The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"Uh... wait, could I have mistaken someone for someone else?"

When Shi Bai saw Shen Qi again, looking at the sacred and solemn figure in front of him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

If we were to compare the changes before and after... it would be roughly the difference between ZUN's artwork and fan art.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "an air of authority that a young lady could never possess," a stark contrast indeed.

"Phew... You've finally come out of the Heavenly Realm."

After confirming that no deity was watching them, and after the initial display of majesty, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and slumped onto the table, revealing her true form in an instant.

"Do you think I want to do this? It's all to gather enough faith so that once I've finished that matter, I won't have to keep pretending anymore."

"To conquer all the countries and then establish a unified nation?"

He sat down at the table as well, looked up at the magnificent hall, and Shi Bai's face was full of emotion.

"No wonder they're a big dog owner."

Shenqi: "???"

"It was my gods who said they wanted to ensure sufficient majesty and respect... Did you really think I was capable of building such a magnificent palace?"

Shenqi rolled her eyes helplessly.

"Once I've finished what I need to do, I'm going to run away from home. Let whoever wants to be Amaterasu Omikami be it..."

"Did you build Takamagahara?"

After silently mourning for the loyal gods under Shen Qi's command for a moment, Shi Bai asked Shen Qi in front of him with a hint of curiosity.

"So, in terms of..."

"Ahem, anyway, it's just what you think."

She coughed a few times to interrupt him, and after glancing at Kanako who had just followed someone in, she glared at him with great displeasure.

"By the way, why did you bring a human here?"

"Oh, I owe her a favor, so I'd like to trouble you to make her a god."

Shi Bai nodded readily.

"After all, if you want to unify the whole country, you should have enough gods under your command. She should be very suitable. Let her become a direct descendant of Amaterasu under your command."

"........."

Faced with Shen Qi's silent gaze, which seemed to ask if he was being teased, Shi Bai gave her a very serious look in return: "I really wasn't teasing you."

“She has been to the underworld and has come into contact with Heka, the goddess of hell… so she should become a significant asset to you.”

Shi Bai coughed a few times.

"...Have you ever been to the underworld?"

After a slight pause, Shinki turned her head and saw Kanako standing there, completely stunned.

"Not only did he return safely from the underworld, but he also had contact with that guy whose clothing was absolutely terrible?"

"Yes, it is……"

Kanako glanced at the person next to her subconsciously and nodded, seemingly confused.

"Very good, then you can stay in Takamagahara for now. I will find a way to make you a god later."

Shinki gave a very decisive answer.

"What's your name?"

"...God...Kanako..."

"Kanako...does she have a surname?"

For some reason, Shen Qi frowned slightly.

"...No, no..."

"Very well, from now on your name will be... um, Yasaka Kanako, and you will exist as a direct god under my command. Are you willing?"

"Willing...wait, can I really become a god!?"

Kanako finally couldn't help but ask.

"God, if it's a deity, then it should be..."

"of course can."

She glanced at someone, her expression noncommittal.

"After all, this is the first time he has asked me for a favor. The difficulty of making a human into a god is not actually that high. But remember, from now on your name is Yasaka Kanako. Yasaka is the surname I gave you."

"……I see."

After a brief silence, Kanako Yasaka nodded seriously.

"Okay, then let's go rest for a bit. I have some personal matters to discuss with him."

Shen Qi remained calm.

Ever since discovering Kanako, this uninvited guest, she has reverted to being the Amaterasu Ōmikami she once was... So, pretending really is a very tiring job.

"........."

With a complicated expression, Yasaka Kanako glanced at the person beside her, nodded, and then stood up from the table.

P.S.: I overestimated myself. I had a headache yesterday and went to bed early... I'll be posting two updates today and tomorrow...

Chapter Eight: Starting Today, I'll Become Death

Gao Tianyuan.

In layman's terms, this place can be roughly understood as a paradise that has been created by human hands.

It is roughly similar in form to the heavenly kingdom created by the Western God Jehovah, but it cannot compare to the complete world of heaven.

"Okay, now that she's gone, you can tell me the truth. Why did you send a human here?"

After Yasaka Kanako left, Shinki returned to her previous languid state and asked the man in front of her with some confusion.

"Instead of wasting so much faith to turn humans into gods, I might as well just choose my subordinates from among 800 million gods. If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to do this."

"That's why I said I owe her a favor."

He took out a wine cup and wine from his storage ring quite naturally, his face showing a blank expression.

"I accidentally destroyed her entire village, including her friends and family. You know, humans are very fragile."

"This kind of thing..."

Shinki glanced slightly in the direction Yasaka Kanako had left, and frowned slightly.

"What's the reason? I don't think someone with your personality would do something like that."

"My personality... what do you think my personality is?"

Shi Bai reached out and poured himself a glass of wine, then laughed.

"I've never been a good person, and there's no need to talk about that anymore. Where's the succubus? Shouldn't she be with you?"

"Ah... her? She went out on business. After all, if you want to unify the whole country, violence alone won't work."

Without any hesitation, Shen Qi snatched the wine glass from Shi Bai's hand and drank it all in one gulp, then answered decisively.

"What I want is not so-called conquest, but faith. Conquest is simple; I can accomplish it alone in a few days. But faith is something that cannot be rushed; it can only be planned slowly. Otherwise, why do you think I founded Takamagahara?"

"So, how's your plan for the Divine Realm coming along?"

Shi Bai didn't mind that his wine glass was taken away; he simply took out a new one.

"As for Takamagahara, it probably doesn't even meet your minimum requirements, right?"

"No, the name 'God Realm' sounds too shameful, so I followed the succubus's advice and changed it to 'Demon Realm'."

Shen Qi had a serious expression on her face.

"Come and help me too. With your help, I should be able to unify the country more quickly and establish a large faith community."

"I'm sorry, if it were before, I might have chosen to stay and help, but now I have other things to do."

He poured himself another glass of wine, looking quite innocent.

"...By the way, when you went to the Underworld with the succubus, why didn't you mention my name? There was absolutely no need for you to fight Heca, after all, that was her home turf."

As he said this, Shi Bai seemed to suddenly remember something.

"I mentioned your name when I went to the Celestial Realm with the succubus last time."

She forcefully snatched the glass of wine that someone had poured from her back and answered with half-closed eyes.

"so what?"

"Then the succubus and I were hunted down for almost a month."

"Uh……"

"If I mention your name again in the underworld this time, I seriously suspect that from now on, the succubus and I will be hunted down to death by the entire underworld."

"Hexka and I have a very good relationship..."

For some reason, Shi Bai felt that his words were somewhat powerless.

“You said the same thing when I went to the Celestial Realm with the succubus.”

"........."

"By the way, the succubus fully supports my proposal."

"...Shenqi."

"what happened?"

"Please pass on a message to my unworthy disciple."

Shi Bai stood up from the table, his face filled with melancholy.

“Every New Year, I bring her younger sister to visit her, hoping that she will be ready to welcome her sister.”

"You're already leaving? Don't you want to stay a little longer? Where are you going now?"

Looking up at the man in front of her, Shen Qi blinked.

"Also, if we want to find you, where should we look for you?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, when you start creating the world, I'll definitely be there to freeload."

Shi Bai rolled his eyes.

"Remember to save me a few seats when the time comes."

"Creation isn't that simple... The Dragon God will definitely come out to stop me, and I haven't even figured out how to deal with the Dragon God yet..."

As if remembering something, she slumped onto the table in a deflated manner, her words filled with obvious resentment.

"I can't even beat that guy in the underworld, let alone the Dragon God she mentioned who represents the will of the world."

"Hmm... how about this, I'll give you a suggestion on how to deal with the Dragon God."

After thinking for a moment, the person snapped their fingers mysteriously.

"As long as you do as I say, the Dragon God will absolutely not care about such a trivial matter as you creating the world."

"How do I do it!?"

Shinki quickly raised her head from the table.

"Hmm...prepare more orange juice..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the person had already drifted away.

Shenqi: "???"

Although he had decided to temporarily go to the underworld to experience life as a Grim Reaper, before leaving Takamagahara and heading to the underworld, Tokihaku spent several days finding the legendary Frog Child.

Strictly speaking, during this period, this land was dotted with countries of all sizes, each ruled by a particular god and enjoying its own unique faith.
