The dim starry sea was utterly silent, sparse starlight hanging in the distance. A pitch-black object shaped like a flying saucer was speeding through space with the power of a black hole.
Inside the flying saucer, Kaguya's cheeks were flushed, but her expression remained cold and proud. She was clearly unconvinced.
Naruto chuckled and suddenly lunged forward. Kaguya let out a startled cry, and her body went limp.
The next second, the flying saucer made of Truth-Seeking Orbs began to shake violently.
Naruto frowned and hurriedly told Kaguya to get dressed. Before long, the outer Truth-Seeking Orbs gathered together again, forming a pitch-black sphere.
By now, the two had drifted through the universe for several decades. Naruto did not even know which of the twelve universes he was currently in. Without convenient spatial movement like an angel's, relying solely on Yomotsu Hirasaka to travel was painfully inefficient.
There had not been a complete lack of planets along the way. But the God Tree had extremely high requirements for where it could be planted. Its essence was to devour an entire planet's life force to elevate its own level of life, so ordinary planets simply did not qualify.
Whenever there was nothing else to do, Naruto would engage in things both he and his maid Kaguya enjoyed. Every so often, he would also visit the Dragon Vein World to enjoy treatment fit for an emperor.
However, after visiting the Dragon Vein World too many times, the flow of time there had gradually begun approaching that of the Main World. The more than twenty years of frozen-time buffer he had prepared were nearly exhausted, yet he still had not found even a trace of a planet suitable for planting the God Tree.
Naruto could only put his enjoyable time-stopping journey on hold
