Traveling through time 1 years late, I was forced to become a powerful person

"Yingzhou has no Moon God?"

Shen Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and a storm was already brewing in his heart.

In the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda Gate Trial ten thousand years ago, Shen Yuan personally planted the Sun and Moon Divine Tree to nurture the sun and the moon. His real purpose was to use the sun and the moon nurtured by this divine tree to regain control of the order of heaven and earth.

The Eye of Dusk realized that the nascent sun and moon would pose a threat to him, so he launched a war against Shen Yuan in advance, trying to destroy the Sun and Moon Sacred Tree.

In order to fight against the Eyes of Dusk, Shen Yuan had no choice but to ripen the sun first, and then confer the sun as a god to seize the authority of order between heaven and earth.

After the chaos was quelled in this battle, the sun turned into Amaterasu and sat above the kingdom of God, ruling over Yingzhou. Only the moon was still in the process of being conceived.

Although Shen Yuan did not personally deify this moon, as the lord of heaven and earth and the lord of the pantheon of Amaterasu at that time, he was fully qualified to deify the moon.

Strictly speaking, the sun, moon, and moon that Shen Yuan planted at the same time with the help of the order of heaven and earth, even though their status is not as high as Amaterasu, they are still superior gods after Amaterasu, the lord of the pantheon, and their status is even far higher than the two main gods Izanagi and Izanami.

Such a deity is enough to leave a significant mark in the pantheon of Yingzhou, but Yu Zhuanjin claimed that there was no Moon God in Yingzhou.

If other new gods born in the future said such words, Shen Yuan would only think that the moon he planted died prematurely and did not survive ten thousand years later.

However, Mitsuko was enlightened as a deity not long after Amaterasu became a deity. She is one of the oldest gods and even possesses some memories of when Amaterasu was still in her gestation.

Even the ancient Yuzhuanjin denied the existence of the Moon God of Yingzhou, and did not even mention the sacred tree giving birth to the moon. This immediately made Shen Yuan realize that something was wrong.

Shen Yuan opened his lips slightly, and was about to ask directly about the whereabouts of the moon born from the sacred tree, but the words stopped at his lips.

Above the Dharma of the Great Dao, the mysterious cause and effect told Shen Yuan that if he directly asked about the whereabouts of the moon in this land ruled by the gods of Yingzhou, it would very likely attract the perception of some unknown existence.

The next moment, a phantom that was standing above the dimension leaned over and looked at the main hall. A big hand reached down from the higher dimension and easily erased the inquiry from Yu Zhuanjin's memory.

The brief memory gap made Yu Zhuanjin stand still. Only Shen Yuan spoke slowly and nonchalantly:

"It has been thousands of years since the sacred tree in Takamagahara gave birth to the sun. Why hasn't it turned into a god yet?"

Shen Yuan's words made Yu Zhuanjin's body shudder suddenly, and he recovered from his brief loss of consciousness.

Looking at Shen Yuan again, Yu Zhuanjin humbly said:

"Amaterasu Omikami also tried to enlighten the sacred tree and confer it a divine title.

However, the divine tree needs a huge amount of resources to enlighten its spiritual wisdom. No matter how much natural treasures, incense and faith are provided to the divine tree, it will accept them all, but it is still unable to successfully open its spiritual wisdom.

The sacred tree grew stronger and stronger, and even completely merged with Takama-ga-hara, and the difficulty of enlightening its spiritual intelligence also increased.

In the end, even Amaterasu gave up trying to enlighten the sacred tree, and it was left to grow naturally. "

Shen Yuan nodded expressionlessly and waved his right hand lightly:
"Go back!"

Yu Zhuanjin was a little confused, but he still respectfully left Luoyun Temple with a rice ear in his mouth and disappeared among the mountains and forests.

As Yu Zhuanjin left, Shen Yuan's originally calm expression suddenly turned gloomy.

When Yuzenjin said these words about Amaterasu enlightening the sacred tree, even she herself did not realize that there was a huge loophole hidden in it.

No one understands the nature of the sacred tree better than Shen Yuan.

The so-called sacred tree is essentially just the body of a tree demon. Shen Yuan wiped out the tree demon's consciousness and borrowed its body to give birth to the sun and the moon.

The sacred tree is only a medium connecting heaven and earth. It is not some noble innate divine object. It is only a matter of thought to use Amaterasu's status to enlighten its spiritual wisdom.

Therefore, Amaterasu does not need to consume a large amount of natural treasures, incense, and faith to support the sacred tree.

Amaterasu could only have one purpose for doing this, and that was to make up for the moon's congenital malnutrition so that the moon could be born smoothly.

Someone modified the gods' cognition and erased the existence of the moon, but could not erase a lot of information related to the sacred tree, as well as the whereabouts of those natural treasures, incense and beliefs.

These traceable traces could lead to the truth being exposed, so the mastermind behind the scenes subtly modified the gods' cognition, making them mistakenly believe that these resource consumption were all for the enlightenment of the sacred tree.

Gods who don't know much about the sacred tree would never doubt its authenticity. Only Shen Yuan, who planted the sun and the moon with his own hands, could understand the loopholes in it.

"Finally. Has the truth been revealed?"

Shen Yuan's eyes gradually became deep, and the gaze of the great Dharma image sitting in a high dimension behind him seemed to be able to penetrate the various worlds of Yama and see the cause and effect truth of the past and the future.

Izanagi's attitude had already shown Shen Yuan that there must be a mastermind behind this Lord of Yingzhou, but Shen Yuan had always found it difficult to trace the clues.

Now involving the Moon of Yingzhou and the modified cognition of the gods, Shen Yuan finally got a glimpse of some truth.

Shen Yuan was not afraid of the powerful strength that the mastermind might possess. What really frightened him was the secret plan of the mastermind.

Now that he had discovered the traces, Shen Yuan had gained some confidence.

As the gaze of the Great Dao Dharma Image fell, countless stars intertwined in Shen Yuan's eyes. The big hand that interfered from the higher dimensions slowly moved the fog of history, and the great magical power of returning the wind and returning the fire had begun to evolve.

Shen Yuan wants to trace the cause and effect through time and find out the truth behind it.

"wrong!"

Suddenly, the movement of the Dao Dharma to clear away the fog of history paused, and Shen Yuan's eyes showed some hesitation.

“Behind Izanagi, there must be a high-ranking being above the fairyland, and it is not ruled out that he has even reached a celestial fairyland close to Amaterasu.

Interfering with cause and effect by using time will inevitably cause the other party to sense it, and thus alert the enemy in advance.

At present, the true means of the underworld have not yet been revealed. If we rashly trigger the mastermind behind the scenes, it will lead to more uncertainties in the future."

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan slowly withdrew his right hand that was clearing away the fog of history.

"Whatever! The mastermind who has been exposed before our eyes has lost his true threat."

"Next, just wait for the right time."

With the resumption of the path of cultivation and the gradual control of the Amaterasu priestesses over the world, the fortune of humanity has begun to grow rapidly, and the major cities outside of Heian-kyo have begun to gradually restore their proper production order.

The gods of Takamagahara argued among themselves endlessly, and as the influence of the faith in the gods gradually weakened, the fortune of Shinto began to decline.

As humanity flourishes, most people have gradually begun to forget the threats posed by the increasingly rare ghosts from the underworld.

No one knows that inside Yomi Hirasaka, countless Yomi ghosts are staring at the source of the Yomi tributary, the border between reality and illusion.

There, a majestic statue crossed the boundary between reality and illusion, and stretched most of its body toward Yomi Hirasaka.

An incomparable aura of terror continued to settle on this statue. The sky of Yomihirasaka was torn apart by the powerful pressure, and billions of ghosts and gods trembled under the statue.

This statue is the judge of life and death who crossed the boundary and descended upon Yomi Hirasaka.

The majestic eyes slowly opened, and the voice of the judge of life and death echoed like a bell in Yomi Hirasaka. "Not enough!"

Below the Judge of Life and Death, a ghost immortal who relied on the Yellow Springs tributary to maintain his state trembled and said:

"Your Excellency the Judge, the frequency of the projections of the Yellow Spring tributaries has greatly decreased in the past few months. It can no longer support the Yellow Spring battlefield. This is the limit of what we can do."

The Judge of Life and Death looked at the lower body that was still unable to break free from the boundary between reality and illusion, and said in a cold voice:

“You only need to capture ten cities with a population of one million and let the projection of Huangquan erode the area, and then I can finally descend.

No matter what method you use, it must be completed within seven days!"

The ghost fairy was horrified: "The large-scale projection of the Yellow Spring tributary may attract the sun."

The Judge of Life and Death laughed coldly: "How can such a great sun magical power be displayed easily?
Don't worry, part of my body has already arrived. Even if another great sun appears in the world, I can easily suppress it.

The seven days are not only my order, but also the decree of all the Yamas, so don't make the mistake! "

"In seven days, I will control the Yellow Springs tributary to destroy Takama-ga-hara and devour all life in the world!"

The ghost fairy gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice:
"Xiaoxian will obey the law!"

The ghost fairy stood up from the Yellow Spring tributary and looked at the billions of ghosts and gods in the Yellow Spring Hirasaka.

"The decree of the Yama Lords has been passed down. Open the projection of the Yellow Spring tributary and drag the present world into the Yellow Spring to welcome the coming of the Judge of Life and Death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless ghosts and gods let out terrified cries, echoing throughout the entire Yomiuri Hirasaka.

"Sacrifice lives! Sacrifice lives!"

"Kill kill kill kill kill kill!"

"We are going to Yantai to recruit our old subordinates. With a hundred thousand flags, we will slay the gods and demons!"

The Yellow Spring tributaries also stirred up huge waves at this moment, and dark clouds covered the entire land of Yingzhou in an instant. The Yellow Spring tributaries that had been hidden for several months finally reappeared.

Outside of Heian-kyo, the gates of several ghost towns opened wide, and millions of ghosts from the underworld poured out of the ghost towns and rushed towards Heian-kyo.

The gods of Takama-ga-hara had already noticed the unusual movements in the ghost town, and one after another, they descended to protect the area around Heian-kyo.

Above Takama-ga-hara, the gods looked at the countless ghosts from the underworld with a hint of relief in their eyes.

Jianyu Thunder God said bluntly: "There are only millions of low-level ghosts and six refined ghost gods. Do you think such a force can attack Heian-kyo?"

For these great gods, no matter how many low-level ghosts there are, they are of no avail. Only high-level ghosts and gods, or even ghost immortals, can truly decide the outcome of the battlefield.

As long as the ghosts and gods in the Hedao realm do not appear, Heian-kyo will be safe.

Another god looked at the land outside of Heian-kyo with a sharp gaze, and said with a slightly unpleasant expression:

“Heian-kyō is just a cover. Outside of Heian-kyō, I saw hundreds of projections of Yellow Spring tributaries. In some areas, there were even multiple projections of Yellow Spring.

A large number of ghosts are gathering to attack those cities."

Jianyu Thunder God sneered: "What does this have to do with us?"

Kagutsuchi also echoed: "They are just a bunch of ants. Since they have chosen to betray the gods, their life or death does not matter."

“Only after experiencing blood and life-and-death threats will they realize how precious the favor of the gods is.”

The gods remained silent, as if they agreed to the decision of Takemikaze and Kagutsuchi.

In Nara Castle, the warning bells had already spread throughout the city, and a large number of practitioners went to the top of the city wall defense line.

Dozens of miles outside the city gate, two tributaries of the Yellow Spring almost surrounded Nara City.

A large number of ghosts from the underworld filed out from it, densely occupying the entire land, and slowly advancing towards Nara City.

"One, two, three! There are too many ghost kings!"

"Open the protective barrier and notify all the major shrines! Notify the chief priestess!"

"It's over. The priests of the major shrines said that they can no longer communicate with the gods. Without the favor of the gods, they are powerless to fight against the Yellow Spring Ghost King."

"How could this be?"

Noisy voices rang out on the city walls, and the practitioners listened to the sad news with horror.

On the Yellow Springs ghost battlefield, relying on the power of gods is almost the only means to counter the Yellow Springs Ghost King. If the Yellow Springs Ghost King cannot be counterbalanced, even the most perfect defense line will collapse in front of the Ghost King.

The morale on the city wall plummeted, and even the bravest practitioners were panicked at this moment.

A ghost king of the underworld seemed to have sensed something strange in the city. He appeared and rushed onto the city wall, intending to start a massacre.

Neither the magic of the Onmyoji nor the swordsmanship of the samurai could harm this ghost king in the slightest. The gap in realm was widened to the limit at this moment.

The next moment, a stern voice rang out from the city.

"roll!"

The sword light carried the will of the scorching sun and slashed down, tearing one of the Ghost King's arms in an instant.

The Ghost King was terrified and wanted to escape, but he didn't know when the sky was already filled with talismans blocking the space there. The Yin and Yang Fire fell and burned the Ghost King to ashes.

An old samurai and an Onmyoji wearing a feather robe appeared on the city wall. They were none other than the Sword Saint Fujimoto and the Great Onmyoji Haruhara. At this moment, they both exuded the aura of the realm of spiritual refinement.

Behind them, there were several powerful spirit cultivators with floating auras rushing towards the battlefield.

These practitioners had already reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage without any Spirit Refining Methods, and were naturally people with extraordinary talents.

Now that I have acquired the method of refining the spirit, breaking through the realm of refining the spirit is a completely natural thing.

Among the priests and priestesses originally stationed in major cities, there is often only one who can borrow the power of the gods and exert the strength of the spirit refining realm.

However, these priests and priestesses are at best equivalent to two or three spirit-refining ghost kings. Their greatest role is to resist the attacks of the ghost kings with the help of other practitioners.

Although they have lost the help of the gods, they have gained more powerful spirit cultivators, and their role in the battlefield is far greater than before.

Such things not only happened in Nara City, but the method of refining the spirit had been promoted for several months, and there were treasures drawn by Shen Yuan himself that could help people comprehend the refining of the spirit, so that the land of Yingzhou, which had a population of hundreds of millions, had hundreds of more powerful spirit refiners.

These powerful soul-refining masters were stationed in various cities, and together with the three supreme gods, Leopard Tail, Black and White Impermanence, who could tear through space and send down support at any time, they miraculously resisted the first wave of attacks from the underworld ghosts.
