What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

They made their way to the main control room without any major incidents.

"Damn Konoha! Damn Uchiha!"

"Once my Zero Tail is complete, you will pay the price!"

He muttered curses under his breath, his eyes flashing with venom.

His hand rested on the cold metal door.

Take a deep breath.

Once you enter here, activate the fortress.

Even if the energy is insufficient for prolonged flight or combat.

At least we can take off and escape this dangerous place immediately!

The door slid open silently.

Inside the control room, various complex instruments and control panels gleamed with a dim light.

Everything seemed the same as when he left.

Shennong felt somewhat relieved and quickly walked towards the main control panel.

My fingers were itching to press the huge start button.

at this time.

A lazy, slightly playful voice rang out behind him without warning, clearly reaching his ears:

"We've finally arrived."

"Perfect timing, I'm not very good at sailing this big ship yet, why don't you teach me?"

The sound was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering Shennong's soul!

The hairs on his entire body stood on end at that moment.

My blood seemed to freeze instantly!

anyone?

How can it be?

How come there's someone here?

And in such a relaxed tone?

He suddenly raised his head, following the sound.

They looked in utter horror at a metal platform above and to the side of the control room.

A young man dressed in luxurious black attire was casually sitting on the steps of the platform.

One elbow is supporting his knee, and his palm is supporting his chin.

The fingers of his other hand were tapping lightly on the metal railing beside him.

It makes a crisp "tap, tap" sound.

The man was extremely handsome, but what was even more unsettling were his eyes.

Those were pure white eyes with no pupils!

She was looking down at him with a knowing, almost mocking gaze.

It's like watching a pitiful prey that has jumped into a trap.

He looked relaxed and at ease.

It's as if they've been waiting here for a long time.

They were just waiting for Shennong to walk right into their trap.

"By...Byakugan? Hinata?"

"You...who are you?"

Shennong's voice became sharp and distorted due to extreme fear.

He instinctively took a step back and assumed a defensive stance.

My brain is working at full speed.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't connect this young man with the strange Byakugan with "Konoha"!

Does Konoha have such a person?

The Hyuga clan?

Do not!

He had seen the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan before.

It's definitely not this suffocating feeling!

Di Yan slowly stood up and walked down the steps one by one, his movements calm and unhurried.

He ignored Shennong's terror, his gaze sweeping over the sophisticated control instruments around him, his tone remaining calm:

Who I am is not important. What is important is that you now have two choices.

He stopped and stood before Shennong, his pure white eyes seeming to see through all his secrets.

"First, cooperate obediently and teach me how to control this fortress, and perhaps I can give you a quick death."

"Second, I will break your limbs, extract your soul, and slowly extract the information I need in my own way."

"Of course, the process will be very... painful."

Di Yan's tone contained no murderous intent, yet it sent a chill through Shennong that was colder than death itself.

He understood that this time... he was truly doomed.

The man before me is countless times more terrifying than those black-clad ninjas outside!

...

116 Physical Revitalization; Eight Gates Formation

Faced with the two cold choices offered by Di Yan.

Shennong's expression of fear suddenly changed.

That pitiful, pleading look vanished instantly, replaced by a twisted, menacing smile brimming with intense confidence.

"Please? Don't kill me? Hahahaha!"

He let out a harsh laugh, his tone full of sarcasm, "Do you think you've got me figured out? I'm so scared!"

He cracked his neck.

The once hunched and aged body began to emit strange, teeth-grinding noises.

"No matter who you are! No matter what your purpose is!"

"If you dare to trespass here today, you are destined to die!"

Shennong roared, grabbed his robe, and ripped it apart!

"Stab..."

The sound of tearing cloth rang out.

at the same time.

A thick plume of white smoke suddenly erupted from his body.

It instantly enveloped his figure!

From within the white smoke came terrifying sounds of bones cracking and muscles swelling!

The white smoke dissipated quickly.

The person who appeared before Di Yan was no longer the frail and elderly "miracle doctor".

Instead, he was a burly man over two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, exuding explosive power!

His skin shimmered with an unnatural oily sheen.

It seemed to contain boundless power.

Shennong, or rather, the one who had regained his youth, clenched his fist tightly.

Feel the surging power in your body.

His face revealed an expression of extreme disdain and arrogance as he looked down at Di Yan, who was still sitting on the steps.

"Do you think you can take me down just because of those weird eyes of yours?"

His voice was loud and clear, full of confidence, “It doesn’t matter if you have Byakugan or not, or if you’re from Konoha.”

"Lao Tzu's technique for revitalizing the body is not just about healing injuries!"

"It can even enable cells to evolve and divide indefinitely, regain their youth, and gain superhuman strength!"

He flaunted his granite-like muscles:

"Even if the Kage from the Five Great Shinobi Villages came, I might not be afraid now!"

"Especially someone like you with your delicate, fair skin!"

He expected to see shock, fear, or at least a solemn expression on Di Yan's face.

However, Di Yan's reaction stunned him.

Di Yan didn't even stand up.

He maintained that lazy sitting posture.

He simply tilted his head slightly.

Those pure white eyes never left Shennong's body from beginning to end.

It was as if they were observing an interesting experiment.

Only now did Di Yan slowly speak, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion, carrying a deep-seated contempt:

"Oh? Physical activation?"

"It's nothing more than a deformed force forcibly generated by stimulating cells through extreme means, overdrawing life's potential."

His disdainful glances suggested he had seen through Shennong inside and out.

"Crude, inefficient, and with endless consequences."

"Compared to Tsunade's Yin Seal Hundred Healings Technique, which is exquisite and can truly create miracles of regeneration, your little tricks are nothing..."

Di Yan gently shook his head and uttered his final assessment:

“It’s worthless.”

This sentence was like a bucket of ice water.

It instantly extinguished all of Shennong's arrogance, causing a crack to appear in his inflated confidence.

The other party not only saw through his cards completely.

Even... they don't even look down on it?

"Completely worthless?"

Shennong, enraged and embarrassed, retorted, "What do you know!"

Di Yan's understated yet insightful evaluation amplified the unease in Shennong's heart.

The other party seemed to know his trump card perfectly.

This feeling of being completely seen through made him extremely uncomfortable, and even caused him a slight sense of panic.

We can't delay any longer!
