Grey Valley's body is still warm, but Xuan's eyes have already penetrated this body and cast it into a deeper dimension.
The Eternal Mangekyō in his right eye, the magnificent and deadly scarlet pattern, is slowly rotating at a frequency that is difficult to detect with the naked eye.
In his vision, the entire world was deconstructed into countless shimmering threads that were thinner than spider silk.
These lines sometimes intersect, sometimes run parallel, extending to unknown distances - this is the "destiny trajectory simulation diagram" analyzed by the system.
The souls of those powerful sentient beings devoured in the past, as well as the fragments plundered from the depths of the memory of the Rinnegan holder, were finally merged into one and became the cornerstone for him to spy on the "causal chain".
He could see a destiny line belonging to Madara Uchiha, as thick as a dragon, burning with the flames of destruction and creation, rushing straight towards an end point called "Eye of the Moon".
The other line, belonging to Obito, is full of twisted sadness and obsession. It firmly believes that the path it is walking on is the only right path.
"Madara wants to rely on Eye of the Moon Plan to gain insight into the future, while Obito believes that fate has already been determined and cannot be violated..." The corner of Xuan's mouth raised a cold arc, and he whispered to himself as softly as a sigh, "They are all addicted to 'seeing', but they forget that what really determines everything is never seeing, but rewriting. And sealing is the most powerful rewriting technique."
On the other side, in the center of the formation where Grey Valley's body was, Chiyo Saori's movements were precise and cold.
She carefully placed the body of Grey Valley flat in the center of the circular formation composed of the remaining cores of Ten-Tails. The ominous aura emanating from the remaining cores made the surrounding air thicker.
On the outside of the formation, puppet piles engraved with Scarlet Eye runes were driven deep into the ground, as if they were the tombstones of some kind of evil god.
She took out a chip that was completely black and seemed to be able to absorb all light from her arms, and handed it to Baba who looked nervous at the side.
"Take this and find a way to bury it into the water source point of Allied Shinobi Forces's logistics supply."
Baba took the chip and felt it was cold, and the coldness almost froze his soul.
He swallowed hard. "Master Saori, what is the use of this thing...?"
"It will dissolve silently in the water," Chiyo Saori's voice said without a trace of ripples. "Once someone drinks it, they will see a real illusion called 'Scarlet-Eyed Judgment' in their deepest dreams. In that trial, all their sins, cowardice and betrayal will be ruthlessly exposed and judged by Red-Eyed God."
Baba's heart sank suddenly. "What if... they don't believe this is just a dream?"
"Ha," Chiyo Saori sneered contemptuously, "As long as one person believes it, fear will spread in their hearts like a plague. When the seeds of doubt are planted, the fortress of trust will begin to collapse from within. War is never just a fight, it is a battle of hearts."
Baba shuddered and did not dare to ask any more questions. He held the chip tightly and disappeared into the shadows.
At this moment, Xuan, who was on the high cliff, began to form complicated and weird seals on his hands.
It wasn't any Hand Seals method known to Shinobi World, it was more like some kind of ancient ritual that had been forgotten.
As the last seal was completed, he shouted, "Void Devour·Return to Ruins--Reverse!"
In an instant, a force completely opposite to the one that devoured all things erupted with him as the center.
It is no longer a black abyss swallowing energy, but an "anti-destiny wave" that is invisible and has no quality, but seems to be able to shake the foundation of the entire world!
The system's cold notification sounded in his mind:
"Warning: Enable [Myriad Phenomena Return to the Eye·Mimicry] ultimate permissions."
"Energy consumption: Eternal Mangekyō will enter a high-load continuous operation state until the host energy is exhausted or it is actively terminated."
"Start constructing the temporary causal law Sealing Jutsu formula--[Fate-Track Lock]!"
This technique does not seal the body, does not isolate chakra, and does not even cause any physical damage to the target.
What it locks is something more essential than life and power - the right to choose.
Once locked by [Fate-Track Lock], every decision and every thought of the target will be pulled by invisible forces, eventually leading to the failure ending that has already been set.
They will choose the most advantageous path self-righteously, but they don't know that the end of that road is the cliff prepared by Xuan.
At the same time, the coalition forces' temporary camp was hundreds of miles away.
Madara Uchiha sat cross-legged, and the injury on his chest slowly healed under the strong recovery power of Hashirama Cells.
Suddenly, his heart felt suffocated, as if being held by an invisible big hand, and even breathing became difficult.
He spread out an ancient scroll about the seal of Tailed Beast in his hand, and when he was about to study it, the scroll spontaneously ignited with a "pop" without any warning!
The flame was a strange pale color and swallowed up the scroll in an instant, leaving only a line of writing made of ashes in mid-air. "Your next step has been prohibited."
The writing dispersed with the wind, as if it had never appeared.
Madara suddenly raised his head, the Rinnegan purple light in his eyes was strong, his pupils were activated to the extreme, and he could see everything in sight.
However, he scanned it countless times and could not find any trace of the barrier or spell.
The air is still air, the earth is still earth, everything is terrifyingly normal.
But the feeling of emptiness of being deprived of certain qualifications was so real that it sent shivers down his spine.
In another more secret shadow space, Obito, wearing a mask, trembled violently.
He just tried to contact White Zetsu Clone lurking everywhere through spiritual links, but found that all communications were cut off in an instant.
It wasn't that the signal was interfered with, or that it was blocked by the barrier, but that feeling... it was as if the concept of "connection" between him and White Zetsu had been erased from the world.
An unprecedented chill rose in the hearts of Madara and Obito at the same time.
This is not surveillance, let alone confrontation.
This is... edit.
Someone is editing their destiny wantonly like revising the draft of a book!
In a corner of the ruins, Torune Aburame is using a miniature recorder composed of Kikaichū to monitor the movements of the battlefield.
Suddenly, the picture on the recorder became distorted and began to play an image that had never happened before.
In the picture, he himself knelt at Xuan's feet in embarrassment, trembling all over, his face full of despair and surrender, and muttering to himself, "I... I am willing to give everything I have, my insect swarm, my secret technique, my loyalty..."
"What the hell!" Torune smashed the recorder with a fist in horror, causing bugs to scatter in all directions.
He gasped for air, trying to tell himself that this was just some kind of clever illusion.
But when he opened his trembling palms, he was horrified to find that a clear red mark appeared on his palms at some point.
The shape of the mark is exactly that of a snake holding its head and tail and devouring its own tail - Ouroboros Eye!
"He... did he even seal my future... for me?"
This thought was like a thunderbolt, completely defeating his last psychological defense.
Torune's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground, with only endless fear and confusion in his eyes.
On the top of the cliff, Xuan slowly put down Hand Seals's hands.
The Mangekyō Sharingan light that was turning crazily in his right eye gradually faded and returned to its usual depth.
The first round of deployment of [Fate-Track Lock] has been completed, and an invisible net covering the entire battlefield has been cast.
He looked down at the chaotic and small battlefield below. In his eyes, the ninjas who were still fighting were just chess pieces on the chessboard that were about to be cleared by the rules.
"Do you think that the seal is a cage used to imprison the enemy?" He spoke softly, his voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry the weight of the whole world.
"Wrong--"
"The seal is used to define who is the only master of this world."
The moment the words fell, a throbbing that could not be described in words came from the deepest and oldest core of the earth.
This is not a vibration at the physical level, but a tremor originating from the level of causality.
Xuan Na's domineering behavior of rewriting destiny was like throwing a huge boulder into a calm lake. The ripples it produced finally touched a certain existence that had been sleeping for thousands of years.
The foundation of the world seemed to be groaning under its weight at this moment.
This tremor was silent, but it was everywhere. It penetrated the rock formations, crossed the mantle, and finally accurately converged on a huge and silent stone statue deep underground.
Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
That huge body had been separated from all Tailed Beast and should have fallen into eternal silence. On the surface of the rock, fine dust suddenly shook off.
Immediately afterwards, the vibration originating from the law of cause and effect seemed to find an outlet for catharsis, and all converged on the tightly closed and only giant eye of the demon statue.
The stone eyelids, which had never seen any movement in thousands of years, actually experienced an extremely slight but extremely clear... tremor at this moment.
An ancient, desolate aura that transcends life and death is slowly awakening from the gap in the eyelids.
