"Let me go to the Sacred World of the Kai for special training?"
Upon receiving this invitation, Ino's first reaction was that something had gone wrong. Had the matter regarding the West Supreme Kai been exposed?
Thinking about it from another perspective: if she were the East Supreme Kai, looking at the other four Supreme Kais... The Grand Supreme Kai was a fat man, the North Supreme Kai was an old man, and the South Supreme Kai was a musclehead. That left only the West Supreme Kai, a beautiful young lady. Who would the young and vigorous East Supreme Kai be close to? That was self-evident.
An older woman-younger man romance was hardly anything new. In Ino's view, the West Supreme Kai was quite the player; having one more fish in her pond was likely not a big deal.
Could this invitation be a ploy to trick her into the Sacred World of the Kai, only to close the door and beat the dog? If the Supreme Kai found out that she had been so recklessly using the identity of his dream goddess, would he fly into a rage, draw the Z Sword, and chop her down?
Ino's mind wandered wildly, and she felt a bit resistant.
The Grand Kai, unaware of her inner thoughts, was merely passing the message. At this moment, his tone became slightly more solemn. "This is a good thing. You have done so much work for the universe; this is your deserved reward. Go with peace of mind."
Ino mulled it over repeatedly and felt she might be overthinking it.
"Alright, I accept this invitation."
The Supreme Kai held high authority, but his prestige was too low. To invite Ino, a mere Proxy West Kai, he had to first pass the message through the Grand Kai. Only after she did not object did they proceed to the next steps.
Kibito arrived to pick Ino up, taking her to the Sacred World of the Kai.
"I heard you also possess space displacement abilities?" Kibito asked.
Ino thought for a moment; it wasn't exactly an exaggerated ability. "Mm, yes."
Kibito kept a straight face, looking particularly serious. "The Sacred World of the Kai is the true sanctuary of the universe. Even the Grand Kai has no right to set foot there. I am taking you there this time so you can familiarize yourself with the spatial coordinates. Next time, you can come directly to the Sacred World of the Kai. This is a special privilege Lord Supreme Kai has opened specifically for you. Please cherish it."
"I understand. I am very grateful for the Supreme Kai's high regard." Ino expressed her thanks on the surface, but didn't take it too seriously in her heart.
Sanctuary? She didn't see what was so holy about it. Didn't Son Goku come and go as he pleased in the later stages?
However, at this current point in time, the Sacred World of the Kai was indeed a region that ordinary people found difficult to access.
Ino thanked the Supreme Kai and thanked Mr. Kibito, offering a burst of gratitude.
The two used Instant Transmission to arrive at the Sacred World of the Kai.
"Wow! What a wonderful place! Incredible, is this the Sacred World of the Kai?!" Even though she was mentally prepared, Ino still exclaimed in surprise.
The rich aura of energy here made her lose focus for a few seconds. To use the old example: if the energy density of Earth and Konoha was 1, King Kai's Planet was 3, and Grand Kai's Planet was 10, then the energy density of the Sacred World of the Kai probably exceeded 100.
Training here for one day was equivalent to half a year in the outside world.
Ino looked up at the sky. There was ample sunshine here. The entire Divine World was vast and boundless. If one sensed carefully, they would discover that this continent, where the sky was round and the earth was square, was rotating periodically along a certain trajectory.
The Supreme Kai suddenly appeared beside her. Naturally, he did not have the Z Sword in hand. His temperament was gentle. "Welcome to the Sacred World of the Kai."
"Lord Supreme Kai, thank you for your high regard. I definitely will not live up to your expectations." Ino immediately began to pledge her loyalty.
The two exchanged moves to test each other's level.
The Supreme Kai discovered that Ino possessed a heap of special abilities that were very similar to his own path, but her abilities were not orthodox, and she focused too much on form when using them.
Just as Ino was pondering whether she should formally apprentice herself, the Supreme Kai politely refused. "I will guide your cultivation, and you will tell me about the institutions and order you have established. Let us consider it mutual learning."
Ino bowed. "It is my honor."
It was true that most of her abilities came from the West Supreme Kai. But absorption was different from fusion.
Fusion meant all knowledge, memories, and experiences merged together, turning two independent individuals into one life form; these things became indistinguishable from one another.
Absorption was one side dominating the other, drawing sustenance from the counterpart. In essence, they were still two individuals.
Ino was like a newbie facing the internet. Clearly, all knowledge was available online, so why spend money to go to school? Was it because one had too much money to burn? Certainly not.
To turn this incredibly messy knowledge into her own abilities, she lacked some key guidance.
The West Supreme Kai was originally just a remnant soul, and there were small gaps in her memory. When Ino faced these memories, she often didn't know where to start. If she wanted to use the petrification ability, she had to read the relevant information from the West Supreme Kai's memories, and only then could she use it. It seemed she used it well, but in reality, she lacked the foundation and the room for flexible application.
Knowledge had very tight interconnections. The petrification ability involved parts of material manipulation, while Psychokinesis could relate to the refined control of Divine Power.
The Time Power gradually awakening in her bloodline could be played with in many ways, but her Supreme Kai abilities could not; many of them appeared clumsy when used.
The Supreme Kai had ascended to his position too hastily and lacked a lot of high-end knowledge.
The most significant example was that he didn't even know that the Potara Earrings could be used for fusion.
Was this matter a secret? Zamasu, that Apprentice Supreme Kai, knew about it, yet Shin, who had been a formal Supreme Kai for five million years, knew nothing about it. It had to be said, he was truly weak.
When facing Super Saiyans, he even transformed into a member of the "Shock Party," embarrassing himself. However, he was of standard Supreme Kai origin and had a systematic learning experience. He could guide Ino, reorganizing the many abilities on her body and conducting targeted training and control exercises.
Of the two of them, one had high-end application methods but no foundation—picking up bits and pieces here and there and needing to figure things out herself—while the other had the foundation but had lost all the high-level Supreme Kai abilities.
The two chatted for a whole afternoon, verifying things with each other, and both felt they had gained a lot.
Before the formal training began, the Supreme Kai sized up Ino's attire. "Mm, your clothes are still a bit non-compliant with the standards of the Divine World. Kibito."
"Yes, my Lord. Everything is ready." Kibito first nodded to the Supreme Kai, then said to Ino, "Please follow me."
"Okay."
Following him to the Supreme Kai's sanctuary, Ino expected to stay here for a long time, so there was a room for her within the sanctuary as well.
Kibito pushed open a door and signaled for her to enter alone. "There are clothes inside. Those clothes once belonged to an outstanding and heroic Supreme Kai. Looking at your figure, you two should be about the same size."
Ino followed the local customs and changed into the clothes her "old friend," the West Supreme Kai, had once worn.
Since the Sacred World of the Kai had merged together, many of the West Supreme Kai's belongings naturally remained here.
"The resemblance is striking..." Seeing her walk out wearing the purple-red jacket and golden boots so characteristic of a Supreme Kai, the Supreme Kai felt his eyes light up. Before, he had vaguely felt that Ino looked very much like the West Supreme Kai, but now that she had changed into this outfit, she looked even more like her...
