On November 30th, Yu Zhibo woke up early, anticipating the arrival of his delivery.
From the Ningcheng spatial transfer array emerged a B-class transcendent. After presenting a series of credentials and having his spiritual energy attributes verified, he took to the skies, flying directly to the agreed-upon delivery location: the entrance of the sub-bureau.
“Where is he?” The B-class delivery man landed at the sub-bureau entrance, looking around at the empty surroundings with a hint of confusion.
Just then, a powerful mental force swept over him. Soon, a blur appeared before him, gradually solidifying.
Yu Zhibo’s potent A-class aura was released for a moment before being swiftly contained. He nodded slightly, smiling at the delivery man. “Apologies, I’m a little late!”
“You’re right on time!” the delivery man said respectfully, then pulled a jade bottle from his pocket. “This is the item you purchased.”
“Thank you for your trouble!” Yu Zhibo nodded politely, took the jade bottle, and signed the accompanying receipt. As he turned to leave, he noticed a hesitant expression on the delivery man’s face.
“Is there something else?”
“Perhaps it’s a bit presumptuous, but I admire you greatly. If it’s possible… could I get a photo with you?”
The delivery man looked at Yu Zhibo, his face filled with adoration, admiration, and excitement.
Yu Zhibo couldn’t help but show a look of bewilderment.
The reason was simple: his popularity was currently sky-high.
Over the past three days, with the deliberate promotion by the Information Department, numerous videos of Yu Zhibo’s battles had begun to circulate rapidly online.
Among them, the scene of him manifesting a hundreds-of-meters-tall armored celestial fox during his fight with Zhu Yan was edited and released, astonishing everyone.
Humans are visual creatures. Besides the video of his battle with Zhu Yan, the most popular was undoubtedly the footage of him using the Myriad Thunder Array to travel to the Demon City battlefield, where lightning crackled and sea beasts turned to ash with every step, sending the audience into collective euphoria.
Following that was the scene of him commanding Zhu Yan to battle two giant crabs, tearing them apart with his bare hands, which also evoked immense shock.
During these three days, with his immense popularity, the Chinese government had clearly recognized the massive traffic he generated. If harnessed effectively, it could even directly reverse the public’s pessimistic outlook on the invasion of anomalous creatures.
Therefore, in his subsequent battles, he was asked to stream them live whenever possible, with the Information Department then editing and promoting the recordings.
Yu Zhibo, naturally, complied, especially since he was earning ‘emotion points’ from it.
Subsequently, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel to various battlefields, either capturing or crushing dozens of A-class sea beasts. Just yesterday morning, he was urgently dispatched to Ningbo City, where he used his Lightning Release to kill a Rank 11 A-class anomaly, saving an entire city.
All these battles were recorded.
Furthermore, to make the streams more impactful, he had also spent time learning camera techniques. Each broadcast was filmed like a blockbuster movie. In the nearly hundred battles over these three days, he had showcased hundreds of ninjutsu and senjutsu, presenting them to the public in various dazzling forms.
Under this visual feast, the audience erupted in excitement. Especially upon learning that he had only awakened his abilities two months prior, they were profoundly shocked, which in turn ignited an unprecedented fervor for cultivation.
As anomalous creatures invaded and nations around the world began to fall, China needed a legendary figure to bolster the people’s confidence. This person didn’t necessarily need to be the strongest, but they had to be legendary.
Yu Zhibo, in this era, had become the banner figure of the new age.
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
After the successful photo, amidst the delivery man’s repeated thanks, Yu Zhibo waved goodbye and vanished from the spot.
“Is this the True Phoenix Blood?”
In Room 202, Yu Zhibo held the small jade bottle in his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity.
At that moment, a system notification appeared in his mind.
“Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Pseudo True Phoenix Blood. This blood, derived from a chicken with a trace of True Phoenix bloodline, was transformed by high-level planar life substances. It can be fused by consuming one hundred thousand energy points, allowing for partial regeneration of the body.”
After reading the system information, Yu Zhibo’s face lit up with interest.
“No wonder it took three days to deliver. So this thing is made from chicken blood, and there’s a whole process involved… And it seems China has a complete procedure for accessing high-level planes!”
He supposed it made sense. True Phoenix Blood was incredibly precious. If China could freely hunt True Phoenixes in another high-level plane, they would have long ago sent powerful individuals to crush all enemies.
“Next, let’s see if I can regenerate my Sharingan.”
Yu Zhibo’s face showed anticipation, and he then entered the Heart of the World Fragment.
The area within the Heart of the World Fragment had now expanded to a radius of twenty kilometers. Outside the protective barrier, lightning descended, constantly cleansing and purifying the dark energy from the outside, causing the pure land space to expand slightly each day.
Within the pure land, eighteen massive coffins had been placed. Each coffin was inscribed with summoning seals, allowing them to be summoned during battles.
Besides the neatly arranged giant coffins, in the southeastern corner, within a small protective barrier, lay over twenty corpses of anomalous beasts, including Zhu Yan and Hao Zhi. These served as materials for the Edo Tensei technique. Eight of these corpses had not yet been processed for Edo Tensei, and suitable anomalous beasts would need to be captured as materials later.
These reanimated beasts were the spoils of his constant battles in recent days.
Meanwhile, in the western forest of the pure land, three clones were researching new ninjutsu.
With his level increasing to A-class and the acquisition of Yin-Yang Release, Yu Zhibo’s speed in developing new ninjutsu had significantly improved.
Through continuous research over the past three days, his clones had first developed Wind Release, one of the five basic elements, and then combined it with Water Release to develop Ice Release. Subsequently, by mixing Fire Release and Earth Release, they developed Crystal Release and Explosion Release, yielding significant results.
Currently, his clones were researching Dust Release and Magnetic Release, and he believed new results would emerge soon.
“Troublesome, I don’t even know which skill to use anymore. I hope these ninjutsu can evolve into laws later, allowing me to quickly reach Level 99!”
Yu Zhibo murmured, then turned his gaze to the imitation True Phoenix Blood in his hand. With a thought, a bottle of Spiritual Wood Source Liquid flew out from a wooden house and landed in his palm.
This bottle of Spiritual Wood Source Liquid was something he had extracted earlier, intended to preserve the harvested Sharingan and maintain its vitality.
“They say the Uchiha clan’s eyes are plug-and-play. This is my first time removing an eye. I hope the result doesn’t disappoint.”
After a brief internal monologue, he activated his Sharingan. One eye was the completed Mangekyo Sharingan, while the other, after three days, had transformed from its original pale white to a two-tomoe Sharingan.
Then, with his slender hands, he covered his eyes. Spiritual energy surged, spreading towards his eye sockets. When he removed his hands, his eye sockets were empty, looking quite terrifying. In his palm lay two eyeballs.
“Hilarious, it doesn’t hurt at all. I’ve already severed the pain nerves connecting the eyeballs to my body. It’s as convenient as unplugging a USB.”
Having done this, he tightened his grip on the hand holding the imitation True Phoenix Blood and silently thought, “Fuse.”
As his thought settled, the blood in the jade bottle instantly evaporated, transforming into a mist of blood that entered his body. A peculiar energy circulated within him, then, carrying a portion of his original power, it moved towards his eye sockets. Yu Zhibo willed it, using the Palm Sage Technique to reconnect the pain nerves.
Soon, a sensation of pain, numbness, and itching spread through his eyes. Flesh and meridians began to weave and move within his eye sockets. After ten minutes, a pair of eyeballs formed within them.
Yu Zhibo opened his eyes. His dark pupils turned scarlet, and then a single tomoe appeared, followed by a second, and then a third.
After evolving to the third tomoe, the tomoe stopped rotating. Yu Zhibo’s internal original power, along with the bloodline power of the imitation True Phoenix Blood, was completely depleted.
“System, why didn’t it evolve into Mangekyo?”
“The Host’s Mangekyo Sharingan involves the Yin-Yang Great Dao. The Pseudo True Phoenix Blood and the Host’s original power are insufficient to fully replicate it!”
“Failed to exploit a loophole?” Yu Zhibo showed a look of disappointment, but he wasn’t entirely surprised.
He pondered for a moment, then with a thought, his immense Yin Release power surged into his eyes, making his three-tomoe Sharingan even brighter. However, after reaching its limit, it stopped evolving, unable to progress further towards Mangekyo.
At that moment, the system prompt sounded:
[Detected that the Host’s three-tomoe Sharingan has reached its limit. Do you wish to spend 5 billion to evolve it into Mangekyo Sharingan?
Note: The second-generation Mangekyo Sharingan, due to the Host’s original Mangekyo not being damaged, can only evolve simple abilities. This includes the use of Susanoo and the mental power amplification equivalent to the Mangekyo realm, but cannot grant sealing artifacts or other special abilities.]
“This is so watered down!”
Yu Zhibo sighed, and at the same time, chose to spend 5 billion energy points to evolve.
As his thought took hold, the spiritual doll in his Niwan Palace suddenly shrank by a circle. It then transformed into multicolored energy, which, along with a vast amount of Yin Release power, surged towards his eyes. Soon, a Mangekyo Sharingan formed, with two Arabic numerals ‘8’ intertwined.
Yu Zhibo examined the abilities of the Mangekyo Sharingan, his expression resembling that of someone who had just eaten a fly, and he recalled Mr. Zhou Xunren.
“I have two Mangekyo eyes. One Mangekyo enhances mental power by 80%, and the other Mangekyo also enhances mental power by 80%…”
Yu Zhibo shook his head, dug out the new Mangekyo Sharingan, and then placed his original Mangekyo back into his eye sockets.
Soon, the eye’s meridians reconnected, and Yu Zhibo regained his sight.
Then, he pressed the new Mangekyo into his eye socket.
In his mind, the system prompt appeared: Detected that the Host possesses Mangekyo Sharingan of the same bloodline, and the left eye’s Mangekyo state has not degenerated. Do you wish to fuse them to generate Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?
Yu Zhibo silently thought, “Fuse!”
As the command was issued, the ‘8’-shaped Mangekyo on the outside of Yu Zhibo’s left eye turned into a cool liquid and flowed into his left eye. Subsequently, the edge of the Yin-Yang diagram pattern of his left eye’s Mangekyo, which originally had six serrations, gained three more.
His right eye, however, showed no reaction.
“I have to wait until it’s completely repaired… Then I’ll wait a little longer!”
Yu Zhibo murmured, checked the cooldown time for his right eye, which was less than four days.
Then, with a thought, the pupil of his left eye’s Mangekyo slightly expanded. Instantly, terrifying golden energy surged and intertwined around him, eventually forming a golden Heavenly Emperor figure over twenty feet tall.
“The energy consumption has decreased. Even with only one eye, the Eternal Mangekyo uses far less energy when activating Susanoo compared to two unevolved Mangekyo eyes, and its power and defense are even greater.”
“The mental power amplification has also increased from the original 100% to the current 200%, which will make my genjutsu more powerful!”
“The power of the Soul Flame has also increased, and my control over the Samsara Creation Realm has improved.”
Yu Zhibo silently calculated the changes brought about by the Eternal Mangekyo, his lips slowly curling upwards, the arc gradually widening.
“Will I receive the same amplification when my right eye recovers?”
“Four days, less than four days! My strength will then undergo a further leap!”
“It’s truly something to look forward to!”
Yu Zhibo closed his eyes, and the Heavenly Emperor phantom dissipated. When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to pitch black, but his left eye was noticeably deeper than his right, like an abyss, as if it could absorb all mental energy.

“Success! The demon body has been reshaped, the divine rank is naturally formed, and the soul has returned to perfection under the stimulation of bloodline power. Our Jiu’er is back!”
In the space opened by Wang Shouyi’s double pupils, a complex formation continuously emitted blood mist, which surged into a massive light cluster above. Within the light cluster, a two-tailed celestial fox figure was faintly visible, gradually transforming into human form.
Beside him, Wang Shouyi and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox watched the figure transforming from a celestial fox into a human in the sky with moved expressions.
Soon, the white light dissipated, and a figure gradually solidified. Finally, a graceful body was completely formed, followed by white clothes made of demonic energy covering it.
When the white light completely dispersed, the girl’s appearance was fully revealed to their eyes.
She was a girl with a slender and graceful physique. Her face was serene, and her snow-white long hair cascaded like a waterfall to her waist. Beneath her long, elegant eyebrows were wine-red eyes. Accented by red eyeshadow, her delicate and pretty face blended innocence and allure. Without any makeup, she was as beautiful as a goddess from the nine heavens.
Her snow-white bare feet stepped into the void. She slowly descended from mid-air, like an immortal descending to earth, finally arriving before the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and Wang Shouyi.
Bai Chanyi looked at her parents, paused for a moment, and then, as if waking from a dream, her serene expression faded. Her wine-red eyes quickly misted over.
The next moment, she pursed her red lips and threw herself into Wang Shouyi and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox’s embrace, wrapping her arms around the two elders and crying uncontrollably, sobbing, “Dad, Mom, you must find my brothers and sisters!”
She remembered everything. That day, the small world collapsed, and the physical bodies of her brothers and sisters turned to dust. At the critical moment, their mother used her innate divine ability to fuse their souls with fragments of the world’s heart, then cast a void banishment, exiling her and her siblings into the unknown void.
After being exiled to Earth, her soul, carrying world heart fragments, merged with a stray black cat cub, and she almost died in a downpour.
After wandering for some time, she coincidentally obtained a Rank C dark energy spirit crystal. Carefully absorbing it, her strength finally increased slightly.
It wasn’t until she encountered a black dog not long after, was injured in a fight, and met Yu Zhibo that the entire world began to brighten again.
She also remembered that as the world was about to collapse, her mother was refining the shattered fragments of the small world with all her might, while her brothers and sisters shielded her in the center, turning to dust one by one beside her.
“Little Jiu, live well!”
“One day, we will reunite!”
“Little Jiu, don’t be afraid!”
“…”
The affectionate admonitions still echoed in her ears. Now she had been reborn, but her siblings from back then were all gone.
“Don’t worry, we will!” Bai Lanzhi stroked Bai Chanyi’s head, her beautiful eyes also slightly reddening.
“It won’t be long. After we resolve matters on Earth, your mother and I will go to the upper realm to search for them. With the protection of the world heart fragments, their chances of survival are very high!”
Wang Shouyi also said with determination.
At the same time, he reached out his slender right hand and stroked his daughter’s smooth hair, feeling immensely gratified. As he had expected, after recovering her memories, his daughter immediately realized the importance of family and was no longer solely focused on that brat Yu Zhibo.
“I want to go too!”
Just as Wang Shouyi was feeling gratified, Bai Chanyi raised her head. Although her wine-red eyes were filled with tears, her gaze was exceptionally firm. She stood up, her small face serious, her eyes filled with anticipation, and said:
“I want to go with Bobo. I believe he can definitely help me find my brothers and sisters!”

Thank you to Taishang Huang Dudu for the催更, to Dongya Diqu de Yan Mang for the two likes, and to other friends for their small gifts and likes. Thank you all!
The cover has been changed. Looking at the data from Saturday and Sunday, it’s far lower than Monday to Friday. This has never happened before. Gifts are only a few yuan, and催更 hasn’t even reached a thousand. I guess I’ve really cooled down, and many people have abandoned the book.
I’ve been avoiding cliché and melodramatic plot points because, in my opinion, unnecessary conflicts are very brainless. I chose to write it myself precisely because I didn’t want to read that kind of story. But with my talent, I can’t write anything else that’s particularly appealing besides these. It seems sentimentality can’t pay the bills.
I am not an author, nor am I a writer. I am just a bottom-tier scribe. I hope everyone can support me more and give me some motivation!
At the very least, after reading, click on that屎黄色 button.
