Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Yubaba and Zeniba are the guardians of this area. Together, they take care of the gods who come to this place and the souls who complete their final journey.

"The age in the next life will not be very old, only about two thousand years old."

Long ago, the concept of reincarnation did not exist for the dead, and gods did not need an afterlife to cleanse themselves of impurities.

"In ancient times, the gods still existed."

Miketsu explained to Tanigumo, "The gods reside in the divine realm on the fifth level, and also possess land on my fourth level."

“They established a kingdom of God in the world for believers to dwell in.”

This is what people often refer to as the Pure Land or Heaven, and what the Japanese call becoming a Buddha.

"The function of the Yellow Springs is mainly to enlighten plants and animals that lack intelligence."

This is a very complicated process, and even Mikoto herself couldn't explain it in detail. She only told Gu Yun that the next life is a product of global integration.

"About a thousand years ago, civilizations clashed, and gods from different pantheons began to clash."

This led to increasingly greater conflicts between the gods.

And to prevent bad outcomes, they are born in the next life.

It is a crack between civilizations, a buffer zone between different pantheons, and also a gateway for different countries in the supernatural world.

In short, although both are in the fifth level of the divine realm, the gods of Japan and the gods of the West will never meet, nor can they ever meet.

The afterlife is like a bridge; only through this bridge can the gods move among themselves.

Similarly, the fusion and influence of cultures will also be directly reflected in the next life.

"So, the purpose of Yubaba's seal," Gu Yun said, "is to open this door?"

Looking at the afterlife, there are traditional Japanese buildings and services, but also all sorts of Western products.

This place is just like Japan a hundred years ago, when its gates were blasted open by artillery fire.

But it seems that development has stalled, and there has been no further progress.

“Opening the gate to the afterlife will allow gods from other places to come here.”

Although the influence of Hiruko caused heavy casualties among the gods all over the world, especially in some large countries such as Egypt, Greece and China, they were almost completely wiped out.

"Total annihilation?"

"Ah."

Mikoto said, "The gods of this ancient land are far more powerful than the gods of Japan itself."

However, it was precisely because of their power that they became the pantheon that suffered the most severe losses during the Hiruko God Disaster.

After most of the tall ones died, the short ones also faced a devastating blow.

At present, the situation of the Japanese pantheon is precarious.

Of the seven generations of gods, few remain. Among the three noble sons, Susanoo has perished, and Tsukuyomi is severely injured. Only Amaterasu is still holding on.

Chapter 138 Suzuka Gozen and Senhime

"can."

After learning about the situation in the Shindai region of Japan from Miketsu, Tanigumo made a request to Yubaba: "But you have to guarantee that nothing will happen to the Ogino family."

"This is natural."

Yubaba doesn't care about the three mortals; their value lies solely in finding an opportunity to get Haku to hand over the seal.

However, with the intervention of a powerful human sorcerer like Gu Yun, there might be an even simpler solution.

"It's a word."

After Gu Yun finished speaking, he got up and left, returning to the room where Qian Xun was.

He told Chihiro about his deal with Yubaba: "I will go and retrieve the seal, and exchange it with Yubaba for your freedom."

"Won't this be dangerous?"

"will not."

Gu Yun patted Qianxun's head and laughed, "Well, I'm pretty good at it."

“To make an analogy,” Gu Yun said, pointing to himself, “I should be the strongest exorcist in Japan.”

The strongest exorcist!

Chihiro's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief: "Sigaoyi!"

Gu Yunjun not only comes from a Japanese 'zaibatsu' family, but he is also handsome, has a good temper, and is the top student in the entire school. Now, he can even easily solve supernatural events.

Almighty!

Gu Yun's already high status in Qian Xun's mind was elevated once again.

Yes, it's gotten to the point where even when the girl raises her head to its highest point, she still can't see Gu Yun's back.

"Just stay here and experience life."

Gu Yun thought it would be good for Chihiro to stay at the bathhouse, as she could get some training there.

"If you're scared, just treat this as a job."

It's rare for junior high school students to have opportunities to work, but Chihiro was able to try it early, even in a place like a bathhouse.

This is a unique experience that many people will never have in their lifetime.

"Ok!"

With Gu Yun supporting her, Qianxun became much bolder.

"So…"

After arranging things for Chihiro, Gu Yun focused his attention on finding Haku.

Where did Bai Long go, and what is his current situation?

Yubaba says that the Ogino family came into this world because of the thief who stole the seal, which is clearly referring to Haku.

"Did the white dragon summon his family members from his previous life intentionally or accidentally?"

“Bhikkhuni”.

Gu Yun summoned his spirit-summoning diviner: "Can you find the location of the White Dragon?"

"Let me try."

Divination is not just about prophecy, but also about calculation and deduction.

Yaobikuni's divination ability can be described as 'narrowly omniscient' in a certain sense. As long as she uses this skill, she can know everything she wants to know.

The difference lies only in whether the information is complete or partial, detailed or vague.

However, this depends on the strength of the person being divined.

If the other party were someone like Old Zasa, who was at the sixth level of the Daoist hierarchy, the current Bhikkhuni would not be able to obtain much information, and it would be very difficult for her to even learn his real name.

However, the white dragon is not strong; at most, it is only at the level of a benevolent god.

True gods, with a spiritual level of 50 or higher, are not beings that humans can easily reincarnate into.

"I saw."

Soon, Yaobikuni divined the location of the white dragon.

Gu Yun, who sensed the spirit in sync, immediately saw a white divine dragon curled up in a ball in a pitch-black world, seemingly unconscious.

"What is this place?"

"I don't know."

Yaobikuni shook her head, and Gu Yun smacked his lips: "Well, it doesn't matter. Now that we know the location, I'll just use the Transcendental Technique to get there."

So Gu Yun didn't hesitate and stepped out of the bathhouse, instantly entering the alternate dimension where Bai Long was.

This is still the afterlife.

But the afterlife itself is vast, containing countless gaps in the timeline.

These gaps are like air bubbles in glass, each bubble representing a different dimension.

[Obtain new clues about the shikigami 'Suzuka Gozen']

【Suzuka Gozen】

Awakening Requirements: Contact with five dragon-shaped deities and monsters (Completed)

[Obtained a clue to the new 'Spirit Master - Divine Dragon']

Unlock Requirements: Possess a shikigami imbued with the attributes of a dragon god, and transform it into a Divine Dragon.

Convertible Shikigami: Suzuka Gozen

"Yes, the result was expected."

Gu Yun hadn't forgotten Suzuka Gozen's need to be awakened: a god or yokai in the form of five dragons.

He had already completed 80% of the awakening task, and only the last step was needed to qualify him to awaken Suzuka Gozen.

To Gu Yun's surprise, after completing Suzuka Gozen's mission, she would actually be linked with a new spirit.

"A shikigami that can convert the attributes of the dragon god."

"Speaking of dragons, it seems that only Ichimokuren is related to them in the scroll."

Besides, Suzuka Gozen and Senhime are more like mermaid variants than dragons.

So these two sisters from the Sea of ​​Immortality are actually mermaids, not dragon girls.

However, the scroll clearly assumes that Suzuka Gozen possesses the attribute of a 'dragon,' otherwise it wouldn't have specifically requested five dragons in the awakening requirements.

"Perhaps it was because of this clue that my Suzuka Gozen possessed a stronger dragon attribute, to the point that she was able to merge with the divine dragon in the spirit realm."

Suzuka Gozen's summons is not urgent for Taniguchi; he can awaken her at any time.

The spirits are bound to Gu Yun himself, and their strength is not limited by the ecological spirits, natural avatars, or the will of the world. The stronger Gu Yun is, the stronger they become.

Just like Yaobikuni and Shiro, their current strength may not be as good as Miketsuhime's.
