The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

Su Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

He looked at the handsome Rengoku Senjuro.

I still remember the boy giving up sword practice because he wasn't good at the Flame Breathing technique.

He said, "I'm sorry, I almost hurt you and ruined your family."

Rengoku Senjuro said, "It's alright, this is just a small villa. We also have a large villa in Tokyo. And another place to stay in town."

"I didn't expect you to be so wealthy."

"This is all the family business accumulated by my father and eldest brother."

"I will pay for it, even though I don't have much money on me right now."

"Haha, it's nothing."

Rengoku Senjuro led Su Chen back to the next room.

This is another house belonging to the Purgatory family.

After settling his debts to his neighbor, Rengoku Makijuro bought a few bottles of sake.

He drank alone in his room.

Although Su Chen destroyed his home.

However, he did not refuse Su Chen entry into his home.

"How did you emit those two beams of light? They didn't seem like sword energy, and their power was so great, it was truly terrifying."

That's it.

Su Chen looked up at the sun.

Gradually, the power of the sun gathers at the location of the eyes.

Then two beams of heat were emitted.

Rengoku Senjuro was terrified.

"you......"

"I don't know how it came about, maybe it's a matter of my constitution."

"That's really amazing. If I could have that ability, I could become a qualified swordsman."

"To become a qualified swordsman, you rely on nothing but willpower."

"Are you saying that perseverance leads to victory?"

"Indeed, nothing in this world is difficult if you put your mind to it."

"But... but I've never been able to learn the family's Flame Breathing technique."

"Haha, if you can't learn Flame Breathing, there's always Water Breathing, right? There's also Lightning, Rock, Wind, Sound, Insect, Love, and so on. You don't have to stick to just one breathing technique. If one path doesn't work, you can try another. I can write you a letter recommending you to learn Water Breathing from Mr. Urokodaki."

"Really? Thank you so much, Brother Chen."

Su Chen sensed that the door to Rengoku Makijuro's room had been opened a crack.

Someone was peeping through the crack in the door.

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Suddenly, the door was opened.

Rengoku Makijuro emerged.

He looked coldly at Su Chen and Rengoku Senjuro.

He gave a cold laugh.

"This world belongs to geniuses. No matter how hard mediocre people try, they can only achieve a little bit of success and can never catch up with those who are exceptionally talented."

These words were spoken.

Rengoku Senjuro's expression darkened.

The confidence that Su Chen had given her instantly vanished.

Su Chen shook his head and said, "Mr. Purgatory, I do not agree with your statement."

"Oh? You're a genius yourself, able to harness the power of the sun, so naturally you have the right to make sarcastic remarks."

"That's not it. Perhaps you've been through some things that have given you this pessimistic outlook. But I think there's someone whose experiences have been far more tragic, frustrating, powerless, and painful than yours, and that person is precisely the exceptionally talented one you mentioned. In my opinion, he is the most exceptionally talented person in the world."

Rengoku Makijuro frowned and asked, "Who is he?"

Su Chen said, "His name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the founder of Sun Breathing, the progenitor of all breathing techniques in the world, and a legendary figure known as the Destiny Swordsman."

These words were spoken.

Rengoku Makijuro's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.

Su Chen then recounted Yoriichi Tsugikuni's life story.

Sengoku Tsugikuni's second son, his twin brother was Tsugikuni Kokushibo (who later became Upper Moon One, Kokushibo). He was born with a forehead mark and the ability to see the transparent world, which his father considered an omen of bad luck, and his mother risked her life to protect him. At the age of 10, he made a vow to become a monk. After leaving home, he met his wife, Uta. When they were about to have a child, Uta and her unborn child were killed by demons, which became the direct reason for him to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

The creator and perfect user of Sun Breathing, the source of all derivative breathing techniques, and possessing 13 sword skills.

Born with markings and a transparent world, he is the only swordsman who, despite having his markings activated, broke the curse of dying young at 25 and lived to be over 80.

He once forced Muzan Kibutsuji to self-destruct into more than 1800 pieces before escaping, and was the human Muzan feared the most; even in his later years, he was still able to severely injure his brother Kokushibo, who had become Upper Moon One.

He is widely recognized as the strongest swordsman in the history of Demon Slayer, the pinnacle of combat power. The ancestors of swordsmiths used him as the model to create the "Yoji Type-0" doll.

He was misunderstood and expelled by the Demon Slayer Corps, and lived a solitary life in his later years.

Finally, Su Chen concluded, "Although he was a chosen one, he considered himself incompetent. Not only could he not protect his wife, but even his brother became a demon. He possessed the strongest fighting power, yet he was outmaneuvered by Muzan Kibutsuji and ultimately expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps, left utterly alone and destitute. Therefore, the most important thing for a person is not talent, but how they perceive themselves. Do what you can with the ability you have. Without the Demon Slayer Corps who have silently dedicated themselves for thousands of years, countless humans would have perished, and this land might have become a domain of demons. Can we really say their existence is meaningless?"

After listening, Rengoku Makijuro remained silent for a long time.

He read the notes of the first Flame Pillar.

They knew of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's existence.

However, they did not know about Yoriichi Tsugikuni's life.

I've always thought that Flame Breathing was just a poor imitation of Sun Breathing.

But now I realize that although the Breath of the Sun is very powerful, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's experience was extremely tragic.

He suddenly realized that Su Chen was right.

Even the most gifted person will eventually be lost in the long river of time.

To be born into this world knowing what you should do and what you are capable of doing, and having a healthy body and ample time to do these things, is already an immense blessing.

Why pursue anything else?

He suddenly sighed and said, "Don't flaunt your ability to use the power of the sun in front of others. You can't tell anyone about this, understand?"

Su Chen nodded.

Rengoku Makijuro sat down, holding a bottle of sake in his hand.

He somehow pulled out two more bottles of wine.

He handed a bottle to Su Chen.

He handed a bottle to Rengoku Senjuro.

Su Chen took it.

Rengoku Senjuro refused.

This greatly displeased Rengoku Makijuro, who let out a cold snort.

Su Chen raised his wine bottle, clinked it against Rengoku Makijuro's, and took a big gulp.

The wine was fragrant but not strong.

It tastes a little sweet.

This is homemade wine, and it tastes great.

"What you are emitting is the power of the sun, which has a great restraining effect on evil spirits."

"But your own strength is far from enough. Only by becoming a Pillar will you have the power to protect yourself."

"Once word gets out that you can unleash the power of the sun, I guarantee that all the evil spirits in the world will hunt you down."

"Therefore, I'm telling you that you can't tell anyone from now on, not even your master, Urokodaki Sakonji."

Rengoku Makijuro's tone was no longer barbed.

His inner conflict has been resolved.
