"The demons of the other shore, following my blood, descended upon this realm to serve me."

"Your name is Ichimokuren!"

This is a reward obtained through the quest "[Final Stage - Lord of the Domain!]".

Its final condition was met after Ara left Konoha and established his power in the Land of Hot Springs.

The moment the words were spoken, a fierce wind arose in all directions, and the faint roar of a dragon could be heard in the void.

Following the sound, a crimson Eastern Dragon suddenly appeared in Huang's field of vision.

Moreover, the sheer intimidation emanating from this single red dragon is comparable to the murderous threat brought by the Yaksha.

This is the power of legendary monsters; even their guardian beasts are formidable!

"Roar!"

At the same time, the psychic dragon also spotted the human Onmyoji who was disturbing its peace with its master.

An undisguised hostility was accompanied by a deafening roar.

And amidst this roar, a deep, emotionless voice rang out:

"Humanity?"

This brief address carries an inexplicable emotion.

It seemed as if it was resisting, or perhaps reminiscing about something.

As for the source of the sound, it was the adult man who appeared riding on a red dragon.

He was wearing a sky-blue haori and had long, pink hair that reached his waist, but what attracted the most attention was the white bandage that ran along his forehead and across his right eye.

"Young Onmyoji, if you have summoned me this time to pray that your wish may be fulfilled."

"Then I'm very sorry,"

"I am no longer a god,"

Therefore, your wish cannot be fulfilled.

"Go and pray to other gods."

Looking at the young face in his field of vision, he couldn't bring himself to give a cold refusal, so he said this.

Of course, that's true.

A god without believers faces only two paths: either disappearing silently from the world, or falling into monster form.

The one they chose was the second one.

"Dragon, let's go home."

After he finished speaking, he did not expect to receive a response from the summoner. He patted the indignant red dragon and then intended to leave this plane.

Chapter 583 [Have you seen that monster?]

Do the gods, who are high above us, really listen attentively to the prayers of mortals?

Seeing Ichimokuren trying to drive the red dragon away, Ara's first thought was not to try to stop him, but to ask a question in return.

This question, though it did not move the former Wind God in the slightest, did make the red dragon beneath his feet instantly become ferocious.

"Roar!"

The sudden roar was filled with intense hostility!

Its owner lost his right eye in response to the prayers of humans and tried to stop a flood.

but,

Those who are protected only remember the kindness of their masters for the moment they receive the favor.

As time goes by, the kindness shown in the past is simply forgotten in the dust of history.

Even so,

Its owner never complained.

For years, decades, even centuries, the Wind God Shrine has remained standing, gradually crumbling.

But now, an arrogant brat has said that the gods will not answer human prayers!

How can this easily quell the resentment that has accumulated in one's heart?

"dragon,"

"Let's go back."

However, Ichimokuren, who was on the body of the red dragon, still spoke calmly.

It seems they don't want to continue arguing about these pointless things.

After all, he had already lived through hundreds of years of peace, so what could possibly shake his heart?

"Stupid dragon, why are you being so fierce?"

Did I say something wrong?

Is blocking floods the duty of the wind god?

"As His guardian beast, it allowed Him to respond to a prayer that was beyond its own power."

"You really have failed in your duty."

He responded coldly and indifferently.

These words left the psychic red dragon speechless.

Even more so, a hint of grievance appeared in those enormous demonic eyes.

After all, what the other party said was completely right; preventing natural disasters like floods was entirely beyond the control of their own master.

Otherwise, the gentle wind god who followed it wouldn't have had to sacrifice an eye to stop the raging flood.

Whenever it sees its owner's right eye wrapped in white bandages, it always feels a pang of heartache.

"That has nothing to do with the dragon,"

"It was my own decision."

"Since your actions are not for the purpose of making a wish, then farewell."

Ichimokuren was still unwilling to escalate the conflict, nor did he want to bring up the past. After gently patting the red dragon's head in a comforting manner, he continued to reiterate his will: to return to that dilapidated shrine.

Even if no one ever steps over the moss-covered stone steps again, even if no one ever pushes open the long-sealed shrine door again.

"Yeah,"

"Was this really a decision you made alone?"

"Or was it that his style of doing things was out of step with the rest of Takamagahara, and he was being manipulated by someone with ulterior motives, which led to his decision?"

"The fewer divine positions, the better."

"After all, only the gods who are part of it can receive more faith, right?"

Such a rhetorical question left Ichimokuren speechless.

However, despite his inner turmoil, he had no intention of changing his mind.

He had long anticipated his own disappearance.

I have already chosen to accept it in my heart.

On the contrary, the red dragon beneath Yu Zhi's feet became increasingly restless.

Because it never imagined that the seemingly scoundrel little human being was saying things that were similar to the resentment it had been harboring.

In fact, he directly said what he wanted to say but dared not say!

After all, in that dimension, Takamagahara symbolizes the supreme.

Even the gods among them dared not easily vent their dissatisfaction.

Otherwise, the powerful serpent god would not have been stripped of his divine status, labeled as an evil god, and permanently sealed in the narrow passage thousands of years ago.

"Takamagahara is no longer pure,"

"You should know this better than I do."

Huang continued to add.

For this kind of gentle fellow who is without desires and willing to give up his power and divinity, Ara could not find a way to directly form a contract with him.

Therefore, they chose to take an unconventional approach and explore a possibility in an alternative way.

"None of the high and mighty gods care that you chose to fall into demonhood in order to protect humanity and gain power, right?"

"Those gods who haven't given anything yet still have a constant stream of worshippers at their shrines, with no shortage of devotees offering their faith, right?"

"So, what exactly is the meaning behind what you've been persisting in?"

"To dedicate oneself to ignite the flame of others?"

"Until the last ounce of strength is used up, and then you step into death together with your guardian beast?"

"That's truly magnificent,"

"How tragic."

Huang muttered to himself,

There was no response from that person.

However, during this time, one could hear something whimpering from beneath its feet.

It is probably communicating with its owner.

However, this unconventional approach, along with the guardian beast's plea, still failed to change anything for Ichimokuren.

"Are you done?"

His voice remained calm and detached, showing no sign of personal sorrow.

Some beliefs are ingrained in one's very being and will never change.
