Ye Liang carefully laid down the body of Otsutsuki Hakuto, then grabbed some dirt to cover it up.
"Senior! As the ancients say, when someone passes away, the earth gives them peace. I may not be able to do much, but I can at least lend a hand with this small favor.
Of course, rest assured. If one day I truly meet your descendants, I will be sure to pass on this mission to them." With that, he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.
After a while.
After finishing up, Ye Liang returned to the center of the Chakra River.
According to Otsutsuki Hakuto, this river should be the so-called Core of Energy. Whether it was the Otsutsuki's God Tree or the Chakra in the outside world, everything originated from this river.
In other words, if he could take control of the river's energy, his strength would skyrocket to an outrageous level!
But Ye Liang wouldn't do that.
The Chakra River was Earth's source of energy. If he truly absorbed all of the Chakra, Earth would likely die completely, becoming a white dwarf drifting through space.
Without gravity, without life!
After replenishing the energy he had lost, Ye Liang stood back up.
"I never expected I'd become this powerful!" Ye Liang looked at his body in delight. As soon as his Chakra was fully restored, a surge of powerful energy rushed from his limbs straight to the crown of his head, like his skull was about to split open!
This immense power even filled him with unprecedented confidence.
"Maybe I really can defeat the Heart Demon!"
As he was about to leave the cave, he suddenly noticed a round, golden-edged orb in the river. It radiated an extraordinary aura.
Could this be another treasure?
Without thinking, Ye Liang picked up the orb.
Suddenly!
A red hexagram seal abruptly appeared beneath his feet. In the next instant, his figure vanished from the vast Chakra River.
Clang!
The orb fell to the ground.
On its back was a symbol—an eye!
[Tenseigan]!
"Ahh!!!"
Ye Liang was shocked. The next moment, he appeared within a continuously falling spatial passage. There was absolutely nothing here except endless electric currents!
"Hell, I shouldn't have touched it!"
Instantly realizing what had happened, Ye Liang angrily slapped his arm. At this moment, his falling speed gradually slowed, and he landed from a great height onto a grayish-white planet.
"Damn it! Where the hell did I end up?" Ye Liang stared blankly at his surroundings. The spatial passage above him vanished the moment he arrived.
He shuddered involuntarily!
So cold!
The surrounding temperature was at least several dozen degrees below zero! The air was thin, almost impossible to breathe. Looking around, the environment was completely desolate!
Extremely desolate!
Across this vast space, there was nothing but rocks—nothing else. Not even the faintest signs of any structures.
"Strange! Why are there two celestial bodies in the sky?" Ye Liang raised his head and saw two enormous planets. One was the usual sun, while the other was a deep blue planet even larger than the sun!
"Why does this blue planet look so familiar?"
He looked around again, his mouth hanging wide open. "This f***ing place is Earth, right?!"
He immediately realized!
The location he was in was exactly the Moon mentioned by Otsutsuki Hakuto...
"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" Ye Liang cried out in confusion, but the scenery before him was like ironclad evidence, striking him right in the face.
"Damn it! I actually ended up on the Moon! I still need to save the System!" Ye Liang stood there dazed, sniffing the air absentmindedly.
"Is there even air on the Moon?"
He slapped his cheeks and, after a while, finally came to his senses.
He stood up and regained his composure.
"Right! Otsutsuki Hakuto said there were Otsutsuki's clanspeople on the Moon. Although there had been internal chaos, they definitely hadn't all perished. If I can find his clanspeople, I might just gain a chance at survival!"
As soon as he thought of it, he acted. He raised his hand and used Fire Release to project three large English letters high up into the air.
SOS
This is the international distress signal!
Still worried that the people here might be uncultured and unable to understand, he added the Japanese word "Yamete" beside the SOS, mistakenly thinking it meant "save me." He didn't know the Japanese word for "save me"—"Yamete" was already his limit.
After finishing all this, he simply waited in place.
One second, two seconds... he waited for more than half an hour without any rescue showing up. He got so angry his heart felt like exploding! Just then, far away, a flicker of light suddenly flashed upon a rocky mountain.
He immediately felt delighted.
Quickly, he headed closer.
Meanwhile.
Back on Earth, the System was finally captured by Ye Liang's Heart Demon!
The Heart Demon and the System fought for several days and nights, but unfortunately, the System was still inferior. Of course, this was mainly due to her amnesia—many of her powerful functions were now unusable!
"Haha! Finally, I've got my own System!" the Heart Demon laughed out loud, pouring dark aura infused with the Zero-Tails' power into the mouth of the System!
Then,
Taking advantage of the System's inability to resist, he grabbed her collar fiercely: "Hurry up and tell me! Where did that bastard escape to!"
"Hmph! Even if you kill me, I will never tell you the whereabouts of my host!"
The System spat out, gritting her teeth.
Since the dark aura had entered her body, she could no longer return to Ye Liang's body freely. Moreover, her system programs seemed to be constantly disrupted. No matter how hard she resisted, she could no longer control her own body.
"What a shame! Such a beautiful face, yet unable to possess its own will!
Since you're unwilling to reveal where Ye Liang went, then be a good girl and become mine." The Heart Demon had just finished speaking when his pupils suddenly changed!
It was as if he had used Hypnotism—the pattern of his pupils transformed into [Mangekyou Sharingan]!
"Now, go to sleep for me!"
The System froze!
She knelt on one knee before the Heart Demon like a servant: "Master! System Xiaochun greets you." She silently stared at the Heart Demon's face, showing no sign of resistance.
"Haha! From now on, I am Ye Liang! Ye Liang is me!" the Heart Demon burst into laughter.
Half an hour later.
On the Moon, Ye Liang finally reached where the light had appeared.
This looked like a mountain range—probably the surface of the moon. There was still no food here, but a white-haired boy stood at the peak of a mountain.
The light was coming from the boy's hand. There was an object identical to the eyeball Ye Liang had picked up in the Chakra River!
"Whoa! There's actually a chance to go back home!"
Ye Liang quickly rushed over. "Hey kid! How's it going today?"
The boy turned his head blankly. "Who are you? How can you appear here?"
Ye Liang quickly brushed the dust off his clothes, trying to show a kind smile. "Hey kid! I'm Ye Liang. I got sent here from Earth!"
