Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Chapter 228 The Illusory Will of the Eight Trigrams

"You came all this way to see me, is there something you need?"

Gu Yun didn't like Huo Tian very much because she did things without considering the feelings of others.

With so many hellish prisoners returning to the human world, the destruction and killing they caused must all be attributed to Huo Tian.

If she hadn't acted recklessly, none of this would have happened.

"It's nothing troublesome, and at least it won't bother you."

"Ok?"

Under Gu Yun's questioning gaze, Huo Tian's aura suddenly surged.

"I'm here to kill you!"

A radiant smile of relief spread across her beautiful face. Huo Tian raised her left hand, and the fragmented debris from the ghost realm gathered together, eventually transforming into a jet-black ancient sword in her hand.

"I am the enemy!"

The sword slash was unremarkable, without even causing the slightest energy fluctuation.

However, it was this casual strike, devoid of any skill, that made Gu Yun freeze in his tracks.

'I will die…'

At this moment, Gu Yun instinctively felt fear.

If he were alone here, Gu Yun would have absolutely no chance of resisting Huo Tian's sword strike.

"boom!!"

However, Gu Yun was not alone…

"Hey!"

Yan Ling shattered Huo Tian's attack with a single slap, her face incredibly grim: "You want to die! Is that what you mean?"

"Xu Shi, give me this space!"

Her petite body soared into the air, and the surging divine light transformed into a colossal deity born from the very origin.

This deity is the embodiment of the power of words, representing authority in the afterlife.

Unfortunately, this is a virtual world, not the domain of Word Spirits. Otherwise, with the suppression of the world alone, Word Spirits would be invincible.

"Do you really want to fight here?"

There is a certain connection between the world's wills. The Word Spirits are aware of the wills of the virtual world, and they have clashed and rubbed against each other more than once.

"Can't we go outside to fight?"

The Will of the Void had already sensed the commotion here and knew that Yan Ling and Gu Yun had entered its world.

She originally didn't intend to pay any attention to it.

Unfortunately, Huo Tian also barged in and inexplicably declared war on Gu Yun.

Clearly, Huo Tian has angered Yan Ling, making this battle inevitable.

"Just to give me some face, Xu Shi!"

"..."

The afterlife and the illusory world are not friends; rather, they are more like enemies.

"Ugh."

"Ok."

Yan Ling is serious; she is extremely angry right now.

"I will do my best to silence any sounds of your battle."

Xu Shi knew that Yan Ling wasn't joking; she genuinely wanted to kill Huo Tian.

"Wow~~"

One by one, the demons converged on this place, weaving together a deep arena forged from pitch-black silt.

"This lord."

A gentle yet cool female voice rang in Gu Yun's ears: "Please do not resist. I will take you to the audience seats. It is safe there."

"it is good."

Yan Ling has already told Gu Yun about the relationship between Xu Shi and her.

Although the virtual world is a world of strange tales, it is full of all kinds of filth.

However, the world's will is not absolutely good or evil; it is merely the embodiment of rules and has no inherent right or wrong, good or bad.

"How is it here?"

Gu Yun was teleported to the audience seats by the virtual world. Upon seeing this, the nun quickly synchronized with him and followed closely.

"not bad."

Gu Yun asked, "Are you the will of the illusory world?"

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Gu Yun."

Xu Shi had actually seen Gu Yun more than once before.

In their previous encounters, the Void World had not realized Gu Yun's identity until Yan Ling entered with Gu Yun, at which point the Void World's will realized Gu Yun's unusual nature.

A person of perfect spiritual character.

Almost instantly, Xu Shi had a pretty good idea of ​​Gu Yun's background.

Do you know why Huo Tian is my enemy?

Gu Yun found it strange that, through mind-reading, he discovered that Huo Tian did not hate him, but even respected him quite a bit.

Logically speaking, Huo Tian should have bowed down to Gu Yun upon seeing him, just like Uesugi-neechan.

Why is she acting like a madwoman now, threatening to die right away?

"Because the latter part of the twelve-day period was mostly done out of necessity."

The feeling that Xu Shi gave Gu Yun was like that of a very well-mannered older sister. Compared to Yan Ling, who knew nothing, she was obviously much more knowledgeable.

“Vishamonten feared death and felt humiliated, so he descended from heaven to become a human.”

"But she only crossed over her own death, but also lost the will to live."

According to the fictional world, when Uesugi-nee was still a god, she chose to desert because she was afraid of Hiruko-gami.

However, her pride prevented her from accepting this humiliation.

Therefore, Uesugi chose to descend from heaven to become human.

However, more than four hundred years have passed. Although Uesugi-neechan has indeed overcome the great terror between life and death, what she seeks now is to fight for Tanigumo and then die on the battlefield.

In other words, Uesugi-nee longed for a glorious death.

'Yes, Uesugi is indeed a loyal dog.'

Gu Yun also noticed that the reason why Uesugi-neechan was still alive was because she regarded her 'mission' as her life.

She had no other ambitions but to serve Gu Yun, obey his orders, and forge ahead without hesitation.

"Huo Tian has suffered countless betrayals."

"Being schemed against by the gods, abused by humans, and rejected by this world."

Xu Shi thought she could give Huo Tian an award called 'The Most Tragic Tragedy of the Twelve Heavens'.

"She was the one who was bullied, but after the gods fell, she was the one who was asked to protect the world."

Huo Tian felt only hatred for the world, not love.

However, she was also an extremely kind and gentle goddess, and could not bear to watch Hiruko-sama's footsteps fall and turn civilization into ruins.

"How do you know so much?"

"I am the will of the illusory world."

What is the virtual world? It's a transit station for emotions.

When it comes to gossip, no one in this world can compare to Xu Shi.

Based on this alone, Xu Shi declared that he would absolutely not lose!

"Was this how you were before?"

Gu Yun felt her illusions about the virtual world shattered: 'By the way, weren't you supposed to be a cool and aloof older sister type?'

“I have to deal with emotions and thoughts from all over the world every day,” Xu Shi said nonchalantly. “There’s so much information, even if I don’t want to know it, there’s nothing I can do.”

The virtual world receives signals from almost all dimensions.

The signals here include ideas, thoughts, emotions, thinking, and even fantasies.

The virtual world possesses the powerful ability to transform illusory things into real ones.

"So don't blame Huo Tian."

Xu Shi said, "She has long been driven mad by the responsibility of the twelve days."

Imagine that Huo Tian's greatest desire is to destroy the world, but because he can't bear to do it, he forces himself to protect it.

Such contradictions, over hundreds or even thousands of years, would drive even gods mad.

"Your power is still above the fiery heavens."

"so…."

Xu Shi: "As she wishes, grant her death."
