The pale golden spatial passage slowly closed in the Origin Space.
Shun suddenly appeared, his gaze falling on the God tree sapling. "Kaguya, I plan to plant the God tree on the Nameless Planet. It's rich in natural energy and most suitable for the God tree's growth."
Upon hearing this, Kaguya frowned slightly. "I've been to the Nameless Planet. Although it has a lot of natural energy, much of it has been consumed in recent years. After the God tree is planted, it will continuously absorb the planet's natural energy. It's already over thirty meters tall, and when it fully matures, it will reach a thousand meters. If the planet can't bear it, the entire planetary ecosystem will collapse."
Shun had already considered this issue. He raised his hand and conjured a pale golden star map, with countless planetary phantoms slowly rotating within it.
"I plan to recreate several life planets to generate stable natural energy. At that time, I'll transfer a portion of those planets' natural energy to the Nameless Planet, which will be enough for the God tree's consumption."
Watching the flickering planetary phantoms in the star map, the worry in Kaguya's eyes gradually dispersed.
She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Shun, what do you plan to do with Isshiki's Kokugan? It contains Isshiki's origin rules, it would be too much of a waste to discard it."
Shun paused, his tone thoughtful. "I haven't decided yet. Destroying it would be a pity, but I haven't thought of a suitable use for it temporarily."
"Why don't you absorb it yourself?"
Kaguya's expression became much more serious. "Isshiki's Kokugan possesses vast Chakra, the power of rules to grow larger and smaller, and fragments of spatial and temporal rules. If you consume it, you'll not only gain a large amount of energy but also comprehend its inherent rules, which will be very helpful for you to get stronger."
"However, before consuming it, you must first transplant this eye and retrieve all the items from its Alternate Dimension. There are many of Isshiki's secret treasures hidden inside."
Shun's eyes lit up. This was the best way to handle it.
He took out the nutrient tank sealing the Kokugan from his storage scroll. A black-gold glowing eyeball lay quietly within it.
"Alright, I'll go to the Nameless Planet now to handle it. I'll first feed Isshiki's remaining body to the God tree, then arrange it. The planetary consciousness there will cooperate with my plan."
A moment later, Shun arrived at an uninhabited island on the Nameless Planet.
The island was surrounded by a clear blue sea, covered with towering ancient trees. No sounds of human activity could be heard, only the lapping of waves against the reefs. This was his territory, every inch of land was under his control.
He first took out Isshiki's corpse from his storage scroll and fed it to the God tree sapling.
Buzz...
The God tree sapling suddenly erupted with a strong luminescence, and its roots rapidly extended.
The tree trunk, originally over thirty meters tall, grew at a visible speed. Its branches continuously stretched, increasing from an initial dozen or so to several dozen. Its leaves also became larger and greener, with faint golden edges.
In less than 10 minutes, the God tree had grown to over sixty meters tall, its trunk requiring four people to embrace, emitting an even more powerful aura.
"It's indeed growing very fast."
A hint of surprise flashed in Shun's eyes.
He then took out the Kokugan, condensed Chakra on his fingertip, and gently pressed it onto the eyeball.
As Chakra was injected, the Kokugan suddenly burst forth with intense light, and a distorted spatial rift opened before him. Within the rift, countless phantom items could be vaguely seen. He reached his hand into the spatial rift, continuously retrieving items from within.
Dozens of giant black cubes were stacked on the beach, each emitting a suppressive energy. These were the cubes that Isshiki had previously used.
A black seal lay quietly on the ground, inscribed with ancient Ōtsutsuki runes, possessing the power to seal time within it.
Tens of thousands of black rods were also scattered nearby, specially made from Yin and Yang Chakra.
After retrieving all the items from the Alternate Dimension, Shun put away the Kokugan and turned to look at the God tree, which had grown to over sixty meters.
He cleared a spacious area in the center of the island and reinforced the ground with Yin-Yang Release, forming an energy array with a diameter of a hundred meters, and then manipulated the God tree to slowly move into the array.
Nourished by natural energy, the God tree's roots rapidly extended underground, embedding themselves into the array's nodes, and the golden light on its leaves became even brighter.
Just then, the island began to tremble slightly.
A respectful yet anxious voice echoed in Shun's mind. "Master, this sixty-meter-tall God tree is absorbing a large amount of planetary energy. If this continues, my main body will be damaged."
Shun calmly responded, "Hiroto, don't be nervous. I've already planned to recreate several life planets, and in the future, I will transfer the natural energy from those planets here."
"Furthermore, from today onwards, the Nameless Planet will be renamed 'Ancestral Star.' It will become the core of all my territories. You only need to provide energy to the God tree without affecting the planet's operation, and your main body will never be harmed."
The voice in his mind instantly fell silent.
A moment later, Hiroto spoke with an excited and respectful tone, "Thank you, master, for the name. Hiroto will not fail to meet master's expectations. I have already sensed the star map you planned. I will now control the energy output according to your requirements, ensuring that it neither affects the planetary ecosystem nor hinders the continued smooth growth of this sixty-meter-tall God tree."
As Hiroto's voice faded, the natural energy around the island began to converge orderly towards the God tree, no longer as chaotic as before.
The sixty-meter-tall trunk of the God tree swayed slightly, new branches grew from both sides, and the energy patterns on its leaves became clearer. Even tiny energy light points could be seen flowing between the leaves.
Shun watched this scene, a sigh of relief in his heart.
The God tree growing from over thirty meters to over sixty meters marked the successful completion of the first step of planting, and the core status of the "Ancestral Star" was officially established.
Next, he only needed to create life planets as quickly as possible to support the God tree's continued growth.
He turned to look at the black cubes and the seal on the beach, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"These things aren't needed for now, I'll seal them. After dealing with the life planets, I'll study these secret treasures left by Isshiki. Perhaps I can find more Ōtsutsuki secrets from them, adding more safeguards for the God tree on the Ancestral Star."
Shun raised his hand to form a hand seal, and a pale golden Fuinjutsu covered the items, then he stored them all in his storage scroll.
Having done all this, he looked up at the sky, his golden Six Tomoe Rinnegan glowing, and the surrounding planetary phantoms flashed in his eyes.
Then, he flew into the Universe, in front of several planets suitable for modification, carefully evaluating the difficulty of planetary modification.
Next, he began to search for a large number of ice meteorites to create the water needed by organisms.
