Naruto: Start with three magatama and cultivate Kushina

Chapter 698 Constructing the Six Cycles of Reincarnation, the Final Settlement

"A black lotus!"

The black lotus blooming in the void elicited gasps of surprise from the crowd.

Nanami picked up the black lotus from the ground with trembling hands. She sensed a blood connection from the lotus, and it was obvious that it belonged to her father!

At this moment, part of Liu Yun's consciousness was attached to the lotus, but his soul did not come out with the lotus, because he knew that if his soul came out completely, it would also violate the rules of life and death. So in the end, he chose to give up this natal artifact.

The Thirty-Sixth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus rose on its own and began to circle around Nanami.

"Dad! Where are you?" Nanami asked loudly, tears streaming down her face.

Hei Lian visibly trembled upon hearing these words. She slowly approached Nanami's cheek and gently wiped away her tears.

"Daddy, waaaah..." Nanami hugged Kurei again, and cried even louder!

"Is it Ryuun?" Asuka asked in a trembling voice, her face already streaked with tears.

Upon hearing this call, the black lotus trembled once more, then slowly flew up and landed in Asuka's hand.

"Child, where are you? Why haven't you shown yourself?" Asuka asked, crying.

Seeing that her loved ones all had this question, Black Lotus transmitted Liu Yun's divine thought to everyone in the next second:

"Kushina and I are in the Underworld and won't be able to get out anytime soon, but we're doing well now, so you don't need to worry or look for us anymore. We'll meet again someday, and then we can be together forever!"

As the black lotus transmitted its divine thoughts, it also spewed out a cloud of black gas, instantly enveloping everyone and giving each person a faint black lotus mark on their forehead.

After sending out its divine thoughts, the Black Lotus stopped speaking. It circled around everyone on its own before finally returning to Nanami's hand.

"So Mom and Dad were trapped. No wonder they haven't come home for so many years..." Uchiha Junlin said with red eyes, then asked Orochimaru, who was a wise man, what kind of place was the Underworld?

"The Underworld... If I'm not mistaken, that place is a world of death..." Orochimaru said solemnly.

"The world of death? Will Mom and Dad be in danger in a place like that?" Nanami asked hurriedly after wiping away her tears, her eyes fixed on the black lotus in her hand.

“Ryuun just said that he and Kushina are both fine, so there’s definitely no problem. However, the fact that the Underworld can trap them both means it’s clearly not a good place…” Orochimaru calmly analyzed.

Hearing these words, Liu Yun's family members couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go back. Since Ryuun doesn’t want us to go to him, there must be a reason. He said he would see us again, and he certainly won’t break his promise. We can all go back and wait…” Orochimaru suggested, glancing at Nanami.

"Hmm..." Nanami finally nodded emphatically, and hugged the black lotus, which was the size of a human head, even tighter in her arms.

The group returned to the spaceship and embarked on their journey home.

Within the realm of the dead, Liu Yun projected the condition of his loved ones from the perspective of the Black Lotus of Annihilation and showed it to Kushina.

Kushina, who hadn't seen her two children for a long time, was also crying. Unfortunately, she could only see the images in front of her but couldn't touch them or make a sound, which must have been a source of regret and sadness for her.

"I left the mark of the underworld on them, and from now on each of them will be safe and sound. The Black Lotus will protect their souls until the day we meet again..." Ryuun comforted Kushina while holding her.

"Mmm!" Kushina nodded and buried herself in Ryuun's arms.

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Liuyun's youngest daughter has grown into a graceful young woman.

Houtu was chosen by the world of death at birth and was given the important mission of building a system of life and death reincarnation.

For over a thousand years, all the ghosts in the Pure Land who had absorbed the purple energy began to move spontaneously toward the Underworld. The once vast Underworld was soon surrounded by endless ghosts and gradually became crowded.

As a being born from eating the fruit of the divine tree, Houtu possesses the Rinnegan, and her eyes are the true eyes of reincarnation. Over the past thousand years, guided by destiny, she has mastered the way of reincarnation and, with the help of her father, has built a complete system of reincarnation.

The twenty-four-petaled purple lotus that was originally left between Houtu's eyebrows materialized and was refined by her into a Reincarnation Purple Lotus that could allow countless ghosts to reincarnate!

In the past, many ghosts in the world of the dead could not be reincarnated. Take the ninja world as an example: many ninjas died hundreds or thousands of years ago, but they could still be summoned back to the mortal world from the Pure Land using the Impure World Reincarnation technique...

This indicates that their souls remain permanently in the Pure Land. Even the reincarnations of Indra and Asura did not seem to follow a proper path of reincarnation. Their souls, including those of the Sage of Six Paths, were fused with chakra. The so-called reincarnations were more like borrowing bodies to return to life, and each time they had to choose a bloodline from the Six Paths. Normal reincarnation would certainly not be like this.

The cycle of reincarnation in this vast universe is incomplete. The appearance of Houtu filled the gap in the rules of the world of death. The wandering souls that were originally lost in the Pure Land finally had a place to go, and all kinds of souls will go to their respective six paths of reincarnation.

With this great merit, Houtu became the lord of all ghosts in the underworld. All the ghosts and gods were willing to serve her, and the world of death would be under her command for countless years to come.

After helping his daughter perfect the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Liu Yun entered the Divine Might Space for secluded cultivation, and two thousand years passed in that time.

After two thousand years of accumulation, the Divine Tree successfully produced two Yomi Fruits by absorbing Izanami's immortal body.

Previously, Liu Yun fed Hou Tu a Yomi no Mi (Yellow Spring Fruit), granting her enough power to construct the Six Paths. This time, Liu Yun ate two Yomi no Mi fruits at once. After fully digesting the power, he headed straight for Yomi no Hirasaka, intending to settle the last grudge.

When he reappeared before Yomotsu Hirasaka, he swung the Ame-no-Murakumo sword and forcefully broke through the powerful seal that Takamimusubi had set up there.

Takamimusubi and Izanagi were immediately alarmed.

Liu Yun's eyes locked onto Izanagi first, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand ignored the spatial distance and slashed directly. After only a few rounds of fierce fighting with the two gods, Liu Yun used his absolute power advantage to cut off Izanagi's head!

Having just dealt with Izanagi, a dark spatial vortex appeared on the back of Takamimusubi. Ryuun's sword-wielding arm extended directly from the vortex and then launched a fatal attack on Takamimusubi!

Without the Ama-no-Numa Spear, and with the blinded Takamimusubi-no-Hikaru extremely passive, ordinary divine weapons were simply no match for the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, especially since Ryuun had the advantage in strength.

When Takamimusubi was in danger, the other Kotoamatsukami also reluctantly offered their help. Almost all of the three high gods except for Amanomiminakanushi chose to lend a hand!
