Kungo was in tremendous pain.

He felt as if his body was being dissolved by the hottest magma which slowly drew away parts of himself. His consciousness became hazy, feeling like a candle fire being buffeted by the wind. He felt as if his light would go out at any moment.

He wanted to shout or scream out loudly, but was unable to make a sound.

The darkness of death surrounded him. The extreme heat brought along the deepest coldness.

No I cant die

I need to live I must live

Kungo used his strong will to support his own existence. He tolerated, withstood, and prayed

Master Please wake up Wake up

Kungo had no idea how much time passed. He no longer possessed a concrete sensation of the passage of time.

The loyal samurai used everything he had to resist. However, death still irresistibly approached him.

He was being consumed; he was decreasing in existence until the very limit. If he reached the limit, his existence would end.

But right before he reached his limit, he heard a sigh from somewhere.

Silly child

He cant take it for any longer, Yomi told Seiji in the middle of the spell.

Seiji furrowed his eyebrows deeply while looking at the spell formation before him.

Sayaka Tendos remnant soul hadnt responded.

It would seem that the spell had failed Kungo had sacrificed so much of himself for nothing.

But just as Seiji was thinking this, the purple soul orb in the spell formation suddenly flashed!

There was a reaction after all!? Seiji instantly widened his eyes in surprise.

He then heard a faint female voice saying, Stop hurry and stop

Stop the spell!

Seiji immediately stopped the spell that used part of Kungo to revitalize Sayakas soul. Yomi then assisted him with the fine details, protecting Kungos life.

This wasnt easy. Seiji constantly sweated as he worked on the spell.

The former dark red humanoid spiritual figure was now a chaotic and hazy ball of black light. It seemed as if Kungo was about to completely collapse from existence! Seiji did his very best to help maintain and resculpt Kungos form. Seiji felt as if he was slowly pulling out someone who had sunk deep into a quagmire. This was incredibly heavy and difficult.

Kungo, shes awake! Your master has woken up! Youve succeeded! Now, its your turn! Dont die! Seiji couldnt help but shout out.

Someone who sacrificed so much deserved to get something in return.

Even though Kungo couldnt really be called one of Seijis companions, Seiji still truly hoped that Kungos courageous sacrifice would result in a good ending.

Live, loyal warrior!

As if Seijis will had been transmitted successfully, the black light stopped collapsing, and slowly reformed itself.

At this time, the purple soul orb was also slowly changing, forming a hazy purple humanoid figure with two swirls where the eyes should be. These eye swirls shone with a deep black light.

Mas ter Kungos dark red figure spoke weakly. He was now significantly smaller than before, going from the size of adult to child.

Silly child The purple figure reached out her hand, and gently caressed the dark red figures head. Why would you do such a thing

Kungo didnt say anything else. It was evident that he had used up all of his strength as he weakly collapsed on the ground.

Truly a miracle. Yomi sighed. He still didnt fade from existence despite all this I can only describe it as a miracle.

Seiji felt the same way. Kungos current condition seemed just like a human who had still managed to survive despite losing half of his body. It was Kungos incomparably powerful will to survive that had created such a miracle!

Although he had collapsed due to a lack of energy, it wasnt so serious anymore. He would recover as time passed.

What was important right now was

Sayaka Tendo-san is that right? Seiji asked the purple figure.

Only after the purple figure confirmed that Kungo was alright did she glance at the Yin Yang Master before her.

What do you want? she spoke quite bluntly.

I need information, Seiji replied. Your experiences while you were alive and about the white dragon and the spiritual ability Awakening experiment. I need to know everything that you know!

The purple figure, who was indeed Sayaka Tendo, fell silent for a moment before responding,Why do you need to know such things? Who are you?

I am Seiji Haruta, a member of the Haruta Family whos currently in exile. Seiji paused for a moment. I suppose you could still treat me as a member of the Haruta Family. And, I need to know all this because of the current situation

Seiji then summarized the current situation to Sayaka.

After Sayaka listened to his story, her first question was to ask what year it currently was. She seemed to sigh after hearing the answer.

Ten years have passed already that plan actually continued for so long?

After her sigh, she fell silent once again.

Seiji was about to try and convince her to cooperate when his system suddenly sent him a notification that many people had entered his Spirit House. Seiji couldnt help but pause in surprise.

Seiji! a voice soon called out from behind him.

Mika and the others had arrived.

Every single member of his group had arrived.

An incident happened outside! Mika swiftly explained things to Seiji.

Everyone had suddenly heard a tremendous bestial roar that shook the entire city. They then saw a bright red light expanding everywhere in the sky, with countless red lights falling down which brought a deep chill

Seijis expression became grim after he heard this.

Catastrophe had come upon the city yet again!

Soul Society had been unable to stop this just like in the previous timeline!

Damn it all

Seiji gritted his teeth in anger. He really wanted to vent, but that wouldnt help the situation at all!

He had done so many things, but it still hadnt been enough.

Damn it! Goddamned Soul Society! Theyre so useless!!!

Seiji also thought of Yui, and really wanted to curse at her. But, he forcefully restrained himself.

He knew that he needed to calm down and that anger was useless.

Soul Society and Yui had probably tried their very best.

It was just that the Tendo Family had been even stronger.

The Tendo Family was one of the seven major Yin Yang Master families, after all. Even if Soul Society detected their scheme, it would be difficult to stop them.

But at least not everything had been useless in this timeline. Seiji had learned that the Tendo Family was behind everything. Also

After Seiji calmed down, he looked at Sayaka Tendo again.

Tendo-san, you also heard what happened outside. A catastrophe is currently happening and threatening the lives of millions of people in the city. I beg of you, please tell me everything that you know! Your information might be the key to saving everyone.

Something flashed in Sayakas eyes as she faced him.

Okay But, I have a condition. You must guarantee my and Kungos safety.

I promise! Seiji directly agreed. I and my companions shall definitely not harm you.

After receiving this promise, Sayaka began to tell her story.

Ten years ago, Shinzen Tendo, a member of the Tendo Family, attempted to steal the Yasakani no Magatama artifact that the Tendo Family was in charge of protecting at the time. His attempt was discovered.

After Shinzen was captured by his own family, he announced that he had tampered with the Yasakani no Magatama using a certain spell already. This spell was capable of destroying the mystical artifact at any moment. Shinzen also proved that he was capable of doing this.

The reason he did this was for his personal and the familys evolution.

If the Tendo Family refused to assist him, then he would destroy the artifact and commit suicide!

After an emergency family discussion, the Tendo Familys higher-ups were convinced by Shinzen, and chose to protect him, covering up this incident as a failed attempt to steal the Yasakani no Magatama. The Tendo Family also ended up assisting with Shinzens plan.

This plan was known as the Susanoo plan. It originated from a mysterious person whose true identity was unknown. He called himself the Abbey Master. The Tendo Family was unable to find out who the Abbey Master really was. However, the spiritual techniques that the Abbey Master taught to Shinzen Tendo were real and highly valuable.

After the Susanoo plan was carried out for some time, Sayaka Tendo was chosen to be in charge of the first large-scale experiment due to her outstanding talent. However, something went wrong with the experiment. A giant white dragon was summoned, and everyone participating in the experiment ended up perishing!

Even I dont know what exactly went wrong with the experiment. But, my personal feeling is that perhaps its because of the Tendo Familys sins, Sayaka told Seiji.
