Uchiha Myoji's 'battle' was over.

The demo version wasn't for unlimited resurrections; it only offered five lives.

Once those five lives were used up, the demo ended.

His consciousness returned to the real world, but Uchiha Myoji still felt as if he'd been transported to another realm, taking a moment to fully process his surroundings. The mental shock from multiple deaths left him disoriented, his body twitching uncontrollably. His Sharingan wouldn't deactivate either; even now, the Tomoe within them spun incessantly.

Several Uchiha who had been observing also returned to reality, their gazes uniformly falling on Uchiha Myoji. Upon seeing the state of his Sharingan, Elder Uchiha Setsuna instantly activated his own Sharingan, staring intently at Uchiha Myoji.

After a moment, an irrepressible joy spread across Uchiha Setsuna's aged face. He laughed heartily, unable to contain himself. "Hahahahaha! Good! Very good! Excellent! Hahahahaha~~~"

The sudden laughter caused the other Uchiha, who hadn't yet grasped the situation or noticed the changes in Uchiha Myoji, to turn their heads and look over.

Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but ask, "Elder, what is it? Is the Genjutsu Game that effective?"

Uchiha Setsuna shook his head, then nodded. Then, as the people present watched on with even greater confusion, he said in a deep voice, "The Genjutsu Game is unimaginably good. The incredibly realistic scenarios within it are an invaluable asset to our Uchiha Clan."

"And now, the change in Myoji is the best testament to that—everyone, from today onward, our Uchiha Clan has gained another top-tier Three-Tomoe Sharingan."

Everyone paused, then quickly looked at Uchiha Myoji again. They could clearly see the black 'Pupil Ring' connecting the three Tomoe within his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

This level of clarity was the hallmark of a top-tier Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

Within the Uchiha Clan, even Three-Tomoe Sharingan had clear distinctions in power, and the most intuitive manifestation of this distinction was the 'Pupil Ring' connecting the three Tomoe.

A basic Three-Tomoe Sharingan could generally see the three Tomoe, but the 'Pupil Ring' would at most appear as faint, broken lines.

A more advanced Three-Tomoe would show the lines clearly connected, though they would be very thin, almost unnoticeable without close inspection.

Only the very top-tier Three-Tomoe Sharingan would display a clearly visible 'Pupil Ring'.

Uchiha Fugaku and his son, along with Uchiha Setsuna, possessed this top-tier Sharingan. Throughout the entire Uchiha Clan, only these three had achieved it.

But now, Uchiha Myoji had joined their ranks.

It was worth noting that Uchiha Myoji's bloodline wasn't particularly strong. Because of insufficient bloodline purity, Uchiha Myoji had activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan over twenty years ago but had been stuck at a mediocre level, unable to progress further.

Yet, after merely a 'demo' of the Genjutsu Game today, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan broke through its bloodline limitations and evolved to the top-tier. It was undeniably a cheat.

Most importantly, this kind of cheat was in the hands of an Uchiha!

For a moment, the Uchiha gazed with fervent eyes at the calm and composed Uchiha Qi—after all, having a deep understanding of the Uchiha's situation, he had anticipated such a development. He was also contemplating that Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't be activated by all Uchiha; without the innate talent, even significant stimulation would only slightly strengthen the Sharingan.

Those with aptitude and talent, like Uchiha Obito, who directly cheated by evolving from a Two-Tomoe to a Mangekyo, and an incredibly powerful Kamui Mangekyo at that, were truly examples of divine favor.

However, in the eyes of the Uchiha, Uchiha Qi's current calmness and composure signified confidence, an unyielding demeanor in the face of disaster, complete control, and an otherworldly detachment—all highly positive attributes.

As for why there were so many descriptions, it was because each of the dozen or so Uchiha had different thoughts when looking at Uchiha Qi.

But generally speaking, everyone thought Uchiha Qi looked particularly cool and impressive at that moment.

There was no helping it; when faced with a truly exceptional talent who could break through limitations and advance the Sharingan of clan members through genjutsu, no level of reverence was too much.

It should be known that the Uchiha Clan had long tried using genjutsu to stimulate the mind to awaken or advance eyes, but all attempts had failed.

This was because genjutsu, unless it reached the Mangekyo stage—and specifically a Mangekyo ability specializing in genjutsu like Tsukuyomi—always carried a sense of artificiality.

Overall, that feeling was like a dream, leaving people disoriented, feeling that everything in the world was unreal, and their bodies were out of control.

Such 'artificiality' simply couldn't achieve the effect of stimulating Uchiha to awaken or advance their Sharingan.

For example, when Uchiha Weasel in the future used genjutsu to stimulate his foolish younger brother, he was actually using a Mangekyo ability.

Even so, Uchiha Sasuke directly showed the world what he meant by, "Stimulate me all you want; if my eyes evolve, I lose."

This was the true reality of the Uchiha Clan trying to stimulate the Sharingan with genjutsu. To make the Uchiha's eyes change, stimulation could only be found in the real world.

This often meant painful shocks and hardships, which also led to the Uchiha—the clan of love—often having psychological issues.

However, things were different now. The Genjutsu Game created by Uchiha Qi emphasized realism, and the various sinister tactics within it were something the Uchiha had never encountered.

With such a secret technique in hand, would the Uchiha still have problems with their Sharingan in the future?

If anyone wanted to awaken their eyes, or if anyone wanted to advance their Sharingan, they only needed to enter the Genjutsu Game and go through it once.

Of course, this Genjutsu Game wasn't a panacea. At least, the Homecoming game, in the eyes of Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Masanobu, while quite stimulating, wasn't enough to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

However, the Genjutsu Game still had great development potential; it all depended on whether Uchiha Qi could make further advancements.

Afterward, Uchiha Myoji, having recovered, was ecstatic upon realizing his Sharingan had advanced. His face was etched with unbridled joy.

Though he had been utterly thrashed in the game, the gains in the real world were immense. He couldn't help but express his gratitude to Uchiha Qi, clearly stating that if Uchiha Qi ever needed anything, he, Uchiha Myoji, would go through fire and water without hesitation.

This attitude was practically an oath of allegiance.

If this situation had occurred in another clan, the clan leader and elders would certainly have been wary of Uchiha Qi, feeling that he was causing trouble and posing a significant threat to their prestige and authority.

But…

This was the Uchiha!

Faced with this situation, Uchiha Setsuna and the others felt only relief and happiness. Uchiha Fugaku also rejoiced and felt greatly comforted—the junior he had favored had finally risen completely!

Honestly, this family atmosphere was genuinely good, incredibly unified. If not for the future encounters of 'Kamui Can't Hide Tears' and 'Self-Destructive Weasel,' even with internal disagreements, they wouldn't have reached the point of internal tension leading up to a coup.

Of course, Uchiha Qi wasn't thinking too much about these matters right now. While the other Uchiha were immersed in joy, happiness, and anticipation for the future, he was also happy.

However, his happiness stemmed from a personal matter—on his system panel, the progress of the Emotion Value collection quest had advanced significantly.

Not only did Uchiha Myoji, the player, provide Emotion Value, but even the spectating Uchiha Clan members did, though not as much as Uchiha Myoji.

The numbers were quite low. For example, Uchiha Setsuna provided 22 points of Emotion Value, which was a far cry from the over 600 points Uchiha Myoji provided.

Uchiha Qi consulted the system and eventually discovered that there's a fixed rule for how spectators provide Emotion Value: the absorbed amount is one-tenth of the actual Emotion Value produced by the spectator.

For instance, Uchiha Setsuna provided 22 points of Emotion Value. This means that while watching Uchiha Myoji play the game from a "god's eye" perspective, he generated 220 points of Emotion Value, but the system only absorbed one-tenth of that, which is 22 points.

A 10% absorption rate.

This ratio made Uchiha Qi's eyes widen, and he exclaimed how outrageous it was—simply too high.

After all, these were spectators, not the players themselves!

Anyone from Earth knows what the live streaming industry is like. Currently, Uchiha Qi is only in the early stages of development, building on the Genjutsu Game, and can only pull a few people in to "spectate."

But what if he continued to develop the Genjutsu Game to allow more people to watch live streams?

What if the scope of live streaming expanded to all of Konoha, or even the entire Land of Fire?

At that point, the Emotion Value generated would be incomparable to what a mere single player could provide.

With this thought, Uchiha Qi understood that the Live Streaming System was a must-have, and it needed to be developed on a massive scale!

Thus, "Live Stream Development" was added to Uchiha Qi's future game expansion blueprint, and it was marked as a top priority.
