Chapter 415: Total War · Part One
Aboard the Han Hai Ye Wen sat on his divine throne, toying with a small blue shelled, pink skinned turtle in his hand. More precisely, it was the "Plow," a unique artifact left behind by an Otsutsuki god, a transcendent entity beyond this dimension.
"Fascinating. With billions of runes and divine power, it actually enables travel across parallel universes," Ye Wen mused with a faint smile.
Since attaining godhood, Ye Wen had been entrenched in endless wars for the expansion of civilization. Day after day, even Ye Wen had started to feel a sense of monotony. The Plow not only allowed travel across parallel timelines but also enabled precise control over time during such journeys, adding a new layer of intrigue.
Ye Wen had a feeling that, after countless journeys across space and time, he might surpass even the realm of the God King and ascend to an entirely new level, possibly transcending this dimension altogether. While he longed to test it immediately, there was a more pressing matter at hand.
The real war was imminent.
Ye Wen wasn't about to wait decades for the Otsutsuki like Momoshiki to arrive, especially since they were merely weaklings, easily defeated by protagonists lacking even Six Paths power. They weren't worth waiting for.
At that moment, a figure entered Ye Wen's private chamber.
"Father."
Ye Wen gave a slight nod; it was his child with Bibi Dong Ye Tianhun.
"What is it, Hun'er?"
"Father, I've successfully comprehended the powers of the ninja world's Evil God. I've incorporated both Curses and Causality into my divine powers."
Ye Wen nodded, recalling that he had handed Hidan over to Ye Tianhun for study, specifically to investigate the strange deity Hidan worshipped. This so called god, born from the ninja world's primitive faith, was a low ranking deity, but one with an exceptionally eerie power, embodying Curse and Causality two unique aspects never seen in the Douluo world's divine system. Beyond the Plow, this was the most valuable discovery from their journey to the ninja world.
The reason Ye Tianhun focused on these particular powers was that he cultivated the Death God Divinity, one of the highest laws governing the end of all things.
"Very well, Hun'er. You've now attained the strength of a mighty God King with multiple divine authorities."
"It's all thanks to your guidance, Father," Ye Tianhun responded respectfully.
Ye Wen was quite pleased with this child, at least grateful he hadn't turned out to be the ungrateful betrayer Bibi Dong originally raised in another timeline.
"Prepare yourself, Hun'er. War is about to begin. Remember not to rush in too recklessly; otherwise, even I might not be able to protect you. The battlefield is a place of death but also the best opportunity for rapid power growth. Make the most of it."
"Yes, Father," Ye Tianhun replied confidently, adding, "After all, the family motto is to think things through, right? I'll be careful extra careful so you and all my mothers won't have to worry."
After a warm exchange, Ye Wen was left in solitude once more.
The Douluo Divine Realm's full scale war was drawing near.
The first step in warfare is establishing a stronghold. As soon as the war preparations began, the Douluo Divine Realm quickly took control of hundreds of life bearing planets surrounding the ninja world. The Otsutsuki clan instantly detected this intrusion, but the members stationed on those planets were slaughtered before they could harvest any fruits.
Although the Ten Tails didn't amount to much against true god level power, it was a potent weapon in war. Ye Wen had long since deciphered all of the Ten Tails' secrets. With a few injections, the Ten Tails scattered across various life planets turned against the Otsutsuki and became assets of the Douluo Divine Realm.
Still, the Ten Tails would remain mere weapons. Extracting innate life essence from planets, as the Otsutsuki ruthlessly did, was wasteful and would be disastrous for the long term development of any civilization.
While the Otsutsuki dispatched operatives without even basic space vessels, their home planet possessed some sophisticated technology a fact Ye Wen had gleaned from Kaguya. Watching the Otsutsuki's starships crossing space, the gods of Douluo smirked.
Under the starry sky, there was room for only one king.
Though the Otsutsuki's elite fighters could traverse the void unaided, their power was technologically enhanced, rendering them ignorant of the true laws of the universe.
Ye Wen, seated high on his throne, gazed at the unfolding conflict with cold detachment.
"The Otsutsuki civilization, while remarkable, has never faced the harshness of a true war between civilizations. Today, the Douluo Divine Realm will teach you a lesson and the cost will be the annihilation of your entire civilization."
A century passed in the blink of an eye.
Half of the Otsutsuki's original territory had been annexed by the Douluo Divine Realm. At this point, the Otsutsuki, backed into a corner, dispatched their elders formidable figures of the highest rank.
"I knew these sickening creatures had more to them than what we'd seen before some who've even mastered the laws of power."
Liu Erlong said excitedly, transforming into a mighty flame dragon as she charged toward the Otsutsuki.
Watching from the command center, Ye Wen shook his head. After all these years, she was still as reckless as ever.
The Otsutsuki's supernatural powers were remarkably unpredictable. In particular, the Rinnegan was a special eye developed by fusing the unique laws of a life bearing planet into one. Every planet birthed different Rinnegan abilities. Because of this, many Otsutsuki had abilities that were bizarre and difficult to counter. Their unusual powers allowed them to hold out against the Douluo Divine Realm's forces for a hundred years.
According to intelligence, most of the Ten Tails' fruits had been consumed by the high ranking elders, giving them abilities that were especially formidable. These elders had even comprehended the laws of the universe, making them far from ordinary enemies.
"Divine Technique: Solar Charge!" Liu Erlong unleashed her ultimate move.
Having grown up alongside Ye Wen, Liu Erlong's talent might not have been unparalleled, but over the years, she had managed to break through to the God King realm by cultivating the Fire God Divinity.
The Otsutsuki's power system differed fundamentally from the Douluo Divine Realm, making it impossible to draw exact comparisons. Yet with his experienced eye, Ye Wen could see that this elder Otsutsuki had attained a level comparable to a God King.
"Inferior creature," the Otsutsuki elder sneered, viewing all native cultivation as primitive.
A golden Rinnegan with nine tomoe emerged from the center of his forehead, turning his Byakugan eyes into nine tomoe Rinnegan as well.
"Amaterasu no Mikoto!"
A terrifying white flame engulfed the charging Liu Erlong.
