Three days passed quickly, and Hao Ren arranged for Tang Shi to enter the three candidate goddesses as Keiko. There was also a little turmoil in it, and the woman who took over Tang Shi at the beginning, that is, Keiko and Phantom Hime's common sister - Satomi. After hearing that Haoren had arranged Keiko to be a candidate goddess, he had a fierce conflict with Haoren.

In the end, she couldn't resist Haoren, and she was so disappointed in her father that she left Tokyo in a rage. This incident is a small episode, Tang Shi believes that Hao Ren can handle it well, so he always observes with a play-watching mentality.

……

Inside the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

Tang Shi followed behind Haoren, and when he passed by a small stream, the full moon in the sky was reflected in the stream. Today is the full moon, and every time the ancestor of the demon beast wakes up, it will be at the hour of the full moon.

'It seems that all youkai are particularly fond of the full moon. Thinking so in his heart, Tang Shi raised his head slightly and looked at the sky, the sky was cloudless, the moon was bright, and the moonlight was as bright as a street lamp shining on the whole land.

Haoren, who led the way in front of Tang Shi, keenly discovered Tang Shi's abnormality, because of Tang Shi's orders, he always maintained the identity of 'father', so he was surprised in his heart, at this time he deliberately put on a straight face, stopped and asked in a somewhat stern tone: "What's wrong Keiko?" Any questions? ”

Tang Shi shook his head slightly and replied, "It's okay father, I just think the moonlight tonight is beautiful." ”

Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this, is it beautiful? He looked up in surprise. As a demon beast that has survived for more than a hundred years, he has seen this full moon scene dozens or hundreds of times tonight, and he has long been accustomed to it in his heart.

"Okay, let's go, your imperial uncle is still waiting for us," Hao Ren said with a hint of reminding.

Tang Shi nodded and continued to follow Hao Ren towards the Deep Palace. Half an hour later, the two men came to the outside of a large hall. Standing outside the main hall, Tang Shi stood in place with a slight frown.

An inexplicable force escaped from the main hall, and Tang Shi knew through Haoren that this was the power of the revival array. It was only after contact at this moment that Tang Shi discovered that the aura of this power was actually very similar to the aura brought by the eerie ghost claws of Yuan Dazong before his death, the same rotten power.

"Master, they're still waiting." At this time, Hao Ren came to Tang Shi's side and said softly with his head sideways.

Tang Shi looked up and saw that in the main hall, there were several people staring at him curiously at this time. So he quietly hummed and walked into the main hall.

After waiting for a while, there were gradually more people in the main hall, except for some guards and soldiers, most of them were old qualifications in the hundreds of grades.

These guys are all running from all over the world, and according to the rules of demon beasts, they can't help but come on such a big day as the ancestor awakens.

Suddenly, the internal official shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived~"

Everyone took advantage of the situation to look in the direction of the internal official's shout, and Tang Shi was no exception. I saw a man who looked to be in his early forties appear surrounded by everyone, and the stars and the moon walked slowly.

This man appears in Keiko's memory for a long time, perhaps because he has a daughter as old as Keiko, and the two have a very good relationship.

At this moment, the amiable man had a solemn face on his face, and walked up to the main seat without squinting. Looking at the crowd, he waved his hand and said, "Sit down." ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and in the huge hall, the people of the royal family sat on the right side of the main hall, and on the left sat the clan elders.

"The hour is approaching, so I won't say more, the resurrection of the god is imminent, and it is up to you to choose the goddess now." The Emperor, who was seated in the main seat, glanced at the main hall and said bluntly.

The internal official next to him comprehended, shouted, and said, "Please invite three candidate goddesses to come out." ”

Tang Shi got up with a smile on his face and walked out with firm steps. Among the alternate goddesses who walked out with him, in addition to the daughter of a prince, there was actually the daughter of the emperor who was about the same age as Keiko.

"What's going on? In addition to himself, there are still people who take the initiative to ask to become a goddess? Tang Shi was a little surprised in his heart, according to the three alternate goddesses designated before, there was no His Royal Highness the Inner Prince, who was honorable.

"Your Majesty, are you mistaken, why is Prince Duzi among the candidates?" Among the royals on the right, a man stood up and asked directly. Obviously, the emperor's choice was not communicated to anyone, and it should have been improvised.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Prince Duzi is His Majesty's bloodline, which seems to be different from the selection of alternate goddesses in the past. ”

Without squinting, the emperor said, "Oh? How? Can't my daughter become a goddess? ”

"No, Your Majesty. We just didn't think it was in line with what was customary in the past, so we ......"

The emperor's face was solemn, he looked at the people who were talking about it, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Custom? It was Atsuko's own decision, and since she was bent on dedicating herself to the gods, I thought that as a father, I had no reason to refuse. Okay, let's stop this matter, now for the selection. ”

The knife cut through the chaos, everyone looked at each other and had to give up, and then three girls stood in the middle of the scene wearing the unique costumes of the goddess.

"The selection begins!"

With the shout of the internal official, an invisible demon closed space formed in the field, enclosing all three of them in the space.

Through this transparent demon closed space, Tang Shi found that everything outside was gradually blurred, as if he had slipped into the abyss, and there was a strong sense of falling.

"Don't worry, it's a necessary process," suddenly the emperor's voice drifted through the space.

At this point, the feeling of falling ended, and a black dot appeared in front of the three of them.

The dot was like a spreading vortex, and soon expanded to the size of a person.

"Go inside, inside is the space for the cultivation of the Divine Lord. Your fate will be decided by the Lord Himself! The Emperor's voice sounded again, and after the three girls glanced at each other, Mei Shi took the lead in stepping into the dark spatial vortex.

Then Duzi also walked in, but Tang Shi stared at the black hole for a long time, and the aura of decay became more and more intense. Taking a deep breath, Tang Shi finally stepped in.

As he walked into the black hole vortex, the vortex disappeared without a trace, and even the demon closed space returned to normal, and everything in the hall was as usual, except for the three alternate goddesses.

In the whirlpool, this is a very magical space, as if you are in the starry sky, except for the plane with a radius of about fifty meters under your feet, floating alone in the void.

On the plane, there is a staircase, and on top of the staircase stands a throne.

At this moment, an old man with a clumsy body wrapped in a red robe sat on the throne, his head hanging down as if he was dead.

Faced with this situation, the three looked at each other. At this moment, the old man on the throne slowly raised his lowered head.

"Is it time again? It's really fast~" A hoarse and terrifying voice came from the old man, and Tang Shi couldn't even tell whether the owner of the voice was a man or a woman.

Under the hood of the red robe, the old man's head was completely obscured, leaving only two eyes as green as light bulbs. The dark green eyes stared at Tang Shi and the others for a long time, and then asked, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

Yashi preemptively said: "Back to the gods, you have been asleep for more than two hundred years. ”

"More than two hundred years?" The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then asked angrily, "What's the matter?!" How did it take more than 200 years to wake me up again! ”

"Divine Lord, something big has happened in the human world, and we need your leadership!" This time, Atsuko explained unwillingly.

"Oh? Event? What's the big deal? ”

Duzi hurriedly explained the virus, and the old man was silent when he heard this, and only after a long time did he say quietly: "I see, this may be a disaster for me, an opportunity, and an opportunity for my demon beast clan to regain hegemony!" ”

"The Divine Lord is wise!" Mei Shi and Atsuko hurriedly shouted and bowed.

On the contrary, Tang Shi was indifferent, and this abrupt performance naturally attracted attention. The old man's dark green eyes stared at him.

"Why don't you salute?" The hoarse sound was like the tip of a needle scraping against glass.

Tang Shi stared at him without fear and said, "I think it's better to stand." ”

"Interesting little girl, I hope you can be the last one to stand." The old man said playfully, and his right hand gently patted the armrest of the throne, and a triangular array appeared at the feet of the three people, each corner corresponding to a person.

Then, from the array, a demonic closed space with a strong aura of decay suddenly emanated. The demon closed space surrounded the three of them.

"Let's begin, decide the strongest, she will be clothed in glory and get a new life!"

Hearing this, the three girls standing in a triangle looked at each other and bowed.

The moment he got up, the battle broke out. I saw that Yashi was the first to attack, his arms were spread out, and two dark green beams of light shot towards Tang Shi and Duzi.

Tang Shi's figure flashed, and the beam of light passed by, hitting the edge of the demon's closed space, making a sneering sound.

'Corrosion? Tang Shi was a little surprised.

On the other side, Atsuko did not dodge in the face of the attack, and appeared calm and calm.

Swish!

A crystal-like barrier formed in front of Duzi, and the beam of light hit the barrier, and disappeared without a trace.
