Chapter 348: Chapter 78 Evil Spirit Arthur, Tokyo Foodie (Request for Monthly Tickets)

"Ah?"

Seeing himself shooting straight up into the sky, Xu Shu’s eyes widened.

The Ksitigarbha still held some power!

That slap was as powerful as a Palm Leaf Fan, sending him flying across the seas to a place where he had once fought fiercely.

Moreover, he was unharmed, and Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua only felt a bit dizzy before returning to normal. Such an ability could truly be called divine skills.

"It’s a pity I lost my staff, but I can ask Jing Xiaohua to craft a new Purple Staff for me. The only difference is the lack of a special spiritual body seal, and of course, it slightly affects my strength, given that I’ve lost some spiritual pressure, heh..."

Xu Shu’s face first showed a confident smile.

But then, in the next moment, he remembered something.

...Damn, Christina’s remnant spirit was still in that sealed item [Purple Staff]!

Xu Shu’s mouth twitched, his expression gradually freezing on his face.

It was over now. He could only hope that Christina was lucky since she currently didn’t have any consciousness left, so Xu Shu wasn’t overly worried.

Besides, at this moment, he was out of options.

Returning to the original place would take him more than a day, but Ksitigarbha, judging by his demeanor of making final arrangements, was clearly preparing to risk his life against Althias and would definitely not stay put.

Also, from the way he talked, it mostly seemed like slim chances.

"Looks like Ksitigarbha is doomed. It’s just a matter of how soon."

"Poor my cheap mother’s remnant spirit. It seems she can only reincarnate now, no longer lingering in the human world."

"Speaking of which, Ksitigarbha, until the end, never did tell me [Tailed Ksitigarbha] what it really was, though he himself showed an enlightened demeanor, as if he had understood something..."

"I swear, one day when the power’s in my hand, I’ll eventually kill all those puzzling people in the world!"

Xu Shu clenched his fist tightly.

At this point, pondering further was meaningless. Xu Shu could only mourn his foster mother in silence for three minutes.

The matter with Tailed Ksitigarbha was probably over too.

However, Ksitigarbha earlier mentioned that his destiny was in Japan. So, he really did have some tricks up his sleeve!

Only Xu Shu knew that he indeed had a fate in Japan—more precisely, a fate awaiting fulfillment.

Shen Valley First-class! His other identity was right in this world, within the same timeframe!

Xu Shu looked up at the name plaque of the ancient temple in the picture.

Capital City! Shimizu Temple...

Shimizu Temple?

Shimizu Temple!

Xu Shu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He slapped his forehead, remembering something.

That year himself (Shen Valley First-class), because he continuously practiced without progress in curse power, expressed his great discomfort.

At that time, a cold-but-warm-hearted senior sister who had developed feelings over time came to comfort him. As emotions ran deep, they got together.

And then he felt better, no longer uncomfortable.

Not only that, after that, Shen Valley First-class officially became a Transcendent, broke through to become a "Third-level Curse Master," and thereafter irreversibly embarked on the crooked path of exceeding the ordinary, understanding the true path of transcendence.

Originally, he was following in the footsteps of his ancestors, battling the Sakura People and proving the way of killing.

Instead, well, not much different, still dealing with the Sakura People, proving the way of the Enchanting Demon.

All in all, not much difference.

After that, he advanced triumphantly and ushered in a new era of the Curse World for Shen Valley First-class.

And calculating the time, it was exactly on New Year’s Eve, tonight, February 17, 2122, Shen Valley First-class broke through the last thin barrier and became a Third-level Curse Master.

And the reason for the early occurrence of the divine descent in this world, as it turns out, is also related to this path of transcendence.

Facing the disaster of the "Night Parade of Hundred Demons" stirred up by Ghost King Yoshi Tsune, the entire Japan Curse World and Curse Spirits encountered their peak match, and when facing imminent defeat, Xu Shu unleashed an unprecedented Summoning Technique, directly summoning ’Izanami’ to descend upon the human world and, "just missing restoring humanity, alas, unsuccessful," ultimately destroying the whole of Japan and triggering the global descent of the gods.

This matter, actually, Xu Shu has so far had no regrets about.

Just as the comment in the Tai Chu Scroll after each legend ends says "Life is like chess, moves once made cannot be undone," the past cannot be changed.

Moreover, at that time, he used several Heavenly Defiance keywords, directly promoting the legend of the green fate by two levels, obtaining the Flawless Level purple reward. Xu Shu was still quite satisfied.

However, the recent legends have been rewarding poorly, leading him to feel somewhat upset indeed.

But, lack of regrets does not mean he didn’t want to stir up something big.

Xu Shu still remembered the sentence at the end of the legend—"Perhaps years later, there might be a way to make amends, yet unknown?"—he initially thought this sentence was nonsense. What had happened had already occurred, how could it be ’made amends’? Utterly ridiculous.

Unexpectedly, today he actually came to the same world on the same timeline through the legend.

This... isn’t this exactly the fulfillment of trying to make amends!

If this time, after the descent of Izanami, what if she regains her humanity? What then?

Is it possible that he could go beyond her... mother’s level?

If so, might the reward this time possibly escalate by two levels again, or even three?

"Perfect, let’s give it a try! This trial is indeed a multi-benefit affair!"

"As for the method... well, I’ll just have to trouble Shen Valley First-class."
