His sister reached out to him, pulled him into her arms, and let him rest his head on her chest, gently patting his back.

Of course, she had known all along that Morikawa Yu was not her biological brother.

When her family was in trouble, she encountered an earthquake while traveling. When her parents were injured, she felt that her younger brother, who had emerged from the rubble without any injuries, was acting strangely.

Later, she became a ghost.

Feiyue helped her condense her blood energy and found her body that had drowned in the tsunami, destroying the evidence and concealing her ghost identity.

She was so worried about whether her ghost identity would be exposed that she didn't notice Morikawa Yu's unusual behavior at the time, and she didn't pay much attention to the strange things when she was writing in her diary.

Later, as she watched Morikawa Yu become more and more outstanding, she felt something was wrong, and finally realized a problem—her younger brother might not be the same younger brother she originally knew.

This left her feeling incredibly lost and disheartened.

When Morikawa Yu first became outstanding, she was very happy because she didn't really like her younger brother. She felt that her brother was disappointing, cowardly, and had low self-esteem, unlike other children who were easy to take care of.

But he was, after all, her brother.

Chapter 692 Father, you're finished. I've brought Mother back.

Although she didn't like him very much, she cared about him, gave him pocket money and hoped that he could become outstanding and stand on his own in the future.

But she never expected that he would turn into a completely different person.

And she herself became a ghost.

She struggled for a long time, wanting to ask Feiyue to help her find out about Morikawa Yu's situation, but also feeling that Morikawa Yu had treated her, his "older sister," quite well, and that she could let him inherit the Morikawa family name and continue the Morikawa family line.

After all, she is a ghost, and she may very well disappear; she doesn't have much time left.

As long as Morikawa Yu is willing to continue the Morikawa family line and treat her as an older sister, she is also willing to treat him as a younger brother.

In the end, she didn't say anything, keeping it to herself as a secret, intending to hide it away and pretend she hadn't discovered it.

And so she watched over Morikawa Yu with a mixture of confusion and worry, as Morikawa Yu grew up.

Finally, after more than a year, she decided to fully accept Morikawa Yu and treat him as her younger brother.

But since he wasn't her biological brother, she was more relaxed around him and would do things that she had never done with her brother before.

At the same time, she also developed some possessiveness.

She had no intention of giving up such an outstanding younger brother to anyone else.

And Morikawa Yu was very impressive, in the end he saved her and did so many things that ordinary people could not do.

The older sister said, "Little brother, you didn't need to tell me this. I've known for a long time that you're not my biological brother, and I've accepted you and treated you as my brother. Now that you're telling me, I don't know what to do."

She hugged Morikawa Yu and sighed.

Morikawa Yu nodded, but at the same time felt a little uncomfortable.

My sister is currently using a human body...

But he has a feeling that something is not quite right.

He looked up and suddenly found his sister looking at him with a half-smile: "Little brother, what are you trying to do by telling me this now?"

"You don't really want me to marry you, do you?"

"That won't do."

"We are siblings."

"Although we are not blood-related siblings, we are still siblings after all, and we have a sibling relationship."

"I will not marry you."

"Little brother, I'm willing to do anything you want to me, but let's forget about marriage, okay?"

Morikawa Yu nodded blankly.

The older sister chuckled softly, then leaned down and kissed his forehead: "What a good boy. I will always be with you and do anything with you, even if we don't get married."

Hiizuki and Mitsuko exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Kiyoi Morikawa already knew about Yu Morikawa and was willing to accept her, they no longer needed to worry about her.

This is also the best outcome.

Therefore, even though Kiyoshi Morikawa's last words were somewhat inappropriate, they simply pretended not to hear them.

Ryoko, the shrine maiden, and the shrine maiden beside them remained silent, leaving the moment entirely to the siblings and allowing them to enjoy the tranquility.

After her older sister released Morikawa Yu, Morikawa Yu sat up straight.

He held his sister's hand, looked at Hishizuki, Mitsuko, Ryoko, the Shrine Maiden, and the Princess Shrine Maiden sitting beside him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally just wanted to explain Amaterasu's situation, but he didn't expect that he would also explain his identity to Hiizuki and his sister, so that he no longer needed to hide his identity and origin.

Nothing happens and everything is light.

Morikawa Yu immediately felt relieved.

Next, as long as he goes back to the secret realm of Ise Grand Shrine, finds Amaterasu, and teaches her a good lesson, things should settle down, right?

......

...

The place where the present world and the afterlife meet.

Amaterasu walks along the Sanzu River.

She walked barefoot on the riverbank, each step leaving a footprint that shimmered with a fiery golden light.

But she wasn't actually walking on the ground; she was quite a distance off the ground. Her snow-white, delicate, and jade-like feet were separated from the earth by an invisible golden light.

The soil, originally imbued with the power of the underworld, was scorched to a blackish-gold color the moment the light was about to fall, and large swaths of it began to melt away.

Amaterasu looked at the riverbed, which was half dry.

The waters of the Sanzu River were mostly evaporated by her power, and the river became extremely narrow, shrinking from hundreds of feet to only a dozen feet wide.

Further away, the river was crowded with lanterns.

In the far distance stands a tall, vermilion torii gate, beneath which lies a calm, still, dark river. The two worlds seem completely different, one from the constantly trembling river beyond the torii gate.

The girl took a step and stepped directly onto the river, heading towards the torii gate.

Beneath her feet remained that invisible golden light, and she walked on this light, seemingly floating towards the distant torii gate.

Under the light, the already dried-up Sanzu River evaporated again, and soon the dry riverbed was exposed, on which were the dead soul fish struggling and turning to ashes.

Not long after, she arrived in front of the torii gate and stopped when she was still a dozen or so feet away from it.

She looked at the torii gate in front of her and stretched out her hand.

The three orbs of light, each a different color and bearing a hazy, dreamlike mark, floated up and flew towards the barrier beneath the torii gate, silently merging into it.

Soon, the torii gate began to tremble, and the barrier continued to vibrate.

The girl opened her eyes wide, looking at the torii gate and the barrier, and whispered with expectation in her eyes, "Mother, please come back."

"Please come with me to find Father, bring him back to us, and restore the world to its state as it was in the Age of Gods."

As if it had heard the girl's call, the torii gate's barrier shattered silently.

Wisps of grayish-white light mist seeped out from the broken cracks, spreading outwards and quickly turning the vermilion torii gate into a ghastly white, skeletal color.

The surrounding space also lost its original color the moment these light mists surged out, becoming like a strange, foreign land.

Behind the barrier, there was a massive shadow.

Its outline looks unlike that of an ordinary person. Although it is very thin, its body seems to be as tall as half a torii gate, nearly ten meters high, and there are several petite girls around it.

But when it reached out and walked through the barrier, something changed.

Its hands became slender the moment it stepped through the door, and its body became smaller and smaller until it looked no different from an ordinary person, except that there were distorted spatial fluctuations all around it.

Seeing her step out of the torii gate barrier, Amaterasu began to retreat, while scrutinizing her appearance.

She was a beautiful woman in a kimono who appeared to be about 1.67 meters tall. Her skin was as white as jade, and she wore a deep red kimono with wide sleeves. Her face was incredibly beautiful, truly stunning, but her expression was completely blank, and her eyes were as still as a deep well.

Around her were several half-real, half-illusory figures, which transformed into a final white oil paper and umbrella, floating above her head.

She looked at Amaterasu, a hint of doubt appearing on her icy expression.

She opened her mouth, then seemed to have forgotten how to speak, finally managing to squeeze out awkward words: "Who... are you?"

Amaterasu immediately lowered her head.

Chapter 693 But Mother is acting strangely.

She looked at the beautiful woman in the kimono before her and said cautiously, "I am your daughter."

"Daughter...?" Upon hearing Amaterasu's self-reference, the beautiful woman in the bright red kimono seemed to remember something, and her stunningly beautiful face, which was as cold and stiff as frost, showed some fluctuation.

"daughter......."

"No... I... don't have a child like you... You're not my... daughter..."

Amaterasu immediately shook her head: "I am your daughter! Although I am not your child, my father is your lover, and I am the new god he created with his divine body, and I am also your daughter."

"Him...?" The beautiful woman in the bright red kimono paused slightly.

She had been alone in another desolate world devoid of life for far too long, forgetting too many things, even how to communicate with people.

But when Amaterasu spoke about her, she immediately recalled her past memories.

Are you...his daughter?

"Your scent... is the same as his, your clothes... smell like him too, no... it's his scent on you, but the scent on your clothes doesn't seem to be his... it seems like it is his scent again..."

Izanami's eyes were filled with confusion, as if she couldn't tell who the scent on Amaterasu's chest and hair came from.

She approached Amaterasu.

Although there was nothing beneath her feet, the grayish-white mist acted like a solid ground, supporting her body and allowing her to move through the air.

Before her lay the banks of the Sanzu River, where crimson spider lilies bloomed, their petals as red as blood.

As she approached, the crimson spider lilies trembled, and the bright red color on their petals quickly faded, turning into a snow-white hue.

These spider lilies turned white one by one, and even the spider lilies further away turned snow-white.

It was like a white wave of snow sweeping across the land, instantly turning the black and blood-red earth into a pure white, like snow.

Her gaze was conflicted as she looked at Amaterasu, reaching out to grab his shoulder: "...This smell...it doesn't smell like his, but it does smell like his..."

"...You are his child, and also my daughter..."

"...Where is he? Why isn't he waiting for me here...Where is he!?"

“That’s right, Mother.” Amaterasu immediately lowered her head.

She could sense the power fluctuations emanating from Izanami unconsciously. That power of loneliness and despair, accumulated over countless years, was like the eternally frozen ice of a desolate and cold land, which even her power could not resist.

“My father came to find you back then, but then betrayed you. Later, he used his power and body to create me and other new gods, and gave us the power that sealed you to keep. He then escaped and was reborn. I found him after his reincarnation and want him to use his power to break the seal and bring you back to the present world from the other world.”

"But he is afraid of you, and now he has new wives, all of whom are monsters and sinners who destroyed our age of gods, and he wants to escape back and live with those monsters and sinners."

"His daughter was deceived by his gentle tricks and accidentally let him escape."

"But my daughter obtained a portion of the power and broke the seal between the present world and the afterlife, which is why we were able to welcome you back."

"Let's destroy the present world together, kill those monsters and sinners, rebuild the Age of Gods, and bring Father back."

Izanami listened intently to Amaterasu's words, gradually falling into silence.

"...Did he...run away again?"

"Clearly... I used all my power in that world... to rebuild my divine body... and finally returned to my original form... but he still couldn't accept me... and ran away in fear again?"

Upon hearing Izanami's words, Amaterasu immediately remembered a question and whispered a reminder: "Oh right, Mother, I forgot to tell you, because of the seal between the present and the afterlife, Father and your power no longer flow, and the Age of Gods has come to an end."

“Mother, when you return to the mortal world in your divine body, your power will be affected and will continue to weaken. Your consciousness will also become chaotic. If you want to maintain your consciousness, your power will weaken even faster.”

Izanami shook her head: "It's alright... I've already left the afterlife..."

"When I return to the mortal world... my power and his will flow once more... you will no longer weaken..."

Amaterasu's eyes lit up, and she smiled, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent moons: "So Mother, let's hurry back to the mortal world and rebuild the Age of Gods!"
