《Narutoverse: Cultivation Style》Chapter 31: Kaguya's Middle

“When I woke up, I found myself cocooned within the branches of a gigantic tree. I realised that it was the Shinju. I could feel a small consciousness inside it that felt very familiar to me, probably a residual part of my child’s consciousness.
“I inspected myself and found that I was not only fine, but my Dao had condensed. Broken then stands is this meaning.
“When I paid attention to the outside, I found that the Shinju had been surrounded by several armies. By sneaking out and scouring the souls of a few soldiers, I learnt that I along with the Shinju had arrived in the form of a meteor.
“It had crashed into the ground and immediately started sprouting into a tree by absorbing the world vitality attracting everyone’s attention.
“The political power system of this world was straight out of a biology textbook from one of the scientific worlds I had been to. There was the Mammalia empire led by Leo kingdom, Elephas kingdom etc. Then there was the Reptilia empire led by Ophidia kingdom… It was like the animal kingdom with each kingdom consecrating a divine beast known as the totem beast of the kingdom.
“There were insects, frogs, the whole gamut. So, I got an idea as to how I could take over the world so I could quickly become a Demiurge and get my revenge.
“I went around the entire plane using my Dao and the principle of the beast path and reincarnated all the nobility into their respective totem creatures. That’s how you have the summon creatures today.
“The thing is for a plane with a population of billions, you get around 100 Shattered void cultivators per millennium. And low-level planes aren’t that exclusive.
“Say, low level plane = caterpillar
“Mid level plane = cocoon
“High level plane = butterfly
“The mid level planes are at a metamorphosis state and can’t tolerate anyone at the Shattered Void state and above so they kick them out.
“Low level planes are relaxed about it and so in the world there were several Shattered Void level people who came to fight me… and were turned into animals.

“But what was more interesting was that they had used their void force to create independent spaces above the nation capitals and had made a link with all of them creating a space network.
“Have you ever wondered how shunshin or the substitution jutsu works without void force? They use these space networks to teleport or replace themselves. Storage scrolls also tap into these independent spaces. Summoning jutsu also uses this. There is a boy called Minato and his teleportation jutsu also uses the space network to jump to the end point.
“So, I put the newly furry and scaly leaders into these space independents and henceforth they became summoning clans and I sent my beast path soul clone into the Ghostdom to manage the reincarnation of these beasts.
“Without a leader, everything became chaotic and banditry and unrest was rife. Now was the time for a god to appear. I sent my Deva path clone and took over the body of a girl named Kaguya from the Uzumaki clan. I had her reincarnate in a nice place so don’t worry about her.
“Then I pretended to enter the zone of the Shinju and came out saying I had eaten the fruit of the Shinju and had become godly. As we all know there was no fruit.
“So, I became a sort of spiritual prop in a time when world vitality was becoming thinner and thinner due to the Shinju absorbing it. What every god needs is a villain to offset her… so I had my Naraka path pretend to be a Shinigami god called Jashin.
“It created a dark cult which killed people and sacrificed their souls to Jashin, its symbol was a circle with a triangle inside.
“Both of our followers gained in power from us and we started a holy war, thereby increasing followers that prayed to us.
“During this time there was an interlude, I got drunk once along with the captain of my guardian squad and we had sex. The next morning, I woke up to find his disembowelled body by my bed along with a neat apology letter saying that he was honour bound to commit suicide after blaspheming the goddess. Idiot. If he had just waited for the morning I could have told him I was pregnant with twins… life principle, remember? I can tell.

“I suppressed my power to be drunk last night and woke late so his soul was already gone… he had killed a lot of the Jashin cultists and their resentment to him was deep so he’d probably been burnt by the fire of karma… once again, I hate karma.
“Anyway, a year later Hagoromo and Hamura were born. Hagoromo got the fragmentary Dao of Samsara with only six of the principles, his eye was the rinnegan meaning samsara eye while Hamura got the rest in the Dao of Reincarnation with soul, life and death. His eye, the Tenseigan meant reincarnation eye.
“As the fight went on, fewer and fewer people prayed to the heavens due to the lack of world vitality, which was absorbed by the Shinju.
“The Will of the world felt the crisis and decided to cross the Rubicon by jumping into the Shinju and trying to take it over. It became the ten tails.
“The consciousness of my child was still in it and it pestered with the Will and made the ten tails become a mindless beast. I easily slapped it around in its dumb state and then sealed it within me.
“So finally, everything was free for me to control. I sent Jashin/Shinigami/Naraka path soul clone to the Ghostdom and started modifying the humans here to reduce their sensitivity to world vitality.
“As Jashin disappeared, his followers became scarce and there was peace for a time. I watched my boys grow up. Hagoromo liked being preachy and taught everyone how to use chakra. He had two kids called Indra and Ashura. Ashura got the life principle while Indra got the sharingan a combination of death, soul and Asura path principles.
“Because of the asura path, it could copy techniques and give precognition… made him good at fighting. Soul was for the illusions. Death was basically for power ups into OP mangekyo versions when a loved one died.
“Hamura was really profligate and soon lots of little white eyed monsters were running around tugging at my skirt… the byakugan was interesting in that it contained the life, soul and Human path principles. Life and soul gave the ability to see chakra and the human path gave the presence sensation across obstacles.
“With Jashin out of the picture, a lot of people started to relax and some started to pray to the Heavens as they used to… this was a disaster. It strengthened Will of the world and it started taking over my body.
“The consciousness of the Shinju, my child, tried to stop it but failed. So, my child could only manipulate its goal from destroying her to absorbing all the chakra in the world. Which was quite a silly goal for an energy producing monster.
“Anyway, the rampage started.
“Hagoromo and Hamura my brave sweethearts did something incredibly heroic and equally foolish.
“Hagoromo used 90% of his soul to seal off my Dao’s connection to me then he ripped the trifecta of my, shinju’s and the Will’s soul out of my body and sealed it in him. Hamura sealed the ten tails’ body into the moon created by them with 90% of his soul.
“So, both my sons had only a few years to live and I was sealed inside Hagoromo. One day, both of them got together and used their incomplete soul principle to try and separate out the ten tails into 9 parts… the tailed beasts.
“I took the opportunity to escape, the Shinju’s consciousness became black Zetsu and it also escaped.

Trailblazer
The story of a man who accidentally wrote another world into existence. Everyone breaks away from their mundane daily life in one way or another. Our protagonist, an unfortunate consequence of circumstance, being no different, often escaped the harsh reality of life by writing stories of an alternate world of swords and magic. Though he recognized the difference between reality and fantasy, he could've never imagined what would happen, when the line between the two blurred as lightning struck down from the skies, and his escapism fantasy became all too real... After he came to, he would soon learn that things in the other world aren't quite as he remembered them to be. The world he wrote of had become but a shadow of its former self. Albeit hesitant at first, he sets off on a quest to find out the secrets behind the Trails, yet even then, he can't help but wonder... Can he really bring his world back to its old glory? —————————— I have never written a story before in my life and now I'm doing so in a language I don't natively speak. Groundbreaking quality is probably not something to be expected, but I do my best to keep things readable. With the necessities out of the way, both constructive criticism and other suggestions are very much welcome, and I'll do my best to take them into account when writing future chapters.

The cover is commisioned and done by: Artist: FatCatInTheBox ***** Before you lot bashes me up with my English etc., consider this: 1. This is my first novel. First conceptualized and written some 23 years ago. Only until last year that I did some improvisations and improvements to what I had kept in the dusty corner of my room all these while. This story sees the light of the day because I challenged myself, that's all. 2. English is the 6th language that I speak.And in RRL, I'm using British English mostly to write my story. 3. Easier said than done. Rather than subjecting me to subjective comments/reviews about the language, point it out and suggest an alternative. One or two would do just fine. It goes a long way. The Pledge - This story shall continue till it ends properly.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
