Death God: A High-Dimensional Overlord, Starting by Devouring the Soul King

Chapter 142 Blessing the Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Venerable

"!"

Rukia's pupils dilated; she hadn't even noticed where the beam of light was coming from!

She looked at the ghost whose head had been pierced and who was clearly lifeless, and immediately turned away.

She only saw a young man, who was handsome and dashing. Even in the darkness, his good looks could be seen. He was dressed in fine clothes, and it was clear at a glance that he was not from the countryside, but came from a big city.

Rukia looked at the other person with some surprise. For some reason, she actually felt a sense of closeness from the other person!

"you----"

Rukia couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"

"My name is Sugawara no Michizane," Sugawara no Michizane said politely. "You're not from Japan, are you?"

Rukia was somewhat surprised, not expecting that she would be recognized so quickly.

However, considering his current appearance, which was indeed quite different from that of the current Japanese, he said, "That's right, but—"

Michizane Sugawara? !

Rukia couldn't possibly not have heard of this name!

This is the original god of Japanese literature in history, and also one of the three great vengeful spirits!

The name Sugawara no Michizane is widely known and respected by the Japanese people of later generations!

I can't believe she actually got to see him today!

As expected of one of the so-called three great vengeful spirits, or perhaps revered by later generations as the god of literature, he truly possesses extraordinary power!

She didn't even notice the light that had just been emitted!

And he killed a ghost with ease!

Ghosts have incredibly strong vitality!

But why would such an important figure appear here?!

Oh wait, it's still early in the timeline!

Sugawara no Michizane is only a teenager, not even twenty years old yet, so strictly speaking, he's not a big shot yet!

Rukia's mind was racing, but she didn't hesitate for long before asking, "Do you have a grudge against those demons?"

“Any human being should have a grudge against them,” Michizane Kanagawa immediately said. “The existence of these demons has already threatened the survival of humankind. It’s just a pity that their mastermind is hiding too well and only appears in such remote areas.”

"As a result, it failed to attract the attention of the imperial court, and I had to go around cleaning up these evil spirits all by myself."

"I see you also possess extraordinary powers. You're the first person I've met who isn't a ghost, but possesses supernatural powers just like me!"

At this point, Guan Yuandao's tone became somewhat agitated.

That's quite normal, since Guan Yuandaozhen has believed for over a decade that he alone possesses this special ability.

According to his family, his grandfather also possessed some supernatural powers, but none as great as his own.

But apart from them, almost no other human being possesses such extraordinary power.

The rest are basically these vicious and wicked ghosts!

Now, during a search trip to the countryside, he discovered Rukia, who was being targeted by a demon. Although he only glanced at her, Michizane Kanbara immediately realized that she was quite powerful.

"After being lonely for more than a decade, Guan Yuandaozhen seems to have finally found his kindred spirit at this moment!"

This made Rukia both understand and surprised her.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be too many superhumans in Japan.

But this world is clearly abnormal. She had seen too many extraordinary people in Europe, and after arriving in Japan, she found that everything around her was much more normal, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But what she didn't know was that while she was meeting with Kanbaru Michizane, the Heian court in Kyoto was also carrying out a reform that would change history dramatically!

"This is an ancient book that Kibi no Makibi brought from Tang Dynasty China."

Several high-ranking officials of the Heian court are currently studying a book.

Kibi no Makibi also holds a pivotal position in the history of Japan. He was an envoy to Tang China and brought back a large number of books from the Tang Dynasty.

These books allowed the Japanese to understand the culture and customs of the Tang Dynasty and also introduced them to the civilized world.

At this time, Japan was learning from the Tang Dynasty in every way. Nobles and high-ranking officials also used Tang Dynasty etiquette and writing, and took pride in it.

Therefore, when something incomprehensible happens in their country, their first instinct is to see how the neighboring Celestial Empire resolves it.

In recent years, however, a major problem has been troubling them!

That is, how to deal with demons!

Japan is a superstitious country, and its people believe that their royal family are descendants of gods.

Even the earliest Queen Himiko was respected because she was said to be able to communicate with the gods.

However, the series of events that have occurred in recent years have forced them to rethink the relationship between supernatural forces and the real world!

Back then, Ōtakemaru killed a large number of government soldiers and destroyed the imperial palace, causing numerous casualties.

People were terrified and regarded Ōtakemaru as a vengeful spirit, even building temples in the hope of appeasing his resentment.

But the story never stopped, and legends of "evil spirits eating people" spread all over the country.

They weren't unaware of ghosts, nor did they refuse to deal with them; they simply had no way to deal with them!

Those ghosts are impervious to swords and spears; each of them is immortal!

Fortunately, these ghosts only operate in remote areas and do not threaten their rule, so they turn a blind eye to them.

Then came the birth of Sugawara no Michizane.

Soon after Sugawara no Michizane was born, he displayed an extremely terrifying talent, and people quickly realized that he possessed supernatural powers!

Guan Yuan Daozhen became a scholar of literature through his own abilities, thus coming into the sights of the Heian court.

Through Michizane Kanbara's abilities, they realized that humans could also possess these powers.

So their first thought was of the Tang Dynasty next door. This great nation must have a way of dealing with these problems!

So they began to carefully examine the books that Kibi no Makibi had brought from the Tang Dynasty!

Finally, their hard work paid off, and they found some records in a book!

This is a book called "The Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection", which was originally given by Kibi no Makibi to the descendants of his friend Abe no Nakamaro.

They discovered a hidden, great existence within this book!

This being is referred to in the book as "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun"!

As long as they do as the book says and have faith in this great deity, they will possess extraordinary power!

This discovery thrilled the imperial court, as it meant they would also be able to have their own agency to handle supernatural events!

"Since this hidden being was discovered through the gathering of the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit, how about we name the organization we're establishing 'Sun, Moon, and Stars Team'?!"
