Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

"What are we waiting for? Let's go and chop that agate pill right now!" Inuyasha stood up, but this time few people present objected.

Although I have not witnessed Inu no Taisho's strength with my own eyes, I can get a glimpse of it from the power of Sesshomaru and Tessaiga. If Sesshomaru's strength can really surpass Inu no Taisho's, then the battle will be extremely difficult.

"I wish you a safe journey." Kikyo had no intention of going with them. Firstly, it was necessary for someone to look after Baihen, and now that the Four Soul Jade might move abnormally, Feng's strength was obviously insufficient.

Secondly, Kikyo could feel that her spiritual power was getting weaker and weaker. Ever since she let go of the burden in her heart, her state of mind as a shrine maiden was gone forever. Now she could no longer compare to Kagome in spiritual power.

The combination of Kagome and Inuyasha is enough to solve most problems. If anything unexpected happens, then her staying here will serve as a backup.

Chapter 38 Tree of Ages

"Naraku, this guy, doesn't let people have an easy time even after his death, and the clones he left behind are still so troublesome." Inuyasha complained.

The seal of the Flying Moth has been successfully lifted by Manjumaru, using the Wind Scar that the Mirror Monster absorbed from Inuyasha.

At this moment, Manjuwan has started the ceremony for the Flying Demon Moth Clan to inherit the demon power. A huge Tree of Ages stands in the center of the Forest of No Return, and on top of it is the cocoon of inheritance where the Flying Demon Moth Clan inherits their demon power. Countless souls, including dead souls, are gathering towards that cocoon.

"Kanna, you are not controlled, why are you helping them?" Inuyasha shouted to Kanna in confusion, waving his sword to block the attack of the mirror demon.

Kamiya stood there expressionlessly, without any reaction to Inuyasha's words.

"Kagome, cover me." Facing Kanna who has no demonic power, the Wind Wound cannot be used at all, and even if it is used, it will be absorbed and bounced back by the mirror demon. Inuyasha really has no good way to face the mirror demon alone, fortunately Kagome is there.

"No problem." Kagome aimed at the moment when the mirror monster launched an attack and shot an arrow that hit the mirror monster's arm. Inuyasha took the opportunity to swing Tessaiga and cut off the mirror monster's entire right arm.

Following the same method, the mirror demon was quickly chopped into pieces by Inuyasha, but Kanna still had no reaction and just stood there.

"Inuyasha, don't worry about her, let's hurry to the top to stop Manjushri." Kagome, who noticed that something was wrong with Kanna, stopped Inuyasha from taking action.

"Tsk~" Inuyasha put Tessaiga back into the scabbard, carried Kagome on his back and climbed up.

"Trash is trash, but as an unexpected gift, her appearance does save me a lot of time." Manjumaru in the cocoon observed several battlefields. For him, only Kagome's powerful magic-breaking power required special attention, and no one else could stop him at all.

"It's almost there. I only need one last bit of soul and I'll be able to surpass Toga King and become the strongest monster!" After he completely inherits the power of the Flying Demon Moth, even the Demon-Destroying Arrow will no longer be a threat.

"Kagura, use your life to buy me the last time." As for the two trash Liuli and Glass, one died from the wind cave taken away by the copy, and the other was defeated by the combination of Coral and Mica.

Glass's soul was recycled by him, but it was a pity that Liuli's soul was swallowed by the wind hole, otherwise his progress would have been faster.

The last obstacle between Kagome, Inuyasha and Manjumaru is the lifeless Kagura. As the messenger of wind, Kagura will be even more difficult to deal with in a place like the top of a tree where there are few places to stay, so Inuyasha and Kagome are forcibly restrained by Kagura in this place.

"Inuyasha, I've slept for so long but you still haven't made any progress?" Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Baihen's voice appeared on the battlefield.

"Master Shendu!" Kagome was extremely surprised when she heard Baihen's voice.

"You guy, now that you're awake, come and help. Mangamaru is about to succeed." Seeing Kagome's happy expression, Inuyasha, who was already dissatisfied with Baihen, became even more unhappy.

"Actually, I've been watching the fight for a while, Inuyasha. Your backhand is weak, your forehand is not good, your steps are loose, and your reaction is slow... your reaction is just passable. In short, none of your moves are decent! You want to compete with Seshomaru on the same stage like this? Dream on." Baihen appeared beside Kagura and stretched his hand to Kagura's brow. Kagura tried to resist, but she lost control of both her body and her demonic power.

"Inuyasha, don't be angry, things are more important." Seeing that Inuyasha was about to explode on the spot, Kagome quickly grabbed Inuyasha to prevent him from doing something irrational.

"Thank you again for saving me, Lord Shendu." After Bai Hen shattered the magatama between Kagura's eyebrows, Kagura found that she had regained control of her body and greeted Bai Hen respectfully.

"Kanna is waiting for you downstairs. Come to Maple Village to find me after this is over." Letting go of Kagura casually, Baihen turned to Kagome and said, "Kagome, let Inuyasha take you away from here first. The noise afterwards may be a bit loud. I have already notified Master Miroku and Sango."

Hearing Baihen say that the noise was a bit loud, Kagome immediately recalled the disaster-like scene not long ago, and said carefully: "Well, Master Shendu, I think you can restrain yourself a little and don't go too far."

"Don't worry, it won't happen this time." Bai Hen smiled and comforted Kagome, but Kagome always felt that it was unreliable, but she didn't dare to raise it.

"Then be careful, Master Shendu, we are leaving first." After saying that, he left with the dog with a stubborn face.

After confirming that there were no living things on the tree except the cocoon of the flying demon moth, Bai Hen began to prepare his plan.

Bai Hen's long sleep this time was not just to restore his spirit. The Four Soul Jade also merged with him at a deeper level during this process.

If the previous Four Souls Jade was a useful plug-in for Baihen, then the current Four Souls Jade has become a part of Baihen. Although because the Four Souls Jade has not yet been gathered, this progress has only been partially carried out, but Baihen himself already possesses some of the properties and abilities of the Four Souls Jade.

The restraint of Kagura and the breaking of the control of Baihen by the Agate Pill just now did not rely on the power of the talisman, but instead utilized the ability of the Four Souls Jade to fulfill wishes, ignoring the process and directly achieving the result.

Therefore, Bai Hen had some ideas about the BOSS that would appear in this movie.

Bai Hen was not interested in the agate pill itself, nor did he care about the inherited demonic power of the flying demon moth. Instead, he set his sights on the huge Tree of Time under his feet.

Under the influence of the demonic power of the Flying Demon Moth Clan, this Tree of Time can even absorb heat from all times at the same time. It would be a pity if this power disappeared along with the agate pill.

Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, and protecting precious endangered species is even more important to the white-spotted turtle.

For this purpose, he deliberately used the power of the Four Souls Jade to open up a huge space in his shadow, in order to uproot it and protect it.

The reason he doesn't attack Manjumaru now is for fear of accidentally affecting this precious Tree of Ages. Anyway, he has watched the animation and knows that Manjumaru's complete form is just a second-rate monster with only demonic power but cannot use it. After he captures Manjumaru and finds a way to cut off the connection between the Flying Demon Moth Clan and the Tree of Ages, it will not be too late to send it off.

Manjumaru in the cocoon was not in a hurry. Even if he broke out of the cocoon now, his strength had surpassed that of his father. Although he didn't know why the new guy not only didn't attack him immediately after releasing Kagura's control, but instead let Kagome, who he felt was a threat, leave as well.

But this is exactly what he wants. Manjuwan has great faith in the power passed down from generation to generation by the Flying Demon Moth clan. As long as he successfully breaks out of the cocoon, this small island country will not be able to stop him. He can even return to the mainland with this power to make up for the regrets of his ancestors!

Chapter 39 I conquered the Tree of Time!

Accompanied by a sound similar to that of a shell breaking, and as the huge body of Agate Pill emerged from the cocoon, a rampant laugh appeared in the air.

"Hahaha, I'm invincible now." Agate Pill, who accepted the inheritance perfectly, felt the tremendous power in his body. Even if he didn't use any magic, the magic power he released alone was not something his previous self could resist.

"The first one is you, die, bug." After the demonic power was briefly condensed, the Yin-Yang magatama on the center of Manjuwan's eyebrows was released and shot towards Baihen who had been quietly watching Manjuwan's performance.

"Sure enough, is it the tradition of the older generation to launch a wave when in doubt? Does this mean that I have wronged the Holy Lord? Although the wave launched by the pig's divine power is a bit smaller." Since the other party has already issued an invitation to attack, how could Bai Hen refuse his kindness.

"Jingling eyes." In order to avoid accidentally killing Manjuwan, Baihen tried his best to control the power, so as to avoid performing a craniotomy on Manjuwan after the fight.

Although Agate Maru, who was located on the left side of the confrontation, had the upper hand in the beginning, he was defeated as expected after Bai Hen invested more strength. The Yin-Yang Magatama between his eyebrows was directly and accurately destroyed by Bai Hen.

A great fear arose in Manjuwan's heart. Was there something wrong with the script? He had gone through so much trouble to break the seal and inherit the demonic power. Wasn't it time for him to kill everyone now?

Manjuwan, who didn't believe in evil, flapped his wings, and the army of monsters left over from the previous generation of flying moths came out in droves. Manjuwan himself also blew a bone-corrosive evil wind towards Baihen.

"Don't blink, this will be the last time you see the sun." An orange-red fireball appeared at Bai Hen's fingertips and was gently pushed by Bai Hen towards the oncoming army of monsters.

"Are you ready? Bang——"

The fire of the sun bloomed in the darkness, and the monster army of Manjumaru was annihilated by the flames as soon as they raised a wave, and it even became hotter due to the addition of monster power.

"No——" Agate Maru, who had not yet adapted to the larger size, was unable to dodge and was also affected by the attack. The entire part below the chest turned to nothingness.

"You can't die now, just score the goal obediently." The figures of the black shadow army appeared above the remains of Agate Pill, and then turned into pieces of shadows, covering and engulfing Agate Pill's body. Soon Agate Pill disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Master Inuyasha, if you have offended Lord Shinto before, you should go and apologize as soon as possible." Mingjia felt that the world was changing too fast. The demonic power that Manjumaru showed at the end had undoubtedly surpassed that of Inuyasha. Although the strength of demonic power is not equivalent to physical strength, he was defeated so easily that Mingjia had to think more about the second young master's life.

Inuyasha remained silent. Even he felt powerless in the face of such a huge gap.

"That's right, Inuyasha, if you're not nicer to me in the future I'll go complain to Master Shendu." Shippo was already used to Master Shendu being a god from heaven, and at the moment he was still in the mood to tease Inuyasha.

But things are not over yet. The curtain made of shadows covers and engulfs the entire Tree of Time from top to bottom.

After making Manjumaru lose consciousness and using the power of the Four Souls Jade to maintain his minimum life, Baihen placed him on the Tree of Ages as an energy source and fertilizer. After confirming that the Tree of Ages could survive normally in his shadow space, this operation finally came to an end.

"I got the Tree of Ages!" Although I don't know how to use it now, the joy of catching a rare Pokémon is always unforgettable.

Of course, there is also Palmanagate Maru as a bonus, so there is no need to talk about him in the future. When he runs out of demonic power or Baihen finds time to find a better way to cultivate the Tree of Ages, that will be the day when he will be optimized.

"The work is done successfully. I'll go back and wait for you." Because he rushed here after waking up, Bai Hen only had a superficial understanding of his current strength. There were still many things to study, so he didn't plan to stay here for long.

"Master Shendu has just woken up and rushed to help. He should indeed go back and have a good rest. I used the Wind Hole a little too much today, so I need to rest for a while." Maitreya nodded in agreement. Witnessing Liuli being swallowed by the Wind Hole had a great psychological impact on him. If he could not defeat Naraku, that would be his final end.

"Amber's health has been much better recently, and I was planning to help him regain his memory. It's time to take a break." Although Mica was not taken away like in the original plot, Coral, who had been taking care of Amber during this period, also felt tired after experiencing this battle.

"I have an exam soon too, so it's time to prepare for my lessons." Poor Kagome, she's already entered the exam mode of college even though she's still in middle school.

"I..." Inuyasha suddenly found that he seemed to have nothing to say. He was not even injured this time. Compared with the previous situations when he was often stabbed in the chest and stomach, his current condition was terribly good. It would not be a problem for him to fight again.

"Let's go, Inuyasha, carry me back." Kagome jumped towards Inuyasha from behind.

"Idiot, don't jump up so suddenly." Inuyasha subconsciously caught Kagome and turned his head away with a blushing face.

"Really, Inuyasha, can't you be more frank? Only Kagome can tolerate you." Shippo sighed.

bang——

"Stop talking too much." Inuyasha said hatefully after retracting the fist that was about to hit Shippo on the head.

"set off!"

"Kiyana, I'm back." Pushing open the door, Bai Hen said to Kiyana who was roasting sweet potatoes.

"It took a lot longer than what you said before you went." Kikyo can now be said to be the person who knows Bai Hen best except Bai Hen himself, and she is not worried at all that anything would happen to Bai Hen.

"Because I found on the way that I can do more than I thought, so I just wait a little longer for him to evolve, and take a look at how Inuyasha and the others are doing." Baihen took out a bunch of marinated chicken wings from Shadow and grilled them together.

"How is it? Is the Four Soul Jade still affecting you?" Although Kikyo was one of the people who knew the Four Soul Jade best, she had been monitoring Bai Hen's body in real time during the days when Bai Hen was unconscious.

However, what happened to Bai Hen was beyond Kikyo's understanding. Originally, Kikyo just thought that the mysterious black energy should be able to help Bai Hen solve the trouble of evil energy, but she didn't expect that while Qu Ling was at a disadvantage in the struggle within the Four Souls Jade, the existence of the Four Souls Jade itself was in jeopardy.

Although this can be considered a way to completely destroy the Shikon Jade, Kikyo, who has suffered greatly from it, does not dare to take the power of the Shikon Jade lightly.

“I’ve never felt so good.”

Chapter 40 The So-called God

God is an extremely broad concept, and its specific meaning depends on different cultural and religious backgrounds.

In the world of "Inuyasha", gods are objects of awe and faith for the Shinto belief. Shinto is based on nature worship and is a pantheistic polytheistic belief that regards various animals, plants, spirits, and the souls of heroes after their death as gods.

To be more specific, God is a collective consciousness energy body composed of the good wishes of life. When different lives have the same wish, it can be called faith. As this faith continues to deepen, the consciousness born out of faith will become stronger and stronger, until one day it is strong enough to structure the energy, generate specific images and interfere with the world, then it becomes Him.

Gods appear because of the vision of life - of course, the life here mostly refers to humans, which also leads to their uneven strength. Weak gods may even be killed by ordinary humans, while powerful gods can easily subdue big monsters.

It is precisely because gods are born because of people's wishes that they will also disappear because of people's forgetfulness.

And under normal circumstances, they are bound by their own beliefs and find it difficult to break away from their duties. Once a god falls due to dereliction of duty, he is basically no different from a monster.

And within the scope of their duties, they can easily do things that can be called miracles.

Such as calling the wind and rain, modifying the earth's veins and waterways, blessing safe voyages, ensuring a good harvest, ensuring hunting results, ensuring the disease goes away as soon as possible, ensuring safe childbirth, and so on.

The Four Souls Jade, as the name suggests, is a crystal composed of four souls, namely the Wild Soul, the Harmonious Soul, the Lucky Soul and the Strange Soul.

The wild soul is responsible for courage, the harmonious soul is responsible for intimacy, the lucky soul is responsible for love, and the strange soul is responsible for wisdom. In simple terms, courage is the power that makes people strive forward, intimacy is the power that makes people friendly and sociable. Love is the power that makes people grow, and wisdom is the ability to observe and analyze things.

The Four Souls Jade can be said to be the crystallization of soul and desire, and can be regarded as another form of god. For this reason, the Four Souls Jade possesses the power to fulfill wishes.

However, the Four Souls Jade is not a god after all. Although it has its own will, its will will change with the state of mind of the holder (although it is almost always a change of spirit). Although it has the ability to fulfill wishes, it cannot use this ability independently and can only achieve its goals by tempting and guiding others.

But at the same time, the Four Souls Jade does not have any responsibilities to fulfill, so its ability to fulfill wishes is not limited to a certain area.

It can simply and directly provide strength to the holder and enhance the demonic power; it can call back the deceased souls from the underworld and give them the ability to survive in the human world; it can also give entities to the demons in the paintings and make them appear in the world; Kagome and Inuyasha can travel through time and space through the Bone-Eating Well. In addition to the power of the Tree of Ages, the most important reason is the existence of the Four Souls Jade (forget about Yashahime's inexplicable time travel, I just pretend there is no Yashahime). It can also easily make things like a good harvest and the safety of mother and child, but few people make such wishes to it.

This is the power of the Four Souls Jade, and it is also the essence of the power of God - limited rewriting of reality.

And now, Bai Hen, who has begun to integrate the Four Soul Jade into his body, has naturally successfully possessed this divine authority, and without the various restrictions of the Four Soul Jade, he can be said to be a free god.

However, because the Four Souls Jade is still in its incomplete stage, and it itself is not cooperative enough, Bai Hen can only do some relatively simple things to interfere with the outside world, such as stopping Kagura's movements and breaking the demonic power that controls Kagura.

But in terms of internal affairs, Bai Hen finally experienced the feeling of having green lights and smooth sailing all the way.

Previously, the Four Soul Jade had given Bai Hen a brief green light in order to recover as soon as possible, but it was very limited. After discovering that Bai Hen had ill intentions towards it and was really able to do it, it not only turned off the green light, but also set up roadblocks.

At this time, there was no middleman to make a profit from the price difference. Bai Hen used this omnipotent power to successfully solve the problem of the imbalance and runaway power of the talisman, and further amplified the power of the divine power.

The setting that the black energy from the Holy Lord became stronger as it absorbed evil energy and its appearance changed more deeply was also cancelled by Bai Hen. To be more precise, the mark of the Holy Lord on it was erased by Bai Hen. From now on, no matter how powerful the black energy became, it would not affect Bai Hen's appearance. Of course, Bai Hen was very satisfied with the red pupil and the miniature dragon horn, so he simply kept them. Anyway, he had the monkey's divine power and could hide them at any time.

As for the divine power of the talisman, ever since it was manifested by Lope in the form of a talisman, the mark of the Holy Lord had long been gone from it and it was purely a plug-in.

The Black Shadow Corps, which had been squeezed in Baihen's shadow since coming to this world, now has a new home. With the help of the Black Shadow Corps, it did not take Baihen too much time to open up a small shadow kingdom inside his own shadow, so Baihen came up with the idea of uprooting the Tree of Time.

And this is just the beginning. The true power of the Four Souls Jade will only be revealed after it is complete. By then, Bai Hen, who has integrated the complete Four Souls Jade, can be called a living god, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a human-shaped wish-making machine.

However, the power of the Four Souls Jade is not omnipotent, and the wishes it can fulfill are only those that it "can" do.

In the original work, Naraku was troubled by the human heart of Spider Demon and tried many times to abandon it, but found that it was impossible to do so. The power of the Four Souls Jade was also helpless against it.

Just as there may be countless possibilities in countless worlds, but as long as Bruce Wayne becomes Batman, he will definitely lose his parents, and Peter Parker who becomes Spider-Man will never see his original uncle again, these experiences are the origin of their being superheroes and an irresistible destiny.

The origin of Naraku is Spider Demon. Spider Demon's heart is the reason for his birth and the foundation of his existence as Naraku. The demon part can be replaced and removed at will for Naraku, but Spider Demon as the human part is the foundation of Naraku as a half-demon, and it is also a fact that he cannot change.

If you want to change this situation from the root, it requires more than just a wish, but also the existence of a "miracle".

Kikyo's death is a fact, and even her soul has been reincarnated as Kagome, so it is almost impossible to resurrect her.

And Bai Hen wanted to pursue such a "miracle".
