"Yes, we are born prisoners, bound to this world to struggle, enduring birth, aging, sickness, and death, all in vain, ultimately returning to our origins. Everything is a dream, an illusion; we are nothing but the world's delusion."

Seeing the glint in Zijin's eyes, he pondered for a moment and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

“Freedom…” Yoria’s voice was ethereal, as if she were talking in a dream.

The phone hangs up.

"Does such a world really exist? The origin of all life?" Miko stared at her phone, pondered for a moment, and asked Kuro Miko, "Are you also from the world that Yuri spoke of?"

But Kuroko seemed to be in a bad mood. Her words were extremely cold: "Don't ask me!" Then she gave a haughty snort and disappeared.

But Zi already had the answer in his heart.

Seeing that she had dialed Rom's number, intending to get to the bottom of things, she realized that she and Rom hadn't seen each other for a while. Since he went to Tokyo, they hadn't been in contact at all. His whereabouts were strange, and he seemed to have other plans.

When the call connected, Rom's characteristically cynical tone came through.

"Huh, why did you suddenly contact me, Miss Jianzi? Do you think the Human Union isn't a good fit for you? Are you planning to switch jobs?"

Seeing that Zi had gotten straight to the point, "Mr. Rom, I heard you're back?"

Rom was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss Miko is really resourceful. You found out as soon as I got back. If I didn't trust Miss Miko, I would have thought you had placed some kind of location-tracking spell on me."

Jianzi said casually, "I learned about this by accident. I have no ill intentions. I just wanted to ask Mr. Rom who he is chasing?" She did not intend to expose Youlia. Youlia's form was too strange. Once exposed, there was a 90% chance that she would be hated by everyone.

"I'd forgotten. It seems Miss Miko enjoys the governor's deep trust; she must have considerable influence." Rom quickly found a plausible explanation: he'd heard the Japanese governor had nominated Yotsuya Miko. And since psychics have many methods, this wasn't a big deal; he was frank and explained his purpose.

"A dangerous individual..."

Rom quickly explained the origins of his great-grandson. After the return of the spirit world, the rules no longer suppressed the power, and the lost magic regained its original strength. The remaining mysterious forces also began to use magic to intermittently restore their connection.

"He slaughtered his entire clan, using the lives of his own kin to sustain himself, and now his strength is very close to that of a Grand Onmyoji..."

The title of "Great Yin-Yang Master" is the realm of a spiritualist. According to traditional beliefs, such a person is capable of standing alone, dividing up territory, and establishing their own power.

In Miko's view, a Grand Onmyoji should be equivalent to Sequence 7; anything beyond that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary psychics. Although there are also shrine maidens and priestesses among Japanese psychics, Onmyoji are more inclined towards the human side.

Below the Grand Onmyoji are further subdivided into Onmyodoshi, Onmyodoshi, Onmyodoshi, and Onmyodoshi apprentices.

After hearing this, Jianzi's face immediately turned cold: "He can even do this to his own family?"

"Maybe it's because his bloodline suddenly reverted to its ancestral form, making him a psychic. The powerful energy stirred up his hidden desires, so his personality changed drastically. Who knows?" Rom said with a smile. There's nothing new under the sun; it's not incomprehensible to someone like a great-grandson.

On the contrary, it was because the great-grandson's behavior was so in line with human nature.

The villains suppressed by the Human Alliance refer to people like the Great-Grandson.

"Why would someone like this come to Chiba?" Miko frowned.

"Maybe I'm just passing by."

May all gods arrive swiftly to aid me; if I disobey, I will be punished in Fengdu: Chapter 105: He Has No Attitude

Rom was unsure if he was a mind reader, but he was certain that the man wouldn't do anything pointless at a crucial moment.

Hidden lineages are not just for show. Even without the heirlooms, they should not be underestimated. These mysterious forces could bury people alive with their collections of books alone.

For psychics, lineage is very important. Rom and Granny Saegusa were originally a lineage, but it has now become fragmented and broken, with many things lost.

However, the situation might not be the same for the great-grandson. Otherwise, an ordinary spiritualist wouldn't know how to use the Kusanagi Sword even if they obtained it, let alone escape En no Ozunu's pursuit.

"Miss Miko, could you perhaps ask Chiba to cooperate a little..." Rom asked with a smile. This was a spur-of-the-moment idea, intending to leverage official resources for assistance.

However, he wasn't officially registered, so we could only approach him through Jianzi's side.

“Ordinary people probably can’t handle this.” Yotsuya Miko hesitated. She herself was at this level and knew very well how strong this power was.

Frankly speaking, without any other extraordinary power, if she were given just two days, Japan could be renamed Yotsuya, and the world could be unified within half a month.

It sounds very assertive.

But the reality is that if she makes any move, the human alliance will notice within three to five days at most, and will directly send reincarnated supernatural beings to block her door with ancient artifacts.

At that point, they'll either hide under Kagura's dining table and never dare to show their faces again, or they'll laugh and shout "GG!"

Ultimately, it's because the methods used by spiritual healers in the early stages were limited.

Spirit mediums are different. They possess magical powers, have a wide variety of lineages, and can come up with all sorts of spells. They are really difficult to deal with. Even well-trained police officers would die within tens of meters of them without even knowing how they died.

Unless the army is deployed and traps are set in advance, it is difficult to kill them by force.

Rom could also see this point. After a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said, "There will always be sacrifices. We just need to report it in time." Even if a large-scale patrol can't dig three feet into the ground, it can still reduce the living space of the great-grandson in Chiba.

Even if it only causes him some trouble, it's worth it.

Seeing Zi ask calmly, "He shouldn't be worth all this fuss, should he?"

This time it was Rom's turn to hesitate, glancing at the young antagonist beside him.

The two were currently on the rooftop of a large building, with a commanding view overlooking half of Chiba.

Yi Xiaojiao spread his five fingers, and fine golden threads flowed from between his fingers, extending in all directions like spider silk, intending to use this to sense the whereabouts of his great-grandson.

Unfortunately, it failed. This state could not last long, it was extremely taxing, and the great-grandson's aura vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

En no Ozuno's appearance in this life was very old, with gray hair and a very aged demeanor, yet her temperament was as steady as a mountain. She nodded slightly to Rom, indicating that she could reveal more.

These people can't be kept secret forever. It's okay for now that it's only been a short time, but they'll definitely be exposed in the long run.

It's better to expose yourself beforehand than to be discovered, so as to avoid any suspicion later.

Having spent the last few days with Rom, he found him to be experienced and meticulous in his work, which he believed was a sign of trust.

"Miss Miko should know that the Yamata no Orochi perished again some time ago." They weren't unaware of the Yamata no Orochi's actions, but knowing wouldn't have made a difference.

Their current strength is at best an appetizer for Orochi.

Because Orochi had truly returned to the level of a god, and could at least be considered the strongest in Japan, but then it went wrong and fell into demonic possession again.

Then, in the blink of an eye, this candidate for Japan's strongest fighter was slapped to death on the beach.

Although they were thousands of miles away, they could still see several brilliant stars streaking across the sky, which were absolutely comparable to those of great supernatural beings in their prime.

Seeing that Zi remained silent, she realized that Xiao Hua had almost died there when she was present. He was so traumatized that he is still in seclusion, planning to break through to Sequence 7.

"Before Yamata no Orochi came to Izumo, he had met with his great-grandson once, and they talked about the concept of a divine kingdom on earth." But he felt that his great-grandson was probably acting under Amaterasu's name, otherwise, given Yamata no Orochi's style of doing things, it would be difficult for ordinary people to coexist peacefully.

But they probably didn't reach an agreement.

In the end, the Yamata no Orochi left, while his great-grandson went to the Ise Grand Shrine.

At this point, Rom suddenly changed the subject: "If I may ask, what was the attitude of the person behind Miss Jianzi towards that great-grandson prince?"

“He had no attitude…” Jianzi said softly.

She recalled the scene from before. But she felt that if they hadn't been there, Kagura Tendou would most likely have just stood by and watched Izumo become a swamp.

This is the intuition of a spiritual healer.

Rom said in a deep voice, "But he got the Kusanagi Sword." They rushed there as quickly as possible to the sea where the artifact was lost, but ultimately arrived too late.

Upon hearing this, Jianzi was very surprised. The Three Sacred Treasures have an ancient origin, and no Japanese person is unaware of them. In fact, due to cultural influence, people in other countries also know about them.

She soon learned what had happened.

According to Rom, the Yata no Kagami is enshrined at the Ise Grand Shrine, while the other two belong to the imperial family. A thousand years ago, the imperial family disappeared with the Yata no Kagami, and the imperial family in public also possessed the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, which then disappeared more than five hundred years ago.

And the eight-foot jade of the reclusive lineage... has also been lost.

This is not their fault. Mysterious forces are just ordinary forces in the Dharma-ending Age, only with added mythological elements. Naturally, they will decline and be influenced by human forces. After all, people need to eat and drink, and Japan is only so big, with no place to escape the world.

In the past, if something was lost, it was simply lost; we couldn't even afford to eat. And what if our unworthy descendants sold the real thing as an antique?

But now, with this mysterious resurgence, countless ancient artifacts have been unearthed, and countless people have gained opportunities as a result—in any case, the Human Union intends to legislate to prevent this chaos from continuing. The current situation is special, and wild extraordinary beings must be centrally managed.

“I will inform the governor,” Miko said immediately, then paused and added, “He has no interest in the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword.”

“Miss Miko, but we have other plans for the Ama-no-Murakumo Sword…” Rom subtly hinted to Miko, but Miko was speechless. Was this a plan to freeload off the resources of the Human Alliance? But it wasn’t impossible. Right now, Governor Kimura urgently needed a reliable supernatural being to oversee things, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to carry out large-scale reforms.

At that time, people like great-grandsons will all be blacklisted, and they will be arrested one by one.

But she noticed one statement and asked, "You?"

"Well, you could call us that. We're used to being free spirits and can't stand being constrained, so we had no choice but to stick together." Rom chuckled, but his words were vague and full of hidden meaning.

Yotsuya Miko pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is next to Mr. Rom?" She already knew about the reincarnation of the supernatural being, but she didn't expect Rom to be able to connect with them. Granny Saegusa's eldest disciple had always been very mysterious and had a little-known past.

Rom explained the origin of the young horn, and saw that Zi was slightly surprised.

How many of you are there?

"There aren't many in Japan, but there should be more than a dozen in India, Egypt, and other places combined."

May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone does not obey, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter 106: Now that we have seen the true God, why do we not worship?

Since ancient times, gods and supernatural beings have been sworn enemies, each wanting to smash the other's brains out.

There have been countless wars between gods, leaving behind countless legends all over the world.

The specific reason is very simple.

In ancient times, the gods ruled the sky and the earth. Mortals, unwilling to be enslaved, awakened to the will that their fate was in their own hands and established a system of spiritualists. They rose up in rebellion in various places, and after many years of war, the current situation evolved.

However, since they have both reached this level of cultivation, their true spirits have awakened and they can reincarnate, making them very difficult to kill completely.

Strictly speaking, the gods completely overwhelm the spirit mediums in terms of overall combat power.

However, different pantheons could not coexist and often led their respective gods into battle.

There were also disagreements among those ancient gods of civilization.

The so-called war of gods is not entirely a battle between deities and spirit mediums; it also includes battles between gods themselves. If a deity is defeated, or for some other reason, the powerful deities will leave their place of origin, travel elsewhere, leave behind new legends, or take root elsewhere.

For those great gods or deities, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

If it were a human, it would mean they couldn't survive here and would have to find other places to cultivate and make a living.

Therefore, many years ago, the supernatural beings discovered some clues and felt that some gods in different pantheons were extremely similar, seemingly originating from the same source.

This discovery shocked them and led to a secret alliance.

Thus, many supernatural beings disappeared into history, beginning a long confrontation with the gods of the spirit world, and ultimately coercing the gods to sign a pact.

People and the sacred well water do not interfere with each other.
