My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Love whispered.

"See you at noon, sister, brother Shangyang, sister Shana."

After being told that it was just her sister Jue, Shang Yang and Shana who went out to do something and would be back soon, Gu Mingdi Lian said goodbye to the three of them in high spirits.

"Anyway, come back by noon."

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City waved her hand and gave a casual instruction.

Hearing Kaguya's roundabout encouragement and looking at her sister's trusting face, the girl with short lavender hair showed a gentle smile, then she bowed gently.

"We're going out."

Having made up her mind, the girl with short lavender hair firmly pushed open the door and left the hot spring villa with Shang Yang and Shana.

After the door was closed, the girl with long black hair turned her pretty face to the side, and her dark red pupils stared at the girl with light green hair who looked normal, Komaki Diren.

"…Is it okay, Lianlian?"

Love asked softly.

"It's okay, Ai-sister."

The petite girl with light green hair, Komeichi Ren, had a considerate smile on her pretty face, showing no dissatisfaction with her sister's concealment.

"If my sister thinks I don't need to know, then Lianlian doesn't know."

"Although I am very worried, Lianlian wants her sister to be able to move forward with peace of mind."

The petite girl with light green hair turned her face to the side, revealing a considerate smile, tears glistening in her light green pupils.

"Besides, we still have Brother Shang Yang and Sister Shana, right? Brother Shang Yang and Sister Shana will protect me."

"I hope that this time, Sister can open her heart to everyone in the hot spring resort."

"My sister should have her own wish. She shouldn't just live with the desire to take care of me."

"...I've heard about Lianlian's situation from Shang Yangjun."

Hearing Lianlian's words, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City frowned slightly.

"The power of the unconscious is the power of emptiness. Awareness... is the anchor that Lianlian has engraved on my heart, right?"

"Lianlian can only maintain her unconscious self by relying on the 'anchor' of the awareness that is no different from the one in her memory before she closed her eyes of awareness."

"If there's a 'deviation' between Ruojue and the person Lianlian once remembered, Lianlian's 'anchor' will also deviate. In the end, if Ruojue really no longer lives completely around Lianlian, the 'anchor' will completely deviate, and Lianlian's self-awareness will completely disappear, reaching a state of 'emptiness'."

"At that time, Komeichi Ren's personality will completely disappear."

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City calmly looked into those light green eyes that were glistening with tears.

"Even so, it doesn't matter?"

"Well, it's okay."

The girl, her light green eyes glistening with tears, nodded gently.

A petite girl with light green hair, a lovely sister who cares about her sister wholeheartedly, with a gentle voice and extremely happy.

"Rather, that's exactly what Lianlian wants."

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 89: The Ascent Begins

Looking at the girl with light green eyes glistening with tears and light green hair, Ai frowned and narrowed her dark red pupils, which looked like solidified blood.

……thump.

Lianlian's light green eyes and Ai's dark red eyes met accidentally. Facing the dark red pupils of the girl with long black hair, the petite girl with light green hair couldn't help but be stunned. In an instant, the light green eyes that were still sparkling with tears lost their luster.

The petite girl with light green hair and shoulder-length hair suddenly went limp and slowly fell to the cypress wood floor of the entrance.

Before Lianlian collapsed on the floor, Ai supported the unconscious Lianlian.

Kaguya also came closer and helped Ai to lift up the sleeping Renren, and asked the girl with long black hair in confusion.

"Ai, didn't you hit her too hard? Lianlian even fainted. Xiao Xiaojue won't be happy when she comes back, and she won't like you bullying her sister."

"Just let Lianlian have a good dream."

Ai answered softly as she worked with Kaguya to gently help Lianlian, who had already fallen into a sweet dream, to the living room.

First, let Kaguya support Lianlian, Ai brought bedding and spread it in the living room, and then she and Kaguya helped Lianlian, who was immersed in a sweet dream, lie down.

After covering Lianlian with the quilt, Ai cut off a strand of her long black hair and carefully tied it around the wrist of the sleeping Lianlian.

Kaguya couldn't help but feel confused when she saw Ai's strange movements. However, when Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City noticed that an unknown force covered Lianlian with Ai's movements, she immediately became curious and observed the mysterious and inexplicable force that covered the petite body of the girl with light green hair.

It turned out to be the innate ability of love... The effect is to protect Lianlian's heart... No, it seems that it is not just that.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City observed with curiosity and was also amazed.

It is truly a mysterious power. Even with my power of eternity and a moment, I cannot see it clearly.

In 816 AD, the 11th year of Yuanhe reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty and the 7th year of Kōnin reign of Emperor Saga of Japan.

One day in late November.

In the western country of Japan, deep in the mountains where there are few people.

It is late autumn now. In the deep mountains, most of the branches and leaves have been dyed golden by the late autumn, and there are some fiery red maple leaves hidden among them, which are particularly dazzling.

Slowly falling from the sky to the ground, the small shoes wrapped around her delicate feet gently stepped on the ground and the thin fallen leaves. She closed her eyes and felt the breeze blowing gently through the mountains and forests.

At this time, Shang Yang and Shana also slowly fell to the ground. When Jue noticed that Shang Yang and Shana had also fallen to the ground, he gently turned around and opened his eyes. His light purple pupils were calm and firm.

The girl with short lavender hair spoke in a firm tone, slightly opening her cherry lips.

"Let's get started now, Shang Yang-jun, Shana, I'm counting on you."

Hearing Jue say this, Shang Yang turned his head slightly and gave Shana an imperceptible wink. Noticing the wink, Shana also nodded imperceptibly.

Then, in Jue's slightly surprised eyes, a blazing red lotus fire ignited around Shana's body. When the red lotus flame rose, Shana's pure black hair and eyes also turned red with the red lotus's fiery red.

Then, Shana's entire figure disappeared in the red lotus flames. When Shana's figure completely disappeared, the blazing red lotus flames began to spread towards Shang Yang beside her, and all attached to the body of the young man with gray and white hair.

Faced with the raging fire burning on his body, the young man remained calm and just slowly raised his right hand.

As Shang Yang raised his right hand, the red lotus flame attached to Shang Yang's body quickly moved along Shang Yang's arm and gathered in the palm of Shang Yang's right hand, condensing into a fiery red lotus that was only the size of a palm and burning with red lotus fire.

Seeing the fiery red lotus, Shang Yang did not hesitate. He raised his right hand and brought it close to his mouth, opened his mouth, swallowed the fiery red lotus, and swallowed it into his throat.

Almost at the same time, Shang Yang realized that Shana's familiar consciousness had returned to the depths of his soul and entered the mystery of cause and effect hidden deep in his soul. The fiery red pendant that was originally hanging in front of Shang Yang's chest had become quite dim after Shana left Shang Yang and appeared in the world. After Shana returned to Shang Yang's soul, it began to emit a fiery red light again.

[Shang Yang, I'm ready.]

Shana's familiar voice reappeared in Shang Yang's mind, and made Shang Yang recall the time when Shana spent time with him as the daughter of the Lord God a long time ago.

The sense of mutual trust at that time is hidden in the hearts of young people and has not faded at all.

Shang Yang rubbed his gray hair and put this familiar thought aside for the time being. As an immortal being with eternal soul, Shang Yang's soul will never fade.

Afterwards, Shang Yang seriously asked Gu Mingdijue in front of him.

"Jue, are you ready?"

Hearing Shang Yang ask this, Jue came back to his senses. Feeling the restlessness of his spiritual power and the resistance of the laws that he had already vaguely sensed, Jue nodded firmly.

"Well, that's all right. According to the experience you told me, Shang Yang, the time for the leap is ripe."

"Well then," Shang Yang agreed after hearing Jue's affirmative answer. He walked over to Jue in two or three steps, raised his right hand and naturally grasped Jue's slender white hand. "Then, let's officially begin Jue's level leap."

Miss Jue was caught off guard and was suddenly held by a man named Shang Yang. She felt a little embarrassed, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she turned her face slightly to the side.

Seeing that Jue felt a little embarrassed, Shang Yang spoke seriously to ease Jue's tension.

"Don't worry, Miss Jue, I will protect you."

Hearing Shang Yang's words which were obviously meant to tease her, Jue snorted in dissatisfaction and simply closed her eyes. According to the leap process that Shang Yang had originally told her, Jue slowly released the control over her already restless mental power and let it move on its own.

At the same time, deep in Shang Yang's consciousness, Shana, who also heard Shang Yang's words, also snorted in dissatisfaction. However, after returning to the depths of Shang Yang's consciousness, Shana, who had regained the ability to detect Shang Yang's inner thoughts, realized that Shang Yang just wanted to dispel Jue's last bit of nervousness, so she did not complain about him. She also began to prepare, ready to put her spiritual power into Jue's soul through the spiritual bridge between Shang Yang and Jue at any time.

Having lost Jue's control, Jue's mental power began to gradually overflow and spread outside Jue's body. Then, Jue used his spiritual power to guide his mental power and explored the place where he sensed his innate ability leaped - the depths of the world.

The deep layer of the world, which is usually referred to as the root of this world, is not a specific area, but a "realm" that only exists in the world. Generally speaking, it is a level. When you reach this level, you can see the world laws that maintain the essential existence of all things in this world - "the principles of this world."

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 90: The Deep World

Originally, monsters like Jue, whose main cultivation ability is to cultivate, only need to accumulate their spiritual power to the pinnacle of the monster level. This level of spiritual power is enough to guide their own abilities to the "principles of this world" that operate in the depths of the world and maintain the essential existence of all things. They can also control their abilities to attack the laws of all things in this world, break the constraints of the laws of all things, and firmly fix the status of their own abilities on the world's laws, "principles of this world". After that, they can use their spiritual power to carefully recycle the abilities that are already higher than the laws of all things, "principles of this world", into their own souls. By transcending the realm of "principles of this world", they can promote their body and magic power to also leap to a higher level, and finally stabilize the level obtained through the leap. This is the whole process of leaping to the level of a great monster.

But Jue's current situation is that his spiritual power has been greatly depleted over the past few decades in order to help Shang Yang successfully leap to the great monster realm. This has resulted in Jue's ability strength reaching a level where he can leap and can no longer be suppressed, but Jue's accumulated spiritual power is far from reaching the level of guiding his own spiritual power to explore the depths of the world, let alone the subsequent manipulation of spiritual power to break the laws of all things and reach a position above the "principles of this world" before being recovered.

After a while, the girl with short lavender hair closed her eyes and guided her spiritual power to explore the depths of the world. Sweat began to seep out of her forehead and her face turned pale.

Seeing Jue's tired look, Shang Yang no longer waited, and directly poured his consciousness into Jue's soul through the spiritual bridge between them. Under Shang Yang's intentional guidance, Shang Yang's own vast spiritual power followed Jue's path into the depths of the world and caught up with him.

At this moment, at the edge of the deep world, Jue felt very uncomfortable. His soul power, which was originally seriously insufficient, was subjected to rejection and pressure far beyond Jue's endurance just at the edge of this level of the deep world.

I feel that the feelings transmitted from the depths of the world are eternal and unshakable. My weak spirit is like a flame in the wind when facing this world truth that has maintained the operation of the universe since ancient times. It may be crushed by this great world truth at any time.

"Although I know it won't be as easy as Shang Yang said, this level of suppression is simply too unfair..."

While struggling to maintain his consciousness, Jue couldn't help but complain about the "rules of this world" that were against him.

At this moment, a vast spirit, pursuing the route that Jue had taken to the depths of the world, arrived in an instant, directly enveloping Jue's weak consciousness. Then, almost ignoring the eternal suppression conveyed by the laws of all things in the depths of the world, it carried Jue's consciousness and her spiritual power and quickly explored the depths of the world.

"How do you feel, Jue, the eternal oppression from the root of the world, 'the principles of this world'?"

In the vast supreme spirit that gently enveloped Jue's consciousness, Shang Yang, whose consciousness was also almost eternal, asked Jue half-jokingly.

“…It’s terrible.”

Jue complained dissatisfiedly. At the same time, feeling Shang Yang's vast and almost eternal spirit that was fully displayed before her consciousness without reservation, Jue couldn't help feeling a little lost.

"The gap between me and Shang Yang is so huge..."

Feeling a little loss in Jue's consciousness, Shang Yang comforted him considerately.

"Don't be disappointed, Miss Jue. My mental strength is the adaptive growth that occurred after I leaped into the Great Monster realm in order to cooperate with the power of the two yin and yang that can manipulate and distort the laws of all things. As long as you leap into the Great Monster realm, it won't be long before you also have such mental strength. Moreover, your abilities tend to be more spiritual. Maybe, in the near future, your spirit will be stronger than mine.

"..."

Jue remained silent and did not answer, but Shang Yang felt that the sense of loss in Jue had disappeared, so he felt relieved and concentrated on carrying Jue's consciousness and her spiritual power, approaching the laws of all things that have maintained the operation of the universe since ancient times - "the principles of this world."

After approaching this great cosmic truth, Shang Yang began to use her yin and yang power to suppress the millions of laws governing all things in the deep world. This was naturally very easy for Shang Yang, who already possessed yin and yang power that was higher than the "principles of this world." Then, as long as Jue used her mental power to slightly grasp the feeling of manipulating the laws governing all things that had been suppressed by Shang Yang, her mental power would naturally begin to transform. After Shang Yang helped her recover the ability that had begun to leap forward, the level leap was successfully completed.

"Wait, Shang Yang, can you let me grasp the feeling of manipulating the "principles of this world" myself?"

Just as Shang Yang was proceeding according to his plan, Jue suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Shang Yang couldn't help but be stunned, and the power of Liang Yi subconsciously released its suppression of the deep laws of all things in the world. The laws of all things, which had been somewhat sluggish, began to operate again in a state between existence and non-existence.

"...Jue, you should know that your current spiritual strength is not enough to manipulate the power of your mind and break through the truth of the world, the laws of all things - "the principles of this world."

After a brief silence, Shang Yang stated this fact sincerely.

"..."

Hearing Shang Yang's sincere persuasion, Jue did not answer anything, but Shang Yang clearly felt that Jue's consciousness was unshakable.

This may be the willfulness of the girl named Komeiji Kaku, but it is also the self-esteem of the girl named Komeiji Kaku.

""In that case, I have no objection."

Feeling Jue's thoughts, Shang Yang thought a little helplessly, but he didn't care too much.

It's just that Jue wants to rely on himself to control the feeling of the laws of everything. This is not a difficult thing, and I can also protect Jue's consciousness from being harmed.

Thinking of this, Shang Yang began to relax the protection of his consciousness, and gradually exposed his consciousness to the depths of the world, in front of countless eternal world laws that existed between existence and non-existence.

Once he was free from the protection of Shang Yang's vast spirit, he clearly felt a suppression that was eternal and unshakable, far more severe than the one he had felt at the deep edge of the world.

No, the two are not on the same level at all. If at the edge, this feeling is only close to eternity, then the laws of all things that have existed since time immemorial here give the feeling of true "eternity".

This eternal suppression makes it impossible for Jue to use his own mental power to challenge the laws of the universe.

"No, we absolutely cannot stop here..."

But Jue would never allow herself to give up. The girl forced herself to gather all her energy, tremblingly controlling her mental power, approaching the law of all things between existence and non-existence - the "principle of this world."

At this moment, Shang Yang's vast spirit quickly approached Jue's weak consciousness that manipulated the power of his mind, dragging Jue's consciousness and mental power towards the supreme "truth of this world".

"Shangyang?!"

I feel a little confused and a little angry.
