Chapter 93: The Birth and Disappearance of [Existence]

When Jiang Lai heard the words "birth", his eyes widened slightly, and some incredible guesses flashed in his mind.

The future regulatory commission, and its exclusive logo, the iris, placed everywhere...

Jiang Lai doesn't know what will happen during this period, but he can basically confirm that the Regulatory Commission has a very close relationship with [birth], but this relationship is not necessarily a good one.

Was my eldest sister (eldest brother) deceived? By whom? Was he noose? But logically, he would not have contact with humans. What happened that made him choose to enter the world?

Jiang Lai had a lot of guesses running through his mind, and he didn't know how to express them.

What happens in the future has already happened and cannot be changed by influencing the past.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lai raised his warm brown eyes, smiled softly, and spoke seriously. He said:

"Okay. If I get lost, I'll come back."

"And if one day in the future you get lost, I will cross thousands of mountains and rivers to bring you back."

The [Nativity], who was wearing a beautiful twelve-piece kimono, was slightly startled, and smiled with the corners of her cherry-colored lips: "Okay - although I never get lost, you are welcome to come find me anytime."

He raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Lai's head randomly: "By the way, what you just said also means that you are not going to travel with me, right? Are you planning to go to the world and mingle with humans?"

Jiang Lai blinked his eyes: "Sorry. I plan to go see my friends this time."

"You can visit me," [Shengsheng] released the hand that was ruffling Jiang Lai's hair and looked at him with his peach blossom eyes, "but don't waste your energy for humans anymore - we are immortal, but not immortal."

Jiang Lai looked back at his eldest sister (eldest brother). He realized that this contained information about [existence], and his mind focused.

In a sea of ​​flowers, [Descendant] looked forward and said, "Do you know how cursed spirits are created?"

"I know." Jiang Lai nodded and replied, "It is the accumulation of curse power overflowing from human negative emotions."

"Yes. Curse spirits come from emotions," said [Incarnation]. "And we, in a sense, are born from the spirits' cognition of the origin of the world, time and space, birth and death."

"…recognition?"

"When the rules of the world were initially developed and were not yet fully developed, the power of the world was overflowing. Under the cognition of living beings, the power of the world condensed into [existence], which is us. In other words, we come from the power of the world and the cognition of living beings."

"Later, as the world gradually perfected itself, and the system structure and rules became complete, power would no longer overflow indiscriminately. Only a small amount would float in the air - but that part was not enough to form a complete [existence] under cognitive aggregation."

"..." Jiang Lai listened quietly, with a vague guess in his mind.

At the same time, [Birth] also revealed the answer: "Therefore, the world has been perfected until now, and no new [existence] will be born. If one day we completely disappear, there will be no new ones to take over."

"If your [existence] power is consumed too much without following the rules and in an objective way, the accumulated sins will reduce your godhood - that is, the concentration of world power in you." The Jifa-like figure turned his head, "and the concentrated world power is limited."

Cursed spirits, which are essentially born from negative human emotions, can regenerate continuously. Even if one is exorcised, as long as humans still have fears about the earth, the ocean, the forest, human nature, etc., new cursed spirits will be born.

However, the essence is born from the existence of the overflowing world power. Because the world is already close to perfection, there will be no new existence born and succeeding.

Jiang Lai pursed his lips, then he asked, "What does [completely disappear] mean...?"

"It means that the godhead is completely shattered and the power of the shattered fragments is consumed." [Incarnation] paused, then softened his brows, smiled, and soothed, "Okay, of course, you don't have to be afraid. The conditions for [Existence] to completely disappear are still not easy to achieve."

“As long as you still have a part of your true body and a small piece of your godhead, no matter if you degenerate into a human, a cursed spirit, or an object, you are not completely gone.” He smiled and said, “Even though it will take a long time, you will slowly absorb the scarce world power in the sky, and one day you will recover.”

Jiang Lai relaxed a little after hearing that. His palms were slightly sweaty and he was sorting out his thoughts in his mind.

No matter what happens in the future, at least in the main story timeline thousands of years later, the [Rebirth] ability can still be used, so the original body and the godhead are probably still there.

He has a part of the [Source]'s body (the locust wood pendant) on him, and there is a high probability that the light green divine fragments from the [Source] still have energy - not to mention that one of them is in Sukuna's hands instead of the Supervisory Committee, so it should not be used or consumed.

The straw of hope is still held tightly in my hand.

"So you, idiot, stop worrying about short-lived creatures like humans and just live your life well."

At the end, [Incarnation] turned back to the topic. He seemed to be gritting his teeth and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know what's so good about humans. They actually deceived my good brother. It's obvious that humans are not as lovely as flowers and plants..."

Jiang Lai couldn't help but smile. He said, "No, I wasn't deceived. I just like certain people who get along with me and want to be part of the world."

The words of the eldest sister (eldest brother) just now revealed the birth and disappearance of [existence], but Jiang Lai understood that the disappearance of the divinity of [existence] only refers to the decline of the quasi-god, but this does not necessarily mean the disappearance of the entity.

For him, there is nothing wrong with becoming an ordinary person and integrating into the cycle of life, especially since this is his beginning.

In a sense, being an ordinary person is also a kind of eternal life - experiencing rebirth again and again in the eternal cycle of the world.

Jiang Lai will not escape. He has been walking on the path he has chosen and will not regret: going through thick and thin with his family and friends, playing a happy ending, and then returning home happily.

"Don't worry about me," Jiang Lai replied with a smile, his eyes flickering, "I will create the best future."

"..." [Birth] His peach blossom eyes curled up, and he used his index finger to touch Jiang Lai's brow, not too hard or too soft, "You."

"Although I still don't quite understand what you're thinking, never mind. After all, everyone has his or her own way of life." [Birth] sighed first, then smiled, "Then just follow your own ideas."

The breeze blew through the blue, purple and white iris clusters, carrying the fragrance of flowers and grass, drifting to the distance.

——

Jiang Lai said goodbye to [birth] and returned to Ryomen Sukuna.

The other person glanced at me nonchalantly and said casually, "Too slow."

"Walking is an activity that cultivates the body and mind, not speed." Jiang Lai responded calmly.

The wild boar meat in the big pot had already been eaten up, with only some side dishes left floating on top.

It looked like Li Mei had no intention of cleaning it up. Instead, she neatly wrapped it with an ice spell, then used the spell to break it into tiny ice crystals and threw them on the ground.

Jiang Lai subconsciously raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it destroyed? Then it won't be unusable next time."

"Why would you bring these troublesome things with you on the road?" Ryoumen Sukuna shook his wrist and said naturally, "Whenever you need them, you can just grab one from nearby, and you can also prepare the ingredients on the spot."

Jiang Lai: 6

Although it sounds a bit weird, the speaker is the master, so it seems normal.jpg

He decided not to continue discussing this, since no one could convince anyone anyway. Therefore, Jiang Lai just asked, "How many days does it take to get to Heian-kyō?"

"Ah... about three days." Ryoumen Sukuna did not hide anything. "Probably arrive during the Obon Festival."

Sure enough, it was just as he had guessed. Jiang Lai had a guess in his mind. The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons a thousand years ago was the day of the Obon Festival.

In the following days, their relationship was neither hot nor cold, and was in a delicate state.

Most of the time they ignored each other. When there was a chance, they would definitely make a sarcastic remark or fight each other once or twice, but they would never get angry enough to actually fight.

What made Jiang Lai feel a little regretful was that Liangmen Sukuna never mentioned the transaction again on the journey afterwards, so he could not get more information from it.

But it was not a complete failure - Jiang Lai heard some things about Gojo Satoru from the other party.

"That family has been very popular in recent years. They are planning to rewrite the rules of the world of magic," Ryoumen Sukuna always said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "The name is very important to the nobles."

Jiang Lai frowned slightly when he heard this, and he sensed some of the meaning behind the words.

The rewriting of the five rules of long hair will definitely affect the interests of those nobles. So the fact that they are "important in the hearts of the nobles" is definitely not a good thing.

It is possible that the seemingly reasonable but somewhat problematic arrangement of this One Hundred Demons Night Parade is an action aimed at Gojo.

Three days later, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Heian-kyō. It was night, the sky was dark, and the stars were shining brightly.

What was different from the past was that there was a violent surge of cursed energy in the air, and something dark and accumulated seemed to be about to burst out like a volcanic eruption.

Jiang Lai half-closed his eyes and subconsciously became alert. Ryoumen Sukuna beside him stopped walking, crossed his legs and sat down to rest on the spot.

"...You're not moving forward anymore?" Jiang Lai asked, turning his head to the side.

"What are you doing moving forward? The [door] is about to open, and I have no interest in getting close to the killing curse." Ryomen Sukuna said in a rather casual manner.

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you travel thousands of miles to Heian-kyō?"

"Of course I'm here to watch the fun." Ryoumen Sukuna raised his scarlet eyes and sneered, "Isn't it interesting? I have nothing to do anyway, why not come and watch the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

Jiang Lai certainly didn't believe that the other party was just here to watch, but at this moment he didn't want to waste time staring at the other party.

With thoughts flowing through his mind, Jiang Lai planned to look for the long-haired girl who would be guarding the door alone tonight.

I had previously analyzed the possible conspiracy of the high-level officials in the world of magic to arrange this - to consume the physical strength and magic power of the Six Eyes, and to temporarily transfer Nagaha Gojo to the outskirts of Heian-kyo and ensure that he would not come back during this period - there is a way to break these two points.

All you have to do is go and help Choga Gojo guard the [gate] temporarily, and let the other party return to Heian-kyo quietly and immediately to check the situation.

Whether there is any conspiracy or not, you will know it once you find out.

Thinking this in his mind, Jiang Lai tapped his feet lightly, started the ritual, and headed for the place where the cursed energy fluctuations were the most turbulent.
