Everyone Had Their Own Thoughts

Beneath the warm white orb in Main God Plaza, Orochimaru stood silently, carrying 9,000 points. His expression shifted between delight and disappointment as he stared at the exchange list and saw the reward he had dreamed of: immortality!

He had never felt immortality was so close, almost within reach!

Tang Sanzang's flesh, a mythical item, the reincarnated body of Golden Cicada; eat it, and you would live as long as heaven and earth...

Nine-thousand-year Peaches of Immortality, elixirs of immortality, mythical bloodlines, mechanical ascension, ancient god's minions...

The myriad wondrous treasures stirred Orochimaru's heart beneath his composed exterior. He unconsciously parted his lips, trying to steady himself.

Despite the many methods of immortality shaking him to the core, the astronomical point costs quickly brought him back to his senses. Skipping the exorbitantly priced options, he hesitated among the few rewards he could afford, such as the Vampire Viscount Bloodline, the Basic Undead Bloodline, and the One Piece World's "Pure Gold." In the end, he decided to hold off on exchanging for anything.

After all, though he could afford those rewards for now, each had its own drawbacks, more or less. He was better off turning his points into strength. As for immortality, he figured it might well come naturally as he pursued power...

In the end, Orochimaru chose to exchange for an eye technique: [Eye of Keikogi? Inferior]

Rating: C-rank, Perfect

Price: 3 C-rank side-mission rewards, 5,000 points

Description: Copy and completely master any abilities up to and including high second-tier abilities. Maximum number mastered at once: 5;

Note: Requires a special constitution. Abilities with prerequisites cannot be copied.

The Eye of Keikogi, also known as the "Martial Arts Observer" skill, was an abnormal eye technique. No matter what it was—written text, weapon use, various strange martial arts, or even physical traits such as the hereditary abilities of other races—if it existed in the world, seeing it once was enough to understand it completely and use it with ease. It was like an enhanced Sharingan.

Its current scope included ninjutsu, Taijutsu, genjutsu, physical traits, languages, writing, True Magic, and more. Using it consumed supernatural power, or, if none was available, life force. Its drawbacks were that it granted no innate auxiliary abilities, such as enhanced physical strength, and the strength of the abilities it could copy depended on the user. It could not copy abilities too far beyond the user's level, such as those one or two tiers higher.

The Inferior Eye of Keikogi was greatly weakened compared with the B-rank Imitation and the A-rank Complete Form. After all, it could only master five abilities at once, each no higher than C-rank Perfect, essentially giving its user five extra skill slots. It also could not copy any abilities that required a specific constitution, bloodline, or race.

Even so, it was an incredibly powerful ability. After all, it was said to contain all the myriad phenomena of the universe!

After Orochimaru finished exchanging for his ability, the others also chose their own rewards. Yet by some unspoken agreement, no one broke the silence.

The Raikage was the first to speak. "We can't investigate where this mysterious space came from or what its purpose is. We only need to understand one thing: its power is beyond anything anyone in the Ninja World can withstand." Ay felt the currents of electricity coursing through every Cell in his body and couldn't help but feel even more reverence for the Main God.

"Isn't that obvious? Whether it's casually killing living beings, traveling between worlds, or these even more miraculous exchange items, everything shows that the Main God is an absolute power. But why would someone like that choose people like us to carry out these so-called missions?" Kisame's years of experience in Anbu had taught him that no kindness in this world came without a reason!

Orochimaru tilted his head slightly and glanced at the others. "Perhaps it's some kind of divine game, or perhaps we mortals have some value we don't know about. Rather than guess at answers that mean nothing, I'm more interested in what everyone exchanged for! The Main God made it clear that, as Reincarnators, our missions will be updated at irregular intervals. We have no right to refuse. We should make ourselves as strong as possible before death comes."

At that, everyone frowned. They all had their own thoughts about the abilities they had exchanged for and didn't want to say much. Put simply, the Main God hadn't revealed the details of the next mission. The people here might still be teammates next time—or they might be enemies! Until their positions were clear, no one would readily reveal their own information!

"How boring! Is this the sort of mindset ninjas have? Heh." Orochimaru licked his lips and sneered. "Main God, I want a customized room!"

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, the white orb above Main God Space released a beam of Projection, and six doors appeared out of thin air around Main God Plaza.

"There are five of us. Why are there six doors?"

They soon noticed that one door was closed and glowing faintly, as if to indicate that it already had an owner. A number was clearly written on it!

The other five newly appeared doors were numbered one through five, corresponding to Orochimaru and the others.

"Could someone else have become a Reincarnator before us? Who?" Kitsuchi exclaimed.

"What makes you think we're the most special ones?" Kisame shot back without mercy.

Pakura, who had remained silent until then, nodded in agreement. "We can be sure that at least one person came before us. But we don't know whether the number represents the number of people. After all, there's only one room here."

"Maybe there's more than one Main God Space!" Orochimaru took things a step further.

The others were greatly shaken by his words. The Raikage spoke up. "That's certainly possible. If the Main God can connect to other worlds, there may be more than one space like this. And the person who came before us might not even be from our world."

Zhu Shen, secretly watching them, was stunned. He knew that Room Number One belonged to Minato, but he'd only made that up on the spot! After all, if the rooms were numbered starting from one, wouldn't it make his Main God Space seem like it had only a handful of people? How could he lead a team like that?

Faced with everyone's wild guesses, Zhu Shen could only say, "That's right, you're all correct! Let's go with that." As it happened, he hadn't planned on creating another Main God Space anyway. But right now, he could only make this one. Until he had control over the world's source in each world, he couldn't casually establish a Main God Space in another world.

By now, everyone in Main God Space had reached their rooms.

Orochimaru looked around. The room was about 200 square meters, an empty space with white walls and no furniture or decorations. With a thought, he spent 50 points, and the room instantly transformed into a small laboratory. Unfortunately, it had only basic workbenches, tables, and chairs—no research equipment or tools.

The Main God could certainly exchange points for mundane physical items that contained no supernatural power. Raw materials were cheap, of course, but complex, high-end research equipment wasn't. Unless you exchanged for raw materials like steel and glass and assembled everything by hand.

Of course, Zhu Shen thoughtfully provided a service that transported any mundane item into a Reincarnator's private room for less than the cost of exchanging for it directly. Private rooms could also be expanded: the original 200 square meters could be upgraded to 2,000, or even 20,000.

Of course, that cost points too!

Zhu Shen felt he was already doing a lot for the Reincarnators. Then he had another thought: how could a Main God Space not offer a life-creation service?

"System, add a life-creation service and grant the Reincarnators secondary access!"

Everyone received a notification in their rooms: [Notice: Reincarnators have passed the novice period. A customized life-creation service has been added. Reincarnators may customize the life's personality and memories. Maximum strength: high first-tier. First creation is free.]

"Creating life? It can even do something like that? This Main God Space is even more powerful and mysterious than I imagined!" Orochimaru silently pondered the possibilities, his curiosity about the Main God reaching its peak.

If so, he might as well give it a try! Following the Main God's instructions, Orochimaru left his room and went to "beneath the great orb" in Main God Plaza, where he ran into the others, each with a different expression.

Kitsuchi, the one with the least presence, was the first to ask, "Can it really create life?"

According to legend in the Ninja World, the Sage of Six Paths was revered as a sage only because he pacified the warring states and founded the Ninja Sect. The Sage of Six Paths had no known stories of creating life, and it was obvious he couldn't have done such a thing. So, when they heard that Main God Space could create life, they had all come to test whether it was true.

The Raikage raised an eyebrow. "Why not try it and find out?" With that, he stepped forward and closed his eyes, reaching out to the Main God orb above.

The others watched the Raikage nervously. Beside them, Orochimaru quietly activated the Eye of Keikogi. Zhu Shen noticed him using the Eye of Keikogi and silently shook his head.

Although the Main God's life-creation service had cost him only 1,000 points to unlock permanently through the system, the system had said this ability operated above the rules. Anything capable of wielding rules was at least a fourth-tier A-rank exchange! A C-rank Perfect skill could never analyze it!

A moment later, after the Raikage had set the new being's appearance, memories, abilities, and features in his mind, a beam of light descended. A dark-skinned man appeared before them.

When they saw the person the Raikage had created, they were all stunned. "Raikage?!"

The artificial human wore a fitted white cloak and a wide belt around his waist. His skin was dark, and his eyes opened to reveal a sharp gaze. This was none other than an artificial Raikage modeled after Raikage A himself!

"You know everything now, right?" Raikage A said to the artificial Raikage, folding his arms across his chest.

The artificial Raikage tilted his head. "Of course, Ay. You're me, and I'm you. You know my memories already, don't you?"

"Ha ha ha! That's perfect. From now on, your name is Abby!" the Raikage laughed. "Now let's see what you can do, Abby!"
