Then, with a cry of surprise, Xia Yan saw a dazzling light that almost blinded his own eyes.

In the 'soul vision' after the Yin Spirit left the body, the entire figure of the human-machine monkey was bathed in infinite golden light, as dazzling as the sun, making Xia Yan have the illusion that his Yin Spirit might be melted by this light at any time.

wrong.

"Hiss, this doesn't seem to be an illusion."

Thinking back to the 100-chapter version of Journey to the West, in Chapter 97, the Monkey King went to the underworld to help Mr. Kou regain his soul. His divine light illuminated the entire underworld, flattened the sword tree and the knife mountain, and instantly brought the demons in the City of the Dead and the resentful ghosts under the Naihe Bridge to life. Xia Yan suddenly felt a little creepy.

There is also a passive and indiscriminate aura effect of transcendence on the human-machine monkey that is invisible to the naked eye.

In a sense, compared to monsters with flesh and blood that need to be physically liberated, human-machine monkeys are more lethal at the soul level. They don't need to do anything, just stand still, and without actively converging, they can indiscriminately liberate all souls they pass by.

So what if you become a ghost immortal?

In front of the human-machine monkey, I am worse than a living person.

At least the living people can still stand, but the ghost immortals facing the human-machine monkeys may not even be able to make a sound and will be killed on the spot.

"If it weren't for the system mechanism, leaving your soul around the monkey would be tantamount to actively seeking death and suicide!"

Xia Yan seemed to be lost in thought.

The immunity to friendly fire from intelligent NPC teammates means that the human-machine monkey cannot hurt him at all. Even if his Yin Spirit leaves his body and faces the permanent passive divine light that appears at the soul level, he will at most feel that it is a bit too dazzling, but he will not be turned to ashes by the divine light on the spot.

On the other hand, he was also unable to have any influence on the human-machine monkey at the soul level, although it was impossible for him to do so.

"Hmm, soul level...hiss~"

Xia Yan suddenly had a bold idea - he remembered that the spirit of the [Great Holy Grail] said that it was impossible to collect information about the human-machine monkey itself. The main reason was that the function of the [Great Holy Grail] was completely unable to analyze the human-machine monkey and could not understand the existence of the human-machine monkey.

But that is powerlessness on the physical level.

What about at the soul level?

Even if the [Great Holy Grail] still cannot overcome the gap between the human-machine monkey in terms of "personality", "dimension" and "level" and collect the corresponding information, but if it is used as a springboard... is it possible to imprint some information on the human-machine monkey?

You know, when the human-machine monkey is flying in the clouds, the somersault cloud under its feet can be used by the [Holy Grail] and [Error of No Return] to collect and analyze information. Even if it is very, very slow, the progress bar is indeed rising.

In other words, through his "watching" while his Yin Spirit was out of his body, the [Great Holy Grail] and [the Error of No Return] were able to touch the divine light of the human-machine monkey.

"Wait, if I let the [Great Holy Grail] and [No Return Error] touch the human-machine monkey under my own divine light, compress the information I have collected and analyzed into the spirit base of 'I (Ghost Immortal)', and use the incomplete third-law soul to materialize 'I (Ghost Immortal)''s Servant, I can then refine 'I (Ghost Immortal)' into a thought of my own, can it be..."

He remembered that in a certain novel, there was a cultivation system called "Ghost Immortal". In the early stages, it required corresponding visualization methods, visualizing something in the mind to practice.

For example: visualizing various demons to suppress them, visualizing the images of Buddha and Bodhisattva to increase one's own power...

There are also visualizations to comprehend the fragrance of flowers, visualizations of thunder to practice thunder magic, visualizations of the scorching sun...

In the Ghost Immortal cultivation method he obtained, there is also the concept of visualization, but it is not as exaggerated as the cultivation system of the same name in the novel. It is only used to make the Yin Spirit leave the body. But if it is combined with the [Great Holy Grail] and [The Error of No Return], collecting and analyzing the information of the human-machine monkey bathed in its own divine light, and then inputting it into the servant's spiritual base created by the [Great Holy Grail] with the information in his Ghost Immortal state (Yin Spirit leaving the body), isn't this also another form of visualization?

If it really succeeds...

Xia Yan felt his heart skip a beat.

His yin spirit quickly returned to its place and returned to his body.

After reopening his eyes, he immediately summoned the [Greater Holy Grail] and called out Irena and the spirit of the artifact - Justisa, to study together whether his idea could be realized.

"Theoretically, it is possible, Master."

After an in-depth discussion, the spirit of the weapon spoke first:

"For some reason, the Servant's spiritual gene is stitched with the information of other Servants, and even thereby obtains Noble Phantasms or characteristics that do not belong to them. The principle is feasible."

"Just like the Red Assassin Semiramis's Noble Phantasm, the Hanging Gardens of Vanity, during the Romanian Holy Grail War you participated in. The Assyrian empress was not supposed to possess it, but due to numerous misunderstandings in later generations, it became associated with the concept of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, resulting in the possession of a Noble Phantasm that created a false hanging garden."

"While this did not transform her into Princess Amytis of the Median Kingdom, she still possessed the Hanging Gardens Noble Phantasm, which was supposed to be owned by Amytis's Heroic Spirit."

“But there are also hidden dangers.”

Irena added:

"Just like me, after possessing the spiritual base of Lady Avalon, Mary, I was inevitably influenced by the information within the spiritual base. I'm not sure how much I lean towards Lady Avalon, spiritually and cognitively."

"Even if the information about the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is small, as long as the amount increases, you will still be affected... Especially since you intend to store his information in the spirit base of the Servant Xia Yan (Ghost Immortal), and use the Third Method of Soul Materialization on the Servant Xia Yan (Ghost Immortal), and then refine another 'self' into a part of yourself, in order to visualize the Great Sage Equaling Heaven—"

The witch hesitated for a moment, but continued:

"—This won't turn you into Him, nor will you turn into a monkey, but your spirit and cognition will definitely be distorted."

"I can probably imagine it."

Xia Yan pointed to his heart.

"If it doesn't work, it's fine. But if I succeed and truly visualize the Monkey King, by analyzing and collecting the monkey's intelligence, I can obtain a fragmented version of the Monkey King's own magical powers. Naturally, a monkey will reside in my heart."

"And I must tame this inner monkey before I can truly visualize the Monkey King. Only then can I comprehend and cultivate the incomplete version of the Monkey King's magical powers."

After taking a deep breath, Xia Yan said calmly:

"Then let's get started!"

"If there were a chance to acquire the magical powers and abilities of the Monkey King, a chance to become the hero of my childhood dreams... I think the vast majority of older Chinese, from children to the elderly, wouldn't mind giving it a try to challenge and subdue their inner monkey."

The third instance: 90. The final boss who died early

Time flies, and the years pass by. Once any story begins, it is unclear whether it can have a perfect or imperfect ending, but there will definitely be an intermediate process.

For Kagome, a JK from the island country in 1996, she is now experiencing a story that should be called something like: 'Love Across Time and Space', 'Love in the Past Life, Fate in This Life', etc.

However, at the beginning, Kagome didn't know that this was her own story. The core content was about traveling through time and space to fall in love, and she mistakenly thought it was some kind of myth or legend.

After all, at the beginning of the story, she saw monsters, the Four Souls Jade, and kept traveling back and forth between two different time and space...

...If the plot had followed a normal course, she would have experienced adventures spanning 56 volumes and more than 500 chapters in the comic version, and more than 190 episodes in the anime version, in less than a year. In the process, she would have gone through hardships with Inuyasha, her former lover and current husband, and her own "self" from her previous life, who had become independent in the form of an obsessed soul, ending an extremely bizarre love triangle and ultimately achieving a happy ending.

But that's under normal circumstances.

Now the plot is not normal.

Although Inuyasha has a good-looking appearance and is considered a handsome guy, he is still a "suck-up" in the physical sense.

But how to say it?

Before experiencing too much life and death experience and relying on others.

Kagome, who has not awakened her past life memories, is unable to leave modern society for love and stay in the ancient times where there is not even paper to wipe one's butt.

Before he officially set out on his journey to collect the Four Souls Jade fragments, he had already seen the towering Ruyi Jingu Bang from afar...

"That's Sun Wukong!"

The thought of falling in love with Inuyasha had not yet sprouted before it was strangled in its cradle by the girl's fanatical fanaticism of chasing stars. She also ignored the former's jealous expression. Even though she still embarked on the journey to collect the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, apart from part of her mind being focused on cleaning up the mess she had made, the rest of her mind was all focused on asking her idol for an autograph.

"The Monkey King, the most famous demon in history from Journey to the West, who wreaked havoc in Heaven, actually existed and appeared in this era. Of course I want his autograph!"

"Not only me, my family also wants..."

While Inuyasha was making a sour face, Kagome excitedly told her other companions in the team, including the monk Miroku, the exorcist girl Sango, the two-tailed cat-shaped Kirara, and the little fox demon Shippo, about how she occasionally returned to the modern time and space. After telling her family about how she had seen the Monkey King take action, the whole family, young and old, unanimously decided to support her in chasing stars in this time and space, and also hoped to get the Monkey King's autograph.

Moreover, this support of the whole family for star chasing is not just verbal. Kagome's grandfather, as an officially recognized legal clergyman, directly applied to the school where Kagome was studying for permission to drop out of school and study on his own, using the excuse that she wanted to inherit the family business and practice as a shrine maiden.

This is largely due to the fact that after Kagome officially started her journey to collect the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, she encountered Naraku due to the push of fate, and naturally she also met Kikyo, who was resurrected with a small part of her soul attached to a clay body.

Then, during a confrontation between the protagonists and the villains, something unexpected happened...

...Naraku is dead.

Yes, the final boss of the story did not even make it to the end before he was defeated due to an irresistible dimensionality reduction attack.

The reason is that the resurrected Kikyo, under the pressure of being misunderstood, began to snatch the Shikon fragments from Inuyasha and his crew, and handed them to Naraku without hesitation, preparing to use the power of the Shikon Jewel to purify Naraku and the Shikon Jewel together, and completely eliminate the two troubles from the world forever.

Naraku didn't know what he did.

Suddenly, a monkey came flying in the clouds and smashed him to pieces with a stick.

What is very interesting is that Platycodon, who was resurrected from the dead, was also liberated and passed away the moment she met the monkey flying in the clouds.

Right in front of Kagome, Inuyasha and the others.

Afterwards, Kagome quickly picked up the camera she brought with her and took a picture of the monkey. Because of the photos she developed, she gained unanimous support from the whole family for her to drop out of school and go back to the past to chase stars.

At the same time, because Kikyo's obsessed soul was liberated, the separated part of the soul did not dissipate, but directly returned to the body of Kagome, the reincarnated body, allowing her to gradually awaken some of Kikyo's memories. Although she did not inherit Kikyo's feelings for Inuyasha, she also knew about the various grievances and entanglements between her, Inuyasha and Naraku in her previous life.

So, while chasing the star, I also felt grateful and wanted to find the monkey that exorcised demons to express my gratitude.

By the way, the other people in the team, except Inuyasha, also feel grateful to the monkey.

The little fox demon's father was killed by the Thunder Beast brothers, but the pair of larger demons were killed by the monkey, indirectly helping Shippo to avenge his father's death;

Miroku was cursed by Naraku, and his father and grandfather died because of the curse. Naraku was blasted to pieces by the monkey, which directly helped him to remove the curse and avenge his family.

Coral's entire family was killed by Naraku, and she was deceived and exploited by Naraku and almost died. After Monkey killed Naraku in front of her, he immediately helped her to take revenge.

Therefore, in this group of Monkey King fans, Inuyasha is the only one who is out of place.

As for why Monkey suddenly came over and killed Naraku?

This was also what Kagome and the others wanted to figure out when they not only collected the fragments of the Shikon Jade but also insisted on finding the monkey's specific location to thank him in person.

The protagonists don’t know that it was the monkey who came to kill Naraku.

It was just that Naraku accidentally killed himself.

……

……

"So, when I was exploring the magically modified Ghost Immortal cultivation method, transitioning from the orthodox Taoist Five Immortals system to a novelized version, and preparing to embark on the Monkey King visualization method, the theoretical final boss of this 'dungeon' sent an avatar to find me."

After concluding a period of retreat, Xia Yan emerged and watched Irena pointing at a ball of ash on the ground. She calmly recounted how the spirit of the [Great Holy Grail] had gathered intelligence on the ash, and how she had used the computing power of [No Return] to infer the cause and effect. He said with a look of uncertainty:

"That's right. Naraku, the villainous boss, is very obsessed with the Four Souls Jade. Not only does he need the Four Souls Jade to complete his transformation, but he is also being induced and controlled by the Four Souls Jade. He must have known that some of the Four Souls Jade fragments fell into my hands. Since he can create clones and is not afraid of death, and with his perception of the Four Souls Jade, it's not surprising that he came here..."

Then, things become simple. Naraku certainly won't dare to provoke the human-machine monkey, but he will definitely try his best to snatch the fragments of the Four Souls Jade from the monkey's hands right under his nose. He may even intend to control him for his own use in order to threaten the human-machine monkey.

After all, he is just a human being. In the eyes of a wild man like Naraku, cricket humans are not worth mentioning at all. As long as they are parasitized and controlled by it using its special abilities, they can become hostages to force the human-machine monkey to listen to it.

So...

If Naraku only showed hostility towards the human-machine monkey, the human-machine monkey would not react at all unless he took the initiative to attack.

This was something Xia Yan could be sure of. The human-machine monkey with all six senses gathered was basically equivalent to the Monkey King in his heyday in the Black Myth universe. Not to mention Naraku, even if a bunch of big monsters from this "copy" world gathered in front of it, the human-machine monkey would not react. It was probably because it judged them to be too "weak" to be a threat.

But if he showed hostility towards him and really intended to attack him, as long as Naraku was in the "hatred value lock range" of the human-machine monkey, the human-machine monkey would immediately trigger the intelligent NPC teammate's combat assistance mechanism.

"Monkey flew out and killed them all."

"Ah."

Irena nodded.

"In a flash, He flew out, and soon returned."

"Should I say it's pitiful? Or should I say it's stupid?"

Xia Yan shook his head helplessly.

He could probably imagine Naraku's mentality. Relying on his certain degree of immortality and the ability to create clones to hide his original body, he thought he would not be killed by the human-machine monkey. However, he never expected that the monkey would go out for a walk and pull out all his clones and original body and beat them to death with a stick.

But this suicidal behavior, in addition to killing himself, also brought Xia Yan a little trouble - without Naraku's obstruction, the protagonist group would be able to collect the fragments of the Shikon Jade faster, and Kagome could sense the location of the Shikon Jade, so it wouldn't be long before she would come to him.

That means this 'copy' will end early.

This is not what Xia Yan wants to see now.

"It seems I can't stay in this island country anymore. I might as well cross the sea to the Shenzhou Continent and travel west to seek the truth!"

(PS: I'm a little stuck, so I'll just skip over the plot. This 'copy' isn't very long, and since there's a big hug, there's no need to write the original plot in detail. After that, I'll just go west to seek the truth~)

The third instance: 91. The extraordinary decline of the Central Plains (4k+)

When Japan entered the so-called Warring States Period.

The Central Plains Dynasty, across the sea, is not doing much better these days.

After all, the main story of Inuyasha takes place around 1543, and the best evidence is the use of muskets in the story, which were introduced to Japan by the Portuguese in 1543. In the early stages of the story, the heroine Kagome mistakenly thought someone was Oda Nobunaga, but was told by that person that his surname was Takeda, not Oda, which happened to correspond to the daimyo Takeda Shingen in the early Warring States period of Japan.

Therefore, the time is estimated to be before the rise of Oda Nobunaga, that is, before the Battle of Okehazama in 1560, probably some time between 1543 and 1560.

During this period of the Ming Dynasty...
