Chapter 395 The Man Behind the Scenes and Huang Quan's Counterattack
"Yingzhou has no moon god?"
Shen Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and a storm had already been set off in his heart.
In the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda Earth Gate Trial ten thousand years ago, Shen Yuan personally planted the Sun and Moon God Tree to breed the sun and moon. His real purpose was to use the sun and moon bred by this god tree to dominate the order of heaven and earth again.
The Eyes of Dusk noticed that the bred sun and moon would bring threats to him, so he launched a war in advance to fight Shen Yuan and try to destroy the Sun and Moon God Tree.
In order to fight against the Eyes of Dusk, Shen Yuan could only ripen the sun first, and confer the sun as a god to seize the authority of the order of heaven and earth.
After this battle settled the chaos, the sun turned into Amaterasu and ruled Yingzhou from the Kingdom of God, only the moon was still in the process of brooding.
Although Shen Yuan did not personally confer the moon as a god, with the status of Amaterasu as the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Lord of the God System of Yingzhou at that time, he was fully qualified to confer the moon.
Strictly speaking, the sun and moon planted by Shen Yuan at the same time by taking advantage of the order of heaven and earth, even if the status of the moon is not as good as Amaterasu, it is also a superior god under Amaterasu, the master of the pantheon, and even far exceeds the two main gods Izanagi and Izanami.
Such a god is enough to leave a strong and colorful mark in the pantheon of Yingzhou, but Yuzhongjin claimed that there is no moon god in Yingzhou.
If other new gods born in later generations said such words, Shen Yuan would only think that the moon he planted died prematurely and did not survive ten thousand years later.
But Yuzhongjin was enlightened to become a god not long after Amaterasu became a god. He is one of the oldest gods and even has some memories of Amaterasu when she was still conceived.
Such an ancient Yuzhongjin denied the existence of the moon god of Yingzhou, and did not even mention the words of the sacred tree conceiving the moon, which immediately made Shen Yuan realize that something was wrong.
Shen Yuan opened his lips slightly, and was about to ask directly about the whereabouts of the moon conceived by the sacred tree, but the words stopped at his lips.
On the Dharma image of the Great Dao, the mysterious cause and effect told Shen Yuan that if he directly asked about the whereabouts of the moon in this land ruled by the gods of Yingzhou, it would be very likely to attract the perception of some unknown existence.
The next moment, a phantom standing on the dimension leaned over to look at the main hall, and a big hand reached down from the high-dimensional level, easily erasing the question in Yu Zhuanjin's memory.
The short memory gap made Yu Zhuanjin stand still, and only Shen Yuan seemed to speak carelessly and slowly:
"The sacred tree of Takama-ga-hara has nurtured the sun for thousands of years, why hasn't it turned into a god yet?"
Shen Yuan's words made Yu Zhuanjin's body shudder, and he recovered from his brief loss of consciousness.
Looking at Shen Yuan again, Yu Zhuanjin humbly said:
"Amaterasu Omikami also tried to enlighten the spiritual wisdom of the sacred tree and confer the title of God.
But the sacred tree is extraordinary and requires a lot of resources to enlighten the spiritual wisdom. No matter how much natural treasures and incense and faith are provided, the sacred tree can accept them all, but it can never successfully open the spiritual wisdom.
The sacred tree is getting stronger and stronger, and even completely merged with Takama-ga-hara. The difficulty of enlightening the spiritual wisdom has also increased.
Until the end, even Amaterasu Omikami gave up enlightening the sacred tree and let it grow naturally."
Shen Yuan nodded expressionlessly and waved his right hand lightly:
"Retreat!"
Yu Zhuanjin was a little confused, but still respectfully withdrew from Luoyun Temple with a rice ear in his mouth and disappeared among the mountains and forests.
As Yu Zhuanjin left, Shen Yuan's originally calm face suddenly became gloomy.
When Yu Zhuanjin said that Amaterasu enlightened the sacred tree, even she herself did not realize that there was a huge loophole hidden in it.
No one knows the essence of the sacred tree better than Shen Yuan.
The so-called sacred tree is essentially just a tree demon. Shen Yuan wiped out the tree demon's intelligence and borrowed its body to nurture the sun and the moon.
The sacred tree is just a medium connecting heaven and earth, not a noble innate divine object. It is just a thought to enlighten its spiritual wisdom with the status of Amaterasu.
Therefore, Amaterasu does not need to consume a lot of natural treasures and incense to support the sacred tree.
Amaterasu can only have one purpose for doing this, that is, to make up for the congenital malnutrition of the moon and want the moon to be born smoothly.
Someone modified the cognition of the gods and erased the existence of the moon, but could not erase the many information related to the sacred tree, as well as the whereabouts of those natural treasures and incense.
These traceable traces may lead to the exposure of the truth, so the mastermind behind the scenes subtly corrected the cognition of the gods, making the gods mistakenly believe that these resource consumption is to enlighten the spiritual wisdom of the sacred tree.
Gods who don't know about the sacred tree will not doubt its authenticity. Only Shen Yuan, who planted the sun and moon with his own hands, can understand the loopholes.
"Finally. Is it exposed?"
Shen Yuan's eyes gradually became deep, and the eyes of the Dao Dharma image sitting in the high dimension behind him seemed to be able to see through the worlds of Yama and see the truth of cause and effect in the past and the future.
Izanagi's attitude has long shown Shen Yuan that there must be a mastermind behind this Lord of Yingzhou, but Shen Yuan has always been unable to trace the traces.
Now involving the moon of Yingzhou and the modified cognition of the gods, Shen Yuan finally glimpsed some of the truth.
Shen Yuan is not afraid of the powerful strength that the mastermind may have. What really makes him afraid is the secret plan of the mastermind.
Now that he has uncovered its traces, Shen Yuan has already gained some confidence.
As the eyes of the Dao Dharma image fell, countless stars intertwined in Shen Yuan's eyes. The big hand from the high dimension slowly moved the fog of history, and the great magical power of returning wind and returning fire has begun to evolve.
Shen Yuan wanted to trace the cause and effect through time and find the truth behind it.
"No!"
Suddenly, the action of the Great Dao Dharma to clear the fog of history paused, and Shen Yuan's eyes showed some hesitation.
"Behind Izanagi, there must be a high-ranking existence above the fairyland, and it is not ruled out that he has reached the realm of heavenly immortals close to Amaterasu.
Interfering with his cause and effect through time will inevitably cause the other party to sense it, so as to alert the enemy in advance.
At present, the real means of the underworld have not yet been revealed. If the mastermind behind the scenes is rashly provoked, it will add variables to the future."
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan slowly retracted his right hand that was clearing the fog of history.
"Well! The mastermind behind the scenes exposed in front of us has lost its real threat."
"Next, just wait for the opportunity."
With the resumption of the way of practice and the gradual control of the Amaterasu priestesses in the world, the fortune of humanity has begun to grow rapidly, and the major cities outside Heian-kyo have begun to gradually restore the proper production order.
The gods of Takama-ga-hara are arguing endlessly. As the influence of the gods' faith gradually weakens, the fortune of Shintoism begins to decline.
As the human destiny flourished, most people had gradually begun to forget the threat posed by the increasingly rare Huangquan ghosts.
No one knew that in Huangquan Biliangzaka, countless Huangquan ghosts were staring at the source of the Huangquan tributary, the border between reality and illusion.
There, a majestic statue crossed the boundary between reality and illusion and stretched out most of its body towards Huangquan Biliangzaka.
The incomparable terrifying aura continued to settle on this statue, and the Huangquan Biliangzaka sky was torn apart by the powerful pressure, and hundreds of millions of ghosts and gods trembled under the statue.
This statue was the judge of life and death who came across the border and descended into Huangquan Biliangzaka.
The majestic eyes slowly opened, and the voice of the judge of life and death echoed like a bell in Huangquan Biliangzaka.
"Not enough!"
Below the Judge of Life and Death, a ghost fairy who relied on the Yellow Spring tributary to maintain his realm trembled and said:
"Report to the Judge, the frequency of the Yellow Spring tributary projection has greatly decreased in the past few months, and it can no longer support the Yellow Spring battlefield. This is the limit of what we can do."
The Judge of Life and Death looked at the lower body that still could not break free from the boundary between reality and illusion, and said in a cold voice:
"You only need to capture ten cities with a million people and let the Yellow Spring projection erode the area, so that I can completely descend.
No matter what method you use, it must be completed within seven days!"
The ghost fairy was horrified: "Drop the Yellow Spring on a large scale, The projection of the Yellow Spring tributary may attract that big sun. "
The Judge of Life and Death laughed coldly: "How can such a big sun magic be easily displayed?
Don't worry, part of my body has already descended, even if there is another big sun appearing in the world, I can easily suppress it.
Seven days is not only my order, but also the decree of all the Yamas, don't make mistakes! "
"After seven days, I will control the Yellow Spring tributary to destroy Takama-ga-hara and devour all life in the world!"
The ghost fairy gritted his teeth and responded in a deep voice:
"The little fairy obeys the decree!"
The ghost fairy stood up from the Yellow Spring tributary and looked at the billions of ghosts and gods in the entire Yellow Spring Hirasaka.
"The decree of all the Yamas has been passed down, open the projection of the Yellow Spring tributary, drag the present world into the Yellow Spring, and welcome the arrival of the Judge of Life and Death!"
After the voice fell, countless ghosts and gods cried out in shock, resounding throughout the Yellow Spring Hirasaka.
"Sacrifice the living! Sacrifice the living!"
"Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!"
"Go to Yantai to recruit old subordinates, and slay gods and demons with 100,000 flags!"
The Yellow Springs tributaries also set off a storm at this moment, and the dark clouds covered the entire Yingzhou land in an instant. The Yellow Springs tributaries that had been hidden for months finally reappeared in the world.
Outside Heian-kyo, the ghost gates of several ghost towns opened wide, and millions of Yellow Springs ghosts came out of the ghost towns and poured into Heian-kyo.
The gods of Takama-hara had already noticed the movement of the ghost town, and one god after another descended to protect the surroundings of Heian-kyo.
On Takama-hara, the gods looked at the countless Yellow Springs ghosts with a bit of relief in their eyes.
Jianyu Raijin said bluntly: "There are only millions of low-level ghosts and six refined ghosts. Do you think you can attack Heian-kyō with such a force?"
For these great gods, no matter how many low-level ghosts there are, it will be useless. Only high-level ghosts and even ghost immortals can really decide the battlefield.
As long as the ghosts and gods in the Hedao realm do not come out, Heian-kyō will be safe.
Another god looked at the land outside Heian-kyo with a sharp gaze, and said with a slightly ugly look:
"Heian-kyo is just a cover. Outside Heian-kyo, I saw hundreds of projections of the Yellow Spring tributaries, and even multiple projections of the Yellow Spring appeared in some areas.
A large number of ghosts are gathering to attack those cities."
Takemikaze sneered: "What does this have to do with us?"
Kagutsuchi also echoed: "A group of ant-like things, since they chose to betray the gods, their life and death do not need to be cared about."
"Only after experiencing blood and life and death threats will they realize how precious the favor of the gods is."
The gods were silent, as if they acquiesced to the decision of Takemikaze and Kagutsuchi.
In Nara City, the alarm bells had already spread throughout the city, and a large number of practitioners went to the city wall defense line they built.
Dozens of miles away from the city gate, two projections of the Yellow Spring tributaries almost surrounded Nara City.
A large number of ghosts from the underworld came out one after another, densely occupying the entire land, and slowly advancing towards Nara City.
"One, two, three! There are too many ghost kings!"
"Open the protective barrier and notify all the major shrines! Notify the chief priestess!"
"It's over. The priests of the major shrines said that they can't communicate with the gods. Without the favor of the gods, they can't fight against the Yellow Spring Ghost King."
"How could this happen?"
A series of noisy voices rang out on the city wall, and the practitioners listened to the bad news with horror.
On the Yellow Spring ghost battlefield, relying on the power of the gods is almost the only way to counter the Yellow Spring Ghost King. If the Yellow Spring Ghost King cannot be checked, even the most perfect defense line will collapse in front of the Ghost King.
The morale on the city wall plummeted, and even the bravest practitioners panicked at this moment.
A Yellow Spring Ghost King seemed to have noticed the abnormality in the city, and showed his figure and rushed into the city wall, wanting to start a massacre.
Neither the magic of the Yin-Yang master nor the swordsman's swordsmanship could hurt this ghost king in the slightest. The gap in realm was widened to the limit at this moment.
The next moment, a sharp shout rang out from the city.
"Get out!"
The sword light carried the will of the scorching sun and slashed down, tearing off one of the ghost king's arms in an instant.
The ghost king wanted to flee in fear, but he didn't know when the sky was already full of talismans blocking the space here, and the Yin-Yang fire fell and burned the ghost king to ashes.
An old warrior and an Yin-Yang master wearing a feather cloth appeared on the city wall. The two were the sword saint Fujimoto and the great Yin-Yang master Haruhara. At this moment, the two of them showed the aura of the realm of refining the spirit.
And behind them, there were several powerful soul refiners with floating auras rushing to the battlefield.
These practitioners had reached the peak of the spirit without the method of refining the spirit, and they were originally people with extraordinary talents.
Now that they have obtained the method of refining the spirit, it is completely natural to break through the realm of refining the spirit.
Originally, among the priests and priestesses who were in charge of the major cities, there was often only one who could borrow the power of the gods and exert the strength of the realm of refining the spirit.
But these priests and priestesses are at best equivalent to two or three spirit-refining ghost kings. Their greatest role is to resist the attacks of ghost kings with the help of other practitioners.
Although they have lost the help of the gods, they have gained more spirit-refining masters, and their role in the battlefield is far greater than before.
Such things not only happened in Nara City, but the spirit-refining method has been promoted for several months, and there are treasures drawn by Shen Yuan himself to help comprehend the spirit-refining, so that the Yingzhou land with hundreds of millions of people has more than a hundred spirit-refining masters.
These spirit-refining masters are stationed in major cities, and the three gods of Leopard Tail and Black and White Impermanence can tear through space and send down support at any time, which miraculously resisted the first wave of attacks from the Yellow Spring ghosts. (End of this chapter)
