NOVEL WEB Chapter 6: CHAPTER 6
The Harvest After Turning the Virtual into Reality
The illusory world created by Uchiha Yue functions similarly to the virtual reality seen in science fiction. As its absolute ruler, he wields complete control, allowing him to reshape everything at will and perform feats that defy conventional logic.
However, a typical virtual world remains just that—an illusion. No matter how powerful one becomes within it, if that power cannot extend into reality, then all achievements within remain meaningless, nothing more than an elaborate dream.
Fortunately, Uchiha Yue's illusory world is not purely fictional. Through the power of his Mangekyō Sharingan, this realm possesses unique properties that allow it to bridge the gap between illusion and reality, enabling him to alter the real world itself.
Under these conditions, when Uchiha Yue acquires power within his illusory domain, he can materialize it in reality through his Sharingan's abilities. This allows abilities, techniques, or even personal enhancements originally confined to the illusory world to manifest in the physical world.
Of course, such a reality-defying ability comes with limitations. If it were unrestricted, Uchiha Yue could simply define himself as a god within his realm and bring that existence into reality, making him truly invincible. However, materializing anything from the illusory world requires a significant expenditure of his pupil power. Additionally, whatever is brought into reality must conform to the fundamental laws governing the world; otherwise, it will quickly collapse and dissipate.
Thus, Uchiha Yue's illusory world and his Mangekyō Sharingan function as both an experimental lab and a medium for rapidly realizing concepts that would otherwise take years to develop. By refining his mastery over this ability, he continuously pushes the boundaries between illusion and reality, making the impossible possible.
As long as Uchiha Yue fully understands the underlying principles, possesses sufficient data and technology, and remains within the boundaries of reality, he can seamlessly alter reality using his pupil technique, achieving permanent effects without drawbacks.
However, if his understanding is incomplete, lacks sufficient data and technological foundation, or if his alterations contradict the natural laws of reality, then any forced transformation will lead to instability. This would result in experimental failures, defective creations, or even severe consequences for his own body, potentially causing its collapse in a comical yet catastrophic manner.
Despite a thorough explanation, Uchiha Yue's pupil technique may not initially seem overwhelmingly powerful. However, in reality, its potential is truly limitless.
By continuously absorbing knowledge and samples from the real world and mastering them within the controlled space of his illusory domain, he can fully comprehend and refine them without risk. Once perfected in his illusory realm, these enhancements can manifest in his real body seamlessly, free from side effects.
Through this process, he can not only surpass the natural limitations of his physical body but also continuously evolve toward perfection. Eventually, he could transcend human limitations entirely, attaining godhood and achieving omnipotence within reality itself.
...
Time passed slowly.
After meticulously studying his new body again and using his authority as the World Controller to conduct a time-accelerated simulation, Uchiha Yue finally confirmed that his body, which had perfectly assimilated and fused with the power of White Zetsu cells, was flawless. With this assurance, he made up his mind—he was ready to manifest fully.
As his determination solidified, Uchiha Yue's body in the external world suddenly flickered, dissolving into an ethereal haze. Not far away, another Uchiha Yue materialized from nothingness, seamlessly taking form.
The entire process bore a striking resemblance to Danzo's use of Izanagi, as depicted in the original story—where an injured body would fade into illusion, only for an unscathed form to emerge as reality.
However, while the fundamental principle was similar, there was a crucial difference. Ordinary Izanagi merely rewound reality to a previously recorded state, drawing from the past and restoring the body to its earlier condition.
Uchiha Yue's technique, on the other hand, operated in reverse—it replaced his present self with a perfected version recorded from the future, effectively pulling the future into the present.
This seemingly subtle distinction resulted in an immense disparity in outcomes. While Izanagi only reverted to a preexisting state, Uchiha Yue's ability tapped into limitless potential, as the future remained fluid and ever-expanding.
"The consumption is enormous," Uchiha Yue muttered, his eyes glinting with comprehension. "Whether it's shaping the outside world into reality, assimilating it into the illusory world, or using illusion to manifest something real—the cost is immense."
Just after recovering from the illusory state, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but groan again. He covered his eyes, feeling a lingering discomfort, yet his tone carried a hint of emotion.
Though his words seemed like complaints, in reality, he could feel the surge of vitality within his body. A cooling sensation spread rapidly through his eyes, and a satisfied smile formed on his lips—there was no room for dissatisfaction.
"It seems the power of White Zetsu cells truly alleviates the side effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Otherwise, with the intensity and frequency of my usage tonight, even if I hadn't gone blind, severe bleeding, excruciating pain, and significant vision loss would have been inevitable."
He paused, taking in the changes within his body more carefully.
"Furthermore, with the immense vitality provided by White Zetsu's cells, combined with the sheer mental strength of my Mangekyō Sharingan, my chakra reserves are increasing at an astonishing rate. At this pace, in just a few days, I might even rival some members of the Uzumaki Clan in terms of chakra levels!"
With growing satisfaction, Uchiha Yue slowly opened his eyes. Even in this short time, they had almost fully recovered—an undeniable testament to his newfound resilience after perfectly integrating White Zetsu's cells.
"Well, tonight's harvest has far exceeded expectations. For now, I should focus on stabilizing and getting used to this newfound power. Once I've fully mastered it, I can distribute these overwhelming abilities to all the necessary allies. Only then can we discuss the next steps."
Gazing in the direction of Konoha, Uchiha Yue silently contemplated his next move. However, he had already decided—tonight, he would return home and refrain from any further action.
No matter how powerful an ability may be, its true value depends on the user's mastery. If one's combat awareness fails to keep up with their strength, even the greatest power can become a liability.
Back when he only had the Three Tomoe Sharingan, he had spent a significant amount of time refining his skills. But now, in just a single night, he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and even absorbed White Zetsu's abilities using its newfound power. His spiritual, physical, and chakra reserves had skyrocketed.
If he didn't take the time to consolidate his gains, he risked instability when the Uchiha Massacre occurred. The last thing he wanted was for his power to fail him at a crucial moment.
Moreover, Konoha, as the most powerful village in the ninja world, had unfathomable hidden forces. In his current unstable state, provoking trouble would be reckless. It was far wiser to lay low and fully assimilate his strength before making any decisive moves.
Having made up his mind, Uchiha Yue did not hesitate. His figure flickered and vanished into the night, heading toward the Uchiha clan district—his home.
