"Could she also be a descendant of Amaterasu?" If so, then they should be considered to be related by blood, with the blood of their ancestor awakening in his body, but that goddess's aptitude is probably no weaker than his.
The sheer power of their offspring if they were to unite is enough to spark the imagination.
The great-grandson was very interested.
"If I go to the shrine again, how confident am I of being able to seize the Yata no Kagami?" He looked at the Kusanagi no Tsurugi. Holding this sword, he would no longer fear the power of the Yata no Kagami. The priestess Shimizu was dead, and that goddess was not as strong as him. If he planned carefully, he might be able to seize the Yata no Kagami.
"I want both the divine artifact and the person. When the two divine artifacts join forces, we can win even if we encounter a reincarnated supernatural being..." Thinking this, he was very excited.
Just then, a flippant voice came from the pile of rocks ahead.
"Oh, Your Highness, where are you headed?"
The great-grandson stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a young man dressed in magician's clothes standing among the rocks by the sea. The young man was leaning against a rock and blocking the great-grandson's way.
The tall magician's hat was eye-catching and dignified, but beneath it lay a cynical face. Thick dark circles under his eyes and a grizzled stubble, especially his melancholic gaze, betrayed the vicissitudes of life; he was clearly a man with a story to tell.
The great-grandson asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
Ordinary people don't know his identity, and even fewer know his name. Could he have been sent by the Divine Palace? He killed the High Priest of the Divine Palace, thus incurring a great enmity.
“I’m just a nobody, I’m afraid it would offend His Highness’s ears if I told you.” Rom said with a smile, his eyes fixed on the black short sword in his hand, his smile widening. “This must be the legendary divine sword, the nemesis of the legendary Yamata no Orochi. I wonder if His Highness would allow me to examine it.”
Great-grandson sneered: "You think you're worthy?"
Rom smiled without saying a word.
But soon, the great-grandson realized something was wrong. "Wait, are you a real psychic?"
His expression changed slightly. A psychic is not comparable to an ordinary person with some magical power. It means that they can use supernatural powers and spells. But has a god already been born in this environment?
His expression had been cold, but it softened now: "You have this talent, although not as good as mine, it is still quite rare. I'll give you a chance, follow me, and if you make merit in the future, I can consider letting you examine the Kusanagi Sword."
The great-grandson appeared serene, but his tone betrayed arrogance. Holding the Kusanagi sword, he exuded an imposing aura, yet it seemed as if he were bestowing a handout.
Rom quipped, "Your Highness is ruthless. He wiped out the entire line of the reclusive emperors. I heard that the High Priest of Shimizu also died because of you. It's terrifying. I really dare not follow you."
"You're asking for death!" The great-grandson's eyes were cold. How dare someone who had just become a spirit medium mock him?
He was just about to make a move when he stopped in his tracks and saw an old man's figure emerge from behind a boulder beside him.
This person is dressed in modern attire and old-age clothing, but has an ancient face with sunken cheeks and wrinkles all over his face. His eyes are wise and clear, and he has a kind of detached and otherworldly air about him who has experienced life and death.
After a moment of silence, the great-grandson asked, "Which supernatural being has been reincarnated?" This person made him sense danger; he was no ordinary individual.
"My name was Kamo no Ozunu in my younger days."
Great-grandson's expression changed drastically. This was truly an ancient relic; he was the founder of Onmyoji, and even Abe no Seimei would call him his grandmaster.
Why is the monk seeking me out?
"The Kusanagi Sword cannot fall into your hands." En no Ozuku was very frank. His great-grandson was too bloodthirsty, but his talent was very strong. If it was not restrained, it would cause a bloodbath in the future.
"Hmph, you're coveting the royal artifacts?"
Yi Xiaojiao remained silent; he couldn't accept this label.
But then Rom laughed loudly, "The Yamata no Orochi has become possessed, and the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi has awakened on its own, but its power is almost gone. It can only emit a wave that spreads throughout Japan, allowing someone to bring it to Izumo. Whoever suppresses the Orochi will obtain the divine sword. This is a rule set by Amaterasu, and His Highness should know this. Moreover, the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi is not a royal possession. Even if it were, Kamo no Kami also had royal blood. You should address Kamo no Kami as your ancestor. How can you be so disrespectful?"
"God" is an honorific title for someone with great supernatural powers.
The fate of the world changes, and divine artifacts are replaced. You did not suppress the Yamata no Orochi, so En no Tsukumo is more qualified to take it.
After a moment of silence, the great-grandson glanced at Rom with murderous intent in his eyes. He remembered this guy; otherwise, with his old-fashioned thinking and lack of a sense of righteousness, he might have been fooled by him.
Without hesitation, the great-grandson turned and left.
"Wait!" Yi Xiaojiao called out softly. He was skilled in magic and used an array to seal off the space.
But how could the great-grandson dare to linger? Yi Xiaojiao was known as a bodhisattva in the human world back then, and now that he has been reincarnated, he is on the same level. If they were to face each other, he wouldn't dare to say he would win without having two divine artifacts in hand.
He used the Kusanagi Sword to cleave through space, and then used the Kusanagi Sword to transform into a dark light and escape.
"It seems the Kusanagi Sword still has some residual power," Rom sighed upon seeing this. Although his strength was inferior to these two, he still had insight; with the enhancement of a divine artifact, all laws could be broken.
"No rush, the marker has already been placed, let me locate it." Yi Xiaojiao was very calm, his face was old, and a divine light flashed in his eyes as he captured the traces of his great-grandson through the distant void.
Rom nodded respectfully. Having an extra artifact at this stage would definitely be a good thing for them.
Over the years, he has traveled to various places, and now he has contacted his friends, reached a consensus, and sought out the reincarnated supernatural being.
The gods remained inactive, their attitude ambiguous.
It wasn't just the reincarnated supernatural beings who could sense the impending storm; these people who came from the Dharma-ending Age were not blind either. Instead of sitting idly by and waiting for their doom, they secretly reached a consensus and, in addition to uniting humanity, secretly established a circle of supernatural beings to share resources and protect the world.
All gods, swiftly come to my aid! Those who disobey will be punished in Fengdu. Chapter Ninety-Four: Amaterasu's Rebirth
Suzuka Ise is practicing in a quiet room, dressed in a traditional red and white shrine maiden outfit.
The Yata no Kagami floated above her head, with a dark, narrow crack in the center of its surface, like an eye, coldly watching the world.
A radiant light emanated from her, her face was holy and radiant, and her magical power flowed around her, giving her a transcendent and otherworldly aura.
The freckles that appeared in her childhood began to fade and disappear, and she gradually transformed from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. Her widow's peak was slightly prominent, and her smooth, fine black hair hung on both sides of her face, symmetrically styled and falling to her cheeks, making her face appear heart-shaped, extremely charming, with a classical and elegant beauty, like an ancient princess.
She has a very good natural foundation, with harmonious features, big eyes, a delicate nose, and cherry lips. She also often has two small dimples, making her a natural beauty.
Unfortunately, he used to be very thin and frail, and his freckles made him look quite ordinary. He had no obvious advantages or disadvantages, and could only be described as pleasing to the eye. At most, one could say that he was someone you could look at a hundred times without getting tired of him.
Soon, she opened her eyes, which were as bright as ever. She took the Yata Mirror off her head and held it in her arms. She sensed that her magical power had advanced so rapidly that it might be difficult to make any further progress.
She opened the door to the quiet room and stepped out.
The two priestesses serving here, China and Man's Sakura, immediately came forward to greet them.
"How is the goddess's cultivation going?"
"The progress has slowed down considerably." Although Suzuka Ise said it calmly, the two shrine maidens exchanged a glance and could still sense that she was somewhat uncomfortable, probably because she was used to things going smoothly.
They thought that Suzuka Ise might not know the inside story, so they explained, "Your training was short, yet you already possess magical power comparable to that of Priestess Asafuji. That's already quite remarkable."
It should be said that he has extraordinary talent.
Even after fifty years of cultivation, the High Priest Asahi has only reached this level.
Qian Nai and Wan Ying both sighed. Their magical power over the past ten years had been painstakingly accumulated. It wasn't until the Spirit Realm returned and the world stopped suppressing them that they began to progress rapidly. By the old standards, they had accumulated thirty years' worth of magical power. However, this was also due to their excellent aptitude; otherwise, they wouldn't have been valued by the former High Priest.
But compared to Suzuka Ise, who went from beginner to expert in just a few days, I suddenly felt like I'd wasted my life.
Actually, they can understand.
Suzuka Ise has deep roots; in a sense, she is a born superhuman. She was just physically disabled in the past, but now she has finally risen to prominence after suffering hardships.
Everyone else cultivates magical power first before becoming a transcendent being. But she goes against the grain, taking a commanding view, so her cultivation speed... isn't too excessive?
But can the legendary divine blood really allow a person to reach such a level?
The two witches expressed their doubts. Although even a pig can fly if it stands in the right place at the right time, when it comes to cultivating magical power, both comprehension and talent are indispensable.
“I need more ancient books,” Suzuka Ise said to Chika.
Chika immediately said, "I'll go get it right away." She was used to Suzuka Ise's habit of always looking through some esoteric knowledge whenever she left the meditation room, but these were indeed very beneficial to her. The goddess had only been in office for a short time, but she was very ambitious and intelligent, so there was no need to advise her. If she were to read useless books, that would be a matter of remonstrating to the death.
Ise Suzuka watched Chinatsu leave. Accompanied by Manzakura, she went to the outer corridor and knelt down on the low table, her white wide sleeves covering her knees, placing the Yata no Kagami on her lap.
She was not yet an adult and was petite, but she sat upright with a straight back hidden in her shrine maiden outfit. Her face was indifferent, and the sacred aura that the shrine maiden outfit itself brought made her a force to be reckoned with.
She suddenly became a superhuman, but she had never had much insight or her own opinions before. Even though she was determined to change, she didn't really have any direction. When she first arrived, she still needed Chika's correction of some of her daily behaviors. A goddess should act like a goddess, maintaining her dignity and never smiling.
She was confused when she heard this, but then she remembered that she had observed Tendo Kagura before, so she began to learn his behavior and imitate his walking, sitting and lying down.
The results have been excellent, and there haven't been any problems so far.
By now, she is familiar with the goddess's status and duties.
For example, she could order others to do anything, her status was ridiculously high, and even when she ate, someone would wipe her mouth. As soon as she left the Goddess Palace, a large group of people would appear behind her, a grand procession like a military parade. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn and dignified. Some priests who were temporarily transferred from the shrine were confused but impressed, thinking that the main shrine was holding some kind of religious ceremony, so they followed. The crowd grew larger and larger, which startled the high priest Asafuji, who had received the news, and she thought that she was going to seize power.
Fortunately, she remained calm in the face of danger and changed course midway to go to the Great Shrine, a place where Amaterasu Omikami is worshipped. Once outside, she led a large group of people to silently worship for a long time.
Her original intention was simply to visit the shrine. Because she had come in a hurry, she was completely unfamiliar with this ancient shrine and planned to scout it out in case anything happened and she was unable to escape in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
This resulted in this bizarre situation.
Then she never went out again, realizing that she now needed to be a mascot, and that her every move would be watched. She could only accumulate strength and become stronger, so that even if there was no way out in the future, she could still carve out a way.
She didn't need to interfere with the operation of the shrine. The new priest and the priests managed it very well without any problems. Even though the number of believers was increasing day by day, with 100,000 people coming and going every day, it was still stable. The shrine was said to have 10 million visitors a year, which is more than 20,000 people a day. This was only a five-fold increase. Many people had already been transferred from other shrines.
As for work?
She is currently unemployed and only focuses on communicating with God.
China quickly returned carrying the wooden box. Wan Ying sat on the right, and China opened the box on the left, taking out a slightly yellowed leather-bound ancient book with a distinct tactile feel.
The characters on it are strange, moving around like fish. Even a glance at them would damage one's spirit. It records various divine arts.
The extraordinary individuals who worship gods are different from mediums. For example, the power of priests, sorcerers, and witches all comes from the gods. The gods help their believers embark on the path to the extraordinary. This system is extremely ancient and had its prototype in that primitive era. Later, mediums became gods by themselves.
Divine magic is equivalent to the spells of a psychic.
As Suzuka Ise watched, she suddenly felt a strange tremor in her heart, her whole body felt hot, and the Yata no Kagami on her leg was also trembling.
She stood up abruptly, disregarding her image, but Qiannai and Wanying did not correct her. They also looked astonished, as if sensing something, and gazed towards the inner palace.
Ring ring ring!
The bells hanging in the outer corridor of the Shrine of the Goddess moved automatically without wind, their clear and melodious sounds remarkably rhythmic, far surpassing the noise created by the great-grandson before. This was because all the bells in the Ise Grand Shrine were ringing softly, and the white connecting ropes hanging in various locations were flowing with golden divine power, as if constructing a special domain that would isolate the area from the world, starting from the torii gate.
Suzuka Ise looked down and saw that a truly beautiful eye had appeared in the narrow crack of the Yata Mirror. It was majestic and supreme. After meeting her gaze, Suzuka Ise was stunned. Then the crack began to close until it disappeared.
She raised her head and looked up at the sky, knowing that Amaterasu had been reborn!
May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu. Chapter 95: Gods Have Limits
The three of them walked briskly through the corridor, their pace extremely fast.
The Goddess Palace and the Imperial Grand Palace are very close, so it can be considered a side palace.
Upon arriving at the inner palace, they saw Priest Asafuji leading a group of priests hurrying towards them. Upon seeing Suzuka Ise, they quickly joined up with her.
His expression was a mixture of surprise and joy. His old face seemed to have been rejuvenated, and his complexion was much rosier. He was an extraordinary being, and now he could feel the divine power of Amaterasu spreading.
A thousand years have passed, and the gods have descended to earth once more, and everything must return to normal.
Without further ado, Suzuka Ise nodded to him, and then, without hesitation, took the lead to the front of the Great Shrine. Her spiritual vision was now extremely strong, and she could see the flowing light from the upturned eaves and the golden light emanating from the shrine, reflecting the sky and appearing extremely sacred.
