Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens

Compared to these means of proving oneself, within the Demon Slayer Corps, whether it be ordinary demon slayers or Pillars, they undoubtedly place more trust in Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader.

And Kagaya Ubuyashiki, undoubtedly, also has greater faith in his own predictions.

After all, his predictions, to a certain extent, are practically direct observations of the future. Luo Fu, who is inherently a demon and has also broken free from Muzan Kibutsuji, yet in his predictions, he will become an even more terrifying Demon King than Muzan Kibutsuji in the future. How could Kagaya Ubuyashiki trust him?

If he doesn't take advantage of Luo Fu's current state of not being fully developed to eliminate him completely, he would simply be failing his ability to foresee the future.

Looking at Makomo, who was full of anticipation, with a sinister expression, Luo Fu smiled with ill intent: "Are you thinking that since the Demon Slayer Corps and special demons like Tamayo can cooperate, then someone like you and me, who have almost broken free from the need to eat humans, can also cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps as long as we show our stance?"

A bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart, and Makomo said uneasily: "Luo... Mr. Luo Fu, do... do you mean?"

"Stop dreaming." Luo Fu mercilessly shattered the last bit of hope in the girl's heart, saying: "Have you forgotten what your Demon Slayer Corps leader said?"

Makomo looked at Luo Fu in confusion.

It has to be admitted that, not only in the present era but even in the future, the island nation is still a very bizarre country.

Putting aside other things, the lower class of the island nation rarely harbors doubts about their rulers.

And now, it is even more so.

Ever since deciding to join the Demon Slayer Corps and diligently practicing the Water Breathing technique under the tutelage of the former Water Pillar, Sakonji Urokodaki, in Makomo's heart, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps has been the object of her future loyalty.

And for the person she is loyal to, Makomo, like many islanders, simply does not have any thoughts of questioning.

Sighing helplessly, seeing that the numerous Demon Slayer Corps members around her were almost wiped out by his fourteen clones, Luo Fu knew that soon, the Pillar-level existences would personally descend.

Although he managed to successfully break through the encirclement from these Pillar-level existences last time, Luo Fu's goal has never been to entangle with the Demon Slayer Corps.

For him, the most urgent task at hand is to find the Blue Spider Lily that can allow him to break free from the terrifying weakness of sunlight in the shortest amount of time.

It must be known that the longer the delay, the higher the chance of the Blue Spider Lily's existence being exposed.

The Demon Slayer Corps members are not fools either; it is impossible for them not to suspect why Luo Fu, a guy who, according to the leader's prediction, will become an even more terrifying demon than Muzan Kibutsuji in the future, is so obsessed with Mount Kumotori.

His intentions for Mount Kumotori will become the focus of suspicion for the entire Demon Slayer Corps.

Once even Muzan Kibutsuji's attention is attracted, Luo Fu will be in trouble.

After all, the current Luo Fu is ultimately just sharing the physique of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan Jonin Uchiha Luo Fu, plus the knowledge of the extraordinary system from the other Luo Fu.

Luo Fu is the weakest existence among the three parties: the demons ruled by Muzan Kibutsuji, and the Demon Slayer Corps.

The fourteen clones cannot last long when the Pillar-level existences go all out, let alone the demons.

Not knowing when he will have the opportunity to enter the shared space for the second time, all of Luo Fu's actions must be based on speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

He absolutely cannot dawdle; once his steps are hindered, Luo Fu's series of plans will undergo changes.

Especially if Muzan Kibutsuji gets the Blue Spider Lily one step ahead of Luo Fu, the consequences will be even more serious.

Although there are still a few seriously injured Demon Slayer Corps members who have not been dealt with.

However, Luo Fu simply handed them over to his clones, while his main body, as if carrying a kitten, grabbed Makomo by the scruff of her neck, and his figure disappeared into the jungle in a few leaps.

Not long after Luo Fu left, soon, Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka, Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku, Flower Pillar Kanae Kocho, Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui, and others hurriedly arrived at the scene.

When they saw the corpses of so many Demon Slayer Corps members who had died tragically on the spot, plus a dozen of Luo Fu's clones still delivering the final blow to the other seriously injured survivors.

These Pillar-level powerhouses immediately rushed up without regard for anything.

On the other side, Luo Fu, who had taken Makomo one step ahead to escape, quickly sensed several extremely angry emotions and soon recognized that these were precisely the appearances of several Pillar-level existences.

Glancing at Makomo, who was being carried in his hand, Luo Fu said, "Point the way."

It must be known that in Tanjirou Kamado's heart, the Demon Slayer Corps members are their Kamado family's benefactors.

However, before Tanjirou Kamado could speak, Luo Fu's gaze was attracted by the leftover wild vegetables stuck to the plate in Tanjirou Kamado's hand.

Almost the moment he saw this green vegetable stalk, Luo Fu had already recognized it. This was the Blue Spider Lily that the scum boss Muzan Kibutsuji had been searching for for thousands of years without success.

Unexpectedly, the Blue Spider Lily, which was regarded as a treasure by demons and even suspected by countless demons to not even exist in the world, had actually been tasted as a wild vegetable by a member of the Demon Slayer Corps before Luo Fu.

Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Fu subconsciously wanted to grab Tanjirou Kamado and force him to ask about the whereabouts of the Blue Spider Lily.

But soon, this thought was dispelled by him.

Don't forget that the Blue Spider Lily only has effects when it is picked during its blooming time at noon.

More importantly, since the Kamado family can make the Blue Spider Lily into wild vegetables and even give it to the Demon Slayer Corps members to enjoy.

That also means that they must know the place where the Blue Spider Lily grows.

If Luo Fu wants to obtain the blooming Blue Spider Lily, the best choice is to use the Kamado family.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Luo Fu suddenly showed a kind smile, saying: "You are Tanjirou Kamado?"

"That's right. You are..." Tanjirou Kamado was respectful, because in his heart, Luo Fu and Makomo in front of him were also benefactors of his family.

However, what made Tanjirou Kamado feel somewhat doubtful and even vaguely vigilant was that Luo Fu and Makomo actually had a strong bloody smell on them.

For others, this smell is even so weak that they cannot even detect it, but Tanjirou Kamado is different. It must be known that he can even smell the smell of human emotions.

Tanjirou Kamado's powerful, unscientific sense of smell can smell the taste of emotions.

And Luo Fu is even more direct; his ability is to manipulate emotions.

At this moment, Tanjirou Kamado's feelings of doubt and vigilance naturally could not be concealed from Luo Fu.

Smiling slightly, Luo Fu explained: "Don't be nervous. We just encountered a little trouble just now, but the Pillars have already resolved it."

Without any suspicion, plus the fact that he did not smell the taste of lying on Luo Fu's body, Tanjirou Kamado quickly believed Luo Fu's words.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a child like Tanjirou Kamado, who has been managing the family business since childhood, to trust strangers so quickly.

But unfortunately, the Demon Slayer Corps had already laid the foundation for Tanjirou Kamado's trust before.

Luo Fu is now completely taking advantage of the Demon Slayer Corps.

After his explanation gained Tanjirou Kamado's trust, Luo Fu changed the subject, saying: "By the way, Ms. Kanae Kocho praised the wild vegetables you sent very much. Ah, I almost forgot, you should know who Ms. Kanae Kocho is, right?"

Tanjirou Kamado silently nodded.

The name Kanae Kocho obviously fits women better, and among the four people who are called adults by everyone, there is only one woman.

Just thinking about it slightly, Tanjirou Kamado recognized the identity of Ms. Kanae Kocho.

"It's good that you know who Ms. Kanae Kocho is." Luo Fu said with some apology: "Ms. Kanae Kocho likes the wild vegetables you sent very much, but compared to these wild vegetables, the adult likes this kind of flower even more. I wonder if you could trouble you to pick some blooming wild vegetables and send them to Ms. Kanae Kocho?"

"Blooming ones?" Tanjirou Kamado only frowned, then quickly showed a smiling expression, confidently saying: "Please rest assured. This kind of wild vegetable actually blooms for a very short time, and it just so happens that these few days are when they bloom, but..."

Scratching his head awkwardly, Tanjirou Kamado said: "Only my mother and younger siblings know the location where this kind of wild vegetable grows, and this kind of wild vegetable only blooms at noon. Since the adult likes it, we will definitely try our best to pick some, and I will personally send it to the adult tomorrow afternoon."

Luo Fu did not doubt Tanjirou Kamado's explanation.

Based on the Kamado family's poverty, as the main force in supporting the family, Tanjirou Kamado, in addition to burning charcoal, goes down the mountain to sell charcoal. He simply does not have much time for things like planting and picking wild vegetables to supplement the family.

This kind of work that is not very tiring is naturally done by the mother, Aoi Kamado, with her young younger siblings among the family members.

The growth conditions of the Blue Spider Lily itself are relatively harsh, and the picking time is short. It is not surprising that Tanjirou Kamado does not care about or even know the growing location.

Luo Fu showed a relieved expression, saying: "There's no need for so much trouble. Ms. Kanae Kocho likes this kind of wild vegetable too much. How about this, Makomo and I will go back with you, and after you pick the blooming wild vegetables tomorrow, we will take them away directly and send them to Ms. Kanae Kocho. How about that?"

"Is that so?" After hesitating for only a moment, Tanjirou Kamado quickly nodded and agreed.

In the hierarchical island nation, a word from someone of noble status is enough to have subordinates complete the task with utmost dedication. Kamado Tanjiro had witnessed such things countless times, never even considering any other possibility.

Despite his young age, Kamado Tanjiro's maturity was beyond imagination, due to his father's frail health since childhood.

Having received Kamado Tanjiro's approval, Rofu and Makomo directly returned to the new residence with him.

Not long after Rofu and Makomo left.

The Demon Slayer Corps members who had eradicated Rofu's clones finally returned, their faces heavy with grief.

Indeed, in that short battle, dozens of Demon Slayer Corps members, including several Kō-ranked demon slayers who were just one step away from becoming Pillars, had tragically died at the hands of Rofu's clones.

Such a heavy loss was the reason for the Demon Slayer Corps members' somber expressions upon their return.

"Damn it!" Upon returning to the wooden house, Rengoku Kyoujurou angrily punched the table that Kamado Tanjiro had tidied up.

"I will never let this damned bastard go. I will inherit the will of the Rengoku family and completely slay Rofu, that damned demon."

"Rofu is on the mountain," Tomioka Giyuu said expressionlessly. "Should we send someone to check on the Kamado family?"

"Judging from the state of the room, the child named Kamado Tanjiro must have tidied up before leaving. It's almost dawn, and Rofu just attacked our Demon Slayer Corps. He shouldn't target the Kamado family anytime soon," Uzui Tengen analyzed before saying, "At least, Rofu should avoid the daylight hours, so the Kamado family should be safe."

"That makes sense." Kochou Kanae nodded in agreement, then yawned and said, "It's getting late. Let's rest first. After dawn, we'll continue searching for Rofu's whereabouts on the mountain."

At that moment, the Demon Slayer Corps members were completely unaware that their lack of information had caused them to miss the last chance to contain Rofu.

After returning to their current residence with Kamado Tanjiro, Rofu and Makomo were arranged to rest in the guest room.

Although called a guest room, it was originally Kamado Tanjuro's room where he recuperated from his illness, but after his death, the room had been completely empty.

Now, it was being used as a guest room to accommodate Rofu and Makomo.

After arranging Rofu and Makomo's accommodations, Kamado Tanjiro didn't stay home. Instead, he left a letter for his mother and ventured deep into the mountains again.

He still had charcoal-making work to complete in the mountains.

This was the family's source of livelihood. Even though the arrival of the Demon Slayer Corps members had brought them unexpected wealth, Kamado Tanjiro still didn't abandon his work.

The next day.

Kamado Kie woke up and saw the message left by her eldest son, Kamado Tanjiro.

Kamado Kie was overjoyed that the adults liked the wild vegetables she and her children had picked.

After waking the children and having breakfast, Kamado Kie, eager not to miss the blooming time of the Blue Spider Lily, impatiently took Nezuko, Kamado Takeo, Kamado Hanako, Kamado Shigeru, and even the newly weaned Kamado Rokuta, straight to the place where the Blue Spider Lily grew.

The Blue Spider Lily only bloomed around noon.

Moreover, the Blue Spider Lily could only grow in places directly exposed to sunlight, with no shade around.

When Rofu sensed that Kamado Kie had taken the whole family out, he couldn't help but fall into a state of anticipation.

As noon approached, even Rofu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After all, the area around the Kamado family was the only place Rofu knew where the Blue Spider Lily grew, and more importantly, the Blue Spider Lily only grew and bloomed during these few days each year, and once missed, he would have to wait until next year.

Even just a few days could bring endless variables, let alone a year.

At least in Rofu's mind, even though it was still several years before the start of the plot, he couldn't wait any longer.

Even if he had to wait, it should be after he obtained the Blue Spider Lily and completely got rid of the huge weakness of the sun.

As noon passed, Rofu's mood became increasingly anxious, and even Makomo beside him noticed the change in his mood.

"Mr. Rofu, you… you seem very nervous?" Makomo mustered her courage and said to Rofu, "How about I chat with you?"

Rofu glared at Makomo. In fact, for Rofu, Makomo no longer had much value.

After all, in Rofu's mind, Makomo's greatest role was to help him find Mt. Kumotori and contact the Kamado Tanjiro family. Now, her greatest value had been fulfilled.

Amused and annoyed, Rofu looked at Makomo and said, "You want to ask me why we can't be like Tamayo, right?"

Even though several hours had passed, Makomo still hadn't forgotten the impulse to hope to be re-accepted by the Demon Slayer Corps when she learned last night that she could ignore the demons' craving for human flesh, and even more so, she hadn't forgotten the doubts when this desire was shattered by Rofu.

Nodding vigorously, Makomo went straight to Rofu and prostrated, saying, "Sir, you were also a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, but you were contaminated by the Demon King's blood and eventually became a demon. Now that you have broken free from the Demon King's control, then why… why…"

Before Makomo could finish speaking, Rofu directly reached out and pinched the girl's chubby cheeks. After pinching them, Rofu said, "Have you really forgotten the evaluation of me by the master of the Demon Slayer Corps? I will be a demon king even more terrifying than Kibutsuji Muzan in the future? I even almost exterminated humanity."

Makomo's face turned pale instantly.

She couldn't imagine how terrifying a demon king surpassing Kibutsuji Muzan would be.

After all, Kibutsuji Muzan had lived for thousands of years, and even now, the demons under his command only accounted for a fraction of the entire human population.

And Rofu? The master of the Demon Slayer Corps actually believed that Rofu would not only be a demon king surpassing Kibutsuji Muzan in the future, but would even destroy humanity?

"Why… why? Sir, why… why do you want to destroy humanity?" Makomo looked at Rofu in despair.

After being transformed into a demon by Rofu and suffering a lot of torment where she couldn't live or die, Makomo knew very well that she still had no possibility of resisting Rofu.

But precisely because of this, her heart was so desperate at this moment.

Rofu rubbed the girl's hair and said, "Perhaps I will indeed be stronger than Kibutsuji Muzan in the future, but…"

Memories of the Pillars' words about Ubuyashiki Kagaya's predictions about him flashed through his mind.

Rofu claimed that although he didn't like the island nation, the population of the island nation in this era was more than 50 million. If you add the foreign population and some hidden populations, the number is almost close to 60 million.

Even if he was crazy, Rofu couldn't really completely destroy the island nation with a population of nearly 60 million.

Putting aside other things, Rofu couldn't leave such a mental demon for himself for the sake of his future.

You must know that even the memories of Rofu's predecessor eating people had caused him a great psychological shadow.

Killing people is one thing, but killing innocent people is another.

If he harms his own kind, unless Rofu completely separates himself from the concept of a human being, the more people he kills, the greater the impact on his own mind.

He was confident that Ubuyashiki Kagaya's so-called future destruction of humanity was probably not because he really killed the island nation, or even threatened the entire world.

But because he found the direction of human evolution.

To some extent, demons are a product of failed human evolution.

The main reason for this failure is the fear of the sun. This obvious weakness is obviously not in line with the direction of evolution.

But apart from the weakness of the sun, demons are obviously another kind of creature beyond humans. Immortality, no disease, limb regeneration…

This ability that far exceeds the scope of normal people, if the restraining effect caused by the sun is eliminated, and the uncontrollable desire for human flesh is removed, then demons are the perfect presentation of the evolved new human.

However, this evolution will inevitably turn humans into two species within a certain period of time. During this stage, if the time is short, it's okay, but once the time is lengthened, it will inevitably cause competition between the two species.

There is no doubt that demons who have replenished themselves, or the evolved new humans, are definitely not something ordinary humans can contend with.

Don't use the scum boss to generalize all demons. You must know that there are also smart people among the demons.

When they have enough lifespan, their wisdom is no less than that of humans, plus those varied and supernatural blood demon arts, the disappearance of humans is almost inevitable.

This is the only possibility that Ubuyashiki Kagaya saw of Rofu destroying humanity.

Guessing what he would do in the future, Rofu gently pulled Makomo up from the ground and said, "As a demon transformed by me, you should know very well that we don't have much strong desire for human flesh. I'm not very interested in killing humans either. The only thing I can guarantee is that what I bring to humans is not destruction, but taking humans to a new world."

Just as Rofu's voice fell, before Makomo could figure out what Rofu's so-called new world meant.

Kamado Kie, who had left early, returned happily with Nezuko and other children, carrying baskets.

Before returning home, Kamado Kie saw Kochou Kanae wearing a haori, waiting at the door.
