Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 147 Demon Race! Reset!
This is still Karakura Town.

Although his memories had faded and become distant with the end of the secret realm, Guan Yi quickly recognized that the place he was in was the same place he had entered the Mysterious Realm of Death more than five years ago!
After a quick confirmation, Guan Yi learned the current time—February 1998.

The secret realm has indeed been reset.

After the 'Bleach' storyline ended, the timeline was reset from the end of 2003 back to the beginning of 1998!

But Guan Yi did not leave the secret realm.

"Why is this happening?"

Normally, a reset of a secret realm will eject all explorers and reopen it after a period of time to accommodate the next wave of explorers. The Mysterious Realm of the Dead will certainly be no exception, since it has been explored dozens of times as a romance secret realm!
Recalling the knowledge he had gained over the past five years, Guan Yi's expression hardened slightly, and he quickly headed towards the original meeting point, Mashiba Park in Karakura Town.

When they arrived at the park, two students from the special training class were already there, both looking anxious.

"Guan Yu, you're here too."

"As expected, none of them were able to leave."

It turns out that I wasn't the only one who was special; probably none of the students in the special training class were able to leave.

This rare phenomenon had been described by Professor Yin in her class. After a moment of eye contact, the three exclaimed in unison, "Dream Reincarnation?!"

The three of them immediately fell silent.

This is a tactic used by the demon race.

Through a unique secret method, the passage to the secret realm is sealed off, preventing explorers from being ejected when the realm ends. They are trapped in the realm round after round until all explorers die or the realm is completely conquered.

There are two necessary conditions for performing this secret technique: one is that a demon with a strength of five patterns or above sacrifices himself outside the secret realm to confuse the realm's consciousness and block the passage.

Secondly, one or more demons may enter the secret realm, serving as an anchor point for the activation of its power.

In other words, if it really is a dream reincarnation, it means that a hidden demon has infiltrated this special training class and has never been discovered!
As time went on, more and more members of the special training class arrived at Mazhi Park, and after confirming the situation, they remained silent with grim expressions.

For most people, demons are still something that only exists in books. But the current situation tells them that there may be demons among their friends and partners who have been with them for more than five years. How can they easily accept this?
Are they really willing to sacrifice a demon with five-striped strength to deal with these people?

If there are demons among them, who are they, and why haven't they revealed themselves yet?
Guan Yi's gaze swept across everyone's face, recalling the details of the past five years, but he found no suspicious points.

An hour later, Professor Yin arrived. Her face was grim as she said, "I never expected this to happen. The demons... have unknowingly infiltrated the heart of our Zodiac State."

Everyone, don't lose your composure due to unfounded suspicions. The demons may not be among us. Don't forget, this secret realm has an entry limit of 100 people, and we only used 36 slots. Perhaps, without our knowledge, some demons have secretly infiltrated this secret realm.

I have taught you for five years, and I have seen your dedication and hard work. It is difficult for demons to maintain their pretense for five years.

Now, let's start over. First, let's establish a foothold in Karakura Town using the intelligence we've gathered, and then regroup here in a week! Everyone needs a week to calm down and reflect before we discuss how to deal with this incident!

Furthermore, from now on, everyone must be extra careful of sudden attacks from the demons!

Her arrangements significantly reduced the number of suspicious glances exchanged among the training class members. Given the current situation, gatherings were indeed inconvenient.

At this moment, Ouyang Yu stepped forward and said, "That's right, I don't believe there are any demons among us either. It must be other guys who sneaked in!"

"It's hard to say," Zhou Ke said. "I find that king with the cat very suspicious. Why would he encounter danger in this secret realm of love?"

"Hmm? Her?"

"Speaking of which..."

Everyone began to speculate, and Professor Yin frowned, unable to stop them any longer.

The girl and the cat were indeed suspicious; they looked like they were hiding something.

But... it wasn't her.

Guan Yi had already started using the methods of sorcerers to make calculations. Without the power of the supernatural, the results were not clear. The only thing he was certain of was that the demons who initiated the Dream Reincarnation were among them!
"Trouble..."

Guan Yi didn't know if the demons knew the true situation of the Mysterious Realm of Death before they took action, but he knew he had to prepare for the worst.

Let's find this demon first.

I need to find some things to set up the array for more accurate divination. To ensure success and further enhance the sorcerer's abilities, perhaps it's necessary to venture into the fringes of the storyline to gain some life points to activate the second phase of the plan?

Guan Yi unfolded the plan and suddenly froze.

[Recipient: Guan Yi]

[Secret Realm to be Conquered: Death]

[Helping the Secret Realm: Under One Person]

[Project Vision: Through targeted assistance within secret realms, fundamentally elevate the recipient's soul, helping them complete their conquest of the Grim Reaper.] [Wealth: 0]

[Life Points: 0]

The specific support measures are as follows:

[I. Infrastructure: Join a prestigious sect within the "Under One Person" system, master the cultivation techniques for life and destiny, and complete the cultivation within five years. The first five years are free; from the second five years onwards, the fee increases annually.]

[II. Visiting Distinguished Families: Omitted]

[III. Exploring Unique Skills: Omitted]

[IV. Ascension to Immortality: Omitted]

[The projects of visiting prestigious families, exploring extraordinary skills, and achieving ascension to immortality are not currently feasible.]

[Infrastructure construction is currently underway, initiating the first five-year phase of infrastructure development.]

The first five years: infrastructure development?!
Guan Yi tentatively activated it.

Infrastructure construction projects are underway.

Please select a faction to join:

1. Tang Clan

2. Wuhou School
3. Longhu Mountain

Guan Yi paused for a few seconds, then chose the Wuhou faction?

Consciousness plummeted.

……

When the scene before her eyes became clear again, what appeared in front of Guan Yi was an old lady wiping away tears with a handkerchief, Fifth Aunt, Zhuge Yi!
"Back then, my third brother suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even divination couldn't find him. Everyone thought he had been murdered by villains, and that it even involved the Qing government and foreigners. No one dared to investigate further."

Who knew… he was so foolish! For a woman, he abandoned his family and clan, concealed his whereabouts, and disappeared without a trace for decades. If it weren't for this chaotic world, our Zhuge family would probably never have known that he had a descendant!

She spoke familiar and long-forgotten lines, gave Guan Yi the name 'Zhuge Yi', and took him to the clan chief to register him in the family genealogy. On the way, they also met their seventh cousin, Zhuge Chen, who had passed away as early as 1960.

But my seventh cousin is only 33 years old.

Because it is 1919!
The 98-year-old ancestor of the Zhuge family returned to the year he was 18, and everything was repeating itself.

No, it was reset!
With the reset of the Mysterious Realm of Death, the project plan was also reset?! He was no longer the 98-year-old ancestor of the Zhuge family who had completed 16 infrastructure projects, but had returned to the time of 'recognizing his ancestors and returning to his roots'!
The meticulous restoration of 80 years is gone.

The memories of 80 years ago are still there!

Guan Yi was shaken and was settled in.

As his fifth aunt told him to rest, Guan Yi suddenly asked, "Fifth aunt, where does the Zhuge family practice martial arts? Can I go and take a look?"

Fifth Aunt was taken aback, then smiled kindly and said, "You should have said 'our family.' Interested in martial arts? Third Brother must have taught you some basic body-strengthening techniques, right? Alright, since you're not tired, I'll take you to see them."

Following her fifth aunt, Guan Yi arrived at the Zhuge family's martial arts training ground a day early.

Amidst shouts of "Hey ha!", Guan Yi turned his gaze to the tree in the distance—where a girl was crashing into it.

Fifth Aunt followed his gaze and smiled, "That's our Zhuge family's Little Moon, the youngest girl of your generation."

"Hitting a tree is a form of cultivation. Even the girls of the Zhuge family undergo rigorous physical training in pursuit of longevity."

Noticing their prying eyes, Zhuge Yue, her eyes brimming with tears, turned around and ran over quickly.

"Fifth Aunt! What are you doing at the drill ground? This brother... seems a little unfamiliar?"

The 16-year-old girl's bright smile gradually replaced the scarred face she had when she was 27.

Guan Yi suddenly smiled to herself.

It would be nice to do it again.

Who will get this precious opportunity?

If I had to do it again, I'd have to live a different life.

I can do better next time.

I will climb to the pinnacle of sorcerer, stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhuge Liang, and even surpass him!
The demons lurk in the shadows, a cycle of dreams and reincarnation?
Having laid the foundation for the world of Under One Person twice, who knows, I might even be able to conquer the Mysterious Realm of Death!
