Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

The problem is that Uka no Mitama has already fallen.

Do you think gods can die?

Gods generally do not die.

Nature gods have their symbolic objects, such as mountains, rivers, and lakes.

So as long as these things exist, God can be reborn and resurrected again and again.

Although they will pay a price, such as losing most of their power, at least they are still alive.

Similarly, gods born from faith will continue to be reborn as long as there are people who believe in them.

But all of this has one prerequisite: 'Hiruko-gami'.

Hiruko-gami is the natural enemy of the gods.

Once swallowed by Hiruko-gami, what disappears is no longer the god, but the divine essence itself.

For example, the God of Mount Tai (not the Lord of Mount Tai) was devoured by the Hiruko God.

Although Mount Tai still stands, the mountain god is completely dead.

The shikigami of the Gu Yun family don't really need faith, because the spider lily is the embodiment of the ecology of the underworld, and the Eisho Kacho Scroll is part of the ecology of the cleansing world.

As long as the Otherworld and the Pure World exist, the two women will not be completely killed except by Hiruko-gami.

As for faith...

If one day even the afterlife and the Pure Land are destroyed, will humanity still exist?

If humanity itself no longer exists, what use is mere faith?

Therefore, for the ecological and nature gods who hold extremely high positions, human faith is of little use.

"More than four hundred years ago, the deity was invited to boost the morale of the gods in the heavens."

The proprietress revealed the cause of death of the god that her predecessors had told her: "Unfortunately, he was attacked by Hiruko-gami afterward."

Uka no Mitama no Kami is not good at fighting. She is a god in charge of logistics in the heavenly realm. Her usual job is to boost morale and provide healing for other gods.

However, due to an accident, Uka no Mitama God fell at the hands of Hiruko God.

"Can you really revive Lady Miketsu?"

The proprietress only had a vague understanding of Hiruko-gami, knowing only that it was the nemesis of gods, extremely terrifying, and that even the previous generation of Uka no Mitama-gami had been devoured by it.

'God is immortal; as long as what He symbolizes or the faith remains, He can be resurrected indefinitely.'

'But if the manner of death is related to Hiruko-gami, then the god will die completely.'

'Not only that, but even the divine essence will be solidified, preventing the birth of new deities of the same kind.'

Hiruko no Gami truly lived up to his reputation as someone who could instill fear in Gu Yun back then, and even now, Gu Yun doesn't want to confront him head-on.

"That's exactly why I've come."

The Mikoto of the Gu Yun family is definitely not the former Uka no Mitama, nor is she the reincarnation of the other party.

However, there is some connection between the two.

For example, Miketsu will inherit some of the memories of her predecessors, as well as the immense power of faith accumulated over the years.

Therefore, for the proprietress, Miketsu is not much different from the former Uka no Mitama, as she is also an Inari deity she needs to serve.

"Xiaoyou, come here."

Because of Gu Yun's intervention, You did not become a maid at Konohana-tei.

The nun noticed Gu Yun's affection for Xiao You and felt that the child might have a brighter future if she could stay by Gu Yun's side.

Of course, this is only one possibility.

If Gu Yun does not intend to accept Xiao You, the nun will continue with the previous arrangement and entrust the child to the proprietress, leaving her at the flower pavilion.

"Hey?"

Xiao You was a little flustered when she was called out, but after seeing Gu Yun's gentle smile, the little fox girl mustered up her courage and walked up to him.

"Do you wish to become my divine messenger?"

"God's messenger!"

Xiaoyou isn't completely ignorant.

When she was young, she was quite feisty and outgoing. She once said, when she was looked down upon, "If I could become a fox spirit, I wouldn't be looked down upon anymore."

Therefore, Xiaoyou knew what it meant to become a divine messenger, a fortune that other foxes could only dream of.

"I, I do."

Without entering this flower pavilion, Xiaoyou's connection with this place has not yet been formed.

Now that Gu Yun has taken the initiative, the little fox girl naturally has no reason to refuse.

Moreover, Gu Yun came here specifically to take over this flower pavilion.

Even after becoming Gu Yun's fox, Xiao You will still live here and will not lose this wonderful memory because of Gu Yun.

"Well then, from now on, you are my messenger."

"This is a blessing for you, please accept it."

Having made up a random excuse for the inheritance of the shikigami's power, Gu Yun raised his finger and gently touched Xiaoyou's brow, beginning to sign a contract with her.

"Don't resist."

"Ah."

The little fox girl closed her eyes and obediently responded.

Xiaoyou could sense Gu Yun's kindness and had no intention of resisting.

On a voluntary basis, the Hundred Demons Scroll quickly included the child in its collection.

Gu Yun did not ask for Xiao You's real name, because the scroll itself was more prestigious than a real name.

"From now on, let me protect you."

Being inscribed on the scroll means that Xiaoyou has completely become Guyun's fox, and with it comes a responsibility.

[Discovering the Spirit Fox, Beginning the 'Osaka Inari' Divine Service Inheritance]

If Miketsu is the true Inari deity, then Kugen and Gyokuyo are her subordinates, representing Inari deities who also possess immense divine power.

Below Inari is Misaki Inari, and below that are the Inari God's messengers and helper, Zenko.

In terms of spirit level, Konghuan and Yuyao have a spirit level of 60 or higher, Yuxian Inari has 50, while Inari God Messenger only has 40.

The three groups are clearly distinguished by their hierarchical order and superiority.

This flower pavilion is located in the divine realm, the fourth dimension of the Pure Land.

Logically speaking, one must have a spirit level of 40 or higher to reach this place.

This is not the case.

Like a soul being guided, Xiaoyou and the ordinary spirit foxes are able to live here entirely thanks to the support of the little benevolent gods.

Just like a skyscraper, you're standing on the 40th floor, having reached that height.

Reaching the 40th floor doesn't mean you can hover there in mid-air.

Once you lose your footing, you will immediately fall from a great height and will have no way to stay there on your own.

"This is…"

The nun kneeling nearby noticed Xiaoyou's change: "Xiaoyou, have you been granted divinity?"

This child was originally just an ordinary little fox spirit, the kind that had cultivated for no more than 50 years.

She doesn't know magic or have much spiritual power; she's the kind of little monster who, if placed in the human world, could be easily beaten up by an ordinary person.

But now, in just a moment, Xiaoyou's spiritual power has experienced an unimaginable surge.

From a lowly demon, he progressed to a lower-ranking demon, then to a middle-ranking demon…

"Superior spiritual power!"

The proprietress looked on incredulously: "This is... a blessing from the gods?"

You should know that even she, who has cultivated for more than 500 years, has only barely reached this level.

But what about Xiaoyou?

Gu Yun's casual gesture was more valuable than a lifetime of hard work.

"I... I think I know something."

Xiaoyou stood up, and her appearance had changed.

Although she was still the same fox girl, with a petite body and a youthful face, her clothing, appearance, and even her temperament had undergone a complete transformation.

Especially the Heavenly Feather Robe draped over her shoulders, which is the dividing line between mortals and gods, representing Xiaoyou's sublimation from the mud and her stepping into a higher level of life.

"Oh, not bad."

Gu Yun opened the scroll and began to examine Xiao You's attributes: "Let me see your power."
