Godslayer: Sharingan, wait until I awaken Susanoo to slay the gods!

Zhang Luochen slightly opened his eyes and found himself in complete darkness, where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.

"Where is this place?" Zhang Luochen looked around in confusion.

He vaguely remembered that he had used "Ghost God Guidance" and "Eight Gates Formation", so he was already dead?

"I should be dead, but why is this place so dark?" Zhang Luochen tried to move his body, but found that he couldn't move at all.

Just then, several candles suddenly lit up around him, illuminating the entire area. He then realized that he was standing on a puddle, and a drop of water fell, splashing up a few ripples.

Then, the figure of the Sage of Six Paths slowly appeared.

"The Sage of Six Paths?" Zhang Luochen was slightly taken aback.

The Sage of Six Paths sighed softly, "This is too reckless. You should already be dead."

“Originally? Should have?” Zhang Luochen quickly grasped the key point of the sentence: “So, I am not dead yet.”

The Sage of Six Paths nodded slightly: "Your partner who can control time temporarily froze your own time, and then you were taken to the Heavenly Court."

"The Heavenly Court? So, I'm in the Heavenly Court now?" Zhang Luochen looked around, but apart from the endless darkness, he didn't see anything else.

"No need to look, this is my consciousness," the Sage of Six Paths said again.

"Then what do I do now?" Zhang Luochen asked. "Since I'm not dead, why can't I wake up?"

"You've gone too far. I granted you ninjutsu, but you paid for it with your life. Was it worth it?"

Zhang Luochen was slightly taken aback, then his eyes became unusually firm: "It's worth it. This is the oath of us Night Watchmen. What Brother Zhai said is right, oaths do have magic. Now that I've come to this place, what I need to protect are the millions of people behind me."

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths glanced sideways. He vaguely recalled that there was once a group of people who risked their lives to protect their village.

"It seems that the power of inheritance has not chosen the wrong person this time." The Sage of Six Paths raised his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently pointed in Zhang Luochen's direction.

Zhang Luochen felt a sudden dizziness, and then everything around him began to change. The once boundless darkness slowly became bright.

Just then, Zhang Luochen slowly opened his eyes. He moved his hands and feet slightly and found himself lying on a bed. Looking around, he realized he was in an antique-style room.

Turning his head slightly, Zhang Luochen suddenly saw the Sage of Six Paths sitting to the side. He tried to sit up from the bed, but the soreness in his muscles and the fatigue all over his body made him unable to move.

"Don't move around. You've just recovered from a serious illness and barely escaped with your life," the Sage of Six Paths said.

"I... I've come back to life?" Zhang Luochen asked tentatively.

"You've survived, but your bodily functions won't recover so quickly. Also, since you used the Hundred Healings Technique and the Eight Gates Formation, you can't use the Hundred Healings Technique to recover your body for the time being," the Sage of Six Paths explained.

"Furthermore, your Nine-Tails power needs time to recover. In short, it's best if you don't move around too much right now."

"Alright, then I'll just have to lie here and get better on my own." Zhang Luochen continued to lie on the bed.

"Yes and no. Because of your own condition, your recovery is already extraordinary. Moreover, if the mark on your forehead heals, it means that your body has fully recovered," the Sage of Six Paths explained.

"The mark on my forehead?" Zhang Luochen touched his forehead; the diamond-shaped mark was no longer there. "Right, now you can transfer the power of the Six Paths to me, right?"

The Sage of Six Paths was slightly taken aback, then gave a wry smile: "It's not the right time yet. However, since you have already awakened the Rinnegan, I can temporarily grant you the Samsara Rebirth Technique."

"Reincarnation Technique? That's the ninjutsu that can revive people? But when I used that ninjutsu, I died myself." Zhang Luochen's expression even showed a hint of disgust.

"Three times." The Sage of Six Paths held up three fingers: "I will give you three chances to use the Samsara Rebirth Technique. Make good use of it, whether it is to revive yourself or others. You need to use it with caution."

"What if I use it all three times? I still won't die?" Zhang Luochen asked.

"Using it three times won't kill you, but it will deplete all your chakra, turning you back into an ordinary person. Also, each time you use it, you will consume a lot of chakra and need time to recover."

Zhang Luochen nodded slightly, indicating his understanding. If he used it three times, he would revert to being an ordinary person, so he should indeed use it with caution.

Just then, a burst of celestial energy appeared, the door opened, and then an old man dressed in white robes, exuding an ethereal aura, strolled in, holding a whisk in his hand.

Upon seeing the visitor, the Sage of Six Paths immediately stood up, bowed slightly, and was extremely respectful.

Zhang Luochen sat up in bed: "You are..."

"I am Venus," the old man said with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.

Venus?

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Luochen's eyes. Of course he had heard of this name, but he never expected that Venus would be standing so beautifully in front of him.

"Zhang Luochen, a mortal, greets the Star Lord." Zhang Luochen clasped his hands together, wanting to bow respectfully, but the pain in his body made him support himself on the edge of the bed.

"No need for formalities, young friend, how are you feeling?" Venus asked.

"It's nothing serious. Xie Xingjun told me to rest here. Where are my friends?" Zhang Luochen asked.

“Your friends are all settled in,” Venus said with a smile.

"Then, what about Lin Qiye?"

"He's awake and catching up with his friends."

Zhang Luochen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, Venus looked Zhang Luochen up and down, which puzzled Zhang Luochen.

"Star Lord, is something the matter?"

Venus waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just that your appearance has made this world much more interesting. You may be a new variable."

"A new variable?" Zhang Luochen asked, somewhat puzzled. "Please enlighten me, Star Lord."

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. When the time is right, my young friend will naturally understand." Venus stroked his long beard.

Then, Venus looked at the Sage of Six Paths beside him.

"Although you are only a soul, it is your good fortune to have reached such a height."

The Six Paths Immortal was extremely respectful before Venus: "It's all thanks to the Star Lord."

"Come with me, let's talk in my room." Venus looked at Zhang Luochen: "I won't disturb your rest any longer, young friend."

Zhang Luochen bowed to Venus, and then the two figures disappeared from his room together.

"Am I the variable?" Zhang Luochen recalled what Taibai Jinxing had said and was also a little confused. Moreover, he didn't know what he and the Six Paths Immortal were going to talk about.

"I wonder how Qiye and the others are doing. Let's go check on them."
