Chapter 22 - Rules

The familiar sensation returned—

Weightlessness.

Distortion.

Space folding in on itself.

Unlike their first arrival—

This time—

The transition was smoother.

Still unstable.

Still rough.

But controlled.

The kaleidoscopic scenery—

Collapsed inward.

Until—

Everything froze.

They stood once more—

Within the boundless void.

Beneath their feet—

The fractured platform.

At its center—

The massive crystal floated silently.

Cracked.

Dim.

But—

The faint glow at its core—

Was slightly brighter than before.

"…So this is the Main God Space."

Uchiha Xiuren adjusted his glasses.

His gaze swept across the ruin-like expanse.

This—

Was not what he had imagined.

Not a radiant exchange hub.

Not an omnipotent system.

But—

A battlefield.

Ancient.

Broken.

Forgotten.

"Disappointed?"

Uchiha Mo's voice carried a hint of amusement.

"I had the same reaction."

At that moment—

Cold information surged into their minds.

[Mission Settlement: Low-Energy World — Mr. Zombie]

[Main Objective: Collect Natural or Human Energy]

[Completion:]

Natural Energy: 327 Units

Human Energy: 1258 Units

[Evaluation:]

Natural Energy → Tier (300–399)

Human Energy → Tier (1000–1500)

[Rewards:]

Uchiha Mo → 3209 Points | Authority: D-Rank

Uchiha Xiuren → 2341 Points | Authority: E-Rank

Xiuren absorbed everything calmly.

E-Rank authority.

2341 points.

Expected.

At the final stage—

They had taken different paths.

Mo—

Chose slaughter.

Bandits.

Cultivators.

Spirits.

Everything—

Erased.

That kind of efficiency—

Naturally yielded higher energy.

Xiuren—

Chose precision.

Captured the caster.

Extracted knowledge.

Visited hidden connections.

Valuable.

But less efficient.

The difference—

Was inevitable.

Silence returned.

Xiuren focused.

A crude interface formed within his mind.

"What does 'authority' actually do?"

Mo didn't hesitate.

"It determines what you can see."

"And what you can buy."

"Check it."

Xiuren complied.

With E-Rank authority—

The selection was limited.

Basic ninjutsu.

Tools.

Supplies.

Even—

Industrial firearm blueprints.

Prices ranged from dozens—

To hundreds of points.

Blueprints—

The cheapest.

He noticed something else—

A "+" symbol beside each item.

"These?"

"Proficiency upgrades."

Mo answered.

"Only for abilities obtained through the system."

Xiuren nodded.

Already expected.

Then—

He asked the real question.

"The conversion function."

"Foreign techniques → chakra system."

"How does it work?"

Mo smiled.

"Simple."

"Sell it."

"Then buy it back."

Xiuren understood instantly.

He took out a leather scroll.

Corpse Cultivation Essentials.

Uploaded.

[Foreign Knowledge Detected…]

[Analysis Complete]

+380 Points

2341 → 2721

A new entry appeared:

[Chakra-Compatible: Corpse Cultivation Essentials] — 500 Points

Xiuren glanced at the price.

Then—

At the points gained.

"Reasonable."

One by one—

He uploaded everything.

Ghost Manipulation.

Feng Shui Analysis.

Talisman Theory.

Corpse Puppet Refinement.

Each conversion—

Raised his total.

Until—

4541 points.

A new category appeared:

[World: Mr. Zombie]

Everything they contributed—

Stored here.

Outside it—

The default system remained unchanged:

Ninjutsu.

Tools.

Supplies.

Blueprints.

Two systems.

Side by side.

One—

Built by them.

The other—

Predefined.

"So…"

Xiuren concluded calmly.

"Each world creates its own category."

Then—

He looked at Mo.

"Why can't I see your previous worlds?"

Mo smiled.

"You already know the answer."

Then—

He explained:

"Veterans see everything from those below."

"Newcomers…"

"See nothing from above."

"And later—"

"You'll see what comes after you."

"But they won't see what you built here."

"Knowledge flows upward."

"Never downward."

Silence.

The rule—

Was absolute.

Hierarchy—

Clear.

Control—

Unquestionable.

Xiuren processed it.

Then—

Nodded.

No resistance.

No complaint.

Because this—

Was familiar.

The Uchiha—

Understood hierarchy.

Understood power.

Understood dominance.

This system—

Was not unfair.

It was honest.

"Understood."

His tone calm.

But his eyes—

Sharpened.

Because now—

The path was clear.

To rise—

You must build faster—

And go further—

Than everyone else.
