This was not only for his own dream, but also for the Hieda family and the entire Hito-no-sato. Although he would be able to obtain relevant information in a few days, in the face of such a drastic change, every day that passed could change the future of the Hieda family and Hito-no-sato.

As the head of the prestigious Hieda family, a land of monsters and struggling survival in Gensokyo, Hieda Akuma naturally knows how humans can survive. That's information and intelligence.

The reason why the original Goarinoko chose to edit the book "Gensokyo Origin" was certainly due to her own interest, but also because she wanted to compile a book for the humans of Gensokyo to deal with various monsters.

For this reason, the original daughter of Oari chose to sign a contract with Enma, exchanging hundreds of years of work in the underworld for thirty years in Gensokyo. She did this not for the so-called immortality, but because it was a very dangerous thing to try to find out the information of various monsters.

Especially those big monsters, they are no different from natural disasters to humans. Although these big monsters will not specifically target humans, if they are in a bad mood and kill some humans casually, no one will bother them.

For this reason, Hieda Aki chose to reincarnate generation after generation, constantly editing and revising the book "Gensokyo Origin" to prevent anyone from carelessly colliding with those powerful monsters.

Now that Li Xuan has arrived, Gensokyo will undergo earth-shaking changes. Hieda Aqiu really wants to know from the honorable Majesty Li Xuan what Gensokyo will be like in the future, so that the human village can prepare in advance.

"Your Majesty, may I ask what Gensokyo will look like in the future?"

"What will Gensokyo look like in the future? Honestly, you've asked me this question."

"I actually don't know what Gensokyo will look like in the future. After all, I'm only here to help Yakumo Yukari at her invitation. The initiative isn't mine."

"I can only tell you that her purpose in inviting me here is to make Gensokyo completely independent and a complete world, with its own three realms of heaven, earth, and man, and able to operate normally."

"As for where Yakumo Yukari wants to lead the future of Gensokyo, that's her business. As a guest, it's not my place to take over, is it?"

Because he had worked in the underworld for nearly a thousand years, Hieda Aqiu's horizons had been greatly broadened, so he could understand what Li Xuan's words meant.

She was extremely shocked but also a little helpless. The answer given by Li Xuan was too grand and had little to do with the Human Village. This information alone was not enough for her to judge where the Human Village would go in the future. She had to have more accurate information.

Suddenly, Hieda Aqiu thought of a very fatal problem for her and the Hieda family.

"Will the creatures of Gensokyo still reincarnate in the underworld in the future?"

If she had heard correctly, and the future Gensokyo was a world of its own, where would she be reincarnated after her death? Could the contract she had signed with Yama still be maintained?

"Of course I'm still reincarnated in the underworld, but it's my own underworld in Gensokyo."

Hieda Aqiu's pupils suddenly contracted. After thinking for a moment, he slowly exhaled.

"This is my last life. Nine is indeed an extreme number that is difficult for ordinary people to surpass."

Hieda Aqiu has always been very clear that her special situation is difficult to maintain forever, and one day it will come to an end.

However, what Hieda Aqiu did not expect was that the end of her reincarnation journey would be such an extraordinary event.

"So what will you choose? Will you stay in Gensokyo and continue recording its history, or will you die and return to the underworld?"

Li Xuan saw clearly that Hieda Aqiu had been reincarnated for a thousand years. Although he was only in a mortal body now, his soul had already become extraordinary.

As long as he can get rid of his fragile body, or find the right power to bring out Hieda Aqiu's powerful soul, he will definitely not be inferior to the average big monster.

Therefore, Li Xuan was very curious about what choice Hieda Aqiu would make. If she continued to stay in Gensokyo, without the agreement with Enma, she would not be able to continue to reincarnate with her memories as before, and could only choose to become a ghost or die.

If she died now and went to the underworld, with her nearly a thousand years of experience working in the underworld, she would definitely be able to get a good job. So Li Xuan really wanted to know Hieda Aqiu's choice.

"I choose to remain in Gensokyo."

Without much hesitation, after just a moment's thought, Hieda Aqiu had already made her choice. If she wanted to stay in the underworld as an official, she could have done so long ago. Why bother with endless reincarnation?

For her, neither her own beliefs nor the responsibilities she shoulders allow her to choose to retreat at this moment.

"Very good. If that's the case, then I have news for you. Regarding the future of Gensokyo, Yakumo Yukari did not make a unilateral decision. Instead, she chose to invite all forces in Gensokyo to the Hakurei Shrine tonight to discuss it together. You can also choose to go."

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

Hieda Aqiu bowed with sincerity and respect. Although Li Xuan had only given him a piece of information, it was an opportunity for Hieda Aqiu and for Renzhili, a chance to participate in a banquet that would determine the future of Gensokyo.

If Li Xuan hadn't spoken up, even if Hieda Aqiu knew about this, he wouldn't have been able to participate. But after Li Xuan spoke up, it meant Hieda Aqiu and Hitonosato had a chance to take the table, even if they could only listen. Their future would be completely different.

Chapter 637: The Bad Hakurei Reimu

"You're welcome. This is the reward you deserve."

Although Li Xuan is a human supremacist, human beings are completely different from each other, and the help Li Xuan provides is also different.

Unfortunately, although the Japanese have no prejudice against them in Li Xuan's eyes, they don't have much status either. They are probably ranked below the people from other worlds, so he won't take the initiative to help them.

Li Xuan would at most give him one chance, depending on his performance, and Hieda Aqiu had obviously passed Li Xuan's test and was qualified for his help.

"That's it! Remember, tonight, Hakurei Shrine."

Li Xuan had originally planned to wander around, as there was still some time before the party started. However, he hadn't expected that Yakumo Yukari would actually call Erina Chikiri over to host a party for her. Naturally, Li Xuan had to go see her, as they hadn't seen each other for two months.

Looking at Li Xuan's departing back, Hieda Aqiu's eyes were full of gratitude. She must make good use of this precious opportunity given by Li Xuan.

If she went alone, she would be too weak and would probably only be able to attend the banquet as an observer. She would need some help.

There are strong people in the human village. All relationships must be utilized. The future of the human village depends on this battle.

As a prominent family in the village, the Hieda family has great status and power in the village.

When Master Sheng Bailian built Minglian Temple, he received funding from the Hieda family. In the years that followed, the Hieda family also continued to offer him offerings.

As long as she goes up to ask for a meeting, Master Saint Bailian will not refuse.

And there is also her good friend and colleague, Kamishizawa Keiin, who also has the support of the Hieda family behind the private school she opened.

Then there is the Kirisame Prop Shop. I heard that one of their children became a magician.

Don't think that Hieda Aqiu only found these three people. But in fact, there are more than just themselves behind each of them.

There is not only the Holy White Lotus in Minglian Temple, but also the God Son Feng Conger under the Minglian Temple, representing Buddhism.

Kamishizawa Keion has a good friend Fujiwara no Mokou, and since Fujiwara no Mokou has joined, Eien-tei can also have some influence on her.

As for Marisa Kirisame, she has an even wider circle of friends and a lot of them.

Besides this, Moriya Shrine should also be biased towards humans.

Hieda Aqiu thought about the cards in his hand, which should be enough to win a certain status for mankind.

Of course, the one who gave Hieda Aqiu the greatest confidence was Li Xuan. Although he only gave one piece of information, it itself was an attitude.

This attitude is extremely valuable. After all, although she doesn't know what Taichi really means, since he can upgrade a small Gensokyo into a big world, then His Majesty Taichi must possess a powerful force far beyond the three noble sons and even the main god of Ame-no-Mikado.

Others must take his attitude seriously. After all, others are just trying to divide up the benefits in the world opened up by Li Xuan.

Whether in terms of strength or morality, everyone else must respect His Majesty Taiyi's attitude.

After Li Xuan arrived at Hakurei Shrine, what he saw was the busy chef team led by Erina Chikiri in front of the shrine, and the extremely excited Reimu Hakurei standing beside them.

Honestly, while Gensokyo isn't a big place and its resources aren't particularly plentiful, it's not a place where someone of Reimu's strength wouldn't have enough to eat. It really isn't that bad.

I can only say that Yakumo Yukari, you are guilty of a heinous crime. Look how hungry you have made Reimu.

After noticing Li Xuan's arrival, Hakurei Reimu walked over. Although she was very greedy, it was obvious that there was still some time before the banquet began.

"I see, you are the reason why Old Lady Zi is bleeding so heavily."

Honestly, Reimu Hakurei had never imagined that Yakumo Yukari would host a banquet, let alone one of this caliber. Normally, Yakumo Yukari was the one who got things for free, stealing even a poor miko like her. When had she ever seen her treat anyone else? This was truly a first.

Although Hakurei Reimu had never tasted such delicious food before, judging by Erina Chikiri and the others' cooking skills and the precious, energy-rich ingredients they brought out, it was clear that the cost of hosting this banquet by Yakumo Yukari was extremely high. Even that old woman would probably feel the pain.

This is indeed the case. Although Erina Chikiri is willing to provide three meals a day for the group members, this is a benefit for the group members and does not include hosting banquets for others!

If a group member needs something, they have to pay the corresponding points. Yakumo Yukari had just joined the group and didn't have many points, but she was not without good things. In between, she got precious ingredients and the sacred wine brewed by the god of wine, which were all what Erina Chikiri needed.

"You're probably the only one in this Gensokyo who dares to call her an old woman."

"Haha, that old woman can't beat me anyway. I'm not afraid of her."

Hakurei Reimu put her hands on her hips, looking extremely arrogant, but she had every reason to be arrogant. As a Hakurei shrine maiden, she was unbeatable in Gensokyo under the Great Barrier.

So what if it was Yakumo Yukari? Would Hakurei Reimu be afraid of this old woman? If you have the guts, come and fight her.

"Oh! Really? Then I have to tell Lord Zi about this."

Reimu Hakurei is so arrogant, but she forgets that Yakumo Yukari's Shikigami Yakumo Ran is still here.

This is bad! Hakurei Reimu felt that something was wrong. Although Yakumo Yukari couldn't beat her, Yakumo Yukari didn't fight her either. Relying on the convenient ability of realm, Hakurei Reimu couldn't beat Yakumo Yukari at all.

Originally, Reimu Hakurei was thinking that Yakumo Yukari must have something important to deal with, and she also remembered that Yakumo Yukari had stolen her winter food in the past, so she planned to act a little arrogant, but she forgot that Yakumo Aoi was still here.

It was over, it was all over now. Her food reserves were definitely gone. What should she do?

Hakurei Reimu thought about it but couldn't find a solution. No matter how she stored food for the winter, Yakumo Yukari would definitely find it.

With no other choice, Reimu Hakurei could only give up. This time, she had to have a good meal at the banquet to make up for her losses.

Looking at Reimu Hakurei who looked inexplicably sad, Li Xuan also found it quite interesting.

"Has this witch always been this interesting?"

"hehe………………"

Yakumo Aoi also felt a bit embarrassed. Hakurei Reimu had been raised under her and Lady Murasaki's watch. She felt a certain responsibility for the way things had turned out.

Chapter 638: Hakurei Reimu's Thoughts

"Reimu, stop embarrassing yourself there. I won't tell Lord Murasaki, okay?"

Yakumo Lan understood why Hakurei Reimu behaved so shamefully. If it were any other time, she would just let Hakurei Reimu be embarrassed, but not now. In front of Lord Li Xuan, this was really impolite.

Hakurei Reimu also saw this point clearly. Otherwise, even if she thought so in her heart, she would not do it openly, at least not in front of people she met for the first time. After all, she is one of the few people in Gensokyo who has a sense of integrity, although this sense of integrity is not much.

"Hehe, I knew it, Lan, you're the best."

When Hakurei Reimu saw that her goal had been achieved, she immediately put away her bad look and looked at Li Xuan seriously.

"What exactly do you and Yakumo Yukari want to do?"

Although Reimu Hakurei usually doesn't pay much attention to her work and is not very active in combating various anomalies, it is because she knows that these anomalies will not endanger the safety of Gensokyo, so she is lazy.

But this time it was different. Yakumo Yukari spent a huge amount of money for the first time in history to hold such a banquet, and it was obvious that he had his own purpose.

She didn't believe that Yakumo Yukari was so kind as to invite everyone over for a big meal.

"Why didn't Yakumo Yukari tell you the purpose of this gathering when she sent Erina here?"

"No! If I had, would I even need to ask you?"

Hakurei Reimu replied angrily. Did she feel that Li Xuan was asking even though she knew the answer? If Yakumo Yukari had told her, would she still need to ask Li Xuan?

"Reimu, please don't be rude! Lord Li Xuan is a distinguished guest personally invited by Lord Zi."

Yakumo Lan felt a little uneasy when she saw Reimu's attitude. Li Xuan was not the monsters or gods Reimu had faced in the past. For a being of Li Xuan's level, the Great Barrier? Gensokyo? It was just a tiny place that could be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Everything Reimu relied on in the past is meaningless when facing Li Xuan! Master Zi, why don't you explain things to Reimu? What if something goes wrong?

"Don't be nervous, I'm not that stingy."

Li Xuan waved his hand, indicating that Yakumo Lan didn't need to worry about anything.

"You seem like a big shot."

Seeing Yakumo Lan's anxious expression, Hakurei Reimu's attitude straightened up immediately. Although Yakumo Yukari had watched her grow up, she had always been lazy, and it was Yakumo Lan who really took care of her.

So she also understood that Yakumo Ran had always been a serious person. She was just speaking in a slightly rough tone, but Yakumo Ran was so flustered. It seemed that she had met a real big shot this time.

Hakurei Reimu knew that although she was invincible within Gensokyo, that was only within Gensokyo. The truly powerful beings in the outside world were not something a mere Hakurei shrine maiden could contend with.

"Don't worry about that. I'm just a guest that Yakumo Yukari invited to help me in Gensokyo."

Help? Yakumo Yukari went to such great lengths to ask for help from such a powerful figure, so there must be an extremely terrible price to pay.

"What exactly does Yakumo Yukari want to do?"

Reimu Hakurei's expression was very serious. Since this matter concerned Gensokyo, she would not back down even when facing a big shot like Li Xuan, because this was her duty as a Hakurei shrine maiden.

"Don't be so serious. Do you think Yakumo Yukari will harm Gensokyo?"

Yakumo Yukari would probably be speechless about Hakurei Reimu's concerns. The burden of Gensokyo's two capitals and thirteen regions rests on me, Yakumo Yukari. The words "prosperity, decline, safety, and fate" are not for you, Hakurei Reimu, to speak of.

"That's right!"

Hakurei Reimu's serious expression suddenly relaxed. Yakumo Yukari's series of abnormal behaviors made her a little uneasy, so much so that she forgot that Yakumo Yukari was the one who cared the most about the safety of Gensokyo.

After all, she was the founder of Gensokyo. Although several other sages had helped build it, the power of Yakumo Yukari's realm was the key to Gensokyo's existence. If Yakumo Yukari wanted to do something to Gensokyo, all she had to do was drain away her supply of realm power, and the tide of the human era would immediately destroy everything in Gensokyo.

When she thought of this, Reimu Hakurei immediately became lazy. It seemed that Yakumo Yukari's usual sinister and deep image was too profound, making her a little crazy for a while.

"So what exactly does Yakumo Yukari want to do? She's making such a big scene."

Although she was relieved, Reimu Hakurei still wanted to know what Yakumo Yukari was going to do.

"You should also know this! Gensokyo can't continue like this forever. The outside world is developing at a rapid pace. One day they will discover this place. It goes without saying what will happen then."
