To this day, no one knows that Yakumo Murasaki once wanted to capture a human named Takasaka Takeya for research, but was stopped by the previous shrine maiden.

That is, it is a secret.

A certain martial arts master once said that if a person reaches the invincible realm in the world, then the only choice he can choose is to live in the mountains to feed the eagle or shave his hair to sweep the floor.

To put it simply, the so-called strong, or the so-called strongest, seem to be some quirks that ordinary people can't understand.

This applies to youkai as well.

As the part of Gensokyo's strength pyramid that exists, although Yakumo Purple is not arrogant enough to think that she is invincible in the world, but seriously, it seems that it is quite difficult to find a guy who can actually kill her.

As one of the founders of Gensokyo, the life of the monster sage Yakumo Purple is basically sleeping.

Yes, just sleep.

Youkai have an extremely long lifespan, so long that they can ignore the concept of lifespan itself, Yakumo Murasaki, as a powerful big youkai, naturally has an almost immeasurable lifespan.

"If you work too hard, there is nowhere to spend your extra life."

This is the general attitude of youkai towards life, so except for the necessary survival needs, most youkai rarely cling to anything.

To put it simply, it's lazy.

Yakumo Purple is a representative of this school of monsters, and he has sharpened the name of the monster sage into a monster idler.

However, what no one knows is that Yakumo Murasaki, who loves spring hibernation, summer hibernation, autumn hibernation, and hibernation, actually carried out a certain plan without stopping for a whole year.

Of course, it may not sound surprising to say this, but a comparison is obvious.

As one of the founders of Gensokyo, and the first youkai to propose the Gensokyo plan, it took three hundred years for Yakumo to make preparations before establishing Gensokyo.

However, in 300 years, she actually worked for less than three months, and the basic process was to get some sleep, because if the work was done too quickly, it would be boring.

So it's incredible that such a youkai who takes his lazy lifestyle to the extreme would carry out a certain plan non-stop for a year.

And then how unbelievable, this is also true.

And what made her obsessed with it was-

Takeya Takasaka observes the plan.

I want to explain one thing here first, Yakumo Murasaki's ability as a youkai is to manipulate the realm.

What is a realm?

"The existence of things is based on the existence of the realm"

Without water, the lake does not exist. If there were no ridges, there would be no mountains and no sky. Without Gensokyo's Great Enchantment, Gensokyo wouldn't exist.

The ability to manipulate the realm is the ability to subvert the horror of everything from the root.

In other words, the ability to manipulate realms can create new existences and negate existing existences.

This ability can also be used to teleport anywhere through cracks in space, or to move part of the body to other places, even not just physical space, but also in paintings, dreams, stories, etc.

This is one of the most dangerous abilities that youkai possess that can rival the power of the gods.

And the reason why such a powerful youkai would cling to an ordinary human like Takeya Takasaka is really incredible.

After all, aside from the obvious superpowers, Takeshi Takasaka is also a complete human being who can be seen everywhere in the human world.

Speaking of which, even the previous shrine maidens didn't know, because since the first time Yakumo Murasaki tried to kidnap Takeya, she had intervened to stop it, and for her, it was their job for youkai to capture humans, and it was the witch's job to stop them.

So for a whole year, the first generation of witches and Yakumo Zi clashed countless times, but from beginning to end, the first generation of witches didn't know what the other party was for.

In fact, to be honest, Yakumo Purple herself doesn't know very well why it became like this.

At first it was an accident, then a surprise, and finally a move driven by complete curiosity.

As I said before, Yakumo Purple is a monster that manipulates the realm, which is the so-called realm monster, and it is not clear how many kinds of monsters have the ability in this world, but there is only one monster that can manipulate the power of the realm.

And her dedication to Takeya is also very simple.

Because it's too similar.

It's so similar.

Since Takeya Takasaka inexplicably appeared in Gensokyo, she hasn't actually paid much attention to this human, because although the example of entering Gensokyo through dreams is special, it is nothing in the end.

Although Gensokyo has been isolated from the outside world by an enchantment, it is still geographically continuous, and in the language of the realm, the realm of the enchantment depends on the outside world and creates Gensokyo logically.

Over the years, there have been many people who have entered Gensokyo by chance, and Takeshi Takasaka is at most a special case, that is, because the way he entered is more special.

This was Yakumo's initial opinion, but she soon realized that something was wrong.

Takeya Takasaka, an ordinary human being, seems to be set up, and can often enter Gensokyo through dreams, but what surprises her even more is that when Takeshi Takasaka also appeared in Gensokyo, the enchantment of Gensokyo did not move at all.

No matter how weak a human or how powerful a youkai is, once you enter Gensokyo, the outer barrier will inevitably move, like throwing a stone into the surface of a lake, no matter how small the stone is, there will always be ripples.

But Takeya Takasaka was different, and in the same way he appeared, without warning, he appeared at the Hakurei Shrine, and the barrier did not move, as if he had existed there in the first place.

From then on, she became curious about Takeya Takasaka, a young human, but that curiosity soon turned into surprise.

Takeshi Takasaka also made himself appear in Gensokyo by dreaming, but all his actions mean that he does not exist here as a ghost in a dream.

All the time spent in Gensokyo will remain in his mind like normal memories, and even he will feel tired, hungry, faint when frightened, and injured if attacked.

But if he is seriously injured, he will "wake up" in the outside world as if he was really dreaming.

The Shrine Maiden's fist hit him, and he returned to the outside world with his injuries.

Reimu's barrage enchantment fell on him, but he was unscathed, just "woke up".

His existence resembles both a human living in Gensokyo and a dream ghost simply passing by.

It is not so much that Takeya Takasaka, a human being, has been manipulated with the realm of existence itself, but rather that he himself is the embodiment of a realm.

The realm of the real and the unreal.

If it weren't for the fact that it could be confirmed that Takeshi Takasaka was indeed a human who had been born and raised in the outside world for more than ten years, there would be a second existence in this world outside of Yakumo Zizhen that could play with the realm.

But even so, it can't dampen her curiosity about Takeya Takasaka himself.

"It's like a ghost in the night, who doesn't know his true identity."

This is something that no one knows, and Yakumo Murasaki is the only evaluation given by the human Takeya Takasaka.
