"Ding! What the host said is completely correct!"
After receiving the system's confirmation, Nawaki hurriedly asked, "Since those two conditions are also decisive factors, why didn't either of the two solutions you just proposed involve them?"
"Ding! According to the activation method of the Eight Inner Gates, these two factors are fixed values and cannot be changed!"
Nawaki smiled easily after hearing that. "Looks like your intelligence is still too low, System, which is why your calculations are so rigid! Who said those two factors are fixed? What if we change the order in which the Eight Gates are opened and open them in reverse?"
That was right—Nawaki's idea was to use the Reverse Eight Gates Opening! This inspiration had come from a Naruto fanfiction he had read in his previous life, where the protagonist had gained a cheat that granted permanent enhancements by opening the Eight Gates in reverse, eventually surpassing every powerhouse and reaching the pinnacle of the Shinobi World.
Although permanently and safely opening the Eight Gates through the Reverse Eight Gates Opening to gain enhancements did not make much logical sense—after all, the most likely outcome was being instantly bloated to death by the explosively surging chakra after opening the eighth gate—it was an excellent line of thought for Nawaki, who possessed the Wish Power System. He only needed to ensure that all Eight Gates were opened and complete the transformation into a Sage Body. Even if danger arose, he could repair himself through the system!
After a brief period of calculation, the system finally reached a conclusion. "Ding! According to calculations, after opening the Eight Gates in reverse, the two factors will change. The difficulty of opening the first gate will rise geometrically, while the difficulty of opening the subsequent gates will gradually decrease."
