At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 14 The Son Does Not Know His Father, and the Father Does Not Know His Son

And in the original Infinite Train chapter,

In order to protect the passengers and Tanjiro and other younger members of the Demon Slayer Corps, he kept holding on to Akaza tightly and didn't fall down. It was the same situation as when he did that time.

What supports Rengoku Kyojuro to break through his own limits and learn the secret of breathing fire is his will to protect others.

During this demon-hunting mission for Lin Mo and Rengoku Kyojuro, there were no casualties among the Demon Slayer Corps members. You have to know that the opponents they were facing were the Twelve Demon Moons.

This was great news for the Demon Slayer Corps, and Ya went back early to report the news.

Not only will Rengoku Kyojuro, who killed the Twelve Kizuki, be promoted to a Pillar, but the levels of the Demon Slayer Corps members participating in this operation will also be upgraded.

Purgatory Mansion.

Xiao Qianshoulang was so happy to see Lin Mo and Ganlu Temple returning triumphantly.

"Brother Mo, Sister Ganlu Temple."

"Where's Big Brother?"

Xiao Qianjuro stood on tiptoe and looked behind Lin Mo and the others, but did not see any trace of Kyojuro, so he asked.

"Brother should be at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters right now, preparing to take over as the new Flame Pillar." Lin Mo reached out and pressed Chijuro's head, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing the news, Chijuro cried out happily, "Great! Big brother finally fulfilled his dream and became a pillar!"

"I must work hard to become someone like my big brother in the future."

Chijuro clenched his fists and spoke firmly.

Lin Mo suddenly realized something and looked up into the distance.

He smiled and greeted Chizuru Ko and Kanroji, then walked inside.

"It seems that uncle still cares about Brother Kyojuro." Lin Mo looked at the man in front of him and said.

Under the eaves of the corridor, the unshaven Rengoku Makijuro was holding a wine jug, leaning against the door, listening to the noisy sounds outside, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing Lin Mo at this time, Rengoku Makijuro had a blank expression on his face. He picked up the wine jug and took another big gulp. He started to curse: "Who said I care about him? I just thought it was noisy, so I came out to check on the situation."

"If nothing really matters, if you don't care about anything, then why bother listening?"

Lin Mo looked at the twisted middle-aged man in front of him and felt a little pity.

Rengoku Makijuro suffered a double blow from the death of his wife and the knowledge of the truth about the Sun Calling after reading the Book of the Flame Pillar. Although he loved his two children, his fatherly love was directly distorted and deformed under such circumstances, leaving only denial and abuse.

So much so that in the original work, until the moment his eldest brother died, he was unable to gain the recognition of his father Rengoku Makijuro.

Upon learning of his son's death, Rengoku Makijuro could only hide in his room and drink and cry.

The son does not know his father, and the father does not know his son.

There is nothing more.

Rengoku Kyojuro thought that the reason his father became like this was simply because of his mother's death.

Lin Mo knew the real reason, which was much more than that.

Rengoku Makijuro looked at Lin Mo, wiped the wine residue from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and his eyes looked a little bored.

You know absolutely nothing.

do not know anything!
So what if I become a pillar?!

There is no point, no meaning at all.

Rengoku Makijuro's eyes lost their light again. He lowered his eyes and turned to leave.

"You think that being a Pillar is meaningless and that you still can't defeat the Demon King."

"As a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, you will eventually die at the hands of demons. That's why you've been suppressing Kyojuro and his brothers over the years, not teaching them breathing techniques and swordsmanship. You don't want them to become demon hunters, do you?"

Rengoku Makijuro stopped, turned around and stared at Lin Mo.

Like a lion waking up from sleep.

He never thought that the thoughts hidden deep in his heart could be seen through by the young man in front of him.

Although Lin Mo had lived in the Rengoku family for several years, Rengoku Makijuro had never even spoken a few words to him before. He didn't even care about his own son, let alone a nephew whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"Don't look like you know everything!" Rengoku Makijuro glared at Lin Mo and said in a deep voice.

"Breath of the Sun."

"How do you know about Breathing of the Sun? My stupid brother told you?" Rengoku Makijuro asked.

Rengoku Makijuro concedes that Lin Mo learned about the contents of Breathing of the Sun from the Book of the Flame Pillar, and that Lin Mo's father did have the opportunity to read the Book of the Flame Pillar back then.

Seeing that Lin Mo did not deny it.

Rengoku Makijuro said coldly: "Kid, since you already know the contents of the Flame Pillar's Book, then you should know that all our efforts are meaningless."

"People's abilities are predetermined at birth. Talented people are rare, and the rest are just a mob, worthless dust!"

"The Breathing of the Sun is the original breath. All other breaths are merely followers of the Breathing of the Sun! They are crude imitations of the Breathing of the Sun!"

"All breathing techniques, including the Flame, Water, and Wind, are included!!"

"Even the legendary swordsman who used the Breathing of the Sun couldn't kill the Demon King."

"What can ordinary people like us who can't even breathe for a day do?"

Facing Rengoku Makijuro's questioning, Lin Mo calmly said, "You are wrong on two points. First, the swordsman who used the Sun Breathing failed to kill the Ghost King, but that doesn't mean he can't defeat the Ghost King. Second, all other breathing methods are derived from the Sun Breathing method, as you said. But that doesn't mean they are degraded versions of the Sun Breathing method."

"All breathing methods must be the most suitable for the user."

“It’s the person who is strong, not the breathing method.”

"You don't have to make excuses for your weakness."

All of Rengoku Makijuro's knowledge of Breathing of the Sun comes from the Book of the Flame Pillar, which has been passed down from generation to generation in the Rengoku family.

This original book was written by the ancestor of the Rengoku family who lived in the same era as Yoriichirō.

Much of the above content is the subjective understanding of the ancestors of the Purgatory family, and contains many fallacies.

For example, the Book of the Flame Pillar says that only the Chosen One can use the Breathing of the Sun, and the characteristic of the Chosen One of the Sun is that they have a natural mark on their forehead.

Later on, Tanjiro proved this point. The scar on his head was acquired, but he also learned sun breathing.

The Flame Pillar's record of the "Sun-Calling Chosen One" is simply a description of Yoriichi's characteristics, as he didn't know anyone else who could use Sun Breathing. This is as absurd as saying that the "Rock-Calling Chosen One" is born blind or that the "Wind-Calling Chosen One" is possessed of high-grade rare blood. "Born with markings" is Yoriichi's characteristic, but it doesn't represent all "Sun-Calling Breathing users chosen by heaven."

The ancestors of the Purgatory family not only deified the concept of "The Chosen One of the Sun", but also "deified" the "Breath of the Sun" itself.

This led to Rengoku Makijuro's earlier remarks about breathing techniques.
