Chapter 391 God Above Gods

The abnormal movement of the sacred tree on Takama-hara did not seem to affect Heian-kyo.

Although located in the same world, Takama-hara where the gods live and Heian-kyo below are almost two completely different worlds.

Time is constantly passing in this divided world. As time goes by, the aftermath of the war in Luliang City begins to ferment gradually.

The giant hand that stretched out from the space channel to suppress the Huangquan projection appeared on the battlefield of hundreds of Huangquan tributary projections at the same time.

The unparalleled power continued to spread among the people.

The people of Yingzhou were surprised to find that the Huangquan tributary projections that were originally spread all over Yingzhou had lost most of their traces after that war.

You should know that the Yingzhou God System had also killed Huangquan tributary projections, but cutting off a tributary projection could only temporarily hinder the invasion of Huangquan ghosts. It won’t take long for new Huangquan tributary projections to fall.

Those Huangquan ghosts seem to be endless and endless, which is the most terrifying thing about Huangquan ghosts.

This time, the giant hand that cut off the projection of the Yellow Spring tributary actually reduced the frequency of the projection of the Yellow Spring tributary.

Without the large-scale projection of the Yellow Spring tributary, the way for the Yellow Spring ghosts to invade the world has become increasingly difficult. Often, only a small number of ghosts can be supported for several days, and it is difficult to have a substantial impact on the major cities guarding the Yellow Spring ghosts.

This news made Yingzhou ecstatic, and many Yingzhou people believed that this was the dawn of completely pacifying the Yellow Spring disaster.

Among the information that excited the whole country of Yingzhou, there were also some rumors about the father of the gods that spread from the Luliang area.

However, as soon as this news began to spread, the major shrines would quickly lock in the person who spread it and eliminate the influence of the rumors about the father of the gods from the source.

Lacking an accurate source of information, many people, based on past experience, put all the credit for the whole thing on the gods of Takama-ga-hara.

Especially the main god Izanagi, who had just taken office and replaced Amaterasu to take charge of Takama-ga-hara, was regarded as the creator of this great victory.

The reason for this idea is very simple. In the past few years when Amaterasu controlled Takamagahara, even though she was the lord of Shinto, she could only struggle to support the invasion of the gods and ghosts of Yingzhou.

Izanagi had only been in power for three years, and he was able to create a miraculous victory, which was enough to show how strong Izanagi was.

For a while, countless people in Yingzhou built shrines for Izanagi and worshipped him as the highest god.

As the influence expanded, some absurd legends were even spread among the people of Yingzhou.

Some people claimed that Izanagi and Izanami gave birth to many great gods, and they could be called the father and mother of the gods of Yingzhou.

Some people believed that Izanagi had the ability to lead the gods to repel the ghosts of the underworld, and he should be the real lord of Takamagahara.

Some even claimed that all gods were born from Izanagi and Izanami, and even the highly respected Amaterasu was born by Izanami. It was Izanagi who took the initiative to give in, so Amaterasu could become the lord of Takama-ga-hara.

There are countless such absurd claims, but with Izanagi's unprecedented prestige, it has been recognized by many people.

Some devout Amaterasu believers wanted to go to the Amaterasu Grand Shrine to find the Amaterasu shrine maiden to preside over justice, but found that the Amaterasu Grand Shrine in most cities had long lost the trace of the shrine maiden.

At the same time, in Heian-kyō, an abandoned shrine in the mountains and forests was demolished and replaced by a Taoist temple.

Its name is: Luoyun Temple!

In Luoyun Temple, Noro Mai, wearing a light gray Taoist robe, finished her morning class today and walked in the corridor of the Taoist temple.

Around her, there were many Kundao who were dressed like her, and shrine maidens wearing red and white shrine maiden costumes.

These Kundao and Miko are actually the Miko of Amaterasu Grand Shrine sent by Ise Shrine to various places in Yingzhou.

A few months ago, Shen Yuan claimed to teach her how to control everything in a human way.

On that night alone, a Luoyun Temple rose from the ground on the barren mountain.

Shen Yuan stayed in the temple and did not care about worldly affairs. He began to teach Noro Mai the way of cultivation.

Although Yingzhou also has the way of cultivation, whether it is Yin Yang Master or Samurai, they are all the real people in the realm of refining spirits, which belongs to the way of cultivation with a very low upper limit.

But after Noro Mai came into contact with the way of cultivation taught by Shen Yuan, she was shocked to find that this way of cultivation was so perfect, as if it was the will of heaven and earth.

In this way of cultivation, one can clearly see the path above the transformation of spirits, and even becoming a great god or even a master god-level strongman is no longer a luxury.

At this moment, Noro Mai really understood what Shen Yuan meant by controlling everything in a human way.

The gods were able to dominate Yingzhou and use humans as tools to exploit their faith because they had powerful strength that mortals could not defy.

If humans had equal or even greater power than the gods, could they regard the gods as tools to influence the world?

Mai Noro was shocked by this idea. Although the lofty image of the gods she had created over the past twenty years had collapsed because of what happened that day, she still retained her faith in Amaterasu in her heart.

As a priestess of Amaterasu, she could hardly accept this possibility.

Until Shen Yuan's plain words woke her up completely.

"You overestimate the importance of your beliefs to Amaterasu. Amaterasu is an innate god, the lord of heaven and earth who is enshrined by the origin of Shinto and recognized by Yingzhou Heaven and Earth.

She does not need your faith, so she has never interfered with your faith, nor has she regarded you as a tool to squeeze your faith.

If you can control your destiny with your own power and feed back this world, it will be more valuable to her than mixed beliefs. "

Realizing this, Noro Mai finally chose to give up her faith and devote herself to spiritual practice.

In addition, Noro Mai also realized that Izanagi's wolf ambition could no longer be concealed, and the remaining Amaterasu shrine maidens were likely to suffer Izanagi's liquidation.

So Noro Mai used the shrine media to contact all the shrine maidens of Amaterasu Grand Shrine, explained the pros and cons to them, and invited them to come to Rokuunkan to practice.

This approach was naturally rejected by the vast majority of the witches of Amaterasu Grand Shrine, and some even regarded her as a heretic who betrayed the gods.

But as time went by, some Amaterasu Shrine witches disappeared mysteriously, and some were tried by the Yingzhou government for ridiculous reasons. After losing the power given by the gods, these Amaterasu witches finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

They began to gather in Luo Yun Temple, and some of them began to try to practice under the persuasion of Noro Mai, while others still regarded themselves as Amaterasu shrine maidens, quietly waiting for Amaterasu to wake up and clean up the rebellious god.

It is precisely because of this that Luoyun Temple maintains the appearance of half witch and half monk.

What happened in the past few months flashed through her mind. Noro Mai felt the mana flowing in her body and suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind.

After practicing for several months, Noro Mai has successfully entered the realm of Qi training with the help of the concentration of spiritual energy after the resurrection of heaven and earth and the teachings of Shen Yuan.

Such a speed is simply unimaginable by Yingzhou's original cultivation system.

The spiritual energy tide has been going on for ten years. Most of the practitioners who followed the original practice system in Yingzhou have not yet reached the state of Qi training, and there are even fewer practitioners who can step into the state of spiritual transformation.

Although the magic power in this Qi training realm is far inferior to the power that Amaterasu once mastered, these magic powers are not given by the gods, nor will they be taken away by the gods. This is a power that belongs entirely to oneself.

Noro Mai felt more and more excited about the prospect of spiritual practice.

After passing through the corridor, Noro Mai was about to return to her room to continue practicing, but the figure that appeared in front of her stopped her in her tracks.

In the courtyard in front, Shen Yuan stood under a tree and looked at the prosperous Ping An Capital City in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking in his eyes.

Noro Mai immediately felt a sense of surprise in her heart.

Although Shen Yuan taught her the method of cultivation, it was only in the first few days after the establishment of Luoyun Temple.

After teaching the basic practice, Shen Yuan left Luoyun Temple, leaving only the two gods Bai Zhao and Black and White Wuchang to teach everyone how to practice.

For example, Bai Zhao is responsible for the daily morning classes.

Although this reincarnation of the Demon Saint did not have a deep study of human skills, it was still easy to guide the cultivation of low-level monks under the God of Refining.

This also resulted in Noro Mai never seeing Shen Yuan after that.

Noro Mai was extremely happy to see Shen Yuan again today.

Stepping under the big tree, Noro Mai whispered to Shen Yuan:

"Ma Yi pays homage to His Excellency Supreme Daozi!"

During the days when Shen Yuan left, Noro Mai learned about the reputation of Supreme Taoist Master from Bai Zhao.

Out of respect and uncertainty in her heart, she no longer called Shen Yuan the father of the gods, but instead called him the supreme Taoist son.

Shen Yuan turned to look at Noro Mai. The Qi Refining Realm's cultivation fell into Shen Yuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but show some admiration.

"good!"

Shen Yuan commented.

Noro Mai naturally knew what Shen Yuan meant, and replied with determination:

"Thank you, Lord Daozi, for the compliment, but it's not enough!"

"The gods do not become powerful overnight. Mai still needs to work hard to control human beings' own destiny."

Shen Yuan shook his head lightly.

"The great gods and main gods you see are all ancient beings who have been practicing for thousands of years.

It is impossible to surpass them in cultivation in a short time. "

The excitement on Noro Mai's face suddenly stopped, but she heard Shen Yuan continue:

"What's more, you are only in the realm of Qi training now, and in this Luoyun Temple, the gods will not regard you as a threat.

But if one day I leave and your cultivation reaches the realm of god refining, they will definitely regard you as the biggest threat and will kill you at all costs to cut off the inheritance of cultivation. "

Noro Mai's eyes flashed with confusion and helplessness. She had never thought about what Shen Yuan said these days.

She instinctively believed that Shen Yuan would continue to help them until the human race could truly get rid of the captivity of the gods.

But after all, Shen Yuan is not from Yingzhou. Being able to help Yingzhou quell the chaos in Huangquan is already a great blessing. How dare you expect Shen Yuan to stay and protect the human race?

Although she knew that Shen Yuan had helped enough, in the face of the danger involving the human race, Noro Mai could not help but ask:

"Then what should we do?"

Shen Yuan smiled calmly:

"I said, I will teach you to control everything in a human way, and the practice system is only part of it."

"In the distant Daxia, the blessed land of caves and heavens, the four dragon palaces, and the major divine systems have the most powerful practitioners, but they are not the masters of that vast land.

The dynasty that truly controls the human race is the dynasty that controls the destiny of humanity!"

"The human race is the creature favored by heaven and earth. When the human race gathers together, destiny will be bestowed upon them.

And those who can gather destiny and use it for their own benefit, and protect the human race against foreign enemies, are the dynasties of humanity."

Noro Mai subconsciously asked: "What about the Yingzhou royal family?"

"It's just a puppet controlled by the gods, so what qualifications do they have to be called the emperor?"

"Daozi means that you want us Yingzhou to join the Daxia Dynasty, so as to use the destiny of humanity to fight against the gods?"

Shen Yuan shook his head slightly.

"Daxia is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Yingzhou. If there is no means to open up a space channel, it will take a very long time to cross the sea.

What's more, there are countless monsters and evil gods in the outer sea. The risk of crossing the sea is not low. Even if Daxia has the strength, it is out of reach."

Noro Mai seemed to understand something, and bowed solemnly to Shen Yuan:

"Please teach me, Daozi!"

Shen Yuan smiled with relief.

"The method of cultivation can strengthen oneself, which is only the first step to control destiny.

And gathering the luck of humanity to protect the race from foreign enemies is the real key."

"The Human Emperor is the only one in the world, but the Human Dynasty has long been spread across the heavens.

The core of the Human Dynasty is not the Human Emperor, but the word humanity.

As long as you can unify the people, the luck of humanity that the people want can also compete with the gods!"

As soon as the voice fell, the world seemed to feel something, and a thunder with a magnificent power tore through the sky and fell towards Shen Yuan.

All the gods born in this world from ancient times to the present are deposited in the thunder. Their wills move the world, and the thunder roars with the thunder.

They have ruled this world for thousands of years. The Shinto dominates everything here, and the human way is just a vassal.

The will of the Shinto will not allow the human way to rise, and this heavenly punishment is the proof of it.

"Mister Daozi!"

A cry came from Noro Mai's mouth. She tried to stop the thunder that fell, but how could a mere Qi cultivator stop the lightning so fast?

She could only watch the thunder that seemed like the wrath of the gods fall on the defenseless Shen Yuan, and the avenue seemed to tremble at this moment.

When the thunder that gathered the will of the Shinto touched Shen Yuan's body, the roar in the thunder suddenly turned into a wailing sound, and the terrifying thunder disappeared in an instant.

In a trance, Noro Mai seemed to see the will of the Shinto of Yingzhou, which symbolized the eternal life of Yingzhou, prostrating itself at the feet of Shen Yuan.

He just stood there, like a god among gods!
