Chapter 704: Night Talk
"Abandon your relatives, your friends, your possessions, everything in the world?"
Asukina frowned deeply.
"What the hell is that place? How do you have to be able to enter? Ditch everything? ”
Raising her head, Asukina looked at Yakumo Mo.
Reaching out, he gently held the other person's warm palm.
"If that's the case, I won't go there, even if it's a beautiful world."
"That's not necessary."
Yakumo shook his head, his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop.
"I've heard of the box garden world."
The girls gathered around, and under the full moon, everyone looked at Yakumo with round shining eyes.
"The world of Hakoniwa was created to make it fun and enjoyable for the possessors of powerful gifts—"
"Wait, you say...... Create? ”
Purple opened the folding fan with a "whoosh".
"Artificial world?"
"Yes." Yakumo stroked the long hair on his chest with one hand and rubbed Yui's head with the other, and the little girl looked up at Yakumo and gave him a bright smile.
"Originally, the information about Hakoto was the memory of the previous life, and it had long been shattered. But recently, when I realized the fundamental laws of the world through Jianmu, I realized something, and combined with those broken but vaguely residual memories, I speculated that the Hakoniwa World should have been originally a god-created world built to guide the correct development of other worlds. ”
"Guiding the outside world...... Correct development? ”
Purple's gaze looked into the distance, which was the direction of Jianmu.
"This function is very similar to that of Jianmu."
"Yes."
Yakumo nodded.
"Sikong Mo once said that in the era of the Great Wilderness, the brilliant and powerful Jade Jizi plotted everywhere in order to create a perfect world where mortals can also grasp the mysteries of the gods, and through the contradictions and hatred between the gods and spirits, he set off a great war and shattered the Great Wilderness."
"According to Jade Jizi's original plan, he should be half the battle."
"The Great Wilderness was shattered, and countless worlds were formed. Mortals have also had the opportunity to explore the mysteries of the gods with the blessing of all kinds of luck - just like the superpowers of Mai Trin's original world, the legendary absolute powers. ”
"As a mortal, listen to the will of God."
Yuriko Ichigo hugged Misaka Misaka and said this sentence slowly.
"Yes, that means that the Jade's plan succeeded—but his ultimate goal, to create a godless world, was not achieved—so it could be said that the plan failed."
Holding a teacup. Yakumo looked down at his own figure reflected on the surface of the tea.
"The gods still exist, and many of the names of the gods have been sung in countless worlds - which means that the concept of the gods themselves has not disappeared, and they may have changed their mythology, existed somewhere in another way, and then let their concept of existence affect countless worlds."
"Hakoinaba?"
Asukina asked, tilting her head sideways.
"I think so."
The little doll yawned, she had no interest in these things at all, but she also knew that she couldn't disturb her family while they were talking about business, so she just sat quietly on Yakumo Mo's shoulder.
Yakumo Mo, who noticed the mercury lamp, took the little doll down and let her lie in his arms.
The mercury lamp twisted his body. After changing into a comfortable position, I closed my eyes.
Although he knew that the little puppet would not be cold, Yakumo still tied up his robe and covered the little girl's body.
Then, he lowered his voice slightly: "Their act of living in seclusion and using the concept of their own existence to influence countless worlds in a mythological way can also explain from the side why many worlds are very similar. Not only the social environment, but also the historical development and various myths and legends are similar. ”
"It's a leak in another sense. It's just that this leak is active, and the impact on other worlds is deeper. ”
"Misaka doesn't understand ...... at all"
Misaka Misaka lowered his head, and the dull hair on his head shrugged weakly.
Yuriko smiled and patted her head, and then the little girl was happy again.
"Tomorrow, you received this letter, it should be an invitation from someone inside the box court to get there. I could feel the breath of that world from above—the seeds of Jianmu were about to move. ”
"Mo, are you going there?"
"No, it's not me who goes, it's [us]."
Yakumo took Asukina's hand.
Zi frowned, "Mo'er." That world...... Is it strong? ”
Looking at Zi fixedly, thinking about it, Yakumo nodded.
"If it was Gensokyo, I don't think it would have the strength to confront the world of Hakoniwa head-on - there must be gods there who are still alive and still existing after the Great Wilderness was shattered."
"I even suspect that the Hakoniwa World itself was built on the largest remaining wooden torso after the Great Wilderness shattered, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the powerful influence of that world on countless worlds."
"But now......"
Yakumo suddenly laughed and pointed to Jianmu in the night.
"Because of its particularity, even in countless worlds, there can only be one existence, we have it here, and the building wood there in the box garden - or the building wood left after the great wilderness is broken has lost its original nature, I think the building wood trunk of that world should only be able to support the box garden itself from collapsing."
"If it's true that Jianmu has been transferred to Gensokyo, then Gensokyo is already on par with Hakowa in terms of personality - maybe we are still not opponents in a head-on confrontation now, but we will definitely not lose either."
Pointing to his forehead, Ya Yunmo said: "I and Jianmu are one, I am here, Jianmu is here, Gensokyo is here, I die, Jianmu is dead, and all the worlds will immediately return to chaos, and none of those gods can escape, and they will all turn into ashes." ”
"So we're safe."
The atmosphere that was originally slightly depressed suddenly relaxed.
"Tomorrow, no matter why you received this letter, but since we received it, there is no reason why we should not go there."
"Okay, I'll go there."
Asukina smiled and turned to look at Esther.
"Aster, I might have to make you work harder."
"Okay, sister, I'm your sword, everything - as you wish!"
"Mo'er, I'll go too, right?"
"Nope."
Yakumo shook his head.
"My sister also knows that no matter how it changes, the fact that I am a youkai will not change, and the [whim] that belongs to the youkai has not appeared, so there will be no danger this time."
"Tomorrow Nai received the letter, it may be a coincidence, but it is more likely that some high-ranking god in that world is deliberately plotting, if it is the latter, then he has absolutely no malicious intent."
"Remember why Gensokyo was founded in the first place?"
"You mean—?"
"That's right, at that time, because humans gradually rejected and did not believe in the existence of youkai, and because they gradually lost faith in the gods, you established Gensokyo, sister-sama."
"After Gensokyo's Kenki replaced the original Kenki's role, the gods of the Hakoniwa world should now face the same predicament as the Gensokyo youkai at that time."
"There has been a crisis in the concept of their existence."
Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Yakumo Mo looked down at the mercury lamp that had fallen asleep.
"They need our help." (To be continued.) )
