A Saiyan's journey through various anime and manga worlds

"Hoo..." Thinking this, Lu Yi took a deep breath, calming his excited emotions. He raised his right hand above the ring, then bit his middle finger. A drop of blood appeared in his right hand and dripped onto the ring. The moment the blood touched the ring, it emitted a faint light. Seeing this, Lu Yi knew he had guessed correctly; the medium for the ring was blood. Then, the light emitted by the ring gradually intensified. As it intensified, the ring detached from Lu Yi's hand and slowly flew into the air. When the ring was about a foot away from Lu Yi's hand, it stopped and suddenly emitted a strong and dazzling light. Although the light was intense, it could not block Lu Yi's vision, allowing him to clearly see the entire process of the ring's transformation. After an unknown amount of time, the light finally dissipated, revealing the transformed ring. The ring, after the light disappeared, fell into Lu Yi's hand and lay there quietly.

"Finally finished. What's next? According to what I read in the novels I've read before, the next step should be to extend my mental energy into the ring, right?" Thinking it, Lu Yi closed his eyes and focused all his mental energy on the ring. The moment Lu Yi's mental energy touched the ring, he felt a boom in his head, and then he found himself in another world. This place was gray and hazy, with no sky or earth, only a chaotic expanse.

"Is this the world inside the ring? I never imagined the legends were true," Lu Yi thought as he found himself in this world.

"You've finally arrived." Just as Lu Yi was still thinking, such a sentence came from the void.

"Who are you?" Lu Yi asked, clearly displeased upon hearing the voice.

As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, a bird chirped, and the chaos began to churn. Then, a thin crack appeared in the middle of the chaos, and soon a passage that could only be passed by one person appeared. Although Lu Yi was surprised, he still went in and slowly walked forward in the dark passage.

Just then, Lu Yi suddenly stopped, because an invisible wall blocked his way.

"Hmph..." Lu Yi snorted coldly upon seeing this situation, raised his hand and waved it forward. The invisible wall blocking him appeared with countless cracks, like glass, and then shattered with a soft sound. In the instant it broke, Lu Yi felt a bright light before his eyes, and an incredibly vast and magnificent palace appeared before him. Above this palace was a plaque with three large, elegant characters written on it—Star Palace.

"Star Palace???" Lu Yi murmured in surprise as he looked at the three characters, which were also written in small seal script.

"Squeak..." Just as Lu Yi was wondering whose magnificent hall it was, the hall door suddenly opened slowly.

"You've arrived." Just as the doors of the main hall opened, that ethereal voice came from inside again.

"Who exactly are you?" Lu Yi asked in a chilling voice as he stood outside the hall after the door opened, without going in.

"You'll know when you come in," the voice said again.

"Hmph... then I'll show you who you really are, daring to play tricks on me." Lu Yi said with a cold snort. With that, he took a step and walked into the main hall.

Upon entering, Lu Yi froze, completely stunned. The facilities in this grand hall were so extravagant as to be unbearable. However, what shocked Lu Yi wasn't the luxurious items themselves, but rather the person sitting in the center of the hall—a man of devilishly handsome appearance. It was this man's looks that made Lu Yi freeze in place.

Chapter Fifteen: Reunion with Lin Yu

"You've finally arrived," the person sitting there said.

"Who exactly are you?" Lu Yi asked, staring intently at the person in front of him who looked exactly like him.

"Who am I? Don't you remember yet?" the man asked upon hearing Lu Yi's words. Lu Yi, however, still looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"That's true. After all, billions of years have passed, it's understandable that you've forgotten. Alright, then I'll tell you, you are me, and I am you." Seeing Lu Yi's puzzled look, the person had no choice but to speak.

"What do you mean?" Lu Yi asked, still puzzled.

"Sigh... Let me put it bluntly, we are the same person. Don't you understand?" the person said.

"I understand a little bit now, but how can there be another me? What's going on?" Lu Yi understood the earlier part, but now he was puzzled as to how there could be two versions of himself, hence this question.

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly. I am just a wisp of your spiritual energy left behind by yourself."

"What??? Just mental energy? How could that be?" Lu Yi exclaimed in shock when he heard the person opposite him say that he was just a piece of mental energy.

"Listen to me, my time is running out. Billions of years ago, you were the ruler of the prime plane, but as time went by, you found it too boring and decided to reincarnate to experience human life. Little did you know that this journey would last for billions of years." The person slowly recounted Lu Yi's story.

Lu Yi was stunned upon hearing this, yet he had no choice but to believe what the man said. He trusted his own judgment and his own intuition, but what the man said was simply too absurd. Although he trusted his own intuition, he still couldn't help but have doubts.

"You still don't believe me? Fine, if you still don't believe me, then merge with me. That way, you'll get everything you want to know." The man had no choice but to say this when he saw Lu Yi's obviously disbelieving look.

"Fusion??"

"That's right, you and I were originally one. Only after we merge will your originally sealed memories be released."

"This..." Lu Yi was hesitant, wondering whether he should merge with him.

"What? Are you scared? Afraid I'll hurt you?" The man smirked as he saw Lu Yi hesitate and used reverse psychology to provoke him.

"Hmph... Don't try to provoke me like that. Fine, I'll see what you can do to me. Come on," Lu Yi said with a cold snort.

"Hahaha... That's exactly what I wanted to hear." The man laughed loudly when he heard Lu Yi agree, and then slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards Lu Yi.

"Come on." The person reached out and extended their hand to Lu Yi. As the person extended their hand, Lu Yi also reached out and slowly approached. When their hands met, a miracle occurred. Their hands merged seamlessly, as if without any resistance. A powerful light emanated from both of them, and in the instant the light burst forth, they were completely united. Lu Yi felt a deafening roar in his head, as if something had cracked open somewhere within it. Then, a vast amount of information appeared, instantly engulfing Lu Yi.

Startled by the sheer volume of information, Lu Yi quickly sat cross-legged and began absorbing the information that appeared in his mind. He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps an instant, a year, two years, or countless years. Lu Yi could no longer perceive the passage of time; all he needed to do now was to process the massive amount of information in his mind.

At this moment, Lu Yi finally opened his eyes, and a horrifying light shot out from them. An invisible pressure burst forth from Lu Yi's body, but this was only for a moment. Then, the light in Lu Yi's eyes slowly dissipated, and the pressure emanating from his body also slowly dissipated, eventually returning to calm.

"So that's how it is. So all of this is real." Lu Yi murmured as he opened his eyes.

"Hahaha... Billions of years, billions of years, I'm finally back! I wonder how Xiaoxue and the others are doing? Are they alright? I haven't seen them for billions of years, I miss them so much. Well, I'll go back and see them after this is all over." Lu Yi, having regained his senses, laughed wildly, but quickly stopped and muttered to himself.

"This is where I used to live. I haven't lived here for billions of years. It feels both familiar and strange. Hmm... something seems to be missing. What could it be? Right, I remember having four underlings, right? Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, where are they?" Lu Yi said to the void.

"The Azure Dragon is here, the Vermilion Bird is here, the White Tiger is here, and the Black Tortoise is here." No sooner had Lu Yi finished speaking than the voices of the three men and one woman echoed from the void. Simultaneously, five people appeared before Lu Yi in an instant.

"How did you end up here?" Lu Yi asked in surprise, looking at one of the women among the five people.

"I was already here," the woman said playfully, seeing Lu Yi's surprised expression.

"Lin Yu, don't be rude to your master." At this moment, another woman, Zhu Que, spoke to Lin Yu. Lin Yu stuck out her tongue upon hearing Zhu Que's words and remained silent.

"Alright, Zhuque, there's nothing rude about it. Besides, I've told you before, don't call me master," Lu Yi said to Zhuque with displeasure.

"Yes, Master."

"Um... never mind, let's take it slow." Lu Yi said helplessly after hearing Zhu Que's words.

Chapter Sixteen: Cultivation (Part 1)

"Phew... Lin Yu is really a problem girl. So innocently cute." Lu Yi thought with a wry smile as he took out the ring.

Shaking his head, Lu Yi stopped thinking about these questions. He didn't know how long he had been inside, and for some reason, he was now eager to see Xinlan. With that thought, he walked out of the room and headed towards Xinlan's room.

"Knock knock..." It was still night, and Xinlan was gazing at the candlelight, lost in thought, when a knock on the door startled her from her reverie.

"Yi, what's the matter that you're looking for me so late?" Xinlan asked, puzzled, when she opened the door and saw Lu Yi.

"It's nothing, I just missed you and came to see you." Lu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xinlan. He was puzzled and didn't know why, but he always had a feeling of unease in his heart.

"Hehe... Come in, it's very windy outside." Xinlan said happily, hearing the concern in Lu Yi's tone. Xinlan lost her mother's and father's love at a young age, which had always been a regret in her heart. Lu Yi's appearance gradually made that regret disappear. She really enjoyed Lu Yi's care and love, and gradually became immersed in it.

"What's wrong? Something on your mind? Tell me, maybe I can help you." Lu Yi walked into the room and sat down next to Xinlan, asking as he saw her somewhat haggard face.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things." Xinlan was startled when she heard Lu Yi's words, and then she tried to cover it up.

Are you worried about the people of this world?

"I..."

"There's no need to hide it anymore. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and I can see everything in your eyes."

"Is that so?" Xinlan was powerless to refute, and could only offer a helpless bitter smile.

"Do you want to change the world?" Lu Yi suddenly asked Xinlan.

"Change? What right do I have to change? I'm just a weak woman." Xinlan said with a bitter smile after hearing Lu Yi's words.

“Nothing is absolute. If you hadn’t met me, perhaps it wouldn’t have been possible, but…” Lu Yi didn’t finish his sentence, but just smiled at Xinlan. He knew that with Xinlan’s intelligence, she would definitely be able to guess what he was about to say.

"Can it really be changed?" Sure enough, Xinlan asked with delight when she heard Lu Yi's words.

"Of course it's true. Have I ever lied to you?"

“I always have.” Xinlan’s mood brightened considerably when she heard Lu Yi say he could help her, and she said playfully to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi just smiled when he saw Xinlan's mischievous expression and didn't argue. To be honest, Lu Yi just wanted to see her happy because he felt that this was the real Xinlan. In the past, she had hidden her true feelings, making it difficult for others to see her true thoughts, which made Lu Yi very uncomfortable. But now, Xinlan had untied the knot in her heart that she had been hiding and returned to her original personality, which made Lu Yi very gratified.

"Then what should I do?" Xinlan saw Lu Yi looking at her with a smile and knew that she had lost her composure just now, but she didn't want to hide anything from Lu Yi anymore. Although she was shy, she still asked the question that was on her mind.

"Hehe... Actually, it's very simple. This world is a world where the strong are respected. If you want to stop the war, you must fight violence with violence. If you want to do that, then you have to be incredibly strong. But one person's strength is always limited. So you have to call on all the people to resist and make them strong as well."

"But I'm just a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, how can I become strong?"

“No, you are already very powerful.” Lu Yi said this as if possessed, just by looking at Xinlan’s chest.

"Ah... Yi. What are you saying?" Xinlan exclaimed in surprise when she saw Lu Yi looking at her chest as he spoke. She covered her chest with one hand and pinched Lu Yi's waist hard with the other.

"Haha... It's alright, it's alright, let's continue, let's continue. You don't need to worry about this, isn't there me? I'll teach you a cultivation method that will make you stronger quickly." Lu Yi had long planned to have Xinlan cultivate, but he had never had the opportunity. In his previous life, although he was just an ordinary person, he had now regained his memories. In those vast memories, there were many cultivation techniques. Soon, Lu Yi found one suitable for Xinlan to cultivate from among the many techniques. It was called the Ice Purity Technique. This technique was a cultivation technique for the spirit. After finding it, Lu Yi directly imprinted the technique into Xinlan's mind.

After receiving the cultivation technique, Xinlan immediately began practicing. Lu Yi didn't stop her and left Xinlan's room. He wanted to see the girl who possessed the Rinnegan. Lu Yi also planned to let the girl cultivate, but not by directly giving her the cultivation technique. Instead, he wanted her to explore it on her own. Based on what he had watched in his previous life in Naruto, he knew that those who possessed the Rinnegan were not ordinary people. Since that girl possessed the Rinnegan, she was very likely the legendary Sage of Six Paths. He would give her a few hints and let her explore on her own. If she truly was the Sage of Six Paths, then the era of ninjas would soon arrive.

Chapter Seventeen: Cultivation (Part Two) - A Temporary Departure

When Lu Yi arrived at the door of the room of the girl he had brought back today, he heard a sound coming from inside. Lu Yi opened the door and went in, and saw that the girl was huddled in a corner of the bed, trembling, as if she had seen some terrifying monster.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Seeing her fear, Lu Yi slowly walked to her side and spoke gently. Lu Yi's words only made her tremble more violently.

Lu Yi had no choice but to quickly walk up to her, raise his hand, and touch her forehead. The girl, seeing the outstretched hand, tried to dodge in fear, but no matter what she did, she couldn't escape. She could only watch helplessly as the hand touched her forehead. A flicker of despair crossed her eyes, and she closed them, waiting quietly. But nothing happened for a long time. After the hand touched her forehead, she felt a warm current flow into her body—it felt wonderful, the first time she had ever felt so comfortable. "Why does he give me such a comfortable feeling?" she wondered, her little head filled with confusion. When she opened her strange eyes, filled with doubt, she saw Lu Yi smiling at her. Her face flushed red as if it were on fire. For someone unfamiliar with this kind of thing, this feeling was completely foreign, but she didn't reject it; on the contrary, she enjoyed it. So she slightly narrowed her eyes, like a cat being pampered by its owner.

"Alright, wake up, little girl. I'm sorry to disturb your enjoyment, but I have to say it, because I'm really tired looking like this." Lu Yi said speechlessly when he saw the little girl squinting her eyes and enjoying herself.

"Ah..." The girl, finally waking up, exclaimed in surprise, staring wide-eyed at Lu Yi.

"What's your name?" Lu Yi asked softly, looking into the girl's eyes.

"I... my name is Liudao Yue'er," the girl said, revealing her name.

"Rokudo... MY GOD, really? The surname Rokudo really exists? Then she'll undoubtedly be the Sage of Six Paths! We've really struck gold this time!" Regardless of time or age, Lu Yi could say that this girl, Rokudo Tsuki, was definitely the legendary Sage of Six Paths. Currently, Tsuki doesn't know how to cultivate, but once she reaches a certain level, she'll be able to control her innate eyes—the Rinnegan.

"Moon".

"kindness???"

"Do you want to have great power? But after you get the power, you must agree to one request."

Yue'er nodded firmly and said that for someone like her, who was struggling in the darkness, power was the most coveted thing. Now that she heard that Lu Yi could give her great power, how could she refuse?

"Okay, my requirement is very simple: after you learn it, you must teach what you've learned to the world. Can you do that?"

Yue'er nodded again.

"Very good, then I will now teach you how to cultivate. Close your eyes." Lu Yi didn't care whether she really agreed or not, but since she was the Six Paths, she shouldn't go back on her word. After seeing her close her eyes, Lu Yi reached out a hand and placed it on her forehead. Then he transmitted the method of refining chakra from Naruto, which he had seen in his previous life, into her mind. Originally, Lu Yi also wanted to modify her physique, but he discovered that Yue'er's physique was actually—an all-attribute physique. This discovery made Lu Yi even more certain of Yue'er's future identity.

After doing all this, Lu Yi planned to leave this world for a while. His memories had returned, and he knew the spatial coordinates of his previous life. He wanted to return there to find his lover from that life—Yu Xin. Before leaving, he didn't want anything to interfere with the original storyline, so he planned to stop time in this world at the moment he departed. With this in mind, Lu Yi summoned the Divine Dragon.

"What do you need me for, Master?" the dragon asked Lu Yi as it appeared.

"Nonsense, I asked you to come out for a stroll for no reason. Now, let's stop time in this world at this moment."

“No problem.” As he spoke, a red light flashed in the dragon’s eyes, and then the surrounding space seemed to freeze. Everything, except Lu Yi and the dragon, stopped at that moment.
