Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 34: Leaving No Threat Behind


The Netherworld is not a place to linger.

Staying too long in the Underworld can slowly turn the living into the dead, so all the survivors must be sent back to the Mortal World. The witch, known as Shenle, directly escorted the gravely injured Abe no Seimei back. Su Ziyu was not entirely sure what Abe no Seimei's final maneuver was, but it seemed like he had leveraged his entire cultivation to manipulate the Dragon Vein of Fusang. Now, if Abe no Seimei can retain thirty percent of his power, that would already be quite an achievement.

"Thank you all for helping me quell the chaos in the Netherworld."

"When your life in the Mortal World comes to an end, you may come to my Netherworld to take up a position. Those who perished in battle today are now Soul Guides of the Netherworld."

Yama's voice echoed in everyone's minds.

As she finished speaking, wisps of spirits drifted from the corpses of the fallen Yin Yang Masters all around. They turned into a cluster of ghostly flames gathering in Yama's hands. Since these people had just died and hadn't yet formed a ghost body full of yin energy, it would take some time before they could become Ghost Messengers. Yama's words undoubtedly lifted the spirits of many Yin Yang Masters. Unlike cultivators of Central Earth, Fusang's Yin Yang Masters weren't so detached. Their lifespans were only slightly longer than ordinary people, and entering the Netherworld to work in the future was considered a satisfactory final destination.

The task of purifying the source of pollution was completed.

However, the main storyline of this world is still not over, as Su Ziyu's main task is — "Restore the Realm of Yin and Yang and reshape the Path of Reincarnation."

As a Space-Time Inspector, he not only needed to eliminate the source of pollution but also to restore the Law and Order of this world.

But at the moment, all of this requires the assistance of Yama's power.

In the Ghost Capital, there were still numerous spatial rifts, though with the sealing of Orochi, there wouldn't be as many pollution bodies appearing. Yet, souls could still wander off to the Mortal World.

"Meet me at the Netherworld at midnight tomorrow." Yama's voice penetrated Su Ziyu's mind.

Su Ziyu turned to look at Yama, only to find that she had already entered a dark vortex gate, leaving only the Blue Lantern Demon nodding slightly in acknowledgment from a distance.

There was minimal communication between Yama and Su Ziyu from beginning to end, so why would she want him to return at midnight after sending away Abe no Seimei?

"This matters are settled. I shall leave." The Guhuo Bird arrived quickly and left just as fast, disappearing into the vast night sky shortly after Abe no Seimei was sent away.

This Great Demon acted entirely on her own whims, showing indifference to everyone else.

"Lord Su," the Nurarihyon still carried his ever-smiling demeanor, resembling an old man who blends with everyone. He touched his bald head and chuckled, "Since the Netherworld has been reclaimed, I should head back too."

After speaking, he glanced at Qing Ji, secretly sending a message: "Qing Ji has transformed into a Snake Immortal, but her sisters still possess demonic auras."

"It would be best if Lord Su keeps an eye on them, to prevent any accidental troubles."

With these words, the sly Nurarihyon vanished on the spot.

The invisibility escape technique of the Nurarihyon is indeed formidable. This Great Demon could easily rank among the top five in all of Fusang.

The entire Ghost Capital was in chaos, with most of the Imperial Palace reduced to ruins. Su Ziyu scanned the area but did not see Ashiya Doman. This old-timer had been skirting along when dealing with Orochi and now was nowhere to be found. Surprisingly, the young Military General who had been with Abe no Seimei was still alive, albeit missing his right arm. This fellow had quite the luck.

Over seventy percent of those who ventured into the Netherworld tonight perished. The survivors were either incredibly powerful or exceptionally clever and quick-witted.

"Husband?" Qing Ji timidly followed behind Su Ziyu, a bit apprehensive.

Su Ziyu turned to glance at her, then swept his gaze over the six Snake Princess sisters trailing behind her, feeling slightly anxious internally but maintaining a calm exterior, "What's the matter?"

"Can my sisters stay with us for now?" Qing Ji asked, somewhat embarrassed, "They've just awakened and don't remember the past. It'll take more time before they recover their consciousness."

The six Snake Princesses did indeed look a bit dazed, merely mimicking Qing Ji's actions without uttering a single word of their own.

"Sure," Su Ziyu thought for a moment, "Let's return to the Mortal World first."

"Otherwise, the Ghost Gate will close."

With another visit to the Netherworld required tomorrow at midnight, it would be best to settle Qing Ji and her sisters first. Su Ziyu could only hope that having six more sisters would keep Qing Ji from clinging to him as much as before.

The night passed quickly.

Upon Abe no Seimei's return to the Mortal World, he immediately visited the Imperial Palace, while Su Ziyu temporarily settled Qing Ji and her six sisters in his own residence. These six Snake Princesses were indeed as innocent as children, and once they left the Underworld, they began learning to speak with Qing Ji and Su Ziyu. They picked it up quickly, displaying notable intelligence within just one night.

The translation of '奇稻田姬' directly is — the Divine Rice Field Goddess.

They are descendants of the Fusang Mountain God, yet now they have all turned into demons. Fortunately, they aren't as initially violent as Qing Ji was, who would burn people at the slightest provocation.
