After returning to the apartment, Shinji was still caught up in the excitement of his increased Dojutsu.
The increase in his Dojutsu this time was almost comparable to the one he'd achieved after painstakingly fusing the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Even so, he felt that his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan still had room to grow.
That meant that having a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan alone wasn't even half of what was needed to awaken the Rinnegan.
"No wonder Madara Uchiha was the only person in the Shinobi World to awaken the Rinnegan in a thousand years!"
Over the past thousand years, the Shinobi World had produced countless geniuses.
Yet Madara Uchiha was the only one to awaken the Rinnegan!
That was because awakening the Rinnegan required not only a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, but also high-quality Yin Release Chakra from the reincarnation of Ōtsutsuki Indra.
As a result, in every generation, the only person with the potential to awaken the Rinnegan was the reincarnation of Ōtsutsuki Indra.
As for the other Uchiha, even if they were lucky enough to fuse a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, they could go no further.
Shinji wasn't sure whether the quality of his Yin Release Chakra had reached the level of the reincarnation of Ōtsutsuki Indra, but even if it hadn't, the difference was probably tiny.

When Shinji's body had fully accepted the Shinobi World's gift, the Lamp spoke again, informing him of his random reward.
"179 Merit Points." Shinji exhaled, then said to the Lamp, "I choose to upgrade my permissions!"
[Promoting to 'Lantern Bearer' requires 100 Merit Points. Confirm?]
Shinji answered without hesitation. "I confirm!"
``` [Upgrading permissions]
