At the end, Uchiha Kirin asked the system whether the Divine Tree Seedcould be taken out with him.

The response he received was that the Divine Tree Seed had already been transformed into the previously selected fruit.

If he chose the fruit, he couldn't have the seed. If he chose the seed, he couldn't get the fruit. The two were mutually exclusive.

Given that, Uchiha Kirin decided to go with the Divine Tree Cultivation Method he had obtained from Black Zetsu.

After all, teaching someone how to fish was better than giving them a fish!

While it couldn't be used immediately, in the long run, it would yield far greater returns than a single seed—much more cost-effective.

Speaking of which, the materials needed to cultivate the Divine Tree Seed weren't that complicated—he just needed to gather the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts and obtain something like the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Once he claimed this round of rewards, collecting all that with his strength would be a walk in the park. It'd be like picking river stones from a stream.

Once he accumulated enough simulations, he'd basically have an endless supply of fruits and seeds!

Uchiha Kirin counted them—there were a total of fourteen options, with one slot remaining.In that case, he might as well add the 〚Scythe of Death〛. This weapon was a fusion of his own and the Shinigami's armament, capable of slicing through the barriers of the Pure Land with ease. It had to be a solid pick!

And so, the system's reward list became:

1. Divine Tree Fruit (Contains the Rule of Taiji, centuries of Indra and Asura's soul power, and the ability to reshape the physical body)

2. Tenseigan (A fully developed Tenseigan)

3. Infinite Mangekyō Sharingan (Contains devoured Mangekyō ocular techniques)

4. Synthesized Kekkei Genkai (Ice Release, Boil Release, Scorch Release... Dust Release, includes understanding of required Nature Affinities)

5. Ōtsutsuki Bloodline (Branch Family) (※Corrupted※ Requires 449 Simulation Points for purification)

6. Dragon Bloodline (Incomplete, degraded) (※Corrupted※ Requires 165 Simulation Points for purification)

6. Rule of Fire (Fully mastered)

7. Rule of Death (Tempering the body) (※Corrupted※ Requires 325 Simulation Points for purification)

8. Rule of Nothingness (※Corrupted※ Requires 1086 Simulation Points for purification)

9. Ryūchi Cave Sage Arts (Sage energy condensation method, White Fury Technique, Inorganic Reincarnation, etc.)

10. Divine Art: Cell Reconstitution

11. Memory and comprehension of Sealing Techniques

12. Scroll of Seals

13. Divine Tree Cultivation Method

14. Scythe of Death

"I can't believe that after everything I put into synthesizing the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, it's only a branch family version."

What's more, the corruption within the bloodline had increased again. It seemed that mindless absorption—even with his Mangekyō Sharingan—couldn't entirely prevent contamination.

One or two instances might be fine, but during simulations, he'd basically been devouring bloodline essences like daily meals. No wonder the buildup was so significant!

After all, each drop of essence had been extracted from thousands of ninja.

Considering the accumulation, the corruption per simulation was actually negligible.

Still, there were limits to the power of the Mangekyō techniques and his Sharingan's Ocular Power.

To completely purge the corruption, he would likely need to elevate his ocular abilities into full-fledged rule-based forces like Fire Release, or acquire Rinnegan—or even Rinne Sharingan—levels of power!

That said, the pollution from the Ōtsutsuki bloodline was relatively minor compared to the benefits. It hadn't caused a bottleneck in his strength at all.

What did surprise him, though, were the Rules:

The Rule of Death and Rule of Nothingness were both heavily corrupted—the latter even more so, possibly due to containing the will of some dead Nothingness God, or even some kind of resurrection failsafe...

Because of that, even though Uchiha Kirin could wield the rules, he couldn't deepen his mastery over them.

In contrast, his self-synthesized Ice Release, Wood Release, Dust Release, and the self-comprehended Rule of Fire were all perfectly clean—free from any pollution.

The same went for the Divine Tree Fruit. Even though it had absorbed centuries of reincarnated energy from Indra and Asura, there wasn't the slightest bit of corruption.

It seemed that going forward, anything too contaminated could be refined through the Divine Tree first...

Still—

Spend where it matters, save where it doesn't!

Uchiha Kirin quickly calculated the Simulation Points needed to purify all the corrupted options—it came out to 2025 points.

"Spend them!"

It was just the change! He'd been sitting on 14,300 points from the last simulation and was just wondering what to use them for.

Having a mountain of points really was satisfying!

"System, use points to purify the corruption, then begin fusing the selected rewards!"

〖Ding~ Purification initiated. Loading your power...〗

As the system notification chimed, a massive torrent of power surged into Uchiha Kirin's body.

The power of the Tenseigan and Infinite Mangekyō Sharingan poured into his eyes. Immediately, crimson and azure lights intertwined, the two ocular powers merging into one harmonious force.

Both his soul and body underwent simultaneous ascension, and the Tenseigan's power led Uchiha Kirin to feel as if he had stepped into an entirely new dimension!

Next came the physical enhancements centered around bloodlines and Kekkei Genkai.

First, the various synthesized Kekkei Genkai—formed from different elemental combinations—flowed into him. With this power, Kirin's perception of elemental energy became incredibly refined, allowing him to control it effortlessly. His physical strength was amplified repeatedly during the process.

Then came the four-in-one Ōtsutsuki bloodline, merging Uchiha, Hyūga, and Uzumaki traits. As it entered his body, all previously jumbled Kekkei Genkai stabilized and aligned, each falling neatly into place without conflict.

This unified Ōtsutsuki bloodline not only elevated Kirin's physical body and talent but also brought a minor boost to his Spirit.

Finally, the Dragon bloodline surged in. In an instant, his body strength swelled to nearly invincible levels.

Though he didn't possess Lightning Release, he gained an inexplicable comprehension of the lightning that permeated heaven and earth...

Suddenly, Uchiha Kirin felt a sharp and itchy sensation on either side of his head—impossible to describe.

Pop!

"What the hell just grew out of my head?"

He didn't have time to examine it closely, but he was just glad he hadn't suddenly sprouted a tail.Next up was the Rule-based power:

The Rule of Fire fused with both soul and body, becoming one with Uchiha Kirin.

The Rule of Death tempered his body, giving his Shikotsumyaku a deadly edge—any strike laced with it would be lethal.

The Rule of Nothingness, for now, was sealed within his Sharingan. However, it no longer rejected him like in the simulations.

Exhale...

Uchiha Kirin opened his eyes, quickly digesting the newly acquired knowledge of Sage Arts and Sealing Techniques. With every breath, Natural Energy flowed into his body.

At this point, his strength had reached a level unheard of in the history of the shinobi world!

If it weren't for the invisible barrier concealing his presence, the oppressive pressure would have engulfed the entire ninja world!

Taking out the black-and-white Divine Tree Fruit—about the size of two or three basketballs—from the system space and then putting it back again, Uchiha Kirin decided to wait and consume it during a simulation to better handle potential side effects.

Then, he pulled out the 〚Scythe of Death〛from the system space. Even the slightest movement made the very air shriek, like nails on a chalkboard.

Clang!

Uchiha Kirin flicked the edge of the scythe's blade with his finger, and the surrounding space immediately began to tremble.

He had no doubt—if he swung it at full strength, he could tear space apart like paper!

"Oh right... I still haven't claimed the rewards from the Loot System…"
