I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

They looked at the center of the battlefield and saw Lin Hezhen standing with his hands behind his back, his body straight as a pine tree, his eyes calm, and an indifferent yet powerful aura emanating from him, as if he was looking down on the world.

Being stared at by these eyes, Lin Hezhen seemed to be aware of something.

He turned his head and glanced at the people in the distance. Just one look was enough to make those people feel frightened.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should we do now?" The Minister of Defense said tremblingly with fear, his legs going weak.

It was originally a sure-fire change, but how did it suddenly change to a scene of ghosts wreaking havoc in the capital? Later, it turned into a sci-fi blockbuster with a humanoid Gundam slaughtering thousands of enemies. He was almost scared silly.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash!" Two cold rays shot out of Da Tengu's eyes.

He sneered and said, "You bunch of rubbish, there's no point in keeping you around, just kill them all!"

Under the horrified gaze of the group of people, the Great Tengu revealed its true form, revealing its bloody mouth and sharp teeth.

He opened his mouth and bit the Minister of Defense's neck, breaking the cervical vertebra with one bite, and blood splattered everywhere.

The Defense Minister didn't even have time to scream before his entire body was torn into several pieces and swallowed by the Great Tengu.

"A monster!"

The remaining people were so scared that they crawled away, but they could not outrun the great Tengu. They were all caught up by him and devoured.

"Pah, a bunch of old bones, the meat is old and tough, it's really unpalatable."

The great Tengu ate the last person, spat out the remaining blood foam in his mouth, and had a look of disgust on his face.

With a wave of his hand, he took back the three sacred weapons hovering in the sky, plunged into the night, and flew towards the nearby Zhenguo Shrine.

Before leaving, he did not forget to give Lin Hezhen a provocative look.

Lin Hezhen was almost amused by him.

"After watching the fight just now, he actually dared to provoke me. This great Tengu is really mentally ill."

However, Lin Hezhen has no rule not to kill the mentally ill. Based on the principle of eradicating all evil, he immediately chased after him.

The official name of this shrine is Fuso Taisha, where the "heroic spirits" of the island nation's past generations are enshrined.

The islanders enshrine the "heroic spirits" who "sacrificed" for the retired emperor and the country in Fuso Taisha Shrine to "comfort" and "honor" them.

Whenever there are major events or important festivals, grand sacrificial ceremonies are held here, and celebrities from all walks of life participate.

Not to mention the media's hype, which has turned it into a famous tourist attraction, allowing the islanders to worship and visit it, allowing it to absorb a strong humanitarian aura.

And Daitengu has already chosen this place as the battlefield for the final battle.

Chapter 220: Decisive Battle, National Shrine

Fuso Taisha Shrine is located in a secluded spot near the Imperial Palace.

It covers a large area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters, with beautiful environment and pleasant scenery.

The shrine consists of 42 ancillary facilities with a relatively traditional architectural style. The carved beams and painted buildings are extremely exquisite, and the overall appearance is solemn and dignified.

To ordinary people, this is a majestic and sacred building, but the surrounding area is relatively quiet and covered with greenery, which makes it appear peaceful and tranquil.

But in Lin Hezhen's eyes, this ominous shrine was shrouded in a huge black fog.

There were sounds like ghosts howling in the black fog, and it was filled with a spooky and evil aura.

This road leading to the shrine is like the gate to hell.

The closer we got to the shrine, the thicker the fog became. In the end, there was complete silence. Not a sound was heard. Even the chirping of birds and insects disappeared. Only the shrine was left in the mist, looming in the distance.

The night was as cool as water, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a light blue and soft light.

Under the moonlight, Lin Hezhen stood in front of the two archways called "Otorii" at the entrance of Fuso Taisha Shrine.

He looked at the eerie shrine in front of him and sneered disdainfully: "Humph, playing tricks."

He waved his sleeves, and the overwhelming pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator swept towards the shrine. With a sudden wave of his right hand, the thick white mist was immediately and forcefully dispersed, revealing the true face of Fuso Grand Shrine.

Behind the Great Torii, there are the Lingxi Book Fengan Hall, the Main Hall, the Worship Hall, the Shinmon Gate, the Yujukan, the Saiting Garden, and various statues and monuments arranged in an orderly manner.

These buildings are all towering and majestic, full of a sacred and majestic atmosphere, but beneath the sacredness, there seems to be a hint of coldness.

Lin Hezhen followed the breath of the Great Tengu and went straight into the main hall.

This temple is a place for worshipping gods. It covers a very large area, with hundreds of steps from front to back and left to right. The ground is paved with fine bluestone bricks, and thick sandalwood pillars that are hundreds of years old stand up. Even from a distance, you can faintly smell the faint fragrance.

Not to mention the various altars, incense burners, statues, murals, etc., all of which are exquisite and precious.

In addition to these, the shrine also houses the spirit tablets of war criminals, a spirit book with the names of the criminals, and war murals carved on the walls...

But the most shocking thing is the five-meter-high statues of gods placed in the middle of the lobby.

They are Izanami, the most famous land-making god and father of mankind in the island nation's mythology; Izanami, the mother of mankind and the god of death; Amaterasu, the sun god, lord of Takamagahara and ancestor of the island nation's royal family; Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the moon god and god of the underworld; and Susanoo, the head of the Kunitsu gods and the one who killed the Yamata-no-Orochi.

Each of these statues is magnificent, majestic and sacred, filled with golden light and solemnity.

However, in Lin Hezhen's consciousness, the entire shrine was shrouded in a black fog.

This black fog was filled with evil power and was eerie and terrifying, making the statues look like ghosts crawling out of the Netherworld.

In the center of the hall, there stood a figure quietly. It was the Great Tengu.

He had now discarded his disguise, revealing his true face.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a yellow-draped robe, a royal crown with a standing tassel on his head, and holding a tablet in his hand. His thin face was full of resentment and evil, and his eyes flashed with a strange red light.

Lin Hezhen said calmly, "Is this the burial place you chose for yourself? A large, filthy toilet."

"Hehe, you will soon know why I led you here." Da Tengu grinned.

"As the first sacrifice of the gods, you should feel extremely honored!"

"Today is the day when God descends!"

After the Great Tengu finished speaking, he offered up the three sacred artifacts. At the same time, a large magic circle with an area of ​​more than 10 square meters centered on Fuso Taisha was activated. The power of humanitarian faith pouring in from all directions enveloped the entire hall.

A large amount of negative energy and death energy gathered from the entire city, forming a huge black torrent.

The souls of countless innocent people who died tragically at the hands of evil spirits were swept away by this black torrent and wailed in fear.

They struggled and howled desperately but could not break free of their restraints. Eventually their souls turned into the purest energy and became sacrifices for the great Tengu to summon the gods.

As the formation continued to operate, a small sun rose slowly from the center of the formation.

This sun emits golden light, illuminating the whole world!

That is the glory of God!

In a sacred light, a vast breath descended from the sun and enveloped the entire space.

At this moment, all light disappeared and the whole world fell into deathly silence.

Then, a giant figure, more than ten feet tall, golden in color and wearing an imperial crown, walked out from the light, and its body gradually became solid.

He had a Yasakani no Magatama hanging around his neck, a Shinkeijin mirror in his left hand, and a Kusanagi sword in his right hand. He looked exactly like Susanoo, the "God of Destruction" enshrined in Fuso Taisha Shrine.

However, there have long been no truly living gods on the Blue Planet. This "Susanoo" was merely a forcible combination of human luck and yin energy, death energy, and evil energy. He only had the status of a demigod and lacked clear consciousness.

If He is allowed to act at will, He will probably be driven by the resentment of countless suffering souls, and become "the evil of this world" by virtue of His chaotic instinct, and kill all living creatures.

However, Daitengu was obviously not satisfied with just this.

He mobilized all his demonic power, and his entire body swelled up like a balloon, instantly enlarging hundreds of times. Finally, it exploded with a loud bang, turning into a blood mist that wrapped around a demon pill and flew towards the direction of "Susanoo".

Soon, Daitengu's soul merged into this divine body, and with the help of the three sacred artifacts, he successfully took control of this new body.

Then, the body of the god suddenly grew larger, directly breaking through the roof of the main hall and transforming into a giant that was hundreds of meters tall.

"Everything in the world, salute the birth of the new god!"

Daitengu, no, Susanoo let out a deafening roar.

When he uttered the last word, it was as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart, and thunder was exploding.

The entire city seemed to be roaring with thousands of thunder and lightning at the same time.

"what is that?"

"Is it the Giant of Light?"

"Haga, that's obviously a god! It's Susano'o, I've seen his statue in the Jinguo Shrine!"

In the distance, countless people who saw this scene were all dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief in their eyes.

"Gods actually exist!"

"My eyes are not blurred, are they?"

"It's Susanoo. Is everything in the myth true?"

That night, the three solid outlooks that people had established in the past suddenly collapsed under the fierce impact of the extraordinary power.

This group of ordinary people who lived in a modern society and never believed in ghosts and gods were dumbfounded at this moment, staring at the golden giant in the distance in disbelief.

"I didn't expect that your ultimate goal is to become a god. I have to say, you are really crazy and stupid."

Lin Hezhen flew into the air and hovered in front of Susanoo.

Looking at the seemingly powerful Susanoo, Lin Hezhen sneered.

"You are only using a method to forcibly condense your soul. Do you still have the nerve to call yourself a god? This is really ridiculous! Your essence is nothing more than a stronger evil ghost."

"Is it so easy to accept Shinto beliefs? If you want to become a god and enjoy the incense of the world, you must bear the consequences of being a god."

"You are infected by the resentment of many souls every moment. Although you can rely on the power of souls and the luck of humanity to survive for a long time, your own spirituality will only become more and more polluted until it collapses and finally turns into a crazy beast."

"If you don't cultivate to the realm of entering the Dao, your primordial spirit is immortal, and you have mastered a law of the Heavenly Dao, how can you dare to take the path of God? Therefore, those below the Dao are all false gods. Only those who have entered the Dao are the real 'true gods'."

Da Tengu was immersed in the joy of becoming a god, but when he heard Lin Hezhen's words, his face immediately became extremely ugly.

A dark light suddenly shot out from his scarlet eyes, and he shouted sternly, "How dare a mere ant talk about the gods? Today I will teach you what the power of the gods is!"

boom!

He raised his right arm, and black light shot up into the sky. His huge fist, with the power to destroy the world, rushed straight towards Lin Hezhen.

There was an ear-piercing tearing sound in the air, as if the entire void was shattered by his fist, forming a terrifying and hideous giant hole.

This earth-shattering punch hit Lin Hezhen, knocking him back like a cannonball and crashing heavily into a mountain.

The mountain collapsed with a loud bang, and smoke and dust filled the sky.

Before this, numerous artillery shells, missiles, and rockets could not move Lin Hezhen at all, but a single attack from "Susanoo" sent Lin Hezhen flying thousands of meters away, which shows how terrifying its strength is.

"Hahaha, did you see it? This is the difference between gods and ants!" Daitengu laughed wildly.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Lin Hezhen was standing there unharmed, without any sign of injury, and not even a speck of dust on the corners of his clothes.

There was no sign of anger or offense on his face, but a look of joy: "Finally, there is a tough and thick sandbag that I can enjoy myself with."

"To be honest, all the enemies I encountered along the way were too weak. They fell before I could even exert my full strength."

When Daitengu heard this, his eyes turned cold.

"If you want to use me as a punching bag, you have to have the ability to do so."

He took a step forward and stomped heavily on the ground. The buildings beneath his feet collapsed instantly, and even the land within a hundred miles was cracked into pieces by his steps.

"Tian Congyun Sword! Cut!"

Along with these words, the ancient sword that was said to have killed the Yamata no Orochi suddenly turned into a giant green sword that was dozens of meters long, and chopped down like a falling meteor.

A dazzling green light cut through the sky and headed straight for Lin Hezhen. The powerful sword energy instantly shattered all the buildings in the middle.

Lin Hezhen did not dodge or evade, but shouted: "Watch out for the sword!"

The golden Fuyao Sword grew stronger in the wind, creating an explosive vortex of spiritual energy, and rushed towards the Tiancongyun Sword with unparalleled violent momentum.

"Rumble--"

The green light and the golden light collided violently, and a dazzling white light burst out in an instant, as if the entire world was cut in half.

The horrific aftermath spread out in an instant, sweeping in all directions. More than half of the buildings of the National Shrine were blown away by the storm, countless towering ancient trees were broken in half, and countless huge rocks were thrown high into the sky.

Lin Hezhen used all his strength to activate his Nascent Soul, and the vast spiritual power was poured into the flying sword. The golden light actually overcame the green light and swept up with irresistible momentum. Man and sword became one, and stabbed at the Great Tengu.

"Humph, you think you can defeat God like this? You really overestimate your own abilities."

The Great Tengu sneered and raised the Zhenjing Jingjing Mirror and Yasakani no Quyu in his left hand.
