"All right, this is pretty much over. Before we finish, I have one question: were you created by the Evil God or the Shinigami?!"
Before ending the battle...
Bai Ye still had a question for Gozu.
He knew perfectly well that the Sage of Six Paths had not created this thing.
Its characteristics suggested that it might have something to do with the Evil God or the Shinigami.
Many things in the shinobi world actually belonged to someone. They had not simply appeared out of thin air.
They were either connected to the Ōtsutsuki Clan or to the native gods.
In short, all these things had an origin.
There was absolutely no way the Box of Ultimate Bliss had come from nowhere.
When Bai Ye asked that question, a flicker of shock crossed Gozu's face. "You actually know of Lord Jashin?!"
Gozu's answer told Bai Ye what he needed to know.
Just as he had suspected, Gozu had indeed been created by the Evil God.
He had known it. Someone had to have created this thing.
At the time, Bai Ye had thought the Evil God was the most likely candidate.
Now, it seemed his guess had been right on the mark.
"Since you know of Lord Jashin, I think..."
"All right, shut up. You can go back into the Box of Ultimate Bliss!"
Bai Ye did not let Gozu continue. He knocked Gozu straight back into the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
After being knocked back inside, Gozu felt a little dazed.
Wait, what?!
This was nothing like what I imagined!
Since this guy knew of the Evil God, shouldn't he know just how powerful the Evil God was?!
Shouldn't he work with me so we could serve Lord Jashin together?!
*Maybe Lord Jashin would even grant him eternal life
