Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"It looks quite interesting."

Unable to resist his curiosity, Xiaobai released the evil god beneath his feet.

It ran up to a cluster of fireflies, let one stop on its nose, and then looked at it with cross-eyed eyes: "Hello, hello, I'm Xiaobai, what's your name?"

Unfortunately, although benevolent gods represent truth, goodness, and beauty, they have very low intelligence and are not much better than evil gods who can only chatter on and on.

They may not even have a name, and they may not even have self-awareness. They simply follow their instincts, coming with the wind and going with the wind.

However, what Gu Yun is more concerned about now is the light on the Hundred Demons Scroll.

"Another clue about a shikigami has been revealed?"

[Clues discovered regarding the new shikigami 'Yingcao']

Unlock condition: Find a grass-like plant and bestow upon it the blessing of a kind little deity.

"A blessing from a minor deity?"

The unlock condition for Yingcao is to find a grass-like plant, which is easy. As for the blessing of the little gods, Gu Yun looked at the little thing between his fingers and asked, "Little gods, could it be referring to these?"

Grandpa never saw a benevolent deity, but those who did usually refer to them as 'benevolent deities'.

However, the scroll refers to these little creatures as 'miniature gods'.

Upon closer examination, this title seems quite accurate.

Compared to the real gods, aren't these gods of good and evil just 'minor' deities?

"God's attributes are everywhere and all-powerful."

Gu Yun is omnipotent; this is beyond evaluation.

But he was certain that tiny gods of good and evil existed in almost every corner of the world.

From this perspective, they also somewhat align with the concept of God as 'God is omnipresent'.

"only…"

"How should I offer my blessings?"

Gu Yun didn't know how to get the little benevolent god to grant him a blessing. After thinking for a while, he asked the Zashiki-warashi to go to the courtyard and pick some ornamental grasses.

"Master, I've picked them back. Which one do you think is better?"

The Zashiki-warashi brought back many plants, including grass and flowers.

After some deliberation, Gu Yun finally settled on a dandelion: "This one will do. I remember Yingcao was holding a dandelion, I think."

The little deity that had landed on Gu Yun's fingertips earlier was also holding a dandelion.

I have to say, it's quite a coincidence.

"But how can we offer our blessings?"

This wasn't the first time Gu Yun had awakened a shikigami; the three-tailed fox and Shiro were already used to it.

"Say it directly?"

Gu Yun focused her attention on the tiny deity between her fingers, then said softly, "Little benevolent deity, could you please bestow some blessings upon this dandelion?"

"Om!!"

It seemed that Gu Yun's words were heard by the benevolent gods. Not only the little god between Gu Yun's fingers, but all the benevolent gods in the courtyard seemed to have received instructions, and they transformed into a long golden river, surging towards the dandelion in Gu Yun's hand.

"This is…"

Gu Yun released his grip, letting the dandelion float in mid-air.

The benevolent spirit danced, its golden glow like a ribbon, gently brushing against the dandelions, entrusting them with its blessings.

The light condensed and transformed into a golden cocoon.

Among them, a petite figure, curled up, slowly opened her eyes.

"here?"

"Where?"

Yingcao awoke from her deep sleep. She had no past, and her only memories were fragmented.

She remembers the ridges of the fields in the countryside, the pebbles under the stream, the birds flying through the woods, and the bees dancing in the sea of ​​flowers.

The only thing I can't remember is who I am or where I am.

"Yingcao?"

Who is Yingcao?

In her mind's eye, the girl heard someone calling her name. She had never heard the name 'Yingcao' before, but she subconsciously knew that the other person was calling her.

'Yingcao, is that calling me?'

My name is Yingcao.

The golden light dissipated, and the girl fell from the sky, landing in Gu Yun's arms: "Are you alright, Yingcao?"

Yingcao's vision gradually cleared, and she saw the person holding her, a boy who was even smaller than her, and who was also her owner.

Just as Gu Yun had expected.

Because they had access to more information, the content about shikigami in the scroll became more detailed.

"Race, Spiritual Rank, Spiritual Power".

Race aside, there's nothing particularly special about it.

Gu Yun could understand the concepts of spirit level and spiritual power.

A high spiritual level only indicates that you reside in a deeper part of the world.

What truly affects an individual's combat strength is the rating of their spiritual power, which is divided into five levels: weak, low, medium, strong, and extremely strong.

Gu Yun wasn't entirely clear on the specifics.

After all, he had never encountered a strong enough opponent to allow the shikigami to demonstrate their limits through battle.

"In addition, the number of layers here should refer to the dimensional level where the monsters reside."

Xiao Bai and the Three-Tailed Fox are beasts that have cultivated into spirits, so like ghosts and spirits, they exist in a second layer of space that is invisible to the naked eye.

Prajna is similar to them, belonging to the category of half-vengeful spirits and half-ghost monsters.

"The spirit of Zashiki-warashi, 'between the second and third layers,' does that mean between the second and third layers?"

The third layer is the space where the evil gods reside, and the fourth layer is the world of the benevolent gods.

"Zashiki-warashi have the ability to bring good luck to people, and conversely, to ward off bad luck."

The evil gods represent the misfortunes and calamities of the human world. The zashiki of the Gu Yun family may never have seen the evil gods, but she does have the power to enter that world and fight against them.

"Master, master?"

A soft, sweet voice rang out, and Yingcao moved closer to Gu Yun. Her timid appearance made Gu Yun instinctively blurt out, "So cute."

"Shh!"

"But, cute and all that, waah~~"
