My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 160

However, the Evil God ignored your words and continued to explain:

As the Ōtsutsuki God and the Gods of the Shinobi World fell one after another, or were severely wounded and hid in corners, barely clinging to life, the Ōtsutsuki Clan also suffered heavy losses.

Due to the Ōtsutsuki God’s blood spilling into the Shinobi World, the people of the Shinobi World gained chakra from then on…

The gods’ war concluded, and the Primordial Era ended.

The remaining Ōtsutsuki came to the Shinobi World, but paid no heed to the gods clinging to life. They merely planted another Divine Tree, and after it sprouted, they left again.

This was an evil life form that could absorb the planet’s ley lines and the power of fallen gods, ultimately transforming into a fruit capable of birthing new gods, to be consumed by the Ōtsutsuki Clan!

Although the gods barely clinging to life already knew the Divine Tree’s essence, its roots had deeply penetrated the dragon脉, and they were powerless to eradicate it.

On the contrary, many gods who had recovered from their injuries by utilizing the dragon脉’s power were quietly devoured by the Divine Tree while in slumber…

This marked the beginning of the Shinobi World’s Ancient Era.

In this era, gods fell, immortal arts vanished, and living beings suffered immensely. Only the towering Divine Tree stood perpetually!

The surviving beings barely clung to life amidst the ruins. Some attempted to relearn ancient immortal arts to gain power, while others tried to establish new civilizations upon the shattered remains…

Time smoothed away the last vestiges of the Primordial Era.

The Divine Tree’s growth siphoned the spiritual essence from the Shinobi World’s ley lines. Near the Divine Tree, not even weeds could grow!

Born into such an environment,

The nascent civilization was ignorant, foolish, and crude, as rough and unrefined as life exhaled by a dying world just to survive…

Villages, large and small, on the barren land, waged war against each other around the Divine Tree, gathering and then splitting apart repeatedly, never ceasing, never progressing.

Days passed in torment…

Until one day, an Ōtsutsuki once again descended.

It was a demigod and a divine messenger.

One was named Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and the other was called Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

This meant that the Divine Tree had grown to its final stage, and they were there to guard and harvest the fruit.

At this time, the once numerous benevolent gods of the Shinobi World had vanished without a trace.

Only the Evil God and the Death God, who had just regained consciousness from their severe injuries, silently observed the barren land.

Despite being the embodiment of evil, as native gods of the Shinobi World, even for their own benefit, they could not sit idly by as this fruit, condensed from the fallen gods and the ley line’s power, was taken from the Shinobi World!

However, although they were gods, both had been severely wounded in the great war and could only exert their full power within their own divine domains, unable to transmit true power to the Shinobi World.

Thus, they could not stop Isshiki and Kaguya.

But they knew that within the Ōtsutsuki Clan, even a two-person team was not always a united front!

The two’s identities seemed similar, but in reality, they were vastly different.

One was called the Chosen One, with the right to consume the Divine Tree’s fruit, thereby ascending to a higher rank.

The other was called the Guardian, with no possibility of ever touching the Divine Tree’s fruit in their entire life, their sole mission being to ensure the Chosen One’s safety.

The Death God, through his authority over souls, learned of Kaguya’s ambition.

So, he planned to use Kaguya to eliminate Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

Ultimately, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was ambushed by Kaguya and sacrificed to the Divine Tree, causing the Divine Tree’s fruit to ripen prematurely.

The Death God also seized the opportunity to send out a clone into the mortal realm, intending to drag Isshiki’s soul into his divine domain.

However, the plan went awry at this point. Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was one of the few in the Ōtsutsuki Clan who could fully control his own power.

The Death God’s clone was defeated in battle, though it caused Isshiki to lose most of his power.

But he himself also lost most of his consciousness due to the destruction of his clone.

Fortunately, Kaguya ultimately consumed the prematurely ripened fruit.

This also thoroughly meant betraying the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Although she gained immense power, she was left with only one choice: to remain in the Shinobi World!

And from the moment Kaguya chose to betray the Ōtsutsuki Clan, it was because of a curse the Evil God had planted during their transaction, in fulfillment of a promise!

How powerful was the Divine Tree’s fruit, which had absorbed the remnants of the Ōtsutsuki God and the fallen gods of the Shinobi World? Even if only prematurely ripened, its power was more than Kaguya, a branch family member of the Ōtsutsuki who originally had no right to touch the fruit, could fully digest.

Thus, the curse that had long been lurking within her, catalyzed by the believers of the Land of Ancestors, gradually began to strip away this immense power.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura were born as products of weakening Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s power!

But Kaguya, who had given birth to the Six Paths brothers, was still incredibly powerful.

If left unchecked, she could even reach the power of Amaterasu Ōmikami, the Shinobi World’s former chief deity!

The surviving gods of the Shinobi World and the newly emerging natural energy practitioners lived in constant fear!

Therefore, the three great holy lands, which had once received the legacy of the Ōmikami of Tsuchimikado, decided to act. While Kaguya had not yet mastered all her power,

They used a scheme to sow discord between Kaguya and her children!

This led to the emergence of the Six Paths Sage, and Kaguya was sealed on the moon!

Although the Six Paths Sage and his brother were born of Kaguya, they were products stripped away by the Evil God’s power and catalysis.

Therefore, they did not fully inherit the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s immortal bodies.

Several hundred years later, Hagoromo and Hamura reached the end of their lifespans.

Just as the gods of the Shinobi World thought that the lingering poison left by the Ōtsutsuki in the Shinobi World had been purged and they could finally resume their development,

Unexpectedly, the Six Paths Sage, somehow learning of the Shinobi World gods’ plans, had already prepared.

He voluntarily abandoned his physical body.

His soul, however, entered the Underworld through his fully activated Rinnegan, splitting off the Death God’s greatly diminished divine realm and authority, establishing the Pure Land as his own divine realm.

And he used his descendants as a medium, using the authority of reincarnation to make them repeatedly descend into the mortal realm, inciting wars.

He continuously absorbed the souls of the deceased, converting them into his own believers to constantly strengthen his power. Now, he had reached the rank of True God, on par with the Evil God.

Although the Six Paths Sage had no physical body, his authority was over souls. Aside from being unable to directly project power into the mortal realm, he had already become the strongest god in the Shinobi World!

“So, do you remember anything?”

At this point, the Evil God suddenly asked.

“Remember what?”

You were utterly confused, only thinking that the Evil God was a good storyteller.

After some communication, you learned that the reason the Evil God had said so much was simply because he believed you were the reincarnation of the Ōtsutsuki God and wanted to awaken your memories.

Facing the Evil God’s question, you naturally denied it outright.

As for why you knew about the Ōtsutsuki Clan, you claimed to be a person from the future, and that knowing these things was only natural.

At the same time, you briefly told the Evil God about what you knew of the Boruto series. As for whether it would still follow the original plot, that was none of your business…

Most importantly, the Evil God actually believed you!

He even explained that traveling through time was no big deal.

After all, the Shinobi World’s dragon脈 was formed by the convergence of the gods’ remnants and the earth, possessing various strange powers. Later, it was severely ravaged during the decisive battle with the Ōtsutsuki God and largely consumed by the Divine Tree.

Its power was very unstable, often leading to temporal distortions…

Subsequently, the Evil God actively opened his divine domain, intending to release you.

You were very puzzled and asked the Evil God about his purpose in bringing you here.

Could it be that he just wanted to tell a story and test whether you were the reincarnation of the Ōtsutsuki God, then let you go unharmed?
