Ye Chen Binds the Uzumaki Nagato Character Card and Summons the Six Paths of Pain at the Start

Douluo Continent

Vast Sea City

"Ding..."

A red-haired teenager who was drinking alone in a small tavern suddenly raised his face, joy flashing across his features.

Having transmigrated for a year and a half, he had been freeloading in Vast Sea City with a soul power of level twenty-eight, yet he had never been able to advance any further.

He wouldn't even dare to dream about beating Tang San or violently thrashing the Shrek Seven Monsters.

That was because his soul power was only at level 28—a whole level lower than the good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang—and his martial soul was the most ordinary Eye of the Deep Sea among sea soul masters.

Yet things were different now; the system had arrived.

This wonderful ding-ding-ding made Ye Chen immensely excited.

"System binding successful..."

Congratulations to host Ye Chen for acquiring the Divine Character Lottery System. By drawing character cards and completing missions, you can acquire the character's full abilities. The host has just bound the system and can perform one immediate lottery draw. Would you like to start the draw?

"Draw!"

Ye Chen hurriedly replied in his mind.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the character card: Nagato Uzumaki. As long as you open the character column, you can use the character cards you have obtained. Upon use, the host will possess all the abilities the character has unlocked..."

"Nagato Uzumaki, isn't that a character from Naruto?"

Joy welled up in Ye Chen's heart as he hurriedly opened the character column to check the attributes of Nagato Uzumaki's character card.

Name: Nagato Uzumaki

Abilities:

Rinnegan (Unlocked)

Six Paths of Pain (Unlocked, summonable at any time)

Banshō Ten'in (Unlocked)

Shinra Tensei (Unlocked)

Planetary Devastation (Locked, can be unlocked by completing character missions.)

"I can actually summon the Six Paths of Pain as well..."

Ye Chen could no longer conceal the excitement in his heart. He directly clicked to use the character card, and the next second, the world before his eyes changed.

A mysterious power seemed to surge within his body...

"What is going on?"

Ye Chen hurriedly sat up from his chair. He found that the world before his eyes had become incomparably clear; he could see places very, very far away, and he could even perceive the fluctuations of soul power on the surrounding soul masters.

"This is..."

"This is the Rinnegan. The host has used the character card and now possesses all of Nagato Uzumaki's abilities except Planetary Devastation... However, the host's appearance has not changed and remains your own..."

"What, the Rinnegan..."

Finding it hard to believe, Ye Chen rushed over to the tavern mirror and looked closely, seeing to his astonishment that his originally azure-blue eyes had now transformed into rippled Rinnegan.

After a moment of thought, Ye Chen understood what had happened.

"Indeed, this character card has already fused with me. Right now, not only do I possess the Rinnegan, but I can also summon the Six Paths of Pain."

At the exact moment of fusing with the character card, a flood of complete information regarding the character's abilities filled Ye Chen's mind. He raised both hands, quickly formed a few hand seals, and with a puff, a burst of white smoke exploded from beneath his feet...

As the white smoke gradually dissipated,

six pairs of rippled Rinnegan appeared before Ye Chen. All six figures wore the Akatsuki Organization's black trench coats with red clouds, looking at him with entirely expressionless faces.

Standing right in the center was the Deva Path.

Flanking the left and right were the Asura Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Preta Path, and Hell Path.

"Holy cow, it's actually real..."

Instead of being startled, Ye Chen let out an excited shout.

"Six Paths of Pain, assemble..."

The system's voice resounded in Ye Chen's mind once more.

Congratulations to host for receiving the beginner's gift pack reward...

Reward 1: Nagato Uzumaki character card ability enhancement. The method of controlling the Six Paths of Pain via chakra receivers is canceled, replaced by telepathic control. As long as they are within a certain range, the host can completely control the Six Paths of Pain at will using thoughts, and can share a field of vision with the Six Paths of Pain...

Reward 2: One Death Gate Guy character card. Upon use, you will possess the physique of Death Gate Guy, able to freely open the first seven gates of the Eight Inner Gates, while opening the eighth gate requires completing a character mission.

(Using different character cards simultaneously will not cause a conflict. If two character cards possess the identical ability, the ability from one of the character cards will automatically cancel out.)

Good grief, even Death Gate Guy popped up.

The Six Paths of Pain controllable by mind, coupled with the Eight Inner Gates of Death Gate Guy...

Wasn't this going to beat the living daylights out of Tang San...

Ye Chen could no longer conceal his wild elation. In his eyes, this reward was simply too heaven-defying.

One had to know that the sole weakness of the Six Paths of Pain lay in the chakra receivers; once opponents discovered this secret and tracked down the main body, it would become extremely dangerous.

Yet controlling the Six Paths of Pain through mere thoughts left behind not a single trace.

The Six Paths of Pain without weaknesses could be called absolute invincibility.

"Hey, where did you guys come from... What's with this outfit?"

Right at that moment, several sea soul masters nearby seemed to feel disturbed and strode over toward them.

The leader among them walked up to the foremost Deva Path of Pain and blustered arrogantly,

"Outland soul master, coming to drink in my territory... You have to pay Gold Soul Coins for this... Huh, what..."

Before the leading sea soul master could finish speaking, he abruptly felt his body lose control as he flew backward.

"Banshō Ten'in..."

Ye Chen uttered these four words in his heart, only to find the words immediately spoken aloud by the Deva Path, echoing with the Deva Path's own voice.

"Banshō Ten'in..."

"Shinra Tensei..."

After pulling that leading sea soul master over, the Deva Path of Pain instantly unleashed Shinra Tensei, directly blasting that leading sea soul master along with the several lackeys behind him flying backward in a messy tumble. The entire tavern shook violently and nearly collapsed.

"So strong..."

Ye Chen inwardly marveled. As he just stepped out of the tavern, the system's voice rang out in his mind once again.

Ding... Character mission successfully issued. Upon completion, the Rinnegan will transform into the host's true martial soul, the host's soul power will rise to level 70, and you will also unlock the ultimate ninjutsu of the character Nagato Uzumaki: Planetary Devastation...

"Soul power boosted to level 70, Planetary Devastation..."

A bright gleam instantly lit up in Ye Chen's eyes.

Mission Requirements: Dispatch the Six Paths of Pain to heavily injure the Shrek Seven Monsters who are preparing to head to Sea God Island for training, thwart their plan to journey to Sea God Island for training, and snatch the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from Tang San's hands...

Currently, the Shrek Seven Monsters and Bai Chenxiang—eight individuals in total—are on their way to Vast Sea City and will arrive in roughly five hours.

"Dispatch the Six Paths of Pain... Heavily injure the Shrek Seven Monsters... So the plot has already progressed this far. It seems I transmigrated a little late; Xiao Wu has already sacrificed herself."

Ye Chen pondered in his heart.

Yet upon second thought, he didn't seem to have much interest in the Shrek Three Beauties anyway. Hu Liena, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Bo Saixi were far more alluring than them.

"In that case then... Let's beat up Tang San and Xiao Wu together... Want to go to Sea God Island to train and stop the Spirit Hall Empire? Hehe, let's see if you can beat my Six Paths of Pain..."

A playful smile surfaced at the corners of Ye Chen's lips, and he immediately replied in his mind,

"Fine, I accept the mission. Don't worry, I guarantee the Shrek Seven Monsters and Bai Chenxiang won't make it to Sea God Island, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud will definitely be mine."

With that, Ye Chen instructed the Six Paths of Pain to move out ahead, heading in the direction outside the city.
