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

------

A day later, after resting overnight in Izumo Province, Shimizu Mio and Asahi got up early and set off. Thanks to Shimizu Mio's quick speed, the two arrived back in Heian-kyo around noon.

As soon as they landed, Ibuki was already waiting for them at the gate.

"Welcome back, sir."

"Yes, I'm back."

After taking off his shoes, he and Shimizu Mio returned to their warm and cozy home.

Because of fate, the girls knew Shimizu Asahi's whereabouts. When he appeared in Izumo, they knew he was coming back.

"Lunch is ready."

"Thank you for your help."

After a long absence, the family enjoyed a lively lunch together at the guesthouse. Afterwards, Shimizu Asahi began to recount his recent trip.

He recounted the stories of Yama-kun, Izanami, and the interesting things he encountered during his time as Yama-kun, which the girls listened to with great interest. They never got tired of anything related to him.

Soon, he told his whole story, and at the end, he turned his gaze to Takiyasha-hime.

"Takiyasha-hime... The incident at the Sun Wheel Castle was an accident, and Lady Izanami has indeed expressed her apologies."

"Although it's not good for me to say this, it's the best attitude I can get."

"...Yes, I know. Besides, this was already discussed when we set off, so you don't need to do this, Chaoyang."

Princess Takiyasha didn't feel anything was wrong. Although it was indeed infuriating that Izanami destroyed the Sun Wheel City, she was the Mother Goddess of Creation, whose strength and status were above everyone else. No one could possibly make such a being pay the price for someone who had died.

Not to mention, if this gets out, the whole world will probably laugh at the City of the Sun.

Even though it's tragic, that's the truth, an undeniable truth.

For Takiyasha-hime, receiving an apology was already the greatest response she could receive.

"......ah."

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he closed his mouth and only showed a slight smile.

"Alright, I've covered most of my business. What about you all? In Heian-kyo, Ichizaki Island, and with the teacher, has anything major happened?"

Having finished talking about her own affairs, Shimizu Asahi then turned the topic to Ichizaki Island and Heian-kyo.

After he said that, everyone else chimed in.

"Ichizaki Island has now been reborn. After Himiko made preparations, she broke the spatial seal, allowing Ichizaki Island to reappear. At the same time, the Imperial Family also announced that this is the capital of Yamatai from eight hundred years ago, and that you discovered it. Therefore, this island is entrusted to you, so that you can develop this island as its master."

"Originally, the people in the palace were not really going to agree to this decision, but the importance of the City of the Sun made them hesitant to hand it over so easily."

"But after that young emperor sent them to his residence to find someone, they all fell silent."

Shimizu Asahi's current status in Heian-kyo is quite peculiar.

According to his status, he was Kamo no Tadayuki's disciple and should have been loyal to the Imperial Family. However, on the other hand, he was also the younger brother of Amaterasu Omikami, who was the ancestor worshipped by the Imperial Family. Therefore, the young emperor and the others should all call him their ancestor.

In terms of strength, he is almost on par with the Demon King and might break through at any moment. Only Kamo no Tadayuki and Abe no Masataka can suppress him. If it were just him alone, it wouldn't be a problem. But the key is that he also has a wife.

With three powerful demons and two demon kings, plus their two maternal home mountains, Mount Oe and Mount Suzuka, Heian-kyo was immediately rendered speechless.

Now there's another one, Takiyasha-hime, who might even be stronger than the Demon King; her strength is beyond imagination.

No matter who it is, as long as they provoke him, or make him want to kill them, then that person is doomed.

Therefore, the courtiers had no choice but to hand over Ichizaki Island to Shimizu Asahi.

All I can say is that this is the legendary face of an Onmyoji.

P.S.: What's wrong with meeting an anime girl in 7 Days to Die?

Synopsis: Chen Yi, who transmigrated into the sandbox survival game "7 Days to Die," originally thought he would have to live a miserable life alone in this game world, chopping grass, cutting trees, mining, and fighting zombies every day, trying his best to survive.

But he discovered that it was an online game world, and everyone in it was anime-style cute girls...

Shiroi joins the game

Hmm... Spider-Girl is kind of a pretty girl, right...? Chen Yi thought, looking at the little white girl dancing the spider dance in front of him...

Kisara Tendo joins the game... Mumei, Asuna, Rikka Takarada... one after another, beautiful girls from different worlds enter this world every week.

However, the world of 7 Days to Die was not as simple as he had imagined...

Monsters from the girls' world have also entered this world... Gastrea, Kabaneri, the Zombie Lord from CSOL, and the Alien Beasts from Cataclysm, etc.

What he didn't expect was that all the beautiful girls who entered this world were players on their second playthrough!

Also known as "So what if I have a harem in the world of 7 Days to Die?" and "Why are all the beautiful girls in 7 Days to Die reborn players?"

P.S.: For those who haven't played 7 Days to Die, you can think of it as a real-life version of Minecraft.

Chapter 858, Section 856: The Riot at the Land of the Demons

"Besides Heian-kyo, there's also a situation on Ichizaki Island. Unlike Heian-kyo, where the situation is relatively stable, Ichizaki Island is facing some trouble."

With the Shimizu family in charge of Heian-kyo, they held a virtually absolute power. Anyone who dared to disobey would be beaten up. But Ichizaki Island was different.

The area is far from the emperor's reach, and even with the name "Qingshui Chaoyang" (meaning "clear water and rising sun"), it cannot deter the ambitions of other subordinate states and Onmyoji (yin-yang masters).

Moreover, Shimizu Asahi's reputation was mostly known within Heian-kyo. Only a few people within Heian-kyo knew his identity and strength. In places like Tsushima Island and Hizen Province, people at most knew that he was the successor to Kamo no Tadayuki and the future strongest Onmyoji in Heian-kyo.

However, this "future" prefix meant that people didn't hold him in the same awe as they did for Kamo no Tadayuki.

Therefore, many Onmyoji from all over the world want to go to Ichizaki Island to get a share of the pie.

Even if you can't get the best, at least have a sip of soup.

Indeed, things unfolded exactly as Qing Shui Chaoyang and the others had feared.

However, even so, things didn't get too bad.

Because two unexpected people made their move.

The Tsushima clan of Tsushima Island, and the Kyogoku clan of Izumo Province.

The Tsushima clan of Tsushima Island is extremely loyal to the imperial family and highly reveres Amaterasu Omikami. After learning that Ichizaki Island had become the territory of Shimizu Asahi, he has been working hard to maintain order on Ichizaki Island.

With the help of Meiroku and Izumo Province, the situation on Ichizaki Island was barely stabilized.

"Izumo Province?"

Upon hearing the name Izumo Province, Shimizu Asahi paused for a moment, then laughed.

"I see, so Senior Brother also made a move?"

Izumo Province is located on the border of the San'in Road and is not far from the Saikaido. If troops were to be dispatched, they could arrive quickly. With the protection of the Izumo royal family, the situation on Ichizaki Island naturally became less urgent.

After all, not many Onmyoji dared to be enemies of a country.

However, even if the situation is stabilized, it doesn't mean that things are over. If Himiko wants Ichizaki Island to develop, she can't just rely on others. She also needs to cultivate her own subordinates.

However, he didn't need to worry about that; the former lord of the Sun Wheel City would definitely find a way to resolve it.

"It seems I don't need to get involved on Ichizaki Island."

The black-haired boy chuckled softly. He had been thinking that if Himiko found those little rats too annoying, he would take people to deal with them. But before he could even speak, Tsushima Island and Izumo Province sent troops to help.

This is probably what people call connections.

"Well, you can start studying properly for a while now."

Reiko nodded with a smile.

"Oh, right, Asahi, there's one more thing. Itsukushima has been rebuilt. Oto came to see us not long ago, saying we wanted to come over and visit."

At this moment, Ye Zi suddenly remembered the girl who possessed the divine artifact, so she mentioned it.

"Sound? Has Itsukushima been completed?"

"Hmm... I'll go take a look in a while."

The boy's eyes lit up slightly, and he made up his mind without hesitation.

So, for the next period of time, Shimizu Asahi stayed at home and rested peacefully, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him. He did nothing but travel around and climb mountains to enjoy the view.

Those comfortable days were the envy of everyone.

Of course, he also took advantage of this leisurely time to visit various places.

For example, his senior brothers and teachers were already busy, and Kidomaru was already used to having one more person. Oh, and of course, he also went to Itsukushima and the Izumo royal family.

Yin deliberately invited him, so it wouldn't be good to refuse. Besides, there's Izumo Kingdom; his senior brother had helped him so much, so of course he had to go and thank him. Moreover, they hadn't seen each other for several years, so this was a good opportunity for them to get together.

While Qingshui Chaoyang was enjoying the scenery and gazing into the distance, the world's situation began to change little by little.

As time went by, Ichizaki Island gradually stabilized and was able to continue to grow even without relying on others. Meanwhile, some yokai were also seen in human villages and cities.

Although the matter concerning Shimizu Asahi has been resolved, and the issues of the City of the Sun and the Kingdom of the Underworld have been settled, this does not mean that the world is now at peace.

Ichizaki Island is just a microcosm. Although it attracted everyone's attention when it was first born, what came back into everyone's view after the storm passed was another major event that truly swept the entire world!

A world where humans and demons coexist!

The coexistence of humans and demons was something Shimizu Asahi began preparing for when she set off for the City of the Sun. Initially, this matter only unfolded in the main city, starting with Anbara and spreading to the surrounding areas. But now, after two months of development, the news has spread throughout the entire world, and almost everyone is discussing it.

However, people around the world have completely different opinions on this matter.

There were already many monsters in Xingyuan City, so the acceptance of monsters was very quick. From Xingyuan to the nearby villages and towns, the people gradually accepted the existence of monsters. However, this was only the situation in the vicinity of Xingyuan City. Outside of Xingyuan City, it was a different story.

People's fear of monsters is ancient and impossible to eliminate all at once. Even though the Kamo family has tried their best and Ibuki has warned the demons of Mount Oe not to go out casually, it is still very difficult.

Most people in the world ultimately hate monsters.

However, those who had anticipated this weren't too worried. This was a protracted war, and temporary setbacks were nothing; as long as they could achieve final victory, that would be enough.

However, just when everyone thought things would continue to develop as expected, the situation... changed again.

------

Heian-kyo, the back mountain of the Kamo clan, is where Kamo Tadashi lived in seclusion.

Kamo no Yasunori set aside all his affairs and came before his father.

"Father, this matter has already swept across the entire sea area. If it is not brought under control quickly, it will soon spread to the entire Yamato Country."

"I have sent people to control the situation, but those monsters... are too strong. It is simply impossible to control them with just the local army and Onmyoji."
