Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 229 Everything is ready
AD 823 was a rather special day here.

It is the time when the new emperor takes over the power and ascends to the throne, but it is also the time when the Fujiwara family completely secures its seat of power.

Because the mother of the new emperor is the direct daughter of the Fujiwara family, and the blood of the Fujiwara family flows in his body, it is natural that his rise to the throne is not accidental or other reasons, it is the work of the Fujiwara family.

However, this is the so-called historical trajectory. The history of the two time and space is different. As the only traveler, Shenyuan knew it early on. This was already proved when he met the Ping and Yuan families.

In another time and space, these two families did not appear so early. They were all families formed after the descendants of the royal family were given names. However, in this time and space, they had already appeared before them. The difference in time and space is evident.

But these are not important anymore. From the moment the divine source arrives, the trajectory of history is destined to change. Perhaps the long river running towards the sea is an unchangeable trend, but it is inevitable that the winding river course will be changed along the way. of.

It has been nearly twenty or thirty years since Shenyuan came to this strange time and space, Zhu Yancijinghuacishu...but he seems to be standing tall and motionless in the long river of time, just like everyone else The first appearance in memory.

Kensuo has changed into two bodies, and Mizuno Shiina, who has been serving him, has also lost her appearance as a girl. The people he knows have begun to grow older, Igarashi, Fujiwara Masanobu...

For the first time, Shen Yuanyi watched the "world" grow old like this. This was completely different from his growth in another time and space. The latter started from birth and was a warm rising sun, while the former witnessed the journey towards death. , is the sunset of silent light.

And judging from his current control over the technique, in a sense, he, like Ken Suo and Tian Yuan, can ignore some life span constraints to a certain extent. Maybe Shenyuan Yi can also live like this for a thousand years. .

Barriers all over the country have long been laid, led by the Fujiwara family, supplemented by Buddhist forces such as the Tendai Sect, and even Shintoism has participated. Although the latter has failed to prevent the rise of Buddhist forces, it will not be squeezed out all at once. There is no room for survival.

How can a person's will resist the distortion of thousands of thoughts? If it hadn't gone through various transfer twists and turns, I'm afraid anyone would have their own will disintegrated and become a puppet called "god" the moment they accepted this power.

But after discovering the "poison" of faith, he chose the simplest and most consistent approach to his original habits, which was to eliminate those believers who had affected him.

What happened after that is no secret. Su Nuo's twenty fingers became the carrier of the curse, and it was not until modern times that he was resurrected again because of the perfect container, Yuuto Polygonum.

This curse spirit is still a bit tricky. It has a very powerful learning ability, but it has not yet reached the ability to adapt to the rules like Moxuluo. However, ordinary curse masters will probably be able to see through it soon. All skills and weaknesses were then chopped off by the wind knife.

In addition, the most important thing is the plan to "become a god". Shenyuan Yi also understands why this plan is considered a failure by Kensuo from another time and space.

Because those "wishes" from thousands of believers are completely a curse. Once you accept their power, you will gradually be eroded by them and get closer to the stone idol worshiped by all believers.

Any pure fighting skills are meaningless to it. However, most spellcasters use their own spells for close combat. For this special spell spirit, the battle with them is just like in modern times. It’s a general game where AI’s high computing power can overwhelm manpower.

This should be the reason why Su Nuo and Ken Suo abandoned this path in the past. Although in a sense, human growth also kills the past self, but not many people would think that they are still the same after changing under such external factors. "I".

It's a pity that they failed... But even if Su Nuo is regarded as a curse in human form, he cannot escape the shackles of the human body. He will eventually be limited by his lifespan and die. However, he chose another way to abandon his identity as a human being. road.

The opponent will never make mistakes and is perfect, but Keren will always make mistakes and have shortcomings. Once the latter fails, he will die. This difficult curse spirit will eventually be killed by the source of the gods.

It is also very simple to give up this power and influence. Just cut off this belief. The troublesome ones can be eliminated slowly. The simpler ones only need to turn this belief into fear and disgust.

When the magic world found that neither appeasing nor enshrining it could stop the "King of the Curse" from wreaking havoc, they finally decided to do whatever it took to try to rid the human form of this natural disaster.

After all, no matter how strong his learning and dismantling abilities are, he has no chance to display his power in the face of time.

Since wiping out the political opponents of the Fujiwara family, the frequency of Shenyuan's attacks has become less and less. Later, the cursed spirit that died in his hands was an imaginary cursed spirit - the Great Tengu.

Moreover, the people above will not allow this to happen, and experiments are being carried out step by step. Although the mantra collected from ordinary people cannot support the consumption of the divine source once it has completed traveling through other time and space, it can still be used to practice more mastery of this operation. of.

According to the memory of Tian Yuan on the other side, Su Nuo's title of "Falling Heaven" should have come from this. Because of his strong strength, he was enshrined by the Fujiwara family and even became the object of worship at the 'New Taste Festival'.

……

But even if this road does not seem to be feasible at the moment, Shenyuan cannot give up on it for the time being. This perception of the "gods' realm" is really too important, and the mastery of the ultimate and even beyond the limits of the technique, as well as Improvements in various aspects are even more difficult to explain.

The most significant thing is that Shenyuan Yi can use magic to gradually touch the earlier past. With the blessing of the barrier called [One Place of Ten Thousand Realms], he can even choose to carry out an astonishing span of time on this timeline. shuttle. But this doesn't mean much to him, because if you only travel in the current time and space, you can only go back to the past. There are only two ways to go to the "future", and that is to wait naturally and travel to another time and space.

After his whimsical attempts, Shenyuanyi's domain expanded into two forms, corresponding to the acceleration and reversal of time respectively. However, 'Return to Ruins' can only bring the enemy into the ultimate void, and only 'Wuji' can 'It has the property of time and space jumping.

Now all he has to do is wait, wait for the further improvement of [One World of All Worlds], and wait for all preparations to be made to burn this era as fuel for the journey.

844 AD.

【Tenji Shrine】

This is a shrine that was built later. It was built in a lake. The continuous torii gates stand on the lake to form a "road" leading to the central building.

The size and exquisiteness of the shrine are definitely among the best in the world, but there are no statues or incense enshrined in it, because this is the palace of a living god.

That's right, its existence was built by the forces of Shintoism for the Divine Origin One. The reason why is a long story, so I'll briefly summarize it here.

In fact, the power of local Buddhism has developed too fast. Although worship of Kamogenichi is more extensive (written by the Fujiwara family), Kamogenichi's purpose is only to collect "votive power". He has never spread any teachings or What kind of organization are you trying to build?

Even organizations that were established voluntarily without knowing their true purpose were forcibly disbanded. In order to prevent the local Buddhism from becoming too powerful, the Fujiwara family decided to implement checks and balances and then support Shintoism.

Shintoism, having gotten the opportunity, naturally would not slack off. There would be no room for personal grudges in the struggle for power. Even though the relationship with them had been somewhat strained before, facing this opportunity, Shintoism, unable to resist, immediately began to cooperate enthusiastically with them.

This shrine is one of the "hearts" he dedicated, and his target is the living god who is the most important core of the Fujiwara family.

The establishment of the shrine was almost entirely completed by conjurers. Otherwise, it would be impossible to build this shrine with a foundation deep into the bottom of the lake that could withstand the baptism of time and a special location.

Each of its beams and pillars has been cast with enchantment spells, which have basic functions such as repelling insects and dust, not being afraid of water and fire, and warding off evil spirits and demons. Their existence makes this shrine able to maintain its 80% to 90% prosperity. Possibility after thousands of years.

At first, Shenyuan Yi didn't care much about this and just accepted it. His daily residence was still the old mansion. But after everything got on track, it was not helpful for him to stay there, so he occasionally went there. In the "palace".

After that, I unknowingly got used to enjoying the tranquility in that extremely quiet place, far away from the world. Only Mizuno Shiina was as quiet as a shadow waiting beside him. The latter is now quite old, just because of his own technique. It doesn't show many traces of the ruthlessness of time.

She still stays with the people she is most familiar with as she did decades ago. Even though her strength has already reached the disaster level, which is enough for her to live a good life anywhere and be treated as a distinguished guest by those nobles, she is still willing to serve as "God's Attendant" devotes his life.

"Gah~"

There was a ripple on the calm lake, and a crow much larger than its usual kind flew across the water and landed on the edge railing. Shenyuan, who was sitting here in a daze, glanced at it.

"understood."

There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes. After he stood up, Mizuno Shiina, who had also been staying behind him, came over to change his coat. Then the crow spoke human words and conveyed the message it carried.

"Everything is ready, the 'furnace' has been cast."

Listening to the information that he had "seen" in advance, Shenyuan took a step towards the water. The next moment, he did not sink into the water, but just stood on the water. The magic power that spread out silently attracted him. The water underfoot turned into a crow-blue mass.

There was no sound of explosion, only slight continuous ripples on the lake. Mizuno Shiina followed and also walked on the water.

There’s no need to go back in time and change locations, because this is where it officially begins.
