I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Now, holding the Shikon Jewel, Naraku felt like he was holding a hot potato.

After all, having this would attract Bai Ye's attention.

"What?! Didn't you have ambition back then? Are you scared now? If you're scared, then hand me over."

Qu Ling's voice was also transmitted directly from the Shikon Jewel into Naraku's mind.

When he was created, Seimei had already envisioned not hiding the spirit within him.

After all, Naraku could never get rid of the spirit.

He needs to rely on the Shikon Jewel to become stronger.

"Actually, everyone is just taking advantage of relationships."

Naraku neither confirmed nor denied that he was afraid.

If you weren't afraid of that scene, then you'd be a ghost.

In Naraku's view, everyone was just using each other. The reason why Seimei created a purely evil Shikon Jewel for himself was simply because Seimei was also afraid of failure.

He said he would win, but deep down he wasn't sure. Otherwise, why would he have created the Shikon Jewel?!

Seimei also saw through Naraku's hidden ambition.

At that time, Seimei's only thought was to use him. If he failed, then he would take Seimei's place and continue to be the enemy of Byakuya.

If Naraku is to hand over the Shikon Jewel.

He absolutely will not hand it over.

This was Naraku's only chance to become stronger. After witnessing Byakuya's power, Naraku developed an even greater obsession with power.

"Are you really sure I can handle Bai Ye?"

Naraku will not hand over the Shikon Jewel.

However, Naraku wasn't entirely sure whether he could become enemies with Byakuya.

"Why would that guy choose you? That's really strange."

Qu Ling muttered a dissatisfied remark, genuinely puzzled as to why Seimei would choose to give the jade to Naraku.

There are clearly better options.

He had his eye on the Grim Reaper, since he had a conflict with the dog demon clan.

His path to the underworld originally belonged to him, but it was taken away by Inu no Taisho.

How powerful is the underworld of the Grim Reaper?

If you get hit, it's basically the same as being dead.

In Qu Ling's opinion, he was the most suitable choice.

However, it was assigned to Naraku when it was first created.

Although Qu Ling is no longer Seimei, it is a Shikon Jewel with a fusion of numerous negative emotions, plus some special methods.

This jewel was evil from birth, and it is no longer Seimei.

This is why he felt some regret for his past actions when he was defeated in Heian-kyo, and even doubted whether he had done the right thing.

Because some of his evil thoughts had been extracted and entered into the Shikon Jewel.

Seimei was not purely evil; he also possessed his own good intentions.

"Is it strange? Actually, I'm quite strange too."

Naraku was also somewhat puzzled by Seimei's choice.

He didn't understand why Seimei would choose him.

I wonder what else I have that Seimei has taken a liking to, besides my ambition?

"Heh, a guy who can't even recognize himself."

Qu Ling made a sarcastic remark.

"My ambition dictates that I will not hand you over to Bai Ye. Similarly, I am weak, so I will not rashly appear before Bai Ye. If the Death God Demon obtains the Shikon Jewel, or if other great demons obtain it, then they will definitely seek out the Dog Demon Clan."

Naraku wasn't entirely brainless; he probably guessed it this way.

"That's true, Death Ghost is indeed quite arrogant."

Qu Ling thought about it and realized that if she were in the hands of the Grim Reaper now, he might soon seek revenge on Bai Ye.

Right

Perhaps this is how Seimei chose his people.

This person doesn't need to be exceptionally capable, but they must be ambitious and also able to endure hardship.

If both conditions are met, as long as the Shikon Jewel exists, he will continue to evolve until he becomes a perfect youkai.

That guy won't be able to do without me then.

Qu Ling thought to herself, and then said nothing more.

Naraku, this demon, does seem to be a pretty good choice.

"I'm leaving. Heian-kyo is gone. From now on, it will be the era of Naraku."

Naraku made no attempt to hide his ambition.

What he needs is time.

Naraku also believed that he would not lose to Byakuya in the future.

He wants to become the strongest monster.

"The White Demon is amazing! He took down Seimei all by himself, and he even brought back a priestess and a celestial maiden!"

Can't you speak normally?

Bai Ye stared at Ling Yue Xian Ji with an expressionless face.

Shen Jiuye had nowhere to go, and with the city full of tricks, she was afraid of being swallowed up by something again.

So before returning to Takamagahara, she decided to stay with Byakuya.

Kikyo was not a shrine maiden who stayed in the village.

If it weren't for the Shikon Jewel, she would have been traveling around the Warring States period.

Now that she knows the gods in Takamagahara are plotting something, she has decided to join their ranks.

After returning to the village and explaining things to Kaede, Kikyo also embarked on this journey.

Her goal had always been to save all living beings, at least that was her aim at this moment.

So when Bai Ye brought the two of them back, he had already thought that Ling Yue Xian Ji would definitely tease him.

This woman has always been so cunning.

"Sigh, growing up really does change things, *crying*"

"Can you please stop pretending to be young?!"

Who are they trying to impress with this?!

Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.

"Men really do like young girls!"

"."

What a scam.

What does it matter if you accidentally hurt yourself?

Dog General coughed lightly, feeling as if Lingyue Fairy's words were a veiled criticism of him.

He simply pretended not to hear anything, his eyes darting around so he wouldn't look at them.

"A boring relationship."

Sesshomaru couldn't understand why Byakuya, a dog demon, could improve his strength so rapidly while dating.

The difference between demons can sometimes be greater than the difference between demons and humans.

Why don't you try it yourself?

Sesshomaru immediately dismissed the idea as soon as it crossed his mind.

He doesn't need feelings.

However, this bad habit started with Inu no Taisho.

Thinking of this, Sesshomaru subconsciously glanced at Inu no Taisho.

Everyone else was looking at Inu no Taisho without prior agreement.

Lingyue Fairy had just chosen Dog General, so naturally her gaze remained fixed on him.

Byakuya wanted Inu no Taisho to come out and resolve the issue, so he simply watched him.

"How is Seimei's situation?"

When Dog General saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

But he also knew that he couldn't avoid it any longer.

That was the only way he could ask.

"Ah"

Lingyue Fairy smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Some things are fine to say casually; dwelling on them gets pointless.

"It's resolved. Those guys from Takamagahara came down using Seimei's body, and they've also figured out that the seal on the Sacred Tree is weakening!"

He had already shared some of the information from these investigations with Mingjia when he came to him.

After finding Kagami Kuya, they obtained all the information about this place.

"I know that the seal on Takamagahara has been weakened. It seems we must be prepared."
