This mistake, like an invisible sting, is buried deep in the New Empire's blood vessels. Once it breaks out, it will be enough to cause everything he has carefully built to collapse instantly.
It is not a logical loophole, but a spiritual "Original Sin".
The core of <Scarlet Eye Canon> is absolute obedience and spiritual unity, but it is based on a lie - Uchiha Xuan. The historical foundation of this deified existence is still "Uchiha Clan".
The surname itself represents a "past" that can be traced, verified, and questioned.
As long as the "past" exists, true "creation" cannot be achieved.
"Send my order!" Uchiha Xuan's voice broke the dead silence in the cellar. It was so cold without any warmth, as if it came from the Nine Nether Abyss, "With the highest order of Scarlet Eye Tower, it is announced that there is a 'sacred error' in the first edition of <Scarlet Eye Canon>. From now on, all circulating editions on the market will be fully recovered and destroyed, leaving no scraps of paper!"
"Holy error?" Chiyo Saori chewed on this unfamiliar word,
To casually define a fatal mistake that could shake the country as a "sacred error"... This in itself is an extreme form of arrogance and self-confidence.
It seems to be announcing that the mistakes made by God are also part of the miracle, and mortals only need to accept them without understanding.
"Yes, Master Xuan!" Chiyo Saori suppressed the turmoil in his heart and immediately bowed to accept the order.
A storm swept across the entire empire, suddenly and silently.
Three thousand clerical ninjas who were personally selected by Chiyo Saori and had the toughest spirit were urgently summoned to the underground library of Scarlet Eye Tower.
The lights here are brightly lit, as bright as day.
In the next seventy-two hours, they worked without sleep and re-edited <Scarlet Eye Canon> from the ground up at the cost of burning their lives.
Chiyo Saori personally wrote the revision of the core program. When she wrote the first line of changes, even she, a loyal believer who had already sacrificed her soul to Xuan, felt trembling from the bone marrow.
[Old version]: The blood of the Uchiha Clan carries Divine Punishment and glory. Lord Xuan is the ultimate of the Uchiha Clan bloodline, and is the god of the end and the beginning.
[New version]: Delete all records about the origin of "Uchiha Clan".
The first section of the first chapter of the main text is changed to - "Chakra is not yet opened, Chakra is the sea, and the business in the sea is 'Xuan'. Xuan, neither a name nor a surname, is the personified symbol of all energy and will in this world."
This stroke directly severed all connections between Uchiha Xuan and the common concept of "Uchiha Clan".
He is no longer the ancestor of a certain family, but has become the origin of chakra, the embodiment of the laws that govern the world.
Immediately afterwards, came the more subversive modifications.
New chapter <Before the Six Paths>.
This chapter redefines the entire history of Shinobi World in a magnificent and unquestionable way.
It claims that the so-called "Ninshu Progenitor" Sage of Six Paths's power does not come from Divine Tree, but from his luck in obtaining a fragment of the divinity of "Xuan" scattered in the world, thus opening the Ninshu era.
Ōtsutsuki Clan, is even described as a group of side thieves who coveted the original power of "Xuan" and fell.
Senju Clan, Hyūga Clan, Uzumaki Clan... all the prominent blood families are defined as the dilution and variation of the "Xuan" divine power in different periods.
Their existence is only to prove the greatness of the origin.
"Master Xuan," Chiyo Saori put down his pen, his voice trembling slightly with excitement and fear, "Rewritten like this... if someone reads ancient books and compares them with our canon, they will definitely find..."
"What did you find?" Uchiha Xuan didn't know when he was standing behind her, his voice was calm and calm.
Chiyo Saori turned around suddenly and faced the bottomless pair of Rinnegan, feeling that his soul had been seen through instantly.
She swallowed hard. "I found... a contradiction."
"Contradictions only exist in memory." Xuan said calmly, "Then, all you need to do is turn the old memory into a new 'mistake'."
He raised his hand, and a miniature energy core composed of countless runes appeared in his palm.
"Start the 'Memory Tide Plan' plan."
The order was given, and the crystal cores at the top of the hundreds of meters high Scarlet Eye Tower clusters spread throughout the empire lit up with a faint blue light at the same moment.
On the next new moon night, an invisible yet pervasive spiritual wave will be like a tide, centered on all Scarlet Eye Tower, covering the entire territory.
This kind of fluctuation will not rudely tamper with the memory, which is too low-level and can easily cause rebound.
It will only inject a strong "déjà vu" deep into the subconscious of every covered creature, whether ninja or civilian.
When they see or hear the history that matches the new version <Scarlet Eye Canon>, they will have a sense of "ah, that's how it is".
And when they read those ancient books that contradict it, a kind of instinctive suspicion and rejection will arise spontaneously, and they feel that "something written here seems not right."
Half a month later, Land of Wind was in a study room in the old capital.
A respected old scholar was stroking an ancient history book that had been passed down from generation to generation in his family.
His brows were furrowed, his face full of confusion and struggle.
"No... no... how could Hashirama Senju be the Xuan Descendants branch? It's written wrong... it's all wrong..."
He murmured to himself, his eyes changing from confusion to disgust, and finally to a hint of fanatical clarity.
Under the horrified gaze of his family, he personally threw the priceless book into the fireplace with trembling hands.
"Filthy things do not deserve to exist in the world!" He shouted loudly, as if he had completed a sacred purification.
At the same time, Scarlet Eye Legion, deputy commander Baba Tesshin, is leading a team to carry out an inventory of libraries and big family libraries across the country.
However, he mentioned in his report that some of the oldest classics were protected by powerful sealing barriers and hidden deep in secret places, and it would take at least Kage Level strength to crack them.
Uchiha Xuan's figure appeared directly in the restricted area of Land of Wind's oldest central bookstore.
This is the knowledge barrier that Sunagakure spent several generations building. The seal is so strong that not even Fourth Kazekage could easily open it.
Xuan did not perform any cracking, but stood calmly in front of the huge stone door.
He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingans were spinning strangely.
Between the eyebrows, the Divine Seed mark representing Six Paths Power suddenly erupted with a dazzling bright light!
"Buzz--!"
The light was like a sharp sword, instantly penetrating the stone gate and barrier.
In an instant, the words on all the sealed scrolls, stone tablets, and bamboo slips in the entire underground building seemed to be given life.
The ink marks that recorded "Sarutobi Clan", "Hyūga Clan", and "Senju Clan" were like living snakes crazily twisting, wandering, and reorganizing on the paper.
When the light dissipated, everything returned to calm.
The puppet sent by Baba Tesshin to investigate carefully went deep into the restricted area and took out a volume of ancient books that had just been "reshaped".
The puppet's eyes flashed with red light, scanning the content mechanically. After a moment, a cold electronic sound sounded on the channel:
"Reporting to Master Xuan, the content of the target book has been synchronized with the new version of <Scarlet Eye Canon>. Canon consistency check: passed."
At this point, the history of the physical and spiritual levels has been tampered with at the same time.
After Chiyo Saori learned all this, he raised his final concern. "Master Xuan, revising and burning historical facts on such a large scale is tantamount to creating a huge knowledge gap out of thin air. This... I am afraid it will affect the cognitive construction of the new generation of ninjas, and even lead to the regression of civilization."
"Faults are the best blank pages." Xuan's answer was as cold and precise as ever, "Only a blank page can draw the most perfect picture."
He immediately issued an order to deliberately add a large number of "missing chapter" marks to all textbooks and reading materials in the new edition.
<Blank Chapter III: The truth before the chaos>
<To be opened: the real day of creation>
And it is marked in eye-catching red letters next to it. "These mythical secrets contain supreme power. Only the subjects of the empire who have passed the coming-of-age ceremony and are proved to have 'true blood' are qualified to read it."
This act of pulling out all the firewood instantly transformed the negative factor of "knowledge gap" into the ultimate goal that the entire nation is passionately pursuing.
Countless teenagers will regard being able to read "The Missing Chapter" as a lifelong honor.
The worship of "hidden history" has completely replaced the search for the truth.
The day the new version <Scarlet Eye Canon> was released.
Within the empire, in tens of thousands of newly built Academys, more than a million children opened a brand new textbook at the same time, and read the first sentence of the opening chapter in unison with their young and loud voices.
"In the beginning of heaven and earth, there was only one sound - Xuan."
The sound waves gathered into a sea, soared into the sky, and made the sky tremble slightly.
Even the wild dogs that were far away on the border munching carrion bones seemed to have been inspired by something, stopped moving, raised their heads, and let out deep whimpers.
Uchiha Xuan stands on the highest floor of Scarlet Eye Tower, overlooking the sea of people in the square below who are undulating like a tide and kneeling enthusiastically.
His rule reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.
However, at this most glorious moment, an extremely slight feeling of dizziness came over without warning.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold on to the cold railing, and out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of his own face reflected on the giant copper bell that was as smooth as a mirror beside him.
It was that moment.
The person in the mirror had no expression on his face, but his lips moved silently.
Uchiha Xuan and Rinnegan could clearly see that it was a mouth shape that he had never made himself.
"He" in the mirror said two words in an extremely indifferent tone.
--"Patricide."
Uchiha Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank into needles.
He slowly clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
An unprecedented chill quietly grew from the depths of his god-level body, which had already transcended life and death.
"It seems..." he whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "Even the script I wrote myself has begun to disobey."
His gaze passed through the crowd and turned to the far south, which was the direction of Hidden Leaf Village and the original holy land of the Uchiha Clan - Naka River Shrine.
There are some things that I need to go back and confirm.
Does the "disobedience" that is quietly sprouting in his body originate from the world that he has forcibly distorted, or... from himself.
