How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

But one thing he was very clear about was that the being before him was incredibly powerful... This being was so powerful that he could hardly describe it!

"Asahina, let's just let this matter rest. I know you want to seek justice for Takiyasha-hime and Hime, but that's impossible."

"Although I have always been called willful, unreasonable and tyrannical by the gods, all of my willfulness comes from my mother."

“My mother, who is even more proud than me, will not say anything about this.”

"Moreover, as I just said, even if you know where your mother is, you can't really reach her."

"She is in a place that very few people can reach except the gods."

"And even if we could get to that place, we still wouldn't be able to actually see our mother."

The girl spoke softly, as if she were trying to persuade someone.

However, the boy in front of me had no such awareness whatsoever.

"A place that ordinary people cannot reach... a place that only gods can enter, it really makes one want to go and see it."

The boy clenched his fist and couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister, I know you mean well, but I've already promised Lady Himiko and Princess Takiyasha, so no matter where that place is, I have to go!"

"Just tell me, what place is that?"

“…”

Although the voice was calm, it conveyed a sense of determination that "I must go no matter what."

Looking at her younger brother, Shimizu Mio wanted to say something, but in the end she could only sigh helplessly.

As the older sister, she knew her younger brother all too well.

Since he had said he was going, he would never back down no matter what.

Even if the person I'm about to face is my own mother!

"...Never mind...Although people say I'm willful and unreasonable, and that no one can change my mind once I've made up my mind, your personality is no different from mine. Even I can't persuade you."

With a soft sigh, Shimizu Mio could only helplessly look at her willful younger brother.

Even though her younger brother is very willful, what can she do when she's the older sister?

No matter how willful the younger brother is, the older sister can only spoil him, right?

"Who told me to be my sister's brother?"

As if guessing the black-haired girl's compromise, Shimizu Asahi gave a rare, playful smile.

Then, after shaking her head with a smile, Shimizu Mio said softly, "My mother and father separated because of some things. Now, my mother lives in another world... well, to put it more clearly, the underworld."

"My mother now resides in the Land of the Dead and holds sway over the entire Land of the Dead."

"Yellow Spring... Country?"

The unfamiliar name reached the boy's ears, and he subconsciously murmured it, but he quickly realized what it meant.

"Yellow Springs, isn't that the underworld?"

Although the term "Yellow Springs" doesn't appear often here, he, who is quite knowledgeable about other places and countries, knows that the so-called Yellow Springs is another name for the underworld.

But... isn't the Lord of the Underworld the Lord of the Yellow Springs?

Shouldn't the ruler of the underworld be Lord Yama?

"The Yellow Springs Kingdom that my sister mentioned is a different place from the Underworld. Hmm... it's a country in another dimension that governs death."

"Perhaps, saying it this way will make it a little clearer."

"People in this country go to the underworld after they die, but the gods go to the Yellow Springs."

"Gods...go to the underworld?"

The words, though seemingly inexplicable, carried a sense of utter self-evidentness. After hearing them clearly, Shimizu Asahi fell into a brief silence, but soon his eyes lit up again.

"I see!"

He grinned. Chapter 827 Is this what they call a relationship?

When ordinary people die and go to the underworld, they will fight desperately because they are unwilling to face death. Therefore, underworld ghost messengers are born to guard and monitor the four directions.

Even an ordinary person is unwilling to face their own death, let alone a god.

The gods who should have lived in this world with immortality died here for various reasons and then went to the underworld.

However, the gods would never so easily admit their death.

As gods possessing immense divine power, they would never easily leave with the ghost messengers. The future, life, power, strength... everything gave them the courage and motivation to rebel.

Therefore, resistance is essential.

Although most gods are no match for ghost messengers, ghost messengers cannot suppress gods perfectly every time. Moreover, this world is full of hidden talents. Even if they suppress a god they cannot deal with in the next moment, what if a god they cannot defeat appears?

The black and white ghost messengers easily suppressed it.

At that time, the power of Enma would be indispensable.

But as mentioned before, how can Yama, the ruler of the underworld, always appear to deal with these problems in this way?

Therefore, after a god dies, he must never enter the underworld.

But if the gods don't go to the underworld, where else can they go?

——Huang Quanguo.

The answer is already quite clear.

The Land of the Dead is a place where gods go for reincarnation!

"I see... I never imagined that even gods would have a place like the underworld."

Qingshui Chaoyang burst out laughing.

He now finally understood why his sister had said that even if he knew where Lady Izanami was, it would be impossible for him to go there.

A place specifically for the refuge of gods, a place that gods can only go to after they die. How could an ordinary person like him possibly set foot there?

Although he can freely enter and leave the underworld, it's because his sister is the Great Goddess who governs the current gods. Even if Yama notices his comings and goings, she will turn a blind eye.

Although it has a certain slant to it, there's no way around it; people with connections are always different.

But things are different now. Although Shimizu Asahi can ask Shimizu Mio to help him go to the Land of the Dead, the Land of the Dead is under the control of Izanami. If he, an ordinary person, goes in, he will inevitably be detected. Similarly, Shimizu Mio will also be detected.

He didn't care about himself, but he felt extremely guilty if Shimizu Mio was implicated.

Therefore, one cannot simply go to the land of the dead.

However, I can't not go.

We need to think of a way...

As her thoughts began to flow, Qing Shui Chaoyang gently squinted her eyes.

Seeing her younger brother's narrowed eyes, Shimizu Mio more or less guessed what he was thinking. Feeling that her love for her brother had not been in vain, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Asahiya, it is impossible for you to go to the Land of the Dead without my help."

"You may not know this, but in fact, there is an entrance to the Land of the Dead."

"Many years ago, before I was born, the entrance to the Land of the Dead was still at Hirasaka, and the gods could come and go freely. But after that, my mother and father had a conflict, and my father blocked the entrance to the Land of the Dead with the Thousand-Pulse Stone, which led to the current situation."

"The gods cannot go to the land of the dead, and the people of the land of the dead cannot leave the land of the dead."

Upon hearing her older sister's words, Shimizu Asahi was momentarily stunned.

He still thought that the Land of the Dead and this world were separate, just like the Ghost Realm and this world.

Unexpectedly, the two places were actually connected, but were blocked by a stone.

But is it really that powerful that a single stone can separate two worlds...?

"Yes, both Father's and Mother's strength far surpass ours. In fact, even the divine artifacts we use were left behind by them."

"Although the Totsuka Blades were destroyed because of that Minotaur guy, that's enough to prove their strength,"

"The Thousand-Attracting Stone contains immense power; any living person who gets close will instantly become dead. Even if you are currently quite strong and have spiritual energy protecting you, you still cannot withstand your father's attack."

"Therefore, it is impossible for one person to go in."

"Since you're planning to go, there's nothing I can do but accompany you."

"Come with me... Sister, what are you planning to do?"

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Asahi was stunned. His older sister... was going with him too?

"Well, although ordinary people cannot go to the Land of the Dead, and even gods can only go there when the time comes, I am, after all, my father and mother's child, so going there normally is no problem for me."

"Even without using normal means, I can still go to the land of the dead."

"It's definitely okay to bring you along. Even if others notice, no one except my mother will dare to question me."

"Moreover, I also visit my mother in the Land of the Dead from time to time."

"I see... "

The boy nodded somewhat absentmindedly, not quite understanding.

"Since my sister says so, then it's settled!"

When do we set off for the Land of the Dead?

"Hmm... let me think about it. Going to see my mother can't be that simple... I need to make some preparations."

Shimizu Mio lowered her head and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but smile, giving her younger brother a reassuring smile.

"Leave this to my sister, she'll handle it."

"Don't you need my help?"

Subconsciously, he asked the question, but the moment he opened his mouth, he knew he had asked something unnecessary.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. Before that, you should help that paper dance find the truth from eight hundred years ago."

"Although my sister doesn't think we can find the truth here."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister."

With a soft sigh of relief, Qing Shui Chaoyang didn't ask any more questions.
