I am Jinshan Youxia

"And so, Kagome and I lived a shameless and carefree life."

Zhang Chengyi simply recounted the major events in Inuyasha's life, without going into too much detail. He tried to avoid mentioning people and things that weren't directly related to Inuyasha, and just gave a general overview of what happened. He didn't want to waste too much time going into detail.

After saying that, he casually tossed the Tessaiga to Coral, then transformed back into a small mouse and jumped onto Kirara, ordering, "Let's go check out the Bone-Eating Well."

Compared to specializing one's own body, transforming into someone else's appearance takes up far more of one's spirit, and an incompatible body will cause one's spirit to constantly dissipate. It's much easier to be a mouse, as you don't need any extra steps to change size.

"Uh, yes, Lord Rat God."

Sango, who was lost in thought, paused for a moment and came back to her senses. Although the story was mainly told from Inuyasha's perspective, it still mentioned the destruction of the demon hunters' stronghold and her becoming Inuyasha's companion to fight Naraku. Even without more details, she couldn't help but wonder what would happen if her family were all dead.

Will she break down? Or will she, like the woman the Rat God casually mentioned, suppress her inner sorrow and fight against Naraku?

What is he thinking when he's all alone?

Before Coral could react, Mica had already darted to the Bone-Eating Well outside the village. She watched Zhang Chengyi jump into the well, then quickly followed, carrying the rusty Tessaiga, and peered into the well.

Zhang Chengyi jumped up and down in the well for a while, and Cuizi said tactfully:

"I'm sorry, Lord Rat God, it's my fault..."

"What am I if you're incompetent?" Zhang Chengyi said casually. He really didn't blame Cui Zi. He shook his head, climbed outside, stood at the well opening, rubbed his chin with his paws, and showed a thoughtful expression.

According to the setting book, the Bone Eater's Well can throw the remains of demons into other timelines. After Kagome appeared, it became a passage connecting the Sengoku period and the modern era. The setting book mentions that the Bone Eater's Well "seems to have self-awareness" and that its identity is "a sealed ancient well," which is quite interesting.

What's even more worthy of exploration is that the setting of the Well of Bones mentions that "the monsters disappeared at some point," which is why the Well of Bones lost its mission. Furthermore, after Kagome turned fifteen, the Well of Bones "began to fulfill its duty of connecting time again."

That's a lot of information.

First, the Well of Bone Eaters is sealed.

Secondly, the well that eats bones [seems to be conscious].

Thirdly, the monsters will disappear one day in the future.

Fourth, the duty and mission of the Bone-Eating Well is not to throw monsters into other timelines, but to [connect time].

"Lord Rat God." Coral interrupted Zhang Chengyi's thoughts somewhat awkwardly, her face showing a hard-won determination, and said:

"How can I know my future?"

"what?"

Zhang Chengyi looked up in surprise, and when he saw the somewhat bewildered girl, he suddenly realized something.

Even Inuyasha is considered a small fry among the offspring of great demons, let alone the other members of the main group.

Kagome Higurashi is fifteen years old, while the battle-hardened demon-slaying girl before them is only sixteen...

They are really taking on a lot of responsibilities that they shouldn't have to bear at such a young age.

Zhang Chengyi thought that, as an adult, he probably couldn't do any better than the two girls. Instead of making some strange requests, he gave a gentle smile that no one could understand, jumped onto Coral's shoulder, and placed his furry little paw on her forehead, saying:

"Don't worry, your fate has been changed. With Midori's barrier, Naraku will never be able to breach your home no matter what."

"Besides, I've already taken the Shikon Jewel, so there's no way he can go there again."

He didn't intend to use the tragic experiences the girl in front of him should have gone through as a topic of conversation or a bargaining chip. He simply said softly, "A future without me will not come. You don't need to worry about it."

"Don't worry, I'm Zhang Chengyi, the Kingsoft Ranger."

Coral couldn't see the Rat God from her perspective, but hearing the voice and the confident announcement of his name, all her worries and fears about the future suddenly vanished.

"Yes." She lowered her head, looking at the deep well bottom, recalling her childhood experiences hunting monsters in the dark.

The reason she was able to focus on her performance and grow step by step was because her father was there.

Right now, she feels at ease...

"Hey, I have an idea." Zhang Chengyi's sudden excited voice interrupted Shanhu's thoughts, and then she heard the Rat God say in her ear, "Take Yunmu and retreat."

Coral obediently retreated into the forest with Mica.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chengyi's figure rapidly expanded, quickly transforming into a towering giant, well, giant rat.

"Crack~ Boom!" The leg hairs fluttering in the wind lashed against the trees, knocking down several large trees in the nearby woods.

Coral looked up, stunned.

When the giant field mouse appeared, Inuyasha and his group from the village also ran over to watch, mainly worried that the giant field mouse might cause trouble.

"Wow, so big!" Qibao's mouth dropped open, his face and eyes filled with shock and envy.

Kikyo frowned as she looked at it. The demonic aura was clean, without any foul smell, evil energy, or miasma.

But just as the demon of the first tomb could see it, she could also tell that the field mouse's soul was actually very weak, and it shouldn't be able to support such a large size.

"Sister." While everyone was looking at the field mouse, Granny Kaede stood behind Kikyo and whispered, "About you and Inuyasha..."

It's time to let go.

She truly wished that her sister would no longer have to live such a painful life.

Kikyo seemed not to hear, only her eyes deepened.

Zhang Chengyi didn't move around casually. He had made himself so big that even the slightest movement could cause the wind to overturn Maple Village. After getting used to his body for a while, the white ball on his body quickly fell off and used his versatile abilities to burrow underground.

He controlled the white ball and tried to dig through the Bone-Eating Well, but unfortunately, the soil around the well seemed endless, and no matter how the white ball dug, it could not get into the well from underground.

Unsurprisingly.

Zhang Chengyi smiled slightly, then had the white ball of energy begin to dig a path through the ground around the Bone-Eating Well.

Okay, you're awesome, controlling the flow of time. Even the powerful Cui Zi can't do anything to you now, but can you control the entire earth?

"Crack~ Crack~" Cracks appeared in the ground around the Bone Eater's Well, and loose soil and stones emerged in swells.

At this moment, even Grandma Feng, who wanted to chat with her sister some more, looked over with full attention.

Zhang Chengyi moved his chin, then excitedly and slowly extended his claws, inserting them into the cracks in the ground. Each claw penetrated deep into the ground, growing longer at an extremely fast speed and circling the soil around the Bone-Eating Well, merging together.

Chapter 191 Devour!

"Crack! Boom! Crash!"

The huge cylindrical clod of earth was firmly wrapped in a white ball and pulled out of the ground by Zhang Chengyi's slender claws.

He did a good job of cutting and reinforcing the external soil. Apart from a loud bang when it was pulled out, there was no shaking or strange noise on the ground. Only a few bits of soil and rock debris fell off the walls of the underground pit.

But a giant field mouse holding an equally large white cylinder would be a little scary to anyone.

"It pulled out the Well of Bones?"

Inuyasha murmured, as a half-demon who had witnessed Zhang Chengyi copy things twice, he almost instinctively murmured, "It won't swallow it again, will it?"

Before the words were even finished, the giant field mouse's chin slid down rapidly, almost touching the ground. Then, the giant field mouse tilted its head slightly, grabbed the Bone-Eating Well with its paws, and stuffed it into its mouth.

"..." Everyone around was stunned.

"Hiccup~"

Zhang Chengyi let out a burp, followed by a very strong earthy smell mixed with evil, miasma, demonic energy and other messy smells coming from his stomach, making him feel nauseous and causing snot and tears to stream down his face.

The data modification interface was immediately flooded with a lot of random and nonsensical content.

"Ugh~" While his body was dry heaving, his main consciousness was already frantically modifying everything coming out of his stomach to zero.

This garbage is endless, with no sign of stopping.

However, the modder was not to be underestimated. After quickly getting used to the speed at which junk appeared, it became very easy to deal with it. Often, before it even reached the user's stomach, it would appear out of nowhere and be reflected in the numerical values. Deleting it in a second was not difficult at all.

After dealing with the garbage that had appeared out of nowhere, Zhang Chengyi finally had time to glance at the Bone-Eating Well that he had just hastily swallowed.

The Well of Bone Eaters - Remnants

Well, how should I put it? The data reading from the modifier made it clear to him that this was a part of the real Bone Eater's Well, but it was incomplete. Only its size and quantity could be adjusted. Its ability was to connect to the time stream, but the problem was that the ability to connect to the time stream was grayed out and could not be enabled, let alone modified.

Why is it incomplete? And why can't the timeline be connected?

With some doubt in his mind, Zhang Chengyi adjusted the size of the Well of Bones. Well, the smaller it was, the less trash appeared out of thin air; the larger it was, the more trash appeared.

I don't understand the principle behind it. After all, the Well of Bones is a very mysterious thing in the manga, and the time travel setting is too far-fetched. Describing it too much would easily lead to unsolvable bugs, so it's normal and reasonable for the original author to omit it.

Now that he's actually in this absurd world, he's really annoyed if he doesn't figure things out.

“Lord Rat God, if it is the Well of Bone Eaters,” Midori hesitated for a moment before speaking, “those things that just appeared might have been thrown into the well in the past or in the future.”

Zhang Chengyi was not surprised at all; he had already guessed it. He said, "I know that."

Suiko continued, “Lord Rat God, all those things are fresh.” She lived inside the Rat God’s belly and could sense everything clearly. “There are also some monster corpses that I personally threw in. They are very fresh, as if they were just thrown in.”

"interesting."

Zhang Chengyi vaguely sensed something was wrong, as if the thing had just been thrown in.

Let's make a simple assumption: what if it really was just thrown into the well, but the incomplete Bone-Eating Well inside its own stomach became a dumping ground for other Bone-Eating Wells?

Given the setting that the Well of Bones exists in every era, the complete well might be the sum of countless wells across countless timelines. Therefore, swallowing only one well would be considered incomplete on an informational level.

Even though it's incomplete, it can still connect to other timelines, so why can't it be used?

Theoretically, what he swallowed should be able to unlock certain functions at the information level through data modification. After all, once it entered his stomach, it became part of his body. He could even command Cui Zi's spiritual power, let alone a well that currently seemed to have no consciousness or soul. Could it be...?

"It must be because the Well of Bones in other timelines keeps dumping garbage."

The answer is obvious.

Or rather, it's out in the open because the garbage from other time streams has already filled up the ability to connect time streams, so after he reads it, he can neither use it nor modify it.

However, the garbage in the Bone-Eating Well shouldn't be endless.

Zhang Chengyi's point can be confirmed because the timeline in the Inuyasha world is not a parallel world like the time travel in Dragon Ball; it is a genuine journey through the past and future, and there are even suspected individuals maintaining the stability of the timeline.

Why was the Well of Bones sealed, and why did it wait until Kagome Higurashi was fifteen to send her back to the Sengoku period? Even Inuyasha can occasionally travel to the modern era, but others can't. This is clearly not a coincidence; it's something that history has already decided, so the future has to make it work.

Since it's destined that the Well of Bones will be abandoned in the future, the amount of garbage dumped in the past is obviously fixed. However, this amount is too huge, and it is probably impossible to dump all the garbage in a short period of time.

[Would it speed up the process if I copied more? Or would it create a new timeline?]

As Zhang Chengyi thought about it, his body swelled up, creating a new well inside his stomach, and then the garbage started gushing out at double the rate.

Come to think of it, the Well of Bones is not the flow of time itself, but merely a connection to the flow of time. Having an extra well simply means opening another opening in the flow of time, and it cannot affect the amount of time flow.

[Once I've taken out the trash, will I be able to connect to the timeline and throw things away at will?]

[My copying ability is even more powerful than I imagined? I can actually create holes in the timeline at will.]
