Peaceful times passed by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it had been nine years since Lin Nian came to the ninja world. Today was his twelfth birthday.
Along with this day, two system notifications also sounded.
"Ding! Your Blue Silver Grass has been perfectly integrated into the Ninja World Ecosystem and can now provide a small boost to your area. Congratulations on achieving the achievement of spreading grass throughout the country! Wearing this title will grant you ten points from the system shop every day."
"Ding! According to the system's detection, your physical fitness and spiritual strength have reached the level of a Kage in the ninja world. You can now access the system shop at 9 PM every day."
"Ding, the system has detected that the host has entered the Innate Realm. The world travel function has been activated. Please use it with caution."
"Innate? I wonder what kind of innate it is from which world? But, Master, it didn't take me two years to become a Jonin, so why did it take me four years to become a Kage? Where did you find your point of reference?"
Opening his eyes, Lin Nian looked at the few rays of morning light shining through the gaps in the window and the skylight in the roof. He felt that his current physical body was already capable of fighting against the muscular Third Raikage. Looking at the Kage-level combat power that had only been confirmed now, he was somewhat puzzled.
"Ding, the host is only a Xiantian in the ordinary martial arts world. Please note that the difference between Xiantian is greater than the difference between a Da Luo and a microorganism. Please do not overthink it. In addition, your Xiantian is the simplest type of True Qi Xiantian. Your soul and body are acquired."
"In addition, the system used the Rokudo brothers as the reference. The reason why it did not use other Otsutsuki is simply because the Otsutsuki clan will not allow anyone to leave the star system controlled by the Otsutsuki until they reach the Super Kage level, as their combat power is extremely weak."
"I thought you would go after Madara and Hasila?"
"Ding, you have an innate deficiency. Even at the Shadow level, your combat power is not considered the strongest among them."
"So you're just a nobody, and you're talking to me about combat strength?"
"You know I'm a hybrid, so why don't you hurry up and get stronger to protect me!"
"You've left me speechless..."
With a soft click of her tongue, Lin Nian, who had already gotten up, stretched and quietly opened her data panel.

"Your overall combat strength assessment... it feels a bit..."
Looking at my brand new control panel, although it's infinitely more luxurious than before, something still feels off.
"Isn't it inaccurate?"
Tongzi raised a question.
"Very accurate!"
"That settles it!"
"But why did you only conclude that I had reached the peak of the Kage level?!"
Lin Nian was very sad because he was not much stronger than he was a year ago, and the Shadow-level automatic system shop points he earned were more than three thousand yuan a year!
Whenever I think about it, I recall that from the age of eight until last year, I had given nearly 3,300 points in the system store to Shimura Danzo to activate his brain-dead aura.
The thought of him occasionally having a mental breakdown, thus restraining Hiruzen Sarutobi and the advisory group from their malicious spending, made Lin Nian feel so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.
Even if he could earn three to five thousand a day just by selling the inner cores of lightning-attribute demons, but…
He glanced at the various items in the system shop—items deliberately designed to tempt him, promising instant wealth but also ridiculously expensive—and felt that his current hundred thousand or so system shop points were somewhat...
All I can say is that I was terrified of being poor.
After all, the items in this mall are really outrageous. First-tier treasures start at a thousand, and second-tier items start at ten thousand! That's a tenfold increase, and looking at the third and fourth tier items in the selection? They're also increasing tenfold!
As a useless collaborator of a useless system who is temporarily unable to change the fate of others to gain points and also temporarily unable to issue tasks, Lin Nian felt that he had to be able to survive long enough to rely on his own efforts and the system's gradual assistance to continue climbing to higher levels.
To gain a long lifespan, cultivating immortality and traveling to various worlds to acquire resources become the preferred methods.
For Lin Nian, who didn't plan to travel through time until his strength reached the Six Paths level, the best options were cultivation techniques that could increase his lifespan and special techniques that eliminated most of the side effects.
But Lin Nian, who now feels he can live exceptionally long, looks down on those cultivation techniques that start at 100,000 and have no upper limit. He wants something better!
After all, the life force he harvests from Blue Silver Grass every day is enough to extend a normal person's life by five to eight years. Although this life force is no longer significant to him now, what if the entire planet were planted with Blue Silver Grass?
Could we also enable him to achieve a state of immortality similar to or surpassing that of Kaguya Otsutsuki?
"Perhaps I can think of a solution elsewhere, but I remember that before today, my martial soul always showed up as the top-tier Blue Silver King, but why has it become the Blue Silver Emperor now? And what does this Eye of Indra mean? The system?"
As she spoke, a pair of scarlet three-tomoe pearls appeared in her eyes, but the surging ocular power within those three-tomoe pearls had already far surpassed the so-called three-tomoe pearls, and had even surpassed Uchiha Izumi before her death a few years ago.
"Ding! Being an emperor is a responsibility, but also a power. An emperor without his people is nothing but a joke!"
"Due to the influence of the rules, only if the derivatives of your martial soul truly take root and multiply on this continent, and will not become extinct because of your sudden death or some other situation, will you be qualified to evolve into an emperor! Even if the quality of your martial soul is no weaker than that of the Blue Silver Emperor, you are still not an emperor."
"As for your Sharingan? I can only say that your physical and spiritual conditions are good enough, but what you yearn for in your heart is something you can't reach for the time being. Of course, perhaps you are already able to use so-called divine power?"
"You mean, Indra!"
