Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 712: Chapter 322: No Moon over Ying Island_2 Chapter 712: Chapter 322: No Moon over Ying Island_2 “`

Miketsu held a sheaf of rice respectfully and rose to her feet.

“Have you come here just to worship me?”

Embarrassment with a hint of humanity showed on Miketsu’s fox-like face as she said:

“Your humble god has come this time, actually, to ask something of Venerable Taoist.

It was only after entering that I suddenly realized Venerable Taoist is the Father of All Gods, and I lost some propriety.”

As a major deity of the Amaterasu lineage, Miketsu continually suffered oppression by Izanagi—her thoughts were, of course, clear to Shen Yuan.

However, Shen Yuan did not care about Miketsu’s small schemes; he also needed to learn some inside information about the Sky High Plateau from this major deity.

“Is it about Izanagi?”

“Your Honor is truly prescient!”

“Amaterasu Omikami ascended to the pantheon seat and took charge of the world of Ying Island tens of thousands of years ago, while Izanagi and Izanami were born when Ying Island was integrated into the Primal Chaos Realm.

The Great Deity, appreciating their destiny-led birth, thus decreed them to be local deities.

Amaterasu Omikami, unconcerned with worldly affairs, presides over the Sky High Plateau.

...

Secular matters are administered by the Main Gods, Izanagi and Izanami, and their myriad offspring also hold important divine offices within the Ying Island Divine Pantheon.”

At this point, a hint of resentment flashed in Miketsu’s eyes.

“Izanagi and Izanami have always respected Amaterasu Omikami until this recent Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, when Hell’s tributary crossed realms and appeared in the world at Pingan Capital.

To drive away Hell’s tributary, Amaterasu Omikami bore the backlash of heaven and earth and forcibly intervened, resulting in grave injuries that forced her to seclude herself for healing.

Since Amaterasu Omikami’s seclusion, Izanagi’s and Izanami’s true nature has gradually been revealed.

Firstly, using the decree of Amaterasu Omikami to weaken the Ise Grand Shrine, then dispatching deities close to the Great Deity into the depths of Hell to their deaths, and even I nearly escaped their lethal clutches.

At this moment, Izanagi-no-Mikoto has gathered a vast amount of devotion, coupled with temporarily holding the pantheon seat of the master of the Sky High Plateau.

He is just waiting for an opportunity to ascend into the Immortal Realm.

Your humble god earnestly requests that the Father of All Gods take action, to root out such treacherous villains like Izanagi!”

Miketsu spoke earnestly, recounting the entire situation’s cause and effect, but Shen Yuan did not immediately agree.

He, of course, had the power to destroy the deities of the Sky High Plateau, but with the Netherworld unsettled and even Amaterasu’s seclusion filled with doubts, now was far from the time to make a move.

Shen Yuan simply countered with a question:

“Is it true that Amaterasu has secluded herself due to the grave injuries sustained from forcibly acting under the suppression of heaven and earth?”

Miketsu paused, her brows furrowed with hesitation in her expression.

“This is what all the deities of the Sky High Plateau are saying, it should be true.”

Miketsu’s lack of confidence made Shen Yuan certain that this was false news designed to deceive otherworldly beings.

Amaterasu, as an extraordinary Heavenly Immortal of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, was even considered a pinnacle existence of the Primal Chaos Realm tens of thousands of years ago.

The suppression of heaven and earth is indeed powerful; even Qinguang King, being a Golden Immortal, needed to pay a great price to cross realms.

However, this does not mean that the suppression of heaven and earth is a rigid rule.

On the contrary, the suppression of heaven and earth is very flexible at many times.

For example, the 10 Netherworld Commanders maintain the order of Yin and Yang.

Situated in the environment of the Yin World, they can bypass the suppression of heaven and earth to exert powerful strength and even suppress their own realms to freely walk the world, which other Immortal Realm powerful experts cannot do.

Because the Netherworld is part of the life and death cycle of this world, it thus enjoys certain privileges.

Similarly, Amaterasu, as the master of the Ying Island world, should have similar privileges.

Moreover, what Amaterasu faced was the force of Hell’s tributary invading across realms.

The will of the Primal Chaos Realm would definitely have some response and would not blindly suppress Amaterasu to the point of grave injury.

Shen Yuan was more inclined to believe that the so-called grave injury and seclusion was merely a ruse.

The deities of the Sky High Plateau, including Miketsu, were all being deceived.

Furthermore, even if a Heavenly Immortal was gravely wounded and near death, that would still be an existence at the pinnacle of the five realms of humans, ghosts, and gods, and it would be effortless to crush a Main God who had not reached the Immortal Realm.

Considering this, Shen Yuan suspected that Izanagi already knew the truth behind the supposed grave injuries and seclusion; that’s why he dared to plot against the deities of the Amaterasu lineage, and also why he has been seizing worship to aid his own breakthrough.

Miketsu, who couldn’t see through even this, inevitably disappointed Shen Yuan a little.

Miketsu keenly sensed the disappointment in Shen Yuan’s eyes and immediately felt a chill as she thought about what she might have done wrong.

Realizing he would not discern the truth from Miketsu, Shen Yuan asked:

“Within the Sky High Plateau, are there any other deities closely related to Amaterasu?”

“`

Miketsu revealed a puzzled look and whispered softly after contemplation:

“Amaterasu Omikami holds a lofty position, and most of the later gods don’t even have the qualifications to meet her.

Your humble god has never heard of anyone having a close relationship with Amaterasu.”

Shen Yuan frowned even more deeply.

“So, are there any other deities like you who have lived from the same era as Amaterasu to the present day?”

Miketsu searched her memory with effort but still shook her head.

“No.”

The disappointment on Shen Yuan’s face was almost unmasked.

“The fact that Amaterasu left that divine message proves she had some foreknowledge of her situation.

However, judging from Miketsu’s answers, it seems she did not leave anyone to pass on the message.

Was it to prevent her intentions from being discerned that she deliberately forwent passing on the message?

Or is there someone else?”

This caused Miketsu to be filled with trepidation.

She understood she hadn’t brought any value to the Father of All Gods before her and the chance of gaining his help was slim.

She tried hard to turn every piece of information in her memory over in her mind.

Suddenly, Miketsu’s eyes lit up, and she quickly said in a low voice:

“There might be none among the gods who fit your requirements, but if we speak of those from the same era as Amaterasu, there are still three within the monster tribe.”

Shen Yuan’s eyebrows raised slightly:

“Are you referring to the three Great Demon Kings?”

“Yes!

The Great Celestial Hound, Shuten-doji, and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox—the three Great Demon Kings!

Although they do not belong to the Sky High Plateau, they have also lived from thousands of years ago to the present, their power is comparable to Main God powerful experts, and even Amaterasu Omikami has acknowledged their existence.”

Shen Yuan fell into thought.

Strictly speaking, the birth of the three Great Demon Kings even predates Amaterasu, and Shen Yuan once had crossed hands with them.

Normally, after Amaterasu ascended to her pantheon seat and took charge of heaven and earth, she would have killed the three Great Demon Kings who were once her adversaries.

But somehow, the Great Demon Kings survived, even passing the Spirit Energy Exhaustion era, which revealed too many anomalies.

To know, the only place in Ying Island that could be called a grotto heaven was the Sky High Plateau, hanging above Pingan Capital.

One must enter the Sky High Plateau to avoid the Spirit Energy Depletion era.

Otherwise, even with cultivation reaching the high heavens, one could not escape Spirit Energy depletion and the grinding misfortune of heaven and earth.

“If Amaterasu had subdued the three Great Demon Kings and allowed them to enter the Sky High Plateau during the Spirit Energy Exhaustion era to avoid catastrophe, then everything would make sense.

Even Miketsu doesn’t know the relationship between Amaterasu and the three Great Demon Kings, so Izanagi is also very likely unaware.

It’s highly possible that Amaterasu left the key clues with the three Great Demon Kings.”

With this thought, Shen Yuan hurriedly asked:

“Where are the three Great Demon Kings now?”

“The three Great Demon Kings briefly appeared in Dajiang Mountain three years ago, but disappeared without a trace thereafter.

Even Izanagi doesn’t know their whereabouts.

However, if you wish to find the Great Demon Kings, you might have the monster tribe powerful expert who previously accompanied you undertake a secret inquiry; there might be some results.”

Shen Yuan’s eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction, finally having found some clues.

Miketsu also finally breathed a sigh of relief, showing her worth and should not have to worry about being discarded by the Father of All Gods.

“Your humble god cannot leave the Sky High Plateau for too long, lest Izanagi grows suspicious.

If you have any commands in the future, you can send a miko to contact your humble god with a divine effigy.”

Shen Yuan nodded in acknowledgment, and Miketsu turned around to leave respectfully.

Just then, Shen Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something, his brows slightly furrowed as he said:

“Wait a moment, you mentioned earlier that there are no deities from the same era as Amaterasu in the Sky High Plateau, so where has the moon that was born from the Divine Tree gone?”

Upon hearing this, Miketsu was taken aback, her voice filled with confusion:

“But there is no Moon God in the Sky High Plateau!”
