I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 385 Final Evaluation: A Legend of the Era! Four out of Nine, a Treasure Mountain Laden Before Us!
In Tokyo, Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes in a desolate suburb.

The intense afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling his face. The temperature, so different from the depths of winter, reminded Uesugi Tetsuya that he had returned to the real world.

Everything around him and everything he perceived seemed unchanged, exactly the same as when he last returned to the mortal world.

But Uesugi Tetsu knew that some fundamental changes had already taken place in this world.

Five hundred years ago, history began to subtly veer in another direction.

He took out his nearly dead phone from his storage backpack, and lightning flashed from his fingertips, instantly boosting its battery to 100%.

Then fly into the air and connect to the Wi-Fi.

This way, he can access the internet to search for the information he needs.

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself that having internet access was great; otherwise, he would have to find many people and spend a lot of time to get the information he wanted.

He first searched online for "Oda Nobunaga" and "Tokugawa Ieyasu" and found that the historical trajectory was still the same as before, "Oda unifies the country by force".

It's unknown whether Oda remembered what Yoshimoto said at Okehazama.

Then, the woman who had once met him, as strong as steel, perished in the fire at Honnoji Temple.

"Pity……"

Uesugi Tetsu sighed softly and continued reading on Wikipedia.

Later, the Oda clan was replaced by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was known as the "monkey," and was soon overthrown by Matsudaira Motoyasu, who established the Tokugawa Shogunate, thus beginning the Edo period.

While the major historical developments and turning points may differ in details, they have not deviated significantly from the overall trajectory.

After that, Uesugi Tetsu hesitated for a moment, but still typed in the four characters "Imagawa Yoshimoto" in the search bar.

The search results will appear immediately.

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the search results for a long time, lost in thought.

Because anything related to [Imagawa Yoshimoto] has a higher search index, more related terms, more fan-created content, and even more than Oda Nobunaga, who was known as the Sixth Heaven Demon King and unified the country!
Of course, he was also much better than Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu!
The search results related to this topic are incredibly numerous!

in other words.

Imagawa Yoshimoto is the most popular historical figure from the Sengoku period, the most well-known era among all timelines!

It's so well-known that everyone knows it!
What's happening here?
Uesugi Tetsuya was shocked—the last time the public's impression of Imagawa Yoshimoto was that he was the stepping stone for Oda Nobunaga's defeat at Okehazama.

Even if there have been changes, they shouldn't be this drastic.

He merely escorted Imagawa Yoshimoto to Kyoto for a short while...

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself and clicked on the first result in the search bar: "[Lord of the Tokaido, the First Ruler of the Land, Imagawa Yoshimoto]".

"This prefix is ​​so cringeworthy..."

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but facepalm, and then before the formal historical introduction, he saw a whole bunch of anime girl pictures, including about ten of them from pay-to-win gacha games.

Just by looking at these figures, you can tell that Yoshimoto Imagawa is incredibly popular.

However, Uesugi Tetsu felt that even after being adapted into anime, these pictures still didn't do justice to his real appearance.

Their vision is lacking too; these illustrators and designers seem to have a rather limited imagination...

For a time, Uesugi Tetsuya was making his own comments.

He then looked at the introduction below.

[—The first ruler of the Warring States period, braving the bitter cold of winter, alone announced to the world his intention to march on Luoyang!]

[—Leading an army of a thousand men, cutting through all obstacles in the world!]

Based on historical records, the confirmed battle record is as follows: ...

"Why is she portrayed like a dragon king or a war god...?"

Even so, Uesugi Tetsu continued to peruse the encyclopedia with great interest—in the historical introduction, the seriously ill Imagawa Yoshimoto was described as ruthless and insane in his quest to march on Kyoto.

On the other hand, she was also very concerned about the people's livelihood in the territory and did many things that had a profound impact on their lives...

The contrast is off the charts.

Even when Uesugi Tetsu reached the very bottom, he still couldn't find any trace of himself.

what about me?
Uesugi Tetsu flipped through the text again, completely baffled, but still couldn't find a single "Great Onmyoji Tetsu" among the tens of thousands of words.

Logically speaking, his reputation during the Sengoku period exceeded 30 points. Even if he wasn't written about in such great detail like Imagawa Yoshimoto, he should at least be on par with the monkey of the Oda clan!
He slowly raised an eyebrow and typed "Great Onmyoji Che" into the search bar.

The results appeared quickly.

No search results found.

The following related results have been recommended to you...

Next, Uesugi Tetsu began to search repeatedly for traces of "Great Onmyoji Tetsu".

No.

There's absolutely no trace of him. No matter what software, encyclopedia, or forum topic it's on, there's not a single trace of him.

It's as if this person never existed in history!

But does "Great Onmyoji Tetsu" even exist? Doesn't Uesugi Tetsu know that?
and so.

"It's those people who are afraid."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled coldly, his face expressionless: "So, what are you afraid of..."

He still had the thick list left by Karuta in his hands—those who had survived five hundred years and were still alive today must have been fattened up by time.

There is no need to rush.

Uesugi Tetsuya wasn't worried about being mistaken for "Great Onmyoji Tetsuya" and being relentlessly hunted down.

Not to mention that he wore "masks of resentment" throughout the Warring States period, his birth and background in the present world can be traced back, making it easy to find out that he was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

Moreover, he is the champion of the seed battle and is now under the watchful eye and protection of many beings above the level of gods and demons.

Most importantly, the current "sea level" is still there.

Even if he had encountered the skull of the Demon Guide Association when he was solving the "black phone booth" problem in the real world, and was mistaken for the great Onmyoji Che, so what?

The Demon Guide Association's maximum power level is only Aragami, and the most they can send into the mortal world are only Oni and Shinto.

The ordinary ghosts and spirits who are now coming to hunt him down alone are here to...

Are you delivering vegetables?

If the demon director is willing to spend a fortune... heh, that would be even better.

If he can't beat them, can't he call for backup?

Do you really think connections and background are just for show?

Uesugi Tetsu didn't dwell on these thoughts any longer; he touched the scabbard of the small sword at his waist.

—The vermilion scabbard is indeed quite eye-catching; it'll be perfect to change the color when we find someone to make a new scabbard from the heartwood of a thousand-year-old tree.

If only Zashiki were here, not only could she make the scabbard directly, but if she passed the final trial and became a master craftswoman, she could even forge the legendary key item for advancement—the Three-in-One Mask.

As Uesugi Tetsu thought about it, he looked at the number of soul ash he had left, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

【Soul Ash: 4443→128244】

120,000 souls turned to ashes.

Not only could he easily pay off the 20,000 yuan debt owed to Sheng Hai, but he also left behind a huge sum of 100,000 yuan.

It could be said that they became rich again in an instant.

Based on previous purchasing experience in Sheng Hai, 100,000 Soul Ashes are enough to acquire a sub-mythical quality item, or even several legendary items.

If used for gacha pulls, it can easily clear the entire gacha pool.

Let's take another look at the Soul Points on Xiao Jia's panel.

Soul Points: 212 → 14822

Not bad, very good!

Finally, the demons from the Demon Guild were very strong and had already provided the majority of the remaining Soul Points.

With a full 14,000 Soul Points, the only exceptions are the Prison of Separation and Disease, both of which cost five figures to upgrade.

That's enough for Uesugi Tetsuya to further upgrade several of Kaga Kiyomitsu's effects.

Of course, there's no rush to improve this now.

Let me first look at the final settlement notification for the Warring States period—

[Dear World Traveler, we have detected that you have completed all missions in the Late Muromachi Period/Sengoku Era and have returned to the present world. We are now reassessing your evaluation...]

[Your final rating for the late Muromachi/Sengoku period is: A Legendary Era!]

[Legend of the Era: A unique rating that appeared after the walking evaluation exceeded the original highest rating level "SSS+++".]

If you receive this evaluation, it means that you have become one of the legends of that era that cannot be ignored and that all living beings have heard of to some extent.

You truly changed an era spanning a century and several generations single-handedly to a certain extent!

At the same time, your legend will be passed down to future generations, passed down by word of mouth, recorded in writing, and transformed into a legend...

The written review was somewhat unexpected for Uesugi Tetsuya.

He originally thought he would create something like an SSSS-level character.

A legend of the era... well, that assessment certainly fits his actions.

[Dear World Walker, we are currently filtering high-rarity rewards for you...]

Because of the phrase "high rarity," Uesugi Tetsu patiently watched the "..." refresh for a full half hour before finally seeing the new notification.

【Screening completed! 】

You can choose four rewards from the following nine options!

Choose four out of nine!

Uesugi Tetsuya perked up and looked down.

[1. Soul Ash Crate: Opening a Soul Ash Crate immediately grants 200000 Soul Ash.]

The classic Soul Ash reward start – the image shows a treasure chest emitting a faint glow.

20 Soul Ash is indeed a lot.

But he didn't choose it.

The more Soul Ash you have, the more valuable the rewards below will appear.

Uesugi Tetsu remembered that when he last cleared Kisaragi Station for the reward of choosing three out of six, he only had two or three thousand Soul Ashes.

What are the rewards after that?

He was looking forward to it.

[2. Walking Imprint: Obtain the unique quest item related to the "Walking Through the World" identity. Completing this quest will significantly increase the rarity of the "Walking Through the World" identity and grant unknown rewards.]

Without even looking, Uesugi Tetsuya knew this was one of the must-choose options.

He might not have wanted it a few months ago, but now he wouldn't hesitate at all.

—The presence of Lord Mokujin in the walking gathering, and behind the walkers, there is a high probability that the unpredictable [Lord of the Eternal World] is standing behind them.

It's not like he's choosing one out of nine; how could he possibly give up on this walking imprint?
[3. The Great Path: Based on your practice of the "Life River Breathing Method," the two most suitable subsequent chapters will be deduced, significantly improving the efficiency of your breathing method practice.]

Exclusive rewards related to breathing techniques...

The next two chapters are 【The Treasury of Spirit】 and the chapter that follows.

Given that he is almost finished cultivating the Sea of ​​Qi and the Palace of Flesh, and considering the time that has passed, it will probably take another year or two to cultivate these two major chapters.

If efficiency is greatly improved, the time required for cultivation can probably be halved, which is quite good. His first two chapters are also nearing completion; only the last major acupoint remains.

This reward actually came at a very opportune time.

There are some opinions; let's put them in the options section first.

Both rewards are quite good, living up to their reputation for "high rarity"...

Looking down, Uesugi Tetsuya's slightly smiling eyes froze.

The eerie characters were displayed before his eyes.

[4. Unique Hundred Eyes: Greatly increases the quality and rarity of your Demon Avatar - Hundred Eyes Oni, ensuring that it will immediately become "Thousand Eyes" after advancing to the level of a demon god, and significantly increasing the possibility of it becoming "Ten Thousand Eyes".]

At the same time, it eliminates the potential influence and corruption of the "Thousand Eyes" and "Shadow of Ten Thousand Eyes" from the original history on your demon incarnation, Hundred-Eyed Demon, and prevents them from affecting your demon incarnation, Hundred-Eyed Demon, by any means.

Uesugi Tetsuya was startled, and the slight joy he had felt earlier vanished instantly.

—His incarnation, Hyakume-ki, has actually been affected!?

He himself felt absolutely nothing!

"It's that clay sculpture of the Thousand-Eyed Ksitigarbha..."

Uesugi Tetsuya pondered silently, then reread the reward description and realized what was happening.
"No, it's [Thousand Eyes], it's the Thousand Eyes that was suppressed by Ksitigarbha a thousand years ago that is the culprit behind this potential influence."

Those ancient thousand eyes already bore the shadow of the [Ten Thousand Eyes]!

Even after being suppressed and forgotten for a thousand years, it remains alive and can transcend the limitations of time and space to influence its incarnation, the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

Such methods are unheard of!

A single shadow can be so terrifying...

If the Thousand Eyes of yesteryear had truly become the Ten Thousand Eyes, wouldn't a great terror have been entrenched in the long river of time?
Fortunately, a thousand years ago, a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shouted, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" and sacrificed himself to suppress the Thousand Eyes.

Fortunately, he received this reward before he could transform into a demon god.

Required!
There's nothing to think about, otherwise not only will the Hyakume incarnation have problems, but even he himself will be corrupted and affected.

This immediately took up half of the available space.

Compared to these two rewards, the "smooth road" seems a bit less appealing.

Let's continue to observe first.

Uesugi Tetsu let out a breath and quickly calmed himself down.

[5. Legendary Items: Upgrades all "Avatar Items" you currently possess, which are transformed from Demon Avatars, to at least Legendary quality, but does not affect the quality of the Demon Avatar itself.]

This option seems good at first glance, but there's always a chance to achieve it once you turn the demon incarnation item into a legendary one.

It may not be far away.

Red Hannya Mask can become a legend after forging the three masks into one, and Hundred Eyes can most likely do the same after advancing to the level of a demon god and becoming Thousand Eyes.

As for the six-tailed fox...

Wasting a choice opportunity for a jade pendant?

It's still too low in cost-effectiveness, even worse than the 20 Soul Ash.

[6. Seeing the Divine Imperishable: Based on your "Embracing the Elixir," you will be able to see the "divine" within your own body, which governs you, controls trillions of cells, and maintains you in a perfect state at all times, thus making your body nearly immortal.]

"Seeing 'God' is not bad?"

Uesugi Tetsu fell into a subtle state of mind.

There are some opinions about this option.

After seeing the god, one should be able to complement the current breathing technique, the dantian (energy center), and the powerful physical body.

Uesugi Tetsu had a feeling that if he could master it perfectly, his own regenerative ability would be off the charts, and rebirth from a drop of blood would not be impossible.

Their close-combat ability will also be elevated to a whole new level.

The subsequent practice of breathing techniques will also be more convenient and simple, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Now that we know there is a realm called "Undying Before Godhood" above "Embracing the Elixir," it proves that it is possible to cultivate this realm on one's own.

Just because he can't fix it right away doesn't mean Ririko can't fix it right away!

It should be noted that the "Embracing the Elixir" method was a realm that Lili Zi herself compiled from a bunch of inexplicable and most likely useless ancient books.

With her talent and the sword spirit that has reached the other side, as long as she knows there is a way forward, what is there to fear about not being able to reach the shore?

This is an option, but let's keep it as a backup for now.

[7. Not-So-Ordinary Plain Gun: Upgrades your special item "Ordinary Plain Gun" to "Rare+++". You can now preview the upgraded item.]

Uesugi Tetsu clicked "Preview".

【"An unusually simple gun" (special item)】

[Quality: Rare +++]

Current reserves: 499

[Effect: Generates nine basic guns of the same quality as "Not Ordinary Basic Guns" daily.]

—A samurai does not die unarmed.

Uesugi Tetsu: “…”

What does he need so many plain guns for?

Want to cosplay as the Streetlight King?

If it were transformed into an "epic basic gun," its value might increase several times over, but a whole bunch of mass-produced rare weapons... for him now, there's really no need for them.

After acquiring the "Lightning Control" physique, Uesugi Tetsu no longer needed to rely on weapons to unleash the powerful Five Thunder Technique.

Needless to say, just pass.

8. The Demon King's Map of the Mortal World: A map of the Mortal World drawn by the Demon King himself, measured on foot. It is incredibly detailed and clear, showing your location and that of the reporter on the map. Spanning multiple eras, countless races, and regions, it encompasses over 70% of the known area of ​​the Mortal World, making it one of the largest maps in the Mortal World.

Demon King?

It's the Demon King again.

Uesugi Tetsu thought of the protection from the Demon King and the gacha pool "The Demon King's Heaven on Earth" that still silently existed in his soul.

Who exactly is this Demon King?

It's amazing that it can explore 70% of the Earthly Realm on its own...

But one thing is certain: the Demon King is definitely a terrifying being.

Judging from the events related to the Demon King so far, He is most likely still inclined towards goodwill.

This map is very important.

Its importance far surpasses that of "a smooth and easy road" and "seeing the gods without decay".

Because the first two are things that I can do with my current time, but to explore 70% of the Eternal World on my own and mark it in detail...

Are you kidding me? Is he some kind of calamity?
Uesugi Tetsu thought.

He will definitely leave the fixed area in the future and explore the ordinary world on his own. At that time, having a clear map would make it much easier to navigate.

It's just unknown how much of the world the Special Affairs Bureau and the Onmyōryō have explored over the long term and drawn up a map of the world.

If the success rate is over 50%, then perhaps we won't need to choose the Demon King's map.

After a moment's thought, Uesugi Tetsuya did not act impulsively. Instead, he first inquired about Nanjo Manami's situation and received the answer he wanted.

Less than 10%.

That's right.

Currently, the Special Affairs Department has only explored less than 10% of the World Map, and it will not be higher, but only lower.

Even including the Onmyoji Bureau, it's difficult to reach 25%.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't understand how, after so many years and so many people, they had only explored this small area, less than what the Demon King had accomplished alone.

But it doesn’t matter.

He doesn't need to know the various reasons; he only needs to know that he should choose this map.

Finally, it is.

[9. Amoghasiddhi Mani Offering Mantra: Enables your special shikigami, Yasakani Bodhisattva, to learn one of the supreme secret mantras of Buddhism, the "Amoghasiddhi Mani Offering Mantra".]

By reciting this secret mantra, one can transform demons, monsters, evil spirits, and impure things such as mixed incense and wishes into superior offerings for oneself, and cultivate oneself through this.

Reciting this mantra can eradicate most diseases, suffering, sins, and afflictions, and bestow auspiciousness and happiness upon the recipient, bringing them contentment.

By reciting this mantra hundreds of thousands of times, one can gradually make one's tongue bloom like a lotus flower and one's physical body as pure as diamond.

This is a secret mantra specifically for adults; the description makes it seem quite powerful.

Uesugi Tetsu mentally reviewed the description of the two-foot-tall man's special heavenly path, and then recalled the knowledge related to incense and wishes, and the two-foot-tall man who had been eroded by wishes to the point that he had to seal himself into the Jizo statue.

He then carefully examined all nine awards from bottom to top.

I have already made up my mind.

"Choose Reward 2: Walking Imprint, Reward 4: Unique Hundred Eyes, Reward 8: The Demon King's Map of the Eternal World, Reward 9: Amoghasiddhi Mani Offering Mantra!"

[Dear Worldly Walker, you have selected reward 2, 4, 8, or 9.]

Confirm your selection?

"Yes."

After Uesugi Tetsuya selected all four rewards, a large number of ellipses appeared on the panel.

He knew this meant it would take quite a while.

so now.

Let's go back to the Imagawa-kan first and check on how that cherry blossom tree is growing.

……

Shizuoka Prefecture, Shizuoka City, Aoi Ward.

Five hundred years have passed, and the former Imagawa-kan, later Suruga-fu, has become a classic tourist attraction, drawing quite a few visitors.

Uesugi Tetsu stepped over the cracked wooden threshold and strolled slowly through the scenic spot. He found that his former residence was brand new, the dust was gone, and it seemed that nothing had changed and time had not passed.

He could tell that both the walls and the furniture had been replaced more than once, and the layout had also changed a lot.

Then push open the creaking sliding door.

Uesugi Tetsuya could then see the small wooden pavilion, along with the unchanged stone table and benches placed inside.

Two young girls were squeezed on the stone bench, laughing and chatting as they held up their phones, seemingly taking photos to check in.

Beside the pavilion, there is a cherry blossom seed that Imagawa Yoshimoto once planted himself.

Now it has grown into a graceful cherry blossom tree that you can reach out and touch from the pavilion.

The cherry blossom branches are lush and dense, with cherry blossoms blooming in abundance, a truly beautiful sight, living up to the hopes he and Imagawa Yoshimoto had held back then.

There was no wind at the moment, yet the branches were swaying loudly.

Inside the pavilion, the girl, who was about to press the shutter, looked at Uesugi Tetsuya in surprise: "Handsome guy, it feels like it's greeting you as soon as you arrive, welcoming you back!"

Uesugi Tetsuya paused for a moment, then smiled at the girl and the cherry blossom branches swaying gently behind her.

"Yes, it's welcoming me."
