"Cough, cough, cough..."

Although her face was cold and intimidating without even getting angry, Amaterasu's face was twitching unconsciously, and she was coughing a lot.

"How about you finish coughing first?"

"I'm going to cough, cough, cough--" Amaterasu's eyes twitched twice. She coughed out a mouthful of saliva just as she was about to say a few harsh words. Then she coughed wildly as if she couldn't stop, and finally fell on the table like a corpse.

Blaze could see Amaterasu's red ears starting to smoke.

"...Comedian?" Blazer asked tentatively. He remembered that Greenland had ridiculed himself as a comical character, and his seriousness would only last for a few seconds before he would lose it.

Now it seems that Amaterasu fits this setting.

Amaterasu slowly raised her head, her beautiful features distorted and vanished in the intense heat, only to reappear with the terrifying aura of the sun's head. At this moment, even sitting at a worn wooden table, Amaterasu seemed like a deity crouching on a throne high in the sky, unattainable to gaze upon.

It was as if Blaze had asked about some taboo topic.

"Do you know that the sun's power is so great that it fights for a single container, while the moon's container can hold all moons?"

Because it was too embarrassing, Amaterasu decided to divert the subject by revealing a shocking secret.

"So why are you and Audrey, no, the Silver King, um... still on top? Why do you have a face similar to the moon's?"

Amaterasu remained silent, and Princess Kiinada had to speak up to answer Blaze's questions.

"Amaterasu-sama is the sun, and has a twin sister who is the moon."

"I see." Chicken nodded thoughtfully. She understood, but Blaze didn't, so she immediately explained.

"Simply put, there is only one left of the many sun gods, and the many moon gods have become one."

Chapter 480: The Sun Stays, the Moon Returns

In the Age of Gods, every mythological totem contained its own sun, a symbol of life and greatness. The sun god was the personification of the sun, the embodiment of the sun and the master of its power.

However, with the advent of the Earth-shaking, the totems shattered and the world gradually merged. The changes in the totems reflected the state of the gods, but the sun was separated from the earth and the sky. The sun god was less affected by the Earth-shaking, and the suns therefore appeared in the sky at the same time.

This was both fortunate and unfortunate, as they couldn't even unify into one like the gods of the earth. Their power was too great, and only one could satisfy the needs of an entire world. Unification would expand the power of the sun, doubling its power with each fusion.

The new world could only support one sun, so the suns began to fight for that one container.

It didn't matter who won in the end; this was a brutal arena match, where all the sun gods would besiege one sun god. Even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and they would only be able to shine as the sun in a new world.

Compared to them, the moon is much weaker. They are so weak that even if several moons overlap, they can only reflect the light of the sun. Therefore, the moons overlap, and all the moon incarnations squeeze into the same container, becoming a single moon.

Whatever happened at the end of the Age of the Gods, the outcome was clear.

A moon and a sun.

And the suns all lost their unique moon.

"That battle was extremely cruel. I knew my own limitations and did not participate in it." Amaterasu folded her hands on her thighs and told the story of the Age of Gods lightly.

"The earth is turning upside down, as if to completely wipe out all traces of the Age of the Gods. It never stops. Our totem was just lucky enough not to be affected, but luck is exhausted, and I have long been prepared."

"I imitated the basic structure of this world and created it roughly with a piece of land as the center. This is Takama-ga-hara that you see before you."

Blaze raised his thumb and pointed at the white snake bones standing in the distance.

"Did you involve that thing when you created the world?"

If Amaterasu's creation of a small world is considered to be an act of keeping the flame alive during the apocalyptic disaster, then her inclusion of the Eight Headed Evil Gods was a huge mistake. Apart from Amaterasu herself, no one in the entire Takama-ga-hara could be a match for the Eight Headed Evil Gods.

"One sun corresponds to one world. Only a complete world can accommodate me. And a complete world requires a basic balance, with light and darkness. Yamata no Orochi is necessary for this world. Of course, I am not stupid. I used the corpse of Yamata no Orochi, but I underestimated the vitality represented by the snake."

Amaterasu looked at the white snake bones standing in the distance. The sun-head did not show any expression, but Blaze felt indifference from it, as if she didn't care at all.

It seems that this is what Princess Kiinada said. If you see Amaterasu's true appearance, then Amaterasu's attitude will change irreversibly.

Become cold and indifferent.

Blaze recalled his brief encounter with Amaterasu, laughing and joking like a madman, surpassing the old lion and Odin's riddler, and reaching the level of talking nonsense.

From this perspective, seeing Amaterasu's true face should be some kind of hidden challenge, and after seeing it, Amaterasu will answer all questions.

"Then you really don't know how to solve the problem of the world turning upside down?"

"...How could I possibly have the ability? This is my answer." Amaterasu slowly stood up, picked up the tray and walked towards the huge crack in Ama-Iwato without looking back.

"Why do you hide your face?" Blaze asked.

Amaterasu paused, the sun head quietly melted away, and her black hair fluttered, and her pair of golden eyes seemed to convey some emotions.

"I hate this face."

The cracks in Tianyanhu suddenly closed, and darkness fell.

"It seems she brought in some leftovers."

"Amaterasu-sama gets hungry easily."

"Hmm..." Blaze looked at Ama Iwato thoughtfully. Although Amaterasu said that there was nothing he could do, he did not think that his trip was in vain. On the contrary, he felt that he had gained a lot, but he just couldn't figure it out for the time being.

"Hey--"

Greenland's shout brought Blaze back to his senses, and Dali Feizhuan and Greenland came back together.

"I don't need to explain the situation." Dali Feizhuan curled his lips at the erected snake head, "That guy is about to be resurrected, but it seems that he wants to use Amaterasu's body to be resurrected."

"Really? Aren't those who chase the sun usually wolves or giants? Why are snakes getting involved?"

"Although I don't know what Yamata no Orochi is planning to do, I seem to have discovered the secret of this place." Greenland put her hands on her hips. She had been studying extracurricular books hard just to show off her knowledge at such a time.

"These eight mountains correspond to the eight trigrams. The one I just went to is Li, which is full of fire-attributed ghosts."

"Li, my side is full of water-attributed monsters. Oh oh—" Dali Feizhuan suddenly realized, "So this is what the prefix [Kan Gui] means."

Blaze also took the opportunity to reveal Amaterasu's information, mainly about the creation of the world. When he mentioned the need for a balance between light and darkness, which led to the inclusion of the Yamata no Orochi's body, Greenland snapped his fingers, looking knowledgeable.

She seemed to be the smartest one among the three and made speculations based on the limited information she had.

The key point is the simple creation of the world. After all, Amaterasu is not the creator god. All she can do is imitate and create a complete world.

The Yamata no Orochi is the darkness used for balance, but a simple balance of light and darkness is not enough, so Amaterasu selected eight girls to sit on eight peaks surrounding the sun to make a more detailed division between light and darkness.

"The Eight Trigrams represent Qian Heaven, Kun Earth, Xun Wind, Zhen Thunder, Kan Water, Li Fire, Gen Mountain, and Dui Lake. The Eight Trigrams are like eight infinite, invisible pockets, containing everything in the universe. Here, Takama-ga-hara possesses everything a complete world should have; it may be said that, though small, it possesses all the necessary components."

Princess Kiinada pointed at herself blankly, obviously not expecting that she, a shrine maiden serving Amaterasu, was also responsible for the balance of the entire Takama-ga-hara.

"Now the Yamata-no-Orochi has not only swallowed seven miko maidens, but its body is also pressing down on eight high mountains to surround Amaterasu. Its ultimate goal is likely to make itself a world, or even a universe."

"Wait!" Dali Feizhuan raised his hand, his expression stiff. "Shouldn't the center of the Bagua be Yin and Yang? Isn't there only Amaterasu here?"

"The sun." Greenland pointed at Tian Yanhu, then pointed at Blaze.

"Tayin, everything Yamata no Orochi needs is here."

Chapter 481 It’s you

The sun and the moon, day and night, light and darkness, the sun god and the moon god.

The Blaze that Greenland pointed to was not only the blind god symbolizing darkness, but also the son of the moon who inherited the silver blood. He was also a male, perfectly corresponding to Amaterasu, forming the perfect center on the top of Mount Ama-Iwato.

"No wonder Yamata no Orochi didn't make any moves before, but it's active now. It turns out the conditions are right."

"Wait!" Blaze raised his finger and pointed at Greenland. "You are now the incarnation of the great red dragon. Evil and filth, aren't you also a symbol of the Taiyin?"

"Oh——" Dali Feizhuan raised his hand and pointed at Greenland. Of course, his exclamation was also accompanied by curiosity about the three words "Big Red Dragon".

"Me!" Greenland was anxious and immediately raised his finger to point at Dali Feizhuan. "Doesn't this guy also have Silver Blood? This guy can also be Taiyin!"

"Oh——" Blaze raised his finger and pointed at the powerful flying brick.

Blaze, Dali Feibrick, and Greenland then formed a strange situation, with their hands raised and pointing at each other. Perhaps no one wanted to be the scapegoat, so they tried to distance themselves from the matter.

Time passed bit by bit, and cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the three men.

All three of them can meet the requirements to become the Taiyin of Takama-ga-hara, which is why Yamata no Orochi will be revived. For Yamata no Orochi, this is undoubtedly a godsend.

The three of them lowered their arms in unison and turned their backs to each other.

"Son, think about it carefully, have we avoided a very clichéd development, that thing, what is it?" Dali Feizhuan spoke first, shaking his fingers, not knowing how to continue.

"I thought a certain person was the key to the final boss's goal, so I was on high alert. But I didn't expect the final boss had a backup option." The knowledgeable Greenland immediately took over.

"Based on what just happened, we thought Blaze couldn't fall into the hands of Yamata no Orochi, and even tried to protect Blaze by blocking the knife. But we didn't expect Yamata no Orochi to be able to do anything and directly achieve his ultimate goal."

"If that's the case, we can't just defend Tianyanhu." Blaze followed the other's train of thought and complained, "The Bagua is about positions, right? Each attribute has a corresponding position. What if Yamata no Orochi doesn't need to launch an attack at all, and only needs the Moon and Sun to be in the center of the Bagua? What should we do?"

"...That makes sense!"

Dali Feizhuan and Greenland shouted in unison. Greenland even clicked his tongue and raised his middle finger to the sky.

"How despicable! They prepared so many escape routes for the final boss just to keep the game going!"

Chicken looked at the three people expressionlessly. Although she didn't like snakes, she felt sorry for Yamata no Orochi from the bottom of her heart. Perhaps the plan Yamata no Orochi had in mind was not as detailed as what these three guys had thought of.

……

On the eight high mountains held down by the bones of the eight-headed snake god, seven women with transparent bodies dressed in luxurious witch costumes are standing between the eyebrows of the snake head skeletons, looking up at the high mountain in the center.

They seemed to be shrine maidens devoured by the eight evil gods, gazing at the Amaterasu they served from afar, praying with the gestures of the dead. But the moment they opened their eyes, this peaceful beauty disappeared.

Those were two snake eyes, cold and evil. The words that came out of their mouths were hoarse male voices, with the female voice overlapping under the male voice.

"Except for [Dui], the other seven directions have all fallen into our hands. The day of becoming a true and perfect god is just around the corner."

"Unlike those false gods who were destroyed by the upheaval of the world."

“The totem no longer relies on the earth, but transforms itself into the myth itself.”

"One thought creates a myth, and one thought destroys it."

"Noble Sunbird."

The seven miko hummed softly, as if praising the manifestation of a great god. The starless and moonless night was like the interior of a dome, and all of Takama-ga-hara was the nourishment for the great beast born within.

The destruction of this world heralds the birth of the true God.

Hundreds of demons slowly awakened, transformed from the decaying bodies of the Yamata no Orochi, moving silently in the darkness. Just as the body of a god gave birth to a god, so too could a monster be born from the body of a monster.

Hundreds of ghosts moved silently in the darkness, their scarlet eyes fixed on the peaceful village at the foot of the mountain. The flesh and blood nurtured by peace and tranquility was full of temptation to them.

But the moment they went down the mountain, their bodies turned to ashes.

They were born based on the hexagram symbolized by the mountains, and will cease to exist once they leave.

So they can only wait, waiting for the moment when the world closes.

Amaterasu in the Iwado felt the turmoil in Takama-ga-hara and slowly opened her eyes.

This dark space is the noble goddess's boudoir. It has everything a normal woman's boudoir should have, including a makeup mirror. Only in this darkness can she hide from seeing her own face.

The [moon] appeared, Takama-ga-hara became complete in the true sense, and the locked Yamata-no-Orochi was finally freed.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

As long as Yamata no Orochi still occupies the [Yin] in Takama-ga-hara, Yamata no Orochi will only die and will not disappear, and will always be with Takama-ga-hara.

Now that the Yamata no Orochi is free and no longer locked in its Yin position, it can be completely destroyed. However, the risk is that this small peaceful place will also face the risk of complete destruction, and the danger may even spread to more places.

All this happened because the moon appeared in front of her.

"Moon, why do you want to meet me?"

"Haven't we missed it already?"

The sun's whispers could not penetrate the rocks of Ama-Iwato, just like her long-sealed heart.

……

Compared to Yamata no Orochi's conspiracy, Blaze cares more about something else.

"Should we call Amaterasu out? It's only been daybreak for less than an hour."

"Indeed, the residents of Takama-ga-hara rely on the crops on that one and a half acres of land to feed themselves. It will be very troublesome if there is no sun." Dali Feizhuan knows Takama-ga-hara better than Blaze, so he agrees with Blaze's concerns.

"So we're going to hold a festival to attract Amaterasu's attention, and then drag her out while she's peeking?"

"...It's so complicated. Can't we just blow up this Tianyanhu?"

If this was said by Greenland, then Dali Feizhuan would not have any special thoughts, but this was said by Blaze.

An NPC wants to skip the process by destroying buildings. Who taught him this BUG-like idea? It's so evil.
