Chapter 370 The Sun Chariot Emerges from Seclusion

After reading the last message, Shisei Aburame put away the Den Den Mushi, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I didn't expect them to have changed so much during my seclusion, but it's understandable."

Nothing in this world is static. They are all thinking beings, and each choice leads to a different path. These different paths intertwine and collide to create different worlds.

Therefore, the fact that the world is now completely different is not his responsibility alone, but rather the result of the efforts of people all over the world.

Aburame Shisei stood up, her long hair trailing on the ground.

Two and a half years of silence, like a stone, had subtly changed his temperament, making him more reserved than before.

Even the chaotic insectoid spiritual energy attached to the surface of his body began to become orderly and regulated, constantly shrinking and merging with his body and soul.

At this moment, the increase in his mental strength finally matched the increase in his physical strength perfectly.

In terms of upper limit strength, he hasn't broken through much, but at the lower limit, ordinary killing ninjutsu can no longer break through his defenses.

Not to mention that after he actively activated the Earth Immortal Technique to harden his body surface, his defensive power was probably comparable to that of the Third Raikage when he was resurrected. It would take some effort to break through it.

He dusted it off and saw a body with a faint yellow glow beneath its skin, a sign of deep integration between the body and natural energy after mastering the Earth Immortal Technique.

Clench your fist, release it, then clench it again; the power flows between your fingers like the inexhaustible pulse deep within the earth.

"Your hair's gotten too long, it's time for a trim." Unbeknownst to him, he flicked his long hair, and a whirlwind blew it out, cutting it in half and leaving only his waist and back.

As soon as the remaining hair hit the ground, it was swarmed by other insects, who fought over it, hissing as if saying, "Mine, mine, all mine."

Don't try to take it from me; only I am worthy to eat the Lord's dandruff.

It's the Lord's hair, it smells like the Lord, I want to stick it on...

Yu Nu Zhicheng knew a few idioms, and after understanding the general meaning, he immediately disconnected the connection.

The way it's expressed is too direct, and he can't accept it yet.

He looked around, and in the corner, the earth spider that had been with him for two and a half years was lying quietly, its eight eyes staring at him without blinking.

"You can stay here." Shisei Aburame walked up to the Earth Spider and gently patted its furry head.

The earth spider let out a low groan, "Why should I? I'll just use you and then throw you away. My lord sent me to follow you, and I want to follow you."

Just as Aburame Shiki was beginning to show some emotion, he heard Tsuchigumo say, "I've already begged you so much, what more do you want?"

Sure enough, old habits die hard; you'd better stay here obediently.

Aburame Shisei took out another scroll from his sleeve, unfolded it, bit his finger, and quickly wrote several lines of runes on the scroll. He formed hand seals and infused chakra—*bang*.

As the white smoke dissipated, a figure appeared in the underground palace.

That was the chieftain of the Earth Spider clan, a soul summoned from the underworld by the Impure World Reincarnation technique. He had been staying in a coffin for some time, and because he had been buried for so long, the Eternal City had forgotten where he was buried, so they could only summon him through spirit communication.

"Watch over this place for me, and then you will take the position of Palace Master."

The resurrected Earth Spider clan leader bowed slightly without speaking, but his posture spoke volumes.

Aburame Shisei took one last look at the cave that had been with him for two and a half years before turning and walking toward the exit.

His footsteps were so light they were almost inaudible. But with each step he took, the rocks beneath his feet trembled slightly, as if the earth was responding to his call.

This is the ability of Earth Affinity that comes with mastering the Earth Immortal Technique. As long as he stands on the ground, he can draw power from it, and his stamina is almost inexhaustible.

In addition, it also has the ability to move underground, and its stealth and speed are comparable to the White Zetsu's levitation technique.

The light at the exit is getting brighter and brighter.

As Aburame Zhicheng stepped out of the underground palace, the sunlight shone on him, dispelling the cold and dampness that had lingered for two and a half years.

He took a deep breath; the air was filled with the scent of earth and wild grass, and the chirping of birds came from the distant forest.

Hmm! It seems like nothing has changed in the outside world?

The entrance to the underground palace is suddenly filled with these tents and a whole bunch of people kneeling on the ground. If he remembers correctly, he doesn't think he ever took over any subordinates here.

Outside the underground palace, a man dressed in a white priest's robe was kneeling respectfully at the entrance.

Behind him stood four priests dressed in the same attire, each with a serious expression as if facing a formidable enemy.

But the moment Aburame Shisei emerged from the underground palace, their expressions uniformly changed to awe and fear.

"My lord!" The head priest bowed deeply, his forehead almost touching the ground. "The witch of the Land of Demons has been waiting for you for many years, and has specially ordered us to guard this place and welcome you out of seclusion!"

He vaguely remembered this priest; he was a confidant of the witch from the Land of Demons, and he should have seen him at the royal palace many years ago.

The priests and others looked on with fervor: "The witch says she foresaw a cataclysmic change in the world, and you, sir, are the key to this change. She hopes to form an alliance with the nation you control, or rather... join your ranks."

Aburame Shisei did not answer immediately, but simply said, "Lead the way."

The priest, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, quickly rose and respectfully gestured for him to proceed.

On the way to the King of the Demons' Palace, Shisei Aburame witnessed many changes.

Those once barren lands are now filled with crops.

Smooth roads have been built between the villages, and caravans and pedestrians can be seen on the roads from time to time. Although it is not prosperous, it is more lively than it was a few years ago.

Beetle buses shuttle back and forth on these roads, with huge beetles pulling carriages filled with passengers.

That was a mode of transportation he designed many years ago, and now it has become the standard mode of transportation for nobles in the Land of Demons.

"My lord, it's been a long time since you've appeared. Don't you find it amazing?" The priest began to introduce the item to Aburame Shisei: "This item is called the Sun God Chariot. Not only in our Land of Demons, but almost every noble in the entire ninja world owns one. It has almost become the standard for identifying whether someone is a noble."

It can be said that nobles and merchants who did not have a divine chariot for travel were excluded from the ranks of the powerful and wealthy. Therefore, no matter how expensive the sun god chariot was or how poor their family was, they would still get one in order to make a good impression.

The Sun God Chariot? Isn't this just a Beetle painted with gold paint?

It's obvious that this is another one of Kakuzu's ideas, used to make money.

"Has the invasion of civilization become this serious?" Aburame Shisei murmured.

However, Kakuzu is too difficult to deal with. He has the Sun Chariot, but does he have the Moon Chariot?
