Chapter 48 - Chapter 48 Heaven! The followers enter the world of gods

Time passed bit by bit, and in a blink of an eye, the sun had risen and set twice.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps, as well as Tamayo and Yushiro, had completed all their tasks and successively arrived at the Divine Realm.

Tamayo and Yushiro were the first to arrive at the Divine Realm. At first, they were a bit nervous stepping through the Torii Gate, but after realizing that God was not in the Divine Realm, they set up a temporary hut outside the Torii Gate to research medicine.

In a short time, they created many special medicines.

A 'Panacea' that can heal all injuries and allow humans to recover their bodies like demons, an 'Elixir of Immortality' that can give humans a thousand years of life, a 'Harvest Potion' that can make crops grow and harvest quickly, and so on.

Tamayo believed that God had bestowed such a Blessing upon her to create medicines that would bring happiness to the world, so she had to do her best not to fail God's mercy.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps also arrived one after another.

Seeing Tamayo and Yushiro, they immediately recognized their identities.

However, because both of them had the Blessing, they didn't shout and kill. Lord Xia Wei would not bestow Blessing upon those who were utterly wicked.

Coupled with the example of Kamado Nezuko.

Tamayo and Yushiro saw the Demon Slayer Corps members showing them goodwill, and their hanging hearts relaxed.

"I didn't expect Miss Tamayo and Mr. Yushiro to be like Nezuko," Tanjiro said innocently. "It's a pity it's daytime now, so Nezuko can't come out to greet everyone."

Tamayo looked at the box on Tanjiro's back and shook her head: "Mr. Tanjiro, what Mr. Yushiro and I are like is a bit different from what you think." She didn't elaborate on how it was different.

She also couldn't believe that there was a demon who could break free from Kibutsuji Muzan's control by its own will.

"Mr. Tanjiro, please take this. This is medicine to overcome sunlight. You might not need it after meeting God."

Tanjiro held the medicine bottle Tamayo handed him with both hands and sincerely thanked her: "Thank you, Miss Tamayo, I don't know how to thank you."

Sanemi Shinazugawa clicked his tongue: "Just take it, kid. When you see Lord Xia Wei, you better show the most sincere attitude, or I'll cut you down with one swing." He then looked at Genya, and the kid with the mask who didn't know what he was doing, and the timid, snot-nosed blond kid.

Zenitsu Agatsuma, startled by Sanemi Shinazugawa's gaze, quickly jumped behind Tanjiro Kamado: "A murderous gaze! Don't scare me, I, I'm timid, I'll faint on the spot if I get scared."

Uzui Tengen, with his arms crossed, scoffed: "How did such a timid kid pass the final selection and join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Tanjiro quickly retorted: "Zenitsu is very strong, and his sword skills are also powerful."

Inosuke Hashibira scratched his head, bewildered: "By the way, why did I come along?"

Genya Shinazugawa glanced at Inosuke Hashibira, then shifted his gaze to his brother.

Splat!

Gyomei Himejima clapped his hands together, and an invisible sense of oppression instantly appeared around them. Everyone felt as if gravity had increased, feeling pressure throughout their bodies, and his voice was steady.

"Everyone, this is the pure land of the Divine Realm. Lord Xia Wei might have already arrived. How disrespectful is this to Lord Xia Wei?"

"Gulp..." The person who spoke broke out in a cold sweat.

It wasn't caused by the pressure from Gyomei Himejima, but rather that their actions might have inadvertently desecrated Lord Xia Wei.

Even if they were already Lord Xia Wei's retainers, the hierarchy must never be overstepped.

Zenitsu Agatsuma was so scared that tears came out, clutching his mouth tightly. It was too terrifying, too terrifying. How strong were these people?

Buzz...

Just then, the Torii Gate emitted a faint glow, and everyone's spirits lifted, with only one thought appearing in their minds.

Lord Xia Wei is back.

Swish!

Everyone sincerely knelt down on one knee in front of the Torii Gate, perfectly aligned.

"All of you, come in, my retainers, and the children guided by destiny."

A sacred and gentle voice echoed in everyone's minds, calming their anxious hearts.

"Yes!"

...

Xia Wei sat gracefully on a stone stool in the garden in front of the main temple, looking like an elegant noble young master, but the divinity emanating from him constantly told everyone that he was a noble God.

"You have done very well, my retainers, welcome home."

These words instantly enveloped everyone in warmth.

Tanjiro Kamado respectfully looked at God in front of him. So warm... Is this Lord Xia Wei?

Although he had looked up to him in Tokyo, at that time he only felt God's might like a prison and God's Blessing like the sea.

Now, God only gave him infinite mercy and gentleness, the embodiment of all goodwill in the world.

Muichiro Tokito's forehead creased, and he pressed Tanjiro's head down to the ground.

'Ouch, ouch, ouch...' Tanjiro Kamado's eyes bulged from the pain, and he also realized that he had just offended God. He quickly prayed in his heart, 'I'm sorry, God!'

Xia Wei smiled and looked at everyone: "You have all accomplished what you wanted to do, and you have no regrets, right?"

Their inner obsessions were gone, especially when he looked at the soul of Butterfly Kanae, who was also kneeling on one knee beside Shinobu Kocho.

In the Divine Realm, her soul had taken form, and everyone could see it, but they weren't surprised. Shinobu Kocho had already told them that the soul of the former Flower Hashira was nearby.

"Yes, Lord Xia Wei, my heart has no more regrets." Gyomei Himejima's eyes no longer shed tears: "Thank you for guiding me to resolve that misunderstanding that shouldn't have existed."

Giyu Tomioka didn't speak, but his clear and bright eyes had already said what he wanted to say.

Kyojuro Rengoku and the others didn't have any spiritual regrets, but their firm will already represented what they wanted to say in their hearts.

Some things simply don't need to be said; God knows everything.

Xia Wei looked at his retainers, whose emotions were very firm and unified, and nodded, then looked at Tanjiro Kamado and the others who were not yet his retainers.

"Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Genya, everyone has already told you about the Blessing and the future you will face after receiving the Blessing, right?"

The three youngsters quickly raised their heads and nervously, clumsily, and uniformly spoke out: "Yes!" Only Nezuko gave a soft "awoo" and then blinked at him, like a small pet.

"Raise your heads."

"Yes!" x3

The three youngsters' hearts pounded nervously.

Ubuyashiki-sama and all the adults (brothers) had already told them in detail.

To be granted Blessing by God, to save one world after another in the future, to become a candidate God, and finally to become God.

Their ability to enter the Divine Realm was recognized by God; those not recognized couldn't even see the Torii Gate of the Divine Realm.

"Hehe..." Xia Wei smiled at the nervous youngsters: "There's no rush to bestow the Blessing."

"First, let's go to our own Heavenly Realm. From now on, the Heavenly Realm will be our home."

As soon as his voice fell, a Torii Gate radiating golden, divine light appeared in everyone's sight.

"This is the Heavenly Realm Gate, the portal to the Heavenly Realm."

Everyone's hearts pounded, filled with awe.

Go to the Heavenly Realm! Can they enter God's world now?
