Chapter 275 The Origin of Orochi, The Calamity God Plan

Divine light emerges, and primordial energy transforms.

When the five-colored divine light fell on the tiger-dragon's head, it immediately changed in response to the tiger-dragon's energy, and the interlacing divine light transformed into red and yellow colors.

Earth overcomes water, and fire burns water; fire and earth are mutually generative.

The sudden change contained endless mysteries; divine light, like a pillar, struck the tiger-dragon's head, nearly blasting it out of the pool.

The enormous tiger's head tilted back, with most of its body above the water.

"cracking!"

The tiger-dragon let out a fierce roar, its body stirring the pool water, causing waves to surge, and the boundless water spirit energy transformed into a raging tide, crashing down like a tidal wave.

However, under the restraint of the Five-Colored Divine Light, the raging tide was suppressed before it could reach its peak.

A divine light streaked across the sky, striking the raging tide. Wherever it passed, a vast expanse of mist rose up, turning most of the tide and water spirits into vapor.

Then, the divine light fell on the tiger-dragon again, its red and yellow colors reflecting each other, suppressing the water elemental energy.

The tiger-dragon was suppressed and burned by the fire and earth elements. It roared wildly, and its nearly ten-meter-long body thrashed in the pool, trying to attract the surrounding abundant energy.

however--

boom!
The remaining waves suddenly burst open, and amidst the towering spray, a gigantic figure was revealed.

Bai Ze had somehow flown off the tiger's back and stood in mid-air. A huge Dharma image condensed behind him, and as he reached out, the Dharma image grabbed the tiger-dragon's neck.

The roaring stopped abruptly.

Feeling the giant hand slowly clench its five fingers, the enormous tiger head glanced at Bai Ze.

"嘤嘤嘤——"

The tiger-dragon made a shameful sound.

It seems that even in the world of mythical beasts, the principle of "a wise man submits to circumstances" is understood.

"Obey me."

Looking at the tiger-dragon that had finally submitted, Bai Ze slowly spoke, his words transforming into an invisible force that entered its mind.

The enormous tiger head immediately became docile, revealing the same submissive expression as the fierce tiger.

'Defeat it, and make it withdraw all resistance; this will indeed reduce the consumption of resources.'

Bai Ze felt his mental energy being depleted and thought to himself.

Don't let their lack of intelligence fool you; these strange beasts are incredibly powerful.

Its massive body represents powerful blood and energy. In terms of strength, this tiger-dragon is at most a five-star martial artist, but in terms of energy level, its blood and energy far exceed that of a five-star martial artist.

Controlling the Tiger-Dragon will be quite costly for Bai Ze.

Fortunately, as long as you have enough strength to subdue the tiger-dragon, it will naturally give up its resistance, reducing your own energy expenditure.

Seeing that the tiger-dragon was under control, Bai Ze floated down to the top of the tiger-dragon's head and said, "Communicate with your mind."

Do you know where the Yamata no Orochi's lair is?

Under the influence of Bai Ze's words, even though the tiger-dragon couldn't understand Bai Ze's words, it could still comprehend Bai Ze's meaning.

only······

"Eee-ee-ee." The tiger-dragon let out a soft, whimpering sound and shook its head repeatedly.

It didn't know what Yamata no Orochi was.

"A giant snake with eight heads, its body was about the size of a mountain."

"Uh-huh-huh."

As it shook its head, Hu Jiao conveyed its meaning—it had never seen such a large snake before.

"Tsk."

Bai Ze clicked his tongue lightly, thought for a moment, and then decided to use a simpler and more direct approach: "Do you know where the most precious thing in the mountains is?"

As the saying goes, every rare and precious thing has its guardian. These strange beasts may not be smart, but they still have the instinct to evolve.

Basically, any valuable rare and precious materials are guarded by strange beasts nearby, waiting for the right opportunity to devour them and evolve to a higher level.

The lair of the Yamata no Orochi likely contains similar rare and precious treasures.

Even if Bai Ze makes the wrong choice, he might still get a rare and precious treasure, so it wouldn't be a loss.

Now Hu Jiao understood.

It plunged into the water, taking Bai Ze on its head with it.

This pool contains flowing water, and there is a large cave at the bottom of the pool from which water constantly flows.

Bai Ze has the ability to breathe internally, so even in water, he can absorb oxygen and the water doesn't easily get on his body, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable and lets the tiger-dragon swim around.

Tiger-dragon led Bai Ze into the cave. After winding and turning through the underwater passage, they suddenly began to rise, going against the current, and entered a wide expanse of water.

There was a faint light above. Looking up, I could see a white light source high in the distance, like a small sun.

All around, there was a dim blue light, providing a glimmer of illumination underwater.

'The Heavenly Pool at the summit of Qingyu Mountain?'

Bai Ze knew that this was not actually a light source, but rather the Heavenly Pool at the mountaintop.

As for the surrounding blue light, it should come from the mountain body of Qingyu Mountain.

And since this place leads to the Heavenly Pool...

The sound of rippling water could be heard, and a dark shadow seemed to sense the movement and swam over.

The cold scales reflected dappled light under the dim blue glow, and the orange-yellow vertical pupils shone like two lanterns underwater, slowly gazing out.

The waters beneath Tianchi Lake are inhabited by dragons, which pose the greatest threat to outside martial artists from Qingyu Mountain.

The dark figure before them was an eleven-meter-long dragon.

Faced with this dragon, the tiger-dragon immediately tensed its body, preparing to fight.

While different beasts may coexist peacefully, their relationship is more often that of predator and prey.

Clearly, the tiger-dragon and the dragon here are in an opposing relationship.

Rather, the fact that the dragons at the bottom of Tianchi Lake could gather in groups is itself extremely abnormal.

Large ferocious beasts are generally solitary creatures. Flood dragons are inherently violent, and theoretically, unless they are a male and a female, they should have difficulty forming groups.

According to the information, there are at least six dragons here. It can't be said that apart from one male, the rest are all female, right?

With these questions in mind, Bai Ze examined the dragon and lightly stomped on its head, signaling it to continue.

Even though they were already quite close, the dragon seemed completely oblivious to the tiger-dragon.

After looking around, its ferocity subsided, and even its swimming posture became gentler.

It has already fallen for the illusion of a mirage.

Sight and hearing are deceived, and the ripples of the water flow are restrained by an invisible force field.

If Bai Ze hadn't been unfamiliar with the tactile sensation of a dragon, he could have directly deceived the dragon's sense of touch.

In this situation, the tiger-dragon almost brushed past the dragon without the dragon noticing at all.

The wary tiger-dragon thus distanced itself from the dragon and swam in the water.

After swimming about 500 meters, rocks gradually became visible below, and a mountain wall appeared ahead, along with a huge cave entrance, and...

Two dragons tumbling on the rocks.

The surging waters expanded in all directions, and two dragons, each over ten meters long, intertwined, their tails twisted into a braided shape.

Bai Ze: "..."

Based on his experience watching "Animal World" in his previous life, these two dragons were probably mating, or rather, they were roaming in the wild.

"They're quite adept at it."

As Bai Ze spoke, he stepped on the tiger-dragon's foot, saying, "Stop looking."

Tiger-Dragon looked around a few more times with some reluctance before leading Bai Ze into the large cave in the mountain wall.

"cracking."

It then whistled softly, indicating that it didn't know what to do next.

The tiger-dragon knew there were good things inside, but it couldn't have gotten in before.

"It doesn't matter."

Bai Ze didn't say much, only signaling Hu Jiao to continue forward.

Having arrived here, there was no longer any need for the tiger-dragon to lead the way. By observing the direction and force of the surrounding water, Bai Ze calculated that there would be an exit not far away.

After all, he was a top student at Yi Academy and had received tutoring from Teacher Yao Guang. Even without the assistance of the Luo Shu, Bai Ze's numerology skills were still quite high.

The tiger-dragon continued forward, and along the way, it could see several cave entrances with faint turbid air inside, which were obviously the lairs of other dragons.

There was even a powerful surge of primordial energy emanating from one of the cave entrances.

In terms of pure power level, the dragon here is already at the peak of the six-star level. Even Bai Ze would find it difficult to defeat it in a head-on confrontation.

Bai Ze did not explore further, but simply let the tiger-dragon continue forward.

When they reached the end, the tiger-dragon rose to the surface.

Then, it broke through the water's surface and came into contact with air completely different from underwater. Bai Ze stood on the tiger-dragon's head, scanning the surroundings, and found that the environment here was similar to the cave where the tiger-dragon had been before, both being extremely large pools of water.

Not far away, there was a huge hole, and there were traces of a giant snake crawling on the ground.

Inside the cave entrance, a faint light emanated, providing a sliver of illumination to the cavern.

"Don't move."

Bai Ze gave Hu Jiao some instructions, then floated down without touching the ground, slowly drifting into the cave entrance under the influence of an invisible force field.

He quickly approached the end of the cave passage, and under the cover of "Mirror Flower Water Moon", Bai Ze flew directly out of the passage.

The surrounding light level suddenly increased several notches, and the jade mountains on all sides emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the vast space and the platforms inside.

Bai Ze had expected to see a powerful dragon here, after all, he had previously seen traces of snakes crawling around.

But, no.

There were no dragons or snakes. Inside the space of at least one thousand cubic meters, there were no strange beasts. Instead, there were stone platforms, a large number of man-made tools, strange arrays covering the ground, and countless characters carved on the mountain walls.

"Do the mythical beasts of the Mountain and Sea Realm also have civilization?"

Bai Ze frowned subconsciously and then dismissed the idea.

He noticed that most of the characters on the cliff face were Japanese script, while the rest were Ursus script.

People from Yingguo and Ursus once lived here, and for quite some time.

As for their purpose...

The vessels on the platform, along with some rotting flesh and blood, had already given Bai Ze the answer.

—Biological research.

"This is truly... unexpected."

Bai Ze never expected that the people of Ying Kingdom had already set foot here.

Although the Yingzhou Secret Realm first appeared in Ying Kingdom and was a product of the intersection of the Mountain and Sea Realm and Ying Kingdom, after the intersection event, the Yingzhou Secret Realm became a secret realm and has been drifting at sea ever since.

So before today, Bai Ze had never imagined that traces of the Ying people would appear here.

"Unless, the convergence of world civilizations had already occurred before half of Japan's territory was swallowed up, only on a smaller scale..."

Thinking this, Bai Ze quickly scanned the text on the mountain wall and finally found the beginning on the far left side of the mountain wall.

January 15, 2041 (Astrological Calendar)

[We've run out of paper for recording data, and electronic devices are no longer usable here. For the sake of secrecy and security, we haven't sent anyone to replenish the supplies. Instead, we've temporarily written the data and experimental records on the walls using special ink.]

[To date, the "Calamity God Project" is halfway to completion. Professor Koscher's "Divine Body Project" has been completed, and through the modification of the dragon, the nascent divine body of the Calamity God Orochi has been successfully cultivated.]

Next, we will create a god.

Professor Koscher said that the evil gods in the spirit world were initially just weak spirits, growing stronger through continuous devouring to become the gods they are today. As long as a spirit can be nurtured, fed, and given a certain concept, a god will be born from our hands.

Afterwards, as long as this spiritual body is integrated into the divine nascent body, the divine descent will be complete.

[Japan may not have encountered a divine enemy, but we will have our own god. Japan, Banzai!]

The opening scene was like a bombshell, shocking Bai Ze to his core.

The Yamata no Orochi was not a natural beast, but a man-made one, and it was not a pure beast, but a divine being like a false saint.

At the same time, Bai Ze couldn't help but marvel at the madness of the Japanese people, who actually wanted to create a god.

Moreover, why not create a better god? At least create one of the Three Noble Sons or something. Why create a god of calamity?

He continued to look down.

January 20, 2041 (Astrological Calendar)

[After absorbing enough spiritual energy, the captured spirit began to grow stronger. The next step is to cultivate its compatibility with the nascent calamity god.]

January 21, 2041 (Astrological Calendar)

The compatibility experiment failed; the spirit could not adapt to the nascent evil spirit and was annihilated by its vital energy.

January 22, 2041 (Astrological Calendar)

[Second stage of spirit cultivation begins.]

······
January 3, 2042 (Astrological Calendar)

With the experience gained from the first attempt, the second spirit cultivation cycle was shortened, and the second compatibility experiment began.

······
[Match failed.]

······
[The third spiritual incubation begins.]

······
【fail】

The numerous failures continued for hundreds of meters.

Bai Ze quickly browsed through the information and discovered that the compatibility experiment was not successful until the year 2045 of the Star Calendar.

'The day the Yamata no Orochi appeared and half of Ying's territory was swallowed up was in the year 2046 of the Star Calendar.'

Thinking this, Bai Ze quickly scanned most of the experimental records.

January 15, 2045 (Astrological Calendar)

The initial cultivation of the compatible spiritual entity has been completed, and a representative has been dispatched to the home country.

January 1, 2046 (Astrological Calendar)

The ritual presided over by the Emperor Emeritus has begun, and the mark of the God of Calamity will soon be imprinted on the spirit. Once the imprint is complete and the spirit of the God of Calamity succeeds, it will be able to absorb the suffering and aura of disaster that has permeated the land since the beginning of the world's existence, and become a divine soul in the shortest possible time.

January 7, 2046 (Astrological Calendar)

We succeeded! We succeeded! The divine soul has begun its transformation, and the great Kingdom of Ying will stand at the pinnacle of the world.

January 8, 2046 (Astrological Calendar)

[Following orders, we assassinated Professor Koscher. Despite leading us through the Calamity God Project, despite his guidance—he was our mentor—he refused to join the Kingdom of Ying. We cannot tolerate a god-maker from outside our own country. We apologize, Professor Koscher.]

This record is dedicated to commemorating Professor Koscher's great contributions.

······
January 13, 2046 (Astrological Calendar)

[The soul of the god suddenly began to absorb large amounts of mental energy; it seems it is about to successfully transform into a calamity god.]

······
······
The calamity has spiraled out of control...

Numerous dark red marks appeared on the mountainside.

"Blood?"

Bai Ze could already smell the blood.

This should be considered a typical case of an experiment going out of control. Although it was unexpected, Bai Ze has seen it enough times in various films and television shows.

This will happen if the record is lost.

But the record did not end there; outside the blood-covered area, a new record appeared, written in Ursus script.

January 14, 2046 (Astrological Calendar)

Forty-six years have passed since the first World War. In these forty-six years, countless disasters and man-made calamities have filled the people of Japan with hatred and apathy towards misfortune. My investigation has confirmed this, so through some subtle means, I influenced the retired emperor of Japan to designate the calamity god Yamata no Orochi as the target for deification.

Oh, by the way, actually, I was the one who instigated the whole god-making project.

Compared to previous experimental records, the content recorded by Ursus was somewhat casual and playful, and it was more like a casual essay than an experimental record.

My lovely students thought they had killed me, unaware that their respected teacher, even in death, was watching them from behind the scenes.

Of course, they would never know that this was my probe, an experiment, into the realm of the gods.

[This trial yielded considerable results, but unfortunately, the Calamity God Project failed halfway through. Although I am proficient in biology and created the juvenile form of Yamata no Orochi, unfortunately, spiritual beings are not my area of ​​expertise.]

Therefore, I invoked Maheshvara, the god of destruction... Now He is preaching in the East, and perhaps I should call Him the Great Lord.

[As always, the Great Freedom was generous, giving away His blood to lay the foundation for the creation of the evil spirit.]

Thanks to the great freedom I have witnessed, I saw the creation of a divine being, though it may have been a false god, it was still incredibly precious.

So, those of you who are reading this, are you interested in what I've learned? I can tell you about it.

The playful tone in the records reached its peak here, followed by a large amount of data records and a series of bizarre patterns.

[There's "Spirit Devouring," which absorbs the thoughts of others to boost one's spiritual power, and "Divine Descent," which allows one's consciousness to leave the body and descend into the body of a believer. With these two spells, you too can become a false god and spread your faith.]

If you can learn these two spells, I hope that when we meet, you will not hesitate to share your insights with me.

Of course, I can also take it myself.

[Time is almost up. Yamata no Orochi is about to successfully merge with the body and complete his divine descent. The Intersection of Worlds is also undergoing dramatic changes due to its appearance. In order not to lose myself in the Intersection of Worlds, I can only write this far.]

[—Your friend, Kochet]

It's not Kosch, it's Kosch.

—The Undying Koche.

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the final signature.

Kosh'e, the "Undead," was Ursus's greatest traitor and the founder of the Order of Immortality. His cult branched out into many sub-branches, the most notorious of which secretly developed in Eastern Xia and had a name in the Eastern Xia style—"Sacred Heart Cult."

"So, this is a chapter from 'The Theory of Immortal Evolution'?"

(End of this chapter)
