Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 273 Fire Element Heart Divine Power Seed Takes Action
They were accompanied by telekinesis, keeping watch outside.

Carrie suddenly opened her eyes.

Her telekinesis detected the unusual situation outside the mountain; it seemed that the wild beasts were behaving abnormally, as if they had been disturbed in some way.

Carrie frowned; her telekinetic range was insufficient to detect anything.

But having just been taught a lesson by Louis, she quickly came up with a solution. The psychic energy behind her began to contract, while the psychic energy in front of her gradually extended forward.

This created a straight line extending forward from Carrie herself, greatly increasing the exploration range.

Now, she "saw" it.

In the field of vision, groups of people and machines were building something, transporting stone slabs and tree trunks, and pouring cement down, already creating a rudimentary shape.

On either side of these construction workers, a large number of police officers, dressed in different gear, set up cordons and carried firearms to drive away nearby residents who had gathered to watch the commotion.

What are they doing?

Carrie frowned deeply.

"Is it because of you?"

She looked at a certain Kamaitachi cowering in the corner of the cave. The Kamaitachi, which was covered in a whirlwind and psychic power, immediately put on a fawning smile when it saw Carrie looking over, appearing extremely humble.

It's just like a pet.

Seeing its appearance, Carrie immediately shook her head.

"You're not qualified."

"So, they came for Louis?"

Carrie's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she intensified her observation. She wanted to see what these people were up to. If they were truly planning something against Louis, then she wouldn't hesitate to do something cruel!

The weasel next to him shivered and couldn't help but lower its head.

My lady witch, when will you come to find me?
The people here are absolutely insane!

……

Time passed slowly as Carrie observed, the construction team built, and Louis trained.

Boom! !

The ground trembled slightly, and the sound of falling rocks rumbling came from the Fuji Pass. Whether it was an illusion or not, all the Japanese people at the foot of the mountain felt that the temperature had risen considerably.

"Gudu..."

“Let’s not delay any longer, shall we begin the ritual to the gods now?” said Fushimi Naruto’s father.

Beside him were people of high status, some middle-aged and some elderly, all echoing his proposal.

They were all high-ranking figures, such as temple abbots, shrine chiefs, and heads of Onmyoji families.

But at this moment, they all agreed with Fushimi Naruto's father's suggestion.

Especially now that the fluctuations around Mount Fuji are becoming increasingly large.

at this time.

Dehong, who had been keeping a low profile and trying to minimize his presence, suddenly spoke up, "Something's wrong with Mount Fuji."

?

Something's wrong with Mount Fuji?

What nonsense!
With a deity inside, how could it possibly work?
Dehong added, "They've arrived."

hum! ! !
Intense energy fluctuations spread outwards, and a large amount of fire elemental energy was actually surging towards the heart of the mountain. It couldn't even be said that it was being passively absorbed, but rather actively absorbed!
They were as eager as weary birds returning to the forest.

The element of fire influences reality.

The temperature between heaven and earth suddenly rose, a large number of trees gradually withered, the ground turned from dark wet soil to light yellow dry soil, the ground trembled slightly and a large number of animals began to emerge from it and flee frantically.

They had only seen this scene in books: an impending earthquake, with herds of beasts stampeding and forming a tidal wave.

In this situation, brown bears associate with wild deer, wolves with goats, and venomous snakes flee with white rabbits!
The relationship between prey and hunter changed at this moment.

"Quickly! Drive away the wild beasts!"

"Don't let these wild beasts disturb the altar!"

Da da da--

The jet-black guns, spitting fire, revealed at that moment the power that enabled humanity to maintain its dominant position in the food chain.

Each bullet that pierced the body of a wild beast left a gaping hole the size of a bowl, stained with charred gunpowder. And this was for a tough-skinned beast; if it were a human, the hole would be far more than just a bowl.

The brown bear fell to the ground, and the pack of wolves was scattered.

No beast had a chance of winning under the sweeping firepower of guns.

Not only that, these mysterious figures also took action. Onmyoji dressed in hunting robes waved their hands, and one by one, shikigami with different appearances flew out.

The monks chanted the Diamond Sutra, yet they were incredibly violent, charging forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat, taking down wolves with a single punch.

Meanwhile, the priests of the shrine radiated rays of light, a soft glow that stretched endlessly, enveloping everyone around the camp and providing healing and defense.

"What should we do? The commotion is getting louder and louder. Could the spirits inside be trying to detonate Mount Fuji?"

At this point, someone raised this issue.

Fushimi Naruto's father's eyes flickered. "Start the ritual right now and see if we can stop what's happening!"

"If that doesn't work..."

They weren't without other means.

The altar was indeed for worshipping gods, but the gods they could worship were not limited to the unknown god in the Mount Fuji before them.

With the issuance of the order.

A group of people busily and methodically began setting up, and one by one, strange-looking creatures were herded onto the altar.

Among them was the Slit-Mouthed Woman!

Slit-mouthed Woman, High-Speed ​​Granny, Half-Body Undead...

These strange creatures, which were originally impossible to kill and could only be sealed away, were all bound and thrown onto the altar at this moment. Clearly, they were sacrifices!

"The ritual shall begin!"

One by one, shrine maidens dressed in shrine maiden attire walked from behind, carrying bells, dancing with light and agile steps, chanting some kind of poignant ballad, while monks chanted sutras and incantations beside them.

Only the Onmyoji looked at each other in bewilderment and simply sat and watched.

Because of the recent massacre, the entire scene was now soaked in blood: scattered corpses, the acrid smell of gunpowder, flowing blood, all accompanied by eerie songs and the sound of bells...

An eerie and sinister atmosphere inexplicably filled the scene.

Is this really a ritual to worship the gods?
Inside the volcano at this moment.

Louis's training has reached a critical juncture.

Intricate patterns, so fine they were almost invisible, appeared, intertwined, and shimmered within the heart, eventually forming a seal script whose meaning was incomprehensible.

Clouds and mist swirl around, adorned with gold threads and silver edges.

The heart itself has also undergone tremendous changes. The heart, which was originally turning crimson, has now completely turned into a bright red color, looking as clear and translucent as a dazzling ruby.

You can even see the word "beauty" in a heart.

Simply incredible.

Within Louis's body, the five faint black mists now had a hint of red, appearing much more solid, and their ability to transport fire elemental energy and protect his internal organs had greatly increased.

In addition, with such a long period of training in the fire element, Louis's physical body seemed to have undergone some changes. Finally, when the last massive surge of fire element energy rushed into his heart, Louis, who had been sitting cross-legged, stirred slightly.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze flickering.

Flames were truly burning inside the eyeballs.

He's almost there, or rather, he's already succeeded; now all that's left is the final touch.

The Fire element heart has been completely transformed. From now on, under the rotation of the Five Elements, the progress of the Five Qi Returning to the Origin and the Five Qi Technique will be greatly accelerated.

Even magical power can be transformed into fire-attribute magical power at any time, greatly increasing its power.

Moreover, and most importantly, his heart transformed into a fire-elemental heart, within which a natal fire technique was successfully nurtured. According to his estimation, this natal fire technique might even reach the level of a supernatural power, so it could also be called a seed of a supernatural power...

What is supernatural power?

Literally, it refers to the arts that enable communication with the gods. It holds a very high status. In ancient times, those powerful figures who could command the wind and rain were often referred to as "masters of supernatural powers."

Those who possess supernatural powers are not necessarily strong, but those who do not possess supernatural powers are definitely not strong!
Supernatural powers are divided into innate and acquired. Those born with divine abilities are born with them, while most people in the world do not have this opportunity and can only learn them later in life.

Originally, supernatural powers had no distinction of rank. It was only later, due to the emergence of too many inferior supernatural powers, that they were roughly divided into large and small categories. Among the legendary seventy-two earthly supernatural powers, many are minor supernatural powers, while only the thirty-six heavenly general supernatural powers are all major supernatural powers!
Louis dared not hope for any great supernatural powers, but ordinary supernatural powers were still something he could think about.

Without much thought, this divine ability must be of the fire attribute, and its power will not be weak. Once obtained, it will be a great gain.

The only question now is whether it can be conceived.

"I need to absorb some more fire element energy to increase my protection."

Louis thought so.

Thinking of this.

Louis increased the speed of absorbing fire element energy through his seven orifices and palms. And it must be said, because of the birth of the fire element heart, the fire element energy was very fond of Louis. Louis didn't even have to actively absorb it; the fire element energy all rushed in, appearing very eager.

This time, all of this energy surged into the heart, aiding in the development of supernatural powers.

at this time.

Louis's ears became cluttered with noise.

It sounds like there are many people talking, no, it sounds like there's also singing and dancing?

Louis couldn't help but spare a little attention to check.

But I really heard a sound in my ear!
The awkward and eerie neon language, the light and melancholic ringtone...

Hmm, it sounds like I can hear monks chanting?

What is this ghost?

Follow these sounds.

Louis saw an altar at the foot of the mountain, and the people in front of the altar.

Is this a sacrifice to me?
I've become a god?

Okay, I didn't.

Louis had a clear understanding of this; he was far from being a god, unless he willingly degenerated and wanted to become a minor deity.

As for why these Japanese people worshipped him as a god, Louis roughly figured it out from the voice in his ear and from a familiar face among the group.

Shintoism in Japan is animistic, believing that all things have spirits and that all beings with spirits can become gods.

In reality, it was a modified version of shamanism, cobbled together to create a system, but poorly constructed, which led to the current situation where deities are worthless.

In fact, a large part of the gods are spirits that have become sentient, including but not limited to old objects such as brooms and kitchen knives that have been used for a long time.

Therefore, faced with Louis, a being who could easily shatter the soul of a true cultivator, they resorted to their traditional practice of worshipping him as a god.

If you're unsure what the other person is, then worship them as a god; you can't go wrong.

As for what they wanted to achieve by worshipping Louis as a god.

Louis listened to the voices around him, and slowly, this thought changed his expression.

The voice said a lot of nice things, mostly flattery, praising him as great and kind, and then actually wanted to use those ghost stories as sacrifices to make him give up staying in Mount Fuji.

No matter how euphemistically the words are spoken, their meaning remains the same!

Snapped!
Louis's thought instantly severed this connection.

At the same time, he whispered in Carrie's ear, reminding her to prepare her defenses.

The moment the connection was interrupted.

Fushimi Meiru and the others, who were already getting impatient, showed various expressions at this moment.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

It wasn't until everyone's attention turned to Fushimi Mei's father that the unspoken blame-shifting finally ended.

Fushimi Naruto's father's lips twitched. "Fine, since this evil god is so shameless and unwilling to compromise, then let's fight him head-on, shall we?"

"Good good."

"I have no opinion."

"can."

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's decide now what to use to deal with them. They are probably no less powerful than a righteous god, so let's not use any weak or sinister methods."

The monks in the temples have the power of their vows, the Onmyoji have statues of En no Ozuno and shikigami relics of Abe no Seimei, and the shrines also have the means to contact the gods of Takamagahara.

It can be said that everyone has their trump cards, and now that it's time to decide which trump card to use, disputes have inevitably arisen.

Until Mount Fuji suddenly experienced a large tremor.

Only the right people made the decision.

An ordinary-looking old man stepped forward and ascended the altar. He was the chief priest of Suwa Shrine in Nagano.

Suwa Shrine primarily enshrines two main deities: Takeminakata, the son of Ōkuninushi-no-kami who was defeated by Takemikazuchi, and a god of war and battle, as well as his wife, the goddess of agriculture and hunting, Yasaka-no-Tsurugi-no-Kami.

In Japan, this is one of the major shrines. The reason they took action this time was because others had paid the price. As for why they chose him, it was naturally because their main deity is a war god who is good at fighting.

"Inhale~ Exhale~"

Take a deep breath.

The old man stood on the altar.

He had just opened his mouth when he said, "Today..."

The words have not yet fallen.

An invisible force of thought launched an attack, crack!
boom!
An invisible, powerful force struck, causing fine cracks to appear on the altar. The old man collapsed to the ground, blood streaming from the corner of his mouth.

Everyone's pupils shrank.

The altar is protected; the force that can forcibly break the altar and injure the chief priest is very strong!
"Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin... Hurry, hurry, as the law commands..."

"Edict!"

"Shikigami - Earth Spider!"

"Shikigami—Nurikabe!"

The Onmyoji, who were usually the most idle, summoned their shikigami to stand in front of them.

With the help of the crowd, the chief priest of Suwa Shrine climbed back onto the altar and began to cut his wrists to bleed, chanting incantations. At the same time, one of the many shrine maidens who had been dancing stepped forward, climbed onto the altar, and knelt down.
