Konoha's Mission Master

"I choose to leave," Yakumo thought to himself again.

He didn't care if there was a conspiracy behind it, or whose scheme it was; he just wanted to go home.

The blurred text disappeared again.

About fifteen minutes later, the text reappeared.

Congratulations on your successful conversion to Christ, becoming a Lord without cause.

Suddenly, memories of causelessness welled up in Yakumo's mind, from their birth in a cosmic annihilation, to their growth through countless cosmic cycles of absorbing primal power, and finally becoming one of the ultimate forces of the universe.

The end of the ordered universe is defined as causeless.

Its conditions for recognizing a master are very simple.

A life that yearns to acknowledge God will be consumed, while one who rejects causelessness can become the master of causelessness.

Over the long years, many powerful individuals have found traces of Wuyin and begun the process of recognizing him as their master. When faced with the prospect of gaining Wuyin's power after 50,000 years of slumber, everyone chose... yes.

Those people thus became unnecessarily nourished.

Only by refusing can you gain.

The power of causelessness completely merged into Yakumo's soul, and from then on the two became inseparable. At the same time, another power of causelessness began to construct Yakumo's body.

The power of causelessness excels at destruction rather than creation, and is also a transcendent being in the universe. This means that Yakumo has lost the ability to give birth to life, because the power of causelessness cannot simulate creation...

The good news is... Masako Mori was already pregnant before they parted ways.

Yakumo's thought at the time was simple: if she was going to die, then let the child be the reason and motivation for Mori Masako to live, after all, women are weak but mothers are strong.

Looking back now, what I did back then was actually a brilliant move.

The characteristics of ethereal energy are devouring and chaos, while the characteristics of hope are redemption and creation.

The only characteristic of causelessness is transcendence.

The Lord of No Cause is immune to attacks below the level of Dominator, and can even gain the upper hand against attacks from other Dominators. Furthermore, the Lord is of a higher rank than other ultimate powers. This is the Transcendent One.

The downside is that it has a single attribute and lacks the versatile characteristics of like and ethereal energy. It cannot be transferred to others like the power of hope, nor can it spread infinitely like ethereal energy.

Without cause, great power is bestowed upon oneself, and one person is the master, thus one's status is half a step higher than that of other masters.

It took half an hour for Yakumo to perfectly inherit the power of causelessness.

A simple wave, then a step forward.

Yakumo has appeared in the vast starry sky, surrounded by stars that shimmer with silver light. The massive star recklessly radiates light and heat, as well as high-temperature energy pulses.

But the pulse that was powerful enough to destroy a planet could not shake Yakumo, as if a gentle breeze were brushing against his face.

With the power of dominion and the assistance of the power of causelessness, Yakumo instantly understood the whole story. That door was Aoki's backup plan for resurrection, connecting to a world affected by the void energy.

When that door existed, no one could locate that continent, and naturally no one could sever the trajectory of Aoki Trump's resurrection. But as the door was severed, the coordinates of that world were exposed.

This is Runyu's goal: to completely sever the path to Aoki Trump's resurrection, preventing him from returning.

In addition, Yakumo discovered that there was a wisp of Aoyama Reiko's soul inside the Ring of the Sky Emperor. If it is nurtured with the power of hope, it will take about ten years to revive Aoyama Reiko.

This was Runyu's backup plan, and also an explanation to Yakumo.

Furthermore, with the awakening of those long-buried memories, Yakumo also learned the origin of the Prayer Planet.

After completing the original instance, his soul was about to return. He then embedded all the foundations of his creation into the Earth's core, creating entirely new plant life. Furthermore, he left several ironclad rules deep within his soul at the very beginning of his creation.

Of course, Inori follows in Yakumo's footsteps simply because of the dependence she develops on the creator upon waking up, much like a newborn beast naturally develops a strange fondness for the first creature it sees upon opening its eyes.

Yakumo had only one question in his mind: the power of causelessness did not kill Zen Aoki Chuppu. His soul was forcibly transferred before being devoured by the power of causelessness, which was a contradiction.

Based on the connection between their bloodlines, he quickly confirmed Mori Masako's location.

They moved directly using the power of nothingness, and the distance between them became closer and closer.

The Yakumo Residence in the Ninja World.

Mori Masako stared at the empty bedroom and suddenly felt a pang of fear. She seemed to sense something, and then sat blankly on the edge of the bed, her expression becoming very wooden, as if she had lost everything in a very short time.

She had anticipated this outcome even before the day actually happened.

Half an hour later, Masako Mori stroked her flat stomach, her face softening with tenderness. She got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while the fat black and white cat on the sofa was meowing carelessly.

The smell of charred meat gradually wafted out of the kitchen. Mori Masako gnawed on the burnt meat, her eyes reddening, and tears the size of peas fell continuously, shattering into plum blossom-like water stains on the marble table.

She wasn't absolutely heartbroken; she simply wanted to release the emotions pent up inside by crying. Even though she had made many preparations for the separation, sadness overwhelmed her like a torrent, destroying all the mental defenses she had built up beforehand.

The true sorrow of parting is a powerful force that even the strongest defenses cannot withstand.

"Turns out, I'm a really bad cook."

Mori Masako lived alone for more than half a year, gradually getting used to being alone, and moved the sleeping Yukotsu Chiyuki to her home.

Minato Namikaze from Konoha also noticed Masako Mori's return, but no one dared to come to her door.

Six months later, the space in front of Mori Masako suddenly cracked open, and she saw a pure black space where countless spatial turbulence seemed to destroy everything.

Deep within the spatial turbulence, a figure was approaching from a great distance. Before him, the raging spatial turbulence became as docile as a sheep. It was a slender and tall figure with dark, unruly eyes beneath his black, tousled hair, filled with joy.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Yakumo hugged Mori Masako tightly...

New book announcement: Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) genre.

Twenty years later, Runyu invited Yakumo to explore the origin of the ethereal energy.

The two tore open space and set off, flying through the void for two days and two nights before finally reaching the origin of the void energy. It was a blood-red continent floating in the void, constantly drawing worlds from the void to devour them.

In the distant void of the Crimson Continent stood a figure dressed in a gray Taoist robe. He looked to be around thirty years old, but one could easily forget his appearance, as if he had been affected by some unknown force.

The gray-robed Taoist exuded boundless vitality, with a faint, hidden light emanating from his body.

Beneath their feet floated a mountain peak about 30,000 meters high. Although the fluctuations emanating from this mountain were restrained, they still made Yakumo and Runyu feel a slight sense of threat.

Yakumo and Runyu exchanged a glance and nodded to each other. The person in front of them was also a Sovereign-level powerhouse.

The two slowly flew towards the gray-robed Taoist. The man casually pressed the gray gourd at his waist, turned around, and smiled at the two.

"This humble Taoist priest, Zhao Kuangyin, has met two fellow Taoists."

Yakumo and Runyu exchanged a glance and then spoke one after the other.

"I am Ying Zheng."

"I am Li Shimin."

The three exchanged glances, each gaining a sudden understanding.

"Haha, I am Zhao Zhuo, Zhao as in Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhuo as in carving."
