Shaman King world.
Asakura Hao's closed eyes slowly opened as his consciousness returned to his body.
In his mind, the scene of the previous battle appeared.
"My hesitation actually led to my complete defeat."
Leaping down from the rooftop, Asakura Hao's feet gently touched the ground.
He opened his palm, looking at the Fire Spirit, which had shrunk into a ball of flame in his hand.
"You felt excited just now, didn't you? We are about to step into a world much vaster than becoming the Shaman King."
The flame formed by the Fire Spirit trembled slightly, seemingly in full agreement with Asakura Hao's idea.
Asakura Hao was not angry about being defeated by Uchiha Madara.
The opponent had defeated him head-on. Even if it was an attack that gambled his life, using the rules of the Chat Group, it was still within the allowed scope.
If anything, it was Asakura Hao who had been too careless.
"Well, I'll just win it back next time."
However, it was precisely because of this defeat that he realized how terrifying the Chat Group was.
It could completely simulate his body, and even the Fire Spirit could be directly simulated.
Even death could be made almost realistic.
Uchiha Madara manipulated the so-called Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, and 1000 fists came crashing down.
He used all his strength to block, but he was ultimately unprepared, only managing to block about half of the attacks.
Subsequently, both the Fire Spirit and himself were bombarded by those dense, bullet-like fists.
Even the Fire Spirit couldn't withstand those dense fists. Even if his Yin-Yang Master techniques were strong, his physical body couldn't compare to the Fire Spirit.
Moreover, the physical strength simulated by the Chat Group was almost equivalent to his current body; it was simply impossible to block such power.
"Chat Group... Uchiha Madara, and that mysterious Group Leader." Asakura Hao's face curved into a smile, "Perhaps the days ahead won't be boring."
[Ding! Group Leader has added Dragon Balls to the consignment platform. Group members who wish to use them can go purchase them.]
Asakura Hao was stunned.
Dragon Balls?
What are those?
Asakura Hao skillfully opened the Chat Group and clicked on the newly appeared option.
A moment later, seven orange glass orb images with different star counts popped up.
"Dragon Balls that can grant any wish, including reviving the dead, but limited to one."
"Revive..."
Asakura Hao's usually calm expression became slightly agitated.
Memories from a thousand years ago began to surge from the depths of his mind.
The shaman who was killed by ordinary people, his own mother.
For a thousand years, Asakura Hao had worked tirelessly.
His goal in wanting to become the Shaman King was to eliminate the filthy ordinary people and build a world inhabited only by shamans.
In addition, he also intended to use the power of the Shaman King to find his mother from the 4.6 billion years of this planet's history and revive her.
"Dragon... Balls, can they really do it?"
Asakura Hao didn't even notice that his voice was trembling slightly.
Upon seeing the price of the Dragon Balls, Asakura Hao's brow furrowed slightly.
"To purchase the right to use the Dragon Balls requires 5000 points."
Points?
What are those?
There was a point sign-in system nearby, and Asakura Hao subconsciously clicked on it.
[Ding, you can sign in once a month. Signing in once can earn you 1 to 100 points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you have received 25 points.]
"Only this much?"
Asakura Hao knitted his brows tightly.
25 points a month, when would he gather enough?
Moreover, these 25 points weren't fixed; perhaps next month it would only be 1 point.
Looking at the nicknames of all the members on the Chat Group's public screen, Asakura Hao hesitated slightly and changed his nickname from 'Great Onmyoji' to his own name, Asakura Hao.
[Asakura Hao: "@Everyone, I'm the new member Asakura Hao. Can I ask some questions?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "..."]
What the heck, so polite?
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Yes, you can. What do you want to ask? @Asakura Hao."]
[Asakura Hao: "Can the Dragon Balls sold on the consignment platform truly revive the dead?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "If a soul imprint exists, yes. If the soul has been forcibly erased, it cannot be done. However, please note that people who died of natural causes or disease cannot be revived."]
In other words, only lives that died of unnatural causes could be revived.
[Asakura Hao: "What about people who died a long time ago?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "How long?"]
[Asakura Hao: "Approximately 1000 years."]
[Uchiha Madara: "..."]
[Haibara Ai: "..."]
[Others: "..."]
Does this Great Onmyoji have a special misunderstanding about 'died a long time ago'?
1000 years, their ashes could have been scattered.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "They can be revived. A thousand years is not too long. According to the laws of your world, it is not difficult for a shaman's soul to remain undying for a millennium."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Asakura Hao, I'm very curious, who do you want to revive? Asanoha, or Ohachiyo?"]
In the Shaman King world, upon seeing the Chat Group's message, Asakura Hao jumped up.
[Asakura Hao: "You... how did you know?"]
Unbelievable. He had never told anyone in the group who he wanted to revive, had he?
And, they even said the names.
Asanoha, Asakura Hao's mother from a thousand years ago, and Ohachiyo, who could be said to be Asakura Hao's closest friend.
In a sense, if it weren't for Ohachiyo's power…
He would have been killed a thousand years ago.
The excessive use of Ohachiyo's power led to Ohachiyo's death.
This was something Asakura Hao had felt guilty about for many years.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "When you join the Chat Group, the past and future of your world will be recorded by the Chat Group, but only a part, not everything."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "However, don't worry, this is only the predetermined past and future. In other words, it's what would have happened in your world if you hadn't joined the Chat Group."]
[Asakura Hao: "Is that all?"]
This Great Onmyoji was somewhat unwilling to believe it, but thinking about it, this was the only relatively reasonable explanation.
Asakura Hao, unable to find an answer, skipped the topic.
[Asakura Hao: "How do I get the points to exchange for the Dragon Balls?"]
To be honest, if it was really one sign-in per month, with 1 to 100 random points per sign-in, then who knew how many years it would take to revive someone. Moreover, he wanted to revive two lives, not just one.
He wasn't sure if the Dragon Balls could revive two people, or only one person at a time.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Hmm, didn't you look at the consignment platform's rules?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Every group member can consign valuable items with multiple usage rights. Through the Chat Group's evaluation, you can obtain a certain amount of points."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "In addition, if an item you upload is purchased by other group members, you will also receive points equal to one-tenth of the purchase price. This can be obtained multiple times."]
[Asakura Hao: "I see, I understand."]
[Ding! Asakura Hao uploaded "Chō Senjiryakketsu" and received 1000 points.]
Asakura Hao looked at the new line of point numbers in the Chat Group.
"Is that all?"
However, it was still good that his old writings from many years ago could fetch a thousand points.
Asakura Hao's expression was calm, but the light in his eyes could not conceal the stirring emotions within him.
He once again uploaded some cultivation methods for spiritual power and Yin-Yang Master techniques.
After system evaluation.
In Asakura Hao's Chat Group personal account.
A total of 4150 points.
