The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

Shi Bai looked up and sighed deeply.

"After all, the magnificent and beautiful Jade Tower is here, but if the surrounding environment and facilities are not up to par and it is still a barren, dark, scorched earth, then it would be too embarrassing for me, and others would doubt my terrible aesthetic taste."

"........."

Turning away expressionlessly, Heka indicated that she didn't want to talk, and even wanted to pick up a large rock from the ground and smash it hard on the man's face, which she found extremely hateful.

..................................................................

Since he wanted to build the Underworld, Shi Bai would certainly not just talk about it; after all, he has always been a man of action.

Since I built the Hakugyokurou myself, I might as well also take control of the Hall of Right and Wrong's construction. In the future, I'll be the landlord of a certain glutton and a certain Yama... Maybe I can try building the Crimson Moe Hall, the Hakurei Shrine, or something like the Tower of the Rising Sun...

However, his ambition to become the largest landowner in the future Gensokyo had only just begun when he was betrayed by Heca.

"...Where are the construction workers I asked you to find?"

Looking at Heca's empty back, Shi Bai's expression turned rather strange as he had just chosen the location for the Hall of Right and Wrong and was about to draw up the construction plans.

"Uh... not at the moment."

Heca shook his head quite honestly.

"The gods of the underworld that I recruited all ran away as soon as I said I was coming to help build the house."

"Then go find some monsters from hell!!"

"Hell and the underworld are not the same place. Monsters can go to hell, but that doesn't mean they can come to the underworld. Do you think there are many perverts like you?"

Heca rolled her eyes, utterly speechless.

"Oh, by the way, Jin Jieluo asked me to look for you..."

"So you're just a lone commander? You don't even have a single errand boy to run errands for you!?"

Before Heca could finish speaking, Shi Bai interrupted her, still unwilling to give up, and pressed her for an answer.

"Who says there aren't any? Once the demons of hell are born, they will have many, many subordinates."

Heca pouted unhappily when her words were interrupted.

"...When will the fairies of hell be born?"

"Hmm... probably around a thousand years."

After thinking for a moment, Heca replied, adding an extra sentence.

"It's very short."

Shi Bai: "..."

Someone's dream of becoming the biggest landowner in Gensokyo was thus abruptly interrupted.

P.S.: There will be another update later.

Chapter 82 A Short-Lived Race with a Lifespan of Only Ten Thousand Years (Fifth Update)

To be honest, Shi Bai really didn't expect that he would have any connection with Bai Yulou.

After all, when he built the Jade Tower, he intended to replicate it in the Dream World. However, he never expected that his shoddy imitation would turn out to be the real thing...

...Who could have imagined that the dream world would merge with the underworld?

Everything in the story can only be considered a matter of chance.

However, after arriving in Hell for the first time in a long time, he was slightly stunned when he saw the already quite prosperous city in front of him.

Fluorite, streetlights, torches, and all sorts of other lighting tools transformed the newly built city into a hellish city that never sleeps.

For some reason, looking at the bustling city before him, he couldn't help but think of the old capital of Gensokyo in later generations.

The so-called Old Capital is actually an underground city, which was once part of Hell but was abandoned due to Hell's miniaturization project. It can be reached from the surface through the deep tunnels of Hell.

The old capital is inhabited by all sorts of monsters. Some are sealed away because they possess forbidden powers, some are sealed underground because they hate their own powers, and some are reclusive because they have difficulty communicating with others.

These despised monsters, along with the entire city, were isolated. The most representative of them were the oni (ghosts).

The residents of the old capital spend their days drinking, having fun, and enjoying life, rarely interacting with the world above. At the same time, the demons living in the old capital also bear the responsibility of suppressing the vengeful spirits underground.

This is all the information and memories he has about the old capital.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence..."

Looking at the bustling city in front of him, which was almost two-thirds of the way up, Shi Bai shook his head almost imperceptibly.

After all, regardless of whether this newly built city is the old capital of later generations, that is a very distant future, isn't it?

..............................................................................

"Want to order a new batch of tools?"

After reuniting with Jin Jieluo, Shi Bai was not surprised by the urgent request that the other party made.

After experiencing the speed of building houses in Minecraft, following the usual step-by-step construction schedule would inevitably seem rather inefficient.

"That's right, we also need a lot of those lighting tools, please help us."

Jin Jieluo nodded very seriously.

"Hmm... I can sell you some more of those things, anyway, they're not very useful to me... But there's something I want to ask you."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai nodded.

"How many members of the Jue clan were left after that war?"

"Sleep……"

After a moment of silence, Jin Jieluo spoke with a sour tone.

"The Jue clan has been almost completely wiped out. They were the most devastated clan among the great demons. The only remaining pair of sisters are still in the Demon Mountain... Is there something you need from them?"

"Inside the Mountain of Yokai..."

Shi Bai tapped his forehead and felt a slight headache.

To be honest, he was also a little afraid of this kind of monster that could read other people's inner secrets without any reason.

After all, he harbored too many secrets that he couldn't reveal to others.

Although he really wanted to see Xiao Wu and Lianlian of this era, if they could read his secrets, it wouldn't be a good thing for them, and might even bring them great disaster.

The more you know, the more dangerous it is. This rule applies everywhere. If Komeiji and the others were in Hell, it would be fine, but they're still on the mountain, and unfortunately, my next destination is the Youkai Mountain...

"...It's nothing, I'm just a little curious about these legendary monsters that can read minds."

Shaking his head, Shi Bai stood up and casually brushed aside the previous questions with a single sentence.

"By the way, what about Ibaraki Kasen? How is she doing? Has she returned to the Youkai Mountain?"

"Hua Shan's condition has improved a lot now, but she doesn't seem to be moving on from the past..."

With a soft sigh, Jin Jieluo also stood up.

"By the way, the selection of the new Demon King is coming soon. If possible, I would like to invite you to the Demon Mountain to participate in this once-in-a-millennium event for the demon race."

"A new Demon King selection... Watermelon?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Shi Bai nodded.

"Since this is a once-in-a-millennium grand occasion, then naturally I must go and participate."

"watermelon?"

Hearing the thoughtful words of the man in front of her, Jin Jieluo was slightly taken aback.

"Ahem...no, I meant do you want to eat watermelon?"

Shi Bai coughed a few times, then took out a watermelon from his storage ring and placed it on the table.

"As a bonus for this bulk purchase, I'll give you 1000 watermelons, 100 watermelon pitchers, and 10 ice watermelon pitchers... Hmm, and I'll also throw in a corn cannon. Aren't you guys having a headache over the punishments Hell has set for those sinners? I think you could do this..."

Many years later, because of Shi Bai's suggestions regarding punishment, he was placed at the top of the kill list by the vengeful spirits in hell.

...............................................................

"What, the deal was settled so quickly?"

In the courtyard of the White Jade Pavilion in the Underworld, Heca, who had been listlessly lying on the table, looked up with some curiosity at the person who had returned from Hell.

"It's just a transaction, how long do you think it will take?"

Rolling his eyes, Shi Bai sat down on a bench in the courtyard.

"In short, come back to me when you have enough helpers. Although I promised to help you build the Underworld, even the most skilled cook can't cook without ingredients. After all, it will take at least several years for just the two of us to build the planned Hall of Right and Wrong..."

"So short?"

Before Shi Bai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the goddess in front of him with great surprise.

"I thought it would take at least several hundred years."

"I think there is a serious difference in our understanding of the length of time."

With his eyes half-closed, Shi Bai's words carried a slight hint of speechlessness.

"A building takes hundreds of years to build... What a shameful construction speed! It's just as pathetic as the existence of a race with a lifespan of only ten thousand years, as Tsukiyomi said..."

"A short-lived race with a lifespan of only ten thousand years?"

After thinking for a moment, Heca nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"A lifespan of only ten thousand years? Isn't it tragic that such a short-lived race exists? It's utterly tragic... Seriously, can there really be such a short-lived race?"

"........."

P.S.: Fifth update complete.

The bounty notice will continue until it's removed from the main bookshelf, anyway, there probably won't be many extra chapters...

By the way, the fixed daily update is two chapters, and any extra chapters are counted in addition to these two fixed chapters.

...I still feel sorry for my old book that I wrote 260 million words of, since it will basically never be available again after it was taken down from shelves.

Chapter 83 The White Wolf Tengu of the Monster Mountain

On a June morning, the dawn breaks early in the east.

As if foreshadowing the passing of spring, when grass grows and birds sing, the birds on the branches coo and preen their beautiful feathers with sleepy eyes.

"It seems like there are a lot of pigeons lately..."

He casually tossed a stone, knocking down the "coo" that was several times larger than the pigeons he remembered. Turning to look at the towering, majestic mountains in front of him, Shi Bai couldn't help but look thoughtful.

Places like the Mountain of Yokai are actually quite easy to find.

After finishing his business in the underworld, he set off for this place. Originally, he thought that the Monster Mountain was just an independent mountain similar to Phoenix Feather Mountain. But when he actually stood in front of the Monster Mountain, he realized how wrong his preconceived notions were.

The mountain of monsters before us is clearly an extremely majestic and massive mountain range, with its peaks soaring into the clouds and exuding an imposing aura.

Although many yokai voluntarily went to hell, a considerable number of yokai chose to continue living in Yokai Mountain.

He had been walking along the mountain path for less than ten minutes when a nimble figure leaped down from the shadows of the trees beside him and blocked his way, holding a snow-white longsword that was pointed straight at him.

"Outsider, this..."

"I own this mountain, I planted these trees?"

Before the girl with short white hair and animal ears could speak, Shi Bai suddenly interrupted her.

"...The Mountain of Monsters is not a place for outsiders."

Clearly interrupted by his sudden remark, the white-haired, beast-eared girl paused for a moment before continuing to speak.

"Martial law is currently in effect..."

"If you want to pass, leave some money to pay the toll?"

"........."
