Strange Yet Ambiguous Attitude

Whether it's peace or not, Ren doesn't care at all.

At that moment, he was listening to the old man recount the history of wars in the New World.

It was a war that spanned more than two thousand years. One side was intelligent beings, mainly humans, and the other side was the cosmic overlords known as the cancer of civilization.

The old man clearly possessed the talent of a storyteller; the brutal war became fascinating and incredibly moving in his narration.

The more I heard it, the stronger the sense of déjà vu I felt for Ren became.

The former cosmic overlord of this new world seems to bear a strong resemblance to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

A powerful physical body capable of traversing the void of the universe.

The innate supernatural power is almost close to the laws of the universe, and the key is that this innate supernatural power is focused on all kinds of strange eyes.

A biotechnology creation that plunders the planet's potential in a short period of time.

And the curse of death containing backups of all information, which allows the cursed to be reborn within the body of the cursed.

"Old man, does this cosmic overlord have a name?"

Ren asked his first question since hearing the story, and then handed the old man another apple.

"Yes, because their surnames are all Ōtsutsuki Clan, we call them Ōtsutsuki Starfolk!"

As the old man answered, he casually accepted the apple that Ren offered, then held the apple in his hand and smiled slightly.

This is not the new world!

Ren's new worldview was destroyed before it could even be built.

So my initial guess was correct?

This is the future, the future of the Shinobi World!

The desolate planet I first encountered was the future Shinobi World!

"Old man, does the Star Alliance have any records of the planet where I was captured? That's the planet I lived on!"

From the previous stories, Ren already knew that he was in the hands of a human civilization called the Star Alliance.

Once Ren realized that this was the future, what he wanted to know most was information about the Shinobi World.

The old man gave Ren a deep look, then gave a meaningful reply.

"Yes, and in great detail, because that is the home planet of human civilization, the Hokage of Konoha."

Rumble~

A series of thunderclaps exploded in Ren's heart, and he finally understood many things.

Why would this incredibly powerful figure have time to tell stories to a nobody like me?

Why was it that all my little tricks were easily seen through by this old monster, yet the other party's attitude seemed somewhat ambiguous?

In the Shinobi World, if you are patiently explaining something to someone, the other person will constantly make small moves and test you.

Ren will let the other party truly feel his burning Will of Fire!

So, it's all because I'm their ancestor!

Having figured this out, Ren wasn't actually that happy.

This can explain part of the reason for the other party's ambiguous attitude, but it is only a small part, and may even be negligible.

Putting everything else aside, if Ren had the ability, even if Madara tried to show off in front of him, Ren would definitely slap him across the face.

With a smile, I told them, "Don't speak loudly in front of me!"

This applies to Madara as well, considering that Madara's lifespan with Ren was so short, only a few decades.

As for Ren's true ancestor, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, Ren has a sworn enemy with him, to the death.

It hasn't been that long, maybe a thousand years.

This era is certainly more than a thousand years removed from the Shinobi World.

The other party's attitude towards me now is a bit too enthusiastic, far beyond what I, as an ancient person, could expect.

There's a problem, absolutely a problem!

After learning the truth, Ren didn't become carefree; instead, he became even more cautious.

"I see, old man. It seems we're from the same hometown. Here, have another peach!"

Ren continues to play a similar clownish role, acting like a sycophant.

The old man continued his story.

Because of the war with the Ōtsutsuki Clan, humanity has seen rapid development in both cultivation methods and technology.

The fact that humans were able to wage war against the Ōtsutsuki Clan shows that they are not a simple species.

Humans also possess racial talents that other intelligent beings in this universe lack, perhaps because the initial humans were too weak.

This makes the limitations on human beings on the path of evolution quite small; compared to other species in the universe, humans can be said to have no limitations.

As long as the environment provides sufficient conditions for evolution, humanity can continue to evolve indefinitely.

After more than two thousand years of war, the first supreme being emerged among humankind.

The birth of a supreme being is naturally a momentous event, with human civilizations, already possessing considerable territory, going to great lengths to support this supreme being.

They chose a path similar to that of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but were even more reckless.

They completely drained all the inhabited planets, except their home planet—a total of over a hundred—within just a few decades, to supply the evolution of humanity's strongest being at the time.

It can be said that all the accumulated resources of humankind over two thousand years were used to support one person.

Fortunately, the outcome was positive; this universe welcomed its first true god.

On the very first day of his birth, the strongest being slaughtered the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan and destroyed their legacy.

The Ōtsutsuki Starfolk still exist in the universe today, but the original Ōtsutsuki Clan no longer exists.

These are all exceptionally talented individuals from other native planets who voluntarily attached themselves to the Ōtsutsuki Clan Ōtsutsuki Clan and were subsequently modified by them.

For example, Ban, or Toneri, are people of extraordinary talent. Here, talent refers to close blood ties.

The story didn't end there. After that supreme being was born, humanity completely replaced the Ōtsutsuki Clan and became the new rulers of the universe.

Another thousand years later, after the birth of the second supreme being, the first supreme being chose to leave this universe to pursue a wider world.

The second supreme being unified the entire human civilization, established an empire encompassing most of the universe, and named the strongest human being the Great Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Ren's eyes flickered slightly, not because of the title "Emperor," but because he had already vaguely guessed the reason for the other party's strange yet ambiguous attitude.
