Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

But this is only for now.

As for the future, Yubaba can't guarantee what will happen to her future self; maybe she'll have another chance then.

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Yun shook his head indifferently, not taking the seal to heart.

Suzuka has fundamentally marked the two mothers-in-law, so they no longer have that much authority.

While Yubaba can indeed still manage the bathhouse with the seal, Suzuka Gozen would immediately punish her for anything more serious that she dares to do.

Then, Gu Yun won't hold back like he did this time.

Afterwards, Gu Yun introduced Qian Xun to Granny Qian.

Granny Qian is indeed a kind old woman, quite different from Granny Yu. She is very happy that Chihiro has become her apprentice.

"From now on, I'll be troubling you, Grandma."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will guide this child well."

Granny Qian likes innocent and kind young girls, and such people are very rare in the corrupted afterlife.

"Hello, Mother-in-law."

Chihiro greeted her politely, surprised that there was someone in the world who looked exactly like Granny Qian.

Of course, they only look the same.

The two people gave Chihiro completely different feelings. Being with Granny Yubaba was like being with a kind old lady, and the girl felt very safe and secure.

"I will have Suzuka open a passage for you to travel to and from this world."

Gu Yun felt that Chihiro had a deeper connection with the afterlife, and that she could become a spirit girl, specifically in charge of this field.

With the development of the information age, the gap to the afterlife may very well reappear in the human world.

In this way, there will always be a group of people who are trapped in the afterlife, bound by the rules.

Suzuka Gozen can open back doors for people, but she herself symbolizes the rules of the afterlife; she is a maintainer, not a destroyer.

Once or twice is fine, but dozens or hundreds of times would be very troublesome for Suzuka Gozen.

It's not that it's impossible, and there are no side effects.

But just like when a human dies, their soul goes to the underworld. Can Gu Yun arbitrarily resurrect the dead?

Reincarnation is a rule, and the disappearance of the spirit in the next life is also a rule.

Existence itself has meaning.

Gu Yun should not use human will to deny all humans who enter the afterlife.

Therefore, a special liaison is essential.

Chihiro is human, yet she has a connection to the afterlife, allowing her to find those who have vanished into the spirit world and offer them help.

In this way, the rules of the afterlife will begin to adapt and change, and the humans saved by Spirited Away will be regarded as a supplement to its own rules.

Gu Yun didn't tell Qian Xun about these plans; he didn't want the girl to feel pressured.

However, this matter will benefit Chihiro and her next life.

The girl who maintains the balance between the two worlds will gain favor from both the human world and the afterlife. In the future, she may have the opportunity to be deified and become a soul-reaping messenger similar to the Yellow Springs.

"In addition, you also need to help me keep an eye on this place."

Gu Yun gave Chihiro a special right: to act as his eyes and restrain Yubaba, preventing her from causing further mischief.

"this…"

Granny Yu gritted her teeth inwardly. She never expected that a mere human girl would become someone she dared not provoke.

But knowing how terrifying Gu Yun was, how could Granny Tang dare to refuse?

Watching this scene, Iijima Tamaki nodded to herself, feeling that her son's approach was not problematic.

Yubaba has managed the bathhouse for so many years, and her importance to it is self-evident.

Removing Yubaba from her position would be tantamount to the collapse of the bathhouse.

You should use talented people, but not trust them. Instead, you should intimidate them so that they dare not harbor any disloyal thoughts.

Iijima Tamaki was certain that Gu Yun's claim of Chihiro being the supervisor was a lie.

What ability does a little human girl have to fight against the cunning and experienced Yubaba? She'd probably be completely suppressed by the old witch, sold out, and might even end up counting money for Yubaba.

Therefore, the real informant was not Chihiro, but someone else.

As for who it was, Tamaki Iijima couldn't guess, nor was there any need to guess.

With those two eyes, one open and one hidden, Yubaba is more than enough to keep herself in line.

If she truly repents, Gu Yun will not mistreat those who follow him.

Otherwise, Gu Yun would not give someone two chances.

When her son got angry, his authority was so great that even a domineering female CEO like Tamaki Iijima had to bow her head obediently.

He just doesn't want to bully the weak, but that doesn't mean he won't.

"Mother."

Gu Yun resolved the issues concerning Chihiro and the bathhouse, thus concluding his journey to the afterlife.

He greeted Iijima Tamaki and the others, explaining that he had an appointment and had to leave first.

'It's my turn.'

The old sheep ate his food, knowing that Gu Yun was coming to find him: 'Young man, you're really in a hurry.'

However, he doesn't dislike such juniors.

His youthful vigor and confidence filled this old man, who was just waiting to die, with a mixture of admiration and envy.

"Suzuka the Boss, Miketsu."

Gu Yun began to inform his shikigami that his two strongest warriors must be brought along, followed by his summoned spirits: "Yabo and Shiro."

"Night Sea (Higanbana), Aunt (Guhuoniao), Red Shadow (Yaodaoji), Eishi (Hana-cho-maki)."

Gu Yun didn't bring everyone along, because it wasn't necessary.

With his current spiritual power, he can command these top-tier shikigami and unleash their full potential.

"Are they here now?"

Old Zasa sat upright in the alternate dimension, watching the boy who appeared before him with great interest.

His gaze swept over the shikigami, lingering for a long time on Miketsu and Suzuka Gozen.

In particular, Suzuka Gozen, Old Zasa could actually sense a slight threat from her, which surprised him greatly. At the same time, he was also sincerely happy that Gu Yun was able to obtain such power to protect himself.

"Do not."

Gu Yun slowly walked to the side, bent down, and placed his hand on the water: "We're still missing one companion."

Chapter 178 Sisters of the Sea

"This is…"

Old Zasa looked at the water beneath Gu Yun's palm. This desolate land rippled once again after many years: "Shall we perform a god-making ceremony on the spot?"

According to Lao Zhasa, the principle behind Gu Yun's awakening of shikigami is to use perfect spiritual qualities to confer and create gods.

And now, he will witness this scene with his own eyes, witness the birth of a new god.

"Huh? My power?"

The little female ghost suddenly realized that the power of her afterlife, which originally belonged to her, had once again slipped out of her control.

Previously it was the 'present tense', but now it's the 'past tense' and 'future tense'.

Yes, it's not just the past and the future, but both of them stirring together.

"Awaken, Senhime!"

Gu Yun had no specific goal; he only wanted to give Qian Ji more power and enhance her aptitude and potential.

Suzuka Gozen's strength is too great; it would be difficult for Gu Yun to replicate such a powerful warrior.

Even so, the immense divine power brought about by the gathering of two-thirds of the natural incarnation in his next life still terrified the shikigami present.

Excluding Suzuka and Miketsu, there are no true incarnations of nature under Tanigumo's command.

"boom!"

A splash of azure water revealed a stunning figure leaping from beneath the surface.

This was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She had long silver hair, a fishtail swaying behind her, and a crimson conch in her hand that struck the center of the ocean in this alien space like a giant hammer.

Instantly, the waves subsided, the ripples disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

"Senhime..."

Suzuka Gozen looked at Senhime, who had been awakened by Tanigumo.

In terms of shikigami relationships, Suzuka and Senhime are half-sisters, sharing the same mother but different fathers. In this world, they are both natural incarnations of the afterlife.

The past, present, and future are all of the same origin; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are twins.

Therefore, from any perspective, the relationship between Suzuka and Senhime is extraordinary.

"Are you the one who woke me up?"

Qianji slowly walked up to Gu Yun, her beautiful light blue eyes gazing at the young man: "Thank you for giving me consciousness. How should I address you, Master?"

If Suzuka is a forthright and outgoing samurai princess, then Senhime is like a young lady who has stepped out of her boudoir.

Of course, this young lady is not a weak and easily bullied pretty face.

She is the princess of the Sea of ​​Immortality, strong, independent, and fearless, a powerful woman aiming to become queen.

"You can call me whatever you like."

Sensing the gentleness emanating from Gu Yun, Qian Ji smiled sweetly and said, "Then, may I call you little brother, little brother Gu Yun?"
