The first thousand one hundred and sixty-seven chapters
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence, and the light turned into countless light and dark particles, like pixels on a computer screen, converging toward the center, revealing an old man's face.
There is no neck, no limbs, no torso, just a head and a face, standing out of thin air, like a phantom, without any object, as if it has no entity.
The cyan light, which may be bright or dark, long or short, outlines the person's appearance vividly, and because the light particles are moving at any time, the face is a little blurry, as if it will be blown away by the wind in the next second.
In the pure land space, inside the Expanding Taoist Seeking Jade, in the center of the Time Stop Domain, Lei Luo naturally did not dare to be careless when encountering such an uninvited guest. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person carefully.
You can see that it has double horns on its head, its skin is full of wrinkles, it has a goatee, its eyelids are drooping, and a circle of ripples appears in the middle of the pupil, which is exactly the shape of the samsara eye, emitting wisps of cyan light.
"Who are you?"
After just a moment of looking at each other, Lei Luo could realize that the old cyan face in front of him was definitely not restricted by time. The other person's eyes and expressions clearly expressed this.
"Jidu."
The mysterious old man had no expression on his face and spoke his name very calmly without any pause. His eyes when he looked at Lei Luo were calm, but there was a trace of hidden deep surprise in them.
As for his voice, it is full of magnetism. It not only contains the inextricable melancholy and vicissitudes of life, but also faintly reveals the indifference that an elderly person should have and sees through the world.
"Are you from the Otsutsuki clan?"
The second question came out. Although Lei Luo guessed the identity of the old man through his appearance and eyes, he still asked one more question. Sure enough, he got an affirmative answer, a very short answer:
"yes."
The Time Stop Domain quietly disappeared after the two questions. Kaguya broke away from the restraints. The first thing he saw was the cyan face floating out of thin air. His pupils shrank slightly, but he did not act rashly.
When Lei Luo saw the plan, he had no desire to take action. He behaved very quietly and had the ability to communicate, so he planned to ask a few more questions, but Jidu spoke at this time:
"Now it's my turn to ask the question, who are you?"
After glancing at the meter without leaving any trace, he didn't get any useful information from the face. Lei Luo pondered for a moment and finally decided to communicate again to see if he could get any useful information.
"Lelo."
"You are not from this planet, are you?"
After hearing that Jidu had revealed his identity as a time traveler, Lei Luo was moved in his heart. He pretended to smile calmly and asked, pretending to mediate the atmosphere:
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Ji Du still showed no change in his expression. He shook his head slightly and said calmly: "You don't have to hide anything from me. It is impossible for the natives to destroy the "cycle"."
Cycle? Capturing this key word, Lei Luo had a vague understanding and guessed that this should refer to the causal chain, but he destroyed the causal chain? When did this happen? Why didn't he have any impression at all?
"It seems that you are very confused about your situation."
Ji Du seemed to see the doubts in Lei Luo's heart at a glance, and said firmly that pretending would not have any effect in front of people like him.
Lei Luo didn't respond, so Ji Du continued:
"Visitor from another world, I now give you two choices. One is to cooperate with me and rebuild the cycle. In this way, you can not only save your life, but also become a member of our clan and reach the pinnacle of life."
"The second is to refuse to cooperate and to be buried with this planet in a few years."
Are you trying to... recruit yourself?
Lei Luo was thoughtful and subconsciously turned his head to glance at Kaguya. Since he was unclear about the situation, he was now eager to obtain some intelligence support.
However, even if Lei Luo glanced over, Kaguya still didn't give any hint. She clenched her hands slightly and retreated quietly. It was obvious that the presence of Jidu made Kaguya very nervous.
"You don't need to go see her, I'm asking you now."
At this time, Jidu's voice came. Although his tone still did not fluctuate at all, the meaning revealed in it was that he was clearly ignoring Kaguya, and it sounded extremely domineering.
Through simple analysis, Lei Luo judged that Kaguya and Ji should know each other.
The comprehensive plan appeared in an unclear manner, talking about "circulation" and "planet" without mentioning words such as "sacred tree" and "chakra" at all, giving him the feeling of a big shot.
Lei Luo felt that the other party should be a senior member of the Otsutsuki clan.
"I want to ask, what is your purpose?"
Although both sides were enemies no matter how they looked at it, Lei Luo still persisted in the idea of ​​collecting information and did not move lightly. Instead, he pretended to be deep in thought and asked in a deep voice.
"Stabilize the situation on this planet."
Ji Du still answered all questions, not caring about Lei Luo's hidden thoughts, and acted openly and openly, as if he was not afraid that the other party would not cooperate at all.
At this point, Lei Luo was finally sure that he should have accidentally destroyed the chain of cause and effect, which was why Jidu appeared. The reason for the old guy's appearance was also very simple: to repair the chain of cause and effect.
"I know you are very confused, wondering why I chose you to cooperate?" Ji Du spoke again, interrupting Lei Luo's thoughts. He asked and answered himself:
"The reason is very simple. If you can break the cycle as a mortal, even if you look at all outsiders, you are an outstanding existence."
"We, the Otsutsuki clan, have always liked to recruit strong men from other clans to join us. Even if some strong men had trouble with our clan, they all chose to cooperate in the end."
"Just like now, as long as you have value and are willing to contribute to our clan, then giving you our clan's blood and chakra fruit is not a problem."
"So, Lei Luo... what is your choice?"
Jidu described the Otsutsuki clan as extremely enlightened, a large organization and a large group that recruits talents. Lei Luo didn't know whether it was true or not, but his intuition told him that there should be no such good things in the world.
The most important thing is that Ji Du only mentioned the benefits that he could obtain, but did not mention the future of mankind in the ninja world. If you think about the meaning carefully, the result seems to be very bad.
"Sounds good, but unfortunately, I don't trust you."
Lei Luo did not hesitate for too long, and sighed with regret. Let alone Alaya who helped him get to where he is today, how could he be ungrateful? Just talk about the human beings in the ninja world...
He didn't think at all that the Otsutsuki clan would be soft on ordinary people, and Lei Luo was no longer the lone ranger he used to be, a lone ranger who had enough to feed his family.
After saying that, Lei Luo clenched his fists and prepared to hit Jidu with a star-shaking move.
"Did you refuse..."
In response to this, Ji Du was not angry. When he saw Lei Luo's shining fist coming, his eyes flashed slightly, and the cyan light particles that formed the shape of the head became deeper and darker.
There was a loud bang, and layers of white air waves spread out for hundreds of meters. Lei Luo's fist turned into a dazzling ball of light and hit Jidu's face in a straight line, and the space was instantly filled with cracks.
Maybe the effect of Hagoromo's secret technique has dissipated, and the Pure Land space is no longer as solid as before. The Star Shaking Strike only paused for a few microseconds before blasting a big hole in its place.
From the entrance of the cave, one could clearly see the outside world, but it was a forest of strange-shaped trees and many islands suspended in the sky. Lei Luo quickly recognized that there was Miaomu Mountain.
However, his attention was not focused on Mt. Miaomu at all, and his eyes were firmly focused on the front.
Just because... the space was obviously destroyed, but Jidu seemed not to be harmed at all. The looming blue head still stayed in the same place, as if it coincided with the space passage.
