Whitebeard knew that Madara Uchiha had already met the standard through his own strength. However, he didn't want to rely on his own strength, but rather wanted to take the path of proving himself through merit.
"The moon has already been colonized and developed! In fact, a complete and stable spacetime channel has been established between Earth and the moon... I believe that neither the Ninja Clan nor the Sage of Six Paths ever accomplished such a thing. This is undoubtedly an unprecedented feat."
Madara Uchiha paused briefly, his sharp gaze fixed on Whitebeard, his voice low and deep, "Surprised? Actually, I feel that offering sacrifices to the heavens now is already very late. You are far, far ahead of me."
Madara Uchiha's feelings for Whitebeard were extremely complex. It was a relationship that was neither entirely friend nor entirely foe. It was somewhat similar to Hashirama Senju's, but also different.
Of course, no matter what, Madara Uchiha's own ambition made him unwilling to fall behind Whitebeard...
"Since you've made your decision," Su Han said, his voice calm and indifferent, yet carrying a strange, enigmatic quality.
"That's awesome! This time I'm going to Madara's world to participate in a mission." Huang Rong laughed and clenched her fist.
"Huh?" Kurumi Tokisaki pursed her lips and suddenly spoke up, "Could I participate in the mission tomorrow as well?"
Kurumi Tokisaki covered her mouth. "And I'm curious... is it possible for me to absorb the time of life in the worlds of all the council members?"
“There shouldn’t be much of a problem. Although the laws of different worlds are different, I have enough confidence in the unification of the council,” Sakata Gintoki muttered to himself.
After a brief silence, Rukia Kuchiki looked at Aizen again, "So... Aizen, will you participate in this mission?"
Rukia Kuchiki was testing Aizen.
After all, based on what Aizen said last time, she confirmed that the main reason he didn't participate in the mission was because he was investigating whether there was any evil intrusion into his home world...
Rukia Kuchiki trusted Aizen's abilities too much, and she was also well aware of Aizen's control over the Bleach world... There was absolutely nothing in the Bleach world that could be hidden from Aizen.
That incident happened quite some time ago... Undoubtedly, if Aizen doesn't go this time, it means he may have really touched upon the clues to the evil god... Now, they are continuing to dig deeper.
“…Of course not.” Aizen said softly. He paused for a moment, looked at Rukia Kuchiki, and said with a mixture of relief and coldness, “Kuchiki, you’ve grown a lot since joining the council.”
"However, that's not enough! Please continue... and keep growing."
Rukia Kuchiki froze, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Conan looked at the two of them with a strange expression, feeling a bit of a toothache. Were these two enemies or allies?
It feels like both, yet it doesn't feel like either.
In the end, Conan could only mutter to himself, "It feels like they could have any kind of relationship except for being lovers... Is this the world of the Grim Reapers? It's so complicated."
Su Han glanced at everyone but said nothing. Just as he was pondering whether the day of the final battle was approaching and he should fight two more battles, he suddenly had a premonition.
"……This is?"
After a brief silence, he looked towards the center of the Hall of Mist. There, two chairs were shrouded in mysterious mist.

Chapter 461 Human Information Exposed? Rick's Shock and Panic
Two figures slowly materialized on the bronze chair.
For a moment, silence fell over the Hall of Mist. The council members scrutinized the two newcomers.
"Are those joining the council again, humans?" Huang Rong murmured. A flurry of thoughts raced through her mind, and she was uncertain.
After all, in the past, the council has included beings like Aizen and Gen... Although they have human forms, they are essentially Shinigami and Ultraman.
Ultimately, the fact that the council connects all the worlds is itself a symbol of miracles. Different worlds and different beings all have the potential to join the council... Of course, the proportion of humans in the council also shows that the council leader has a strong preference for the human race.
"Welcome, both of you! I'm Ilya!" Ilya's eyes blinked, and after thinking for a while, she made up her mind. A smile appeared on her face, and her voice was clear and gentle, "Um, if you have any questions about the current situation... you can ask, and I will do my best to answer them."
Neither spoke for a moment. The person on the left was very reserved, his head tilted almost imperceptibly as he surveyed his surroundings. However, compared to the person on the left, the person on the right crossed his arms and appeared much more confident.
She spoke, her voice calm, "Where is this? The Dao Alliance? No! Although those Taoist priests in the Dao Alliance are annoying, they mostly wield the power of magical artifacts. And I've never heard of them controlling this type of magical artifact."
“Other demon races? No, that can't be... Wait, this strange phenomenon, could it be…”
Suddenly realizing something, she fell silent, her gaze turning deep and serious, her body tensing. Could it be... the legendary outsider?
It's highly likely.
The key issue is that she knows very little about the legendary outer world... This was something she stumbled upon while browsing through her treasured historical records after inheriting the position of Tushan Lord... However, the surrounding scenery does indeed match the mysterious and eerie things she vaguely knew about the outer world.
"I don't know what you've come up with, but you've definitely made a wrong connection." Ilya sighed deeply and looked around helplessly.
The current misty space is actually much more magnificent and vast than the original misty space. Stars dot the sky, the sun and moon hang in the heavens, and mist shrouds the entire landscape.
The initial misty space, at first glance, felt like the lair of some super villain... But the current misty space gives the immediate feeling of being in an endless starry sky, allowing one to experience the vastness and magnificence of the universe...
Of course, the current misty space is much better than the original one, but the mist that surrounds us still has a rather gloomy feel, which can easily lead to misunderstandings.
The woman on the right remained silent, simply gazing at Ilya. The one on the left, who had always been very low-key, also remained silent, but his ears were subtly perked up.
Ilya didn't seem to mind and began to explain the mechanism of the existence of the mist space, even introducing the members present one by one.
Finally, she stuck out her tongue a little sheepishly, "Sorry, there are still some people who aren't here right now. I'll introduce them to you when they appear in the Misty Space... and..."
After a brief pause, Ilya's tone became serious. She first pointed to Number Ten, "...This one! You can consider him, a god, right?"
Ilya hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should say that Number Ten was actually an Outer God. But after thinking about it, she ultimately didn't speak.
Although this is almost a universally acknowledged fact within the council, it's still not quite right to say it out loud... and explaining the nature of the Old Ones would waste a lot of time. Let them learn about it gradually within the council.
The figure on the left suddenly contracted his pupils. Although he still didn't speak, his heart was clearly in turmoil.
"...A god?" The woman on the right also fell silent, gripping the armrest tightly.
