I am Jinshan Youxia

Zhang Chengyi held the smooth Shikon Jewel in his hand and said, "Suizi."

The white cocoon on Sesshomaru's body dispersed and fell to the ground, quickly burrowing deep into the ground and disappearing. His unconscious mother was also thrown over by the white ball.

"Goodbye, Big Dog." Zhang Chengyi stepped on Cui Zi's shoulder, and the two of them flew out of the cave, quickly taking off and disappearing from sight.

Sesshomaru held his mother in his arms, looked up and watched them leave before disappearing from the spot.

Chapter 210 Five Hundred Years in the Blink of an Eye

The underground world, inside the palace.

"You can't make a wish anymore."

Zhang Chengyi weighed the slightly damaged but still dazzling Shikon Jewel in his hand.

The Shikon Jewel was actually completely broken a long time ago and can never be whole again.

It all started because Zhang Chengyi recklessly disrupted the balance in the demon-slaying stronghold, sacrificing a piece of the Shikon Jewel in the process, which led to the birth of the current 'Suiko'.

Even if he could copy many more, there would always be one piece missing. Moreover, when he killed Naraku, the filth and his hand destroyed a part of it, resulting in the Shikon Jewel, which was eventually collected, having a small hole in it.

Qu Ling and the real Cui Zi's soul inside are no longer complete; the missing parts of them have become nourishment for the unborn half-demon 'Cui Zi'.

Since that's the case, let's do one last thing before falling asleep.

Zhang Chengyi swallowed the Shikon Jewel.

"Suiko," he reminded her, and then began to copy the pills one by one into Suiko's stomach.

Don't be fooled by Cui Zi's seemingly invincible spiritual power; it's not actually complete. The birth of a half-demon requires a physical body. As long as she remains inside Zhang Chengyi's body, she cannot develop a physical body and can only use her soul to drive her spiritual power. She cannot possess demonic power, let alone the miracles that can be displayed when she possesses both spiritual and demonic power simultaneously.

The Shikon Jewel has paved the way. As long as Midori continues to nourish her soul with the remaining Shikon Jewel, once she leaves and develops her own body, she will gain the same amount of demonic power as her spiritual power. Next, she needs to find a way to combine the sacred spiritual power with the evil demonic power to unleash the wish-granting effect of the Shikon Jewel.

If successful, it becomes a human-shaped wish-granting machine.

Controlling all opposing forces is not an easy task, and the defects of a half-demon cannot be remedied once she is born. She will lose one of her powers if she wants to become a complete demon or a complete human.

Therefore, every month, Cui Zi will lose her power for one night and will no longer be able to do whatever she wants like she was in Zhang Chengyi's belly, nor will she have the ability to transform into a white ball and possess infinite soul power.

This is the path she must take; she cannot remain an appendage to others forever.

"Lord Rat God."

Instead of immediately purifying the Shikon Jewel, Midori looked over with hesitation and reluctance, her face expressionless.

Zhang Chengyi jumped onto her shoulder, touched her cheek, and said, "I've never been someone who can't live without the strength of others. As a trainer, how can I stop you from becoming a legendary Pokémon?"

"I will soon fall into a deep sleep. At that time, the white ball will lose my control and only have a simple sense of self. If you don't get out now, you will become a prisoner inside the white ball."

"Go and become stronger, become the strongest Midori."

He grinned, his voice gentle: "You'll only be useful to me if you become stronger. If you stay as you are now, you'll never be able to stand by my side."

In truth, he never expected anyone to stand by his side, but the faceless woman in front of him was somewhat different from Su Xinghe. She was practically a life he had created with his own hands, and he would more or less hope that Cui Zi would have a better life.

No one knows what crisis will cause all the monsters to disappear in the future, but only a powerful enough force can help Midori survive.

If it stays inside his body and waits for his main consciousness to leave, the field mouse's body will enter a speed-shifting state. The white ball of meat will only have instinct left, and it will be difficult to control a pure soul, let alone an incompatible one. In that case, it will just be pure suffering.

"Yes, Lord Rat God."

After a long silence, Midori spoke in a trembling voice. The nearly complete Shikon Jewel was quickly purified, and all the 'Midori's' inside chose to sacrifice themselves to be reborn.

Her soul continued to grow stronger, and Zhang Chengyi simultaneously modified the value of spiritual power, causing it to surge wildly. In the end, the pervasive spiritual power and powerful soul began to affect the entire underground world. The outer wall of the white ball filled with soul energy trembled continuously. If Zhang Chengyi hadn't obtained control over the white ball through the modifier itself, the mindless soul energy would have instinctively scattered and escaped.

"Hiss~" When even more Shikon Jewels could no longer strengthen Midori's soul, the white ball enveloping her soul automatically tore open, exposing the half-demon's soul to the air in a shattered manner.

An incredibly powerful soul coalesced into a white cocoon over two meters tall and gently landed on the palace floor.

Zhang Chengyi touched the white calluses. He didn't expect that Cui Zi would go to sleep earlier than him, but she would probably wake up even earlier.

After all, he'll be sleeping for at least several hundred years until the Well of Bones finishes vomiting up its garbage before waking up.

The underground world appears flat on the surface, but beneath lies a series of bone-eating wells that spew out garbage, which are quickly deleted by the white ball using its numerical modification capabilities.

I don't know exactly how long it will take, but I'll just get a good night's sleep.

The white dumpling dragged Zhang Chengyi to the warm nest. He yawned, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep. He pulled the speed gear to a very high position, withdrew his main consciousness, and returned to the main body of the modifier.

-----------------

Five hundred years later in the world of Inuyasha, in the underground world, in a palace.

Time seemed to have never existed here; the field mice sleeping in the center of the palace were still fast asleep, and the ground was spotless.

"Click~"

The white cocoon emitted its first sound in five hundred years, and then quickly became covered with cracks.

A terrifying demonic power erupted, and in the instant it was released, the demonic energy tore the palace apart from the edge of the underground world.

With a "whoosh," the grayish-white cocoon shattered on the ground, turning into dust. In the hazy dust, the graceful body slowly stretched out.

"Lord Rat God."

When Cui Zi awoke from her long slumber, she blinked and discovered that she no longer needed to use her soul to observe; instead, she had grown her own face. She immediately looked towards the center and smiled faintly when she saw the field mouse curled up in its sleeping position.

Then she reached out and a mirror appeared in her hand. She looked at it from left to right. This face was a mixture of many features of Sango, Kikyo and Kagome, and even had a bit of Sesshomaru's mother's cheek curve. After all, she was a newly born half-demon with little knowledge, and naturally chose to subconsciously imitate others during the process of growing her physical body.

Otherwise, he would be like Naraku, stealing other people's appearance and identity.

The process of transforming unimaginably vast spiritual power into demonic power was much longer than expected, and growing a physical body from scratch was a waste of time. She actually slept for a full five hundred years.

But the Rat God seems to sleep even more.

and……

Cui Zi looked up at the cracked underground world, gathered her demonic energy, pondered for a while, and then released a barrier to protect the palace.

"Should we go out and take a look next?" Her bright eyes were filled with curiosity and eagerness.

Chapter 211 The Underground World...

Tokyo, Higurashi Shrine.

"Grandpa, Mom, don't wait for me for lunch today!"

The beautiful young girl, Kagome Higurashi, with a piece of bread in her mouth, pushed her bicycle into the house where the Bone-Eater's Well was enshrined.

"Oh, oh, this child..."

Mrs. Higurashi covered her mouth and laughed, while Sota Higurashi looked on with envy. Mr. Higurashi patted his grandson's head to comfort him. The family seemed to be happily sending their daughter on a picnic in the Warring States period.

But only Inuyasha, who was perched on the roof, knew that this was the last time Kagome would come back.

After this incident, the Well of Bones completely lost its ability to connect different time periods. Kagome Higurashi was trapped in the Sengoku period, living in Maple Village, where she became a renowned priestess and never married.

Is that all?

Inuyasha stood up dejectedly. He had stopped what was originally going to happen in the timeline. Would things have been better?

will not.

That's settled then.

His expression was somewhat bleak.

After Zhang Chengyi left, he and Kikyo left Maple Village together and stayed together for decades. They did not have any children, and Kikyo died of old age as a human.

The reason for the lack of children is simple: not only are half-demons unable to be born, but even pure demons are becoming fewer in number.

According to Kikyo's speculation, the mass extinction of yokai in a short period of time caused Japan to lose the 'environment' for yokai to exist. Not only in Japan, but also in other regions, yokai are rapidly decreasing.

Normally, even when monsters die, their demonic power, resentment, and soul fragments would scatter, creating opportunities for other monsters to be born. But for some reason, monsters leave nothing behind after they die, and over time, the number of monsters decreases.

Of course, there were also many human factors involved. The pure and kind little monsters could not resist the malice of humans, and the reckless monsters were besieged by human spiritualists as the number of monsters dwindled. With one side rising and the other falling, in less than two hundred years, the monsters completely became legends.

As a descendant of a great demon, Inuyasha, even as a half-demon, had even higher requirements for having offspring. In the course of the extinction of demons, he and his wife were unable to break through the limitations of the times and have any children.

Sesshomaru, like Jaken, did not have any children. After Rin's death, he left Japan with Jaken and Rin's ashes.

Shippo became an excellent little monster at a young age, traveling around with the kappa, and one day he disappeared without a trace.

Coral and the monk Maitreya got married and had children, and built a village and shrine near Ghost Head Castle to worship the rat.

I heard that it was a god of wealth and fortune, and for a time the shrine was very famous. In addition, many people in Musashi Province had heard of the name of the Golden Rat. The belief in the god of fortune - the Golden Rat - is still widespread in restaurants and hotels in Japan.

Everything from the past seems so vivid, yet we can never go back.

Inuyasha looked up at the azure sky. What had kept him alive until now was simply the desire to see Kagome and his benefactor Zhang Chengyi one more time.

The age of monsters has ended, and humans seem to be doing just as well.

"This is?!"

As Inuyasha was pondering this, he suddenly sensed a terrifying demonic aura rising into the sky, likely near Tokyo. Even he, in his current state, was far inferior to this terrifying aura…

How could such a powerful monster exist in this era?!

He instinctively gripped the Tessaiga, but then realized that there was no evil energy within the demonic aura, and calmed down.

Out of concern, Inuyasha quickly went to the location where the demonic energy was emanating—

Take the Shinkansen.

He's a monster of the new era, having watched the world gradually become what it is today. He's not an old relic; if he just flies around aimlessly, he'll definitely get shot down by humans.

Even if his demonic power has grown for five hundred years, he would still feel great pain if he were hit head-on by a missile.

The demonic aura that had just erupted was near a coastal reef. Inuyasha sniffed the air; the scent of the demonic aura hadn't dissipated yet, indicating it must have been a very powerful demon.

However, whether his demonic power is strong or not is not important. No matter how powerful a demon is, if he doesn't have a suitable move to counter him, he can cut through melons and vegetables with a single slash of the Wind Scar or a single slash of the Explosive Stream. If all else fails, he has long since mastered the Three-Sword Style. He can use the three Tessaigas as automatic pistols for a short time, and leveling a mountain in a few seconds is a piece of cake.

"?!"

Inuyasha kept searching for the source of the scents and surprisingly smelled many familiar scents from underground.

He stood frozen in place for a long time before turning and leaving.

Of course, he didn't leave; he went to find the construction team. He wanted to dig thoroughly and find out what was underground.

half a month later.
