I travel through countless worlds at the same time

You have to know why Sardinia suffered such widespread destruction. It was because two disobedient gods appeared at the same time.

If a single God of Disobedience only destroys, then when two Gods of Disobedience meet, it can be said that they will destroy.

Although the disobedient gods belong to the same category, it is difficult for them to live in peace.

"Ha! Nothing is impossible in this world."

"No, it's Susanoo. The magic world of this country, no, to be more precise, the person behind this country, is one of the three noble sons of Takahara Ten."

Higashino Yuu introduced in a leisurely tone.

Speaking of this, Higashino Yu suddenly thought of another question. It was mentioned in the original book that Susanoo was just a land god in Izumo, but because of the repeated combination of many gods, it obtained the result of most myths.

While using the divine nature that controls storms as a foundation, he also obtained the iron sword of the snake slayer, the Kusanagi sword, which is the key to his transformation into "steel".

If someone does not study history carefully, he may be directly attracted by the "land god" and will not notice the word "Izumo" at all, let alone understand the meaning of these two words in mythology.

However, people like Higashino Yuu who often study mythology know that the place Izumo not only has a special status in mythology but also exists in reality.

The place name "Izumo" comes from Japan's ancient Izumo Province, which was one of Japan's ancient Ritsuryo provinces and was located in the eastern part of present-day Shimane Prefecture, Japan.

Why is Izumo so mysterious?

This is to explain the background of Neon Mythology:

The earliest systematic texts of Neon mythology are the two books "Kojiki" and "Neon Shoki". In the Neon mythology system, "Izumo" has a very special status. Neon mythology can be roughly divided into three major systems: Takamagahara mythology, Izumo mythology, and Hyuga mythology.

Among them, Takama-ga-hara mythology and Hyuga mythology belong to the same system.

Neon mythology was compiled into history books by order of Emperor Tenmu, and folk legends were systematized, so it is different from the fragmentary Dragon Kingdom mythology.

The editor links together the various mythological stories, making them more coherent.

The relationship is as follows: Takama-ga-hara myth → God's grandson's advent myth → Hyuga myth → Human Emperor Era.

What is the Izumo myth? It is a branch line. The specific content is relatively complicated and I will not introduce it here. In general, the forces that were expelled from Takama-ga-hara established other forces in the Izumo area to fight against Takama-ga-hara, but after failing, they were forced to cede the country to Takama-ga-hara.

In the Japanese mythology system, Takamagahara is heaven, Huangquan Country is the underworld, and in between is the human world, namely "Ashihara", which is also the native land of Japan.

650. The Historical Truth of Susanoo

According to Neon Legend, Awahara was originally a region ruled by Omi Takagami, and its earliest territory was Izumo, but later the national god gave Awahara to the god of heaven.

Myths are interesting, but what do they really reflect?

myth.

It can be said to be a reflection of the ancient memory of an ethnic group. In ancient times, humans had limited knowledge of the natural world, but their thirst for knowledge was still strong. They would also use their thinking to understand the world and then pass it on to future generations through stories passed down by word of mouth.

Due to historical limitations, it is easy to attribute many things to gods and monsters. In addition, the lack of written language makes it easy for information to be distorted, so when stories are passed down to later generations, they will gradually become very fantastic. But after clearing away the fog, we can still analyze the original history.

The Tokyo Museum once made an exhibition showing the relationship between Yun and Yamato

Take the Dragon State as an example. The legend of the Yellow Emperor fighting Chiyou, which took shape in the Zhou Dynasty, actually reflects the conflict between the Western Qiang tribe, which originated from the Loess Plateau, and the Dongyi tribe in the eastern coastal area nearly 5000 years ago.

According to the analysis of Japanese historians, the "Izumo Legend" actually reflects the story of the Yamato court (Takamagahara) conquering the ancient Izumo Kingdom (Ashiwara China)!

And before the Yamato was unified, the Izumo civilization was actually a strong rival of the Yamato~!

And Susanoo was just a failed foreign god. Theoretically speaking, a failed land god could never have the height of becoming one of the three noble sons.

But when you look at the modern legend of Susanoo, it’s really amazing.

The story of Susanoo begins with the birth of Neon.

Long, long ago, the universe had just solidified from chaotic mud into heaven and earth. The sky was called "Takamagahara". Two gods, one male and one female, descended from Takamagahara to the earth.

The male is called Izanagi and the female is called Izanami.

They stood on the sky floating bridge and stirred the sea water with spears. The water dripping from the spear tip condensed and formed islands.

Later, Izanagi and Izanami got married there and gave birth to Great Hachishu, which was the earliest Neon.

Izanagi and Izanami went on to give birth to various gods including the gods of the sea, rivers, mountains, rain, wind, and fields.

However, when the last god of fire was born, Izanami was burned to death, and her life went to the underworld. This is the earliest living and the earliest dead in the world.

Izanagi went to the underworld to bring back Izanami, but he could not bring back Izanami, who had already died.

Izanagi warned him not to visit her, but he didn't listen. When he saw her, she was already covered in pus and worms, with a horrible appearance. Izanagi was terrified and fled.

Izanami felt humiliated and chased Izanagi until he escaped from the underworld.

Izanami said that she would kill 1000 people every day to achieve psychological balance. Izanagi said that in this case, he would give birth to 1500 people every day to ensure the survival and development of mankind.

So, from then on, Neon's population began to increase.

After returning from the underworld, Izanagi felt that the underworld was filthy, so he performed a purification ceremony on the beach of Hyuga in Chikushi.

While washing, he gave birth to Amaterasu from his left eye, Tsukuyomi from his right eye, and Susanoo from his nose.

Doesn’t this sound very gorgeous? It basically has nothing to do with the god of land.

but.

"Do you think it is possible that the God of Disobedience came down to the mortal world first, and then changed the mythological history books, gathering the power of different gods in himself to increase his own power?"

Higashino Yuu looked at Athena beside him and couldn't help but ask.

"This……"

Not only Liliana and Erica were shocked to hear what Higashino Yu said, even Athena was shocked.

Mythology and the human world have always been in a debate about whether the chicken or the egg came first.

Mythologists say that the entire world was created by gods, while human civilization, along with modern science, which has continuously deepened our understanding of the world, has concluded that myths came into being before people existed in the world.

But what if there are gods who constantly change myths after coming to the world, in order to become a stronger being?

"But when the gods of disobedience come to the world, don't they just vent their dissatisfaction at will and then choose to return to the myths. How could they possibly change the myths?"

Although they said so, they felt that what Higashino Yu said was very likely the historical truth.

"Under normal circumstances I wouldn't think so, but Neon is one of the few countries that has compiled history books and systematized folk legends through the orders of the superiors. This makes me have to think more about it."

Higashino Yuu looked at the sky with shining eyes. After all, if the other party could really do this, it might have some reference value for his myth.

"It's not impossible. After all, if it's Susanoo, in the legend, he is not only a martial arts hero, but also a cultural hero who is good at using tricks. So what you said is not impossible. After all, the fact that he hasn't returned to mythology yet explains a lot."

Athena lowered her head and fell into deep thought. She felt that she had really broadened her horizons to find someone who could enhance his or her own strength by influencing the world's mythology.

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that when we set foot on this land, we are confronting at least one disobedient god and one country?"

. ........ 0

Liliana and Erica both frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that several people were lost in thought, Higashino Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't think too much. As the saying goes, if an enemy comes, we will stop him with our generals and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. No matter what schemes he uses, as long as I am here, I will have nothing to fear. As for what kind of god Susanoo is, it doesn't matter at all, because he will die in front of me."

Looking at the people who had been kneeling on the ground motionless since just now, Higashino Yu grinned.

Ever since he decided to take action against the Monkey God, the two sides have been in a state of hostility.

after all.

He is one of those who have been trying to prevent the Last King from coming for thousands of years.

At this time, everyone had finished the discussion, and Higashino Yuya walked to the front of the group with a few people.

"Get up!"

As he finished speaking, the people who were originally kneeling on the ground dared to stand up carefully, and then stood there in silence.

then.

"Master Liancheng greets His Majesty."

"Master Saya greets His Majesty."

"The head of Qingqiuyuan greets His Majesty."

"The head of Jiufazhong family greets Your Majesty."

The four family heads standing in front of the crowd looked at Dong Yeyou coming over and bowed hurriedly.

The four old men in black kimonos in front of them were the heads of the four most powerful families in the neon world, and they were also the people with the highest status in the room.

651. The Assassin and His Death

Looking at these excited old men, Higashino You remained calm.

In the original work, these family heads did not show up. They just found a few young men and not only defeated Kusanagi Godou, but also made him run around in circles.

So he asked without saying anything.

"How are you preparing the things I asked you to prepare?"

The sword that weakens "Shiki" and the shrine maiden that weakens Douba, these two things are what Higashino Yu asked them to prepare before he even got off the plane.

Seeing Higashino Yuu's serious gaze, the old men all broke out in sweat.

But still.

"Your Majesty, it's ready."

After he finished speaking, one of the old men waved his hand behind him.

Soon, a cute little girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old and was wearing a shrine maiden's costume was brought to Higashino "180" You with a nervous look on her face.

In her hand, she held a sword that was a little too long for her.

"Although I don't know where the king got the information from, we do have a priestess with the ability of Huoba, and this sword is also a precious sword with the attribute of Huoba that has been worshipped by our Jiufazuka family for generations."

The head of the Jiufazuka family looked at the little girl in front of him and the sword in her hand and said in a bitter tone.

Their family has been guarding the Western Heaven Palace for generations, and one of their important responsibilities is to look after the Monkey God.

But now this responsibility will be discontinued in his generation, and he is the one who hands out the key to lift the seal personally.

It can be said that he now really feels ashamed to face his ancestors in the afterlife.

And right behind him, in the camp where the high-ranking priestesses were.

A beautiful witch looked in the direction of Wanli Gu Guang with a worried look on her face.

She is Hikaru Mariya's older sister, Yuri Mariya.

As someone who had once been recruited by the Marquis of Vauban and had witnessed with her own eyes how terrifying the Demon King was, she was once terrified. Now, when she heard the news of the Demon King's arrival, her heart was filled with fear.

Especially after hearing that her sister was chosen by the Demon King, she even fainted.

The last time, in order to summon the God of Disobedience, Marquis Vauban recruited a large number of witches and wizards from all over the world. The final result was that among all the witches and wizards recruited at that time, only one person survived except her.

They were sisters chatting together just a day ago, but a day later all she saw was a cold body.

That scene still appears in her dreams.

So if possible, she really wanted to replace her sister with herself.

Unfortunately, the official history compilation committee never gave her this opportunity.

At this moment, facing her excited expression, Sayamiya Xin, who was also a rescuer, couldn't help but grab her hand, fearing that she would rush forward and anger the Demon King.

In the original work, when facing Kusanagi Godou of Sassia, Mariya Yuri could still have some willful temper.

However, facing Higashino Yuu, who had been a child prodigy before he became a God Slayer, and who had defeated the Sword King and Marquis Woban after becoming a God Slayer, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Higashino Yuu naturally saw the small commotion in the distance, but he didn't care.

Instead, he glanced at the loli priestess who was pretending to be calm with a slight smile before looking at the other family heads.

"Yes, you did bring everything I asked for, which is good."

Hearing this, several family heads immediately put on an expression of fear and trepidation.

And hurriedly said: "This is what we should do."

"That's right, that's right."

"I wonder if Your Majesty has any other requests. We can all help."
