Simultaneous Transmigration: We Share a Role-Playing System
Chapter 61 Tianyuan: Brother Long, you're not dead?
Sukuna's speech gradually cooled the atmosphere. Just before the silence filled in, Gojo Satoru suddenly spoke:
"Last night, I dealt with a particularly large super-grade cursed spirit. It was created by the locals based on a legend from the Warring States period about two princes from opposing kingdoms who fell in love with each other and a public official who died for love. However, I only removed the cursed spirit of the princess."
Upon hearing this familiar story, memories from Kinta Keiryu were triggered, and Locke almost instinctively said:
"A vengeful ghost?"
"So you knew all along?"
Upon hearing the other party's reaction, Gojo Satoru's eyes instantly changed. Both Ryoumen Sukuna's words and the vengeful curse of the vengeful spirit that had been exorcised before made him believe Locke's identity.
Gojo Satoru's answer quickly calmed Locke down. Although he was still puzzled, he replied normally:
"Kishida Kyoryu sealed them away, and he sealed them separately. Did you encounter a love ghost?"
"A ghost lover? Probably. I defeated her, but she still cursed me like a gossipy old woman, saying I'd be alone forever and stuff, blah blah blah..."
After recalling the ghost in Kinta Keiryu's memories, Locke nodded in agreement.
"Ha, that really matches my impression of her."
From this moment on, Gojo Satoru had basically confirmed Locke's identity and relaxed to think about another question: what Locke's appearance meant for the world of jutsu.
A figure from a thousand years ago, a swordsman who wandered the world, sealed and exterminated many cursed spirits, including Ryoumen Sukuna, is clearly on their side, and he doesn't look like the stereotypical old-fashioned person.
At this moment, Gojo Satoru felt as if he was about to be relieved of a tremendous burden. He had always carried the title of the strongest, and had long been known as a monster, bearing the weight of everything.
And now, he has a vague feeling that perhaps in the time to come, he will finally be able to get rid of this "curse" called the strongest.
"Three months ago, all the cursed spirits in the country were strengthened on a large scale, with an intensity greater than when I was born. I also heard that Lord Tianyuan said that this fluctuation was very unusual."
Gojo Satoru's tone was calm, but a hint of barely perceptible speculation lingered in his eyes. He lightly hooked his blindfold with his fingertip, pulling it down slightly to reveal his clear yet sharp azure eyes. His gaze remained steady on Locke as he continued slowly:
"And last night, the cursed spirits across the country rioted on a large scale. Special-grade and first-grade cursed spirits appeared at will, possibly exceeding the total number of the past few decades. May I ask a question?"
"Do you know what happened?"
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ——
In Tokyo, at the High School of Curses, in the Hōsei Palace, the owner of the immortality technique, the maintainer of the national barrier, and an indispensable figure in the world of curses, the thousand-year-old woman Tengen, is now troubled by a series of memories that did not originally exist, just like the cursed spirits.
As the same generation of magic techniques as Lu Suo, the biggest mastermind behind the scenes in the original work, the relationship between Tianyuan and Lu Suo is also very subtle.
Their techniques allow them to survive in endless time, but the difference lies in the fact that Lu Suo achieves this by switching bodies, while Tian Yuan is born immortal.
However, immortality does not mean immortality. After aging to its limit, Tianyuan's techniques will allow her to evolve to a higher level, thus fulfilling the concept of immortality.
Therefore, Tianyuan had to find the Celestial Essence to assimilate in order to avoid evolving to a higher level, breaking away from humanity, and standing on the other side of humanity.
Unfortunately, due to the failure of assimilation twelve years ago, she is now aging extremely rapidly, and her body has evolved to be closer to the cursed spirit, and is even gradually assimilating with heaven and earth.
This gave her a deeper understanding of the world's changes, and she also saw more things related to Jintian Jinglong.
Those terrifying, gigantic monsters, alien beings that fell from the sky, world-destroying monsters, extradimensional creatures, and powerful sorcerers whose existence was also erased.
Demon King Onijuro.
As a sorcerer who has lived for a thousand years, Tengen's understanding of sorcery and this world surpasses that of everyone, including Ryouso.
Therefore, unlike Su Nuo, she wouldn't determine the other person's identity based solely on unfounded conjecture, and wouldn't be certain that her guess was absolutely correct.
However, as a thousand-year-old witch, she found it difficult to understand things beyond her cognitive limits, let alone guess that Locke, the real Kui, would allow imposters to impersonate the real Kui.
Therefore, she could only draw a reasonable conclusion based on her own understanding: there was someone with ancient magical knowledge superior to hers who used some means to change history and understanding.
She first considered Lu Suo, but quickly ruled him out. Lu Suo alone could not possibly do it unless... she was also involved, along with some kind of extraordinary magical artifact.
That's right, that makes sense. She sealed away the relevant memories herself and, together with Lu Suo, erased the proof of their existence.
As for why she did this, it might be related to Nishikida Keiryu's own will. He was simply too strong, so strong that any one of the monsters she remembered fighting against Nishikida Keiryu was a natural disaster that the world of sorcery could not contend with.
It's fine when he's around, but what if those powerful monsters born because of him are reborn after he dies?
Just like Gojo Satoru alone possesses 70% of the power in the entire world of curses, even if the world were to balance humans and curses, all the cursed spirits combined would still be no match for Gojo Satoru alone.
The reason is simple: once the quality exceeds a certain threshold, the quantity becomes meaningless.
If this situation were reversed, wouldn't the whole world be doomed?
This was the only reason Tianyuan could foresee that she would be willing to participate. The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and she couldn't wait to prove her conjecture.
If all of this is true, in an era where Nishikita Keiryu is dead and his rivals keep returning, can Gojo Satoru defeat those terrifying monsters?
Without a doubt, the answer is no; she must consider the future of humanity.
"Lord Tengen, Gojo Satoru wants to bring someone over to see us. He says that person was the reincarnation of an ancient demon-slaying swordsman named Nishikita Kojuro Keiryu."
Tengen: "?"
In an instant, all of Tianyuan's worries and anxieties vanished, and the wrinkles in his cursed cerebral cortex seemed to be smoothed out.
Dad, you're not dead?
