Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Da Luo Tian didn't blame Gu Yun for having doubts. Putting himself in her shoes, he would also have such thoughts, wondering if he was being used by the high and mighty giant god.

"So I will also give you my real name."

"The essence of a real name is a bridge, through which those in power can control those in power."

The spiritual status of the Great Luo Heaven is close to perfection, and theoretically, the power of the 'True Name' has no effect on Him.

However, it would be different if the person who built the bridge was Gu Yun.

The gap between a fully-fledged spirit and near perfection is greater than that between an ordinary person and a giant god; they are two completely different dimensions.

"The method of true name is but a minor path."

"However, simplifying complexity is the most useful thing to you, especially the simplest things."

With Gu Yun's spiritual power, even the simplest strike contains extremely terrifying power.

In other words, signatures and contracts are the simplest things.

Even national leaders are subject to constraints as long as they have credibility as a guarantee.

The Spiritual Rank is the binding force, the absolute guarantee that the Great Luo Heaven will not harm Gu Yun.

"I don't quite understand," Gu Yun asked, "You've done all this just to get rid of Hiruko-gami?"

Gu Yun held the true name given to him by the Great Luo Heaven in his palm, but did not casually include it in his book of affections.

Although if the Great Luo Heaven harbored malicious intent, it could directly imprison or even enslave Gu Yun, Gu Yun was willing to believe that this was truly a great, just, and supreme deity.

However, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

It seems that Da Luo Tian thought so too, so He did not force Gu Yun to immediately inscribe his true name.

Anyway, since the real name has already been given to Gu Yun, it doesn't make much difference whether he simply keeps it or adds it to the Book of Favorites.

This is inherently a one-to-one relationship.

By including him in the Book of Affection, Gu Yun can obtain the immense power of the Great Luo Heaven; even without including him, he can still use it to restrain the other party.

"Child, have you ever seen the world truly close up?"

"Ok?"

Gu Yun knew that the closure of heaven and earth was a power that only great demons could wield, similar to a real small world filled with their own laws.

But what Da Luo Tian said was definitely not that simple. Gu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it the same as the closure of heaven and earth by the great demon?"

"The power of the great demon was merely an experiment I conducted."

"experiment?"

"Yes."

The Great Luo Heaven said, "The world is not eternal; sooner or later, it will come to an end."

"You ask me what my purpose is."

"It's very simple."

Da Luotian's gaze fell on Gu Yun, filled with expectation: "I want to create an eternal, indestructible world without beginning or end."

"An eternal world?!"

Gu Yun had considered the purpose of the Great Luo Heaven, but he never expected that it would do something like this.

"Child, do you think I'm saying all this to save my life, to avoid dying with the world?"

As if seeing through Gu Yun's thoughts, Da Luotian's voice was extremely calm: "Actually, no, I am not afraid of annihilation."

"Because I am already tired of this repetitive world."

Next, Da Luo Tian told Gu Yun an astonishing fact: "I have experienced countless great destructions, where all living beings died and matter was annihilated, and then I sat at the end of the universe to complete the great undertaking of creation once again."

The Great Luo Heaven is not the creator of this world or era. Even the Great Luo Heaven itself may not know when it was born.

"I've witnessed the world close up and down too many times. Logically, I should be used to it."

"But you have feelings!"

Gu Yun seemed to understand Da Luo Tian's thoughts: "You are afraid of the closure of heaven and earth because you can't bear to part with this world?"

"Can you understand, child?"

“Indeed, you are just like my dearest friend,” Da Luotian said, his voice tinged with longing. “Yes, I love this world, and I don’t want it to become just a memory.”

“In the past, I had no subjective feelings; even if the world were to fall apart, I would remain unmoved.”

However, things are different now. The Great Luo Heaven belongs to this world; it has become a part of this world.

Even if the world ends, the Great Luo Heaven can still transcend worldly affairs.

But this is only physical; it's more about the mind.

If such a thing were to happen, Da Luo Tian would suffer a severe emotional blow, and He would also fear that He would turn to the dark side because of the loss.

"Giving you my real name is also a form of insurance."

The only difference between Da Luo Tian and Gu Yun is whether they can reach the tenth level; otherwise, their power is the same.

At least on floors 1 through 9, there is no difference in the abilities that the two can use.

"Unfortunately, you are no match for me."

Da Luo Tian didn't mean to belittle Gu Yun; He was simply stating the truth: "I am far more ancient than you."

If Gu Yun wanted to reach the heights of the Great Luo Heaven, let alone decades or centuries, even millions or tens of millions of years would probably be far from enough.

"indeed."

Gu Yun agreed with this; the Great Luo Heaven was indeed the pinnacle of existence in this world.

The real name was given to Gu Yun by Da Luo Tian on his own initiative. This thing was like Da Luo Tian leaving Gu Yun with his own weakness.

If one day, Da Luo Tian truly turns evil and loses control, then this true name will become the only means for Gu Yun's side to defeat and destroy Him.

Of course, having a real name doesn't necessarily mean you can defeat the Great Luo Heaven; it's ultimately just a possibility.

"Then, shall I go to the tenth floor now?"

"..."

Da Luotian looked at Gu Yun helplessly and said awkwardly, "Child, once you go to the tenth floor, you may never come back."

"what?!"

Gu Yun's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that going to the tenth floor would come with such a price.

To go and never return—the price is far too high.

Chapter 247 The Splendor of the World, Awaiting Your Full View

"We giants can change the world, but I alone do not have the final say."

The giants need to make a decision together to truly complete the creation of the eternal world, and the prerequisite for this step is that all the giants change from being objective to being subjective.

The Great Luo Heaven meets the requirements, but all the other giant gods are in an objective state.

"The tenth floor is like a throne to you."

“When you reach there, you will be able to rule over us giants.”

At that time, the giants will grant Gu Yun's every wish and idea, just like his hands and feet.

Therefore, Gu Yun may not be able to come down, but that doesn't mean he can't interfere anymore.

In fact, once Gu Yun reaches the tenth level, he will gain supreme control over this world and become the supreme ruler.

"But, still, we can't get down, can we?"

Upon reaching the tenth level, Gu Yun will gain power and authority, but will lose his freedom.

No, it can't be called freedom.

It should be said that his perspective will shift from that of humble humans to that of a god high above, looking down upon the world below.

"It's not that I can't get down, it's that you won't come down anymore."

According to Da Luo Tian, ​​human interest lies in the unknown; the more you know, the less interesting things become.

The tenth floor symbolizes omnipotence and omniscience; once Gu Yun goes there, he will lose all his pleasure.

"Do we really have to go to the tenth floor?"

To be honest, Gu Yun was a little resistant. After learning the truth about the tenth floor, he refused to go near it no matter what.

"not now."

However, Da Luo Tian said, "Going to the tenth level is your last resort."

"Before that, you can enjoy your life and experience the joys of life."

Chang Shengtian had said something similar to Gu Yun. He knew more or less about the relationship between the giant god and the tenth floor, unlike Uesugi and Katen, who were still immersed in the shadow of Hiruko's footsteps.

Is there no time limit?

"No."

Da Luo Tian: "A thousand years, ten thousand years, as long as you still yearn for the human world, you can continue to live."

We won't rush you.

"until…"

Da Luo Tian: "The day you grow tired of it."

The splendor of the world will eventually come to an end.

Especially when the cicadas' chirping in the summer of memory is replaced by neon lights at night, the sense of unfamiliarity will sooner or later become a source of suffering for the immortals.

The tenth floor is optional; Gu Yun doesn't have to go if he doesn't want to.

"So, these things actually have little to do with me now?"

Gu Yun understood, and he smiled nonchalantly: "Since it's a matter for the future, let's leave it for the future."

As for now, Gu Yun is only 14 years old. He still has junior high school, high school, university, and a wonderful life ahead of him.
