Chapter 315 Announcement 4
Hyuga Kanan, seeing Orochimaru staring into his eyes, smiled faintly. That smile seemed to conceal an indescribable amusement, arousing suspicion in Kanan. Orochimaru stared intently at him, trying to decipher more information from that smile, but he could never truly understand its meaning.
“You…” Orochimaru frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with wariness and suspicion. He couldn't help but think of what the other party had just said; they would face a threat even greater than the Sage of Six Paths. More importantly, he suddenly shifted the topic to the 'Will of the World'. However, at that moment, Hyuga Kanan's voice rang out again, interrupting his thoughts.
"Hehe, Orochimaru-senpai, you probably guessed it. Yes, what I'm talking about is exactly what you're thinking. However, I can tell you that this is what you will definitely face in the future." Hyuga Kanan's tone was calm and gentle, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
Orochimaru's expression grew increasingly grim. He stared intently into Hyuga Kanan's eyes, trying to find any flaws or signs of a lie. But Hyuga Kanan's gaze remained unusually calm, like a bottomless lake, utterly undisturbed. Orochimaru, however, was already deeply alarmed. He hoped Hyuga Kanan was merely feigning ignorance, but seeing the look in Hyuga Kanan's eyes, he knew it was real.
"Why? Didn't you say that the world's will wouldn't interfere with the activities of conscious beings? Why did you tell us that we'll face a threat from them in the future! I don't understand!" Orochimaru finally couldn't help but ask. He decided to temporarily put aside his doubts about his own guesses and wanted to hear why Hyuga Kanan was saying this. After all, in this world full of variables, it's always good to know more.
Hyuga Kanan smiled slightly and said softly, "Hehe, Orochimaru-senpai, you should know very well that you tried it back then. Although you were far from being able to make contact, if you continued, you might be targeted by it. There are many other forces and individuals who have tried it to some extent, but when you touch certain taboos, it will not stand idly by."
Orochimaru frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He understood what Hyuga Kanan meant; many people in the world had indeed tried it, such as the Second Hokage. If the Second Hokage had accidentally provoked it, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Therefore, for him to abandon his plan, it must have been because he had come into contact with it and was forced to give up. After all, with the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's talent and abilities, he was definitely stronger than himself.
"Hmph! Can't you just tell me the answer directly? Why are you being so mysterious!" Orochimaru sneered, speaking with disdain. But there was an unnatural look in his eyes, clearly he was frightened by Hyuga Kanan's words.
Hyuga Kanan wasn't angered by Orochimaru's attitude. Instead, he smiled and continued, "Orochimaru-senpai, you misunderstand me. I'm not trying to scare you, but what you think is the truth. After all, it will never tolerate any existence that violates the rules of the world's operation; that would be a threat to it."
Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You mean, the world's will will not allow anyone to transcend the realm of normal humans, and that they might even pose a threat to it?"
“Smart! While the World Will doesn’t interfere with humanity’s normal survival, it will intervene when limits are exceeded—it’s a predetermined procedure. And you don’t need to think of the World Will as too powerful; it’s ultimately just a conceptual existence. Once your strength exceeds the limits of this world, it has no way to deal with you,” Hyuga Kanan replied calmly.
Orochimaru was deeply shocked, swallowing hard, his eyes revealing undisguised surprise and confusion. He never expected that Hyuga Kanan would be so calm and composed in the face of the world's will, as if he didn't take it seriously at all.
This made Orochimaru fall into deep thought: Could it be that Hyuga Kanan has become powerful enough to contend with the will of the world? Or is the will of the world not as terrifying as he imagined? Perhaps it was precisely because he lacked sufficient knowledge and understanding of the will of the world that he developed excessive fear.
As Orochimaru delved deeper into his thoughts, he increasingly realized that his previous understanding of the world's will was somewhat one-sided. He understood that only by truly grasping the essence and laws of the world's will could he find a way to counter it. Right now, he was like a blind man touching an elephant, his understanding of the world's will remaining superficial, unable to grasp its core.
However, Orochimaru was not discouraged. Instead, he decided to work even harder to explore the mysteries of the world's will and improve his own strength to prepare for the challenges that might come his way. After all, the unknown, though terrifying, is also a driving force for progress.
Neji Hyuga, standing nearby, clearly didn't understand the conversation between Orochimaru and Kanan. Although he was quite strong, he was still young and lacked experience and knowledge. Therefore, he didn't understand their exchange at all and could only listen quietly and attentively. He believed that this information would be very helpful for his future and that he needed to master and understand it later.
For a child, this scene was undoubtedly complex and difficult to comprehend. But he knew it was part of his growth, a challenge he had to face. He sat there quietly, listening intently to their conversation, his heart filled with curiosity and doubt. Although he couldn't fully grasp its deeper meaning, he knew it must be related to his future destiny.
Deep down, Hyuga Neji longed to understand more about these secrets. He hoped to find clues from the conversation between Orochimaru and Hyuga Kanan. He believed that only by gaining a deeper understanding of these matters could he better control his future. Therefore, he chose silence, chose to listen, and looked forward to drawing knowledge and strength from it.
Hyuga Kanan took a deep breath and slowly said, "The path of cultivation is inherently full of hardships and dangers, but its essence is actually a path against the heavens. We cultivators attempt to break the limitations of human survival and lifespan, pursuing higher realms and powers. However, the will of this world is unwilling to see us break through these limitations so easily. Therefore, when we embark on the path of cultivation, the will of the world will intervene to stop us, bringing us endless tribulations."
He paused, then continued, "More importantly, once we reach a certain level on the path of cultivation, we will have enough strength to confront the will of the world, and may even be able to seize its existence. Faced with such a threat, the will of the world will naturally not sit idly by and allow us cultivators to grow stronger. Therefore, it will set up various obstacles and trials to ensure that we cannot easily surpass its limitations."
Hyuga Kanan raised his head, gazing resolutely into the distance, and continued, "Nevertheless, we cultivators still yearn to transcend this world and break free from its constraints. To this end, we must constantly strive to cultivate and improve our strength until we can break the limitations imposed by the world's will. This means that our relationship with the world's will is destined to be a fierce confrontation, not harmonious coexistence."
Finally, he concluded, "Therefore, it can be said that we and the world's will are inherently antagonistic. They hinder our growth, while we strive to break free from their constraints. Only through relentless effort and battle can we achieve victory in this competition and realize our goal of transcending the world." As he finished speaking, a resolute light shone in Hyuga Kanan's eyes.
Orochimaru and Hyuga Neji stared in disbelief at Hyuga Kanan after hearing this. They never imagined the path of cultivation could be so powerful, filled with endless challenges and difficulties. However, they were not intimidated; instead, their eyes shone with unwavering determination. For them, power and longevity were their lifelong pursuits. Although the path of cultivation was fraught with danger, they were willing to fight for it at all costs. After all, they knew that only by becoming stronger could they protect themselves and those around them. And in their hearts, there was a powerful enemy—the Sage of Six Paths. They knew that confronting such a formidable foe would require even greater effort and sacrifice. Therefore, they decided to embark on the path of cultivation, constantly improving their strength to meet future challenges. No matter what hardships and obstacles they faced, they would not back down, but forge ahead bravely. Because they believed that as long as they persevered, they would surely achieve their goals and save their world.
Orochimaru stared in astonishment, but his expression quickly transformed into extreme excitement. The path he had pursued his entire life was now clearly visible, and he had already taken the first step. How could he give up so easily because of a little danger? Moreover, there were endless unknowns waiting for him to explore ahead, which thrilled him immensely.
As for the obstruction of the world's will, although they were somewhat afraid, it couldn't stop them from moving forward. Whether it was saving their own world or transcending it, it would become their powerful motivation. Orochimaru's mind was now entirely focused on how to train hard, reach a higher level as soon as possible, and be able to come into contact with the conceptual existence of the world's will. This would allow him to explore more of the world's unknown existence.
Hyuga Kanan looked at the two people before him, and he knew he hadn't chosen the wrong people. Both of them displayed remarkable composure and unwavering resolve, even knowing they were about to face unknown dangers. Only in this way could they have the opportunity to continue growing.
