I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 335 Legendary Evolution Path: Three Faces in One, Becoming Prajna! Yin Yang Grand Master, Nanjo Manami, The Great Purge
[Evolution Route 1 (Super Epic): Wrathful Prajna]

【Epic Quest: The Wrathful Prajna】

[Completion Requirements: Ensure that "Demon Incarnation - Crimson Prajna" completes the Heavenly Trial and reaches a rank of four stars.]

—What the world rages against, you shall possess.

Uesugi Tetsuya was taken aback by the rather brief "completion conditions".

The conditions for completing this evolutionary path seem surprisingly simple?
As long as the ascension to the demon realm is completed normally, the countless Red Hannya figures that have been killed by the Onmyoji Bureau's Special Affairs Department can be found everywhere on the streets...

He transformed into a "hidden incarnation" he had never heard of before, the Wrathful Prajna!
Even if his Wrathful Prajna is not as powerful as the Great Ara God who was blessed by Mount Ooe and was killed by Hoshiguma Doji, his potential should still be considered high among the Ara Gods.

Uesugi Tetsuya is already very satisfied that the half-star avatar he initially drew has the opportunity to reach this level.

After all, he has more than one incarnation, "Prajna".

But the evolutionary path doesn't stop there.

Uesugi Tetsu lowered his gaze and saw a more darker prompt below—

[Evolutionary Route Two (Legend): Red, White, Laughter!]

[Legendary Quest: Red, White, Laughter]

[Completion Condition 1: Make "Demon Incarnation - Crimson Prajna" complete the Heavenly Trial and reach the four-star rank.]

[Completion Condition 2: Obtain the key evolution items "Mask of the Vengeful One" and "Mask of the Jealous One," and use them before "Demon Incarnation: Red Hannya" reaches four stars.]

[—Angry red, jealous white, resentful laughter! These three aspects combined constitute Prajna!]

This is the second legendary quest that Uesugi Tetsu has received since "The Parting Cut".

However, there is still a difference in the difficulty of completing the two tasks.

The "Separation" mission seems to require slaying demons and gods, as well as wild gods. How could he possibly accomplish that now? On the other hand, the legendary evolution mission of the Crimson Prajna before him...

Uesugi Tetsu blinked and looked at the extra "completion condition two".

Compared to a "normal" advancement to the Wrath-Controlling Prajna, he would need to obtain the "Face of Resentment-Controlling Prajna" and the "Face of Jealousy-Controlling Prajna".
If we think about it logically, if the Wrathful Prajna is the evolutionary direction of the Red Prajna, then these two should be the evolutionary directions of the Laughing Prajna and the White Prajna, respectively.

In the legendary quest "Red, White, Laughter", he needs to obtain all three masks before Prajna transforms into a demon god!

Only then can it be considered that the mission has been truly completed.

This also corresponds to the situation of his Prajna incarnation, from the weak and laughing Prajna all the way.

If he can achieve this, when Prajna transforms into a demon or god, let alone ordinary demons or gods, even the renowned Wrathful Prajna might not be a match for him.

But the key question is—

He also needs to collect two masks of the same level as the Righteousness and the Righteous Jealousy... and the Righteousness Mask was something he obtained by chance from Hoshiguma Doji.

It's important to know that the Mask of Wrath was obtained from the Great Aragami that Hoshiguma Doji slew during the Heian period.

The Great Wilderness God... is probably even stronger than Factory Owner Z in his prime.

Even if you tied a hundred Uesugi Tetsuya together, it probably wouldn't be enough for a Great Wilderness God to blow in one breath.

Moreover, the world is so vast that rare species like the Wrathful and Vengeful Prajna are probably impossible to find!

The Black Man's Book might not be effective against beings of high rank; and buying information from Sheng Hai wouldn't yield enough Soul Ashes...

So let's look at the second method.

[Completion Condition Two (Optional): Accumulate enough "resentment" and "jealousy," and find a master blacksmith or higher to forge a unique Prajna Mask for you.]

[Note: When you are resented, doubted, or envied by a self-aware being, your "resentment value" and "jealousy value" will continue to rise until they reach their maximum.]

Floating next to the optional prompts are a black and a white Hannya mask.

However, both images are blurry, just as the hint suggests, and should be filled with resentment and jealousy.

Although the demand for this quantity will be enormous, it's still much more reliable than finding two Great Wilderness Gods in the mortal world and then going to kill them.

This is the one I'll choose!

You have chosen evolutionary path two—red, white, and laughter!

The prompt appeared, and the two blurry masks, one black and one white, landed in Uesugi Tetsu's hands.

[Resentment - 0%]

Jealousy - 0%

Black Mask represents resentment, while White Mask represents jealousy.

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was about to use his Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyes to study the two masks more thoroughly, he saw the numbers on the white mask move slightly.

Jealousy - 0.11%

?

Uesugi Che was stunned.

In just a few seconds, the progress bar increased by more than 0.1 percent?

Are you really playing games here?
At this rate of growth, it probably won't be more than two or three days before Jealousy Mask's progress bar reaches 100%.

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the ever-increasing progress bar on the Jealous Mask, then glanced at the motionless Resentment Mask beside him, and fell into deep thought.

There shouldn't be a bug; rather, someone, or rather, many people, are currently jealous of him.

After a while, a look of understanding flashed across Uesugi Tetsu's eyes.

If he's right, it's probably because of the previous seeding battle.

He won the title in the seeding battle and remained undefeated from start to finish. Plus, that girl Ririko openly declared her dominance in the ring in front of so many spectators and cameras...

He can be described as a "winner in life".

In this era of terrifyingly efficient information dissemination, Uesugi Tetsuya estimates that at least several million, or even tens of millions, of people know him or have seen him.

Even if only one-tenth or less of these people are "envious" of him, with such a terrifying number, the number of people who envy him and want to be like him is still countless.

Naturally, that's why the progress bar for Jealousy Mask increases so quickly.

This was truly an unexpected delight.

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but smile easily—he hadn't expected that half of the problem would be solved before he even started thinking of a solution.

Isn't this much faster than running off to chop down some great deity?
However, the progress bar for Resentment Mask is practically crawling, more than a hundred times slower than Envy.

Uesugi Tetsu thought that it was probably because he hadn't done anything wrong during the seeding battle and had just played the good guy...

Tsk, I should have said more bad things and played the bad guy.

Once you leave the big stage of seed battle live streaming, it will be much harder to evoke emotional responses from millions of people.

Furthermore, Uesugi Tetsu speculated that the level of this "resentment" must be so high that "he wished he could kill Uesugi Tetsu."

In the real world, it is generally difficult for ordinary people to have such feelings for a complete stranger.

He can't possibly go around profusely declaring "I don't eat beef" and then have someone film him to expose him... How could he possibly survive in the real world after that?

In the ordinary world, apart from the Demon Guide Association lurking in the shadows and the factory owner who could easily destroy him now, ordinary demons would never have this concept.

However, things were different in the Warring States period. If Uesugi Tetsu could go to the Warring States period, he could make other daimyo want to tear him to pieces, and with a few tricks, make his commoners and soldiers want to kill him.

This is not difficult to do, and the consequences are easy to eliminate—just let Imagawa Yoshimoto wipe out the other daimyo and leaders, and then after a few decades everything will be as if nothing ever happened.

Not bad.

Uesugi Tetsu added another objective to his next trip to the Sengoku period.

These are not the only tips.

[Because you have used the key evolution item "Wrath-Controlling Prajna Mask" on "Demon Incarnation: Crimson Prajna", your demon talent—Demon God, Bloodthirsty Crimson—has been strengthened!]

[At the same time, your body has become stronger due to the influence of the Wrathful Prajna Mask, your Constitution +5!]

A surge of power, which would be considered powerful even by ordinary three-and-a-half-star fighters, welled up within Uesugi Tetsuya's body, and he expertly brought it under his control.

Uesugi Tetsu glanced at his physical attributes.

Physical Strength: 105 + 5 = 110

Looking at the talents in the Red Prajna panel again, I found that "Demon God" and "Bloodlust Red" only had a "+" sign after them, and the talent descriptions were unchanged.

They've probably just enhanced the effects a bit, without any major fundamental changes.

But that's enough. With 5 points of physique after reaching 105 points in physique, plus the enhancement from two commonly used talents.

Even the little bit of power left between the fingers of the Great Wilderness God is not insignificant.

If the three masks of resentment, jealousy, and anger were to come together, and if this Red Prajna were to advance to the level of a demon god, who knows what kind of scene would unfold!
In today's vast world, the fact that Prajna could spontaneously gather all three masks is, without exaggeration, certainly a rare existence.

Putting away his black and white masks, Uesugi Tetsu returned to the real world.

Yuanjia Guest House.

The group of people outside didn't notice anything, only Qing, who was originally amazed by the various high-tech advancements of modern times and the fact that everyone could have enough to eat, lost his attention.

He looked into the inner room.

—Only a few minutes have passed, and Lord Uesugi's physical body has become even stronger?
Sensing something, Uesugi Tetsu also looked towards Ao through the half-open wooden door and smiled.

—Never mind, this is a good thing.

Qing greeted him and then returned to her Wikipedia studies.

Uesugi Tetsu took out his phone and was surprised to find that he could still connect to the internet at the Gen family's house.

That's good, at least it saves him from leaving too early.

Afterwards, I'm going to Fushimi Inari Shrine. I'll ask the netizen who recommended it to me, "Go Die at Work," and then ask Nanjo-nee—after all, they're both from the Nanjo family.

I can also ask Nanjo-nee what the current situation is in Hokkaido.

When Uesugi Tetsu opened Line, he found that the profile picture for "Go to hell with work" was grayed out, indicating that the user was offline.

Nanjo's profile picture is glowing, but she hasn't updated her personal status in a long time.

Uesugi Tetsuya was about to open the chat interface when his finger paused slightly.

【Yin-Yang Grand Master - Nanjo Ai-mi】

Nanjo-nee, you went straight from Onmyo Daishu to Onmyo Daike?

Uesugi Tetsu had never paid attention to the power structure of the Special Affairs Bureau, but if it were to be modeled after the Yin-Yang Bureau... shouldn't there be a level like [Yin-Yang Junior Assistant] in between?
In other words, Nanjo jumped two levels in one go?

To put it more bluntly, it's like suddenly going from "district head" to "high-ranking official"?

The Special Affairs Bureau doesn't have many "provinces" under its control, and the one she went to was a large province in a remote border region.

It's likely that Nanjo Manami's current rank in the Special Affairs Bureau is only slightly lower than that of the Central Five in Tokyo.

"No wonder I was in such a hurry after I fainted, and I ran away without even saying goodbye."

Uesugi Tetsuya typed and smiled: "Looks like I need to hurry up and become a high-ranking official."

[Tsuki-suna-chan: Nanjo-nee, what's it like being the Yin-Yang Grand Master? And what's the situation like in Hokkaido?]

He waited a moment, and just as he was about to put down his phone, a voice message popped up.

voice?

Uesugi Tetsuya found it strange.

It's worth noting that Nanjo Manami rarely uses voice communication when she talks to him.

Click on Voice.

Nanjo Aisina's characteristically businesslike and detached tone during working hours rang out: "Nothing much, it's just that this branch of the Special Affairs Department is a bit far from Tokyo..."

Because of a lack of oversight, they, along with local government officials who hadn't yet grasped the situation, did some foolish things.

It's nothing, don't worry.

But aside from this coldness, Uesugi Tetsu could also hear the weariness and exhaustion in his voice—he probably hadn't had a proper rest for a few days.

"As for Yin Yang Dayun? I haven't really paid attention to that... It's just that the little ox has become a big ox, and there are still very few people here, so I have to do everything myself."

Remember to tell Ran and Zhenxia that they can come over in a couple of days. Their salaries and benefits will be greatly improved, and they can even travel and buy snacks on public funds.

They can take on any position, from junior to senior, at will, and if they don't finish their work, they can exploit others.

Nanjo Aimi sent two more voice messages, but there were some strange noises in them, making her words a little unclear.

Uesugi Tetsu laughed after hearing that.

He couldn't hear anything about the welfare improvements or the job selection... Nanjo's two sentences were filled with two terrifying words!
--work overtime!
—Work overtime! Work overtime! Work overtime!
He couldn't burst this bubble, because Nanjo Aimi was a true, ever-present, and constantly wanting-to-lie-down employee, but forced to serve the people as a special affairs officer and a corporate slave.

If two more of her familiar calves and horses were transported there, the people of Hokkaido would truly be blessed.

[Tsuki-suna-chan: Okay, got it.]

Just as he was about to put down his phone so as not to disturb Nanjo Aimi, and instead ask his online friend about Fushimi Inari Shrine, another voice message popped up.

"No wonder there are so many demons and monsters here, and even the outlying areas are plagued by ghost stories..."

In addition, the "pfft pfft" sounds that were part of the background audio are now clearer.

[Tsuki-suna-chan: The second wave is still a long way off, how can ghost stories be so rampant? Seriously, Nanjo-neechan, what's going on in Hokkaido?]

"Huh? Oh, I forgot to turn off my phone..."

"Never mind, it's not a problem for you to know about this a day or two in advance, Uesugi-kun."

puff!

This time, the sound of some kind of liquid gushing out was exceptionally clear and exceptionally close!
Nanjo Manami's voice came calmly: "It's nothing serious, I was just swinging the knife down from above."

"Swing your sword, strike a pose, exercise your body, you know?"

puff!

puff!puff!
puff!puff!puff!

　The bug where Nanjo Aimi's identity was revealed in yesterday's chapter has been fixed. Thank you to the reader for pointing it out.
