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

This is very simple logic: without villains, there would be no heroes.

Humanity is short-sighted, a fact that even Kagura Tendou acknowledges. They haven't even left Earth and have no idea what the world is like. Even though he pointed out the crisis, humanity is still debating it and can't even muster a unified voice.

It is only natural that the gods look down on humankind, and this remains true even in modern society.

Humanity keeps repeating the same mistakes, and the only certainty in history is that humanity learns nothing from them.

The god pointed at by Kagura Tendou had an extremely ugly expression. This was an alien god, half-human and half-fish, covered with scales and layers of mysterious patterns, holding a sea-blue scepter. It must be admitted that many legends and myths have been lost to time. It should have originated from the islands of the ocean. Kagura Tendou once observed the earth and found that the primitive ruins on a certain island were engraved with similar mysterious patterns, like a secret language of inheritance.

"You are an enemy of the gods!" The god was furious.

The return of the gods is inevitable, and all those who do not conform to this trend will perish.

No one can withstand the pressure in this situation; even if all the great supernatural beings joined forces, they couldn't do it and would need to make concessions.

The other gods remained silent, their eyes flickering uncertainly. This mysterious and powerful figure before them was far too domineering, seemingly intending to protect the entire human world, even at the cost of becoming an enemy of the gods.

They had seen powerful people with this idea before, but they were all dead.

Tendou Kagura's body was like a javelin, his aura sharp and fierce. He didn't want to say more. Humans could be sacrificed, but they couldn't die meaninglessly, allowing those low-level gods to devour them, just to create a positive image for the gods.

He found this way of dying ridiculous and not worth it.

But the gods didn't see it that way. They felt that Kagura was an obstacle. Even if he was extremely powerful and comparable to the most powerful gods, there was no reason for him to act this way and go against the tide. This was a path to death.

The shadows of the past can be put aside for now; to quell external threats, we must first secure internal stability.

Sensing the gods' intentions, Tendou Kagura calmed down, and that was what he thought too.

He stood there, exuding an imposing aura without anger, his empty, deep-set eyes like unfathomable pools of water.

He murmured to himself, "Perhaps I should kill you all and go alone to fight the Outer Gods!"

The Heavenly Dao Kagura, no longer suppressing itself, unleashed the aura of a god-slayer. The mere outpouring of this power caused the most terrifying things to happen: it was as if a black hole was slowly being born, its mass unimaginable, crushing the void of the spirit realm. This power interfered with reality, creating horrific phenomena in the depths of space, drawing in countless meteorites and asteroids with inexplicable gravity, resulting in massive collisions.

The gods paled, sensing the awakening of an unfathomable powerhouse who nearly suppressed the spirit realm, and even the shadows of the past retreated.

As Tendo Kagura spoke, he took a step forward, seemingly intending to truly slay the gods.

All gods, come swiftly to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Thirty-Two: You lead the way, I'll lead the raid.

Tendo Kagura is not one to hesitate or be indecisive; he acts decisively.

With the meteorite on his back, he made his move directly, his palm and fingers like a monument, striking out.

As this hand crushed through the void, erasing everything, it carved out a chasm between heaven and earth.

The god trembled inwardly, his face showing surprise. Without hesitation, he raised his azure scepter, and instantly an endless ocean surged forth, enough to submerge the land.

This is a boundless tsunami, representing the authority of the divine.

Those who have reached their level possess corresponding power and can no longer fight like lower-level gods using their divine bodies. They have explored higher levels of power.

But Tendou Kagura directly split the sea in two, and that hand quickly swung forward, reaching close and slashing out without hesitation.

The azure scepter snapped on the spot, and with its momentum, struck him on the head.

The divine body of the god immediately exploded, turning into countless rays of light and dissipating, shattered into pieces.

As a result, some of the stars in the spirit world also disappeared, and the star symbolizing this god-lord retreated directly into the shadows.

Tendou Kagura continued to stride forward, slapping the left and then the right, crushing all the subordinate gods of this god-lord. There were only three of them, so they were not very conspicuous among the many pantheons.

During this process, a great god was terrified and transformed into a ray of light to escape, but the Heavenly Dao God Music stepped out and followed, stomping him to death.

He then turned to other pantheons.

He remembered clearly the gods who had previously pressured him. Most of them had acted and were very hostile towards him, mostly because they believed he had interfered with their path back to the human world and was an enemy of the gods. Only a small number remained indifferent.

Kagura Tendou didn't want to explain. He took another step, seemingly intending to make another move.

Then it was stopped.

This is a supreme deity in the spirit world, and few beings can compare to him. He is currently hidden in the mist, and his true form is not visible.

Tendou Kagura could only feel a kind of oppressive aura that regarded all things as mere straw dogs.

His expression was stern. He knew that this was the intervention of a deity from an ancient civilization.

This deity stood in front of the Heavenly Dao Kagura.

At that moment, the gate of that magnificent and majestic temple opened, and pure light emanated, illuminating the spirit realm. Pure white feathers fell, and a special, divine voice came from within.

"We can now discuss how to defeat the Shadows of the Past."

A Buddha radiating golden light nodded in agreement.

Indeed, those gods are all dead, there's no need to waste any more time; the problem still needs to be solved.

Regarding the relationship between the human world and the gods... that's not an issue right now; that can be postponed. The most urgent task is to prevent the shadows of the past from eroding the spirit world.

Tendou Kagura looked around, and the gods immediately noticed that this mysterious powerhouse was carefully scrutinizing them.

His aura quickly subsided, and he composed himself, as if nothing had happened.

"I need you to give it your all," Tendo Kagura said silently.

The supreme deity who first stopped the Heavenly Dao Kagura said, "The source of the corruption is outside the world."

The gods and the shadows of the past had been fighting for many days and had long been aware of this matter.

Moreover, they weren't always losing; they also had victories. Strictly speaking, they didn't actually lose many times.

Because the gods are extremely passive, winning is considered a victory as long as they don't lose land, so the win-loss ratio is impossible to calculate.

And those strange forces, no matter what setbacks they encounter, will eventually make a comeback, just like an unkillable cockroach.

That power erupted on a large scale three times. The first time, it caught them off guard, and the spirit world almost cracked open. The second time, the pressure was so great that it forced the gods to shift their battle lines back, and an unlucky god accidentally fell into the mortal realm.

Furthermore, the most serious consequence was that the spirit realm was torn apart, and these gods were driven out of their divine kingdoms, fleeing the area as if they were refugees.

"Because the spirit world is used as a stepping stone to erode the mortal world," Tendo Kagura said. His god-slayer state cannot last long. This power involves the level of rules and can only be used by near-gods of the Shadow System. Tendo Kagura is not a member of the Shadow System and cannot currently decipher the correct path of the Shadow System from the dark marks on his body.

Continuing to activate Godslayer would actually be a huge burden for him.

Moreover, soldiers faced soldiers, and generals faced generals.

If the power of a god-slayer is used on the path forward, it will ultimately render them powerless against the source.

Just like his true form, although one arrow can transform into ten thousand arrows, it also consumes a great deal of his own energy.

“The source of the Shadows of the Past is not singular. We have seen many kinds of Shadows of the Past, but few can pose a threat to the Spirit Realm. We need to accumulate power,” the other God Lords said.

Kagura Tendou nodded. The Yamata no Orochi died at the hands of the illusory thing, successfully killing itself. That power and the writhing shadow were clearly two different systems.

The second node ended with the arrival of three Outer Gods' retinues.

However, the three types of familiars, as Sequence 4, cannot invade the real world because the gods will not stand idly by.

One can imagine that to enter the interior of the world, one must tear a crack in the strict world rules, and must first complete the erosion of the rules. The Eternal Darkness, which initially eroded the second node, possessed the dark rules, making the nights of humanity dark and without a ray of light.

The Night Watch missions issued by the system are essentially also aimed at preventing the corruption.

Moreover, the second node initially lacked supernatural power, so it was unable to stop the disaster and could only watch helplessly as it struck.

Finally, the strange creatures they unleashed, in tandem with their allies from outside the world, caused the world to break down, pulling it into chaos and consuming its very essence.

"If we try to stop the Shadow of the Past, it will inevitably cause a fierce backlash, and it may get out of control."

"I'll deal with the source; you just need to clear the obstacles for me." Tendou Kagura was very calm. He knew that the Spirit Realm was a crucial buffer zone. Once the Spirit Realm returned to the mortal world, the Outer Gods would no longer be able to act so recklessly. Although they could still extend their tentacles to the Spirit Realm at that time, they would inevitably have to consider the rules of the mortal world.

After a brief discussion, the deities agreed that it was feasible.

The gods are arrogant, but only in relation to mortals.

They can also defeat the Shadows of the Past, but the price they pay is unacceptable, because demons lurk among the Shadows of the Past, and even the great gods can fall.

In fact, some gods have already begun to perish, but the gods do not feel any sense of sorrow for the passing of their fellow gods; they do not consider themselves a group.

After the discussion, Tendou Kagura said nothing more, took out the meteorite, and revived it. It was as if she was holding an inverted galaxy. The sharp arrow gathered a terrifying aura, making the gods tremble and retreat in unison.

Then the arrow exploded in the curtain-like shadow ahead.

The writhing shadow suddenly shrank back, having suffered a heavy blow, and retreated to a great distance.

At that moment, all the gods joined forces and attacked directly.

The writhing shadow in front of them was completely swept away.

Since the spirit world is based on reality, there is no need to worry about causing any irreparable damage.

What the gods did was destroy the spirit realm, turn those corrupting rules into nothingness, and then let the forces of the mortal world reshape the destroyed space.

The gods joined forces, each employing their own methods. All the pantheons used their full power, and the stars in the spirit realm shone brightly at this moment. This was a projection of the stars in the mortal world onto the spirit realm, moving in sync with the gods and echoing each other from afar.

This is a power powerful enough to shift the stars and move the world; no one can stop it. Even the Heavenly Dao Kagura couldn't help but take a look, realizing that the gods were indeed at a high level.

Everyone was busy. The temple shone with brilliant light, and four horse-riding knights emerged from the light. Each of them was a god-like figure. They were the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, carrying swords, bows and arrows, scythes, and other weapons. They were extremely brave, and their several charges repelled large swathes of shadow.

They advanced extremely quickly, but the spirit realm was vast, and although it was deep within the spirit realm and not as boundless as the surface universe, it was actually without end.

All gods, swiftly come to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Thirty-Three: The Source of Erosion

The gods summoned the projections of the stars to stabilize the entire spirit realm, and then swept across the universe, carving a path through the boundless, writhing shadows to reach even deeper depths.

They are truly terrifying, possessing the legendary power and being the source of mythology. Some of the rumors are not unfounded, especially the gods of ancient civilizations, who have already reached the pinnacle. The next step forward is the Sequence 4 level.

But for Tendo Kagura, the so-called gods are just more powerful life forms.

Different environments have different definitions; any being stronger than oneself can be called a god.

The gods joined forces and pushed forward.

During this time, countless demons jumped out of the city. They were irrational and aimless, driven only by endless, frenzied instincts.

This is the devil, the opposite of the gods.

Among them are many powerful demons, comparable to the gods, but they are not fighting against all the demons in the spirit world—that's impossible. Even the gods must retreat, because the number of demons is virtually endless.

The gods only needed to reach the source of the corrosive power, so their journey was relatively smooth.

I don't know how much time has passed; time is truly ethereal and unreal in the depths of the spirit world.

boom!
