Chapter 685: Reincarnation, Supreme Deity, Six Realms (1.20)

Uhh... whatever, the concentration's over limit, no more uhhing.

Over there, young man, have you ever thought about getting transported to Gensokyo?

Without phones, computers, games, or air conditioning.

Whether you're taken in by the Hakurei Shrine maiden, used as a blood bag by the Red Masquerade Mansion, or teaching human logic, even if you don't start with these bland, ordinary human Gensokyo beginnings, slowly building affection with 2D girls—

If all else fails, throw in some conspiracy theories or dark, deep, and cruel backdrops—get persecuted, then slaughter the girls in a bloody frenzy.

"Even you, Your Majesty, cannot turn Gensokyo into a harem land—give up after taking over Eternity Pavilion."

"."

Cases like this—Kaguya happily reading her own manga—are probably signs that Gensokyo's entry method has gone wrong.

Su Lin didn't answer, only stared at the manga in the other's hands.

Why does the male lead in this manga have a face? Even if he has a face, why is it my face? Though my specialty is hypnosis and psychological therapy, plus time stop, this still makes no sense.

"Your Majesty, even if you stare at me like that, I won't lose control of my youki and turn into a little girl needing male essence~"

Kaguya Shiki lifted the erotic manga, as if shielding her face in embarrassment, and said:

"But Orange is too young, isn't she unsuitable?"

"As for Ran, if you like her, you must still follow propriety and take her as a concubine."

Beyond saving.

The Gensokyo before my eyes seems to have entered a weird timeline—the Hakurei Shrine has become the Liuli Shrine.

"Shiki, any more grilled meat? Another bowl!"

The only one with normal art style left is the pink-haired ghost still eating—gulping down the absolute delicacy. Wrong, Yuyuko.

There's Shi Hao in the group, a spiky hair at home, and now Yuyuko of the Westward Temple in Gensokyo.

If these three formed a bond and appeared in the same place—

Oh god.

No matter what sins Emiya Shirou committed in his past life, Su Lin felt this unlucky bastard had nearly paid it all off.

"Please spare Yuyuko," Kaguya Shiki said, pulling out utensils bearing the Ye Zhetian Corporation's coffin logo from a gap, her voice trembling and melancholy:

"As for Reimu, since serving the gods is part of a shrine maiden's duties, if it's for Gensokyo, I too—"

"Shiki, you are an old woman," Su Lin's face twisted in distaste; he tilted his chin up and asked: "You invited me to your home, now that I've arrived, you let your hair hang loose and feign shyness—why?"

"What did you say?" Kaguya Shiki blinked.

Su Lin said: "Why does this old woman pretend to be a maiden?"

"." Kaguya Shiki raised the manga to fully cover her face: "No."

"No?" Su Lin asked.

Shiki said: "For shrine weddings—no."

"Troublesome," Su Lin looked as if enduring intense inner conflict.

"Even if you use this as leverage, the most I can give you is a title without substance."

Su Lin sat cross-legged on the cushion and said reluctantly: "Besides, I truly dislike older women."

"Now it's suddenly me chasing you…"

Kaguya Shiki, as if implying something, smiled: "Though I've never seen it with my own eyes, when did the sovereign of the High Heavens become like this?"

As Yuyuko's eating bar progressed, the obstacles blocking their view vanished.

Kaguya Shiki, with golden hair reaching her waist, wearing a white lace-trimmed Western hat, a large red ribbon bow tied in front, smiled warmly at Su Lin.

She wore a white long-sleeved gown with many layered ruffles at the hem, red ribbons tied at her upper arms, draped over her chest a purple Eastern-style Daoist robe adorned with red yin symbols and the black hexagram of Dui above Kun, with a purple-and-orange taiji diagram.

The shrine maiden using Daoist arts and Kaguya, who calls herself Taiyin, were already abstract enough.

A golden-haired, pale-skinned youkai using a Japanese name yet frequently wearing Eastern Daoist robes—given this world's chaotic mythological origins, it's explainable.

Why didn't I notice this before?

Probably because I was focused entirely on her face.

"Yuyuko, are you full?" Kaguya Shiki gently wiped the corner of Yuyuko's mouth with a handkerchief.

"Maybe it's just too delicious—I feel like I've only eaten half full…" Yuyuko sighed: "I've never tasted anything so good—can I eat this again?"

"I wish I could eat this every day."

The girl with pink short hair and blue kimono licked her finger hungrily.

If this were a story of Emiya Shirou transported to Gensokyo, his landing spot has been found—just go straight to Bai Yu Tower and apply for burial.

I just wonder whether cooking at Bai Yu Tower or forging artifacts at Ye Zhetian Corporation is more exhausting.

"You are…?" Yuyuko only now noticed Su Lin sitting across from her—she'd been too busy eating to pay attention:

"I think I know you—you're Su Lin, the one Kaguya likes but who likes Momiji, right?"

"But why does Yumemi warn me to be careful of you?"

Who said nobody in Gensokyo believes tabloids?

Su Lin smiled warmly: "Do you like yakitori? Next time I hunt on Zhishan, I'll get you roasted crow made by the Immortal Chef—you just ate his food."

"Yes!" Yuyuko's eyes instantly sparkled.

Found a way to dispose of the body.

"By the way, some otherworlders who came to Gensokyo call me 'Mama Shiki' or 'Old Granny Shiki,' but I don't really care about age," Kaguya Shiki slipped in: "Besides, your age may not be younger than mine."

"I just turned eighteen," Su Lin said: "And how old are you, madam?"

"Your appearance clearly says you're eternally seventeen," Kaguya Shiki said, dropping her smile:

"Take my jokes lightly, but what I said before—I was serious."

"To be honest, your sudden arrival in Gensokyo is already troublesome enough, but since Eternity Pavilion stands as guarantee, and you might one day become a son-in-law of Eternity Pavilion and join Gensokyo—"

If we adjust slightly based on the current number, the Fantasy Realm can still accommodate them, but holding a wedding at the shrine and inviting large numbers of outsiders from the "outside world" is absolutely out of the question.

For the safety of the Fantasy Realm, I am willing to offend all of you.

The phrasing was not subtle—it amounted to a direct declaration of stance.

But that's strange.

This small matter involves no conflict of interest; even bringing thousands or tens of thousands of people could be confined within the boundaries of the Hakkai Shrine, and if needed, the space could simply be expanded.

Considering Kaguya's earlier probing, she may be using our status or the chat group's uniqueness to obstruct her alterations to certain "histories" and "truths."

It's likely that Yūkai Shizu wants this group to finish their business and leave the Fantasy Realm as soon as possible.

"Is this related to the Reincarnators from the Main God Space the other day, and other Fantasy Realm issues?" Su Lin asked.

"One of them," Yūkai Shizu said, narrowing her eyes slightly before opening her folding fan with a smile:

"The situation is complicated. If too many people carrying outside-world information enter the Fantasy Realm and cannot later be corrected, this secluded paradise will eventually become riddled with holes—beyond repair."

"Therefore, I urge you all not to cause too much commotion. After all, I've ceased aiding other Fantasy Realms during this period."

"You seem to have come for medical treatment—and plan to stay in the Fantasy Realm for a long time?"

It matched the guess: an excess of outsiders might bring certain security risks, and moreover, the alterations to truth that Kaguya mentioned—Yūkai Shizu tampering with reality—had not occurred.

"Outside-world information?"

Indeed, Su Lin's treatment here showed no visible effect in the short term.

Long-term residence in the Fantasy Realm would interfere with Yūkai Shizu's ability to erase the historical record of "outsiders" visiting the realm; her refusal of their request to hold a grand wedding at the Hakkai Shrine, citing safety, was perfectly understandable.

Yūyūshi, lost in thought, was gazing at Sandy. After glancing at Hearing Song Shu, Yūkai Shizu regarded Su Lin with a polite smile.

"Under normal circumstances, when the host says this, I naturally wouldn't insist—but a friend's wedding should still be lively," Su Lin tapped lightly on the low table with his right hand:

"I've filmed a TV series for years—it's reached its small finale and family-reunion ending. With too few extras, it just feels like something's missing."

"Here's an idea."

He clapped his hands.

"We'll handle eliminating or expelling outsiders who appear in other Fantasy Realms. Once those positions are freed up, it'll be more than enough."

Happy positions are limited; to benefit the majority, the few must be sacrificed—just like every righteous companion inevitably faces the trolley problem or the lifeboat dilemma.

"That's quite decisive," Yūkai Shizu said, slightly startled, then added:

"I appreciate your intent, but it's like how Reincarnators always appear in certain Fantasy Realms—it's a root problem. Thus, the Fantasy Realm does not welcome outsiders."

"Please return, Mr. Su Lin."

"It's for the sake of the Fantasy Realm."

These words carried double meanings.

It seemed their goodwill was actually negative—after all, if Su Lin and the others hadn't come, everything remained under Yūkai Shizu's control.

Yūkai Shizu closed her folding fan. Yūyūshi rose. A gap leading to the Baiyu Tower opened slowly, like a zipper unfastening. The two stepped forward, one after the other, to leave.

"Blue, see our guests out," Yūkai Shizu said.

The frosted glass sliding door within the frame opened. Yūkai Blue bowed respectfully: "Please follow me."

"Then, if we just solve the source of the Reincarnators, that's enough, right?"

As Yūkai Shizu turned back in shock, Su Lin propped his chin on his hand and repeated: "If we ensure no Reincarnators appear in any Fantasy Realm, would that be enough to vacate the Hakkai Shrine?"

He pulled out a cross and gently tossed it to her.

"You may begin making your wish."

"One wish."

"One condition."

【Live stream by group member Su Lin has ended】

"So the next step is the mobilization meeting for the plan to go to war with the Main God Space."

Outside the Hakkai Shrine, Su Lin sketched on a whiteboard with a fox-tail pen: "What suggestions do you have?"

"Please, next time you stream, drop your idol persona—what's this 'one wish, one condition' nonsense?" Lu Mingfei groaned, clutching his head.

"Come on, if it's really impossible, let's just pick another place another day—no need to insist on this one."

He'd merely been reminded of his trip with Hui Liyi when she ran away from home—back then, there was a Meiji Shrine—so he'd thought of switching shrines.

But he truly didn't want to burden this group of friends.

Not to mention the opponent might be the real Main God Space.

Why bother?

"Or we could just hold a simple ceremony," Weigong Shilang added.

"Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow how many?" Su Lin interlaced his fingers beneath his nose, his glasses glinting:

"When exactly is your 'next time'? If there are too few people, how can I watch the bloody drama… how can I witness your happiness?"

No way—he's serious?!

Normally, Su Lin acted a bit absurd—but whenever his peculiar hobby kicks in, what he says is almost always true.

In this regard, Su Lin only plays for real.

"I'm deeply moved—and I don't doubt your ability!" Lu Mingfei quickly interrupted: "But forget whether you're injured—you'd still pay a heavy price even if you were perfectly healthy."

"Bro, it's really not necessary."

"Who said I'd do it myself?" Su Lin glanced at Lu Mingfei. "Do you think I'm stupid enough to go after the Main God Space myself?"

"Then how?" Lu Mingfei immediately thought of special items in Su Lin's bag of tricks.

Click.

Ke Lan lowered the two Main God Space Reincarnators hanging above the Divine State's Source Altar, transferring them to the material plane. Their entire bodies were wrapped in a higher-dimensional blindness and folly, utterly devoid of self-awareness.

"It seems I've returned just in time," Meng Qi said, riding his green ox back.

"The first time I saw 'Tai Shang Riding the Ox,' I returned the way I came," Su Lin said.

Meng Qi's one-day tour of the Heavenly Realm wasn't over, but it felt like a retirement resort for elderly cadres—activities were dull and nothing worth seeing.

"I'll take this girl," Meng Qi grabbed the Reincarnator Sally. "Teacher Yan Sen, I'm counting on you to accompany me in searching for the Six Realms."

Teacher Yan Sen nodded with a smile, and the three vanished instantly from the Fantasy Land.

Su Lin pulled out a wristwatch from the Reincarnation Space and placed it before the Chief Reincarnator of the Main God's Team, amid the others' startled glances:

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly... live?"

"Yes or no?"

Kleine snapped his fingers, and the team captain, like a puppet on strings, began mechanically repeating: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"You chose this yourself—I didn't force you," Su Lin said warmly as he slipped the watch onto the other, empty hand of the man. "Welcome to the Reincarnation Space."

【Binding successful: Welcome to the 'Main God Space Resident Reincarnation Space Investigator Team'】

【Reincarnator: Arijì, beginning return.】

"I'll be right back," Su Lin said casually, vanishing with Arijì.

Lu Mingfei widened his eyes—he suddenly understood what Su Lin and Meng Qi intended to do.

Kleine, idly mixing a drink beside them, said:

"Once you learn another enterprise of the same type exists, fierce competition is inevitable—mergers, suppression, acquisitions."

"You might even see rivers of blood as these spaces crush each other across countless realms."

"I suggest you exit early. What do you think?"

Star: "I suggest renaming it 'Shut Up.'"
