From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 309 Sacrifice to the Lord of Mount Tai

At this time, in Kyoto, at the true Gokurakuji Temple.

Bai Yang stood atop the temple, watching the events unfolding in Tokyo, and nodded with great satisfaction.

“Indeed, the appearance of extraordinary swordsmen will spark a search for ancient artifacts throughout Tokyo and even the whole of Japan, so we won’t need to go through the trouble of searching!” Bai Yang said with a smile. “I just wonder if those who believe they have mastered the extraordinary will still be willing to accept being ruled?”

The willpower of this nation, under Bai Yang's control, has begun to slowly spread, extend, and grow stronger!
These aspirations, guided by those with strong convictions, will converge towards even more powerful objects; in other words, their beliefs will create extraordinary and unique items.

This is one of the six paths Bai Yang found for them: the control of extraordinary items!

"Control of extraordinary objects, demonization, self-cultivation, Yin-Yang path, divine descent, and Buddhism—these six cultivation methods are my gift to this kingdom!" Bai Yang nodded slightly. "Monsters, ghosts, Buddhism, Yin-Yang masters, shrines, and swordsmen are also subdivisions of extraordinary power!"

"If they still can't split apart, it means their desire for unification is indeed strong enough!"

Alvin shook his head with a smile, "That's impossible, Your Majesty! At least the conflict between the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain is irreconcilable!"

They also knew the history of this world, and the famous merchant army "Osaka Division" was of course very well-known. The story of how others were fighting desperately while they were doing business was known all over the world.

Not to mention the previous so-called conflict between the army and the navy, this country has an enormous number of irreconcilable social contradictions, which are just not revealed under the oppression of the powerful!

However, with the intervention of supernatural forces and the disappearance of America's influence, the crisis in this country will inevitably erupt, and this is irreconcilable!

Next, all they need to do is wait for the creatures called "ambitious ones" to appear, and the kingdom will surely fall apart!

"However, Your Majesty, there is another issue that may require your consideration!" Alvin said. "The emergence of extraordinary abilities in this nation may lead to the intervention of countries around the world. Those people will undoubtedly come like madmen in pursuit of the extraordinary powers here..."

"Perhaps the extraordinary power here will spread throughout the world—this is the closest they can find to the extraordinary!"

“This is what I wanted, Alvin!” Bai Yang interrupted him, saying softly, “This is the scene I wanted, this is the moment I wanted, this is what I wanted to happen!”

"They will raise the level of willpower here, and their resources will redirect these extraordinary systems instead of causing them to merge through internal strife!"

"Because, without their intervention, the Extraordinary Ones will find the direction for merging on their own. Only with the intervention of external forces can the Extraordinary Ones truly complete this special change!"

Bai Yang clearly understands that no system in this world ever exists in isolation.

For example, even Shinra Bodhisattva needs to consider trade with various regions, which is why there was that unique invitation. Japan, a country that imports a lot, naturally needs the support of the whole world.

After all, even superhumans can't conjure up food and supplies—perhaps Inari can, but Bai Yang clearly didn't intend to materialize such a powerful deity at this time.

Of course, there must be a war of gods; it would be a massive feast of reaping the power of will and faith, but not now.

Just as Bai Yang didn't even intend to ignite the divine fire for the Japanese gods or create a real divine world, not all small countries deserve this level of treatment. The original purpose of this testing ground was to extract extraordinary willpower and guide more extraordinary thoughts.

"Therefore, the arrival of these people was exactly what I expected. As long as they are not extraordinary individuals, it doesn't matter!"

Unless a different religion comes to compete for faith and disrupt his plans, Bai Yang will definitely not intervene; this was his original design.

“However, they might not be able to orchestrate a mass supernatural event, so it’s time to bring out some historically famous figures to make an appearance!” Bai Yang said with a smile. “Those famous historical figures would be perfect!”

……

"Ancestor, you've returned?" In the Kurahashi family's Yin-Yang Bureau, Kurahashi Seiji was still preparing for the upcoming ritual when he saw the figure of Abe no Seimei flash across the portrait before him.

"Yes, you're back!" Abe nods slightly. "The crisis in Tokyo has arrived. You need to move even faster here!"

"Tokyo...has it fallen?" Kurahashi Seiji said with some disappointment, but his spirits immediately lifted. "I know, ancestor, I will protect everything in Kyoto! Heian-kyo, even in this era, should continue to be peaceful!"

Seiji Kurahashi was not paying attention to the situation in Tokyo; he was too busy. As the city's only superhuman, his sense of responsibility and kindness drove him to deal with the increasing number of superhuman crises in the city.

He had already learned from Hayato Shiratori that Kyoto was no longer the capital of the powerful and wealthy; those powerful and wealthy people had all left, and the city was now their own!
Therefore, he needs to do his part to protect his city!

Hearing this, Abe no Seimei looked at his descendant with curiosity. "Oh? What are you planning to do? Let me see if you can give me a special surprise before we return to Takamagahara?"

Kurahashi Seiji said with a smile, "Ancestor, I plan to hold a Taishan Fujun Festival in Kyoto!"

The Taishan Fujun Festival is one of the main rituals of the Yin-Yang School, as it is derived from the power of the Taoist pantheon and some elements from Buddhism, mainly esoteric elements.

Besides the Taishan Fujun Festival, they also have the "High Mountain Festival", "Thunder God Festival", "Five Dragons Festival", "Four Corners and Four Realms Festival", "Five Emperors Festival", and so on. These well-known sacrificial methods, along with their special abilities such as incantations, shikigami, and killing formations, are listed as the exclusive abilities of Onmyoji.

The Taishan Fujun Festival is undoubtedly one of the best, second only to the true grand festivals of heaven and earth, such as the Heaven and Earth Catastrophe Festival, the Five Emperors Festival, and the Heavenly Court and Underworld Festival.

“Oh! The Taishan Fujun Festival? What grand ambitions!” Abe no Seimei exclaimed. Before he could finish, a languid and alluring voice rang out, “I also think so. What an ambitious young man!”

Upon hearing this, Abe no Seimei's face visibly darkened. "Tamamo-no-Mae! What are you doing here?"

"Hehehe..." A charming voice rang out, and the woman said seductively, "So it's Mr. Seimei. Since you're here, can't I stay here too?"

Abe no Seimei's gaze turned serious, and he only regained his composure after glancing at the shrine beside him. "So it's a Killing Stone... Do you also wish to be born into this world, Tamamo-no-Mae?"

"Of course I must come out into the world, because the aura of the Eastern pantheon has been concealed in this world. I no longer need to worry about those ruthless gods cursing and killing me. Of course I must come out and have some fun!" Tamamo-no-Mae said. "Qingqiu will eventually appear, and I will eventually be resurrected in this world!"

Abe no Seimei remained silent, pondered for a moment, and then slowly shook his head. "Your conditions for revival are a bit too harsh. You need to wait until the rules of this world are sufficient for a great demon like you to fully display your power!"

"You're not Shuten-dōji. He could revive by relying on endless demons and resentment, but your essence is that of a great demon, far superior to Shuten-dōji's, making it virtually impossible for you to revive in this era!"

Hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae laughed again, "As expected of the greatest Onmyoji of the Heian period! Of course I know this, but what does it matter? The gods will eventually revive, and the rules of heaven and earth will soon change drastically. You Onmyoji have all come down from Takamagahara and made preparations, so why can't I prepare in advance?"

"Rest assured, I have already said that I will not harm your descendants or the country he governs. You can rest assured now!"

Abe no Seimei sighed, "It's because of your words that I'm so worried... A nine-tailed demon from Qingqiu, coming to this country just to seduce the Emperor? Do you think I would believe you now, just because I didn't believe it back then?"

"Ha! Alas, your small country. Would I possibly covet your treasures and divine artifacts?" Tamamo-no-Mae's words carried a hint of dissatisfaction. "It's just that the palace is comfortable. If you don't want me to leave, then so be it. Why the need for shouting and killing?"

"You great demon, you never tell the truth!" Abe no Seimei fell silent, and Tamamo-no-Mae also shut her mouth, because Shiratori Hayato had arrived at the entrance of the Onmyōryō!

"Master Kiyotsugu, the sacrificial items you requested have been prepared. When shall we begin?"
