Suddenly having an extra planet and a moon in the universe didn't cause any issues.
After moving the ninja world planet over, Hyuga Mirai had used the Infinity Stones to adjust its celestial balance. Even if it floated alone in space, it wouldn't cause any abnormalities.
Apart from the lack of a sun. But using the Space Stone, he could ensure the ninja world planet had unlimited energy. Getting used to the darkness for a while would suffice.
To install a star to provide heat for the ninja world planet, he would need at least the Power Stone and the Space Stone. But doing that would be more trouble than resting for a while and then placing the ninja world planet in an uninhabited star system, using that system as the core to slowly develop into a civilization.
"Mirai-kun, how could you be so seriously injured..."
Ayaka Uzumaki directly occupied a spot next to Hyuga Mirai. Seeing him again, her longing burst forth uncontrollably like a breached dam. On the other side, Hyuga Mio had taken that spot. She hadn't seen her father, Hyuga Mirai, for so long that if not for the images, she felt she might have forgotten him.
"It's nothing major. Just need some rest."
Hyuga Mirai comforted them one by one. His right arm and shoulder looked severe, but it only made fighting difficult. He could use Yin-Yang Release to conceal the injuries, but couldn't truly heal them. Perhaps eating a God Tree fruit could speed up recovery, but he hadn't tried it; it was just speculation.
After all, the God Tree's growth required a large amount of life energy, and there were plenty of uninhabited life-bearing planets in the universe. Those several interstellar civilizations alone had more than one life-bearing planet. Now that Hyuga Mirai had the six Infinity Stones, planting the God Tree would be easy.
Orochimaru's voice came from outside: "Mirai-kun, I heard you've returned. What method did you use to move a planet to another universe?"
Sasori of the Red Sand's voice followed immediately: "Orochimaru, don't you know about first come, first served? I arrived first, so I should ask questions first."
While Orochimaru and Sasori were arguing at the door, Uchiha Mikoto walked straight in and said, "Sorry for the intrusion. Sasuke is on his way. I came ahead."
Seeing more and more people arriving, the house built back then could no longer hold them all. Hyuga Mirai's face darkened involuntarily.
Were they treating him like a mascot? Why did everyone come?
Earth, Future Biopharmaceutical Company Building.
"Peter Parker, before announcing anything, the master asked me to ask you a question. Are you willing to return to your original world, or stay here?"
Hearing this question, Peter Parker was stunned for a moment, then realized she was asking whether he wanted to stay in this universe or go back to his own.
Just as the Sorcerer Supreme had said back then, Mr. Mirai now had the ability to send him back. But Peter hesitated. Living here for several years, he had gained many friends, both Spider-Man's friends and Peter Parker's friends.
Moreover, Uncle Ben and Aunt May were very happy with their work. They traveled around the world every day, accompanied by bodyguards and guides, and would send him travel records with photos from time to time.
If he went back, Peter wasn't worried about becoming that poor, struggling young man again. He could become wealthy in his original world too. But the friends here were hard to let go of.
Peter couldn't make a choice for a long time. He needed to think. So he looked up and asked, "Can I make my decision a bit later, Lady Kaguya?"
18 replied, "Yes. If you choose to stay, you will have the right to inherit a portion of everything at Future Biopharmaceutical Company. If you prefer to return to your original universe, the company will be divided into three parts, inherited by Wanda, Pietro, and Rumlow."
Having become practically the master of a universe, Hyuga Mirai no longer cared about shares in a company on a single planet. He could use the Infinity Stones to create a gold planet the size of the sun.
He could command the energy of the entire universe, so he would leave Future Company to Peter and the others.
"What about the master? Doesn't he want the company anymore?"
Wanda asked somewhat anxiously. America had just erupted into such chaos. If Mr. Future wasn't around, they wouldn't feel confident at all.
18 answered, "The master won't be returning for a while. He's living in a star system 39 light-years away. If you need anything, I will relay it to him."
Hearing 18 say this, Wanda knew it was settled. Although she had gained ownership of at least a quarter of a world-class company, she didn't feel particularly happy about it.
"The company will operate as usual. You can tell me anything you need. After Peter makes his decision, the distribution will be completed."
Leaving these words, 18 canceled the virtual projection in front of them.
Inside the room, they looked at each other. Then Rumlow spoke first: "I plan to keep things as they are. Hydra people have contacted me, but I don't intend to get involved with them again. My life is very good now. Unless something unexpected happens, I will continue to maintain the hero title of 'Weapon Master'."
With endless money, a long lifespan, and great power, unless Rumlow had mercury for brains, he wouldn't think of joining Hydra in their crazy ideal of world domination again.
Even if they did dominate the world, when Mr. Mirai returned, wouldn't he just order them to disband? Besides, what would it look like for him, a superhero practically a god to humanity, to be mixed up with Hydra?
"I plan to get my associate professor certification first. As for other things... I'll occasionally do some hero activities."
Pietro shrugged. He was the least concerned about hero activities. Over the years, unless a disaster happened nearby or Hyuga Mirai ordered it, Pietro wouldn't even show up.
Wanda and Peter Parker were the most enthusiastic about hero activities. The former liked the spotlight, the latter liked being popular.
"I'll go back first. I need to discuss some things with my family."
Although he said that, Peter was already thinking about how to convince Uncle Ben and Aunt May to stay. He had a crush at Columbia University and had almost forgotten about Mary Jane. Besides, several years had passed; Mary Jane might already be married.
Kamar-Taj.
After the Celestial Tiamut on Earth was taken away by Hyuga Mirai, the Ancient One discovered that all dimensional gates on Earth had been reinforced very securely. And it seemed to use magic different from Kamar-Taj's power. Those mysterious sealing runes tightly locked away the power of the Dark Dimension.
The Ancient One felt that even if she removed the magic from the Sanctums, the Dark Dimension couldn't invade.
"Truly worthy of the six Infinity Stones, the strongest power in the universe."
The Ancient One sighed in admiration. Previously, Kamar-Taj had relied on the magic of Vishanti and the Eye of Agamotto to keep the Dark Dimension's power out. Now, although the Eye of Agamotto was gone, Kamar-Taj could rest easy.
"The position of Sorcerer Supreme is also of little importance now. But this should be the best timeline..."
The Ancient One suddenly thought of Doctor Strange. With his personality, if no one watched him, he would probably still get into a car accident. If he could study at Kamar-Taj for a few years and find a way to heal his hands on his own, it would be fine if he wasn't willing. Wong could also serve as Sorcerer Supreme.
Now, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj only had the task of supervision. For at least several hundred years, she wouldn't have to worry about the Dark Dimension.
"Three more months..." The Ancient One estimated her time and thought. The Dark Dimension was completely sealed, affecting her lifespan. Unless something unexpected happened, she would have to decide on the next Sorcerer Supreme within three months.
Then, the Ancient One opened a portal, appeared before Wong in the library, and said to him, "Wong, I have a favor to ask of you..."
Ninja World Planet.
It took several days for Hyuga Mirai to explain everything clearly. But researchers like Orochimaru and Sasori were still unsatisfied. They wanted to have more long conversations with Hyuga Mirai, but were glared back by Kiyo's eyes.
Although Senju Tobirama was also a research master, he now leaned more toward administration. Besides, his second career had just started. Now hearing that an entire star system was waiting for him to develop, Senju Tobirama felt the heavy burden.
A series of issues like space exploration, population development, and logistics support fell directly on him as the leader. The ninja world Federation had enough technological foundation, but not enough development time. After careful consideration, Senju Tobirama felt it would take at least thirty years before he could take the first step in interstellar migration and development.
Returning home, Hyuga Mirai finally felt familiar, though it was still a bit crowded.
"Why did you guys come too..."
Hyuga Mirai was referring to Uzumaki Naruto and his wife, as well as Uchiha Sasuke and his wife. There was no familiar Sakura Haruno. Probably because they had been apart for a long time since childhood, they weren't very familiar as adults. Although Sakura Haruno had also come to the federal capital, it seemed her romantic life hadn't gone smoothly.
"My wife is your fan, Mirai-san..."
Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head and laughed heartily. Hyuga Mirai vaguely remembered his wife as a teammate from the same squad back then. Most of the students who graduated that year idolized him as the principal. Naruto's excuse was pretty lame.
But these two had lived near Hyuga Mirai's house since they were very young, coming and going was just a habit.
After enjoying only a short time at home, Hyuga Mirai used the Infinity Stones to move the ninja world planet to an uninhabited star system.
This universe was truly vast, and there were Celestials constantly opening up new star systems and universes.
The longer he kept the Infinity Stones with him, the deeper Hyuga Mirai's understanding of this universe became. In his view, Thanos's idea was utterly wrong.
The universe was not static but grew like a baby. The expansion of the universe required the Celestials to accomplish. This race was like cosmic miners, constantly expanding the internal space of the universe.
However, the birth of a Celestial required sacrificing the life energy of a planet. Thanos's concern was completely unnecessary. He only needed to collect the six Infinity Stones, then periodically eliminate a group of Celestials, protect the birth of new Celestials, and control the balance, to maintain the universe's equilibrium.
Wiping out half of all life directly delayed the birth of new Celestials and stalled the universe's expansion.
"That means, from now on, planting the God Tree will continue, but I will wait for this universe's God Tree to bear fruit, then I will farm Celestials, using old Celestials to plant new God Trees."
Hyuga Mirai said to everyone. From now on, they would all be long-lived deities. Even if Hyuga Mirai left this universe, he wouldn't have to worry. However, using Celestials to plant God Trees would take an incredibly long time.
He used the Time Stone to check the process. It would take about two hundred years for the God Tree fruit to mature. But that was nothing to them. Now, people like Ayaka had lifespans as long as the gods of Asgard.
Hyuga Mio raised her hand, eyes shining, and asked, "Dad, do we get God Tree fruits too?"
"Your body contains about the power of one God Tree fruit, but it's completely undeveloped..." Hyuga Mirai said to his eldest daughter. As his first child, Hyuga Mio's talent was not bad. Born with the Tenseigan, with a little training she could complete the nature transformations of all seven chakra natures and reach the Six Paths level.
Seeing that a lecture was coming, Hyuga Mio quickly covered her ears and shook her head. There were no more wars, so naturally she didn't want to train.
Besides the matter of evolving the God Tree, Hyuga Mirai also talked about what he had encountered in recent years. Yuto, Yoko, and Miku listened with great interest. They felt like going to see other civilizations.
Yuto immediately brought this up, which gained agreement from Mio, Yoko, and Yue. They even came up with a name on the spot: the Ninja World Exploration Fleet.
Hyuga Mirai didn't oppose them venturing out into the universe, but their strength was too weak. Besides two Tenseigan users, Hyuga Yuto hadn't even awakened the Rinnegan, only having the Eternal Mangekyo.
Suddenly becoming the master of the universe, Hyuga Mirai felt a bit lost. He didn't know what to do next.
He had many ideas, but didn't know how to realize them or whether they would work.
"Who's watching me?"
Lying on the bed, Hyuga Mirai suddenly spoke. He had just felt a gaze staring at him.
Ayaka Uzumaki beside him asked, "Mirai-kun, someone is spying?" After asking, she directly used her Adamantine Sealing Chains to seal the entire room.
But then Ayaka Uzumaki felt puzzled. Could someone really spy on Mirai-kun in secret?
Hyuga Mirai took out the Mind Stone and the Space Stone, placed them in his palm, and created a barrier. Only then did he feel that gaze disappear.
"Someone is watching. The only thing I'm sure of is that they are not from this universe..."
Hyuga Mirai thought of several possibilities. If it was as he suspected, then planting the universe's God Tree needed to be accelerated.
Ayaka Uzumaki suddenly spoke with some hesitation: "Mirai, there's something I want to tell you..."
