"Stronger my aura became, stronger the curses born from it. Just as I turned six hundred years old, strange changes started to occur in my physical body. My height, which had stopped growing long before— was now increasing again. But, the most significant change my body underwent was the loss of hunger. I no longer ate flesh, and I was really happy for this."
They continued to walk through the snowy forests and valleys. Although, the thick snow was falling heavily, Hojo felt no cold.
Just by looking at his surroundings, which were truly very realistic, he couldn't believe it was domain of someone.
Subconsciously, he had started to compare his strength with the man walking alongside him.
"I didn't know on which source of energy, my body was continuing to grow and live. What I knew was that my strength suddenly started to increase rapidly and my height had reached eight feet. But I wasn't able to stop the births of cursed spirits from my Aura. Unfortunately for me, they were slowly becoming intelligent. And soon they left where I lived, and spread all across Japan."
"People began dying. I tried to defend them, but I was alone against the large number of them. And... humans were very weak. I couldn't protect multiple villages at the same time. That's why I created jujutsu, a manipulation technique of cursed energy."
"Human could use it to defend themselves. But to control cursed energy, it required talent and practice of hundreds of years, which surpassed normal human age. It made this way highly impractical"
"It was a very big problem to breakthrough. Curses were increasing rapidly. Not only from me, they began to born from normal human emotions. Then I found a way to create jujutsu sorcerers. I needed to create such bodies which were born with soul purpose to become a sorcerer. And I knew how to create such type of bodies. Children."
"I married a girl from a large village and made her pregnant with my seed. I did this to more than hundreds of women, whether they were virgin or already married. Villagers didn't hesitate and gave as many as women possible."
"After a year, many children born. Their body was full of cursed energy. I trained them how to control the power flowing inside them, and fortunately every single child proved to be a prodigy. They became warrior in just age of 15. People call them Jujutsu Sorcerers."
"They fought and protected their villages and became head of their village. I travelled to many villages and spent decades of my life to born and train these sorcerers. I wanted to create a cycle of sorcerers which could stand as equal with the birth rate or at least strength rate of cursed spirits. Children that were born from jujutsu sorcerers were same like them, but a little weaker. Sometimes, jujutsu Sorcerers married a non-sorcerer which made their bloodline more unpure."
"When I already was a thousand-year-old, jujutsu sorcerers became natural in human society. Because of water around Japan, cursed spirits were limited to only Japan, and this was same for sorcerers. Humans prayed me as their god. But they didn't knew, they were praying a killer, a monster who once had killed several humans beings and animals just to fill his stomach. Haha."
A subtle smile appeared on Yahaech's face.
"How did you died, if you were this much powerful?"
Hojo couldn't thought a way or a condition, in which someone like Yahaech could die. Especially at that time.
"I was coming to that part also. Many centuries passed and great clans established. Humans were also developing at a higher rate. Various kinds of techniques were created for sorcerers to fight more efficiently with cursed spirits."
"Sword techniques were those which were developing at highest speed. By pouring cursed energy in katanas, humans could strengthen themselves multiple times. Time continued to pass and with this, my body continued to evolve. In each five hundred years, my body usually underwent significant evolution."
"When I was fifteen-hundred-years old, my body decomposed and only my spirit remained and I turned into a pure spirit without a physical body. My powers reached new heights, I could connect with both physical & astral world."
"I could interact with souls of dead people and could also summon them temporarily. Everyone feared me because I was the source of cursed spirit and at the same time, they worshiped me, maybe because of fear."
"I had no purpose to live and I was spending my days... doing nothing. I decided to kill myself, but because of no physical body, I was unable to kill myself. My body already required no food or water to live, so I was out of options to kill myself by not eating food or via exhaustion."
"I was suppressing my ninety-percent strength, so that my aura doesn't harm any sorcerer. And still, only higher ranking sorcerers could bear my presence for hardly an hour."
"Suppression made me feel suffocation everyday. I was bored of this no-purpose life. Most of the time, I spent my day in large rooms alone. One day, I sent an order to all sorcerers of Japan to gather in one place."
"More than eleven-thousand midrank sorcerers, two thousand higher rank sorcerers and hundred strongest sorcerers gathered in single place. I said to all of them, kill me."
"Almost everyone was surprised from this, but after a bit hesitation, they attacked me. Everyone knew killing me alone was impossible, but maybe gathering all sorcerers of earth, there was a chance."
"After a long attempt of ten days to kill me, while I was doing neither offence nor defence, for the second time in my life, I felt like I was really going to die. But in the end, nothing happened and all of my injuries were healed in just an hour."
"Those who fought me were more injured than me. That was when I left humans and went to mountains. There I spent few years. I sealed all my powers and energy in my eyes. My two eyes were unable to bear the pressure of my immense powers, so as a result four more eyes appeared on my face and I started to look like a monster. My eyes turned colourful, containing various colours which represented various types of emotions."
"As a result, rest of my body weakened and I lost almost all of my strength and aura. I knew, my powers didn't vanished, but were only sealed in my six eyes. After that I returned to humans and started to live my life normally as a simple powerless human."
"I had no ways to change my appearance and ten feet height, but I was somewhere happy that I can live normal life now. I started to felt pain, exhaustion and... pleasure."
"My powers remained silent in my eyes for last ten years of my eyes. I still remember, when I was fifteen-hundred-fifty-six years old, I died as a human."
"I wanted someone to inherit my strength, but no one was able to inherit them at that time. I needed my own child. I already had many and literally all the sorcerers were indirectly my child but my true blood was contaminated in them as time passed."
"So in the last few years of my life, I married the strongest female sorcerer of that time. After pregnancy, she gave birth to a boy. My true descendant."
"When he grew up, I transplanted two of my eyes in him. I told him to marry a pretty woman and have a child. When your child grow to same age of yours, transplant your two eyes in his and live rest of your life blind and tell him the same, I'm telling you. I needed him to transplant my eyes to his next generation, and his next generations to later generations."
"A time will came, when a kid with same eyes as mine will born. He will be the first user of six-eyes. Actually, they were only two eyes, but because I originally had six, there name eventually became six-eye."
"Then, I left my child and sent my soul to astral world, where souls of those who are dead go. In a way, I never gave all of my powers to my descendants. Because they couldn't handle them. Because they were simply too weak."
"After my death, around more than thousand years after it, a child was born with six eyes. He was first six-eye user and his name was Suguwara no Michizane, who lived from 794 CE to 1185 CE."
"I know every six eye user who was born till today because after their death, they come to my domain as their soul is bound to me. That's why I has pretty much knowledge about present world. Satoru Gojo was last of them, and now you. But you are still alive."
"And you are most important of all them, as you are only child who have inherited my true powers of all six eyes."
