Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

The Otherworld: Oh no, they're going to pull my trachea!

Fortunately, Yan Ling is only foul-mouthed; she is completely incapable of actually taking revenge on her sister.

Enma naturally knew this.

But a younger sister is meant to be bullied, and Enma wouldn't miss the chance to discipline Kotodama.

"Putting aside me, Lord Gu Yun also sculpted your image quite well."

Enma hugged Yanling and started to cuddle with the little female demon sister. Their two fair faces, one big and one small, were squeezed together, which made Yanling cry out in dissatisfaction.

Chapter 328 The Origin of the Perfect Spiritual Rank

"Let me go, you idiot, Enma!"

"Don't let it go."

"Let go right now!!"

"hehe."

Enma held Yanling in her arms like a large white-haired doll. She came to Gu Yun and gave him a proper bow: "Thank you for your grace. How should I address you?"

"Just call me Gu Yun."

Enma naturally knew Gu Yun's name, but she felt it was inappropriate to address him by his name directly: "Well then, Lord Gu Yun, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Enma, the Will of the Otherworld."

"Well, please give me some advice."

Gu Yun was very happy about Yanmo's arrival.

He could tell that Enma was the mature type, and he was missing a shikigami like that by his side.

"Oh dear, it seems that the gods and demons around Lord Gu Yun are causing you a lot of trouble."

Enma instantly noticed the change in Gu Yun's mindset. She looked around, her gaze shifting from Suzuka Gozen to the others before finally settling on Miketsu: "Jōse, don't you usually help Lord Gu Yun with his affairs?"

"Ara~~"

Miketsu blinked and said cutely, "Little Gu Yun doesn't usually have anything to do."

"Aha?"

Enma raised an eyebrow, put down the Word of Power, and walked straight to Miketsu.

At this time, Miketsu was in her SSR form and had not yet activated her Inari God form, so she was shorter than Enma by a head.

However, Miketsu is not an arrogant person. She has a gentle and easy-going personality. Although she has a certain violent gene in her bones, she usually does not show it.

Especially when facing Enma, Miketsu had a beaming smile on her face.

She wouldn't confront Enma directly, but she wasn't afraid of him in the slightest either.

"That's why you're suppressed by the gods."

Enma felt helpless towards Miketsu. The other party was not a Word Spirit, and purely in terms of seniority, Jōse was actually older than her, and could be considered an elder sister among all the world's wills.

If the Pure World hadn't perished once, the current Twelve Great Wills might still be led by Miketsuhime.

"Was I killed by the gods before?"

"No."

Enma knew that Miketsu had no memories of the past, and the latter seemed to have no intention of investigating.

"Although my knowledge is incomplete, you were destroyed by a human."

At this point, Enma glanced at Gu Yun subconsciously. Gu Yun was taken aback and quickly asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Gu Yun felt that Yama's gaze was a bit strange, as if he were the one who killed the previous generation of Jing Shi.

But how is this possible?

Gu Yun is only ten years old; even including his previous life, he is far from old enough.

"Ah, now that you mention it, that person does indeed resemble Lord Gu Yun quite a bit."

Yanmo initially only glanced at him casually, but as Gu Yun reacted, she began to examine the young man more closely. To her surprise, she found that Gu Yun's demeanor gave her a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"That person's matter is a taboo; in principle, it shouldn't be told to anyone."

Enma looked at Miketsu: "Even if you ask me, I can't say. It's a rule, and it's also a restriction placed on us, the world's will."

The fact that they can place restrictions on the world's will shows just how terrifying the power of the person behind it is.

As far as Gu Yun knew, it seemed that only Da Luo Tian could do such a thing: "Da Luo Tian killed the predecessor of Yu Zan Jin?"

"..."

Enma smiled slightly and asked, "Lord Gu Yun, are you asking me something?"

"Um, can't I say?"

Gu Yun: "Sorry, I forgot."

"It's okay."

Enma said, "If it's Lord Gu Yun, then this restriction is meaningless."

"Ok?"

Gu Yun thought of his perfect spiritual rank: "Is it because of my spiritual rank?"

"I don't know, or rather, I'm not sure."

Yama scrutinized Gu Yun, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that Gu Yun resembled someone he knew: "This restriction was indeed placed by the Great Luo Heaven, but it was not Him who killed the previous generation of the Cleanser."

The Great Luo Heaven may have harbored ill intentions towards Gu Yun, but He has never interfered in matters of the mortal world.

His attitude leaned more towards the Taoist concept of non-action.

Let everything take its natural course; fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Let us wait patiently for that moment to arrive.

In other words, if Da Luo Tian really interfered in something, then He wouldn't be Da Luo Tian.

Enma has that much confidence.

“Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have spoken up,” Yama said, “but I have told you the secrets of this place, Lord Gu Yun, which shows that the restrictions of the Great Luo Heaven have lost their effect at this moment.”

However, this only applies when Gu Yun is present. If Gu Yun is not present, Yama still cannot reveal the secret to others.

"Unfortunately, because of the existence of the Perfect Spirit Rank, I cannot be certain of my guess."

There are actually three possibilities for why Yama can speak: "First, the Great Luo Heaven himself is here and has lifted the restriction."

"Unfortunately, that's impossible."

Yama could clearly sense that the Great Luo Heaven's restrictions were still in place; He had sealed off the entire world, and no one could learn the truth of what happened back then through any means.

This blockade is extremely comprehensive, with absolutely no loopholes.

Only Gu Yun was in a forbidden zone, and even the Great Luo Heaven could not stop Gu Yun from seeking knowledge.

"The second possibility is that they were participants in that incident."

Enma only knew the secret, but she was not involved.

After all, she had only just obtained a physical body. When the Pure World perished, Yama did not even exist: "As far as I know, there were not many people who participated in the Pure World's demise, and those who are still alive are even fewer."

"Theoretically, this second option should also be ruled out."

"But Lord Gu Yun, you really resemble someone I know."

"Therefore, I cannot make a judgment."

The third possibility is a perfect spirit level. If Yama hadn't sensed déjà vu, she would have thought it was Gu Yun's spirit level, thus breaking the restriction.

But now, Enma dares not think that way anymore.

“If we can find the answer to this question,” Enma gazed at Gu Yun, “we might be able to know the origin of Lord Gu Yun’s perfect spiritual rank.”

"The Origin of the Perfect Spiritual Rank!"

Upon hearing this, not only Gu Yun, but all the shikigami present showed expressions of surprise.

Especially the Word Spirits and Miketsu, as the will of the world, possess countless inherited information from the moment they are born.

It was precisely because of this that the two women understood even more clearly just how incredible the miraculous power of the Perfect Spirit Rank truly was.

"You two."

Enma didn't explain immediately, but instead gave Kotodama a disappointed look: "Mikoto died once and lost all her memories, so it's reasonable that she doesn't know."

"But what's wrong with you, you idiot? Don't you really know anything at all?"
