Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 287 Tianyuan
Jin Itadori...something was not quite right with him. Although the technique that Shingen Ichi cast on him was not very powerful, it was not something an ordinary person could break free from.

However, he was able to break free from the restraints of Shen Genyi's technique in a very short time. This situation would generally only occur when the opponent was a powerful sorcerer, but Yuji Jin was not a sorcerer, otherwise Shen Genyi would not have "despised" him first.

So when dealing with the noose, Shen Genichi paid special attention to Jin Itadori's situation. Then, he found that the latter was indeed able to break free from the influence of his technique faster, or in other words, it was because of his existence that the duration of time stop was shortened a little.

It's like using a technique on a character like Sukuna and using it on a nobody or even an ordinary person. The difficulty of the two is not on the same level.

But Jin Itadori is obviously just an ordinary person. How could he make it so difficult to inflict his technique on him?

Shen Yuanyi was busy guessing the reasons behind this, and everything in the world was moving along its own trajectory. After the technique was lifted, in the eyes of others, 'Itadori Kaori' suddenly stopped moving and collapsed to the ground.

After Shen Yuanyi destroyed the body of the noose in the head, he even had time to restore its appearance to its original state.

At least it didn't seem that scary to them. Then, Jin Itadori held the crying child who didn't know what had happened, and threw himself on the ground in front of the body that should have been dead long ago, with a complicated expression on his face.

Of course, he had seen Kaori Itadori's previous misconduct. It would be completely self-deception to say that he was unaware of her abnormality. The reason why Jin Itadori was immersed in this illusion was probably because he was unwilling to give up that pitiful fantasy.

And now this last fantasy was ruthlessly shattered, but at this moment he had no resentment in his heart. He just woke up involuntarily from the dream and had to face the helplessness of this cold reality.

"This……"

Jiujiu Yuki had almost no chance to attack the entire time. From her perspective, the noose looked so flustered when he saw Shen Yuanyi, and then said some incomprehensible words, and then fell to the ground without a sound.

She could probably guess that it was Shen Genichi who used magic to get rid of that guy, and that he completed the task so easily that even now Kujuku Yuki still feels a little bit unreal. However, what she cares about most is of course Nozomi's "nonsense".

"They know each other..."

This is a crucial piece of information. Shenyuanyi almost did not hide the information about the noose from everyone in the academy. He just removed his own existence from it.

Therefore, everyone knows that this guy is a curse master who survived from the Heian period. His evil deeds are definitely one of the most typical examples of a curse master. So... he could meet Shen Yuanyi and show such horror.

Could it be that... the latter is also a magician who survived from a certain era in the past, or even from the Heian period?

Thinking of Shen Genichi's technique, Kujuu Yuki felt that this guess was not unreasonable. If one could master the power of time, then it would not be impossible to ignore the passage of time and achieve immortality.

But if this speculation is true, there is still a doubt that cannot be explained, that is, from ancient times to the present, the major magical forces and folk legends have not produced any records of such a powerful sorcerer.

That guy Nozomi can change his identity because of his magic, but the magic of 'time' cannot provide such a disguise. And can a magician like Shen Yuanyi really hide without a trace in the same way?

Kujuyuki, who was a little confused, did not ask the question directly, but wanted to know what to do next.

Kamiganichi glanced at Jin Itadori. For the latter, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. The noose must have a purpose for approaching the Itadori family, and it is very likely that it fell on Yuji Itadori.

Nozomi can do many things for his own calculations, but once he achieves his goal, he will no longer be entangled with the Itadori family, and then 'Itadori Kaori' will still have to die.

Although Nosoko has escaped the disaster with the help of his magic, he will lose a lot of power as a price. In addition, this guy is afraid of Shen Yuanyi, so it is only a matter of time before he is found and killed again, and he will not be able to cause any trouble.

And Shen Yuanyi actually hoped that he would gather together the curses of the real people who were born from several concepts to cause trouble. This would be much more convenient for him and he wouldn't have to look for them all over the world.

"It's settled for now. Someone will take care of it later... Let's go."

……

Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

Death Star Palace.

This place hidden underground in the technical high school where Tianyuan hides actually has two spaces, the outer layer is the existing material and is where Tianyuan hides.

The illusory 'inner world' is a space created by Tianyuan using the barrier technique. Normally, the meeting with Tianyuan takes place in the inner space, just like Shenyuan at this moment.

As an extremely special existence even among top-grade sorcerers, Shen Yuanyi is naturally qualified to request a meeting with Tianyuan, and his purpose of coming to see Tianyuan is also very simple.

As a magician who has also lived from the Heian period to the present, even if he has not experienced as much as Nozomi, he at least knows something about the past. So we should be able to get more information about the former "Shingenichi" from him.

Taking the wide "elevator" down into the dim underground space, the only light here that is blocked from the sunlight is the lights scattered throughout the place. The Hongxing Palace appears to be concave in shape, with circles of ancient corridors extending down layer by layer.

The palace at the bottom with a giant tree in front of the door is the main body of Hongxing Palace, which is also where Tianyuan hides. Walking alone in this silent and vast underground space, Shenyuanyi suddenly stopped and cast his eyes into the void, as if he was looking into the eyes of a certain existence.

"Tianyuan, why don't you see me? Are you waiting for me to dig out your body?"

Shen Yuanyi's voice echoed here and gradually dissipated, and then a strange wave appeared in the former's perception. Then, when the scene in front of Shen Yuanyi changed and turned into an ordinary house, he saw the existence named "Tianyuan".

"Ugh……"

He was still a human being, or had human characteristics. There was no doubt that he was the owner of the "Immortality Ritual", the cornerstone of the current sorcery world - Tengen.

When Tianyuan showed up, he only had a pair of eyes to look over, and the look in them was very complicated. Shenyuan saw the fear and awe similar to that of the noose, but also some inexplicable things.

As soon as Shenyuan sat down, the chair beneath him felt almost real. He looked at Tianyuan with a smile, and had already made up his mind.

"You knew that from the beginning?"

Tianyuan nodded. The face in front of him that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar made him dazed for a moment. In the past, because of his technique and personality, he was not as nervous as Nosuo.

To use modern analogy, Tian Yuan was the kind of scientific researcher who was indifferent to worldly affairs and focused on his own goals. In addition, due to his technique, 'Him' at the time did not have any ill will towards him and could not be "killed" anyway.

This is also the reason why Tianyuan was mostly in awe now, and did not lose his composure like Luosuo. After hearing Shenyuanyi's words, he immediately bowed and saluted.

"grown ups……"

It was indeed as Shenyuan said. In fact, Nozomi knew about the existence of the former before. After all, how could he not know about a top-class sorcerer who joined the high-level sorcery and became a special employee of the Gojo family?

Modern methods are extremely convenient, so when Tianyuan saw the familiar face in the image and the technique that he could never forget in the information, he fell silent.

During the Heian period, he was forced to become the assistant of Kamigōichi. Later, the latter's plan failed to succeed, and then he disappeared. Tengen, on the other hand, broke free from his constraints and lived in the world of sorcery according to his own wishes.

The magicians of that era were almost wiped out. He was one of the very few magicians who survived and was quite powerful. His status rose rapidly for a while, and then he protected the world with his barrier technique.

And all this came to an abrupt end hundreds of years later.

That should have been an important moment for mortals in the secular world to fight for power and profit, but Tianyuan never cared much about it. He was the cornerstone of curses and the real world. No matter who ascended to the position of master, in order to deal with things like curses, he naturally needed his help.

But he could never have imagined that He would appear again...

The first time it descended, the black "sun" destroyed everything. Without any hindrance, it slaughtered those who had long forgotten its power and dared to resist, whether they were mortals or sorcerers.

"Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish."

The powerful and sorcerers of that era were certainly unwilling to give up the power they had just seized, even all of it, so they naturally resisted.

Then blood flowed like a river, and it really formed a small river flowing out of the ruins of the destroyed city. Tianyuan didn't know how many people died, and many of them were even annihilated in the "black sun" and no trace was left of their bodies.

Tian Yuan surrendered, just like hundreds of years ago. It would not be quite right to say that he surrendered, because he actually believed that the world was still good under His rule. Those dignitaries and magicians were all crawling at the feet of the being on the throne like the ants they looked down upon in the past.

In fact, as long as they were obedient, the lives of those powerful people were not much different, except that they could not act recklessly like before. The flesh and blood peeled off from them was enough to feed those below.

So Tianyuan seemed to have experienced a reincarnation and returned to the Heian period. In that "dark" period called the 'Era of the God', he did not feel much, but just completed his work conscientiously until He really left this world.

However... things in the world are so unpredictable. Hundreds of years later, he saw that familiar face again.

However, the other party did not dominate everything as ruthlessly as before, but ran to the Gojo family to become an "ordinary" magician, and even became a teacher at a technical high school.

Tian Yuan thought of many ways to deal with the situation, but in the end he couldn't help but choose silence. He didn't know what the purpose of this "Him" who looked exactly the same as him, except for his personality, was to appear again.

But no matter what, he couldn't stop the other party, and he couldn't even tell the current world of sorcery about that buried history. He simply stopped thinking about those troublesome things and just waited for fate to come as a spectator.

Because His will is God's will and the trajectory of destiny.
