"Waiting for the opportunity for me and Izanami to both suffer heavy losses."

"'Otakemaru' - or, should I call you, 'Izanagi'!"

"!?"

Izanami, who was sobbing and struggling, suddenly stopped when she heard these words and stopped struggling.

He just looked at Li Re suddenly.

Looking at his raised eyebrows - I also followed his raised gaze and looked in the direction of the voice!

Then He actually heard...

I heard a very familiar voice.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you - the great existence above gods and ghosts." The low and heavy words echoed at the edge of the cave, and also startled Asamamiya Shenzi, who had been standing at the entrance and exit of Huangquan, and looked over!

I saw a tall figure slowly walking out from the shadows of countless rugged and protruding stone walls... The figure had horns on his head, his body was covered with black scales, and he had a long lizard-like tail dragging behind him. He had no mouth or nose on his face, only a pair of exposed eyes.

That was the 'Otakemaru' among the demons they encountered at the Sanzu River.

just now.

But it became the 'Izanagi' in Li Re's mouth.

But unlike just now, now that she knew that 'Izanami' was the 'devil' that formed the source of the seal of this double copy, and had learned many secrets from Li Re, Asamamiya Kamiko quickly figured it out!

Yes.

There is no way this guy can be the real 'Otakemaru'.

He knew too much. Not only did he know how to temporarily kill Yamata-no-Orochi, he also knew that the only thing that could truly kill Yamata-no-Orochi was the 'Ame-no-Habaki' that had once been in Susanoo's hands. He also knew that Yamata's mouth could lead to the 'Yellow Spring' - he even knew that 'Izanami' under the Yellow Spring was the devil that sealed the source.

These are simply not something that the bizarre 'ghosts and gods' can know!

Even if they live long...the existence of 'ghosts and gods' should stop at the two hundred years after Ame-no-Gochu!

Not to mention.

When this guy appeared, the ghosts and gods nearby showed great fear of him - that kind of fear was not like the fear of a superior at all, but more like this guy had done something that made others afraid.

He himself said that there was a being above gods and ghosts like Li Re who had entered here, but he failed to completely kill Yaqi, and was instead consumed to death by Yaqi in the process of fighting against his immortality.

But how did He know that the being 'above gods and ghosts' was consumed to death?

You know, the 'ghosts and gods' derived from the weirdness will only hide in Tianyanhu when Yaqi wakes up, and cannot and dare not approach Yaqi's battlefield!

It is impossible for a so-called long-lived ghost to know so many details.

Unless...the so-called 'above gods and ghosts' is actually Himself.

And since it's not 'Otakemaru'.

Then the biggest possibility is Izanagi, who has the closest relationship with Izanami.

This also explains why He knows so much about 'Ame-no-Habakiri' - because He watched Izanami forge that long sword with his own eyes. He also said that he did not expect Ame-no-Habakiri to be left in the Sanzu River, which also proves that He had been looking for this mythical long sword, otherwise he would not be so surprised!

Such truth is logical and consistent with the facts!

Even Asamamiya Kamiko could figure it out in an instant, so Li Re, who knew more, had naturally thought of it long ago - in his previous conversation with the so-called 'Otakemaru', he had clarified not only the existence and identity of Izanami, but also the true identity of 'Otakemaru'!

Then, as the voice of 'Otakemaru' - or rather, Izanagi's voice rang out, the already silent Yellow Springs Cave seemed to fall into an even longer and deeper silence.

Then, a moment later, the 'Yellow Spring Thunder God', whose soul was hooked out of consciousness but still remained in the body, roared hoarsely!

"Izanagi, Izanagi... I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Suddenly, the ghost lock began to vibrate violently!

The mythical goddess of the underworld and filth met the lover who had betrayed her - the ancient sealed 'devil' met the ancient player who had deceived him...either one of them was worthy of His hatred!

But for that.

Izanagi just exhaled, looked at Li Re, and said, "I have no intention of deceiving."

"I am indeed 'Izanagi', but I am also 'Otakemaru'... The so-called 'Otakemaru' is nothing more than the 'ghost' formed by the fusion of my remaining will and the power of the Sanzu River after my defeat at the hands of Yaki."

"You can say that I am Izanagi, but Izanagi is not me - I am just the last will of Izanagi left in this world." He explained calmly.

Li Re did not comment on this.

He just moved his feet slightly - the ghost chain that stretched even tighter directly grabbed the restless Izanami, preventing her from rushing forward and rushing towards Izanagi in front of her.

Then he asked, "So...?"

Li Re looked at this "ghost god" with a smile on his face. He thought that according to the normal development, the other party would take advantage of the "mutually injured" situation between him and Izanami to stab him in the back, killing him and taking away the power of the source demon, so as to realize his own ambition.

After all, this group of ancient players had entered the Sanzu River many times.

Isn't it just for this power?

This is why he still let it go even after he realized the true identity of 'Otakemaru'.

This development—

That's logical!

Of course, this is just Li Re’s own imagination...but whether it is true or not, he will not lose anything.

"so."

Izanagi, who was speaking to him, said to Li Re solemnly: "I hope you can let Izanami go and let him witness the future on our behalf!"

"Huh?" Li Re was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and looked a little surprised.

I'm surprised at this person...it seems that he doesn't want Izanami's power as the source of the devil, but instead wants me to let her go?

Izanami also became even more hysterical.

"Izanagi, you don't have to pretend to be kind here. I hate you - I hate you...you liar!" The withered goddess said this through gritted teeth.

Izanagi's expression remained calm.

He looked at Izanami and said, "I am indeed a liar."

"A liar who promised to help you out but couldn't do it - but at least I don't regret it."

"At least I resisted."

“It still failed though.”

"Although everything is still in vain."

"But at least, you survived, avoided the disaster, and lived to this era to see the return of paradise!"

"my daughter'."

"!?"

The hysterical Izanami suddenly froze.

Li Re was also stunned - even though he claimed to have seen through everything, he was still unable to react.

Asamamiya Kamiko opened her red lips slightly, feeling that this sentence contained a lot of information.

Izanami... is Izanagi's daughter?

"you..."

The withered goddess of the underworld opened her mouth.

"I have always been."

Izanagi said calmly, "You forgot that there has never been any Izanagi in this world. There is only Izanami and the path Izanami took, right?"

"Qi" means a forked road.

Izanami not only opened her mouth, but also suddenly widened the eyes on her haggard face!

But after being stunned for a moment, Li Re suddenly laughed out loud!

"interesting."

He said.

"So funny!"

he said.

"Comparing the deeds of ancient players with the myths...it's really interesting!" Li Re said.

"It seems you have figured it out."

'Izanagi' - or rather, the father of 'Izanami' in the archives of Sengen Shrine, Amanomichu, looked at Li Re again.

"It's no use not figuring it out... After all, what you said is clear enough." Li Re said: "So, my guess is still not accurate enough after all-"

"I guessed most of the things right, but I didn't expect the meaning of the name Izanagi, nor did I expect Izanagi's true identity... I didn't expect that you brought Izanami back to this seal not to seal Him again, but to protect Him!"

The so-called seal actually has a protective function!

And think about it carefully.

Of the ancient Japanese players who could be titled 'above gods and demons', 'Izanagi' was obviously not qualified, because although he created the land of Japan in mythology, he was only the last of the seven generations of gods, and there were six generations before him, and above him, there was Betsujin God. Also, because he was not the earliest ancient player, there was the generation of 'Betsujin God' before him.

Only Tian Zhiyuzhong can be said to be 'above gods and demons'.

Above all gods and demons in Japan!

In addition, Izanami, whose player codename is 'Creator', can forge Ame-no-Habakiri. However, Izanagi, who was supposed to forge the land of Japan with Izanagi in the mythology, cannot even replicate the second Ame-no-Habakiri. This is also the biggest doubt about the existence of Izanagi.

From this, it is easy to infer that Izanagi is a false existence.

The only one who created Japan was Izanami, who possessed the 'power of creation'!

After such a reversal, there was another reversal. No wonder Li Re laughed so happily!

Izanami, who had been standing there in a daze, suddenly became excited again.

"No, it's impossible. You can't be the 'Father God'... You can't be Ame-no-Mikado... You lied to me, Izanagi - you lied to me..."

He said so.

He also wanted to convince himself.

But He suddenly remembered a lot.

He thought about the time when the man who called himself "Izanagi" appeared in front of him, and the time when "Father God" Amanohana always disappeared. He thought about the loving look Izanagi gave him... and the existence of the original gods - or the original generation of players, which he could no longer sense after he entered the underworld again.

Yes.

Although there are occasional rumors that Izanagi is the son-in-law of Ame-no-Mikado and the husband of Izanami.

But I have always regarded him as my brother.

The relationship between them is more like that of brother and sister, almost like that of father and daughter, without any impurities or other emotions.

Because the feeling that Izanagi gave Izanami was very similar to that of the 'Father God' Ame-no-Mikaku who took him out of the seal, shaped his body, and gave him human emotions.

There was no way Izanami could fall in love with her 'Father God'.

There was no way Izanagi could fall in love with his own 'daughter'.

She liked him very much, but she only liked him as a relative.

But I couldn't help thinking so.

Izanami still didn't dare to believe it.

"Just treat it as a lie and continue living in this new era."

"After all, the person standing here now is not Amanomichi, nor Izanagi, but a phantom who has experienced three deaths."

"Ame-no-Mikado" just said calmly, but he didn't look at Izanami, he still looked at Li Re.

At this time, Li Re had sorted out everything for the second time.

According to the archives left by Sengen Shrine, according to the ancient myths passed down orally in Japan, and according to what I saw and heard in the Sanzu River and the underworld——

He said:

"I never thought that the oldest player leader would develop a father-daughter relationship with the boss in the dungeon..."

"She is indeed the dungeon boss, but she was also created by me using rare earth to fuse my own blood. She is my biological daughter - there is no denying that."

Tian Zhiyuzhong said calmly: "A top silver player born in the new era... a great existence above gods and demons. I can see that your current strength is no less than ours in the past. You should also be one of the leaders of the players in the era when this paradise comes again. I can also see that you have been pursuing the traces we left behind in the past - and keeping her may give you enough clues, right?"

"Anyway, he is powerless in your hands, and your 'ghost chains' have the ability to restrain his power. As long as you restrain him, this 'Sanzu River' and 'Yellow Spring' will no longer exist, and the ghosts and gods outside, including me, will disappear, and the thing that the waiter serving Kokohana Yeji is worried about will not happen."
