Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 679 The Ancient God of Dongda! The Great God of Chishan, a Higher Dimension!
At the same time that Luofu entered the core of the Ju-on mechanic.

Goki, who was far away at the University of Tokyo, seemed to sense something and urged Tsuchimikado Ichiro, who was using the alias Dr. Hayashi, to hurry up again.

Although Tsuchimikado Ichiro understood the seriousness of the situation, he was currently far away at the University of Tokyo and had no power to intervene on the island's side. Moreover, he had already notified the Tsuchimikado family in advance, and now he could only appease Gouki and wait for news from the Tsuchimikado family in Japan.

Unbeknownst to him, Gouki had already taken notice of him the moment he first stepped into the Ju-on haunted house.

While Luo Fu was enthusiastically studying the core mechanism of the Ju-on, he suddenly felt that the core of the Ju-on mechanism was actually rejecting him.

This force of repulsion came incredibly suddenly.

If Luo Fu hadn't left the Kamui mark on Yayoi beforehand, he would have almost been squeezed out of the core of the curse.

It was as if they realized that they could not squeeze Luofu out of the core of the curse in this way.

Countless irregular mirror surfaces suddenly began to shatter on a large scale.

The densely packed, kaleidoscope-like spatial passages were cut in an incredibly brutal way.

Luo Fu and its location were actually abandoned by the core of the Curse.

This caught even Luo Fu, who was well-prepared, off guard.

The fragmentation of space and time caused the core of the Ju-on to crack irregularly.

Apart from the piece occupied by Luo Fu and the piece where he left his divine mark on Yayoi, the other fragments vanished from Luo Fu's sight in the blink of an eye.

The scene before my eyes suddenly blurred.

Luo Fu and Yayoi, whose demeanor had drastically changed, returned to the manor out of thin air.

The three high school students, unaware of what had happened, were surprised to see their friend, who had reappeared with Luo Fu. Before they could even feel their joy, they noticed Yayoi's unusual behavior.

Especially Nanami, whose inspiration is the strongest, sensed that Yayoi in front of her was no longer her former friend, but an incomparably terrifying and indescribable being.

Even Aoi and Rina, whose inspirations aren't particularly strong, as well as Ikuno Yui, noticed that something was wrong with Yayoi.

"Yayoi...Yayoi, you..."

Although she returned to reality, Yayoi felt no joy whatsoever, because she knew very well that she was now dead, especially when she broke free from the core of the Ju-on, it was as if some power had merged with her.

This made Yayoi even more convinced that she was no longer a living person, but... rather an indescribable being.

It's not a demon, but it's more terrifying than a demon.

Because she can sense that she can leave a mark on others, and then, through an instinctive ability, she can intimidate, torture, kill, or even devour them whole.

From the moment she became aware of this instinct, Yayoi harbored malice towards her friends.

But before she could make a move, Luo Fu, as if sensing something, slapped her across the face.

The resentment that had just been born in Yayoi was instantly vanished by this slap, leaving only a tiny amount to sustain her existence.

I was startled by my own reaction.

Yayoi stammered, "What...what happened to me just now??"

"Congratulations, you are now the new Ju-on?" Luo Fu looked at the girl who had transformed into the new Ju-on with great interest.

In his eyes, Yayoi's current state of being was incredibly mysterious.

Neither alive nor dead, it is as if it has transcended life and death, becoming a collection of things that are almost like the concept of resentment.

More importantly, Yayoi was not limited by Kayako, the subject of the curse.

Kayako or Toshio Saeki committed murders based on a fundamental principle: entering the Ju-on house and being marked by the person.

But Yayoi doesn't need that.

Of course, the reason why Kayako and Saeki Toshio were restricted was not something they could change subjectively, but rather a restriction set in advance by the true masters of Ju-on, Gohime and the Tsuchimikado family.

Ultimately, Kayako and her son Toshio Saeki were merely tools for Gohime to maintain her immortal soul.

Before they became the Cursed Ones, they were restricted by Gohime and the Tsuchimikado family.

However, if someone destroys the haunted house at the heart of the Ju-on, the Ju-on will also spread, effectively breaking the restrictions that Gohime and the Tsuchimikado family had placed on the Ju-on.

Even Luo Fu never expected that he would inexplicably obtain a curse of his own through the girl Yayoi.

Although Yayoi and Ju-on are now combined, they cannot be confused.

Yayoi is Yayoi, and Ju-on is Ju-on, just like the relationship between Kayako and Ju-on.

At best, the shattered curse mechanism simply merged with Yayoi.

If it weren't for Luo Fu, who would occasionally slap Yayoi to dispel her resentment, she would probably have become the new Kayako in a very short time.

But now, Luofu not only has Yayoi, the little curse, but also keeps Ikuno Yui and three other girls marked by the curse in the manor.

This means that Luo Fu has more opportunities to get a glimpse into the core of Ju-on.

With Yayoi restrained, and amidst the anxiety of the other three high school students and Yui Ikuno, Luo Fu began his research into the mechanisms of Ju-on.

The more Luo Fu studied it, the more amazed he became. The unorthodox methods of the island nation were not without merit.

Just like the Ju-on, its true mystery does not lie in the so-called resentment. If mere resentment could form a terrifying existence like Kayako, capable of altering reality and distorting spacetime, then why would anyone else bother cultivating?

The true core of Ju-on is borrowing power, but the power borrowed is not from the island nation, but from the ancient gods of Tokyo.

Yes,

It is the power of the ancient gods of Tokyo University.

The fact that the power of the ancient gods of Tokyo could create a curse as seemingly unsolvable as Kayako's is undeniable; one has to admit that the unorthodox methods of the island nation are indeed quite unique.

The ancient god of the East, whose power was borrowed by Ju-on, and another being known to Luofu.

This is the future, the Lord of Mount Tai whom Hao Ji intends to worship.

However, unlike the Taishan Fujun, an ancient god of the orthodox Todai, the key behind Ju-on is actually the Chishan Daimyojin.

Chishan Damingshen is the title of Taishan Fujun in the island nation, or it can be considered as part of Taishan Fujun.

Although Chishan Damingshen is another name for Taishan Fujun, the difference in names leads to a certain difference in the authority they wield.

The Akayama Daimyojin is more like an incarnation possessing some of the authority of the Taishan Fujun. Ju-on is a sinister mechanism created by borrowing the power of the Akayama Daimyojin, using the Yin-Yang techniques of Shintoism in Japan, to connect with the land.

Before Luofu, the space that Yayoi entered with the divine mark left on her body did not actually exist.

Or rather, that place wasn't a space created by the power of the curse, but rather belonged to Haoli.

In mythology, Haoli was the seat of the Lord of Mount Tai.

Of course, this can be considered an ancient myth, and Haoli is roughly equivalent to the underworld in modern times.

The curse created by the Onmyoji of the Tsuchimikado family for Gohime is actually made using the underworld of Akazan Daimyojin.

No wonder the power of Ju-on is so intractable.

The resentment and curse of Ju-on do not actually originate from Kayako, but rather reach directly to Haoli. It can be considered an ancient underworld power that bypasses the Great God of Akayama and is intercepted.

If the Taishan Fujun Festival that Gohime will perform in the future is a reversal of death, then Ju-on is a completely opposite Taishan Fujun Festival, and this festival is a terrifying one that has lasted for countless years and has no end.

Kayako is the chief priest, and all those who died after entering the cursed house are sacrifices for this death ritual.

The reason these people's deaths could not be reversed was not because of the resentment marked by the power of the curse, but because from the very moment they stepped into the room, these people were placed on the altar.

A haunted house is an altar.

Once the altar is destroyed, it will spread in all directions like a flood, and the way it spreads will be through the previous offerings.

After Ikuno Yui dies, she infects her sister with her curse; Yayoi and the others also begin to harm people they know, all for the same reason.

Having discovered the truth behind the Ju-on curse, Kayako no longer held the same importance in Rafu's heart.

After all, he now possessed his own Ju-on, which, although only a part of the complete ritual created by the Tsuchimikado family's Onmyoji to worship the Akazan Daimyojin, was enough to satisfy Luo Fu's purpose of prying into the truth of Ju-on.

However, after learning the truth, Luo Fu found himself in a dilemma.

Yayoi, standing before me, is now a chief offering.

The other three high school students and Yui Ikuno, however, were sacrifices to another curse.

Most importantly, the object of this sacrifice is the incarnation of the Lord of Mount Tai, the Great God of Mount Chi.

Don't assume that all the ancient gods no longer exist just because even the ancient god Taishan Fujun is no longer in this world.

On the contrary, since Princess Hao attempted to resurrect Toyotomi Hideyoshi through the Mount Tai Lord Festival, she almost succeeded if it weren't for the schemes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Zhao Li.

This is enough to make people understand that the ancient god Taishan Fujun, who does not exist in the real world and manifests like Hades Acha, has not disappeared, but has ascended to another higher dimension.

The extent of that dimension's power is beyond the comprehension of Luo Fu at present.

But without a doubt, what threatens Aoi, Nanami, Rina, and Ikuno Yui, who have already ascended the altar, is not a curse or evil spirit, but rather the ancient underworld of Haoli.

This put Luo Fu in a difficult position. It wasn't that he couldn't remove the marks on a few people, but rather that they weren't of any value.

If it were Xiaoqian, Zhou Jie, or even the Su Yue couple who became sacrifices for the Chishan Great God, Luofu would have paid a price to save them.

But if it were these high school students and Mai Ikuno, why would they give them the right? Luo Fu isn't exactly a saint.

So many Luofu have appeared in the shared space, but the one with the most unique mentality is actually the Luofu from the Pendulum World.

The reason is simple: if he hadn't awakened his past life memories and entered the shared space, he probably would have left the bottle world with Xia Dongqing long ago, and everything would have disappeared with the destruction of the world.

After realizing the illusion of the world inside the bottle, Luo Fu lost all sense of belonging to the world.

He was born in a world inside a bottle, just like Zhou Jie, Su Yue, and others.

This so-called real world was completely unfamiliar to him.

A sense of belonging may seem like an abstract concept at first glance, but in fact it can determine a great deal.

A fleeting crimson glint flashed in his eyes as he incorporated Yayoi's new curse mechanism into his divine power space for suppression. Luo Fu then instructed Xiaoqian, "Send them away."

As he spoke, Luo Fu gestured to Ikuno Yui and the others.

If at first, Yui Ikuno and the others thought they were being held hostage by the Luo Fu conglomerate, now, after witnessing Yayoi's disappearance, they fully understand their own predicament.

At this moment, they could be attacked by the power of the curse at any time. Letting them leave would be sending them to their deaths.

Nanami, whose inspiration was at its peak, even collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way.

On the contrary, Rina and Aoi, although they were terrified that they would be attacked by the so-called curse like Yayoi, did not feel the same despair as Nanami.

After all, in their view, if there really are evil spirits and curses like those in urban legends in this world, then there must be a way to solve them.

Compared to Luo Fu, the guy who forcibly kidnapped them, couldn't they find someone else after leaving this manor?

Amidst her anxiety and unease, Yui Ikuno, like the other two high school girls, resolved to immediately seek out temples and shrines to find a way to break her curse as soon as she left the manor.

However, before the group could leave...

Qi Hai, however, was in tears, shaking his head frantically, and crawling on his knees toward Luo Fu, saying, "Sir, I...I don't want to die."

Luo Fu glanced at Qi Hai in surprise.

Luo Fu could guess what the others were thinking, but it was Qi Hai who piqued his interest.

Inspiration is actually a very mysterious and illusory thing.

Having strong inspiration doesn't necessarily mean having the potential for cultivation, but as long as you embark on the path of cultivation, you will definitely have good inspiration.

It's worth noting that when the other high school girls were laughing and joking when they first entered the Ju-on haunted house, Nanami was the first to feel the terror of the haunted house.

When visiting Aoi, Nanami is often able to sense the approaching power of the curse immediately.

This powerful inspiration is almost akin to a prophetic ability regarding the Ju-on curse.

If this were ancient times, once Nanami's talent was discovered by the shrine, she would probably have become a full-fledged shrine maiden.

The shrine maidens of Shintoism in island nations are completely different from what is portrayed in propaganda.

Especially the ancient witches, they were practically no different from the prostitutes in India.

They are not only required to serve male figures such as the priests in shrines, but some are even prostitutes who use the title of shrine maiden to make money.
