I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

At Seimei Shrine, Abe Shōkichi's hands, resting on his knees, were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He could sense that the spiritual energy in Kyoto was unusually thin and sluggish tonight, and the shikigami that he used to be able to control with ease were now extremely difficult to manipulate.

Those spirits and deities who rely on shrines and rituals to maintain their contracts will almost inevitably suffer a backlash once they lose a stable supply of spiritual energy.

"Have you found the cause...?" Abe Shokichi asked in a hoarse voice.

"After investigation, the senior members of the Shinto headquarters..." the middle-aged priest lowered his head, "they suspect the source of the abnormal flow of spiritual energy... is in the west."

west.

Summer.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees instantly.

The two previous inexplicable shikigami uprisings and the shattering of divine tablets had already severely damaged the extraordinary realm of the Sakura Kingdom.

This time, it has directly shaken the very foundation!

"Baka..." a hot-tempered high-ranking member of the Onmyoji Bureau couldn't help but growl, "What the hell are those Great Xia people doing?!"

No one answered.

But a chill ran through everyone.

The Great Xia Dynasty has a very deep historical foundation.

Their understanding was so profound that they couldn't even comprehend what methods the other party used to remotely plunge the Sakura Kingdom into such a predicament.

"Cough...cough cough!"

At that moment, Abe Shokichi suddenly coughed violently, his face turned red, and then he bent over abruptly.

"puff!"

A mouthful of dark red blood splattered onto the floor, a horrifying sight.

"Lord Changji?!"

"Quick! Call a doctor!"

The room instantly descended into chaos.

Abe Shōkichi was supported by the crowd. His vision blurred, his ears were ringing, and only the words "Dai-tsu" kept echoing in his mind.

He recalled the Kunlun incident not long ago.

The Holy Light Church, the New World, the White Elephant Kingdom... all the elites of the extraordinary world from various countries were lost, only the Cherry Blossom Kingdom was spared because it did not participate.

At the time, he secretly rejoiced and gloated.

But now...

Abe Shōkichi felt that the golden age of the extraordinary world in Japan was about to end prematurely before it even began.

……

New World, Bureau of Paranormal Phenomena Research.

Jason stared at the distribution map of spiritual energy on the big screen, his brows furrowed.

The map clearly shows that global spiritual energy is flowing toward Great Xia at an unprecedented speed.

"Chief, the data is in."

A researcher strode over with a report: "The average concentration of spiritual energy nationwide has decreased by 15%, with some areas experiencing a decrease of up to 20%."

"But at the same time..."

The researcher paused, his expression strange: "The activity of the anomalous items contained by the department has also decreased accordingly."

"Some low-level anomalous items have even entered a dormant state."

"At the same time, those S-level forbidden areas have become much quieter."

Jason was stunned.

"Is this...a good thing?"

He asked somewhat uncertainly.

Data shows that a decrease in spiritual energy concentration is a bad thing for cultivators.

However, the reduced activity of unusual items and the quietness of restricted areas are good for maintaining social stability.

What on earth is Da Xia up to?

"besides."

The researcher added, "We just received intelligence that chaos has broken out in the land of Sakura tonight, with shikigami and demons going out of control, causing numerous casualties."

"Their spiritual energy concentration dropped even more than ours, estimated to be over 30%."

"Has something happened in Japan?"

"Yes, according to our people, Japan has suffered heavy casualties and has deployed troops to suppress the unrest."

Jensen stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

The Great Xia Dynasty caused such a huge commotion that it affected the entire world, but only the Sakura Country suffered the most severe losses?

This targeting... seems a bit too obvious, doesn't it?

Jansen recalled the characteristics he had summarized while studying the history of the Great Xia Dynasty:

Holding a grudge!

Can an enemy from nine generations ago still be avenged? Can an enmity from a hundred generations ago still be avenged?

The people of Daxia are the most vengeful.

For a moment, Jason's feelings were extremely complicated.

There was both fear of the Great Xia's strength and a touch of schadenfreude at the misfortune of the Sakura Kingdom.

"Director, what do we do now?" the researcher asked.

Jason pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Bring me the Black Palace."

"The current situation must be reported, and at the same time, the resurgence of spiritual energy can no longer be concealed."

"We need to prepare our statements in advance to address the public's questions."

……

Varanasi, the land of the white elephant.

In the ancient temple on the banks of the Ganges, Kanishka, the ascetic monk and senior brother of Mahadeva, sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.

In front of him lay intelligence reports sent by the authorities.

"Junior brother..."

Kanishka chanted the scriptures in a low voice, a trace of compassion flashing in his eyes.

Mahadeva died in the battle of Kunlun, his soul scattered, and he didn't even have the chance to be reincarnated.

This is the greatest loss to the extraordinary realm of White Elephant Kingdom in nearly thirty years.

"A true dragon has awakened in the East."

Kanishka slowly opened his eyes and looked eastward: "This is the inevitable trend, and it cannot be reversed."

He got up, walked outside the temple, looked at the Ganges River, and made up his mind.

"Pass on the order."

Kanishka said to his disciples behind him, "Suspend all actions against Great Xia."

"In addition, prepare a generous gift for the Great Xia Night Watchmen."

"Just say it's... Happy Chinese New Year."

The disciple was taken aback: "Master, this..."

"Do as instructed." Kanishka waved his hand, unwilling to say more.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

The Battle of Kunlun has already proven the strength of the Great Xia.

Now they've created a global upheaval in spiritual energy; such methods are beyond human capability.

It's better to befriend than to confront.

At the very least, we cannot act rashly before we have a clear understanding of the specific details.

……

Europa, headquarters of the Church of Holy Light.

Pope Gregory XVII stood on the terrace of St. Peter's Basilica, gazing eastward, silent for a long time.

He was holding an urgent report that had just been delivered.

The Great Xia is devouring the world's spiritual energy.

The shikigami in the Sakura Kingdom rioted, causing heavy casualties.

Extraordinary organizations around the world are in a state of panic.

"East……"

The Pope muttered to himself, his voice old and weary.

He recalled the crushing defeat at Kunlun, the death of Archbishop Rudolf, and the annihilation of the twelve Knights Templar.

This is the most devastating loss the Holy Light Church has suffered since the end of the Dharma!

"Could it be... that a true god has already been born in the Great Xia Dynasty?!"

For the first time, fear gripped the Pope's heart.

"His Majesty."

At that moment, a cardinal hurried over and whispered, "All the countries of Europe have sent requests to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with tonight's events."

The Pope remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding.

"Inform them to convene a secret meeting immediately."

"Yes."

The cardinal withdrew.

The Pope stood alone on the terrace, gazing eastward, a sense of crisis rising within him like never before.

The rise of the Great Xia Dynasty is now unstoppable.

……

Similar scenes have been playing out in extraordinary institutions around the world.

Everyone detected the unusual flow of spiritual energy on Earth tonight.

Everyone turned their attention to the east.

That ancient and mysterious country.

Meanwhile, at the Southern Observatory in the Atacama Desert of the Ribbon Country, several researchers observing the night sky discovered something strange.

"Look at Neptune..." a young researcher pointed to the screen, "Isn't it a little brighter than yesterday?"

An older researcher nearby came over and carefully compared the data.

"The apparent diameter seems..." the senior researcher frowned, "...to have increased?"

The researchers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Doesn't this mean that Neptune is getting closer to Earth?

Although the changes are extremely small, the instrument data does not lie.

"Record it and continue observing," the senior researcher said in a deep voice. "If this trend continues..."

He didn't finish speaking.

But everyone understands what that means.
