"…Madara, that's really asking for a beating," Whitebeard remarked. However, having spent so much time together, he understood Madara's personality and knew that Madara genuinely meant no harm, so he didn't say anything more.
"Besides this, is there anyone else who wants to participate in the mission?" Su Han's voice remained calm and unhurried as always.
"Count me in," Yato said with a grin. "I've never participated before, I'm a little curious."
"Ahem," Sakata Gintoki coughed a few times, drawing the attention of the council members, and then raised his hand, saying earnestly, "Count me in too!"
Scanning his surroundings and finding no one else speaking, Su Han pondered for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Uchiha Madara, Yato, Zhang Sanfeng, Koka, and Sakata Gintoki will participate in this mission."

Chapter 518 The Shock of the Dragon Team Members? Madara Uchiha's Doubts
As soon as the words were spoken, the mist around the people whose names were called quickly receded, and they disappeared from their original positions.
In the next instant, realistic illusions rose up all around. In these illusions, Xiaoyu was sitting cross-legged before the altar.
The random stars in the sky, the cultivation moon, and the day of the decisive battle simultaneously erupted with dazzling light. They slowly rotated, distorting the void, and a brilliant beam of light shot out from within, disappearing into the surrounding illusion of reality.
The Hall of Mist was completely silent.
“…That’s interesting.” Conan pushed up his glasses, his tone enigmatic.
Whitebeard's expression was somber. He wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and finally swallowed his words.
He had previously sensed within that dazzling light... a presence that he was very familiar with?
"It must be...an illusion," Whitebeard muttered to himself. He didn't think that a powerful figure like the Councilor Apostle had any connection to his world.
Wait a minute... there's another possibility.
Whitebeard suddenly realized something and was startled. He abruptly turned to look at Number Ten, then stared into the depths of the misty space, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "This kind of thing... can't be true?"
"Dad, what happened?" Saeko Busujima keenly noticed the change in Whitebeard's emotions and looked at him with some confusion.
"I think... never mind, if my previous guess is true, then it will be verified later. For now, let's just wait and see." After a brief silence, Whitebeard sighed and said nothing more.
Aizen glanced at Whitebeard with a strange expression, then stared thoughtfully at the real illusion, his mind racing. He muttered to himself, "Interesting."
Aizen had a vague idea of what was going on, after all, he had communicated with Whitebeard before and had also learned Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
Previously, relying on his keen senses, he had detected an aura similar to Observation Haki and Armament Haki within that figure? Of course, Observation Haki and Armament Haki only constituted a small part of it; there also seemed to be an aura of chakra within it…
It contains elements of Haki and chakra, but these two aspects cannot be fully encompassed. Aizen thought to himself, "The Speaker's envoy, theoretically, couldn't possibly be related to the One Piece or Naruto worlds. Because neither of those worlds could possibly produce an existence of this level..."
"However, the aura of power I just sensed is an undeniable fact..."
"After eliminating all the impossible, what remains, though seemingly unbelievable, is inevitably reality..."
Aizen's eyes narrowed slightly. Yes, the only reasonable explanation for the current situation is... that figure just now was very likely the creator of the Naruto and One Piece worlds.
"Then let's see if my guess is true?" Aizen's gaze was deep as he groped for the armrest of the chair.
...
Chen Long's Adventures in the World, Inside the Mysterious Pyramid.
All members of the Dragon Team were present.
The Bull Warrior, with a serious expression, crossed his arms and scanned his surroundings. "Australia actually has such a miraculous place... pyramids! And ninjas lurking in them. It's amazing... I swear, before I actually came here, I never thought that this godforsaken place, Australia, would have pyramids."
“Yes, I always thought the pyramids were Egyptian. But I’ve followed Chen Long around and seen a lot of things! I wasn’t surprised at all when I found out.” The little snake shrugged.
"So, what exactly is Xiaoyu doing?" Parker grabbed the Bull Warrior's sleeve, looking at Xiaoyu with some concern. Xiaoyu was sitting cross-legged quietly in front of the ancient and strange altar, her back to everyone.
Although Parker and Xiaoyu had a disagreement over who was stronger, Chen Long or Bull Warrior, it was ultimately a childish conflict. He and Xiaoyu shared a friendship and naturally didn't want anything to happen to her.
“I’m curious about that too.” The little snake turned to look at Chen Long.
"Well... I think?" Chen Long opened his mouth, organized his thoughts for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay, I'll just say it directly."
"Xiaoyu, due to her special nature, will become a god directly after undergoing a special ritual... and now, she is doing the preparatory work before becoming a god."
A hush fell over the scene. The little snake, the bull warrior, and the others wore strange expressions, hesitant to speak. Even if you don't want to answer, you can't just brush them off with something like that! It's like you're trying to fool them.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Chen Long shrugged. He knew it would turn out this way... Although he was telling the truth, it was still too unbelievable.
In fact, even when Chen Long himself first learned of this information, he couldn't believe it for a long time.
Chen Long's lips twitched, but before he could say anything, his father jumped out and struck Chen Long on the head with two fingers, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Hey, Chen Long! You idiot, if you know this kind of information shouldn't be leaked, then don't just blurt it out."
"Dad...they've already called everyone over, is there any need to hide it anymore?" Chen Long rubbed his head with a bitter face.
"You still dare to argue?" The old man was furious and struck again with two fingers.
Tru looked conflicted. He agreed with Chen Long's opinion, but after seeing Chen Long's fate, he swallowed his true feelings.
"All the members of the Dragon Team! Although they are the same as those in the Starry Sky storyline, these are real people after all." A young voice suddenly rang out, tinged with a touch of emotion.
Xiao Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
There, mist rose, and several figures slowly materialized from nothing. The one speaking at that moment was Gu Xun'er.
"...Who are you?" The bull warrior tensed instantly, somewhat surprised and uncertain. Fortunately, since meeting Chen Long, he had witnessed many incredible things and knew that extraordinary powers existed in this world, so he remained calm.
