"Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Xun'er! I am Miss Chen Xiaoyu's close friend." Gu Xun'er bowed politely, just like an elegant lady. Even though she was still young, she still had an extraordinary charm.
"A young lady exuding an air of nobility," Chen Long remarked, then looked at Xiao Yu with a hint of helplessness. He was a little puzzled; Xiao Yu and Gu Xun'er seemed like completely different types of people. How did they become Gu Xun'er's close friends?
Sakata Gintoki picked his nose, gazing at the group of people in front of him with considerable interest. "...Living members of the Dragon Squad. It's a pity that Shendu is dead, otherwise I really want to see that dragon with my own eyes...I just don't know where the twelve talismans of this world are."
"The power of the talisman is beyond imagination... If only I could hold it in my hand," Sakata Gintoki murmured.
Zhang Sanfeng glanced calmly at Sakata Gintoki, inwardly sighing at Gintoki's wild imagination.
Even if the talisman is in the hands of the protagonist's faction, it will definitely end up being taken by Xiaoyu... Not to mention, according to information he obtained from a conversation a long time ago, the talisman seems to have mysteriously disappeared after the Holy Lord's mission ended... and it still hasn't been found...
Madara Uchiha's expression remained indifferent. He turned his head and scanned the council members one by one, finally fixing his gaze on Su Han's body.
After scrutinizing him repeatedly, he was certain he had never seen Su Han before. A strange glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked, "Sir, may I ask... who are you?"

Chapter 519 An Existence Similar to a Demon God? Naruto & One Piece: Maki Kaito!
Yato's eyebrows twitched, and he turned his head to look Su Han up and down.
Su Han maintained a human form, but his body was surrounded by nine-colored light.
He was like a celestial being descended to earth, possessing an otherworldly quality. Yet, he also had the majesty of a deity, with an inexplicable power flowing through his every move, naturally becoming the core of this world.
"Which deity are you?" Zhang Sanfeng asked earnestly after a moment's thought.
“No,” Su Han said calmly, “I am a being similar to that guy Yao… I once served as the shepherd of two worlds, codenamed Naruto and codenamed Pirate King. You can just call me the God of the World.”
After a brief silence, Madara Uchiha's expression changed drastically as he stared at Su Han in disbelief.
Codenamed...The world of Naruto?!
The name was so striking that he realized almost immediately that the World God was referring to his world.
"The creator god of my world... or rather, the incarnation of the creator god," Madara Uchiha murmured to himself, his heart surging with emotion, unable to calm down.
Although he had imagined meeting the creator of his world... Madara Uchiha never expected that the actual meeting would take place under such circumstances...
“You’ve misunderstood.” Su Han glanced at Uchiha Madara. Even without using the special power of the mist space, he could see through Uchiha Madara’s thoughts.
After a brief pause, Su Han's voice remained as composed as ever, "I am a Shepherd of the World, which means... I did not create this world; I am merely guarding it."
Su Han's words were all true. After all, the origins of the One Piece and Naruto worlds had been merged with the Mist Space, and wasn't he using the Mist Space to protect both worlds?
However, to many, these words carried a different meaning.
After a brief moment of thought, Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly. "I see... It seems that the one who created the world is indeed the one sitting high on the bronze throne."
After a sigh, Zhang Sanfeng stared intently at Uchiha Madara. "I'm a little curious... now that you've confirmed this, how do you plan to treat the council chairman when you return?"
After a moment of silence, Madara Uchiha said softly, "Treat them the same way you treated them before. After all, I expected this to happen!"
"Alright, let's leave this topic here for now." Gu Xun'er subtly interrupted, turning her head to gaze intently at Xiao Yu. "Next, you will begin the ritual to worship Heaven."
“Of course I know about this.” Xiaoyu waved her fist. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to the front of the Book of Time, put her hands together, and bowed deeply to the Book of Time. “Wish me luck.”
Taking a deep breath, Xiaoyu slowly walked up to the altar. She sat cross-legged at the top of the altar, glanced at Su Han and the others, made up her mind, and began the formal sacrifice.
Chen Long looked up at Xiao Yu, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Zhang Sanfeng slowly walked to Chen Long's side and said softly, "Mr. Chen, are you worried about Miss Xiaoyu?"
"How can I possibly be at ease about something like this?" Chen Long sighed softly. After thinking for a moment, he bowed deeply to Zhang Sanfeng, Su Han, and the others. "I beg you all... please make sure Xiaoyu is safe."
Su Han glanced at Chen Long but did not answer. This was clearly an admission of agreement.
"What... what's going on?" Parker stood behind the Bull Warrior, staring blankly at the Jade on the altar.
At this moment, Xiaoyu was surrounded by a strange radiance, giving those around her a sense of inexplicable holiness.
It's like a deity high above the heavens, wielding the pen of destiny, looking down upon all living beings.
Even the little snake, who hadn't believed Chen Long's words before, now wore a look of surprise and uncertainty on its face. "Really?"
Could it be that Xiaoyu is destined to become a god...?
Thoughts flashed through her mind, and the little snake's expression turned serious. She took a deep breath, her voice slightly trembling, "Chen Long... I always thought you were very clear-headed, but now, I suddenly feel... you must have gone mad."
"What makes you say that?" Chen Long was happy to use his conversation with the little snake to dispel the anxiety in his heart.
"The power of God, you actually let Xiaoyu control it? This girl, she's still a child... she hasn't even truly established her values yet. Aren't you afraid that she'll go astray in the future and become a threat comparable to, or even surpassing, the Holy Lord?" The little snake stared intently at Chen Long.
The little snake is an international thief, and her concept of good and evil has always been vague.
The fact that she could say such things so clearly... is enough to prove her affection for Xiaoyu...
"If I could, I would also like to be the one standing on the stage, or my dad." Chen Long gazed at Xiaoyu with a touch of melancholy.
After a brief silence, he suddenly laughed at himself, “But unfortunately, this is not something I can choose. It’s ridiculous that I actually expected a child to bear everything. And while that child was trying to protect this world… I just watched silently.”
The little snake gave Chen Long a deep look, then said nothing more. Chen Long's meaning was clear... for various reasons, only Xiao Yu could become a god.
Madara Uchiha's pupils spun rapidly as he surveyed the area above, his brow furrowing slightly. "Strange... why haven't the enemies arrived yet?"
Su Han suddenly sensed something, his gaze sharpened, and his pupils instantly transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan.
The kaleidoscope spins rapidly, its terrifying power corroding and impacting the world.
