Chapter 495 Old Thing!!!
When Amaterasu said that she was powerless to change the world, Blaze believed her and was disappointed. He was not used to doubting others, especially someone like Amaterasu who seemed to be very stubborn.

But he forgot one thing. Although Amaterasu looked young, she was actually an old woman.

Old guys all have a bad habit, which is to answer questions honestly.

Some old guys are bad, they like to use fancy words, mysterious background stories, the meaning of the answers, and like to use puzzles as answers. Some old guys are dull, they answer whatever is asked, but they will never say a word more than one.

The old lion and Odin are obviously bad guys, how bad are they? They know the answer, but they can use a lot of big truths to ask the person asking the question to rack his brains to answer the question one by one.

Amaterasu is the dumb one. When asked if you can do it, she will just say no, and she will never say a word. This also means that Amaterasu will only answer questions and will not reveal all the information she thinks is useful.

Of course, judging from Amaterasu's current behavior, she probably thinks that this matter has nothing to do with the earth-shaking events, so she is too lazy to say anything.

"Let me ask you, what do you think is the most dangerous thing for the world in this upheaval?"

"Mythological totems are fragmented and randomly combined, the gods have lost their power, etc."

"That's not important at all!"

"how come!"

Blaze wiped his face speechlessly. This was his mistake. He didn't expect that God's values ​​were different from his.

In fact, if we recall the past carefully, we will know that no matter whether it is the old lion or Odin, the fearful expressions they showed when they talked about the world turning upside down were mostly accompanied by the totem being shattered, and no matter how powerful the god was, he would lose his divine power.

The suffering of all lives seems like a small and insignificant part of the background story.

This cannot be blamed on them. After all, when the world was turned upside down, they only cared about themselves, and the totem was closely related to their own lives.

"Explain this matter to me clearly and tell me everything you know." Blaze's breathing inevitably quickened. His sixth sense vaguely felt that he seemed to have found a way to make the upheaval harmless.

He believed that one of the greatest dangers of a complete upheaval would be the destruction of the ecological environment and the extinction of all living things.

"Alas - I am extremely sleepy now, do you still want to torment me?"

"This is a matter that concerns billions of lives. Can't you hold on a little longer?" Seeing that Amaterasu looked reluctant and lazy, Blaze decided to move first to arouse Amaterasu's interest in speaking.

"The twelve beasts are the twelve great beast kings, right? I have already obtained Leo and returned Sagittarius, so I still need 10 more."

"No, the one you're talking about is the beast of heaven, the beast in the sky that guides all living things, and the one I'm talking about is the beast of earth, haha~" Amaterasu yawned, and even though she was in a hurry to sleep, she started talking.

"Well, the twelve souls are the guidance for all living things, and the twelve beasts I mentioned are the trajectory of the earth... You know that the sun revolves around the earth, right?"

Amaterasu seemed to think that Blaze might not be able to understand the affairs of the gods, so she changed her way of telling the story.

"No matter how powerful the sun god is, he was born from a totem on the earth. Therefore, the power of the sun god is lower than that of the earth, and he rises and sets within the range of the totem. Even if the current sun is the only sun god, it must move around the earth."

"And the twelve earth beasts are the trajectory of the sun's movement with the earth as the core. If the sun god obtains the twelve earth beasts, then the relationship between the earth and the sun can be exchanged, allowing the earth to revolve around the sun."

"If I had gotten the twelve earth beasts back then..." Amaterasu pinched Blaze's two ears and pulled them up to express her regret. Blaze fell into a state of enlightenment, as if he had grasped some kind of inspiration. He carefully sorted out his memories from the time he met the stranger until now, and some of the strangers said something that was blurred because of his memory.

That was the topic the stranger had started by pointing at the sun in the sky that rose and set with the earth as its center, but he just couldn't remember it at all, and he was just one step away from getting it right.

But he didn't have much time to think, as he had to get as much information as possible from Amaterasu before she fell asleep.

"If the earth revolves around the sun, only one side will receive the sun's rays. What should we do in this situation?"

"How should I know? Don't ask questions that I can't answer. I'll be very troubled and can't sleep well." Amaterasu rolled her eyes and said casually, "Don't ask so much of the sun, okay? Glowing and giving off heat is also a tiring thing. Can't we just let the earth rotate on its own?"

"Don't you always turn the meat when you grill it to prevent it from burning?"

"Let's not talk about how to make the earth spin. If it starts spinning, what if the people on it fall down?" Blaze asked hurriedly when he saw the exit getting closer.

Amaterasu's answer became vague, as if she was about to fall asleep.

"Then why don't you... go ask... the sun god in the underworld and ask that freak to work harder~ haah~"

[Underground Sun God]!? Blaze's eyes twitched. It turned out that the Sun God mentioned by the old thief the ferryman was not Amaterasu. He was asked to take another detour.

"So, where are the twelve earth beasts? At least tell me what they are!"

"Pigs, pigs, dogs, or something, ha hu——"

Amaterasu really couldn't utter a single word. Her chin rested on the top of Blaze's head and she fell asleep, breathing steadily.

"Hey! Don't go to sleep now, you just said one thing!"

……

When Blaze fell from the sky and the low air pressure could be felt through their helmets, Greenland and Dali Feizhuan both had sad expressions on their faces.

"Amaterasu..."

"Dead." Blaze shook his head. In his eyes, Amaterasu was already a dead person. It was too unreliable. Even if he could just say it was an animal, it would be fine.

"Really?" Greenland and Dali Feizhuan clenched their fists. Life and death separation is not a strange thing in reality, let alone the world of games which is always filled with extreme joy and sorrow.

But at least they, the players, have the rewards for completing the mission, and can look at the weapons and reminisce about Amaterasu, while Blaze only has memories and regrets.

It's really pitiful. After shedding blood and tears, there is not even a souvenir.

"Amaterasu told me something at the end, which is a clue that may make the world turn upside down harmless, that is..."
