The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

Just then, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and Alice, who seemed quite excited, appeared in the doorway.

"Mother, I heard from Mengzi..."

Before she could finish her urgent question, Alice's gaze fell on Shiro, who was sitting on the sofa struggling to breathe in Yuuka Kazami's hands, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Father, you're finally back!?"

Almost the instant Alice uttered those words, Shenqi felt an overwhelming killing intent descend upon her.

Shenqi: "......"

Unfortunately, the person was completely unaware of the situation before him. Upon seeing Alice, he had no idea where he had offended Kazami Yuuka again. He hurriedly stood up from the sofa as if he had found a savior.

"Alice, come on, I'll take you out to play. This time I brought you a little gift that you'll definitely love!!"

"........."

Watching Shibai lead Alice out the door, Kazami Yuuka silently turned her head to look at Shinki in front of her.

"Um... I think I can explain a little. Actually, things aren't as you imagine..."

After a brief silence, Shenqi spoke weakly.

"Tell me about him."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was calmly interrupted by Yuuka Kazami in front of her.

"what?"

"That guy is a complete emotional idiot. I know there's a misunderstanding without you even having to explain, so there's no need to waste your time."

With a slight pout, Yuuka Kazami's words were full of disdain.

"Besides, I also need to have a proper wife... Tell me about him, I don't know enough about him."

She coughed a few times, interrupting herself, and Kazami Yuuka's expression returned to its usual calm.

"I want to know him better."

P.S.: Good morning!

Chapter Six: Night Talk, Shi Bai's Past

In the Demon Realm, Shi Bai did not stay for long. After staying at the Wanmo Palace for a meal, he left the Demon Realm with Kazami Yuuka, preparing to go to the Penglai Three Immortal Islands to find Hong Meiling.

Before leaving, he left Alice a small gift. It wasn't anything too valuable; it was just a life-size Gundam model figure, several tens of meters tall, which was quite eye-catching when placed in front of the Pandemonium.

—That Gundam model figure can be ridden and driven.

In addition, using the essence he had previously collected from outside the world, he secretly helped Alice complete her transformation from a demon to a true life form.

Everything in the Demon Realm depends on Shinki. Unless Shinki can truly reach that level in the future, the people of the Demon Realm cannot be considered true life forms, even Alice, who has the highest level of completion.

Shinki originally planned to use the [Hourai Doll], which was completed with the help of Yagokoro Eirin, to perform a ritual called "The Death of the Righteous" to give Alice true life. However, that ritual was unilaterally rejected by Tokihachi.

One of the reasons for his previous trips outside the world was this. Although the amount of [World Origin] he used on Alice was insignificant, it was more than enough to transform her into a true life form and free her from the control of the Demon Realm.

Of course, he and Shinki were quite tacit in not telling Alice the truth about this kind of thing. After all, the only people in this world who knew the secret that the demons were not real life were Shinki, Yagokoro Eirin who was entrusted by Shinki to work together to create the [Hōrai Doll], and the only one left was Tokihaku himself. Not to mention Shinki's personal maid Yumeko, even Matara Okina did not know this kind of thing.

In other words, apart from those three, no one else would have any doubts about this matter. It is a widely recognized and obvious fact that Shinki created the Demon Realm and all life in the Demon Realm.

As the only princess of the Demon Realm and the daughter of the Demon God, Shenqi, Alice trusts her mother unconditionally. However, Shi Bai can already predict something in the future from Alice's current interests: Alice will always be troubled about how to give her dolls true life, just like her mother, Shenqi...

However, Shibai was too lazy to care about such things and left it to Shenqi to deal with later. Without the interference of the "Death of the Righteous," a ritual destined to be painful and despairing, it was likely that the relationship between Shenqi and Alice would not evolve into the kind of estrangement that was originally destined.

By the way, it's worth mentioning that after Shi Bai returned this time, Alice's desired path in magic has been decided. She will focus on puppet magic, and the future Seven-Colored Puppet Master is already showing signs of emerging. I wonder where the Seven Luminaries Magician is now.

Over the years, Tatara Kogasa has been living a very happy life in the Demon World. This tsukumogami, whom Tokihaku casually picked up from the roadside, has a personality as simple as a blank sheet of paper. Under the deliberate protection of Shinki and Yumeko, she not only did not suffer any grievances in the Demon World, but also got along quite well.

Originally, Kogasa wanted to leave with Shibai, but considering Kogasa's feelings, and amidst Kazami Yuuka's hesitant and ultimately hopeless gaze, he said a bunch of nonsensical things to a certain blue-haired, heterochromatic-eyed loli who looked completely bewildered...

After resolving the issues with Alice and Kogasa, Shi Bai had completed the two tasks he had initially planned to do upon arriving in the Demon World. Finally, escorted by his student, the succubus, he left the Demon World with Kazami Yuuka.

As the saying goes, those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away; three smiles are in vain, a foolish act indeed.

After leaving the Demon Realm, Shi Bai and Kazami Yuuka embarked on a journey together, and the situation seemed to have returned to what it was like long ago when he and Yuuka traveled around together. However, compared to that time, Shi Bai noticed that Kazami Yuuka had changed significantly.

"what happened?"

Looking at Yuuka Kazami in front of him, Shi Bai was completely bewildered.

Because of the sudden downpour, they temporarily pitched their tents in a grove of trees, and since it was getting close to nightfall, they were able to camp there.

Shi Bai was no stranger to things like camping, after all, he had quite a lot of experience in this area. However, just as he had laid out his bedding and taken out his sleeping bag to prepare for sleep, Kazami Yuuka came to his side.

"I want to sleep here."

Pointing at Shi Bai's sleeping bag, Kazami Yuuka turned her head slightly, her expression a little unnatural, a blush creeping up her ears.

"sure."

He generously handed the sleeping bag he had prepared for himself to Kazami Yuuka, and Shibai then picked up Kazami Yuuka's sleeping bag.

"What's wrong? Is your sleeping bag uncomfortable? It's nothing. I have plenty of sleeping bags here, so there's no need to worry."

"........."

"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've camped like this. The last time I went camping like this was a long time ago when I went to the Central Plains with Ibaraki Kasen."

While Kazami Yuuka fell into a silent reverie, Shi Bai had already nimbly slipped into his sleeping bag, lay down with his hands behind his head, and looked up at the night sky through the transparent skylight in the tent with a look of emotion on his face. The street lamp placed in the center of the tent emitted a faint glow.

"Lying in a tent during a downpour, watching the rain pour down from the sky through the skylight, I can't help but get poetic. For example, 'The Yellow River's waters come down from the sky, as if the Milky Way were falling from the ninth heaven'... Hmm, something seems a bit off?"

"I think you really need to work on your emotional intelligence... Has anyone ever told you that you're a failure or something shameful?"

With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Kazami Yuuka turned her head to look at the person who had already fallen asleep.

"Uh... Rick did say something like that... Wait, how did you know?"

Shi Bai was quite stunned.

"...Tell me about your past."

Seemingly letting out a helpless sigh, Kazami Yuuka also lay down inside the tent.

"I don't have anything to do right now, and I'm not too sleepy, so why don't you tell me about the things you've been through? If there are things that you really can't talk about, you can skip them."

"Past events? Hmm... it's not impossible, there's no point in keeping those things secret... except for certain special cases..."

After a moment's thought, Shi Bai nodded.

"Okay, when would you like to start listening?"

"Let's start."

"Hmm... let me think... I remember being about three years old, and back then I..."

"...Let's start from when you first came to this world. I remember in the Dream World, you mentioned that you were a transmigrator?"

"Yes, I'm probably one of the chosen transmigrators from my original world, although I still haven't found my original world yet..."

To be honest, ever since Shi Bai figured out the definition of the world, as well as the existence and true nature of transmigrators and systems in the void, he has been trying to find a way to return to his original world. It's not that he misses his original world or anything, but he just wants to go back and prove a certain conjecture in his heart that he has never been able to confirm.

Unfortunately, the world he originally lived in was extremely ordinary, so ordinary that even after spending so much time, he still couldn't find the coordinates of his original world.

Actually, it's not difficult to find your original world by connecting with certain things within yourself, but he also encountered something like Sally's situation, where all connections were severed by the world he originally belonged to, because if that world didn't do that, it would be completely destroyed because of him.

After all, his name itself has become a taboo in the endless void, not to mention the thirteen terrifying beings he imprisoned within his body.

Given that all connections have been deleted or erased by the world itself, finding a way back to one's original world is extremely difficult.

Shi Bai didn't hide anything from Kazami Yuuka. Taking advantage of the stormy night, he told her everything that had happened since he transmigrated, including his first meeting with Xiao Ye and Xiao Xi, the true origin of the Heavenly Realm, the hearty drinking session with Feng Yan on the top of Feng Yu Mountain, accepting a father's last request, and witnessing the end of the world...

He told all of those things without reservation.

There is absolutely no need to hide these things.

During the most carefree ten years of their lives in the Heavenly Realm, Xiao Ye and Xiao Xi fell into a deep sleep and wandered aimlessly. When the Heavenly Realm closed, they had no choice but to leave and wander in a desolate, empty world for hundreds of years...

When talking about these things, Shi Bai's tone was very relaxed, deliberately downplaying certain details and telling everything from a third-person perspective in a straightforward and easy tone.

"You know, humans are social animals. Wandering aimlessly for hundreds of years in that desolate, empty world almost drove me crazy. In the end, I even forgot how to speak. I became extremely neurotic and eventually even chose to self-harm to numb myself with pain... I was still quite immature back then."

Recalling the scene at that time, Shi Bai couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Day after day, year after year, the world before my eyes remained unchanged, a desolate wasteland. It was then that I realized that humanity has its limits, and to transcend those limits, one must cease to be human."

"...So what did you do?"

After a moment of silence, Kazami Yuuka spoke softly.

"I injected all sorts of viruses into myself, like the T virus, the G virus, the Blacklight virus, the Arrow, the Stone Mask, I injected them all into my body at once."

Shi Bai pursed his lips.

"Because of my unique talent, I was certain that I wouldn't become a monster. The so-called virus and arrows would perfectly integrate with my body. Looking back now, I was really daring to do it."

"and after?"

"What happened next? Well, it's pretty simple. I had some kind of problem back then, and I released a lot of troublesome things into the world. So the world kicked me out as a virus that was harming the world. I guess I got what I deserved."

Pointing to his head, Shi Bai's words carried a hint of self-deprecation.

"And so began my long journey to another world. I remember the first world I went to very clearly, because it was in that world that could drive a normal person crazy and drive a crazy person back to normal that I finally came to my senses."

Is it a terrible world?

Kazami Yuuka turned her head to look at the profile of the person next to her.

"Terrible? Ah... that world is indeed quite terrifying..."

Shi Bai's face was filled with unbearable memories of the past.

"The name of the first world I traveled to was Teletubbies."

"Antenna...baby?"

"Ah, that's right, it's that damn Teletubbies that forced me to drink milkshakes..."

As he said this, there was a hint of gritted teeth in Shi Bai's voice.

"In that world, the Teletubbies also possessed immortality, or rather, under the rules of that world, they were completely immune to any harm. At the same time, that world was so small that even if I wanted to run away, I couldn't escape... Finally, in that world, I went from being a madman to a normal person, and was able to escape that terrifying world."

"........."

"I originally thought it was just the end of a nightmare, but I never imagined it was just the beginning. The second world I went to was SpongeBob SquarePants. That's the territory of the Yellow King who lives underwater. If it were the animated SpongeBob, that would be one thing, but who the hell would have thought it was the real-life SpongeBob…"

Shi Bai sighed helplessly.

"The third world, Peppa Pig; the fourth world, the story of Lei Feng; the fifth world, Tom and Jerry; the sixth world, Black Cat Detective... Can you imagine how desperate I was back then?"

Are all those worlds terrifying?

She rolled over and lay face down on the blanket, and Kazami Yuuka spoke with a hint of curiosity.

"It's not just scary, it's incredibly scary. Normal people couldn't even last a day in those worlds on average."

Shi Bai shook his head with a look of utter despair.

"It wasn't until later, when I gradually mastered the knack of world travel, that I was able to avoid continuing my journey to those terrible worlds. Only after that did the world become a normal world."

"For example, the dragon race."

Chapter Seven: The Beginning and the Reasons

When Shi Bai summarized the past events, it was actually quite simple.

It was nothing more than a continuous journey through time, going to one world after another, but the first world that truly left a positive impression on him was the world of dragons.

As the saying goes, "Heaven has killed that old thief from Jiangnan, give me back Erii!" After spending some time figuring out what kind of world he was in, Shi Bai started causing trouble like crazy.

His approach of dealing with the person who created the problem instead of solving it himself was established at that time.

"When I have some free time later, I'll take you to the world of the dragons to see my fellow disciples."

After briefly recounting what he had done in his dragon world, Shi Bai seemed quite emotional.

"Although he was kicked out of that world before he could attend their wedding, given Chu Zihang's arrogant personality, he will definitely be completely under Xia Mi's thumb after the wedding."
