The Ninja World.
Land of Ancestors.
Returning from the Genesis Space with Kaguya, Shishou summoned Momoshiki and Kinshiki and used the same method he had used on Hakuryū to inscribe a curse mark on them as well.
After inscribing the curse mark, Shishou began to learn the Ōtsutsuki clan's alchemy from Momoshiki.
The so-called alchemy of the Ōtsutsuki clan is essentially a technique for gathering energy and refining it into pills that temporarily enhance the user's power. It's not fundamentally different from gathering planetary energy to cultivate a Divine Tree.
The only difference is that alchemy can only temporarily boost the user's strength. Once the energy from the pill is exhausted, the user returns to their original state.
In contrast, the Chakra Fruits harvested from a Divine Tree can permanently alter the user's power level.
This distinction marks the fundamental difference between the two methods.
Momoshiki's motivation for capturing Kaguya was, in fact, to use her in alchemy to gain a portion of the power of a Kekkei Mōra.
This would facilitate his plan to recollect the Tailed Beasts, continue planting the Divine Tree, and harvest more Chakra Fruits.
Momoshiki's alchemy was also tied to his Rinnegan. Without them, he would lose his ability to refine pills quickly.
It was this fast alchemy ability that allowed Momoshiki to rise to the rank of upper-class warrior.
As for the ordinary alchemy of the Ōtsutsuki clan, it required several hours to complete, making it impractical for combat.
After mastering the Ōtsutsuki clan's alchemy from Momoshiki, Shishou tried using Momoshiki's Rinnegan to refine pills.
Once he successfully created a few pills, he asked Momoshiki and Kinshiki:
"Did you leave a space-time marker on that thriving planet you encountered earlier?"
Since Kaguya's relationship with Tsunade and the others had eased, Shishou was no longer interested in claiming Kaguya's Genesis Space for himself.
So, he set his sights on the vibrant planet that Momoshiki and Kinshiki had passed by on their journey.
If he could incorporate that planet into his alternate space, he would have the energy of three planets to cultivate the Divine Tree, potentially producing a second Chakra Fruit.
Upon hearing Shishou's question, Momoshiki replied, "Yes, Shishou-sama."
They had indeed left a space-time marker on the planet when they departed.
Shishou nodded and said, "Then take me there."
He was eager to see how Momoshiki and Kinshiki would return to that planet.
"Yes, Shishou-sama," Momoshiki and Kinshiki responded in unison, moving to Shishou's left and right sides, respectively.
Then, Kinshiki released a portion of his chakra to envelop Shishou and Momoshiki, beginning the process of phasing their bodies into an alternate space.
This ability, derived from his Byakugan, allowed Kinshiki to freely enter his own alternate space and use it to jump to any location in the nearby star system where he had left a space-time marker.
This technique was quite similar to Shishou's Kamui, though it lacked the terrifying spatial distortion attack capability of Kamui.
Nevertheless, it was still a highly convenient space-time transportation ability.
After exiting Kinshiki's alternate space, the three found themselves above the atmosphere of a lush green planet.
Gazing at the green planet below, Shishou frowned.
The planet beneath him was too small, not even a third of the size of the ninja world's planet.
Moreover, he couldn't sense any animal life on the planet, likely because Momoshiki and Kinshiki had killed everything for alchemy purposes.
Additionally, the planet's natural energy was very thin, with the air containing less than a tenth of the natural energy found on the ninja world's planet.
Shishou estimated that even if he drained all the energy from this planet, it wouldn't be enough to produce a second Chakra Fruit from the Divine Tree.
Frowning, Shishou asked:
"How does this planet rank in the universe?"
Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki replied in his deep voice:
"Shishou-sama, this planet is considered good. Most planets don't even compare to this one."
"I see," Shishou nodded.
He finally understood why people like Kaguya, Momoshiki, and Urashiki had set their sights on the ninja world's planet.
Compared to this planet, the ninja world's planet was indeed a superior one.
Shishou then took Momoshiki and Kinshiki into outer space, preparing to try incorporating the planet into his alternate space.
Shishou formed hand signs, and the slit on his forehead opened, revealing a golden Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan.
Then, the Kekkei Mōra chakra within him began to boil, rapidly pouring out to form a thin layer of blue chakra that swiftly enveloped the planet before him.
As the blue chakra membrane fully covered the planet, the golden Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan on Shishou's forehead emitted a dazzling golden light, which shot toward the green planet.
Upon contact with the blue chakra membrane, the green planet instantly disappeared.
At the same time, a new planet appeared within Shishou's Heaven's Authority alternate space.
Shishou then brought Momoshiki and Kinshiki to the green planet within his alternate space.
Seeing their surroundings, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki and Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki were both shocked, clearly not expecting Shishou-sama to possess the terrifying ability to house a planet.
Seeing this, Shishou smiled with satisfaction.
Through this experiment, he finally understood the true extent of his Heaven's Authority ability.
It turned out that his Heaven's Authority alternate space wasn't just a single space; it actually contained two independent alternate spaces, though the second one only activated after he incorporated a planet into it.
In other words, Shishou now possessed two independent alternate spaces—one being his original Genesis Space, and the other the green space he was now in.
These were two separate and independent spaces.
Within these two spaces, Shishou was the master, able to control all the environmental factors using his innate ability.
The green planet he was on naturally had dense vegetation.
This meant that Shishou could now begin cultivating animals on this planet, allowing it to slowly develop into an ecosystem similar to Kaguya's Genesis Space.
However, Shishou had no intention of doing that, as this green planet was too small.
He didn't want to waste an alternate space on such a small planet.
So, he planned to extract all the natural energy from this planet and channel it back into the ninja world's planet to restore the environments that had been turned into deserts by the Divine Tree, creating more habitable areas.
With more habitable land and the increased food production he had been helping the ninja world develop over the years, the planet's population would see explosive growth in the coming decades.
If it could reach the tens of billions like in his previous life, and if all these people learned chakra refinement techniques, he wouldn't have to worry about collecting chakra for the Divine Tree in the future.
He wouldn't have to worry at all.
