Examining the two 'Chakra Fruits' in his hands, Shinji whispered, "It seems the strength of the sacrifice really does affect the nurturing of the 'Chakra Fruit'. In that case, sacrificing Urashiki wasn't a waste after all!"
Previously, he had hesitated about whether to sacrifice Urashiki, a 'Kekkei Mora' (Bloodline Encompassing). But now, having harvested an enhanced 'Chakra Fruit', that hesitation had completely vanished.
At the same time, this also demonstrated that there was indeed a very significant difference between a 'Kekkei Mora' and an ordinary 'Six Paths Level' being.
Shinji continued to calculate: "I have already consumed five 'Chakra Fruits' and am at the peak of 'Kekkei Mora'. Perhaps I only need to consume one more 'Chakra Fruit' to advance to 'Kekkei Shinra' (Bloodline of All Creation). If everything goes smoothly, I might be able to save one 'Chakra Fruit'."
One 'Chakra Fruit' meant the birth of a 'Kekkei Mora'. So if he could save one 'Chakra Fruit', one of his many 'Six Paths Level' subordinates could advance to 'Kekkei Mora'.
Once this thought arose, Shinji couldn't suppress it. Because once he truly reached the level of 'Kekkei Shinra', having one more or one less 'Chakra Fruit' wouldn't have much impact on his strength anymore.
"So, which one should I swallow?"
Shinji looked left and right, his gaze finally resting on the larger 'Chakra Fruit'.
That swallowing the sixth 'Chakra Fruit' would help him charge towards 'Kekkei Shinra' was just his personal prediction, not a certainty. So, for the sake of safety, swallowing the larger 'Chakra Fruit' first was the more reasonable choice.
This was to avoid swallowing the small one, finding it insufficient, and then having to swallow the big one as well, leaving him with none in the end.
Having made up his mind, Shinji put the smaller 'Chakra Fruit' into the 'Daikokuten' dimension, then swallowed the larger 'Chakra Fruit' in his hand in one gulp.
Instantly, a warm current surged into his body, causing him to feel an inexplicable restlessness.
At his current realm, very few things could make him feel restless. So he rejoiced inwardly, realizing this was a sign that his body was on the verge of evolution. He sat down cross-legged and quietly experienced the changes in his body.
This sitting lasted a whole day.
When he opened his eyes again, the base color of the originally blood-red 'Six-Tomoe Rinnegan' in Shinji's sockets had actually turned black. If not for the lustrous tomoe still in his pupils, one might almost think his eyes had reverted to ordinary eyes.
The change in eye color undoubtedly meant that the chakra within Shinji's body had undergone tremendous changes within this short day.
"So this is 'Kekkei Shinra'..."
Shinji exhaled gently.
Obviously, after swallowing that larger 'Chakra Fruit', he had successfully entered the realm of 'Kekkei Shinra' as he wished.
After entering this realm, everything before him, or rather the entire world, looked different in his eyes.
If his power base previously was chakra refined from the fusion of spiritual and physical energy, now all energy—such as the ubiquitous wind, the power of flowing water, the power of combustion, and even formless gravity—could be utilized by him and refined into the chakra he needed.
In other words, every 'force' in the world that he could comprehend could be refined by him into chakra, becoming a part of his power.
"So this is the true 'Shinra Banshō' (All Creation)..."
He whispered, seemingly enlightened yet also lamenting.
Subsequently, his whole body turned into sand and crumbled atop the God Tree. In the next instant, on a Gobi desert dozens of miles away, he walked out from the sand again.
He looked around and raised his hand. The wind and sand on the Gobi instantly subsided, then turned into water mist, forming clouds.
Pitter-patter...
In the blink of an eye, light rain began to fall from the sky.
Shinji slowly squatted down and reached out to touch the sand soaked by rain. Instantly, the sand he touched turned into a startled gray rabbit, hopping away into the distance.
Just as the gray rabbit fled, lush grass grew on the Gobi at a speed visible to the naked eye. The gray rabbit hopped a few times and disappeared into the dense grass.
Shinji smiled and waved his hand again.
The rain stopped, the clouds parted, and the sky became clear.
Shinji strolled while stroking the grass, a thoughtful look on his face.
Extreme Wind Release could stop the wind temporarily, powerful Water Release could make it rain, and tough Wood Release could create a forest.
But these could not last long. Once the chakra maintaining them was exhausted, the wind would flow again, the rain would dissipate, and the forest created by Wood Release would wither, decay, and lose its vitality.
However, everything before his eyes was different. Shinji had long stopped the technique. Whether it was the endless grassland or the various animals created, none were maintained by Shinji's chakra, yet they all remained without any change, as if they had existed from the very beginning.
Shinji stopped and looked around: "I changed matter and created all this!"
At this moment, he finally understood why Shinjutsu was named with the character for 'God'. Because Shinjutsu had transcended the scope of ninjutsu or senjutsu, touching the domain of altering matter!
Immediately, Shinji smiled.
Being able to do all this meant he had also mastered Shinjutsu, or to be more precise, all the techniques he displayed could count as Shinjutsu.
The only constraint on him now was his own knowledge!
Because he could not utilize or create things he did not understand. But once he understood a thing, he could use the power of 'Shinra Banshō' to convert it into chakra, or convert chakra into that thing and manipulate it.
"If given enough time, I could even create a world!"
Thinking of this, Shinji was suddenly stunned.
He finally deeply realized why those Hegemons in the deep universe tirelessly devoured one world after another!
What the Hegemons coveted was not just the massive energy contained in the worlds. What they truly cared about was actually the unique information of each world. This information was the true wealth in the eyes of the Hegemons, the true source of power!
If Shinji wanted to continue getting stronger now, the principle was the same. He needed to continuously absorb various information, bringing himself closer and closer to 'Omniscience'. And for a life form of his level, Omniscience equaled Omnipotence!
