Decayed and ruined, this place was nothing more than a deserted village. There was no sight of people. Even no animals could be found in the mountains. This place was the exact manifest of lifelessness.
If the deserted village below was dyed in black and white, then the land could only be marked in black.
“Are you sure this place is the root of the world’s turmoil which the Father God and Mother God mentioned?” Tsukuyomi frowned. “Sister Amaterasu, I remember that Takiribime under you did not mention it during the discussion earlier. This place is dead.”
Amaterasu Omikami’s expression turned slightly dignified, “I also found it baffling. But, Father and Mother God said that there must be no mistake. I’ll send the first troops to investigate.”
“Sure.” Susanoo agreed without saying a word.
He couldn’t care less. He had always adhered to the supremacy of brutal force. If there was any dissatisfaction, he could directly suppress it with violence. In the face of powerful forces, any plot would be inadequate. Hence, he waved his hand directly. A team of hundreds of demons instantly rushed forward.
Tsukuyomi said indifferently at this time, “These demons only know how to fight, so I’m afraid they aren’t fit for investigation. Let my subordinates do the work.”
Tsukuyomi waved his hand naturally but only sent ten demon beasts who reincarnated in Nightland. Of course, he took the elite troop route; these ten reincarnated demon beasts were not inferior to a team with hundreds of demons. Moreover, their mobility was superior.
“Count me in. Treat it as a joint investigative force.” Amaterasu Omikami spoke slowly at this time. Her delicate hand also waved. Behind her, dozens of deities promoted from sentient beings fell directly into this ruin.
Very few among the eight million deities of Takamagahara had high combat power. On average, the deities could not even defeat an ordinary demon under Susanoo. However, the power in its number did make up the gap of their weakness.
At this time, the three parties had joined their forces. These demons, deities, and reincarnated demon beasts knew that they were acting under the gaze of their respective Deity Lords, so naturally, they did not dare to be careless. This was more so in the case of demons that was used to their wild nature. They were pretty alerted.
“There’s nothing special. It’s just a pile of broken stones and houses.” One of the demons quickly became impatient and punched a collapsing wall with his fist, instantly smashing the wall into pieces.
“Hey, where did the fog come from?” But at this time, one of the Earthbound Spirits under Amaterasu frowned.
Such shouting made the joint forces vaguely feel something was wrong. They all looked up and saw that the sky above them was shrouded in dense fog. In the blink of an eye, the gray fog had already covered everything!
The same situation was not only discovered by the three-party joint forces but also by the Three Deities, who were spectating in the sky.
Watching the joint forces in the thick fog that suddenly appeared, Susanoo snorted directly/ He waved his palm, turned into a saber, and slashed towards the thick fog below him without saying a word.
The heavy air current, with a frantic whistling wind, cut directly on the thick gray fog. It broke apart the thick fog instantly!
However, the thick fog that was broken apart had gathered again. Susanoo’s attack seemed to have been submerged in the water, affecting nothing.
“Fujin [1]!” Amaterasu Omikami made a move at this moment.
Among the Takamagahara Eight Million Deities behind her, a towering figure with a fierce face and a small drum in the harness flew out. He summoned a violent wind, blowing towards the dense fog below!
“It can’t even be blown apart!” Tsukuyomi frowned secretly at this moment. If Fujin under Amaterasu could not disperse the thick fog, it was naturally not a regular thick fog!
Tsukuyomi’s pupils in both eyes had a drastic change. They turned into a spiral pattern as he looked straight on the thick fog! The more he watched, the more frightened he became. His face sank directly, and he said solemnly, “Sister Amaterasu, this weird thick fog could disguise itself in the face of my pupils. This is weird!”
“Tsukuyomi, even you…” Susanoo was taken aback, then fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, Amaterasu Omikami made a move that surprised both Susanoo and Tsukuyomi. Amaterasu Omikami, in front of him, ordered all the Takamagahara deities to plunge directly into the thick mist!
Eight Million Deities was just a title. If Takamagahara continued to exist, they could achieve this number one day. After all, everything could ascend. But not now. The ‘Eight Million Deities’ could only make up tens of thousands now.
But still, tens of thousands was a considerable number. Although this thick fog was peculiar, it did not occupy a large area. It was impossible to accommodate these tens of thousands of ‘Eight Million Deities.’
“Tsukuyomi, Susanowo, help me. Don’t be a bystander!” Amaterasu Omikami snorted, “This is related to the safety of Yan Wuyue. Stop dwelling on your benefits. Otherwise, when the Father God and Mother God made punishments, even us can’t shoulder it!”
Susanowo was another name for Susanoo, but he did not like others calling him that way. At this time, Amaterasu yelled out without any scruples, causing Susanoo’s face under the ghostly helmet to twitch. But he also knew the stakes within, so he snorted directly. He commanded swiftly, “Head out, my demons!”
Seeing this, Tsukuyomi then ordered his reincarnation demon beast and reincarnation samurai to go down together. He did not believe that this tiny bit of fog could swallow all the subordinates brought by Three Deities!
Roar!
The sky-shaking momentum made those ‘Eight Million Deities,’ demon, reincarnated samurai, and reincarnated demon beast rush into the thick fog frantically.
With such a massive lineup, the Three Deities’ subordinates were also filled with confidence, but they gradually discovered that things might not be as simple as they imagined!
The number rushing into the thick fog was increasing frantically, but the thick fog right now had not changed at all! When the number of troops beyond the stride entered the thick fog, many of the ‘deities from the Takamagahara suddenly hesitated and stopped abruptly outside the dense fog. Then, there came the reincarnated samurai and reincarnated demon beast under Tsukuyomi.
After a while, even the famously reckless demon discovered something wrong. They also stopped one after another with their eyes widened, looking at the other two forces under the Three Deities. They were viciously waving their hands as if to say: I’m not stupid!
“Presumptuous! Does the Deity Lord ask you to stop!?”
Suddenly, Amaterasu Omikami’s extremely sharp voice rang all around!
This Amaterasu Omikami ruled Takamagahara. She grasped the real name of all the ‘Eight Million Deities’ as well.
Their life and death were at the mercy of Amaterasu Omikami’s simple thoughts!
At this moment, even if the dense fog in front of them was hazardous, they still had to rush into it. After all, rushing into the vicious fog offered unknown dangers, but death might not be their only fate. Disobeying Amaterasu Omikami’s order would crumble their real name.
“March forward! For Deity Lord!”
Someone among the ‘Eight Million Deities’ yelled. The Takamagahara’s troops immediately recuperated their momentum. They were like provoked bees from the hive and rushed into the thick fog frantically.
“Tsukuyomi, Susanowo! Don’t hold back! This is all for the Yan Wuyue world created by Father God and Mother God!” Amaterasu Omikami said sternly at this time, “Could it be that you still can’t feel the crazy changes in the power of the world? Our Three Deities position has already become precarious!”
Accompanied by Amaterasu Omikami’s words, the entire sky suddenly trembled—the earth also began to shake at this moment!
“Unexpectedly, the world has changed!” Tsukuyomi’s heart was shaken at the moment. His face turned ugly at every next moment!
Only Three Deities knew the so-called divine position, and only Three Deities could sense it. In the Yan Wuyue world, this was the true divine position – the basis for Three Deities to dominate the world! Takamagahara had beings claiming to be the deities. However, it was just a trick made by Amaterasu Omikami. It had the power to intimidate, but it was not much useful!
“Who is shaking the world rules?” Susanoo, who had always been known for his bravery, was also terrified at this moment. A sense of horror akin to hanging on the cliff made his heart palpitate!
“Demon! Head down! Fill up this thick fog!”
At the moment, Susanoo no longer hesitated! If these demons were dead, he could still recuperate his forces slowly in the future. However, if the world did change, Susanoo might no longer exist!
“Reincarnated demon beast and reincarnated samurai, fight for glory!” Tsukuyomi looked solemn at the moment. His spiral pupils glowed with a strange light!
