An Unexpected Rescuer

On his first day here, Ren was taught to behave himself, and all his pride vanished.

Humanity, however, has been the master of the universe for over seven thousand years, even though it was ten thousand years later.

They defeated the Ōtsutsuki Clan, dominated the universe, and even broke through boundaries to conquer other universes.

The reason I stopped was simply because I was tired.

As the strongest member of his clan, the old man displayed arrogance to the fullest extent at all times.

Most people are fine, because they genuinely believe that Ren is the creator of the Chinese language and give Ren the respect he deserves.

But the old man was different; he clearly saw through everything about Ren.

Despite being extremely kind, she harbored a deep-seated arrogance towards Ren.

The reason why I can get along with Ren so peacefully and patiently answer his questions is just like playing with a Ren.

This feeling was awful, but Ren had no choice. When facing someone stronger than himself, he had to back down.

Things wouldn't have changed, but the old man was too arrogant.

The archives of Ren contain a detailed record of Ren past. Nine thousand years ago, a scholar who specialized in studying Ren wrote down a heartfelt piece of advice.

[If you disagree with Uchiha Yushu, do not listen to a single word he says, and do not have any conversation with him!]

The old man naturally saw the words, but he didn't take them to heart at all; he was just a deceased old scholar.

The old man still held a strong interest in the rather legendary Ren.

But upon seeing Ren for the first time and learning about Ren background, he harbored contempt for him.

Its power almost entirely comes from cosmic artifacts; its own strength is extremely weak. As for that wondrous Chinese language...

He was merely a disseminator; the old man was more interested in the wondrous universe from which Ren himself.

During the conversation with Ren, most of the time was spent exploring Ren's past life memories.

Ren also learned some information from the conversation, such as his own status as a Transcendent. Although he didn't know how he compared to the strongest, he wasn't too far behind.

Later, Ren learned about the preciousness of spacetime energy, which gave Ren a second layer of confidence.

After accepting the mission, Ren partially entered the system space, immediately severing all contact.

At this moment, within the system space, Ren stayed in the log section, constantly reminding himself of this.

Upon returning, destroy all the books you copied in your early years. Such heretics who do not believe in their ancestors are not worthy of speaking Chinese language.

Not only that, he also repeatedly told himself that if things didn't work out, he could just join the Ōtsutsuki Clan, since humans would ultimately be no better off than the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Ren didn't really care about where humanity was headed in this universe.

All of Ren's bonds are in the Shinobi World, on that tiny planet, in a village that's practically nonexistent, on a small piece of clan land.

No matter how magnificent or heroic the history of human development in your universe may be, what does it have to do with me?

I am human, that's true, but I am also a descendant of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

This is just an experiment. If it doesn't work, everyone will be fine, Ren will just have to accept his bad luck and stay there for a while before going back.

Then, no matter what Ren does, he cannot change the predetermined future. The Ōtsutsuki Clan are destined to perish, and humanity is destined to rise. Ren just has to accept it.

If it works, it means the future is not predetermined, but one will definitely be able to return safely, and every action will have a profound impact on the future.

Since nothing will happen to you, why not give it a try?

The effects had already taken place, so the old man sought out Ren, one of the Five Pillars and the strongest being on the path of time, who was the first to notice the anomaly.

The entire universe is becoming increasingly unfamiliar and alienated, as if it is gradually rejecting itself.

At the Five Pillars Council.

An invisible stream of information flashed continuously.

Should we take action?

"I can't see the future anymore; it's as if I'm being shielded by a higher power!"

"The river of fate is now raging fiercely, and I cannot leap out of its waters!"

"But my probability calculations show a 100% success rate!"

"Then let's just take action. He's just a transcendent being who relies on cosmic artifacts. Time, wasn't your teacher one too?"

"That's right, cosmic wonders vary in strength, and most are not even capable of enabling one to transcend!"

"I agree with taking action!"

I second that!

I second that!

"..."

The old man standing in front of Ren's gaze sharpened again, and he reached out his left hand to attack Ren.

The speed seemed incredibly slow, almost like slow motion, but Ren had already seen the ending.

His supposed immortality would be obliterated by this single blow in the endless flow of time.

The soul will completely dissipate, and the old man will directly take away the damaged system within the body.

Something's not right!

Since I can change the future, I'm sure I can return to the Shinobi World!

So, ultimately, if we can't rely on time to solve the problem, do we have to take action ourselves?

Ren wasn't afraid; he was sensing everything around him.

I want to see what I'll look like in the future, and whether I'll become more handsome.

In Ren's perception, it felt as if a century had passed before the old man's attack was about to strike.

A hand appeared out of thin air, with slender fingers and delicate, fair skin. The moment Ren saw this hand, a thought popped into his head: How beautiful!

Unsurprisingly, his palm blocked the attack that could have easily destroyed Ren.

It certainly has a high-class feel and looks very harmonious, but why do I end up looking like I'm going for an effeminate style?

Just as Ren was lost in thought, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Ren- kun, so you can be this pathetic too!"

Then, a figure with long, straight black hair stood in front of Ren.
