Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Faced with Gu Yun's indifference, Lingzi felt a little embarrassed.

"In fact, the legacy of the Yellow Springs Messenger is certainly not insignificant in the power I possess, but it's not particularly powerful either."

Gu Yun knew that Lingzi was different from the three old people; she had a younger mindset and liked him very much.

This affection is not romantic love, but rather leans more towards the kinship between siblings or family members.

If Gu Yun weren't so strong right now, Natsume Reiko would definitely be willing to accompany him as a guardian spirit and protect his safety.

Unfortunately, Gu Yun was too awesome, which turned Natsume Reiko's good intentions into pressure.

Reiko wanted to protect her younger brother, not be his leg ornament!

"I originally planned to invite Sister Lingzi after I found a more powerful lineage."

Gu Yun scratched his head and said, "But it's the same now. Sister Lingzi, you should familiarize yourself with the power of the Yellow Springs Messenger first. Once I find a more suitable inheritance for you, we can cover it up together."

Of the four kings of the Wild Fox Zen sect, only Natsume Reiko could be persuaded to join Gu Yun.

"I'm so touched that Gu Yun is so considerate of her sister~~"

Reiko Natsume hugged Gu Yun again: "I've been to many places, so I'll take over the tour guide job from now on!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Sister Lingzi."

Gu Yun welcomed Lingzi's arrival and, without further delay, led her to the sea of ​​red spider lilies, intending to complete the Yellow Springs Messenger's inheritance ceremony for her there.

As for the responsibilities of the messengers of the underworld…

What does this have to do with Natsume Reiko?

The one who bestowed the title of deity upon Lingzi was Gu Yun, not a Yin deity from the other world.

She's not even part of the system.

Even if someone has to take responsibility, it should be for Gu Yun.

Gu Yun's job for Natsume Reiko was to travel freely to different worlds, find fun and interesting places for her, and then act as her tour guide to lead everyone on team-building trips.

Gu Yun felt no pressure whatsoever about this.

Anyway, once this operation is over, the leader of the entire afterlife, that great will of the afterlife, will be his people.

Yama wouldn't take a mere messenger from the underworld to heart.

Chapter 288 Lord of Rest in the Other World

"how should I do?"

"Don't be nervous, Sister Lingzi."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Just relax and don't resist."

"Ah."

Lingzi trusted Gu Yun completely; she was completely unguarded and let her guard down.

"In the name of the Lord of the Divine Favor, I hereby appoint you as the Messenger of the Underworld!"

Words like magic were recited from Gu Yun's mouth, and golden runes bloomed from the boy's body like flowers.

"This is?"

Reiko Natsume felt the majestic aura emanating from the golden inscriptions. She did not resist, but allowed them to envelop her.

"Ding~~"

The inscriptions were mysterious and complex, like musical notes falling all around Lingzi.

At the same time, Natsume Reiko's spiritual essence began to emerge.

Spiritual entities are inherently formless and intangible.

However, here, Gu Yun clearly saw Lingzi's essence and origin.

It was a dazzling radiance that defied description, as if it contained the endless colors of the world, captivating people and making it impossible for them to extricate themselves.

"Is this the color of Reiko's spirit?"

There is no distinction between large and small quantities of spirit stones; what matters is their purity.

The purity, visually speaking, or in terms of the intuitive visual experience that Gu Yun can understand, is this stunning color.

"Reiko's spirit level is around 65, which is lower than that of a fully unfolded Higanbana, but higher than most of my SR shikigami with SP transformation capabilities."

Using the rank system in the scroll, Natsume Reiko, with a normal rank of 65, is good enough to be rated as an SSR.

Messengers of the Underworld, Messengers of Hell, and Messengers of the Netherworld are not ordinary SRs; rather, they transform the opponent's power on top of their original foundation.

In short, the higher an individual's foundation, the greater the heights they can reach when they are granted godhood.

Just like Enma Ai and Natsume Reiko, their powers of the underworld and hell are comparable, but their strength after being transformed into shikigami varies.

Enma Ai is not as powerful as Reiko; the former may not be able to reach 50 points in spirit rank.

As far as Gu Yun knew, Enma Ai should be one of the minor gods, rather than a true deity.

Lingzi is not a god either, but the spiritual realm she cultivated later laid a solid foundation for her.

This is why Gu Yun does not intend to give Lingzi the power of the Yellow Springs Messenger.

He is truly a messenger from the underworld, unworthy of a woman as exceptionally talented as Reiko.

"The upper limit for messengers of the underworld is still too low."

Looking at Natsume Reiko who was absorbing the power of the underworld, Gu Yun sighed inwardly: "With Reiko's talent, she is more than capable of withstanding the inheritance of a shikigami at the level of a natural incarnation."

At best, the messenger of the underworld is just an ecological spirit.

After all, this is merely a messenger from the underworld, not an incarnation of the underworld.

The two words differ by only two characters, yet their quality is worlds apart.

"Think about it."

Gu Yun thought of Senhime and Suzuka Gozen: "The sisters from the Sea Kingdom descended to earth in the form of natural incarnations from the next life, and they are guaranteed to be SSRs."

Enma was originally a shikigami from a scroll.

If her awakening mission can bring three SSR-level combat power at the same time, that would be a bit too exaggerated.

The three messengers were merely supporting characters, no different from those given away as freebies with phone credit top-ups.

"Ok?"

The snail and Goshiro Kotaki, who were watching the two people in the sea of ​​red spider lilies, vaguely sensed something. They exchanged a glance and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"This power..."

"It can't be wrong!"

Having spent decades in the underworld, Kotaki Goshiro's understanding was even more profound than that of a snail: "Reiko has truly received a great fortune this time."

"Another ecological spirit of the Underworld, a messenger of the Underworld..."

Originally, the Yellow Springs Messenger was guaranteed a minimum of 60 Spirit Points, but with Natsume Reiko's potential support, it was pushed to a level of 70 Spirit Points.

What do native beings of a 70-spirit dimension represent?

The spirit of ecology!

Unlike the fixed three incarnations of nature, the number of ecological spirits is not inherently limited.

To understand the spirit of ecology, one must first know what it represents.

Ecology is not life, not species, but an essential component of the self-circulation of a region.

The red spider lily is the spirit of ecology. The ecology it represents is not just the red spider lily itself, but the soil in the underworld and the goddess of all dead flowers, trees and other plants.

The soil nurtures dead life, which is why the red spider lily gained recognition in the afterlife and became a deity belonging to the Yellow Springs.

Now, Natsume Reiko has also received the same opportunity by chance.

"The gate that connects life and death, and the manager of the souls who find peace in the underworld, the queen who guides the gods of death..."

Reiko savored the newfound power and authority that she could never have imagined before: "So powerful! If I wanted, I could even rewrite the rules of the Little Penglai in the other world!"

Little Penglai is the name that Gu Yun and others gave to this world, which is like a paradise, the entrance to the Yellow Springs, and a place where souls can rest in peace.

The scenery here is beautiful, resources are inexhaustible, and the relationships between people are harmonious.

Whether in terms of material or spiritual aspects, Xiaopenglai is undoubtedly an ideal paradise.

Since the fall of the previous ruler of Xiaopenglai a thousand years ago, this paradise-like land has lost its true ruler.

Until Reiko appeared.

Indeed, the ecology represented by Reiko is the mountains and sea contained in this little Penglai, which is to say, "come here from the hustle and bustle to enjoy tranquility", which is also the embodiment of the concept of "rest in peace" after death.

Of course, Reiko had absolutely no interest in ruling or anything like that.

Little Penglai has no ruler and has been doing well for the past thousand years, so its presence or absence makes little difference.

Lingzi could easily be a hands-off manager without any psychological burden.

"Little Gu Yun~~"

Upon thinking of this, Lingzi immediately pounced on Gu Yun: "Hehe, I've been promoted to an Ecological Spirit, all thanks to your blessing, Gu Yun."

"No, it's clearly because you're so outstanding, Reiko-nee."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "The appointment as the Yellow Springs Messenger is just an opportunity. Sister Lingzi can become the Lord of Peace, which is the result of your previous efforts."

Well, let's just say that.

"Anyway, I'll be following you from now on," Reiko said nonchalantly, "I won't stand on ceremony with you, sister."

The spirits of ecology have their own territories of rule. The red spider lily is located on the banks of the Sanzu River, but Reiko goes even further, taking over the most important part of the underworld.

It should be noted that the three regions of the Yellow Springs, Hell, and Underworld are almost boundless.

Even among rulers, the territory under their control is like the difference between a city center and the suburbs, or even the wilderness.

The city center of the underworld is Little Penglai, and the suburbs are the area along the Sanzu River.

As for the wilderness…
