"Since we want to start with the mutation, it's just a matter of short-term, but in the long run, this matter can't be delayed any longer."

The monster sage looked at Roland with a serious expression.

"It's almost time to find a new shrine maiden."

"A new shrine maiden?"

Roland pondered this sentence, thoughtfully.

Having built a simulated universe based on Gensokyo, he naturally understands the essence of this place.

Using a small piece of the present land as the basis in the way of secretly enclosing the land, the realm of Yakumo Purple is turning this reality into a mirror-like existence, forming a fantasy opposite to the real world, so as to eliminate the interference and invasion of the outside world.

Although Yakumo Murasaki's ability is a great contribution, it is still not the key to the formation of Gensokyo.

Covering the entire Gensokyo, isolating common sense from extraordinary knowledge and turning it into a relatively independent Hakurei Great Enchantment, which is the root of everything.

Because it's something that youkai can't do anyway.

Using the ability of the realm to survive can blind people for a while, but as the human beings in the outside world become more and more prosperous, people will sooner or later see through this layer of camouflage and re-inflict the fate of extinction on the anomaly.

If there were no separate Hakurei Barrier from the present world, this paradise would be nothing more than a castle in the sky.

But it's okay to use a veil like the realm, but this kind of behavior of using the world itself is absolutely not tolerated, and even if the youkai have the ability to build an enchantment, they will only suffer a precise blow from the moment they start to act.

Therefore, the enchantment is destined to be built only by humans, and considering its strength and scope, this human must also have a very strong spiritual talent.

"Has the power of Bori started to change? What about the current shrine maiden? ”

Yakumo, who had already expected Roland to ask this, nodded.

"Although she is still holding on, it is getting more and more difficult, and she has repeatedly conveyed to me the idea of retiring, and soon we should call her the first shrine maiden."

"This kind of node...... Accidents and tomorrow really don't know who will come first. ”

Roland frowned.

The aftermath of that battle didn't expect to be fed back to him in such a way.

The people who are qualified to inherit the name of the Hirori Shrine Maiden are the kind of geniuses who have the talent of spiritual power that is unique in ten thousand, and they are also the ones who are closely watched in the world.

Otherwise, the duty of retiring monsters and mutations will not be one of the fixed responsibilities of the witch at all, you know, when the previous witch held this position, the more gentle spell card rules had not yet been established, and her gold content did not need to be said at all.

Even if they didn't break through the boundaries and become immortals, they could easily reach the limit of human lifespan.

But counting the ancestors who have not yet retired, the Hakurei shrine maiden has gone through twelve generations, and on average, the time spent in each generation is not even comparable to that of many ordinary family patriarchs.

And what makes all this happen is the power of Boli.

Yakumo Zi waved his robe, causing the black and white orb hidden in it to slowly float into the air under the power of the realm.

"As for the state of the power of Hakurei, you might as well confirm it yourself."

Roland stared intently at the yin-yang jade in the air.

It is the biggest secret treasure of Hakurei Shrine and the best proof of identity of Hakurei shrine maiden.

This thing is just a prop made by the day after tomorrow, but even Yakumo Murasaki, who is a monster sage, does not dare to touch it without permission, precisely because of the power contained in it.

The power of Bo Li, this is the power of being one with the Great Enchantment of Bo Li, even ordinary people who don't know anything can get its recognition, and they can also become strong and feel the realm where heaven and earth are all the same.

Otherwise, even if the future generations of shrine maidens are extremely talented, relying only on the spiritual power of decades of cultivation, it would be too exaggerated to be recognized by those youkai who have lived for thousands of years, and even suppress them in battle.

And the source of this power comes from the creator of this heaven and earth.

"The First Shrine Maiden ......"

Yakumo sighed, "Until now, she is still guarding Gensokyo in another way. ”

In the era of human reason, the first Hakurei shrine maiden already had great power, and her talent was not yet fully explored.

If this development continues, the other party will become the transcendent who leads the human race, and the last nail in the coffin board of the anomalies such as youkai will also be nailed to death.

But in the face of Yakumo Murasaki's ideal of allowing humans and youkai to coexist peacefully, the plan that even the youkai themselves scoffed at at the beginning, she still threw herself into it.

She doesn't have reverence or pity for youkai, and Yakumo can't even tell if the other party is protecting her homeland.

But what is certain is that she is full of enthusiasm for this wonderful ideal town, and really gives everything for it.

"The Great Enchantment of Boli is her legacy, this world is independent of the outside world, and has even been recognized by Lord Ryujin, with its own weather, environment, and humanity, it is another small world that exists in the inner side of this planet."

"Because her strength and her destiny have been truly engraved in this world."

Roland nodded slightly.

Although Yakumo Purple's particularity can allow the dragon god to descend, but to let it, as the will of the world, give this heaven and earth recognition and even protection, the chips that the monsters can give are not enough.

But the first shrine maiden could, because she was very similar to the previous Roland.

A person who is housed by the possibility.

It was never Murasaki Yakumo who found her, but she found Murasaki Yakumo.

The sheer possibilities of the first shrine maiden made it impossible for reason to interfere with her decisions, only to add variables.

For individuals, it is not easy to restrain such a huge possibility, and they must find a suitable means to maintain themselves, and the obsession of the first generation of witches is obviously Gensokyo.

She used her own possibilities to build this small world with a promising future, adding to the variables of the world, so the moment the Great Barrier of Boli was established, the dragon god would descend.

This is a tribute from the world.

"So, I have to keep my balance."

Yakumo said in a low voice.

As a monster sage, she didn't pay much attention to her kindred, and even took the initiative to find other sages, and acquiesced to the entry of multiple forces.

Because it's not a weird paradise.

Although the ancestors of the Hakurei shrine maiden also have great power, in addition to mutations, they will not use their own power to retreat those monsters that may pose a threat, and will even acquiesce to the entry and exit of small monsters or good anomalies in the human world.

Because this is not fertile ground for humanity.

"Gensokyo is Gensokyo, and no matter how many years it takes, it won't change anything."

"And this is also the requirement for the power of Hakuri to choose the shrine maiden, right?"

Roland interrupted Yakumo and whispered.

Strong spiritual talent is only the most basic condition, and this simple and consistent thought is the real difficulty in choosing the next witch.

"Yes, although the choice of the next shrine maiden is usually chosen by the sages, as long as it can be recognized by all the sages in this regard, it will be directly regarded as the next Hakurei shrine maiden."

For the Shrine Maiden of Hakurei, talent is secondary, and attitude is the key.

Because as long as she is recognized by the power of Bo Li, she can dominate this yin and yang jade, although she may not be as good as many monsters and anomalies in terms of hard power.

But as long as she is determined to win, then she will be the strongest, and even Yakumo Murasaki or a god stronger than her cannot change that.

In that state, the enemy's attacks on the Hakurei Shrine Maiden often missed, but her attacks on others always hit the weak spot by mistake or caused a huge increase.

As long as there is a possibility that something will happen, she will be corrected.

At that time, the Shrine Maiden of Hakurei was not so much an individual with a will, but a natural phenomenon that operated between heaven and earth.

Unless you have the power to go beyond the possibilities of this world, this will only be a matter of course.

"Great power always comes with risk," Yakumo Zi's good-looking face was also a little helpless, "Although the price is very small, it takes more effort to secure the person who has this purity than many cursed items." ”

Looking at Yakumo's wry smile, Roland could also imagine the hardships.

It is not difficult to find people with spiritual talents, but it is even more difficult to choose the best among them and find children with good natures.

And not only kindness, but also the simplicity of a child's heart, which will undoubtedly be more difficult.

Even if Yakumo Purple has a gap, he can still work together, which is not an easy thing.

Among humans, brutal wars often break out because of interests and disagreements, and this is especially true of youkai, which are very different from humans.

The conflicts between them, big and small, are enough to make people doubt life.

In these conflicts, sometimes humans are the victims, sometimes youkai are the victims, and even the origin of the conflict is likely to be just a small desire to survive.

It is difficult to be untouched by this red dust and fireworks, and to always treat humans and youkai equally, and to maintain an attitude that is not very interested, or even indifferent, in both.

And in the case of understanding this, you must not lose the goodness of your nature, and you must always practice the duties of a shrine maiden.

Monsters who violate the rules are not asked for reason, and they will all be retired.

Give the least help to human beings who have crossed the boundary, and do not eliminate all evil.

"One wrong step will turn black, in a sense, this level can no longer be called the heart of a child, but the heart of the Tao is clear...... It's really hard for you. ”

Roland couldn't help but laugh.

"The hard work is not here," Yakumo Zi smiled bitterly and continued, "Even if such a suitable candidate is found, in the process of becoming familiar with the power of Hakurei, their own talents will be developed to the greatest extent, and when this change exceeds the tolerance range of Hakurei's power, it is the moment when the previous witch begins to retire." ”

Hearing this, Roland took a deep breath and understood the reason why the previous witch was unable to take on her duties.

The power of Hakuri is not a will, or a backup means of rebirth, but all the power of this heaven and earth that will grow on its own.

While helping generations of Hakurei shrine maidens, it is also improving itself with the help of shrine maidens' hands.

This process of direct sympathy with heaven and earth will allow the already talented Hakurei shrine maiden to realize her potential at the fastest and best speed.

And when the speed of power ascension reaches their own limits, the sublimation beyond humanity will appear on its own, and they will gradually lose their human form and become a higher life form.

And unlike normal cultivation, this process cannot be stopped.

It is a gift from heaven and earth all the time, unless they abandon this duty.

And when the part of them that belongs to the human body is getting weaker and weaker, and is judged by the power of Hakuri to be a possible change, it is time to find the next shrine maiden.

"Originally, it should be some time before the ancestors retire, but because of your entry, Gensokyo's potential seems to have changed a lot, causing her to grow at an astonishing rate, and she is about to reach her limit."

Yakumo Zi twisted her delicate body slightly, so that the infinitely beautiful body was displayed in a more natural posture, and looked at Roland faintly.

“……”

Roland stared blankly and turned his head.

Can he be blamed for this?

With only this dream left, he is already weak and can't be weak anymore, isn't it normal to let the environment adapt to himself without affecting the current ecology of Gensokyo?

This kind of oolong of doing bad things with good intentions is really beyond his expectations.

"It's not your responsibility to do that, but I'm helpless to find the shrine maiden." Yakumo's face was a little solemn.

"The heart is simple, the appearance is the same, and the talent is extremely high, even if these people are in the world, the number is pitiful, and even more so now."

"Although we are paying attention all the time, but until this moment we still haven't found a suitable person, we thought it was our bad luck, but now it seems that this seems to be the effect of the stagnation of the possibility of the world in your mouth?"

"Hmm......"

Roland groaned, not denying it.

Each generation of newborns is a mixture of old possibilities and new possibilities, as has been the case with those who have done great things throughout history.

In a situation where the world has come to a standstill, although the existence allowed by Roland can still give birth to new life, it is only from the old possibilities.

There will be geniuses among the characters born in this way, but it is almost impossible to give birth to such people who can perform miracles.

But the power of the Hakurei witch is the confidence of Yakumo Purple to let the changes go and even contribute to the trouble behind the scenes.

Anything that really involves Gensokyo, the shrine maiden who is the spokesperson will turn the tide in her intuition in the dark, so that the mutation will always end in a happy ending.

Without the support of the shrine maiden, there will be a lack of conditions for the Gensokyo Paradise Project.

The most direct is the unconscious hypnotic ability that can make everyone forget the effects of the mutation and treat it as inappropriate.

If she can't be determined, she won't be able to rest assured that her future plans will be carried out.

Roland pondered for a while, and suddenly glanced at the yin and yang jade in front of him, looking at the strange rhythm of black and white, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted himself confidently.

"It's okay, isn't it the new Hakurei shrine maiden? Watch me and this guy build one for you! ”

Hearing such words, the interested expression on Yakumo's face, who was still looking forward to what kind of means Roland would use, completely disappeared.

She glanced at the circling ball in the air, then at the humanoid Roland, and glanced at his lower abdomen, completely stunned.

"Huh?"
