I am Jinshan Youxia

When the monsters realized that the world was about to be destroyed, instead of uniting to find a solution, they killed and ate indiscriminately, causing many conflicts with human society. This forced them to pick up their exorcism mission again.

"Hey~"

Maitreya sighed. With everything else hopeless, it seemed that the only thing left to do was to hope for the Rat God, who had been asleep for five hundred years.

Chapter 381 Awakening

The underground palace of the Rat God.

"Let me go, you priestess!"

"I'm willing to cooperate; I know how to save the world!"

"I can help you catch more..."

Kikyo looked at the monsters who were swallowed up by the white dumplings again under the influence of the barrier, without any sympathy on her face.

Any one of these monsters would be a menace if they rushed out.

If they didn't all have some kind of immortality, they wouldn't have needed to be thrown into the underground world; they would have been dealt with up there.

When Suiko awoke and broke through the underground palace, all the demons inside had already been resurrected. Some were released by Inuyasha, while others secretly tore the white dumpling apart and escaped. The white dumpling's resilience alone was not enough to withstand the slightly stronger demons.

After discovering this, Midori released a barrier covering the entire planet, captured most of the creatures, and then hurriedly went to the void in the world to fill herself in, buying enough time for the world and the life within it.

The last words left behind were: "Waiting for Lord Rat God to awaken."

Kikyo's feelings towards the Rat God are somewhat complicated. He arbitrarily interferes with life and death, destroys the underworld, and collects a large number of monsters, causing some of these scourges to live into the modern world and cause casualties among humans. The Shikon Jewel shards, which were carelessly discarded in the palace, were stolen by some powerful monsters skilled in spatial abilities, further worsening the situation in human society.

However, the goddess Midori, created by the Rat God, helped clean up the mess. The 'miracle' born from the Shikon Jewel, coupled with seemingly endless spiritual power, instantly resolved the biggest troubles.

In theory, over 99% of the escaped monsters have been captured, leaving only a few monsters with bizarre abilities but no significant harm who can roam freely.

The problem is, the world is collapsing.

Kikyo stopped and stood at the palace gate, gazing at the field mouse lying quietly in the center of the palace, her feelings somewhat complicated.

If left unchecked, the world will be silently and completely destroyed one day.

Midori's intervention plan was to replace a part of the world with herself and use a 'miracle' to satisfy the underlying rules of how the world should have been operating. However, as a monster and a god, her influence on the world had deepened to the same extent as that of the ancient god who scattered his four souls.

In addition to the influence of other voids, more monsters were born. These new monsters did not distinguish between good and evil like the original monsters. Whether they ate people or not was entirely up to their liking. The four souls of the new generation of monsters were extremely twisted. From the moment they were born, they were true demons.

This is all thanks to the distorted minds of people in the new era.

Five hundred years ago, battlefields gave birth to many evil monsters. What about world wars? What about the rapidly increasing number of heinous crimes due to population explosion, social development, and convenient transportation? What about the dark side of society, characterized by rampant materialism and filth?

Modern society is far more efficient at killing and harming people than it has been in countless years.

There will naturally be more monsters, with evil monsters making up the vast majority. However, due to the defilement of their hearts, very few humans possess spiritual power. Firearms are powerful enough, but the new generation of monsters who can disguise themselves as humans, are more intelligent, have human forms, or are even humans transformed, do not need to engage in direct combat.

Quietly, in a dark alley, eating a few filthy and corrupt homeless people can instantly make them much stronger. A group of evil monsters can combine with hundreds or thousands of even more evil humans and become half-demons comparable to great monsters in the blink of an eye.

They often possess a strong degree of immortality, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

They disrupt order, eat people, and construct the dark side of society belonging to monsters.

Even with Naraku's resurrection, one has to admit that the new generation of half-demons are playing even more elaborate tricks.

Five hundred years ago, some great monsters wouldn't even rank in today's world. For example, the Dragon Bone Demon escaped and went to a small island in the Pacific Ocean to become a dragon god. He was directly blown to smithereens by firearms in the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, the cannibalistic monsters that were nominally in the United States were able to toy with the entire country.

Being more evil, more intelligent, and more knowledgeable about modern society is enough for the new generation of monsters to become something that cannot be easily attached to them.

Times are different.

Seeing that the Rat God remained motionless, Kikyo sighed silently, turned to look at the old-time monsters who had been captured, and took out her bow and arrow.

"Whoosh!" The demon-slaying arrow swept across the sky, melting away the white lumps that were binding some relatively harmless monsters.

Her cool voice echoed in the underground palace: "Let's talk."

It would be impossible for just a few people to deal with the increasingly overwhelming new generation of monsters in human nations. So what's the point of even thinking about it?

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

Two years and seven months passed in the blink of an eye, in the center of the underground palace.

"call!"

Zhang Chengyi suddenly opened his eyes, blinked his small, field mouse-like eyes, took back control of the body, and scrambled up from the tiny bed, rubbing his eyes and looking around.

"No, is this still my secret underground world?" He was stunned.

The underground palace was in a terrible mess. The shelves that held the Shikon Jewel fragments were overturned, and a large hole appeared in the top of the palace. The white lumps that should have been neatly arranged around were scattered everywhere, and even the white lumps barrier of the underground world had unhealable gaps.

Some of the power above was left over from demons, while a few were familiar spiritual energies: those of Miroku, Yumeshin, Kagome, and Kikyo. The largest cavity even had Midori's spiritual energy clinging to it.

White lumps, each containing a strange monster, spread throughout the underground world like abscesses and tumors. They were ugly, their aura more evil than Naraku's, and many of their abilities overlapped, making them look like clumps of dissertations.

"This is fucking..."

Zhang Chengyi felt a bit confused; how did his underground world end up in such a state of disrepair when he woke up?

And who exactly threw these ugly and ridiculously repetitive monsters in here?

Where did Cui Zi run off to again? Can't he just get some sleep? Why is it that every time he wakes up in a new world, there's some kind of trouble waiting for him?

At this thought, his expression finally broke down and became contorted.

He quickly deleted the ugly, evil monsters that had read his information, and the ravaged underground world was finally somewhat viewable. He also took the opportunity to sort out how much of his monster collection he had lost.

You wouldn't believe it until you counted; tens of thousands of monsters have disappeared, especially all the fairy-type monsters.

There are no cute little creatures left, such as European elves, Chinese flower fairies, and Japanese kappa.

Zhang Chengyi copied the cutest fairies and spirits, placing them at the front of the list so he could admire them when he woke up. Now, all of them are gone.

It took him a long time and a lot of hard work to collect all the treasures.

*Snap*, it's gone.

I'm tired. Why hasn't the world ended yet?

Zhang Chengyi uttered a vicious curse, and suddenly, a hideous humanoid monster emitting a foul stench was thrown in through the hole.

Upon closer inspection, he could see a metal pipe connected to the hole leading to the underground world.

"You fucking use my body as a dumping ground, huh?!"

Chapter 382 I will definitely not let you off the hook!

"We've arrived in modern times, Tokyo."

"I hope Inuyasha and the others are still alive..."

After Zhang Chengyi sent his white dumplings back to the ground to collect information, he quickly discovered the specific time.

It's a bit longer than the five hundred years he imagined. The timeline is around 2007. The technology is more advanced than on Earth when he was a human in his previous life. This might be because there were monsters in history, so the speed of technological progress is faster.

I don't know, I don't understand.

But there are far too many monsters in this modern society.

Take the US as an example; more than half of its officials exude a demonic aura—a filthy and extremely foul aura. Japan isn't much better; the prime minister giving a speech emanates a strong aura of sorcery, suggesting that his time as prime minister was probably not pleasant.

Furthermore, even ordinary people carry a demonic aura, not strong, but somewhat similar to many of the half-demons encountered before.

The humans in this world are transforming into monsters.

How did the world become like this?

Zhang Chengyi became serious. Even if he was not sensitive to the outside world, he could tell that a large number of anomalies were often not good omens. Humans turning into monsters was really not a good thing.

The demons in the world of Inuyasha are idealistic beings shaped by the two sides of the Shikon Jewel. Depending on the direction of the Shikon Jewel, they exhibit extreme behaviors, being utterly evil or utterly kind. On the contrary, humans are as complex and chaotic as humans in most other worlds. Pure good and evil cannot be used to summarize or describe any human being.

The transformation of all humanity into monsters is certainly not a good thing. Some people may harbor evil thoughts, and even if they do not act on them, the Shikon Jewel may become a spirit, thus being driven by their souls to do evil deeds.

It's not human fault; it's normal to have some evil thoughts. People are tempted by self-interest, and the right thing to do is to suppress those evil thoughts.

If one becomes a monster, having evil thoughts will lead to the urge to act on them. Acting on them will make the four souls more turbid and corrupt, eventually turning one into an evil spirit.

A being capable of attacking all of humanity on the planet is a formidable foe; his current worldly, rat-like body might not be able to handle him.

Could it be that he gained some extraordinary ability through the incomplete Shikon Jewel in his palace, and thus used miracles to interfere with the human race?

Or perhaps the world has undergone a change similar to the disappearance of monsters, leading to the extinction of humanity?

A flood of speculations welled up in my mind.

"Where is Chui-ko?" Zhang Chengyi seriously considered his Pokémon. Based on his previous speculation, Chui-ko's power should have been quite strong after she woke up. Now there was no trace of her. He couldn't find her anywhere in the world. She was either in another dimension or she was already dead.

His mood gradually worsened. To be honest, he had absolutely no interest in ruling the world. He was content as long as he could have fun. Unlike the lunatics in the Sea Tiger World, he never thought about making the world operate according to his will. All he wanted was to be able to do whatever he wanted without restraint.

He expected the situation to worsen after waking up, which was a kind of peculiar amusement. However, the loss of the precious Pokémon he had created was a huge problem.

"No matter who did this, I will never forgive them!"

He thought fiercely, quickly pinpointing the locations of Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Kagome.

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

Osaka Airport.

"What are you doing..."

Inuyasha's ears twitched under his baseball cap, causing the cap to bounce up and down.

He suddenly had a strange yet familiar feeling, as if he were being watched by something.

"Sigh~" He inhaled deeply through his nose, and a strong smell of human bodies and another strange smell wafted up from underground.

"This is--"

"Hey, Er Gouzi, you're still alive?"

The white ball of fur that crawled in from outside stuck to Inuyasha's leg and quickly climbed up to his shoulder, making a sound that was all too familiar to him.

"You're awake!"

Inuyasha was startled at first, and released his demonic energy, extending his fingernails to try to destroy the white ball. Then, his long-forgotten memories resurfaced, and he stopped in time, lowering his voice.

Not far away, a middle-aged man carrying a shoulder bag sensed the demonic aura. He suddenly pushed aside the person in front of him and ran wildly towards the outside. He was extremely fast and reached the door in the blink of an eye. He jumped over the railing, kicked the staff member who came to stop him, and rushed out of the airport.

Inuyasha didn't have time to think. He pulled down his hat and ran outside. Kagome's angry voice came through the earpiece tucked in his long hair:
