"Ding! You have obtained the talent perk [Kekkei Mōra: Natural Integration (Prismatic)]. Do you want to fuse or decompose?"
Half a year later.
In a certain Other Dimension within the space-time tunnel, a massive meteor floated in the air, its terrifying gravity tearing apart the earth, lifting chunks of land—both large and small—into the air, crushing them against its surface to increase the meteor's size.
Then, a colorful beam of light shot out from the meteor, piercing through the land's obstacles like a shooting star, and it penetrated into the body of Izayoi, who was floating nearby, completely unaffected by the gravitational pull.
An emotionless notification sound immediately echoed in Izayoi's mind.
Due to the content of the information, this notification sounded like heavenly music to Izayoi at that moment.
"It wasn't easy, but it finally came out."
Izayoi sighed lightly before making a decisive choice.
"Fuse!"
In the next second, a new colorful perk appeared in Izayoi's personal panel.
From that moment on, Izayoi gained the power to merge with nature and wield its might.
Having already used Ame-no-Tokotachi and having witnessed Kaguya Otsutsuki utilize Natural Integration countless times over the past six months, Izayoi quickly mastered this talent ability.
Izayoi activated Amenominaka and transitioned from the Other Dimension to the Acid Space, then submerged into the Acid Sea.
Immediately, green water, emanating mist, surged like a tsunami, reminiscent of the rising currents in a pirate world, transforming into water dragons that roared with deafening intensity.
In addition to the substantial acid water, the unseen corrosive power also fell within Izayoi's control.
Before long, Izayoi appeared in the Snow Space, where the visible icy ground and the invisible cold air were both under his command.
Using Natural Integration, he became like a god of nature, transforming into the master of the Other Dimension, where everything in the environment became part of his being.
If Kaguya Otsutsuki had more combat experience and was truly one with nature, her true form could have been precisely located by Izayoi using Ame-no-Tokotachi.
Otherwise, Kaguya would have no need to flee; she could simply utilize this ability to leave Izayoi helpless.
After continuously attempting to use Natural Integration, Izayoi did not return to the sealed Other Dimension where Kaguya was trapped. Instead, he left the Other Dimension and returned to the real world, instantly teleporting to the Rouran Ruins where the God Tree was planted, to begin his experiment.
To avoid any accidents, Izayoi still did not engage directly but created a Wood Clone to perform Natural Integration, aiming to merge with the God Tree.
However, it was clear that the Wood Clone failed.
As an entity capable of producing Chakra Fruits that bestow a vast Kekkei Mōra to those who consume them, the God Tree could still be harmed by Six Paths Sage Art or attacks of Kekkei Mōra level, but only if it had not yet started absorbing planetary energy.
As long as the planet was alive, the God Tree would not perish.
No matter how many times it was severed or destroyed, it would regrow.
Once the God Tree began absorbing planetary energy, it could not be harmed or destroyed by any means other than space-time abilities. Izayoi had personally tested this.
Moreover, any damage inflicted on the God Tree would heal almost instantly.
At this point, the God Tree had already bound itself to the planet.
Unless one possessed star-level power, it was impossible to interrupt the God Tree's absorption of planetary energy.
Natural Integration might simply be a severely weakened version of this ability of the God Tree.
As a lower-tier ability granted by the God Tree, it naturally had no effect on the higher-tier power.
Izayoi was not surprised that Natural Integration could not merge with the God Tree; he was merely testing it.
Seeing that the ability was ineffective against the God Tree, Izayoi manipulated the earth to liquefy it, gradually moving the God Tree's position closer to the entrance of the Dragon Vein.
In an instant, the quantity and speed at which the God Tree absorbed planetary energy surged once more.
Then, Izayoi used Wood Release to create a large number of roots underground; this shared ability successfully connected to the God Tree.
The remaining roots extended toward the entrance of the Dragon Vein like tentacles, poking their heads out from the well walls.
"Miketsukami!"
The tentacles transformed into small black holes, releasing terrifying gravity that frantically absorbed energy from the Dragon Vein.
This energy was many times more violent than natural energy; even a Sage Body would suffer significant harm if drawn in.
Even Izayoi's Wood Clone, possessing Six Paths level combat power, could not endure for more than a minute before cracks appeared all over its body.
Even Izayoi's true form, with the Self-Healing perk, would likely not last an hour before sustaining injuries that even self-healing could hardly mend.
There was even a chance that his soul could be affected!
However, after merging with nature, the invasive nature of the Dragon Vein's energy was absorbed, and it could no longer rupture the earth. Instead, it merely created ripples in the liquefied ground, like waves on a lake.
The non-invasive energy flowed through countless branches and surged into the body of the God Tree.
The roots of the God Tree slowly absorbed planetary energy; even though they were near the Dragon Vein, the speed of absorption remained unchanged. They could absorb purer and larger quantities of planetary energy every second compared to other locations.
Izayoi's Wood Release combined with Miketsukami acted like a syringe, continuously injecting liquid into the God Tree, accelerating its growth and fruiting speed.
As a cost, Izayoi only needed to expend the visual power of Miketsukami and the Chakra required for Wood Release and Natural Integration.
These were trivial matters for Izayoi.
After experimenting for a while, Izayoi released Miketsukami and Natural Integration.
Having confirmed that Natural Integration could indeed absorb energy from the Dragon Vein without harm, he decided that the task of assisting the God Tree in energy absorption could be entrusted to the omnipotent Wood Clone.
Not just one or two Wood Clones, but hundreds and thousands of them.
With the help of these Wood Clones, the God Tree, which was already rooted at the entrance of the Dragon Vein, would undoubtedly produce results at an astonishing speed.
After creating a large number of workers to accelerate the God Tree, Izayoi used Yomotsu Hirasaka to return to the Other Dimension where Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed.
At that moment, the green sky and the land filled with rocky peaks and desolate terrain in the Other Dimension had long since become pockmarked and was still cracking, sending stones of various sizes flying into the air, resembling small moons against the backdrop of the sky.
Inside one of those meteors, Kaguya Otsutsuki had once again fallen into a deep slumber, as if merely changing her environment.
Izayoi flew up to the meteor, raised his hand to touch the stone wall, and then activated Natural Integration. His entire palm sank into the meteor, where he used Wood Release to create roots that spread toward the center of the meteor, wrapping around the consciousness of Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed away, and then invoked Miketsukami.
A few minutes later, Izayoi pulled his hand out.
In the center of his palm was a small black hole, similar to the Deva Path.
As the black hole slowly vanished, several red pills appeared in Izayoi's palm.
Immediately, these pills began to inflate like balloons, quickly transforming into four red fruits that floated above Izayoi's palm, defying gravity.
These fruits were crafted from the chakra extracted from Kaguya Otsutsuki's body by the God Tree... Chakra Pills!
