Onmyoji of the Grand Line

Page 120

Snapped!

Snapped!

Seimei and Suzuka Gozen walked on the deck and gradually reached the edge. Looking at the Ryugu Kingdom before them, they both stopped and quietly observed everything before them, falling into a state of silence.

"Hehehe~~~"

Seimei held a folding fan and slowly tapped his palm, smiling as he said, "Indeed! I feel a lot of changes. Those memories haven't affected me. I am still me. But! It's undeniable that it's like experiencing it all over again. That feeling is truly dreamlike and wonderful."

"Um?!"

Suzuka Gozen frowned slightly and said very seriously, "Seimei, are you alright? If there's anything wrong, it's best to get it dealt with a bit, given your condition..."

Clearly, in Suzuka Gozen's eyes, Seimei's condition seemed to be problematic. Indeed! This is undeniable. When a person's memory suddenly returns, even someone who has lost their memory for ten or eight years will be in a state of confusion because the two sets of memories cannot overlap. This is even more true for Seimei, who now has four sets of memories superimposed.

but!

Seimei looked at Suzuka Gozen and smiled, saying, "Suzuka, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. It's just a strange feeling. Such changes are not unusual as memories return. It's the same for everyone. The issue of memories has always been the most mysterious. Who can guarantee that they can perfectly control their own memories?"

"Really are……"

Suzuka Gozen looked at Seimei and shook her head, saying, "It's clear that you seem unaffected, but in reality, you have been influenced to some extent. That maturity of mind... Seimei, you've become completely different now!"

Seimei smiled and said, "People always grow, especially after experiencing so much. It would be the strangest thing if they didn't grow! However, it's undeniable that with the passage of time, isn't this kind of growth a joyful thing?"

"Hehehe~~~"

Suzuka Gozen smiled and said, "Indeed! Such joy is something that anyone would feel."

A smile appeared on their lips, and the two exchanged a glance, their smiles becoming increasingly warm. Seimei stepped forward, revealing his familiar and magnificent hunting robe. Wearing long boots, the blue and white hunting robe was exceptionally beautiful, and the folding fan in his hand emitted a beautiful light that gradually changed. His long, white hair fell freely, and he wore no hat, simply dressed in this serene manner.

It seems exactly the same as before, yet it also seems different. Even though Seimei is gradually recovering his past memories, he is only suppressing them and has not been completely controlled by them. If he were controlled by his memories, then Seimei would no longer be Seimei.

brush!

The folding fan slowly unfolded, and Seimei, with a smile on his face, said very calmly, "Everything has changed dramatically in the past, but now, aren't all those changes unfolding before our eyes? This beautiful picture! It makes one involuntarily immersed in it, doesn't it?"

"..."

Suzuka Gozen looked at Seimei's elegance and composure, and shook her head with a smile. He really had changed a lot. The Seimei of the past was full of gentleness, and the current Seimei was the same. The gentleness was something he had never changed, but that composure and elegance could not be brought about by chance. It was something that was gradually born with the accumulation of time.

This is the change that occurred after Seimei absorbed the memories that once belonged to him. Is this change a bad thing? No! This is not a bad thing. Suzuka Gozen and Orochi are the best shikigami who experienced everything completely and did not die at all.

Actually!

Yaodao-hime, Shiro, Yingcao, and so on! The reason they remember nothing is very simple: they died. Their deaths proved that they had lost all their memories. The only reason they recovered was because Seimei helped them recover. That is the most fundamental reason. And what else? They lost everything they once had, or rather, they lost their most fundamental memories.

They only retained the memories that should have been recorded, but gradually lost most of them. Perhaps these memories will be gradually recovered over time! And this memory is their memory.

As Seimei's white fox bloodline continues to grow, their memories will gradually return, and these memories are the most fundamental and essential part of their being.

The once bustling and bizarre Heian-kyo, with its parade of a hundred demons, has vanished, replaced by a completely new world. So, the question arises: what changes have occurred in this new world? The answer is self-evident: everything has changed.

Seimei brought everyone here, and this would be a brand new beginning. Perhaps this world was just as powerful, or perhaps it was just as dangerous, but no matter what, since they had come here, they would not back down! At this point, Seimei understood many things: his arrival, his origins, the reason for his transmigration—he truly understood everything.

Chapter 138: Drawing cards! That's the most exciting part!

Seimei and Suzuka Gozen talked for a long time, and as they chatted, Suzuka Gozen could clearly feel that Seimei had really changed a lot. That change was not just a change in his words, but a change in his mindset. If the Seimei of the past was more of a mature and steady young man...

just now!

Seimei, on the other hand, is a person who has experienced everything, a perfect person who is gentle, elegant, and noble. His personality has matured and become very stable, a huge change from his former self. Is this change good or bad? Actually, it is impossible to say for sure! But one thing is certain: Seimei is indeed growing and gradually becoming more perfect.

As the bloodline continues to grow, Seimei will mature even further. At that time, everything will be completely different. When everything is restored, and his heart and everything else are at peace and perfect, that will be the true Seimei.

That great Onmyoji, Seimei!!!

creak!

Seimei returned to his room and sat down on the sofa. Yaodao-hime was already in the room. Upon seeing Seimei's return, she respectfully greeted him, "Lord Seimei!"

Seimei said gently, "Yoto-hime, what's wrong? Aren't you going to rest yet?"

After a brief silence, Yaodao-hime shook her head and said, "Lord Seimei! I want to know if I have forgotten something. In my memory, it seems that I have forgotten something, yet it also seems that I have not forgotten anything. It is a strange feeling."

Seimei said gently, "Yoto-hime, some things can't be understood by outsiders. No matter who says anything, it's meaningless. You need to figure it out for yourself. What exactly are you lacking? Perhaps! When you truly understand all of this, you can regain the power you've lost. Is that power you're afraid of? No! You're just afraid of being a tool in this life. But now you are an independent person. You are Yoto-hime, my Yoto-hime! Isn't that right?!"

Listening quietly to Lord Seimei's gentle voice and words, Yaodao-hime fell into complete silence. Her entire demeanor seemed to change as she silently watched Lord Seimei.

a long time!

The Demon Blade Princess smiled and knelt respectfully on the carpet in the samurai-style posture, saying humbly, "Lord Seimei! I will personally see what all of this means! Perhaps, as you said, everything is simply destiny."

Seimei's smile was very deep. Yes! Just as Yaodaoji said, everything was just destiny. And Yaodaoji, it is most important to truly understand all of this. Her heart belongs to herself. Only she can truly understand what she lacks. Everyone is like this. No matter how many words outsiders say, they are actually meaningless. Only when you truly see through everything can you break through.

and!

With the return of her memories, Seimei understood very well that what Yaodaoji lacked was not confidence, but rather... She couldn't imagine what she would be like if she continued to be used as a weapon. This was the root of Yaodaoji's silence; she didn't want to continue being used as a tool. And the truth was, Seimei had never treated Yaodaoji as a tool.

"Go!"

"Get a good rest. After a night, you'll gradually understand everything."

"Yes!"

Yaodao-hime bowed respectfully and gradually left. There were still some things she was very confused about, but as time went by, she would eventually understand. Seimei knew that Yaodao-hime had gradually come to understand why she was in this situation. However, there were some things she wouldn't accept so easily. This feeling was like being in a comfort zone; it wasn't so easy to step out of it.

"Ugh!"

Seimei watched the departing Yaodao-hime, gently shaking his head and saying, "If it were possible, it wouldn't be a bad thing if you both lost your memories forever, knew nothing, and started a completely new life. What a pity..."

Gently shaking his head, Seimei knew that this was almost impossible; there was no such gentle outcome! As his own memories awakened, their memories would gradually awaken as well. Every shikigami would be the same; their missing memories would reappear, and at that time, naturally, everything would become completely different.

"never mind!"

"Next..."

After a moment's thought, Seimei decided to stick to his plan and continue drawing cards! Even though he had regained many of his memories, Seimei's smile remained very bright. Drawing cards was indeed the most joyful thing.

"let's start!"

Seimei murmured to himself, while controlling a large amount of spiritual power with greater ease. Although he had only inherited memories, he had also inherited higher-level control over talismans, incantations, and so on. Seimei had now also improved.

hum~~~

hum~~~

Strands of energy flowed out, and in an instant, Seimei performed a ten-pull. As the ten-pull ended, Seimei calmly shook his head and said, "As expected! This is indeed a very suitable way for me to draw cards. I'm really having terrible luck! Perhaps it's because my dark side has perfectly merged together. Right now, I'm indeed having very bad luck."

Seimei smiled and shook his head, not caring at all. 1000 Oni soldiers were a very simple lottery draw! To put it bluntly, it was ten consecutive black draws, but for Seimei now, it didn't have much of an impact. He even smiled and joked to himself, not because he had become rich and powerful, but because his mindset had changed completely. He used to need power! Although he still needed power now, his mindset had changed.

actually!

Everything has changed. Seimei now possesses 400 Devil Fruits. Apart from the 100 Devil Fruits he kept for himself, he has 270 Devil Fruits left out of the remaining 300. Seimei has no intention of stopping and continues to draw cards.

10 pulls!

20 pulls!

30 pulls!

40 pulls!

50 pulls!

Without any hesitation, Seimei unleashed a torrent of energy, completing a full 60 draws in a short period of time, demonstrating that he was maintaining his usual high level of skill.

very dark!

But it's not completely black yet...

"Lamp-carrying monk, red tongue, tomb robber kid, parasitic soul, broom god, Tubi..."

"Ok!"

Looking at the cards of shikigami floating before him, Seimei pondered for a moment, "All the N-rank shikigami have been drawn, and the remaining 800 Sea Kingdom Sirens have also been drawn. Besides that..."

Looking at his haul, Seimei saw six N-rank cards, 800 Sea Kingdom Sirens, and other shikigami. After all, even if Seimei was incredibly unlucky, even if he had a particularly bad run of luck, he couldn't possibly be this unlucky.

Of course!

For Seimei, even N-rank shikigami were irrelevant. Each shikigami had its own story, and he was simply gathering these children together one by one.

The Great Onmyoji Seimei! Perhaps, to many people, this Great Onmyoji is even a heretical figure. He actually drinks with the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) in his own Onmyo-ryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang), which is something that many people simply cannot understand.

For almost all Onmyoji, this is something they simply cannot accept. You must understand! Such behavior makes them think that this great Onmyoji is associating with monsters.

And that's precisely why! This treatment truly changed the great Onmyoji's attitude. His mindset had completely changed. Since that's the case, then let's give it a try: wielding power in the human world by day and leading a hundred demons in a nighttime parade.

As time went by, for various reasons, his inner soul gradually split into good and evil. Of course, all of this was in the past. For the current Seimei, having experienced three lifetimes, he has indeed gone through a lot and he doesn't disregard any shikigami.

Just as I said at the beginning, these shikigami are like children. To me, they are just a group of well-behaved children. Naturally, there is no need to say more.

……

"Um?!"

Just then, Suzuka Gozen suddenly opened her eyes in the room, her gaze sharp as she said, "What is this aura? No! No! This aura is..."

Suzuka Gozen immediately leaped to her feet, her eyes filled with joy. This aura was that of Ōtakemaru! There was absolutely no mistake; this was Ōtakemaru's aura, and Suzuka Gozen could not possibly be wrong.

joke!
