Chapter 180 The Kingdom of Eternal Times——The Curtain Rises!
ended.

The thousand-year-old ghost king turned into ashes under the sun, and a chapter of history came to an end. The human journey accelerated and the shadows that shrouded the road ahead disappeared without a trace.

But when the fog clears, what will be revealed is either a messenger from heaven bringing blessings or a signpost from hell bringing disaster...only time will tell.

Su Beixun pulled out the Sun Wheel Sword from the ground.

Kokushibo and Akaza also died in the entanglement with Douma.

The breeze blew the black dust over his feet.

A black crow cawed and circled in the sky.

Su Beixun raised his head and frowned.

【Are you a crow? 】

[There are Demon Slayers in this place? 】

His body was in serious condition now, and his ability to sense his own blood had dropped significantly, so he didn't notice where the other party was hiding.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one showed up, Su Beixun stopped caring about it and went back to the Infinite City, half of which was still in the alien space, through Mingnu.

"grown ups."

With only half of her body left, Mingnu bowed her head.

The blood demon art that Su Beixun cast on her has disappeared, but the impending death due to the destruction of Muzan has made her eager to swear allegiance to the new [Ghost King].

Su Beixun stretched out his nails and pierced Mingnu's neck, and the blood quickly flowed into her body.

Then more and more flowed.

He felt himself growing weaker.

But Mingnu's incomplete body section was just a bulge of flesh, but she couldn't really grow any limbs.

【Isn’t it possible? 】

Su Beixun frowned.

It seems that the ghost and the Ghost King are bound together. If the Ghost King dies, the death is irreversible even if there is a new source of blood.

But he did not stop after knowing this. Instead, he injected blood more fiercely to expel Muzan's influence on Mingnu.

The mixing of the two bloods was extremely painful, and Mingnu couldn't help but scream.

But Su Beixun did not stop at all.

Not until the product content in his blood reached a certain limit did he suddenly stop and start absorbing in reverse.

"Wait... wait a minute! My lord..." Mingnu was panicked, and her mutilated body suddenly turned into blood mist and floated into Su Beixun's body.

Assimilation followed by ability seizure may not necessarily succeed. But there is no doubt that Su Beixun will never lose when betting on probability!

Closing his eyes and feeling for a moment, Su Beixun's mind moved, and the ruined [Infinite City] slowly separated from reality and disappeared into a dark world again.

【Really good. 】

The damaged walls and room were quickly restored as he wished, and everything was back to normal.

But his joy did not last long. After touching his stomach which looked like it had a hole in it, his eyes suddenly became gloomy.

However... before he could find a way to go further, he still needed to restore his strength by eating.

……

The sun is high.

Su Beixun returned to the family in the town.

When the white-haired woman heard the noise, she hurriedly walked out of the house anxiously, looking at the bloodstains on Su Beixun's body with fear and trepidation.

"My Lord...are you alright?"

Su Beixun was in no mood to pay attention to her. He pushed her aside and walked into the house. He sat down on the recliner, closed his eyes and rested.

"Go find me some food. The younger the better, and move quickly."

"Yes!"

The woman bowed her head and disappeared in an instant - with Su Beixun's blood flowing in her veins, she could naturally survive under the sun.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

The increasingly dazzling sunlight penetrated his closed eyelids, causing Su Beixun to open his eyes irritably.

There was nothing left in this world worth his lingering for, and he couldn't wait to enter the next world to pursue a further path.

"【World Goal】?"

From a corner where no one knew, a scornful smile was heard.

##
"Xi'an, is what you saw real?"

On the desolate land, the man looked at the messy traces and asked softly.

A crow stood on his shoulder and politely stroked his chest with its wings. "Of course, Mr. Iguro, you have asked me three times... And, Kabukimaru, please don't spit at me, I will be irritated."

Xiao Banei squatted down and touched the broken cracks in the ground, and said in an erratic voice: "I just can't believe it."

He frowned, his heterochromatic pupils flashing beautifully.

"As you said, the guys with [Upper String One], [Upper String Two], and [Upper String Three] engraved in their pupils all turned to ashes in the sunlight. A demon with white hair and a stronger aura also died with them."

"The only one who is stronger than the upper ranks is probably the Demon King, right?"

Xiao Banai stood up and touched the white snake that had been scaring the crow. "So... you want to tell me that the thousand-year goal of the Demon Slayer Corps was achieved without any explanation or disturbance?"

The crow was speechless and a little aggrieved: "But I really saw it!"

"Is this so..."

Xiao Banei thought about it.

"No matter what, this news must be told to the lord first... and the guy you mentioned who survived and suddenly disappeared..."

"It's Su Beixun!" The crow flapped its wings to interrupt him: "I've seen that guy in the portrait brought by [Silver]! He's the evil ghost who killed [Mist Pillar] and [Flame Pillar]!"

Su Beixun?
Xiao Banei narrowed his eyes.

He looked up at the bright sunlight and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Whether it's that [Xi'an] has a mental illness or that there really is an evil ghost that can walk in the sun... it's not happy news.

##
Five days later.

"This is what Xi'an saw."

Inside the Ubuyashiki residence, Obanai repeated everything that Yaguchi had told him without any emotion.

"I've asked the [Inu] to help check its spirit, but it will take some time for the results to come out."

Ubuyashiki Yoya didn't say anything.

He looked at the steaming tea in front of him, his expression dazed and stunned.

"My lord?" Xiao Banei called softly as she looked at the man in front of her who was rarely distracted.

Ubuyashiki Yoya came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly: "No, I'm fine...it's just...I can't accept it for the time being."

Xiao Banei frowned: "Do you think all this is true?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya was silent for a moment and nodded.

He looked past the gate and gazed at the blue sky: "Obanei, you should know the curse of our Ubuyashiki family."

He pointed at his blind eyes and regretful face, "Because there was a ghost king in the family, the whole family has been burdened with karma. Even if they marry into the lineage of the priests, no one has ever lived past 30."

He paused and spoke softly.

"But now... I feel very relaxed, more relaxed than ever before! Just like the distant mountains and the smoke from cooking, the dogs and the fields... Can you understand, Xiao Banei?"

The man tried his best to describe his feelings, and two lines of tears rolled down his hideous flesh.

When a thousand-year-old wish is fulfilled, no one can remain calm.

The souls passed down from generation to generation will resonate through the blood and be reflected in every drop of tears.

Xiao Banei didn't understand, but he could feel the man's burning emotions.

Although it was a bit destructive, he still wanted to ask: "So... is it true that there are evil spirits that can overcome sunlight?"

"It's very likely." Ubuyashiki Yoya wiped away his tears and became calm and wise again: "If he still exists after Muzan's death, it can only mean that he is now the new Demon King!"

Xiao Banai pursed his lips tightly under the bandage, and said solemnly: "A new ghost king who is not afraid of the sun sounds more troublesome than Muzan."

"Yes. Coupled with the previous prescription, I don't know how many people have fallen victim to his tricks. So, it's far from time to relax."

Fortunately, they didn't know anything about Su Beixun like they did about Muzan Kibutsuji.

The [Eternal Village] established by the other party is still monitored from afar by a large number of [Hidden Department] members.

Ubuyashiki Yoya took a deep breath and looked determined.

He is not ready to give up on the Demon Slayer Corps just because the curse is lifted.

All the swordsmen who have died in the fight to slay demons over the past thousand years have proved with their lives that it is not the Demon Slayer Corps that belongs to Ubuyashiki, but that Ubuyashiki belongs to the Demon Slayer Corps!
"Xiao Banei, call a Pillar-level meeting."

He supported himself on the table and stood up, feeling the energy surging through his body and feeling full of motivation.

“We must have a good discussion about future plans.”

##
A crow circled and descended.

In the team house.

Shinobu Kocho looked at the letter sent by Crow, and there were many complicated emotions in her empty eyes.

Relieved, happy, unwilling, angry...

But no matter what.

With Douma's death, her sister's hatred also largely disappeared at this moment.

only……

When she saw the familiar name on the letter, she suddenly became worried about the boy.

"Kanao, where is Aka?" asked Shinobu Kocho.

"There should be poison in the side room." The girl with pink-purple eyes said softly, "He has been staying in there these days."

"Is that so... Ask him to come over. Just tell him... it's related to Su Beixun."

Kanao nodded and turned to leave.

Soon, Chi followed the girl and pushed the door open.

"Senior, are you looking for me?"

His hair was long and dirty, his clothes were not tidy, and his dark pupils were filled with fatigue.

But Shinobu Kocho could read from it an anger that was so deep that it was almost dead, like a volcano that was pregnant with disaster.

"have a look."

She sighed and handed over the letter in her hand.

Chi took it and looked at it very quickly.

As the lines of information came into his eyes, he tore big holes on the edge of the letter paper.

"red."

Sniffing the boy's rich wisteria scent, Kochi Shinobu asked softly, "Although I know your choice, I still want to ask you solemnly... Do you want to go with me to the Pillar Level Meeting to discuss Su Beixun?"

"Of course! Of course I will participate!"

Shinobu Kocho stared at him: "Even if you want to open your wounds and show them to others over and over again in the meeting... Is that okay?"

"I do not care!"

Chi lowered his head and grabbed his wrist which was full of needle holes: "I don't care about anything now!"

Kocho Shinobu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Come with me."

Chi followed without saying a word.

Pushing open the door, [Yinbu] had already prepared the carriage.

The sun was still as bright and dazzling as ever, but it made the boy who had been staying in the room for a long time squint his eyes uncomfortably.

Although there was no basis for it, he suddenly had a vague premonition at that moment that the day when this ill-fated relationship would completely come to an end... was very near!

The two were about to get on the bus.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

"I'm sorry! But...can I go with you, please?"

Tanjiro, who was bandaged, bowed and said sincerely, "Please, no matter what, I want to attend this meeting too!"

"Eh?" Shinobu Kocho tilted her head: "You eavesdropped on our conversation?"

"I'm so sorry!" Tanjiro was a little embarrassed: "I couldn't calm down after hearing Su Beixun's name, so..."

"No."

Shinobu Kocho stepped over him and got into the carriage, sticking her head out of the window: "This is a Pillar-level meeting, and you are not like Chi, who knows Su Beixun very well, right?"

"But……"

"No buts." Kocho Shinobu interrupted him and glanced at the box behind him: "Besides, your sister is still alive after Muzan's death. This is really very suspicious."

"Wait... wait a minute? Muzan is dead? When did it happen?" Tanjiro widened his eyes, very surprised.

"Five days ago."

Shinobu Kocho stopped talking, asked Chi to get in the car, and then slowly drove away in the two extended tire tracks.

Tanjiro stared at the carriage as it gradually disappeared, but he came to his senses as soon as the wind blew. He quickly found a room with dark lights and took Nezuko out for a closer examination.

##
Throwing away the arm bone he had eaten clean, Su Beixun threw the heads of several people who had died with their eyes open beside the dining table out through the [Infinite City].

Wiping the scraps of flesh off the side of his mouth, he lay back in the chair, feeling the strength surging from his body.

But this time, he was not as happy as usual.

The sun at noon was so dazzling that it was disgusting. Su Beixun glanced at the white-haired woman standing respectfully beside him and asked, "[Mu], in your opinion, if opportunities were presented to humans, would anyone yearn for us?"

"Of course there will be!"

The woman looked up at the words, her expression matter-of-fact: "We are stronger than humans, live longer than humans, and now we have eliminated all defects. Why would they refuse?"

"……you're right."

Su Beixun smiled and said, "Strength and longevity are what any intelligent creature instinctively pursues. No one would ignore them."

As he spoke, he stood up, suppressed his worry deep in his heart, and looked quietly towards the boundary between the sky and the earth in the distance.

"Are all the preparations done?"

"Don't worry, my lord!"

The white-haired woman affirmed: "All the top leaders in this country, including managers of various important departments, have all become our ghosts."

Su Beixun nodded: "Let's go back first."

The surrounding environment suddenly turned dark, and after passing through the [Infinite City] as a transit point, the two quickly returned to the [Eternal Village].

The sun was shining and the villagers were working hard in the fields with sweat all over their bodies - after becoming immune to the sun, Su Beixun no longer had the fantasy of reversing day and night.

[Cage] sensed Su Beixun's presence and quickly appeared to greet him.

Next to him was a pale, flat-headed, boy-like ghost who was about eight years old.

"grown ups."

[Cage] bowed and reported: "Everything has been normal these days. The surveillance personnel are also in a state of delusion and there is nothing unusual."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Su Beixun smiled slightly and spoke in a high-spirited tone.

"Don't worry about this narrow village anymore."

"Now."

"To take over the country that belongs to us."
