We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 47: Clown or Mastermind? The Ancient and Mysterious Being, Tianyuan!

The Holy City, within Gensokyo.

Lu Ping sat alone, digesting the memories of Lu Suo that he had just acquired, a thoughtful expression on his face.

To be honest, Lu Suo's willingness to let him peek into his memories was something he hadn't expected.

This ancient monster, who has lived for a thousand years, possesses extremely rare memories and experiences. His barrier techniques and methods for creating cursed corpses alone are enough for Lu Ping to study and digest for a while.

but.

Compared to things like spell techniques and barrier theories, Lu Ping was more concerned with the various "people" he had met in Lu Suo's thousand-year memories.

There's no need to elaborate on Su Nuo.

This strongest curse master of the Heian period possessed curse power, physical strength, and combat awareness that surpassed all other curse masters.

Regardless of the performance of the technique, in terms of "numerical value" alone, modern-day special-grade masters such as Gojo Satoru and Otsuku Yuta are not as good as Sukuna. Only the Tiger Emperor in the sequel to the original work, 68 years later, can be compared with Sukuna at his peak.

Besides Sukuna, many other powerful figures have emerged, such as the strongest sorcerer in Heian who fought against Sukuna a thousand years ago, and Shiki Ichi, the strongest sorcerer four hundred years ago, and so on.

However, in Lu Suo's view, all these sorcerers, including Su Nuo, combined were not as important as one person—

Tian Yuan.

As early as the Nara period (approximately 710-794), the name Tengen had already resounded throughout the world of sorcery.

She single-handedly created a barrier covering all of Japan, concentrating all the cursed spirits in the world in Japan, leaving almost no cursed power outside of Japan.

In Lu Suo's view, this was an absolutely incredible innovation.

It was even more exaggerated than the "Great Era of Spells" pioneered by Lu Ping.

How did she do it?

Creating a barrier that covers all of Japan isn't difficult; even Lu Su could do it.

To gather the magical power of the entire world and gain the consent of all the sorcerers in other parts of the world at that time was something that not just anyone could do.

In that era, which was even earlier than "Heian," an era before even the birth of Tsuru, it was a completely blank period in the history of sorcery.

What exactly did Tengen do?

Therefore, for the next thousand years, Lu Suo pursued and studied Tianyuan like a madman.

All his actions were for the sake of Tianyuan, to merge all of humanity with Tianyuan and become an immortal and eternal being.

"Judging from Lu Suo's memories, Tianyuan's prestige is incredibly high, as mysterious as the mastermind behind the world."

"But I've read the original work. In the original work, Tengen was just like a roadside creature, directly swallowed by Rōsō. He was also confirmed to be dead in the sequel... It doesn't fit the character setting of a mastermind at all."

"What exactly happened? There are too many plot holes in the original story, and I really can't find any clues."

Lu Ping frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, but he had no more information.

Many plot holes in the world of Curse Return were not filled in the original work.

What is the realm of the soul? What is reincarnation? What is the higher life form that Tengen is trying to evolve into? What was the world of sorcery in Japan like before it was shrouded in a barrier?

Everything was a mystery, shrouded in mist, and even the sequel offered no explanation.

However, one thing is certain.

Tengen, who lived longer than Lu Suo and was able to concentrate all the world's magical power in Japan, must have a deeper secret that has not yet been uncovered!

……

The Palace of Death.

Tianyuan floats in a pure white void within the Hongxing Palace. Its soul is omnipresent, capable of perceiving and creating everything.

He opened his finger-sized eyes, and countless images immediately appeared before his eyes.

In some scenes, the cursed spirits are slaughtering humans, only to be stopped by the passing Holy Spirit Hanamichi.

In some scenes, the curse master is plotting a scheme, only to be instantly killed by Gojo Satoru's casual ultimate move.

Other scenes depict holy sorcerers building enormous machines, aiming to create world-changing inventions.

"wrong."

"No, no, no, no, no, no."

Tianyuan's voice suddenly became somewhat agitated, and his body seemed to be entangled by something, as he kept repeating the same words.

"This can't be, this shouldn't be happening, if this continues, everything will be for nothing..."

Its expression was one of utter panic, its voice trembled slightly, and deep within its eyes lay a trace of fear.

Why is Tengen afraid?

Even though in the original story, when Tianyuan was killed and devoured by Lu Suo, he didn't show much panic.

Even in its final moments, it still confined the black hole created by the ninety-nine yogis within a certain range, preventing it from becoming a crisis that would destroy the world.

But this time...

It was terrified after witnessing the emergence of many sorcerers awakened in the Great Age of Spells, especially the holy sorcerers.

"There shouldn't be any sorcerers like this. All the positive energy should have been absorbed by me. Only a few people who can use the 'Reversal Spell' can occasionally use a little bit of it. How could so many of them appear in the world?"

Tengen's eyes turned white as his barrier technique, which covered Japan, continued to search for the "real person" who created everything.

It would never allow its efforts of more than 1,300 years to be wasted.

"Even killing me would be much better than this."

"After all, only by achieving 'that' can I... only then..."

Tianyuan's voice stopped here.

Its four pairs of eyes were all open, staring intently at the entity that appeared in three different places simultaneously on the screen. The expression on its face suddenly twisted, and the corners of its mouth curled up in an unprecedentedly sinister arc.

"Found you...

"A demon that steals positive energy, a real person!"

……

In the mountains near Tokyo.

Lu Suo returned to reality from the "Paradise," stretched lazily, and showed a satisfied expression on his face.

I'm so happy!

I haven't felt this exhilarated in a long time. That guy called "Real Person" really put on quite a show.

"If this continues, perhaps he can actually create something even more hilarious than 'Tianyuan Fusion of All Humanity'."

"only……"

Lu Suo narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind racing with memories, his thoughts returning to the day he first met Tian Yuan.

Back then, Tengen was a cool and aloof girl with flowing long hair, dressed as a shrine maiden.

She is a loner and holds a supreme position in the world of sorcery. Only a very few qualified individuals are qualified to meet her and speak with her.

Lu Suo could not forget the first words that the girl Tianyuan said to him, even a thousand years later.

she says.

"Do you want eternal life?"
