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

Just as the death of demons causes pollution, the death of gods also has many effects, such as creating a more suitable environment, making evil spirits stronger, and having a certain chance of affecting the birth of psychics.

“This is the sublimation of the spirit, a process of sublimation and self-perfection…” Jianzi murmured to himself, vaguely grasping the essence of the divine.

Only those who are clear-headed can be considered gods.

But then she wondered, how did Kuroko know that?

They receive the same information from the outside world... there must be something she missed...

She pondered for a moment and suddenly understood. She stood still and extended her spiritual power to several adjacent guest rooms.

Hotel staff were isolated inside, and the police temporarily used it as an interrogation room. Some customers were also inside and needed to undergo a full investigation.

After all, it's impossible to set them free right now, as the relevant procedures haven't been completed yet. We've only repeatedly assured them that such an accident won't happen.

The spiritual power was invisible and intangible. The moment it covered them, Jianzi sensed extremely frightened hearts. She silently penetrated their minds and searched for memories related to the previous night.

During this process, she heard Kuroko 'tsk', but Kuroko ignored her.

And then she actually saw it.

……

The guests staying at this hotel are mostly on vacation and have already booked their trips. Although there are many deaths and injuries outside, things are relatively stable here. There are no major disasters and social order has not collapsed, so work still needs to be done.

Ordinary people cannot see evil spirits because their spiritual vision is not high, not because the spirit world completely blocks ordinary people. If they use some spiritual substances, ordinary people can also see evil spirits.

From the staff's perspective, Miko was pushing a cart to deliver clean bath towels to the hot spring. However, as soon as she arrived at the corridor, the staff member stood still, shivering with a chill that seemed to originate from a deep-seated terror, making her stiffen and almost unable to do anything.

Jianzi was immediately taken aback. Based on the angle of view, she discovered a very special evil spirit in the hot spring. Its body had large chunks of solidified cement, its limbs were rotting, and it was dripping with water... It was really strong, even stronger than the evil spirit that had followed Xiaohua before.

Then, as if provoked, a chilling sensation descended, freezing the hot spring water. This even affected the mortal world, as it grabbed the arm of a guest soaking in the hot spring and bit down on it…

The scene was unsettling, but Zixin was filled with doubt: Where was the Yamata no Orochi?

She soon learned that the evil spirit had eaten several lives and seemed to have reached some kind of critical point. Its body twisted and contorted like putty, and then split in two from the head. The cement block also cracked open, like shedding its skin, and a snake's head emerged from the flesh.

It was a slippery, cold snake, and that's how it appeared.

That snake head was extremely similar to the Yamata no Orochi she had seen before.

It looked up, its gaze icy as it stared at the sky, then disappeared into the distant dense forest without looking back.

My memory ends there, and that's it.

Seeing that Zi had withdrawn his spiritual power, he easily dispelled the fear in the hearts of the staff and some of the aftereffects.

Her expression was solemn as she gazed in the direction where the snake had disappeared.

Jianzi roughly understood what had happened; the evil spirit had become the vessel for the resurrection of Yamata no Orochi.

Yes, even gods cannot be resurrected on the spot; they need a medium and a process. That evil spirit must have absorbed the divine power of the Yamata no Orochi.

The hotel is built inside the park and surrounded by forests and the sea. It is a famous summer resort with beautiful scenery and lush trees.

"You can actually use your mental power without my perception?" Miko asked her. The two were from the same origin, and although Miko's use of mental power was clearly superior, she was still very surprised to see her achieve this level.

"Psychic powers should be extremely secretive," Kuroko scoffed. He genuinely thought Kuroko was incredibly stupid, using her psychic abilities to openly examine others.

She was probably the first spiritualist to be detected by non-supernatural beings.

Seeing that Zi was not discouraged, he silently calculated for a while and felt that this method was feasible, but somewhat difficult and could not be learned in a short time.

I don't know how Kuroko learned it. It's strange; such a skill couldn't be learned without a teacher.

Seeing that Zi did not hesitate, he whispered to Granny Sanzhi, "I want to go and see other places."

As she spoke, her golden eyes gazed at the quiet, dense forest.

"Do you need us to come with you?" Grandma Sanzhi asked without asking why.

“It’s very dangerous.” Seeing Zi shake his head, Granny Sanzhi, although she possessed magical powers, was not a true superhuman and had no power to protect herself from the gods.

She now understands just how much risk Grandma Sanzhi took when she brought her to see the mountain god; if she hadn't been careful, she might not have come back.

In fact, if the mountain god had truly wanted to eat her, she would never have escaped unscathed; the process of destroying the seal was extremely smooth.

Thinking about it carefully, it might be related to the girl's consciousness, fighting against madness, which is why she wasn't harmed.

Qinghai sensed something and hesitated to speak, but Rom cheerfully pulled him back: "Master, let's discuss exorcism methods. The old methods are too outdated. I've recently switched to using drones for exorcism."

When he looked again, he saw that Zi and Xiaohua had disappeared into the woods.

All gods, swiftly come to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Thirteen: Hunting the Gods

The trees are tall and vigorous, lush and green. Each ancient tree is like a canopy, blocking the sunlight. The shadows in the forest are sparse, the light is insufficient, and the atmosphere is slightly gloomy.

Jianzi stepped on the layer of fallen leaves and branches accumulated over the years, and the soft, light footsteps made a chilling sound in the quiet, dense forest.

Baihechuan Hua followed silently beside Jianzi. Her steps were cautious, her body slightly bowed, and her movements were subtle, giving the impression of her gathering strength.

There are paths in the forest, and the terrain is intricate, but as you go deeper, the paths begin to narrow and become increasingly difficult to traverse.

However, as a spiritualist, her physical coordination has become very strong, so she appears very composed in her movements. With her black hair flowing down and her golden eyes gentle, she looks more like a wandering elf.

After passing through most of the dense forest, Jianzi sensed a faint fluctuation coming from somewhere.

She didn't dare unleash her spiritual power, but instead observed with her naked eyes. Eventually, she discovered a shrine in the woods, indistinct and not particularly noticeable.

The shrine wasn't large; similar structures exist throughout Japan. Miko was very familiar with it; it was used to enshrine sages and some wild gods, but many were specifically built for samurai. This one probably wasn't built as a hotel, but rather a structure left over from the construction of a park; its exterior is old, but it's still relatively intact.

The small torii gate is shaped like the Chinese character "开" and has a white rope used to create a barrier. It is small but complete.

But at that moment, the purging rope broke, the torii gate fell to the ground, and the temple gate was smashed and disappeared.

Seeing Zi and Xiao Hua slowly approaching, he focused intently.

Suddenly, a snake's head emerged from the temple. Its body was now as thick as a bowl, and its aura was much stronger. Some special substances remained at the corners of its mouth, as if it had just eaten something. It was staring at the two uninvited guests with its vertical pupils.

Seeing that Zi reacted quickly, he turned around and asked, "Wow, Hua, there's a shrine here! Want to come and pray?"

Xiao Hua's pure face showed a troubled expression: "But, they're all broken."

"It's probably been disturbed by wild animals," Jianzi said casually, focusing his mental energy. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the snake remained motionless, seemingly sizing up Xiaohua.

Has it rediscovered its wisdom?

It doesn't seem crazy anymore. What about its other seven tails and head? Have they not grown back yet, or have they been reborn elsewhere?

Seeing that Zi had many guesses in his mind.

The snake was extremely clear in her eyes, almost like a living snake, but it was still somewhat blurry to Xiaohua.

Now, it may be that Xiao Hua's physique attracted it. To the gods, one Baihechuan Hua is equivalent to hundreds or thousands of ordinary people. Her physical quality is extremely high. The Yamata no Orochi is still in a weak period. It is not a benevolent god to begin with, so there is no reason for it to suppress its desires.

She came here not just to observe, of course; according to Kuroko, she intended to kill it.

"Let's get a closer look."

The two pretended to be tourists passing by by chance and approached the area. The terrain was uneven, with hills and slopes, and the land was very rough. They slowly got closer.

Ten meters... eight meters... five meters... three meters...

The moment it stepped over the torii gate, the Yamata no Orochi's vertical pupils flashed with ferocity. In that instant, it moved, its slippery serpentine body springing out like a spring, causing the entire shrine to explode. A terrifying aura that seeped into the very marrow erupted forth, and its head, originally as thick as a bowl, expanded to an enormous size, forming a gaping maw capable of swallowing an entire grown tiger whole.

boom!

But Yuri Kawana's response was extremely swift. Her body was stimulated, and her life force erupted in full, like ignited explosives. She took a step, bent down to avoid the snake's mouth, and then advanced instead of retreating, creating a small pit in the spot.

She rammed the Yamata no Orochi away with her shoulder.

The flame of life charred the snakeskin the instant they made contact.

The Yamata no Orochi was clearly dazed when it was thrown out, and rolled around on the ground after it fell.

This is hardly a delicious meal; it's more like a mouthful of lava.

We've fallen for their trap!

Its reaction was quick; while struggling, it turned its head and instinctively spat out a mouthful of black mist. The black mist quickly spread for dozens of meters and had a strong corrosive effect. All the vegetation was as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, sizzling and smoking, and melting rapidly.

The events that occurred in the spirit world were also reflected in the present world; the bushes and weeds died and decayed at a visible rate.

But Baihechuanhua, radiating life energy and with wildness in her eyes, was like a warrior in flames, fearless of the black mist. She grabbed the tail of the Yamata no Orochi and swung it around. Her blood was boiling, and she ignored the slippery, cold touch, giving the Yamata no Orochi no chance to recover.

The moment the boundary between the two realms intersects, deities in the spirit world possess a physical form and can devour people in the mortal realm. This also means that if there is mystical energy, people in the mortal realm can also capture beings in the spirit world, resulting in a two-way influence.

Boom boom boom!

A series of explosions echoed through the dense forest, shaking the ground. Xiao Hua swung the snake in his hand, violently whipping and slamming it, smashing rocks and destroying trees. In just a few seconds, he had smashed dozens of times. An ordinary life would have been turned into mincemeat long ago.

However, creatures of the spirit world cannot be judged by common sense. The Yamata no Orochi was unharmed, except for its charred tail. After getting used to Yurikawa Hana's attack frequency, its eyes revealed a fierce light. It twisted its body, and its head turned 180 degrees like a cone. This action, which violated the laws of life, directly sent Hana flying.

She crashed into three large trees, flying thirty or forty meters, rolling several times before getting up and lunging forward again, without stopping.

The Yamata no Orochi unleashed its ferocity, having never suffered a loss against a mortal. Enraged to the point of losing its mind, its body grew thicker and stronger. Its massive tail, like an iron chain cleaving across the sky, was tens of meters long, shattering a patch of forest, sending leaves flying and releasing an extremely strong, fishy stench.

Xiao Hua was sent flying again before she could even get close.

But this time she reacted even faster, using her body to gain leverage in mid-air, breaking a large tree and rushing back, her single fist shooting straight out, much like an aerial acrobat.

Just as the Yamata no Orochi was about to make a move, it suddenly heard a clear voice shouting from not far away: "Don't move!"

Then a mysterious force enveloped his entire body, affecting his thinking.

Its body suddenly stiffened and it actually stopped moving, as if it had been forcibly restrained.

Xiao Hua seized the opportunity, swung her delicate fist, and smashed its head into the ground more than half a meter deep.

Her fists pounded like drums, so fast that afterimages appeared. Her eyes were bloodshot; she was determined to smash this thing to death.

Five seconds later, a deep pit appeared in the forest.

But the Yamata no Orochi quickly broke free of its restraints, and with a sweep of its tail, slammed Xiao Hua backwards into the ground.

"Slow!" It was a cold voice.

The Yamata no Orochi suddenly felt its consciousness become blurred, and its movements slowed down considerably. Xiao Hua leaped out from the ground, two blood-red lines appearing on her face, radiating a fierce and wild aura. Physical attacks were ineffective, so she instinctively chose the optimal solution, directly embracing the Yamata no Orochi and then releasing as much of her life force as possible.

"Stiff!" Seeing the terrifying light emanating from Zi Jin's eyes, he swept over with all his spiritual power, but even when he applied it all to the Yamata no Orochi, he still found it quite difficult and could not suppress it for long.

"Rampage!" came another cold voice.

This wasn't for Yamata no Orochi, but for Yurikawa Hana. Her expression suddenly changed, as if some force had blurred her consciousness. Her eyes were filled with nothing but a mad, blood-red light, devoid of any rationality. Her will to live dominated her body, and her slender arms clenched tightly, transforming Yamata no Orochi's barrel waist into a water snake waist.

It struggled and twisted, feeling as if its body had been broken in two.
