Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

While the thirteen fire dogs were still searching for him, Kotegawa silently floated into the void where the two dogs had disappeared earlier.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed dramatically.

Anticipating an ambush, he instantly activated Nightmare and Evil King True Form, and without even looking, drifted away from the spot.

Unfortunately, nothing happened.

After a while, he returned, looking calm. Although he was a little embarrassed, no one knew, so there was nothing awkward about it.

He looked up and saw a huge, towering black stone gate about two kilometers ahead, surrounded by thick fog.

On either side of what appeared to be a colossal gate reaching to the heavens, crouched a dog-like monster the size of a small mountain.

These two dogs didn't look like the two he'd fooled before... They both had three heads, three pairs of pupils of different colors that gleamed with a cold, bloodthirsty light, and their bodies were covered with strange, fiery red patterns.

Feeling the imposing aura and suppressive power emanating from the two three-headed dogs ahead, which was almost as strong as his own when he was at full power, Kotegawa's gaze became much more serious.

Cerberus? Cerberus?

In mythology, it's the watchdog of hell, capable of breathing fire and poisonous mist...

"Why is there a three-headed dog in the Underdark? Is it the real Cerberus, or just a similar-looking species?" His gaze shifted to the two massive stone doors that opened inward, and a storm raged in his heart.

Could this place be the real underworld? Is it the location of the eighteen levels of hell? Is it the true afterlife, the place of judgment and reincarnation for souls?

He snapped out of his reverie and began to think seriously.

Now how to do?

Sneak in?

Or should I leave?

This place wasn't marked on the map the little fox gave him; it was a completely unexpected find, so perhaps there was no need to go in at all.

He turned around, but couldn't help looking back.

But if this place is the real underworld, is it possible to find Qingkong's parents here?

He spun around in place, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

He took a deep breath, calming the pounding in his heart.

This matter has been weighing on my mind. Even if I leave now, I'll keep thinking about it, losing my appetite and sleep. Then one day I'll inevitably come back. So let's be decisive and get to the bottom of this clearly!

Having made his decision, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He once again used the true form of the Evil King and pushed Nightmare Dream to its limit, turning it into wisps of smoke and rushing towards the gate at extreme speed.

Nightmare definitely can't control these two three-headed dog monsters, and may not even be affected by them.

Legend has it that the three-headed dog served two purposes: first, to guard Hell and prevent the great demons from escaping and wreaking havoc on the human world; and second, to stop living beings from entering.

In short, they are not easy to get along with.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the stone doorway, raising his vigilance to the highest level.

The two three-headed dogs crouching on either side clearly shifted their gaze downwards, locking onto him.

His heart sank; as expected, the nightmares couldn't affect them!

Surprisingly, they didn't seem to try to stop him at all, letting him rush past.

Kotegawa was surprised for a moment.

At that moment, a booming, thunderous voice entered his ears: "Your Excellency Kitami Takezon's envoy, welcome to the Land of the Earth."

Kotegawa, who was still charging forward, suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and looked on with undisguised astonishment in his eyes.

The two Cerberus outside the gate slowly withdrew their gazes from him and looked ahead again.

He was even more confused.

Kitami Kenzun... So he has such a high status?

Did I accidentally end up hooking up with a super powerful guy?

Kotegawa walked forward dejectedly.

This trip to the Underdark felt like I'd never seen the world before; I ended up having to outwit and outmaneuver thin air twice.

But we can't really blame him, can we?

Who would have known that those two-headed and three-headed dogs knew Kitami Takezon? Who would have known that Kitami Takezon had such a great influence?

Therefore, his decision was completely correct!

Only those who are sufficiently cautious and prudent can live long! That's right! The first to die are always the complacent megalomaniacs!

He clenched his fist and nodded.

Anyway, no one will know about this embarrassing thing!

When he returned to Tokyo, he was still that upright and indomitable man!

After completing his mental preparation, he took a deep breath, his body transformed into clouds and mist, soaring into the sky, gazing ahead.

Before me stretched an endless wilderness, with thick clouds obscuring the distance, the outlines of mountains barely visible.

The voice that just welcomed him said this place is "the Land of the Earth," which is quite a strange name.

However, since it is a "country", it is understandable that its territory is relatively large.

Let's hurry on our journey, find a local monster, and hopefully find a familiar fire-wheeled carriage...

Wisps of cloud drifted across the void, soon reaching the edge of the wasteland. Further ahead, vast stretches of Ghost Claw Black Forest appeared.

The Black Claw Forest stretches endlessly, seemingly extending into the depths of even more distant mountains.

He appeared on the ground, took a chair to rest, and estimated the time.

He ate twice and rested once after arriving here from Huanwu Mountain... estimating, about a day and a half had passed outside.

He stood up, looked around, found a secluded spot to take care of his personal matters, rested for half a day, and after fully recovering his strength, he put away his stool, slung his sword bag over his shoulder, transformed into clouds, and rose into the sky to look ahead once more.

The Ghost Claw Black Forest is a vast, dark expanse that stretches all the way to the foot of a majestic mountain, the summit of which is shrouded in clouds and mist.

He stared blankly, and for no apparent reason, he suddenly gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The mountain looked strangely familiar to him... Except for the absence of snowflakes fluttering in the air, its shape and form were almost identical to the one in Hokkaido!

If you continue on your journey and suddenly encounter Kitamura Kenzo, and he says to you something like, "Surprised? Unexpected?"...

He shook his head vigorously, banishing the idea from his mind.

No, no, no, how could Kitami Takezon possibly be in a place like this?

Although He is a deity of the fourth order, He is clearly related to snow, and may be the mountain god of that snow mountain in Hokkaido... So it's just a mountain that looks somewhat similar. Yes, that must be it. Occasionally, two strangers will look very similar, and it may not even be limited to gender, so it's not unusual for two mountain ranges to look similar occasionally...

Besides, I've never heard of any connection between Kitami Takematsu and the Queen of the Underworld... although I've also never heard of them being completely estranged...

He resisted the urge to turn and run, and with six parts doubt and four parts vigilance, he slowly drifted over the Ghost Claw Black Forest.

Making a judgment based solely on a mountain that looks similar is too hasty, but caution is the right thing to do.

After all, who exactly is Kitamune Takezon?

Besides the Three Noble Ones, what other deities are in the Fourth Order of Gods? Surely the Queen of the Ghost Path couldn't be one of them, could she?

The thought startled him, but he immediately shook his head, thinking it impossible.

Both Gu Ying and Kitami Kenzun had grudges against the close attendants under the Queen of the Ghost Path.

Kitamune Takemikazuchi and the Viper God were even more irreconcilable enemies, their animosity surpassing even that between Kitamune Takemikazuchi and the Demon King.

Therefore... Kitamune Takemikazuchi and the Queen of the Underworld are unlikely to be allies in the same camp.

"Please don't let it be..." he thought to himself.

Because of the Evil Spirit Society, he always regarded the Ghost Queen as their biggest leader.

He kills the Demon King every time he sees him, and if they meet again, he will even destroy its true spirit! But if his strength allows, he also wants to break into the Yellow Springs and give this biggest boss a few good beatings, so that it will stop letting its subordinates do evil.

But Kitamune Kenzo was different. From these few exchanges, he could sense that this deity, who was human a thousand years ago, still held goodwill towards humans, including towards him.

Kotegawa frowned again. This feeling of not knowing anything and having to rely on wild speculation was very uncomfortable.

If he dies, his true spirit will return to the Yellow Springs, and then he should be able to see the Queen of the Ghost Path, right?

Therefore, to avoid this situation, one must strive to become a god.

The cloud he transformed into suddenly accelerated, rushing into the distance.

If he kept thinking like this, all he could think about was running away.

Wisps of cloud silently swept across the Ghost Claw Black Forest, plunged into the mountains, and then rose straight up to the mountain peak.

Kotegawa did not reveal himself, but looked down at the ground and found no trace of any yokai activity. Kitamatsu Takematsu also did not appear and called him down for a cup of tea.

It's just an ordinary, desolate mountain.

He realized he was just scaring himself. He stopped hesitating and increased his speed, crossing the place without stopping.

After passing through the layers of clouds and mist shrouding the mountains, his vision suddenly cleared, revealing billions of stars twinkling in the sky, a silver full moon, countless lights on the ground, rows of low-roofed tiled houses, and bustling figures on the streets.

For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the human world.

It felt like an electric current surged through his body, making his scalp tingle and his hair stand on end.

Is this really the Dark Land?

There are stars and moonlight, and city-sized buildings...

Could he be dreaming? Or perhaps he's unknowingly fallen under some kind of illusion, trapped in a nightmare-like dream world?

“The land kingdom…” he murmured to himself, his figure circling in the air once before swooping down and landing in the largest building complex in the area, where his figure quietly emerged.

The lively shouts, the sizzling aroma of food, and the boisterous laughter all rushed towards him.

Rows of lanterns hung in front of the vendors' stalls, and pedestrians on the street were dressed in long robes and Wu-style clothing, with wooden clogs on their feet.
