My personal opinion on Gensokyo

After listening to Shang Yang's analysis of the situation in the Moon City, Shana did not respond and spoke to Shang Yang seriously.

"But Shang Yang, the Moon City isn't necessarily without powerful beings like Bayi Yonglin and Yue Yejianwai. For example, Chang'e, who has the same origin as you and may be living deep in the Moon City, will she become our enemy because of the Moon City's stance?"

"Chang'e..."

Hearing this, Shang Yang rubbed his gray hair and thought.

"I've considered this issue, so I specifically confirmed it with Kaguya. Kaguya said that Chang'e is a factor that doesn't need to be taken into account, and other possible powerful lunar sages don't need to be considered either. Although I trust Kaguya's judgment, I'm also worried about this. After all, your and my enemies are not just the Moon City."

"And the 'history' of siding with the Moon People."

Shana took over, her expression serious.

"Although the historical causality of this world's 'fate' cannot create enemies out of thin air, and it is even more difficult to directly attack the Hundred Demons Night Parade, the historical causality of this world's 'fate' lies in its power and difficulty in tackling because of its secrecy and guiding nature. It can use history itself to anchor the trajectory of fate. Since we know that the history of the First Lunar War is the only history anchored by the abnormal historical structure, we must ensure that this predetermined historical causality is destroyed, causing the anchored historical structure to collapse."

"That's right," Shang Yang nodded, agreeing with Shana's opinion. "The simplest way to deal with this is to increase the power of the Hundred Demons Night Parade, giving the monsters an absolute advantage over the Moon City in terms of strength. This will ensure they can handle any situation."

"And the best way to increase the overall strength of the Hundred Demons Night Parade is to lead the great monsters of the Hundred Demons Night Parade to become even stronger, or..."

"…Increase the number of great monsters."

PS1: I think it's more appropriate to set the Watatsuki sisters, especially Watatsuki Yorihime, to become the first tier in the future. As for Yorihime, apart from what the God Lord said about the "strong setting", I personally think that whether from a logical or rational point of view, the Watatsuki sisters are not better than the Eight Senses Eirin...

PS2: After Blue Pearl, Iorihime no longer has a strong setting. She is obviously not as good as Junko, Hestia, and Modaro Okina...

PS3: I have read a lot of settings and bought all the foreign versions... but there is an obvious conflict. According to the foreign versions, pure foxes can kill the Moon City in seconds, and Hestia will kill everything in seconds. But combined with the Sky Scepter, that is not the case. Modaro Okina finally dared to tell Hestia, so it is impossible that she would be killed in seconds by Hestia, and Modaro Okina is a sage of Gensokyo in the same echelon as Zi Ma.

PS4: This means that Zi Ma, who should have fallen out of the first tier, has returned to the first tier of Hestia/Junko/Modoro Okina... It's so complicated. Is there anyone who designed Gensokyo who can explain it to me, or am I reading a fake book? (Distant Eyes)

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 80: Invitation

"To be on the safe side, we must take both into consideration," Shang Yang stated. "In the next hundred years, I will continue to strive to push the power of Liang Yi to a higher level."

“But this is still not enough.”

"I still need to recruit several more great monsters to join us to ensure that the Hundred Demons Night Parade can suppress the high-end forces of the Moon City and prevent us from unknown situations."

"Although the choice has been made, it may still be a bit troublesome to convince them. It seems that I still have a lot of work to do before the end of the First Lunar War."

"Even after the Lunar War, you can't stop," Miss Shana reminded Shang Yang. "From the First Lunar War to the founding of Gensokyo, there were at least a thousand years. Although the Causal Ritual won't force you to travel to other worlds to deal with their historical causes and effects, Shang Yang, do you really want to stay in this world for a thousand years?"

"...It's indeed a problem," Shang Yang thought for a moment and decisively gave up the idea of ​​staying in this world forever. Although as an immortal, he no longer had any sense of the passage of time, a thousand years was still a long time. "Xana, do you have any suggestions?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago," Shana said, her face raised with pride when she heard Shang Yang's question. "I'm searching for a world where the flow of time meets Liu Yi Fin Yi Er Scar Si Ba Yue Yi's requirements. Once we find one, we'll go on a long journey to another world to collect the power of cause and effect. Because time flows at a different speed, when we return, hundreds of years will have passed in this world."

"That's really a 'long journey'." After hearing Shana say this, Shang Yang and Shana decided on the matter. "Let's decide it this way."

At this point, Shang Yang seemed to remember something, changed the subject, and casually asked Shana.

"But it's time for the two of us to go downstairs and have breakfast. You're not planning on staying in bed all day, are you?"

After hearing Shang Yang's words, Miss Shana remembered what had just happened. She immediately lowered her head awkwardly and made a troubled humming sound.

Seeing Shana's look, Shang Yang sighed, reached out and grabbed Shana's arm, ready to drag the shy, petite black-haired girl downstairs.

Snapped.

Unhappily, she gently slapped away the young man's hand that was holding her arm with her tender little hand, her cherry lips moved slightly, as if she was mumbling something.

Because her voice was too soft, Shang Yang didn't hear what she said at all, so the young man subconsciously moved closer to hear clearly what Miss Shana was mumbling.

Turning her pretty face to the side, the petite black-haired girl murmured awkwardly.

"I haven't changed my clothes yet..."

Hearing these words, Shang Yangshao was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Shana seemed to be still in pajamas and had not changed into daily home clothes. It seemed a bit rude to go downstairs in just pajamas, after all, the Gu Mingdi sisters were temporarily staying at home.

"But if you feel..."

Thinking of this, Shang Yang was a little distracted. When Miss Shana found that Shang Yang was distracted while listening to her, she immediately raised her white and tender feet and kicked the young man with gray and messy hair in anger.

"...Still distracted, I'll punish you by having you go to my room and get some clothes."

"... Let's go get some clothes from your room, okay?"

Shang Yang reluctantly agreed and left his room in two or three steps. He walked along the corridor to the door of Shana's room, pushed it open and walked in.

Shana's room was kept tidy and clean by herself. All her clothes were kept in the closet, neatly folded and placed together.

"Clothes...Oh, I found them."

Opening the closet, Shang Yang immediately saw Shana's white shirt, gray skirt and black over-the-knee socks.

Picking up the three pieces of clothing that Shana had prepared herself, Shang Yang turned and left Shana's room.

As he left Shana's room and walked to the door of his own room, the young man frowned in confusion.

“…Is there something missing?”

Seeing Shang Yang bringing her clothes, Shana, who was sitting on the bed, snorted softly.

“…Give it to me.”

"for you."

The young man handed Shana's clothes to her.

Seeing Shana catch the clothes, Shang Yang suddenly remembered what was missing, so he subconsciously showed concern.

"By the way, Shana, do you want to change the underwear you're wearing? I couldn't find any new ones in your room."

As soon as the young man asked the question, the petite black-haired girl was stunned.

"You, you rummaged through my underwear?"

Hearing the petite girl's panicked question, the young man instantly realized that his words had other ambiguous meanings. Before the young man could explain, a small cotton slipper was swung towards the young man's face.

"Shang, Shang Yang! You, you pervert!"

The petite black-haired girl, filled with shame and anger, picked up her small cotton shoes and threw them at the young man angrily.

He instantly slipped out of the room and closed the door. Hearing a snapping sound and Shana's angry cry, Shang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm also completely naive. Why would I bother asking a girl like her personal questions... When I'm alone with Shana, all sorts of misunderstandings and accidents always happen..."

The young man rubbed his gray hair and sighed in confusion.

However, the young man did not plan to go downstairs first. He decided to wait until Miss Shana changed her clothes before explaining.

But at this moment, Shang Yang suddenly saw a girl with short lavender hair walking up the stairs to the second floor.

Seeing Shang Yang standing outside his room, the girl with short lavender hair walked over and asked in confusion.

"Shang Yang, why haven't you and Shana come downstairs yet? Breakfast is ready. Ai asked me to come find you."

"Xana is changing clothes," Shang Yang explained and gestured inside the room.

Seeing Jue's understanding expression, Shang Yang also thought of what he had just discussed with Shana and spoke casually.

"By the way, Jue, I have something to ask of you."

Seeing that Shang Yang had something to ask her, Miss Jue readily agreed and asked casually.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

After hearing Miss Jue's words, she didn't ask any more questions and simply agreed. Shang Yang didn't bother to be polite with Jue and said immediately.

"Summon the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and join me in attacking the Moon Sea."

“…Huh?!”

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 81: Miss Jue's Thoughts

Faced with this sudden invitation, Jue stared blankly at Shang Yang, who looked indifferent, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

As a monster living underground, Jue was not completely unfamiliar with the rumors about the civilization on the moon's surface - the Moon City.

Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago in the ancient times, this land was still a desolate place with wild beasts roaming around and no civilization. It was almost impossible for weak humans to survive on this land. Many humans died every day from diseases, natural disasters, and were killed by wild beasts.

Later, one of the three most honorable gods among the eight million gods in this land, the ancient moon god, "Yo no shokuhara and the god of the moon, Tsukiyomi-son", led the kind-hearted and noble human beings she carefully selected to fly to the eternal pure land in the night sky - the moon.

Thus, the people who flew to the moon with the Moon God established the eternally peaceful and prosperous Moon Kingdom on the lunar sea, enjoying eternal peace and tranquility.

From then on, the moon people were able to live on the sea on the moon, free from birth, old age, sickness and death, and lived in the eternally peaceful Moon City. They called themselves the People of the Moon, regarded the earth as a filthy place, and never came to the earth easily.

These are the information Jue had heard about the kingdom of the Eternal Kingdom built on the sea on the moon - the Moon City.

If anyone in this world knew Shang Yang's entire existence best, it would be Jue. When Shang Yang first met Jue, Jue had already learned Shang Yang's past through telepathy. Of course, Shang Yang didn't want to hide anything from Jue, as there was no need to. So, Shang Yang freely recalled everything about himself, allowing Jue to read his memories.

Because of the difference in ability level, Jue cannot read Shang Yang's mind for the time being, but it is not impossible for Jue to guess what Shang Yang is thinking. Humans of this era do not have the concept of psychology, but Miss Jue, who has the ability to read minds, is probably the most powerful psychologist in the world. Even if she cannot read Shang Yang's mind for the time being, she can infer Shang Yang's thoughts through her knowledge.

Although it may not be completely accurate.

Before, when Jue could still read Shang Yang's mind, Shang Yang had no intention of inviting Jue to participate in the first lunar war with him. Of course, it was possible that he had such thoughts, but he quickly rejected them.

The reason was simple. Shang Yang, who was not yet a great demon at that time, estimated that he was not absolutely sure that he could protect Gu Mingdi Jue's safety in a melee of that level.

Not to mention getting hurt, even if he gets bumped into something, the author won't let him go.

Therefore, at the beginning, Shang Yang did not hide from Jue the idea of ​​having a good relationship with Miss Jue. He also only planned to ask Miss Jue to accompany the monster sage Yakumo Yukari throughout the visit, to ensure that if the monster sage, who was extremely wise and deep-minded, had other secret plans, he would not be completely unaware of them.

However, since he became a great monster that surpassed the realm of "the principles of this world", Shang Yang found that he had still underestimated the magnificent power of the great monster level. The gap between the great monsters and the monsters below the great monsters was simply a world of difference.

After mastering the power of yin and yang at the level of a great demon, Shang Yang would never have the idea that "I can't protect Jue in a melee". With the power of yin and yang at the level of a great demon, Shang Yang could rush to Jue's side at the first time no matter where he was.

What's more, he has a trump card that will definitely not let Jue get hurt.

With such a guarantee, Shang Yang naturally had the idea of ​​inviting Jue to go to the Moon Sea and participate in the first Moon War.

Inviting Miss Gu Mingdi Jue to participate in the first lunar war will be of great benefit to both Shang Yang and Miss Jue.

First: For Shang Yang, when the Lunar War reaches the point where the top fighters personally take action, with Jue there, Shang Yang and other powerful monsters won't have to worry about the strategies of Yue Yejian or Yagi Eirin. The Moon City's deployment will be completely transparent to the terrestrial monsters' Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Furthermore, after reaching the Lunar Sea, Jue's presence will be extremely beneficial when capturing Moon Rabbits or Moon People and gathering intelligence from within the Moon City.

Second, for Kaku, if he participated in the first One Hundred Demons Night Parade, he would undoubtedly gain enough prestige and fame within the monster community. At the very least, in the years ahead, the monsters would be less likely to reject the Komeiji sisters. Even if the monsters still resented Kaku's telepathic abilities, they would no longer reject Kaku and his sister Ren, who had established their reputation within the One Hundred Demons Night Parade. It had always been Kaku's wish to allow Renren to live freely, without being rejected by the monsters.

However, this is based on two things: Jue's own consent and the fact that within the next hundred years, Jue can also achieve the realm of a great demon.

After hearing Shang Yang's somewhat abrupt invitation, Jue was slightly stunned. After a long silence, Miss Jue admitted that this suggestion also made her excited. With Jue's knowledge, she could naturally think of these two advantages, especially the second one, which was to prevent the monsters from ostracizing the two sisters and create a good living environment for Lianlian. This point was very attractive to Miss Jue.

For Jue, it doesn't matter if he is hated or excluded.

But as long as Lianlian can be happy and live a happy life, Miss Jue can bet everything on it.

As for whether there is any danger, Jue, who left the earthly world alone with her sister who needed her care and lived in a desolate and chaotic place like hell, has long been accustomed to facing danger.

So, after thinking for a while, the girl with short lavender hair smiled faintly and answered softly.

"I will accept this invitation for now. If I can achieve the Great Demon Realm within this hundred years, I will participate in the One Hundred Demons Night Parade on the Moon Sea."

"Okay, no problem," Shang Yang nodded after hearing Jue's answer. "We'll discuss the details later. Now, the important thing is for you and Shana to go downstairs and enjoy a delicious breakfast together."

As he spoke, Shang Yang turned around and pushed open the door.

"Shana, hurry up, it's time to wake up."

"Got it, come right now."

Seeing Shang Yang pushing the door and urging her, Jue also stood at the door. After changing her clothes, Shana quickly picked up a pair of black over-the-knee socks, bent down and put her slender white feet into the socks, grabbed the edge of the socks with her small hands, and put on the black over-the-knee socks along her white calves like ivory carvings, then picked up another pair of black over-the-knee socks and put them on in the same way.

The petite black-haired girl's movements were extremely smooth, which gave the young man with gray hair who was seeing this scene a great visual enjoyment.

"...It's really pleasing to the eyes... cough."

After coughing, the young man with gray hair, who had watched this classic scene unprepared, shook off the impolite thought.

Watching Shana stand up and walk over in three or two steps, as if nothing had happened just now, she took Miss Jue out of the door and walked towards the stairs while talking and laughing. Shang Yang shrugged his shoulders, closed the door, and followed Jue and Shana to the living room downstairs.

Hot spring villa, living room.

After going downstairs, Shang Yang and Shana saw that Ai had already brought oatmeal porridge and other breakfast to the square table. Ai, Kaguya and Lianlian were sitting around the square table waiting for them.

Since breakfast is ready, there is no need to say much and everyone sits down to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast.

Needless to say, the process of enjoying breakfast was very easy. After breakfast, Jue took the initiative to take the plates and clean up with Ai. Usually, Shang Yang and Kaguya took turns washing the dishes with Ai, but today Jue took over, and the two were naturally happy to be lazy for once.

After a short rest, the young man with gray hair, who seemed to sense something, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey, Shang Yang?" The princess, who was about to pick up the controller to play the online game with the young man, saw the young man stand up, looked at him sideways, and asked curiously, "Aren't you coming with me?"

"Sorry, Princess, I have something to do today," Shang Yang explained as he leaned into the kitchen and said to Ai and Jue who were busy in the kitchen, "Ai, Jue, I'm going out to promote the attack on the Moon City and fight a few battles. You don't have to wait for me at noon."

"Oh, I see."

Turning around and looking at the young man, the girl with long dark hair nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
