This was the general approach that Huang had devised before even setting foot on this ancient land of the sun.

but,

Without a doubt, with its current strength, it could never be a match for the Sun God lineage.

After all, that is the highest-ranking deity in Takamagahara, fundamentally different from the other eight million deities. Moreover, if one were to truly anger the deity, it would not be an exaggeration to say that one would have to wage war against the entire Takamagahara.

Therefore, the second thought only arose in Huang's mind and was hesitated for a short while before being rejected.

The reason for the hesitation is that there are no absolute facts.

Takamagahara is indeed powerful,

If Huang's own power is insufficient, then he will seek assistance from a higher deity on equal footing!

If the dark serpent sealed in the narrow passage was able to wreak havoc on the entire Divine Court thousands of years ago, it can do the same now!

However, Huang has a way to contact the other party:

The altar built by the Kyoto Genji clan was the place where they could communicate with the evil god of the past.

Furthermore, Ichimokuren had previously murmured with some melancholy that Takamagahara seemed to be facing some problems, no longer as peaceful and solemn as it had been a thousand years ago, but rather with an undercurrent of turmoil.

Even the usually peaceful and adorable Goddess of Marriage committed such a thing in a fit of rage, and subsequently left Takamagahara.

As for the specific reasons, Ichimokuren did not elaborate, only sighing with a touch of sorrow and respect at the end: "Although He was not stripped of His divine status, His once magnificent and numerous shrines have been reduced to the size of cardboard boxes."

The scale and number of shrines undoubtedly have a huge impact on any deity.

This means whether or not we can attract more and more believers to worship us, thereby gaining the power of our existence and symbolic strength.

Therefore, in any case,

Once the evil god descends, regardless of the undercurrents that already existed within Takamagahara, or in order to deal with this guy who once stirred up terrifying chaos in the divine court, they will have no time to care about the trivial matter of Queen Himiko, who has divine blood, marrying a mortal.

Huang did indeed have such an impulsive plan.

However, after considering the vast gap between himself and the evil god, he still chose to give up.

Equal dialogue and cooperation must be based on the premise that the two sides are of equal strength.

Otherwise, they would end up like the Genji, with their entire family becoming pitiful pawns used by the evil god Yamata no Orochi to escape the Hazama trap.

Let's set aside the second, extremely difficult option of killing a god, or the option of diverting the trouble elsewhere.

The remaining two methods would require the assistance of the woman in front of him.

Because she was the Queen's most trusted confidante and also held immense prestige in the city.

"Yes, I had a dream a few days ago."

The special inquiry from the Onmyoji from another realm finally touched Yao Ji's heart, causing her to halt her departure and give the following reply.

Upon hearing this, Huang did not speak immediately. He calmly met the woman's beautiful eyes, which were filled with turmoil. Her pupils contracted slightly as if she were recalling something terrible.

Princess Youji clearly also sensed from the former's eyes that she should continue the narrative.

For a moment, her soft lips and teeth moved back and forth between opening and closing, as she hesitated about telling a stranger about her dream.

However, due to the quiet waiting of the Onmyoji in front of her and her own lingering fear of the dream, she decided to confide this secret, which she had not even told her own father and the Queen, to the stranger in front of her.

"It was a terrible nightmare, but I only have fragmented memories left."

"The peaceful Sunwheel City no longer experiences sunrise and sunset,"

"A gloomy, deathly aura permeated the entire city, and everyone who lived there was like a puppet who had lost their sense of self."

"The prosperity is gone, the liveliness is gone, even Her Majesty the Queen..."

After she opened her mouth, Yao Ji's voice gradually became excited and trembling. It was clear that the apocalyptic scene and the secret she had kept hidden in her heart made her emotions somewhat difficult to control.

It wasn't until she mentioned her most respected queen that Yo-hime snapped out of her increasingly agitated narration and abruptly ended the conversation.

How could she possibly do anything to slander Lady Himiko?

That is the Queen, whom the entire Sunwheel City loves and respects immensely!

Moreover, the sun has been the foundation for the continued existence of many life forms since ancient times; without the sun, the entire world would collapse.

So how could the City of the Sun, an ancient land of the sun, possibly have degenerated into the gloomy appearance of a ghost realm?

"How could such a sight appear in the City of the Sun, which is protected by the Sun Queen?"

"This is the place where life is born."

As if having had a brief outlet for her emotions, Yao Ji's agitation was somewhat calmed down, and after gradually settling down, she said with a touch of self-deprecation.

"I apologize, esteemed Onmyoji. I was a little agitated just now."

"Please forget the nonsense I just said."

As Yao Ji's emotions stabilized, she gradually returned to the appearance she had when they first met: aloof, composed, resolute, and unapproachable.

She no longer sought any further explanation or guidance from the person before her, for this was the Ancient Land of the Sun, the legendary birthplace of the sun, and blessed by the sun god!

How could such a thing possibly happen?

It must be because I haven't been resting properly lately that I'm having these nonsensical fantasies.

However, even after she had come to terms with it, Yao Ji's attitude towards the young man in front of her did not change in the slightest. She still maintained the most proper etiquette and even a certain amount of gratitude.

After all, it was precisely because the other person listened to their unease and allowed them to express their emotions that they were able to return to normal.

This was a 'blind lie' that she could not utter to any resident of Sunwheel City, not even her closest relatives. Only when facing people outside this ancient city could she barely muster the courage.

"So, goodbye."

May you leave behind some wonderful memories in Sunwheel City.

Looking at the silent stranger, Yao Ji felt no anger. After all, this was a joke caused by her own willfulness.

Therefore, she placed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed slightly before preparing to leave.

[Was it really a premonition?]

As he listened to the woman's trembling voice as she poured out her heart, Huang felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Whether it was due to the secret realm she chose or some divine power within Yao Ji herself, it caused her to have such a nightmare.

Without a doubt, the Sun Wheel City in Yu's dream is the terrifying consequence of Queen Himiko violating the laws of Takamagahara!

The plague raged,

Life is dying out.

A once vibrant world has been transformed into a realm of demons and monsters!

"What if the danger comes from the sun itself?"

Watching the woman leave, Huang spoke, his words containing undisguised offense.

After all, the deity worshipped in this ancient land is the sun god!

And the sun, without a doubt, is the symbol of this supreme deity!

"Onmyoji from another land, please watch your words and actions."

"This is the birthplace of the sun!"

As expected, in response to such a blasphemous question, Yao Ji turned around abruptly. Her slightly furrowed brows and her suddenly cooled tone revealed her dissatisfaction and even hostility!

Even the Moonblade that he had hung on the saddle, in his anger, crossed the distance between them and landed steadily in his outstretched right palm.

'Wow.'

With the combined effect of strength and emotion, the simple hair tie that had been binding her suddenly snapped, and the woman's three thousand long hairs bloomed magnificently like a peacock spreading its tail!

Bathed in the sunlight, each strand of hair shimmered with a dazzling silver light.

In a fit of rage,

She sheds her gentle demeanor, now wielding a halberd.

Like a Valkyrie who has never been defeated in a hundred battles!

The scene instantly descended into a deadly atmosphere filled with hostility.

Faith is the dragon's Achilles' heel.

It is something that the owner absolutely forbids from being touched!

Therefore, Ara could fully understand Yao Ji's change in attitude, and he did not feel any similar emotions. He simply accepted her emotions with calm gaze.

"Please apologize to the sun for your previous remarks."

"Otherwise, no one in this city will welcome you."

Seeing that the foreign visitors remained unmoved, Yao Ji lowered her voice and issued her final ultimatum.

The Moon Halberd he gripped tightly in his hand was pointed directly at the Onmyoji in his field of vision. The sharpness flowing from the tip of the blade was cold and murderous, and there was no sense of joking about it.

"I thought I had been tactful enough."

"The world has fallen into boundless darkness, the undead have taken over this ancient city, and the Sun Queen is powerless to reverse the situation."

"Isn't this exactly what happened after the sun abandoned this ancient land?"

Faced with this pointed intimidation, Huang finally spoke, but without offering any apology.

They even ignored the sharp blades approaching them and added more extreme words.

After all, he came to help, not to pander to the other party's beliefs.

Although the Cloud Mirror was something he desired on this trip, he knew he would have another chance.

I imagine the woman before me will be even more composed when she comes next time.

How could Yao Ji bear or find peace after hearing such words?

"Ignorant person!"

There was not much debate.

Even if what the former says is reasonable and well-founded, or even meets the preconditions for the occurrence of the dream scenario.

However, after confiding in others and trying to understand herself, she completely reconciled that the dream was her own problem, just a false nightmare.
