Chapter 190: To the Ninja World? A Difficult Choice!!
Buzz—~
The ethereal and otherworldly voice seemed to appear and disappear, yet also resembled the roar of thunder, echoing throughout the area.
In the depths of the soul, invisible to the naked eye and imperceptible to the spirit, a nearly invisible blue dot trembled, emitting chaotic electrical sounds, almost extinguished by fear.
Shuo!
The blade of light transcended the limitations of time, slicing through an extremely thin silver thread, and the entire space seemed to groan under its blade.
【Please, host, show mercy!!!】
A bold red box lit up before Death's eyes, and the silver longsword abruptly stopped, hovering just above the point of light.
The blue light spot exploded into ripples like a hedgehog, clearly terrified to the extreme; even the red square became blurred.
The Grim Reaper that Su Chen had transformed into was not in a hurry; he simply gripped his knife and waited quietly.
This Sage Art: Reverse Sealing Technique is a ninjutsu he deduced by reversing Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu. It changes the summoning of the Grim Reaper to harvest the opponent's soul into a temporary "substitute" for the Grim Reaper's class, and uses Sage Art to stabilize his connection with the mortal world, so as not to be assimilated by the Pure Land of the Underworld.
Its function is to directly attack the soul.
This is an extremely terrifying and difficult-to-perform ninjutsu. Before acquiring the Rinnegan, Su Chen had never considered using this technique.
Moreover, if this move were to actually attack the soul, then regardless of the outcome, a portion of one's own soul would be devoured by the Netherworld Pure Land. This was only because Su Chen had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique to a high degree.
Otherwise, what is lost is not just a part of the soul, but the entire soul.
But in any case, this tactic must be used today.
The system was hiding something from him, and it wasn't some small secret.
"Are you going to come out on your own, or do I have to ask you to come out?"
He held the knife upright, took a step back, and leaned back on the sofa. His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable sense of oppression.
Without hesitation, the trembling blue light spot instantly detached from the Grim Reaper's body, and Su Chen clearly felt that something engraved deep in his soul had disappeared.
【My lord, please understand, I have absolutely no intention of harming you!!!】
The blue light spot fluctuated violently, the blue light screen unfolded, and characters were quickly typed out.
Su Chen remained expressionless, simply staring silently at the blue light spot.
The latter floated uneasily in the air; if it had an expression, it would surely be one of trepidation and fear.
"Now, I ask, you answer. If you say one wrong word, hesitate even once, you die, understand?"
Perhaps a few seconds passed, or perhaps a few minutes, before the boy's voice finally rang out again, and the trembling light gradually calmed down.
Please ask me anything, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge!
Seeing the rapidly appearing blue light screen, Su Chen nodded, his eyes flashing.
"First question, what exactly are you?"
This had been a question that had been lingering in his mind all along, but before tearing away the last layer of decorum, the young man did not want to make an enemy of such an unknown entity, so he had never asked about it.
[Reporting to the host, I, or rather we, are all part of a predetermined program wandering through the heavens, our purpose being to assist those with great fortune in achieving great things, thereby absorbing some blessings from them. In this way, our level can also increase, eventually reaching transcendence.]
Is there a predetermined procedure for wandering among the heavens?
This statement did not surprise Su Chen, and he could sense that the system was not lying about this matter.
There was something he hadn't told the system: if he sensed any fluctuations in it, he would take immediate action.
"My second question is, did I actually time travel to the wrong place?"
He asked again.
【.】
【Host, this is half true and half false.】
The words on the screen hesitated for a moment, but remembering the boy's words, they quickly displayed the rest.
Logically speaking, once you reach the pinnacle of the ninja world, my mission is complete, and I will voluntarily depart to find a higher-dimensional host, but...
"but?"
Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
But you're moving way too fast!!
"what?"
The boy was stunned.
What does it mean to go too fast?
This answer truly surprised him.
Generally speaking, when a system like ours arrives, it takes about eighteen years to adapt to the rules of the current world, so as to better mobilize resources and provide guidance to the host.
[This is why so many systems you've seen require you to sign in for eighteen years or reach 99% charge. There's nothing fancy about it; it's because they haven't adapted to the rules yet, so they're telling the host to be cautious and not do anything reckless to avoid dying directly, which would cause severe backlash from the system.]
Su Chen:
That's a really simple and unpretentious reason.
His lips twitched, and he shook his head. "Go on."
Therefore, the system's process is as follows: once the system awakens, it guides the host step by step to become the embodiment of the world's fortune, and the system itself can also share in the blessings during this process, thus advancing to a higher level.
But you're different!!!
The system's emotions became visibly agitated, with chaotic ripples appearing from the blue light spots, and exclamation marks appearing on the subtitles.
Less than twenty years, less than twenty years!!
[I haven't even fully adapted to the rules, and you've already become a pinnacle being, with all the luck and fortune concentrated on you, Host!!]
Su Chen:
He suddenly felt a bit speechless, realizing that he had risen to prominence too quickly.
Isn't this system a bit outdated?
This situation means either I will help you level up, thus granting you an equal amount of fortune, or it will remain with you forever, at the mercy of the world's ruler.
Therefore, I had no choice but to let you travel through the world again. In doing so, I exhausted all my energy, becoming an empty shell with no interface, unable to even provide you with quest guidance or rewards.
【My lord, my loyalty to you is as clear as day!】
"That's really useless."
Su Chen shook his head helplessly. No wonder he felt something was off about the system. Now that he thought about it, apart from helping him travel to another world, the system really only had the function of a control panel.
There were absolutely no gift packs or mission rewards.
He had been too busy in the past few years, and what he had learned in the ninja world was enough for him to return to his peak in this world, so he hadn't paid attention to this matter.
"Then what's going on in the world of my mind? And also, me..."
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Can I go back?"
Although he hadn't mentioned it for over a decade, it didn't mean Su Chen didn't miss that world.
Whether it was the Legendary Sannin, Minato, or even everyone else, they had all long been considered family to him over the years. (End of Chapter)
