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

“(It’s difficult…)” Myoken-no-Mikoto was somewhat troubled, as the person opposite him didn’t seem easy to communicate with.

Or rather, he has a very high standard.

This is not to say that this human is arrogant or disdainful of others.

Rather, it was a matter of great calamity, and this powerful figure indeed needed to discuss this issue with a higher-level deity, while he barely had the right to be a listener.

Just like how Kagura never tells Miko Koka about the information of the Outer Gods.

Saying more is pointless and only adds to the burden.

Myoken-no-sama dropped a bombshell: "Some time ago, the spirit world was cleaved open by some unknown force and nearly collapsed, releasing many terrifying demons."

This is a catastrophe, unprecedented in history, surpassing all previous upheavals.

Tendou Kagura's expression shifted slightly as she recalled that she had once seen a crack running from north to south, almost tearing the sky apart.

Has the spirit world also been affected?

No, or rather, the spirit world is the one that was truly injured...

Yes, if such a powerful force were to interfere with the real world, he should be able to detect its source, instead of being like a headless fly.

"How is it now?"

"It's still calming down, but the gods have suffered severe damage. I sensed that many gods have fallen, which should have affected your realm."

Seeing that she was very surprised, she remembered the news she had seen on her phone and told Tendou Kagura everything.

The Holy Son was beheaded, and the God-King exploded.

How many more strange things have happened in places unseen?

Tendou Kagura's heart sank, and he asked, "How many of those ancient civilizations' gods are left?"

"I don't know, the spirit world is still in a period of turmoil." Myoken-no-sama was unaware of this, and could only govern the territory under his own rule.

"I once saw a stunning arrow light pierce the night sky, emitting a terrifying aura. It was hundreds of miles away, and it ultimately killed a demon who had just broken free of his seal."

It was a power never seen before, interfering with the spirit world in reverse. The astonishing phenomenon immediately caught the attention of Myoken-no-Mikoto, leaving him extremely surprised.

Recently, Myoken-no-sama has been searching for the source of that power, but due to the separation between the two worlds, he is unable to observe the real world and has been without any clues.

Now, they have reaped the rewards in the land of ascension.

Such places are special anchor points for the spirit world; only such places can connect the two worlds and guide evil spirits.

Although there aren't many places of ascension in Chiba City, there are still dozens.

Logically speaking, even a psychic should not be able to observe the place of ascension, because it involves the essence of the spirit world and the real world.

Therefore, Myoken-no-Miko was extremely curious about Miko and had some guesses in his mind. He wanted to invite her to visit the spirit world.

While he was at it, he also took the opportunity to test the mysteriously appearing Kagura Tendou.

As for the blood-red tongue, it wasn't his power; he wouldn't be so rude. It was the protective power inherent in the Land of Ascension.

Tendou Kagura remained silent.

If the spirit world can interfere with reality, there's no reason why reality can't interfere with the spirit world.

He had this idea for a while, but it was confirmed today.

"You call that strange creature a demon?"

“Yes, gods and demons are enemies, fighting for generations, dating back to an extremely distant era,” Myoken-no-Mikoto said.

Where does evil originate?

Those strange things always gave him the illusion of being an Outer God, their rules eroding and transforming his followers.

The methods used are not so much similar as identical.

"It's hard to say, it's existed since ancient times," said Myoken-no-Mikoto, adding that perhaps the supreme deity of the ancient civilization could answer this question.

Compared to others, he was still relatively young, only a thousand years old, born at the end of the mythological era, and almost drowned in his mother's womb. He was considered a junior among the gods of ancient civilizations.

Tendou Kagura asked, "How large is the Spirit Realm?"

“Vast beyond measure,” Myoken-sama replied. “How vast is the real universe?”

Seeing the astonishment of Myoken-no-sensei's description of the universe, and hearing Tendou Kagura say, "The universe has boundaries but no limits, and it is constantly expanding."

"The same is true for the spirit world."

Tendou Kagura was slightly taken aback, then realized what was going on and muttered to herself, "Is it a complete reflection of reality?"

Myoken-sama uttered mysterious and profound words.

"The stars symbolize the gods."

"If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach? In the great catastrophe of the end times, the universe will come to an end, so what about the stars and gods?"

Kagura Tendou spoke coldly.

"Announce to the gods of the spirit world: if they wish to survive, the only way is for the spirit world to return and join hands with humanity to overcome this crisis; otherwise, everything will be destroyed."

But these words were too heavy for Myōken-no-sūtra to accept, nor could Myōken-no-sūtra make the decision.

Myoken-no-sama has a good temper and has seen the arrow that pierced the night sky, easily killing a demon. Even in ancient times, such a sight was rare.

He was merely a guardian of a small area, and the area under his jurisdiction was only the size of Chiba.

“The spirit realm suffered a sudden and severe blow, and we have lost all contact with it,” Myoken-no-Zun replied.

The spirit world is indeed in a very bad state right now; it is like an isolated island, unable to contact the outside world.

The spirit world corresponds to the real universe, and their scope is the same, so one can imagine how vast it is.

But this vast world was struck by an inexplicable force and nearly cracked apart.

The powerful gods are busy putting out fires everywhere. They need to stabilize all sides of the spirit world and suppress the released demons first. Otherwise, if the spirit world collapses, all the spirits will be homeless.

However, Myoken-no-kun was very lucky, and no disasters occurred in the territory he governed.

He dared not go out, lest he get caught up in some battle or disaster, or encounter some demon, and then he would never be able to come back.

The spirit world is different from the real world. Although it is said to be a reflection, it only reflects the surface and can only provide a space for many spirits in the real world to live and move around.

Just like people living on land, they can never see the underwater world.

The spirit world is far removed from reality, but not completely detached from it, much like the legendary Atlantis civilization.

What Jianzi sees now is only the tip of the iceberg, and the sea is frozen over. Unless the ice is broken, she will never be able to see the depths of the spirit world.

Myoken-no-Mikoto revealed these rules to Tendou Kagura and Miko.

The gods deliberately allowed the spirit world to distance itself from reality, fearing that the real world would be destroyed.

Myoken-no-Mikoto was still very young at that time and had experienced the period when humans and gods coexisted. However, in order to protect himself, he had to disappear into the depths of the spirit world along with the gods.

Deities cannot survive on the surface after the spirit world has departed, unless protected by a barrier, which also means being trapped in one place and never being free.

In Myoken-no-sensei's view, the possibility of Tendou Kagura returning to the Spirit World is very low.

Even with the world on the brink of destruction, this remains true.

"If those psychics who are both human and god were still alive and had enough power, the gods might have valued the human side, but that's not the case now."

According to Myoken-sensei, humans today are not qualified to join forces with the spirit world.

“The ancient gods will deal with future calamities,” Myoken-no-Mikoto said.

After the spirit world departed, the gods remained silent for a considerable period of time. There were no external enemies, and although they were fighting against each other, new gods were also joining them. The place of ascension was to guide those evil spirits who had the ability to awaken as gods.

But the gods' laziness cost them dearly; they suffered a terrible calamity without even time to react, and had never experienced such a loss before.

The spirit world could not withstand the second blow.

Those ancient gods will definitely be resurrected to fight against foreign enemies.

"Even if it's me?" Tendo Kagura was asking him if he was qualified.

He stood there, emanating an inexplicable aura that made Myoken-no-Zun's heart tremble. If observed from the perspective of the spirit world, a divine scene could be seen.

He stood firmly on the ground, enveloped in a halo of light, dazzling and radiant, his outline blurred, like a sun god descending to earth.

Myoken-no-sama felt fear, thinking that he was comparable to some ancient gods and far superior to himself. No wonder he was able to shoot down the demon.

The demon's strangeness and corrupting nature left even the gods helpless; they could only suppress it, not completely annihilate it.

"You may be very powerful, but you can't change everything."

Tendou Kagura fell silent. According to the mysterious system, he could now be considered Sequence 5, a level he reached only after receiving significant benefits at the second node.

There are also gods as powerful as him within the spirit world.

He was all alone, while there were countless gods of the same rank.

"If you have this idea, I can spread the word."

“I am happy to see this happen, and some gods also miss the world where humans and gods lived together…” Myoken-no-Mikoto stopped abruptly here and did not continue.

There was a moment of silence.

"Excuse me, may I leave now?"

He dared not leave, frozen in place by some inexplicable force. His spirit told Myoken-no-Mikoto that if he dared to leave without permission, he would face great calamity.

Therefore, Myoken-sensei and Tendou Kagura had a fairly amicable exchange.

It's strange that he had already discovered that the human in front of him couldn't see the spirit world, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to rely on the girl's vision. But that's where the problem lies. The moment Kagura Tendou noticed him, he could no longer escape.

Myoken was greatly puzzled, but became even more convinced that this was not an ability that a psychic could possess, but rather another, more mysterious power.

Indeed, one should not come into contact with things one should not come into contact with, otherwise one will be in danger.

Kagura Tendou agreed, but made it clear beforehand that he would come to him again if anything came up in the future.

Myoken-no-sama readily agreed.

Then, Jianzi noticed that the figures in the ancient portal had vanished instantly.

The deity I worshipped as a child turned out to be like this, and I was a little stunned.
