Correspondingly, just as quickly, a brighter light emerged at the end of this passage.

And then suddenly there came a fierce gust of wind!

Buzz - the long and trembling vocal music echoes in my ears along with the strong wind.

Another voice sounded, condensing into clear words.

"Is it him?"

"The 'immortal' who came from the upper country..."

"Will he bring disaster? Or will he bring change?"

"It is said that the people who have been bred by the people of 'Tian Sun' are thriving... Is the upper country also going to interfere?"

"Although most of our mythical professional power comes from the upper country, and we are indeed able to become 'gods' with the help of the upper country...but they should not control us like this!"

"Silence! Silence! Listen to what the 'Great Authority' has to say first!"

This is not Japanese, nor can it be Daxia.

It is the common language of 'Paradise'!

Li Re raised his eyes while listening to these chaotic words, and what he saw was a magnificent Japanese-style palace interior - huge round wooden pillars stood inside the walls on both sides, supporting the square dome and beams above his head, and the extended walls seemed to be painted with all kinds of human life in ancient Japan, Mount Fuji and the endless sky and earth.

And on top of these wooden building structures, it seemed as if they were all covered with a layer of scaly gold powder.

The shimmering light seemed to reflect the scorching sun in the distance, illuminating the vast hall in a dazzling light that was far brighter than the outside world.

In this light, there were figures sitting upright, looking around, either curiously or warily at Li Re who was walking through the corridor.

Among them, there was a god in armor sitting cross-legged in the east holding a giant umbrella, an old man with a huge head and a long robe, and a beautiful girl sitting on a lotus platform wearing a long skirt with eight arms... Li Re had seen some of these figures before, in the shadows of gods and Buddhas displayed by the 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi, and some of them were also seen for the first time, but their identities undoubtedly pointed to Japanese mythology - they were the source of ancient mythology, the many gods living on Takama-ga-hara, and the players active in ancient Japan!

They are still here.

Still above Takama-ga-hara!

Li Re's brows twitched, facing these many mythical figures - looking straight at the center of the entire Japanese-style hall, which was also the top position.

there.

Between the layers of curtains, an incomparably bright light surged and spread as if there was a 'sun' sitting there. The light that covered the entire palace inside and out with a layer of gold powder was obviously coming from this.

In this "sun", there is a figure sitting upright.

"quiet."

The figure spoke like this, with a clear and pleasant voice.

Then, this hall where all the gods gathered finally became quiet.

These ancient players who were revered as gods sat on both sides, crossed their legs or knelt down, bowed together, and said to the figure in the blazing sun: "Please speak, 'Great Authority'!"

What is displayed behind the grand ceremony is the great majesty.

The highest god of Japan.

Amaterasu.

Also known as Amaterasu Ooomikami.

The 'Lord of Heaven' who is above all gods seems to deserve such a pomp and ceremony.

However...

Li Re, looking at the mirror image of the blazing sun, suddenly grinned and laughed out loud!

It's just God.

Just an ancient player.

He even conquered Izanami.

I've even seen 'Ame no Michu'.

And of course you won't feel constrained.

His laughter floated freely in the hall, without any manners or the slightest etiquette that an outsider should observe as a guest - he just laughed very happily and very amusingly.

So funny.

he said in his heart.

So interesting.

he thought.

"Such an illusion...even my 'Heavenly Eye' was deceived. Is this the power of the 'Yata Mirror', one of the three legendary artifacts owned by 'Amaterasu'?"

He opened his mouth and said so!

In the face of this voice, the gods still bowed and knelt, and the 'goddess' sitting at the top still lowered her eyes and did not react at all. Everything seemed to be frozen - of course they could not react.

After all, it is just a shadow left over from the past.

After all, it is just a false mirror image, not the real "god and Buddha".

The real ancient players...just as 'Amanomichi' said, have long disappeared!

Otherwise, they would not have never appeared in this age of Paradise Return.

Yes, the scene before our eyes was all fake—it was a recorded scene that actually happened in Takamagahara!

as predicted.

As Li Re finished speaking, the scene in front of him was still there, but the figure shrouded in the light began to become blurry and distorted. The 'gods' who were just talking began to twist and collapse, and disappeared in the light as if melting, like a phantom that had been punctured and ceased to exist.

From far to near.

From both sides to the top.

The figures gradually disappeared, and finally only the shadow of the goddess Amaterasu sitting in the scorching sun remained.

She also began to twist.

Start to collapse.

But this shadow seemed to be more solid than the shadows of other gods - the beautiful goddess figure revealed under the blazing and dazzling light looked at Li Re with a meaningful look.

However, Li Re knew that she was not looking at him.

But in this recorded scene of the past, there really was an ancient player from the Great Xia Kingdom who came from the 'Western' Great Xia Kingdom and was called an 'immortal'.

All that remains after the collapse and distortion is a mirror hanging above.

Li Rexin, looking at the mirror, said that it was indeed like this. He felt something was strange when he was communicating with 'Amano Iwama' earlier - the ancient Japanese door god guarding the 'Heavenly Gate' seemed to be talking to him very naturally, but the words were very stiff, as if it was a fixed dialogue... Obviously, he was only asking about Amaterasu's abilities or props, but Amano Iwama suddenly boasted about Amaterasu's abilities very proudly.

This feels like a non-answer.

It was as if he was not answering his own question, but the question of another person who had arrived.

And this feeling became more and more obvious after arriving here.

It is true that I came from the Great Xia Kingdom.

But today's Daxia is no longer a superior country to Japan, which betrayed the international Eastern camp.

Moreover, the Great Xia Kingdom had never interfered in anything in Japan before.

The feeling revealed by this conversation did not feel like Li Re had set foot in the kingdom of gods - instead, it felt like he had broken into the ancient time and space where ancient players existed.

It was not until Amaterasu herself spoke that Li Re finally confirmed one thing.

It has been confirmed that these so-called 'gods' before our eyes... are fake, not real!

Because of the ripples created the moment it opened.

When he opened his mouth, the scene fell silent for a moment.

The so-called majesty of gods is too illusory. Since he can be called a "god", he must be a silver-level player who possesses some power. Under this premise, even if Amaterasu is really one level stronger than other players, as long as he has not reached gold and has not undergone a real qualitative change, it is impossible for him to completely silence others the moment he opens his mouth.

Her opening was more like a sudden shift in the focus of the mirror - from the other gods' players to Amaterasu.

The other gods became dim and speechless as a result.

Amaterasu also became clear.

"It's a pity that phantoms are just phantoms after all, and they don't have any power. Otherwise, I really want to know what kind of power these ancient players possess... and what professions they are - that they can originate from Daxia."

Li Re thought so.

He also felt it was a pity that this was yet another "analysis" without anyone.

But none of this matters.

The important thing is...

"Now it seems that the key to Takamagahara lies in this mirror!"

In ancient Japanese legends, Amaterasu is the goddess of the sun who was born when Izanagi washed his left eye. She symbolizes the vitality of the rising sun, the fiery of the midday sun and the stability of the setting sun. She also symbolizes the gentleness of sunlight and the pain of being burned by the sun. She also symbolizes all the light and shadow that fills the world.

The mirror is the manifestation of light and shadow. It is like the "Ken Kusanagi Sword" that symbolizes the burning sun and the "Yasakani no Magatama" that symbolizes the gentle sunlight. It is the manifestation of the power of Amaterasu.

——'Yata Mirror'.

That is the mirror that appears in front of Li Re at this moment.

It seems that although the gods suddenly disappeared, Amaterasu left the mirror behind.

Li Re took a step towards the Eight-foot Mirror.

'Tian Yanjian' was able to anticipate the ancient players from the Great Xia Kingdom coming from the west in advance, which was obviously related to the East and the West. After all, he was talking about 'reflection', and the function of a mirror is to reflect things.

And next.

Li Re only needs to use this Yata Mirror to see the past of Takama-ga-hara.

All the puzzles will become clear.

But at this moment.

The 'Yata Mirror' floating at the top suddenly flipped over - a ray of light suddenly emerged and shone towards him.

Li Re paused.

He stared at what was reflected in the mirror before him.

He stared blankly at the information that pierced his field of vision.

Watching the Eight-foot Mirror suddenly reflecting the past as if in accordance with Li Re’s thoughts!

[Ghosts and Gods...Dungeon World...Japan...]

[Goal...Seal the primordial fire...Use the rare earths bred by the primordial fire...Fill in the flaws of the dungeon world...and make it a reality...]

Such information is intermittent, but extremely shocking.

The essence of this information surprised Li Re even more.

Japan as part of the real world.

In ancient times, it was only through players' tasks that the defects were completed and the replicas were transformed into reality! ?

Li Re's brain suddenly started buzzing.

...

Boom!

at the same time.

Above the vast sea, there was a sudden strong wind and thunder struck down with a loud bang.

A fishing boat took to the waves.

The young fisherman took a deep breath—his cheeks puffed out, and fish-like gills appeared around his lips.

The power brought by the mysterious profession Mermaid is instantly activated.

He made a move to dive into the water.

next second.

Suddenly the wind cleared.

The young fisherman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.

In just one second, the expression on his face changed from confusion to bewilderment, and then to surprise and horror.
