Chapter 319 - Chapter 319: Baixuan's Invitation — Freedom Under Constraint

"Would you be interested in coming to my world?"

Baixuan looked at Uchiha Ten, his tone calm as he asked.

"What do you mean?"

Uchiha Ten stared at Baixuan in astonishment.

Not only Uchiha Ten — Tony Stark, Uchiha Madara, Whitebeard, and the others also looked at Baixuan with similar surprise. None of them had expected Baixuan to invite a transmigrator to come to his world.

Even though there were two transmigrators in the chat group — Baixuan and Su Yunqing — for them, transmigrators themselves represented a kind of unpredictable danger.

Even without a System, no one could estimate what kind of trouble a transmigrator might cause in their world.

"Having a fixed future is rather boring for the world. After I've seen the outcome I want, I won't feel the need to change anything."

The moment he saw in the Book of Ages the future he imagined and most hoped Earth's civilization would have — after confirming that — he would no longer want to change it.

He would then act in accordance with the Book of Ages' predicted movements of his future self.

Because only he — only the master of the Book of Ages — could alter the fate predicted by the Book of Ages.

But if he acted according to his future as predicted in the Book of Ages, then was it him creating the future, or the Book of Ages creating the future?

That was not the result he wanted.

If that was the case, then he would simply add to this world a person the Book of Ages couldn't predict — forcing the world's future to shift from singular to plural.

Unlike him standing outside the world observing it, Uchiha Ten — as a transmigrator — would participate directly in the world, making its future far more variable.

"If you're unwilling, I won't force it."

"Morgana also asked whether you'd like to join the Demon Civilization. If you're interested, just say so."

Although he had the idea, Baixuan was not set on Uchiha Ten specifically.

In future missions, transmigrators would never be in short supply.

Moreover, the world of Kasumigaoka Utaha had a ready-made one available.

If that truly failed, he could even artificially create transmigrators — or even "reborn ones"!

"Morgana?"

"Never mind, never mind."

Uchiha Ten hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

While he did like Liangbing's appearance and personality, there was no way he could join the Demon Civilization.

And the future of the Super God Universe was too chaotic.

The moment Holy Kai'Sa died, every sort of monster crawled out. After Holy Kai'Sa's death, Death God Karr began all manner of experiments and schemes — Ye Hua, Sumali, God knew what he was planning.

Even if Morgana joined a cross-world faction and grew stronger quickly, there was no guarantee she could suppress the entire Super God world in a short time.

Besides, freedom and decadence were not what Uchiha Ten liked.

In his view, freedom meant freedom under proper constraint — not doing whatever you wanted, acting without restraint, doing whatever came to mind.

Perhaps it was because he'd only just transmigrated and hadn't yet experienced anything that could change his previous-life personality — but for who he was now, the demons' philosophy didn't match his own.

By comparison, Baixuan's world appealed to him more.

He knew most spiritual energy revival worlds had a modern setting.

"Does your world have Huaxia?"

Uchiha Ten looked at Baixuan, a faint hint of anticipation visible in his Sharingan.

Compared to Naruto or One Piece, he preferred his previous life's world — preferred the nation of Huaxia.

It might have its shortcomings, but no country in the world was perfect.

A massive population was destined to produce some bad apples.

But at least, they had done their best to hide those people in sufficiently deep corners, keeping those dangers as low as possible.

He didn't know why Baixuan would invite him to his world — there must be some deeper meaning he wasn't aware of.

But he didn't care.

In such a short time, he'd already experienced death, transmigration, the System, the System and the world's Will fighting each other, the System being stripped away — a whole host of things. He felt that no matter what else he encountered, it wouldn't affect his emotions anymore.

"Yes."

Baixuan nodded.

"Alright, I'll go."

The moment Baixuan finished speaking, Uchiha Ten agreed without hesitation. Baixuan's fingertip then pressed against his brow, and a flood of information poured into his mind.

Having lived two lifetimes and already activating the two-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Ten's spiritual energy was already far beyond ordinary. He quickly absorbed and understood all the information.

Then, Uchiha Ten wore a strange expression.

Spiritual energy revival, awakenings, other creatures each undergoing their own mutations.

These were still normal pieces of information — but what came after?

Devil Fruits, Imperial Arms, Five Element Suits, Kamen Rider transformation devices, Sacred Beast Spirits, Clow Cards…

Were these things that belonged in a proper spiritual energy revival world?

Although the information Baixuan gave him indicated these were all things he had created, he didn't quite believe it. He suspected this "creation" was a lie Baixuan had fabricated to hide the fact that he'd joined a cross-world organization like the chat group or God of Creation's Space.

These were genuine products from other worlds!

But if that was the case, this man was terrifying beyond measure.

Devil Fruits and Imperial Arms were still acceptable. Other than Decade and Zi-O, he could accept the other Kamen Riders.

But Five Element Suits? Sacred Beast Spirits? Clow Cards?

The Five Element Suits' settings were derived from the Armor Hero universe's Heavenly Dao — suits not only with no upper limit, but also possessing transcendent, reality-bending power.

When the five elements merged as one, they could become the Emperor Armor.

The Emperor Armor's settings versus Zi-O Demon World's settings — fans had argued about that endlessly. But Zi-O Demon's settings had people comparing it to Zeno from Dragon Ball, even arguing Zi-O Demon was stronger than Zeno.

Regardless of whether that was actually true, its value was certainly not low. The Emperor Armor's value couldn't beterrible either.

So even if the Five Element Suits were somewhat lower in value, they couldn't beterrible by much!

As for Sacred Beast Spirits — never mind that the anime was adapted from a comic with significant character changes — the settings of the Sacred Beast Spirits themselves hadn't changed.

They were Nuwa's creations, each possessing different abilities.

To some extent, that was also transcendent, reality-bending power.

And then there were the Clow Cards — creations of Clow Reed.

How powerful was Clow Reed?

In the same-background work Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Clow Reed was described as having surpassed dimensions — a single thought could break the laws of the multiverse, distorting the very fabric of multiple universes.

Although there might be some exaggeration in his power scaling, since Clow Reed never actually demonstrated corresponding combat ability. In fact, more people believed he couldn't even destroy a single planet.

He possessed the ability to shake dimensions, but he himself couldn't withstand the cost of doing so.

For fate, he seemed to have foreseen it long ago — yet had no desire to change it.

He believed everything was predestined, that he shouldn't actively interfere.
