Chapter 223: People are scarier than ghosts (make up for yesterday)
After learning the truth, Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly figured out many things about himself.
No wonder his system hasn't given him any rewards recently.
After the battle at Kammubi Bridge, his death ending was clearly updated, but the system did not give him any new rewards.
Now that I think about it, the world's will behind the system probably doesn't want me to continue spending too much energy on the path of being a ninja.
Shiba Qinghe then asked Wuliang: "So do you know how people in this world gained power before the Six Paths Sage founded the Ninja Sect?"
Wuliang replied, "It is magic. People in the past relied on magic to gain power."
Shiba Qinghe thought to himself, as expected, it was just as he had guessed.
The reason why immortal arts use natural energy is not chakra.
Another reason is that it is difficult to get started with the art of immortality and it involves huge risks.
In the original work, whether it is the magic of Myoboku Mountain or the magic of Ryuchi Cave, there is a risk of death if you don't practice it well.
This was probably also the original intention of the Six Paths Sage to establish the Ninja Sect.
It was indeed a well-intentioned attempt - a sharing by the Six Paths Sage thousands of years ago provided many people who originally had no chance of learning immortal arts with a new way to gain power.
But everything has a price.
The decline of power in the entire world is visible to the naked eye, and there are too many problems left over from ancient times that no one can deal with even now.
For example, monsters, the legendary Box of Paradise, the Samsara Eye on the moon, and even Black Zetsu.
When the Six Paths Sage was still alive, he could scare Black Zetsu so much that he didn't dare to show up for decades.
But after his death, no one in the ninja world has been able to counter the Mayfly Technique until now.
Even if it was Shiba Kiyokawa, although he had the ability to make Black Zetsu cry for his parents, he couldn't kill Black Zetsu.
From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with Wuliang's starting point.
It's a pity that he lacks some brains. For thousands of years, he has not accomplished anything useful except making fun of generation after generation of witches.
Thinking of this, Shiba Qinghe raised his head and stared at the excited black smoke in the air.
“Since you already know that the will of the world, or the mother you mentioned, chose me, then you should just listen to me from now on.
By the way, do you have any method to practice immortal arts?"
Wuliang was a little confused by him for a moment and refuted subconsciously.
"Why should I listen to you?"
And I just said that you have the mark of your mother, why did it suddenly become that your mother chose you?
Wuliang vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
It is obvious that he cannot understand what it means to strike the snake while it is still under attack.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa is well aware of this and knows that when you are away from home, your identity can be given by yourself.
"Right now, I am the embodiment of the world's will! I am the savior who is destined to save this world!"
It doesn't matter whether he is really the savior.
Anyway, I say that I am, and no one in this consciousness space can stand up and refute me, right?
The smoke that frightened the monsters shook.
Then Shiba Qinghe gave a decisive blow, "In addition, I can help you convince the miko outside, otherwise she will continue to do everything she can to die with you, and you will still be unable to do anything."
Wuliang wanted to be tough, "I have unlimited time, even if I am sealed this time..."
But Shiba Qinghe directly pointed it out, "Without me here, you won't be able to convince any miko with your brain even if you come countless times. This fact has been proven for thousands of years, right?"
"..."
The ghost was stabbed in the heart so hard that the color of the mist faded for a moment, but he just couldn't refute it.
So not long after, Shiba Kiyokawa, who had successfully reached a cooperation, slowly opened his eyes in the real world.
The witch who had been waiting on the side was immediately ready for battle, and cast a shocked and vigilant look.
"You... who are you now? Are you Wuliang or Shiba Kiyokawa?"
Shiba Kiyokawa calmly raised his hand, letting the black smoke of the ghost float in his palm. "I am Shiba Kiyokawa, the ghost is here, and he has been subdued by me, Your Excellency the Miko."
After saying this, he immediately withdrew his hand and sealed the monster back into place.
What follows is not suitable for the ghost to hear.
At this time, the contemporary priestess of the Demon Kingdom was completely shocked to the point of being speechless, with her pupils dilated to the limit.
"You...you can actually subdue the ghosts? How is this possible?"
Shiba Qinghe smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I was born extraordinary.
Wuliang just said in his consciousness that the first generation of witches had predicted this scene when they sealed him, saying that a thousand years later someone would come to the Land of Ghosts and completely end this fate. "
Not long ago, Shiba Qinghe had just fooled the ghost by using the conditions of persuading the shrine maiden. As soon as he left the consciousness space, he fabricated the ghost's testimony to fool the shrine maiden.
The main focus is an information gap.
"The first generation of miko made such a prophecy? How come I didn't know about it?"
The contemporary witch looked at him doubtfully.
But Shiba Kiyokawa had a confident look in his eyes and responded calmly.
“Of course, it’s just possible that a lot of information has been lost in the process of thousands of years of inheritance, so you don’t know.
Wuliang has lived for a thousand years, so it’s normal for him to know more than you.”
This reason leaves modern witches with no angle to refute it.
What's more, the tone and expression of Shiba Kiyokawa in front of him were so confident that there was no sign of guilt at all.
Especially afterwards, Shiba Kiyokawa took the initiative to tell him the secrets that he should not have known.
"The abilities inherited by the witches of the Demon Country should essentially be derived from immortal arts, right?"
Now the witch had no more doubts.
"Yes," she replied, "So our abilities are completely different from those of ninjas."
Shiba Qinghe nodded, and then said, "Although the crisis has been temporarily resolved, we still have a lot of areas for cooperation with the Demon Country in the future. I also hope that Your Excellency the Miko will open your inheritance to us for borrowing next time."
This was a very unreasonable request, but at this moment Shiba Kiyokawa said it calmly.
For a moment, the witch didn't know how to refuse.
More importantly, at this moment she seemed to feel Shiba Kiyokawa's determination that was so firm that it was almost unshakable!
He originally had the ambition to change the world. Now after learning the truth from Wuliang, Shiba Qinghe's determination will only become stronger!
He would not learn from that fool Wuliang and blindly and foolishly challenge the entire ninja world.
But he won't stop.
Because this time, he is really saving the world for a blue and beautiful tomorrow!
Similarly, to achieve this goal, he still needs a little help from the Ghost Kingdom.
The shrine maiden was still struggling over whether or not to open the inheritance to outsiders for viewing, but the next moment she heard Shiba Kiyokawa approaching and speaking slowly.
"Mister Miko, although you survived this time, the scourge of the demons was finally quelled with the help of our Akatsuki, right?"
"Yes... So, Chief Shiba, what exactly do you want to say?"
"I just want to ask, does the promise made by the witch still count?"
"Are you referring to the things I'll entrust you with after I die? But I'm not dead yet."
"It's not a difficult thing. We can help you if you need it."
At this moment, Shiba Qinghe was smiling with curved eyebrows, and he spoke the coldest words in the gentlest tone.
"It's not easy to live, but isn't it easy to die?"
As they were talking, Nagato and Konan moved in perfect coordination, forming a triangle with Shiba Kiyokawa, surrounding the shrine maiden in the middle.
At this moment, the contemporary witch finally realized with a stiff expression: Sometimes people are much scarier than ghosts!
This chapter makes up for yesterday's, and will be updated as usual in the evening
I had a fever yesterday, and I didn’t send out my leave application because the illustrations violated the rules. I feel a little awkward…
