Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

"As you know, because of the Saigyou demon, Youyouko has been forced to stay in the underworld. This time, Gensokyo has been upgraded. I want to solve Youyouko's problem and let her live in Gensokyo."

"This matter is actually very simple. Yakumo Yukari, do you know why you were unable to resolve the problem of Saigyo Yao? And why are the higher-ups in the underworld so strange in their attitude towards Saigyo Yao and Saigyoji Yuyuko?"

Yes, the attitude of the underworld towards the Journey to the West monster is very strange. Although the Journey to the West monster is not weak, that is only for Yakumo Yukari and others. For the underworld with a profound foundation, it is not difficult to solve it.

As a result, the high-level officials in the underworld had an almost laissez-faire attitude towards the Saigyou demon, and also gave Saigyouji Youyouko considerable power and status. This matter is by no means as simple as it seems.

"The reason Saigyouji Yuyuko is connected to the Saigyou demon is because the Saigyou demon's roots have spread to the human world! And the underworld's excuse for not openly dealing with the Saigyou demon is that the Saigyou demon has penetrated deep into various parts of the underworld. Don't you, Yakumo Yukari, feel anything from this?"

Yakumo Yukari was also a little troubled by the series of questions raised by Li Xuan. She felt that the answers to these questions were about to come out, but she just couldn't grasp that key ray of inspiration.

"Alas! Yakumo Yukari, don't you think about this? The underworld has never been below the human world, and many places in the underworld are independent small spaces. How can the roots of the Westward Journey Demon grow to these places?"

"...Perhaps it's because it grew in the underworld and absorbed an excessive amount of death energy, causing you to misjudge the fundamental nature of the Westward Journey Demon. It's obvious that the Westward Journey Demon is a true time and space demon plant, not a death demon plant. Yakumo Yukari, your understanding was wrong from the beginning."

Is that really the case? No wonder all the methods she had racked her brains to come up with had little effect on the Westward Journey Monster. It turned out that she had been going in the wrong direction from the beginning.

"But why do I only sense a strong aura of death from the Journey to the West monster? I don't sense any other power at all?"

Saigyouji Yuyuko understood Yakumo Yukari's efforts to separate her from the Saigyou demon, and naturally wanted to understand why the Saigyou demon gave her such a strong aura of death. Otherwise, they wouldn't have misjudged Jie. "It's simple. Why did the Saigyou demon choose you to be part of it? It's because you are naturally in tune with death, able to bear its excessive aura of death."

"Although the Westward Journey Demon possesses extraordinary bloodline and can withstand the environment of the underworld and continue to grow, the overly strong aura of death still poses a danger of polluting its bloodline. Therefore, it chose you to bear this excessive force of death."

"It's not difficult for me to solve the problem with Saigyouji Yuyuko, but Yakumo Yukari, have you thought about how to deal with the wrath of the underworld? The underworld has worked so hard for so long to train Saigyou, not just for you to pick peaches."

Li Xuan could immediately discern the hidden meaning behind the Westward Journey Monster. A demonic plant with the attributes of time and space wouldn't be born so easily. The bloodline of the Westward Journey Monster wasn't simple.

Chapter 648: Soul-Torture of Yan Luo

"The most famous plants with time and space properties are nothing more than the Jianmu in the west or the World Tree in Norse mythology. The Westward Journey Demon is clearly a throwback to its ancestors. Although it cannot compare to its ancestors, its potential is also great. At least it can easily support a small world like the Underworld. The higher-ups in the Underworld clearly think so."

As long as you understand the background of the Journey to the West monster, everyone will understand what the underworld is planning.

Whether it is Jianmu or the World Tree, they both play the role of supporting the world, and not only that, they can also draw more energy from the void of the universe.

These two advantages weren't particularly noticeable during the Age of Gods, as space was stable and energy was abundant. But in this age, arguably the end of the Dharma, when everyone is hiding in caves or small worlds, they've become extremely prominent.

"And after all, the treatment offered by the underworld isn't bad, is it? Yakumo Yukari, do you really have to force Saigyouji Yuyuko to come to Gensokyo? Managing the undead stranded in the underworld is a considerable power."

To be honest, Li Xuan felt that the treatment given to Saigyouji Youyouko in the underworld was quite good.

For comparison, the ghosts and the Earth Spirit Hall, who also live in the underworld, not only live in the extremely harsh conditions of the Old Land 860 Hell, but are also responsible for suppressing all kinds of monsters and evil spirits.

As for Yuyuko Saigyouji, she has nothing to do all day long and has a very high status.

You should know that the underworld in Japan is completely modeled after the structure of the western continent.

The Hall of Right and Wrong was established and commanded by the Ten Supreme Kings. Shiki Eiji was just one of the many Yamas in charge of judgment, equivalent to the judge in the western continent.

As for Yuyuko Saigyouji, she is responsible for managing the souls stranded in the underworld. The territory allocated to her is as large as two hundred yojanas, or two to three thousand kilometers in radius, which is much larger than Gensokyo.

His status and power are basically equivalent to those of the mayor of the City of the Dead in the western continent, which means he is almost equal to the Ten Kings of the Hall of Right and Wrong.

It can be said that the position offered by the underworld is quite sincere. Above this, only the true rulers of the underworld, such as Hecatia, the goddess of hell, can be ranked higher.

When the Saigyou demon grows up completely, it is not impossible for Saigyouji Youyouzi's status to be raised further.

"It has nothing to do with these things. I just want Youyouzi to return to the earth. What's more, the Underworld values Xixing Yao, not Youyouzi. If anything goes wrong, Youyouzi may be abandoned."

Yakumo Yukari knew that the underworld gave Saigyouji Yuuko a high status, but she felt even more that the underworld valued Saigyouji more. She didn't understand why in the past, but now she understood.

This made her even more worried. Although Youyouzi and Xixingyao are almost one now, it is only almost. If something goes wrong and Xixingyao and Youyouzi need to choose one of the two, it goes without saying which side the underworld will choose.

This is not impossible. After all, it was Saigyo-yō who chose Saigyoji Yuyuko, not Yuyuko who chose Saigyo-yō. The dominant position has never been in Yuyuko's hands. Under such circumstances, how could Yakumo Yukari not be worried!

When she arrived in Gensokyo, it was obvious to Yakumo Yukari who she would choose between Saigyoyao and Saigyoji Yuyuko.

Therefore, for Youyouzi, she would pay a small price. She understood that Li Xuan's persuasion was not about how difficult the gods of the underworld were for him to deal with. This was simply impossible.

Rather, it meant that her benefits as a new member of the chat group had already been used to upgrade Gensokyo. If Yakumo Yukari wanted to ask Li Xuan to solve the problem with Saigyouji Yukko, she would have to pay the price herself. Li Xuan asked her to carefully consider this issue.

Obviously, the price was not something she could decide, but depended on what Li Xuan needed. Obviously, Yakumo Yukari also understood what Li Xuan needed, and that was herself.

However, Yakumo Yukari was well prepared for this. She had been mentally prepared since she invited Li Xuan to Gensokyo. After all, Li Xuan's reputation in the chat group was well known to everyone, and she had known it for so long after being lurking for so long.

This wasn't a big deal. She had lived long enough to see many more romantic figures than Li Xuan. Whether in terms of temperament, appearance, or strength, Li Xuan was a good choice. When they first met, Yakumo Yukari herself had a favorable impression of him, and that was enough.

As for her relationship with Youyouko, that is complete nonsense. They have a normal relationship as good friends.

As for why Gensokyo is dominated by women and dominated by men, it's entirely Yakumo Yukari's fault. Of the monsters tricked into going to the Moon City, most were male. After all, conquest and violence are in the nature of these male monsters. They caused the most damage to the Moon City, so naturally, they suffered the most. They were practically wiped out.

"Alright then! What do you think, Shiki Eiji? Do you think I need to deal with the gods of the underworld?"

Shiki Eiji originally chose to follow Saigyou Yuyuko to Gensokyo in order to deal with her resignation. Seeing Yakumo Yukari pulling Saigyouji Yuyuko to see Li Xuan, she naturally followed them secretly.

Because of her trust in Li Xuan, Yakumo Yukari was a little careless and did not notice the little tail of Shiki Yingji.

This naturally could not be hidden from Li Xuan's eyes, but Li Xuan did not point it out. Instead, he helped Shiki Eiji hide from Yakumo Yukari's perception. It was not until this moment that he suddenly pointed out her existence.

Shiki Eiji was a little confused after hearing so many secrets of the underworld. She finally understood why Saigyouji Yuyuko had such a high status and why her boss asked her to pay attention to her.

As a result, she was suddenly caught by Li Xuan, who said that he wanted to deal with the gods of the underworld. Although she didn't know how Li Xuan was going to deal with it, she thought it would definitely not be a good thing.

"Your Majesty, please punish me for my sins. I shouldn't have secretly followed Saigyouji Yuyuko and eavesdropped on your conversation with her."

Only then did Shiki Yingji realize what mistake she had made, and hurriedly asked Li Xuan for punishment. This was the problem she needed to deal with most, and she couldn't let it connect her to other people in the underworld.

"I'm not such a petty person, and this is what I asked you to hear. Otherwise, do you think you can hide it from my perception? Now I want you to answer whether I need to deal with the gods of the underworld? After all, Yakumo Yukari has asked me to help deal with the matter of Saigyouji Yuyuko. Will the gods of the underworld be resentful about this?"

Chapter 649 Li Xuan’s Bad Taste

Although she didn't know the inside story of Yuyuko Saigyouji before, she could feel how much the high-ranking officials in the underworld valued Yuyuko Saigyouji.

Not to mention that now that she knew the inside story, she was naturally very clear about the importance of the Westward Journey Demon to the underworld, but the Polaris group before had directly informed everyone of Li Xuan's supreme power.

Under such circumstances, although this Westward Journey Demon is powerful, it is no longer something that the underworld can control.

After all, she knew how close the relationship between Yakumo Yukari and Saigyouji Yukari was. Although Yakumo Yukari's strength was not particularly strong at the moment, after establishing a relationship with Li Xuan, Yakumo Yukari was no longer the same as before.

Originally, Shiki Eiji was still thinking about how to persuade her immediate superior, Juou, to give up Saigyouji Yuyuko, so as to avoid too big a conflict with Yakumo Yukari.

The result was Li Xuan's soul-searching question. Would the gods of the underworld feel resentful about this? Isn't this natural?

After all, something he had cultivated for so long was taken away by Li Xuan. Anyone would be angry.

However, facing Li Xuan's question, Shiki Yingji did not dare to answer truthfully. After all, Li Xuan's strength was there, and he was not someone who could be provoked by a few small gods in the underworld who were wandering around in the solar system.

But lying is not an option either. Not to mention that it goes against Shiki Yingji's own way of doing things, more importantly, she understands that for a high-ranking god, lying is always the stupidest behavior and has no effect other than angering Li Xuan.

Therefore, Shiki Eiji didn't know how to answer. She was very anxious for a moment, but she couldn't speak.

"Okay! It seems I can."

"Your Majesty, this is only human nature. I will certainly persuade them properly. Please calm down!"

Li Xuan's words immediately made Shiki Yingji anxious. She still remembered that Li Xuan had said that he would deal with the matter of the underworld gods. Could it be that her hesitation had annoyed Li Xuan?

"Oh? Calm down, what are you calming down for? I'm not angry."

"They've cultivated the Journey to the West monster for so long, and I took it away. It's natural for them to be angry. I'm not a dictator or a tyrant, so how could I possibly be angry about something like this?"

"well!?"

Li Xuan's answer surprised Shiki Yingji. It was completely different from what she had imagined. Could it be that she had been judging others by her own standards?

No! Looking back at Li Xuan's tone and gesture before, as well as his current answer, it was clear that he was deliberately leading her to think in this direction.

However, what Shiki Yingji couldn't understand was the purpose of Li Xuan doing this. Was it just to make her panic and tease her?

Impossible! How could such an existence be so boring? However, Li Xuan seemed to see through her current thoughts and deliberately revealed a playful look, as if to tell her that this was what he was thinking.

Alright! The case is solved. Li Xuan, the great god in the universe, is not a serious person. He is clearly a complete god of fun.

Thinking of this, Shiki Yingji felt hardened. The Stick of Repentance in her hand won. If Li Xuan was not too powerful, Shiki Yingji would definitely give him a stick of repentance, and then give him a good lecture for three days and three nights before letting go of Li Xuan, a guy who teased Yama.

Li Xuan also noticed that Shiki Yingji was a little angry, so he didn't want to tease her anymore.

"Alright, alright, enough joking. Now the previous eavesdropping is written off. We cancel each other out. No one owes anyone anything."

Li Xuan's words left Shiki Yingji speechless. "Oh my goodness, you were waiting for me here? You said you weren't petty, but now you're bringing up old issues again after we've already resolved them!"

No, when she asked Li Xuan to punish her before, Li Xuan didn't seem to say how to deal with her, and then turned the topic to the gods of the underworld.

If you put it that way, it is indeed now completely written off.

Li Xuan's actions made Shiki Yingji unable to vent her anger. Although she was teased by Li Xuan, Shiki Yingji still had to thank him for his magnanimity.

This wasn't due to Li Xuan's power, but rather to her perception that her previous eavesdropping was far more serious than Li Xuan's teasing of her. If the two things canceled each other out, Shiki Yingji would admit it.

After such teasing, Shiki Yingji's impression of Li Xuan also changed. He went from a high and mighty god to a fun god with a bad taste, and was no longer so respectful.

This is probably one of Li Xuan's purposes. For Shiki Yingji, who has a serious personality, if she doesn't have this experience, her every move will be too restrained and too boring.

"Okay, let's get back to business. Shiki Eiji, you should have heard it too. I will naturally agree to Yakumo Yukari's request. Saigyouji Yukko and Saigyou Yao must leave the underworld."

"However, I won't take it for nothing. The compensation for taking Saigyouji Yuyuko away will be paid to you by Yakumo Yukari! The newly reborn Gensokyo Underworld will be allocated a portion to you as compensation. This should be enough to offset the loss to the Underworld caused by taking Saigyouyao away."

two .........

"Of course, if the higher-ups in the underworld insist on not cooperating and are unwilling to let things go so easily, then they can just come to me. I'll take on whatever matters arise."

Yakumo Yukari didn't care about Li Xuan's handling of the matter. The new Gensokyo was so big, and it wouldn't hurt to assign a small piece of the underworld to the Office of Right and Wrong. They were all working for her anyway.

Moreover, although the high-level officials in the underworld have had their own plans over the years, their care for Saigyouji Yuyuko is real, and they can just consider it as repaying a favor.

Shiki Eiji had nothing to say. Having participated in today's banquet, she naturally knew how bright the future prospects of Gensokyo would be. It was not difficult for Yakumo Yukari to give sufficient compensation.

Although in a sense, for the high-level officials in the underworld, taking the Westward Journey Demon away is a forced sale, even if there is sufficient compensation, there will definitely be people who feel indignant.

But as the stronger party, being willing to provide sufficient compensation is already merciful enough.

Furthermore, the Saigyou and Saigyouji Yuyuko are practically one and the same, so the situation can't be defined that way. Saigyouji Yuyuko's departure, coupled with adequate compensation, makes perfect sense to Shiki Eiji. If someone remains unhappy and wants to stir up trouble, then being dealt with by Li Xuan is their own fault.

Chapter 650: Yongyuanting, who was excluded by others

"As for the specific compensation measures, Shiki Eiji, please discuss it with Yakumo Yukari! But this is the final word. Do you understand?"

"Yes! I will discuss this with Yakumo Yukari."

Li Xuan had said so much, and Shiki Yingji had nothing to refute. If other people in the underworld had any opinions, let them come to Li Xuan and talk to him themselves.

Seeing that the issue of Saigyouji Yuyuko had been resolved, Yakumo Yukari naturally returned to the banquet. Although she would not personally come down to argue with others, she would at least be here to watch.

However, Li Xuanke was not interested in listening to their heated argument here, so he asked Yakumo Lan to take him back to rest.

After Li Xuan left, the others started arguing a bit louder. If they had been somewhat cautious when Li Xuan was around, they were almost ready to fight once he left.

After all, when dividing interests, if you take a small step back, you will regret it for countless years to come.

Their quarrels were never about the present. According to the existing information, the scale of the world was equivalent to hundreds of Earths. They were too small to take in much, but wise men always looked at the long term.

Just because we can’t eat it now doesn’t mean we won’t be able to eat it in the future. One hundred thousand years or millions of years later, one day, the new Gensokyo will become increasingly saturated. By then, the current agreements and divisions will be very useful.

Therefore, the main reason why these people quarreled so fiercely was because they were considering the future. And because it was a very distant future, even though they quarreled fiercely, they did not actually fight.

Normally, the most powerful force in Gensokyo is naturally the monsters. However, the monsters themselves are composed of countless small races, each of which has its own plans and is not united at all, so they are in a situation of fighting each other.

Next are the various chaotic forces such as gods, immortals, Taoists, Buddhas, vampires, etc., each of which has its own demands.

At the end of the list are naturally humans who have no strong people. As a representative, Hieda Aqiu is just a mortal unless he gives up his physical body. However, after giving up his physical body, Hieda Aqiu becomes a ghost. How can he represent humans?

However, in the end, it was the weakest humans who gained the upper hand and a dominant position. Many forces in Gensokyo have inextricable ties with humans, such as gods, immortals, Buddhism, Taoism and other forces.

With their support, humans eventually became the main body of the new Gensokyo.

There's no way around it. Most of the people who are willing to come to Gensokyo are lazy people with no ambition or integrity. Although they argue fiercely for future interests, that's all.

If other people were given these opportunities, even if they were only for benefits in the distant future, a fight would have already broken out with everyone killing each other.

After all, this is not just a mere 100%, 200%, or 300% benefit, but a benefit of billions of times.

If this matter were to be exposed, and Li Xuan was not in charge, the many mythological forces and humans would fight for countless years, and it is not impossible that the entire world would be destroyed.

Of course, there was one force among them that was unanimously excluded by everyone and had no room for speech.

So who is this power? It is undoubtedly Yongyuanting.

This is understandable. Those who can escape to Gensokyo for refuge are basically marginal figures from various forces. Otherwise, they would not come to Gensokyo to make a living.

There is only one exception among them, and that is Eientei. Although Kaguya Houraisan and Eirin Yagi are also fugitives of the Moon City, there is no doubt that before becoming fugitives, they were the core figures of the Moon City, especially Eirin Yagi. As the sage Eirin Yagi who established the Moon City, he can be said to be a prime minister-like figure who is second only to the gods in the Moon City and above everyone else.

If they bring in the Moon City, no one else will be able to control the situation.
