The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

A young man dressed in the kind of white exercise clothes that elderly people wear when exercising in the park skillfully picked up the teapot in front of him and slowly brewed tea like a seasoned tea master.

Slow and leisurely, every move is so captivating that it makes you want to immerse yourself in it.

Then, in the next instant, a tinkling sound of bells came from the doorway.

The man did not get up, but took out several empty teacups and placed them around the round table. He then poured the freshly brewed Kung Fu tea into the small teacups that had also just been placed there.

It seemed they had anticipated that someone would come, and who that person would be.

"You seem to have it easy," a young man who looked to be around twenty years old, but whose eyes were filled with a sense of vicissitude, said with a sigh as he sat down in one of the empty seats.

"Why are you here so early today?" the host greeted with a smile.

"Don't you know me? Ever since I was sealed by the Supreme Being, I've had nothing to do but lord it over in my own little corner of the world. Plus, things were a bit noisy at home today, and I didn't want to listen to their arguing, so I came over first." With that, the person picked up the teacup in front of him, tilted his head back, and drank the tea in it.

"Yes, who could have imagined that the world would change so quickly? In just two or three years, we have become heretics and need to be sealed away." The master shook his head, feeling quite empathetic.

"Who says otherwise..."

Then the two changed the subject, chatting about everyday things, like why the woman in your family argues, or why the woman in your family doesn't argue—things that sound very strange to others, but are actually quite true, until the doorbell rang again in the silence…

"Hey, Chen Xicheng, you're here early today." The newcomer also had a young face, but unlike the first person to arrive who looked young but full of vicissitudes, this newcomer not only had a friendly smile, but also exuded an extremely strong mysterious aura. He didn't make any unnecessary movements, but every move he made always gave people the feeling that he was facing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, making it impossible for people to take their eyes off him.

“Aren’t you the same? You actually came directly in your true form. Aren’t you afraid that your divine kingdom will be attacked, Zhou Chao?” The first person to arrive, Chen Xicheng, whom Zhou Chao mentioned, asked.

"Do you still think of me as I was back then? I have long since ascended to the highest dimension and become a member of the supreme god lineage. As long as I don't recklessly provoke those inexplicable extraterrestrial gods, ordinary deities can't threaten my divine kingdom," Zhou Chao replied confidently.

"So what? Aren't we still sealed away by the Supreme Being, just like us?" Chen Xicheng bluntly revealed.

Zhou Chao's expression froze for a moment, and he awkwardly picked up the teacup in front of him.

"By the way, where are Zhong Tu, Lao Qin, and Lance? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Zhou Chao asked, changing the subject after taking a sip of tea.

"Zhong Tu encountered the Zerg and is dealing with it. He said he'd be arriving a little later. Old Qin doesn't know, but he should be here soon. As for Lance, he said he went to pick up Ishihara Zhang," Wang Chao, the host, explained.

"He went to pick up Ishihara Sho? That young man hasn't transcended yet?" Zhou Chao asked in surprise.

“After all, he is not a real Heavenly Demon. He is just a fake Heavenly Demon who inherited the Nightmare Blood refined by Lance and was designed by Old Chen. He went down the wrong path from the beginning. Although he has reached the Taiyi level, as long as he has not found his true self and discovered everything, he will not be able to break free from the confinement. So…” Wang Chao shrugged.

"I knew it! The Nightmare bloodline is pretty good, but Old Chen and Old Qin insisted on saying that the Nightmare bloodline isn't as prestigious as the Heavenly Demon bloodline. They added some ridiculous and nonsensical settings, and now look what's happened. We need Lance to pull us out, what a waste of time and energy," Zhou Chao complained with some dissatisfaction.

"By the way, how's the situation on your end?" Wang Chao asked.

"It's already started. He's currently in the world where Machine-Doll Girl Can't Get Hurt. I wonder when he'll be able to break all the seals on the Destiny Coins I left for him and get the gift I gave him," Zhou Chao said with a smirk.

“Then let’s take our time. Anyway, at our level, the one thing we have plenty of is time,” Wang Chao said with a smile.

"I wonder how well he'll perform, and whether he can reach the level I had when I first debuted," Chen Xicheng chimed in from the side.

"Who knows? After all, the original body has had its edges worn away by time, and its mind has become more and more Buddhist. It's unlikely that it can be as passionate and enthusiastic as when it created you and me. It can only barely maintain a normal life. As for playing ranked matches or competing for rankings, that's absolutely impossible." Zhou Chao shook his head and said.

"It's as if we were qualified to compete for the Heavenly Ladder back then," Chen Xicheng sighed.

"Gentlemen, everyone is here." At this moment, as the doorbell rang, a young man with a somewhat dignified appearance and a dazzling aura walked into the house, greeting Chen Xicheng, Zhou Chao, and Wang Chao, who was the host, with a smile.

"You're late today," Zhou Chao replied with a smile.

"Sorry, sorry, something came up just before I left. Where are Zhong Tu and Lance?"

"Zhongtu encountered the Zerg and is dealing with it. Lance went to pick up Shiyuan Zhang," Wang Chao repeated.

"The Zerg, huh? I didn't expect it to affect Zhongtu so quickly." Old Qin, Qin Heqing, said, picking up the teacup in front of him.

“After all, they are Zerg,” Chen Xicheng said.

"That makes sense, after all, they are Zerg."

Not long after, a young man with a wicked smile on his face, who didn't seem like a respectable person, entered the house one after the other with Ishihara Akira.

"Come, let me introduce you. This guy over here, dressed like an old man in the park, is the owner of this place, the Dimensional Demon King Wang Chao. And this one next to him is our group's leader, the Lord of the Rubik's Cube World, Chen Xicheng. Then there's the Supreme Mage Zhou Chao, the Lord of the Modern Heavenly Court Qin Heqing, and me, this street urchin from the Void Sea." The newcomer, Lance, stood by the table and introduced Wang Chao, Chen Xicheng, Zhou Chao, and Qin Heqing one by one.

"Sit down. Everyone here is an outsider, an evolution of one aspect of the original self. So, if we're really talking about it, we're practically brothers." Wang Chao stood up, pulled over a chair, and pressed the somewhat bewildered Shi Yuanzhang into the chair, chuckling softly.
