Seeing her like this, Jianzi sighed softly and pointed to the record about the peninsula, saying, "Thousands of years ago, the Boso Peninsula was not land, but an ocean. Due to the drop in sea level and land reclamation, it was transformed into a settlement of this size..."
May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Seventeen: Times Have Changed
Xiao Hua listened, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.
What does this mean?
"Many years ago, this was an island that was not connected to the mainland. It had its own culture and primitive beliefs..." Jian Zi whispered, her fingertips tracing over some insignificant records in the magazine. The hotel was originally just a backdrop, used to embellish its image and pretend it had a long history.
But what happened next?
As nature evolves and the world changes, why did the Yamata no Orochi choose to be reborn here? What is it trying to find?
Even though it is an evil god, there are still people who believe in it, after all, the Yamata no Orochi has left a significant mark on mythology.
And what about its followers?
Human beings have been reclaiming land from the sea, and over the past thousand years, they have changed so much.
It was reborn here, only to find that everything in the world was no longer the same. Searching the entire island, it found only a lonely shrine. All traces of the ancestors were buried deep within the island beneath their feet.
In the end, Xiao Hua cut off its snake body, and it fled in panic. According to Xiao Hua, it headed towards the Izumo region?
Yes, that is, after all, its place of origin.
According to legend, it was slain by Susanoo-no-Mikoto in Izumo, who then obtained the divine weapon, the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.
Seeing that Zi was lost in thought, he gently slid his fingertips across the paper.
With the gods returning, how will humanity cope in the future?
This is a very heavy question.
Myoken-no-Mikoto once said that when the gods return, humanity will face annihilation, a matter concerning the very survival of all humankind.
She was horrified when she heard that.
However, Tendo Kagura gave a direct answer.
Human beings should strive for self-improvement.
How can we become self-reliant?
Relying on those powerful but unseen individuals?
Right now, Kagura Tendou is protecting humanity, but how long can he keep doing that?
She pondered for a moment, then heard a commotion ahead. Grandma Sanzhi and Rom had returned, and Xiaohua was waving to them.
Seeing that Zi had stood up, he asked, "How did it go?"
Grandma Saegusa's face was grave: "It's almost over." In her capacity as a psychic, she told the police that they had expelled the troublesome spirits and that no more disasters would occur.
Those people didn't really believe it at first, but Qinghai vouched for it, as the latter held some status here.
Soon news came that a team of police officers had found signs of a battle on the other side of the island, and the scene was... horrifying, with the area almost completely destroyed and unrecognizable.
Grandma Saegusa also saw the footage taken at the scene and immediately fell silent.
The police interpreted this silence as tacit agreement.
Suddenly, Granny Sanzhi's image became much more impressive in their eyes. They felt that she was a true spiritualist with supernatural powers, able to command spirits and ghosts, and possessing extraordinary abilities.
Kagura Tendo didn't communicate with humans; after saying those words, she disappeared without a trace. So the police were quite unsure and were still wondering what was going on. After so many people died, wasn't the world supposed to be at peace?
Now that cannibalism has reappeared, is it a resurgence?
Some insiders knew that psychics hadn't completely disappeared, so they issued a call for heroes, promising a hefty reward that would surely attract brave men, and a whole bunch of dubious characters emerged.
The fact that Rom and Granny Sange could talk to Monk Qinghai shows that they are on the same page. We are preparing to bring them together to discuss an effective solution. If it cannot be done, we will find out the reasons. If it cannot be suppressed, it will inevitably cause social unrest. Some small countries have already been paralyzed. We cannot follow in their footsteps.
But to our surprise, the matter was resolved before we even started discussing it.
It's all too smooth, which feels unreal. Is it really possible for humans to rival gods?
But that scene wasn't faked.
Some people wanted to know the details, what method was used, and whether it could be shared, but Granny Sanzhi coldly refused, saying it was not convenient for outsiders to know.
Every profession has its rules, especially for spiritualists, whose profession lies between folklore and mystery; there are always taboos.
But then those people asked what the specific cause was.
Granny Saegusa brings up the idea of new deities—that humanity will eventually understand that not only gods, but also new deities will be born.
The matter of Yamata no Orochi is of great importance and cannot be discussed. Qinghai also remained silent on this matter, knowing the gravity of the situation. Great gods and ordinary gods are two different things.
Then, Grandma Saegusa and Rom received an invitation.
A mysterious group originating from humanity.
According to Rom's assessment, this organization is still under construction, with an unknown number of members, and appears to be an empty shell. They are looking for a few figures who can keep things in check and be commanded and directed by the authorities.
The treatment is extremely outrageous, limited to the individual only, with all expenses in Japan waived, and full access to the privileges within acceptable limits.
Rom was eager to try, but Granny Saegusa knew her place. The wrinkles on her forehead could trap mosquitoes, so her chances of becoming a medium were slim, and she couldn't afford the treatment. If she joined, it wouldn't matter if she harmed herself, but she would be held responsible if she harmed others.
Because these people define her based on her ability to appease the gods.
But Grandma Sanzhi didn't dare to deny it, otherwise she would expose Miko, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say she would think about it for a few days.
The current trend is clear: things will definitely not be peaceful in the future. Whoever holds more cards in their hand will be more confident in dealing with future changes.
Therefore, they were extremely enthusiastic. If it weren't for Granny Saegusa's firm attitude, they could have laid out a map of Chiba City and let Granny Saegusa draw a circle around it. After that, they could have brought her whole family in.
Of course, the Fangzong Peninsula area is also acceptable.
Or in Tokyo, a wealthy area where many people died a few days ago, leaving houses vacant and ready for immediate move-in.
In short, the benefits are extremely good, making it hard not to be tempted.
Grandma Sanzhi used to be a fortune teller on the roadside, and occasionally she had to use shady methods to trick customers into spending money. Now she can be said to be at the peak of her life.
But she wasn't blinded by her emotions; instead, her expression became quite serious.
The more this country values spiritualists and the more resources it can give up, the more uneasy she feels, as if something big is about to happen.
The four got into the black sedan.
Before driving away, Rom rolled down the car window, his expression nonchalant, his eyes clear. He waved goodbye to the police officers with a smile, as if to disrespect their collective bow in farewell.
This country doesn't pay much attention to major national events, but it does a great job with the details.
"Jinzi, you two won't be noticed, will you?" Grandma Sanzhi asked in the car.
Seeing Zi shake his head, he said, "They don't remember me and Hua, so they should be fine for a while."
Grandma Sanzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I can buy myself some time."
“It won’t be long.” Jianzi said, gazing at the fleeting scenery outside the window, “It won’t be long before all the countries unite.”
Granny Sange looked astonished: "Did that being say this?" She felt that it couldn't have been Miko who said it; it could only have been Tendo Kagura, that mysterious and powerful being.
Jian Zi nodded silently.
Granny Saegusa's voice trembled: "Is he going to take action and force humanity to unite?"
If this were to actually happen, it would be an absolutely earth-shattering event, the first of its kind in human history.
Seeing Zi lower his head, as if sighing, he murmured, "No, it's humanity uniting itself..."
She recalled an article she had read that said if an ant colony encounters a fire, it will huddle together to escape, thus ensuring the survival of the whole colony.
And what about humans?
Is it possible to be even more noble and selfless than an ant?
And what about the world?
What happens when a crisis occurs?
"Times have changed, and many people will sacrifice themselves because of this; life and death are unpredictable."
"The world is changing, and it will be easier to become stronger because this is the last hope."
This is what Tendo Kagura said to her the night before she disappeared.
All gods, swiftly come to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Eighteen: Divine Power
When mystery ceases to be mystery, rules change, and extraordinary paths are no longer constrained by environmental factors, a golden age even greater than the era of psychics will emerge.
But this seemingly glorious era is actually nothing more than a display of extravagance and superficial prosperity.
Once burned, nothing was left.
The divine music of the heavens proclaims to the world that it is actually laying the groundwork for the future, allowing humanity to prepare mentally.
The car stopped on the commercial street, and seeing Zi and Xiaohua get out, it was time to say goodbye.
Rom had originally planned to take them home, but Miko refused. It wasn't because she was worried about causing a misunderstanding, but because she and Xiaohua were going to meet someone.
As the two left the old commercial street, Yurikawa Hua asked Zi, "Hua, have you mastered extraordinary power?" During the battle with the Yamata no Orochi, Yurikawa Hua delivered the final blow, cutting it in two. At that moment, she sensed a powerful fluctuation that was quite astonishing.
As a warrior, Xiaohua's path differs from that of a spiritual master. She first awakens her will to live, greatly increasing her life force, like a furnace. Her physical attributes are extremely extraordinary, surpassing ordinary people in terms of life level.
In fact, she has not yet mastered the extraordinary power of her own path, and can only rely on life energy to harm those evil spirits. This is a passive ability and does not have initiative.
Yurikawa Hana boasted with a smug look, "It's divine power!"
She stretched out her palm, and her fair little hand immediately shone with a hazy, precious glow. The glow was extremely textured, as if she were wearing a glove.
Baihe Chuanhua casually chopped at the side, and countless flowers and plants flew up and fell to the ground.
This greenery adorns the city, lush and verdant, enhancing the greenery, and has always been neatly maintained, round and plump.
But now Baihechuanhua has given it a buzz cut, and Jianzi didn't even hear the cutting sound during the whole process. Looking closely, she found that the cuts on the plants were extremely smooth, as if they had been swept by the sharpest sword. Even if it were trees or rocks, they would probably have ended up like this.
Seeing that Zi was stunned for a moment, he patted Xiao Hua on the head. Seeing that there was no one around and few pedestrians on the street, he grabbed her hand and ran away quickly.
Divine power is the extraordinary power of the warrior path; it is formed when life energy undergoes transformation.
Moreover, divine power has extremely strong destructive power; otherwise, how could it have severed the serpent's body?
Previously, Yuri Kawana could only burn it with her own life energy, which not only consumed a great deal of her own energy but also did not cause any real damage to the Yamata no Orochi.
