Chapter 855: Seven Days of Creation?
Chapter 855: Seven Days of Creation?
Paradise!
It is akin to an 'alternate dimension'.
Similar to the Divine Vigor Realm and Pure Land.
It has a significant connection to the main world but is not the same space.
Just as the moon, despite being far from the Shinobi World, is still a separate space, and the Divine Vigor Realm and Pure Land, despite their convenience in accessing them, are also separate spaces.
The bottom level of the laboratory.
A light gate.
Beyond the light gate lies 'Paradise'.
Well, if it's hard to understand, you can simply think of it as the Pure Land.
With Hyuga Tsukuyuki standing guard outside, Tang Ping took a step forward.
Paradise can not only be entered from here but also from the three sacred sites, the Sky Tower. There is also a special way to enter.
This is because it is a place born from the three sacred sites.
Of course, there is a very special place in this space.
As Tang Ping approached the light gate, he suddenly formed hand seals and chanted.
"Soul Transformation Technique!"
Yes, only souls can enter this space.
Physical entities are not allowed in.
After his soul passed through the light gate, Tang Ping immediately surveyed his surroundings.
He felt a sense of connection, as if this place was a part of him.
Here, he was all-powerful.
The prerequisite was having sufficient energy.
It wasn't chakra!
In a place where only souls could enter, there was no need for chakra.
Just like the Six Paths Sage's Pure Land, Tang Ping knew without a doubt that the energy here was soul energy.
Perhaps this was also why its development had been so slow.
Tang Ping had already considered the energy issue when preparing the Heaven Project.
Faith!
This wasn't about extracting from one's body but was born from emotions and faith, making it most suitable for use in this soul-filled land.
In other words, the moment this place was born, it was destined to surpass the Pure Land.
It's not that he was stronger than the Six Paths Sage, but because he had been bathed in the information flood before crossing over, and his mind was filled with ideas, allowing him to think of these things.
Before him, the Shinobi World wasn't devoid of 'Faith Energy'.
The best example is Hidan.
His immortality was a product of faith.
It's just that the Six Paths Sage didn't care for it.
When Kaguya-sama planted the tree, these faith users were easily eliminated, so the Six Paths Sage considered Faith Energy insignificant and paid it no mind.
It was only with Tang Ping's arrival that this energy began to develop.
One could say that the previous gods were simply incompetent, not because Faith Energy lacked potential or was insufficiently powerful.
Tang Ping could harness the Faith Energy of the three Sky Towers, so he contemplated for a moment, gazing at the void before him, a space devoid of time and space concepts, and spoke as his soul entered a realm of slumber.
"Let there be light!"
Yes, he didn't want it to be like the Six Paths' Pure Land.
The Pure Land was a place of darkness and nothingness, where souls entered a state of slumber, a truly cruel place.
Of course, the Six Paths Sage's Pure Land was meant to store enough ninja souls to face crises.
In other words, he treated ninja souls as 'weapons', so his methods were justifiable.
But Tang Ping didn't see it that way; he saw souls as the foundation, so he couldn't treat them that way.
Hum!
A ray of light illuminated the surroundings, and Tang Ping felt the 'light'.
Though it still seemed empty, it was much better than before.
First, he sensed the Faith Energy.
It consumed a lot!
If this were the old days in Skyguard Tower, River Country, or Tea Country, it would take a significant amount of time to accumulate this much faith.
But now?
Water Country and Wind Country fell into his hands one after the other, and with Ghost Country, Snow Country, and other places, along with improved harvesting efficiency, the daily harvest of faith was dozens to hundreds of times more than the initial amount.
This consumption wasn't excessive.
Thus, Tang Ping felt reassured.
He had just been testing the consumption rate of faith.
"Let the heavens and earth be separated by a layer of air!"
Tang Ping created the sky and atmosphere.
The monitors of the Sky Tower also reported the decrease in faith energy reserves to their superiors.
They were joking; how could the higher-ups not know who was using it?
So, not only did no one stop him, but they also opened the door wide for him.
The Sunray Tower
"The Paradise Project... I never thought it would succeed. Tang Ping, you never disappoint me!"
Uchiha Meika gazed out the window, her eyes glistening with a mix of pride, arrogance, and reminiscence.
It wasn't just her; the higher-ups who knew about the Paradise Project all had high hopes for Paradise.
As described in the True Image Plan, this endeavor held immense benefits for them as well.
The most crucial point!
Soul Sanctuary.
It was once the Pure Land, but now it's Paradise, a place under their control. How could they not be delighted?
In the Paradise realm, Tang Ping was not idle; he continued to work diligently.
Creating Paradise according to his imagination was not a simple task; it required an enormous amount of energy.
Unfortunately, in the previous Bridging Heaven and Earth Battle, he had expended a significant amount of soul power trying to capture the Death God.
In Paradise, he could only use soul manipulation, which added immense pressure.
However, he had no choice; the current Paradise was not yet solidified, making it the best opportunity for modification. If he missed this chance, the current state of the Pure Land would serve as a stark reminder of what could have been.
Deeply rooted!
The current Pure Land, despite its power, was incredibly difficult to alter, even for the Six Paths Sage.
Otherwise, did they think he enjoyed that lifeless, pitch-black environment?
Thus, Tang Ping, despite the hardship and exhaustion, could only grit his teeth and persevere to complete his work.
As for how to modify his Paradise, there were, of course, templates to draw from... for reference (Crusader warning!).
Before his crossing, wasn't there a sect boasting about creating the world in seven days?
Even if it was fabricated, it was still a compilation of countless people's wisdom, far surpassing what he could come up with alone.
Therefore, it was only natural for Tang Ping to pay homage.
"Let the waters of the world gather in one place, revealing the dry land!"
With these words, seawater and land appeared beneath the sky.
The consumption of faith energy increased, but since Tang Ping deliberately controlled the size of Paradise, this expenditure remained within expectations.
By the way, due to the pressure on his soul, he didn't choose to complete everything at once but instead opted to change one rule at a time, resting for a day after each modification.
As promised, the seven-day creation process didn't require rushing.
So, Tang Ping began his 'brick-laying' work.
He created stars and divided day from night.
Then came birds, insects, fish... and the like.
Finally, he brought forth various plants.
As a traverser, he naturally understood the concept of the 'food chain,' so he didn't create life haphazardly.
On the seventh day, he beheld a perfect 'Paradise.'
It had a sky, land, seawater, and plants.
Birds of various kinds inhabited this idyllic place, a true sanctuary of mountains and clear waters.
The only drawback, perhaps, was its limited size.
In a chaotic space, with the faith energy he had, he could have created an environment a hundred times larger.
But now, it was at most the size of a large city.
And the only human structure was a massive shrine, predominantly dark gold, adorned with Sunray patterns and emblems.
Sunray Sovereign!
Tang Ping, his official divine title.
Of course, the people's faith couldn't be directed at Uchiha Tang Ping.
Naturally, he needed a divine pseudonym.
Just as authors have pen names, not their real names.
The benefits were his to claim, and should anything go wrong, the Sunray Sovereign would take the fall.
"Finally, it's done!"
Tang Ping exhaled.
At that moment, his soul body stood in the grand shrine, almost lifelike.
Paradise!
It could be called a second world.
And within it lay a crucial element, a lavish structure behind him resembling a swimming pool, filled with a large quantity of golden liquid—the liquefied state of faith energy.
The Reincarnation Pool, the most significant distinction from the Pure Land.
Merely having different rules and environments didn't prove Paradise and the Pure Land were different.
But the existence of the Reincarnation Pool allowed souls to 'reincarnate.'
This was something the Pure Land lacked.
The Six Paths Sage sought ninja souls to protect the Shinobi world, so naturally, he wouldn't allow ninja souls to reincarnate.
Just as he finished these preparations, a figure appeared before Tang Ping's soul body.
