Streams of endless King's Strength flowed from the void-like spatial channel, surging into his body. At the center of his brow, the six-pointed star glowed with an increasingly dazzling brilliance.
The tremendous reward of conquering an entire world descended upon Qin Yi at this very moment, enveloping him, filling his whole being with comfort, and making his eyes shine with spirited vitality.
He had once conquered the Dragon Emperor World, but the King's Strength he received back then was nothing compared to this.
A Starlight-ranked world carried a vastness, depth, and power that a mere mortal world could never rival.
Starlight motes shimmered on Qin Yi's black dragon robe, making his entire figure seem ethereal and otherworldly. These starry lights seeped into his pores, diving deep into his body, strengthening every fiber of his being.
Gradually, Qin Yi's gaze grew sharper and more majestic, his posture straighter, and his aura even more domineering.
Receiving this overwhelming power, his eyes brimmed with unshakable confidence.
"So this… is the power of conquering an entire world?"
"It's far, far beyond what founding a nation can offer."
He murmured softly, and his mind began forming a clear judgment about the true Civilization Rank of the Ninja World.
"Starlight Level Two."
Now that he had fully conquered the shinobi world, Qin Yi finally understood its true rank. It was Starlight Level Two, not Starlight Level One. In other words, the information he'd obtained earlier was inaccurate, or perhaps that rank had only reflected the perspective and influence of his own King's Way Kingdom.
"If that's the case, the Civilization Ranks of other worlds might not be accurate either!"
His gaze sharpened as realization dawned.
The Eye of the King and Realm Gate only provided rough estimations, not precise data. Their assessments likely focused on limited aspects rather than offering a full, comprehensive evaluation. Errors were inevitable.
To truly grasp a world's rank, one had to enter it personally, compare it firsthand, and then make an informed judgment.
A boundless tide of King's Strength surged toward Qin Yi like rivers and oceans converging. At this moment, the unique energy poured into him endlessly, making him feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and contentment.
After half an hour, he slowly raised his right hand.
Instantly, the space around him trembled, and the air itself quivered. A torrent of King's Strength burst outward, cascading through the projection link of the Realm Gate and descending into the Ninja World.
"RUMBLE!"
The entire world roared. Centered on the Nation of Qin, a dazzling light blossomed, swelling and spreading across the land.
The glow was a soft, pure white, gentle yet brilliant, advancing at a steady, unstoppable pace, enveloping the entire world.
Half an hour later, the light had covered every corner of this realm. At that moment, Qin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Interesting… it won't advance any further?"
He sensed that while his power had blanketed the world, it stopped upon reaching a certain location. Compared to the Ninja World's vastness, the area was minuscule, only a few dozen meters in radius, yet his influence could not penetrate it.
"Ōtsutsuki, is it?"
With a cold chuckle, Qin Yi dismissed it, flicking his hand lightly.
In an instant, the enormous landmass of the Ninja World began merging with the King's World.
From this moment onward, the two worlds' inhabitants could clearly see one another and, with a single thought, travel between realms.
As for that small land infused with Ōtsutsuki will, Qin Yi paid it no mind. He had already claimed the heart of the world; minor details no longer concerned him.
With the Ninja World and King's World now fully fused, Qin Yi waved his arm once again.
"World Reshape!"
"Buzz… RUMBLE!"
The landmass of the King's World expanded once more. In the void, celestial bodies rapidly coalesced into physical form at a visible pace, birthing towering mountains, mighty rivers, dense forests, and endless deserts.
Mountains that had been razed and flattened now surged skyward; shattered rivers rejoined their courses, and all life began to awaken again.
All things sprouted anew; life returned in full vigor to every corner of this world.
At this moment, Qin Yi resembled a divine Creator, carefully and meticulously reshaping and building a realm entirely his own.
For a full six hours, Qin Yi poured his spirit into perfecting his kingdom, making it greater, grander, and more magnificent than ever before.
By the time all was restored, every creature and landscape within the Nation of Qin's domain had been revived. Life flourished once again, and the citizens leaped and cheered in celebration.
"Haaah…"
Qin Yi exhaled softly. Though a trace of fatigue lingered in his eyes, they now gleamed brighter than ever.
"The unification of the Ninja World has granted me far greater power!"
"Power… and means!"
He spoke lightly, extending a finger to a point before him.
"ROAR!!"
A massive figure materialized on the open ground ahead, the Seven-Tails, Chomei, who gazed at Qin Yi with a mix of dread and awe.
"You've broken my seal… why?"
Qin Yi only smiled faintly and gave no reply. Instead, he closed his eyes, feeling the immense surge of energy within his body.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nine enormous tails erupted behind him, whipping skyward. A layer of the Fox Demon Hagoromo Cloak quickly enveloped him, and a terrifying wave of chakra exploded outward, stirring a storm of dust.
"Th-That's… the Nine-Tails!!" Chomei was stunned.
He couldn't comprehend it, the young man before him now wielded the power of the Nine-Tails!
But that was only the beginning. Chomei's eyes widened further.
"The Eight-Tails! The Six-Tails! The Five-Tails!"
One by one, the chakra signatures of every Bijū (Tailed Beast) surged within Qin Yi, including Chomei's own. Finally, even the chakra of the One-Tail appeared.
In this moment, the power of all nine Tailed Beasts had gathered in Qin Yi's body.
"With all nine Bijū united… then…"
Qin Yi's eyes snapped open, his entire form glowing brilliantly as an overwhelming pressure filled the air.
"The Jūbi (Ten-Tails)!"
Chomei trembled violently, utterly shaken. He could feel it, this man truly possessed the might of the Ten-Tails!
"What incredible power… far beyond anything I've ever known!"
Feeling the surging waves of energy coursing through him, Qin Yi's lips curved into a smile.
At his brow, his forehead split open, revealing an eye with nine tomoe rotating slowly within it.
"The Rinne Sharingan."
In this instant, Qin Yi had become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. He had scoured the Ninja World, claiming its powers through sovereign authority, and gathered them all into himself, reaching a level rivaling Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths himself.
Silently, Qin Yi savored this power. After a moment, his eyes flashed.
"And… there is also a newly awakened King's Skill!"
With the unification and integration of the Ninja World, his civilization had ascended to Starlight Level Two. Alongside this growth, a new skill had awakened within him.
"King's Talent!"
In an instant, the full details of this new skill flowed into his mind.
"This ability is akin to the innate life talents of many Spiritual Gods or Divine Beasts. It is the King's inborn gift, unique to each who awakens it."
"And my life talent is…"
Qin Yi's gaze sharpened.
"Talent Endowment!"
