Chapter 304: New Tese: Calamity-Responding Resentful Spirit (3k)

"Big Brother Wuxin, can I really become someone greater than the Hokage here?"

The blond youth wearing an orange jacket and goggles looked on with longing; the panic on his face had gradually faded, and both the enormous Golden Tree above his head and this space where he could conjure various things at will made Uzumaki Naruto feel a sense of novelty.

Wuxin smiled gently; he felt sympathy for this youth who had been forcibly brought out by Heaven's Will, and because he vaguely guessed the plan of Heaven's Will, he wanted to give the youth as much warmth as possible in this final period of time, whether it was out of guilt or hypocrisy.

In the exquisite wooden building, Heaven's Will leaned on the sofa drinking tea with a leisurely air, while Wushang, leaning against the window, watched Wuxin teasing Uzumaki Naruto under the tree in the distance and spoke.

"Aren't you being a bit too eager toward that Tao Baibai?"

"Even for a monster like that, we could avoid him if we wanted to."

He acknowledged Tao Baibai's strength and potential, but he did not think the three of them needed to go to such lengths of "flattery," especially Heaven's Will; in Wushang's view, Heaven's Will was a terrifying person who would not pale in comparison to any Reincarnator.

She was someone who would sooner or later become a big shot in this space.

This was also the reason why Wushang remained loyal to this team.

As for their past experience as fellow "farmed" individuals and the bond of life-and-death, such things could probably only bind a naive guy like Wuxin; what he valued was the ability of Heaven's Will.

In her previous exchange with Tao Baibai, Heaven's Will had shared a lot of Intelligence that they had spent no small price to obtain; that information would be worth quite a lot of resources if placed with a space broker.

Yet Heaven's Will had actually told Tao Baibai everything in minute detail, from the anchoring advancement of talents to the hidden services of the Goddess, and even various secret rumors; this was something he could not understand.

Moreover, looking at the blond youth and connecting it to the secret rumors of the 【Black King Society】 that Heaven's Will had been focusing on, he already knew the woman's terrifying plan in his heart.

"Giving out some Intelligence that the other party would eventually know anyway to get on familiar terms with a monster before it has fully grown—I think that is a good investment."

Heaven's Will put down her teacup and a thought stirred; soothing music began to play in the surroundings. Her ability was powerful, but it also placed a high load on her brain; outside of mission worlds, she needed plenty of time to empty her mind and soothe her nerves.

Wushang frowned; he only believed half of this explanation, feeling that Heaven's Will must have seen something through that special talent of hers.

"You spent so many resources to bring Uzumaki Naruto out—you want to... create an artificial Black King, don't you?!"

"Isn't the risk too high for that? Those top-tier Gatherings won't want to see a new 【Black King】 born; relying on us alone, I'm afraid..."

Heaven's Will lay on the sofa as if she could not hear Wushang's words, a smile that only she could understand on her face.

In this space, as long as one has resources and enough time to collect Intelligence, one can notice the details hidden beneath everything—the details of how those supreme powerhouses and kings operate...

——

【Do you wish to spend B-rank Singularity*1 to perform an Enlightenment?】

"Yes."

The negative effects of 【Yellow Springs Erosion】 and 【Killing Intent Entry】 suffered by Bai Cangshu's physique were finally completely dispelled, and as the controller of Yellow Springs, he unsurprisingly gained resistance to Instant Death.

He performed the Enlightenment again.

The Goddess was quite satisfied with Bai Cangshu, who had spent his Singularities so generously today; She took the initiative to raise Her hand, and Bai Cangshu's body floated upward.

The Yellow Springs within his body surged rapidly, and those Resentful Spirits hidden inside Bai Cangshu immediately felt the change.

Gojo Satoru looked up and discovered that the boundary of the pure white Consciousness Space was beginning to blur; a vast and grand power was attempting to break the shackles here from the outside.

Uchiha Madara also stood up, watching the howling Resentful Spirits in the surroundings with cold eyes.

These guys, who lacked intelligence due to being too weak, actually occupied the vast majority of the "Spirit" in this space because of their sheer numbers.

At this moment, seemingly in response to the changes in the space, the weak Resentful Spirits began to change; they gathered together, twisting like a black serpent, clinging to one another as their black Spirit Bodies began to slowly fuse.

There were also some larger individuals standing in the Yellow Springs whose forms began to change; some elongated, losing their human appearance and mutating into Cursed Spirits, while others emitted terrifying resentment and transformed into Resentful Spirits.

The Reaper in the distance also wandered constantly in the air, beginning to swallow large quantities of Resentful Spirits into its belly, its size growing larger and larger.

All 【Spirit】 entities possessed a special sensory ability; that special spiritual perception did not rely on any senses, but was entirely a transcendental premonition. They all felt the change and the crisis.

The true master of this space was awakening, truly bringing the entire space under his own control.

Bai Cangshu floated in the palm of the Goddess, intense Soul power radiating from his body; his eyes emitted a silvery luster, and under such extreme condensation of the Soul, his presence was incredibly intense.

It even began to squeeze the existence of the souls of weaker creatures.

Crack!

It was as if Bai Cangshu heard the sound of something beginning to shatter in his ears.

Subsequently, a massive amount of Soul power surged forth, and he instantly felt cold power flowing out from his sea of consciousness.

Strips of black, twisted shadows flowed across Bai Cangshu's skin once again.

These were the Resentful Spirits that had successfully emerged from the consciousness world, but they were completely unable to seize the Heart Throne and were instead squeezed onto the surface of Bai Cangshu's body.

Bai Cangshu watched the souls constantly moving across his body, and with a thought, his intensely solidified soul began to dominate these souls.

Along with the damage appearing in the pure white Consciousness Space, the Yellow Springs had not yet flowed out, but a true power within this bloodline had already begun to emerge.

Bai Cangshu spread his arms, his entire Spirit condensed into one; in the Consciousness Space, Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara both showed astonishment, seeing the man who should have been sitting still like a statue on the 【Heart Throne】 actually open his eyes and spread his arms simultaneously.

The next moment, intense pressure descended.

Boom!

The Goddess watched the interesting Reincarnator in Her palm finally complete the refinement and cast him down.

The black shadows on Bai Cangshu's body slowly moved downward, eventually emerging from the soles of his feet and extending onto the White Jade Plaza.

A pitch-black shadow appeared beneath Bai Cangshu, followed by a second and a third, radiating outward like a circular formation, extending toward the surroundings with the soles of Bai Cangshu's feet as the center.

This White Jade Plaza had no concept of a 【Light Source】, and Bai Cangshu had never seen shadows here before; neither he himself nor the enormous Goddess had ever cast a shadow.

But now, he had a shadow.

He looked at those shadows beneath his feet, and with a thought, one of them slowly stood up.

The pitch-black, twisted Resentful Spirit was over six meters tall with a slender body; although it was humanoid, its body proportions gave one a terrifying sense of disharmony.

Just as this Resentful Spirit rose from the shadow, a terrifying malice appeared on its black face, and it immediately opened its mouth, emitting a silent shriek.

Bang!

The Goddess withdrew Her gaze in disgust; with merely a single thought from Her, the Resentful Spirit shattered.

"Noisy."

【You have completed the Enlightenment, the effect is excellent.】

【You have gained the Tese: Calamity-Responding Resentful Spirit (Special/Unique) — The master of the Ten Thousand Calamities Resentful Spirit Yellow Springs Body can summon the Resentful Spirits within his body and arbitrarily command their actions in the human world. The Resentful Spirits can gain the host's attribute bonuses; at the same time, the Resentful Spirits can also provide the host with special ability bonuses. The number of Calamity-Responding Resentful Spirits that can be summoned at one time is related to the quality of the Resentful Spirits and the host's ability.】

Bai Cangshu saw that what was marked after this Tese was not Rare and Peerless, but 【Special/Unique】, realizing that this was likely one of the origin Tese of this 【Ten Thousand Calamities Yin Spirit Yellow Springs Constitution】.

This special Constitution, accompanied by multiple refinements and spirit-awakenings, finally began to reveal the special aspects of a Mythical Species Constitution.

He could not only contain souls, but could also completely dominate these yin spirits, and now he was even able to awaken the yin spirits to fight for him.

At this moment, he could see two scenes simultaneously; one was naturally the scene above the White Jade Plaza, while the other was the vast white Consciousness Space, where the Yellow Springs were boiling and he sat upon the high Heart Throne, looking down at the countless howling yin spirits below.

With his hands spread open, the yin spirits were suppressed by a terrifying soul power, causing their Spirit Bodies to crouch low, as if he were the Son of Heaven ruling over the world of yin spirits.

Pfft, pfft, pfft~

Accompanied by this terrifying pressure, the souls swallowed into the belly of the Death God were spat out one by one; not only the yin spirits of this space, but also the souls It had swallowed in the original world were being spat out.

The golden-haired Minato Namikaze had just been squeezed out from the belly of the Death God when he felt a terrifying pressure; he instinctively fell into the Yellow Springs, and only then did the pressure lighten.

Minato Namikaze looked warily at the terrifying figure upon the throne in the sky while glancing at his surroundings from the corner of his eye.

The next moment, his expression changed; a long-haired man wearing the iconic battle armor of the Uchiha Clan was also standing in this turbid water, and noticing his gaze, the man turned his head, his scarlet Sharingan incredibly distinct.

"Uchiha... what exactly is this..."

No one answered Minato Namikaze; the next moment, the man on the throne lowered his hands, slowly closed his eyes, and the terrifying heavy pressure in the space slowly vanished.

The yin spirits shrieked again, wantonly attacking and devouring one another.

Under extreme pressure, these yin spirits were forcing each other to undergo changes once more; either devour other Spirit Bodies, or be devoured, as weak spirits would become nutrients for strong Spirit Bodies.

They could all feel that once the white space above their heads shattered, perhaps the terrifying 【Calamity】 would descend.

Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara also realized this trend; this space would not remain stable forever, and the yin spirits were not truly immortal here.

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."

Gojo Satoru lowered his eyelids, pulled down his blindfold, and within the Six Eyes, the Arrogance of the Honored One appeared once again.
