From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 473 Sequence 1: The Writer

This matter, from the inside out, exudes an indescribable sense of 'strangeness'!

Uchiha Muneki lowered his head, examining the pages of the book with its dark brown cover, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Would Angelweid, the previous generation's "dreamer," really be so kind as to wait in "The Travels of Grossell" to offer Him a "chance" for advancement?

It wasn't that He was suspicious; it was simply that the whole affair was completely baffling.

So weird!

Seeing that Uchiha Muneki remained silent, Angelweid seemed to have seen through his thoughts and smiled slightly, "This gift is your choice, whether you accept it or not. I will not force you to accept it."

Holding the book's cover tightly, Uchiha Munetsuki's gaze was reserved as he spoke in a seemingly ordinary tone, "Then, what if I refuse?"

"I've already said, the choice is yours."

Angelweid slightly raised his eyelids, his tone completely flat, and said calmly, "Whether you refuse or accept, it's none of my business."

This answer surprised Uchiha Munetsuki somewhat. He pondered for a moment, then asked, "What if I want to leave?"

"That's your freedom, isn't it?"

Angelweid smiled, completely unconcerned. A chair suddenly appeared behind him, and he sat down. "The door is right there. You can leave anytime."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand, indicating that Uchiha Muneki could leave at his leisure.

Uchiha Muneki looked back and, just as Angelweid had said, the bronze door was still there and had not been deliberately hidden.

Even so, He can still communicate with Adam outside of Grosser, and the connection between séances remains. Angelweid seems to have no intention of leaving Him here at all.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy He felt.

"I don't understand, what's the point of you doing this?"

Uchiha Munetsuki was puzzled and looked at Angel Verde with a questioning look, asking, "And are you really 'Angol Verde'?"

If the 'Angelowerd' before us is real, does that mean the real 'Adam' is still alive?

But if 'Adam' really alive, then what is his situation?

A deliberately cultivated substitute?

Or, as Angelweid suggests, God never died, so much so that the real Adam had some problems, which led to the creation of Him?

Then, what is He?

Suddenly, Uchiha Munetsuki fell into confusion, troubled by deep doubts.

It's as if an invisible, intangible hand has pushed Him step by step to where He is today. What is the purpose of all this?

In order to resurrect the real "Adam"?

The confusion in his thoughts directly caused hideous cracks to appear on Uchiha Munezuki's Mind Island.

"No, I can't think about it any further!"

Suddenly, he broke free from that thought and forcefully severed his distracting ideas.

If we think about it more deeply, we might lose control completely before we even figure out the 'truth'!

"Right now, you don't need to think too much."

Angelweid smiled calmly, another book appearing in his hand. He slowly said, "Just like Klein, he guessed the Celestial Venerable's plan, but what could he do?"

"Are you saying that there's no point in me pursuing the truth now?"

Uchiha Muneki covered his forehead, his vertical pupils like cracks, revealing a chilling, pale golden light.

"Only when you become half of the 'Old Days' like 'Adam' will you be qualified to understand more."

Angelweid turned the pages of his book, his gaze never leaving the pages, and said lightly, "Below the 'Old Days,' all schemes and calculations are meaningless."

After hearing this, Uchiha Munetsuki's anxious heart calmed down considerably.

Yes, He is just an angel now, not even the 'King of Angels,' so what right does He have to pursue the truth of the 'Old Days' level?

In the past, above the hierarchy, the Three Pillar Gods' schemes were so sophisticated that even a 'True God' wouldn't be qualified to participate, let alone an 'Angel' like Him.

There's no need to worry or be anxious about the distant future, to the point of getting caught up in self-torture.

Like Klein, it seems like there are choices, but in reality, there were no choices from the very beginning!

"Thank you."

With his inner conflict resolved, Uchiha Munetsuki let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Angel Verde: "I have one last question. Can you answer it?"

"Okay~"

Angelweid said calmly.

Uchiha Munetsuki's expression was serious, his pale golden vertical pupils reflecting as he slowly turned the pages of the book about Angel Verde: "Are you truly the real 'Angol Verde'?"

Angelweid's index finger paused slightly, and the act of turning the page abruptly stopped.

An eerie atmosphere enveloped the library, filled with an unsettlingly low pressure. Angel Verde, expressionless, slowly raised his head and looked at Uchiha Munezuki.

Then, under His tense gaze, the corners of his lips slightly turned up, revealing a meaningful smile, and he said in a clear voice, "You should leave."

It seemed as if he had said something, yet it also seemed as if he hadn't said anything at all. Looking at the strange, enigmatic smile on the other's face, Uchiha Muneki had a vague guess, but he didn't voice it aloud. He simply asked, "Will we... meet again?"

"No more."

Angelweid continued to lower his head and said calmly, "Soon, I will disappear completely. I will leave the Journey to Grossell to you, as will the divine kingdom of Levihild and my offspring. I hope you will treat Him well. As an aid, He should be considered passable."

"Your offspring?"

Uchiha Munetsuki was somewhat surprised, but then seemed to realize something: "The King of the North, Yurisian?"

"Of course not."

Angelweid chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Julisian is just a virtual construct; I'm referring to Erihog."

"Erihog?" Upon hearing this name, Uchiha Munetsuki paused for half a second, but quickly, relying on the powerful mental strength of the 'Audience,' he retrieved relevant information from his mind and looked at the other party with a suspicious expression: "I remember, He was replaced by your personality, right?"

He had some doubts about whether Angelweid intended to use this opportunity to break free from Grosser's control!

After all, in the original story, Erihogg's personality was replaced by Angelweid, thus achieving the goal of resurrection, so He had to be on high alert.

"Don't worry, the current Erihog has nothing to do with me anymore."

Angelweid said calmly, "Of course, you can choose not to believe and let Him remain in Grosser's Travels. The choice is yours."

"Is there anything else?"

Uchiha Muneki frowned, deciding not to let Erihog leave this world for the time being.

The other party is a Sequence Two 'Insightful One', a Sequence 'Angel' of the same level as myself, and there are still many suspicious points. I must not let my guard down.

"there is none left."

Angelweid put down the book, closed his eyes again, as if he were dozing off.

Seeing this, Uchiha Munezuki remained silent for a few seconds, then used his mental power to seal the notebook containing the "White Zetsu" once again before handing it over to the "Hidden Angel" for safekeeping.

Inside the pure white hall.

Adam remained highly vigilant, his eyes fixed on the book, "The Travels of Grosser".

On the floor of the hall, intricate and mysterious runes were inscribed in ancient Hermes, forming the 'spirit summoning ritual' used to summon angels, ready to be activated at any moment.

Suddenly, Grosser's Travels on the altar emitted a gentle white light!

The surging power of the mind stirred up a raging storm in the ocean of the subconscious, and the void of the entire pure white hall rippled with vibrations!

"It's coming!"

Adam's vertical pupils were piercing, and a terrifying power was brewing around him. Ancient and solemn dragon runes, mixed with mental power, echoed in the pure white hall.

The next moment, Uchiha Munezuki suddenly stepped out of the book, holding a book with a dark brown cover in his hand. His clear and bright light golden eyes contained a deep complexity beneath their calm surface.

Upon seeing Him, Adam remained vigilant, maintaining the operation of the Word of Power, and said in a deep voice, "I need you to prove that you have not been replaced."

His concerns were not unfounded. Before going in, Uchiha Muneki had mentioned that once he came out, it was necessary to confirm whether he had been 'replaced'!

After all, with Angelweid's power, it's not entirely impossible for him to seize His personality and take His place.

Uchiha Muneki's eyes flickered slightly, and a wisp of spiritual power emanated from him: "Now, can we be certain?"

Since Adam originated from His mind, when their minds were one, Adam could easily discern whether He had been replaced.

Sensing the power of that 'mind', Adam withdrew the surging power of his words and let out a long sigh: "Are all the problems solved?"

"solve?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Muneki inexplicably recalled Angel Verde's strange yet intriguing smile before his departure, and sighed softly, "I suppose it's resolved."

"What do you mean by 'it's resolved'?" Adam asked, somewhat confused.

"The real problem is probably more difficult than we imagine."

Uchiha Munetsuki did not tell Adam the 'truth', because even if he did, it would be meaningless and would only bring unknown trouble.

Seeing that He seemed unwilling to discuss it, Adam didn't press the matter further, instead asking, "How's the opportunity for advancement going?"

"The opportunity for promotion lies here."

Uchiha Muneki raised the book in his hand and said calmly, "A novel based on White Zetsu, it's more than enough in terms of 'rituals' in itself."

"Who gave it to you?"

Adam immediately recognized that the craftsmanship of this thing was definitely not something the original body had done.

"Angelweid".

When Uchiha Muneki said those words, there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Adam's brow twitched. Instead of asking for a deeper reason, he asked directly, "Should we use it?"

"Why not use it?"

Uchiha Munetsuki's expression was calm, mixed with an emotion that Adam couldn't understand: "Since everyone has prepared everything for me, it would be too impolite not to use it."

As Angelweid said, any conspiracy or rebellion under the old order is meaningless.

Since they've already made all the arrangements, do you think you can just run away from it?

Looking back at "Lord of Mysteries", Klein was always on a pre-arranged path, and even if he deviated from it, he would be pulled back.

Does he want to become a "Celestial Venerable"?

Of course he didn't want to; nobody wants to be promoted under those circumstances, but Klein had no choice.

Even without Klein, there would still be a number two or three. In fact, if it weren't for the help of the Goddess of Night, Little Klein would probably have been forcibly fed the "Old Days" by the "Celestial Venerable" as soon as he landed.

Since there's no escaping it anyway, I might as well accept it.

Uchiha Muneki wants to see who orchestrated all of this!

Just then, the storybook containing the "White Zetsu" began to turn its pages automatically, as if without any wind.

Splash splash~~~

The yellowed pages of the parchment book turned under the influence of some force.

At the same time, the life of the being known as "White Zetsu," and the events he experienced, are presented like a movie.

"The opportunity has arrived."

Deep within Uchiha Muneki's vertical, pale gold eyes, ripples of emotion stirred.

At this moment, He seemed to have surpassed all that had ever been before, able to see more clearly the connection between all beings and the subconscious realm, like strings on a musical instrument.

If you 'play' it in the right way, you can influence, control, and even dominate the minds of every living being through those 'strings,' making them act according to your arrangements without them even realizing it.

Amidst the complex torrent of subconscious thoughts of all beings, Uchiha Muneki used the "Story of White Zetsu" as an anchor to stabilize himself and accurately seized the "opportunity" in the torrent!

next moment.

Before Adam's astonished eyes, six wings sprouted from Uchiha Munezuki's back, radiating an incomparably dazzling light!

The ocean of the subconscious is boiling and surging. Countless drops of water from the subconscious are splashing and converging into an unparalleled raging tsunami, surrounding Him like a guardian protecting a deity. Devout and fervent thoughts surge and churn!

[Main Quest: Promotion to Sequence One: Writer!]

[Completion Ritual: Compile a book, creating a realistic world. The story must be based on tens of thousands of living beings, who will act according to your will. Ultimately, weave a fictional world that possesses real rules.]

[Reward: Audience Path Sequence 1 Extraordinary Trait + Uniqueness!]

Uchiha Muneki, now reawakened, had a deep and reserved gaze.

Carefully sensing the power he had gained after the advancement, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Omniscient, therefore omnipotent. Is this the authority of [God]?"

The Sequence Two Insightful Ones are essentially those who can perceive the 'interactions' that occur in the realms of the biological and collective unconscious, thereby exerting a more subtle influence.

Abilities similar to the realm of 'omniscience' were amplified countless times at this moment, transforming from a covert influence into control and domination!

And it can go even deeper, involving the realm of 'omniscience'!

No, that's not all!

He clearly sensed that outside the realm of 'omniscience,' a small part of the realm of 'omnipotence' was involved!

"Omniscience" corresponds to extraordinary abilities such as "everything spoken is known", "seeing the essence", and "simulating the deep subconscious".

The newly discovered realm of "omnipotence" is precisely the power displayed by Alshurst's pen: to fabricate stories and turn them into reality, and even to a certain extent, to completely ignore "logic"!

The first level of sequence is already terrifying.

If one were to advance to the 'Dreamer' level, and further incorporate the 'Sun' domain and 'Source Matter,' becoming half of the 'Old One,' how powerful would that be?!
