Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 208 The World Itself
Seeing this old man wearing a white robe with two short spikes growing out of his forehead, Tetsuya immediately guessed the guy's identity.

"Six Path Immortals?"

"You can call me by my name, or of course you can call me Six Paths Immortal." The old man had a vague smile on his face: "You are probably familiar with me, right?"

These words made Zheye feel nervous:
"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Zheye is also a guest, so how about sitting down and having a cup of tea?"

No movement was seen from the Immortal of the Six Paths. A low coffee table, more than two meters long and half a meter wide, appeared on the cloud-like illusory ground. The tea sets were already placed on it. There was no flame. There was a sound of boiling water in the round iron teapot. It's becoming obvious.

The coffee table is no higher than the calf, and there are futons for kneeling on both sides.

Zheye glanced at it and raised an objection:

"I don't like sitting on my knees."

In his previous life, he was used to making stools and chairs. After coming to this world, many people would sit on their knees, but Zhe rarely did so, mainly because it was uncomfortable.

This is also a test, making an insignificant request to see how the other party reacts.

"You know, when I was still alive, everyone sat on the ground like this." The Immortal of Six Paths took the lead to sit on the side of the coffee table, kneeling down with his legs together and meticulously: "Just think of it as a way of understanding the old man's habits. , there is a saying, what is it? Just do as the Romans do!"

"For you, aren't you adapting well to this world of ninjas, Tetsuya-kun?"

Zhe also felt a little unhappy, but his attitude relaxed a lot, and he immediately sat down, but he did not choose to sit down on his knees, but kept sitting cross-legged with his legs spread apart.

According to the traditional etiquette of this world, this was very impolite, but the Sage of Six Paths said nothing.

After sitting down, Zhe didn't want to talk nonsense, and asked directly:
"I want to know, what is your purpose in arresting me here?"

The Immortal of Six Paths did not answer in a hurry. He pinched two pinches of tea leaves from the tea jar and threw them into the cup. Then he poured boiling water into it. After brewing the tea, he slowly said:
"It's really not a good thing to catch Tetsuya-kun, but I can't help it. After all, I have very important things to explain to Tetsuya-kun, but in my current state, can I directly intervene in the world of the living? So I have to use some small means.”

When the Sage of the Six Paths was speaking, Zheye was thinking about what this guy's purpose was.

Perhaps the so-called small means is that the strange invisible monster used the fact that the monster was possessed by his illusion to establish a spiritual link and pull himself to this place?

He seems to be implying that he knows the fact that I am a time traveler?

So he also knows about the existence of the stele space?
Perhaps this means that his time travel is not one of the countless coincidences in the endless universe, but the result of some kind of power operation?

What did he want to say to me?

Anything about the stele space?

"The tea needs to be brewed for a while. Since Mr. Zheye doesn't like nonsense, how about the old man getting straight to the point?"

The Sage of Six Paths explained that what he did was out of necessity, and then he looked at Tetsuya and asked, seemingly seeking his opinion.

What can Ke Zhe say?
He has tried quietly, but he can't return to his body, nor can he twist everything and control everything here like controlling the space of the stone monument. He is just a soul trapped here.

Now I can only listen to what the Immortal of Six Paths has to say.

"Actually, it's a long story, but fortunately we have plenty of time." The Immortal of Six Paths put his hands on his knees, and his tone was like telling a story, which made Zheya feel like facing the cross talk show. Vision: "In this world, there are actually such things as gods, but for some reason most of them have become silent and no longer appear."

Zheye nodded, indicating that he knew, even though it was all hearsay from the White Snake Immortal.

"I won't tell you stories that have little to do with the present. If you are interested later, we can talk slowly."

The Immortal of Six Paths slowly preached:

"Although the gods have disappeared, please note that I am only talking about the vast majority. A very small number of gods have not actually left. They still exist in this world. Of course, they are very few in number and will not appear in front of people's eyes."

Zheya heard this and interjected:

"The evil god Hidan believes in? Or the monster sealed by the Kingdom of Demons?"

"The evil god and the thing sealed by the Kingdom of Ghosts can indeed be regarded as one of the gods. After all, all things have animism. Among the 800 million gods, there are gods ranging from ants to the sun. Their abilities vary widely, and their powers vary. It's like heaven and earth."

Immortal Six Paths gave an affirmative answer, and then continued:

"But among these remaining gods, there is one that cannot be recognized, spoken, or seen by people."

Zheye frowned, why did he say it was like the evil god Cthulhu, indescribable?

But the Immortal of Six Paths obviously didn’t mean that:

"If Amaterasu represents the sun, then this god represents this world. I wonder if you can understand it, Tetsuya-kun."

"Gaia consciousness? The planet itself?"

Zheye followed his train of thought and gave this answer directly.

The Immortal of Six Paths could not understand what Gaia meant, but he understood the planet itself to some extent, so he smiled and said:
"Yes, you can say that."

At this moment, Zheye felt blessed for a moment and blurted out:

"You don't want to tell me that after the Otsutsuki clan invaded this planet, the world itself is trying to expel them and eliminate them, right?"

Immortal Six Paths picked up the teacup in front of him and blew on the hot tea inside:

"Before the Otsutsuki clan came here, the concept of chakra did not exist at all. Only natural energy and spiritual energy existed, and gods were born based on them."

"The Sacred Tree or the Ten-Tails is a tool of the Otsutsuki clan. It converts the foundation of this world, which is the uncontrolled absorption of large amounts of natural energy, into chakra that belongs to itself and the Otsutsuki clan. If no one stops this kind of thing If it does, the final result will be the destruction of this world.”

"The Otsutsuki clan is unrestrained in this aspect, but my mother is indeed an outlier among them. She did not absorb all the natural energy in one breath, which gave God a chance to fight back."

"Through some means, God allowed my mother to conceive me and my younger brother, and later chose the toad pill from the toad clan in Mount Miaomu to guide us to resist mother's rule of this world."

There is a lot of information in this, and the most noteworthy thing is that some kind of method made Kaguya Otsutsuki pregnant with two children, the Sage of Six Paths and her younger brother.
Zhe also wants to ask, how does the world itself turn into a god?How did you do it?
But he still didn't ask
