c4 Host Information
"Blessings from Kannon Bodhisattva, blessings from the Infinite Life Buddha, Amen, Amen, please, just give me something good this time for the sake of the Rasengan I just drew!"
Still following the same process, after praying earnestly in his heart, Ri Xiangchen started the second lottery.
This time the lottery prizes had been updated, and the number had even changed. Last time there were eight prizes; this time there were only five.
The list now displayed: Conqueror's Haki (Haoshoku Haki), Eye Technique (Dōjutsu), Susanoo, Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation), Zanpakutō – Kyōka Suigetsu, and Sage Mode.
"Thank you Kannon, thank you Infinite Life Buddha. I really should make a proper offering when I return! This time, as long as it's not Conqueror's Haki, I'm happy with anything!"
Ri Xiangchen was overjoyed, feeling like an emperor of luck once again.
Susanoo and Chibaku Tensei are indeed legendary moves Susanoo, the ultimate manifestation of the Mangekyō Sharingan, as perfected by Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke, and Chibaku Tensei, the Rinnegan's gravitational-based ultimate move, once used by Nagato (Pain) and Madara Uchiha to devastating effect. Their power is self-explanatory only those wielding ocular powers beyond ordinary comprehension can perform them.
The Zanpakutō Kyōka Suigetsu is the famed blade of Sōsuke Aizen from Bleach, with its complete hypnosis Kanzen Saimin rendering an opponent's five senses completely under the wielder's control. If Ri Xiangchen could obtain it, he wouldn't just gain a weapon; he'd acquire a strategic edge over virtually any opponent, rendering them helpless at the first stroke. Even enemies 800 meters away might fall victim to its power.
As for Sage Mode, it's an advanced technique rare in the entire Naruto universe, learned by only a handful: Jiraiya, Naruto, and Hashirama Senju. Even Uchiha Madara, despite obtaining Rinnegan and Senju DNA, didn't naturally master Sage Mode until he forcibly merged it with Hashirama's cells.
However, Conqueror's Haki was a different matter. Ri Xiangchen already possessed the Tenseigan the evolved form of the Byakugan granting him nearly complete 360-degree vision, penetrating obstacles, perceiving chakra, and even accessing gravitational manipulation. While Conqueror's Haki (as wielded by Gol D. Roger, Shanks, and Luffy) could incapacitate foes with a mere glance, it wouldn't complement Ri Xiangchen's visual dominance. Still, if it came with Roger's ability to "hear the voice of all things," it could synergize with Tenseigan's sight and chakra perception, covering both "listening" and "seeing" to formidable effect.
Among these options, Zanpakutō Kyōka Suigetsu was what Ri Xiangchen coveted most. With it, he could transcend mere survival and dominate his foes. Right now, he could only barely protect himself, but with Kyōka Suigetsu, not only would direct assaults fail, the enemy wouldn't even notice the moment they were ensnared.
Of course, against beings on the level of the Six Paths, like Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, Kaguya, or even Madara after absorbing the Ten Tails, things might be different. Their god-like powers could potentially see through such illusions, though even that wasn't certain.
Overall, the lottery options this time were exceptionally generous. As long as the pointer avoided Conqueror's Haki and Chibaku Tensei, Ri Xiangchen would be satisfied.
Chibaku Tensei, as explained before, is the Rinnegan's gravitational "planetary" jutsu. Though impressive, Ri Xiangchen, armed with the chakra refinement technique and his Tenseigan, could eventually recreate this technique himself, just as Nagato or Madara once did. After all, Tenseigan's gravity manipulation is already somewhat aligned with the principles of Chibaku Tensei. Hypothetically, Hinata if she awakened Tenseigan might also replicate it, though such cases are rare.
The pointer began to spin wildly, initiating a new lottery.
Ri Xiangchen felt a wave of dizziness, his heartbeat accelerating to the point of discomfort. He closed his eyes, listening only to the thundering beat within his chest. The pointer slowed, then stopped pointing squarely at Susanoo.
Ri Xiangchen's heart eased. In his mind, Susanoo wasn't the jackpot, but it was far from the worst. Considering his current predicament, it was immensely valuable.
But then a thought struck him could he, with the Tenseigan, replicate the Mangekyō Sharingan's Susanoo?
"The system must allow this," Ri Xiangchen mused. After all, hadn't his Tenseigan evolved through the system's assistance?
If not for this system, Ri Xiangchen wouldn't believe it possible. Even with Ōtsutsuki blood, a perfectly pure Byakugan, and a 100% guaranteed evolution, it was inconceivable that he, without even the instability of fetal development, would straightforwardly and perfectly awaken the Tenseigan.
And now, with this result, his chances of survival and perhaps domination had risen dramatically.
This should have been a trivial matter for the system, but Ri Xiangchen felt as though he was merely meddling in things far beyond him.
Suddenly, a blinding light shot directly into Ri Xiangchen's eyes. A surge of ocular power stirred within his bloodline, rising up like a wave, before gradually settling back down.
Ri Xiangchen distinctly felt the difference the palpable shift in his ocular strength. Although this sensation couldn't be described, touched, or even seen with the naked eye, it undeniably existed.
"Anyway, I've secured a treasure. Plus, with Susanoo, and the Rinnegan at my disposal, I can use powerful summoning techniques. Maybe even the Thousand-Armed Kannon of Hashirama Senju won't be so terrifying." Ri Xiangchen's mind spun.
He started to get ahead of himself, momentarily forgetting he was still a fledgling in this world.
The Summoning Technique of the Rinnegan can manifest Giant Multi-armed Statues, capable of pinning down the Nine-Tails. If Susanoo is added to the mix a complete-body manifestation akin to Madara's Perfect Susanoo the power should easily surpass that of Susanoo plus the Nine-Tails.
Far beyond, in fact.
With such strength, facing regular enemies would be trivial.
Now, with only one draw left in the lottery, Ri Xiangchen had no hesitation. He'd already obtained what he needed and felt content. Now adopting a "Buddhist" mentality, he thought, whatever he drew next would be fine.
The lottery wheel updated again, this time with even more options—over a dozen in total. Of course, mixed among them were several worthless choices.
Outrageously, one of them was a simple okonomiyaki.
"Are they trying to cover my dinner needs?" Ri Xiangchen quipped, but clicked to begin the spin without further complaint.
The pointer spun wildly, its rotations long and suspenseful, eventually settling on Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki).
"What a twist of fate. This skill has appeared in all three lotteries. It must be destiny!"
As before, the method to use Kenbunshoku Haki was transmitted directly into Ri Xiangchen's mind, along with its cultivation techniques.
With this, Ri Xiangchen's previous dismissal of Observation Haki completely changed. It wasn't merely about enhancing one's perception.
Mastery of Kenbunshoku Haki could elevate his senses to the point of future sight, just as Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates achieved. At this level, one could predict and react to movements before they occurred—essentially developing a sixth sense.
At this level, Kenbunshoku could even break the hypnosis of Kyōka Suigetsu, which relied on controlling an opponent's senses.
However, unlocking such potential wasn't immediate. Even though Ri Xiangchen now had the cultivation method delivered through the system, true mastery required perseverance and effort.
At present, Ri Xiangchen had only acquired a rudimentary grasp of this skill—barely at the basic level. To progress, he would need to dedicate time and push his limits.
After closing the lottery module, Ri Xiangchen noticed a character status panel tucked away in an inconspicuous corner. Curious, he clicked it open.

This compilation detailed every ability currently available to Ri Xiangchen, giving him a clear understanding of his standing and capabilities.
First up was the Tenseigan—yet due to insufficient chakra reserves, he was unable to activate it. Consequently, he still didn't fully grasp the Tenseigan's true power.
After a thorough review of his skills, Ri Xiangchen better understood his transformation. He possessed not only the Ōtsutsuki bloodline but also the powerful evolution of the Tenseigan, granting him unparalleled ocular abilities.
Among these, the most satisfying ability was Time-Space Manipulation. While the Rinnegan allowed for certain spatial manipulations (like Amenotejikara or Kamui-like effects), it lacked direct temporal control.
Now, Ri Xiangchen realized his unique skill set lay precisely in mastering both time and space—a rare combination even among the strongest shinobi, akin to the prowess of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
"In this way, time and space are at my fingertips. Even if I lose, I'll never die," Ri Xiangchen murmured with satisfaction.
However, regarding the mysterious Takamagahara, Ri Xiangchen was clueless about its application or nature. He only knew that in ancient Japanese lore, Takamagahara referred to the Heavenly Plain, the realm of the gods. Given that, this ability must be exceedingly potent.
Perhaps even overwhelming.
Yet this could also prove troublesome. In the Naruto world, the more formidable a technique, the more chakra it consumes. Even with the system's support and the Ōtsutsuki lineage, if a skill required an astronomical chakra reserve, it would remain a mere decorative ability—a "vase skill", as Ri Xiangchen thought.
For now, he couldn't activate any of these advanced techniques.
Of course, if all these skills were fully mastered and activated, Ri Xiangchen would undoubtedly become one of the most dominant forces in the shinobi world. But at present, his level was still far too limited to achieve that.
