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

The great-grandson recognized these as warriors raised by the divine palace, who had been baptized by divine power and had developed powerful physiques through arduous training. Although they lacked talent, they were not to be underestimated and could be considered extraordinary individuals.

His great-grandson smiled slightly, released the shikigami within his body, and quickly attacked. He was of noble birth, and although his reclusive lineage had lost many things, many ancient books remained, allowing him to master the arts of various schools, have some knowledge of many spells, and be quite familiar with the shikigami of Onmyoji.

As soon as these spirits approached, they were immediately detected by the two warriors. Although they could not see them, the eerie wind was very obvious. They immediately drew their swords and slashed their palms open, hot blood flowing down the blades, ready for battle.

"Bang! Bang!" The great-grandson fired two shots in quick succession, and with the help of his shikigami, he took down the two pure warriors.

Without any barrier to conceal it, the gunshots would inevitably attract many people, but there was still time. He burst open the door to the secret vault and saw many extraordinary items inside.

"Where is the Yata no Kagami?" Gensun quickly searched through the items but found nothing related to the mirror.

The Yata no Kagami is not here!

The great-grandson was somewhat exasperated; he had come here specifically to find this ancient artifact.

He searched his memory but found no mirrors in the shrine.

There was no point in searching any further, so he used his shikigami technique to move the object, which then transformed into a gust of demonic wind that enveloped his body before rushing out.

The Ise Grand Shrine was built in the forest, surrounded by towering trees on all sides, which gave him a lot of room to maneuver and he hardly lingered.

But they hadn't gone far when they saw a girl with short black hair walking towards them, followed by two witches, who seemed to be of very unusual status.

The great-grandson originally intended to avoid them; those two witches were extraordinary beings with fluctuations of magical power within them, but there was no need to cause trouble.

But a strange sensation made him stop in his tracks.

He stared at the girl. She had short black hair, dark eyes, and an indifferent expression. Although she had some freckles on her face, she gave off a sense of transformation, like a butterfly about to emerge from its cocoon. It was foreseeable that her future beauty would amaze many people.

He appeared before the girl like a noble young man, extremely elegant.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the two priestesses asked first.

This is the secret path of the divine palace. They have lived here for many years and have never seen this person before.

"How strange, I have a strange feeling." Gensun ignored the two people and stared at Suzuka Ise, somewhat surprised, as he could vaguely sense a familiar yet unfamiliar power from her body.

"Goddess, be careful!" The beautiful shrine maiden noticed her great-grandson's strange behavior and immediately stepped aside, shielding Suzuka behind her.

"Goddess? There shouldn't be any goddesses in the Divine Palace, right? Never mind." Xuansun was puzzled at first, then shook his head and said with a smile.

Without hesitation, he moved swiftly, knocking down two shrine maidens in succession before arriving in front of Suzuka Ise.

"I've taken a liking to you. Come stay by my side." The great-grandson smiled slightly, a smile that could charm countless young women.

Suzuka Ise remained silent and calm, her heart as still as a mirror, an ancient mirror reflecting everything in the world.

Great-grandson frowned slightly.

Suzuka Ise remained silent.

Great-grandson: "..."

Ise Suzuka: "..."

There was a silent stillness, as if the air itself had frozen. There was no sound. Xuansun slowly realized that something was wrong. The girl in front of him was unusually quiet, but she gave him a very special feeling.

It was a noble, superior feeling that was difficult for ordinary people to perceive, but he had a strange feeling that the girl's figure was becoming taller and more majestic in his eyes.

How could this be? His bloodline has fully awakened, and he has directly become a superhuman. He has refined the extraordinary power within those old geezers and become even stronger. How could anyone in this world give him such a feeling?

Capture her and study her slowly!

Great-grandson put aside all distractions and took action immediately.

It was at this moment that he felt a chill run down his spine, realizing with horror that there was an ancient mirror floating in the girl's eyes.

The bronze mirror is blue with intricate patterns, including designs of tortoises and cranes.

Yata no Kagami!

The ancient artifact he sought was actually in this girl's eyes?

No, that's not right! Those are virtual images and projections!

The great-grandson was horrified, and a possibility came to mind.

"The reincarnation of Amaterasu!"

Behind them, a monstrous aura revived, unstoppable, and pressed down from afar, piercing through the void.

It is not a living, powerful being, but an ancient mirror. It was not in the inner palace, but has now awakened and fallen into the hands of Suzuka Ise.

not good!

Great-grandson's expression changed drastically, and he fled like a madman, but it was too late. The ancient artifact was terrifying beyond measure; it was the true foundation of the artifact. It only grazed him, and his shoulder completely collapsed. He coughed up blood, but he dared not linger and disappeared in a few breaths.

Suzuka Ise stared in bewilderment at the ancient mirror before her, which spun continuously as if guided by some kind of gravitational force, in a highly regular manner.

The smooth, flat mirror surface had already cracked in the center, resembling a narrow, dark eye.

May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu. Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Mysterious Land

An ancient mirror floats in the void, radiating precious light and exuding a noble aura. Its powerful pressure can subdue all things.

Suzuka Ise did not feel any pressure.

She hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the mirror. The Yata no Kagami did not resist at all, and automatically withdrew all its strange phenomena, becoming like an ordinary mirror in Ise Suzuka's hand.

"Goddess, you..." The two witches got up from the ground and were shocked by what they saw.

Suzuka Ise shook her head slightly; she didn't know what was going on either.

But one of the priestesses was stunned for a long time, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Something has happened at the shrine!"

When they rushed back to the inner palace, they found a crowd gathered inside the main hall.

"High Priest!" The two priestesses looked through the crowd and saw the lying High Priest Shimizu. They were shocked and quickly walked over, while the others quickly made way for them.

"How is this going?"

A palace official angrily said, "The reclusive imperial lineage came to visit, yet they set up a barrier and ambushed the priest."

"What are they trying to do! They'll be punished by heaven!"

"Find them and hand over that bastard who plotted against the high priest!"

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions. They had initially thought that the other faction had come to re-establish their alliance with the Divine Palace, making them potential allies who had stood together through thick and thin for generations. But this was the unexpected turn of events.

“The reclusive lineage has been severed.” The High Priestess of Qingshui interrupted them. She leaned against a wooden pillar, blood gushing out on the ground. Two powerful priests beside her were casting spells to try to stop her injuries from worsening, but with little effect.

“That man named Xuansun has a very strong ambition. I’m absolutely certain of that. He’s a ruthless person who will stop at nothing to kill everyone in his lineage. What a cruel heart he has,” said the Priest of Qingshui weakly.

She had cast a spell earlier, and although she didn't die on the spot, the prognosis was not good.

"China, you're back."

"High Priestess." The pretty shrine maiden, China, immediately came to High Priestess Shimizu's side.

"Suzuka, where is Suzuka from Ise?" The priestess of Shimizu, forcing herself to stay upright, grabbed Chinatsu's arm and asked.

“I am here.” Suzuka Ise stepped in, her expression calm, looking down at the priestess of Shimizu. The old woman had been vigorous before, but now she was on her deathbed, just as she had been before.

The capricious winds of fate blew down another leaf hanging from the tip of a branch.

When the priestess of Shimizu met Suzuka Ise, she was holding an ancient blue mirror in her hands, standing gracefully with dark eyes that revealed no emotion.

The shrine maiden China whispered a few words in the ear of the priestess Shimizu, who looked somewhat bewildered.

"So, you've already restored yourself. No wonder you've recovered your health." In the eyes of the High Priestess of the Clear Water, she was like a vibrant sapling with endless potential and a noble power.

Suzuka shook her head: "I don't know."

"It should be. The secret power that you failed to inherit at birth has returned to your body in some form," the High Priest of Clear Water murmured.

When Ise Kiriko was sacrificed to the gods, the shrine intended to atone for her sins by returning the power of the secret medicine to Amaterasu Omikami. However, they later received a message from the gods that the secret medicine was still in the human world.

"That's for the best..." Priestess Shimizu sighed. She had already received news that the secret vault had been robbed, and many things had been lost. In their original plan, they intended to use those items as compensation for the parts missing from Suzuka, Ise.

Suzuka no longer needs it. Now, she is like a human who has consumed divine blood, transforming from a mortal into an extraordinary one. Her foundation is in place, and her future is limitless.

At that moment, the priestess of Shimizu thought of many things.

"Are you going to die?" Suzuka Ise asked, seeing the priestess's eyes dim and her body beginning to emit a gray-black death aura, with illusory forms shifting and dislocations—that was her soul.

"How dare you!" the others shouted. Where did this little girl come from, speaking so rudely and even cursing the High Priest of the Clear Water?

"Shut up!" Priest Shimizu shouted, but not at Suzuka, but at the surrounding priests.

The place fell silent. The priestess of Shimizu took a breath and said, "I hereby formally announce that Suzuka Ise will henceforth be the shrine maiden of our shrine, and you shall all address her as the goddess."

A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd. The status of a shrine maiden was exalted, yet the shrine hadn't seen one for over a decade. Only a few remained thoughtful, having overheard rumors that this was likely true—the shrine was about to welcome a true shrine maiden.

“That mirror…” She noticed the antique mirror that Suzuka was holding; it looked very familiar.

The shrine maiden China whispered a few words. Before leaving, her great-grandson noticed Suzuka's strange behavior and planned to take her away, but at the crucial moment, the Yata no Kagami appeared and forced him to retreat.

"No wonder I sensed something flying past just now..."

"Did it come here on its own initiative?" the priest asked. This was very important. Legend has it that seeing the Yata no Kagami is like seeing Amaterasu. Obtaining this Kagami is equivalent to gaining Amaterasu's approval.

“I summoned it,” Suzuka Ise said. She had just encountered a crisis and, from a great distance, sensed something and summoned it. She never expected it to be a legendary artifact.

Summoned? The High Priestess of the Clear Water was stunned; this was even more extraordinary.

“The artifact has a spirit and chooses its own master automatically…” she murmured, but she was somewhat dazed, feeling that there might be more to the story.

The Yata no Kagami was not originally inside the shrine, but in a mysterious place, and should not have been summoned.

Kiriko died in that mysterious place.

“Perhaps this is fate,” the High Priestess Shimizu murmured to herself, pausing for a moment before turning to a middle-aged priest and saying, “From now on, Priestess Asafuji will take over the position of High Priestess. Everything will remain the same. If there are any matters that cannot be decided, you may discuss them with others. But remember not to interfere in the affairs of the human world. Just preserve the legacy of the shrine.”

"Suzuka, come with me." After saying her last words to Suzuka, the High Priestess Shimizu closed her eyes.

"Priest!" a group of people cried out in grief. The Priest of Qingshui had been in charge of the temple for decades, working diligently and conscientiously, and was extremely senior.

An elderly, white-haired spirit detached from her body, stood up unsteadily, ignored the grief of the crowd, and went straight in one direction.

"Where is she going?" Suzuka Ise asked.

"It's a mysterious place, a place that humans cannot reach. When the people of the shrine die, their souls all go there," the shrine maiden China replied, suppressing her sorrow.

She didn't know why the High Priestess Shimizu made this decision, but there must have been a reason.

"Goddess, please..."
