Chapter 381

A jade ribbon crossed the land, adorned with sparkling pearls.

The transformation of the Region of Wind had reached a temporary conclusion.

The rest was now up to Nawaki and the people who lived on this land.

Hope had been given to them, but whether that hope could be turned into a brighter future was their responsibility.

After completing the transformation of the Region of Wind, Hui spent the following days traveling across the world.

In the Region of Earth, he moved mountains. In the Region of Water, he dredged the seas.

In the Region of Lightning, he calmed the thunder. In the Region of Fire, he nurtured the growth of all things.

His footprints spanned the entire world, and his miracles covered every corner of the land.

The name of the Sage resonated with divinity.

The world was changing, not only in its natural landscapes but also in the hearts of its people.

This journey of transforming nature introduced a new faith to the world: Mochizuki Hui.

Under this shared belief, the world began to unify, slowly converging into one whole.

As time flowed, the Hidden Sage World progressed, swiftly but steadily.

It wouldn't be long before this world underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

The five leaders of the Five Great Regions worked tirelessly to implement their respective plans.

In various parts of the world, the darkness of the night was dispelled by electric lights, and ignorance was replaced with education and knowledge.

Particularly notable were the children in different regions. They began to receive education from the Hidden Sage Village, ensuring that their beliefs and values would differ from those of their elders.

These children would be the first to receive the Sage Seal.

Of course, that was a matter for several years down the line. Hui always prioritized the education of the mind. While he had introduced the Eight Gates Sage Ascension Technique to the world, it didn't mean that everyone could immediately begin practicing it.

Moreover, the Eight Gates Sage Ascension Technique wasn't something anyone could master without the Sage Seal.

As of now, only a select few individuals across the world could bestow the Sage Seal. Aside from Hui, there were only Tobirama, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Madara.

Even so, the marks they could carve were rudimentary versions, far inferior in quality.

Granting these rudimentary marks to exceptionally gifted children would be a waste of potential.

After concluding his journey of natural transformation, Hui began teaching a select group of people in the Hidden Sage Village how to carve the Sage Seal.

These were marks of moderate power, not the weakest but far from the strongest.

Truthfully, if it were possible, Hui would have preferred to teach everyone how to carve the most powerful Sage Seal, enabling the entire world to access the pinnacle of cultivation.

Unfortunately, this was impossible.

The strongest Sage Seal required elements that only Hui could perceive, touch, and wield.

Hui was no longer the same as ordinary people. His senses were far beyond theirs. He could see more, hear more, smell more, touch more, and feel more.

For him and ordinary people, though they existed in the same space, it was as if they inhabited two entirely different worlds.

He could see the vibrant natural energies in myriad colors. He could hear the primal sounds of all living things. He could feel the air, not as emptiness but as a soft, comforting substance.

Undoubtedly, Hui's world was far more vivid and beautiful than the world of ordinary people.

Sometimes, this made Hui feel as though he no longer belonged to the same species as others.

This thought arose from the stark differences in what they could see, feel, and comprehend.

It was akin to the gap between a person of average intelligence and someone with none, or between a fully able individual and someone who was deaf, mute, crippled, and blind.

Even if they were of the same species, their worlds were fundamentally different.

This realization was dangerous, and Hui was keenly aware of it. Without hesitation, he suppressed many of his abilities, bridging the gap between himself and ordinary people.

By doing so, he could keep the differences from becoming too stark.

This also made Hui even more eager to guide humanity down the path of evolution.

He hoped that one day, the entire world could ascend, so he would once again have true peers.

Only then could the loneliness in his heart fade away, eventually disappearing altogether.

After teaching others how to carve the most advanced Sage Seal that ordinary humans could wield, Hui sent them across the Five Great Regions.

These individuals would be responsible for bestowing the Sage Seal on those deemed ideologically fit.

At the same time, they scoured the world for individuals with extraordinary talent and impeccable moral character.

These chosen few would be brought to the Hidden Sage Village, where Hui himself would personally carve the Sage Seal for them.

For these individuals, it was a tremendous honor.

To receive the personal blessing of Hui, who was revered as a god by nearly everyone, was a dream that ignited passion and motivation in countless hearts.

For the chance to have the Sage Seal personally bestowed by him, those selected worked tirelessly to prove themselves worthy.

Time continued to flow, and the day of Hui and Tsunade's wedding drew closer.

This wedding was destined to be a global event, the grandest celebration the world had ever seen.

Countless people were already making preparations for the occasion.

Amid these busy days, one particular moment caused Hui to tremble with excitement while immersed in his research.

A smile of delight broke across his face.

"The power of space… it's about to fully assimilate!"

Hui was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected it to take only six years to assimilate the power of space!

This timeframe was far shorter than he had imagined.

Still, it was undeniably great news.

"I wonder… once the assimilation is complete, how will my spatial abilities evolve this time?"

He spoke to himself, unable to suppress his anticipation and excitement.

Hui's strength was already immense, encompassing a vast range of abilities. He was truly omnipotent in the shinobi world.

However, since ancient times, the power of space had always been one of the most formidable abilities.

Assimilating the power of space was not just an accomplishment for him, it was a leap forward.

Even without considering the new abilities he might gain, Hui believed that assimilating space would bring him closer to creating a technique for constructing spatial teleportation arrays.

Once spatial teleportation arrays were established, the world's development would accelerate exponentially.

The ability to use space freely would catapult civilization into an era of rapid advancement.

At that point, global unification could be achieved in an extremely short amount of time.

Moreover, every time Hui experienced a transformation or assimilation, it significantly boosted his strength.

From his initial assimilation of light to chakra, then natural energy, and finally life energy, each step had resulted in exponential growth in his combat power.

This time, with the assimilation of space, it was clear that Hui's strength would reach even greater heights.

"At this rate, the assimilation will likely be complete within a month. Could this be my wedding gift to myself? How exciting!"

Feeling the progress of the assimilation within him, Hui couldn't help but smile brightly.

The thought of his upcoming marriage to Tsunade already filled him with joy.

Now, with the added news of his imminent spatial assimilation, his happiness only grew.

Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Hui sat alone in a remote and tranquil area far from the Hidden Sage Village.

He chose such a secluded location because he couldn't predict what might happen when the assimilation of spatial energy was complete.

If he lost control during the process and accidentally tore apart the surrounding space, causing casualties or other damage, he would deeply regret it.

In the stillness of the forest, Hui sat cross-legged, his eyes gently closed.

At a certain moment, an invisible force erupted from his body, an intangible energy of space that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, Hui's body appeared to split into dozens of overlapping layers, each one inverted and spinning. 

The scene was eerie beyond imagination.

Around him, the trees, flowers, and grass were distorted and segmented by the spatial energy, floating and drifting in midair as though caught in a surreal dance.

When the spatial energy finally subsided, the fragmented objects fell to the ground, fully severed by the spatial cuts.

Hui slowly opened his eyes, which sparkled with excitement.

His heart raced with exhilaration. 

He had succeeded.
