Re-live your life and start speedrunning

"But it doesn't matter. I don't blame you, Brother. After all, you have saved my life more than once." Ji Saburo whispered, "Also, although you may look down on me as the host of the power of gods and Buddhas, who can connect with the 'Turning Object' to reappear the shadow of gods and Buddhas, I am indeed here to save you..."

"My brother, you are no match for the Spirit King. You should have realized the terror hidden in the power in your body. It is a terror that is enough to kill you even though you have become a silver-level player... The so-called gods and Buddhas, no matter how much they pretend to be, are essentially 'ghosts and gods'. Gods and ghosts are one. These Hundred Ghosts Scrolls that you have collected, and the evil ghosts that you have transformed into with your own hands, are not the ironclad evidence?"

"I can see that the ghosts and gods on these screens are actually the 'evil nature' that you have stripped away, which has accumulated in your body due to long-term use of the power of gods and Buddhas!"

"Of course you can control them for a short time now."

"But the Spirit King possesses a terror that surpasses 'gods and demons'."

"Your desire to rescue the 'Sanzu River' to completely wash away the horrific hidden dangers of the power of gods and Buddhas is impractical - only by relying on the 'apostles' of foreign gods can you survive and win!" The man named Minamoto Eikiri seemed concerned, but in fact he was expressing his thorough understanding of Minamoto Musashi's body!

"Are you talking about the 'Apostle' who killed the Holy Lord? Jisaburo... No, Gengeikiri!" The Shogun's voice was low, but his words suddenly became suppressed: "I am indeed responsible for your previous surrender to the 'House of Evolution', and I did think of turning the tables on them. Although the 'House of Evolution' is rebellious, he is still on the relatively correct path after all - surrendering to him is not a bad way out in a future that is destined to be chaotic. However, the so-called 'Apostle' is different. His beliefs are too evil and twisted, and using that kind of power is just digging his own grave!"

"I will never throw myself on the side of the enemy, and I advise you not to go down the wrong path."

"If you insist—then I will stay here and keep you!"

As soon as the words fell, the 'Shogun' who was sitting upright suddenly stood up, his armor all over his body shook and hummed, and the silent attic also moved instantly!

The ghosts and gods in the silent screens began to move wildly again, and corresponding to this, the shadows of gods and Buddhas appeared majestically behind Minamoto Musashi!

A huge pressure suddenly emerged, like a mountain overturning, the sky collapsing and the earth collapsing.

Just the pressure made the young man in kimono, the tall "samurai" Gen Eikiri, turn pale and freeze!

But he still laughed.

He said:

"You have become stronger after reaching Silver level, taking your body as your home and integrating the gods and Buddhas. Brother, you have indeed become stronger after reaching Silver level - but you are about to die."

"I've already said it before, gods and ghosts are one. Even if you use many ancient objects from Japan to connect the country's destiny and simulate gods and Buddhas to suppress the evil side of ghosts and gods, and temporarily store them in these scrolls of ghosts in the form of paintings, it will be difficult to completely remove their influence... In this situation, it won't take too long before they break free from the scrolls, and you will be completely devoured by them."

"That's none of your business."

The 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi slowly walked forward and passed through the screen. The demons on the screen seemed to make way for him, and opened a path for the Shura demons: "Even if I die, I will never let outside forces interfere with Japan--"

"Both you and the 'Apostle' behind you."

"'Spirit King', that's even more impossible!"

The only silver-level player in Japan said this with absolute certainty.

The smile on Yuan Yiqie's face paused slightly, and finally only complexity remained.

"Even if the price is the lives of thousands of Japanese people?"

"The lives of ordinary people are nothing but dust in the greater good - insignificant!" The Shogun's expression remained unchanged.

Yuan Yiqi sighed: "In that case, I can only wish you success in your plan."

"If you fail, I will collect your body!" As these words floated in the air, the figure that was originally standing in front of Minamoto Musashi dissipated and disappeared like mist.

The Shogun paused, the look behind the demon mask changed several times, and he finally put down his hand and stopped chasing...

"General, what happened?"

At the same time, a voice was heard outside the door. It was the subordinates of the "shogunate" who noticed something was wrong and came to inquire.

"nothing."

Minamoto Musashi glanced at him and asked, "How are the preparations for entering the palace to pay homage to the Emperor going?"

"Ready and ready to go!"

The person outside the door responded.

"Then let's go!"

Minamoto Musashi gave the order without any hesitation.

This might be considered the biggest preparation ritual he performed before officially fighting the 'Spirit King', right?

You know, in Japan, "gods and Buddhas" really existed! Just as his brother Gen Eikiri said, it was by connecting with the "talismans" left by gods and Buddhas that he was able to show the influence of gods and Buddhas, and to suppress and strip away the evil ghost side of the power of ghosts and gods in his body and deposit it on the scroll.

The most important power of gods and Buddhas lies in "inheritance".

The older the object, the more powerful the "ghost" it can suppress and the more powerful its divine power can be.

In Japan, who is more ancient than the emperor who has been in the line of succession for thousands of years?

As long as he pays homage to the Emperor and goes to Kyoto to exercise the imperial power, he will also obtain this ancient heritage and gain a stronger talisman - and power.

He would let the Soul King know this - and let 'Gen Eikiri' understand as well.

anyway.

This is also his home ground!

The only winner in the end will be yourself!

...

at the same time.

On the streets of Japan, the sun's shadows still cast lush shadows on the bustling city streets. The ancient and majestic Kyoto's scenic spots and historical sites are full of ancient charm. When traveling between these landscapes, people feel as if they are crossing different eras.

This feeling is quite different from Jiangcheng, which is also an ancient capital.

If the ancient city area of ​​Jiangcheng City represents the historical evolution of just that city, then Kyoto City represents the historical evolution of the entire Japan. Although Japan is not as vast and ancient as the Great Xia Kingdom, it has existed for thousands of years and can be considered to have a long history.

The only pity is that, like Jiangcheng City, there are not many traces left by ancient players here...

It seems that if you want to find the remains of ancient players, you can't rely on history.

We can only search for it through "myth"!

Li Re thought so.

"Ah, what?"

Xinggong Yue next to him tugged at his sleeve and asked.

The guardian spirit girl, who had not yet transformed into a spirit, tilted her head, and the warm afternoon sun slanted down between her brows, and through the ends of her thick dark hair it seemed as if a golden field was flying. The girl's scarlet eyes were bright and clear, and her pretty face never showed any major fluctuations in expression, only curiosity.

Under this curious expression, the delicate collarbone is faintly visible under the white JK lining of the tie, the fair and delicate skin meanders down, and a full arc is slightly bulging under the fabric. The girl's slightly tilted body twists her slender waist, the skirt hem is gathered at the waist, and the knee-length skirt gently wraps the round hip line. The legs wrapped in black silk stretch out between the skirt, and the small leather boots support every piece of beauty.

She is beautiful in the sunshine.

Li Re's eyes paused slightly, thinking that she was indeed the girl he had 'raised' - he looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a bird-like 'statue' standing on top of the huge and magnificent temple in front of him.

Li Re's eyes were startled for a moment - and then he followed Xing Gong Yue and looked at the Japanese 'goddess' Asamamiya Kamiko who was wearing white clothes and red skirts next to them.

Gong Shen Zi, with his long dark red hair and cold face, looked calm.

Looking at this young couple in front of me, I feel somewhat helpless...

Is this 'Spirit King' here for tourism, or is he here to solve the 'Sanzu River' instance?

This half day.

He has almost visited all the famous places of interest in Kyoto!

She was almost becoming their tour guide... Whenever she encountered anything related to ancient Japanese customs and architecture, Li Re would immediately look at her inquiringly.

Fortunately, it’s not a holiday now.

The various scenic spots in Kyoto are not crowded.

There will not be any congestion caused by crowding.

Of course, Asamamiya Kamiko was just helpless in her heart. She knew that although the situation in 'Sanzu River' was critical, the other party came to help her after all, and she should fulfill the etiquette of hospitality.

So, in response to the inquiring gazes of the two men, Asamamiya Kamiko gave another detailed answer as before:

"That's the 'township'."

"The ancient Japanese were very awed by ghosts and gods, believing that all things have spirits. Ghosts and gods are everywhere in the world. The weirdness derived from people's fear can also give birth to terrifying existences. Only ghosts can fight ghosts, and only ghosts can fight ghosts. Therefore, images of gods and ghosts are often carved on the roof to suppress the "ghosts" in the house."

"And its manifestation is not limited to statues. Anything that is placed on the roof can be called a 'talisman'."

"——Houses need talismans, and so do mountains and rivers."

"In ancient legends, many gods and Buddhas have left talismans on the land of Japan to suppress ghosts and gods and control the fate of the country."

"Well..."

After listening to the explanation of Asamamiya Kamiko, Hoshimiya Tsuki blinked.

Li Re thought it was indeed a "talisman"... Although this was his first time in Japan, many of Japan's architectural styles were originally influenced by the ancient Daxia. Although there were some innovations, the general structure did not change much - so he still knew more or less, but he was not sure... But it didn't matter. Although Li Re had many bad impressions of this country, he didn't go to extremes...

Even though he really didn't like some of the atmosphere in this country - fortunately in this world, although Dongying betrayed Daxia's camp when the West rose decades ago, the final winner in the internal changes was not the emperor faction, but the shogunate faction. Later, the shogunate collapsed due to the stronger backlash from the West, and it went directly from the shogunate to the prime minister system, and ultimately failed to launch a brutal war. Otherwise, Li Regao would have to give him some of the priests' favorite greeting gifts -

"Are, don't you like this country?"

Li Re came back to his senses and found that the girl beside him was looking at him again, her bright red eyes full of confusion.

"do not like."

Li Re responded frankly.

He doesn't like the country as a whole.

but...

"I still like JK very much."

He looked the guardian spirit girl up and down in front of him and spoke bluntly.

If not for this, he would not have given Xinggong Yueqin the "setting" JK in the first place - this is one of his xp!

"Um.."

Xing Gong Yue retracted her gaze without hesitation and looked straight at Li Re in front of her - and responded like this.

She said:

“Then I don’t like this country either.

"Whatever Ah-je likes, I like."

Even if you don't understand some very complex emotions of humans.

But I like Li Re.

This is her true 'basic setting'.

It's her reason for existence.

From beginning to end, it has never changed.

Li Re grinned when he heard that and couldn't help but rub Xing Gongyue's head. The girl narrowed her eyes slightly - and also showed a happy expression.

"..."

At this moment, Asamamiya Kamiko finally understood what this Soul King came here to do.

I didn't come here for the Sanzu River copy.

I'm not here for tourism.

But I'm here for a date!

Chapter 444: The owl god steals food and steals the country's destiny?

Li Re was certainly not here for a 'date' - instead, he was here to explore the ancient player ruins, seeking 'death' and 'becoming stronger'.

But the death and strength he sought were actually for a better life.

He never lacks the leisure and pleasure of life.

Even though he is already a high-ranking silver-level player, for ordinary people he can easily destroy cities and cut off rivers, and is almost like a god. However, in Li Re's own opinion, he still has to live. He can live without food, sleep, and live in the open air, but such a life is meaningless to him.

So sightseeing in leisure time is just a natural thing.

Exploring the remains of ancient players is just a side job.

This is exactly the mentality that he has accumulated after experiencing countless "failures", which allows him to clearly recognize himself.

Just obviously.

He has this mentality.

But Asamamiya Kamiko didn't.

After Li Re had spent half a day touring Kyoto and seeing the many prosperous historical sites of this thousand-year-old capital of Japan, she, who had acted as a tour guide for half a day, finally couldn't help but speak.
