In a spacious room, the main character of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yōya, was kneeling at the head of the room.
On the left and right sides, there are cushions one after another. Some cushions are empty, while others are already occupied by people kneeling quietly. Among them are the pillars such as Masaki and Butterfly Kanae.
After a while.
Two more members of the Demon Slayer Squad arrived late.
One of them was the newly promoted Flame Pillar a month ago, Purgatory Anjojuro. He killed the third of the twelve ghost moons on that day. In addition to his past achievements and strength, as well as the Flame Pillars of his fathers and ancestors, With his background, he finally found his position and became the new Flame Pillar recognized by everyone in the Demon Slayer Team.
"My lord."
Purgatory Anjuro walked into the room and respectfully bowed to Ubuyashiki Yōya.
Ubuyashiki Yaoya looked at him gently, waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, just take a seat."
It's been nearly half a year.
The Demon Slayer Pillars gather together once again.
After all the pillars were seated, Ubuyashiki Yōya's eyes swept across the entire place calmly, he closed his eyes slightly and then reopened them, saying: "I've called you here this time to discuss whether to make some adjustments to the strategies for dealing with ghosts. But there is one more thing to inform before we discuss it.”
All the pillars looked over.
In addition to discussing strategies for dealing with ghosts in the future and strategic directions for nearly a year, the Zhuhe meeting also had some major events, but such major events often rarely occurred.
The notice placed before the meeting was obviously a major event.
So except Kanae, all the pillars' attention was focused.
Ubuyashiki Yōya's expression became solemn.
"The thing to be notified is... the existence of gods has been confirmed."
The words fell.
There was silence.
Almost all the pillars were stunned, looking at each other in astonishment. Some even looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
gods.
A word that can be said to be extremely distant.
Almost all the pillars present have struggled out of pain and suffering, but some of them also believe in gods, such as Yanzhu Mingyu Xingming.
But no matter who it is, they only have a concept in their mind about the existence of 'gods'.
To put it more simply, it is faith.
It is just a place of spiritual sustenance and a place of prayer. No one will ever materialize gods and define them as something that actually exists in cognition.
However, Ubuyashiki Yōya said that he confirmed the existence of gods.
Therefore, for a while, both those who believed in gods and those who had no faith were at a loss.
"Do gods... exist?"
"I see."
Flame Pillar Purgatory Anjuro folded his arms on his chest, closed his eyes slightly and nodded, then opened his eyes again and looked at Ubuyashiki Yōya, and said: "So, are the gods on our side?"
Purgatory Anjuro easily accepted the existence of gods, and one sentence pointed to the only essence he cared about.
Ubuyashiki Yōya looked at Purgatory Anjuro.
"From the current point of view, He should not be on any side, but he is friendly to us."
If the gods were on the side of humans, as shown in Kanae's report, they could make the ghosts completely disappear from the world with a wave of their hands, but Fengye did not do that.
It shows that Fengye is not on the side of humans.
Likewise, I am not on the side of the ghost.
The only information was that Kanae had been in contact with Feng Ye and received a hair from Feng Ye, a hair that contained the essence of an unimaginable...god's hair.
From this point of view, at least Fengye was friendly to them.
"I see."
Purgatory Xingjulang nodded and said: "Although it is a bit regretful, with the situation developing like this, it can indeed be seen that God has never interfered with the development of anything in the world."
After the words fell, silence returned to the room.
The atmosphere seemed a little strange.
Obviously not everyone is like Purgatory Anjuro, who accepts the existence of gods in a very strange and abrupt way.
"Hey, hey... are you kidding me?"
Yinzhu Yuzhu Tianyuan put his hands on the floor, with veins appearing on his forehead, showing an unacceptable and angry look, and said: "What does it mean that gods exist, and what does it mean that they have not interfered with the development of the world and created such a cruel world?" Isn’t that exactly…”
The sound stopped suddenly.
A hand was placed on Yu Zhuan Tianyuan's shoulder, stopping him from continuing.
That hand belongs to the rock pillar Ming Ming Island Xing Ming.
"Yuzhuan Tianyuan, that's it for now, don't continue to blaspheme the gods."
Mingyu Xingming took back his palms, clasped his hands in front of him, and said: "Everything the gods do must have their reasons. We can have life precisely because of the kindness of the gods. Don't regard your pain as the gods." 's fault."
"Mailing Island..."
Yu Zhuan Tianyuan looked at Beimingyu Xingming, his mood was still a little unstable.
Mingyu Xingming turned to him and said with a solemn expression: "Who is the person who has caused all of us pain? Yinzhu!"
Hear this.
Yu Zhuan Tianyuan suddenly woke up.
Then he clenched his fists and spit out the name filled with hatred.
"Kibutsuji Muzan!"
See this.
Mingyu Xingming's expression returned to calmness and he sat upright again.
He clasped his hands together and lowered his head slightly, silently chanting and praying: "Please forgive him for his gaffe just now and forgive his offense."
Chapter 27 Zhen Jian’s Judgment
Some believe in the existence of gods, some do not believe in the existence of gods, some accept it easily, such as Flame Pillar, and some are more rational, such as Wind Pillar Immortal Kawa Saneya.
After the entire conference room returned to silence, Fengzhu Fusukawa Saneya, who had not spoken until now, looked at his lord.
"You said you confirmed the existence of gods. I want to know how you confirmed it."
Immortal Kawa Saneya's words also made the other pillars focus their attention.
His words pointed to something more crucial.
How is the existence of gods…proven
Without evidence, Ubuyashiki Yōya, as the master of the Demon Slayer Corps, would obviously not announce such information easily. Since he would choose to announce it, it means that there is tangible evidence.
No matter which pillar it is, even Mingyu Xingming, who has always believed in the gods, also wants to know what the evidence is that proves the existence of the gods.
Of course, Ubuyashiki Yōya was not surprised when he heard the question from the Immortal Sakawa Saneya.
He looked at Kanae, the butterfly butterfly who was sitting in the second seat on the right and had not participated in the discussion from beginning to end, and nodded slightly at her.
Kanae put a hand into her arms, then pulled it out again, and opened her hand in front of everyone. In the white and soft palm, there lay quietly a silver-white hair.
"This is a gift from God and proof of His true existence."
The eyes of many pillars present focused on Kanae's palm.
Although the hair was slender and inconspicuous, those present, all members of the Demon Slayer Squad, had sharp eyesight and could clearly see the seemingly ordinary silver-white hair.
"A hair?"
Immortal Kawa Saneya frowned slightly.
"It seems ordinary."
Yu Zhuan Tianyuan observed intently.
Kanae took the wooden platform that had been placed beside her, placed the hair on the wooden platform, and said: "Get closer and feel it carefully, and you will know."
Hearing Kanae's words, Immortal Sakawa Saneya frowned and looked at the person next to him.
The Wind Pillar Immortal Kawa Saneya, who was the first to present retrospective evidence, did not take the first action, but the Flame Pillar Purgatory Kyōjuro, who easily accepted the existence of gods, was the first to act.
"That is, this is the hair of a god, right?"
Purgatory Anjuro looked at Kanae.
"Exactly."
Kanae nodded slightly.
Purgatory Anjuro touched his chin with one hand and said: "I see, then let me feel the presence of God."
Said.
He stood up first, came to the front of the hair, and performed a very formal ritual of worshiping the gods. Then he knelt down, held up his hands, and touched the silver-white hair.
The fingertips of both hands touched the edge of the hair.
But nothing unusual.
It's not heavy, but very light, like ordinary hair.
Purgatory Anjuro was startled for a moment, but then he closed his eyes and mobilized the power of the breathing method to activate his own perception ability.
This perception is an instinct that has been tempered through countless battles with ghosts for many years.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
I never felt anything unusual.
Just when Purgatory Xingjulang was confused, his expression suddenly paused.
He opened his eyes.
I saw that the entire field of vision suddenly turned into a vast expanse of white. The original conference room had disappeared, and all the pillars had also disappeared.
Everything in front of me turned into a pure white world.
He looked down.
Shock appeared in his eyes.
Under his feet, in an unknown place, in the endless white, there appeared a silver bridge that seemed to connect two parts of the world and run through the other side!
The magnificent silver bridge is composed of countless shocking textures. Each texture contains truth that cannot be described in words. Just looking at it seems to produce endless insights.
As a flame pillar.
The breathing method he mastered also had its own unique operating route.
This running route has been honed, studied and developed by countless forefathers of swordsmen from generation to generation, and finally the essence extracted is perfect.
But now, on the 'bridge', just a little texture in a corner seemed to far surpass everything he had created through countless generations of Yanzhu's painstaking efforts.
That power.
Boundless!
Compared with the silver-white bridge, it seems as small as a drop in the ocean.
…
In the conference room.
Under the gaze of all the pillars, they saw that Yanzhu Purgatory Xingjulang closed his eyes and carefully perceived it for a few seconds, and then suddenly his whole body froze and stopped completely.
Until nearly half a minute passed.
Plop!
