Chapter 1960 The Uchiha bloodline returns to its ancestral form, and the perspective is elevated under the "Rinnegan"!
Spiritual energy is the key to unlocking this era, the energy that allows life to evolve.
The leap in life level is often accompanied by the awakening of bloodlines, tracing back to a more ancient and powerful source.
This is atavism.
For the Uchiha clan, the source of the power flowing in their blood is the Otsutsuki clan.
Even without the immense life energy of a Sage Body, and without Hashirama Senju's cells as a catalyst and balance, the Uchiha bloodline, pure to the extreme, still knocked on the door to the ultimate realm as it was nourished by spiritual energy and its own life level continued to rise.
Madara Uchiha, after obtaining Hashirama Senju's cells, spent many years developing the Rinnegan in his twilight years.
Afterwards, he transplanted it to Nagato Uzumaki, using the powerful vitality of the Uzumaki clan and the characteristics of a descendant of a Sage Body to drive this excessively heavy power.
But Uchiha Ten was different. He didn't need to transplant other people's cells to develop the Rinnegan. His bloodline broke through the shackles under the nourishment of spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy permeates all things indiscriminately, driving evolution.
It is both the nourishment for the growth of every inch of his flesh and blood and every bit of his pupil power, and indirectly stimulates the dormant power deep within his bloodline.
As his own level of life continues to rise with his mastery of the Eternal Kaleidoscope and his deepening understanding of the world, the atavism of his bloodline becomes a natural occurrence, rather than a shackle that needs to be forcibly pried open by external forces.
Spiritual energy replaced the immense life force of the "immortal body," nourishing his body in a more grand way and supporting the terrifying need for the essence of life to return to one's ancestral bloodline.
He and Madara Uchiha are ultimately different; just like the difference between this world and the ninja world.
Uchiha Ten didn't need to try anything to awaken the Rinnegan. He only needed to cultivate continuously, reach a higher level, and allow his bloodline to transform and revert to its ancestral form, and he would naturally awaken the Rinnegan.
He is now only a thin membrane away from awakening the Rinnegan, and he can feel that this final membrane is about to shatter.
Boom!!!
A deafening roar erupted.
Centered on the cliff where Uchiha Ten stood, the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles, or even a wider area, seemed to have heard the king's command, instantly transforming from a calm flow into a violent vortex, frantically converging towards him.
The clouds and mist above the sea were torn apart, forming a huge funnel-shaped vortex that plunged straight down; the waves that had been rhythmically lapping the shore below suddenly went out of control, creating giant waves tens of meters high.
He stood at the eye of the storm, enduring a terrifying influx of spiritual energy.
The surging spiritual energy, like a violent torrent, forcefully washed over every part of his body; finally, it rushed towards those eyes that were undergoing earth-shattering changes!
Originating from the deepest part of the Uchiha clan's bloodline, the power belonging to the "Otsutsuki" is being activated and awakened.
The hair, which was originally as black as night, began to fade at a visible rate from the roots.
Silver, white, and light blue—a blend of colors that seemed to flow through his hair like moonlight, snowfields, and glaciers.
Ultimately, all the colors merged into a pure, flawless, and seemingly untouched "silver white".
Her long hair flew wildly in the turbulent vortex of spiritual energy, each strand seemingly containing a faint glow and exuding an ancient majesty.
And this is just the beginning of the change.
The real transformation happened in every part of his body, in every cell.
The surging spiritual energy penetrated deep into every cell of his body.
The heartbeat became deep and resonant, each contraction and relaxation echoing like thunder within the chest. The pumped blood began to shimmer with tiny, pale silver specks, like stardust, carrying immense vitality as it surged through the limbs and bones.
The blood itself seemed to possess a certain vitality and spirit, and as it flowed through the blood vessels, it faintly emitted the sound of a babbling brook, yet also contained the subtle sounds of wind and thunder.
Under the cleansing of spiritual energy and the nourishment of the power of the bloodline, the internal organs shed their mortal fragility and became crystal clear and resilient, as if they were carved from the finest spiritual jade, each emitting a different faint light and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own.
Next came his torso and limbs.
The bones became increasingly crystalline and solid, with a density far exceeding that of refined gold, yet remained as light as ever; the muscle lines did not become excessively bulky, but rather became smoother and more perfect, with each muscle fiber seemingly rewoven, capable of stirring up the airflow around the body with a casual movement.
Her skin was as smooth as the finest silk, yet resilient enough to withstand attacks from those below the first tier.
The inherent cycle of growth, aging, disease, and death of mortals was greatly disrupted and extended in his body. Cell activity was permanently maintained at its peak, the aging process was infinitely slowed down, and even began to reverse, stabilizing his physical condition in his most perfect youth.
An indescribable, almost immortal vitality emanated from every part of his body.
As life progresses, strength evenly fills every corner of his body, seeping into his blood, etched into his bones, stored in his internal organs, and flowing beneath his skin.
As this transformative metamorphosis of his body neared completion, the power originating from his bloodline surged wildly towards the final, and most drastically changed, area—his eyes.
Beneath Uchiha Ten's tightly closed eyelids, the long-awaited transformation finally reached its final moment of completion.
He slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, it seemed as if two miniature, purple universes were born and unfolded in his eye sockets.
It is no longer scarlet, nor is it a simple magatama pattern.
The whites of his eyes turned into a deep purple, and in the center of that purple universe, several nested concentric rings replaced the pupils.
The ring has a richer, more noble dark purple hue, with nine tiny, black magatama-like markings evenly distributed on it.
Those eyes were cold, ancient, and inhuman.
It no longer carries the intense emotional color of the "Sharingan" era; instead, it possesses a rationality and divinity that looks down upon all living beings, disregards reincarnation, and understands the rules.
Between the opening and closing of his eyes, it seemed as if all things in the universe were born and died within them, and all things in heaven and earth were shining and fading within them.
In my pupils, the tranquil night sea and the stars in the sky are reflected, but deeper still, something more essential seems to be reflected.
Uchiha Ten watched quietly.
Through these "Rinnegan" eyes, the world appears completely different in his perception.
He succeeded.
In the most primal way, nourished by the spiritual energy of this world and propelled by its own life level, its bloodline returned to its ancestral form, awakening the power of the Otsutsuki and opening these eyes that symbolize the supreme.
Rinnegan.
Her moon-like silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, shimmering with a soft glow.
After its transformation, its tall and slender body, every inch of which contained terrifying power and an aura of immortality, stood silently atop the cliff.
In the end, it was those slowly rotating, deep purple Rinnegan eyes, with their nine tomoe floating and sinking, that quietly gazed upon this world that had been completely transformed in his eyes.
The sea breeze carried the hazy hustle and bustle of distant cities; but all of this seemed so far away from him.
However, it wouldn't be accurate to say that these newly formed Rinnegan instantly transformed the world he saw into a completely unfamiliar landscape.
The world remains the same on the surface: mountains are mountains, seas are seas, and city lights are city lights.
What has changed is the deeper, more essential "truth" that lies beneath the surface, a truth that was originally hidden but is now subtly revealing itself to him.
His leap in strength stemmed from a leap in his level of life, a comprehensive qualitative change brought about by his already sublimated Otsutsuki body, which contained an aura of immortality.
The awakening of the Rinnegan is simply an "eye" that naturally arises from the bloodline after this life leap is completed; it is a natural result.
His eyes themselves did not grant him any particular power.
However, it brought about an elevation of "perspective".
Gravity and repulsion, the two most fundamental forces that constitute the interaction of the material world, are now as clear to him as the lines on his palm.
He could even “feel” the massive gravitational field of the Earth beneath his feet, the tidal forces caused by the pull of the moon in the distance, and the minuscule force exerted on every speck of dust in the air.
With the slightest thought, one can interfere with and control them, as naturally as breathing.
This is just one of the most basic "powers" that come naturally with the awakening of these eyes.
What truly caused him to momentarily lose his composure was that fleeting "vision" that transcended the ordinary material world.
Just as he was getting used to the new vision brought by the Rinnegan and trying to extend his perception to a deeper level, in just a breath or two, his "vision" seemed to penetrate the "surface" of the real world and glimpse a vast "ocean" that was indescribable and breathtakingly magnificent.
It was an "ocean" made up of countless "spheres of light".
Countless orbs of light, each radiating a different glow, filled every inch of his "vision."
Some lights shine as brightly as stars, some as faintly as fireflies; some are warm and bright, some are dark and cold; some are vibrant with life, some are deathly still.
They are not static, but like plankton in the ocean, they either drift with the current or attract and repel each other. Furthermore, new orbs of light are constantly "dripping down" from the unknown "above" and merging into this vast ocean.
And every second—yes, he could even "sense" the passage of time—a vast number of orbs of light, like raindrops, fell from "above" into this "ocean," creating ripples before slowly sinking.
The scene was too magnificent and too shocking.
Having "seen" it for less than two seconds, or perhaps even less, Uchiha Ten felt a tremor from the depths of his soul and a slight dizziness.
The strange "perspective" receded quickly like the tide, and the scene before my eyes returned to normal.
Night, the sea, cliffs, and distant city lights.
That "ocean" has disappeared.
No matter how hard he concentrated or how much he activated the power of his Rinnegan, he could not capture that fleeting glimpse of the scene again.
Uchiha Ten stood quietly in place, his silver hair fluttering slightly in the night breeze, and for the first time, deep contemplation and solemnity were revealed in his purple Rinnegan eyes.
What I just saw was definitely not an illusion.
What are those orbs of light? Are they souls? Imprints of life? Some kind of aggregate of information?
What is that "ocean"? Is it the "destination" that encompasses everything? Is it the "other side" of the world? Or is it a higher-dimensional form of existence?
What does the sphere of light, dripping and sinking every second, signify? Is it extinction? Is it a return? Or is it another form of transformation?
Questions flooded in like a tide, but there were no answers.
But Uchiha Ten had a strong premonition in his heart.
That ocean of light spheres, those points of light constantly falling and sinking, are related to "death," or rather, to the concept of "reincarnation."
This premonition was not based on any rational analysis or known knowledge; rather, it was more like an instinct passed on to him by the Rinnegan itself when it glimpsed that scene.
Since this scene was a fleeting glimpse during the moment he awakened the Rinnegan and leaped to a higher level of life, it must be inextricably linked to the Rinnegan.
What he glimpsed was perhaps a true reflection of the cycle of life and death in this world.
However, if that ocean composed of countless orbs of light is a kind of embodiment of "death" in this world, and the final destination of the essence of existence after countless lives have vanished, then...
So, are those orbs of light emitting different glows the souls of the dead?
In other words, the world does not have a "six realms of reincarnation" system.
Death may be closer to a process of "dissolution" and "return".
After an individual's life ends, their soul cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation; instead, it condenses into a "sphere of light" and falls into that "ocean."
That "ocean" itself is the ultimate "grave."
The "spheres of light" float and sink within it, their radiance perhaps influencing each other, or more likely, over a long timescale, they are slowly "dissolved" and "assimilated" by this all-encompassing "ocean".
Returning to its most primitive form of existence, it becomes the nameless nourishment that constitutes this "ocean" itself.
Does "reincarnation" not exist?
If this conjecture is close to the truth, then should we say it's a good thing?
At least in this way, if the "Heretical Reincarnation Technique" can work, there is no need to worry about the inability to resurrect the dead due to the reincarnation of the soul.
But is there any possibility of success with the "heretical method of reincarnation and rebirth"?
Uchiha Ten's Rinnegan shifted slightly, its purple aura deepening.
According to the original understanding, casting that spell involves using the caster's life as a catalyst to forcibly demand the soul of the deceased from the "underworld" or "pure land," and then calling it back to the present world to give it a new life.
But what if there is no clear "underworld" in this world, and only this ocean that constantly "melts" away the spheres of soul light?
The so-called "resurrection" is to precisely "salvage" a specific "sphere of light" from this vast ocean, and "drag" it back to the present world, giving it a complete form and vitality again.
The difficulty involved is probably far beyond what we can imagine.
Even if the Rinnegan can work, how much of a role can it play?
