"Wait, wait, wait! What's with the notifications?" Tanjiro was bewildered by the changing status and the rewards he received for killing Muzan.
Seeing his SP reaching seven figures came as a surprise, but what excited him most were the additional perks of his titles: Plot Armor, Ultimate Adaptation, Divine Favor, and Harmonious Balance.
With his Harmonious Balance perk, all his senses and physical abilities had achieved perfect balance. This meant his body now had perfect strength, agility, dexterity, and constitution. His intelligence and wisdom were also perfectly balanced.
While it was a shame he couldn't use AP to increase his attributes anymore, he got over it quickly. The benefits of having perfectly balanced coordination and senses brought massive gains to his body.
Before the new status board, he felt that he couldn't use his full power due to imbalances in his stats. Now, with Harmonious Balance, these imbalances were eliminated, allowing him to bring out his full power and enhance it even further.
"System, what will happen to my leveling system? You know, I should call you something different. I can't just keep calling you 'System.' How about Celes?"
[ System Rebooting... Celes has been rebooted. Thank you for the name, Host.
The leveling system will adapt to a new format. You will still be rewarded with 6 UP. As the system adopts this new format, each time you level up, instead of receiving 12 AP and 6 UP, you will receive 120,000 SP and 6 UP.
Due to your Harmonious Balance, all your stats have been removed from the status board, and you can no longer use AP. ]
"I see, well. It was hard to track my stats with those imbalances, and I felt like I couldn't use my full potential," Tanjiro sighed in relief.
He had been worried it might cause problems for his body, but Celes didn't disappoint him. He thanked Muzan from the bottom of his heart for the rewards he received because of him.
"Now that the war between demons and humans has come to an end, conquering the world would be easier. But I wouldn't do that. Instead, I will make the Kamado family the ruling family of this world and ensure world peace even after I'm gone," Tanjiro thought, with many ideas popping into his mind.
Thinking about the future and the betterment of the world, he knew that only through his rule could true peace be achieved.
Fully aware of the wars humans could cause due to greed and envy, Tanjiro decided to eliminate such corruption with his iron-fisted family.
With newfound resolve, Tanjiro ran towards Mount Fujikasane to help Ubuyashiki Kagaya with his curse. Because of their connection to the original Muzan, the Ubuyashiki family was cursed by the world. This curse caused those who bore the Ubuyashiki name to suffer an incurable ailment, preventing them from becoming demon slayers, causing blindness as they neared the end of their lives, and ensuring they couldn't live past 30.
Due to a single mistake made by Muzan, the Ubuyashiki family endured this unfair treatment. Now, Tanjiro decided to lift this curse and make the Ubuyashiki family a collateral family for the Kamado clan. With their genius-level intellect, Tanjiro saw great potential in their alliance.
Though he was a good person, Tanjiro was also ambitious. He would do anything within his power to utilize available resources, but he wouldn't force the head of the Ubuyashiki family into submission. He wasn't a bad person; he embodied a virtuous paragon, and it was against his morals and code to force someone or something without their approval.
In just a few minutes, Tanjiro arrived at Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who was surrounded by his bodyguards.
"Heya, I'm Tanjiro Kamado at your service. I'm here to remove the curse that Muzan Kibutsuji caused to your family," Tanjiro said, moving instantaneously in front of Kagaya. He raised his arm and placed his hand above Kagaya's head.
A glowing white light appeared out of nowhere, and a black smoke emerged from atop Kagaya's head. The process took only a fraction of a second, leaving Kagaya's bodyguards too late to react.
As the World's Savior, Tanjiro had the ability to cure all diseases and curses within the Demon Slayer world, though this power was ineffective in other worlds.
Once the treatment was complete, Kagaya's bodyguards reacted by unsheathing their swords and pointing them at Tanjiro.
"No need to point those swords at me," Tanjiro said with a smile. "I'm just helping your boss here. Besides, I'm quite young. I'm only three years old this year. It would be embarrassing to see grown men beaten by a three-year-old, wouldn't it?"
Tanjiro grinned and waved his fist. Having left his sword at Muzan's tomb, he could only use his fists. Yet each time he waved his fist, a booming sound erupted. Like a bomb exploding, the force of his blows easily surpassed the speed of sound, creating mini sonic booms with every movement.
Seeing Tanjiro effortlessly creating sonic booms with each wave of his hand, the bodyguards couldn't bring themselves to attack. Ubuyashiki Kagaya observed Tanjiro with interest and gratitude. He was acutely aware of his deteriorating condition, and when Tanjiro placed his hand on his head, he felt his weakness fade away and his body fill with vigor.
Raising his hand, Kagaya signaled his bodyguards to stop and sheathe their swords.
"Kamado Tanjiro, right? I've heard about you from Sakonji-san. I didn't expect to meet you in such a unique way. There must be a reason you healed me," Kagaya said.
"As expected of the Ubuyashiki head," Tanjiro replied with a smile. "I'm pleased to meet you, Ubuyashiki Kagaya-san. Yes, I do have a proposal for you. What do you think about becoming a collateral family for my Kamado family?"
"Of course, you can decline my offer if you wish. But I would truly appreciate it if you don't. Also, Muzan has been killed by me, so the war between demons and humans has ended."
Tanjiro spoke about Muzan's defeat as though it were a matter of course. Upon hearing the news, the bodyguards and Kagaya experienced a whirlwind of emotions: elation, happiness, relief, doubt, and suspicion. However, their skepticism faded into acceptance when Tanjiro demonstrated his power by creating a mini sonic boom with his fist.
Tanjiro didn't dwell on the fact that their eardrums weren't damaged and instead focused on the most important part of the conversation.
"Is Muzan really dead? Does that mean the millennial war against demons has ended?" Ubuyashiki Kagaya asked in disbelief. It was hard for him to accept that Tanjiro had defeated and killed Muzan, who had lived for thousands of years.
"Yes, I can guarantee it. If you don't believe me, you can walk inside Mount Fujikasane. You'll find that there are no demons left at all. Killing the progenitor of demons means killing all the demons in the process," Tanjiro said, though he knew it was only partly true, as Tamayo and the demon she had created survived. Tamayo had broken free from Muzan's influence during his confrontation with Yorichi.
"I see. I trust you, Kamado Tanjiro-san. I swear upon my loyalty and the loyalty of the entire Ubuyashiki family to follow every order of the Kamado family," Kagaya said as he knelt before Tanjiro.
Tanjiro smiled sheepishly and helped Kagaya to his feet, shaking his hand with a bright grin. "That's good news, Kagaya-san. You won't regret your decision. Since you've chosen to become part of my family, I shall reward you with something—a watered-down version of my Celestial Breathing. You can call it Terrestrial Breathing or something similar.
With these, you will acquire an eternal lifespan, along with a strength beyond your imagination. You will also gain an energy that grants you unimaginable power to harness."
"Since we're done here, I'll give you the address of where I live. Go to Mount Kumotori and ask the locals about the Kamado Family. You'll recognize them by their appearance. My father's name is Tanjuro Kamado, and my mother's name is Kei Kamado. I have two siblings: Nezuko and Takeo.
I've got to go; I have something to take care of."
Without waiting for Kagaya to respond, Tanjiro vanished. This time, Kagaya managed to catch a glimpse of Tanjiro's movement due to the watered-down version of Celestial Breathing.
"Tanjiro... Thank you," Kagaya said from the bottom of his heart. Finally, after thousands of years, the terror of demons had ended, and Japan could breathe a sigh of relief. The constant fear of being devoured by flesh-eating demons was gone.
With the demons gone, Kagaya felt that the effort and time the Ubuyashiki family had invested were worth it. Becoming Tanjiro's vassal family was a small price to pay for being part of the victory over Muzan and the end of the war.

As Tanjiro traveled, he diligently searched for any demons that might have survived Muzan's defeat. Minutes turned into hours, and hours into days, but Tanjiro remained resolute in his quest. Along the way, he helped anyone in need, no matter how small or large the request.
At one point, he encountered a boy his age living on a mountain with a boar, whom he recognized as Inosuke. Without hesitation, Tanjiro shared his knowledge of Beast Breathing with him. He also provided Inosuke with clothing and food while ensuring the mother boar remained healthy by using Beast Breathing to help her.
Introducing a breathing style to an animal had unexpected consequences. Though the boar could only use the breathing style instinctively, it was a formidable force in the wild. With its new abilities, the mother boar could defeat any creature that crossed its path, using its tusks with deadly precision. Protective of its offspring and territory, it became a powerful guardian, ensuring no intruder would survive an encounter.
Continuing his journey, Tanjiro covered all of Japan and also managed to meet with Tamayo. Through his persuasion and charisma, he convinced her to join the Kamado Family as an attendant.
Upon confirming that there were no more demons, Tanjiro decided to return home and finally relax. He planned to stay in this world until it reached the 20th century. During this time, he would mostly laze around and spar occasionally to keep his body in shape.
Upon returning home, Tanjiro was warmly greeted with a hug from Kei and Nezuko, and a ruffle on the head from Tanjuro, who wore a proud smile. After the joyful reunion, Tanjiro faced the backlash of deceiving his mother and received a thorough reprimand.
Tanjuro watched from the sidelines while Nezuko and Takeo giggled, enjoying the sight of their brother being scolded by their mother. Overall, it was a happy ending for Tanjiro and his family, and for the world.

Year 2022
A hundred years had passed since then, in a tall tower adorned with a symbol called the Celestial Mandala. This symbol featured a deep blue central circle with light blue to white radiating lines evenly spread out, a purple lotus petal in the center, scattered golden stars along the edges, and an emerald green outer ring.
This emblem represents the Celestial Breathing and is also the symbol of the Kamado Family and its Vassal Family.
As Tanjiro gazed at the city lights with a glass of red wine in hand, he smiled slightly.
"A hundred years have passed since then—one hundred seventeen, to be exact. I was just a young kid who defeated the most powerful demon, and now, I've become a fine young man who still retains the youth of ages past," Tanjiro said, looking down at the bustling city.
He had built and developed the city to its current state—a place of prosperity and peace, where no one starves and resources are used wisely.
Over the past century, Tanjiro and the Kamado family had become the strongest and most formidable force in the world. No one could challenge them; even other countries were submissive to their power.
Through his rule, Tanjiro achieved his dream of a world free from war. By advocating for a peaceful world where everyone could be happy and worry-free, he realized his vision.
Now, he can confidently say that the world will manage on its own. With his family in place, no human would ever entertain the thought of destroying what he built.
The Ubuyashiki Family, the Celestial Corps led by Tamayo—who invented much of the technology and medicine—and the Hashira Families, who serve as vassals to the Kamado Family, all contribute to this formidable force.
With such powerful and diverse abilities at their disposal, no one dares to challenge this behemoth.
Over the past hundred years, Tanjiro reconnected with key figures from his past. Inosuke, Genya, Zenitsu, and Kanao Tsuyuri became his best friends. His first encounter with Zenitsu and Nezuko was particularly memorable, as Zenitsu would fall silent in Nezuko's presence.
Zenitsu followed Nezuko like a devoted puppy, even becoming fiercely protective of her against anyone who approached. Although Nezuko didn't really need such protection, she indulged him as a form of amusement. They remained inseparable, like magnets drawn together by an unbreakable force.
He also became best friends with Kenji Rengoku, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Saito Ryo. Though he initially didn't know their impact, these three, when together, felt like siblings raised in a loving home. They bickered, fought for fun, and shared everything they had.
Overall, protecting his life's work over the past hundred years was crucial to him. However, he did witness some of his descendants straying from the path. To address this, he established strict regulations within the system: those who went astray were stripped of their powers, retaining only their eternal lifespan, and were disciplined rigorously.
Any ill intent toward harming innocent lives triggered an automatic removal of their powers before they could act. The disciplinarians acted swiftly, apprehending and thoroughly correcting those who deviated, ensuring they would not repeat their offenses.
"Today is finally the day I leave this world. To think I would achieve all of this with all my power. I am happy—happy to witness such prosperity.
Celes, initiate the traversal dimension and randomize it," Tanjiro said, reflecting on how he had done everything in his power to ensure that the Kamado family would remain at the top.
[ "Initiating randomized traversal... Randomized traversal successful. The world has been selected. Please enter the portal host." ]
Tanjiro looked at the newly created portal, a light smile on his face and his heart racing with excitement. With a confident step, he placed his foot inside the portal. A blinding light erupted, enveloping his entire being.
This marked a new beginning for Tanjiro Kamado in a new world.
