Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Fate and time are essentially closely related to the three periods of the afterlife; it is no exaggeration to say that they are their origin.

The so-called future erosion is actually the ecological and natural damage caused by fluctuations in the afterlife.

But if what Gu Yun said is true, then his relationship with the will of the afterlife is quite good…

"Is this, like this?"

Old Zong looked at Gu Yun with a somewhat speechless expression: "Is your relationship with the afterlife really so good that even this can be done indirectly?"

"For some reason, I feel a little sad..."

Yan Ling listened to their conversation the whole time, and she pouted: "What do you mean by a good relationship? I've been working like a slave for my lowly master!"

"It's just a small matter; I believe Lord Lai Shi will grant me this favor."

Gu Yun chuckled, ignoring Yan Ling's complaints. He was pretty much used to the little devil's sarcastic remarks.

"In other words, you actually intervened in the Kyoto turmoil, young friend."

Old Zong pondered, "You changed the course of fate and brought this riot under control, didn't you?"

"exactly."

Gu Yun said, "Although it's not a good way to put it, I don't believe that the end of life is death."

This might sound arrogant, or even dismissive of human life.

In this world, suffering in this life, peace in the next, and liberation in the next life together constitute the cycle of life and death.

"My power transcends the boundaries of life and death."

“If I keep acting rashly,” Gu Yun said, “I can indeed save many people, but I will also give a chance to those who should die.”

"Ah."

Old Zong nodded, agreeing with Gu Yun's views and understanding: "Rather than an intervener, young friend, would you prefer to be a maintainer?"

Chapter 283 Return

Adhere to the existing rules, instead of wantonly breaking them.

Gu Yun recognized the unique nature of this giant ecosystem and, after careful consideration, decided to become its protector.

In fact, Gu Yun is not the only one who has done this.

Yoh Asakura, Midori, and Kotoko Higa can all be considered guardians within this system.

This is why Gu Yun was able to connect with them.

Those who share the same values ​​can naturally become fellow practitioners.

Therefore, after obtaining a lot of inside information from Gu Yun, Lao Zongxiang decisively led his secluded disciples to prepare to leave Kyoto.

Knowing the reason, Higa Kotoko did nothing about it.

Her thoughts were not much different from Gu Yun's.

Gu Yun is indeed powerful, but unless faced with a major crisis that she cannot handle, Higa Kotoko does not want him to interfere.

Excessive protection is not a good thing.

A certain degree of tempering can help exorcists develop a good habit of being prepared for danger even in times of peace.

"The hermit has left?"

"gone."

Gu Yun found Higa Kotoko and expressed his intention to leave: "It just so happens that I've almost finished what I needed to do here."

"Then, Qinzi, please be careful."

"what."

Kotoko Higa knew what she was about to face, and she was already prepared to deal with all the hardships: "If I'm really about to die, you can't just stand by and watch me die."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Gu Yun chuckled twice: "Besides, they might not even need me. Aren't Asakura Yoh and Midori there?"

Either Yoh Asakura or Midori would require Kotoko Higa to use her trump cards to even have a chance to fight.

The stronger one is, the greater the limitations on their actions.

Even in a real battle, a top expert like Asakura Yoh is not much different from someone with a 70-spirit level or a 60-spirit level.

After all, Yoh Asakura would never use power that truly surpasses 70 spirit level in the present world.

Once that move is unleashed, not to mention the harm it causes to the enemy, he himself will be the one who causes the most damage to the world.

“They are guest advisors, just like elders.”

"You know, I've never liked old things."

Higa Kotoko: "I'm already fed up with those old geezers from the Dofan clan. Lord Ye and Lady Suiko are not like those people in the clan."

"Eh~~"

Yoh Asakura appeared behind Kotoko Higa without her noticing.

The boy, with his hands tucked in his pockets, had anticipated Gu Yun's departure and had come to see him off: "So this is how Kotoko-chan sees me and Midori? I'm a little sad."

"What Kotoko means is that we ultimately don't belong to this era."

Midori wasn't angry because Higa Kotoko was talking behind her back; she could actually understand Kotoko's thoughts.

Even though the power of the Four Heavenly Kings is considered to be at the pinnacle of human strength, and even surpasses the heights that the strongest humans of an era could reach.

But are they even human anymore?

What is meant by "human being"?

People like Gu Yun possess unparalleled strength, yet their mindset remains youthful.

Therefore, no matter what form Gu Yun takes, as long as his heart remains unchanged, he will still be a human boy.

Even including his previous life, having lived two lives, Gu Yun is only in his early thirties.

In comparison, Yoh Asakura has lived for over a thousand years, and Midori is only a few years younger than him, both belonging to the category of ancient beings.

Their mindset is no longer young.

Often, it's impossible to think about problems simply from a human perspective.

Having lived for so long, what difference is there between me and a monster?

They only see the changing times and are indifferent to the birth, aging, sickness and death of ordinary people.

Because I've seen it too many times.

Perhaps in the beginning, they cried, suffered, and despaired.

But by now, tears have become a flu, and meaningless grief has numbed us.

In Kotoko Higa's eyes, Yoh Asakura and Midori were no different from gods, equally aloof, equally otherworldly, and untouched by worldly concerns.

Yoh Asakura was somewhat better off; at least he still had the mindset to enjoy life.

Cui Zi simply gave up.

She didn't show much emotional fluctuation from the beginning, didn't get involved in her own affairs, and just watched the show from the sidelines.

Kotoko Higa: I'm playing cards.

Midori: I am a bomb

Yoh Asakura: I'm the trump card.

Gu Yun: I'll just flip the table.

During this process, Gu Yunzheng entrusted all matters concerning the exorcism world and the supernatural community to Higa Kotoko.

Midori and Yoh Asakura are Kotoko Higa's trump cards.

Only when faced with a true cataclysmic crisis that changes the very fabric of the world will Gu Yun intervene, then overturn the entire table: 'What demons and monsters? They're all trash!'

"When will we do it?"

"Some preparations are still needed."

Higa Kotoko said, "This is the first time I have commanded a group of exorcists in action."

If it were just Higa Kotoko alone, she would have rushed up immediately.

This girl is like a Valkyrie; she loves fighting alone on the front lines of war and is invincible.

Fortunately, Higa Kotoko possesses this kind of strength.

Since Gu Yun completed the seal on her body, Higa Kotoko has become a perfect Jinchūriki, able to draw upon the divine power of the sealed evil god within her to fight.

This also resulted in Higa Kotoko's rank, although it did not reach the height of 80, it was 77 or 78.

In the human realm, which is her home turf, even Yoh Asakura would probably be forcibly thrown out by her.

“The association needs to accumulate experience in exorcism,” Higa Kotoko said. “This chaos caused by evil gods in Kyoto is a good opportunity.”

Just as Yoh Asakura and Midori were mentoring Kotoko Higa, Kotoko was also taking care of the exorcists in the association.

All three parties are acting as protectors for others.

Gu Yun protects them all, Asakura Yoh and Midori protect Higa Kotoko, and Higa Kotoko protects the exorcists in the association.

"Where is the evil god? Has it been determined yet?"

"Kibune Shrine!"

Higa Kotoko glanced at Gu Yun, clearly realizing that the other party underestimated her: "Although it is very well hidden, no matter how well the aura of an evil god is concealed, there will always be some loopholes."

She was the most sensitive person in the world to the aura of evil gods.

The evil god is causing trouble right under Higa Kotoko's nose, completely disregarding her.

"Perfect! Since you're here, none of you will leave!"

When Higa Kotoko became domineering, even though Gu Yun and the other two were clearly stronger, they were suppressed by her aura.

It just goes to show that they have better leadership than those three who just know how to slack off.
