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

Suzuka Ise was dressed in a traditional red and white shrine maiden outfit. She originally had short hair that reached her ears, but now it had grown quite a bit longer, falling lightly over her shoulders. Her smooth hair naturally fell on both sides of her face. After spending many days at the shrine, she now looked more like an ancient beauty, with a classical charm, as if she had stepped out of a historical painting.

She gazed at the dark sky where lightning occasionally burst forth. She crammed a lot of knowledge. To outsiders, it seemed that she had gained the favor of Amaterasu. The lord of the pantheon had personally taught her divine arts and spells, and had also told her many unknown secrets. Therefore, she understood the true nature of the scene before her.

God created the world in seven days and is now destroying it with seven seals, symbolizing the cycle of a new era. This upheaval was actually orchestrated thousands of years ago, with the gods plotting behind the scenes of history, and its influence is extremely profound.

As time went by, she gradually realized that the original spirit world dimension was becoming more and more distant.

They and Earth at this moment are like the legendary ark, about to reach a new shore.

During this process, the gods did not lose power due to leaving the spirit world.

Because the latitude of heaven can accommodate all the gods.

"Will humanity become extinct because of this?" she suddenly asked, her expression calm, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

"How could you think that?" Ceres chuckled upon hearing her words, saying, "Humans are also indispensable to the gods."

The vast majority of gods are the reincarnations of humans after they die.

Because the more logical a life form is, the more likely it is to awaken a new self after death.

From pure animality arises humanity, and from humanity arises divinity—this is evolution.

Without human beings as intelligent beings, new gods could not be born, and the world would gradually turn into a stagnant pool, which is something the gods would not want to see.

"So what if humanity becomes extinct because of this? What does it have to do with you?" Amaterasu smiled faintly. She was clearly smiling, but it was difficult for humans to perceive any genuine smile from her upturned lips and slightly narrowed eyes; there was only a sense of detachment.

Amaterasu admired this masterpiece, resting her chin on her hand, without speaking or transmitting her voice.

But Suzuka Ise could hear a seemingly casual remark quietly surface in her mind.

"You have now become one of the gods,"

Suzuka Ise glanced at her sideways, staring at her for a moment. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

Amaterasu inscribed a magic circle resembling an altar within her body, not to sacrifice her or possess her body; Amaterasu herself also possessed such an altar.

Like the positive and negative poles of a magnet, she and Amaterasu were bound together by a destiny.

In the darkness, there is no way to escape, for fate will connect them together.

This is a method of combining bodies created by this deity based on the principles of Yin and Yang.

According to Onmyoji, Ise Suzuka has now reached the level of a Great Onmyoji, and is also Sequence 7.

It wasn't because she worked particularly hard; in fact, she hadn't been deliberately cultivating during this period, but her cultivation level and magical power were still increasing rapidly, multiplying day and night, and she was making progress every day.

Conversely, Amaterasu is also getting weaker and weaker.

It was as if an invisible rope bound the two people tightly together, tightening more and more until it eventually pressed them down into one.

Amaterasu transferred all her magical power and cultivation to her.

Now, she can gradually hear Amaterasu's inner thoughts, and in turn, Amaterasu can hear her inner thoughts...

Their thoughts are synchronizing and merging into one, with an irresistible trend.

Suzuka Ise's eyes began to turn cold.

"Are you still resisting me? I won't hurt you. I will protect you as I would protect myself."

"From now on, no one will be allowed to bully you. If anyone dares to bully you, I will never let them get away with it, whether they are human or god..."

Amaterasu smiled faintly; she was dressed in gold with black hair, radiant and beautiful.

"I don't need you to protect me!" Suzuka Ise's attitude was very curt.

In this ritual of coexistence, the further time goes on, the stronger their influence on each other becomes.

She could even guess her future—she would become a memory of Amaterasu's long life, just like a reincarnation of Amaterasu, while Amaterasu would become 99% of her life, almost occupying her entire existence.

She will not hurt herself, because she will become a part of herself, like a drop of water falling into a full glass.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect you to think this way," Amaterasu said. "But have you ever thought that without power, you will be bullied? Although you are a very powerful being among humans, you are still not enough to the gods. Even the weakest of the gods can easily kill you."

"Although this world has been embellished by humans, it is still essentially a naked law of the jungle, devoid of any gentleness. The weak must obey the strong to survive, or they will perish."

"Little Deer, you don't want to live in constant fear, do you?"

Suzuka Ise remained silent for a moment, when a memory surfaced in her mind—the humiliating memory of being arbitrarily beaten and verbally abused in the alley.

It was something that happened not long ago, but now it felt like it happened in the last century, like an old, blurry videotape, faded and distorted, with no clear details.

All she could recall was that extremely cold statement, the one the person had asked her.

Is it them?

Looking back now, it seems like a world away.

She turned her head and stared blankly into the distance. The wind and rain raged, and the ancient temple seemed to be isolated from the world, unable to hear a sound from the outside.

Even if you live in fear... so what?

"What are you thinking about? Let me hear it... Hmm, it's actually that brother who abandoned you..." Amaterasu's already faint smile began to disappear.

"Now it should be said—it's our brother who abandoned us. Kagura Tendo, that heartless man, actually did such a thing."

Suzuka Ise suddenly turned her head, gritting her teeth and staring intently at Amaterasu. Her deep eyes seemed to be on fire, as if those words had pierced her heart.

"Yes, yes, that's the look in her eyes—an indomitable look, a look of resentment towards fate, a fierce look that wants to tear the whole world apart!" Amaterasu exclaimed in admiration of Suzuka Ise's eyes. Some people's eyes cannot be hidden; they are like a flame burning fiercely.

That kind of ferocity that comes from the bone is like a frail, harmless fawn gradually revealing the sharp teeth and claws of a wolf.

Reika Ise was never a weak person. Because of her own experiences, she was prone to extremes and had a radical personality. She had thought of taking Tendo Kagura down with her before, until the misunderstanding was cleared up.

She was actually prepared to stab someone. Even if it meant using every method, she would cut a piece of flesh from the person who hurt her, to let them know the taste of pain.

"Even if I die, I will kill you!" Suzuka Ise's expression was terrifying. She squeezed out these words through clenched teeth, then turned and disappeared into the shadows behind the inner palace.

"Are you making things harder for yourself?" The Valley Goddess shifted her gaze from the direction Suzuka Ise had left, and smiled as she spoke to Amaterasu. She was an ancient deity from the other side of the strait, not a native, but she had a friendship with Amaterasu spanning thousands of years. Long before Japanese civilization even existed, she had come to this land and encountered the newly awakened Amaterasu.

In other words, she was Amaterasu's guide.

The spirit of the valley never dies; it is called the mysterious female. The gate of the mysterious female is called the root of heaven and earth; it exists continuously and inexhaustibly, and its use is never-ending.

She was the mother of the God of Food here, until later she was changed to the God of Abundance. Human mythology has a lot of fabrications, but the truth is not like that. For example, the legend says that the God of Food killed the God of Food under the moonlight and obtained various grain seeds from her body.

In reality, it was only because she was invited by Amaterasu that she became the goddess of Toyokuke, abandoned her identity as the mother of the goddess of food, and co-founded the Ise Grand Shrine with her.

It is perfectly normal for gods to have many identities. Even the same being in the same region can be given different divine names by ignorant humans.

For example, her original pantheon included figures like Haotian, Dijun, and the Jade Emperor; he could even be called God, which is all quite reasonable.

"That little deer has a devil in her heart. If you provoke her any further, something unexpected might really happen."

"Wouldn't that be better?" Amaterasu smiled faintly. "Actually, I'm hoping she can create a miracle and devour me instead. That doesn't change the fact that we're one; it's just a different personality. In that case..."

Amaterasu gazed in the direction of the five supreme deities.

"Even they can't stop us now."

"You've staked everything on that little deer, betting everything on becoming supreme... Are you going to become the master of the new world?"

Amaterasu countered, "Don't you think there are too many people standing on the very top floor?"

The God of Grain did not answer.

Those five supreme gods ruled for an extremely long time, from the early days of civilization to the present day, spanning thousands of years. Their rule was deeply entrenched, and many gods had attempted to reshuffle the order, but all had failed. The most famous of them all was the god named Xing Tian.

After his defeat, he was banished to the core of the spirit world and never returned, completely losing himself.

Now that they have built heaven, no one will be able to touch their throne in the foreseeable future.

After all, although gods are far more extraordinary, they also have human emotions and desires, understand joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and participate in human activities. The only difference between gods and humans is that the former are immortal and rarely perish, while the latter have finite lives and are subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death.

They also do not want to see any gods sitting on equal footing with them.

Amaterasu continued, "Actually, there's another reason: I saw Suzuka Ise's brother's face in her memories..."

She gazed at the sky, a faint smile on her face, just as always.

……

Chiba.

A disheveled figure moved swiftly between floors like a swallow skimming the water.

Great-grandson's face was extremely pale, with veins and bulging veins on his forehead, making him look frightening. He had lost his former elegance and composure.

The reason was that the Kusanagi Sword had broken free of control and mysteriously flown away. According to the senses, Amaterasu had recalled the divine weapon.

His mentality collapsed on the spot. At the critical moment, he used a desperate measure to undermine his cause. Although he became a great Yin-Yang Master with the help of the demon sword, this method was considered an evil path by traditional spiritualists and was prone to backlash.

Without the demonic sword to suppress it, the resentment of the life forms he had absorbed and refined immediately rebelled, causing a conflict of magical power and an unstable foundation, almost making him go berserk.

He risked his life to escape during the sudden change in the world, only to be relentlessly pursued and killed. After a series of misfortunes, he suspected that he was being targeted by the heavens.

Behind them, Miko Yotsuya and Hana Yurikawa followed closely, determined to eliminate this dangerous individual.

Using the darkness to conceal himself, Nishimiya Yuzuru quietly followed his great-grandson's figure, leaving dark marks along the way to indicate the path ahead.

In the end, the great-grandson was blocked in a wilderness, with no way to go to heaven or earth, and he fell into despair.

Survival itself is the most powerful resistance against absurdity: Chapter Eleven: A More Violent Storm

Wilderness and forests.

A girl with short orange hair emerged from the darkness ahead. She was plump with a round face and very cute, but she stood quietly, blocking the way.

The great-grandson's face was covered with bluish-purple lines, much like varicose veins. The dense blood vessels writhed like worms, full of vitality, as if they were about to crawl out of his flesh.

He was in unbearable pain, and his once handsome face looked as if it had been disfigured.

Because psychics see a different world than ordinary people, they have an extremely high tolerance for pain and can also endure physical changes.

But the orange-haired girl in front of him made his heart sink to the bottom, and he felt a chill.

This girl appeared extremely youthful and beautiful, full of energy, like a high school girl. She was so young, but she possessed a powerful energy within her that even ghosts and gods would avoid.

He briefly fought the girl while controlling his shikigami, but before he could even get close, he was directly blasted away, his soul scattered.

She stands here, like an untouchable taboo.

From the perspective of a psychic, who can observe the true viewpoint, the girl is like a furnace, constantly radiating astonishing life energy. Her condensed essence soars into the sky, manifesting in the outside world and forming a unique protective layer.

The only things that can compare to this almost boiling life force are mythical monsters and zombies, and only those monsters that are famous.
