The azure Rinnegan changed at that moment, with nine tomoe appearing one after another. Then, these nine tomoe slowly merged together, forming a unique pattern resembling a kaleidoscope.
“This power is…” Madara Uchiha’s breath hitched. But the next moment, he quickly snapped out of that state, and the nine tomoe once again began to spin in his Rinnegan. He covered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
"...that state just now."
Whitebeard stared at Madara Uchiha with a somewhat serious expression. He had been paying attention to Madara Uchiha all along and had noticed the change in Madara's eyes to the final form of the Rinnegan, as well as the sudden change in his aura.
"That Madara guy." Su Han's eyelids twitched, his expression somewhat strange. Others might not understand, but didn't he? Uchiha Madara had just touched the threshold of a sage in the main world.
Or rather, if he could perfectly control the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he might possess combat power comparable to that of a sage in some aspect.
"...The next evolutionary direction of the Rinnegan?" Su Han's mind flickered. With a thought, he returned directly to the real world.
A long silence fell over the misty space, and all the council members present exchanged bewildered glances. However, they did not discuss anything; some continued to study the plot stars, while others returned to reality to do what they were supposed to do.

Chapter 398 Aizen's Shock and Disbelief (Second Update)
The real world.
Su Han lay on the bed and opened his eyes. After a moment's thought, he closed his eyes again and then opened them once more, his pupils transforming into the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. The tomoe spun rapidly, faster and faster, until they finally connected.
"The Mangekyou Sharingan, as expected... I can do it too." Su Han stroked his eyes. Moreover, compared to Madara Uchiha, who struggled to bear the power of the Rinnegan, Su Han was able to use it with much more ease.
"I have a bit of a headache." Su Han rubbed his temples, his mind a jumble of thoughts. The main reason he was able to condense the Mangekyou Sharingan was that his essence, under the coordination of the unified laws, had also reached the realm of a sage.
However, Su Han was unaware of the further evolution of the Rinnegan before. Therefore, he had kept his Rinnegan at the nine-tomoe Rinnegan stage.
"Of course, I can also use the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan to unleash attacks at the Saint level... but in essence, it relies on a massive amount of energy. Using the Mangekyou Rinnegan is twice as destructive as using the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan... although it also consumes more energy."
Su Han shook his head noncommittally, then activated his Observation Haki to sense the situation in all directions. "Hmm?"
Su Han's expression changed, because he suddenly realized that the world he perceived was much larger than the one he had perceived last time.
"...It wasn't an illusion." Su Han's gaze flickered uncertainly. He drew a circle in front of him and stepped into it. When he reappeared, he was already on the moon.
Raising his head, Su Han narrowed his Rinnegan, observing while using his terrifyingly powerful computing ability to deduce.
"The diameter of the Earth is 1.2 times the diameter of the Earth I measured last time."
Although it may seem like only a 20% increase, that's the diameter of the Earth. When converted to surface area, the difference becomes quite staggering.
"As expected, I guessed right last time! The Earth is not only changing, but also changing over time." Su Han returned home with a sigh.
“Sir,” Friday’s gentle voice suddenly rang in Su Han’s ear, “I have some news that you might find very interesting.”
"Oh?" Su Han raised an eyebrow. "Is that guy Tai Kangzi planning to target the demon race? Is he going to drag out the two demon ancestors?"
Although Su Han has already broken through, evil objects at the Saint level can still provide him with considerable assistance.
"That's not the case. Rather... the frequency of the sky crack phenomenon has been decreasing sharply recently." Friday's voice was as calm and gentle as ever.
“I see,” Su Han said, sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes darting around. “It is indeed good news. But this good news… is a bit strange.”
The frequency of disasters was increasing before, so why did it suddenly decrease?
Su Han's mind raced. After gaining Accelerator's computing power, he found his brain had become extremely sharp.
After all, Accelerator's computing power is comparable to that of a supercomputer, and coupled with Su Han's own logic and creativity... this makes his thinking ability terrifyingly strong.
“There are two possibilities,” Su Han said in a low voice. “One possibility is that the Earth is getting bigger! And the array that protects the Earth is becoming more and more capable of showing its power... effectively interfering with the invasion of evil things.”
"As for the other possibility..."
Su Han fell silent. Another possibility is that it's related to the demon race…
Su Han had already confirmed that the top experts of the demon race had been corrupted by darkness. If the demon race was about to awaken, then given the ability to communicate with the evil forces outside the world... it was perfectly normal for these evil forces to temporarily slow down their progress.
"We still need to be vigilant," Su Han remarked. If it were the first possibility, it might not be so bad, but if it were the second... even for Su Han now, it would be quite troublesome.
"Never mind all that." Su Han shook his head, closed his eyes, and entered the Moon of Cultivation, beginning his cultivation for the day.
After dinner, Su Han entered the Misty Palace again.
...
The mist rises, eternal and unchanging, while countless glittering stars adorn the surroundings, radiating an eerie glow.
"Where exactly is this place?" Aizen frowned deeply as he surveyed his surroundings, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.
Closing his eyes and forcibly calming himself, Aizen asked in his usual gentle tone, "Gentlemen... could you tell me what exactly happened in the Misty Space?"
"Isn't this what's right in front of you?" Madara Uchiha said coldly. "Under the power of the Council Chairman, the Mist Space has undergone another evolution... It should have evolved to... the time period of your universe by now, right?"
"...What?" Even Aizen, with his deep cunning, showed a slight change in expression at this moment.
"Didn't you realize that we're already very close to the universe we live in?" Rukia Kuchiki looked at Aizen strangely.
“That’s normal, isn’t it?” Conan didn’t find it strange. He said softly, “Ultimately, whether it’s you or Aizen… you are Shinigami living in Soul Society, so it’s normal for you to be insensitive to the real world.”
Luo Cuilian looked around expressionlessly. The moment she saw the four sides, she understood what had happened. It wasn't that she was smarter than Aizen; it was mainly because, as a master of martial arts and magic, she also had considerable knowledge of astrology.
"Master, aren't you surprised at all?" Saeko Busujima looked at Luo Cuilian with some surprise. When she saw that magnificent scene before, her worldview was almost shattered.
