Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

Most of the scattered small items, as well as the vase that Yuyuko Saigyouji mentioned just now, have been taken away.

What was not taken away were large cabinets, big tables, huge screens and the like.

This kind of thing can make the room look full as a decoration, but in fact there is nothing left after removing the big pieces.

"Come to think of it, you seemed to be doing something very interesting just now... I saw a lot of mushroom people growing over there."

Although it was just the beginning, with options other than being trapped, the souls of those monsters in the Journey to the West had begun to consciously drill into the mushrooms.

Even if they only have instinct left, this instinct will make them have a sense of survival.

A body that can move is the first step to survival, no matter whether that body is a mushroom or a radish.

As a result, not long after the gods and generals arrived, all the mushrooms originally planted on the Westward Journey Demon's side had turned into mushroom people and began to become as active as newborn babies.

"You can't just ignore it. You should know what those are..."

Yuyuko Saigyouji has a deep connection with the souls within the Saigyou monsters, and can even manipulate those spirits to perform certain actions with her hands.

The generals and ministers of the gods did not think that the other party could not tell what was in the mushroom.

"It's clear, but there's always a subtle feeling... Can they still realize that they are human beings like this?"

"It's good enough to have a body for them to move around. If they want to pursue this, they have to wait for future improvements..."

"Yes, I want too much. Compared with being trapped in the body of the Westward Journey Monster, this is not bad."

Although Saigyouji Yuyuko's words were vague, what she wanted to express was actually very clear to the Gods and Generals. It was probably that a healthy soul needs to be housed in a healthy body.

Although it is possible to allow them to move, it would be a shame if they enter the body of a mushroom man every time they come out of the Journey to the West monster.

After many years, the spirits in these Western Journey monsters may one day completely forget the fact that they were once human, and firmly believe that they are mushroom people and not human at all.

But you have to know that this is just the initial version of the modification. It is just a temporary solution now, and there is definitely room for improvement in the future.

It’s still a bit too early to talk about the future now.

In fact, all the gods and generals are not very satisfied with such mushroom people.

Because of the current situation, the countless spirits in the Journey to the West are fighting for control of the mushrooms.

If you grab the one, you can move around as a mushroom man for a while, but if you don’t grab the one, you can only wait, until it’s your turn in the future, at an unknown time.

This is obviously not acceptable and not reasonable.

That's why he was thinking of creating a dream world in the future, something like the Infinite Tsukuyomi, so that those spirits can live normal human lives even without a physical body.

"Hmm...but what you said does make sense. Let's give them a cognitive filter first."

“Cognitive filter?”

The words that she had never heard of before made Saigyouji Yuyuko make a puzzled sound.

"It's to make the mushroom people recognize each other as humans, so that they won't have any doubts about their human identity because of the different appearances."

For all the gods and generals, this operation is quite simple. After a slight adjustment, this function has been implemented.

Chapter 138: The Origin of Gensokyo

“There’s nothing to do…”

After temporarily dealing with the matter of the Journey to the West Demon Ship, all the gods and generals had some free time.

The mushrooms underground are already piled very high, and we won’t be able to eat many even if we plant more.

Ibuki Suika is still in the West and hasn't come back yet. Recently, Yugi has started hibernating like a bear.

The underground monsters that often appeared before the lunar incident, such as the Vortigerns, have become as rare as the wild hammer snakes recently.

You can encounter it, but not often.

As for Fujiwara no Mokou, after humans settled nearby, she began to wander over to the human side every now and then.

Although she said that she didn't care about humans at all, she really liked being with them.

Without the only person they could talk to, the already idle generals and ministers became even more idle.

Although there is also the option of going out to find monsters and conduct fishing enforcement.

But to be honest, after the last wave on the moon, Jieshenjiangchen felt that the energy points that ordinary monsters could provide him were really too few.

Just an occasional big one can make up for the hard work on weekdays.

The only surprise was...

Ever since I met Al Hieda that day and he built a shrine for me, the energy I added started to increase slowly but steadily.

After thinking about it, all the gods and generals felt that this should be something like faith.

That is to say, although he cannot directly absorb human faith like believing in God, his system can convert faith into his added energy.

To be honest, considering the influence of faith on gods, he felt that faith transformed into something with added power was much better than pure faith.

This represents one more thing.

This means that if the gods and ministers are willing, they can try to follow the path of believing in God and compete for the power of faith with the orthodox gods.

Although he was tempted for a moment, he immediately gave up.

The main thing is that he feels troubled when he thinks about it.

This kind of place is relatively safe and sound, and will not involve too many conflicts of interest.

But once you become a world-famous god, all kinds of messy and fancy things will follow.

For example, the sides between gods, the conflicts between believers, doctrines and dogmas, in short, there are many, many trivial matters that need to be dealt with.

Indeed, all the gods and generals can completely ignore this kind of thing and directly use force to extinguish all opposing voices.

But does he really need to go to this extent for the power of faith?

Faith is just faith after all, and what everyone provides him every day is only a tiny bit of it.

When he goes out and kills a monster, he gets the energy equal to the entire monster.

If you want to have energy comparable to that needed to kill an ordinary monster, then it would require the faith of at least tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people for a period of time.

Therefore, the view of all the gods and generals on faith is that there are benefits, but they will never ignore various factors and force themselves to do it. They will just do it casually. The purpose of him gaining extra energy is not this.

After all, if something can be solved by RPG monster-killing mode, don't convert it into a farming mode like a business simulation. He is really not good at that.

Just like the underground cave now, he had originally thought about what to do, but now he has planted a bunch of mushrooms, and his interest has faded after the harvest.

“…………I kind of want to watch TV.”

While doing nothing and being in a daze, the generals and ministers of the gods sighed.

Although many people say that under certain conditions, ancient times were better than modern times.

But for him, the ancient times where people had nothing to do in their free time were obviously inferior to the modern times.

At least in modern times, when he has nothing to do, he can watch TV programs to relax, but in this era he can't go to watch shadow puppet shows.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the clock he got when he traveled through ancient times. That thing seemed to have a recording function.

However, that thing is too troublesome, and the generals and ministers of the gods are not planning to use it at the moment.

"Hey, so when did I meet Youxiang?"

Thinking of the clock, all the gods and generals remembered the fragrance of the clock's owner.

Considering the situation before the time travel, Youxiang was obviously acquainted with him.

But when he thought about the thousand years in between, he lost interest again, thinking that he didn't need to look for her specifically, and that he would get to know her naturally when the time came.

"Ah, wait a minute... If the person in the village is Hieda Al, then that village is Humano-no-Ma? And this area is Gensokyo???"

Afterwards, the general's brain circuit suddenly turned and he realized a very important point.

When he knew that the other person was Al Hieda, he only remembered that he was Hieda who wrote the origin of Gensokyo, and did not think about it further.

Now thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Because the Hieda are a clan living among the people of Gensokyo.

Although they moved here to escape the war, they usually would not move unless something happened.

"From the orbit, the area directly above this is where the Sailing Demon is floating... So this area is Gensokyo, right?"

The general looked up, and based on the connection with the blood that had left his body, he was sure that the Westward Journey Demon Ship should be somewhere high in the sky above his head.

"No, that's not right. It's not that this area is Gensokyo, but that I think this area is Gensokyo, so it must be Gensokyo!"

Gensokyo is dead, but people are alive.

The Gods are not sure how Gensokyo was originally formed.

But as long as he is here, all the elements that make up Gensokyo are here, so all he needs to do is build this area into the Gensokyo in his memory.

After all, Gensokyo is nothing more than a paradise that provides non-human creatures with a place to settle down.

With the current level of the God General, he felt that he was capable of blocking most disasters.

Then the Gensokyo he took the lead in establishing is not only a qualified Gensokyo, but also a more reasonable and safer Gensokyo than the original one.

"That's right, we should plan ahead... Then our current goal is to build this area into a fantasy town."

Now that the goal has been determined, all the gods, generals and ministers instantly became motivated.

It is still a little difficult for him to bring peace to the whole world now, but if he just builds this area into a paradise-like Gensokyo, the chances of success are still quite high.

Because all you need to consider is this three-acre piece of land.

So as the first step, he had to consider how to separate Gensokyo from the real world.

Only as a separate alien world can Gensokyo remain what it is today, without being eroded by the outside world.

Chapter 139: Monster Mountain Eruption

All the generals and ministers had good ideas and began preparations.

But when he was planning where to go to become Gensokyo, a very sudden incident happened.

The direct consequence of this incident was that many foreign monsters appeared near the residence of the gods and generals.

Although these monsters did not dare to approach the log cabin of the God General, when they found that there was a human village nearby and it had not been destroyed, they hid in the vicinity where humans could not see them as if they had found a refuge.

"So...the volcano in the Youkai Mountain where they originally lived erupted, so these youkai came here to take refuge?"

Not only was Kaishinjochen confused about the arrival of these monsters, but Fujiwara no Momoko was also very confused.

She had already become familiar with the humans in the village, so of course she would not sit idly by and watch these outsiders wander around recklessly. After she captured a few Kappas, Tengu and the like and questioned them.

She obtained general intelligence about the matter and reported it to all the gods and generals.

"That should be the case. It sounds like the Monster Mountain is not far from here."

"Is the Monster Mountain going to erupt?..."

All the generals knew about the Monster Mountain, but he didn't remember that there was a volcano on the Monster Mountain.

However, this makes it completely certain that the barnyard fields in the village, the nearby monster mountain, and the demons living underground are indeed the early Gensokyo.

All the gods and generals looked in the direction where the monsters were coming from and found that the sky over there seemed to be a lot darker than usual.

If you don't know, you might think that there are darker clouds in that direction today. If you know, you will realize that it is probably a cloud formed by volcanic ash.

Fortunately, the people living in the Monster Mountain are monsters, not humans.

Otherwise, once the volcano erupts and ash covers our heads, humans will have no way of escaping here in the oxygen-deficient environment.

"But from what I heard from those kappas, this eruption is only temporary. Based on past experience, it will subside in about three months, and then they can return."

"I don't think they'll only stay for three months..."

Fujiwara no Momoko's idea is quite naive, but Kaishin Shoin doesn't think things will be that simple.

He didn't think that the local monsters would make a wrong judgment, but he felt that if a volcano took three months to calm down, there would not be any good ecology left if he returned three months later, especially the trees near the volcano.

Putting aside those monster trees and plants that are contaminated with evil spirits, normal animals and plants have basically no way to survive under the clouds covered by volcanic ash.
