Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Therefore, even if a few die during the first twelve days, it doesn't matter.

Even the Eternal Heaven itself was prepared to sacrifice itself.

"Thank you, Elder Changshengtian."

After the sparring session ended, Gu Yun focused his attention on the newly acquired shikigami, 'Word Spirit'.

He had previously awakened Qianji in front of the Eternal Heaven.

With his own abilities and the means of creating things with perfect spiritual essence, he actually had no secrets in front of powerful figures like the Eternal Heaven.

The powerful one is not the shikigami, but Gu Yun himself.

Because he has not yet fully matured, the power protects him in the form of a shikigami.

"What is the power of words?"

When Gu Yun traveled through time, the shikigami "Word Spirit" didn't exist in the mobile game yet.

At this moment, the scroll was lit up, and Gu Yun also saw the illusory silhouette under the golden light.

With long, straight white hair, golden eyes, and dark skin, she is an extremely cute dark-skinned loli, with a huge, dark cloud of demons floating behind her.

【Word Spirit】

Introduction: An ancient deity born from the chaotic sea of ​​words, possessing the power to make words law and create the world with a single word.

The belief that words have power is an extremely important foundation of Japanese faith, and almost all myths and legends are conceived and derived from this concept.

In this world, Gu Yun's grandfather, Snail, once told him why 'language' possesses such magical power.

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name.

This is the opening of the Tao Te Ching. The snail once used this as an example to tell Gu Yun: 'The Tao cannot be spoken of, cannot be summarized, and cannot be imagined.'

Therefore, Tao can be understood as the greatest, highest, deepest, and most boundless source.

He has no meaning, nor can he be studied or explored.

The reason it is called "Tao" is simply because the person who proposed this concept used the word "Tao" to refer to Him.

'Warlocks shouldn't get bogged down in the concept of 'the Way,' as that will only lead to pointless mental exhaustion.'

Snail: 'What can truly be known by sorcerers and has any meaning should be the name derived from the 'Tao'.

Just like an apple is an apple, it has a specific form and can attract people's attention and evoke associations.

But what exactly is an Apple?

If we do not see with our eyes, hear with our ears, feel with our skin, or taste with our mouths.

Without tools or references, what exactly is Apple?

Is it something called an apple?

No, it's not; it's a 'name'.

Simply put, 'name' is the truth in philosophy; it represents 'understanding' and 'acceptance'.

No matter how science develops in the future, no matter how deeply you explore matter, even if you have found the essence of an apple, it will still be a 'name'.

Because the 'Tao' cannot be understood, only the 'name' can be understood.

Colorblind people cannot see red, but red does not cease to exist just because they cannot see it.

Everything that exists objectively, whether or not it has been discovered or understood, belongs to the category of 'name'.

The Tao cannot be objective.

A name exists objectively.

The process from 'name' to 'language' is the cognitive process of intelligent beings.

Just like "apple" and "apple" are different names, but they refer to the same thing. This is subjectivity.

Speech is more than just sound.

In fact, even the concepts that subconsciously pop into a person's mind when they see an animal or plant are part of 'language'.

That's right, speech is about understanding the objective world from different perspectives.

'Words have a spirit, recorded in images, and passed down through words.'

Pictorial writing is the oldest form of writing; the two are inseparable, both representing inscription and transmission.

The power of words represents the process by which people perceive the objective world. It is a subjective deity, the primordial god born from the creation theory that "the world is conscious."

In terms of origin alone, the 'Word Spirits' of this world are more noble than those in the game.

"That sounds pretty impressive..."

Gu Yun didn't know the specific strength and role of the Word Spirit; he was more concerned about its appearance: "Could it be that the scroll heard my thoughts and gave me the opportunity to take revenge on the little devil?"

The dark-skinned loli's words of power seemed to Gu Yun perfectly aligned with the desire for a physical body in the afterlife.

Chapter 187 Dark-skinned Lolita

"Little devil?"

"Who's the little devil? You're the little devil! Your whole family are little devils!"

The discontent with his will in the afterlife immediately came through, which Gu Yun automatically transformed into this sarcastic remark.

"Ahem, then, the will of the next life?"

Gu Yun and the will of the afterlife didn't actually have much of a grudge; at most, it was just a spanking.

It's not really a grudge; at most, it's just that a naughty little sister ruined her brother's figurine.

'Um. ’

'A figurine worth several thousand yuan,' Gu Yun thought to himself, 'it really deserves a beating.'

However, Gu Yun could not possibly reveal what he was thinking, otherwise he would frighten the little devil and then he would be unable to take revenge.

"what's up?"

The little devil's voice carried a hint of arrogance, as if getting Gu Yun to change his mind would be a victory.

"You must have seen Senhime just now, right?"

"How about it?"

Gu Yun said, "Do you want to have your own body, just like Qian Ji?"

"Huh? Is that okay?!"

Although her will to live in the afterlife is willful, she is clearly not smart enough.

In short, they're very easy to fool; you can take them home, raise them for a few days, and they'll have a whole litter of babies for you.

"Ah, I happen to have a suitable medium for your arrival."

As Gu Yun spoke, he opened the scroll and told the little demon about the appearance and origin of the Word of Power. After hearing this, the demon's eyes lit up: "This! I like this! Give it to me!"

Gu Yun was not worried at all about the will to refuse in the next life.

None of these world powers are truly law-abiding; given the opportunity for freedom, they certainly won't miss it.

Of course, different worlds have different personalities, and therefore make different choices.

Miketsu is kind and gentle, while the little demon is willful and mischievous; neither of them live in an evil world.

In contrast, once the wills of the Turbid World and the Void World gained their freedom, even if they came under Gu Yun's command, he would still have to discipline them properly.

If released, it will definitely trigger a terrible disaster.

The Yellow Springs are slightly better, but Yama, by his very nature, doesn't care too much about the life and death of mortals.

She wouldn't disregard human life; at most, she would just stand by and watch.

"If you are willing, then do not resist. I will now let you descend in the form of a Word of Power."

The summoning of scroll spirits can replenish the souls of those who are missing something by absorbing factors that exist in this world, such as ecology, nature, and the will of the world.

Both Senhime and Suzuka Gozen tend to be fragmented.

Basically, the more complex the task, or the more specific the geographical requirements, the higher the chance of obtaining the divine status of a high-ranking deity.

"Boom~~"

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, especially the curious gaze of Changshengtian, a figure slowly condensed under Gu Yun's power.

Soon, the white-haired, dark-skinned loli appeared in front of Gu Yun.

She floated on the water's surface, and when she opened her tightly closed eyes, she looked at her hands and her reflection in the water with astonishment.

"It really worked!"

"I have a physical body now, hahaha!"

She's a little devil, no, she should be called a Word Spirit.

The dark-skinned loli stood with her hands on her hips, arrogantly declaring, "In the next life, this will be my territory, and everyone will have to worship me and become my believer!"

The Gu Yun family's spiritual power requires neither faith nor the will for the afterlife.

But if people worship her, it will make her, the creator goddess, look incredibly prestigious.

"Eh~~"

Gu Yun stood beside Yan Ling, his hands tucked in his pockets, seemingly unconcerned about Yan Ling's ambitions.

【Word Spirit】

Races: Ancient God of the Sea of ​​Words, Will of the Afterlife, Creator God

Spiritual Rank: 85/92 (Normal/Awakened)

Talents: Mantra of All Spirits, Imperial Decree Seal, Ancient Script, Deceptive Sin, Awakening - Primordial God

Her Word of Power is very strong, only slightly weaker than Suzuka's.

Her strength surpasses that of Miketsuhime, and after awakening, she can even reach the threshold of the Upper Twelve Heavens, possessing the power of a creator god who descends to earth to save humanity.

Therefore, the power of words certainly has the right to be arrogant.
