Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

"Mom! Dad!"

Little Red Oo let out another heart-wrenching cry.

"Alright, stop crying now." Bai Ye patted the little girl whose voice was already a bit hoarse.

"Although I can't directly resurrect your parents, I can use my divine power to extract their souls and seal them temporarily. Once I become a god, I can help your parents rebuild their bodies."

"what!"

Although Bai Ye didn't want to waste Ba Hui, he didn't say there weren't other ways to help the cute little loli!

Since he said from the beginning that he would salvage the original plot and help Kokoro save her parents, how could Byakuya possibly go back on his word?

Little Hongxu, who was in front of Bai Ye, seemed a little stunned after hearing Bai Ye's story. She was dazed for about ten seconds before finally realizing what Bai Ye had just said. Her previously sad face suddenly lit up with surprise, and her eyes shone as she stared at Bai Ye. This expression of crying and laughing almost made Bai Ye laugh.

"What are you standing there for? Get up and move aside! How can I help you seal your parents' souls if you're blocking my way?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl hurriedly got up, almost tripping over herself because her little feet were intertwined in her haste. Bai Ye smiled knowingly at this, and once again took out the Holy Spear, circulating a wisp of divine power stored within it.

"Since divine power can make one a god, protecting the souls of two people shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"That's true, but the 3 points of divine power you've accumulated will eventually run out," Little Saint reminded him.

"It doesn't matter, there will be one every month anyway, right? Besides, after I save Hongxu's parents, Hongxu will be bound to me, and she will provide me with a continuous stream of divine power every month. The divine power I'm using now can be considered as an advance payment of the portion that Hongxu provides to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye pointed the Holy Lance at the remains of Hong Xu's parents, and then in the next moment, two faint white figures floated out from above the bodies of Hong Xu's parents.

"Dad! Mom!"

This is the sound of surprise and joy, choked with tears, from Benio after seeing her parents' souls.

"Shh! Don't shout." Seeing the little girl, Bai Ye was about to get excited again, so he quickly made a shushing gesture with his hand.

"This is my first time manipulating souls, and their souls are very fragile right now. If your voice startles me and my hand accidentally shakes, I don't know what problems might occur."

This wasn't Bai Ye deliberately trying to scare Xiao Hongxu. Soul manipulation is truly a skill, and even with the help of the Bible Loli God, Bai Ye still felt immense pressure.

The little girl nodded quickly, then covered her mouth with her two little hands, looking like a quiet and well-behaved child.

Seeing this, Bai Ye felt relieved and focused intently on enveloping his soul with divine power. About half an hour passed, and even Bai Ye's face was covered in a layer of sweat.

Finally, under Bai Ye's protection, the souls of Hong Xu's parents transformed into two golden, prismatic crystals that fell into Bai Ye's hands.

"Phew! I'm exhausted, it's finally over." Bai Ye let out a heavy sigh of relief.

After watching for half an hour without daring to make a sound, the little girl Hongxu finally couldn't resist her curiosity and looked at the crystal in Baiye's hand.

"Is this... my... dad... mom?"

"To be precise, it is the crystallization of your parents' souls."

Bai Ye reached out and placed the soul crystal in Xiao Hongxu's hand.

"Put these two crystals away carefully. I predict that within ten years, I can resurrect your parents."

After all, if I can't become a god in ten years, the whole world will probably be destroyed by the mechanical evil god. Bai Ye only thought this last sentence in his heart and didn't say it out loud.

However, after hearing Byakuya's assurance, Adashino Benio's eyes filled with hope. She took Byakuya's large hand in her small one, and the little girl looked up at him with radiant eyes, saying:

"Thank you, big brother. As long as you can help Hongxu revive my parents, Hongxu will definitely listen to you from now on. Although Hongxu doesn't understand what it means to become a god, no matter what the cost, Hongxu will definitely help big brother."

Looking at the little girl in front of him who had already made him her emotional support, Bai Ye suddenly remembered something and asked Hong Xu, "By the way, Hong Xu, if I remember correctly, you should have an older brother, right?"

"Ah! Brother?" Adashino Benio was a little confused, not understanding why Byakuya would ask such a question, but she quickly replied.

"No! Hongxu has always been her parents' only daughter."

"No? Then it's alright, I must have made a mistake."

Hearing the little girl's narration, Bai Ye frowned. Could it be another butterfly effect from the fusion of various anime worlds? Oh well, it's actually more advantageous for him to be rid of that traitor named Ishigami Yuto.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Bai Ye chose to give up thinking and mentally called on Xiao Sheng to open the system panel for him.

Host: White Night

Age: 12 years old

Current strength: Lower-level demon (eight-digit number)

Divine Power: 1/100 (After reaching 100, the subspecies forbidden hand is activated)

Number of female characters bound: 4 [Glass, Kiriri Eriri, Benio] (provides 4 points of divine power per month) Note: From now on, this will be referred to by the number, just to know who they are.

World Travel: Random (Requires 20 Divine Power)

The number of bound female characters has increased to four, and the extra one is probably Benio. Her divine power has also decreased to one point, which was likely provided by the little girl Benio when she witnessed me saving my parents' souls. Thinking about this, Bai Ye felt that the divine power he spent was worthwhile. Three points of divine power were exchanged for the smile of his little girl. Anyway, he wouldn't have any other use for his divine power until he accumulated 20 or 100 points.

Feeling the soft little hand of Hongxu in his own, Baiye shifted his gaze to the two soulless corpses at his feet.

"Although her soul was preserved, these two battered bodies are definitely not usable. Moreover, news of Benio's parents' deaths in battle will surely spread later. The Adashino family will probably do everything they can to groom Benio to become the next head of the family, just like in the original story."

While Bai Ye was deep in thought, Hong Xu, who was listening to Bai Ye's mutterings, couldn't sit still any longer.

"I don't want to go back to the Adashino family. I want to stay by my older brother's side forever. And... and Mother ultimately asked my older brother to take care of me. You promised, older brother."

Bai Ye glanced at the anxious little girl and couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, how could I possibly abandon Hongxu?"

"And there's also the so-called prophecy of the Twin Star Exorcists from the original work. The Onmyodo Hall? Ha... You'd better not mess with me."

Now that Akane Hakuno belongs to him, Byakuya can no longer have the Onmyoji Agency arrange any blind dates for Akane.

After calming Hongxu down, Baiye recalled some plot points from the original novel, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes.

Chapter Thirteen: A Nearly Hidden Abyss

......

Bai Ye was unaware that, at the very moment Bai Ye made his decision...

At this moment, in the Yin-Yang Hall.

During a meeting with the Twelve Divine Generals, Tsuchimikado Arima, the supreme commander of the Onmyo Agency, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Commander-in-Chief, what's wrong with you...?"

The goddess of the heavens, Subaru Miheishima, who was sitting next to Tsuchimikado Arima, was the first to notice something was wrong and quickly helped Tsuchimikado Arima up.

"All matters concerning the Twin Star Exorcists are suspended. The prophecy I just told you is null and void. No one is allowed to mention the Twin Stars again."

After vomiting blood, the first thing Tsuchimikado Arima did upon getting up was to declare the contents of the meeting null and void.

This decision immediately puzzled the twelve divine generals below.

"Commander, why is this happening?! Wasn't this the divine decree you just received that could end our Onmyoji's thousand-year-old fate? Why are you suddenly forbidding us from mentioning it anymore?"

The Twelve Divine Generals expressed their confusion, but Tsuchimikado Arima, upon hearing this, revealed an expression more painful than tears.

"The prophecies of the Twin Star Exorcists and the Divine Child are actually correct. However, I just saw something else."

"What do you mean by 'others'?" the White Tiger General chimed in.

"I see it. If the Twin Star Onmyoji Project continues, the Onmyo Hall will be destroyed before the birth of the Divine Child."

"What!" Upon hearing that the Yin-Yang Hall had been destroyed, the twelve divine generals stood up in astonishment.

"Who dares to destroy the Onmyoji Hall? Is it Basara? Or those disgusting guys from the world of sorcery? Or perhaps those monsters from Kyoto?"

"neither!"

"I foresaw that the culprit that would destroy the Yin-Yang Hall was, besides a magnificent cross that spanned the heavens and the earth, a name that I had to divine several times before I had to believe in its existence."

"What's the name?" everyone asked in unison.

"The God of the Bible!"

The moment Tsuchimikado Arima finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent.

......

Tokyo, at the entrance of the Izumi residence.

With a clueless, emotionless little girl by his side, Bai Ye stood at his doorstep for a long time, too afraid to go back inside.

"Kenio, can't you really go back to the Adashino family first?"

Bai Ye gently advised the little girl beside him.

"I won't go. Bai Ye promised to let me go with you."

While munching on the hagi mochi that Byakuya had just bought for him, Adashino Benio looked at Byakuya with a determined expression.

Only now did Bai Ye finally realize the consequences of making reckless promises. Just moments ago, Bai Ye had solemnly promised not to abandon Hong Xu, but halfway home, Bai Ye suddenly sensed something was wrong.

It seems there's a little jealous person in my family, and I managed to fool them yesterday. What if I were to bring home a little girl who's completely obedient to me and is the same age as Sagiri?

Bai Ye couldn't even imagine what that scene would be like.

So Byakuya passed by his home three times without going in. In order to persuade Benio to go back to the Adashino family first, Byakuya even went out of his way to buy Benio's favorite Hagi mochi as a bribe for the little girl.

Unfortunately, the bribery tactic just now also failed.

Should we just take Hongxu back like this?

When Byakuya imagined Sagiri seeing Akane in his mind, he shuddered.

No, I absolutely cannot take Benio to meet Sagiri. I need to think of something, think of something. I'm sure I can find a way to solve this predicament. I'm going to become a god by building a harem in the future! How can I be defeated by these two little lolis?

Hmm...become a god? That's right, become a god!

Bai Ye instantly had an idea, and then looked at the little tagalong loli beside him with a serious expression.

"Um... Benio, I remember you promised to do everything you could to help me become a god, right?"

While enjoying her Hagi mochi, Benio nodded seriously when Byakuya suddenly asked her a question.

"But you can't help me at all on your own right now."

Upon hearing this, Benio put down her favorite hagi mochi and thought about it carefully. It seemed that what Byakuya said was true, and there was nothing she could do to help him.

Bai Ye is clearly taking advantage of Xiao Hongxu's ignorance of the system. In fact, the best help Xiao Hongxu can give Bai Ye is simply to maintain her dependence on him. However, Bai Ye, who wants to temporarily escape the Xiu Luo field, won't tell Hongxu about it.

Seeing that Hongxu was thinking seriously, Baiye then coaxed her:

"In order for me to become a god more quickly and resurrect Hongxu's parents, I have a difficult task to entrust to little Hongxu. I wonder if Hongxu can shoulder this heavy responsibility?"

This time, Kokoro didn't think much before seriously saying that she could do it.

"Then I'll trouble Kokoro to go back now and become the heir of the Adashino family, so that I can control the entire Adashino family and make it an aid to my ascension to godhood!"

"what..."

The little girl felt a bit dizzy from Bai Ye's actions. She didn't feel like there was anything seriously wrong, but she also felt like something was amiss.

"Then it's settled. Hongxu, you should go back to the Asano family first, master the Yin-Yang arts passed down in your family, and then you can better help me after you have gained control of the entire Asano family."

"Oh... okay, to help Big Brother Baiye..."

Although Bai Ye initially intended to send Xiao Hongxu away to avoid being exposed to the problems of the Shura Field too early, he was actually tempted halfway through the conversation.

Indeed, as Bai Ye himself said, he is now somewhat powerless in this world.

As for Benio's Adashino family, while Byakuya didn't really need the weak fighting power of the Onmyoji, the Adashino family was more than just an Onmyoji family.

Such an ancient and extraordinary family would at least be a conglomerate in the real world. If I could control such a conglomerate through Hongxu, it would definitely save me a lot of trouble in the real world.

Therefore, before leaving, Byakuya specially had the little sacred artifact manifest a beam of light for communication and gave it to Benio so that she could stay in touch with him.

This allows Byakuya to communicate with Benio at any time, while also preventing the group from the Onmyoji Agency in the original work from causing trouble. After all, Benio is now his little girl, and Byakuya can't let them pull any more tricks like Twin Star Onmyoji.

......

In the evening, Bai Ye, who had been busy all day, finally returned to her room.

Because he managed to persuade Benio to leave without bringing her home, Byakuya naturally spent his dinner time safely. It's worth mentioning that Sagiri, who was teased by Byakuya yesterday and was shy, has returned to her previous soft and cute appearance today.

Mrs. Izumi, as a mother, looked at her daughter with a hint of disappointment and frustration.

Bai Ye lay on her bed, recalling that she had resolved two bullying incidents throughout the day. If you count Basara's bullying of Kokoro as bullying, then it would be three incidents.

This made Bai Ye wonder if he had some kind of innate anti-bullying physique.
