So the current problem is how the imperial lineage should conduct itself in the future.
To allow the imperial family to ascend to power and regain their former status?
However, this attitude does not align with the principles of human unity. It only demonstrates that the gods are superior to humanity, while what humanity desires is peaceful coexistence and, at the very least, ensuring that the overall interests of humanity are not violated.
Yasutaka Kimura has returned to the Prime Minister's official residence, where he now works. The officials who used to work there now have to assist him, which can be considered the pinnacle of his life.
But the pressure is even greater. The power transition is not yet over, and he is busy all day long.
If it weren't for the fact that Xin Yang was suspected to be a reincarnated supernatural being, requiring him to personally come to show his sincerity, he wouldn't even be able to leave the gate.
I had barely sat down for half a minute when the office door was pushed open and a professional man walked in, handing me some documents.
"Governor Kimura, all the psychics we could find have been assembled. After screening, there are now 67 people left. These people do indeed possess mysterious powers."
Kimura Yasutaka flipped through the documents, quickly glanced at them, and asked without looking up, "Where's that psychic from the Boso Peninsula? Why isn't he in here?"
Before the gods returned, a psychic defeated them, attracting their attention and leading them to believe that he was a reclusive master.
However, upon further investigation, they discovered that there was more to the story than met the eye; it was not an ordinary deity, but rather the resurrected form of a great god.
That's even scarier.
The secretary replied, "Takeda Saegusa claims that she is too old and was injured during the global twilight, so she is unwilling to join us. However, she has recommended two outstanding disciples to us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kimura Yasutaku turned to the bottom page, where the profiles of the two men had their heads stamped, making them very conspicuous.
"Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana?" Kimura Yasutaku frowned, especially when he saw that the two girls were both high school students. His brows furrowed even more, his empiricism kicking in, and he instinctively felt that something was amiss.
However, after checking their files, he discovered that they were also on the peninsula that day, and it was suspected that they were working as assistants for Takeda Mie.
He casually asked, "Isn't there anyone who can represent the mysterious force?"
The secretary looked troubled. They really couldn't find it. The only certainty was in Kyoto, because they could find it because the temple couldn't be hidden forever. But the Onmyoji lineage was dwindling in talent, and this generation hadn't produced many qualified psychics. They couldn't count on them. Besides, there was a living legend there, and Kimura Yasutaka needed to go there personally.
"Have all these people been gathered together?"
The secretary nodded and said, "They're all nearby and can come anytime."
"Then inform the members of the negotiation team to come to the central government office at 2 PM today to discuss matters concerning the Mysterious Group."
……
……
One more chapter owed, I had a really bad run-through today, but I'll definitely make it up.
All gods, swiftly come to my aid! Those who disobey will be punished in Fengdu: Chapter Fifty-Eight: Follow My Example
"Good afternoon, everyone. I am Yasutaka Kimura." Yasutaka Kimura said politely in his opening remarks.
He was in his thirties or forties, in the prime of his life. He wore a suit with a collar, his temples were slightly gray, his features were regular, and his sharp and determined eyes swept around, letting people know that he was not just a pretty face.
The central government building is spacious with a very high dome and fan-shaped seating, the kind that would be perfect for holding a press conference. At this moment, nearly a hundred people are scattered around.
Monks in robes, mysteriously dressed sorceresses, and people in black robes, hiding themselves very well.
These are all qualified humans who have been gathered together and are expected to become true psychics.
These people are connected to the lineage of former psychics, are knowledgeable, and have cultivated magical powers; otherwise, they would not be qualified to come here.
Jianzi and Xiaohua were among them, but they were surrounded by strangely dressed and eccentric people, making the two beautiful and fashionable young girls feel out of place.
Many people noticed them, but only glanced at them briefly before quickly looking away. Everyone was well-mannered and, not knowing their background, no one made a fuss about why there were two girls there. They were certain that they had been called over, meaning they had been screened and verified, and definitely possessed exceptional abilities—they weren't ordinary people.
Because of your strong spiritual vision, you can see things that ordinary people cannot see. A thousand years ago, this was a talent that meant you had the potential to embark on the path of the extraordinary.
But for humans, this talent is also a pressure, a kind of curse.
Because these people's perceptions are destined to be different from ordinary people, they can see only the tip of the iceberg of the world's truth, know that the world is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and are very likely to lose their lives because of this. Everyone has to live cautiously, unable to integrate into society, and live a lonely life.
Furthermore, they cannot stick together. Otherwise, if too many extraordinary individuals gather together, they are likely to attract the attention of powerful evil spirits. If they discover that the evil spirits can see them, they will all be wiped out and implicated.
"I'm sure you all have some understanding of the current state of the world, but please allow me to explain the situation in detail." Kimura Yasutaka's expression was serious, because what he was about to announce was extremely important, concerning the future.
"On the last day of April, another world was thrown into turmoil. A crack, invisible to ordinary people, appeared all over the world, as if the sky had collapsed. Then the crack disappeared, and strange things related to religion began to happen. It was designated as the day of the fall of the gods, and also the beginning of everything."
"In mid-May, mirage-like phenomena appeared in various places, but they were very inconsistent with the laws of nature. Natural disasters occurred frequently, with the most events occurring on the 17th. A total of 132 natural disasters were observed, though they were not severe. Tens of thousands of people were left homeless, and some even saw many blurry figures fighting with someone."
The "people" that Kimura Yasutaka mentioned were certainly not ordinary people.
He tapped the lectern in front of him with his index finger, and the large screen behind him immediately projected some video materials, which played on a loop.
"On the same day, abnormal weather occurred in the southern sea area of Chiba, with dark clouds covering the entire prefecture. However, this situation only lasted for a few minutes before dissipating. According to the analysis of videos unintentionally taken by the public, a huge object was seen stirring up the clouds in the sky with a clear trajectory. Its specific characteristics are extremely similar to a mythical creature."
"On May 20th, the first unknown life forms came into this world and killed millions of lives."
As he spoke, his expression became extremely serious, and the corresponding information appeared on the large screen behind him, complete with pictures and text, more comprehensive than any information available online.
"On the same day, those unknown life forms were shot dead by an arrow, and then a voice that spread throughout the world mentioned the gods of the spirit world."
The images captured by the satellite on the screen showed a cold, dark universe with a huge ball of light exploding in deep space. The brilliance of that moment even overshadowed the sun, with light radiating everywhere before finally disappearing into the Earth.
As the light faded, various life forms appeared, all of which were nailed to the void.
Everyone present subconsciously swallowed. They knew about this incident, but seeing it with their own eyes still shocked them.
In human society, no one understands the spirit world better than them, and any one of those life forms could easily wipe out everyone here. They are true gods, but now they have all perished like weeds.
On that day, many divine bodies vanished.
Even they sensed a slight loosening of the rules of the mortal world, and their cultivation of magical power was progressing more smoothly.
“Five days ago, the stars shifted, and the whole world shone brightly. Divine light rose in many places. According to you, this should be called the Land of Ascension—all the evil spirits in the world disappeared in the Land of Ascension.”
"Almost within minutes, the entire elderly population of humanity suddenly died, and the existing social system of humanity suffered an unprecedented and violent shock, for which no reason or cause has been found to this day..."
On this very day, all the factions that had sided with the gods fell silent, and all nations recognized the cruel truth and resolved to repent.
"And now it's the last day of May. Only a month has passed, and humanity, which was originally the dominant species on Earth, is now running around like headless flies."
The scene then shifts to the present day.
Hospital morgues were full, funeral homes were overwhelmed with work, and even relatives of their own employees had to wait in line for cremation. Coffin shops were ransacked, and everyone was dressed in mourning.
In many cities, order collapsed, and groups of bikers and thugs seized territory, started fighting each other, and even dragged innocent people into the mess, making the whole world seem chaotic.
Kimura Yasutaka's chest heaved violently, his voice powerful and resonant, filled with blood and fire, his eyes and face conveying a single message.
That was anger and humiliation!
He slammed his hand on the lectern, looked around at the audience, and roared, "Humanity can no longer sit idly by and wait to perish!"
"Well said!"
A cheer immediately erupted from the audience, carrying a condescending tone, like a distinguished guest in a private room commenting on the courtesan.
Kimura Yasutaka was slightly taken aback. His words were spoken from the heart, and were also intended to stir up emotions so that these mysterious people from the common people could clearly understand the current situation, share a common hatred against the enemy, and then join the mysterious group in a moment of passion. This was the smoothest way to proceed.
They had established procedures and contingency plans for unforeseen circumstances, and he was prepared to be challenged. After all, even Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang three times to gain a loyal and devoted minister.
Getting these people to join the mysterious group and stand up for the human alliance would definitely be very dangerous, so getting them to risk their lives wouldn't be easy; they'd have to show sincerity first.
He looked in the direction of the sound and found that not only him, but also others were looking at that person, all with surprised expressions.
The speaker was a black-haired, golden-eyed girl who was sitting in a seat next to an orange-haired girl. She herself was covering her face with one hand, looking quite helpless.
Yotsuya Miko.
Kimura Yasutaka knew who this was; he had specifically looked into it before coming. But based on his impression, this girl shouldn't be opposed to the Human Alliance.
"Everyone, follow my lead! Follow my lead!"
Yotsuya Miko continued, her tone filled with pleasure and excitement.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Kimura Yasutaka immediately said, "Ms. Yotsuya, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
But Miko Yotsuya's response was unconventional: "There's no need to ask, I understand."
May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu. Chapter 59: The Mysterious Group
What do you know now?
Kimura Yasutaka is a calm and composed man, with a demeanor that doesn't easily show his emotions. Even when his heart is churning, he remains calm on the surface and says, "Ms. Yotsuya, please let me continue."
"No need to say more, the Mysterious Group, right!"
Yotsuya Miko casually "said".
Kimura Yasutaka was genuinely surprised. As the governor, he naturally knew many inside stories. According to the Human Union's plan, the Mystic Group was a special organization composed of psychics targeting future supernatural events.
Human technological weapons development to this point has focused on how to kill our own kind more efficiently.
But this is ineffective against spirit beings.
They analyzed it and concluded that only mysterious forces could easily interfere with another dimension. Unless the energy was strong enough to distort space, it was impossible to make contact, let alone cause any damage.
It's as if the present world is this shore, and the spirit world is the other shore, with a river separating them.
The mediums and gods have wings, like birds, and can fly around.
However, if the technology on this side wants to interfere with the other side, it needs to unlock the secrets of dimensions, which is equivalent to filling in the river.
Because the secret of dimensions is, in a sense, equivalent to the grand unified theory of physics, but even more ethereal. At least the grand unified theory has the support of physics, while this thing has no theoretical foundation at all. Conventional physics-based spatial science is difficult to apply to the spirit world.
Now there's no time to study the secrets of dimensions, so we can only try to grow wings like others.
Therefore, the Mysterious Group was born.
Humanity unites with a human-centered approach, distrusting the gods and their influence on Earth. They can only seek the legacy of psychics, because those who have seen the materials believe that the legacy of psychics is the true power of humanity.
They had been preparing intensively for a long time, secretly searching for mysterious figures from all sides, but with little success in the past.
It wasn't until recently that many mysterious forces were exposed—before, when the situation was unclear, these mysterious forces dared not expose themselves. The allure of supernatural power to humans is self-evident; they might easily become targets.
These mysterious forces only emerge after confirming the return of the spirit world; they are not cowardly, but rather there are too many negative examples of them.
For example, those mysterious forces that lacked composure and carelessly exposed themselves either declined or disappeared.
A powerful nation benefits from its strong foundation and execution capabilities, and has already begun to take the form of a mysterious group.
In particular, a certain ancient civilization, which holds a high international standing, has long established a complete membership, and the headquarters of the Human Union is currently located in that country.
It's not because it's the only country whose traditions haven't been interrupted, but more because of its mythological features.
