Chapter 261 The Wrath of Takamagahara
The shockwaves at Baiyujing attracted many people.
Those who were closer to the guild hall noticed the anomaly and went inside.
"What...what is this?" a young researcher asked, his voice trembling.
No one could answer him.
Academician Liu Sicheng also arrived, but when he looked at the newly appeared scroll, he frowned deeply.
He pointed to the magnificent painting on the wall and said in a deep voice.
"Look there."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention back to the landscape painting.
Only after he pointed it out did everyone notice a strange detail.
Although the entire landscape painting is magnificent, it is not a complete whole.
It's like a giant jigsaw puzzle, made up of two pieces.
One section occupies more than 90% of the painting's area, depicting the familiar land of China.
In the lower right corner of the scroll, a much smaller map is abruptly added.
There is a clearly visible golden crack where the two pieces of the map are joined, as if they could separate again at any moment.
More importantly, at the edges of the painting, there are large areas of blank space, as if shrouded in mist.
Clearly, this picture is incomplete.
"Have you notified Director Li?" Liu Sicheng asked.
"Director Li is on his way," the assistant hurriedly replied.
……
Inside the Supreme Tower.
Chen You suppressed his elation and turned his gaze back to Hill, who still maintained a perfect smile.
Ten thousand gold coins for a priceless artifact of civilization—that's a steal!
But is that the end of the story?
He knew very well that the Origin Realm was definitely not a philanthropist.
There are probably more pitfalls behind this!
He looked at Hill and probed again, "Hill, what do you think of my performance this time?"
He wanted to know the extent to which the Origin Realm had grasped the extent of its control over the civilization war he had instigated in the real world.
Hill's smile remained unchanged.
She bowed slightly, her voice as gentle as a breeze: "You single-handedly defended the dignity of civilization, and the Origin Realm has recorded this supreme glory for you."
His words were impeccable, affirming the result while avoiding any mention of the process.
It was all just nice-sounding platitudes.
Chen You frowned slightly, deciding to be more explicit.
"Do you know that I almost died?"
He stared into Hill's eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of something unusual.
Upon hearing this, Hill's flawless face finally revealed a perfectly timed look of surprise, and even a hint of concern appeared in his eyes.
"Dear VIP member, have you encountered a formidable enemy?"
Chen You's heart sank.
Hill's reaction was so genuine, as genuine as a top-tier AI that knew nothing of the inside story and was simply reacting according to a set procedure.
She did not know the Heavenly God of the Kingdom, nor did she know the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens.
The Origin System... seems to only know that he went to the Kingdom of He, plundered their fortune, and succeeded.
As for what happened during the process, gods descended to earth, and the Thunder God appeared...
These earth-shattering details seem to have gone unnoticed by the system.
Is it that they genuinely don't know, or that they simply don't care?
Or is it a deliberate attempt to conceal something?
Chen You felt as if he were peering into the truth of the world through a thick layer of frosted glass.
I could only see a shadow, it was blurry and indistinct.
Forget it.
He shook his head, knowing that he wouldn't get an answer if he asked any further.
"It's alright now."
Chen You waved his hand, and his figure instantly disappeared from the Supreme Tower.
Let's wait until we get home to discuss it with Director Li and the others.
……
at the same time.
An unknown space that mortals cannot perceive.
This is Takamagahara, the divine realm of Wa Province.
The magnificent palaces stretch endlessly above the sea of clouds, each exuding a cold and majestic divine radiance.
At this moment, inside the "Tenno-an-den," the most central building in Takamagahara, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost frozen.
Dozens of powerful deities stood on both sides, their gazes all focused on the slightly disheveled figure in the center of the hall, whose divine light had dimmed.
It was Amaterasu, the goddess of the Japanese kingdom who had fled in panic earlier.
"...That's how it is."
Amaterasu's voice trembled slightly as she recounted everything she had encountered in the mortal realm.
From the mortal Chen You transforming into a hundred-meter-tall demon god to forcibly plunder the nation's destiny, to his intervention to stop him.
Then came the arrival of the Chinese Thunder God, who extinguished his divine fire with just a soft hum.
When he guessed it was "Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable", the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
a long time.
"puff--"
A snicker broke the silence.
A deity holding a long banner, with a delicate and effeminate face, couldn't help but exclaim, "Nine Heavens? Responding Origin? And Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable? Such lengthy titles are an insult to the gods!"
"Is that the point?" roared a burly, irritable god with a giant sword at his waist.
"The key point is that he actually dared to tell Amaterasu to 'get lost'! This is a declaration of war against the entire Takamagahara!"
"That's right! This is outrageous! When has our Great Divine Race ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace!"
"A mere mortal dares to steal the destiny of my Great Japan! And the Chinese pantheon is even more arrogant and unreasonable, daring to directly interfere in the karma of the mortal realm! Are they trying to incite a war of the gods?"
The gods chattered excitedly, as if they were about to storm the Chinese divine realm and avenge their previous defeat.
However, those who shouted the loudest actually stood still, not daring to move an inch.
joke.
A mere hum is enough to make Amaterasu tremble; she is a being that even divine fire cannot ignite.
What's the difference between them rushing up and plates of steaming sashimi?
Even a ferocious deity like the Yamata no Orochi fled from there back then.
They might curse them, but they would never dare to actually face that "very famous" Heavenly Venerable.
At the head of the main hall, a deity with the most ancient and majestic aura slowly opened his eyes.
His voice was like a resounding bell, instantly drowning out all the noise.
That's enough.
He coldly surveyed the assembled gods, his gaze finally settling on Amaterasu.
"You mean, that Chinese Thunder Ancestor left behind an ultimatum, warning me not to interfere again, or he would wipe out Takamagahara?"
Amaterasu nodded in shame: "Yes."
Izanagi's eyes became incredibly deep, filled with anger, but even more so with apprehension.
He was silent.
The hall fell silent once more, and all the gods could feel the suppressed rage and helplessness beneath the calm.
We can't win.
I can't swallow this anger.
The nation's destiny was severed in front of the whole world, and the gods were driven away in front of the believers. This was even more painful than killing them outright.
"Lord God..." a goddess spoke cautiously, "Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"Forget it?" Izanagi chuckled. "How could I possibly forget it!"
