She resonates completely with Natsume's power and the contractual rules of the Book of Friends!
The contract law light threads wrapped around Ban's hand instantly became a thousand times more solid!
The power of the laws of "binding" and "agreement" suddenly intensified, like billions of tough chains of law, not only binding his arms but also beginning to spread towards his Rinnegan and the core of his soul! A faint yet real sense of "stagnation" appeared for the first time in Madara's invincible power!
This slight sluggishness, which would normally be insignificant, was like a tiny grain of sand stuck in a high-speed precision gear as Ban exerted all his power to resist the backlash of the law!
"puff!"
Madara Uchiha's movements were slightly off due to this one ten-thousandth of a second of interference from the laws and the backlash of power!
His deadly grab grazed the edge of Natsume and the Book of Friends, the violent energy tearing a bottomless chasm in the ground, but it failed to actually reach its target!
"Roar!!!"
Nyanko-sensei (Madara) seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, unleashing all his demonic power without hesitation, and forcefully knocked the dying Natsume away, escaping the restraining range of Limbo's shadow!
At the same time, its massive body lunged at Madara Uchiha, attempting to buy Natsume a chance to survive with a self-destructive attack!
"court death!"
Madara Uchiha's eyes surged with murderous intent, and the anger at being toyed with by ants instantly overwhelmed his astonishment at the strange law.
With a casual wave of his other hand, the terrifying repulsive force of Shinra Tensei erupted, slamming the onrushing Nyanko-sensei deep into the earth like swatting a fly, leaving his fate unknown.
He looked down at his arm, which was wrapped in countless golden and purple threads of contractual law light, his crimson Samsara eyes filled with cold disgust and a hint of... solemnity.
He tried to mobilize stronger power to forcibly crush these chains of laws, but found that they were like maggots clinging to bones, extremely stubborn. Forcibly removing them would take time and would continuously trigger the law's repulsion and faint "noise" at the soul level that made him extremely uncomfortable.
"How dare a mere law of the lower realm corrupt my immortal body?"
Madara Uchiha's voice was like a chilling wind from the depths of hell.
He realized that this seemingly gentle world had a core law, "True Name Contract" and "Spiritual Symbiosis," whose status and purity far surpassed all the minor worlds he had conquered before. It even showed a certain "resistance" and "contamination" to the laws of the higher-level Great Luo Heavenly Court!
This Takashi Natsume, and that Book of Friends, are the core elements of this rule, the "impurities" that must be completely eliminated!
He no longer hesitated and was determined to use even greater power, even at a cost, to immediately kill Natsume, destroy the Book of Friends, and completely extinguish the source of this backlash from the laws!
The space behind him began to distort, and an even more terrifying power of vision began to brew within his eye of reincarnation.
However, just as Madara was about to unleash his thunderous attack—
"Om..."
The entire world of Natsume's Book of Friends was suddenly shaken!
It's not a physical vibration, but a fundamental tremor at the level of laws!
The dark sky, which had been obscured by the Doubu Spirit Locking Array and the Star Chariot, was forcibly opened without warning by an indescribable, irresistible will that transcended all things!
A huge, cold eye, as if made of the purest purple-gold crystal of law, slowly opened at the highest point of the sky!
This eye is so huge, it seems to cover the entire sky!
Deep within its pupils are nine slowly rotating black magatama, and beyond the magatama are layers upon layers of complex rings containing the infinite scenes of the birth and death of worlds!
Wherever the eye could see, the boiling battlefield instantly froze! The raging energy turbulence was forcibly calmed!
Even the terrifying eye technique that Madara was brewing was forcibly suppressed and quelled by this supreme will!
Time, space, laws... all became docile and respectful under the gaze of this eye.
A cold, majestic voice, seemingly the very essence of Heaven, resounded deep within the soul of every living being, carrying an undeniable sense of judgment:
"The laws of this realm are indeed unique. 'True Name Contract,' 'Spiritual Symbiosis'... can actually touch the source, triggering the lingering echo of 'Lingzi,' and defiling the power of my Doubu True God..."
That voice belonged to the Great Luo Heavenly Emperor—Uchiha Sō!
Although his physical body controls the divine tree deep within the chaotic sea, his supreme will has penetrated the world barrier and descended here!
The enormous purple-gold eye of law indifferently swept across the imprisoned battlefield below, across the dying Natsume and the Book of Friends in his arms, its light dim yet still tenacious, across the heavily injured and dying Nyanko-sensei, across the four ancient gods struggling against the gravity of Chibaku Tensei, their bodies constantly disintegrating, and finally, it landed on Uchiha Madara, whose arm was wrapped in chains of contract law and whose face was extremely pale.
"Ban, you have disappointed me."
Uchiha Enoki's voice was devoid of emotion, yet it instantly tensed Madara's body, causing him to lower his proud head.
“A mere law can backfire, leaving one feeling helpless.”
"but……"
Uchiha Eboshi's voice paused slightly, and his enormous eye of law seemed to have developed a stronger interest in Natsume Takashi and the Book of Friends in his hand.
"This child and this 'World Artifact' can actually trigger the fundamental laws of this world, generating power sufficient to briefly interfere with the immortals and gods of my Heavenly Court... Interesting. Such a unique 'sample,' along with those four remaining eternal-rank native gods, are all worthy of study."
As he spoke, the nine tomoe in the pupil of the enormous purple-gold law eye in the sky suddenly began to spin faster!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The very foundation of the entire Natsume's Book of Friends world began to shake violently!
Deep within the earth, countless thick, eerie tree roots, shimmering with dark purple runes, emerged like demonic claws reaching out from the abyss of hell, tearing through rock layers, piercing through space, and suddenly bursting through the earth's surface, appearing in every corner of the world!
These roots are thicker than when they conquered the world of One Piece, and the plundering laws they contain are even more domineering!
They greedily pierced into the earth's spiritual veins, coiling around the four ancient deities (Xuan, Shu, Sasafusa, and Tatsumi) who were resisting the Earth-Exploding Star and representing the fundamental laws of the world!
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
The four ancient gods let out painful howls as the roots of the divine tree frantically drained their source of power and their authority over the laws that connected them to the world, like bloodsuckers!
The enormous body withered and dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The core rules that constitute their existence have been forcibly stripped away and swallowed up!
At the same time, several of the thickest purple roots, like serpents, shot precisely at the heavily injured and unconscious Natsume Takashi and the Book of Friends in his arms, at the dying Nyanko-sensei (Madara) in the deep pit, and at the remaining essence of the powerful beings such as the Raijin incarnation, Mitsuno, and Hinoki who had previously perished!
They intend to capture, seal, and drag these "samples" containing the world's unique laws and powers, along with that strange Book of Friends, into the inner space of the Divine Tree!
"Do not……"
Natsume murmured unconsciously in his coma, tears mingling with blood as they streamed down his face. The Book of Friends emitted its last faint golden light, attempting to resist, but was mercilessly entangled and sealed by the purple roots.
Madara Uchiha looked at the stubborn chains of contractual laws on his arm. In the instant that the will of the Uchiha Elephant descended and the roots of the Divine Tree completely pierced the origin of the world, they quickly became dim and fragile, like water that had lost its source.
He snorted coldly, and with a powerful surge of energy, he finally shattered and annihilated it completely.
That irritating feeling of stagnation and the noise in one's soul also disappeared.
He looked up at the enormous, purple-gold eye of law in the sky that was slowly closing, knelt on one knee, and his voice regained its coldness and respect:
"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties and beg for punishment. All the unique laws and eternal beings of this world have been captured."
In the sky, Uchiha Elephant's grand will was fading, leaving only a final voice, like a divine decree, imprinted on every inch of this world and deep within the soul of every living being:
"This world is named 'Natsume's Book of Friends Sequence World, No. Dingmao 391', and its assimilation is complete."
"Its unique laws, 'True Name Contract' and 'Spiritual Symbiosis,' have been incorporated into the Divine Tree Analysis Sequence."
"All captured samples will be escorted back to the Great Luo Realm. The 'Well of Assimilation' and the 'Pool of Myriad Laws' are pending trial."
"The beings of this realm shall be dealt with in accordance with the 'Heavenly Court's Code of Assimilation into Other Realms.' Their will to resist has been extinguished, and the roots of the divine tree will reshape their spiritual veins and spread the order of the Heavenly Court."
As the words fell, the enormous crack in the sky slowly closed.
The Zhenjie Star Chariot of the Doubu began to retreat in an orderly manner, leaving behind a devastated land and a world entwined and drained by the roots of the purple divine tree like blood vessels.
The forests of Hachihara remain lush and green, but the fresh scent of grass and trees in the air has been replaced by a cold, deathly atmosphere of "order" with a faint, eerie purple glow.
The surviving, weak spirits huddled in corners, their eyes empty and numb. In human towns, people stared blankly at the disappearing giant eye and those grotesque roots in the sky, an invisible shackle already binding their souls.
The cat teacher's enormous body was bound by purple sealing rune chains and dragged into a suddenly appearing spatial vortex.
Takashi Natsume, along with the sealed Book of Friends, was gently (yet icy cold) enveloped and taken away by another root system, as if it were merely collecting a precious experimental specimen.
Madara Uchiha took one last look at the conquered land. The slight discomfort from the backlash of the laws on his arm had completely disappeared, but in his Rinnegan, the image of the boy who had triggered the laws in a desperate situation, even making him, the God of War, look a little disheveled, was deeply imprinted, as well as that seemingly ordinary booklet.
"Natsume Takashi... Book of Friends..."
Ban muttered to himself, his cold tone revealing for the first time a barely perceptible curiosity about the "special sample."
“Your Majesty is right, you... deserve a more thorough ‘study’.”
He turned around, stepped into the spatial rift, and disappeared.
The wind of Yahara, carrying the icy scent of the roots of the sacred tree, blew through the silent forest, across the blood-stained land, and over the open book that Natsume had dropped on the ground.
The book freezes on a particular page, which features a simple smiley face and a line of small print next to it: "May all encounters be beautiful."
But these words, under the cold, dim light of the heavens, appeared so pale and distant.
The seal of assimilation from the Great Luo Heavenly Court has been deeply imprinted on the core of this once gentle world.
Chapter 272, True Investiture of the Gods
The Great Luo Realm, the Pool of Ten Thousand Laws, the Core Forbidden Domain.
Uchiha Ei sat atop a throne formed from pure laws, his eyes closed, his consciousness sinking into a vast, boundless pool of water before him.
This is not real water, but the "Pool of All Laws" formed by the convergence of countless world laws that have been absorbed, analyzed and stripped away by the divine tree!
The pool water displayed a chaotic and hazy color, with countless intricate runes appearing and disappearing within it, representing the most fundamental rules and mysteries of the myriad realms.
At this moment, the central area of the source pool is boiling violently.
A dazzling mass of fundamental laws, interwoven with pure gold and warm green, struggled and pulsated as if it possessed life.
This is precisely the principle of "spiritual symbiosis" and "true name contract" extracted from the core of Natsume's Book of Friends world!
Its purity and resilience far surpass any of the laws of the minor worlds it had previously absorbed, and it even faintly carries a mysterious aura that touches upon "cause and effect" and "existence".
Around it, several faint but highly essential purple remnant souls (the core imprints of Xuan, Shu, Sasazu, and Chenwei) and a Book of Friends bound by countless chains of laws, its pages moving without wind, are like sacrifices nailed to an anvil, being continuously analyzed and refined by the power of the Source Pool.
"True name is contract, contract is bondage, bondage is authority... Spiritual connection, sharing the same origin, bondage transforms into power..."
Uchiha Zō's consciousness, like the most sophisticated instrument, dissected every thread of this unique law.
The myths and legends about the "Investiture of the Gods" from his previous life on Earth flowed through his mind.
The proclamation binds the true spirit, bestows divine positions, grants the enjoyment of the Heavenly Court's fortune, and bestows the Dao fruit of immortality... It is remarkably similar to the "True Name Contract" and "Spiritual Coexistence" of this world in the core concepts of "binding" and "connection"!
"Binding the true spirit, connecting with the Heavenly Dao, sharing the fruits of the Dao, and bestowing immortality..."
A cold smile slowly curved onto Uchiha Xiang's lips.
"Wonderful! The laws of this realm are the perfect foundation for refining the 'Investiture of the Gods' of my Great Luo Heavenly Court! With this as the guide, the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Tree as the basis, and the Pool of Myriad Laws as the furnace, we can create a supreme artifact that can truly establish the eternal order of the Heavenly Court and solidify my Great Luo Dao Fruit!"
