Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

While Yama Senado cannot advance the Hall of Trials and Tribulations further, it will provide Shiki Eiki with strong endurance.

In this situation, unless the opponent unleashes a burst of power stronger than Suzuka's incarnation, the shattered mirror will soon be repaired by Shiki Eiki.

It's safe to say that Suzuka felt it wouldn't be a problem to trap Shiki Eiki in the lower section for a while before she completely exhausted her power.

"To reach this level is already quite impressive."

Gu Yun sincerely praised Shiki Eiki, not only because of her own power, but also because she offered him a new possibility.

Gu Yun's spiritual essence possesses strong calculation and analytical abilities.

Whenever a new talent is born among the shikigami under his command, Gu Yun can use his power to deduce and replicate it, thus making it his own.

The Four Forbidden Techniques, including the God of War Technique, are not merely about hand-to-hand combat; their essence lies in the unity of spirit and body.

Through this forbidden technique, Gu Yun not only gained powerful combat abilities, but also became more versatile in the application of magic.

"Eiki will continue to guard the underworld and conduct fair trials for the departed souls."

Gu Yun had no intention of having Shiki Eiki follow him. This King Yama should stay here, and he wouldn't trouble him for his own selfish reasons.

"Please don't be so polite, my lord."

"If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Eiki Shiki doesn't have much ambition; her pursuit is to reach a higher realm, which is why she works diligently to maintain the balance between good and evil in the underworld, remaining impartial and incorruptible.

Of course, Shiki Eiki is an old stubborn woman who likes to preach; it's just her personality.

However, what she chose more was the path of cultivation.

Shiki Eiki longed to become stronger; otherwise, why would she have come to the Underworld and taken up a post there? Wasn't it all to gain merit to aid her cultivation and glimpse the mysteries of the Seventh Realm?

Now, thanks to Gu Yun's blessing, Shiki Eiki's dream has come true.

Although it was very brief and required the use of shortcuts and loopholes like awakening to enter, Shiki Eiki did indeed glimpse the mysteries of the seventh realm.

Not to mention the eighth realm after the seventh realm.

Shiki Eiki knew her own talent; she knew that she could never master the eighth realm on her own in this lifetime.

But you can still have dreams, right?

Only when you score 70 points can you set your sights on 80 points, thus making progress step by step.

The gap between the seventh and eighth realms is like an insurmountable chasm.

Eiki Shiki was well aware of this.

Fortunately, Shiki Eiki wasn't too obsessed with the eighth realm; she was already content with her current power.

To be honest, staying in the Underworld wouldn't be of much help to Eiki Shiki anymore.

Rather than serving as one of the Ten Kings of Hell, Shiki Eiki longs to follow Tanigumo.

She admitted that there was a utilitarian element to this following, but admiring the strong and seeking profit are human nature, not to mention the great kindness Gu Yun had shown her, which greatly increased her favorability towards him.

Therefore, it should be an honor for her to serve the master with her frail body.

"Your presence here will be of great help to me."

Gu Yun saw through Shiki Eiki's thoughts; she had fully evolved.

Even without Gu Yun, Shiki Eiki remains the just and impartial Yama, but when it comes to her master, Shiki Eiki can easily become driven by her own selfish desires.

What about laws, morality, and natural justice?

What's the point of all this stuff?

It wasn't them who gave Shiki Eiki the opportunity to break through to the seventh realm.

Eiki Shiki says that she is just an employee, so of course she has to listen to the boss who pays her salary.

"Is that right?"

Upon hearing Gu Yun's request, Shiki Eiki thought of many things and guessed, "You, could it be that you want to rule this afterlife kingdom?"

Yes!

Upon hearing this, even Shiki Eiki herself thought it was quite possible.

Gu Yun has now awakened three messengers, and with the three natural incarnations still do not awaken, the three of them can easily steal the authority of the three regions of Yellow Springs, Hell, and Underworld.

Although Gu Yun will revive the will of the other world, while that person is indeed noble, his ability to manage the other world is something that Shiki Eiki cannot praise.

The order of the afterlife has long been stolen by the gods of various pantheons.

Throughout history, countless powerful beings have been able to freely control life and death, yet the will of the other world remains indifferent to this.

This shows that even if Enma were to truly awaken, she wouldn't care too much.

More likely, they will be free-range.

In this situation, a group of excellent managers is obviously indispensable.

Shiki Eiki was confident in her extensive experience in managing the underworld, and she was certain that she could turn the entire underworld into a support group for Gu Yun, able to summon a large army of the dead for him at any time.

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun thought Shiki Eiki was overthinking it: "What I mean is, just be the same as before, you don't need to do these things. I'm really not interested in ruling."

Chapter 326 Likes to Preach

He refused the request to rule over everything for who knows how many times.

He's not Princess Goldfish, who dreams of defeating Arakawa and conquering the world every day.

"Cough cough!"

Just then, Suzuka Gozen, who was standing to the side, waved to Shiki Eiki, signaling her to come over.

"senior?"

"Young Master Gu Yun has little interest in dominating others."

"I see."

Shiki Eiki quickly apologized, saying that she had become too arrogant after gaining power: "If my lord doesn't intend to do this, then..."

Shiki Eiki has seen many people like Gu Yun.

She has interrogated countless vengeful ghosts and wronged spirits, including heroes and great men from various eras. Therefore, Shiki Eiki understands that people with personalities know reason and will not feel disappointed just because Gu Yun chose to be a lazy bum.

To be honest, she never really wanted to conquer the world; she just wanted to show off in front of Gu Yun.

"No, what I mean is, you shouldn't tell Brother Gu Yun about this idea."

Suzuka's words were somewhat unexpected by Shiki Eiki. The leader of the shikigami pointed to Natsume Reiko, who was standing not far away, and said, "Reiko is now in charge of recording the shikigami's intentions. You can consult her."

"Forehead…"

Shiki Eiki was confused, but she still obediently went to find Natsume Reiko.

"You like conquering the world?"

Before Shiki Eiki could speak, Natsume Reiko asked, "Do you have a specific goal?"

As she said this, Natsume Reiko took out a notebook in which she recorded information about Shiki Eiki: "such as her hobbies, plans, and needs."

Under Gu Yun's command, the shikigami have very different ways of thinking due to their different factions.

Some shikigami have gentle personalities, such as Yingcao and Zashiki. They are well-behaved, have no ambition, and just like to live a carefree life.

Some shikigami also have their own ambitions and desires.

In such situations, Gu Yun usually wouldn't intervene.

As long as it doesn't cause anything too bad and doesn't violate Gu Yun's bottom line, he will pretend he didn't see it and choose to turn a blind eye.

Over the years, the shikigami under Gu Yun's command have basically operated in this way, and the Shangluo Clan was born from this.

If Shiki Eiki is interested, she could easily join the Kyoto faction and become a member of the conquest faction.

"When it comes to planning, I'm better at management."

The little Yama said, "So if I could, I would like to manage a large territory and educate more people."

If you had to ask Eiki Shiki to name one hobby, her number one choice would definitely be 'preaching'.

She loves to preach and never gets tired of it.

"I see. Then you are a very rare talent in the Shangluo team."

Although Natsume Reiko has only recently joined the Tanigumo family, she has not been idle over the years and has never lost contact with the Shangluo people.

On many occasions, Natsume Reiko would exchange information with the people of Kyoto and the Woko.

In this small corner of the world, Reiko played a significant role.

"Me? A rare talent?"

"Of course!"

Reiko Natsume sighed, "None of those guys are easy to deal with."

“If it’s about fighting, they’re all incredibly strong,” Reiko said with a sigh, “but if it’s anything else, they’re all just a burden.”

Of course, the burden here does not refer to life skills.

It's worth noting that many shikigami possess incredibly strong feminine qualities, such as Momiji, Senhime, and Hanabusa, who are equally adept at domestic duties and have exceptional housework skills.

What they are really not good at is managing people like Eiki Shiki.

Use words to influence and analyze the hearts of the people, restrain their desires, reward the good and punish the evil, and clearly distinguish right from wrong.

These are things they truly cannot do, are not good at, and are unwilling to spend time on.

Only a professionally trained Yama like Shiki Eiki would not see her as a problem and would act with ease.

"I'll introduce you to them later."

"Oh, right."

At this point, Reiko added, "There are quite a few people in the Kyoto Conquest Faction who have bad tempers, so you'll need to be more tolerant of them."

"Bad temper?"
