Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Su Jie stroked the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, no, from now on, this thing in his hand could be called the Emperor's Banner.

He handed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to Han Ruyan; in Han Ruyan's hands, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner could exert greater power. After all, she had the Heavenly Spinning Jade Light Body and could command all spirits. She was the true Ghost Empress, with natural abilities to enhance the power of such demon and ghost artifacts.

"Wife, you're about to be promoted, aren't you?"

After carefully examining Han Ruyan a few times, Su Jie felt the increasingly real aura on her body.

Others might not understand, but Su Jie knew very well that for Han Ruyan to be promoted to Ninth Grade, she could truly condense from an illusory fierce ghost into a human form, returning from illusion to reality, and could freely shift between the tangible and intangible.

"Within three years, Ninth Grade."

Han Ruyan raised her chin and gave an answer.

"Great, that's wonderful."

Su Jie grinned widely; a Ninth Grade Fierce Ghost!

Su Jie felt that if Han Ruyan reached that level, even a Purple Mansion Cultivator could confront her head-on.

Though also a Ninth Grade Fierce Ghost, Han Ruyan was different. Her combat power wasn't something other Ninth Grade Fierce Ghosts could compare to; she could completely overpower ghosts of the same grade. If Han Ruyan ascended to a Ninth Grade Fierce Ghost, Su Jie couldn't even imagine how immense the gain in combat strength would be.

Moreover, Su Jie also thought that once Han Ruyan became a Ninth Grade Fierce Ghost, they could truly consummate their union as husband and wife. Although currently calling each other wife and husband, they were only so in name, not in practice.

"Are you thinking about something nasty?"

Han Ruyan seemed to see through Su Jie's little thoughts and spoke out suddenly.

Su Jie blinked his eyes and unabashedly said, "I'm waiting to have our wedding night with you."

"There will be."

Under Su Jie's gaze, Han Ruyan's pale cheeks unexpectedly flushed with a faint hint of red.

As she approached the promotion to Ninth Grade Fierce Ghost, she was also regaining more and more of her seven emotions and six desires, recalling the memories of her previous life, becoming more and more like a human.

Of course, she only looked like this in front of Su Jie; to outsiders, Han Ruyan was still that terrifying Ghost Bride, even those in the Daoist Platform Realm would shudder at her mention.

After exchanging a few flirtatious words with Han Ruyan, Su Jie muttered again, "Speaking of which, why hasn't Xiao Qian come back yet; is he playing too wildly to want to return home?"

......

The Thousand-Handed Centipede, whom Su Jie was thinking about, was indeed having a great time.

It was a rare opportunity to be let out to roam freely in Blue Star by Su Jie. Although Blue Star was a spiritless environment, not as good as Tianyuan World, it could still experience the joy of being the overlord here.

Needless to say, in the Tianyuan World, the ancestor of Ghost Ridge Palace, the annual ring worm, was a nine-grade Gu worm, and, removing the fact that it didn't like to move, its strength was even stronger than the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

Now that it had Su Jie's permission, having the chance to come out once, it certainly didn't want to return home so quickly.

After completing the task of destroying Tokyo, the Thousand-Handed Centipede soared in the sky, flying over Japan and the surrounding regions.

This action caused extremely severe consequences, not to mention Japan, which had been ravaged by the Thousand-Handed Centipede, the surrounding countries were all on high alert, nervously watching this destructive beast, fearing that it would descend upon their own countries.

Such a terrifying and astonishing sea monster would make any country shudder.

The fact that this sea monster could destroy Tokyo City in a short time meant that the centipede sea monster had the capability to destroy any city globally. Its terrifying destructive power could be considered a walking, human-shaped natural disaster.

Adjacent to Japan, the whole of South Korea let out a unified cry of frustration, constantly cursing Japan, and praying that this centipede sea monster wouldn't come to their country.

Fortunately, it was a relief to know that the Thousand-Handed Centipede did not run rampant in other countries.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede knew that these countries and their populations were Su Jie's wealth, and for the Thousand-Handed Centipede itself, it needed humans to help raise insects, as it relied on humans to provide its feed.

If not necessary, it wouldn't go on a killing spree, just like herders wouldn't pointlessly kill or beat the cattle and sheep they raised for a living.

This time, it was only because Japan had gone too far that the Thousand-Handed Centipede was dispatched.

Soaring through the chaos in Japan, the Thousand-Handed Centipede occasionally skimmed low over Japanese cities below, causing panic and disorder among the Japanese population.

Each large city in Japan, affected by the presence of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, sparked a massive migration spree.

Numerous city residents fled the cities, bringing their families with them, all afraid of following in Tokyo's footsteps. If their city were attacked, they too could end up as corpses.

Conversely, heading to the countryside was seen as somewhat safer, as the lower population density was at least less likely to attract the giant centipede sea monster's attention.

As for the wealthy and powerful in Japan, most chose to flee the country.

Tickets for international flights and ferries became extremely scarce, with prices skyrocketing to several hundred times their usual rate.

The enormous profits still drew some airlines and shipping companies to take risks, as the profits were too enticing. Even with the threat of sea monsters, some persisted in making money regardless.

With this, the entire nation of Japan fell into disarray. People fled with their families, and the wealthy were also running away and transferring their assets. Japan's economy was crumbling like an avalanche.

The destruction of Tokyo alone had already dealt a heavy blow to Japan's economy. Now, under the intangible threat of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, the economy further collapsed, especially in those major cities where property prices plummeted to dirt-cheap levels without any buyers.

Based on the sea monster's movements, it seemed these sea monsters coming ashore loved attacking cities, so living in cities made one risk becoming a meal for the sea monster.

It's akin to how in the event of a nuclear war, large cities would always be high-value targets for enemy nuclear strikes first. Naturally, property prices in large cities would be unstable. Conversely, going to the countryside, no one would arbitrarily launch a nuclear bomb there for no reason.

Even though the Thousand-Handed Centipede was just soaring in the sky, the blow it dealt to Japan was no less impactful than the destruction of Tokyo. The organizational structure of this country was collapsing, and the economy was plummeting.

Even if the Thousand-Handed Centipede did not attack again, its existence was like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Japanese people; no one knew when the Thousand-Handed Centipede would launch another destructive attack on a city.

Indeed, the Thousand-Handed Centipede was playing. It first circled Japan a few times in the sky, even going to Mount Fuji for a while, seemingly considering it as its lair, an action that terrified all of Japan, fearing that Mount Fuji might be destroyed by the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

However, Mount Fuji did not meet the fancy of the Thousand-Handed Centipede. Despite being the highest peak in Japan, it didn't catch the eye of the Thousand-Handed Centipede. It had seen far grander, more majestic spiritual vein mountains with denser spiritual energy in the Tianyuan World; to use such a mountain as a lair was rather ordinary for it.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede then flew to the Fukushima region of Japan, where it encountered those storage tanks containing nuclear wastewater.

These tanks store the wastewater produced by the water that was pumped into the reactors daily at the Fukushima nuclear power plant after they were destroyed. This wastewater was the source of Japan's nuclear wastewater problem.

Now, the Thousand-Handed Centipede saw these tanks used to store nuclear wastewater in Fukushima.

Without difficulty, it flapped its wings several times, and the gusts they created blew all those large tanks storing nuclear wastewater away, spilling them. The Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant was completely trampled and destroyed by the Thousand-Handed Centipede's stomps.

Although those cores would damage Japan's environment, the Thousand-Handed Centipede did not care much. After all, it thought it could handle any repercussions.

This time, Japan's excessive actions triggered the dispatch of the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

Cruising chaotically through Japan, the Thousand-Handed Centipede occasionally skimmed low over Japanese cities, causing panic and commotion among the people of Japan.

Multiple major cities in Japan erupted into massive panic-induced evacuation waves due to the presence of the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

Countless city residents fled with their entire families, all fearing that they, too, would end up like Tokyo.

In contrast, the countryside seemed somewhat safer, with its sufficiently low population density drawing less attention from the great centipede sea monster.

Meanwhile, flights and ferries out of Japan became impossibly scarce, causing a surge in ticket prices to hundreds of times their typical cost due to the immense demand.

The entire country of Japan was thrown into chaos; citizens fled in mass, taking their families with them. The nation's economy went into a steep depression, already weakened by the destruction of Tokyo, and now further crippled by the actions of the Thousand-Handed Centipede. Property prices in major cities dropped drastically, with no buyers willing to take on the risk.

This was similar to the principle seen during a nuclear war, where large cities were always high-value targets, subject to being struck preferentially by enemy nuclear bombs, causing urban property prices to plummet.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede soared through the sky, yet the impact it had on Japan was no less devastating than the destruction of Tokyo. Its presence was like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Japanese populace; nobody knew when it might choose to descend upon their nation again.
