Chapter 2585 The Ancient Contract
"Boom!!!" A deafening roar came from the sky. The giant sword pierced the golden shield, but only caused a violent ripple. The shield did not break.

A rich and exotic fragrance filled the air above...

"It still doesn't work!!!" Honda Tadakatsu's voice rang out in the sky.

The armored giant was caught in the recoil and slammed heavily onto the plaza...

The emergence of a famous Japanese general is presented like a joke...

"That's it?" Guo Jia and the others who were watching the spectacle were also stunned and speechless.

“It seems they don’t have much to offer…we were disappointed…” Xun You shrugged.

The crowd, their faces showing disappointment, continued to watch the game.

……

After the battle began in the sacrificial plaza, the intense fluctuations reverberated in all directions. Fearless players had already approached and started their live streams.

The situation of Honda Tadakatsu and others also spread very quickly.

Inside Edo Castle, in a familiar shrine that Wakabayashi Maki would surely recognize, the list of the gods of Japan, with Oda Nobunaga, at the top of the list, [God's Illumination], keeps a close eye on the developments of the sacrificial plaza.

Like Li Ru, they utilized the extraordinary power bestowed upon them by the supernatural (communication system).

"It cannot be broken; that is the power of incense. If the power does not exceed it, it cannot cause damage. Its resilience is as strong as the power of faith," Oda Nobunaga murmured after receiving the message.

"Send messages to all directions, inquire about the progress!" Oda Nobunaga ordered a player next to him.

"Yes, Master." The player nodded respectfully and immediately contacted the other players.

"Uesugi Kenshin, Honda Tadakatsu, and the others cannot die, at least not at the hands of Orochi and Hayashi Maki!" Oda Nobunaga muttered to himself, his eyes lowered.

"Reporting to the patriarch, all 139 clan chiefs have responded and are ready!" the player said ecstatically.

“Then… the Great Japanese Empire Glory Plan can begin!” Oda Nobunaga stood up abruptly and said in a powerful voice.

"Yes!" The player was overjoyed and immediately began sending a message.

The so-called Great Japanese Empire Glory Plan is actually about destroying the faith of the Yamata no Orochi and forging a samurai spirit nation belonging to the Japanese people.

The 139 clan chiefs actually included all the rulers of the vassal states.

Even the lord of Noto, whose capital had been completely destroyed by Lin Mu, defied public opinion and eradicated the Yamata no Orochi faith within Noto.

The main purpose of this plan is to destroy all the temples and shrines, and kill the temple priests and fanatics.

Destroy all temples and shrines, even small temples built in rural areas, or even roadside temples built by villagers in the mountains. Any temple that worships the Yamata no Orochi should be completely destroyed.

Those temple priests were directly labeled as evil executioners.

Because the evil deeds of the Yamata no Orochi were exposed under the manipulation of the rulers of various countries, the fanatics and temple priests were naturally the first to be affected.

The blood sacrifice alone was carried out countless times, and countless Japanese people were devoured by the Yamata no Orochi.

The rulers of various countries downplayed the severity of the situation, placing all the blame on the Yamata no Orochi and portraying themselves as victims, coerced by the serpent and forced to act against their will.

And so, the national guardian beast, worshipped by all, began to become utterly infamous today.

The foundation of the people's faith began to crumble.

In fact, Yamata no Orochi did put a lot of effort into developing his faith on the island of Toyo.

One reason why Mount Fuji became like that is because the Yamata no Orochi (or Yamata no Orochi) plundered the mountain's resources, depleting them to the point of exhaustion, and then distributed the resources to the believers and temple keeper.

The ability to build temples in every city, as well as numerous shrines, and small temples in villages, is largely the result of the efforts of the Yamata no Orochi.

Unlike the dragons, the Yamata no Orochi is not greedy and hoards wealth; instead, it distributes its wealth, making it rather unconventional.

Its blood sacrifice was out of necessity, because the islands of Japan were too backward and could only rely on the most primitive methods to plunder human power.

Two of the national treasures of the Japanese islands were brought here by it.

In order to intimidate the local clans, Orochi placed the unsealed Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror) in the first country it landed on the island.

These national treasures, to a certain extent, protected the fortune of the Kingdom of Japan, allowing it to gradually develop into its current prosperous state.

Therefore, although the Yamata no Orochi had its faults, its merits far outweighed its demerits. Its greatest contribution was bringing certain things from Xu Fu to the islands, enabling their rapid development and ultimately leading to the glorious Warring States period of Japan.

The contributions of the Yamata no Orochi to the Japanese islands were gradually diminished by the Japanese themselves. They were aware of the Yamata no Orochi's contributions and the heavenly merits it possessed, but the fact that the Yamata no Orochi was not a native inhabitant was also recorded in their family traditions…

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

Therefore, in order to legitimize Japan, various methods were used to bury its achievements in the tide of history...

The Yamata no Orochi, believing the clan heads to be so respectful and accommodating, ceased controlling the common people and instead relied on the clans to govern Japan. All of this was, in reality, a way to lull it into a false sense of security.

This... just a single national decree caused the collapse of an immensely powerful faith-based nation.

As for its contributions to Japan, they have long been swept into the dustbin of history!

……

On the cliff of the Fuji Tenzan sacrificial plaza, Guo Jia and the others were intently observing the situation below.

"What's going on? Why are you still here even though the fighting has already started?" At this moment, Lord Lin Mu's familiar voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Dian Wei carrying Lin Mu, rushing down the mountain covered in dust.

Lin Mu was not as fast as Dian Wei, so in order to get down as quickly as possible, he ended up being carried around like Ji Beiqin...

"Look for yourself..." Guo Jia gestured with a strange expression to Lin Mu to look down.

Lin Mu looked down and saw an extremely eye-catching armored giant fighting against an equally enormous blood shadow.

There was also a slightly smaller white crane pecking at it nearby...

This scene left Lin Mu somewhat bewildered...

"How did the Yamata no Orochi get into a fight with a famous Japanese general?" Huang Zhong asked first, expressing his confusion.

"The Yamata no Orochi wants to sacrifice them all," Xu Yuan explained.

"Oh...I see." Lin Mu suddenly realized.

Lin Mu wasn't surprised at all that a dogfight would break out like this. After all, this was... Japan!
"Whoosh!!!" At this moment, Zhao Yun and the others started another round of launching.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong joined in, directly causing a huge impact on the Yamata no Orochi below.

The Yamata no Orochi seemed to know that the harasser was Lin Mu's man, but it was neither angry nor retaliating. Instead, it kept stalling... As long as it wore down Uesugi Kenshin and the others and devoured them, everything would be reversed!

However, just when Orochi thought everything was going smoothly, the incredibly tough golden shield, which was filled with a strong fragrance, began to have problems.

Cracks began to appear on the golden, sacred shield, and from within the cracks came continuous, tragic roars!
That was... the roar of a fanatic... and the temple keeper of the Serpent Warrior class!!
They are facing annihilation!

This is what Yamata no Orochi sensed.

"Bang!~~~" The next moment, the incredibly tough golden shield shattered into countless energies with a loud crack and disappeared.

Not only that, but the strong fragrance in the sacrificial plaza was gradually disappearing...

The power of faith and incense accumulated by Yamata no Orochi is being continuously depleted...

"You...you...how dare you do this!!! Roar!!!~~~ You heartless bastards!!! Ungrateful!!!!" The roar of the Yamata no Orochi echoed in the sky.

Orochi finally realized that the clans were the ones who betrayed him!
It's important to know that many clans were essentially established and supported by it. Some clans, long, long ago, were originally just farmers in the mountains, or even beggars or wandering samurai... They were simply chosen by it and supported to become prominent clans in Japan.

Instead of being grateful and thankful, they betray you. How can you prevent them from losing all hope?

"Hahahaha! ~~~~ But it's all good, the original covenant between heaven and earth can now take effect..." After a period of grief, the Yamata no Orochi suddenly roared, its six heads surging upwards.

Just as Yamata no Orochi had said, a dazzling light descended from the sky.

Amidst the radiance, an ancient contract scroll slowly unfolded.

"Quickly... activate the formation!" Lin Mu shouted urgently.

Xu Yuan didn't ask for a reason and started casting the spell directly.
