"Wushang Daozi? Why are you here?"

Izanami's expression was full of astonishment.

Not only Izanami, but even the three demon kings had faces full of disbelief at this moment.

They have been guarding here since Amaterasu returned to the sacred tree.

Because the barrier set up by Amaterasu resists all living things, they can only abandon their demon bodies and place their true spirits in the medium.

But even though they were guarding here day and night, they had no idea how Shen Yuan came to Amaterasu Shrine.

Shen Yuan looked down at Izanami with a smile on his face, and said casually:
"The reason is simple, because this is my home."

"Your home?"

Izanami's face was full of confusion, and the nine-tailed fox at the bottom of the stairs seemed to suddenly remember something. Its pupils suddenly contracted and an unprecedented look of loss of composure appeared on its face.

"Y-It's you?"

Shen Yuan's gaze fell on the nine-tailed fox and he nodded approvingly.

"The little fox is indeed insightful, but after ten thousand years, his cultivation has not improved much."

Shuten-doji asked anxiously, "Tamamonomae, do you know him? Who is he?"

Tamamonomae hurriedly lowered her head, her body trembling and she dared not look directly into Shen Yuan's eyes.

In the face of Shuten-doji's doubts, he only responded intermittently:

"Ten thousand years ago, during the war between demons and monsters, a sacred tree was planted!"

Shuten-doji and Daitengu were both stunned, and then looked horrified.

With just a slight reminder, the scene of Shen Yuan fighting with them ten thousand years ago immediately emerged in their memories.

The Qigong cultivator from ten thousand years ago was exactly the same as the Shen Yuan in front of him.

Although Shen Yuan's cultivation was low at that time, he was able to use his own strength to influence the world and change the future direction of Yingzhou.

Especially the battle with the Eyes of Dusk, in the end he used his supreme power to confer Amaterasu, creating the Lord of Takama-ga-hara who ruled Yingzhou for ten thousand years.

In the hearts of the three demon kings, their reverence for Shen Yuan is even greater than that for Amaterasu.

However, Shen Yuan has not appeared in the world for thousands of years, and few people in the entire Yingzhou know of Shen Yuan's existence.

And now in this Amaterasu Shrine, Shen Yuan appeared again. After the initial shock, the three demon kings immediately showed ecstasy on their faces.

"Welcome back!"

"As great as you are, you will surely be able to suppress this disaster in Yingzhou!"

"The person behind this is Izanami. Your Majesty, please kill her!"

Izanami was completely stunned by the change in attitude of the three demon kings.

She glanced at the wooden house that Shen Yuan walked out of, as well as the words spoken by the three demon kings, and the doubt in her eyes gradually turned into fear.

"Are you really the father of the gods who planted the Sun and Moon Sacred Tree and conferred the title of Amaterasu Omikami?"

Above the dome, the few remaining green branches slowly hung down from the sky and lingered around Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan did not respond, but the attitude shown by the sacred tree had already told Izanami the truth.

At this moment, Izanami finally understood why the Susanoo she gave birth to could not sit on the throne of the sacred tree and inherit the authority of Takama-ga-hara.

To put it bluntly, what Susanoo possesses is the inheritance right second only to Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi, and he can inherit the authority of Takama-ga-hara without any external interference.

But when discussing the right of inheritance, Izanami overlooked an extremely important factor, that is, the will of the Lord of Creation who created the sacred tree and Takamagahara.

Shen Yuan was the source of the Yingzhou pantheon and the god above all gods who were conferred upon Amaterasu. When Shen Yuan did not recognize Susanoo's right of succession, it was of no avail even if Izanami pushed Susanoo as the first successor.

Just like the secular dynasties fighting for the throne, even if a prince has the advantage, once the emperor denies his inheritance rights, all his efforts will be in vain unless the prince has the power to overthrow the existing order.

Obviously, today's Izanami and Susanoo are not qualified to change the underlying order of Shintoism.

Susanoo's cries still echoed in Amaterasu Shrine, but Izanami had no time to pay attention to them at this moment.

Without the recognition of the sacred tree and Takama-ga-hara, even if Susanoo has potential comparable to Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, it will be of no use in the current situation.

Susanoo no longer has the opportunity to grow, and to Izanami, he has lost his true value.

Shen Yuan walked towards Izanami step by step, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After getting some key information from the Judge of Life and Death, Shen Yuan chose to return to Yingzhou as soon as possible.

He first went to several ghost towns outside Heian-kyo, used the great magical power of returning wind and fire to freeze time and secretly killed all the ghosts in the underworld, and then came to Amaterasu Shrine in the core area of ​​Takama-ga-hara in advance.

Amaterasu Shrine is a forbidden area that is difficult for outsiders to approach, but for Shen Yuan, there is no obstacle at all, just like the front door of his home that he can enter and exit at will.

After entering the Amaterasu Shrine, Shen Yuan sensed the presence of the three demon kings. However, he used his magical powers to mobilize the power of incense and Shinto to cover up, and the three demon kings did not notice Shen Yuan's arrival.

Shen Yuan took this opportunity to return to the cabin next to the throne of the sacred tree, quietly waiting for Izanagi and Izanami to come to him.

Things turned out just as Shen Yuan had expected. Huang Quan and Liangsaka lost contact, which made Izanagi and Izanami confused and had to take action in a hurry.

Shen Yuan witnessed the birth of Susanoo, and denied his succession rights just before he was about to inherit the power of Takama-ga-hara, completely shattering Izanami's plan.

Although everything is under control, Shen Yuan is still quite interested in Izanami.

Of course, Shen Yuan was not targeting Izanami herself, but the words Izanami said before she gave birth to Susanoo.

Izanami once mentioned that in another history where she did not save Yingzhou, Yingzhou was destroyed by the will of the heaven and earth of the Xuanhuang Realm.

At this time, the gods of the twilight world descended in the destruction and blessed Izanagi and Izanami, allowing the two to create Takama-ga-hara to continue the existence of Yingzhou.

In the eyes of others, Izanami's words were complete nonsense, but Shen Yuan didn't think so.

He was ten thousand years late in his time travel, and finally corrected the original history by traveling back ten thousand years ago. With the help of the great supernatural power of Tiangang, the only person in the world, he completed the loop and made it become real history.

But outside of this real history, there is another history in which Shen Yuan does not exist.

Shen Yuan was not sure whether this period of history had been completely erased or had become an illusory tributary in the long river of history.

But the only thing that is certain is that there must be information related to the former Luoyun Sect in that period of history, which may involve the secret of Shen Yuan's time travel and the truth behind the artificial intelligence system.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan became more and more curious.

"I can give you a chance to live."

Shen Yuan spoke softly, his voice was calm but contained a will that could not be refused. Izanami did not speak, but just looked at Shen Yuan cautiously.

"Tell me the origin of the true history you mentioned.

As a price, I will suppress you in the new Yomi Hirasaka, and you will be responsible for leading the dead souls into reincarnation."

Izanami said sarcastically, "Trapped as a prisoner in Yomi Hirasaka?"

"That's better than being completely destroyed."

Izanami was silent, with a hint of struggle in her eyes.

She knew very well that the moment Susanoo lost his inheritance rights, she would no longer have any chance.

Although she has reached the Hedao realm, any of the three demon kings is not inferior to her. What's more, Shen Yuan, the god above gods, was able to confer Amaterasu ten thousand years ago, and ten thousand years later he single-handedly destroyed Yomi Hirasaka where the Judge of Life and Death was stationed.

Even if all the gods of Takama-ga-hara were added together, they would not be a match for Shen Yuan.

The prisoner conditions proposed by Shen Yuan seem harsh at the moment, but it is precisely because of their harshness that they are credible.

If Shen Yuan claimed that he would let her stay in Takama-ga-hara as long as she told the truth, Izanami would doubt his authenticity.

Just as Shen Yuan said, being a prisoner is much better than dying completely.

After taking a deep look at Shen Yuan, Izanami said softly:
"I hope to be able to enter Yomi Hirasaka with Susanoo."

"no problem."

Shen Yuan agreed immediately.

Izanami did not mention Izanagi, and Shen Yuan did not ask.

Both sides knew that the rebellion in Takamagahara needed a person to take charge, and there was no doubt that Izanagi was the most suitable candidate.

Shen Yuan will not allow Izanagi to continue to exist, and Izanami also needs to abandon Izanagi as a pawn to give an explanation to Amaterasu.

In the tacit understanding without words, Izanagi's fate was already determined.

"In the first thousands of years, Amaterasu bestowed upon Izanagi and me, and then created Takamagahara.

Izanagi and I are grateful for Amaterasu's enthronement and have offered our all to her. I even think that this loyalty will last forever."

Izanami's face showed a hint of reminiscence.

“But during the last spiritual energy tide three thousand years ago, an accident still happened.

Ever since Amaterasu Omikami was born and took over the world of Yingzhou ten thousand years ago, the Moon Goddess has fallen into a state of "malnutrition" and has never been able to successfully come to the world.

For this reason, Amaterasu Omikami searched all over the world of Xuanhuang, collecting a huge amount of natural treasures to offer to the sacred tree, hoping that the Moon God would be successfully born.

During the time that Amaterasu was away, Izanagi was in charge of managing Takamagahara, and I was guarding the sacred tree to prevent any accidents from happening to the Moon Goddess."

"One day, I suddenly felt an unprecedented will descending upon Takamagahara, and a strange memory came to me.

In that memory, I saw a history that was completely different from this time and space. Izanagi and I created Takama-ga-hara and gave birth to three sons, becoming the mother of all gods in the Yingzhou pantheon.

The history I experienced was a wrong history that was forcibly revised. A strange will wanted to correct everything and return to the correct historical trajectory.

Under the influence of that will, I followed my heart and tried to seize the authority of Takama-ga-hara."

As Izanami slowly spoke, the entire Amaterasu Shrine fell into an eerie silence, with only Izanami's voice echoing in the palace.

The expressions of the three demon kings suddenly changed, and they subconsciously looked at Shen Yuan and Izanami.

But Izanami was still immersed in her own story, and Shen Yuan seemed oblivious to what was happening around him.

“Ten years ago, when the spiritual energy tide just revived, I began to take the initiative to plan.

I first collected the remnants of the great war between demons and monsters ten thousand years ago, and secretly contaminated the Moon Goddess Fruit, forcing Amaterasu Omikami to expend a great deal of energy to suppress the pollution of the sacred tree.

In the following years, Huangquan rioted one after another, the underworld eroded Yingzhou and used it as a springboard to invade Xuanhuang Realm.

I realized the opportunity and took the initiative to step into Yomi Hirasaka to trade with the Tenth King of Hell, and obtained the power of the Tenth King of Hell to help me conceive Susanoo. "

As she spoke, Izanami waved her right hand lightly, and five Yama seals appeared in front of her.

At this moment, the five Yama seals had already dimmed, and the power of incense and Shintoism and the authority of the underworld contained in them were all extracted by Izanami to give birth to Susanoo.

Shen Yuan could sense that the five Yamas had left a trace of residual thoughts in the Yama Seal. If Susanoo could really ascend to the throne of God, Yama could use the Yama Seal to interfere with Susanoo. What Izanami did was to prepare wedding dresses for the Ten Yama Lords.

However, Izanami failed at the last minute, and the Ten Kings of Hell's back-up plan lost its value.

"Just after Amaterasu Omikami fought back against the backlash of heaven and earth and repelled the projection of the Yellow Spring tributary, the pollution in the sacred tree erupted again. Once the sacred tree is completely polluted, the Moon Goddess, Takama-ga-hara, and even the entire Yingzhou will be doomed.

Amaterasu had no choice but to return to the sacred tree to suppress the pollution, which gave me the opportunity today."

Listening to Izanami's story, Shen Yuan shook his head meaningfully and said:

"Just that?"

Izanami frowned slightly: "Do you want to break your oath?"

"No, no, no! You told me the information I wanted to know, and I have no interest in killing you.

I'm just curious, do you know the origin of that unknown will?"

The doubt in Izanami's eyes deepened: "That will should be related to the Twilight Realm."

"Your guess is correct, but you don't realize that the unknown will has always been by your side."

Izanami was stunned for a moment, and then infinite fear suddenly rose in her eyes.

"puff!"

The branches of the sacred tree that had hung down at some point pierced through Izanami's body. Susanoo let out a mad cry, stood up from the ground and threw himself towards the branches of the sacred tree.

However, the next moment, the branch pierced through the young body again.

Izanami struggled to raise her arms and hugged the crying little body in front of her. Blood flowed upstream along the branches and spread to the ice-blue fruit.

In the fruit that has been silent for thousands of years, the will of the evening is quietly awakening.

Around the ice-blue fruit, the light of dusk slowly condensed into a body.

It was a female Bodhisattva coming in the moonlight, with the full moon behind her reflecting the pale silence.

"Moonlight Bodhisattva, I pay my respects to the Supreme Daoist!" (End of this chapter)
