Nohara Anzi was busy in the kitchen, sitting on a small stool. When she heard the door open, she turned around hastily. After seeing the face she wanted to see, she gave Uesugi Kiyoshi a sweet smile and said softly, "Welcome back, Uesugi-kun - dinner will be ready soon, please wait a moment."

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Nohara Kyoko with some doubt, then looked at the wall clock and asked in doubt: "Kyoko, are you leaving school so early today?"

He had no plans to go to school recently, and took the opportunity of his injury to recuperate at home. Although he was still a little obsessed with his diploma, his memory enhanced by the mirage made him not afraid of any exams.

Nohara Anko is different. This little girl is determined to go to school.

What Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't know was that in Nohara Anko's heart, only if she became better could she be worthy of the outstanding Uesugi-kun - a diploma from a prestigious school was also indispensable.

This was not an excessive request, so after thinking about it for a while, Uesugi Kiyoshi made a decision. He asked Akutagawa Ryunosuke to find someone to transfer Nohara Anko to the girls' school where Kamiizumi Rin was, and asked Rin to help look after her.

After all, Nohara Anko has a demonic spirit in her body, and who knows if it will attract some strange things.

With A-Lin looking after us, nothing should happen.

Rin Kamiizumi agreed readily. In her eyes, the current Nohara Anko is a walking food-making machine. Over the past few days, her taste for food has been spoiled by Nohara Anko. She keeps complaining that she has a disease that "will kill her if she doesn't eat food cooked by Apricot". She cares more about Nohara Anko's safety than anyone else.

Naturally, eating for free became her reason to stay here.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't feel that there was anything wrong. This apartment was very big. It was not his previous small dwelling. There were plenty of rooms, and there wouldn't be any awkward scenes of living together. And Alin had helped him block many ghosts and gods, and even chopped Ibaraki Douji's body alive. So it was only right to feed her some delicious food.

"Ah, the school is closed because it rained so hard. You don't have to go to school next week. You have to wait for notification when classes will resume."

Rin Kamiizumi, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV and looking eagerly at the kitchen, answered the question first.

"Has it affected the normal classes?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder the government is unable to sit still. Schools have been forced to suspend classes due to heavy rains. Next, factories and businesses will have to close down. If this continues, Tokyo will not be able to hold on for long.

Moreover, if the water level of the Arakawa really rises and a flood occurs, it will be a rare disaster for the entire Kanto Plain.

His face looked a little heavier, and Uesugi Kiyoshi sat down on the sofa as usual.

Rin Kamiizumi held up a plate of snacks and presented it to Uesugi Kiyoshi like a treasure.

"Qing, try this, it tastes very good~"

"It was given by my white-haired grandfather."

The figure of Ueno Mitsuishi suddenly appeared in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes.

"Was it sent by Ueno-senpai?" He picked one up and put it in his mouth. It tasted really good.

Nohara Kyoko, who was already placing dishes on the dining table, took over the conversation quietly and affirmed, "Yes, Uesugi-kun, Uesugi-san is a very nice person. He often gives us gifts. He also helped us buy the daily necessities we lacked, and he also helped us transfer to another school."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded thoughtfully, but did not pursue the topic any further.

After dinner, he sat cross-legged in front of the French window, his mind gradually sinking into his dreams.

Returning to the familiar mirage, he stood in front of his own statue and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the use of this "Stairway to God".

"I can clearly feel the unusual power inside."

“But why can’t it be used?”

He muttered to himself, staring blankly at the Hundred Demons Scroll, then looked at his own statue with a distressed expression.

"What? You don't know how to use this thing?"

"He didn't leave you an instruction manual?"

A slightly sarcastic male voice echoed in the mirage. Uesugi Kiyoshi had become somewhat accustomed to this elusive interruption in the past few days.

He didn't even turn his head. The red-haired ghost king stepped out of the painting by himself, walked a few steps to Uesugi Kiyoshi, stood side by side with him, looking at the statue of Uesugi Kiyoshi with a deep smile.

Uesugi Kiyoshi shrugged and sighed, "I'm not in the mood to argue with you. If you know something, just say it quickly. If you don't want to say it, just stay back."

"You know, although I can't completely destroy you, I can still seal you in the painting."

Shuten-doji frowned, feeling somewhat helpless. He had never experienced the feeling of living under someone else's roof.

However, for some reasons, he can only maintain the status quo.

"This statue is to be used in conjunction with the Hundred Demons Picture Scroll."

"Hey, Uesugi, let's make a deal."

"I've been here for a few days, and my whole body is rusty. I'll tell you how to use this. If you encounter an enemy, you might as well let me go out and give them some fresh air."

"Call my true body, lead my spirit - can you do it?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi could do it, but it was a very dangerous thing.

After devouring Shuten-doji's soul, Uesugi Kiyoshi can briefly summon Shuten-doji to descend upon himself and use some of his power.

But he had never tried this ability.

Too dangerous

That was the Ghost King who had once been his enemy. If he acted rashly, who knew if something would go wrong.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly.

"I can't let you possess my body, but I have another way."

"I can allow you to appear in the real world and fight."

"If you believe me, the deal is done. If you don't, there's no point in talking."

Shuten-doji nodded indifferently.

"You don't look like a liar."

"Listen carefully, this is the step to becoming a god."

"A so-called god must have the support of believers. A god without believers is incomplete."

“This statue is like a beacon.”

"In the ocean of dreams, it is a beacon that guides believers' thoughts to you."

"But, this statue of yours should have other uses."

"Logically speaking, you have inherited the Hundred Demons Scroll, and you have also inherited the Hundred Demons Night Parade behind that person."

"Then, the ghosts and gods in this painting should all be your believers."

"Calm your mind and use the statue as a medium to contact the demon spirit."

"You will understand"

"Why is this called the Stairway to Godhood?"

Chapter 160 Star Sea

Looking at the red-haired ghost king who was speaking with great confidence, Uesugi Kiyoshi stroked his chin, as if thinking about something.

He is thinking.

According to Shuten-doji, this statue is a tool used by "God" to gather faith, and it is also the biggest difference between "God" and ordinary ghosts and gods.

Uesugi Kiyoshi does have some interest in "gods" now - taking Tosho-jin as an example, he is much stronger than ordinary ghosts and gods.

And hearing Shuten-doji know so much about everything, I'm afraid that in a sense, he is also a "god".

The endless clan of ghosts in Dajiang Mountain is the source of his faith.

Could this be the secret of how he could stay lonely in the dream mirror for hundreds or thousands of years and still maintain his immortal soul?

He frowned and shook his head, "But I don't have any believers."

Shuten-doji glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi with an expression that said this child is incorrigible.

"No, you do."

"What do you think the so-called [faith] is?"

"Love, worship, gratitude, trust, family affection and so on, the emotional fluctuations between humans. No, between living things, the "bonds" you mentioned, are the source of faith."

"The demons and gods that can be called gods have mastered the method of transforming this emotion into power."

"What you humans call the awakening of extraordinary power has a necessary condition, which is violent emotional fluctuations. Because under such emotions, human mental power will break through a certain barrier, break through the mundane, and become extraordinary."

"The biggest difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people is faith and awareness, which is the basic condition for controlling extraordinary power."

"You are a swordsman, you should understand that the so-called Mingjianxin is also a way to strengthen your faith and break through the extraordinary, right?"

Shuten-doji took a few steps back and sat down cross-legged without any ceremony. He took out a wine bowl from somewhere and filled the ghost gourd behind him with orange-red wine as if it were an inexhaustible supply.

"The more powerful the soul, the greater and more useful the [Faith] it provides."

"If it weren't for the support of the ghosts of Mount Daie, I wouldn't be considered a ghost king."

"Uesugi, you have quite a few souls of extraordinary beings in your body."

After drinking the whole cup of wine in one gulp, Shuten-doji exhaled the alcohol with great satisfaction and raised his eyes with a hint of drunkenness in them.

"Go, imagine yourself becoming one with this statue, feel those mixed but inseparable thoughts, accept them, distinguish them, and then condense them into your strength!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little skeptical, but he actually didn't think Shuten-doji was lying to him.

The ghost king of Mount Oeyama's soul is now imprisoned in the Hundred Ghosts Scroll. With just a thought, I can put him in solitary confinement in the mural. He poses no threat to me.

And this statue should not be harmful to him, as the Hundred Demons Scroll has never done anything against him.

Uesugi Kiyoshi planned to give it a try and stop there, as it was no use staying stuck in this stalemate.

He glanced at Shuten-doji without avoiding him and slowly closed his eyes.

Following the method told by the Ghost King, Uesugi Kiyoshi slowly connected his "thoughts" with the statue.

He was imagining himself, imagining himself on that high platform, eternal and lasting, enjoying the worship of mortals and the incense of devout men and women.

At the moment when their souls were in harmony, Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes went dark.

He seemed to be sinking, and a feeling of weightlessness came over him, making him feel a little depressed and nauseous.

An invisible feeling of oppression came from all directions, like water pressure, but also not.

I don’t know how long it took.

Maybe one second, maybe an infinite amount of time.

The inexplicable pressure around me was completely relieved.
