Chapter 6 Rules and Four Children
A certain day.
The sky is a little overcast.
A light drizzle of rain was falling.
Gensokyo, two people stood side by side on a hill.
One was wearing a blue cloak, long black hair, and a moon-white shirt with large sleeves.
The other person was dressed in a gold silk robe, embellished with yin and yang jade pendants, his face was like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his eyebrows were like spring willows painted in ink.
"The rain hits Huangmeitou, there is no sun for forty-five days, it has been raining continuously for so long, what's going on lately?"
The jade, or the storyteller, raised his head to look at the fluttering light rain, and said in a low voice:
"It's like it's the rainy season, what's going on?"
“…… It's just that everyone thinks that the same sunny day is too monotonous. ”
In the wind and rain, Yakumo Mo, who was holding a parasol, turned around, and the pendant made a crisp sound like a wind chime.
"Heh......" the storyteller laughed dumbly.
After a pause, Yakumo suddenly asked, "How do you feel when you return from this trip?" ”
"What do you mean?"
The storyteller looked at Yakumo strangely.
The breeze blew away the cloak and hat he wore on his head, revealing a handsome face that had not changed even after thousands of years.
Letting the drizzle wet his cheeks, the storyteller looked at Yakumo quietly.
"I said you, leave a sentence [I will go to see the world after the establishment of the new order] and then disappeared without a trace for so many years, and finally came back, I just want to ask you how you feel after traveling."
"Which one do you want to hear? Good or bad? ”
The storyteller looked at Yakumo with a smirk.
"You built this order, right? What if I say a negative review? ”
"Do you think I'm going to be angry?"
Yakumo glanced at the storyteller nonchalantly, and then looked into the distance.
The vast and borderless Gensokyo, with high mountains and flowing water, picturesque scenery. However, the most striking thing is indeed the building wood that supported heaven and earth at that moment.
Each leaf represents a world.
There are new shoots, and there are dead branches and leaves.
Just as the outside world is constantly being born. and perish.
"When I was in the Xenomorph Demon Realm, Master Venerable taught me a lot ......" Ya Yunmo remembered the time when he was forcibly taken to the Xenomorph Demon Realm by the Abandoned Heavenly Emperor.
In those years, despite Yakumo's initial resistance, the Emperor of the Abandoned Heaven forcibly taught him all his ideas.
Absolute ruthlessness, absolute justice, rewarding good and punishing evil. Leave no mercy behind.
What is filthy must be eliminated and destroyed, and if the whole world is filthy, then destroy it once and for all to start again.
Such extreme ideas made Yakumo unacceptable. However, in the face of the overwhelming force of the Abandoned Heaven Emperor, Yakumo was unable to resist.
The Abandoned Heaven Emperor was once the number one martial god in the Heavenly Realm, and he had always only believed in his own power. I also hope to educate Yakumo Mo, who is destined to establish a new world order, into what he wants.
As he once said, inheritance is better than destruction.
It's just that what the Abandoned Heaven Emperor didn't expect was that Yakumo Mo's stubbornness exceeded his expectations.
Even though his legs were broken again and again, he still insisted on the original belief in his heart unwaveringly, and he couldn't agree with the concept of [establishing an absolute pure land world] of the Emperor of Abandoned Heaven.
However, although he does not agree with the core concept of the Emperor of Heaven. But Yakumo still found a lot of things worth learning from the other party.
So, Yakumo willingly called the other party "Master".
With the professor of the Emperor of Abandonment, Ya Yunmo gradually formed his own set of management concepts for the world in his heart.
Although it was different from the idea that the Emperor of Heaven Abandoned [all filth must be destroyed], and even had a dispute over the definition of [filth], Ya Yunmo also believed that mortal beings needed to be supervised.
The human heart is like a ghost, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the [Final Judgment Mechanism] inherent in the rules of each world itself to maintain the basic order.
So after returning to Gensokyo, Yakumo made the ship's mother and the deep-sea habitat ships become world patrols, and sent out to patrol various worlds.
However, with only a small number, they obviously cannot monitor the vast world. Because of this situation, the ship girls began to look for suitable subjects in various worlds as local monitors.
Or the native gods. Or a whole promising mortal civilization.
Or the world consciousness itself, like Gaia and Alayya.
Use Jianmu to directly correct and improve the rules of the world and fill in the loopholes. Then let the ship girls patrol all walks of life, unless there is an abnormal disaster that is enough to wipe out an entire world - the definition of disaster is not only natural disasters but also man-made disasters - Yakumo Mo will not take action himself.
The internal strife of the mortal world itself is also the natural law of the development of this world in his opinion.
Yakumo's main focus is on how to maintain overall stability.
After all, the lessons of the collapse of the Great Wilderness reminded him all the time. How to fight against the mirror opposite of the positive world, the world of evil shadows, is what Yakumo thinks he should pay the most attention to.
The Emperor of the Abandonment of Heaven was naturally dissatisfied with Yayunmo's behavior, but when he descended to Shenzhou and was besieged by the people from Jianzi Immortal Trace, Shulou Longsu and Buddha Sword Division, and after he was defeated in the Panyin Divine Palace and returned to the realm of the Six Heavens, the concept of the Emperor of Abandoning Heaven, who failed in his first attempt, seemed to have faintly changed.
"Since you're so insistent. Then let me wait and see what the world will look like under your rules. ”
"However, you remember, since you call me 'Master', then after 10,000 years, if I still don't agree with you, don't blame the teacher for being ruthless."
This is what the Emperor of the Abandoned Heaven said to Yakumo back then.
In view of this, he did not dare to relax in the slightest over the years, constantly trying to improve the rules of the world under the building, and even asked for advice from people who were friends with Gensokyo and even other worlds.
Although there are unreliable suggestions such as Reimu's proposal to drop all gold coins for 365 days a year, Yuyuko's pie in the sky, Kuroko's world that only Yuri's girl knows, and Icarus's suggestion of watermelon paradise, etc., but with the brainstorming, the rules are still being perfected at a gratifying speed.
The world of evil shadows has been opened again, and the odds of everything returning to zero due to the fusion of the positive and negative worlds have been reduced to infinitesimal size.
"If I had to say anything, I really don't."
The storyteller shook his head.
"In fact, the reason why I embarked on the road of fighting against gods and demons back then was nothing more than to fight for a way out for mortals."
Thinking of what he had seen and heard in the various worlds, the storyteller smiled.
"This way out is now very clear in front of me. Whether it's technology or magic, all living beings in the world have a chance to reach the extreme, even if this opportunity is so small that it is almost desperate, countless civilizations have failed on this road and disappeared. But it's still much better than the Great Wilderness era. ”
“…… Although there are still many shortcomings, stupid and stingy mortals always fight each other for short-term interests, but - that situation of the overriding of gods and demons has been broken, and this is good, really good......"
"Father--!! Father-!!! ”
Suddenly, there was a crisp call from the bottom of the mountain.
A black-haired little Lori wearing a brocade robe, delicate and cute, with red lips and white teeth, tied the horns, waving her arms and showing a bright smile at Yakumo on the hill.
Next to Little Lori is a toddler with a blonde hair.
Behind the two of them are Yui and Tetu.
"Ha, your four children are here, so I won't bother you."
Seeing the four children, the storyteller laughed teasingly, and suddenly disappeared.
Ya Yunmo looked at the four children under the mountain, and suddenly felt that even in the sultry rainy season, it didn't seem so annoying.
"Yui! Tetu! Kuroyukihime and Melly! I'm coming! (To be continued.) )
