From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

They lacked the courage to commit suicide.

"Then I'll change the terms of the deal. Do you want power?" Muzan saw through the emperor's cowardice and offered another bargaining chip.

"Power? To become an Outcast?"

Puyi laughed, but it was a very sad laugh. "Even the power of a superhuman can't withstand guns and cannons. Even that 'sage' from Yuhang was helpless against the Japanese. Otherwise, how could this dynasty have been established?"

"What I'm giving you isn't the weak power of an Outcast."

Muzan also knew something about the Inhumans of this world: a group of ability users who could utilize life energy, but were essentially still belonging to the lower species of humans.

Similar to the Demon Slayer Corps members from his original world.

"What I'm giving you is power beyond human capabilities! The power to regenerate even if your entire head is shattered!" Muzan said, then smashed his own head with a punch, and a new head grew back in the fearful, horrified, and longing eyes of the Last Emperor.

"That's the power!"

"Do you want to?"

The emperor smacked his lips, gritted his teeth, and asked, "What do you need me to give in return?"

"Just follow my orders when necessary."

Compared to Muto, Muzan would not back down when it came to this puppet emperor.

"this···"

The emperor believed that this was still being a puppet, just with a different person.

But Muzan said, "An emperor with power can earn more respect from Mutou, don't you think? Emperor."

In an instant.

The emperor was stunned, then lowered his head, tacitly agreeing with Muzan's words, and drank his blood, transforming into a demon...

···

After the halo disappeared, Jiang Liu said leisurely, "They were turned into demons by Muzan and invited by him to become members of the East Blue Team."

If Muzan dies, the two people he turned into demons will also die.

Although you were also transformed into a demon due to the influence of Muzan's blood, you were largely restored by the Main God Space and became an independent being, rather than his appendage.

Nezuko found Jiang Liu's methods unbelievable, but she didn't care whether she had enough reward points to offset the God's annihilation. She just smiled and said, "If my death can be exchanged for Muzan Kibutsuji's demise, I will not hesitate at all."

Some members of the Central Team actually agreed with Nezuko's beliefs.

But Jiang Liu's eyes remained completely calm. He simply picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip.

The same goes for Hong Guniang, Bai Yuekui, Liu Guniang, and Lu Jin; they all seem to lack human emotions and are unable to empathize with Nezuko.

"A foolish idea."

Setting down his teacup, Jiang Liu remarked, "I once heard someone say that a person's appearance is determined by the land that nurtures them. The Japanese, raised on that narrow and often turbulent land, also have narrow minds; they can only see fleeting moments of brilliance, nothing more..."

Looking at it now...

Indeed, it was true.

Nezuko glared at her and retorted, "It's not that I can only see that fleeting brilliance, I just... I just want my death to be more meaningful."

"Are you some kind of special person? A superhero who can save people from dire straits? A great scientist who can invent scientific technologies that benefit mankind? Or a leader who can lead humanity to a glorious future?"

Faced with Jiang Liu's questions, Nezuko opened her mouth, but dared not say that she could be compared with heroes, scientists, or human leaders.

"The only meaning of death is to return to nature, nothing more."

Jiang Liu said calmly, "The meaning you speak of does exist for humanity as a whole, but you have never truly lived, so how dare you say that your death has any meaning?"

Nezuko opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, because she had never thought about what Jiang Liu was saying before.

The meaning of life, the meaning of living, the meaning of death...

“You’re right. From the moment I became a ghost, I’ve never truly lived… I don’t even know if I can still be considered human.”

Nezuko has completely transformed into a demon, growing to the appearance of someone in their twenties. Her entire body is covered with willow-leaf-shaped patterns, and a single horn has grown from her right forehead, giving her an eerie beauty.

Seeing this, the Nakazu team immediately perked up, ready to kill Nezuko at any moment.

But Nezuko only stared at Jiang Liu, "But I want to kill Muzan, no matter the cost, I'm willing!"

"so--"

"Please kill Muzan!"

Nezuko stood up abruptly, bowed ninety degrees to Jiang Liu, her attitude pleading, almost shouting.

"The fact that you have thoughts of killing Muzan proves that you subconsciously still consider yourself a human being."

Jiang Liu's lips curled up slightly. "Killing Muzan would be a piece of cake, but not now."

"why?"

Nezuko was puzzled. "If he doesn't die, there will be a constant stream of people being turned into demons!"

"Based on the current situation, Muzan's main plan is to create the Twelve Demon Moons. Before that, he will not expose himself in the open. He will only use the Japanese soldiers in Xinjing as experimental subjects for demonization. If he rashly arrests the Chinese, it will attract the attention of other reincarnation teams during this period."

After saying that, Jiang Liu raised his second finger, "The remaining reason is that I have my eye on Muzan's Infinite Castle."

I plan to establish a research institute in Australia in the future.

Australia.

The source of Earth's weekly weather cycle!

Even if the weekly weather pattern in this timeline cannot be formed within a hundred years, advance preparation is necessary. Furthermore, Muzan's Infinite City is similar to the God Space to some extent, only at a much lower level.

To seize control of the God's Space, one needs to rely on the Qi Formation. Jiang Liu originally planned to use his own physical Qi Formation, but this was a godsend.

Since there's already a ready-made scenario—the Infinite City—there's no need to risk yourself.

"Infinite Castle? That was the alternate dimension controlled by Nakime, but Nakime is already dead."

Nezuko couldn't believe it.

“Nakome? One of the Twelve Demon Moons in your world, right? But you have to understand that the root of Nakome’s power ultimately comes from Muzan, and Muzan, having merged with the guide of the East Blue Team, is a special individual. Inheriting and actively taking control of that alternate dimension wouldn’t be too difficult for him.” Jiang Liu said it as if it were a matter of course.

"But if you kill Muzan, you can also obtain the Infinity Castle."

"The Infinity Castle is not yet fully complete. While Muzan is nurturing the Twelve Demon Moons, he is also perfecting the Infinity Castle."

Jiang Liu's plan was simple: once Muzan further upgraded the Infinity Castle to its maximum potential, he would go and "steal the fruit"...

The final battle

Chapter 1365 The Final Battle (Part 1): Muzan's Actions

In the blink of an eye.

A month passed quietly.

Although the location of the Demon God of War was confirmed, the factory had increased its troop strength, and other reincarnation teams were also secretly hiding there. It was not advisable to expose them first, so the members of the Central Continent Team continued to work in the "Imperial Kitchen".

In Jiang Liu's words, it means facing the bleak reality of life head-on.

Apart from the three newcomers, Wang Fenlan, Mo Li, and Zheng Xue, who felt that this kind of life was a bit boring, the rest of the team members cherished it very much.

Because they had all experienced real life-or-death crises, now that they have returned to their original peaceful daily lives, they do not find it boring at all; on the contrary, they have gained some insights.

This is what it means to temper one's heart in the mortal world.

At night, Zheng Zha and the others were not idle either—the Japanese wanted to research super soldiers, and initially used their own people as expendable resources. However, with the addition of Muzan, the amount of resources consumed gradually increased, so they set their sights on the locals.

Therefore, Jiang Liu asked them to go out at night to uphold justice and kill the Japanese pirates who were secretly capturing people.

Because the Japanese had not ruled Xinjing for long, the local people were already in a state of panic. Faced with the corpse of the "prisoner" thrown at the gate, Mutō had to publicly commend the chivalrous man, but secretly issued an arrest warrant.

However, every time Zheng Zha and the others went out, Jiang Liu would change their clothes, appearance, and aura to conceal their identities, making it impossible for Wu Teng to determine their true identities.

During this process, the members of the Central Continent Team also encountered members of other reincarnation teams, engaging in battle after battle.

In the end, the Central Continent team won both matches.

Without him.

Jiang Liu secretly provided special care to most of the Zhongzhou team members. While he couldn't make their dreams come true, he did help them escape danger...

···

That night.

Xinjing.

Japanese factory.

Super Soldier Research Institute.

Thanks to Muzan Kibutsuji's blood, the Japanese have made great strides in their research on super soldiers, and have already formed a "Demon God Army" of three hundred men, each with formidable physical abilities. Although bullets can still penetrate flesh and blood, as long as they do not directly hit vital organs such as the heart or brain, they can recover at an extremely terrifying speed.

And thus, the Twelve Ghost Moons were born!

Click!

The twelve petri dishes shattered, and with the splash of green liquid, twelve beings of different appearances and sizes, but with their pupils showing the Upper Moon One to Upper Moon Six and the Lower Moon One to Lower Moon Six respectively, leaped out, exuding an aura that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness.

"Let's fight together, Twelve Ghost Generals!"

If Muzan Kibutsuji is the Demon King, then the Twelve Demon Moons are naturally Demon Generals!

Unlike the Twelve Ghost Months of the past—

Originally, the Twelve Demon Moons had different eye shapes. The Upper Moon Demon had one eye displaying the characters "上弦" (Upper Moon) and the other displaying the characters "壹" (One) to "陆" (Six). The Lower Moon Demon had only one eye displaying the characters "下" (Lower Moon) plus the code "壹" (One) to "陆" (Six).

And now-

The distinction between the Upper and Lower Moons of the Twelve Demon Generals is no longer a matter of power, but rather a division of positions; hence, characters appear in both of their pupils.

Upper Moon demon general, let's fight!

The Lower Moon Demon General is in charge of logistics!

After joining the Main God Space, Muzan Kibutsuji realized one thing: he could not defeat the strong members of the other Rinnegan squads by himself alone. Only by creating a perfect tool army could he achieve true victory!

All twelve demon generals knelt on the ground and bowed to Muzan.
