Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"As expected, this is a perfect spirit."

Uesugi's face lit up with even greater joy, seemingly unconcerned about the consequences of revealing her real name, and exclaimed excitedly, "You are the one we have been waiting for for countless years!"

"My long-cherished wish, which I've waited twelve days for!"

Chapter 120 Ascending to the Pinnacle

Uesugi's excitement was genuine.

Gu Yun, upon receiving her newly acquired real name, felt a slight resonance with this: 'Is it really that happy?'

However, Gu Yun could not understand what she meant by "long-cherished wish".

Is the twelve-day wish for myself?

Because of the perfect spiritual quality he possesses?

"Come in and have a seat, Miss Military Goddess."

Regardless of the circumstances, Gu Yun had no reason to make guests stand outside when they came to visit.

Gu Yun has already learned about Uesugi's sister's identity. She is the first generation of Bishamonten, who descended from heaven to become a human and took the form of Uesugi Kenshin, a military commander during the Sengoku period of Japan.

However, as far as Gu Yun knows, Uesugi Kenshin in this world seems to be a man.

Then look at the valiant, white-haired older sister before me, who seems like a Valkyrie.

'As expected, gender-bending is everywhere.'

In the world of anime and manga, nothing is off-limits to being personified as a girl, and Gu Yun felt she needed to get used to it beforehand.

Thank you for your invitation.

Although Uesugi was an ancient person, she lived for four hundred years and did not go to the underworld to take her turn until the early 20th century.

Uesugi-nee knows far more about the human world and humanity than the other twelve.

Following Gu Yun into the Iijima residence, the two arrived at the reception room.

"Please use."

The three-tailed fox, along with the boy and girl, prepared tea and snacks. Uesugi thanked them, then picked up her teacup and took a sip: "It's been a long time since I've had tea from the human world. It makes me nostalgic."

Uesugi-neechan was out of touch with modern society and it took her four years to adapt.

These past few years, I've been running around, constantly observing many problems in the world. The level of hard work I've put in can be described as working from dawn till dusk.

Uesugi-neechan: Although I don't need to eat or sleep.

"As long as you like it."

Gu Yun did not act recklessly just because he had obtained the other party's real name.

Uesugi-neechan did gain Tanigumo's trust, but she also left him completely bewildered, and he remains confused to this day.

Gu Yun asked Yuzhanjin several times, but she couldn't say anything.

The World Will and the Twelve Heavenly Gods of War are more like colleagues. Miketsu doesn't know their purpose, let alone care about these guardians with heaven-defying combat power.

Therefore, Uesugi-neechan herself needs to explain what exactly happened.

However, given Gu Yun's status, he probably wouldn't refuse if it were to contribute to protecting humanity.

This world is his hometown.

It's like the relationship between a tenant and a landlord.

Since Gu Yun lives in the real world, it is only right that he pays some rent.

"I apologize for the sudden visit."

Uesugi-nee smoothed a strand of hair that fell beside her cheek and smiled gently: "Gu Yun, may I call you that?"

"Ah."

Gu Yun nodded: "You said I am the long-cherished wish of the twelve days, why do you say that?"

"What we call our long-cherished wish is the meaning of our existence and our mission."

Uesugi-nee said, "The Twelve Days is actually an ancient plan, the purpose of which is to eradicate Hiruko-gami and protect the era and world on which we depend for survival."

"Eradication, Hirudo God?"

Gu Yun didn't need to know anything else; this one thing alone was enough to shock him.

The War God of the Twelve Days wanted to destroy all Hiruko Gods.

But is that even possible?

Hiruko-sama is the remnant of a god, a product of the era's jealousy and resentment towards the present.

Theoretically speaking, as long as everything is in order and the times progress, the Hiruko gods cannot be eliminated. They will continue to be reborn, and cannot be killed or eradicated.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a bit of an exaggeration."

Gu Yun privately said to Miketsu, "Are all twelve of them this fierce? Are they planning a counterattack against Hiruko-gami, and that's why they're trying to recruit me?"

'Probably not.'

Miketsu knew very well how terrifying Hiruko-sama was; she was someone even she had to avoid.

The Twelve Heavens are indeed very strong, but they can counterattack Hiruko-gami.

"I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly."

Uesugi noticed the confusion in Gu Yun's eyes and quickly explained that the Twelve-Day Plan was not a direct declaration of war against Hiruko.

That is impossible!

How could the mere existing gods possibly match the sum total of all history from ancient times to the present?

"Gu Yun, have you ever seen Hiruko-sama?"

"I met you once."

That was the closest Gu Yun ever came to death.

If it weren't for Gu Yun's quick reaction and the protection of the other shore flower, Gu Yun would likely have been severely injured.

It was for this reason that Hiruko left a considerable psychological scar on Tanigumo.

Gu Yun wasn't really afraid; he simply couldn't find a reason to be an enemy of Hiruko-shin, nor did he want to provoke these irrational, world-destroying monsters.

Beating the leech god is completely pointless and brings no benefit whatsoever.

The so-called obstacle to Hiruko-sama's progress.

However, the time it would take for Hiruko to take a step forward was not just a day or two, but hundreds or even thousands of years.

For Gu Yun, the thought of what would happen after such a long period of time was no different from the worry of someone who had nothing to worry about.

'Refuse it.'

Gu Yun had thought it through clearly; there was no way he would go with Uesugi-neechan to fight Hiruko-gami.

As for the real name, it hasn't been engraved in the Book of Favors yet, and Gu Yun hasn't absorbed it either, so we can just return it to her later.

Through their brief encounter, Gu Yun discovered that Uesugi-neechan had a very gentle personality, completely unlike the domineering nature of the Water Queen.

It was their first meeting, and Gu Yun was a little overly nervous.

After a conversation, Gu Yun realized that Uesugi-neechan was not his enemy.

"You think I am the 12-day dream, because of my perfect spiritual character, right?"

Now that Uesugi-neechan has already seen through his perfect spirit, Gu Yun no longer needs to hide it.

"Speaking of which, are perfect spirit attributes really that rare?"

Gu Yun: "Besides me, who else has the perfect spiritual rank?"

Gu Yun wasn't quite sure what his perfect spiritual rank actually represented.

Both Miketsu and Uesugi-nee in front of them were incredulous at Gu Yun's words, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

"Lord Jingshi, didn't you explain the significance of a perfect spiritual identity to this child?"

Uesugi-nee was taken aback. She was somewhat surprised that Gu Yun didn't know what a miraculous existence the Perfect Spirit Rank was.

Especially since Miketsu was right next to him, there was no reason for it.

"Don't you know either?"

Uesugi-neechan noticed that Miketsu also looked confused, and was speechless.

"Forehead…"

In fact, even Miketsu wasn't quite sure.

She is indeed the will of the world, but only the will of purification.

Miketsu was unaware of the affairs of other worlds.

In that confused and ignorant state, she wouldn't take the initiative to learn or explore anything.

Therefore, unless someone discussed the Twelve Heavens and the Perfect Spirit Rank in the Pure World, Miketsu wouldn't know about these things.

"No one has ever said these things during the purification process."

"The twelve guardians of the Pure World throughout history," Uesugi-nee asked incredulously, "none of them ever mentioned it to you?"

"Absolutely not."

All Miketsu knew was that the perfect spirit had an extreme attraction for her.

Of course, a woman should not serve two husbands.

This attraction is limited to the first person; if another person comes along, Miketsu won't pay any attention.

"Sigh!"

Miketsu then realized, "Now that you mention it, it does seem very rare. A perfect spirit has never appeared in my world."

Gu Yun is the first person that Miketsuhime feels so close to.

In any case, in Miketsu's memory, Gu Yun was the only one like never before.
