"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Qingyi spoke loudly, concealing her fear and unease.

"What if I told you... the three of them were actually the same person?"

"That they were all His Highness, our Divine Child?!"

Qingyi parted her red lips and softly uttered those words.

"No, that's impossible!"

The boy shouted.

How could those three great figures possibly be the same person?

They were all that tyrant who knew nothing but ruling through force?!! How was that possible?!

"Right, right, that can't be possible..."

"How could such heaven-sent genius, such extraordinary gifts, and such incredible talent all belong to one person?"

The girls shrieked in unison.

Clearly, Qingyi's revelation had left them both delighted and overwhelmed.

But once they calmed down...

"Actually, thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible."

"Right, they all appeared at roughly the same time, and the moment they appeared, they brought about changes the Land of Ancestors hadn't seen in a hundred years!"

"If all three of them were one person, that would actually explain everything!"

"It seems like only the Divine Child could accomplish that!"

"Exactly! I was wondering how so many astonishing geniuses could appear in such a short time!"

"But that's incredible! What a blessing for our Land of Ancestors! He's a treasure heaven bestowed upon us! With His Highness the Divine Child, how could our Land of Ancestors fail to prosper?!"

"The Divine Child, the Divine Child... is this who our Divine Child truly is?!"

Some shed tears!

Some wept with joy!

Some felt anguish pierce their hearts!

The Starlight Pavilion's shops spread throughout the Land of Ancestors, boosting the entire country's economy beyond measure.

The Sky Feather Pavilion had appeared out of nowhere in the Land of Ancestors, bringing potatoes that had all but wiped out famine across the country!

Who knew how many times they had multiplied the Land of Ancestors' food production?

Su Ye! He had released several albums and singles, then invented Go, greatly enriching people's inner lives.

And who knew how much he had expanded their entertainment!

When those three identities were connected,

they were all the Divine Child!!

The resulting impact rivaled a nuclear bomb!

"In his first year in our Land of Ancestors, His Highness the Divine Child founded the Starlight Pavilion, ensuring everyone had clothes to wear!"

"In his second year, he founded the Sky Feather Pavilion and spread potato cultivation, ensuring everyone had food to eat!"

"In his third year, he created divine songs like 'That Night We Descended from the Sky' and 'Last Night’s Stars Were Just Like You,' along with Go! He gave everyone's minds rest and renewal!"

"Who knows how many sleepless souls he has comforted, filling all the people of our Land of Ancestors with vigor! Vitality! Spirit!"

"His achievements sustain the people's livelihoods! His achievements strengthen the nation! His achievements will benefit countless generations!"

"And yet you say my young master doesn't deserve to be the Divine Child?"

By then, Yuya was just as dumbfounded. If she hadn't said anything, even he wouldn't have known he was so damn impressive.

Qingyi actually has a silver tongue! Who would have guessed!

It's settled. You're my diplomat from now on.

"I... I don't believe it! Do you have proof?!"

In truth, the boy already believed almost every word. If it weren't Yuya, there would have been no need to waste so much breath.

But he was still making one final, desperate stand.

"Do you recognize these?"

Qingyi slowly took out two objects!

A purple token and a white feather.

"That's the Starlight Pavilion's highest-ranking Purple Mystic Token!!"

"They say seeing that token is the same as seeing the pavilion master!"

"And the Sky Feather Pavilion's White Feather!!"

"That's also the Sky Feather Pavilion's highest-ranking token!"

The crowd was utterly stunned!

"Even so, at most that proves the masters of the Starlight Pavilion and the Sky Feather Pavilion are His Highness the Crown Prince! What about Lord Su Ye? How do you prove that?!"

The boy shouted hysterically.

"Oh? You want me to prove my identity?"

Yuya raised an eyebrow, a trace of amusement playing at the corners of his finely shaped lips.

He had been watching the show all this time.

With the boy asking questions and Qingyi answering them, they really did seem like a pair of planted accomplices.

Ahem, did Qingyi really not bring this boy here to expose my identities?

"Yuya is Su Ye! The Sky Feather Pavilion and the Starlight Pavilion are merely divisions of my name! I, Otsutsuki Yuya, have never needed to explain my actions to anyone! Your insolence alone is enough for me to execute your entire clan!"

Yuya scoffed, his handsome face displaying a breathtaking charm.

The fangirls all screamed at the tops of their lungs.

"I... this humble commoner... could not atone even with a hundred deaths! But the person I've admired most... all my life... is Young Master Su. I want to know who Young Master Su truly is."

The boy spoke hoarsely, looking utterly lost.

"Very well. I'll grant your wish. Afterward, you must kneel before the Divine Maiden's door and remain there!"

Yuya spoke after a moment's thought.

Looks like it's time to show some real talent. This damn choice is such a hassle.

Still, this feeling of being watched... if that earlier intuition reward hadn't boosted it so much, I really wouldn't have noticed. Unless I'm mistaken, Princess Kaguya must be watching me with her Byakugan.

With that thought, he slowly took out a flute.

"This piece, like the ones before it, is a gift I've dedicated to my Divine Maiden. Its name is 'Fate Brought Us Together.' I intended to share it with you in the next release, but now I'll have to unveil it early. Allow me to introduce myself again: I am Su Ye, and I am also Otsutsuki Yuya."

As his clear, melodious voice slowly rang out,

the corners of Yuya's handsome lips rose gently into a smile that could steal anyone's heart.

It instantly sent the crowd into a frenzy, making the fangirls scream uncontrollably.

At the same time, he brought the flute to his lips and began to blow softly.

A melody drifted leisurely from the flute.

The instant those flute notes sounded, the entire scene fell silent.

As the piece unfolded,

people seemed to feel a warm breeze brush gently past them.

It was as though they were strolling through a soft, drizzling rain.

As though snowflakes were drifting down across the sky.

As though wisps of mist had carried them into a heavenly realm.

Everyone present became helplessly immersed in that beautiful, enchanting melody.

Regardless of country or region, music alone could reach straight into people's hearts without borders.

At that moment, everyone felt as though they had stepped into that carefully woven song.

They found themselves in a warm haven, with gentle breezes, pattering rain, snow drifting across the sky, and fallen petals scattered in profusion.

Every detail held them spellbound, unable to pull away.

Beautiful!

It was simply too beautiful!

Such music belonged only in heaven; how often could mortals ever hear it?

"Sniff... it's so beautiful. This song reminds me of my first love... of my youth that's gone forever."

Some found it resonated with them and could no longer stop their tears from falling.

"It reminds me of my wife, of when we first met. What happy days those were."

Some smiled faintly, seemingly recalling something happy.

"My old friend is gone. Time flows on like a river. I should have let go long ago."

Others felt their souls soothed and relaxed, their hearts more peaceful and serene than ever before.

At that moment, having personally witnessed the birth of such a divine melody,

no one had any doubts left! Only the legendary Su Ye, Young Master Su, could create such divine music!

Only he could play it so vividly that everyone felt transported into it!

In the crowd, the two sisters embraced and wept.

"Little sister... I was wrong about you..."

"Sniff... big sister... I told you my Divine Child was the most wonderful person."

"Yes, he's the most outstanding person in this world. I should have been drawn to his face sooner, just like you."

The older sister was filled with regret, clearly blaming herself for not falling for Yuya sooner.

She had actually needed to wait until he displayed his talents before she was drawn to him.

What did that make her?

Shameless!

"Exactly! Big sister, it's not too late to like him with me now!!"

Elsewhere stood the stunningly beautiful woman with the cool, aloof air.

"What else could I expect from His Highness the Divine Child? I knew the man I liked couldn't possibly be ordinary, yet they laughably assumed I only cared about looks."

She could not help sighing with emotion.

"Our dear big brother was this amazing all along~ Let's see who dares say we only care about looks now!"

A group of women from the Divine Child camp clung to one another and sobbed.

As steadfast supporters of the Divine Child from beginning to end,

they had inevitably faced plenty of criticism, yet they had never backed down.

They even felt a faint sense of pride!

Their judgment had been right! They hadn't been wrong!

At the same time, a feeling of vindication welled up within them.

In that short span, many members of the Divine Child camp and the Peerless Faction had already shaken hands and made peace.

Some sisters who had fallen out now found themselves sharing the same idol, and could not help feeling a renewed sense of kinship!

By then, some had already realized just how it would be when those three identities came together in His Highness the Divine Child!

How astonishing that was!

He truly possessed not only a celestial face, but also the unparalleled talents of a celestial being!

What a prodigy, what a heaven-sent genius!

And this prodigy was actually their Divine Child!

Everyone's eyes instantly filled with tears and hope.

It was as though they could suddenly see the Land of Ancestors' bright, dazzling future!

Otsutsuki Yuya! Forever their god!

The piece ended, but everyone remained immersed in its melody, unable to come back to themselves for a long time.

Seeing this, Yuya could not help smiling faintly.

Over the past year, he had gradually added countless points through talent-related choices.

Music in particular had reached its absolute peak!

In this ancient Naruto world, where entertainment and culture had yet to develop,

combined with his experience listening to songs in his previous life, wasn't creating a timeless tune child's play?

Meanwhile, those potatoes and silk had also been rewards issued by the system.

Heaven knew how conflicted he had felt when two choices with hefty rewards appeared alongside a potato!

It was the first time he had seen a reward even lamer than attribute points!

Fortunately, the system's potatoes were different after all, with an astonishing ability to reproduce!

They had allowed him to successfully cultivate crops in the Land of Ancestors!

"Big sister asked me to govern the country well... are you satisfied now, big sister?"

Yuya murmured softly.
