The two auras merged perfectly at this moment, with the human dragon energy and the pure shrine maiden's spiritual power rising up, resonating with the radiance of the divine tree and the power of the spatial passage.

"With the affairs of this realm concluded, humanity shall flourish and all spirits shall find order. The Heavenly Empress and I have achieved perfect merit and shall now return to the Great Luo."

The Emperor's clear and majestic voice, like a divine decree, resonated in the hearts of every living being.

As soon as he finished speaking, the divine tree burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light!

A staircase constructed of pure golden light extends from the top of the divine tree, plunging into the vast spatial vortex.

Emperor Kirin, Hojo Akito, took Empress Hitomi's hand and stepped onto the golden path first. Their figures appeared incomparably sacred and transcendent in the light, like an emperor and empress returning to their divine positions.

Madara Uchiha's eyes gleamed with fervor and anticipation as he followed without hesitation. The path back to the Six Paths would become even clearer after conquering this world, within the Great Luo Heavenly Court!

Minato Namikaze and Kushina, along with Naruto, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Raikage A, Sasuke, Kikyo, Ujiyasu, and others, embarked on the golden path, driven by either their yearning for a higher realm or their boundless loyalty to the Heavenly Emperor.

Their figures, watched by countless gazes filled with awe, reverence, reluctance, and longing, ascended step by step into the sky, eventually disappearing into the star-studded vortex of space.

The spatial vortex slowly contracted, and the light of the divine tree gradually dimmed, but its towering, majestic form and the lingering sacred aura were forever imprinted on this land, becoming an immortal legend.

……

The later record in the *Chronicles of the Age of Gods in Japan: Annals of Emperor Kirin* states:

"In the first year of the Emperor's reign, the Heavenly Emperor manifested his presence and gave birth to the Hojo clan, whose name was Akito. Born by the mandate of Heaven, he possessed saintly virtues. At that time, there was a chaotic world where humans and demons clashed, ghosts and monsters roamed freely, and all living beings suffered. The Emperor rose from Kanto, possessing the auspicious sign of the Kirin, and commanded divine weapons from another world (Note: i.e., ninjas), sweeping across the six directions and cleansing the eight wastelands."

Under his command was the "God of War" Madara, who descended from the heavens and annihilated the Alliance of Ten Thousand Demons with a single blow, subdued Sesshomaru of the Western Kingdom, and caused all demons to flee in terror wherever his ferocious power reached. He then established his capital in Kyoto, founded the Kirin Heavenly Dynasty, and laid the foundation for eternal peace.

The Emperor enacted the "Kirin Law," establishing a system of "coexistence between humans and demons, and order among all spirits." He collected the fragments of the Shikon Jewel and placed them beneath the Divine Tree, thus eradicating the source of all evil. The Great Priestess Kikyo purified the world of impurities; the Empress Hitomi, with her maternal virtues, bestowed blessings upon all living beings.

That winter, the divine tree pierced the sky, and a golden road appeared. The Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, along with Madara Uchiha, the Yellow Flash, Red Hot Chili Pepper, the Sannin, the Raikage, the Twin Stars (Naruto and Sasuke), and all the meritorious officials, ascended the golden light and heavenly steps amidst the worship of all spirits, rising into the celestial realm and returning to the Great Luo Heaven.

"From this day forward, the Divine Tree will forever guard Japan, and the Emperor's virtue will benefit all generations. All people, demons, gods, and spirits of Japan will know that the Great Heavenly Court reigns above, and the Kirin Emperor rules with ease. This is the beginning of the Age of Gods, a glorious age in which all spirits revere Him!"

Legend has it that on the night of the full moon, if a devout person stands under the sacred tree, they may hear faint celestial music from the heavens and feel the supreme and eternal majesty of the Great Luo Heavenly Emperor who rules over all the heavens and myriad realms—His Majesty Uchiha Sō.

Chapter 262, Arrival in the World of One Piece

"The gate to the new world has been opened. The rest is up to you, Ban. Recruit those willing to join the Great Luo Heavenly Court and bring 'fairness' to the new world..."

Uchiha Eiji analyzed the laws of the Inuyasha world and became even more powerful. Facing a new world similar to the Inuyasha world, he was able to forcibly break open a spatial gate, allowing the Heavenly Court army of the Great Luo Realm to enter.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have the most experience in conquering the world..."

"Hahaha, I'm going to the New World this time too, Madara..."

Hashirama Senju was filled with fighting spirit and eager to try.

"Hmph, under the Heavenly Court, all beings are equal; indeed, it is the best way to rule the mortal realm..."

Tobirama Senju observed that the worlds of Naruto and Inuyasha, under the rule of the Heavenly Court, were implementing his elder brother's long-held ideal of "peace."

……

The deafening shouts of battle, the roar of cannons, the clash of ice and fire, the overwhelming aura... the entire Marineford was like a boiling inferno.

Edward Newgate, the "strongest man in the world," is shaking the foundations of the Marine Headquarters with the terrifying power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit as he fights to save his beloved son, Ace.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku in his golden Buddha form, the three Admirals (Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru), the Seven Warlords of the Sea... all the top combat forces have come out in full force, and the battle is fierce and deadlocked.

Ace has been removed from the execution platform and is fighting alongside Luffy, but the death threat posed by Akainu's magma-like fists is ever-present.

Whitebeard was covered in wounds, yet he remained as strong as a pillar supporting the sky, each swing of the Murakumogiri unleashing a devastating shockwave.

Just as Akainu's "Hellhound" was about to devour Ace, who was blocking Luffy's path, and Whitebeard was preparing to fight to the death to open a final path for his sons—

"Crack..."

A deafening sound, surpassing all other deafening noises in the world, as if the entire sky had been ripped apart, drowned out all the clamor on the battlefield!

Whether it was the shouts of the naval soldiers, the roars of the pirates, the booming of cannons, or the buzzing of Whitebeard shattering space, all seemed insignificant at this moment.

Everyone, whether they were bloodthirsty pirates, well-prepared marines, or even high-ranking admirals and Shichibukai, instinctively stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky in utter horror.

Above Marineford, the sky, which had been obscured by smoke and ice, was now covered with huge, dark cracks, like fragile glass!

At the center of the rift, the phantom of a colossal tree, whose grandeur and sacredness defy description, is slowly "growing" from the distant beyond of space!

Its roots shimmer with a deep, timeless light, like the sharpest drill bit, brutally taking root in the "sky" of the red earth continent, forcefully piercing through the barrier between the two worlds!

An indescribable pressure, surpassing all things, surged out from the spatial rift like a tangible tsunami!

"Whoa—!"

"Puff! Puff!"

"What...what is this feeling?!"

On the battlefield, the weaker marines and pirates were struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, their eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, collapsing to the ground in droves, completely losing consciousness.

Even a lieutenant general-level expert felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, as if he were carrying a mountain of immense weight, making even breathing difficult!

"The sky... has cracked open?! That tree?!"

Luffy's eyes widened, his rubber chin almost hitting the ground, and he even temporarily forgot about the danger of Ace right in front of him.

His Conqueror's Haki instinct made him feel this pressure most intensely; it was a suppression from a higher dimension that far surpassed any strong person he knew!

"Are you kidding me...? This is definitely not a Devil Fruit ability!"

Akainu's magma-infused fist froze in mid-air, lava dripping down. His expression was more solemn than ever before, even carrying a hint of fear that he himself was unwilling to admit.

The pure destructive will contained within that oppressive aura made even this enforcer of "absolute justice" feel an instinctive tremor in his heart.

"Kurararara... An aura from beyond this world? This is getting more and more interesting!"

Whitebeard's hearty laughter rang out, but his eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and the veins on the back of his hand, which was tightly gripping Murakumogiri, bulged.

He sensed a threat, a tremendous threat that could overturn the entire battlefield!

The golden Buddha statue of the Warring States Marshal was filled with shock and horror: "A spacetime rift of this scale?! Unprecedented! That tree... could it be an ancient weapon? No! The aura is completely different! It's... an invader from another world?!"

His wisdom seemed powerless at that moment.

Kizaru's lewd expression vanished completely, replaced by extreme solemnity, the golden light at his fingertips flickering: "Wow~ How terrifying... This sense of oppression is even scarier than the old man's anger..."

Aokiji exuded a chilling aura that froze the nearby waves. His brows furrowed: "The barrier of the world... has been forcibly broken? Who are they?"

Hawkeye Mihawk's world's number one black sword, "Night," was already half an inch out of its sheath. His sharp eagle eyes were locked on the center of the crack. He felt an unprecedented sense of challenge, and... a trace of insignificance?

Doflamingo's signature wicked smile froze on his face, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with astonishment and twisted excitement: "F-F-F-F-F... Has a new 'god' descended? This script... is getting crazier and crazier!"

Empress Boa Hancock's beautiful face lost its arrogance, leaving only solemnity and a trace of worry for Luffy.

Blackbeard Teach's pupils constricted sharply, and for the first time, his smugness of absolute control vanished, replaced by a mixture of greed and fear: "Zehahaha... What incredible power! Is this... the power from beyond this world?! I'll get it!!"

"Om-!"

The spatial rift stabilized, and the phantom of the divine tree solidified for a moment, as if announcing its arrival to the world.

Immediately afterwards, several figures descended slowly from the deep passage like meteors, carrying a terrifying aura that could change the color of the heavens and earth.

The leader, clad in deep blue armor, with wildly flowing black hair and crimson eyes swirling with purple ripples (Rinnegan) and intricate windmill patterns (Eternal Kaleidoscope), coldly surveyed the battlefield below, which appeared as insignificant as ants.

Just by being swept by his gaze, both the naval admiral and Whitebeard felt a stinging sensation on their skin, as if their very souls had been seen through! The energy naturally emanating from his body caused the surrounding space to distort slightly, and the air beneath their feet seemed to solidify into invisible steps.

Madara Uchiha! (After eating the fruit that the Divine Tree bore in the Inuyasha world, he has recovered to the Six Paths level.)

Closely following behind was "Hashirama Senju," clad in layered red armor, with a resolute face and eyes burning with the same intense fighting spirit!

Madara's breakthrough and his desire for a new world completely ignited the long-dormant fighting spirit of this "God of Shinobi".

His life force was as vast as the sea, causing Aokiji and Jozu (who possessed the Diamond Fruit) below to feel a strong sense of oppression.

Then there's the calm, wise, sharp-eyed, and white-haired Tobirama Senju.

He was surrounded by the chilling aura of water-style ninjutsu and the profound fluctuations of space-time ninjutsu. As soon as he landed, his gaze swept over Kizaru with a hint of scrutiny and assessment.

Next up is Tsunade, with her stunning figure, blonde hair tied in a ponytail, clenched fists, and radiating boundless vitality and superhuman strength!

(Tsunade, worried about her two grandfathers, "persuaded" Uchiha Sō in the palace, leaving a contingency plan inside him, and then followed them.)

She looked down at the horrific battlefield, her brow furrowed. Her medical instincts made her uncomfortable with so many casualties, but a fighting spirit also ignited in her eyes.

Wearing an orange-red swirling mask and a black robe with red clouds, "Uchiha Obito" slowly rotated his Kamui Sharingan, scanning the battlefield with a hint of amusement and indifference, as if watching a drama that had nothing to do with him.

His gaze lingered for a moment, especially on the space-time ability users (in the direction of Kizaru and Bruno, who possessed the Door-Door Fruit).

Finally, there is "Uchiha Itachi," with a cold and stern face, deep and unfathomable eyes, and wearing a black robe with dragon patterns.

He landed calmly, seemingly without a trace of worldly concern, but the invisible mental pressure emanating from his Mangekyou Sharingan made those with weaker wills below feel dizzy and disoriented.

He immediately identified targets on the battlefield who possessed powerful mental strength or special eye techniques (such as Sengoku, Advisor Tsuru, and the Empress).

Behind them, the spatial passage remained open, and more figures exuding powerful auras could be vaguely seen gathering, like celestial warriors and elite members of Konoha's Anbu, ready to unleash their power.

Dead!

The entire Marineford battlefield fell into an unprecedented deathly silence!

The navy's cannons forgot to fire, the pirates' raised swords forgot to swing, and even the air seemed to freeze.

All eyes were focused on this group of "mysterious people" who had descended from the sky and exuded a terrifying aura like gods and demons.

Fear! Trembling! Shock! Bewilderment!

Various emotions spread across the battlefield like a plague.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku's heart sank to the bottom: the aura of each of these people was incredibly powerful!

The man in the dark blue armor at the head of the group exerted even more pressure on him than Whitebeard in his prime!

Are they enemies or friends?

What is the purpose?

The World Government's intelligence was completely unaware of this!

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates also felt immense pressure.

Marco's phoenix flames flickered violently, Jozu's diamond body tensed, and Vista's flower sword trembled slightly.

The oppressive feeling emanating from this group is all-encompassing and overwhelming!

Madara Uchiha's gaze, like a cold searchlight, slowly swept across the battlefield below, which seemed to have been paused—the enormous golden Buddha statue, the lava-encased Akainu, the frozen Aokiji, the glittering Kizaru, the wounded yet unyielding Whitebeard, Luffy and Ace desperately protecting their younger brother...

Finally, his gaze fell upon the highest point of Marineford, the Marine Headquarters fortress that represented the authority of the World Government.
