and countries.

Awaji Island.

It is the largest island in the Wakuni Seto Inland Sea.

In the creation myth of Wakoku, after Izanagi and Izanami, who were both brother and sister and husband and wife, were united, the first island they gave birth to was Awaji Island.

Geographically, Awaji Island was originally connected to Shikoku Island as an island, but it was later transformed into an independent island due to geological changes and the surrounding land sinking.

Speaking of Awaji Island, the most famous is probably the narcissus here.

After all, in a certain long-ago game, the terminally ill heroine drove hundreds of kilometers here to see the daffodils on Awaji Island, and finally chose to commit suicide on Awaji Island.

Even though it's March, and it's been a month since the daffodils bloom in January and February, Awaji Island is still in full bloom with daffodils.

Spread all over the mountains, the yellow and pure white flowers bloom in the wind, reflected in the emerald sea, which is refreshing.

In the midst of this flower field, there is a torii gate standing quietly.

The bright infrared paint of the torii gate has long since faded, leaving only the gray wooden structure.

No one knows which shrine is located near this torii, but because of the respect that the people of Wakuni have for the gods, no one has ever questioned it for many years.

After the torii, between the peaks, there is a cave.

The cave is overgrown with weeds and inaccessible, with only a rope tied to the entrance of the cave, but it has also been polished and faded by years of wind and frost.

A man in a gold and red kimono stood in front of the entrance of the cave, feeling a little emotional.

"Am I here for twenty-five years?"

He raised his hand slightly, trying to break the string, but was stopped by Tamamo who was reining in his tail on the side.

"If you break this, you'll be noticed by the soul exorcists."

Tamamo smiled and continued.

"Let me do it."

She walked leisurely, and just like that, she bypassed the rope and walked into the cave.

The man raised an eyebrow.

This cave is not so ordinary, it is surrounded by Shinto, Buddhism, Yin-Yang related techniques, and even a church incantation, layer upon layer, densely packed, sealing this cave.

In addition to the internal, there are also external, driving away the living, ignoring the vision, and obscuring the information, creating a complete cage here.

For the past twenty-five years, the Soul Jade has been quietly placed here.

"Yamazo already has the personality of Amaterasu's subordinate shrine maidens, and she can freely shuttle through such a large array."

The wine swallowing boy explained, glanced at Abe Harumi who was alone in the distance, and then was a little curious.

"Speaking of which, how did you meet Tamamo in front of you?"

Gossip is not only the nature of people, but also the nature of ghosts.

The man glanced at the wine-swallowing boy, and when he saw that Yuzao had not come out for a while, he said softly.

"When I was commissioning, I rescued a fox who was injured and about to die, and the little guy stayed with me after he was cured."

When he said these words, he behaved much more gently than before, much to the surprise of the drunken boy.

I didn't expect this guy to show such an expression?

"The fox, is it Tamamo Mae?"

The drunken boy asked curiously.

"Yes, one night, the little fox disappeared, and a woman suddenly appeared at my house, saying that she would repay her kindness, and kept saying that who understands this."

The man smiled, as if remembering the scene.

"So, it's not that Tamamo is ...... Demagoguery chose this path? ”

The drunken boy pondered it for a while, but decided to be more straightforward.

"My goals are different from ours."

The man's smile vanished.

"I just want to take back what belongs to me."

Something that belongs......

The drunken boy looked at the man's figure thoughtfully.

According to his understanding, this man, even twenty-five years ago, was not just a soul caster.

Just like the remains of Tsukiyo, this man is also the existence of a god after transforming his own form.

He has memories of his time as a god, and because of this, he has been able to take the art of slaying spirits to a whole new level in the shortest possible time.

Because that's his domain.

The drunken boy was a little curious about which god this soul slayer was the incarnation of.

However, the other party kept silent, and the drunken boy did not continue to inquire.

Judging from the situation in Hell, this guy is much stronger than himself, and the drunken boy even feels that the strength he has shown is only the tip of the iceberg.

What's more, at present, the Drunken Swallowing Boy only knows that there are gods who transform their state and fall from high to status to maintain their existence, but they have never heard of a similar existence, rising from low to high.

Such a way of sublimation should be impossible to talk about after the emergence of human beings, and after the path of faith is occupied.

The drunken boy was a little curious about what he was going to do.

At this time, Tamamo had already come out of the cave with a simple spear in his hand.

The spear was the length of a naginata, the long pole was wooden, and it had an ancient atmosphere, and the body of the spear was not rusted, but like a new mirror, reflecting the faces of everyone.

Tamamo raised the spear flat in both hands and handed it to the man.

He picked up the spear with one hand.

After a long moment of careful scrutiny, he looked away.

"...... this?"

The wine-swallowing boy felt the power in the spear, and he had a vague guess.

"Izanagi and Izanami have the duty to open the world, they picked up a spear, stirred up the chaos in the world, and when they drew the spear, a drop of water dripped from the tip of the spear, and the island of Honshu of Wakuni was formed."

In the distance, Abe Harumi explained aloud.

"This spear is the spear that opened up the country of peace."

Spear of Heaven.

Compared with the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, the Eight Mirrors, and the Heavenly Cloud Sword, it is more ancient and high-level existence.

It's an artifact within an artifact.

Of course, in the mythology of Heguo, the Heavenly Qiong Spear only appeared once in the creation myth, and then disappeared and did not have any whereabouts.

Even the shrine where the country enshrines eight million gods is not related, and there is no impostor.

"I didn't expect it to be sealed here?"

The drunken boy suddenly had some clue about the identity of this soul slayer.

"The Heavenly Qiong Spear has been stored on Awaji Island for a long time, and I discovered this at the time, but unfortunately, I found it too late, so I could only reluctantly suppress it, so that those soul slayers ignored its existence."

The man said with emotion.

"This spear is in charge of the power of creation and rebirth, the power to turn the ambiguous and chaotic sea into an island."

"But at the same time...... It is also a spear of rebirth that can turn land into seawater and restore order to chaos. ”

In the man's hand, the Heavenly Qiong Spear turned around.

"Reverse the water and the sky, the Qiong Spear of the sky."

Some kind of tremor erupted from Awaji Island.
