"No, you don't have to be like this, Lord Shang Yang," the two sisters heard Shang Yang's words, Wen Ju bowed slightly to Shang Yang first, "Although it is because of the orders of you and Lord Jue, but it is also because of this that my sister and I have had these four hundred years of peaceful life, but my sister and I should thank you and Lord Jue." ”

"Eh, is that so~" Hearing this, he exhaled lightly with relief, and said with a light smile, "Since you think so, it's great, I've been worried that you're not used to it." ”

"You're too worried, Lord Jue," Wen Che also bowed slightly to Jue and explained softly, "My sister is right, it is precisely because you and Lord Shang Yang allowed your concubine and sister to stay in the Earth Spirit Hall and Hot Spring Village, so we have not been involved in the various disputes that have occurred in this land for four hundred years. ”

"You two have also reported these things to us once through the causal link of Guò Xana," Shang Yang put down his chopsticks when he heard Wen Che's last words, and he had already noticed this matter, "So, sure enough, ......"

"Yes, Lord Shang Yang, the possibilities you have stated are becoming a reality step by step," Wen Ju said in a calm and soft voice, also unsurprisingly picking up Shang Yang's words, "Buddhist culture and the native Shinto culture of this country have been thoroughly integrated, and the fear and belief of mortals have given rise to a large number of youkai like me, who were born directly from 'rumors' or 'legends', and in the five hundred years since the mortals moved their Kyoto to Heiankyo, such youkai have snowballed. ”

"At the same time, as you speculated, human habits and behavior patterns are becoming more and more obvious in the youkai race, and the youkai who should have no fixed place are increasingly beginning to have the concept of 'territory', and the powerful youkai no longer simply come to gather the youkai who are willing to follow him for the Hyakki Night Walk, but like humans, they have begun to form a master-slave relationship with the Yokai, taking the Yokai who follow them as their 'retainers', and turning the Hyakki Night Walk they lead into a specific force."

"Youkai of the same origin and species form a 'clan', and the yokai who lead the entire clan are called the leader of the clan, and the nocturnal force of the hundred ghosts composed of different yokai is called the 'group', and the yokai who rule this 'group' are called the 'general general'."

Speaking of this, Wen Ju cautiously glanced at Shang Yang, who did not have any change in expression, sighed softly, and continued.

"The title of the lord of the local youkai, which was originally just an honorific title, has begun to have a definite meaning, representing a yokai's unquestionable domination over a certain area, and at the same time, the 'Great Yokai' represents a realm for you, Satoru-sama, and those of us who have survived for nearly a thousand years. And for the many yokai born after the mortals moved the capital to Heiankyo, the 'Great Yokai' represents a youkai general who dominates the nocturnal forces of the hundred ghosts and has great prestige. It is also unclear when this erroneous perception was formed. ”

"'Big Monster' has become a simple title......" He also put down his chopsticks, nodded thoughtfully, and said softly without much surprise, "It's not surprising, after all, four hundred years have passed, and it's normal for some cognitions to have this kind of deviation, by the way, what happened to the vague description of the powerful monsters that you reported to us not long ago?" ”

Hearing Jue's question, Wen Ju and Wen Che glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and then Wen Ju explained softly.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Satoru, it's my sister's responsibility and I to do it, in fact, the powerful youkai who have made a name for themselves in these five hundred years are all walking a ...... For us 'Ancient Yokai', the road seems to be extremely urgent......"

"When the demonic power reaches the critical point of the monster level, a large number of monsters do not continue to accumulate and polish their demonic power or their own abilities, but choose to completely integrate their relatively weak abilities into the demonic power and shape them into their unique demonic power."

Hearing this, Kajue, Xana, Ai, and Kaguya, who were already familiar with the power composition of the monsters, were stunned at the same time, and subconsciously spoke in unison.

"It's a mess ......"

However, Shang Yang, who also heard these words, deliberately prolonged his voice with great interest, and said unhurriedly.

"Oh...... Indeed, the ability can be temporarily expressed in the form of demonic power, and when the ability is weak, temporarily attaching the ability to the demonic power can indeed make the demonic power have a part of the nature of the ability, in fact, many monsters do this when they are weak.

"But in the final analysis, ability and demonic power are two absolutely different things, demonic power is the unique power of youkai, and ability is in a larger range, including gods, monsters, and other inhuman aliens to understand the world laws of this world and the desire to manifest the 'supernatural power'."

Speaking of this, the easy-going big youkai narrowed his eyes slightly, rarely showed an expression of great interest, and continued.

"Integrate the ability into the demon power, the demon power will have the characteristics of ability, if the ability is integrated when the demon power is close to the big monster level, it will indeed get a few abilities comparable to the big demon level, and at the same time have the ability characteristics of the demon power, and relatively, the ability will be permanently lost because of this, and the subsequent development will become extremely troublesome."

"I can guess the reason for such an urgent pursuit of power, it is nothing more than because the enhanced version of Buddhism I promoted began to give birth to a large number of monsters before the Heian era of human beings, so that the principle of the law of the jungle has been implemented more thoroughly, but relatively, since there is a huge base, it is not strange that there are monsters with a long-term vision in these four hundred years, who can adhere to the principle of ability and be promoted to the realm of the great demon, Wen Ju, in the past four hundred years, has there not been such a character?"

"You're right," Wen Ju replied calmly, "Even if such a figure appears, it's not something to be surprised about, but, Lord Shang Yang, the truth itself is not just that. ”

"It is indeed a fact that the law of the supremacy of strength has been implemented one step further, but the main reason that has prompted all the 'modern monsters' to choose the path of integrating their abilities into demon power in the past four hundred years is that for them, the way of promotion will not work at all."

"After the eastward expansion of Buddhism, the strength of the 'modern monsters' more or less relied on the power of 'fear', which is the reason why the promotion of the monsters is not working."

After Wen Ju said this sentence calmly, everyone also showed understanding. It couldn't be clearer, fear is only derived from the power of human faith, for the realm of big monsters, fear is a useless thing at all, and similarly, if you want to achieve the big demon level, you must not rely on the slightest foreign object.

I'm afraid it's not that the 'modern monsters' who don't have a long-term vision choose the way to be promoted, but that these monsters who choose to be promoted either have their strength lost to a very low point forever and choose to live in seclusion, or they are eaten up and their consciousness disappears.

PS: Well, in this book, Gensokyo and Inuyasha World Power System have been merged~ Please don't admire our brain replenishment ability~ (laughs.)

Hawkers, that's probably what happened~ In fact, if you go to Dongdu, Shang Yang still hides a conspiracy, and this conspiracy has something to do with today's content~ But this conspiracy is just a bureau laid out by Shang Yang before the big demon, and for him now, it is a useless bureau~
