In an instant, the platform it stood on, the rocks, lava, and fire lizards began to lift into the air, being sucked towards a single point in the sky.
The objects swirled and gathered, forming a giant sphere like a small planet floating in the sky, getting denser with each object that was pulled into it.
The fire lizards were unable to do anything about it, trapped in the overwhelming force of attraction generated by the Chibaku Tensei, making them look as if they were resigned to this god-like power.
After confirming that about a hundred fire lizards were gathered in a giant ball floating in the sky, El looked at it with great concentration.
El slowly closed his left eyelid, concentrating her remaining stamina. "Amaterasu," she said firmly, as she opened his left eye which immediately radiated deadly power.
Blood dripped from between his left eye as black flames appeared, burning the planetary sphere floating in the volcanic sky.
The flames from the underworld spread rapidly, mercilessly consuming every fire lizard and all the matter it collected.
"Graaa!" The screams of pain from the fire lizards echoed, screeching as they were engulfed in black flames that could not be extinguished.
As soon as Amaterasu disappeared, the giant ball shattered without a trace, leaving a void in the sky where it had been floating.
The six tomoe on Rinnegan's ripples disappeared one by one, indicating that El had overused his stamina.
"Ugh," El complained, staggering and finally falling, his left knee hitting the surface of the platform. "Using two high-level Kekai Genkai at once is really draining my stamina!"
El sighed, "In fact, I've distributed all the attribute points into VIT, making it 72 points," El muttered resignedly. "But, at least it's much better than before."
El recalled the incident in the forest a moment ago. "Back then, I had to activate Mark to increase attributes while accessing Six Path twice in a row, in Nagato-like potential."
At that instant, a system notification sounded.
Ding!

[With your successful passing of this 1st floor Exam, you are eligible to go to the 2nd floor. On your next visit, you are eligible to go directly to the 2nd floor]
[Do you want to go to the 2nd floor?]
Before making a decision, El picked up a bottle of Stamina Restoring Potion and gulped it down. Quickly, the depleted stamina was replenished, and the six tomoe on Rinnegan's ripples that had previously disappeared reappeared.
"Fyuh," El breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, system, I want to go up to the 2nd floor," she said firmly, determination in his eyes.
A moment after that, El's body disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a volcanic field still filled with hot lava.
***
In order to continue improving his attributes, El never tired of challenging the various tests in the Tower of Reincarnation.
However, occasionally El would return to his home in the Reincarnation Room to rest, recovering his injuries naturally without the use of any Healing Potions, except for the Stamina Restorer Potion.
Unlike in the training simulation house, the injuries and fatigue obtained in the Reincarnation Tower Trials are real.
In battle, El needed large amounts of stamina to maximize the potential of Amaterasu, Susano'o, Amanotejikara and even Six Path.
In addition, the wounds he received were not small. Because of this, El needs adequate rest time to recover his body.
Even so, his exams went smoothly. However, the rewards from the Reincarnation Tower were always random and inconsistent. Sometimes he only got Points, sometimes attribute Points, and there were times when the choice of rewards was very limited.
However, one thing was certain in the Reincarnation Tower: the higher the evaluation results, the better the reward options available.
Even so, El sometimes encountered problems. Sometimes there are no VIT attribute options in the reward list, or the evaluation results are low.
Therefore, if the evaluation result was unsatisfactory or the VIT attribute was not available in the reward list, El chose to give up and retake the Reincarnation Tower Test.
...
Finally, the seventh day arrived. El stood in the middle of the forest with his body exhausted and badly injured from using Six Path at a potential that almost matched Nagato and the battle was quite intense.
El's surroundings were filled with traces of battle, fallen trees, the ground torn up to a depth of 40 cm, and the lifeless bodies of black wolves the size of full-grown cows lying on the ground.
Ding!

In front of El, a system hologram screen appeared displaying the list of rewards from the exam this time. "Hmm, I don't need the first option." he said, watching the hologram screen.
With calm movements, El moved his fingers like an orchestra conductor, selecting the second and third options from the list.

With this, there were 10 more attribute points left for El to qualify for the Authority advancement exam.
El sighed heavily, "Increasingly, the Sun Breathing Style feels less and less effective here, except for the enhancements given. Whereas, in the original world, this technique was very dominating, and the visual effects felt real," he muttered, looking tired.
Holding his eye area, El hissed softly and said, "Moreover, the more I use Rinnegan, the more this emptiness is felt," he murmured coldly.
Then, El took a bottle of Stamina Restorer Potion from inside the Storage Ring and gulped it down to quickly restore his energy.
Kring!
Shortly after drinking the potion, a notification popped up on the device on his wrist. El immediately looked at the message that had just come in.
[Sister Ichigo: Misaka has obtained the clone creation data, Misaka reports to Adrian]
[Adrian: Oh, got it already? Alright, wait a minute I'll be here soon]
El closed the hologram screen on his Device and decided to exit the Tower of Reincarnation, postponing the challenge to the next floor for another time.
After all, the higher the floor, the tougher the test. El would gather enough experience and strength to return to challenge the next floor.
In addition, El also wanted to quickly pick up the items that had been ordered through Sister Ichigo.
El considered stopping by the auction house, hoping to find interesting items or skills that might strengthen or restore his soul, which was increasingly being damaged by the excessive use of Rinnegan in the past.
Looking ahead with determination, El reminded himself not to fall into madness like Uchiha Madara or Kaguya Otsutsuki who drowned in their power.
Or even become a figure like Nagato Uzumaki who considered himself a God just because he had Rinnegan.
In other words, El did not want to be addicted to or overly dependent on Rinnegan's abilities. "I will remain myself," El muttered to himself.
Although his nature would grow colder and seem almost emotionless, El had accepted the consequences of possessing Rinnegan's eyes. It was the path he had chosen, and he was ready to take the risk.
