"God's Power (Hidden, Unique)"
"Mission Description: The Outer God residing in you has revealed its existence. It covets this world that has lost its gods. Help it successfully descend into this world, and you will receive the favor of God."
"Reward: Special Hidden Faction - Outer God Domicile opened and gained a large amount of prestige, unknown reward."
"Failure Penalty: Curse Mark - One Strike of Inari damaged."
Bai Cangshu reached out. Even though he could now touch various spiritual entities due to the "Spirit Toucher" milestone and his increasingly powerful soul, he still couldn't touch the "Fox God Envoy" in front of him.
This entity, transformed into a "Fox God Envoy," whose true form was most likely Inari God, showed no displeasure at Bai Cangshu's disrespect. Instead, it floated up a bit, coming to the same height as Bai Cangshu, its ruby-like eyes gazing at Bai Cangshu.
"O seeker of power, as long as you can accomplish what I arrange, even touching me will be permitted."
Bai Cangshu stared at the other party unblinkingly, the white marks at the tips of his hair rapidly expanding, and blood began to flow from his nostrils.
But Bai Cangshu was oblivious, still greedily staring at the other party.
The Fox God Envoy's figure rapidly dimmed, but its voice still appeared perfectly intact in Bai Cangshu's ears.
"This is not the power you should be exploring now, mortal. Find that altar, offer a sacrifice sufficient for my descent, and I will tell you everything..."
It didn't reveal too much information, but Bai Cangshu in his Transcendent Helix state, whether it was his information gathering ability or intelligence analysis ability, far surpassed his normal state.
His mind kept flashing back to when the Curse Mark - One Strike of Inari appeared. This item was not in the Shinto Faction prestige exchange manual given by that Old Shinto Priest, and this Fox God Envoy clearly had a status almost equivalent to Inari God itself.
That's why the Old Shinto Priest was scared out of his wits and knelt before the Sacred object (Goshintai).
Therefore, that exchange was clearly something that deity actively wanted Bai Cangshu to obtain.
And as for anything special about this world, it was that this world was vast enough, and it just so happened that the Gods had most likely been killed by Saitama, and there were still special altars of those Gods remaining in this world.
Everything converged to one point: Inari God, from the Demon Slayer World, probably wanted to invade this world.
Just as the space description was consistently precise, the word used now was — "Outer God."
"Hurry your pace, greedy Reincarnator. A fellow even greedier than you has already found that altar ahead of time. He is coveting that power..."
Inari God's voice slowly faded, but that curse mark seemed to have been directly recharged. Previously, such an ability clearly required him to spend a d-class special point at the goddess's place for recharging.
Bai Cangshu's lips curved. Even if this "Outer God's" tone was peaceful, that urgency could no longer be hidden.
"Hey, Sage, can you still Dragonification now?"
The Sage, severely wounded by Bang, had a very low life response again, and he was already unable to detect the Outer God's appearance, so he didn't understand the malice behind Bai Cangshu's question at this moment.
Bai Cangshu simply took out Ace's Single Boat (Modified), stomped his feet, and electricity surged, flying directly from the air at high speed towards the target location.

"Hey, is he dead?!"
Li Qingzi held her pitch-black battle saber, her entire being completely enveloped in Armament Haki, but even so, she didn't feel much security.
Xiao Jiuwo, displaying his full power, didn't last long against Tang Sanzang. Of course, she also understood that was probably Xiao Jiuwo's goal.
That seemingly unreliable evil spirit deliberately wanted to use his death to try and awaken the "sleeping" Kageyama Shigeo.
Their battle stirred up a storm in the spirit world, and ultimately Xiao Jiuwo was completely annihilated, his spiritual fragments scattered everywhere.
"???" also, as expected, sensed how powerful the enemy that appeared within the spirit world was.
A power that made Li Qingzi and Night Midnight tremble appeared. "???" directly raised its hand and once again tore open the boundary between the spirit world and reality.
It grabbed Xiao Jiuwo's spiritual fragments, then let out a painful shriek.
At that moment, Li Qingzi rarely saw Night Midnight fall from that almost imperceptible state. The entire spirit world was howling, and countless spirits were annihilated in that fury.
Of course, the first to bear the brunt was Tang Sanzang, who was almost covering the spirit world with that red kasaya. This Title-level Reincarnator, famous for his power, directly faced the terror of "???."
That kasaya, rumored to be of golden plot-level equipment quality, was directly torn to shreds. Tang Sanzang's Great Vajra Dragon Dharma Form was instantly destroyed. Li Qingzi saw Tang Sanzang's face as pale as gold leaf, clearly severely wounded.
She instantly drew her sword, and the sword light pierced into the torn kasaya from afar, but it was empty; she struck nothing.
Instead, it attracted "???"'s gaze. Li Qingzi immediately activated Godspeed, taking Night Midnight and instantly fleeing several kilometers.
Coupled with Tornado's rage, starting even more violent attacks, "???" was once again drawn back to the real world, which allowed Li Qingzi and Night Midnight to survive.
At this moment, Li Qingzi once again lost track of Night Midnight and could only ask loudly.
"That guy's gourd has a problem!"
"Tsk, truly worthy of being a favored follower of Terminus Great Sun. He has so many good things on him..."
Amidst the displeased grumbling, Night Midnight described that she sensed that before "???"'s subsequent attacks and Li Qingzi's sword strike, a purple gourd appeared in Tang Sanzang's hand, and then he disappeared.
And her special ability couldn't capture or affect him, which could only mean that Tang Sanzang had hidden himself, and his hiding method was extremely clever, almost creating a new "phase" or world within the spirit world.
Li Qingzi could tell that Night Midnight's tone when saying "favored" was strange, most likely mocking Tang Sanzang. However, after truly fighting a Title-level Reincarnator of that caliber, Li Qingzi had to admit that at present, they could only satisfy themselves with verbal jabs.
The power of the Third Tier was displayed vividly, with energy intensity and precision being overwhelmingly powerful, while also mastering more special powers, a certain... rule.
She guessed that even if Tao Bai Bai teamed up with the two of them and once again displayed that powerful stance from the Pirate World, they might not necessarily win.
Such Reincarnators who truly entered the "Fierce" tier had a far richer array of methods than plot characters, and the difficulty of dealing with them was higher than ordinary Fierce-tier plot characters.
Thinking of this, she tentatively asked Night Midnight.
"You mean, that Tao Bai Bai is challenging the Sage alone on that battlefield?!"
Her heart thumped uncontrollably, but she couldn't distinguish whether that feeling was joy or anxiety, or both.
As things stood, Li Qingzi had to admit that she might really have Stockholm Syndrome, but...
The Sage, to some extent, was a Reincarnator of a similar level to Tang Sanzang, and his abilities were even more mysterious, with many rumors circulating about him. Even if he wasn't a top-ranked follower of Destiny Eternal, a newcomer like Bai Cangshu shouldn't be able to defeat such a guy.
Moo!
A painful roar appeared again. Li Qingzi's eardrums instantly ruptured and bled. She froze in place, and Night Midnight also revealed herself. The two looked back blankly, only to see a corner of the spirit world torn open again.
Tornado, exuding a violent aura, pushed "???" back into the spirit world, and looked at "???" with a terrifying expression.
"If you want to go crazy, hide here and go crazy by yourself!"
"Don't mess up my world again..."
Her voice was low, and there was unsuppressed anger on her face.
"Now, be quiet. I'm going to find that guy..."
Li Qingzi watched this scene, not understanding what happened.
