Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

However, just a few years ago, during a major spiritual disaster, the Nanaya family's exorcists suffered heavy losses, including Nanaya Saki's mother.

It is said that the Crescent Moon Ninja sabotaged the operation.

This group of ninjas has completely changed their path during the long period of spiritual dormancy, and they are showing signs of joining the evil path, or even demons. It is because of the deep-seated hatred between them that Nanaya Saki harbors such great resentment towards the New Moon Ninjas.

Her father still had some conscience. Knowing that he couldn't let his daughter stay any longer, he secretly made a deal, persuading the rest of the family to arrange for Nanaya Saki to leave the family and go overseas to study in America.

Her father, Nanaya Eishi, tried his best to compensate his guilty daughter with money and extraordinary resources. So Nanaya Saki's days with Ami weren't too difficult.

Normally, she would never set foot in Japan again in her entire life, and the Shichiya family would simply pretend that she never existed.

Although coming to Ame was almost like losing her father after losing her mother, these four years were undoubtedly the most carefree time that Nanaya Saki had ever experienced.

Here, there are no strange looks, and you don't have to be cautious or timid. You can do what you want and read whatever you want.

He also made friends with Zhao Hao, Gou Quan, Fatty, and others, and even went on a series of battles and adventures.

These were things she had never dared to imagine before. Nanaya Saki had always happily enjoyed these things.

Unexpectedly, due to internal strife within Ame, they were forced to return.

The moment Nanaya Saki stepped off the plane and onto Japanese soil again, it felt as if countless chains were binding her.

When she stepped back into the Seven Nights' residence, her heart felt as if it were bound by countless chains.

A heart is locked up again.

Her life is over!

Now that we've returned home, as family members, we should naturally strive for the family's interests.

She had only stayed at home for a few days when her family arranged a marriage for her with the second son of the Kanda family, one of the four great families that exorcise demons.

After all, Nanaya Saki's strength is already at the peak of Black Iron 5-star, befitting a transcendent being with demon blood. He's still quite valuable, and the Kanda family wouldn't mind sending out a second son from a concubine to try their luck. What if a genius emerges!

The Kanda and Nanaya families have both chosen to support the Second Prince, and now is the time to strengthen their ties and forge a new alliance.

Looking at her father's complex expression, Nanaya Saki smiled and agreed like a delicate doll, her eyes remaining completely unchanged. Then she quietly waited for the wedding day.

Some of Amei's experiences seemed to have been sealed away in a remote corner of his heart, preventing them from resurfacing.

Just like Nanaya Saki herself, who was suffocating under the weight of this 500-year-old ancestral home, they all turned into insignificant, helpless dust.

However, this afternoon, news suddenly came from Heian-kyo that a spiritual disaster had broken out and that they were actively dealing with it.

Then it quickly turned into the forces led by three Bronze-level Great Demons: Shuten-dōji's Mount Ōe, the Flying Moth Group of the Flying Moths, and an unknown demon, who wanted to seize the spiritual vein node of the Heian-kyō.

Although Heian-kyo is no longer Kyoto, the thousand-year-old spiritual vein array within Inner Heian-kyo still concerns the safety of the entire western part of Honshu Island.

Although many local forces have already mobilized, the Kyoto and Edo regions are still discussing sending reinforcements to ensure everything goes smoothly.

After all, the enemy is a demon force led by three great monsters, which should not be underestimated.

While they were still having a meeting and arguing, news came that the demons' real target was actually the divine identity of Ōkuninushi who had appeared in the inner city of Heian-kyo!

The news of the divine status of the Great Lord of the Nation caused a stir throughout Kyoto. Even the old and frail Emperor summoned the top minister of Yin and Yang to discuss the matter.

Finally, it was decided to send two princes with the extraordinary individuals to Heian-kyo to reclaim the divine status of Ōkuninushi.

Basically, whoever regains the divine status of Ōkuninushi determines who will inherit the throne of the Emperor.

As supporters of the Second Prince, the Qiye family naturally had to contribute their efforts and manpower at this crucial moment.

As a Black Iron 5-star, Nanaya Saki is also one of the top combat forces of the Nanaya family.

“Saki, the Grand Elder wants you to follow me and serve the Second Prince.” A hint of dissatisfaction was evident in Nanaya Eiji’s eyes.

This operation will be extremely dangerous, yet the elder insisted that Nanaya Saki join the mission, his icy tone treating Nanaya Saki as if she were some kind of supernatural tool!

Nanaya Saki had lost a lot of weight by this time, but she still smiled gently and said, "Your daughter is willing to serve the family..."

Nanaya Eishi sighed deeply, then got up and left.

Soon, the two princes each brought their own belongings and split up to head towards Heian-kyo.

However, no sooner had they arrived than an unexpected incident occurred, before they even had a chance to make contact with the local supernatural forces led by the old priest of Ise Grand Shrine…

Zhao Hao really enjoyed that punch.

Thanks to taking a huge, huge wave of damage, he almost unleashed the full power of his Magnetic Field Rotation - Deliberate Bombardment Fist!

Absolute true damage, representing the most primal chaotic spiritual energy invasion, not only turned everything along the way to ashes, but even shattered the already unstable barrier between the inner and outer worlds due to the spiritual disaster!

This incident had a significant impact, directly affecting the situation in Heian-kyo.

It could be said that a spiritual vein node almost "drifted" because of this punch!

This turn of events was beyond everyone's expectations.

It seems that neither Kisomi and Hoshino Hiroshi, who were under the command of Yamata no Orochi, anticipated this, nor did Shuten-dōji, who released Kennyo of Honganji to the surface world to stir up a spiritual disaster and attract attention. Even Zhao Hao himself did not anticipate it.

Who knew the environment here was so fragile!

You guys are fighting inside, and I'm fighting outside. How can we possibly create resonance?!

The massive amount of spiritual energy from the inner city of Heian-kyo surged into the outer world through the twenty-meter-diameter opening, like a flood.

Normally, this phenomenon doesn't need to be addressed, nor can it be controlled. Whether it takes a few hours or a few tens of minutes, the barrier will repair itself.

As a result, in the other world, it was a case of human brains fighting like dogs; the spiritual vein node not only failed to provide protection but also vibrated violently, causing it to float away completely.

As the mastermind behind it all, it was Kirimi who lured Shuten-dōji and his group into the mess, and also who released the news about Ōkuninushi's divine status.

Compared to the others, Kirimi was the first to react, immediately deciding to advance the plan, shattering a stone in his hand, and briefly breaking the barrier between the underworld and Yomotsu Hirasaka.

He directly brought Heian-kyo and everything around it—Mount Oe, the Moth Clan, the Nine-Tailed Daji, the two princes…—all of them closer to the Underworld!

The entire Heian-kyo has fallen into the underworld.

How could those two princes have foreseen these things?

As soon as he teleported down, he got hit by Mordekaiser's Q, E, and ultimate!

Now, in that part of the Inner World, a giant crater has appeared, with chaotic and tangled psionic energy intertwined, as if the end of the world is about to occur!

……

Zhao Hao, who was in charge of killing but not of burying, had just modified a Shinkansen bullet train and wanted to show off and run away, but he didn't expect to receive such bad news.

Why even bother going to Kyoto? Let's just go to the Underworld!

With Nanaya Saki's strength not even reaching the Bronze level, his situation in the Underworld is truly precarious. If he goes too late, it could really be a permanent farewell!

If someone dies in the underworld, there's no way to bring them back to life!

Change destination!

Zhao Hao: "Happy Wind Man, changing destination! Target: Yomi Hisaka Ryo, let's go! (Referring to Li Yunlong shouting 'Fire!')"

The cheerful male driver was anything but happy at this moment. His two large headlights seemed to be squeezing out two pools of clear tears as he gave a tearful salute: "Roger that, destination: Yellow Springs! Departure!"

Happy Wind Male: I never imagined my debut would be my last! Drive! Drive to the Yellow Springs! Forward without hesitation!

Just as Zhao Hao was riding the Happy Wind Man towards the Yellow Springs, Mount Fuji in the world began to tremble.

The Prime Minister received an analysis report saying that Mount Fuji might erupt?!

The Prime Minister was immediately sweating profusely. "Meeting! Immediately! Summon cabinet members, summon members of parliament!"

Japan initially followed the same path as China, holding large and small meetings, summary meetings, commendation meetings, study meetings, and spirit dissemination meetings... It's estimated that by the time the lava flowed to Kyoto, a decision could only be made amidst the tug-of-war between various parties.

Although Japan eliminated many of its problems during the Meiji Restoration and evolved from a rigid feudal dynasty into a semi-modern nation, many fundamental issues remain unresolved, and may even have worsened.

Today, some scholars in Japan describe it this way: although it looks modern, and in just over ten years it will be the 21st century, Japan is still in the Warring States period, only with bloodless battles.

The reason for this is that, in the eyes of the central government, all counties in various regions are actually equal.

If a local official is truly assertive, he can ignore you and even respond with domineering force.

Doesn't this sound a lot like Amei's stepfather?

This is similar to the various powerful lords of the Warring States period, who were only subject to orders, not proclamations. The extent to which they could mobilize depended entirely on the capabilities of the prime minister and cabinet. If a prime minister was incompetent, nothing could be accomplished nationwide.

Besides these, another major problem persisted: the Shogunate!

That's right. Although there was an anti-shogunate movement, there was, after all, an extraordinary force at play. Was the shogunate really so easily overthrown? While compromises ultimately led to the current Japan, the shogun was merely a figurehead.

Although its influence in the surface world has declined significantly, in terms of extraordinary power in the inner world, the Shogunate is even stronger than the Cabinet.

Now that the divine status of the Great God of the Ninja Ōkuninushi has appeared, the Shogun of the Shogunate cannot turn a blind eye to it.

In fact, at this time, people from the shogunate were already secretly involved.

……

Zhao Hao, riding the Happy Wind Man, had just arrived in the Otherworld when he saw the Otherworld Heian-kyo, where a giant sinkhole had been left behind.

There should have been a fairly large city here, but now there's nothing left.

The pit is filled with chaotic and disordered psionic energy, which is extremely dangerous. Given the strength of the Happy Wind Man character, it's impossible for him to travel through this to the Underworld.

Zhao Hao planned to wrap the Happy Wind Man with the Rainbow Bridge so that he could pass through directly.

"Let's go! Let's set off."

However, just as Zhao Hao and his group were about to set off, a group of people appeared not far away.

It shouldn't be called two groups of people. Although they appeared together, they kept a certain distance from each other, clearly indicating that they were two separate groups.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Where is Heian-kyo?" one of the richly dressed women asked.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, dressed in a very glamorous outfit, with numerous extraordinary ornaments on her head that looked to weigh over ten kilograms.

Immediately, a maidservant stepped forward and said, "The person before you is His Highness Saiō of Ise Grand Shrine. Please state your identity and answer the question." The maidservant's demeanor was also very aloof and arrogant.

Another maid stepped forward from the other group, slightly turning to gesture to the shrine maiden in red and white robes beside her.

"My lord is Princess Senke Hidee of Izumo Taisha..."

Zhao Hao leaned halfway out of the car window, curiously observing the two groups of people, wondering what the Saiō and the shrine maiden of Izumo Taisha were all about.

However, to be able to use the honorific title "Your Highness" must mean that one's status is not low.

Those people were also curiously observing Zhao Hao and the Happy Wind Man he was riding. After all, the Wind Man's big eyes and mouth were quite eye-catching. They were glancing at him curiously!

Using a Shinkansen bullet train as a psionic puppet, that's really... indescribable!
