Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 284 Otsutsuki Isshiki's Time Travel

Furthermore, being a dead person, his internal power was limited, making him no match for Otsutsuki Isshiki. He was easily devoured by Otsutsuki Isshiki.

After the apocalypse, the ninja world had become a wasteland, desolate and barren, devoid of any trace of life. Otsutsuki Isshiki stood quietly in the Divine Tree with a satisfied expression, immense power surging within him.

"Haha, Uchiha Kazuto, your power will ultimately forge me into the ultimate god!"

Otsutsuki Isshiki laughed. As long as he devoured a few more ninja worlds and pushed his power to the limit, he would definitely be able to obtain enough power to crush and devour that beast Uchiha Kazuto!
Those invincible eyes, which can grow stronger simply by lying down, and whose power increases with the number of subordinates they have, are far more powerful than any divine tree.

During the battle between Uchiha Kazuto and Uchiha, he could sense that those eyes were raising Uchiha Kazuto's true limit, his level of life, rather than simply accumulating energy. Uchiha Kazuto was much better off than his Otsutsuki clan.

Can you really become stronger just by lying down? Is there really such a wonderful thing in the world?

The Otsutsuki clan still needs to travel all over the universe to find habitable planets, and each habitable planet can only allow them to strengthen themselves once. But what about the Uchiha and Touhou clans?
A life-bearing planet could provide him with continuous, permanent, and even ever-growing enhancements.

The Otsutsuki clan was still in a backward nomadic era. The only way to become stronger was to hunt, and even then, they weren't guaranteed to catch anything. But Uchiha Tou was different. He had already entered the agricultural era—no, not just agriculture, but a modern society. He could crush the Otsutsuki clan simply by collecting taxes. How could he not crave such power?

Moreover, we must remember that we are only in the early stages of the universe. The universe is incredibly vast. To this day, the Otsutsuki clan has not found the end of the universe. Who knows if there are some incredibly advanced civilizations hiding in some remote corner of the universe, and who knows when they might develop.

In a universe with hyperspace travel technology, the Dark Forest theory doesn't apply. If you jump today, someone will come knocking on your door tomorrow. Plus, the resources in the universe are theoretically infinite. You have to understand, this isn't some bubble universe.

This is a real universe, a universe spanning billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of light-years. To tiny creatures, such a vast universe is nothing more than a speck of dust in the real universe.

Only in the kind of so-called universe that is actually just a spacetime bubble with a diameter of only tens or hundreds of billions of light-years would resource conflicts occur. Such an almost infinitely large and constantly expanding universe is unlikely to have resource shortages. In fact, even such a spacetime bubble may not necessarily have resource problems.

As civilization progresses to later stages, its resource utilization efficiency increases, and in some later stages, it can even create things from nothing and extract energy from the void.

In such a resource-rich universe, when one civilization encounters another, as long as one of them is not a war-mongering type, as long as the gap between the two sides is not too large, and as long as they are clear-headed, they will generally not launch an invasion war. Instead, they will unite, and even form an interstellar alliance once there are more surrounding civilizations.

The exchange and collision between different cultures and civilizations can accelerate technological development.

Then, what is the first reaction of a normally developing civilization when it discovers the Otsutsuki clan, a civilization that is like a locust, causing life to perish wherever they go?
Is it about peaceful coexistence?

No, after discovering the Otsutsuki clan, a civilization like that of locusts, they would definitely launch a war against the Otsutsuki clan in order to protect themselves. It's like a group of modern countries suddenly discovering that there is a cannibalistic empire on Earth that eats people. Damn it, if they don't kill these heretics, why would they keep them around for trade?
What kind of trade? Is it the export of human resources?
Such heretics should be fed nuclear weapons to their heart's content.

This locust-like civilization is even different from the highly aggressive war empire civilization. After all, the latter's purpose was only to invade and conquer. Even if they became slaves, at least their civilization left behind a seed.

However, the Otsutsuki clan, a civilization like that of locusts, would devour an entire civilization without leaving even a seed.

This was something that Otsutsuki Isshiki would never have thought of. After all, he didn't have such a concept. As a powerful Otsutsuki clan member, he didn't take those so-called civilizations seriously at all, as they were using late-game locust civilizations to blast fish in the beginner's pond.

In the wasteland ninja world, Otsutsuki Isshiki stood silently before the Dragon Vein, sensing the immense energy within. In the past, he would have already drained its energy, but now…

The next moment, his power surged into it, and he directly used the Dragon Vein to teleport himself to a parallel universe, devouring, traversing, devouring, traversing. Relying on multi-layered spacetime traversal technology, Otsutsuki Isshiki's power began to grow stronger and stronger.

However, Isshiki Otsutsuki soon discovered a problem: his strength was increasing at a slower and slower pace. The energy the ninja world could provide him remained the same, but the increase in his strength was becoming smaller and smaller. In the end, after absorbing the entire ninja world, he found that his power had hardly increased at all.

Information, it's information!

The Divine Tree doesn't just devour the life energy of a planet; it also integrates all the biological information on that planet to create a Chakra Fruit. During the process of devouring, it optimizes the user's genes and strengthens the devourer's physical strength.

Chakra is essentially a fusion of spiritual energy and physical strength. The stronger the body and the stronger the spirit, the more chakra one will have. Theoretically, there is no upper limit. In fact, the chakra system does not have a mana bar; it only has a stamina bar and a spirit bar. As long as you blindly add points to these two attributes, the mana bar will continue to grow along with these two systems.

If the Divine Tree could infinitely produce Chakra Fruits and make people infinitely stronger simply by relying on energy, then the Otsutsuki clan, if they had any sense, should have been running all over the universe planting trees everywhere. Instead, they should have analyzed what life energy actually was and then converted other energies, such as solar energy, into life energy to feed the Divine Tree, thus infinitely producing Chakra Fruits. After all, the sun's energy is far greater than that of a planet.

Chakra alone cannot enable continuous evolution. Uchiha Kazuto's evolution was due to a bug. The Sharingan and the eyes of the God Tree were different; they were mutated varieties that could actively evolve under the stimulation of ocular power. Furthermore, in the subsequent evolution, in order to prevent those eyes from exploding, they were activated to the extreme under the stimulation of massive ocular power. During the evolution process, they continuously strengthened their evolutionary abilities, which ultimately enabled Uchiha Kazuto to evolve himself.

This is a characteristic of the Sharingan. In fact, even the Byakugan has this characteristic. The Otsutsuki clan on the moon used a large amount of ocular power to create a giant Tenseigan, a variant of the Byakugan.

In short, after absorbing a large amount of the ninja world, the genes of the ninja world's creatures can be said to have been completely optimized and sorted out. The God Tree's optimization of Otsutsuki Isshiki has also reached its limit. Even if it continues to absorb, it cannot become stronger.

However, Isshiki Otsutsuki didn't believe it. Uchiha Kazuto was still getting stronger and evolving, and he couldn't stop.

He didn't realize that the Sharingan gene, and the special characteristics of the Byakugan gene, were simply allowing his God Tree to devour everything, whether it was life in the ninja world or the God Tree itself.

In fact, this was one of the reasons why the Otsutsuki clan made peace between different parallel universes. After frequently devouring a planet, they would reach their limit and could not become stronger indefinitely. Otherwise, the Otsutsuki clan would probably still be fighting a super civil war in a parallel universe right now!

however……

The extraordinary power of chakra, and the super biotechnology of the Divine Tree, which may have come from a previous cosmic era, are indeed quite amazing.

Under the constant absorption, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki found that his divine tree seemed to be about to burst, and much of the absorbed energy was even undigested. However, after careful observation, he discovered that his divine tree only appeared to be unable to digest the energy; in fact, it was slowly digesting it. Furthermore, his divine tree began to undergo some special changes.

So he began to wait...

Ultimately, in some parallel universe.

"what!!!"

A piercing scream rang out, and a towering tree suddenly appeared on the planet, its countless roots spreading, climbing, and frantically devouring everything in its path. However, the scream did not come from anyone else, but from Otsutsuki Isshiki.

At this moment, Otsutsuki Isshiki's body was covered with numerous roots of the Divine Tree. His lower body had merged into the Divine Tree's body, and the pain of being devoured and torn apart echoed wildly in his soul.

"No...no, how could this happen?! No!!!"

He howled madly, trying to break free from the divine tree's restraints. He hadn't expected the divine tree to change like this. Under the influence of a large amount of planetary life energy, the power of other divine trees, his own power, and even the stimulation of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Six Paths Brothers...
