Chapter 88: Savior Xia Youjie (First 3K Update)
Li De's eyes were gloomy, as if he had lost all vitality.
His dead eyes made the long-haired man in the Xuan Se cassock curl his lips.
"Cherish that desire of yours to destroy everything in the world, that...is the power of your revenge."
At this moment, Li De radiated a hatred that was almost visible to the naked eye. That twisted, angry, unwilling, unfair, and all other negative emotions were intertwined, mixed with self-blame and self-destructive emotions. In the eyes of [Xia Youjie], this was the best catalyst.
A catalyst that could turn a useless monkey into a rare weapon.
Xia Youjie jumped down from the giant bird-shaped Cursed Spirit, and Li De was also shaken off by the Cursed Spirit.
Xia Youjie brought this monkey who had successfully escaped from the Dead City, Tokyo, to Kyoto, or rather—the last refuge of Japan's Savior.
"Li De, welcome to the Savior's Hall—the Kyoto Headquarters of the Star Cult."
Xia Youjie waved his hand, and several sorcerers wearing white cloaks walked out. The one in the lead had long, shoulder-length hair, and dark circles so heavy they were almost impossible to cover with makeup.
"Shoko, help him with his injuries. I have a premonition that this monkey will be very useful."
Li De numbly followed [Ieiri Shoko] into the shrine built on the mountaintop.
Ieiri Shoko put a cigarette back in her mouth and skillfully used [Reverse Cursed Technique]. By reversing the Cursed Energy, which is essentially strong negative energy, she turned it into powerful positive energy for healing. Li De's collapsed chest and abdomen quickly began to recover, and the half of his face that had been cut off also grew back.
But physical injuries can heal, what about the ones in the heart?
What appeared in his mind at this moment was still the scene of Li Chang desperately hugging the Hannya-masked swordsman and being cut in half by the sharp blade, and then in the deep underground passage, An Xiu, with blood flowing from her nose and mouth, still forcefully activating her ability to teleport herself through that impossible narrow passage.
He could only watch as An Xiu was pierced through the throat by a javelin.
So weak, I'm so weak...
So hateful, I'm so hateful!
Li De suddenly roared and pounded the ground forcefully. With each blow, the ground vibrated violently, with such force it was like an earthquake.
But this kind of power was completely insufficient. He had been lucky enough to meet teammates he could entrust his life and death to, and they had already agreed to support each other until the end.
The three of them were neither greedy nor evil, and even occasionally provided help to the Reincarnators they met to the best of their ability.
But why did Li Chang and An Xiu have to die?
Why did he have to survive?
Such questions were like a black snake, completely tying up Li De. The snake coiled around his neck, making him unable to breathe.
"Hate."
Shoko's voice was flat and emotionless. Li De subconsciously looked up. Shoko looked at him and repeated.
"If you want revenge, then hate."
"Even if you die, even if you turn into a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, you must take revenge."
"I haven't seen that kind of resolve from you yet."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head again to simply treat Li De's injuries, then turned around and opened the door. As she was about to step out, she paused and said,
"Did you see that thing?"
Li De had no intention of interacting with the story characters at this moment and did not react.
Seeing his reaction, Ieiri Shoko gave a self-mocking smile.
"If they really saw what Gojo looks like now, none of these guys would probably survive."
Shoko left the room, passing a group of sorcerers. She went through a large hall where there were many important figures who were once considered the pillars of order in this country.
Yes, once...
Everything changed since that day when someone used the slaughter of thirty-three thousand people in Tokyo as a prelude, and then detonated an incredibly huge barrier. Gojo Satoru went to repel the enemy, but ultimately perished within the barrier.
Subsequently, the boundary between the Yin and Yang forces in Tokyo was broken, and a large number of Cursed Spirits began to appear throughout Tokyo. The power balance between Cursed Spirits and sorcerers was completely shattered.
The sorcerer community, which should have grown stronger as the power of Cursed Spirits increased, and the next Six Eyes sorcerer, who should have been born after the death of the Six Eyes sorcerer, all strangely remained unchanged.
The balance of the world was broken. In Tokyo, where Gojo Satoru perished, a terrifying curse began to spread, and a phenomenon that might have been called a [Spiritual Disaster] in the Heian Era began to appear.
The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons became a reality.
The sorcery world collapsed with the instant demise of the Zenin clan, and a large number of living forces were killed or even annihilated.
No one could have known that at such a time, the one who ultimately stepped forward to break the barrier from the outside and rescue these sorcerers from the sorcery world was...
It was actually Xia Youjie, who had become the founder of the Star Cult, committed treason, and claimed to want to slaughter all ordinary people.
Xia Youjie, who was once called the strongest alongside Gojo Satoru, in his capacity as the founder of the Star Cult, rescued the high-level officials of the surface world, including the Prime Minister, and allowed the high-level officials of the sorcery world to suffer huge losses.
Ultimately, the Star Cult became the so-called Savior Cult of today.
This was not Xia Youjie boasting, this was the affirmation of the Prime Minister of Japan.
Ieiri Shoko had a self-mocking smile.
Gojo Satoru, who should have been like an arbiter, breaking the balance between Cursed Spirits and sorcerers alone, giving sorcerers an overwhelming advantage, is now tragically dead, and at his death site, the most terrifying curse in history is born. Perhaps soon, he will awaken as the [Curse Spirit King].
Subsequently, he will completely destroy the resistance forces of humans and sorcerers.
"Mr. President, please approve the nuclear bombing plan."
"Yes, we have confirmed that there are no living forces left in Tokyo."
"Nuclear bombing is our most effective plan to end this disaster!"
The Prime Minister of Japan was sincerely asking the President of America to launch a nuclear bomb on Tokyo.
This scene made the mocking smile on Ieiri Shoko's face even wider.
She came to the innermost room, where Xia Youjie was.
"You know the nuclear bombing is useless, yet you let them mess around like this?"
Shoko's tone was not like a dissuade, but more like she no longer cared about anything.
Xia Youjie looked at Li De, who was following behind Ieiri Shoko. The latter was deeply immersed in negative emotions. This was a useful material.
"Nuclear bombing is only useless against Cursed Spirits, but it can awaken the fear in the souls of the tens of millions of monkeys still alive in this country."
"And that kind of fear is very useful."
Xia Youjie had a smile on his lips.
Read without errors at 1619shuba!
"After all, if I want to fight an enemy like Gojo, I wouldn't have much confidence without the Cursed Spirits fostered by that level of fear to command."
"Gojo Satoru is the strongest."
Xia Youjie pointed one finger to the sky and one finger to the ground, imitating the posture of Gojo Satoru in his memory.
But soon, the smile on his lips faded.
He was not Gojo Satoru after all. He could not understand or cultivate such intense emotions. That confidence and arrogance that constantly emanated from his bones were perhaps the true reason why Gojo Satoru could be 'Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one'.
For a sorcerer, rationality is not a good thing. The intense emotions that are born from the bones and cannot be suppressed by rationality are the best aptitude for a sorcerer.

[You have triggered the Hidden Faction Quest: Trial of the Millennium Sorcerer]
[Quest Description: To be with the Millennium Sorcerer, mastering Cursed Energy is a must. Survive Kenjaku's trial and master Cursed Energy]
[Success Reward: Obtain the special energy system: Cursed Energy]
[Failure Penalty: Faction reputation drops to negative, incurring Kenjaku's hostility]
Bai Cangshu walked out of Yuji Itadori's house. The sun was already in the center of the sky. Yuji Itadori had cooked lunch and enthusiastically invited Bai Cangshu to eat with him.
But Bai Cangshu only glanced at this poor boy, shook his head, and walked out of the yard.
Yuji Itadori was Kenjaku's biggest trump card at the moment. If he said anything unnecessary, he might be assassinated by this Millennium Sorcerer.
From Kenjaku's words, Bai Cangshu generally understood the changes and developments in this world, combined with the Reincarnator mentioned in the world description.
It was probably at some point in time after Xia Youjie's defection but before the start of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, a group of Reincarnators descended into this world due to a mission.
The addition of the Reincarnators affected Xia Youjie's faction, the sorcerer high-level faction, the Tokyo Jujutsu High faction, etc. It should have been a chaotic team battle script.
But that Reincarnator with the code DM66616387, using an unknown special ability, cursed and killed thirty-three thousand Tokyo citizens, thereby casting a special barrier that broke the balance of power between the Yin and Yang realms.
Subsequently, the Six Eyes sorcerer, the strongest of the current generation, Gojo Satoru, who was regarded as maintaining the power balance between sorcerers and Cursed Spirits, took action, but perished within the barrier in a way no one knew.
According to Kenjaku's speculation, it must have been some extremely evil curse that caused Gojo Satoru's resentment to pour back upon his death, and his body and spirit were eroded by the environment of Tokyo, becoming the embryo of the [Curse Spirit King].
This was different from Ryomen Sukuna. Ryomen Sukuna was a born anomaly who dominated the Heian Era, when sorcery was at its peak. After his death, due to his overly powerful Cursed Energy, his fingers became special Cursed Objects.
Strictly speaking, the King of Curses back then did not turn into a Cursed Spirit himself, but his fingers, due to their overly powerful Cursed Energy, became vessels for Cursed Spirits.
And with enough fingers, Ryomen Sukuna would be awakened.
Gojo Satoru's own spirit, however, was about to turn into the King of Cursed Spirits.
Kenjaku feared the mysterious person who killed Gojo Satoru that day, and also feared the Six Eyes sorcerer who was about to become the King of Cursed Spirits. He couldn't even imagine who could exorcise such a Cursed Spirit if it were born.
Therefore, he had to keep Yuji Itadori by his side, not hesitating to abandon other bodies and choose the elderly body of Itadori Wasuke.
At the same time, he secretly obtained ten fingers, ready to revive Ryomen Sukuna at any time.
Bai Cangshu left Itadori's house and came to a warehouse alone. The old pickup truck was parked outside the warehouse.
This was where Yuji Itadori put his "patients", and it was also arranged by Kenjaku.
For ordinary people to become sorcerers, having Cursed Energy and a Cursed Technique are two basic conditions.
In the world of sorcery, the definition of Cursed Energy is that most people actually possess a certain amount of Cursed Energy, but the level is too low, so low that they cannot even see Cursed Spirits.
However, Bai Cangshu, whether due to his innate talent or because he currently possesses 7 points of energy attribute and the special milestone of [Spiritual Sight] at the same time.
At least in Kenjaku's eyes, he was an object with excellent aptitude to become a sorcerer.
The trial of the Millennium Sorcerer for newcomers is simple and brutal.
To use Cursed Energy, one must naturally learn to control emotions, control the flow of those emotions and Cursed Energy. Nothing is more effective than facing a group of Cursed Spirits that have already been born and are about to be born.
Either learn to control Cursed Energy and exorcise Cursed Spirits.
Or...die.
