Chapter 6: The True Key to Godhood

"Takamagahara, in the mythical age of the coexistence of gods and humans, it was indeed the abode of the gods, but later... Hmm, do you need me to give you a brief explanation of the composition of the world in the Age of Mythology?"

The madman looked around, his deep eyes scanning everyone's face one by one.

Grunt grunt –

A thunderous gastrointestinal creep rippled throughout the RV, and the skinny gluttonous king felt the gaze that was focused on him because of this, scratched his head and sneered:

"I'm a little hungry... Hurry up, my handful of wet tropical soil should be cool."

What does it matter if the soil is cold and you are hungry? Could it be that you still eat dirt?

The doubts in the hearts of the Tianzhu people just rose.

The Greedy Heavenly King, who was sitting next to the madman, immediately stood up... Although there is not much change in height compared to the chair she is sitting in... But her little hand fumbled in her pocket for a moment, took out a compressed biscuit wrapped in iron paper, threw it to the gluttonous king, and said:

"You eat the mat first."

Looking at this compressed biscuit, the hungry green pupils of the Gluttony Heavenly King suddenly burst out with a dazzling light!

Like a hungry wolf, he quickly got up and took it, and then he didn't even open the bag, just threw it in his mouth and chewed it.

As he chewed, he let out a groan as if he had eaten a delicious delicacy, and tilted his head as if he was about to go to heaven.

Put aside those food dramas that add luminous powder and Tsubaki medicine to cook a meal, this is the standard expression!

.... The food in the Weird Society's food is so bad...... The abbot of Sensoji Temple complained in his heart.

And the rest of the people who greeted the Gluttony Heavenly King can be regarded as having reacted to the reason.

Meantime.

With a compressed biscuit feeding, after appeasing the gluttonous king.

The Greedy Heavenly King immediately stared at the madman with a golden star, his round eyes full of admiration and curiosity, and said:

"Please speak slowly, more carefully!!"

The madman didn't agree immediately, and his eyes subconsciously swept over the lazy king beside him, who immediately chuckled:

"Yes, just satisfy them."

The relationship between these two ......

The head of the Ito family, who has the pupil of immortal martial arts, and the Sensoji monk who has the eye of the sky, discovered this small action for the first time.

They both looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

It was clearly a madman seeking the opinion of the Lazy Heavenly King.

When did these two become such superiors and subordinates... This is the point of confusion between the head of the Ito family and the abbot of Sensoji Temple.

The madman continued, "Where did you just go... Oh, by the way, in the Age of Mythology, through research and research, I have thoroughly figured out the composition of the world in the Age of Mythology."

Immediately, he looked at the five hundred saki and the elders of the Miyaji Temple in the Ise Jingu:

"You should know this very well, the only transcendent beings at that time were shrine maidens and god sons."

However, Elder Shenqiu interjected, "That's right, the madman does know a lot, it is a world where gods are rampant, and only witches are the dependents of the gods in heaven and earth, and they carry out activities."

Her attitude suddenly became friendly.

It's a shameless attempt to get closer again...

But.

The madman ignored her completely, lifted his glasses, and said, "Did you suddenly have a dog barking just now... It's okay, Elder Gobaizaki, I think you have something to say."

"Poof..." *** The Heavenly King couldn't hold back, his plump red lips opened, revealing his teeth, and he laughed.

The hot face was attached to the cold ass, and he was ridiculed as a dog... The friendly smile on Elder Shenqiu's face froze again...... But she didn't dare to attack yet, otherwise I'm afraid that the last place in the Shenqiu Sect would disappear...

The green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he almost suffocated his internal injuries......

Elder Gohundredzaki was asked by the madman by name, and she shook her head slightly and replied:

"I don't know much about the mythical era, but I know that shrine maidens at that time were mainly used as "doctors"

Existence, the general level is not high, and only at the end of the subsequent mythological era, the appearance of ghosts and gods, so that the witch can invite the gods to come up and have the ability to fight."

The elder of the palace temple on the side also nodded.

This is the standard saying in Ise Jingu.

But the madman waved his index finger and said, "Wrong, the witch's ability to invite gods has been possessed since the time of mythology."

Hearing this, Gohyakizaki and Elder Miyaji did not immediately refute, but looked at the madman curiously, and the former bowed his head: "Please also explain your doubts."

The elder of Ise Jingu, who should have known the entire history of the shrine maiden, asked an outsider about the shrine maiden's questions.

I'm afraid no one will believe this.

But what happened to this round table and the madman was so apt and natural that no one even felt abnormal.

The madman said tactfully:

"First of all, let's talk about the composition of the world in the mythological era, when the heavens were the dwelling place of the gods, called "Takamagahara", in the middle of which is the land of present-day Japan, called "Reedahara Province", and underground, the residence of evil spirits and the souls of the dead, called "Huangquan Province".

This is exactly what is told in Japanese folk myths and legends.

The madman continued:

"At that time, there was no obvious separation between the Three Realms, and the gods could easily come to the Reed Plains Country and the Yellow Springs Country, and humans could also easily leave the Reed Plains Country and enter the High Heaven Plains and even the Yellow Springs Country.

"It is precisely because of this unimpeded flow that the human world in the middle quickly became a battlefield between gods and demons.

"You are all familiar with the leaders of both sides, one is called Izanagi and the other is called Izanami, and they created the world, but they also almost destroyed it."

The King of Greed added:

"I know this! Izanami was burned to death because she gave birth to the god of fire, and her husband Izanami went to visit Huangquan Province and found that Izanami was covered with maggots, so he fled in fear, and Izanami thought that the other party was a negative man and wanted to kill him."

The madman nodded: "That's right, that's pretty much what it means, the creation couple parted ways for some reason, and since then they have been enemies of each other, triggering a battle between the gods of the High Heaven Plains and the ghosts of the Yellow Springs Kingdom.

"And the country of Reed Plains, which is sandwiched in the middle, that is, our human world, has naturally become a battlefield between the two sides.

"At the same time, in order to increase the odds of victory, the gods have cultivated a group of transcendents who can borrow their divine power to be cannon fodder on the spot, and the demons are not to be outdone, and at the same time learn to cultivate... This kind of transcendent beings who can borrow the power of gods and ghosts, the female is called the witch, and the male is called the son of the god, and this way of borrowing power is also the prototype of the divine magic."

Elder Gohundredzaki interjected:

"Nice story... But this doesn't have much to do with the Takamagahara, which is about to open, right?"

The magic used by modern shrine maidens, the "ghosts and gods" they invite, is actually a false image condensed by the power of the people's faith, and the more the power of faith, the stronger the ghosts and gods.

To put it bluntly, the power used by the shrine maiden is "the power of faith of the people."

It cannot be said that there is no difference between the "power of gods and the power of ghosts" that are specifically referred to by madmen, but it can only be said that it has nothing to do with it.

The madman laughed:

"Naturally, it's related, aren't you curious, where did Huangquan Country go?"

Where can you go, it's all folk myths and legends, are you stupid... The abbot of Sensoji Temple clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, I hope the donor will solve your doubts."

In the end, he didn't recklessly spit out what was in his heart, after all, he was afraid that a madman would accidentally annoy him.

The Shenqiu faction in front of you is a lesson from the past!

The madman continued:

"At that time, I was very curious, I was thinking about where the Yellow Springs Kingdom could go, such a big demon country, it was impossible to disappear out of thin air... So I started looking into the survey... It wasn't until I first entered Takamagahara in '97 that I got the answer."

Entered Takamagahara in '97!?

This remark instantly caused an uproar in everyone's hearts!

Compared with the madmen, those of them who have been waiting for 2022 are like a ***...

The madman did not care about their surprise and continued:

"I found out that the Yellow Springs Kingdom had indeed disappeared out of thin air, and not only that, but it also disappeared at the same time!

"Those two worlds that fought badly were not closed to the human world, but as if they were erased by an eraser, as if they were dealing with bugs, they were directly erased!"

"Can... Can you erase two worlds out of thin air, or the world where the gods of creation are... So, what has to be done by anyone?"

The greedy king's eyes were round, and his slap face was full of shock.

The madman shook his head:

"I don't know, maybe it's the real creator...

"You will know the history that followed, the sudden disappearance of Takamagahara and the Yellow Springs Kingdom... In the records, it is believed that the passage was closed suddenly, and thus the mythological era came to an end.

"The shrine maidens have lost their "power of the gods and demons", but they continue to promote the gods among the people with the propaganda base of the power they used before.

"Thus, by invoking the power of the people's faith, a similar power was once again obtained, that is, the current version of the Divine Invitation Technique, which is equivalent to creating a ghost and god to use.

"Then comes the age of mankind... Onmyoji, Buddhist monks, samurai, and even supernatural beings were born one after another..."

Elder Gohinzaki was still confused: "But... This set of logical and harmonious history still has nothing to do with the Takamagahara that will be opened now... Now that Takamagahara has been erased, what is this Takamagahara now?"

"yes, what is this High Heaven Plain that is about to be opened now?"

The madman asked the same meaningfully.

The *** Heavenly King, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly bit his red lip and said, "Yes... Eliminated bugs and integrated the new world of Huangquan Kingdom and the old Takamagahara?"

Hearing this, the deep eyes under the madman's black-rimmed glasses showed a rare surprise, nodded and smiled, "Yes, this is basically the same as my guess."

He paused and continued:

"Looking around the thousands of years of history, including the age of mythology, it is not difficult to see that the world has always been "artificially maintained" to a high level of confrontation.

"In the age of mythology, it was a confrontation between gods and demons, and this confrontation may have been too strong, causing it to erase it.

After that, the shrine maiden "Lucky" discovered the use of the power of faith, and became a super combat power, and the confrontation within the shrine maiden began.

"When the three major forces of the witch were stable, when the intensity of the confrontation decreased, an onmyoji suddenly appeared and began to stir up the cards, and the confrontation suddenly surged.

"When the shrine maiden and the onmyoji were stable, the two fishermen inexplicably picked up the Guanyin statue, and a complete path of Buddhism and monks appeared out of thin air, and even led to a leap into the Warring States Period, and the confrontation was unprecedentedly fierce.

"Later, when the samurai appeared out of thin air to pacify the Warring States, and the cultivators gradually reached a stable Quartet, the Stranger suddenly appeared out of thin air to stir up the situation.

"The world has become a confrontation between the supernatural and the cultivators, and the war never stops, not only because of the inferiority of human beings, but also because of the deliberate actions of this world..."

Listening to the words, everyone present was engrossed.

This is the direction they have never summarized, the so-called frog at the bottom of the well only knows Fang Yuantian is the truth, when you do not think out of the way to look at the overall situation, it is difficult to find the traces of "artificial".

The people who were preoccupied with the madman's eyes and circles, even though they were all level 8 human immortals and level 9 demigods, now they had the same expressions as those eager students in their memory.

He was in a trance.

So he continued, "So... What is the confrontation for?"

"For development."

The Heavenly King continued to reply sharply.

"That's right, this student listened very carefully and deserves praise." The madman laughed,

"Have you noticed that the number of demigods and immortals in the entire human race now,

It is many times more than the Warring States period hundreds of years ago, and even earlier in the Heian period.

"And this is the result of years of confrontation.

"There are still three days before the Takamagahara, which has been re-improved by it, will be opened, which also means that since the end of the mythological era, this high-intensity confrontation that has lasted to this day will finally come to an end, and that is the "it" that has always been behind it, and it has finally achieved its goal of planning for more than 2,000 years."

The head of the Tuyumen family knowingly asked, "What is its purpose?"

But.

But the madman shook his head:

"I don't know, maybe it's to raise a Gu to create a level 10 true god... Maybe there are other purposes, but after you send someone to explore Takamagahara, and get the contents inside, I believe that the demigods behind you will give the answer." Z.br>

But at this time.

Elder Gohundredzaki asked a question that everyone was concerned about.

"But you've been in Takamagahara-bara since 1997, so how can we be sure that you took that 'thing' away?"

Feeling the questioning gaze of the Tianzhu people.

The madman didn't change much of his expression, still shaking his head, "I can't take it.

"Takamagahara, like a lotus flower in the sky, there is no life there, only rules and petals, and every time you enter, you will immediately appear on the outer petals, and continue to move towards the lotus seed in the middle.

"At the beginning, there are 9 paths, which are 9 outer petals, and then you go to the 3 petals on the second level, and then to the center, which is the "lotus seed" that you all dream of.

"And I can't take that lotus seed, because there is no time, there is no time set by it, but in 2022, that is, three days later, the time will come, and you can also take the lotus seed, and I have no interest in it."

Elder Gohundredzaki asked, "What exactly is the so-called 'lotus seed'?"

The madman didn't answer immediately, but looked at the lazy king beside him again, and after seeing the other party nodding, he said word by word:

"The Key to Godhood!!"

.......

Asaka City.

Inside a private safe house with Aoi Broken Branches.

Listening to the narration of the elderly samurai Kojiro Ishimura in front of him, Seti couldn't help but ask:

"So, through the efforts of your Qinghe group, the madman took away the 'Lotus Seed' from the most central world of Takamagahara?"

The old warrior nodded, "That's right, it's the black stone in your hand."

Hearing this, Seti looked down and saw that the stone wall of the old legacy of the madman in his hand was quite smooth, like black jade, and the color was round.

And this .....

It is also the "key to becoming a god"!
