Chapter 402: Founder of the Outer God Sect

Pfft!

Fresh blood shot into the sky, and the headless body remained stiff in place.

Yunque was splattered all over with blood, but his Little Universe began to weaken; having been impacted by the aftermath of the battle between Lingjie Ezhu Kageyama Shigeo and Saitama, he was nearly in a near-death state and had no idea what had happened.

It was only when the large hand that had been pinching his neck, nearly strangling him to death, lost its strength that he stumbled a few steps and landed on the other side, finally seeing what had occurred.

That Tao Baibai, his head had been blown off directly?!

He looked to the other side, where the massive black figure still maintained the posture of having reached out a hand toward Tao Baibai.

Without a doubt, Lingjie Ezhu Kageyama Shigeo had launched an attack on Tao Baibai!

But... why?

Yunque's mind was in chaos; before he could sort out his thoughts, a massive force struck him, throwing him directly outside the Spirit World.

Above Bai Cangshu's neck, disgusting granulation tissue pulsed continuously; due to the Tese of 【Intermediate Immortality】 and 【Perfect Individual】, he no longer had the concept of vital points.

The heart and the head were merely the two parts that could have the greatest impact on his bodily functions; losing his head would make him unable to think, and losing his heart would cause his body to lose blood supply, leading to a significant decline in function.

That was all.

This could not kill him completely.

In the pure white sea of consciousness, Bai Cangshu opened his eyes; because he had lost his head, his consciousness had returned here.

"Yo, it seems our host has encountered a powerful enemy once again."

Gojo Satoru teased Bai Cangshu, who sat high upon the 【Heart Throne】, overlooking the empty sea of consciousness below; the Yellow Springs surged, but those tens of thousands of ghosts had not yet fully returned, and at this moment, his sea of consciousness was very Empty...

Hum~

Suddenly, the sea of consciousness shook violently, and white light appeared from above the sea of consciousness; that light submerged everything in an instant.

This was the first time Gojo Satoru had seen such a thing in this space; it was even more special than that guy who called himself Roland back then.

Bai Cangshu sat upright on the 【Heart Throne】; he raised his head, and just by seeing the white light, he already had the answer in his heart.

The white light grew more intense, as if submerging everything; the next moment, a massive figure seemed to lower its head from outside the world, and a single, scarlet, giant eye stood above the sea of consciousness.

The thousands of Weak ghosts below immediately let out shrill screams, their forms collapsing and reforming in the Yellow Springs, repeating over and over.

"Heh, still putting on a show? It seems Lord Inari is in a good mood?"

【You have completed the mission: Divine Power】

【You have unlocked the special hidden faction: Outer God Deformed Dwelling】

【You have successfully guided an Outer God to descend into this world, gaining massive Reputation in the faction: Outer God Deformed Dwelling. Current: Reverence (34/100)】

【You have unlocked the Reputation exchange function for the faction: Outer God Deformed Dwelling】

The giant eye blinked twice, and then, a grand power echoed through the sea of consciousness along with a voice.

"You crave power."

"I can grant you... power."

The voice carried a hint of inexplicable meaning, just like the power mixed into that 【Cursed Seal: Inari's Strike】 that made one suffer inexplicable malice.

This guy, whom Bai Cangshu called "Lord Inari," was certainly not a purely benevolent god.

In many cultural systems, deities are usually two sides of the same coin, possessing both the image of a benevolent god and an evil god simultaneously, distinguishing between them and receiving sacrifices separately.

But in truth, the two are one.

Without waiting for Bai Cangshu's objection, intense Divine Power began to pour into this space.

Bai Cangshu did not stop it either; he just quietly overlooked the scene, a clear smile on his lips.

"Does the Outer God think they are already sitting securely?"

"It's just a pity that in this world, gods have never been supreme beings. Since you could revive from the Altar, aren't you curious why gods need to prepare such altars for resurrection?"

The pure white energy began to stop pouring in.

Tiny specks of white light condensed, and the next moment, a mature "fox woman" figure appeared, draped in white light gauze, with pinkish-white hair trailing below her waist and two ears peeking out from between her hair.

She was far more mature than the previous fox God's Envoy, and her whole body radiated a charming power.

But Bai Cangshu just clicked his tongue, showing no reaction.

"What do you want, human?"

This deity, who had successfully used a wisp of divine sense to have Bai Cangshu bring about Her descent into a world where mystery had almost dissipated, was indeed in a good mood.

She could forgive the small betrayal of this human leaving directly at the end of the ritual.

After all, the departure of that powerful human who had been competing with Her for Divine Power also had a causal link to the human before Her.

Bai Cangshu saw a phantom book unfold before his eyes.

This was the Reputation exchange manual for the so-called special hidden faction 【Outer God Deformed Dwelling】.

The flow of time in the sea of consciousness was vastly different from the outside world, so Bai Cangshu was not afraid that he would be killed directly by Kageyama Shigeo while he was here.

For one, he was indeed very hard to kill; Kageyama Shigeo's most convenient method was to seal him.

For another, and this was the most important reason: Saitama would not let Kageyama Shigeo kill him in front of him.

Saitama was a pure, classic hero; no matter how incompatible their temperaments or concepts were, as long as he was currently a human on the lawful, hero side, he would not die!

Bai Cangshu lowered his head and quickly browsed the exchange items; the items provided by 【Outer God Deformed Dwelling】 were indeed far beyond what those people from Shintoism could provide.

Bai Cangshu's mind was clear; his eyes darted as he quickly sorted out the current pros and cons.

Soon, he found one of the items and raised his head to look at this fox Outer God.

"I want this position of 【Founder】 to sit on for a while~"

——

Fate Eternal pulled casually, and the windows, walls, and building collapsed with a boom.

The Reincarnators who had just been arguing below, along with the ordinary people in the nearby blocks, fell silent in an instant.

He hadn't used much force; rather, he had known all along that this building's "lifespan" had reached its limit due to long-term exposure to wind and sand.

He chose this place because it was a fortuitous encounter, and now destroying this building is likewise following the natural course of things.

The title 【Fate Eternal】 can be called the most bizarre and mysterious among the titles of the strongest in the Spirit category; likewise, few are able to master it well.

At the very least, 【Fate Eternal】 knows that the previous 【Strongest】 who held this title did not do well, otherwise, how could they have been ambushed and killed by him in the Native World.

"His Excellency, Saitama, he really..."

The Tree Shepherd appeared from the ruins, and the strange blood within his Meridians burst directly out of his body, like energy tentacles, rapidly clearing the obstacles nearby.

The heroes running over from the distance were also casually pierced through by him.

But he still frowned; the name Saitama was truly too terrifying.

Fate Eternal only smiled, but the next moment, his smile slowly faded.

He felt the space trembling unstably; something seemed to be surging toward him from beneath the space.

Hum!

Hum!

Hum!

Blinding white light suddenly lit up one by one from the ruins...
