Underworld, Enma.

It was a dimly lit but palatial palace, and hundreds of dignitaries of the underworld dressed in black official uniforms were staring wide-eyed at the top of the 99 steps.

At the top is a purple-gold throne made of skeletons that belongs to the Enma.

However, at this time, Enma was not sitting there.

She, like all the officials of the underworld, stood honestly at the bottom of the steps.

Enma looked at the High Heaven Origin Divine Envoy on the throne with a confused expression:

"This ...... What are you doing? ”

After hearing the arrival of the Takamaga Divine Envoy from her subordinates, she hurried over, and as soon as she entered the palace, she saw a tall Divine Envoy, standing on her throne with her arms crossed and legs crossed......

And with their backs to them.

What kind of new posture are you?

"Uh-"

Enma pulled his hair in a bun and asked in a low voice, "This venerable oracle, why don't you turn around and sit on a chair?"

"I see you in this position...... It's weird and uncomfortable. ”

"No!"

The oracle raised his hand and interrupted her: "I don't want to show my true face just yet, and I'm satisfied with this posture." ”

"That's fine......"

Enma rolled her eyes.

"Honorable Divine Envoy, may I ask if you have any important orders for Gao Tianyuan to go to the underworld this time?"

The oracle nodded, "Of course."

"The Wind Day Prayer Festival is coming, and according to custom, all eight million Shinto gods should show up and go to Ise Jingu to discuss with Amaterasu-sama, and at the same time, they can also show their divine power to all beings.

"But you know, the gods of Takamagahara are no longer able to go to the human world."

Enma raised his head: "It's been more than four hundred years, and you still haven't found the root of the problem?" ”

"Hey—"

The oracle was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly:

"At the beginning, we thought that it was because of the loss of faith and the lack of divine power that we could not go to the mortal world, so we had to come up with a strategy to break the gate of the netherworld."

"Do you know it's a good idea......"

Enma rolled her eyes again.

Anyway, the oracle can't see it with his back to her, so he can flip it whenever he wants.

The oracle continued: "Recently, the power of faith has returned, and we have only tried to break the channel again, but ......"

The dignitaries of the underworld held their breath.

They had a sense of foreboding.

"But we found out that the root cause of the problem is not here, but a powerful force that has blocked Takamagahara that even we can't contend with."

Wow –

As soon as the words of the divine envoy came out, the entire Enma Palace suddenly erupted into an uproar.

The officials looked at each other in disbelief at the sight of disbelief in each other's eyes.

Takamagahara blocked?

Aren't the three great gods of Amaterasu, Tsukiyomei, and Kensu Susanoo all living in Takamagahara, how can there be the power to blockade them?

In the eyes of the dignitaries of the underworld, the word Amaterasu is equivalent to invincibility.

Enma wasn't surprised, she had already guessed about it.

After a moment, she frowned:

"Honorable oracle......

"At this time, Gao Tianyuan asked you to convey this information to the underworld, which should be strictly confidential, there should be an important matter to entrust."

Hehehe~

The god made the urn sound and laughed twice:

"As the Lord of the Underworld, a pair of Enma eyes can penetrate all falsehoods, and I really have something important to convey this time."

After a pause, he solemnly explained:

"First of all, Takamagahara's return to the human world is far away.

"If the power of the true god cannot come to the world, then Shinto will face a lot of doubts, and we will not be able to create another Netherworld Gate incident."

Hearing this, Enma's eyes lit up:

Takamagahara ...... Isn't it possible to finally agree to delegate authority?

The old lady has been waiting for this day, but she has been waiting for thousands of years!

Sure enough, the oracle said:

"Considering that the strength of the underworld is still quite strong as a whole, the three gods have agreed that your personnel will temporarily take over the major shrines and handle the affairs of the human world.

"Amaterasu-sama ordered, and Ise Jingu was handed over to the Enma in custody.

"The rest of the shrines are up to you."

A smile twinked at the corner of Enma's mouth.

Hum~

I have long seen that the way you manage the human world is not pleasing to the eye, and this time it is in my hands for the time being, but you have to act according to the ideas of this lord.

"Enma, now you have your first mission."

"Divine envoy, please speak."

"You should know that super demon in the world, the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox, in front of Yuzao, right?"

Enma raised his eyebrows: "Is that the fox demon who kicked and smashed the gate of the netherworld in advance?" ”

That guy is really strong.

Although Tamamo is not a god, when it comes to real combat power, it may be stronger than a considerable number of gods.

The oracle nodded:

"That's it.

"Tamakimae's wife is a shrine maiden in Mitsu, and he was punished and executed by the gods for violating the righteous path of heaven and earth, so he has always held a grudge against Takamagahara.

"And the Pure Rank Great Priest under the seat of Amaterasu, Utsunomiya Ten, guessed that Tamamo had been hiding in the Imperial Palace.

"He's very likely to disrupt the wind and pray for the day."

Enma blinked:

"You mean, let me cooperate with Utsunomiya Ten, and capture Tamamo in front of you?"

"How can it just be a catch!"

The voice of the oracle became low and serious: "You need to arrest him in front of the people and tell the world that he is the only culprit who destroyed the gates of the netherworld."

"And we are the great gods who defend the peace of the world."

"Huh?"

Enma frowned.

I'm a little reluctant to do this.

"Don't you think it's a bit too damaging ......, this oracle?"

Enma thought about it, but still held back the words that followed.

After all, the message conveyed by the oracle is the will of Takamagahara, and although it may be a little different, there should be no problem in general.

"Whew-"

The oracle breathed a sigh of relief:

"Enma, you are the lord of the underworld, and if you are too merciful, it is not in line with your identity.

"I've already conveyed everything, and I'm going to retire."

With that, his figure slowly became transparent and disappeared from the throne.

Enma's eyes narrowed.

Obviously, this divine envoy just now was not really here, and the gods of High Heaven Plain were indeed unable to move an inch.

......

Three days later.

A huge guard of honor departed from the Imperial Palace and headed for Ise Jingu.

Wherever the guard of honor passed, the common people bowed down one after another, sending Toba to pay homage to Amaterasu and praying for the well-being and happiness of the country and the people.

In the center, a carriage surrounded by guards and onmyoji.

Toba looked at the beautiful woman sitting across from him and said softly:

"Yuzao, I didn't even bring the queen on this trip."

However, in the past, the Yuzao Female Palace, who should have spoken sweetly at this time, just let out a cold "oh", and looked like she was ignoring it.

"Tamamo, what's wrong with you today?"

He reached out and wanted to grab Tamamo in front of him.

Yuzao hurriedly avoided it, gritted his teeth and said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, minister, minister, minister......

"I'm not feeling well today."

If it weren't for a while, he would have pierced the old bottom of Shinto.

Lao Tzu will fall into the sky now and send you to ascend to immortal!

Tamamo looked out of the carriage:

Let's hope Sang-ryu has everything ready......
