With the death of the three Otsutsuki.
And the death of the Kara organization's mastermind, Isshiki.
It can be said that the Empire now has no internal threats, at most an occasional brain-dead ambitious person popping up to provide some fun for the Empire's Holy Soldiers.
The Empire is trending towards stability.
When there are no internal threats.
The Empire's gaze begins to turn towards external threats.
The Otsutsuki clan.
Whether one is willing to admit it or not.
Excluding His Majesty, Emperor of the Holy Empire, the rest combined are definitely not as strong as the entire Otsutsuki clan.
Thus.
The conference hall was full of people.
The first to speak was Konan, holding a document and saying: "His Majesty has entered seclusion. Unless it's a major matter, we need to solve everything else."
Everyone nodded.
All aspects of the Empire are stable. Whether it's the military or the imperial government, there are plenty of talents.
They can share His Majesty's burden to the greatest extent.
Not like ordinary kingdoms.
Where the Majesty needs to personally manage everything.
Let His Majesty strive to surpass everything.
The Empire will be guarded by us together.
"The Empire currently has basically no internal threats. The external threats seem calm, but they are worthy of every one of us paying high attention."
Konan distributed the documents and continued: "The universe is vast; no one knows how many life-bearing planets there are. To put it disrespectfully, the Empire is young."
No one refuted this sentence.
Only by facing weakness can one have the belief to strive to become stronger.
They all looked at the documents.
On them was the information about the Otsutsuki clan known from Kaguya, Isshiki, Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki.
But it was not complete, only basic information.
After all, none of them were high-ranking Otsutsuki.
"Let's not talk about the Otsutsuki clan for now."
"Then, the first question."
"How to explore new life-bearing planets? What should we do when we encounter a life-bearing planet, and how should we treat the life forms on it?"
Konan's words made everyone ponder.
Eat rice one mouthful at a time. Before conquering the Otsutsuki, first practice on some life-bearing planets.
Uchiha Madara crossed his arms and said: "I've been to space a few times. If relying solely on flying, even the closest moon is more than three hundred thousand kilometers away, and the closest planet is tens of millions of kilometers away."
"That's an unimaginable distance."
That's right.
Between planets, between stars, between galaxies.
The distance increases geometrically.
Relying solely on flying, one would die of exhaustion before flying to another galaxy.
If relying on spatial movement, jumps, shuttles, and the like, few people present could leave the galaxy where the Ninja World is located.
Let alone a large force exploring life-bearing planets.
But the Empire cannot rely on just a few strong individuals to support it.
Then the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Holy Soldier units would lose their meaning.
"Can technology solve it?"
Mikoto looked at a few people from the Academy of Sciences.
The Empire's technology plus the Land of Sky's technology allowed the Empire to develop many high-speed flight products.
Such as the Sky Fortress, airplanes, fighter jets, flying aircraft carriers, etc., all of which amazed everyone in the Empire.
"Intergalactic travel, flying is definitely not an option. At least space jump technology is needed."
Meeting everyone's gaze, Orochimaru pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said slowly: "His Majesty once described a spaceship, capable of carrying a large army, performing space jumps or shuttles, sweeping through major galaxies."
Spaceship?
Everyone understood this term.
After all, the Empire was trending towards modernization. Movies, literary works, games, etc., all had a great explosion of fantastic ideas.
There were science fiction works.
Spaceships were often mentioned.
Jiraiya was dumbfounded: "Is the Academy of Sciences that powerful? Is there any technology that can kill me? If so... please be sure to keep it safe."
"..."
Orochimaru couldn't be bothered with Jiraiya and continued: "The spaceship and the Spirit Core/Weapon are currently just frameworks, requiring a lot of time to complete."
Spirit Core/Weapon!
Mentioning the Spirit Core/Weapon.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
That was a terrifying weapon that could destroy the souls of all living beings over a large area, yet caused no damage to anything other than souls.
It was a soul purification weapon.
Hashirama was curious: "How long will it take to complete the spaceship?"
"Under normal circumstances, at least fifty years, at most... no upper limit."
Seeing everyone's eyelids twitch, Orochimaru said forcefully: "Technology is not science fiction, you can't have it just by thinking."
"My Phantom Creation is not enough to create things I cannot understand. Currently, there is too little data."
"But!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
Orochimaru looked at Orochihime: "Little sister's ability can improve research efficiency. If there are no accidents, it can be developed within ten to twenty years."
"I can perform deductions."
Orochihime said simply.
Schrift: Deduction!
Not the kind of prophecy, predicting fate.
No fixed ability characteristics.
Combat: Can deduce all possible means and powers of the opponent and deal with them accordingly.
Learning: Can deduce and supplement the most suitable content for understanding based on materials, and imprint it in memory for continuous deduction.
Scientific Research: Can deduce countless possibilities of evolution and development of things, then choose the best and evolve to the limit.
"At least a dozen years?"
Everyone didn't think this time was long.
A dozen years is a safe period.
After all, if the Otsutsuki clan sends people again, they would still be investigating the reasons for the disappearance of the trio and duo.
It's impossible for the whole clan to descend directly.
With various factors added, if waiting for the whole clan to descend, it might take up to a thousand years.
The Empire also couldn't waste all its time on the Otsutsuki clan.
They could develop while getting stronger.
And explore new worlds.
"This concubine knows the coordinates of several life-bearing planets, recorded back then..."
Kaguya's words attracted the attention of the whole audience, only to hear her continue: "While everyone is diligently studying spatial spiritual techniques and the Academy of Sciences is working hard on developing spaceships, this concubine can take a group of people to other life-bearing planets to take a look first."
"To accumulate some experience for the Empire."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Everyone was interested in other planets.
After all, after so many years, everyone had basically been to all the places they could go in the Ninja World.
Places they hadn't been to, they weren't interested.
Other planets were full of the unknown, a sense of novelty.
Kushina immediately raised her hand, full of interest: "Sister Kaguya, I'm the first to sign up. I want to go, I want to go."
Her fame spread throughout the Empire.
It's time to announce her arrival in a new world.
Kaguya chuckled lightly: "No hurry, wait for the Empire to stabilize for another two years. Most importantly, we need to report to His Majesty."
Everyone nodded.
A large force crossing planets is definitely a major matter.
Must be reported.
Kaguya continued: "There is a major problem, the languages of the planets are different, communication is troublesome."
Language barrier?
Everyone was stunned, not having considered this problem.
If two planets have language barriers.
Then three, thirty, will be even more so.
Tsunade clenched her fist domineeringly: "Fists are the hard truth. I take them down, then they must speak my language, otherwise they are heretics."
However, Minato said respectfully: "His Majesty is truly far-sighted, having thought of this point early on. That's why in the first year of the Empire, he established a main language and promoted it extensively."
"The main language is set."
"In the future, no matter how many planets, how many worlds, how many races, they must all speak the main language."
"That's much more convenient."
Everyone couldn't help but admire the secluded Lucian.
His Majesty has great wisdom.
Lucian: Finally understood.
Schools everywhere were built a few years ago.
The former Ninja World, besides the schools of major clans and large ninja villages, had basically no education-related industries.
Resulting in.
Many illiterates in the Ninja World.
Too many who couldn't read.
So the Empire carried out a literacy campaign, mainly starting with the new generation.
In these years, the Empire carried out some more reforms, the biggest of which was: language!
Strong people?
Do as they please!
Since the Empire had many illiterates and was established by Lucian, why not write the Empire into a form he liked.
Popularizing Chinese is what Lucian likes.
Do what you like, as you please.
The first batch of post-2000s in the Empire, also the children of the first decade of the Empire.
What they learned in school and in the army was all Chinese.
The main reason.
Different planets, different worlds, different races.
There will definitely be language barrier situations.
"Can you imagine that scene of me saying something, you saying something, all kinds of gibberish that no one understands?"
Lucian firmly put an end to this situation.
To avoid the language becoming chaotic and disorderly after conquering many worlds in the future.
A main language must be determined.
What is a main language: The main language that all citizens of the Empire must know.
After all, there will be many worlds.
Can't always have me saying my thing, you saying yours.
Determining the main language.
Lucian didn't need to think much.
Only Chinese is the most suitable.
Those soul transmigrators, Lucian doesn't care.
But Lucian physically transmigrated.
Physically transmigrated.
Hard to forget China.
Chinese is the most convenient.
"To be able to create such profound and extensive characters, His Majesty's talent... this concubine is far inferior."
Mentioning the main language, Chinese, Kaguya always sighed with emotion.
This concubine has read hundreds of thousands of books.
Thought I was wise enough.
But compared to His Majesty, the gap is too far.
Lucian: Don't think too much, I'm not qualified to create Chinese.
Lucian didn't explain.
So many worlds, maybe one day he'll encounter a world where the main language is Chinese.
Then they will understand.
Chinese is far more profound than imagined.
For example.
"Damn, Yahiko's Chinese characters are so beautifully written?"
Glancing at Yahiko writing Chinese characters on the side, Kisame blurted out "Damn".
Yahiko rolled his eyes: "How many times have I told you, read more books, don't just say 'damn' all the time. No culture, you know?"
Kisame's expression was embarrassed.
Is it wrong?
"Damn" has been a hot word for two years.
Popular in the Empire.
"..."
Kakuzu held back the word "damn" and coughed lightly: "Then what should I say?"
Before Yahiko could speak, White Zetsu said lightly: "It should be: Yahiko's Chinese characters are awesome, amazing 666."
Everyone: "..."
White Zetsu is such an idiot!
Time flew by.
Another two years passed.
The popularization of the main language, Chinese, went a step further.
At least the new generation all speaks the main language. With the passage of time, it will be fully and thoroughly popularized.
In a room in the Pure Land.
Lucian opened his eyes, a hint of pleasant surprise flashing.
"So that's it. My previous methods were too troublesome and extremely difficult to achieve..."
"The Hōgyoku that crossed countless space-times, absorbed who knows what, is no longer the one in my memory."
"Its power has no limit."
In these years, Lucian had been trying hard to explore new worlds, truly new worlds.
He was at his wit's end.
But the Hōgyoku gave Lucian a great surprise.
He was also confused.
How could he look at the Hōgyoku with his original eyes?
Can the Hōgyoku jump from the Bleach world to the Naruto world?
Of course not.
Those are completely different dimensions.
But influenced by some great power, it crossed layers of space-time and fused with Lucian.
This Hōgyoku is no longer that one.
Just the name is Hōgyoku.
It can be understood as, materialized, a system completely controlled by Lucian!
An alternative version of a system.
Now it is fully activated.
An alternative version of a system is not quite right. It should be a supreme treasure that has absorbed and recorded the data of countless space-times, influenced by some unknown great power.
The name Hōgyoku,
Is not worthy of it now!
Divine Jade? World Stone? Space-Time Bead?
"Well, the name is not important."
Lucian knew he was bad at naming.
The specific level, Lucian was not clear.
But at this moment, he had only unveiled a small layer of the veil.
That small layer.
Was enough to amaze Lucian.
Most importantly.
Lucian discovered today.
The Hōgyoku: recorded the space-time coordinates of all the worlds it had ever crossed.
Countless complete world coordinates!
And has the ability to assist Lucian in opening them!
"A supreme treasure that has crossed endless space-times and evolved countless times, I underestimated you..."
Lucian looked at the glowing gem in his hand.
The fully activated gem, from the original purple-black, turned into a sacred color, an indescribable golden-white.
"Rather than the Hōgyoku evolving countless times."
"It's more like some supreme treasure absorbed the Hōgyoku's ability."
Lucian thought so.
This should be the correct explanation.
When the supreme treasure crossed space-time, it passed through the Bleach world, passed through the Hōgyoku.
Absorbed it, or learned its ability, and evolved it on its own.
Yhwach's ability was also evolved.
What Lucian inherited was not the Hōgyoku and Quincy.
But.
At that time, he could only inherit these basic things.
Now, it is officially activated.
With countless powers waiting for Lucian to inherit, fuse, and sublimate.
"What a surprise."
Having this supreme treasure saved Lucian a lot of trouble.
A top-tier supreme treasure containing the Hōgyoku's ability.
Its power, because it is too tyrannical, has self-sealed who knows how many layers.
The first layer Lucian unlocked.
Is enough for now.
"Hō..."
Lucian just said "Hō," and the gem trembled slightly.
Doesn't like this name after unsealing one layer?
Should it not be called this name?
"Since it might be some supreme treasure that absorbed the Hōgyoku's ability, let's call it..."
"Dimensional Jade."
Whether it sounds good or not.
Lucian decided so.
Anyway, it is countless times stronger and more comprehensive than the Hōgyoku.
"Now, help me..."
"Open the world passage!"
Lucian randomly chose a world coordinate recorded by the Dimensional Jade.
Poured in energy, aimed at the world coordinate.
"Failed?"
Seeing the coordinate not light up and no space passage, Lucian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then he suddenly realized.
It seems the world he just experimented on is very strong, very strong.
Not one he can open at present.
"This is also good. If too strong and cannot be opened, then step by step..."
"Sooner or later, I will open them all."
Next.
Lucian experimented with dozens more world coordinates. Some had a reaction, but no space passage.
No hurry, Lucian has plenty of time.
Hum!
When a world coordinate lit up.
When a space-time passage appeared.
All of Lucian's hot blood began to boil.
The heavens and myriad worlds, I am coming!
"Send a clone to try first..."
Being cautious, Lucian sent a clone.
But Lucian was not too worried.
Since he could open this world passage with the Dimensional Jade, it proved this world was not too terrifying.
Although the Dimensional Jade had no clear consciousness.
But it had been protecting him instinctively.
The world opened must be suitable for the current Lucian.
"Entire Empire, prepare for war."
Lucian's words swept through the Imperial Capital, startling Hashirama, Madara, and the others, then their blood boiled.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After finishing, Lucian's clone entered first.
"New world, I am coming!"
