People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Kanae and Shinobu, both skilled in medicine, were extremely nervous because they discovered that Yosuke's new body was just an empty shell; his heart wasn't beating, his organs weren't functioning, and his blood wasn't circulating.

As time went by, everyone's feelings gradually changed from anticipation to disappointment.

Inside the strange space, the system said to Yosuke, "Host, your body has been completely rebuilt. This body is not afraid of sunlight, has eliminated the drawbacks of a demon, and has retained the advantages of a demon. It can be said to be the closest to a perfect body!"

"Okay, thank you, system."

The system's figure gradually merged with Yosuke's, and said, "You're welcome. Please continue to guide me in the days to come. Now... wake up, host. Your companions are eagerly awaiting your return."

Outside, Yosuke's reconstructed body's heart began to beat.

The faint throbbing sound was especially clear in the silent environment where everyone held their breath.

The sound of that heartbeat was simply heavenly.

The heartbeat gradually became stronger, and then the blood, organs... everything gradually returned to normal.

As everyone waited in vain, Yosuke opened his eyes, still wearing that warm smile.

"Everyone... I'm back!"

Koyuki, Koume, Kanae Kocho, and Shinobu Kocho could no longer contain their emotions and burst into tears of joy.

Both Osamu and Gyutaro, two men who had almost never cried, had tears welling up in their eyes.

"Welcome back, Yosuke-sama!"

In this battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, the human side achieved a great victory.

The scattered demons that survived in various parts of the world were all reduced to ashes after the death of Muzan Kibutsuji, the Origin Demon King.

This is the nature of Muzan Kibutsuji; even in death, he takes all the demons with him.

Those present were unable to prevent this outcome.

In a short period of time, the only demons left in this world were Nezuko, who had been restored to human form; Iwakatsu Tsugikuni, who had overcome the sunlight; Tamayo and Yushiro, who had broken free from Muzan Kibutsuji's control; Osamu; Gyutaro; Koyuki; and Koume.

Oh, and there are also Chacha Maru (tea balls).

Back at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Kagaya Ubuyashiki convened a meeting of the Pillars.

"I extend my sincerest gratitude for risking my life to fight evil for the sake of humanity, dedicating myself wholeheartedly..."

All the surviving members of the Ubuyashiki clan knelt before everyone, expressing their gratitude.

"Please lift your head!"

"No need for formalities!"

Faced with their lord's kneeling gratitude, all the pillars were filled with trepidation.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked incredibly well at that moment. His previously pale face had regained some color, and the scars on his face were gradually fading. In other words, the curse on the Ubuyashiki clan's bloodline... had been lifted.

"Mr. Yosuke has something he wants to say to you."

Yosuke stepped forward and thanked everyone present, saying, "Thank you all so much. You never gave up on me when I was on the verge of death and saved me from the brink of it."

“Mr. Yangjie, you flatter us. Compared to us, you have been of great help to us.”

"Yes, Mr. Yosuke, without you, we might not have won this battle."

...

Yosuke said seriously, "Although it is very inappropriate now, I have to say this bad news."

Yang Jie looked at Beiming Island Xingming and asked, "Xingming, how are you feeling right now?"

After stretching his body, Himejima Gyomei said, "I feel great, very good, and I have no discomfort."

Yosuke nodded and said, "This is the worst news right now."

Kushiro Kuniyama solemnly said, "Yosuke, I know what you mean. The fact that Himejima Gyomei, at 27, is still alive after activating his Demon Slayer Mark means..."

"That's right. Himejima Gyomei, who was supposed to die if he activated his markings after the age of 25, survived. The reason is that the God Lord took the rules of life and escaped to another world, so no creature in that world will die anymore."

Zenitsu innocently said, "But...isn't this a good thing? Everyone can live happily together forever."

Tsugikuni Kokushi said solemnly, "Zenitsu, if a world has no death, it will naturally lose its balance, and then the end of the world will come soon, and it will be a future even darker than the age of demons."

“That’s right, so I want to pursue the God Lord and find back the true rules of life.”

"Master, are you going to other worlds? I want to go with you!" Butterfly said impatiently.

“No, I’m going alone this time. I don’t even plan to take them with me to treat them,” Yang Jie shook his head and refused.

Osamu frowned and asked, "Why, Lord Yosuke?"

"No one knows the specifics of that world; it may be extremely dangerous. So I want to go and explore it first, and then bring you over once everything is settled."

After pondering for a moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, "In that case, the Demon Slayer Corps will not be disbanded for the time being. After all, the crisis has not been resolved yet, and our Demon Slayer Corps is ready to go to support Mr. Yosuke at any time."

Chapter 149 A New World

Yosuke did not object to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's choice not to disband the Demon Slayer Corps.

If the world that the God fled from is indeed extremely dangerous, then the power of the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps will be needed.

"Alright, by the way, Kanae, Shinobu, you and Tamayo should focus on researching the Marks during this time. Activating the Marks to enter the Transparent World is a way to prematurely deplete one's lifespan to obtain the 'peak' of bodily functions."

In other words, when the body enters its 'peak period,' the side effects of the markings may disappear, and even when the natural laws of life return to normal, death will not occur.

Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho nodded in unison, saying, "We understand."

Almost everyone present had activated their markings; it would be such a pity if they could only live to be 25.

"Osamu, Gyutaro, Koyuki, Koume, get ready, I may summon you at any time."

Osamu and the others said with great enthusiasm, "We will be ready to await your summons, Lord Yosuke, anytime, anywhere!"

After explaining everything, Yosuke planned to set off immediately to pursue the God Lord, as the God Lord was now seriously injured, making it the best time to pursue him.

Yosuke silently called upon the system in his heart.

[Void positioning is now in progress, searching using the God Lord as the coordinates... Search complete, void channel is being constructed... Construction complete, void channel established, host may enter the void channel.]

A passage formed by countless rays of light appeared before Yosuke.

"Well then, I'll be going now!"

Yosuke stepped inside, and the passage behind him instantly closed.

Yosuke felt himself traveling at extremely high speed, and his whole body was dizzy due to the strong centrifugal force.

After an unknown amount of time, Yosuke felt himself stop.

Yosuke opened his tightly closed eyes, and the first thing he saw was a waterfall, followed by two giant statues standing opposite each other, the two statues making peculiar hand gestures.

Looking at this unfamiliar scene, Yosuke asked, "System, what kind of world is this?"

This is a world deeply influenced by the alien god O; even the native creatures of this world wield the power of O.

"God... could there really be a God?"

When a species evolves life or civilization to its ultimate state, possessing immense power with every gesture, it becomes a god. Ultimately, a god is simply a life form more advanced than humanity.

Yosuke was slightly annoyed: "But something like 'God O' sounds a bit troublesome."

The system suggested: "Indeed, the combat power of this world far surpasses that of yours, and it's highly likely that our movements have already been detected by those gods. The God Lord has also sensed our pursuit of this world and has gone into hiding. Therefore, I suggest you lie low for now and await an opportunity."

Then, just as Yosuke was about to leave the canyon and head to a populated area, the scene before him suddenly began to change, until he arrived at a unique space filled with water.

On the water's surface floated an old man with two horns, brown hair, wearing a white robe with six black magatama-shaped patterns on his chest and a red swirling symbol on his back, below which were arranged magatama in a nine-square grid.

The old man questioned Yang Jie in an unfriendly tone: "Outsider, what is your purpose in coming to our world?!"

Facing this old man, Yosuke, who frequently came into contact with souls, realized that the old man was also in soul form, and it seemed that this was the god that the system had mentioned.

Yosuke thought to himself that this was troublesome. He hadn't expected to be discovered by God O so soon after arriving in this world.

"I've come to hunt down a sinner who fled from our world, and I have no intention of disturbing the peace of this world."

"I am the Sage of Six Paths. You must be looking for a guy who calls himself a god, right?"

Yang Jie nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

Yosuke showed no hostility, which made the Sage of Six Paths lower his guard slightly: "Five years ago, I also sensed his arrival, and I shattered his physical body..."

Yosuke retorted, dumbfounded, "Wait! Five years ago?! But the time difference between him and me couldn't have been more than a day. How could so much time have passed? Are we not talking about the same person?"

The Sage of Six Paths was also somewhat confused and suspected that he was not talking about the same person as Yosuke, so he showed Yosuke a corpse.

"Look, is that him?"

Although the body was severely damaged, it was still clear that it belonged to the God.

"Yes, it's him, but... why am I five years younger than him?" Yosuke's mind was a complete mess.

The Sage of Six Paths speculated: "The flow of time is different in each world. Perhaps you have encountered a time torrent. When traveling through a time tunnel, due to the time difference between the two worlds, there is a certain chance that a time torrent will occur. Time in the time tunnel will either accelerate or slow down infinitely until you leave the time tunnel."

Yosuke reluctantly accepted this explanation, looking at the corpse of the sage with a mixture of amusement and despair. He hadn't expected that upon arriving in this world, the sage would already be dead. Was his mission complete? Could he go home now?

The Sage of Six Paths saw through Yosuke's thoughts and explained, "This guy called God Master did not truly die. His soul escaped and possessed someone in our world."

Yosuke's expression turned serious. Souls are difficult to find, let alone in this unfamiliar world.

"Outsider, what is your name?"

"Ubuyashiki Yosuke".

The Sage of Six Paths said gently, "I can sense the good and evil in people. Yang Jie, that god has great malice towards our world and is brewing a huge conspiracy. Some of the events that have happened in the past five years may very well involve him."

This world is about to experience some incredibly important events, and this world, which is riddled with holes because of my ancestors, will be reborn from the ashes, so there can be no carelessness.

I am now merely a soul, only able to serve as a guide, so I need your help to find the God and stop his plot!

Yosuke nodded seriously and said, "This is also the purpose of my coming into this world."

The Sage of Six Paths explained to Yosuke, "Our world is a world of ninjas. They can use an energy called chakra to release special techniques, mainly ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. Some powerful ninjas can even move mountains and fill seas."

Afterwards, the Sage of Six Paths gave a brief introduction to the distribution of countries in this world, the major powers involved, and the history before this.

Chapter 150 Conversation

With the Sage of Six Paths' explanation, Yosuke gained a general understanding of this world.
