In this situation, the sudden appearance of a so-called divine incarnation is just ridiculous, isn't it?
But as more and more concrete information came in, the daimyo began to break out in a cold sweat.
Your mother, is this really true?
Who the hell can sleep at this hour?
The mere thought of such a monster being nearby filled the daimyo with dread, making it impossible for them to sleep soundly.
What if the Daimyo of Yalin suddenly decides to conquer his country? Should he surrender or not?
Not voting means certain death, but voting leaves one feeling resentful, creating an immense internal struggle.
Faced with such an enemy, the daimyo seized the time to unite with each other, just like the Land of Forests and the Land of Ancestors before them, and signed an alliance agreement. They didn't care about past misunderstandings, for fear of being defeated one by one.
However, after these daimyo had been on tenterhooks for a while, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they found that the Kingdom of Hayashi had not continued to expand.
Judging from this, this Yalin daimyo must be a peace-loving person.
Hey, keep the music playing and the dance going!
......
Yalin didn't care about the thoughts of those daimyo; they were just a bunch of turtles in a jar.
Once he has consolidated the current territory of the Forest Kingdom and trained his army, none of these countries will be able to escape.
After dealing with the problems of the other country, Yalin arrived in the country of the ancestors.
The people here did not show much resistance to Yalin's arrival; on the contrary, they expressed considerable enthusiasm.
The arrival of the other country had already wiped out the staunchly loyalists who were determined to resist, and the daimyo lineage had become a mere shell after the death of the emperor.
If the country doesn't have someone capable of taking charge, it might completely fall apart.
In this situation, the arrival of Yalin, an ally who helped the emperor successfully avenge himself, undoubtedly gave them immense confidence.
Even the surviving samurai and soldiers did not resist him and readily accepted him as their new master.
This process was infinitely smoother than in that other country. (六意rVJII~亻尔疤司罒爸)
Yalin was generous, handing over the blueprints for new agricultural tools and waterwheels to local craftsmen, enabling ordinary people to significantly improve their farming efficiency.
This move further enhanced Yalin's prestige; for most commoners who made their living by farming, these new agricultural tools and waterwheels were their second life. Thus, the Kingdom of Ancestors became entirely part of the Kingdom of Forest.
After resolving the issue of public sentiment, Yalin looked up at the towering trees in the distance, his gaze filled with doubt and contemplation.
Next, they arrived at the daimyo's residence. Amidst many apprehensive gazes, they randomly selected a maid named Aino and had her explain the local culture and customs.
PS: Four updates tomorrow.
Volume 1: Chapter 18: White Hair, White Eyes, White Robes
A maid named Aino approached Yalin tremblingly, then knelt down and bowed, saying, "Lord Yalin, what aspect of the Ancestral Capital do you wish to know?"
After becoming part of the Forest Kingdom, the Ancestor Kingdom was renamed the Ancestor Capital.
"No need for formalities. Just treat me as a normal guest who has come here." Yalin was ruthless when facing enemies, but he would not put on airs with his own people. It meant little to him.
Even if negative emotions are needed, finding a few death row inmates would be more efficient.
He pointed to the towering tree in the distance: "Tell me about the origin of that tree."
"Yes, Lord Yalin." Aino breathed a sigh of relief, got up and came to Yalin's side, and after a moment of preparation, said.
"I don't know much about this either. I've heard that the tree suddenly grew thousands of years ago and became a big tree in the blink of an eye."
Seeing that Yalin was still staring at the tree, Aino said, "But there is a terrible rumor about it. It is said that if a person gets close to that tree, their soul will dry up instantly and they will die like a dead tree."
Therefore, neither the people of the Ancestral Capital nor those from nearby kingdoms linger near the Divine Tree.
"There are such characteristics?" Yalin pondered, it seemed that this world was not what he had thought before, just an ordinary Warring States period world.
Beneath the surface of ordinary people vying for territory, there is likely something far deeper. It's just that, with his past perspective, he failed to realize this.
This world seems a bit murky. Was I too ostentatious in openly displaying my power before?
"Thank you for your explanation, Aino." Yalin pondered for a moment, then asked Aino to lead him to the library of the Daimyo's mansion.
Since this tree is located near the Land of Ancestors, there should be specific records of it here.
This country is not particularly powerful, but it has existed for a relatively long time.
Yalin flipped through the relevant information about the giant tree. It didn't describe much useful information about the giant tree, but only emphasized the danger of it.
Anyone who gets close to the giant tree, whether human or other creature, will die instantly at a certain distance, without exception.
Over the years, the number of names recorded has become so dense that it is frightening.
Therefore, the area within a radius of several hundred meters around the giant tree was designated as a forbidden zone.
Aside from those who are truly tired of living, no one dares to approach them and risk their lives.
Yalin stared at the bloody warning for a moment, then got up and walked out of the Daming Mansion, heading towards the giant tree.
"Lord Yalin, don't go there, it's really dangerous there." Seeing this, Aino said anxiously again, reminding him earnestly.
The Emperor's name has already been sacrificed, and if the Ancestor's capital were to lose Lord Yalin, it would vanish in an instant.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine," he replied casually, his gaze fixed on the towering tree as he slowly approached.
He traversed mountains and crossed rivers; nothing could hinder his progress.
When Yalin got close to the divine tree, he suddenly stopped.
"This is my limit. If I go any further, with my current strength, I'll probably turn into nourishment."
Yalin stood atop the mountain, gazing solemnly at the giant tree not far away.
This giant tree was quite eerie, giving him an extremely dangerous premonition that it was something he was definitely not capable of handling at the moment.
Going there now would be certain death!
Yalin took a deep breath and then laughed silently.
Originally, I thought that unifying the whole world would be the end of it, but now it seems that the real test has just begun.
The potential of this world is probably higher than we imagine; we need to become even stronger.
In addition, Yalin discovered that the Demon King's talent actually reacted to this giant tree. Even from a great distance, he could still sense faint emotional signs emanating from the center of the giant tree.
Is this giant tree about to turn into a monster?
"There's no need to worry about the future being too boring." Yalin glanced deeply at the divine tree, then turned and strode away.
The world I live in is anything but ordinary, but I'm not sure exactly which world it is.
The Warring States period was characterized by chaos and slaughter, and there was also an incredibly bizarre giant tree, which he had no recollection of at the moment.
When we gather again next time, we can ask the other Yalins living in modern times to collect relevant information.
Yalin's thoughts drifted, and he soon put the giant tree out of his mind.
He wouldn't waste any more time coming here before he had sufficient strength; it was pointless.
Even though the current gap between the two sides is like that between a firefly and the moon, with his unparalleled talent and his own efforts, he will eventually unravel the secret of this giant tree.
After Yalin turned around, a pair of pure white eyes suddenly opened in the center of the giant tree, watching his departing figure.
......
On his way back to the capital, Yalin was in a bamboo forest when he suddenly felt something and looked up at the starry sky.
A bright white meteor streaked across the top of the giant tree, hurtling towards the land of ancestors.
A comet is falling from the sky; could this be the start of a Warring States period version of "Your Name"?
Wait a minute, after observing for a few seconds, Yalin realized something was wrong. This wasn't coming for the Ancestral Capital; it was coming for him.
Is that so domineering? Just one glance at the giant tree and it's been targeted.
Yalin narrowed his eyes, quickly making up his mind. He couldn't fight them head-on, nor could he run away, otherwise the situation would spiral out of control.
If the being capable of planting that giant tree truly harbored ill will towards him, he would be gone in a flash.
However, this risk is not without opportunity; it is an opportunity for him to gain a concrete understanding of the real world.
Sitting idly by and waiting for death was not Yalin's style. With a change of heart, he activated the Appearance of a Woman in Distress and the Love of a Monster Girl talent, instantly adding a lot of invisible charm to himself, making him quite eye-catching from the inside out.
After giving himself a buff, Yalin stood still, waiting for the meteor to fall.
The meteor wasn't moving very fast, but it was incredibly bright, making it impossible to ignore. Even the samurai and soldiers inside the capital city could clearly see its appearance.
The crowd panicked and rushed to the daimyo's residence to ask Daimyo Yalin for instructions, only to learn that Daimyo Yalin had gone to the vicinity of the giant tree.
This made the samurai feel like they'd been screwed over, and they hurriedly led their men away.
They understood Yalin's importance better than anyone else; if something happened to this great lord, everything would be over.
If Yalin had known their actions, he might have praised their loyalty. But now, looking at the scene before him, his body suddenly stiffened, and he could not move an inch.
A shooting star fell before him, and as the shimmering white light dissipated, a woman resembling a deity was revealed. Her entire body was translucent white.
This was Yalin's first impression.
Her long white hair that reached her ankles, her white clothes that were completely out of step with the style of the era, and her pale skin all spoke volumes.
But what's most striking are those white eyes without pupils, which seem to possess a magical power that makes people unable to resist being drawn into them.
Volume 1: Chapter 19: Kaguya Otsutsuki
Byakugan—this feature reminded Yalin of the Hyuga clan from Naruto.
Could this world actually be Naruto?
That doesn't make sense. If that were true, he wouldn't have seen a single ninja in all these years.
As for the Five Great Villages and the Five Great Nations, they are nowhere to be found.
If he really is Naruto, then the time he traveled through is a bit off.
Wait, this woman looks familiar at first glance?
Yalin searched his mind for relevant information to compare, and after a few breaths, his expression stiffened and he began to sweat profusely.
