Grandpa Universe In Chapter 342: Hope

Alexander had the whole night to himself. So he started studying the knowledge he gained from the fifth-dinsional beings.

It was not easy to understand because it was in a very weird format. There were no words or writings, just images. Even with his a million tis comprehension, it was taking him ti to make progress.

It made him think about how old that fifth-dinsional species was. How many millions of years did it take them to reach that level?

The multiverse was really exciting when he thought this. Anyway, he continued his study. Each image he had received from the higher beings was not just an image but all the knowledge in the one single image.

Just one of them was equal to Zettabytes of data. And there were more than a million of those images. This was the first ti he needed to use his brain so much since his mortal days.

But, he liked it. He rarely faces challenges nowadays after all.

Many hours went by, it was nearly dawn now. But he had a small breakthrough just now. He finally understood what this knowledge ant.

It was a way to uplift your consciousness to a level where you are aware of the past and the future while living in the present.

The easiest part was looking into the past but the hardest was the future because it was constantly changing into many variations. Even your looking into the future can cause limitless variations.

He tried to use this power but was only able to see a few faces in the past. One of them was a weird tree monster, a woman with white hair, three eyes, and a huge toad.

But because of his feeble control, he had no idea how old these images were.

~Well, even though these are baby steps, at least I am moving forward. Okay, it's ti to wake up these little beasties,~ he thought.

He got up and stretched his body. But suddenly he releases the Conqueror's haki at full strength. He turned around and saw a black humanoid thing trying to creep towards the sleeping Shukaku.

Alexander's outburst had shaken Black Zetsu to the core. It had no idea that the old man was this strong. He had not even felt this kind of oppression even when with his mother Kaguya.

~This is bad, he will kill .~ he thought and quickly tried to disappear into the ground.

But Alexander had already thrown his staff turned sword at him. Black Zetsu felt if he got struck with it he would die.

So he quickly threw the nearby sleeping bluebird as a shield. Unexpectedly the sword stopped but not for long. It bypassed the bird and headed towards him. In the end, he was able to enter the ground but without a hand.

The sword was fast enough to sever his arm.

~NO NO NO... who is this man? This changed everything. Madara is nothing in front of him. I need to change my plans.~ Black Zetsu cursed as he kept on going away.

...

Outside, Alexander tried to sense the thing underground but he realized he lost the thing. He couldn't sense if it was even alive.

So he ripped out the ground in a radius of 3 kiloters and 100 ters in depth. But he didn't find the thing.

...

Black Zetsu had used Mayfly to take itself as far away as possible.

Soon he felt the loud rumble in the ground and ca up to peek. He was again shocked upon seeing his strength. He felt like he cheated death this ti.

He then looked at his impaled hand. It was not regrowing anymore. This was not normal as his body was not cuttable.

This brought more fear to him as this ant he could die if his head was cut by that sword.

~Who is he? Why have I never heard of him? Wait, no no... why is he back here? Didn't he disappear six hundred years ago?~

Black Zetsu was confused about why the Sage of Beasts was back. He had thought the man had died. He rembers the sage perfectly because that was the ti he stayed hidden like a rat in sewers because of fear. But he couldn't recognize him quickly because of his long beard and different clothes.

~I was weak at that ti, but now I have the world at my disposal. Maybe if I can take over his body, I can bring my mother back much earlier than planned.~ He excitedly thought and returned to Madara's layers. They still had to do their brainwashing on Obito. The boy had lost all his will to work for them after seeing his friends.

...

Alexander looked at the severed hand left behind. He picked it up and instantly felt sins. Too many sins to count.

Seeing it was an impure thing to even exist. He destroyed it. He then filled the new hole in the ground with water, making a new lake.

He now knew that things weren't as simple as he thought. This world had many secrets that nobody knew. And the oldest people he knew were the beasts so he went to ask them.

He showed them the photo of Black Zetsu that he drew from his mory.

"Kids, have you ever seen this thing? He tried to attack Shukaku in his sleep." Alexander asked them.

All of them had confused faces and didn't know the things. Then Alexander decided to ask them sothing else. He drew an image of the tree-like beast and the three-eyed woman and showed them.

"Do you know these two?" He asked.

Suddenly, all the tailed beasts looked tense. Saiken, being the calst and level headed, decided to answer.

"G-Chan, that tree thing is the ten tails and that lady is Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki. The mother of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Old man Sage of six paths had told us this story.

"There was a tree called the God tree once. A type of gigantic tree that grows by absorbing blood soaked into the ground from countless battles over millennia.

"The God Tree seed landed on Earth from a teorite several millennia ago. It was believed that the God Tree nourished the land and helped it thrive, while in truth, the God Tree was slowly killing the land and its people, by draining natural energy from them. It was believed that anyone who approached the tree was consud by a demon spirit and died like a withered branch.

"Every thousand years, the God Tree produces a "chakra fruit
