Ultimate Life Begins with Injustice

Tian Yuan.

As the guardian deity of Japan's protective barrier, she is undoubtedly a very qualified being, and can even be described as a loving mother.

By simply feeding her star slurry to refresh her body, she can provide a great deal of help to the world of sorcery.

Intelligence, cursed objects, barriers, seals.

This kind of assistance is like turning the game's difficulty down from hell to half for sorcerers, eliminating the need to painstakingly research complex barrier spells, based on the Heavenly Primal Elements.

But is that really the case?

With a lifespan so long as to be almost infinite, a stellar body will inevitably appear, and six eyes will inevitably protect the stellar body.

If these conditions are met, what will be the "constraints" involved?

It should be noted that Lu Suo killed both the Star Essence and the Six-Eyed within a month of their appearance.

But on the day of assimilation, both the Six-Eyed and the Star Essence appeared beside Tianyuan.

This is an extremely difficult condition to solve, which means that there must be a six-eyed protective star magma body that escorts it to Tianyuan's side for assimilation.

The Death Returns, in a city like Tokyo with a dense population and a high concentration of cursed spirits, have two entire barriers that reach to the heavens and the earth.

However, there is no barrier in Hokkaido.

In other words, Hokkaido does not need to "adapt" at all to complete the assimilation of humans and Tengen in the Ryousaku Project.

For the high school students, the primary goals are to unseal Gojo Satoru and save Fushiguro Megumi's sister, Tsumiki; their scores are the only thing on their minds.

But Suren was different. For him, whether Gojo Satoru was unsealed or whether Tsumiki was alive was not important.

The only thing he cared about was whether Lu Suo's plan could succeed, and whether a great cursed spirit born from the malice of a hundred million people could truly be created.

Therefore, he can see many blind spots in thinking that cannot be seen in higher vocational education.

Is there no overlap between the Japanese authorities and the high-ranking members of the sorcery world?

Even a fool would have come to the same conclusion.

It's quite simple. The Panxing Cult, being a group of mortals, knew of the existence of Tianyuan and worshipped it. They even spent a large sum of money to assassinate the Starmaw in order to maintain the "purity" of Tianyuan.

The curse casters even have a website to check the amount and deadline of this bounty.

Japan has numerous churches and various denominations, and politicians always try to maintain good relations with these large churches in order to gain more votes.

Of course, the creation and dissemination of a website, which does not require any "techniques," will be seen by government departments with the necessary authority.

This makes sense in the strange request from the higher-ups in the sorcery world, who have no experience in sorcery, to issue tasks.

This is, of course, a specific adjustment made by the Japanese authorities regarding the "region".

After all, cursed spirits can be considered "resources." Eliminating cursed spirits means reducing the negative impact on humanity, which can be considered a political achievement during one's term in office.

So, what's the difference between Hokkaido and Tengen, which can now be directly assimilated?

Suren frowned. He could still remember the details of the work itself, but parts involving history, or even myths and legends, were his weakness.

"I see, the power of the curse. So, as long as we use the [curse], we can destroy the [curse], right?"

Yamashiro was toying with a small dagger in his hand; it was a first-class magical tool that Maki had brought from the Zen temple—the Uchigatari.

Its function is to deliver a shockwave upon impact, paralyzing the opponent's muscles, bones, and even nerves.

However, the side effect is that it amplifies the holder's fear of the cursed spirit, making it almost unusable by ordinary sorcerers.

However, those on the mountain, who cannot see the cursed spirit, may actually determine its approximate location due to the amplified fear.

Even in extreme fear, he could still see the full form of the cursed spirit.

"You just told me that throughout the entire country, there are barriers set up by an immortal sorcerer called 'Tianyuan,' and there is also a sorcerer called 'Lusuo,' who has lived for over a thousand years, right?"

The man on the mountain had a deep look in his eyes, and Suren couldn't understand what he meant.

"So this proves that immortality does indeed exist and is achievable, right?"

Only after he stopped did Suren understand what he meant.

They were in a desolate gathering place—originally intended for an important speech, so the place had been prepared the night before the Death Return event began.

"A cult that worships immortality?"

Suren gently stroked his chin, scanning the posters and slogans in the room. He did recognize this politician, or rather, it was hard not to hear about him.

This explains why the scene was arranged so meticulously, yet there were almost no traces of cursed spirits or sorcerers.

Such a spot, so clean that no trace of magical energy remained, with only messy footprints left, was indeed difficult to find within the barrier.

This also confirms Suren's suspicion that the higher-ups in the sorcery, namely the Directorate General, are definitely colluding with the authorities.

The fate of the key figures in the authorities is unknown, but they are probably in a safe zone protected by sorcerers, provided with points by non-sorcerer swimmers, and even have abundant supplies.

It's just that the barrier blocks the signal, making it impossible to contact the outside world.

"But your reasoning is wrong. Immortality is not the goal or the end of a long journey; it's more like... bait."

"Bait?"

Shan Shang frowned.

"The so-called immortality, whether it is a thousand years or ten thousand years, is a goal that is so grand that even if you spend so much time, you cannot catch up with it."

"This isn't some kind of ant moving a mountain or Jingwei filling the sea, where you can see hope someday through repetitive labor."

"The success of an ordinary person, who strives with all his might throughout his life, is merely enough to save a true genius the time it takes to drink an afternoon tea. And what geniuses have to do is far more significant than that."

"Both Tianyuan and Lusuo need to sacrifice the lives of others to prolong their lifespans, but their purposes for prolonging lifespans are different."

Suren tore off a poster and quietly examined the man's confident smile on it.

Too much time had passed, and although the site remained intact, the traces had become very faint, so faint that Suren could hardly detect them.

"Jade Dog".

He rarely called out the name of a shikigami, and seriously made a hand shadow gesture. Immediately, a large white dog emerged from his shadow.

He patted the white jade dog's head, signaling it to sniff the scene.

Suren didn't know if he was on the right track. Perhaps he should have observed more sorcerers and gathered more spells and information to enhance himself.

But now, more than strengthening himself, he is curious about what lies behind all of this and what the ultimate goal is.

"So, in order to accomplish this great feat that even geniuses could not achieve in the long river of time, they used the guise of 'immortality' to keep those attracted by infinite life supplying them with nourishment."

"And having lost the nutrients that should have been used to survive, these people continue to bring about death, and even more terrible despair than death."

The mountain that had been silent for so long finally slowly raised its head, and to Suren's surprise, magical power surged from its body!

But he still picked up on what the person on the mountain was saying.

"Yes, this is why those who seek immortality die quickly."
