Chapter 618: Food Spirit World, Curtain Falls

"Madam Tsuchimiya, didn't you die before?"

Shen Gongji Shobu asked with a frown.

"No, I certainly did die, but I was resurrected through the joint efforts of this child Broly's master and teacher at his request."

Tsuchimiya Mai first answered Shen Gongji Shobu's words, then looked at her own weeping daughter: "Kagura, I'm sorry, Mother didn't keep her promise to come back before."

"Okaa-san~"

Tsuchimiya Kagura couldn't hold back any longer and lunged at her resurrected mother; Byakuei was hurriedly handed to Wiz at the side by Tsuchimiya Mai, which prevented this little white dog spirit beast from suffering Tsuchimiya Kagura's body-slam attack.

Tsuchimiya Mai stroked Tsuchimiya Kagura's head without speaking further, simply holding her daughter tightly with her body that now possessed warmth again, as if using this method to prove the fact that she was indeed a living person now.

"Madam Tsuchimiya, what exactly is going on?"

Isayama Naraku asked, as matters of the dead returning to life generally tend to get entangled with the demonic path.

"The matter is like this..."

Tsuchimiya Mai slowly recounted the ups-and-downs story of why she was resurrected, which she had heard from Broly's mouth.

The crowd who heard the story felt, besides a sense of absurdity, only the sensation of a roller coaster in their hearts.

It was like learning several pieces of good news while simultaneously learning several pieces of bad news.

Good news: The crisis brought by the Black Shadow Ninja Spirit was fake.

Bad news: Naraku in the depths of the Great Spirit Vein really was brewing a new world-destroying calamity.

Good news: The world-destroying calamity hadn't finished brewing before it was scattered by someone.

Bad news: The one who scattered it nearly destroyed this world once.

The aftershocks of the global earthquake from the night they charged into the Great Spirit Vein continued to tremble at this moment.

Only, this time what trembled was not the ground, but the hearts of the group of people who had learned the truth.

Good news: The boy suspected of being able to destroy the world is currently doing dogeza and apologizing to them.

In order to prevent Isayama Huangquan from suffering pressure from relatives, he manufactured powerful spirits to prepare to temper Isayama Huangquan.

In order to make Tsuchimiya Kagura happy, he night-raided the Tsuchimiya Family to seize Madam Tsuchimiya's corpse, intending to resurrect her.

Afterwards, hearing the Countermeasures Bureau's daydreamed story, he took the Bureau's story and fabricated a background setting.

And while listening to Tsuchimiya Mai's words, others asked about blind spots and Broly answered them one by one, making the whole matter clear; the people present had a feeling of being numb.

Of course, for Isayama Huangquan, she suddenly discovered that the things Broly had told her from the start were actually all true; she had merely daydreamed some this-and-that, said a single sentence of "want to be an ordinary child," and the other party took it seriously and listened, leading to the boy directly hiding his abilities in front of her.

As for Tsuchimiya Kagura, Broly went to resurrect her deceased mother for her sake; although there were some things mixed in that caused misunderstandings, none of that hindered her happiness value from rocketing upward like a rocket upon learning the truth and seeing her resurrected mother.

As for Isayama Meifu, she felt she had made a killing; the potential-stock boy she didn't dislike wasn't some potential stock, but an already-listed high-priced stock, which she had bought at a low price.

As for Jino Setsuna, upon discovering the person behind the White Shadow Ninja was Broly, her original gratitude toward the White Shadow Ninja all fell onto the boy.

"Although you concealed some things, I am still extremely grateful to you, Broly; it was you who let me and my younger sister break free from that quagmire of the Jubando."

Jino Setsuna, in front of everyone, boldly kissed the boy's right cheek; Jino Shizuru followed suit, said "thank you," and imitated her sister by kissing the boy's left cheek.

"Alright alright, stop taking advantage of my disciple; this goddess who came from the Heavenly Realm will personally give you a healing treatment, and we'll call it even!"

Aqua was a bit displeased, but since this pair of sisters also called her Master, she vented her temper on those other unrelated people.

Not waiting for the crowd to agree or not, she directly threw a Mass Heal into the crowd; then, the Countermeasures Bureau and the Demon Hunter Alliance — anyone with old injuries or chronic ailments — made the following actions.

"Ah, my eyes, it seems I can see!"

"Eh, the scar on my face actually disappeared."

"So itchy, my hand~"

Isayama Naraku covered his left arm stump and watched as, under the pale blue magic light, bone buds grew bit by bit at the severance of his arm, then flesh and blood tissue wrapped around it; after Aqua's healing divine art vanished, a fair and tender arm had grown back completely.

Hidden ailments, old injuries — one by one they were cured; even missing body parts were directly restored; such phenomena were undoubtedly divine miracles.

Those who originally still harbored doubts about Tsuchimiya Mai's resurrection no longer doubted, because a divine miracle had descended upon their own bodies; one by one their gazes toward Aqua were filled with reverence, and several even generated faith in Aqua.

"Aqua-sama, thank you for your grace, but please forgive this old man's rudeness; this old man wishes to consult about the matter of you purifying the evil souls in Naraku."

"Fine, you old geezer ask whatever you want; for the sake of Broly and Huangquan's face, I can answer you some questions."

Aqua waved her hand haphazardly.

"Then this old man shall ask..."

Isayama Naraku then asked the question of whether this world's crisis had already been resolved.

"It can only count as temporarily resolved; but if in the future the evil souls flowing into your world's Great Spirit Vein again exceed your world's Great Spirit Vein's purification speed, world-destroying crises like the Nine-Tails' revival will still appear."

Aqua spoke the truth; she had only relieved the Great Spirit Vein's blockage problem, but the root problem has not yet been completely solved.

Although this world's Great Spirit Vein land god is already working, this world is ultimately not quite the same as their world which has a Heavenly Realm; whether it can support the smooth operation of the entire reincarnation cycle system in the future still depends on the efforts of those land gods.

"Then Aqua-sama, may I ask, can we also contribute a modest effort in this Great Spirit Vein reincarnation cycle system?"

Having heard Aqua's description of rebuilding the reincarnation cycle platform, Isayama Naraku thought for a moment and asked.

"Eh, you also want to pass away early and go underground to do 007 work?"

Aqua looked at him with some surprise.

"Ah, no, I mean helping in the mortal world; after all, we Exorcists also have some ability to purify evil spirits."

"Oh, I get it, Human Agent Angel, right? Of course, by your terminology here, it should be called Proxy Shinigami or such titles."

Aqua nodded, acknowledging Isayama Naraku's idea; this world's Exorcists' purification power cannot compare to hers, but accumulating little by little is also good.

"Ah, Aqua-sama, please let us also contribute our share."

Shen Gongji Shobu suddenly spoke.

"Eh, there really are quite a lot of people in your world who want to be corporate slaves and workhorses?"

Aqua was a bit surprised, but still indicated no problem.

However, what Shen Gongji Shobu was thinking about was the matter of afterlife civil servants.

The Great Spirit Vein was reorganized once, changing from the previous unmanaged state into an existence similar to the Underworld.

In that case, death would no longer be the end of a person's life from now on; the destination of the soul after death is also a very important matter.

In the future, the general trend of this world's exorcism world may not lie in the mortal realm, but within the underground Great Spirit Vein, in the nascent afterlife world that this Heavenly Goddess helped organize and integrate before our eyes.

And right now is the period of power vacuum in the afterlife world; if one can build a good relationship with this Goddess-sama, perhaps after dying one could still go underground and become a judge or something.

Aqua welcomes to the utmost others wanting to come be her oxen and horses; conversely, Sanzu Kawahiro, who just established the Axis Cult branch in this world, keenly perceived the interests involved.

Upon learning of this, Sanzu Kawahiro came to remonstrate with Aqua, stating that those who want to be civil servants in the afterlife must at least be Axis Cult believers; to put it in one sentence: those who don't praise Aqua-sama are also fit to be 007 civil servants in the afterlife?

As for this suggestion, Aqua only felt Sanzu Kawahiro's words were reasonable: "You're truly a talent, do your best to make more people praise me~"

"Yes, Aqua-sama, I will definitely make everyone in this world, whether living or dead, praise your name!"

This elite boss from the original work, Sanzu Kawahiro, having achieved his wish to resurrect his mother and devoting himself to the Axis Cult, finally had a career he was willing to struggle for all his life.

This person indeed lived up to his words of being widely read; in the future, he wrote the trilogy "Genesis," "Divine Grace Theory," and "The Sun of the Afterlife" of Aqua-sama for this world's Axis Cult, laying a solid theoretical foundation for the Axis Cult to take root and grow vigorously in the Food Spirit World, eventually evolving into the largest sect in both the mortal realm and the afterlife.

Of course, these are all later stories; after Aqua threw a pile of troublesome matters to Sanzu Kawahiro and directly delegated authority to him, she happily stuck together with her own disciple, living the vacation life of a modern world Main God.

"Broly, are you really 14? Then wouldn't I have to call you older brother?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura was somewhat reluctant; after all, she had gotten used to calling Broly younger brother, but suddenly having to change to older brother made her a bit shy.

"14 years old, same age as me, but who is actually older, you or me?"

Isayama Huangquan was also very interested in the question of the boy's age.

"I don't know, but the effective time my body is determined to have experienced is 14 years, 9 months, 11 days."

Broly answered this question based on the information given by the Crystal Palace.

"Eh, then aren't I a few days younger than you?"

Isayama Huangquan calculated her own age and discovered she was actually younger than Broly.

"It doesn't matter; anyway, I've gotten used to calling you older sisters, continuing to call you that is fine too."

Broly didn't care about the address.

"How can that do? You're older than me, so I should call you older brother; Broly, Onii-chan~"

Isayama Huangquan approached, and after pressing against Broly's back from behind, she exhaled hot breath lightly by the boy's ear and spoke these words.

For some reason, upon hearing Isayama Huangquan softly say this, Broly also felt a sense of discomfort; his body trembled, and goosebumps rose.

Seeing this, Isayama Huangquan giggled; looking at the boy's earlobe right before her eyes, she took the earlobe into her mouth and bit it lightly with her teeth.

Rubbing cheeks intimately, she teased this little older brother who was previously the younger brother, until Broly's earlobe became somewhat wet, then she released it and pulled away.

"I cannot stay in this world forever; after the stay duration of arriving in this world passes, I must leave this world."

Two days after the showdown, Broly explained his situation to Isayama Naraku.

"Although I can still return, I am obviously not suitable to be the future Isayama Family Head."

Regarding this situation, Isayama Naraku expressed understanding, but on the matter of who would be the future Isayama Family Head, the other party asked the boy a question: "Broly, will you have children with Meifu in the future?"

"Yes."

"Then, the children you two have in the future can just be the next Isayama Family Head."

As for Isayama Naraku's choice, neither Isayama Huangquan nor Isayama Meifu had objections; increased strength gave them confidence, letting this pair of cousins without blood relation no longer obsess over the position of future Isayama Family Head.

Isayama Meifu even joked that if Isayama Huangquan gives birth to a boy earlier in the future, that child could just be the Family Head.

And on the night the topic of having children ended, Broly had his pants taken off in the room; Isayama Meifu and the others stared as they surrounded him, researching why Broli's Child wouldn't rise.

"Because Broly is still a child; the Saiyan race is like this — before development time arrives, they maintain a child form state for a very long time."

Aqua explained with hands on hips, looking like she knew her disciple's body inside out.

Honestly, a group of people surrounding him to research his younger brother — it's only because Broly is used to being watched by his wives and touched by his wives; if it were someone else, they might have been left with psychological trauma.

Also worth mentioning separately: after Isayama Meifu, Jino Setsuna and the others were invited by Broly to join the Crystal Palace a step ahead, upon discovering the number of Crystal Palace members in the group chat room, they complained to Broly a bit.

"You said before you'd have many wives; I thought only us few would come, but turns out there are this many?"

"53 wives; although it can't compare to ancient emperors' harems, it's still far more than the number of wives men in some countries allowing polygamy marry."

"Uh, strictly speaking, it's 51, because two inside don't count as wives but as my friends."

"Even 51 is quite a lot; feels like in the future wanting to have children with you, we might all have to queue up~"

Isayama Meifu worried about the efficiency of having children with the boy in the future; Broly didn't know how to answer — there are quite a few wives in the Crystal Palace with strong willingness to have children with him; he could only guarantee to prioritize as much as possible in the future.

Right at this time, Yunyun sent a private message, also demanding a similar guarantee from him.

After Broly gave the guarantee, he looked at Wiz.

The Lich lady looked somewhat guilty toward the other side.

Judging from the reaction, it should be that she told Yunyun the situation here.

One leads to two; soon Megumin and Roli also sent private messages, all talking about this matter.

"I'm still a child; isn't it too early to talk about this now? How about waiting until I grow up?"

Finally, Broly used this sentence to end this topic.

The Food Spirit World journey only announced its end after consuming Time-Space Energy to extend the stay duration by three months.

On the last day, Broly invited Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura to join the Crystal Palace; ultimately the two brought Broly 40,000+ and 60,000+ Happiness Points respectively.

As for Isayama Meifu and the Jino Setsuna sisters, because they belong to the External Wife category, when they became wives and Broly was about to leave this world, the three's Happiness Points added together didn't even exceed two thousand.

As for Aqua and Wiz, they left after staying in the Food Spirit World for two months; Aqua's vacation ended, and Wiz actually wanted to stay in this modern world a bit longer, but was dragged away by the mentally unbalanced Aqua.

Before leaving, the two of them each took some local specialties — Aqua took a pile of fine wine offered by others, while Wiz took a Killing Stone plus a pile of modern goods, including but not limited to clothes, cosmetics, bags, and gifts for others.

As for who footed the bill, it was a group of people who hadn't helped much but afterward intended to hold Broly accountable — actually coveting the power to revive Tsuchimiya Mai — certain people from the Exorcism World.

Of course, after Broly used his fists to properly reason with this group, the bruised and battered bunch sincerely expressed their apologies.

They covered all of a certain Lich lady's expenses in this world; how should I put it — with Wiz's spending power, that was truly a price painful enough to make anyone wince.

The Black and White Dual Ninja were left behind by Broly; before departing, Broly infused his own summoned creatures with plenty of Qi.

And their mission left in this world is to become the Guardian Knights of the Axis Cult's branch in the Food Spirit World.

With the stat boost brought by Qi, the two Black and White Dual Ninja's strength is not inferior to immortals like the Great Tengu.

Food Spirit World, curtain falls!
