Chapter 6: The Omen

The six major families in the human world have some worries about outsiders, and this worry becomes stronger and stronger with the passage of time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Originally, the people of the six major families thought that after the outsiders settled in Gensokyo, they should gradually agree to the way of peaceful coexistence with the monsters, but after the implementation of the transformation plan in the human world, the outsiders began to reject the intervention of these old people, and began to show hostility towards the monsters.

If you want to survive in Gensokyo, living in peace with youkai is the highest rule of survival, and even if the tengu of Senba Mountain in the past still need human tribute offerings, humans can only accept it.

But after those outsiders returned to the familiar living environment of the past, what they wanted was to overthrow the rule of the Yakumo family and seize the leadership that originally belonged to the youkai. This is dangerous for the inhabitants of the human world, and if the actions of outsiders anger the youkai, then the human beings in the human world may be affected.

"We can't wait any longer, we must suppress their actions, we can't let them lead us to destruction anymore!" The elder of the Wind Demon Family was the first to speak, he had long been dissatisfied with these outsiders, because these outsiders had already taken away the power that belonged to their Wind Demon Family.

"Don't forget, that outsider has the support of that Ouyang. Otherwise, why did he get the position of vice-captain? If you can't get Fujiwara-sama's support, you don't want to take back the position of vice-captain. The head of the Sakurai family spoke.

The head of the Sakurai family didn't want to let the people of the Wind Demon family act privately, which made the two direct guardians of the human race even more disgusted with the six families.

"Cut!" Although she wanted to refute the words of the Sakurai family master, what she said was also the truth, and the Wind Demon family elder could only keep silent.

As the head of the Sakurai family said, now that the Hakurei witch is closer to the youkai and Hakurei's friend has run away from home, the only strong people in the world who can stand on the side of humans are Mei Hong and Ouyang. If they want to maintain the survival of human beings among the monsters, the six major families can only bother and be careful.

In fact, for most youkai, before the cataclysm, because of the ban of the Yakumo family, low-level youkai could not attack humans at will. And in the eyes of the monsters, the guardians in the world not only have Meihong and Huiyin, but also powerful forces such as the Eternal Pavilion and the Red Devil Pavilion, which are not at all low-level monsters that can be wantonly invaded. The situation of human beings in Gensokkyo is not as bad as human imagination at all, and it can even be said that it is even better than the outside world in ancient times.

And after the cataclysm, humanity has received a lot of assistance, coupled with the entry of a large number of outsiders, human beings have become a not weak force in Gensokyo.

"In short, these outsiders can no longer feel that they can be rulers. Gensokyo is the gensokyo of youkai. ”

With the words of the Misty Rain Patriarch, the elders of the six major families began to discuss how to restrain the actions of outsiders and make them accept the reality that they were being ruled. Only the elders of the barnyard family offered only a few opinions and did not express any further opinions.

The barnyard family knows that all the big monsters have a good impression of humans, because humans have a beautiful spirit and quality, and as long as humans still have those beautiful feelings, the big monsters will not give up on humans.

The underworld, on the banks of the Santu River.

The cataclysm has changed Gensokyo a lot, and the changes to the preserved parts of the heavenly and underworld are even greater, so much so that now Komachi always has a feeling of traveling by himself.

The underworld suffered heavy losses in the cataclysm, and it can be said that except for Komachi and Shikihime, the entire upper echelons of Hades disappeared due to the destruction of the world, and Shikihime became the supreme ruler of Hades. So after Gensokyo stabilized and the Hades and the Celestial Realm began to recover, Shikihime's position as the supreme ruler was retained.

The Hades, which restored the system of the Ten Halls of Yama, was named "Right and Wrong Hall" by Shiki Yinghime, which is the name of Shikieihime's place of work before the cataclysm, and it can also be regarded as Shikieihime's commemoration of the past.

Originally, the Four Seasons Eihime, who was promoted from ordinary Jizo to Yama, is now the supreme Yama King of the Ten Halls and the supreme ruler of Hades. Although he did not become the Emperor of Hades in the past, as time passes, if the underworld expands, it is very likely that Shiki Yingji will become the legendary Emperor of Hades.

In general, Lord Shikihime has been promoted, and will continue to be promoted in the future.

Compared to the situation of Shikihime, Komachi is much more miserable.

Originally, Komachi was the ferryman of the Santo River, and was responsible for transporting the soul to the other side of the Santo River. After the cataclysm, Komachi's position did not change, and he was still the ferryman of the Santo River. However, Komachi is not the only ferryman in the Santugawa River in Hades, and she has many companions who are also ferrymen, so Komachi's work is actually much lighter.

It's just that with the re-establishment of the Hades, the Santuchuan ferryman is managed by a certain Yama Temple, which is what Komachi wants to be in addition to the original boss Shikieihime, there are many new bosses. Then because there were more people in charge, Komachi was lectured more often for being lazy.

Of course, the new Yamaden Yamas are not particularly strict with Komachi's preaching, and the new Santugawa ferryman is not very close to Komachi, because Komachi's relationship with Shikieihime-sama can be said to be very special, and when the personal relationship is very good, they all face Komachi with a certain amount of pressure.

As a result, Komachi was not promoted, but was demoted if compared to the situation before the cataclysm.

Today, Komachi is also working hard to transport the souls that come to the banks of the Mito River, and as usual, he uses his abilities to leisurely raft on the Santu River, talking to the spirits about some things that are not happening.

Transporting the soul to the other side of the Santo River, Komachi said to the completely unconscious soul, "Guest, you have arrived at your destination." Next, follow the team, if you accidentally leave the party, you may not have a chance to be reincarnated. ”

The soul floated down the boat in a daze, following the walking team of ghosts.

After bidding farewell to this soul, Komachi began to row to the other side of the Santo River, where there were other spirits waiting for her to transport.

"Ah~~~, why are there so many human souls recently? It seems that there are no mass deaths in the world, right? ”

With a hint of doubt, Komachi continued with her job, but she didn't know how long she could last.

Fortunately, Komachi still has helpers, and the efficiency of the other ferrymen is much higher than that of Komachi, and the time it takes for Komachi to transport one soul is enough for them to transport ten souls. This shows how long Komachi was delayed on the road.

In the Thousand Feather Mountain Range, due north of the human world, a stone pillar that reaches the sky is slowly increasing in height.

It is a stone pillar that resembles a tower, except that it does not have the interior space of a tower, windows, etc., and it has not yet been capped.

Standing at the top of the stone pillar was the former Lack of Celestials - the Son of Heaven was now just a girl with the title of Celestial.

At the time of the cataclysm, the Celestial Realm was close to destruction, and the Son of Heaven and Yongjiang Yijiu, who possessed the attributes of immortality and man, came to live in Gensokyo on the ground, waiting for the reorganization of the Celestial Realm. After the reorganization of the Heavenly Realm, the Son of Heaven and Yi Jiu tried to return to the Heavenly Realm, but at this time they discovered a fact.

There is no way back to the Celestial Realm.

No matter how high the Son of Heaven and Yi Jiu flew until they were close to the true edge of Gensokyo, they could not return to the Heavenly Realm, as if the Heavenly Realm did not exist at all.

The incomprehensible Son of Heaven and Yi Jiu found the reason for Zi's questioning, and the answer given by Zi made both of them a little worried.

The Celestial Realm has been reorganized, there is no doubt about it. The reason why the Son of Heaven and Yi Jiu could not return to the Heavenly Realm was that they were rejected, and the Heavenly Realm was rejecting the Son of Heaven and Yi Jiu from entering the Heavenly Realm.

Before the cataclysm, the Son of Heaven had already entered the stage of "Heaven and Man and Five Declines" in advance. Just entering the Five Decays of Heaven and Man is not enough for the Son of Heaven to be unable to enter the Heavenly Realm, the key is that Gensokyo's current Heavenly Realm has been reorganized, and individual regulations have changed.

The most obvious change is that the Son of Heaven who has entered the Five Decays of Heaven and Man cannot enter the Heavenly Realm, and only after the Son of Heaven has passed the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and becomes a Celestial Man again can he enter the Heavenly Realm. The reason why Yi Jiu could not enter the Heavenly Realm was that he was affected by the Son of Heaven and his body was contaminated with the breath of the Son of Heaven, resulting in Yi Jiu being also recognized as a Heavenly Man of the Five Decays and unable to enter the Heavenly Realm.

For the Son of Heaven, she became a celestial before her mind matured, and she did not have the qualifications to become a celestial man, and now she wants to change from the state of "five decays of heaven and man" to a human being, and become a celestial person again, which is simply impossible.

Therefore, in order to return to the heavenly realm, the Son of Heaven decided to return to the heavenly realm in another way - to build the Tower of Babel.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of the Tower of Babel, as long as the construction of the Tower of Babel meets the standards, you can enter the Celestial Realm from the Tower of Babel. This physical way of entering the heavenly realm does not allow the Son of Heaven to get rid of the identity of the Five Decay Heavenly Beings, and the Son of Heaven will still become a human being with the Five Decay Cycle.

However, once the Tower of Babel is completed, the Son of Heaven can directly use the Tower of Babel when he adds it to the Heavenly Realm, and he doesn't care about his identity.

Standing on the half-built Tower of Babel, the Son of Heaven looked far away to the north of the Thousand Feather Mountains, which was shrouded in wind and sand, a desert full of death.

"There...... Is there something about it? "The Son of Heaven seems to see a dark shadow in the desert, blurred.

Yi Jiu is not by the Son of Heaven now, she is working hard to get rid of the breath of the Son of Heaven, striving to go to the Heavenly Realm first, to find a way to make the Son of Heaven quickly become a celestial.
