From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 418 The Road Back: Subspace!
Lu Mingze, who was visiting the 'Divine Kingdom' for the first time, was shocked by the scene before him.

A desolate and precipitous mountain range, piercing the clouds, stands tall in the distance shrouded in gray mist!
Those rolling mountains, like jagged, ugly fangs, are like a high wall built at the edge of the world, separating the ancient and mysterious world.

Looking up at the sky, the deep, dark, and mysterious ocean river resembles the rainbow bridge described in Norse mythology, stretching from one end of the sky to the other, depicting a magnificent and awe-inspiring scene!

In just a few seconds, Lu Mingze deeply understood what a true 'god' was!
In comparison, Nidhogg, the former Black King, whose eternal throne was forged from icebergs, seemed somewhat primitive in comparison.

Deeply shocked by the scene before him, Lu Mingze became even more determined in his heart.

"Following Mr. Adam, we will surely find the 'Secret Order' and the group that stole my power!"

Lu Mingze took a deep breath and then quietly clenched his fist.

But a moment later, when he arrived directly below that dark mountain range, he finally realized that there was a very serious problem for him at this stage!

How is he supposed to climb such a high mountain?
Looking up at the main peak that almost pierced the clouds, Lu Mingze fell into deep thought.

The steep mountain wall, with an incline of nearly ninety degrees, had no steps, and climbing was clearly out of the question, which put him in a real predicament.

Just then, an elderly man with gray hair, dressed in a floral shirt and wooden clogs, looking as if he had just returned from a beach vacation, exuding an aura that seemed completely out of place, took off his sunglasses, looked him up and down a few times, and said, "Lu Mingze?"

"you are?"

Lu Mingze looked at the old man and felt a sense of familiarity.

"Some people used to call me the last movie king, Uesugi Kotsu."

The old man grinned, his face full of wrinkles, and said, "As for now, I've retired. I'm considered a follower of Mr. 'Adam,' and I'll be responsible for guiding you to the 'Temple.'"

The last movie star?

This title made Lu Mingze pause for a moment.

But soon he guessed what had happened and cautiously asked, "Was it Mr. 'Adam' who changed your fate?"

In the original timeline, the last Shadow Emperor, Uesugi Koshi, should have been fighting alone against the overwhelming tide of corpses on the artificial island of Firefly in Tokyo Bay, buying time for Angers, Chu Zihang, and Caesar to detonate the alchemical sulfur bomb, and ultimately dying from exhaustion.

This is also recorded in the academic archives of Kassel.

But now it seems that this is clearly not true.

"Well, thanks to Mr. 'Adam' for valuing me, this old man is of some use after all."

Uesugi Koshi didn't mince words. He nodded and said, "After dying in the Battle of Tokyo Bay, I was resurrected by Mr. 'Adam' and have now become one of His chosen ones."

Lu Mingze, the one who was being pursued, was somewhat tempted, his eyes brightening slightly.

As the name suggests, "beloved" refers to the divine bestowal and recognition upon those who have shown profound faith. Becoming a beloved means that faith in and service to the divine becomes an absolute obligation, and the various blessings and assistance bestowed upon beloved are gifts in return for their faith!

The relationship between deities and their followers is one of mutual benefit, and they are also more closely connected.

After all, being a follower means being able to get closer to Mr. Adam, and in some ways, being his closest person!

"Haha, there's no need to envy me."

Uesugi stroked his beard and chuckled, "Although I am a member of the Familiar, your status as a member of the Twilight Hermits is not low."

“I hope that one day I can also gain Mr. Adam’s approval.” Lu Mingze smiled, unable to hide the envy in his eyes.

Only those highly recognized by the gods can call themselves "favored ones," which is an unparalleled honor!
In particular, after witnessing Mr. Adam's lone struggle against those terrifying beings deep in space to protect Earth, Lu Mingze became even more convinced of, or rather, more trusting of, him.

"Alright, let's end this chat time here."

Uesugi Kotsushi said with a smile, "Let's hurry up and go up, don't keep Mr. 'Adam' waiting."

"it is good."

Lu Mingze nodded.

As Uesugi Koshi whispered a prayer, establishing a spiritual connection, a beam of light descended from the sky.

A moment later, the light faded, and Lu Mingze opened his eyes to see the imposing, magnificent, and ancient Church of Bones.

Despite having seen it several times, he was still deeply shocked. The ancient church, built from the remains of countless creatures, exuded an extremely mysterious aura. The mottled marks on the outer walls seemed to have endured countless years, and a sense of vicissitudes that transcended eternity rushed towards him.

After a moment, Lu Mingze came to his senses, faced the old man, and showed a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, every time I see this church, I feel a deep sense of awe."

“It’s alright, I understand.” Uesugi Kotsuki smiled slightly, then said, “Hurry up and go in, Mr. ‘Adam’ has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Without further hesitation, Lu Mingze thanked Uesugi Yue, took a deep breath, and stepped into the sacred and ancient church.

He understood that taking this step would mean saying goodbye to the world he had lived in for good.

As for when he will return, perhaps we can only wait for fate.

"By the way, you haven't seen Mr. 'Adam' very often, so there's something I need to remind you of." Suddenly, Uesugi Yue called out to Lu Mingze, who was about to leave, with a serious expression.

"please say."

Lu Mingze acted very modestly.

Although he's a little devil, he's very clear about his role.

When you lack strength, any provocation or show-off behavior will only lead to disastrous consequences!

He's just arrogant, but not stupid.

Uesugi Kotsushi was very satisfied with his attitude and smiled, "Remember, never look directly at God."

Should we not look directly at God?
Lu Mingze was slightly taken aback. Although he could understand the literal meaning, he had clearly seen "Mr. Adam" many times before.

However, Uesugi Kotsugu disappeared into the glow without offering any further explanation.

Filled with questions, Lu Mingze decided to stop thinking about them, gazing at the distant sky and silently bidding farewell:

Goodbye, brother.

As Lu Mingze passed through the arched gate of the church, a familiar scene came into view.

A mottled bronze table, bronze chairs on either side, and a hazy figure on the head seat.

"Welcome back, Lu Mingze."

Uchiha Muneki's voice was soft, but it contained an undeniable air of authority.

“Mr. Adam, I’m glad you’ve allowed me to join the Twilight Hermits.”

Lu Mingze was very agitated, and for a moment he even forgot Uesugi Yue's reminder and looked up directly at the figure in the head seat.

In the light and shadow that seemed to gather the images of countless living beings, only those eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, like the dawn illuminating the night, or like the eternal sun.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Mingze's mind went completely blank.

How magnificent and dazzling! No words in the world can describe those eyes. They seemed to encompass all things in the universe, and contained the vast and boundless starry sky. In an instant, Lu Mingze was deeply immersed in them. The boundless ocean formed by all living beings swept over him with astonishing energy, directly engulfing his consciousness!
A vast sea of ​​thoughts and ideas dragged his consciousness into a downward spiral!

No! No!
Lu Mingze wanted to struggle, but his resistance was futile in the face of the consciousness of all living beings.

Just like a drop of water merging into the ocean, it is easily and completely swallowed up without even causing a ripple.

thump.

The hazy figure on the head seat tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

Immersed in the myriad phenomena of life, Lu Mingze felt a ripple in his mind the moment he heard the sound, which awakened him from those bizarre dreams.

In an instant, the boy's back was soaked with cold sweat, and his pupils revealed a look of shock and horror.

He only glanced into Mr. Adam's eyes, and was immediately plunged into an almost real dream, as if swimming in a vast ocean of all living beings, almost losing himself completely!
"Never look directly at God." Lu Mingze finally understood the profound meaning of this sentence.

Even a gaze from Mr. Adam, who meant no harm, devoid of any power, would be absolutely unbearable for a mortal!

It has nothing to do with good or evil, it's just that our lives are at different levels across dimensions!
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Adam!"

Having been taught a lesson and deeply experiencing the terror, Lu Mingze immediately lowered his head, no longer daring to look directly at the 'god'.

"It's alright, it was my oversight."

Uchiha Muneki forgave his rudeness, restrained his power even more, and said softly, "Forget that at your current level, you are not even able to withstand my gaze."

Having just been promoted to Sequence Two, the weight of the 'Angel' rank far exceeded that of the 'Saint,' causing Him to overlook this point, but fortunately, it did not lead to a major mistake.

Looking at the reserved Lu Mingze, Uchiha Muneki chuckled and said, "Sit down, child."

child?

This title made Lu Mingze's expression somewhat strange.

Well, since the person on the other side is a genuine 'deity,' calling him 'child' isn't wrong in terms of age.

But looking at the twenty-two chairs, he scratched his head: "Uh, Mr. Adam, where should I sit?"

"There were six people here who, like you, joined the Twilight Hermitage."

As Uchiha Munezuki finished speaking, faint lights appeared on the seats that indicated people were there, and six figures appeared one after another: "Due to certain special reasons, they are in another world. We will go to another world to find them later."

Sure enough, it was pretty much as he had guessed.

Lu Mingze decisively chose a chair, sat down, and obediently asked, "Mr. Adam, are we ready to go?"

A hint of excitement shone in his eyes; he wondered what the other worlds were like!

"Are you excited?"

Uchiha Muneki asked with great interest.

"Yes, Mr. Adam,"

Lu Mingze grinned, displaying a devilish charm, and said, "After all, it's a world I've never known before!"

"It's not necessarily true that I've never known."

Uchiha Muneki rested one hand on his cheek and said meaningfully, "Perhaps you are very familiar with that world, who knows?"

"what?"

Lu Mingze opened his eyes wide, puzzled.

"It's okay, you'll find out soon."

Uchiha Muneki smiled but did not continue to explain.

He was really looking forward to seeing what kind of interesting sparks the little devil Lu Mingze would create with the Naruto world!
"It's time to go."

At this moment, as if sensing something, He looked up at the vast and brilliant starry sky and said softly, "Hold on tight, the journey will not be smooth sailing."

Holding the '0-62 Star Staff', Adam carefully and meticulously sketched out the 'moon' of the Naruto world in his mind.

This time, he has plenty of time and there is absolutely no chance of a 'mistake'!
Well, at least in theory, there shouldn't be any problems.

The black gemstone set at the top of the cane is gradually illuminated by the twinkling stars as the scene it depicts becomes more and more realistic.

Even a glance from Mr. Adam, who meant no harm, was unbearable for him.

A flicker of fear crossed his eyes: "Thank you, Mr. 'Adam,' for waking me up in time; otherwise, I fear I would have been lost forever!"

The Nibelungen region where the temple was located was moved by the 0-62 Star Staff to another strange space.

Uchiha Muneki's gaze pierced through the Nibelungen Domain, looking out at the countless negative emotions surging within, filled with chaotic and evil power, constantly churning into giant waves, as if a space formed by countless colors splashed on the soul. His eyes were filled with pure spiritual power.

Evil whispers lingered in this chaotic space.

As if sensing His presence, those soul projections, a mixture of negative emotions and the source of evil, revealed greed and longing.

"Subspace?"

Uchiha Muneki frowned slightly, a bold guess popping into his head.

The ocean of souls surging, and the space filled with chaotic evil that tramples and destroys order and rules—as far as he knew, there was only the 'subspace'!

"This is a big problem."

Adam, who was outside, naturally noticed the covetousness of those evil projections.

He frowned slightly, and without hesitation used the power of the '0-62' Star Staff again to take Nibelungen out of here.

After all, the danger of this place is far greater than what you see.

Who knows if if we stay any longer, some 'golden giant' might suddenly lead a bunch of muscular hunks, tear through the Nibelungen territory, and break in?

Warp space is great, but not now!
Once again, the 0-62 Star Staff carried Nibelungen away from this bizarre and chaotic space.

However, before leaving, Uchiha Munetsuki deliberately separated a virtual personality.

This virtual personality has no memories, like a blank soul, and in the vast, evil space, it is as insignificant as a drop of water.

Then, this drop of 'water' quietly disappeared, streaked across 'subspace', and fell toward a planet.

"Hopefully, there will be gains in the future."

Uchiha Munezuki's pale golden eyes watched the planet where the 'droplet' fell.

He hopes that this 'seed' that has been planted will take root and sprout in this world, and then play its due role at some point in the future.
