As the group studied a star map of the clan’s territory, they learned that the Shinobi World lay far from the Ōtsutsuki Main Star and that the explored universe was divided into nine star regions.

• Lin Ze rewound the battlefield, left his younger self behind, and carried the unconscious Urashiki through a spacetime tunnel to Dragon Release Village.

• Lin Ze demanded that Nagato show him the power hidden in his Rinnegan or die, and his eyes began changing as Nagato challenged him.

• Lin Ze’s heart was pierced through, but he stayed alive, shocking Hidan, Obito, Nagato, and Black Zetsu.

Lin Ze defeated Hidan and Kakuzu, then faced Nagato’s powerful techniques with his Susanoo. Nagato revealed Cosmic Annihilation Light, which destroyed half of Lin Ze’s Susanoo and left the battle unresolved.

• Lin Ze blasted Hidan into blood mist and shattered all five of Kakuzu’s hearts, killing them both.

• Nagato’s beam shattered Susanoo’s shield and erased its entire right half, leaving the giant close to collapsing.

• Lin Ze absorbed the Cosmic Annihilation Light and discovered that it was one part of the Xūmí Cosmic Grand Burial, alongside the Xūmí Starry Sky Seal.

• A calm voice called out to Yotsuki Rō from behind.

Lin Ze confronted Yotsuki Rō and demanded to know how he obtained the Xūmí Starry Sky Seal. After overpowering him in a fierce fight, Lin Ze stopped just short of killing him, and Yotsuki Rō agreed to talk.

• Lin Ze found Yotsuki Rō and asked how he had mastered the Xūmí Starry Sky Seal.
• Yotsuki Rō tried to escape, but Lin Ze’s Eternal Space-Time Grand Burial suppressed the seal and trapped him.

• Yotsuki Rō activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and raced across the lake, but Lin Ze struck him into a deep crater.
• Lin Ze threatened to kill Yotsuki Rō unless he revealed the seal’s origin, and Yotsuki Rō agreed to tell him.

Lin Ze learned that Yotsuki Rō had awakened the Xūmí Starry Sky Seal after training in Flying Thunder God, then killed him and fused the seal with the Cosmic Annihilation Light. The fusion became the Xūmí Cosmic Grand Burial, a power capable of compressing and annihilating an entire world.

• Yotsuki Rō told Lin Ze that he had traded Kumogakure secrets to Shimura Danzō for Flying Thunder God and awakened the Xūmí Starry Sky Seal while training with it.

• Lin Ze absorbed the fused power into his Rinnegan and discovered it could create a cosmic domain and unleash the Xūmí Cosmic Grand Burial.

Lin Ze completed the fusion that created Xūmí Cosmic Grand Burial, killed Danzo and Root in the parallel world, then left the Shinobi World. Using his new cosmic perception, he discovered that the Shinobi World had been divided into six artificial parallel worlds.

• Lin Ze completed the three-hour fusion and awakened Xūmí Cosmic Grand Burial in his Rinnegan.
• Lin Ze used the Xūmí Starry Sky Seal to leave the ravaged lake, where Yotsuki Rō's corpse remained.
• Lin Ze returned to Konoha, killed Danzo, and destroyed Root's bases before the village leadership noticed.
• Lin Ze traveled beyond the star system and used Cosmic Perception to reveal six Shinobi Worlds arranged in three pairs.
• Lin Ze saw that each pair of worlds overlapped across spatial planes and was connected by an enormous formation.

Lin Ze studied the formation hiding the six Shinobi Worlds, then bypassed it to enter a technologically advanced world with no chakra. He began searching there for a Grand Burial as a mysterious man in white robes sensed something and sped up.

• Lin Ze deduced that the formation concealed the Shinobi Worlds, split visitors between parallel worlds, and froze them until their counterparts could reunite with them.
• Lin Ze found Urashiki suspended in standby and chose not to interfere, then resolved to collect the four Grand Burials he still lacked.
• Lin Ze traveled through a void rift to a pair of planets covered in metal structures and orbital rings, where he sensed no chakra and recognized a cyberpunk civilization.

• Lin Ze began searching the planet for a Grand Burial while a black-haired man in white robes sensed something, saw nothing, and sped up.
