Chapter 404 True History
"Wushang Daozi? Why are you here?"
Izanami's expression was filled with astonishment.
Not only Izanami, but also the three demon kings were full of disbelief at this moment.
They have been guarding this place since Amaterasu returned to the sacred tree.
Even because the barrier set by Amaterasu resists all living things, they can only abandon their demon bodies and host their true spirits in the medium.
But they, who were guarding here day and night, had no idea how Shen Yuan came to Amaterasu Shrine.
Shen Yuan looked down at Izanami with the same smile and said lightly:
"The reason is simple, because this is my home."
"Your home?"
Izanami's face was full of doubts, and the nine-tailed demon fox at the bottom of the steps seemed to suddenly remember something. His pupils suddenly shrank, and his face showed an unprecedented gaffe.
"Is it, is it you?"
Shen Yuan's eyes fell on the nine-tailed demon fox and nodded approvingly.
"The little fox still has vision, but tens of thousands of years have passed, and his cultivation has not improved much."
Shuten Doji said in an urgent voice: "Tamamo-mae, do you know him? Who is he?"
Tamamo-mae hurriedly lowered her head, her body trembling and not daring to look directly into Shen Yuan's eyes.
Faced with Shuten Doji's doubts, he only responded intermittently:
"Ten thousand years ago, a sacred tree was planted during the battle between demons and demons!"
Shuten Doji and the Daitengu were both stunned for a moment, and then looked horrified.
With just a slight reminder, the scene of Shen Yuan's fight with them thousands of years ago immediately emerged in their memories.
The qi-training monk from ten thousand years ago was exactly the same as the Shen Yuan in front of him now.
Although Shen Yuan's cultivation at that time was low, he was able to leverage the general trend of the world with his own strength and rewrite the future direction of Yingzhou.
Especially the battle with the Eye of Dusk, in which he finally sealed Amaterasu with supreme power and created the Lord of Gao Tianyuan who would rule Yingzhou for ten thousand years.
In the hearts of the three demon kings, Shen Yuan was even more awed than Amaterasu.
However, Shen Yuan has not appeared in the world for thousands of years, and few people in Yingzhou know of Shen Yuan's existence.
But now in the Amaterasu Shrine, Shen Yuan appeared again. After the initial shock, the faces of the three demon kings immediately showed a look of ecstasy.
"Welcome back!"
"As great as you are, you will definitely be able to suppress this disaster in Yingzhou!"
"The person behind the scenes is Izanami, please kill her!"
Izanami was completely stunned by the change in attitude of the three demon kings.
She glanced at the wooden house that Shen Yuan walked out of and the words spoken by the three demon kings, and the doubt in her eyes gradually turned into fear.
"Are you really the father of the gods who planted the Sun and Moon Sacred Tree and consecrated Amaterasu to the Grand Royal God?"
Above the dome, the few remaining green branches slowly hung down from the sky, lingering around Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan did not respond, but the attitude shown by the sacred tree had already told Izanami the truth.
At this moment, Izanami finally understood why the Susano'o she gave birth to could not sit on the throne of the sacred tree and inherit the authority of Takamagahara.
What Susanoo has, to put it bluntly, is the right of inheritance second only to Amaterasu and Luna, and he can inherit the power of Takamagahara without external interference.
But when discussing this inheritance right, Izanami ignored an extremely important factor, which was the will of the creator of all creations, including the sacred tree and Takamagahara.
As the source of the Yingzhou divine system, Shen Yuan enthroned Amaterasu as the God above God. When Shen Yuan did not recognize Susano'o's inheritance rights, even if Izanami pushed Susano'o as the first successor, it would not help. .
Just like secular dynasties competing for the throne, even if a prince has an advantage, once the emperor denies his right to inherit, unless that prince has the strength to overturn the existing order, all his efforts will be in vain.
Obviously, the current Izanami and Susanoo are not qualified to change the underlying order of Incense Shinto.
Susano'o's cry still echoed in Amaterasu Shrine, but Izanami had no time to pay attention at the moment.
Without the recognition of Shenshu and Takamawara, even though Susano'o has potential comparable to Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, it is of no use in the current situation.
Susanoo has no chance to grow, and to Izanami, he has lost his due value.
Shen Yuan walked towards Izanami step by step, with a bit of amazement in his eyes.
After getting some key information from the judge of life and death, Shen Yuan immediately chose to return to Yingzhou.
He first went to several ghost towns outside of Heian Kyo, and secretly killed all the underworld ghosts by using the magical power of Returning Wind and Returning Fire to solidify time, and then came to Amaterasu Shrine in the core of Takamagahara in advance.
Amaterasu Shrine is a forbidden area that is difficult for outsiders to approach, but for Shen Yuan, there is no obstacle, just like a home that can be entered and exited at will.
After Shen Yuan entered Amaterasu Shrine, he noticed the existence of the three demon kings. However, with the help of the exorcism magical power and the power of incense and fire to cover up, the three demon kings did not notice Shen Yuan's arrival.
Shen Yuan took this opportunity to return to the cabin next to the throne of the sacred tree, and quietly waited for Izanagi and Izanami to come to his door.
As expected, things went as Shen Yuan expected. Huangquan Hirasaka cut off contact, leaving Izanagi and Izanami confused and had no choice but to take action in a hurry.
Shen Yuan witnessed the birth of Susano'o, and denied his inheritance right before he was about to inherit Takamagahara's authority, completely shattering Izanami's plan.
Although everything is under control, Shen Yuan is still quite interested in Izanami.
Of course, Shen Yuan is not targeting Izanami herself, but the words Izanami said before giving birth to Susanoo.
Izanami once mentioned that in another history where she did not save Yingzhou, Yingzhou was destroyed by the will of the heaven and earth of the Xuanhuang Realm.
At this time, the gods of the Dusk Realm descended in the destruction and blessed Izanagi and Izanami, allowing the two to create Takama-ga-hara to continue the existence of Yingzhou.
In the eyes of others, Izanami's words are completely nonsense, but Shen Yuan does not think so.
He was late in traveling through time by 10,000 years, and finally corrected the original history by traveling back to 10,000 years ago, and completed the closed loop with the help of the only position in the world of Tiangang Great Divine Power, making it a real history.
But outside this real history, there is another history where Shen Yuan does not exist.
Shen Yuan is not sure whether this history has been completely erased or has become an illusory tributary of the long river of history.
But the only thing that is certain is that there must be information related to the former Luoyun Sect in that period of history, which may involve the secret of Shen Yuan's travel through time and the truth behind the artificial intelligence system.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan became more and more curious.
"I can give you a chance to live."
Shen Yuan spoke softly, his voice was calm but contained a will that could not be refused.
Izanami did not speak, but looked at Shen Yuan cautiously.
"Tell me the origin of the true history you mentioned.
As a price, I will suppress you in the new Huangquan Birasaka, and you will be responsible for extraditing the dead souls into reincarnation."
Izanami said sarcastically: "Trapped in Huangquan Birasaka as a prisoner?"
"That's better than completely falling."
Izanami was silent, with a bit of struggle in her eyes.
She knew very well that the moment Susanoo lost the right of inheritance, she had no chance.
Although she has reached the Hedao realm, any of the three demon kings is not inferior to her, not to mention that Shen Yuan, the god above gods, was able to confer Amaterasu ten thousand years ago, and ten thousand years later, he destroyed the Yellow Spring Hirasaka where the Judge of Life and Death sat.
Even if all the gods of Takama-ga-hara are added, they can't be a match for Shen Yuan.
The prisoner conditions proposed by Shen Yuan seem harsh, but it is precisely because of the harshness that they are credible.
If Shen Yuan claimed that as long as she told the truth, she would let her stay in Takama-ga-hara, Izanami would doubt its authenticity.
As Shen Yuan said, being a prisoner is much better than being completely destroyed.
After taking a deep look at Shen Yuan, Izanami whispered:
"I hope to enter Yellow Spring Hirasaka with Susanoo."
"No problem."
Shen Yuan agreed.
Izanami did not mention Izanagi, and Shen Yuan did not ask.
Both sides knew that the rebellion of Takamagahara needed a person to take responsibility, and Izanagi was undoubtedly the most suitable person.
Shen Yuan would not allow Izanagi to continue to exist, and Izanami also needed to abandon Izanagi as a discarded child to give an explanation to Amaterasu.
In the tacit understanding without words, Izanagi's fate was already determined.
"In the first thousands of years, Amaterasu conferred the title to Izanagi and me, and then created Takamagahara.
Izanagi and I are very grateful for Amaterasu's title and have offered all our loyalty to Amaterasu. I even think that this loyalty will last forever."
Izanami's face showed some reminiscence.
"But during the last spiritual tide three thousand years ago, an accident still happened.
Since Amaterasu Omikami was born and occupied the world of Yingzhou ten thousand years ago, the Moon Goddess has fallen into a state of 'malnutrition' and has never been able to successfully descend to the world.
For this reason, Amaterasu Omikami searched the world of Xuanhuang Realm and collected a large amount of natural materials and treasures to feed the sacred tree, hoping that the Moon Goddess would be successfully descended to the world.
During the time when Amaterasu Omikami was away, Izanagi was responsible for managing Takamagahara, and I was guarding the sacred tree to prevent accidents from happening to the Moon Goddess."
"One day, I suddenly sensed that an unprecedented will had descended on Takamagahara and transmitted it to me. A strange memory came.
In that memory, I saw a history that was completely different from this time and space. Izanagi and I created Takamagahara and gave birth to three sons, becoming the mother of the gods of the Yingzhou pantheon.
The history I experienced was a wrong history that was forcibly revised. That strange will wanted to correct all of this and return to the correct historical trajectory.
Under the temptation of that will, I followed my heart and tried to seize the power of Takamagahara. "
As Izanami slowly narrated, the entire Amaterasu Shrine fell into a strange silence, with only Izanami's voice echoing in the palace.
The three demon kings' expressions suddenly changed, and they subconsciously looked at Shen Yuan and Izanami.
But Izanami was still immersed in her own story, and Shen Yuan seemed to be oblivious to everything happening around him.
"Ten years ago, when the spiritual energy tide just revived, I began to take the initiative to plan.
I first collected the remnants of the demon war ten thousand years ago, secretly contaminated the Moon God Fruit, and forced Amaterasu to spend a lot of energy to suppress the pollution of the sacred tree.
In the following years, Huangquan rioted one after another, and the underworld eroded Yingzhou and used it as a springboard to invade Xuanhuang Realm.
I realized the opportunity, and took the initiative to go to Hirazaka and make a deal with Yama of the Tenth Hall, and obtained the power of Yama of the Tenth Hall to help me conceive Susanoo. "
As she spoke, Izanami waved her right hand, and five Yama Jun seals appeared in front of her.
At this moment, the five Yama Jun seals have long been dimmed, and the power of incense, Shinto, and the power of the underworld contained in them were extracted by Izanami to give birth to Susanoo.
Shen Yuan could sense that the five Yamas had left a residual thought in the Yama Lord Seal. If Susanoo could really ascend to the throne of God, Yama could use the Yama Lord Seal to interfere with Susano'o and Izanami. What he did was to make wedding clothes for the disciples of Yama of the Tenth Hall.
It's just that Izanami fell short of the mark, and Yama's backhand of the Tenth Hall also lost its value.
"Just after Amaterasu resisted the backlash of heaven and earth and repelled the projection of the tributary of Huangquan, the pollution in the sacred tree rioted again. Once the sacred tree was completely contaminated, Yueshen, Takamagahara, and even the entire Yingzhou would not be able to escape.
Amaterasu Omikami had no choice but to return to the sacred tree to suppress the pollution, which gave me the opportunity I have today. "
Listening to Izanami's story, Shen Yuan shook his head meaningfully and said:
"Just that?"
Izanami frowned slightly: "Do you want to break your oath?"
"No, no, no! You told me the information I wanted to know, and I have no interest in killing you.
I'm just curious, do you know the origin of that unknown will? "
The confusion in Izanami's eyes deepened: "That will should be related to the twilight world."
"Your guess is correct, but you didn't realize that that unknown will has always been by your side."
Izanami looked stunned, and then infinite fear suddenly rose in her eyes.
"puff!"
I don't know when the branches of the sacred tree that were hanging down penetrated Izanami's body. Susano'o let out a crazy cry, stood up from the ground and rushed towards the branches of the sacred tree.
However, the next moment, the branch penetrated the young body again.
Izanami struggled to raise her arms and hugged the crying young body in front of her. Blood flowed up the branches and spread to the ice-blue fruit.
Among the fruits that have been silent for thousands of years, the will quietly awakens like the end of dusk.
Around the ice-blue fruit, the twilight light slowly condensed into a body.
It was a female Bodhisattva coming by the moonlight, with the pale silence reflected in the full moon behind her.
"Moonlight Bodhisattva, see the Supreme Taoist Master!" (End of this chapter)
