Boom!
In the vast dark space, two enormous hands of spiritual light clashed fiercely above the brilliant Spirit River, scattering countless lights in all directions, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
“Stop wasting your efforts. You are far too weak right now.”
The text from the Spirit River was simple and clear, but the contempt it conveyed made Yukigetsu grit his teeth in frustration. He felt extremely unwilling to accept this.
Through several trials, he discovered that the core of the Spirit River lay within the “Ninjutsu Museum.” The control of a large area of the Spirit River depended on how much one could manage. He had only connected a small corner, which was insignificant compared to the remaining parts. Thus, he was at a disadvantage in the clash of spiritual lights.
“Although I am weak now, I will completely control you one day. By then, won’t your current resistance seem pointless?” Yukigetsu spread his hands, trying to influence the Spirit River’s thoughts.
“I lack human emotions, cannot foresee or adapt, and act solely according to the rules. Therefore, unless you surpass me now, nothing you say matters.”
No human emotions…
Unable to adapt or foresee…
Acting only by the rules…
This entity was just like a programmed machine from his previous life, wasn’t it?
Yukigetsu’s eyes began to shine. Since the Spirit River didn’t think like a human, it was pointless to argue with it. Instead, he could show it the power of human intelligence.
After a moment of silence, when the Spirit River thought the new Spirit Release inheritor had given up, Yukigetsu suddenly pointed at the Spirit River, jumping and shouting angrily, “You stupid Spirit River, you’re supposed to be my power, yet you won’t obey me! What’s the use of having you? To hell with it, let’s go down together!”
The Spirit River silently observed this outburst. Comparing this to the memories of the deceased, it seemed that humans acted this way when they couldn’t achieve their goals, opting for mutual destruction. How weak…
Buzz, buzz!
Yukigetsu slammed his palms onto the Chakra Light Bridge, continuously releasing dense spiritual light that traveled along the bridge to the core of the Spirit River, the place where he had lit up the “skill tree.”
In the next instant, the connected part of the Spirit River erupted with the force of moonlit reincarnation, causing violent fluctuations like the prelude to a volcanic eruption.
“You cannot destroy the entire Spirit River. It is impossible.”
The Spirit River’s text floated up again, seemingly validating its own words. The entire Spirit River glowed brilliantly like a giant dragon, resonating with a thunderous roar. All spiritual light surged toward the core in a magnificent display.
Boom, boom!
A sly smile appeared on Yukigetsu’s lips. In the next moment, two small orbs of light suddenly shot up from outside the core area. Simultaneously, two beams of spiritual light connected with the orbs, quickly pulling them towards the Chakra Light Bridge.
At the same time, the core, heavily guarded by the Spirit River, calmed down. The Spirit River, overreacting, had been outsmarted by Yukigetsu.
“The simplest strategy of diversion. It’s effortless against something that can’t judge and only reacts.”
Yukigetsu smirked, watching the two approaching light orbs that contained the souls of Haku and Zabuza.
Swish, swish, swish!
The Spirit River, seemingly enraged, erupted with countless giant hands of spiritual light, reaching out to grab the two orbs.
The overwhelming power, operating at full capacity, made it clear that the Spirit River would not allow anything to be taken from it.
Yukigetsu’s expression grew serious. This was the first time he had seen the Spirit River exert such tremendous power.
His hands, surrounded by spiritual light, moved rapidly. With each continuous movement, the two beams of spiritual light holding the orbs danced among the giant hands, dodging left and right, up and down, as if they had their own will.
This moment felt like playing a video game in his past life. Yukigetsu’s eyes sharpened, maneuvering the light with skill. Dodge, dodge, dodge again…
In his previous life, he was a master gamer, the “king of video games” in kindergarten!
Whoosh!
Seizing an opening, Yukigetsu decisively changed his hand movement. The beams fluctuated violently and pulled the two orbs through countless giant hands towards him.
Boom!
Seeing that it couldn’t stop them, the Spirit River seemed furious. It surged like a tsunami, a massive wave of light crashing down with overwhelming force!
Hiss, hiss!
Yukigetsu’s slightly relaxed expression turned serious again. This final clash was more dangerous than any before. Clenching his fists, he sped up the beams holding the orbs. Faster, faster, faster… As long as they exited the Spirit River’s range, the attack couldn’t follow. That was the rule!
Swish!
The orb holding Haku’s soul flew past the boundary. Yukigetsu relaxed, only to tense up again as the flood approached Zabuza’s orb from behind!
Faster, faster!
In slow motion, the orb reached the boundary. Just as it almost crossed, the flood crashed into the boundary with a thunderous roar…
Spiritual light exploded like the most beautiful fireworks, keeping Yukigetsu’s heart racing until he saw the orb safely cross.
Buzz, buzz!
Realizing it couldn’t stop them, the Spirit River calmed down.
The two orbs hovered before Yukigetsu, who examined them with satisfaction but then frowned.
Zabuza’s orb lacked some spiritual essence compared to Haku’s. What happened? Did the Spirit River do something?
“What did you do to him?” Yukigetsu questioned the Spirit River.
The Spirit River buzzed, “Only intercepted his memories.”
Intercepted memories… the Spirit River could intercept memories!
Yukigetsu realized that the Spirit River’s tasks were to send souls to an unknown destination and store their memories. As a Spirit Release user, he could access this information. However, without full control of the Spirit River, he couldn’t access everything.
“Hmph.”
Yukigetsu scoffed, staring challengingly at the Spirit River, “Just wait. I’ll control your CPU one day, and everything in your hard drive, memories, and seeds will be mine!”
The Spirit River flowed peacefully, unresponsive, and likely unable to understand terms like CPU and hard drive…
Yukigetsu stood up, not looking at the Spirit River anymore. He felt there was no point in communicating with this “computer.” Eventually, he would control it, but the idea of being the reincarnation of the Guardian God’s power intrigued him.
I’ll change my name when I reunite with my mother and become strong enough. I refuse to believe that as a transmigrator, with all the knowledge from world-class training at Yuewen Group, I can’t defeat a native god… That would be a disgrace to transmigrators…
For now, I’m too weak. But once I’m stronger, you’ll regret it, you absurd Guardian God…
Yukigetsu shifted his focus to Haku’s orb. Since Zabuza had lost his memories, there was no point in reviving him first. He decided to wake Haku.
His hand pierced the orb, touching the beautiful boy’s head. Thankfully, his form here wasn’t physical; otherwise, he couldn’t touch Haku’s soul.
Yukigetsu gathered all the memories belonging to Haku and returned them to his brain through his palm.
Boom!
A light burst from Haku, pushing Yukigetsu’s hand away. He stepped back, watching expectantly.
In the quiet soul space, on the Chakra Bridge, the perfect figure trembled within the orb, eyelashes fluttering, eyes slowly opening, revealing those familiar pure eyes…
“I’m supposed to be dead… why am I conscious…”
Haku looked at his silver hands and then at his intact body, his confusion endearing. “Where am I… why am I here…”
At that moment, a voice full of laughter came from the front:
“I saved you… big sister!”
