Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

If the God of All Gods now says that he wants to make all the people in Gensokyo live forever, then no matter how serious he said it before, it is just his personal assumption.

Everyone chose their own final words, and she understood what the gods and generals had said before.

The key is not immortality, but the fear of death of living things.

Only by eliminating the fear of death can ordinary people live in peace.

But this sounds like a rather twisted logic. At least it took Othinus several twists and turns to understand the logic of the gods and their ministers.

"After you make all the people in Gensokyo immortal, will you extend this model to the outside world? The situation outside is very different from here."

After understanding the logic of the gods and generals, Othinus' mind turned and she immediately thought of the things she cared about.

If all the gods and generals want ordinary people to not die, to be able to make free choices and feel happy.

Well, compared to the population of Gensokyo which is only in the four or five digits, the outside world is the real key.

If Kaishin-sho-san only pursues his immortality in his fantasy town, theoretically it should be possible and it should last for quite a long time.

Compared to the entire Gensokyo population, which is not large, monsters still make up the majority.

Even if the humans here have gained a long lifespan, just look at the monsters around who have lived for who knows how many years but still live the same way every day, their daily lives will probably not change much.

Because they are used to it. They have lived in Gensokyo for a long time and are used to seeing what those immortal monsters are like.

So I don’t have too many thoughts just because I have become immortal, because there are so many immortals in the entire Gensokyo.

But the outside world is different. It is different from Gensokyo where monsters, fairies, ghosts, and other messy things are running around the streets every other day.

Ever since the Genji held the emperor hostage to control the feudal lords and established the shogunate, there have been fewer monsters and demons visible to the naked eye in large human settlements.

Except for small villages in the wilderness, most ordinary people living in urban areas may have seen a monster from birth to death.

Even though you may hear records about monsters in various stories and rumors.

However, there are very few ordinary people who can see monsters in real life.

After all, since the shogunate era, the whole of Japan has entered a period of settled and stable development.

The status of Onmyoji is not as honorable as it was in the Emperor era, and it was common for them to follow the samurai to eliminate demons in the early days.

This results in monsters not appearing so blatantly. Monsters that attract attention can be easily defeated, and even if they are powerful, they will still get into a lot of trouble.

"The outside world?"

Therefore, when Othinus mentioned the outside world, all the gods and generals were actually stunned for a moment.

Because he had never really thought about this problem. After all, he hadn't finished his work in Gensokyo, and it was a bit far-fetched to consider the outside world.

However, since Othinus brought it up, all the gods and generals began to think about it seriously.

"No, at least not now... If the humans in the outside world were to achieve immortality with the current wisdom, it would definitely not be a good thing."

After thinking about the era in which the outside world was living for a while, the brows of all the gods and generals began to frown.

It is different from the self-contained ecosystem in Gensokyo.

In the outside world, Japan was still in the Warring States Period, with wars happening year after year. Not only were the common people illiterate, but for them, becoming a foot soldier and fighting in the war was enough to risk their lives just to have a full meal.

Thinking about the future and what you want to do is even more unrealistic.

For them, the most important thing is whether there is rice in the pot tonight.

If ordinary people like this gained immortality, the whole of Japan would be in chaos.

The situation in foreign countries is not much better. We are now in the late Renaissance and the Reformation movement is in full swing.

Regional wars have never stopped, and religious struggles are at a fever pitch.

For religious fanatics, trying to change their behavior with words is powerless and meaningless.

They will turn anything into a religious interpretation that they can accept.

"That's good... However, if you find that Gensokyo is in chaos one day, you have to make a decision early."

Othinus regarded what the gods and generals were about to do as a large-scale experiment.

Experiments are often necessary in the study of magic.

But compared to ordinary magic experiments, what the generals of the gods did involved many ordinary humans and beings related to those humans.

After talking for so long, there is no need to discuss right or wrong anymore.

What Othinus was worried about was that when the gods and generals were running this fantasy land of immortality for a certain period of time, he might find that the humans in the fantasy land were no longer what he imagined.

After all, time is the greatest and most ruthless thing in the world.

After being washed away by the long years, it is hard to say whether the current humans in Gensokyo can maintain their original appearance.

Since the gods and their ministers have given them the choice, once the choice deviates from their original intentions, it will become something wrong after a long time.

Othinus hoped that by then all the gods and generals would still be able to make the correct judgment.

"That's not the case. The monsters have lived for so many years and they are doing just fine."

"But monsters are born different, and we are also different because we become like this through rituals, magic, training, etc. We have our own will. You may mention some lucky people who accidentally gained immortality... But even in the story, those truly ordinary people, I mean truly ordinary and ordinary people, such people may not develop as you expect."

"…………Let time take care of everything."

The general of the gods did not say anything about this, for he knew that Othinus was not attacking without reason.

Chapter 313: Feathered Fox Returns

"I am Oda Nobunaga! The one who conquered the world!!!"

While Kaishin was pushing forward the affairs of Gensokyo, in the outside world, Oda Nobunaga, the sixth-day demon king who was already feared by everyone, had officially led his army to capture Kyoto.

The nearby daimyo who revolted, such as Miyoshi, Asai, and Asakura, had also been defeated one after another and became defeated generals of Oda Nobunaga.

The key is the two daimyo, Takeda and Tokugawa, who were on the way forward for Oda Nobunaga.

The territories of these two were not small, and they were originally thought to be strong enough to compete for the world. However, after actually coming into contact with Oda Nobunaga's army, they were defeated and retreated all the way to the Nagao area.

Nagao is the territory of the Uesugi family, and it would never allow these losers to stay there.

However, Oda Nobunaga's arrogance has been eliminated, and now he has formed an unstoppable trend for victory.

At this time, the head of the Uesugi family, Uesugi Kenshin, temporarily gave up the past grudges and formed an alliance with Takeda Shingen, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others with whom he had once fought.

However, although it was an alliance, because the territories of these two people had been seized by Oda Nobunaga, the actual leader was only Uesugi Kenshin.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga, who had seized many territories, could be said to have already held half of Japan in his hands.

Most people believed that Oda Nobunaga had a great chance of becoming the next shogun.

However, it was obviously impossible for those who formed the alliance to be easily crushed by Oda Nobunaga after he stabilized.

"I have already got some information. I heard that Oda Nobunaga will come to Honnoji Temple tomorrow. This should be our last chance."

Because it was a conspiracy, many daimyos who were originally high-ranking officials hid in a remote mansion around Kyoto.

The mansion, and the houses surrounding it, were filled with the last of their soldiers.

If this attack fails, they will never have the chance to succeed again, and Oda Nobunaga will never give them a chance.

"That is a monster. The eyes on Oda Nobunaga's forehead are too evil. He actually dared to rush into my army alone and kill my generals. Otherwise, my army would not have been defeated so quickly."

"What's the point of talking about the whole thing now? Since he dared to charge alone, your army only needs to take him down alone, and there wouldn't be any problems today."

"You're still talking about me. Your situation wasn't the same back then."

"That's enough. We are all losers now. What else is there to argue about?"

Hearing the noisy sounds in the hall, Takeda Shingen shouted loudly to stop the noise of those fallen daimyo.

However, since the territories of these daimyo have been lost, perhaps it is no longer possible to call them daimyo. They can only be described as exiled bandits with some soldiers.

However, it was precisely because they still had soldiers under their command that they were able to join this secret talk instead of becoming bandits occupying a certain hill.

"Even Lord Shingen has been defeated. Is it really possible for us to win if we gather here now? Why don't we all disperse and find some remote hills? That way, the Sixth Heaven Demon King won't have too much energy to hunt us down."

In the past, Takeda Shingen was highly trusted because of his vast territory and superb military power, but after his defeat by Oda Nobunaga, his prestige also plummeted.

Let it go. Now this person doesn't even have the courage to speak, but now he is able to speak nonsense in a meeting like this.

Because they are all the same, they are just losers.

"Xiao Zhi, if you really hide, do you really think that Oda Nobunaga will let you escape? He didn't come to us now, but he just wants to stabilize the situation and establish himself as king. When he stabilizes the situation, do you think he will come to you?"

"Tsk!"

"Damn Oda."

Although Takeda Shingen mocked everyone, no one directly refuted him.

Because these people also know that they have no time to take care of them now, and once the situation stabilizes, Oda Nobunaga will indeed take action. They gathered here because they are worried about this.

Even if there is no crusade, being the king of the mountain is not a good job. Not only do they not have a stable source of food, they also have no power to suppress the people under them.

If their soldiers were able to follow them here, it was because they were so-called 'daimyo' not long ago, and their prestige as daimyo still remained in the hearts of others.

But as time goes by, this past reputation will gradually become invalid.

Once the people below realize that these daimyo are no longer the same daimyo as before, they will lose their awe.

The consequence of hiding in the mountains might be that they would be overthrown by their loyal subordinates.

"So what do you have in mind, Lord Shingen? Do you want us to have all our soldiers fight to the death in Honnoji?"

"A fight to the death may be the last resort, Lord Shingen. You probably had this in mind when you asked us to gather here."

"Do you really think that our soldiers can kill Oda Nobunaga in Honnoji?"

Looking at the daimyos around him who were clamoring and thinking they could use human wave tactics to kill Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen shook his head.

In other words, anyone who has seen Oda Nobunaga's performance on the battlefield has little interest in it.

Those who actually spoke out were the daimyo who were in the rear, had no idea of ​​the situation, and had received the news of defeat without knowing why, so they had to flee.

"The real key to Oda Nobunaga lies in the eye on his forehead that he got from a monster. He defeated us with the monster's eye."

"Everyone knows about this, but what can we do? The eye is on his forehead, so any attack will be seen through by him. How can we dig out his eye?"

"So, you are mistaken. The key is not Oda Nobunaga's eye, but the fact that Oda Nobunaga got help from monsters."

"Hmm? Lord Shingen, is that what you mean?"

There was something behind Takeda Shingen's words. After listening for a while, the others suddenly realized something and looked at each other in disbelief.

"That's right, the power of monsters must be punished by monsters! Only in this way can we achieve victory."

As he was speaking, a gust of cold wind came from behind Takeda Shingen, and everyone present felt a chill.

In the blink of an eye, everyone discovered that, at some point, a strange, charming woman with a smile on her face appeared beside Takeda Shingen.

Although the opponent looked weak, everyone sensed a strange sense of danger from him, and their instinct was reminding them not to act rashly.

"Xin, Xinxuan Gong, this is......"

"My name is Yuyuko. I heard about your difficulties and asked Lord Shingen to help you conquer the world."

The woman who called herself Yuyuko stood up from behind Takeda Shingen with a smile on her face. Her fox-like vertical pupils swept around her, causing everyone to fall silent instantly.

Chapter 314 Honnoji Temple

"Lord Nobunaga, you have too few guards with you recently."

"Oh? Do you think anything will happen to me? Will anything happen to me, Oda Nobunaga?"

Inside the original location of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Niwa Nagahide began to persuade Oda Nobunaga, apparently thinking that after conquering Kyoto, there were too few people to protect Oda Nobunaga when he traveled.

"Nagahide, this is Lord Nobunaga, the man of destiny who can stand unscathed amidst thousands of troops. Those chickens and dogs are no match for Lord Nobunaga."

On the other hand, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was standing on the other side, did not think that Oda Nobunaga needed any guards at all given his military power.

"That's true, but the recent movements of the rebels are really worrying. Scouts have found traces of the rebels moving in the suburbs."

"It's just a defeat. It's okay. Nagahide, you should trust me more like Mitsuhide."

"but…………"

Niwa Nagahide wanted to say something, but Oda Nobunaga, who was full of confidence in himself, had already strode away, so his words were stuck in his throat.

However, even if he said it, given the current situation, Oda Nobunaga probably wouldn't listen.
