The Whereabouts of the System Backpack
Having lived in the Shinobi World for so many years, how could Ren not know the trendy slang of the Shinobi World?
The number one priority is naturally bonds, and the second is peace.
Jiraiya wandered for half his life, searching for someone who could bring peace.
What was Madara's purpose in enduring decades of hardship to bring complete peace to the Shinobi World?
Nagato worked so hard, risking his life to grind levels, all for what? For peace, damn it!
But Ren clearly understands that peace is impossible in a world with humans.
The reason for such certainty is not that Ren is overly pessimistic.
The old man's account clearly shows that humanity's first emperor led humanity to the pinnacle of the universe.
The second emperor established an empire encompassing most of the universe.
In this universe, humanity has no enemies!
Then the only enemy left is humanity itself.
It wasn't just a wild guess; Ren had known for some time that he was currently on a warship.
Star Alliance ships do not belong to the Empire!
The story continues, similar to Ren's guess, but with some differences.
Humanity soon produced its third supreme powerhouse, then a fourth, a fifth...
This supreme being is a god of this universe, unlike the previous God of Ōtsutsuki.
The title of the Ōtsutsuki Clan Shinmei was self-proclaimed; he was still one step away from becoming a god.
For the God of Ōtsutsuki, who was born with unparalleled power, crossing that threshold to become a true god was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
This is why the Ōtsutsuki Clan was created, to help them take that final step.
Once one truly becomes a god, the entire universe will rejoice or tremble, just as a mother gives birth to a child.
Because of the gods, they possessed the power to break through boundaries.
This means that the investment of Mother Universe is about to yield returns.
The second emperor of the human race used the power to break through boundaries to begin a new journey, and the empire also ushered in a period of rapid development.
The emergence of war has given humanity in this universe a broader perspective.
But no matter how many battlefields are opened up, the enemy is always the same: humans! Humans! And more humans!
If the Ōtsutsuki Clan is considered the cancer of this universe, then humanity is the cancer of the endless universe!
The empire, spanning multiple universes, is weary and no longer enthusiastic about waging war.
Peace did not arrive; without the outbreak of war, internal conflicts were inevitable.
Humanity needs enemies!
The empire, with its deeply entrenched power and complex web of interests, was thrown into turmoil.
Humans are a remarkable species. Other intelligent species, once they reach a certain size, will have social structures etched into their genes, with clear division of labor and each performing their own duties to maintain the operation of the species.
This applies not only to intelligent species, but also to some less intelligent species, such as ants.
Human beings' inherent species traits dictate that human evolution is endless, that humans will never be slaves, and that obedience will never be ingrained in our genes or become an instinct.
Therefore, the vast empire could only be maintained by pale emotions and ever-changing interests.
As the empire gradually declined, the Star Alliance, representing the interests of more humanity, rose to power.
This is also a moving and inspiring story, which slowly unfolds before Yuuki as the Ren man speaks.
Ren also learned the identity of the old monster in front of him from the story.
The fourth emperor of the human race, once a pillar of the empire, and now one of the Five Pillars of the Star Alliance.
At this point, Ren realized just how terrifying this old guy was.
Even if Ren obtains the Eternal Flame and acquires the complete Fire Giant template, he can at most be considered to be able to roam freely within the star system.
The big shot in front of me is a monster who can roam freely throughout the universe.
To match Ren, you'd need a Golden Superman or Silver Superman template; even a Golden Superman template wouldn't suffice.
The old man's story was slowly coming to an end, and at this point, Ren was as well-behaved as a child in his twenties.
After the old man finished speaking, Ren immediately presented him with an apple in his left hand and a peach in his right.
Whether others approve or not is their business; Ren himself needs to show his attitude and be proper!
"Old man, no, Your Majesty, is there anything I can help you with? I am willing to give everything for the Star Alliance, even if it means going against the Empire!"
Ren spoke with great enthusiasm and immediately chose his side.
I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Star Alliance!
It's not that Ren is arrogant; the fact that such a powerful figure could patiently tell him stories for hours means that he must possess something the other person needs.
And it's definitely not about combat ability. If we don't immediately express our support and build goodwill, when will we?
"Hmm, not bad. I plan to have you persuade His Majesty of the Empire to surrender, who is also the second Great Emperor of the Human Race. By the way, he can be considered a descendant of the Uchiha Clan."
After taking the peach from Ren's left hand, the old man spoke with unusual solemnity.
Ren was stunned. "Boss, if you want me dead, you can just kill me now. There's no need to go through all this trouble!"
Then Ren saw the old man's smile, which resembled a cat playing with a mouse, and knew that the old man was toying with him.
Sigh, even big shots like this like to joke around?
Ren completely forgot that he, who was also considered a big shot by many ninjas, also liked to joke around and especially enjoyed manipulating other people's emotions.
It's just that the roles have reversed now; he's become the nobody.
As if knowing what Ren was thinking, the old man spoke again.
"You were the one who started this joke, Ren!"
Ren was horrified and immediately focused his mind. Was this big shot really that terrifying?
"Hmm, it's even more terrifying than you imagine!"
The old man continued speaking, and Ren was on the verge of tears.
Is it really meaningful for a big shot like you to make fun of a nobody like me?
"Quite interesting, Ren. You are no nobody, but the first human to surpass others. As for the reason, I understood it the moment I met you."
The old man didn't stop after he finished speaking; he continued.
"You guessed right, there are indeed some things that require your help, and in return, the Star Alliance can return your cosmic artifact to you!"
After speaking, the old man stretched out his right hand, and within his power, a strange aura that was originally ethereal and invisible became visible to the naked eye.
A colorful backpack, about the size of a fingernail, was spinning continuously in the old man's right hand.
Ren was completely stunned.
