Chapter 379: Returning to the Limited Tsukuyomi World
Chapter 379: Returning to the Limited Tsukuyomi World
In a distant land, amidst the peaceful Liuli Tribe, another self existed.
Be it the Limited Tsukuyomi or the Infinite Tsukuyomi, they were both reflections of the real world.
Just as many believed in the world ruled by Uchiha Obito, it could be deemed real.
What defines reality and illusion?
If what you hear, see, smell, touch, and perceive is no different from reality, then it is true.
However, there is one crucial difference: stability.
The world of Tsukuyomi is like a reflection on a lake's surface, where everything seems logical.
Yet, a single stone cast upon the lake creates ripples that can have a significant impact.
What if, instead, an immense meteor were to be thrown in?
Boom!
The lake's surface would be completely torn apart!
Hui Xuan Yue and the others had effectively cast a meteor into the world of Uchiha Obito.
In the previous second, it could still be identified as the real Tsukuyomi world, but in the next, it ceased to exist.
This was the most significant difference between the real world and the Tsukuyomi world.
Not between reality and illusion, but between stability and chaos.
Thus, if the Limited Tsukuyomi world could be stabilized, could it then be truly defined as the real world?
Hui Xuan Yue, constantly traveling through time and space under the influence of the Dragon Vein, with no end in sight, had come to this realization, and thus, a plan began to form.
The Dragon Vein was an entity that spanned countless parallel worlds.
The sequence of all these worlds was already set and unchangeable.
However, if a new world were to emerge, independent of this sequence yet influenced by the Dragon Vein, it would disrupt the order, transcending the Three Realms and freeing itself from the constraints of the Dragon Vein's original space-time travel rules.
Especially if this new world had a deep connection to Hui Xuan Yue's original world.
There was a high possibility that by activating the power of the Dragon Vein, Hui Xuan Yue could return to his original world.
But there was one problem: how could the Limited Tsukuyomi world be truly stabilized and made indistinguishable from reality?
Hui Xuan Yue held the Nine-Tomoe Crystal Ball, a representation of the Limited Tsukuyomi.
How could a white piece of paper be dyed ink black?
By dropping a drop of intense ink from an external source.
And now, Hui Xuan Yue had two drops.
One was a segment of the Dragon Vein under his control.
By prying open a corner of it and pulling it into the Limited Tsukuyomi world, this world would possess the same qualifications as the real one.
Under the constant influence of the complete Dragon Vein, the Limited Tsukuyomi world would eventually become an indispensable part of the sequence of parallel worlds, just like the others.
However, this would take a considerable amount of time.
Fortunately, Hui Xuan Yue had another drop of "ink."
The original world's Otsutsuki Kaguya!
By sealing her within the Limited Tsukuyomi world, even if everything else was fake, under the influence of a Six Paths-level existence, something could be created out of nothing, turning illusion into reality.
In this way, a major threat would be eliminated, and he would also be able to return to his original world through the Limited Tsukuyomi world, achieving two goals at once.
Now was the time to put the plan to the test.
Roar!!!
The Dragon Vein let out a thunderous roar.
At this moment, under Hui Xuan Yue's will, the Dragon Vein of the current world surged into his body, temporarily transforming him into a Dragon Vein Jinchuriki.
But it didn't stop there.
The Dragon Veins of countless worlds, controlled by Hui Xuan Yue's Rinnegan and Sharingan techniques, roared towards the sky. Skilfully traversing space-time, they channeled their Dragon Vein chakra into Hui Xuan Yue.
Soon, an amount of Dragon Vein chakra sufficient to overwhelm any Jinchuriki gathered within Hui Xuan Yue's body.
Calmly, he absorbed it all.
He had no limits.
But the Dragon Vein did.
Before long, almost all the Dragon Vein chakra that Hui Xuan Yue possessed had gathered within him.
This was what he meant by prying open a corner of the complete Dragon Vein.
With everything prepared, Yuyi Xuan Yue took one last look at the Sage of Six Paths and Otsutsuki Kaguya before crushing the Nine-Tomoe Crystal Ball in his hand, similar to how it was done in the original world by Uchiha Obito, causing his true body to be transported away.
In an instant, dazzling white light burst forth from the shattered crystal ball.
"Let's return to everything I've experienced. Back to the last moment." Yuyi Xuan Yue said calmly, allowing the white light to engulf him, along with the Sage of Six Paths and Otsutsuki Kaguya by his side.
After a few breaths, the white light faded, and all was calm again.
Yuyi Xuan Yue and his companions had vanished.
The Dragon Vein, too, had departed along with them.
......
The loud whistle of a train rang out, filling the air.
Yuyi Xuan Yue opened his eyes and gazed at the distant train, its white steam rising into the sky as it moved further and further away. A smile curved his lips as he returned once more.
Beside him, Otsutsuki Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths, who was possessing Naruto, also observed this world curiously, knowing full well what served as the foundation of the Tsukuyomi world.
Yuyi Xuan Yue did not give them much time to ponder.
A black teleportation portal opened before them.
As Yuyi Xuan Yue stepped through, he found himself on a chaotic battlefield, where another version of himself was waiting with closed eyes, accepting death.
It seemed like only a fleeting moment had passed.
Nothing had changed, neither people nor objects.
Hearing the disturbance, the "Yuyi Xuan Yue" who was awaiting death turned abruptly, his pupils narrowing in shock:
"You…"
Seeing the attire of his true self and the familiar black teleportation portal behind him, he immediately understood what had transpired.
However, he was perplexed as to why his counterpart had returned.
"I need to make this world indistinguishable from reality, and for that, I require a genuine anchor point." Yuyi Xuan Yue stated directly, looking at his other self.
To be precise, he was not truly a part of this world.
In order to achieve his ultimate goal, he needed an identity that was fully integrated into this world and willingly submitted to his will.
"I understand!"
The "Yuyi Xuan Yue" was initially taken aback but soon realized something, letting out a hearty laugh,
"Take everything I have and live on! You are me, and I am you! Only then can this world cease to be an illusion!"
The "Yuyi Xuan Yue" raised his head, and a beam of soul light shot out, aiming directly at the true Yuyi Xuan Yue.
His desire to turn the fake into the genuine article was not an empty promise.
If his soul could occupy the true Yuyi Xuan Yue's physical body and completely merge with it, then with the release of the Limited Tsukuyomi, when his real body returned to the real world, there was a high possibility that he could also enter the real world.
However, he had overestimated himself and lost to his true self.
But now, understanding Yuyi Xuan Yue's intentions and knowing that he would not make empty promises, the "Yuyi Xuan Yue" decisively offered everything he had to his counterpart.
Sacrificing himself to ensure that the world he had lived in for so many years, a world he had grown attached to, would no longer be affected by pebbles or meteors, was a choice he was happy to make.
Moreover, this was not truly a sacrifice.
Yuyi Xuan Yue was himself.
It was a continuation of his existence.
Carrying the hopes and expectations for this world, the "Yuyi Xuan Yue" smiled as he completely dissipated.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, having fully absorbed the identity, memories, emotions, and everything else of his other self, slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
He could sense that due to the presence of an outsider and a Six Paths-level entity, the subtle suppression this world had on him no longer existed.
A crucial piece had been added to the puzzle of victory.
And so, the final act was about to begin.
