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

Seeing that the boy was well-educated and reasonable, she approached him, bowed slightly, and asked, "Hello, do you remember me?"

Her bright golden eyes, like glittering gold, possessed a magical quality. Her thin shirt fit her well, and her short skirt was appropriate, making her appear charming and serene. Her fair and shapely legs were also slender and long. Standing here quietly, she exuded an impeccable girlish charm.

Takeda Saeko's expression was very serious as she slowly spoke, "Of course I remember you and your friends." As she spoke, she glanced at Yurikawa Hana, who looked completely bewildered.

This attitude was by no means that of entertaining a customer, nor did it regard Yotsuya Miko as a fat sheep summoned by Yūria, but rather as communicating with one's own kind.

Jianzi also clearly noticed that her mother-in-law, who was kind and warm last time, seemed to have seen something in them now.

She was always one to keep her emotions hidden, and nodded slightly, saying, "That's good. Um... Mother Goddess, I have some things I need to consult you about."

"Looks like I'll have to close up shop early today."

Takeda Sae nodded slightly. "Please come in."

She invited Miko Yurikawa into the room, where there was a small cubicle where Takeda Saegusa usually lived. Yuria also took the opportunity to sneak in, though she herself was unaware of it. As the chief disciple of the Goddess, wasn't it normal for her to participate in what was to come?

Takeda Saegusa believes that Yūria is also involved in this matter, otherwise she wouldn't have brought Miko to find her.

Jianzi also believed that Youlia, as the chief disciple of the Goddess, could also represent the power of the Goddess's side.

Thus, the two sides began their talks.

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter Seven: The Spirit World

"Please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Yotsuya Miko, and this is Yurikawa Hana," Miko said solemnly.

“There aren’t many polite girls these days. I’m Takeda Mie, just call me Grandma Mie, no need to call me by such an old-fashioned name as Goddess,” Takeda Mie said kindly.

Yuri Kawana tapped her lips with her finger and said, "Hmm, is the name 'Goddess' too rustic? I think it sounds very imposing."

Seeing that Zi looked somewhat puzzled.

"Then why did you hang up the sign of the Goddess?"

When Takeda Saegusa brought this up, his face turned cold as he said, "Hmph, wasn't it my master who helped me get this title?"

Indeed, the mysterious world does have its own traditions, but they are never revealed to the public.

Seeing that Zi was pondering in her heart, she knew that she had come here to find out more clues and pass them on to Tendo Kagura, so she asked again, "Then what should people like us be called?"

Takeda Saegusa was somewhat taken aback by Miko's frankness. Shouldn't this kind of topic be discussed more subtly?

However, when she met Yurikawa Hana, she seemed to understand.

"A psychic!"

Yuri Kawaka's eyes widened as the conversation took a strange turn.

"Hey! Jianzi, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything."

"Hua, sit still."

Yurikawa Hana stared with bright eyes, "But I don't understand!"

"Hana!" Yotsuya Miko put on a stern face, like the most serious teacher in kindergarten, which instantly calmed the restless Hana down.

"People are scared," she muttered to herself.

"Take this." After taking her blood-red jewel out of her pocket, Miko handed it to Yurikawa Hana.

Hua's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the thing in his hand, then looked extremely comfortable and relaxed.

"You're not allowed to eat it, or I'll never talk to you again," Jianzi threatened fiercely.

"Hi!" Baihechuanhua said with great joy. She had no intention of eating it. She just felt that this thing was very strange. As long as she held it in her hand, she would feel full. It was such a comfortable feeling.

Takeda Mie was also drawn to the thing. She looked at Yurikawa Hana and couldn't help but take a small step back. Yuria did the same, looking at Yurikawa Hana in horror, almost shrinking into the corner.

Seeing that the child sighed slightly, he turned to Takeda Mie and said, "Please continue."

Takeda Mie interrupted Miko, staring at Yurikawa Hana's hand, having never seen anything so bizarre.

"what is that!"

Seeing Zi Wei's slight hesitation, he then said, "Blood Jade, also called Blood Body Strengthening, is there anything wrong with that?"

No, of course it's wrong.

Takeda Saegusa looked at Yurikawa Hana, whose life energy was too astonishing, even exceeding the scope of humans. It was like volcanic smoke rising overhead, surging like clouds, extremely vigorous.

Yet amidst this vibrant life force, there was an extremely eerie feeling, as if a monster was lurking or an evil beast was lying in wait. The overflowing life energy wavered and formed ferocious phantoms on Baihechuanhua's body, with inhuman features such as claws, scales, and thick tails. However, after condensing, it quickly dissipated and then reformed, transforming into various strange scenes.

But she herself knew nothing of this; her smile was innocent, her eyes pure, like a naive young girl.

"She has a powerful life force within her."

"Are there any downsides?" Jianzi hurriedly asked. She knew that Hua had taken the Blood Jade and had been worried about it. She planned to take her to see Tiandao Shenle sometime.

Takeda Saegusa shook his head, unable to tell.

With limited abilities, she found it unbelievable. She had never seen anyone with such strong vitality in her life, especially after Jianzi gave Baihechuan Hua that blood-red jade, which directly raised her life power to another level. The volcano that was originally poised to erupt completely exploded.

The surging vitality scorched the body, making one feel as if facing a steel furnace, as if being burned.

Takeda Sae stared at Yurikawa Hana and murmured, "But it shouldn't be a bad thing... So strong, really strong, her blood and qi are surging, comparable to the legendary Oni clan. Is this the legendary extraordinary talent?"

Baihechuanhua stared wide-eyed, her eyes gleaming with wisdom, wondering if this old goddess was praising her.

But why call a lady a demon?

That's so rude!

Seeing that she couldn't see the life force she was talking about, she was relieved to know there was no harm in it.

She was always worried about Hua's safety, especially after discovering that Hua had an attractive constitution.

It's good that we can protect ourselves now.

But the topic had gone astray, so she raised her hand and said, "Um, please continue."

Takeda Saegusa stared at Yurikawa Hana for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, before finally replying:

“Psychics have existed since ancient times, since the birth of civilization, though they weren’t called psychics back then.”

This ancient profession has existed throughout civilization, predating even assassins and prostitutes. In the past, psychics flourished and prospered until they began to decline in modern times.

At that time, humans and spirits coexisted.

Many ancient countries have recorded that glorious era.

Because humans and gods lived together, the influence was extremely profound.

Upon seeing Zi, he immediately thought of the recent news that had caused a great uproar, shaking the religious community and sparking countless discussions and controversies. Numerous opinions were put forward, and the news overshadowed all other news, causing a huge uproar on the internet.

Until recently, when the situation has improved, many well-known movie stars have become the new topic of discussion due to their family affairs.

But she witnessed it with her own eyes.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do gods look like?"

Takeda Sae looked rather grim, as if he had some unpleasant past events, but he still honestly told Miko about them.

"Gods... are also one of those things."

Jian Zi was stunned; the news was too shocking.

"You're not kidding, are you?" she whispered.

Are the gods actually members of the evil spirits?

Although it was extremely revolutionary, she recalled the scene she had seen in the picture and found it difficult to refute the conclusion made by the goddess.

"This has been proven since ancient times. However, compared to those things that have lost their emotions and memories, gods are more rational and possess greater wisdom and abilities. They can communicate and be responded to."

Back then, it could overturn modern people's common sense, but everything changed later.

Grandma Sanzhi said that since the beginning of primitive times, when civilization was still in its infancy and tribes were formed, they noticed this incredible phenomenon.

When a deity appears, he can manifest his divine power in the human world.

But that period can only be described as a primitive era.

The spiritualists held a high status, possessing the means to communicate with the gods, and made their first appearance as primitive priests.

In that distant era, humanity faced enemies, mentioned only briefly in fragmented documents, as well as struggles against bizarre and indescribable demons.

In the end, the evil was suppressed.

After that, civilization entered a period of great prosperity.

Human beings also gave birth to powerful beings with great supernatural abilities, comparable to gods.

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter Eight: Whispers

In those days, powerful humans could stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods because pioneers paved the way.

Later, at some point, the spirit world began to distance itself from the human world, making communication between them increasingly difficult. At first, it was alright, at least they could still respond to each other's calls.

But after a long period of time, in modern times, the spirit world has completely disappeared from the human world.

Almost all the gods have disappeared.

As a result, those powerful beings who were both human and divine among humankind lost their source of power and became difficult to appear again.

After a moment of contemplation, Jianzi asked, "What exactly is the Spirit Realm?"

"That is the world of spirits, and all spirits exist because of the spirit world."

According to Granny Sanzhi, this applies to all spirits, whether they are gods, evil spirits, or benevolent spirits.

"Why is the spirit world so far away?" Jianzi asked.

“It’s hard to say. Some say there’s a problem within the spirit world, while others say it’s a cycle. Even my master doesn’t know much about it.” Grandma Sanzhi’s master was named Oka Touko, and much of what she learned came from her.

Her master was an overly kind person who was always trying to help others and didn't care much about these ancient secrets.

It is precisely because of people like this that more and more documents are disappearing from history and cannot be passed down.

Some knowledge cannot be written down; it needs to be sealed in secret language to be recorded, otherwise it will bring disaster.

Seeing this, he asked again, "Are there really no gods in the human world?"
