Chapter 832: Takamagahara's Last Legacy
Accepting the authority of the Emperor Okuninushi, who represented civilization and enlightenment, Kamiyagawa officially became a god.
After waking up this time, he really felt like he was reborn.
Previously, the shikigami under Kamiyagawa became gods, and although they obtained true godhood, their essence did not change. Mary was still Mary, and Prajna was still Prajna.
Kamiya feels similarly now, but he doesn't feel that his temperament has changed drastically after becoming a god.
Moreover, it is not completely unprecedented within the Takama-ga-hara faction for a mortal to become a god.
The medicine seller is an example.
"During the process of becoming a god, and even after becoming a god, one needs some specific things to help consolidate oneself. Just like a large ship sailing in the deep sea, it drops an anchor to pull itself up so as not to lose itself in the ocean of divinity. What exactly can serve as an anchor may vary from person to person."
"But in this regard, Kamiya, you seem to have done very well. So, there is no need to worry."
This is how the medicine seller shared his experience on becoming a god.
As for Kamiyagawa's "anchor", it is probably the voices he kept hearing during the process of becoming a god.
Those voices do not belong to Okuninushi, nor to Chinoisaki, nor to Iwa, but only to Kamiyagawa himself. They are his unique life experiences that have led him to where he is today.
Although the medicine seller's words were like a reassurance, Kamiya still did not take it lightly.
The person from whom he absorbed the divinity was Okuninushi.
You know, Okuninushi was once still alive, and later controlled the thirteen emperors of the Tensun lineage. If Kamiya hadn't disrupted the situation and entered the capital of Mizuho, Okuninushi might even have revived.
Although after the battle of Mizuho Province, Okuninushi's divine bones were taken away, his soul and body should have been destroyed and he no longer existed.
However, when facing an opponent with a "criminal record", it is better to be cautious.
So for the next few days, Kamiyakawa underwent a physical examination conducted jointly by the craftsmen.
These top craftsmen in Takamagahara——
Kaku inherited the skills from Kinzan Bikoshin and Tenjin Mara.
Because the foot-selling grandmother had Takiyashahime as an excellent experimental subject, she had a deeper understanding of the flesh and blood regeneration ability of the Dark Goddess Gami.
The medicine seller himself has the experience of a mortal becoming a god.
Such a lineup of expert consultations can be considered very luxurious and reassuring.
The craftsmen spent a long time examining Kamiya River in all aspects, and the final conclusion was the same as before. After Kamiya River became a god, all indicators were very normal, so there was no need to worry.
After receiving such consultation results, Kamiya finally felt relieved and began to gradually get familiar with and accept this new power.
……
Takamagahara, the main hall of the shrine.
On the vermilion torii in the center of the hall, thick yellow-green fluorescence was dancing everywhere, and Kamiya River appeared among the numerous light fragments.
This was the first time he returned to Takamagahara after becoming a god.
The purpose of this trip is simple and clear, which is to meet Princess Suzuhiko.
Princess Suzuhiko was the first living being Kamiyagawa saw after entering Takamagahara several years ago.
Although he met the medicine seller later, according to the medicine seller himself, he was able to follow in because Kamiya reopened the passage between Takamagahara and the underworld. In other words, before Kamiya entered Takamagahara for the first time, Suzuhiko had always been alone in this heavenly residence of the gods.
All along, Princess Suzuhiko has given people the feeling of being a "task guide" on the road to becoming the leader of ghosts and gods.
Although her guidance attribute is still quite weak, she only gave a few task items when Kamiya became stronger in stages.
In addition, every time she met Suzuhikohime, she would always just repeat almost the same lines, so that even though Kamiya and Suzuhikohime have known each other for a long time, he does not have a deep understanding of this Kamiya herself.
Why was she staying alone in Takamagahara?
Why should we guide the candidates for the leader of ghosts and gods?
Which force in the former Takama-ga-hara does she represent?
Also, Princess Suzuhiko seemed to have the mission to become the quasi-shaman who was the leader of all the ghosts and gods, but after learning that Kamiyagawa's "shaman candidate" had been accidentally tied to someone else, Princess Suzuhiko did not react much to it.
One gets the impression that she doesn’t take her mission particularly seriously.
Or maybe, for Princess Suzuhiko, as long as a new leader of demons and gods is born, as for the process of the birth of the new leader of demons and gods... she may not care much?
In short, there are still many mysteries related to Princess Suzuhiko.
"Now that I'm a god, it's a good idea to meet Princess Suzuhiko again to see if she has any new ideas."
With this thought in mind, Kamiyagawa walked towards the familiar side hall.
The heavy stone door slowly opened.
The scene that comes into view is still the huge statue of Tiandian Numing, and the beautiful goddess sitting on the foot of the stone statue, wearing a red skirt and holding a golden bell and a short staff.
As the stone door opened, Princess Suzuhiko, who had been sitting there like a puppet, seemed to be activated from "standby" mode.
She raised her head and stared at Kamiyakawa quietly for a few seconds before speaking in her calm tone: "Immature leader of ghosts and gods, I see that you have already obtained the throne of God, and are only one step away from ascending the throne of God in the sky. As the one who is destined to protect this place, my long mission has finally come to an end."
This opening speech sounds different from the previous ones.
Presumably, Princess Suzuhiko has already sensed the true divine aura emanating from Kamiyagawa.
"Anything for me this time?"
Kamiyagawa walked up to Suzuhikohime with familiarity.
The latter swung the golden bell short stick in her hand, making a crisp tinkling sound, and then jumped down from the Tiandian female deity statue. Her toes touched the ground, and on her left ankle was a golden anklet, which flashed a faint light from nowhere.
As Princess Lingyan left the Tenten Numing statue, the huge statue slid silently, and a narrow and dark door appeared on the wall blocked by the stone statue.
Shen Gu had been to this side hall of the god's residence many times, but he had never sensed that there was a passage hidden behind the statue.
Perhaps the statue of the goddess itself completely blocked the passage behind it, as well as the aura behind the passage.
"Please come with me."
Princess Suzuhiko said this and turned and walked into the small passage.
The treatment after becoming a god is indeed different. Before, Princess Suzuhiko would just take something out of her chest wrap and give it to Kamiya Kawa, but this time, she seemed to want to take Kamiya Kawa directly to see something.
Kamiya fixed his eyes and looked towards the dark corridor, then thought for a moment and followed.
This passage is deeper and longer than it looks from the outside. It is dark inside and you can't see your hand in front of you. Only the golden bell short staff in the hand of Suzuhiko Ji in front and the golden ring on her ankle are emitting a faint light, and making crisp collision sounds from time to time.
However, Kamiyagawa could still see clearly in the darkness, so none of this mattered.
He looked at the graceful figure leading the way in front of him, and felt that after coming down from the statue of the goddess, Princess Suzuhiko seemed to become a little more lively.
If the previous Suzuhiko-hime was just a puppet who could repeat her lines, then now she gives people a feeling that is at least somewhat similar to the early Mary.
"Suzuhiko-ji, can you tell me a little bit about yourself?"
Feeling that this was an opportunity to get to know the other person more deeply, Kamiya asked tentatively.
jingle--
The golden bell short staff swung in the air, and the golden anklets gently hit the cold ground.
Suzuhiko Hime, who was walking in front, did not look back or answer.
But this did not dampen Kamiyagawa's enthusiasm for the conversation. He continued, "For example, who asked you to go to Takamagahara to pick up the new candidate for the Demon God's co-master?"
"Mrs. Tiandian."
Ling Yanji kept walking, but this time she was not completely silent. Instead, she replied indifferently.
Kamiyakawa is the lord of the world who controls emotions, and now he is the emperor of men. Although gods are not within the jurisdiction of his authority, it is very easy for him to tell whether a statement is true or false.
Judging from Suzuhikohime's expression, her reply was a detailed statement of the facts.
"I remember you said before that you took Izanagi as your master?" Kamiya asked again, opening up the conversation for a rare moment.
"I have never met Lord Izanagi. My mission was all given by Lady Tenten-no-Mikoto."
According to the information previously obtained, Tenten Nyu-mikoto was the shaman of Abe Haruaki, the second lord of demons and gods.
Although Takamagahara is officially ruled by Izanagi, the power has been changing since the subsequent demons and gods came to power. Even Kamiya Kawa's subordinates are all the people he brought up from humble beginnings.
If we analyze it from this perspective, then Princess Suzuhiko should actually belong to Seimei's faction?
Kamiyagawa: "Have you ever met Abe Haruaki?"
Princess Suzuhiko: "I have met Lord Haruaki."
A straight-laced answer.
However, this answer further confirmed what Kamiyagawa had just thought.
"Do you know how Abe Haruaki fell?"
"I don't know. I didn't participate in any affairs during the period when Lord Haruaki was managing Takamagahara."
I was not involved in the affairs of Abe no Haruaki during his administration of Takamagahara...
This sounds like something is wrong.
So Kamiyagawa struck while the iron was hot: "Suzuhiko-hime, how did you come to Takamagahara? With Abe no Haruaki and Tenten-no-Mikoto?"
"No, that's not it. I was already here before those two adults returned to Takamagahara."
"Why are you here?"
jingle--
The golden bell short staff and the golden anklet shook again, and Princess Suzuhiko's figure swayed along with them.
Then, very abnormally, Kamiyagawa felt the emotional fluctuations in Suzuhikohime.
It was like mist, wet confusion, and a hint of imperceptible sadness.
"I don't know why I'm here. Someone brought me here, and I don't remember anything before that."
"Who brought you here?"
"I do not know."
"What did the person who brought you here want you to do on Takamagahara?"
"He...he just asked me to stay here. He said I should stay here."
In the dark and long corridor, the two golden arcs of light swaying high and low in front stopped at the same time, followed by a long silence as thick as the surrounding darkness.
Suzuhiko-ji stopped talking.
Kamiya Kawa could feel that what the goddess had just said was not a lie.
As for other things, Suzuhikoji really didn't know, and she wouldn't get an answer even if she asked further.
However, if Suzuhiko-hime already existed in Takamagahara before Abe Haruaki...
So the person who brought her here was Ashiya Doman?
In other words, although Suzuhikohime experienced the period when Abe Haruaki controlled Takama-ga-hara, because of her identity as a "old man" left behind by the former leader of demons and gods, she has never been involved in any Takama-ga-hara affairs during Abe Haruaki's period?
Afterwards, Qingming died and his power was completely destroyed. Even Tenten-no-Mikoto met the disaster of committing suicide on Tianhu Rock.
Perhaps Tiandian had no one left to entrust her care to, so she passed the responsibility of guiding the next leader of ghosts and gods to Suzuhiko Hime?
If we follow this logic, it can explain why Princess Suzuhiko is not very concerned about her own mission.
Perhaps she has always existed in Takamagahara with a "bystander" mentality, and has never really delved into everything here.
Just like the emerging Kamiya forces today, Suzuhikohime’s positioning is similar.
"She really doesn't seem to know anything about Ashiya Doman who brought her to Takamagahara. Even the subsequent Tenten-no-Mikoto passed the responsibility of training the next demon god leader to her... So even in the eyes of Seimei's forces, Suzuhiko-hime is not a backup plan reserved by Ashiya Doman. So why did Ashiya Doman leave Suzuhiko-hime, who knew nothing, in Takamagahara in the first place?"
Kamiya Kawa couldn't figure it all out for the time being.
……
The long corridor finally came to an end, and in front was another thick and boring stone door.
Arriving here, Princess Ling Yan bowed slightly to Kamiyagawa. She seemed to have returned to her original indifferent state:
"You have obtained the godhood, proving that you have the strength to ascend to the throne of the gods in heaven. Behind this stone door is the last thing that Lady Tiandian entrusted to you. I don't know what is inside, but it may be the key to your ascension to the throne of gods. Please check it out for yourself."
After saying this, the beautiful goddess quietly stepped aside.
The last thing that Tenten-no-Mikoto handed down was related to the key to becoming the common leader of ghosts and gods. It must be the last legacy of Abe Haruaki's forces.
Kamiya didn't hesitate too much and raised his hand to open the stone door.
The door slid and rumbled, and in the process, the golden ball bell hanging on Kamiyagawa's waist also began to shake.
In Takamagahara, a demon like Zashiki-warashi who has no contractual connection with Kamiya cannot appear directly. However, Kamiya has a Takamagahara pass token on him, so if Zashiki really wants to come out, it is not impossible.
However, Fu Bao didn't seem to have any intention of coming out at this time, she was just simply excited.
Behind the heavy stone door, there was what looked like a storage room, not very large, with a clear view. There was a round stone table in the middle, with shelves on the left and right.
It seemed that something had once been placed on the stone table and the shelves.
But now there are not many things left on the shelf, only a few pieces, but at a glance, you can tell that they are all extraordinary props and materials. However, the quality varies greatly.
The reason why Fubao feels excited is very simple.
She felt that her old father was going to become rich again!
Our family made a lot of money!
The moment the door opened, Fukuho, the little god of fortune, keenly felt that in this small secret room, the best and highest-quality material was the skeleton of God!
And there are two full servings.
A god's skeleton with a turbid color was placed upright on the shelf on the left, while another one as transparent as white jade was quietly leaning in the corner of the stone room.
They are all ours!
Realizing that he had picked up two divine bones for free, Kamiya Kawa was naturally as excited as his good daughter.
Qingming's forces are very generous!
However, he has become much more stable now, so he naturally won't show his joy. He just walked into the stone room with a calm face and began to look at the white jade-like divine skeleton leaning against the wall. They are both divine skeleton materials, one is neatly placed on the shelf, and the other is just leaning against the wall.
And if we imagine this White Jade God Skeleton as a human figure...
It was as if it was sitting casually with its back against the wall, looking at Kamiyagawa, the latecomer.
Just like the owner of this stone chamber. (End of this chapter)
