As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

The left divine messenger was killed by the right divine messenger, and then the right divine messenger launched another attack on the mountain god, thwarting its attack on Jianzi.

Baihechuan Hua stood there in astonishment, realizing that the oppressive force that had been like a quagmire had suddenly disappeared.

"(Like being alive yet dead, one must eventually be freed. The torment of hundreds of years has come to an end. The spirit world is in turmoil; what is the point of continuing to suffer here?)" The Right Divine Envoy uttered the words of the spirit world.

"(Your resentful and cursed spirit should finally find peace. You shouldn't have to suffer all this. Let it go, I'm with you...)"

The right-hand envoy and the mountain god were negotiating, but the mountain god roared violently, making it impossible to understand, and returned to the most eternal and real madness.

"(Yes, madness has already invaded you, taken root in the depths of your soul. How can you possibly remain calm? Everything you do is for your own survival...)"

The right envoy sighed softly, then crossed her arms and firmly assumed a solemn posture.

Seeing that Zi was unmoved, he lifted the white cloth and discovered that it was a skull, without any flesh or blood, and its color was dull. It was unknown how long it had been there.

Seeing that Zi remained unmoved, he threw a punch directly at him.

The skull shattered under that punch.

A strong wind swept across the shrine grounds, blurring all the scenery in that instant.

The mountain god seemed like a wild beast that had lost its mind, but more than that, it felt relieved and liberated, and it was the first to disappear.

The scene suddenly changed.

Jianzi discovered that she was in the deep mountains, surrounded by lush forests with strangely shaped branches intertwined like the claws of a demon, and the moonlight cast menacing shadows on the ground.

Many evil spirits approached. Seeing Zi take a deep breath, he joined Xiao Hua and came to the side of Rom and Granny Sanzhi.

Yuria hadn't even realized where the shrine from before had gone.

What happened to the promised mission and trials? Did Jianzi complete them?

Damn it, I missed it again!

She followed behind Miko and heard Miko say, "Grandma Sane, is it over?"

"Miss Miko did a very good job." Rom's smile was somewhat heavy. As he expected, Miko really did have the power to destroy the mountain god and break the seal.

He looked into the distance, where a masked girl had appeared quietly without him noticing.

With her slender figure, primitive kimono attire, ancient hairstyle, and white veil covering her face, she clearly belonged to a different era.

She saw it too, the girl standing in the dark forest.

Is that the true form of the mountain god?

She showed absolutely no sign of madness; she was remarkably serene.

That skull must belong to this child, right?

“She looks only fourteen or fifteen years old…” Jianzi murmured, wondering what exactly happened in that deep mountain during that past.

Why sacrifice this young girl to make her a mountain god?

Rom walked over slowly, his previous nonchalant expression vanishing, replaced by silence and sorrow.

The girl knelt down to thank her benefactor.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting," Rom said softly.

The girl did not answer, but simply bowed and thanked Rom.

"Back then, I was only this tall, but now I'm a middle-aged man with stubble. Time flies..." Rom seemed to be talking to himself, reminiscing about the past, and couldn't help but laugh, but it was definitely not a happy laugh, but rather one filled with intense sadness.

One year, ten years, a hundred years, she has been waiting here, calling for help, sitting in the abyss of despair, waiting in despair for someone who can save her.

However, for hundreds of years no one has been able to hear it.

He thought he could do it, but in the end, he caused the death of Miss Oka Touko.

Even though she had been warned by the Shitamachi Shrine Mother from the very beginning not to go into the deep mountains.

That goddess is really contradictory; one minute she tells herself she wants to help those in need, the next she warns him not to come here.

Without the mountain god's suppression, countless evil spirits that had been roaming the deep mountains emerged, reaching out their hands to grab the masked girl, as if she were some kind of potent tonic.

boom!

All evil spirits have been purified.

The right divine messenger was still alive and delivered the final blow, exorcising all the evil spirits.

She stood in the air, her body seemingly transforming into a feather, revealing her true form—an old and kind-looking figure.

That was Okazu Touko, kind and gentle, but her left eye was missing, and only half of her body remained. She was still burning and didn't have much time left.

"Master!" Granny Sanzhi burst into tears. She had long realized that the Right Divine Envoy had been helping them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and had hoped to create a strong wind to send them away.

But Xiao Hua mistook it for an attack and stopped it.

But it was as if she had returned to the past. Okazuki, dressed in ancient ceremonial robes, protected her and Rom, and faced the mountain god alone, creating a raging wind to send them away. From then on, she never saw Okazuki again.

Image: "Oka Touko, Rom, Saegusa", Location: "Images/1647509062-100299341-108503628.jpg"

I only found out today that she had been transformed into a divine messenger!

How did she get through all these years?

Despite being under the control of the mountain god, he is still helping them?

Grandma Sanzhi was overcome with grief and could not speak.

But Okazuki didn't look at her or at Rom. Instead, she floated over lightly, reached out her hands, and helped the kneeling girl up.

That really fits her personality—a total pushover who would sacrifice herself to ensure others are saved first.

Grandma Saegusa was both crying and laughing. Compared to her, Oka Touko was the real psychic. She had always been on the path of helping others, just as she had done when she brought Rom to her side.

Then, Okazuki and the girl's figures blurred, their souls dissipated, and they began to turn into a rain of light.

As she was about to leave, she finally turned back one last time, looking at Granny Sane and also seeing Miko. A strange look flashed across her eyes, and she whispered:

"The mountain god is the seal."

After she finished speaking, she and the girl disappeared together. The former had exhausted all her soul, and the latter had been guarding for hundreds of years, but she could no longer hold on.

This is truly a case of the soul being scattered and the spirit annihilated.

But Oka Touko showed no fear and remained calm.

But what did she mean by those words?

Suddenly, everyone felt a shaking sensation, as if the earth were shaking violently.

"Was it an earthquake?" Xiaohua frowned, feeling that this earthquake was very unusual. She grabbed Jianzi with one hand and steadied Grandma Sanzhi with the other, her feet seemingly rooted to the ground, and she didn't move an inch.

Yotsuya Miko's expression froze. She stared in the direction of the mountain and murmured, "Hana, this isn't an earthquake..."

Everyone followed Jianzi's gaze.

On this day, humanity faced the greatest terror in its history.

It was absurd, bizarre, twisted, evil, cursed, unknown, terrifying...

Something that humans cannot comprehend.

Rom subconsciously recalled a sentence: when he traveled to India, he searched everywhere for clues about ancient spiritualists and the inheritance of their power. He met a kind spiritualist who gave him a lot of useful knowledge.

The man said that the most merciful thing about this world is that human thinking is so one-sided that it cannot reach the deeper horrors.

Humanity lives on an island of ignorance, surrounded by an endless, dark ocean.

With the gods gone and the spirit world gone, perhaps we should not seek the glory of the past.

Blindly exploring can lead you into an unpredictable abyss.

Rom wholeheartedly agreed, because Shitamachi Shrine Maiden and Oka Touko had said similar things, which he had memorized and never changed.

Rom now knew what the abyss was.

“The mountain god is the seal…” Granny Sanzhi said in shock, repeating the words that Okazuki had said when she left.

The earthquake became increasingly pronounced, the earth cracked open, and the entire mountain seemed to be teetering on the brink of collapse.

Rom's pupils trembled and his body stiffened; Yuri collapsed to the ground without a sound; Yuriwa looked extremely pained, her body as red as a crab, with one fleshy bud after another bulging and moving on her body surface, as if about to break through the soil; Granny Sange stood with difficulty, her eyes glazed over.

Even seeing the child, they were stunned.

The thing sank into the night, its body as large as a mountain. Because it was blocked by the mountain, all that could be seen was something resembling a toad's head sticking out, and its entire body could not be seen. But even so, it was extremely terrifying.

But it wasn't a toad's head; it just had a soft, tongue-like thing sticking out when it opened, but it felt slippery and cold to the touch.

"Is this... despair..." Miko murmured to herself.

Just when everyone was numb, fearful, and at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly!

As dawn broke, a beam of light sped towards us.

Its brilliance illuminates the heavens and the earth, like an extremely sharp sword, as dazzling as a meteor, thus piercing through the eternal darkness!

The immense fluctuations spread across the entire sky, and even the ancient gods lurking on this land seemed to sense them.

It was an arrow made of light!

Whoosh!

It was invincible, piercing through the sky, trailing a long tail of flame, and thus pierced into that strange object.

And it continued its relentless march, eventually disappearing into the sky a hundred miles away like a meteor that had burned out completely.

The creature's body, twisted by the impact, vanished into thin air like a punctured balloon.

Seeing Zi staring blankly at that scene.

That thing appeared just like that, its mere existence giving people a sense of invincibility, like facing an evil god, but now the crisis has vanished like a phantom.

This is so sudden.
