Hyperdimensional Player

Chapter 221 The Ancestor of Green Tea
The smoke around us gradually dissipated.

As the group passed through the bamboo forest ahead, a garden clearly in the style of Japan came into view.

"Enchantment?"

Duncan looked around at the small bridges and flowing water, and the pavilions and towers in the distance, and nodded approvingly, saying, "Well built."

Tamamo revealed a hint of smugness, glanced arrogantly at Enma beside her, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty flatters me."

"It's just a third-rate formation."

This thing is called an alternate dimension in the West, roughly equivalent to a mage's seventh-level mansion spell.

These are generally only set up by powerful demons, usually used as their own cave dwellings, and are not considered any remarkable supernatural powers. True blessed lands are much larger than this. Eastern blessed lands correspond to the western demiplanes and are often as large as a country.

The mansions of the mountain spirits and monsters in Liaozhai that bewitch people are basically illusions. Once you see through them, they are just mass graves, much like mirages.

However, the nine-tailed fox's cave is entirely real.

The Rakshasa Yama standing to the side showed a hint of disdain, curled her lip, and muttered under her breath, "She smells like a vixen."

"His Majesty."

"If you have some free time, you can come and sit in my Netherworld Kingdom, which is much quieter than here."

The nine-tailed fox wasn't angry; she continued to smile and talk, but her words were like knives piercing the heart. She softly murmured, "That's true. In the netherworld, demons dance wildly, and a hundred ghosts roam at night."

"It's really quiet."

One sentence was enough to make the Rakshasa Yama in front of her furious. With a flash of cold light, a Japanese sword with a strong demonic aura appeared in her hand.

Judging from its appearance, this knife is also a powerful demonic object.

The alluring Tamamo showed a hint of fright and inadvertently hid behind Duncan, as if afraid that Yama might suddenly attack her.

Sure enough, Duncan immediately snapped, "Put the knife away."

Yama gritted her teeth in hatred. Not long ago, this vixen had fought her for three hundred rounds with a jade ruler, but today she was acting like a weak little monster. Sooner or later, she would have to find out her fox tail.

After the nine-tailed fox crossed the sea to Japan, she easily defeated all sorts of kids along the way.

She almost revealed the name of the Demon King.

Tamamo-no-Mae wasn't afraid of Enma at all. Although her strength had greatly declined, toying with a Rakshasa demoness was child's play. In ancient times, what kind of worthless Enma would she even have the right to stand and speak in front of her?

But things change.

Thousands of years ago, the Egyptian gods were the most powerful in the world, but look at them now, anyone can conquer Egypt.

Europeans have almost eaten all the mummies.

Of the four ancient civilizations, ancient Egypt declined, and its gods also fell from grace. Ancient Babylon, needless to say, had all its gods dead, and Gilgamesh suffered a tragic fate. Ancient India was even worse, with the caste system emerging.

In the world of Root One, it's not about being older or stronger; it's about being ancient and strong in the present.

The guardian fairies of Avalon rose through the ranks by clinging to Duncan's coattails; otherwise, they would have remained at the level of great monsters.

Somewhat unwillingly, Enma sheathed her demon sword, holding it in her arms across her chest, revealing her full breasts. The scabbard nestled between her deep cleavage. For a moment, relying on her innate beauty and extremely proud figure, she fought the nine-tailed fox in front of her to a standstill. She just stared quietly, letting out a disdainful snort.

Oh dear.

How dare someone flaunt their figure in front of me?

Tamamo-no-Mae smiled without saying a word, raising her hand to signal the fox demons serving her to bring fragrant tea and snacks. Then, after Duncan sat down, she personally served them. She knelt gracefully in front of Duncan like a Yamato Nadeshiko. In the instant she lowered her head, her gorgeous kimono fell slightly, revealing a stunningly delicate whiteness. Even mutton fat jade was insufficient to describe it. Whether in shape or fullness, it could be called perfect, the ultimate in human beauty.

Such beauty and figure, even if she stood there motionless, were enough to captivate the heart.

Enma immediately felt somewhat discouraged.

Can't compare.

They simply can't compare.

That vixen is so seductive! Every smile and gesture of hers is designed to bewitch men!

A beauty that could topple kingdoms and cities.

Sorry, this idiom was designed specifically for the nine-tailed fox. "倾国倾城" originally referred to a country falling because of a woman's beauty, but later it was often used to describe a woman of extreme beauty.

The idiom "so beautiful that a nation falls" was created because of her.

When it comes to beauty, she's never been afraid of anyone!
To put it bluntly, all the beauties of ancient China, like the legendary beauties who could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, pale in comparison to her.

She only needs to stand there, and she is stunningly beautiful.

"His Majesty."

Tamamo-no-Mae respectfully poured Duncan some fragrant tea, raised her hand to offer it, and said, "Please."

When she is dignified, she possesses the graceful beauty of a queen.

A faint fragrance wafted over.

Duncan was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder she's a vixen; Eastern female demons are much more alluring than Western fairies."

Our ancestors were very creative; you just think they were conservative.

Otherwise, where would idioms like "a pool of wine and a forest of meat" come from?

"Your Majesty traveled all the way to Japan just for this trivial matter?"

Tamamo-no-Mae knelt before Duncan, glanced at Enma leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed, and said with a smile, "If it's just about retrieving that stone, Your Majesty can simply send someone to inform us."

"I will return it to that Rakshasa woman myself."

Enma's eyebrows shot up in anger. She cursed the vixen inwardly, thinking how good she was at flattering men.

If it weren't for encountering a ruthless person, this vixen wouldn't have been so easy to deal with!

She also treats people differently depending on their status.

snort!
She brought it back herself. She was terrified by His Majesty. However, when she saw Duncan, she was also startled. There are only a handful of immortals walking among mortals in human history.

However, she has always been stubborn and inflexible, and she can't learn the tricks of a sly fox.

To deal with that sly fox, we'll have to ask Lady Himiko for help.

"of course not."

Duncan picked up his teacup, took a sip, stared at the nine-tailed fox in front of him, glanced at Yama beside him, and slowly said, "Now that mythology is in decline, supernatural powers are becoming weaker and weaker."

"I plan to set up a large barrier in Fusang to maintain the existence of many mythical monsters."

Avalon in the mist.

It has another name, Fairyland, or you can call it the distant ideal land, after all, it has Celtic beliefs, Druidic traditions, and the relationship between man and nature, which is somewhat close to the Taoist concept of the unity of man and nature.

The later Taoist ideas have all been over-interpreted. The original meaning is that you should just follow the natural way of Heaven and that's it.

Druids are very much in line with the laws of nature.

Upon hearing Duncan's words, Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes lit up, and she cautiously asked, "Your Majesty intends to establish a kingdom of monsters here?"

Upon hearing this, Enma's expression also turned serious.

"not only that."

Duncan shook his head and said, "I still need to confer titles on a few gods; they'll be useful in the future."

"As for the land of monsters, I suppose so."

"But it's not just Japan. If mythology recedes further in the future, the mountain spirits and monsters of other Eastern countries will probably have to move in as well to maintain their existence."

There is no more suitable place in all of Asia than Fusang.

The mythology of the Central Plains has already faded away, much like Italy. Large areas are no longer suitable for cultivation. In the future, most parts of the East will enter the Dharma-ending Age, and this will gradually spread to Southeast Asia, Malacca, and other places. After the decline of witchcraft and black magic, those places will also gradually decline.

You can think of Duncan's plan as a pillar, or a closed dam.

When the spiritual energy is still there.

They isolated all the supernatural mythical creatures, creating a reservoir of spiritual energy that would endure until the end of the Dharma-ending Age.

If humans and ghosts continue to live together like this in Fusang, it will eventually grow cold.

When mountain spirits and monsters gathered in large numbers, a new mythical land emerged. Avalon, as the otherworldly land of fairies, not only maintained its own existence but also solidified its legend by embracing western fairies. As long as these supernatural creatures existed, the mythical era was not truly over.

"Then Your Majesty needs a large protective barrier."

The nine-tailed fox no longer possessed her initial alluring charm; she sat upright and said, "This barrier needs to be comparable to a blessed land."

This project is much larger than her cave dwelling.

Duncan nodded and said, "Yes. So I need to find a quiet place."

"most."

"The gods in the folk beliefs over there are also our own people."

"No matter how much war and chaos there may be in the future."

"None of this will affect the survival of the large barrier I set up."

He already had a goal.

During Japan's Sengoku period, there was a region with few battles and many mountains, making it convenient to set up protective barriers.

At this moment, Enma also pondered and said, "Your Majesty."

"This matter is unlikely to be completed in a short period of time."

"Moreover, many monsters may not be willing to leave the bustling human world."

Upon hearing this, Duncan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression indifferent, and said in an unquestionable tone, "If they don't want to go, then we'll beat them until they do."

Beat them into submission, beat them to their knees.

Duncan wants to see who wants to test the sharpness of his Oath of Victory.
In fact, his idea was inspired by World Three. The Cult of Mechanism wanted to establish a divine kingdom on Earth in the material plane, so why couldn't he do the opposite and forcibly create an artificial divine kingdom?

If you can't reverse the trend, then hide and wait for an opportunity.

"As for the rest, that certainly cannot be accomplished in a short period of time."

"But one or two hundred years is not a long time for us."

Duncan looked at Yama not far away and said, "The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons is not going to be a good thing. We'll have to deal with it sooner or later."

His strength will only grow stronger.

Right now, we need to lay a solid foundation to prepare for the final wave of the Dharma-ending Age. Once we get through it, the spiritual energy revival and the magical tide will erupt together.

It's like ocean waves; the last period of a major ebb tide is the most difficult time.

Everyone was washed ashore, and only those who survived to the end could make it to the next high tide.

Duncan is now like the pillar of the receding tide, an unexpected reservoir formed on the beach. Everyone on the beach is dying of thirst, and many supernatural beings want to get close to him to maintain their existence.

He is a natural source of magic.

Upon hearing this, the nine-tailed fox respectfully knelt down and said, "If that is so, I am willing to serve Your Majesty."

Enma curled her lip in disdain.

It's about time.

That sly fox still can't resist showing off a bit; it's infuriating!
