My wife's name is Platycodon

This is the witch of heaven, recognized by heaven and earth. She cannot be suppressed by powerful forces and cannot be humiliated by gods. There is no reason for her to work for the gods.

Zouji said: "I have nothing to do with the gods, but Penglai Island must not be lost. This is a paradise for monsters and humans. I only protect half-monsters from being bullied."

Kikyo pointed at the six remaining half-demons and said, "Is this the paradise you mentioned?"

Zou Ji said nothing.

Kikyo continued: "Is this the result you want?"

A sigh came from the furnace: "I was wrong for many years, but now there is no turning back."

Kikyo also sighed: "You are a senior, I can't blame you. Perhaps, this is the fickleness of fate."

"But the strong never believe in fate." Zou Ji said, "Come in."

Kikyo gladly accepted, and under the astonished gaze of the six little half-demons, she jumped into the bottomless furnace, but the flames did not hurt Kikyo.

During the fall, Kikyo also saw many suspended stones. This was a special space filled with fire and stone. Kikyo sensed the breath of the underworld.

She finally landed on a huge rock, her steps light and her eyes looking ahead.

The green light condensed into a human figure, with only a rough outline. Next to it, a jade box was floating.

And inside the jade box is the life source of the four fighting gods.

"Can't you hold on anymore?" Kikyo saw that this was the residual soul of Zouji, but it couldn't even condense an image. It was very similar to her in the past. She was on the verge of running out of energy and was only holding on with one breath.

"I am also a human being. This day will come sooner or later." Zouji was very calm about this.

She had spent more than two hundred years using her own soul and the Four Fighting Gods, and had long since given up. However, in this endless agony, her mind awakened, and she extended her life, enduring for many more years.

As a result, the Four Fighting Gods did not die, but instead starved the residents of Penglai Island to death.

Zouji's voice was filled with grief: "I sealed the essence of the Four Fighting Gods and wanted to use the Singing Furnace to refine them, but the Four Fighting Gods in turn used the sacrificial function of the Singing Furnace to continuously use half-demons to prolong their lives."

"I don't accept it! The goal I fought for my whole life has come to such a sad end. My persistence has become a thing of the past. As long as the Four Fighting Gods are still alive, my resentful soul will never rest in peace."

"I want to drag the Four Fighting Gods to death with me!"

Chapter 66: The Last Soul

That kind of hatred is so deep that it cannot be washed away even if you pour out all the water.

Kikyo couldn't help but be moved. Is this the only belief that has kept Souji going for more than two hundred years?

In the end, I couldn't forgive myself.

She couldn't bear to close her eyes.

"You are a virtuous miko who built a barrier for the survival of half-demons. You have worked hard for it your entire life, but you have ended up like this. Don't you feel sad?"

Zouji instantly returned to normal. Her words were ethereal and vague, echoing in this space: "Young witch, do you want me to be saved? You can't even save yourself!"

This was a shrine maiden who was no weaker than herself, and Kikyo had no intention of concealing it, so her condition naturally could not be hidden from Souji.

Kikyo sighed, "I'm just a miko passing by, I just hope to do my part."

"Then help me take those little guys away from Penglai Island." Zou Ji said. The only thing she was worried about was them.

But now, it's too late to say anything. The huge Penglai Island is now deserted. It will eventually become a speck of dust in history. Everything she has done is meaningless.

But Zouji was unwilling to admit this fact. She was determined to open up a pure land that could accommodate half-demons. She went deep into the ocean and found Penglai Island. She spent half her life here and set up a time barrier to escape from the world.

But when I looked around, there was no one here, and the laughter and joy were like a dream, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

What kind of pure land is this? Whose pure land is this? It is better to return as soon as possible.

She didn't even feel sad. More than two hundred years ago, she witnessed the Four Fighting Gods killing people and was torn apart. At that time, she was willing to sacrifice her life to seal the origin of the Four Fighting Gods, but now she felt very relaxed.

As time goes by, all beliefs become empty and only hatred continues without end.

She can't even reincarnate now, as her innate spirit has been almost exhausted. This is no longer a question of whether the soul is missing or not, but a more fundamental reason.

This place is weird and has similar rules to the underworld. Kikyo had already guessed that it was because of this that Zouji pushed herself into an abyss from which there was no escape.

The Roaring Furnace is most likely related to the underworld. It is the core of Penglai Island and has an inseparable relationship with the gods. It has been guarding the ancient road.

When Zouji chose Penglai Island, she wanted to save all the half-demons. As a priestess of the Heavenly Dao, she also had this power.

Some kind-hearted humans and monsters, as well as half-demons who are not compatible with either, are taken to Penglai Island by Zouji to live, a paradise on earth.

She also used the power of the Ringing Furnace to set up a super-large time barrier.

But the Four Fighting Gods destroyed it all.

"I am a loser. If those half-demons who died because of this want to curse me, they can curse me. It is because I did not fulfill my original promise."

Kikyo revealed the truth: "I have liberated all souls. No one hates you, no matter if they are monsters or humans, even half-monsters. It is because you gave them this home called Penglai Island. They have always admired you and hoped to help you."

But kindness is useless. Half-demons have no power and are too weak. Zou Ji alone cannot protect Penglai Island, and together they cannot defeat one of the Four Fighting Gods.

This is the sorrow of the weak. Even if they hide from the world, they will still be found.

Zouji was silent, but her outline made up of green light was fluctuating, silently expressing complex and unspeakable emotions.

Finally, she sighed, "How can that lukewarm gratitude change the fact that I killed everyone."

She was extremely stubborn and took all the blame on herself.

"I have thought a lot over the years, but time cannot be reversed." Zou Ji was very sad.

She thought she could build a secular country, avoid disasters and wars, and create a paradise full of warmth.

She thought she could use her life to take away the Four Fighting Gods and keep Penglai Island going.

"I was too naive. How could wishful thinking come true? Too much is as bad as too little."

Kikyo didn't say anything. She thought of Inuyasha for no reason.

Souji verified something, the shrine maidens had a similar tragic fate!

Even if she could really get what she wanted while she was alive and become an ordinary woman, and Inuyasha shed his half-demon body and became a human, could they really live an idyllic, peaceful and tranquil life?

In troubled times, everything is nothing but a fantasy.

Inuyasha has his own destiny. He has the blood of Inu no Taisho flowing in his body. He is not an ordinary half-demon. His brother is Seshomaru, his retainer is Meika, and Tessaiga is still buried in his eyes. Is becoming a human a good ending?

What about Kikyo at that time? She embarked on the path of Shura and killed countless monsters. Even the origin of the birth of Naraku was because many monsters hated her so much and regarded her as a thorn in their eyes, so they gathered together to form Naraku.

Even the love of Demon Spider could not stop Naraku from wanting to kill her, otherwise how could Kikyo die.

At this moment, Kikyo really thought a lot.

Zouji's voice sounded again: "You are not in good condition. If that Jialuo can kill the Four Fighting Gods, then I can rest in peace and give the rest of my soul to you."

She set up a time barrier, and even though she was in the Ringing Furnace, she could still sense some of the things happening on Penglai Island.

Although Souji's soul is not much, it is stronger than Hitomi's. After more than two hundred years of suffering, she finally honed a soul as pure as a diamond.

But Kikyo was unwilling to accept it and wanted Souji to reincarnate.

"I can no longer reincarnate, and the underworld will reject me." Zouji explained the truth. Her innate spirituality was almost non-existent, and she could not form a complete personality. She only survived by relying on the Singing Furnace.

"I originally planned to wait until Asagi and the others were dead, and then use the Ringing Furnace to blow up Penglai Island. But now that you're here, there's no need to wait any longer."

Asagi and the other six are Souji's last wait.

As long as she died, she would no longer have any attachment to Penglai Island.

Kikyo has complicated thoughts. Souji has really changed. She is no longer the shrine maiden of the past. She only lives for revenge.

Penglai Island is the fruit of Zouji's life's work. The barrier of time can prove it. Kikyo has never encountered such a large barrier. "Don't you feel reluctant at all?"

"I used to be reluctant to leave, but now I'm numb to it. Why didn't you come here two hundred years earlier?"

Two hundred years ago, there were still many living people on Penglai Island.

"At that time, after my death, I asked Inu no Taisho for help. I knew that he was a kind and righteous great monster, and hoped to get his help..." Souji said, and fell silent.

Inu no Taisho did respond, and a monster named Meika came to Penglai Island and said that he admired what Souji had done. Not only was he willing to deal with the Four Gods, he also hoped to place his two sons on Penglai Island in the future.

In her lifetime, she had seen that unrivaled monster, who was noble and domineering, roaming the three realms and possessing all the advantages of a strong man. He was definitely the strongest of the contemporary world.

But it was fate and time that led the dog general to fight again and again and finally be killed by humans.

Chapter 67: Battle with the Four Fighting Gods

No one expected this. General Inu broke his promise and Penglai Island was isolated and helpless.

"Even a hero like him couldn't save Penglai Island."

General Inu is the best in the world, there is no one better than him.

But the era more than two hundred years ago, although not as chaotic as the Heian period, was also extremely turbulent. Those great monsters had not yet completely disappeared from the world. Inu no Taisho ruled the western country with the kingly way and suppressed many unrests.

Especially before his death, in order to quell the chaos, he had experienced continuous wars and life-and-death battles with many big monsters, which were extremely tragic.

But Penglai Island has always been isolated from the outside world, and Zou Ji has no idea about its past.

But she still remembered that in the years after General Inu's death, two monsters came to Penglai Island, claiming to be General Inu's subordinates. After many years, they still came as promised, loyally, just to fulfill General Inu's last wish.

The two monsters, one was called Red Evil Ghost and the other was called Qi Tian. Their spirits were commendable, but in the end they died at the hands of the Four Fighting Gods, and their weapons also fell into the hands of the Four Fighting Gods.

outside world.

Just as Kikyo and Souji were talking, Penglai Island continued to tremble. The battle had lasted for more than ten minutes. A quarter of the surface of Penglai Island had been razed to the ground, and ten miles of cliffs along the coast had been sunk and submerged in the ocean.

The Four Fighting Gods have been trying to keep Garo in the outer area and prevent him from getting close to the core of the Roaring Furnace.

They could see that this was a powerful man who had no taboos and acted without restraint. They were very worried that the Ringing Furnace would be destroyed, and then there would be no hope.

During this period, the Four Fighting Gods have been trying to communicate. They don't want to cooperate anymore and just hope that Jialuo can stop and calm down. Today, Penglai Island has lost its miracles. However, Jialuo's attitude is very strong and it doesn't seem like he is here to ask for directions.

The continuous secret of Long Luo's double-edged sword is called Sky Dragon Thunder and Earth Dragon Wind Wheel. They have wind and thunder attributes. The combination of the two moves becomes the ultimate secret, Sky Wind Thunder Flash.

With a click, the wind dragon and the thunder dragon rushed through the clouds and then fell from the sky.

But Jialuo had anticipated this, and the demonic power in his body surged out. Yulongpo had been waiting for a long time, and the violent eye of the storm wiped out Long Luo's wind and lightning, forming a huge canyon with a very deep drop on the ground, and killed the big turtle on the sea.

Gang Luo roared, and his fortress-like body slapped the ocean, creating waves without wind and a tsunami that was a hundred meters high. It swept towards Yulongpo like an insurmountable wall.

Galao had been accumulating energy for this attack for a long time, and the Sky Wind and Thunder Flash was just an appetizer. His target was directly aimed at Gangluo - he had received a lot of care from Gangluo during this period. This black tortoise had abundant energy in his body and was not afraid of consumption. He fired magic power bullets like they were free. Although the saturation attack was of no use to him, it was really annoying.

Gang Luo created a hundred-meter tsunami to offset half of the power of Yulongpo, but the remaining power should not be underestimated. Gang Luo sensed the danger and instantly retracted his limbs and snake head, ready to resist with his hard shell.

There was a loud bang, and the Hell Dragon tore open the sea surface. Ten thousand tons of sea water rolled back, exposing the seabed along the way, crushing reefs all the way and hitting Gang Luo's body.

"Roar!!" Gang Luo roared. It was about the same size as a mountain, but it somersaulted over in the explosion.

When it stabilized, Gang Luo felt a strong pain. It found it incredible. It was from the Xuanwu lineage and was well prepared and defending with all its strength. How could it hurt?

But the dizziness and heaviness in his head were real, and his body was in great pain and cruel cold, as if a gust of cold wind had scraped off a layer of his flesh and blood, and then was eaten up by a group of evil dragons.

Its shell was not rotten, but many of the bone spurs on the shell were broken. But overall it was still intact, with only a few traces. Gang Luo suddenly remembered a magic sword on this land - the sword of Ame-no-Murasakumo.

The gods of Fuso are not all useless. They actually created this kind of magic sword!

At this moment, a dangerous breath came, and Gang Luo's pupils hidden in the tortoise shell suddenly shrank. He looked through the darkness and saw the sky full of brilliant stars.

Among them, there was a meteorite falling from the sky with unparalleled momentum!

No, it wasn’t a meteorite, but Gala who jumped up from ten miles away.

The center of the battlefield suddenly shifted. The four fighting gods had been fighting with Jialuo as the center, maintaining the tactics of joint attack and encirclement. Although they did not lose, they could not win the battle. Now seeing him moving towards Gangluo, Longluo and Shouluo naturally chased him closely, encircling and intercepting him, fearing that Gangluo would be left alone and killed.

This is not because of the deep feelings between the brothers, but once Gang Luo dies, there will be no long-range support, the four-in-one tactics will be broken, and the three of them will be unable to support it, and the pressure will double.

In the night sky, a violent airflow was wrapped around Garo's body. He couldn't fly now, but he could use his demonic power to glide in the air for a short period of time, which was similar to what he did before when he used the monster souls.

Compared with the monster soul, the monster power provides much more energy, enough to support him to slide for dozens of miles.

This was an experience that Gala had never had before. Her body and mind were soaring in the night sky, overlooking the earth. She had a sense of who was in charge of the rise and fall of this vast land.

No wonder Kikyo had been asking him to practice so that he could one day control his own energy.

As he was falling rapidly, a group of firebirds flew across the land, following him swiftly. Among them, the figure of Xiong Luo, one of the Four Fighting Gods, was looming among the firebirds.

There was a cold light flashing in Xiong Luo's eyes. The battlefield was changing rapidly and no one was sure they could come and go freely.
