I'm tied to Athena.

In the story, the most impressive thing about Tamamonomae is her nine tails.

Then Ibaraki Douji told him that this fox only has one tail?

"Ah, there is indeed only one piece of news I got." Ibaraki Douji nodded.

"Is that so..." Li Yun pondered for a while, and finally stood up to say goodbye, "Thank you very much, this news is very important to me."

"Oh, are you leaving now? I still want to have a drink with you... Ah, drink and hug each other, with heat and passion surging, and then fight each other..."

"..." Li Yun was speechless because he couldn't understand the ghost's thoughts. In the end, he could only say politely, "If I have time, I will come for a drink."

"Oh, it's settled. Hehehe...I can't wait to extract your bone marrow bit by bit."

Ignoring Ibuki Douji's charming voice, Li Yun left Oeyama.

After watching Li Yun leave, Dajiang Mountain returned to its previous state. Although there were two more ghost kings, it was not a bad thing for Dajiang Mountain.

"Takama-ga-hara..." After descending Mount Oe, Li Yun continued his journey with the little fox. He stroked the little fox's fur, "The journey is not far... We will be there soon."

The Takamagahara in mythology is a place floating in the sky...or an island that cannot be found on the ground. But no matter what kind of island it is, there must be a corresponding underworld.

Although there are few legends about the underworld area corresponding to Takamagahara, there are records of it.

For example, some ancient records say that Takama-ga-hara is located in Hyuga, which is near Miyazaki Prefecture and Kagoshima Prefecture in modern Japan, while some other records say that Takama-ga-hara is located further north.

But no matter what book it is, it all points to the spiritual world above the former capital city of Nara.

In other words, Takama-ga-hara is located in the former capital city of Nara.

It is about a hundred miles from Oeyama to Nara. According to Li Yun's speed, he can arrive there in one hour.

In order to take care of the little fox, he slowed down a bit and it took him two hours to reach the former capital city of Nara.

The city of Nara was built based on its actual situation after absorbing the ancient cities of Chang'an and Luoyang, so its planning and layout have the shadow of the two ancient cities.

Standing on a high mountain outside Nara City, Li Yun looked at this town which was extremely famous in later generations for a while, and then moved his eyes upwards.

The classical records are correct, the legendary Takama-ga-hara is located above Nara.

He has already sensed the vast divine power.

Because Takama-ga-hara is located in the sky, there are only two ways to get there: one is to be able to fly, and the other is to have a god lead the way.

Li Yun didn’t know the gods of this world, so he could only fly up by himself.

But suddenly, a beam of light fell from the sky behind him, and a long bell sound came from the beam of light.

"Dingling bell~~~"

The sudden change attracted Li Yun's attention, and he turned to look at the beam of light.

The light of the beam was not strong, it could even be described as gentle, and, bathed in this light, Li Yun felt his body and mind slowly relax.

About two or three seconds later, the beam of light disappeared, and a woman who was so beautiful that she seemed unreal appeared in front of him.

Her long silver hair is like moonlight, her red eyes are like gems, her skin is white as snow, and she is graceful and elegant.

She is dressed in ancient shrine maiden's attire, with the morning sun as her crown and the night as her clothes; her white skirt is trailing lightly, with a fox cub wrapped around her knees, and a Kagura bell lightly grasped in her hand.

Rice planting...No, it’s Inari Goddess Yuzenjin. When Li Yun saw this person, he guessed his name.

"My lord the hero," she said, bowing her head gently. "I am the Inari Goddess, Ootenzu, and I have been ordered to come and greet you."

"You know me?" Li Yun raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. It seemed like he was in this world for the first time, why did Yu Zhuanjin know him?

"Yes, all the gods of Takama-ga-hara are waiting for you." Just as the rumors said, Miozuchi was very gentle, and her voice seemed to carry a mysterious power that could soothe all suspicion and resentment.

Squinting his eyes, Li Yun followed Yuzhongjin to Takama-ga-hara, the island in the sky.

"Is this... a barrier?"

If you look from the outside with the naked eye, Takama-ga-hara is just an island in the sky, but once you step into the island, it's like traveling through a world, and everything in your field of vision changes in an instant.

A beautiful scene that only appears in dreams appeared.

"Yes, this is the barrier set up by Amaterasu Omikami to separate Takamagahara from the human world." Leading Liyun through the torii, Yuzhongjin said, "Amaterasu Omikami has set up a banquet inside to welcome you."

"Banquet?" Li Yun was puzzled. "I got the news that a monster broke into Takama-ga-hara not long ago and caused a big commotion here. How can you still have time to hold a banquet?"

"Although a demon fox did break in, with Amaterasu Omikami present, Takamagahara suffered no damage. This incident can only become a topic of conversation among the gods after tea, and will not attract their attention."

This explanation was a little unbelievable to Li Yun. Their own territory had been attacked, but these gods were still indifferent and even wanted to hold a banquet. Isn't this too Buddhist?

Chapter 418: Huang's Prophecy

Following Yuzhongjin, Liyun came to the deepest part of Takama-ga-hara.

There is a luxurious palace here, and seats lined up all the way down from the palace.

However, compared to the luxurious palace and seats, what attracted Li Yun more was the person standing at the entrance of the palace - that man!

He saw the power of destiny in that man.

For no apparent reason, Li Yun whispered his name softly, "Huang..."

"Master Huang, the hero is here." Yu Zhongjin walked up to the man, "I will take my leave first."

"Wait, Miojin. This time Amaterasu Omikami is welcoming the hero, and all the gods of Takamagahara should be present. Your seat is inside, go in."

"Huh?" Miojin was a little surprised. Although she was the Goddess of Inari and had a very high reputation among the Japanese people, in Takama-ga-hara, she was just a god of harvest. Compared with other gods of war and gods of martial arts, she was not at all noticeable.

After not seeing her seat outside, she thought she was not qualified to attend the banquet, so she planned to leave.

But now...her seat was actually arranged in the palace?

There was no explanation to her, and there was no need to explain to her.

After Huang finished speaking, he walked straight towards Li Yun, ignoring Yu Zhuanjin who was looking surprised.

"Nice to meet you, brave man." The man looked at Li Yun, "My name is Huang, I am responsible for observing the fate of this world, and I am also the one who will assist you in saving this world."

"I know you have a lot to ask, but now please join the banquet that Amaterasu Omikami has prepared for you."

After a moment of silence, Li Yun nodded in agreement.

Huang took him into the palace and met Amaterasu Omikami, who ruled Takama-ga-hara.

Amaterasu Omikami....well, Li Yun has two impressions of her, one is beautiful, the other is cold.

Far from the title of the Sun God, Amaterasu Omikami gives people the feeling of being too high and mighty, without any human breath at all.

Therefore, Li Yun responded to her greeting in a very formal manner.

After enduring the banquet, Li Yun followed Huang and left the palace of Amaterasu Omikami, and the gods who attended the banquet also left one after another.

"Is this your territory?"

Surrounded by stars, the floor beneath your feet disappears, making you feel like you are standing in the starry sky. The numerous stars from near to far make you feel like you are there, and you feel very small.

Li Yun couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a nice place."

"You're too kind. This is just the workplace given by the gods." Huang waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding scene disappeared immediately, replaced by a quiet courtyard.

He invited Li Yun to sit down and poured him some good tea. "Now, you can ask anything you want to ask."

"No need for honorifics. My name is Li Yun. You can just call me Li Yun."

"No, you are a brave warrior, how can I treat you as an equal? ​​This is against the rules."

"But I always feel a little uncomfortable with you doing this."

"...If I have caused any confusion to you, Master Brave, I apologize. How about I call you Master Liyun from now on?"

"Although there is no difference between these two titles, but...let's just leave it like this." Li Yun gave up the idea of ​​asking Huang to change his words and got to the point.

"Let me understand the situation first."

Li Yun was really confused by the reactions of the gods in Takama-ga-hara. Compared to the matter of the fox demon, he now wanted to understand the situation in this world more.

"This story begins a year ago." Huang Qingqing began to narrate what happened in this world.

A year ago, Huang saw the end of the world's destruction.

As a person who can observe the future, that is, the direction of destiny, Huang has been observing this world. When he found out that the world was going to be destroyed, he was shocked.

He knew that fate could not be avoided and could not be changed in any way.

Therefore, he saw this fate, which means that this fate will definitely come.

Everyone, whether gods or demons, whether in heaven or in the human world, will disappear - destroyed by a giant being with nine tails!

After the shock, Huang calmly accepted this fact.

Anyway, the ending of destruction cannot be avoided no matter what. Since one day is sorrow and one day is happiness, why not continue to live as usual?

Moreover, in order to prevent the gods and humans of Takamagahara from panicking, Huang chose to conceal the news.

But half a year ago, Huang suddenly discovered that the ending had changed.

The fate that was originally destined to be destroyed suddenly changed.

A brave man holding a sickle descended from another world and led many monsters to fight against the source of all evil that destroyed the world. They fought bloody battles until their death. In the end, after paying a heavy price, the monsters won the final victory, and the brave man completed his mission and left here.

At this moment, Huang was confused.

As the observer of fate for thousands of years, no one can resist fate. Even he can only spend every boring day under the arrangement of fate.

Why can this person, this existence, resist fate?

Such questions lingered in Huang's mind.

However, this question can only be answered when he meets Li Yun. Before Li Yun arrives, what Huang needs to do is to tell the gods of Takama-ga-hara about this matter.

As fate would have it, the gods did not interfere in this matter, so he told the gods in advance not to panic or act rashly. It would be disastrous if their actions led to a failure in saving the world.

"I see...I roughly understand." In this way, everything makes sense.

Because the gods knew that the world would be destroyed, and the only one who could save the world was Li Yun, they took so much trouble to prepare this banquet for him.

Even the proud Amaterasu Omikami forced a smile to greet him.

"But why am I leading a group of monsters instead of gods?" Compared to monsters, the fighting power of gods is undoubtedly stronger. If the gods can help, it will definitely be much easier.

"I don't know about this either." Huang shook his head, and then tried to ask: "Does Lord Li Yun need the help of the gods?"

"I can't rely on myself to save the world if the people of this world don't help. Therefore, the fighting power of the gods is indispensable."

"I understand. I will be responsible for notifying the gods and letting them prepare for war." Although he was worried whether this would change the course of his fate, since it was the brave Li Yun who said so, he would put aside his worries and listen to him.

“Well, please.

Chapter 419: The fox I picked up was a feathered fox

After understanding the situation of this world, Li Yun and Huang turned their topic to the monster that had caused a lot of trouble in Takama-ga-hara not long ago.

This happened a month ago.

One day a month ago, the originally peaceful and tranquil Takama-ga-hara was broken by the roar of wild beasts, and a huge fox a hundred meters tall broke in.

The gods, immersed in joy, were awakened and responded quickly.

Gods with the positions of God of War, God of Martial Arts, etc. all took action.

However, it was useless.

The fox was like a demon king, easily crushing the attacks of the gods. In the end, it was only Amaterasu who managed to repel the fox.

Because Amaterasu Omikami acted early, there was little damage in Takama-ga-hara. Even the buildings that were destroyed by the fox were repaired by the gods with their divine power.

"Lord Liyun, through foresight, I can determine that the demon fox that has been causing trouble in Takama-ga-hara for a month is the culprit that is about to destroy the world. Although Amaterasu Omikami intends to take down the demon fox directly, the demon fox is very powerful and fled when it sensed danger."

"Do you know why it came to Takamagahara?"

In fact, there is also a fox demon named Tamamonomae in this world. However, the Tamamonomae in this world is a little different from the legend. Well, he is a man.

When coming from Oeyama, Li Yun once wondered whether the fox demon that caused trouble in Takama-ga-hara might be the Tamamonomae of this world.

Although one tail is very concerning, Tamamonomae is proficient in the art of transformation, and it is possible that he deliberately changed to have only one tail.

But after hearing what Huang said, Li Yun felt that this possibility was very low.

Facing the strongest god in Japan, Amaterasu Oomikami, Tamamonomae definitely did not have the extra energy to perform transformation techniques to hide his tail.

In other words, this demon fox is not the Tamamonomae of this world.
