“Perhaps this is the original purpose of Chakra energy. After all, the members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who possess Chakra energy, have lifespans of tens of thousands of years. After consuming fruits condensed from absorbing planetary energy, they can even achieve immortality. It makes no sense that Chakra cultivation in the Ninja World doesn't increase life expectancy and instead shortens one's life due to Chakra refinement.”
“There must be a big problem here!”
“After all, even animals like frogs, snakes, and slugs on this planet can gain long lifespans through cultivation. Are humans inherently inferior to them? This is simply too problematic. Now it seems it’s all a deliberately set outcome. After all, with long life, who would be willing to let these strong individuals engage in life-and-death duels? And without strong individuals constantly fighting and dying, where would the Six Paths Sage get the souls of strong individuals to reside in his Pure Land to provide him with Chakra resources?”
Uchiha Tenxiu thought with certainty, then couldn't help but wonder if even the Ōtsutsuki Clan, under the adaptation of Chakra and cosmic rays, gradually transformed into their white-skinned form.
The most crucial point is that they have no reproductive isolation with humans, essentially belonging to the same species.
Or perhaps Uchiha Tenxiu guessed wrong.
Their lack of reproductive isolation should be due to higher life forms absorbing genes from many planets, which resulted in them being able to match genes from any planet.
But no matter what, this is a powerful race that constantly searches for life-bearing planets in the universe to plant Divine Trees.
Their ordinary members have already reached the Kage-level in the Ninja World, which is a quite astonishing achievement. However, this is merely their basic physical quality, and they can grow rapidly and become stronger.
Furthermore, their race grants them unique talents through their bloodline; once they reach a certain level of strength, they can freely manipulate space-time power. When these talents are awakened, their strength will be further enhanced, even easily reaching or surpassing the Super Kage Level.
Within this group, the strength of some strong individuals is even beyond imagination. Their starting point is Super Kage Level or Quasi-Six Paths Level, meaning their strength has already exceeded the limits of ordinary Ninja. A few elites among them even start at the Six Paths Level; their strength is unfathomable, like Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who, even after being crippled by Kaguya's sneak attack upon arriving on Earth, could still conceal his whereabouts.
These strong individuals travel extensively through the cosmos, which is clearly not something that can be achieved in a short time. Considering their lifespan, even without using the Ōtsutsuki Clan's unique Karma for reincarnation, their lives are extremely long. From a normal historical perspective, the lifespan of these individuals exceeds that of ordinary people by at least several millennia.
It's even possible for them to live for over ten thousand years.
In such a long time,
dozens or even hundreds of dynasties can experience cycles of growth, prosperity, and demise.
But for the Ōtsutsuki, it is merely a relatively short game; even in death, they can still use their unique skill, “Karma,” for reincarnation and revival.
“From this perspective, the Ōtsutsuki Clan is indeed the pinnacle race of this universe, truly worthy of being called a divine race!”
Uchiha Tenxiu couldn't help but exclaim internally. But now that he has been freed from these restrictions, with his life and strength increasing proportionally, he will also have the opportunity to reach that level.
Next, Uchiha Tenxiu pondered for a moment, looking at the hazy space around him, wondering if his control over this space would allow for some detailed planning?
As Uchiha Tenxiu, the master of the heavenly dimension fragment, had a thought, the entire space above brightened, and the void he stood on transformed into ground made of black stone blocks.
“Hmm, it seems I can transform it through manipulation. Unfortunately, the things created here can only affect this space itself and cannot influence the outside world. Perhaps it’s limited by my own strength or the shard’s recovery.”
“According to the information transmitted by the heavenly dimension fragment, this space can continuously expand as my strength increases, as if it has a life of its own. As long as I exist in this world, everything I do will automatically trigger space-time fluctuations and heavenly fortune. By gathering enough space-time fluctuations and heavenly fortune, I can use space-time capture to perform a random plunder towards a nearby space-time! It's like opening a random mystery box; this is a great opportunity.”
“Furthermore, once I kill or defeat other life forms, it's like actively stirring the space-time waters of others, and I can also gain some space-time fluctuations and heavenly fortune. Among them, space-time fluctuations are like ripples, naturally spreading across the surface of space-time, while heavenly fortune is more like an innate light of destiny. The strong are like the scorching sun, the weak like fireflies; by defeating others, I can plunder their destiny, thereby enhancing my own potential and limits!” Uchiha Tenxiu's eyes couldn't help but roll, filled with an uncontrollable greed, but then he thought that such large-scale slaughter would inevitably attract attention.
He also considered that the entire Ninja World currently harbors Jigen, who is possessed by Isshiki. If he were to act, he would have to surpass Senju Hashirama and Madara with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, not to mention the dying Senju Hashirama and Madara with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, plus the old monsters hidden in the three Great Summoning Beast Sanctuaries.
Uchiha Tenxiu then abandoned the idea of causing a big commotion.
Moreover, ordinary people offer limited improvement to him, and their overall significance in the entire world is negligible.
It is best to interfere with the original plot characters.
So, what he needs to do next is to find ways to harvest this abundant fruit.
However, too much slaughter would cause their souls to fly into the Pure Land like birds, thus alerting certain individuals.
What's more,
Simply defeating the opponent can also yield their space-time fluctuations and heavenly fortune, so why must one take their lives?
Instead of putting the opponent to death, just continuously defeat them. One can even repeatedly harvest from them; wouldn't that be better?
And...
“The Six Paths Sage was able to establish the foundation of the Pure Land; there’s no reason Uchiha Tenxiu can’t establish his own foundation! Since interfering with other people’s destinies and affecting them can gradually absorb their space-time fluctuations and what they call heavenly fortune, then if I subdue them, wouldn’t I be able to absorb the effects they produce at all times?”
Uchiha Tenxiu thought proudly, and in a flash of thought, he realized that the Six Paths Sage treated the entire Ninja World as his own field, constantly watering and fertilizing it, and now he himself was starting to adopt this approach.
“Then, let’s first see what space-time capture can achieve!” Uchiha Tenxiu, who now understood all the abilities of his heavenly dimension fragment, looked on with a slight anticipation as he performed his first active capture.
In an instant, the space before Uchiha Tenxiu's eyes was like a calm lake, rippling in layers, and suddenly a spot as black as ink appeared.
Immediately following, within that pitch-blackness, a space window the size of a millstone abruptly expanded.
On the other side of the space window that appeared before Uchiha Tenxiu was an ancient room filled with Eastern charm.
The room's decor was antique, and several old-looking ancient books lay on the desk.
Uchiha Tenxiu did not hesitate, because according to the information provided by the heavenly dimension fragment, the duration of this space-time capture was so brief that it lasted less than a few seconds.
In an instant, Uchiha Tenxiu extended his finger like a gust of wind, and his incredibly strong Chakra control caused his Chakra to condense into sticky, rope-like threads at his fingertip, like spider silk, precisely grabbing those ancient books.
It was a pity that due to the lack of energy for the heavenly dimension fragment, Uchiha Tenxiu would have undoubtedly crossed over without hesitation. Furthermore, the already fragmented heavenly dimension fragment could now only communicate with space-time and could no longer forcibly lock onto it. If he were to venture rashly, he would likely be forever lost in that unknown space-time, never to return.
Uchiha Tenxiu had no intention of embarking on an unknown journey into that unfamiliar space-time all alone.
