Death God: A High-Dimensional Overlord, Starting by Devouring the Soul King

Chapter 143 Rukia and Sugawara Michizane

"This world is becoming more and more unfamiliar to me."

Rukia followed Michizane Kanbara into an abandoned temple outside the countryside.

The two casually brushed the dust off the stone bench and sat down. Rukia then remarked with considerable emotion that this was her true feeling, and that the world was indeed becoming more and more unfamiliar to her.

Especially after meeting Kanehara Michizane, Rukia witnessed his methods of "exorcising demons and monsters".

This was another ability she had never seen before. It didn't seem like the ability of a potion, and it was a blessing system, but Guan Yuan Daozhen didn't seem to have any faith at the moment.

To be honest, it's more like a unique ability of the spiritual particle system.

That so-called limitless technique is more like the soul essence ability that a Shinigami (death god) guides out with his Zanpakuto.

Although rare, she knew that there were beings in Soul Society who could spontaneously channel their soul abilities.

For example, Captain Hitsugaya in her previous life was said to have been found by Hyōrinmaru before he became a Shinigami. Even before he had any contact with Shinigami abilities, he was already able to release a cold spiritual pressure that could affect others.

However, Guan Yuandao is even stronger; according to him, he possessed it naturally from birth.

Of course, Rukia didn't know why, but she felt a sense of closeness when she saw Sugawara Michizane, or rather—

It feels like we're kindred spirits!

This feeling wasn't unique to her; Guan Yuandaozhen felt the same way, which is why the two of them have been talking ever since their first meeting.

"According to the notes left by our ancestors, our abilities seem to be related to a hidden being known as the Eye of the Mortal World."

Looking into Rukia's eyes, Sugawara Michizane thought for a moment and then revealed the deepest secret of the Sugawara family.

Only his grandfather, his father, and he knew the name Eye of the Mortal World.

His grandfather had also passed away when he was born, so his father was the one who told him about the Eye of the Mortal.

The Sugawara family was a scholarly family, and each generation of them became officials through examinations. However, despite reading countless books over decades, they still did not know much about the Eye of the Mortal World.

Why this mysterious entity chose them remains a mystery.

"The Eyes of the Mortal World?!"

But Rukia was startled when she heard the name!

Although she usually refers to the innkeeper as the Overlooker, the Overlooker's honorific name contains the words "Eye of the World."

So she immediately exclaimed in surprise!

She also conducted research in Europe for a period of time, observing both the observer's perspective and the worldly viewpoint.

After all, Rukia isn't a complete novice. Even if she's accepted the hostel's premise, she can't possibly believe everything she's told.

Especially in places like hostels, which are too mysterious and eerie, she definitely needs to investigate.

The hostel owners who look down on others are also a key focus of the investigation.

She had seen this name in some ancient books, though only a few, but she could vaguely recognize that it belonged to an extremely powerful and mysterious being.

Little did she know that she would encounter someone connected to her only two months after arriving in Japan.

Seeing the change in Rukia's eyes, Michizane Kanbara knew he had asked the right question. He said softly, "No wonder I felt this sense of closeness. It was because of Him."

"How much do you know about the eyes of the mortal world?"

"After I was born, my grandfather called me a chosen one of God, and the God who favored me was the great eye of the earth."

""

Sugawara no Michizane said, "According to the few records I have read in books, the Eye of the Mortal World is a being that even surpasses the gods. His eyes watch over everything, including the past, present, and future, and even all possibilities."

"The chosen one!"

Rukia was surprised again, of course she knew the concept of the Chosen One.

Those favored by the gods are beings who receive divine blessings and are therefore likely to possess extraordinary abilities that others cannot.

However, while ordinary people favored by the gods may have some differences, they shouldn't be as exaggerated as Guan Yuan Daozhen.

At least————

If you want to become a chosen one of the gods, you at the very least need to have a fervent faith in that deity, right?

However, Guan Yuan Daozhen was not very familiar with that Eye of the Mortal World!

This is no ordinary chosen one!

"It seems we can exchange some information." Seeing Rukia's expression, Michizane Kanagawa said, "I know many things can't be heard for free, so how about this—"

"If my intelligence is more valuable, I will not ask for any reward; but if your intelligence is more valuable, I will pay an equivalent reward."

Rukia was momentarily tempted.

Her interest wasn't entirely due to the possibility of learning information about those who looked down upon others from Michizane Kanbara; it was also because she had the impression that Michizane Kanbara would become a politician with immense influence and power in Japan in the future.

In this way, Guan Yuandaozhen might also be able to help him find the Blasphemy Slab!

Of course, Rukia would never directly reveal the desecration of the stone tablet, since she didn't believe anyone else could resist the temptation.

She just wanted the other person to help her find something; there was no need to reveal what it was.

Things at the hostel are generally kept confidential. This is not a requirement imposed by those in charge, but a requirement agreed upon by the travelers in the hostel.

After all, they are an organization whose main purpose is to change historical events. Simply put, they want to cause trouble. If they don't cause trouble, where do they start?

Such an organization would certainly not be accepted by others and would most likely be regarded as an evil organization.

Furthermore, the person looking down upon the hostel owner is a deity, but this deity is not the God of the church!

If this gets out, the Church's Inquisition will take notice!

Rukia had also signed a contract with them, promising never to reveal any information about the inn to unrelated parties.

But can Guan Yuandao really be considered an unrelated party?

Obviously not!

Sugawara no Michizane was the eye of the mortal world, the favored one who looked down upon the world!

Although she didn't know how he received this blessing, Rukia thought she could try to get Guan Yuanzhizhen into the inn.

The two sides then engaged in in-depth intelligence exchange.

Rukia told him about the inn, and Sugawara Michizane was very shocked to hear that the inn existed.

He immediately said, "This information is too valuable! I really don't know how to compensate you."

"Then help me find something."

Rukia smiled and said in a relaxed manner, "I came to Japan to find something."

"

"Oh!?" Guan Yuandaozhen asked curiously, "What could possibly make you travel all the way from the West to get here?"
