In the depths of the night, with the aid of the moonlight, the darkness shrouding the mountain is alleviated. In the distance, a woman can be seen running into the forest. Illuminated by the moon, she gradually becomes more visible. Carrying a baby while she holds a pendant in her right hand.
It is evident from her appearance and attire that she has been running for a long time, yet she doesn't stop, even with a baby in her arms. She continues into the forest, but suddenly, she halts as the pendant she holds slowly loses its gleam. This signals that the owner of the pendant is gradually losing his life.
Upon seeing it, she teared up, tightly cradling her baby, and her tears dripped onto her child. After a few minutes, she gradually ceased crying, casting a gaze upon her child. Retrieving a small board from her storage ring—featuring an engraved character on the front and a crest on the back—she spoke, "I know they're following me," while surveying the path she had traversed.
Contemplating how to distance her child from potential danger, she noticed a distant tree. Above it was a hole, prompting her to approach promptly. Upon reaching the tree with the hole, she leaped from her position and landed on a nearby branch. Swiftly checking for any monsters, she was relieved to find the place abandoned.
She looked at her sleeping child with tears streaming down her eyes and whispered, "Baby, mommy will just be gone for a while, okay? Mommy just needs to take care of the bad people."
While tightly embracing her child, she whispered, trying to hold back her tears, "I hope you grow up to be a good child, and our only wish is for you to live a peaceful life, far from trouble and violence."

In an unknown black void, you will see a sphere emitting a fast-flying light in the direction where brightness is visible at the end.
"Will I also obtain the Rinnegan? This happens after awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan," the sphere questioned itself.
"What I remember from my second wish is to have a pure Uchiha bloodline, meaning I don't possess the Senju lineage even if I use Uchiha Madara's body."
"In the Narutoverse, to awaken or obtain the Rinnegan, your chakra must be a combination of Indra and Asura, or you must possess both Uchiha (Madara Cell) and Senju (Hashirama Cell) DNA."
"If that's the case, how did Nagato obtain and use the Rinnegan's ability without possessing the chakra of Indra and Asura Ōtsutsuki or the DNA of Uchiha and Senju?"
"Is it because he has Uzumaki bloodlines, and considering that he witnessed his parents being killed during the war, could it be due to a profound emotional or spiritual awakening?" he asked himself again.
"Nevertheless, whether I acquire the Rinnegan or not, what matters is that I have a pure Uchiha bloodline," he added.
As he pondered this, he approached the light that guided him. Upon reaching the light, he was temporarily blinded by its intense brightness. After a few minutes, the light slowly dissipated, and the first thing he saw was the woman kissing his forehead.
The woman is speaking to him, but in the dim surroundings, he struggles to comprehend. He notices her eyes welling up with tears as she gently touches his face.
For the first time, he becomes aware of the presence of his hands and feet. Raising his left hand toward the woman's face, he is surprised by what he sees.
Uttering words for the first time, he asks, 'Why are my hands so small? 'while gazing at the woman.
Observing this, the woman ceases crying, takes her child's small hand, and presses it against her cheek.
Mike notices this and, bathed in the moonlight, glimpses the woman's face for the first time. It is a stunning and mysterious visage with wise, almond-shaped eyes and hair that seems to carry a hint of celestial magic.

Upon seeing her, he exclaims to the woman, 'She's beautiful. Is she a celebrity? ' Unbeknownst to him, the words he speaks are just baby babble, and the woman smiles upon hearing them.
"Don't make noise, or the bad monsters might get you below," she playfully teased her child.
After that, her smile faded, replaced by a sense of seriousness driven by her strong intuition that someone was approaching. In response to this, the woman reassured her child.
"Baby, don't worry. No matter what, your mama will always protect you," she whispered while cradling her child, standing on a tree branch near a hollow. With the utmost care, she placed her child in the hollow, ensuring their safety with a small wooden board, before heading in a different direction.
As the woman departed, Mike found himself unable to utter a word. The weariness from the rein-transmigration, compounded by the late hour of the night, led him into a deep slumber.

In the middle of the night, in the distance, two shadows were running towards the mountain. With the help of the moonlight, they gradually became visible—clad in dark, flowing robes adorned with intricate blood-red symbols and emanating a malevolent aura. When they neared the edge of the forest, they stopped, and one of them spoke.
"I wonder where that woman is. She runs so fast," said the bald man. Upon hearing this, the other one chimed in.
"Yeah, no kidding," replied the long-haired man. "Imagine, at the late stage of Qi condensation, she runs that swiftly. She might be using a movement technique to speed up her running."
"You've got a point. Even we, at the early stage of the Foundation realm, couldn't catch up with her," remarked the bald man, looking into the dense forest ahead.
"And besides, that's impossible; we're just one realm ahead of her," said the long-haired man. And upon hearing this from his companion, the bald man responded simply
After a few minutes, the long-haired man decided to use Phantom Echo Divination.
Phantom Echo Divination: A sinister divination art that captures the spectral echoes left by a person's movements, providing an uncanny map of their whereabouts.
After using it, he saw where the woman was heading. "Kang Ming, I found her; she's going to the east," he said to the bald man accompanying him.
Upon hearing this, Kang Ming responded, and they both used Shadowstride Acceleration, disappearing into the darkness.
Shadowstride Acceleration: A sinister art that merges the cultivator with shadows, allowing them to move at supernatural speeds by traversing through the darkness.

In the dense forest, a woman ran, utilizing the Swiftfoot Evasion movement technique.
Swiftfoot Evasion: By channeling energy into the legs, cultivators can achieve incredible bursts of speed, swiftly evading opponents and obstacles.
While using it, she noticed something peculiar. The shadows of every tree she passed seemed to bear the images of two people running alongside her. They were on the opposite side, preventing her from changing direction, so she continued running straight.
"Damn, they're fast," the woman muttered to herself.
The three individuals continued running for several minutes, but they eventually came to a stop as their destination revealed a high cliff. The woman halted and looked up at the cliff, and from the shadows of the trees emerged two figures, one of whom spoke.
"You have nowhere else to go, so just surrender," said the long-haired person to the woman. The woman didn't respond but slowly faced them.
"You evil fuckers! I know what you're going to do to me and the people you captured in the village!" she exclaimed angrily.
When she said this, Kang Ming responded, 'We are not as evil as you think; we simply seek a quick boost in our power because it provides a shortcut to higher cultivation levels. In this world, our actions align with a philosophy of survival of the fittest, where we believe that exploiting others is necessary for our own survival and advancement.'"
"Through the help of your life force, our cultivation can be accelerated, so don't resist," Kang Ming said as his hands emitted a dark aura.
The woman didn't respond; instead, she used the dragon's breath on them.
Dragon's Breath: Summons a stream of intense flames from the user's mouth, mimicking the legendary breath of a dragon. The intensity and range of the flames can be controlled by the cultivator.
And because the shadow of the mountain where they were fighting covered them, Kang Ming and his companion quickly evaded using Shadowstride Acceleration.
"They're dodging really fast." She muttered to herself and turned to the large mountain casting a shadow on them. "Maybe there's a way..."
She paused in her thoughts as one of his companions cast the Soul-Devouring Palm.
As it was about to hit her, she used Swiftfoot Evasion and swiftly avoided it.
"That was close," she remarked, but when she looked to her right, a dark claw shape was about to attack her. However, she quickly moved back while keeping an eye on the two dark figures.
"Damn, it's really different when you're up against two opponents with a higher cultivation level, coupled with a terrain advantage," she said to herself while gazing at the mountain."
"I seem to have no choice but to use that," she said to herself while thinking about her child. Quickly, she activated Mortality's Embrace.
Mortality's Embrace: This forbidden cultivation technique allows the practitioner to experience a rapid surge in cultivation within a short period. By tapping into the forbidden energies of life and death, the cultivator accelerates their spiritual growth. However, the price is steep; the technique gradually consumes the cultivator's life force.
