At this moment, Tenkuji Takeru finally heard the command to rest. His tense body suddenly went limp, and he hurriedly pulled his legs out from under his buttocks, straightened them, and pounded them vigorously. Just then, Tenkuji Ryu quietly left the hall. Although he said nothing, Tenkuji Takeru understood that he had gone to get food and drink to reward his two new ascetic disciples. He let out a long breath and looked at Gensou, saying:

"source......"

"Shoutaro."

"...Shotaro, what do you think we're doing here?"

At Gensou's prompting, Tenkuji Takeru subtly changed his tune and asked:

"Shouldn't we be looking for the person behind this change? Isn't it too much of a waste of time for me to train with my father?"

"Since it's because of that strange stone tablet, it's safest to start the investigation from there."

Gensou closed his eyes, listening to Tenkuji Ryu's footsteps, and explained to Tenkuji Mikoto in a low voice:

"And ever since I arrived here, I've felt quite strange. I feel uneasy all over, and I've been having some auditory hallucinations from time to time. I'm a little worried that this accident might also be related to me. Let's settle down for now and wait and see how things develop."

"Your factors?"

Tenkuuji Monk caught the key words, pondered for a moment, and realized that the vortex's gravitational pull was so strong that, logically speaking, he should have been pulled into the depths long ago. Yet, it had managed to drag him all the way to Gensou to rescue him. Thinking about it carefully, it was truly strange. With that thought, Tenkuuji Monk looked at the young man beside him and said softly:

"Do you have a grudge against the Eye Demons?"

"This... I don't think so. Even if I did, I don't remember."

Yuanxiang answered in a complicated tone, while subconsciously rubbing his arm. That strange feeling came back, as if octopus tentacles were wriggling there, giving him goosebumps.

"Alright, alright, come on, have something to eat and get some rest."

At that moment, Tenkuji Ryu walked in carrying a fruit platter, smiling broadly as he said:

"You guys are really great. No wonder you want to become detectives. Just keep going, and I believe..."

'飒'

Before Tenkuji Ryu could finish speaking, in the blink of an eye, Genji's figure suddenly disappeared from the Tenkuji father and son's sight. They subconsciously turned around and saw Genji land on the ground in a somersault, holding a strange arrow in his hand. But strange as it was, if this thing was stuck in the flesh, it would take a large chunk of flesh with it to remove it.

"Beholder!"

Tenkuji Ryu immediately recognized the source of the arrow. The axe, several meters away, flew directly into his hand with a casual flick of his wrist. He then tossed out a "Don't follow me!" and rushed out of the temple. Tenkuji Monk hurriedly stood up, wanting to say something to Genji, but found that Genji had also vanished. This left Tenkuji Monk dumbfounded. But no matter what, at least...

"Xiao Zun, don't be so unmotivated, let's go out and have some fun together."

Just as Tenkuji Takeru was thinking of running out to see if he could help, two small figures emerged from behind the temple. This made Tenkuji Takeru's expression become extremely subtle. Without a doubt, these were his former self and Tsukimura Akari. Encountering them at this moment was truly unexpected. Upon seeing Tenkuji Takeru, the two children subconsciously took two steps back and looked left and right. Undoubtedly, they were searching for Tenkuji Ryu's whereabouts.

"Um, you must be Takeru and Akari, right?"

Tenkuji Takeru crouched down with a slight chill, greeting them with a smile. He never imagined that one day he would have to coax himself into playing with his younger self. But before the two children could respond, Tenkuji Takeru suddenly felt the Eye Soul in his arms vibrate slightly. Instinctively, he took a step forward, protecting his younger self and Akari behind him. With a hand seal, the Ghost Driver immediately appeared at his waist.

"Come out, I've already noticed you."

Tenkuuji no Shou stopped laughing, staring coldly at the doorway and said in a deep voice:

"Should I ask you to come out?"

"Strange, strange, strange, really strange."

As Tenkuuji Takeru finished speaking, a distorted halo appeared at the temple gate, speaking in a sharp, incoherent voice:

"Why were you able to follow me? This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening..."

"........"

Tenkuji Takeru didn't speak to it. He recognized the eye demon; it was one of the murderers who had been harming people in Tokyo recently. However, its abilities were very strange, almost like an immortal being.

But Gensou said that there is no such thing as immortality. Immortality? It's just that you haven't killed enough people yet!

Thinking of this, Tenkuji Takeru silently completed his transformation, then took out the twin swords of Musashi's Eye Soul and charged towards the Eye Demon without saying a word. Of course, he did not forget his childhood self and Akari, and told them to hide quickly so as not to be affected by the aftershocks of the battle.

While Tenkuji Takeru was fighting the strange eye demon, outside the temple, Gengo spun around and kicked the eye demon that attacked from behind into the air. He then grabbed an enemy who was trying to surround Tenkuji Ryu and threw him up as well. The two eye demons collided in mid-air and turned into countless points of light that disappeared into the sky. At the same time, as these points of light completely disappeared, Gengo and Tenkuji Ryu also cleared out all the enemies in the surrounding area.

"Impressive skills."

Tenkuji Ryu wiped the sweat from his neck. If it weren't for Genji's help today, he would have been injured to deal with all these guys. Genji wiped his hands and said with a smile:

"Don't you want to be more careful about something?"

"unnecessary."

Tenkuji Ryu straightened up, tucked his axe into his waistband, and looked directly at Genji, saying:

“You have no intention of hiding anything. I already discovered this during the training. A detective like you doesn’t need any so-called training, at least not by coming to me specifically to train.”

"I'm really sorry, because of a little bit of hidden information, I was unable to be completely open with you just now. Please forgive me."

"So what's your real name?"

Tenkuji Ryu took Gengo's hand and, with the boy's help, pulled the dry branch stuck in his leg. Seeing that the wound wasn't deep, he didn't bother to treat it. He then looked at Gengo again and asked:

"I can't be kept in the dark all this time."

"I hope you won't ask any further questions about the name."

Yuanxiang thought for a moment, then said with some concern:

"Well, what we went through wasn't a huge deal, but it wasn't insignificant either, so let's go back to the temple first. I suppose the battle over there is over."

"A battle?! Oh no!"

Upon hearing this, Tenkuji Ryu was startled and shouted, running towards the Great Tenkuji Temple with all his might despite his injuries.

384 Was it really me?

Don't worry, my companions can handle that weirdo properly.

Gengo wanted to say that, but seeing how anxious Tenkuji Ryu was, he swallowed his words. After all, the thing that could make Tenkuji Ryu so nervous must be the young Tenkuji Takeru. So it was better not to say anything about something that concerned the safety of his family. Besides, he could only truly feel at ease after seeing it with his own eyes.

When Gengo and Tenkuji Ryu arrived at the Great Tenkuji Temple, the courtyard was indeed in a mess. However, judging from Tenkuji Takeru sitting there comforting his younger self and Tsukimura Akari, the battle just now should not have been too serious. After seeing this, Gengo heard Tenkuji Ryu let out a long sigh of relief, and then turned around and ran straight to the back of the temple.

Seeing this, Gensou raised an eyebrow, exchanged a glance with Tenkuji Takeru, and was about to set off to follow. However, Tenkuji Takeru seemed to have underestimated how clingy the two little guys were, and helplessly gave Gensou a look. The boy smiled and nodded, "I understand," and followed Tenkuji Ryu's figure all the way.

As expected, Tenkuji Ryu arrived at the temple's basement. The strange stone tablet still stood there, but what was more troubling was the presence of a strange half-circle engraving on it, resembling a twisted hook, emanating a rather ominous aura. Only after seeing that the engraving was still on the stone tablet did Tenkuji Ryu truly breathe a sigh of relief, turning to Genji and saying in a low voice:

"Did you and Philip come here just for this stone tablet?"

"To be precise, we were brought here by this stone tablet."

Gensou noticed the wariness in Tenkuuji Ryu's eyes and spoke frankly:

"We come from the future. This stone tablet suddenly created a spacetime vortex, which brought us here."

"........."

"This is real."

Yuanxiang helplessly shrugged, then tapped his head and said:

"If you don't believe me, I can project my memories onto you and show them to you."

"I believe it, I've always believed it."

Ok? !

Hearing Tenkuji Ryu's answer, Gengo sensed something strange. The man's tone was more like a sigh of relief, as if his years of perseverance had finally paid off, and a sigh of relief echoed in the basement.

"Let's go into the living room first."

Tenkuuji Ryu smiled gently and looked at Genjiro, saying:

"It seems this secret can end with my generation. Mr. Shotaro, please. Now, both of us should reveal our truths. I believe we will get the answers from each other."

"Okay, please."

Although he was surprised at what was going on, Gensou obediently followed Tenkuji Ryu into the living room. The old father glanced at Tenkuji Takeru, who was clinging to him, and gently rubbed his little head, saying:

"Xiao Zun, go find a place to play with Mingli. Daddy needs to talk to these two older brothers about something very, very important. Can you give Daddy some space and time?"

"Okay, Akari, let's go."

Young Tenkuji Takeru obediently nodded, then pulled Tsukimura Akari away. After watching the two children disappear from his senses, Tenkuji Ryu sat up straight, looked at Gensou and Tenkuji Takeru, and said in a deep voice:

"Now, could you tell me your real names?"

“My name is Gengo, and as for my identity... I am indeed the Fuuto Detective, but I am the Fuuto Detective from another world.”

Gengo took out the business card from his pocket again, this time without being modified by 'Luna's' power. Tenkuji Ryu took it with both hands and carefully read every word on it, as if he were reading some precious text. This made Gengo a little embarrassed. However, taking advantage of this moment, the boy silently looked at his companion beside him. Obviously, Tenkuji Takeru was still struggling with whether to reveal his identity. Gengo understood his concerns. Although he could still keep his expression calm now, once this secret was revealed, he might burst into tears in front of his father.

Moreover, he should also have the same concerns as me: if I reveal the news of my father's death here, it may lead to my father's irreversible death and create a dead end in the timeline.

However, in the end, seeing that Tenkuji Takeru seemed to have made up his mind, he raised his head and looked at Tenkuji Ryu, who was waiting for his reply, and said softly:

"My name is Tenkuji Takeru."

"Tenkuji-zun...zun?"

Tenkuuji Ryu subconsciously murmured the familiar name, then suddenly realized what he meant, staring wide-eyed at the boy before him. He truly hadn't expected the answer to be like this, but...

"Your Excellency, leave."

Tenkuji Ryuu put on a stern face and looked seriously at Tenkuji Mikoto, saying:

"Since you are my son, you don't need to stay here for now. Only one member of the Sky Temple family is needed. Leave now and be obedient."

"...Yes, Father."

Tenkuuji Takeru opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't refute anything. He stood up and left. Gensou noticed Tenkuuji Ryu's gaze, closed his eyes slightly, and then nodded, saying:

"No problem, now it's just the two of us left."

"Yuanxiang, have you ever heard of the Eye Soul?"

"Ah."

Gensou nodded, trying hard to recall the information he had heard from Tenkuuji Takeru, and answered softly:

"It contains the souls of heroes or great men in history and uses them to unleash various unique abilities; it can be said to be the 'eyes' that house the souls."

"Yes, you understand very well, but... have you ever considered that what is contained within the eye soul might not be the soul of a historical hero, but rather a so-called god?"

"???"

Gensho's hand, which was holding a teacup, suddenly paused. After last summer vacation, he had become quite the PDST of a god, so much so that upon hearing this, he instinctively felt that he should transform.

"Yuanxiang, do you know of the eight million gods?"

"Ah."
