Conquer the world, young man!
Page 46
The Moon Goddess no longer minded Totsuka's uninvited arrival; in fact, she felt a mixture of curiosity and secret delight. As an unpopular deity, she had been constantly searching for a place to belong since birth. If only she could have a companion… But now, the Moon Goddess was merely the first one she had encountered. If she met any other deity, perhaps…
The little monsters following behind Totsuka kept a distance and secretly observed them.
Futsuki glanced back and said to Totsuka, "It seems you're starting to have followers."
Totsuka chuckled softly, "But I didn't bless them, I didn't do anything for them."
“Sometimes, faith is more important than sacrifice.” As the Moon Goddess said this, she led Totsuki to a simple shrine.
As Totsuki looked around at the place, a slight, mocking smile appeared on her lips. "Don't you find it a bit ridiculous that a god lives here?"
Shishu tilted his head. "It's been a long time since anyone cleaned this place. Actually, if it were cleaned properly, it would be a nice place." After all, this ancestral hall is quite sturdy and can provide shelter from the wind and rain without any problems.
Looking at Totsuka, the God of the Moon suddenly felt a desire to learn more about this deity. Seeing how indifferent he seemed to be to external things, it was as if his past troubles and struggles were nothing to worry about.
Just as Totsuka was about to start cleaning, the little monsters following behind him finally popped out and started chattering away.
"My lady, let us do it!" A bold little demon spoke first. The little demon glanced at the Moon Goddess and then quickly said, "Lord Moon Goddess, please allow us to start cleaning."
The little monsters behind them quickly added, "My lord, we are little monsters from Mount Misumi. This land has not seen any other deities for a long time. Please allow us to do our part!"
"Yes, yes, if only Your Excellency could stay on this land!" The lesser demons, who had lived here for countless years, knew this deity was different from the moment he descended. In truth, even the Moon Goddess was an unapproachable deity in their eyes, and his abilities commanded their deepest respect. But this deity made them feel warmth; they had never seen a god so approachable before.
Totsuka glanced at the Moon God and, seeing that he didn't say anything, smiled at the little monsters and said, "Then thank you for your help."
The little monsters immediately bounced back, saying, "It's not troublesome at all!"
Immediately, the shrine, which had been covered in dust, became clean and tidy thanks to the efforts of the yokai. Some of the little yokai even brought out a large bed from somewhere and placed it inside the shrine. Futons and straw stacks were also laid out on the ground, and after learning that Totsuka was the harvest god, Toki-no-Kami, the little yokai began to call him "Lord Toki-no-Kami" one by one.
Watching Toyotsuki get along so well with the little yokai, the Moon Goddess felt a touch stir in her previously cold heart, and it began to soften. It seemed that their lives had already changed after just their first encounter.
[Completion rate of the main quest "Conquer the God of the Land of Desolation, the God of the Moonless" (10/100)]
After hearing the system's reminder, Totsuka looked up at the aloof young man standing to the side, a smile playing on his lips. In truth, this god wasn't entirely cold-hearted.
"Can you tell me what interesting things have happened here?" Totsuka asked the little monsters surrounding him, sitting on the futon.
What was the world like a thousand years ago? Even though he was tricked into this place by the system, Totsuka will try his best to find some fun.
The little monsters thought for a moment, and then spoke up one by one, "If there's anything big happening right now, it's that monsters from foreign lands have appeared."
"Yes, that foreign monster has already killed many monsters. Fortunately, we are hiding in the Misumi Mountains, and Lord Fuyuki is here, so we are safe."
"I heard from the yokai in Kyoto that Seimei's grandson is now dealing with yokai from a foreign land."
The little monsters spoke one by one, all harboring fear of the monster from that foreign land.
Totsuka, however, felt something was amiss the more she listened. "Seimei is...?"
"That's the most famous Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei. The Emperor values him highly." The little monsters had heard of Abe no Seimei's name before. "The Abe clan is very powerful. They should be able to deal with that foreign monster, right?"
Totsuka rested his chin on his hand, realizing it was actually the Heian period. He really wanted to meet the historically renowned Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei.
Mr. Lin had told him before that the Yin-Yang techniques he taught were only the basics, and that if it were Abe no Seimei, his abilities would be far superior.
It seemed she had found something to enjoy. Totsuka smiled slightly, turned to look at Fuyuki, and said, "Hey, Fuyuki, would you like to go down to Misumi Mountain for a visit?"
The Moon Goddess lowered her eyes and said softly, "It's alright to go."
"Lord Toyotsuki, Lord Bugetsuki, are you going to leave here?" The little monsters immediately became worried and anxiously asked, surrounding Totsuka.
"We're just going to take a look, we'll be back." Totsuka reassured them, then smiled and said, "I also know basic defensive formations, I'll set up a barrier in this shrine before we leave. If there's any danger, you can hide inside."
The little monsters immediately burst into tears, their reverence for the Goddess Fengyue soaring even higher. "Thank you, Lady Fengyue!"
Totsuka looked at the casual shirt he was wearing when he came over, and then at the black kimono that Futsuki was wearing. It seemed that if he wanted to go down the mountain, he would first need to get a kimono.
[Exquisite kimono, exquisite kimono, originally priced at 1000 points, now only 299! Only 299! For 299 you can get high quality and a great style. What are you waiting for? Redeem it now!]
Shizuku was pierced by the system's demonic voice in his mind: "Are you doing a TV shopping show? Seriously! System, what exactly are you watching every day?!"
[They're really looking out for you. Everything produced by this system has been certified by the legendary Tom Sue. Why don't you redeem it, host?]
"Exchange it," Shishu thought, not wanting the system constantly pushing it in her head.
[Kimono redemption successful. As you are the first person to redeem this item, you are entitled to a special discount: only 250 points will be deducted, leaving you with 7250 points.]
"System, you've even learned how to do promotions now." Totsuka's lips twitched as he took out a kimono from his system inventory.
This was his first time wearing a kimono, and this one had a white lining and a light purple outer layer. Just looking at it, he thought it was very beautiful. "I didn't expect the system to have such good taste," Totsuka thought to himself, secretly praising the system.
[Hehe, host, you have a discerning eye! Here's a pair of wooden clogs for you too, they'll match perfectly!]
Fuyuki wasn't curious about Totsuka's ability to produce things directly; it was only now that he noticed the boy's strange attire. Initially attracted by the boy's aura, he forgot to pay attention to anything else.
"Fuzuki, can you do me a favor?" Totsuka unfolded the kimono in her hand and smiled.
Looking at the boy's appearance, Bu Yue nodded for some reason.
Totsuka waved and walked to the back of the shrine. She unfolded the kimono in her hand and tossed the outer one to Fuyuki. "I'm not very good at wearing kimonos yet. If there's anything wrong with it, please help me, Fuyuki."
As a result, the young Bu Yue witnessed firsthand this golden-haired Feng Yue god remove his strange attire and begin dressing naked right in front of him. After just one glance, Bu Yue blushed and turned away. This Feng Yue god was truly… utterly oblivious to danger!
After finally managing to put on her inner lining, Totsuka looked up and saw Tsukijin turned to the side, her ears flushed. She couldn't help but chuckle; she was clearly still a child, and they were all boys, yet she was still shy.
"Fuyuki, do you think I'm dressed correctly?" Totsuka turned around so Fuyuki could see the ties behind him. "What's with these ties?"
The Moon Goddess turned her face, the heat still lingering on her cheeks, and saw that it was indeed the boy's first time wearing a kimono; he had even tied the sash incorrectly. She stepped forward and retied the sash. She then helped him put on the outer garment as well and tidied it up.
Totsuka turned around, put on the wooden clogs, shook her sleeves, blinked, and asked, "How is it?"
Bu Yue gave a light snort, turned around and walked towards the front of the ancestral hall. He would never say that the boy looked absolutely...beautiful in his kimono.
The author has something to say: I transmigrated, which is to lay the groundwork for future plot developments~~ And the plot involving the Moon Goddess is completely original.
Thanks to [Waiting for the Clouds to Bite and Kill], [Lost Cat], [Qingxiao], and [Old Na's Gay Adventures] for the thunderous comments! *smack smack*
Chapter 67067 Ping An Jing
They rested at the ancestral hall that night. Totsuka slept on the large bed prepared by the monsters, while Fuyuki flew directly to the roof to sleep. Totsuka asked him to sleep on the bed with her, but Fuyuki refused.
Perhaps it's because Fuyuki is too shy? Totsuka thought to herself, and then fell asleep with a smile.
The next morning, upon waking, I went to the mountain stream to drink some water, and the lush green forest was truly refreshing. The little monsters had picked some fresh fruit from somewhere, and after washing them clean, they gave some to Fuyuki to try.
"Is this considered an offering?" Bu Yue picked up the fruit and took a bite, her smile no longer as cold as it had been at the beginning.
Shishu nodded and took a bite as well. "Mmm, so sweet."
"This is the first time I've received an offering." Bu Yue looked at the fruit in her hand, then at the boy happily eating beside her, and began to speak slowly. "From the moment I was born, I thought that people would definitely hate a god like me. Even those little monsters would run far away from me. Despite being an unappreciated god, my abilities have never diminished; on the contrary, they have only grown. Sometimes, thinking about it, it's really quite interesting..."
"That only proves that you are someone they have high hopes for." Totsuka wiped her mouth and smiled. "Actually, those little monsters have always admired you from the bottom of their hearts, and the power you possess is also the reason for their respect. It's just that you're probably used to being alone, always wearing a cold face wherever you go, so how could they dare to get close to you?"
Bu Yue was somewhat surprised, then lowered her eyes. "How could that be? I am clearly the God of Earth's Depletion. People yearn for a bountiful harvest. If I were here, I would only disappoint them."
"So do you think I'm strong?" Totsuka pointed to himself and asked.
“You?” Bu Yue looked at Shi Shu and shook her head. “You’re extremely weak. Even a little river god is stronger than you.”
Totsuka shook her head and placed her hand on Fuyuki's heart. "I feel that even though I am weak, I am stronger than you."
Bu Yue did not stop Totsuka's actions. On the contrary, when the boy made this move, he was completely unprepared. "Why?"
“Because of your heart.” Totsuka smiled gently. “You’ve been denying yourself. The fact that you’re already in this world proves that you’re expected to be here. Only a strong heart can make you truly grow. In this respect, you can’t compare to me.”
Bu Yue was stunned. This was the first time anyone had ever spoken to him like this since he was born. His heart felt warm, as if touched by the hand, and a faint heat rose within him.
Totsuka withdrew her hand and placed the remaining fruit in Fuyuki's arms. "These are also the little monsters' kind wishes. After we finish eating, let's go to Kyoto for a stroll."
Holding the fruit, Bu Yue finally smiled with relief. Perhaps... he was right.
[Regarding the main quest: Conquer the God of Earth and Moon, completion rate (30/100). The host's action is good, thumbs up!]
Shi Shu smiled slightly. He just felt there was no need to wallow in self-pity. After all, there was nothing that couldn't be resolved.
After bidding farewell to the little yokai of Misumi Mountain, Totsuka and Futsuki embarked on their journey to Kyoto. Totsuka had initially thought it would take quite a while, but Futsuki scoffed at his decision to walk, then pulled Totsuka along and with a 'whoosh,' flew into the sky.
"Amazing!" This was Totsuka's first time flying in the sky. She held onto Fuyuki's arm tightly, enjoying the feeling of being blown by the wind.
Bu Yue glanced at Shi Shu and said, "How can there be a god like you? If anyone knew that the god of harvest was like this, they would be disappointed."
Totsuka glared at Fuyuki; this guy was completely looking down on him. As a human, he was used to walking; flying was a completely foreign concept to him.
[When acting as the God of Abundance, the host can activate the following skills using the skill panel: 1. Flight (essential for gods), 2. Intimidation (possesses divine intimidation against malevolent monsters), 3. Control of Harvests (strength enhanced when someone prays for a bountiful harvest), 4. Concealment (can be seen by humans with powerful spiritual energy)]
The system is only telling him this now, but the key is that these skills seem so useless. Totsuka feels like he's been tricked by the system; is this god actually completely powerless?
Totsuka glanced at the information on the Moon Goddess and realized that although they were both gods, the differences between them were so great.
Name: Bu Yue
Sex: Male
Age: Unknown (cannot be calculated)
Race: God
Title: God of the Barren Earth
Overall attribute rating: SS level
Abilities: A god who controls the earth, possessing immense power and influence; when his rage reaches its peak, he can destroy the entire land.
Totsuka recalled his primary mission in this world: conquering the world. The system should probably assign this mission to Fuyuki. Of course, if it were Fuyuki, destroying the world seemed equally feasible.
[Main quest: Conquer the world, host has completed (30/100), looks like I need to work harder!]
Having completed so many missions, it seems none of them are related to conquering the world! Totsuka wanted to ask the system what was going on, but Bu Yue had already landed him on the ground.
"Is this Kyoto?" Totsuka looked around. All the houses were in the style of ancient Japanese houses, and now that he was concealing himself, the people passing by couldn't see him and Fuyuki at all.
"This is the Bureau of Yin and Yang." Fuyuki glanced at the hand that had released his arm since they landed and explained, "Didn't you want to see Abe no Seimei?"
"Could these people be Onmyoji?" Totsuka reached out to those who walked right past him without him noticing. "If they were Onmyoji, they should have been able to see us."
Fuyuki scoffed, "Not everyone has Abe's talent and ability. With these people's abilities, they probably can't even see a monster."
Totsuka nodded, surprised that the ancient Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) looked like this. The Onmyōji wore tall eboshi hats and hunting robes, which indeed matched the image of Onmyōji seen in movies. Furthermore, the Onmyōryō was divided into different positions and categories, with some responsible for astronomy and calendar making, others for predicting auspicious omens and performing rituals.
"Would Abe no Seimei be here?" Totsuka looked around at the people, but didn't find anything that required special attention.
Bu Yue shook her head. "I can't sense any particularly strong spiritual energy, but..." Bu Yue's gaze suddenly fell on one of the rooms in the Yin-Yang Bureau. "There is one here, no, there's another one..."
Totsuka immediately walked in the direction Fuyuki was looking, waved and said, "Then let's go inside and take a look."
Bu Yue followed behind, watching the boy happily walk into the house. Even though he didn't have much affection for humans to begin with, he seemed to be infected by the boy's mood. Perhaps, he might just meet an interesting fellow.
As soon as Totsuka entered the room, he was immediately drawn to a little demon with long rabbit ears and a long tail. But unlike ordinary little demons, this little demon clearly had a divine aura about it.
