"Aside from these two races, are there any other races in the universe?" Tsubasa asked.
"Yes," the Tian Yu nodded, "The universe is vast and boundless, teeming with races, such as the Ancient Dragon Race, the Phoenix Race race, the Kirin Race, and so on. These races were once glorious and possessed great power. But under the pressure from the Starry Sky Insect Race and the Ōtsutsuki God Clan, they can now only protect their ancestral planet, struggling to resist and survive in the cracks."
She recalled those ancient races from her memories, and a sense of melancholy washed over her. " The Ancient Dragon Race controlled the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, possessing incredibly strong physical bodies. They were once a dominant force, but under the constant invasions of the Insect Race and the plundering of the Ōtsutsuki God Clan, only a few of their kind remain, cowering on the Dragon Race ancestral star, barely managing to protect themselves thanks to its natural barrier; the Phoenix Race controls the Nirvana Fire and possesses an immortal body, but they too could not withstand the suppression of the two great races, and now they are also severely weakened, forced to live a precarious existence in a small corner of the world."
Tsubasa fell silent. He had thought that becoming Saint had put him at the pinnacle of power, but now it seemed he was nothing more than a frog in a well. The vastness and cruelty of this universe far exceeded his comprehension.
"Then why did you reincarnate as a human this time?" Tsubasa asked in confusion, this was the biggest mystery in his heart.
The Tian Yu shook its head, a hint of confusion in its eyes. "I don't know either. Maybe it was reincarnated in its mother's womb! After being reshaped in its mother's womb, and then undergoing this transformation, it became a fully human."
She paused, a relieved smile appearing on her face, "Perhaps, this is fate's arrangement. In my previous eight lives, I lived in endless slaughter and plunder, my hands stained with blood. Although my strength constantly increased, my heart was filled with weariness and emptiness. In this life, as a human, with my father's love and everyone's companionship, I have felt unprecedented warmth and happiness."
"Moreover, this rebirth has brought about a more complete transformation than any before," Tian Yu, feeling the powerful energy surging within her, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. "In my previous eight lives, my highest strength only reached the Peak Domain Level, still a long way from the Saint Level. But in this life, having transformed from an insect into a human, my life level seems to have undergone a qualitative leap. Now, after nine lifetimes of accumulation and empowerment, I have reached the Quasi-Saint realm, only one step away from becoming a Saint."
Tsubasa was startled and quickly probed Tian Yu's aura. Sure enough, he sensed an extremely powerful energy fluctuation. Although that energy was not yet fully stable, it far surpassed that of ordinary Immortal King and was faintly touching the threshold of becoming a Saint.
"In such a short time, your strength has improved to this extent?" Tsubasa was somewhat incredulous. When Tian Yu first emerged from its cocoon, its strength was only at the Domain Level Early Stage. He never expected that in just half a day, it would soar all the way to the Peak Quasi-Saint.
"This is all thanks to those awakened memories," Tian Yu explained. "Each awakened memory is accompanied by corresponding energy and insights, and my strength increases accordingly. I have been sorting through these memories and digesting the insights within them, and my strength is constantly breaking through. The experience and energy accumulated in the previous eight lifetimes have completely erupted and merged in this lifetime."
She smiled slightly, "Now, not only has my strength increased, but the supernatural abilities and combat experience I mastered in my previous eight lives have also returned. Moreover, due to the transformation in my life level, I can now wield many powers that I couldn't control before."
Tsubasa nodded, feeling both relieved and worried. He was relieved that Tian Yu had not only returned safely but had also gained such a significant boost in strength; however, he was worried that if Tian Yu's identity were exposed, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Starry Sky Insect Race. At that time, not only would Tian Yu be in danger, but the planet would also face annihilation.
" Yu'er," Tsubasa said solemnly, "Your identity is of utmost importance and must never be known to outsiders, especially not to the Starry Sky Insect Race. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Tian Yu's expression turned serious, and he nodded. "Father, I understand. My experiences in the previous eight lives have made me clearly aware of how cruel these two races are. I will not risk my own safety or the safety of everyone else."
She paused, then continued, "Moreover, I can feel that I'm only one step away from becoming a saint, just one step away from devouring a trace of a Saint's essence. If I could devour the essence of Saint Level or higher expert, I might break through very quickly."
Tsubasa felt somewhat relieved. He knew that the Saint's origin that Tian Yu spoke of must be the Great Dao formed by the laws of heaven and earth inherent in the Saint's body. This reminded him of the essence blood of Ōtsutsuki Sōichi. He had obtained several bottles of Saint's blood from Ōtsutsuki Sōichi when he captured him this time.
"I have Ōtsutsuki Sōichi. Here, try a bottle." Tsubasa handed Tian Yu a bottle of shimmering golden Saint's blood essence. "Right now, the most important thing is to increase your strength. Although you are already at the Peak Quasi-Saint, consuming this bottle of Saint's blood might allow you to truly become a Saint. Only when we are strong enough can we protect ourselves and this Shinobi World in the face of potential Mirai crises."
Tian Yu accepted the Saint's blood with delight, nodding in deep agreement. "Father is right. Moreover, I have a vague premonition that the Ōtsutsuki God Clan will not let us off easily. In my previous eight lives, I knew that the Ōtsutsuki God Clan had been searching for a planet with a powerful origin, and this planet's origin power is extremely abundant, which will definitely arouse their covetousness."
"And then there's the Starry Sky Insect Race," the Tian Yu's eyes grew serious. " The Insect Race's senses are incredibly sharp; they can detect powerful life energy in the universe. My rebirth this time, with such intense fluctuations in life energy, has likely already been detected by the Insect Race's mother race. It won't be long before they find this place."
Tsubasa's expression grew even more serious. The fact that two of the universe's overlords might be eyeing this Shinobi World was undoubtedly a huge crisis. He knew that peaceful days were probably numbered.
"It seems we must prepare as soon as possible," Tsubasa said slowly. "I will unite with the major forces of the Shinobi World to jointly enhance our strength and establish a defense system. At the same time, you must also consolidate your Quasi-Saint realm as soon as possible and strive to become a Saint. Only when both of us, father and daughter, reach the Saint Level, along with the Immortal King of the Jonin world, will we have a fighting chance."
Tian Yu nodded. "Father, don't worry, I will work hard. My combat experience from the previous eight lives will save me from many detours. I estimate that in at most another six months, I will be able to completely stabilize my Quasi-Saint realm, and then devour the blood of Saint to break through to the Saint realm."
Tsubasa was very happy. As long as Tian Yu could become Saint, the Shinobi World would have two Saint powerhouses. This would ensure the safety of the Shinobi World.
