Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"It's not just about purifying the world."

Uesugi rubbed her forehead, then said to Gu Yun and Miketsu, "Never in the entire world, since ancient times, has there ever been a perfect spirit!"

"You are unique."

Why was Uesugi so excited? Because in her mind, the perfect spirit was something that only existed in theory.

It's being brought up again and again, and it's being discussed again and again.

But whether it exists or not, no one can be sure.

Even the most powerful of the twelve Heavens only gave Uesugi-nee a reply of 'wait patiently'.

Until four years ago, Gu Yun left behind his awe-inspiring presence in the underworld.

In this respect, Shui Tianhou is actually quite righteous.

Four years have passed, and Shui Tian has yet to discover the aura emanating from Gu Yun in Shui Tianhou's hand, nor has he detected the existence of the Perfect Spirit Rank.

Of course, according to Gu Yun's later understanding, he discovered that Shui Tianhou was not Shui Tian's wife, just as the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were not husband and wife, but were gods designed for the sake of symmetry.

However, Shui Tianhou and Shui Tian do indeed have an extremely close relationship.

"When I first came into contact with it, I was a little unsure."

“Until just now,” Uesugi smiled slightly, “you took my real name.”

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously wondered if there might be something wrong with this real name.

As far as Gu Yun knew, there was no magic or trap in this world that could be used to manipulate one's real name.

"I want to control the true names of beings such as demons and gods."

Uesugi-neechan: "The required spirit level has a certain lower limit!"

Gu Yun naturally knew about this.

The practice of binding one's real name is not something that anyone can do; it has certain prerequisites.

Among them, those with a spirit level below 50 are not subject to the requirement of True Name Binding.

In other words, even an ordinary person can command a monster if they obtain its true name.

However, if the other party's spiritual level exceeds 50, then they possess divine status.

Mortals cannot command gods, even if they obtain the god's true name.

Only those with spiritual abilities can do this.

The minimum requirement is someone like Tamaki Iijima or Uncle Doma, who possess the ability to see ghosts.

This need for spiritual power continues until you reach level 70.

Above that, only the living gods can command others through their true names.

This means that if you want to control the Spider Lily in the Nightfall state or the Flower and Bird Scroll in the World-Painting state through your true name, you yourself need to become a living god, that is, have a spirit level of 50 or more.

As the spirit of ecology and the embodiment of nature, every word and action of theirs has a tremendous impact.

How can non-gods control their will?

Is your spiritual level very high?

Gu Yun couldn't understand Uesugi's situation, so he asked.

"Like Lord Jingshi, above 85."

"Sigh~~"

Gu Yun knew that Uesugi-neechan was very strong, but he never expected that she would actually possess a powerful spiritual essence comparable to the will of the world.

"That's not right!"

Gu Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Izanagi is only 80!"

In Japan, the father and mother gods each have only 80 points of spiritual power, which is equivalent to the natural embodiment of a world.

But the Uesugi sister in front of me is just a human descended from heaven by Bishamonten. How can she possess such a level of spiritual power?

"I sensed that person's aura earlier, so you were the one fighting in the mortal realm back then, Gu Yun?"

Uesugi-nee thought of the battle of wits that had taken place not long ago.

Unfortunately, by the time she wanted to intervene, Gu Yun and Qin Zi had already finished their battle, and their auras had vanished without a trace.

The fact that Uesugi-nee was able to investigate Gu Yun and choose to visit him today was not due to magic or perception.

Uesugi-nee has been preparing for this meeting for four whole years.

She has been gathering intelligence and investigating potential candidates with perfect spiritual qualities for the past four years.

It wasn't until recently that Uesugi-nee confirmed the identity of the person with the perfect spiritual status—Iijima Tanigumo.

When the two met for the first time, Uesugi-nee found that she couldn't see through Tanigumo, and could only see his imposing presence that even she found captivating.

With a spirit level of 85, she possesses earth-shattering power.

The aura that could move even her speaks volumes.

“Spiritual character is innate and can rarely be changed through acquired means.”

"And the higher the spiritual level, the more troublesome this kind of improvement becomes."

Uesugi explained to Gu Yun, "But for us gods, there is a special way to improve our spiritual rank."

"Descended from heaven to become human?"

Gu Yun immediately realized what was happening.

"Not bad!"

Since we are born from heaven, isn't being born as a human being a rebirth?

Similarly, human reincarnation, being born from the mother's womb, is also considered 'rebirth'.

This is why psychic abilities can appear randomly in children.

"However, the risks are very high."

To descend from heaven to become human is to wager one's own divinity, divine power, and everything else.

Abandon them, retain only yourself, and become human.

"With only a few decades left to live, if one cannot break through the shackles as a mortal and ascend to godhood."

"Or be killed by someone else in the process."

Those who descended from heaven to become human are truly human, and can kill humans using any means possible.

Once a god dies, even if the god who descended to earth as a human falls, he will completely disappear.

Humans die and their souls remain, but when gods die, nothing remains.

Their past will become nourishment for Hiruko-gami, and like corpses, will give birth to new Hiruko-gami.

Therefore, the cost of sending humans from heaven is very high, and the risks are even more outrageous.

“The greater the price to bet, the greater the improvement you will receive once you break through and surpass what you’ve achieved,” said Uesugi.

Izanagi never descended from heaven to become a human; his spiritual nature remained constant.

Uesugi's original spirit level was only in the early 60s.

But after she descended to earth as a human, she went through endless trials and tribulations, which is how she gained her current great power.

To live in the face of death, to rebuild from destruction.

This is the secret to the power of the Twelve Days!

“However, even if every god knows this method,” Uesugi-nee took a sip of tea, “how many are actually capable of doing it, and willing to do it?”

For Izanagi, his lifespan was incredibly long.

They're betting everything, gambling on the next few decades.

All that is needed is greater strength, and a more resilient mind and will.

What's the point of doing this?

"What about humans?"

Gu Yun asked, "Is it also possible to improve one's spiritual level through continuous reincarnation?"

"Um"

Uesugi-neechan had lived in the afterlife before, so she knew a lot of secrets about reincarnation: "Human spiritual rank changes only below 50, and cannot go higher."

"No matter how many times a mortal is reincarnated, he can never become a living god."

If you want to continue improving after reaching level 50, you'll have to face even greater challenges.

This test is a twelve-day trial!

Miyako's spiritual level has risen from 50 (Current Human God) to 60 because she has passed the Water Heaven Trial.

You're clearly the Queen of Water?

The deity with whom the ancestors of the Mitsuchi family could make a deal was the Water Deity of the Twelve Heavens.

Miyako was supposed to die from the curse, and the lineage of the Mitsuchi family would have ended thereafter.

However, Gu Yun intervened, allowing Miyako to encounter a 'benefactor' who broke the deadlock.

"Given my spiritual level, anyone who wants to accept my real name would need a spiritual level of at least 70."

Moreover, when one's spirit level exceeds 80, mere words of power can no longer shake the power of beings like Uesugi-neechan.

Gu Yun needs to use his spiritual vision technique to raise his own rank to over 60, reaching the level of the Incarnation Law, and only in that state can he give commands to truly make Uesugi-nee obey.

Don't think this is easy.

Spirituality 60 and position 60 are two completely different concepts.

With 50 spirit points, one possesses limitless magical power; with 60 spirit points, one's words become law.
