I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

Generally speaking, luck is usually not good after getting a good item from a single pull.

Or perhaps you should draw some of the Soul-Soothing Incense Ash that can upgrade the Red Prajna.

After Uesugi Tetsu's efforts, the remaining thousand or so points of soul ash were quickly depleted.

Only a few dozen points remain.

[“Red Prajna” is upgrading: 0% (30 days remaining)]

"However, the time it took for Red Prajna to reach three and a half stars did not increase."

Uesugi Tetsuya looked at the upgrade notification with considerable surprise.

He had originally thought he would have to suffer for at least fifty or sixty days, but this is actually quite good.

correct.

Uesugi Tetsu brought up Hyakume's panel again.

Because I was so focused on the ridiculously high cost of materials and the new card pool, I almost forgot about the Heavenly Path related to Hyakume-ki...

Let me see what this so-called "Heavenly Path" really is.

【The Trials of the Hundred-Eyed Demon: Witness to the Changing Times】

The option is still flickering with a faint light, waiting to be activated.

Click on Uesugi Tetsu.

[Should we begin the Hundred-Eyed Demon's Heavenly Trial?]

[Note 1: When the Heavenly Trial begins, the length of the trial will be adjusted based on your past experiences, current strength, and future potential.]

—Your current "trial length" has reached its "maximum" and cannot be changed.

[Note 2: The Heavenly Trial cannot be closed once it is started.]

[Note 3: If the Heavenly Trial fails, the advancement will fail, and the consumed Soul-Soothing Incense Ash and advancement materials will not be refunded.]

The three consecutive annotations made Uesugi Tetsuya pause for a moment, but did not change his mind.

Originally, Uesugi Tetsuya wanted to wait until he installed the Myriad Spirit Cauldron before starting the trial.

But since the length has already been maximized, there's no need to hesitate any longer.

[Now—Shall we begin the Hundred-Eyed Demon's Heavenly Trial?]

"Yes."

[You have chosen to begin the Heavenly Trial of the Hundred-Eyed Demon!!!]

In that instant, it felt as if something embraced Uesugi Tetsuya from behind once more, whispering softly in his ear...

May you never forget your original aspirations.

Uesugi Tetsu lowered his eyes and looked at the prompts related to the trial.

[The Trials of Heaven: Witness to the Changing World]

[Trial Introduction: As stars shift and seasons change, history, like a surging torrent, sweeps away the nameless and the defeated.]

People, events, and things that were once important have all vanished like colorful clouds and glass, forgotten and forgotten by everyone... But you, as a witness, will remember everything.

Regardless of pain, sorrow, or loneliness.

[Current Trial Progress: 0%]

After reading through all the prompts, an inexplicable feeling arose in Uesugi Tetsuya's heart.

—I am now standing on a road that has no end in sight.

—And he needs to "see" more in order to move forward on this path.

But no matter how much Uesugi Tetsu instinctively opened his eyes and looked at everything in the quiet room, he didn't move forward an inch on the road.

A subtle sense of disorientation made Uesugi Tetsuya close his eyes and pinch the bridge of his nose.

"The Hundred-Eyed Demon Heavenly Path... uses the [time] experienced by the things it sees as its measure?"

Suppressing his instinct to observe and witness all things in the world, Uesugi Tetsuya took out his phone and glanced at the time.

Late at night.

After calming down from the shock of the Heavenly Path, he walked out of the quiet room and found that Ririko was still discussing with those people, and the documents beside her were piled up one after another.

"Several extraordinary individuals met and became so engrossed in their work that they forgot to eat and sleep."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled silently, intending to leave quietly, but suddenly felt himself advance a little on the Heavenly Path.

A tiny, insignificant amount.

[Current Trial Progress: 0.00001%]

Even a negligible amount of progress can have significant implications.

"Besides [time], is [importance] also one of the criteria for measurement...?"

Uesugi Tetsu nodded thoughtfully.

He looked out the window at the silver moon, which was mostly swallowed up by dark clouds.

Perfect timing! Let's use the teleportation spell to go to Nanjo-nee's house.

……

Motonobu Okabe stood beside the passageway leading from the Sky City to the teleportation technique.

From the bustling crowds when we left the arena, to the quiet of the night now where only a few figures can be seen.

Motonobu Okabe had been waiting.

Waiting for Uesugi Tetsu.

As a result, she has encountered several formidable patrol teams.

Although she managed to fool me the last few times by saying she was "waiting for a friend whose name I can't reveal," if we run into her a few more times, even a complete idiot would know she has ulterior motives.

If we were caught by the authorities on Sky City, that would be terrible.

"Tsk... He actually left first."

Okabe Motonobu's eyes were half-open, his fists clenched, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If only she had grabbed Tamamo and the others who were saying they wanted to take a picture with Che at that time and told them to go together.

But if given the chance to do it again, Motonobu Okabe still wouldn't do it.

One of her principles is to avoid involving unrelated individuals.

"Is it my dereliction of duty... or perhaps my lack of ability?"

Upon hearing the familiar footsteps of the patrol team once again in the distance, Motonobu Okabe sighed inwardly.

"I'm sorry, my lord."

As she turned around, she caught a glimpse of something swaying at her waist, a vibrant crimson against the deep night.

Okabe Motonobu turned his head around with almost all his might, his eyes wide open like copper bells as he looked at the figure emerging from the darkness.

That's... Kaga Kiyomitsu?

So, that was...

Che?!

Chapter 315 Yuanxin Awaits Che, the Method for Advancing to the Two-Foot Demon God! At the Nanjo Family Residence, Let's Forge the Cauldron of Ten Thousand Spirits!

Above the Sky City, the moonlight was sparse.

Under Okabe Motonobu's breathless gaze, that rather familiar figure, carrying Kaga Kiyomitsu, slowly emerged from the darkness.

One step, another step.

pat, pat.

The same outfit, the same trousers, and the same shoes as in the afternoon seeding battle, even the same Red Hannya Mask hanging at the waist...

Motonobu Okabe's eyes, which had been open and trembling violently, suddenly calmed down.

Because of that demon's mask.

Lifeless.

Not to mention that just looking at it from afar gives off a lifelike ghostly aura that makes people feel disgusted, even the most basic workmanship is problematic.

It's just a cheap, low-quality counterfeit.

Motonobu Okabe looked up again.

Just then, this person emerged from the darkness into the moonlight, revealing a face completely different from Uesugi Tetsu's, only somewhat similar in its carefully crafted features.

Motonobu Okabe was unaware that there was a culture in the world called "cosplay".

The young man, who cosplayed as the champion of the first seeding tournament and immediately garnered countless photos with the winner, only now managing to escape, cheerfully waved to Motonobu Okabe.

"Excuse me, did you need something from me just now?"

"No, it's just that they mistook me for someone else."

Okabe Motonobu's emotionless reply sent a chill down the young man's spine.

what's the situation?

He swallowed hard, didn't dare say anything more, and quickly left Okabe Motonobu's side.

In the silence, Okabe Motonobu silently watched the young man's back disappear, then turned back to look at the still, motionless road he had come from.

"Forget it, let's go."

Motonobu Okabe silently walked toward the massive teleportation array.

It would be more convenient to go directly to Che's current residence later.

He's so famous now... so this kind of information shouldn't be hard to find, right?

Two minutes later.

Uesugi Tetsuya, wielding the Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyes, arbitrarily "seen" the area within a hundred meters, while simultaneously sealing all information belonging to himself within that hundred meters, slowly walked over.

It seems that the Sky City is not something of great value.

At least that's how it is inside Sky City.

Uesugi Tetsu, who hadn't encountered anyone along the way, stepped on the teleportation spell.

He thought for a moment, then put Kaga Kiyomitsu back into his storage bag, and used the Four-Tailed Fox's Thousand Faces talent to reshape his face and height.

Otherwise, as the champion of the seeded battle, I would definitely be "arrested".

Uesugi Tetsu didn't want to cause any trouble, as he was about to go to Nanjo's place.

With a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, Uesugi Tetsu returned to the ground in the very center of Tokyo.

Looking around with his Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyes, he indeed discovered some potential fans still waiting for him.

Disguise was definitely the right choice.

After muttering a silent complaint, Uesugi Tetsuya, like an ordinary background character riddled with flaws, swaggered into the main road.

He was also muttering to himself about what to eat for dinner after watching the game for so long.

Sitting in a roadside convenience store, Motonobu Okabe withdrew his gaze from the passerby and continued to wait for his next target.

Motonobu Okabe is waiting for Tetsu Uesugi.

……

In just a few minutes, Uesugi Tetsuya, whose mere strides were faster than the Shinkansen bullet train, arrived at Nanjo Manami's doorstep.

He glanced at his phone.

Not too early, not too late, exactly midnight.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the standard security door in front of him, and then recalled the commercial housing he saw downstairs, which was no different from the other buildings in the surrounding area.

It looks... surprisingly ordinary.
