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

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your thoughts; I just noticed this idea the moment I entered your mind," she explained.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was shocked, but remained outwardly calm: "Who are you?"

She looked around, but she was all alone in the kitchen.

'Who I am is not important. Someone is looking for Suzuka Ise. She is in danger. We can't take her out, or we'll be discovered.'

Hiratsuka Shizuka asked in a low voice, "Are you the one responsible for protecting Suzuka Ise? Isn't she an ordinary person?"

'Suzuka Ise's background is connected to an ancient power.'

She spoke hesitantly, "This matter has gone beyond what ordinary people can understand; it's a bad thing for you. I advise you not to get involved."

"Tendou Kagura didn't say that when she handed her over to me."

'He knows nothing about this either, and he's too busy right now, so I can represent him. Take Suzuka Ise to the rooftop of the apartment building, and I'll take her away and settle her somewhere else. Just treat this as a dream, and she'll forget everything when she wakes up,' she said calmly.

This is also a form of protection for Hiratsuka Shizuka, because the implications are too profound.

Hiratsuka Shizuka lit a cigarette. This was the kitchen, but her mind was in turmoil. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Can you ensure the safety of Suzuka in Ise?"

She answered honestly, "No, but I will try my best..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka then asked, "If you can't do it, why do it at all?"

She didn't answer the question.

Hiratsuka Shizuka closed her eyes, then exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Then let Suzuka stay here. She's not in a good state of mind. She doesn't like to run around now, and she doesn't want to drift along with fate. Let her have some peace and quiet for a few days."

'I understand.' She didn't press the issue, but left a number.

Contact me if you need anything.

On the apartment rooftop, Jianzi said to Xiaohua, "Let's go, we still have things to do."

"What are you doing?" Xiao Hua asked, puzzled.

"We must try our best to erase any traces of Suzuka Ise; we need to hurry."

Yuri Kawana nodded as if she understood, grabbed Miko's arm, and leaped away between the buildings.

In the kitchen, Hiratsuka Shizuka entered the number into her phone, only to find that it was already a duplicate; she had saved it beforehand.

"Is it Yotsuya Miko?" Hiratsuka Shizuka murmured to herself, staring at her phone screen.

May all the gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Twenty-Six: The human world has become filthy once more!

In the old commercial street, there's a fortune-telling shop in Takeda-Sange with a sign on the door saying it's temporarily closed.

Using dried bat legs, toad molted skin, five drops of yak tears, goat hair, plus half a pound of snake blood and venom, and trace amounts of cinnabar and gold powder...

Following Grandma Sanzhi's instructions, Jianzi placed each item into the pressure cooker. The flames at the bottom of the cooker were intense, and once it boiled, an indescribable fishy and foul smell wafted out. The liquid was bubbling and sticky, making it extremely disgusting.

But seeing that Zi's expression was normal, she blocked her sense of smell.

But Yuri Kawana couldn't stand it. Her senses were too strong. She covered her nose and held it in for more than ten minutes before finally turning around and running out to breathe in the fresh air.

Is that all?

Seeing Zi curiously examining the increasingly viscous liquid inside.

Grandma Sanzhi was wearing a thick mask, which made her speech unclear. She mumbled, "It should be about time..."

She wasn't entirely sure either. After all, this recipe was passed down from ancient times, and she had never seen it before. She had only recently rediscovered it, and many of the ingredients were missing. She had to use substitutes to gather them all. But how effective this secret medicine would be was still unknown.

Granny Sanzhi was hesitant, as this was the first time she had ever made such a legendary secret medicine, the main ingredient of which was a part of the true form of a deity.

Previously, there was nowhere to find it, and there was no similar experience at all.

"The bodies of gods retain divine power, but they are also haunted by evil thoughts. Making contact with them rashly will pollute the human spirit..." Granny Sanzhi muttered to herself.

In a sense, this also reflects the immortality of the gods.

When Jianzi came to her with half of the Yamata no Orochi's body, she was stunned for a long time. This news was too shocking; if it were to spread, many people would be dumbfounded.

She knew that Jianzi and Xiaohua were just ordinary girls not long ago, but now they had done such a great thing.

Both girls were favored by that supreme being, and she never asked any questions.

Because some things can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words, this is the way of the spiritualist to survive in the world.

He explained his purpose to Zi and begged her to purify this part of his body.

She tried to force absorption, but the effect was not very good.

Moreover, her own spirituality reminded her that doing so would leave hidden dangers. Kuroko, however, had a solution and planned to use her spiritual power to wear down the will of the Yamata no Orochi.

But this takes a lot of time, and Jianzi found this place.

Takeda Mie is a successor of the shamans; no one knows the gods better than the shamans.

Sure enough, she learned a lot from there.

In the past, psychics were extremely powerful, but compared to the gods, they were always outnumbered. Those who were both gods and humans took a different path, allowing their followers—ordinary people without the necessary qualifications—to forcibly acquire supernatural powers.

This is the origin of the secret medicine, but the main ingredient comes from the gods, making the secret medicine extremely precious.

Moreover, during the brewing process, the auxiliary ingredients are used to eliminate and transform the lingering thoughts of the gods and remove evil intentions as much as possible.

In that golden age, psychics flourished everywhere, and this kind of secret medicine was not uncommon. However, generally speaking, becoming a superhuman through this method would have serious side effects, a very low success rate, and would often cause people to go insane and lose their minds. Only a few people persevered.

However, this method allows one to become an extraordinary being, but the upper limit is fixed; neither their strength nor their level can surpass that of a god.

In fact, this secret medicine can also help qualified people become psychics directly, but their potential is too low. After reaching a certain level, it is difficult to make any further progress, and they will also be stuck at the upper limit. Therefore, in the past, no psychics would choose this path.

While consulting the documents, Granny Sanzhi unexpectedly learned through the ancient cryptic texts that there was a secret medicine with a high success rate and an astonishing conversion efficiency. It could be called a perfect secret medicine that could truly change a person's aptitude, and there was no upper limit to its effectiveness.

But no one knows how they were made; the method has long been lost.

Three minutes later, Miko threw the shrunken half of the Yamata no Orochi's body into the pot. The boiling liquid immediately cooled down, and the bracelet-like body melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was completely immersed in the liquid.

Moreover, the originally dark and foul-smelling medicine seemed to have undergone some kind of strange chemical reaction, and it began to become pure.

The black liquid appeared to have been dissolved and digested.

What eventually took its place was a pool of extremely clear liquid, shimmering and crystal clear.

All the flavors disappeared.

Moreover, Jianzi discovered that even if the flames at the bottom of the pot were strong, it could not be boiled; it seemed to have solidified at the bottom of the pot.

"It seems to have been a success..." Granny Sanzhi took off her mask and examined it for a moment. She thought to herself that this seemed different from the records. The finished product should have floating insect-like things swimming around, but this one did not. It was very clean and transparent.

But this shouldn't be a bad thing. Could it be because the auxiliary materials have been changed?

Or is it that the quality of the Yamata no Orochi is too high?

"Be careful of the side effects of the secret medicine," Granny Sanzhi reminded her.

"It's alright. I don't rely on the secret medicine; I just use it as a tonic."

Jianzi was holding a pressure cooker. She poured the secret medicine into a bowl, which was about half full. She drank it all in one gulp and was surprised to find that the liquid seemed to evaporate as soon as it entered her mouth.

She was a little dazed; had she been drinking for nothing?

But soon, a powerful and pure mental energy surged from his body, and Jianzi immediately found a place to sit down and quickly refined this power.

She is now at Sequence 9 and, following Kagura's instructions, has come into contact with hundreds of evil spirits, experiencing their joys and sorrows, the more extreme the emotions, the better.

This helps her enhance her spiritual depth and mental resilience.

She had already laid a solid foundation, but Kuroko told her that there was still potential to be explored. By reaching the pinnacle of her realm and advancing to Sequence 8, she would see a wider world, and the remnant of the god would provide her with great assistance.

Therefore, her refining process lasted for a very long time.

From day to night, she finally opened her eyes.

Those golden eyes suddenly emitted two beams of light, like two bright lamps, and they actually shone, illuminating the shop.

"Miko..." Yurikawa had been waiting outside for a long time. When she noticed the commotion, she rushed in immediately. But as soon as she called out, she met Miko's eyes and was startled. She sensed a spiritual power flowing from those eyes.

Under those eyes, it was as if her entire soul had been laid bare, like standing naked in front of a mirror, completely exposed, without any privacy, even her will to live was revealed.

Yurikawa realized that Miko had advanced to a higher level!

Miko Yotsuya stood up, her body seemingly thinner, her life energy greatly diminished. In her place were extremely bright golden eyes, and an unrestrained spiritual power emanated from them, leaving Yurikawa Kaname completely bewildered.

"Xiao Hua, you need to work harder too, and advance to Sequence 8 as soon as possible." Jian Zi smiled, her voice surprisingly infectious.

……

At the summit of Mount Everest, the ice and snow remain eternally frozen, telling a story of silent desolation and antiquity.

And this lonely peak has a solitary silhouette.

He sat there cross-legged, keeping company with loneliness, with only the howling wind and snow around him.

Those eyes were like ice, and his expression was extremely indifferent, like a god high above, looking down on the mortal world.

The world has become filthy again!

All gods, swiftly come to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu! Chapter Twenty-Seven: Main Quest Begins: Repel Enemies Beyond the World

With over seven billion people and more than two hundred countries on Earth, even if we consider all countries as a whole, there are still more than two hundred voices.

The alarm bells have been rung, and no one believes that countries are completely unaware of this.

Everyone knows that a new era has arrived, and those millions of lives are bloody proof of it.

Humanity has encountered an unprecedented catastrophe, and in the future, it will meet with the gods.

But actually?

A crisis is looming, and a grand alliance is imminent, yet humanity remains inactive.

Despite the constant warnings, they can't even hold an emergency meeting; they're still discussing the location and time, and haven't gotten to the point at all.

Because within humanity, there is an invisible force that interferes with those with wisdom from doing the right thing.

Every country faces similar constraints, and even the world's beacon of light has become relatively low-key.

But some people harbored resentment and wanted to stand up and raise the banner of integration, but in the end, they all cut off their channels of expression.
