Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Faith is more like rice and gifts.

Only gods and monsters of the lowest rank or above need this.

Just like Hagoromo Gitsune and Rihan, their strength would be greatly reduced if they lost the fear of humans; there's nothing that can be done about it.

"Isn't there any benefit?"

"There are some, but they don't mean much."

Eiro Hanacho said, unusually, "The monsters that my aunt saved before also developed faith in her. This thing can be transformed into delicious food, or exquisite clothes and ornaments through the power of the gods."

To put it bluntly, the power of faith is money in the eyes of the gods.

Lower-level deities can use it to replenish their divine power (it can only replenish, not enhance), while higher-level deities can transform it into various things.

However, for gods of the great demon level, the power of faith is not only useless, but also requires them to manage personnel, adding to their troubles.

Imagine, how could a great demon capable of causing the heavens and earth to weep and forcibly shatter the world be swayed by the emotions of mere humans and demons?

"However, we actually came to Jingshi this time to plan this as well."

The power of faith is of little use, but the Kingdom of God, especially a well-managed one, is indeed enticing.

Yes, they can freeload and reap the benefits of others.

If you were in that situation, wouldn't you be unhappy?

"you…"

Gu Yun put his hands in his sleeves, somewhat understanding: "You're planning to take over this place?"

The divine kingdom in a pure world is called the divine land, while the divine kingdom in a turbid world is called the defiled land.

“Master, what you said is incorrect.”

“Uka no Mitama has already fallen, and no new god has been born. In that case, how can we be considered to have taken it?”

The true Great Inari God has fallen, and Kūgen and Gyokuyō are also Inari Gods.

Do they have the right to rule this dreamlike divine kingdom?

"Should unclaimed property be kept by a virtuous person?"

Gu Yun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to stand on the side of his own people.

Besides, where does "yours" and "mine" come from? Aren't they all Gu Yun's alone?

Even if Yu Yao and Kong Huan, or the Painting World Flower and Bird Scroll, occupy this divine land, in essence, it still belongs to Gu Yun.

Even they belong to Gu Yun, let alone their things.

“If we ask, you will definitely agree.”

The shikigami were already well aware of Gu Yun's personality.

No matter who it is, as long as they have a request of him and it does not violate Gu Yun's principles, he will generally agree.

"But this time, unfortunately, we are not qualified either."

Yu Yao shook his head and said, "Unless Xiao Kong and I go to Takamagahara and accept the test of the Great God, we will never be able to inherit the huge Inari God worship in the human world, as well as this land of gods with which we have long had a deep connection."

If Iijima Tamaki is a wealthy woman among humans, then Uka no Mitama is definitely a wealthy woman among gods.

After all, he is the deity with the most shrines in Japan.

The power of faith is equivalent to currency in the divine realm.

Over the course of a thousand years, one can only imagine how much wealth Uka no Mitama had accumulated.

That's an astronomical sum of money that would keep flowing into her account even after she died!

"you mean…"

Gu Yun suddenly realized something: "Should I awaken Miketsu here?"

The scroll possesses the power to directly bestow divine status and divinity upon shikigami.

Kūgen and Gyokuyō are just Misaki Inari, not the real Uka no Mitama, because the scroll was never modified in that direction from the beginning.

However, Miketsuhime is different; she is a proper Japanese deity.

Once the awakening mission is completed, Gu Yun is 100% certain that Miketsu will be able to replace the no-longer-existing Uka no Mitama, inherit all the Inari shrines in Japan, and that immense faith.

"Master, you need three spirit foxes to awaken Miketsu."

The shikigami of the Gu Yun family already knew about this.

For the past four years, all the shikigami have been keeping an eye out, trying to find a fox spirit that meets his criteria.

Unfortunately, the spirit fox required for the mission was not an ordinary spirit fox, but a super spirit fox with a cultivation level of at least 2000 years.

To be honest, Gu Yun was incredibly lucky to have met Yu Yao and Kong Huan.

Even Gu Yun was having a headache trying to find another great spirit fox of the same level.

"Master, this is the divine realm of another Miketsu!"

Yu Yao said, "We may not have other things here, but spirit foxes, we can have as many as we want."

Who is the largest fox spirit supplier in Japan?

I, Miketsu, consider myself second to none; who dares to challenge me for first place!

The flower pavilion they were heading to was nothing short of a large fox den.

Moreover, even if they can't find this flower pavilion, they can go somewhere else.

Gu Yun didn't believe that even if they turned the entire sacred land of Yujia no Mitama God upside down, they still wouldn't find a single great spirit fox strong enough to awaken Miketsu.

"Besides, even if you don't find the Great Spirit Fox in the end, you can still get a large number of fluffy creatures, right?"

As he said this, Yu Yao used his fox demon charm technique, which was rare for him.

Although it was useless to Gu Yun, it still hit a nerve with Gu Yun.

Gu Yun's pursuit of fluffy textures has never ceased.

Even now, Gu Yun still occasionally seeks out Yu Yao, Kong Huan, or Xiao Bai to have a go at it.

Occasionally, Gu Yun even preyed on three-tailed foxes.

Thanks to Gu Yun's skill, the three-tailed fox, who usually had the air of a big sister, was finally left with an embarrassing dark history. She was bullied by Gu Yun and revealed her true form, then howled uncontrollably.

Yes, the years spent petting foxes were definitely the happiest time of Gu Yun's life.

However, for the fox spirits and fox demons, being petted was comfortable, but it was so comfortable that they couldn't stand it anymore.

The thought of someone with lifeless eyes, sticking out their tongue, and limp all over is embarrassing.

It seems we still need to find some more compatriots to share the burden of Gu Yun's attacks.

"Young man in front, could you please wait a moment?"

Just then, Gu Yun and the others, who were walking on the forest path, heard a call coming from behind them.

"who!"

White Wolf and Inugami moved the fastest, taking their positions one after the other to block Gu Yun's path.

The former gripped the longbow tightly, while his other hand had already reached into the quiver behind his back.

Inugami was not letting his guard down. He had already placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and was holding his breath. He would launch a slash without mercy at the slightest disturbance.

"Wow~~"

A cute little fox girl was startled by the two's actions and quickly hid behind the woman.

"Oh dear, everyone, please don't be so nervous."

The woman, dressed as a Japanese nun—wearing black clothes and a white headscarf—was standing there smiling, saying, "You scared my child!"

The nun had long, snow-white hair and gentle, red eyes, like a white lotus blooming from the mud.

Having witnessed suffering, I can empathize with it.

Because I feel pain, I am compassionate.

“I meant no harm, but I was just suddenly struck by that noble light,” the nun’s voice was very pleasant, with a comforting feeling that warmed my heart. “Out of curiosity, I called you all over. If I have offended you, I apologize.”

"what?"

Gu Yun was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the other party to be able to see his aura.

It should be noted that Gu Yun's spiritual vision technique is now extremely advanced, and he has complete control over the power of the aura.

Just like other pedestrians around, none of them noticed anything unusual about Gu Yun and his group, instead treating them as ordinary citizens of the divine kingdom.

But Gu Yun had a feeling that the woman in front of him had seen through his identity.

"You are…"

Gu Yun activated his spiritual vision technique and carefully examined the woman before him.

The young and beautiful nun exuded an extremely holy aura, a radiance that only those who have achieved perfect spiritual cultivation can possess.

The other person was a warlock, just like me, and an extremely powerful one at that.

In terms of strength, she is definitely not inferior to Natsume Reiko in her current state.

“My name is Yaobikuni.”

"Aha?"

Almost the instant Gu Yun was surprised, the originally calm scroll immediately burst into golden light.

[Hidden spirit 'Yabikuni' information obtained]

【Yabikhuni】

Awakening method: Use the Divine Art to nurture your destined spirit using the Spirit Core as a cradle.

"Hey?"

Gu Yun was quite surprised, not only by the identity of the beautiful nun before him, but also by the information on the scroll: 'How did Yaobikuni become a spirit tamer? Speaking of spirit tamers, aren't they supposed to be like dragons or peacocks from games?'

Moreover, using the spirit as a breeding ground and performing the spirit control technique, isn't that just letting Gu Yun create a natal shikigami?

No, that's not the case.
