"I want to ask you, what's wrong with treating humans as slaves?"

"Humans are our people, and I only want them to serve me. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with that!?"

"You monster, stop meddling in other people's business!"

"A monster?" Morikawa Yu slashed down again, knocking His head to the side, where it slammed into the courtyard wall and sank deep inside. "I'm not a monster. I'm a human just like them. Why can't I interfere in their affairs?"

"Shut up, you."

Morikawa Yu stopped looking at the Great God and looked at the humans in the courtyard.

He knew that his powers had malfunctioned, and together with Tenshi Inaba, he entered a vision of the past. This was a point in time in the Age of Gods, and now he was in the historical remnants of the Age of Gods.

So although he really wanted to argue with the Great God, he thought that they were in the Age of Gods, so he lost the will to argue and simply shut the guy up.

Time must progress gradually before humanity can open its eyes.

But that doesn't mean he can accept the ideas of this time.

He can't change the past, but he won't ignore what's in front of him.

However, not all gods in this era treated humans as slaves; there was also the Great God.

Just from His advice to himself and Tenshi Inaba to leave, it is clear that Ōru-gami is different from Ōhun-gami; He is a deity who sympathizes with humanity.

Morikawa Yu looked at the Great God standing next to him and pointed to the Great God whose head was stuck in the wall.

"Da Ru, why do you say He's afraid of the great demon among demons?"

In his mind, great demons were just demons stronger than ordinary demons. Not only were their status and strength lower than those of high-ranking great demons, but they were also far inferior to ghosts and gods. How could they be afraid of them?

Or does the "great yokai" of the Age of Gods at this time refer to powerful yokai like Hizuki, Mitsuko, and Chiko?

Are all other monsters just monsters?

If that's the case, then they certainly have reason to be afraid.

As far as he knew, it was now the middle of the Age of Gods. At this time, the great yokai of the Age of Gods should have already been born from heaven and earth. At the end of the Age of Gods, the gods weakened, and the great yokai of the Age of Gods began to hunt down the gods and send the Age of Gods to its demise.

For humans, their status only rose after the emergence of a human god at the end of the Age of Gods.

Even in the later Heian period, the Inari god controlled the imperial court, and the emperor worshipped him, considering himself a subject.

The Great God looked at the Great God and said in a deep voice, "Great demons are extraordinaryly powerful demons, whose strength and status far surpass ours. They usually don't concern themselves with the affairs of demons, but if we do something to demons, they will come looking for us."

“Several of our brothers were killed like this, so it’s normal for Da Hun to be afraid.”

Morikawa Yu nodded, looking at the humans in the courtyard.

The yokai of the Age of Gods were protected by the Great Yokai of the Age of Gods, so they were feared by the gods. But the humans of this era have no one to protect them and can only rely on the gods. No wonder the Great God of Chaos is so arrogant.

Morikawa Yu frowned deeply.

He looked at the Great God: "Great God, what do you think of humanity?"

Da Ru Shen paused for a moment: "I think it's great. Humans are very similar to us. Although they are a bit weak, they are very intelligent, creative, and curious."

Morikawa Yu: "Have you ever enslaved humans?"

Da Rushen shook his head: "No, although my brothers all do it, I don't think it's necessary."

"Humans are very creative, but it is difficult for them to create anything after they are enslaved. Instead of enslaving humans to do hard labor, we should open up our territory and let them do their own thing."

Morikawa Yu nodded, grabbed the chains, pulled on the Great God, and dragged the Great God's head out of the wall: "Then, He is your brother god."

"I'm going to kill Him, what do you think?"

Da Ru Shen was stunned, staring at Sen Chuan Yu, his cloud-like face filled with astonishment and... a trace of bewilderment.

"Kill Him?"

"Haven't you already taught Him a lesson?"

"Why did you kill Him? Are you some kind of great human who wants to help humans, like a great demon avenging a demon?"

Giant humans...?

Morikawa Yu's eyebrows twitched.

He felt that the word Da Ru Shen used was strangely absurd.

"No, and there is no such thing as a 'great human.' The term is also a bit awkward, so please don't call me that."

“I understand.” Great God nodded: “You are a human who came here from a distant place to protect humanity, just like those great demons.”

“If that’s the case, you can kill Him, and I won’t say anything.”

"Even great monsters will kill us for the sake of monsters."

The Great God of Chaos struggled angrily, glaring at the Great God of Ru: "Traitor, you traitor! Great God of Ru, you are not worthy to be one of us!"

Morikawa Yu glanced at him coldly, too lazy to listen to his roars any longer, drew Tsurumaru, and slashed down, cutting across his neck.

A sudden burst of wind at the level of a sword saint shattered the Great Chaos God's body bit by bit. Amidst the Great Chaos God's roar, His body continuously turned into swirling dust until it completely dissipated.

Da Ru Shen stared blankly at the spot where Da Hun Shen had vanished, then stared blankly at Sen Chuan Yu.

Although He said that, He actually couldn't bear to watch Morikawa Yu kill the Great God. Although the Great God was wicked and had the evil habit of enslaving humans, He was at least His brother god.

However, since Morikawa Yu had already killed the Great God of Chaos, there was no way to change or undo the damage.

He sighed inwardly, his feelings complicated.

Morikawa Yu glanced at the Great God, shook his head, sheathed his sword, and stored the divine power chains in the Imperial Vermilion Seal. He then waved his hand to disperse the divine power dust with the force of the wind.

Actually, he didn't care too much about what the Great God thought.

He is now in the shadow of history. The Great God Ru and the Great God Hun are just remnants of the past. Their true forms have long since perished in the past.

He just wanted to see what kind of deity Da Ru Shen really was.

Historically, He established the Great God of Ashihara no Nakatsukuni and governed it well. Even Amaterasu Omikami was tempted to take Ashihara no Nakatsukuni for herself and sent many gods to force Him to relinquish the country.

In retrospect, besides his talent for governing the country, he was also an indecisive and kind-hearted person who wanted to help everyone and had no stance.

Of course, in history, He was also an honest man who was killed twice by his brothers before deciding to flee to the country of other gods. With the help of Susanoo, He defeated his brothers and established Ashihara no Nakatsukuni.

It would be strange if He were to decide now to help humanity, or to become an enemy of the Great God.

Morikawa Yu turned and walked into the courtyard, looking at the rescued humans.

They had been watching Morikawa Yu the whole time, witnessing the execution of the Great God of Chaos. They were all stunned and couldn't understand how Morikawa Yu, who looked just like them and was a human, could kill a god.

Some people cowered in low-ceilinged houses, clutching chains, looking terrified.

Judging from their appearance, if they could fix the chains, they would definitely do so, and then kneel down to show their submission.

Morikawa Yu's heart tightened.

He had Tsurumaru cut the chains on these people, and he also told Tsurumaru to count how many there were and release them. However, these people were too afraid to leave.

Tenshi Inaba followed behind him and tugged at Morikawa Yu's sleeve.

"Morikawa, what are your plans for settling these people?"

"If this place is truly a remnant of the Age of Gods, then even if you release them, it won't make any difference."

Chapter 531 About XP

“I heard my mother tell stories about the Age of Gods when I was a child.”

"Humans in the Age of Gods had not yet established nations and were basically dependent on gods. Most humans would seek the protection of gods. Some gods were more benevolent and established their own territories, allowing humans to live in them and protecting these territories. These gods were called righteous gods."

"Some gods are cruel and simply treat humans as slaves, ordering them around at will, and when they die, they go and capture more humans."

"These gods are considered evil gods. Sometimes when they are short of slaves, they will steal slaves from other evil gods. This is because when they try to capture humans who believe in righteous gods, these righteous gods will stop them. Even if they capture humans behind the backs of these righteous gods, they will still train them to be slaves."

“The slaves of other evil gods have been dominated for too long; once they are seized, they can become your slaves.”

“These people may very well mistake you for an evil god from another country who killed the Great God and wanted to seize slaves and perform forced labor.”

Morikawa Yu's expression darkened slightly, and he nodded.

He thought for a moment, then stared at the rabbit girl: "What about you monsters?"

He was somewhat curious about the status of monsters in the age of gods.

Inaba Tenshi thought for a moment and said, "We yokai are a little better off. Although we yokai vary in strength, weak yokai are about the same as humans, but strong yokai are even stronger than gods. Of course, most yokai are relatively weak. If they become a little stronger, they will become demons and gods, with the same status as gods."

"If it's even stronger, then it's a great yokai that surpasses even yokai and demons. Princess Mitsuko and these great yokai of the Age of Gods were born from heaven and earth, and were born knowing all sorts of things. Their status is even higher than that of gods."

"As far as we know, no yokai has ever crossed the realm of demons and gods to become a great yokai like them from the Age of Gods, so even if they consider themselves yokai, we don't think so."

"However, if they want to think that way, we won't object."

"With them around, evil gods won't risk being targeted by ghosts and gods and them to capture monsters as slaves."

"So we monsters are relatively free, but some monsters will choose to be with the gods and become followers of the gods, spirits, or great monsters."

"For example, Asaka, Asaka is a follower of His Highness Mitsuko."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

He turned his head and looked at the humans, some huddled together and others kneeling on the ground, his face somber.

He felt as if a voice in his heart was advising him that these people were just remnants of history, shadows of the past, and that the real people had long since died in history, so it didn't matter.

But at the same time, there seems to be another voice saying that even so, they are people who need help right now. We can't just ignore them. At least we should find them a place to belong so that they can live on in this fragmented history.

He thought for a moment and looked at the Great God of Ru, who was half-floating in the air beside him.

The Great God was also watching him.

Great God immediately understood Morikawa Yu's meaning: "Morikawa, if you are troubled about how to help these people, just send them to my territory."

“In the past, there were also passersby who were captured by Da Hun and enslaved, and then escaped and fled to my territory.”

“I also have many people in my territory, so they can find things to do.”

Morikawa Yu frowned: "We're not going to keep making them slaves, are we?"

Da Ru Shen shook his head: "No, I don't have slaves there, only villages. They can form their own villages. Of course, I don't know what will happen to them afterward."

"People like them who have been slaves will find it hard to see themselves as normal people even after they gain their freedom. I hope they can live a good life."

The Great God sighed.

“But then we’ll have to hurry. After we get them to my territory, I have things to do.”

Morikawa Yu: "What's up? What is it?"

"I was asking for your hand in marriage," said the Great God. "I was originally planning to go to the Kingdom of Inaba to ask for your hand in marriage, and then I wanted to ask my other brothers when they were planning to go. But I saw you shortly after I came out, and I wanted to persuade you to leave quickly, so I came here with you."

Morikawa Yu and Inaba Tenshi exchanged a glance.

He asked tentatively, "You mean Princess Yagami of Inaba Kingdom?"

Da Ru Shen nodded: "Yes, it is her, Princess Yagami Yuan. She is the princess of Inaba Kingdom, and she is incredibly beautiful. I want to ask her for her hand in marriage and marry her as my wife."

Morikawa Yu: "How beautiful?"

Da Ru Shen thought for a moment, then clenched her fist: "Absolutely stunning."

“My brothers have all gone to prepare for marriage proposals. Da Hun used to capture people from Inaba Kingdom as slaves, and he was afraid of being blamed by the Inaba Kingdom lord after he went there, so he did not go.”

“If it weren’t for this incident, he would definitely have gone to propose marriage.”

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Hearing what Da Ru Shen said, he suddenly became curious about what Yagami Yuan looked like.

Suddenly, a question occurred to him, and his expression turned serious.

"Da Ru, you said Princess Yashang Yuan is the most beautiful woman in the world, and... doesn't she look a lot like you?"

Da Ru Shen quickly shook his head.

"No, I'm so ordinary, how could I possibly resemble her? She's so beautiful, I can't compare to her at all."

Hearing Him say this, Morikawa Yu did not nod, and his expression became somewhat strange.

He walked to the wall next to him, drew the Tsurumaru, stirred up the wind, and slashed the wall surface, then drew a human figure.

Taking into account the difference in size between gods and humans, Morikawa Yu finally drew a human figure that was about two meters tall, and then drew a face and a halo behind him.

Great Goddess: "No, no, no, she's not as short as you drew her. She's taller, maybe five feet taller. Her divine halo is more slender, and her body is more proportionate than mine..."
