You say this is a love game?

he said seriously.

"I know."

At this time, the girl also reached out her hand, and actually held his face, kneading it vigorously twice, and then pushed forward, their foreheads gently touching each other, just like that, close together, and then the girl said frankly in an extremely proud tone:

"You are my younger brother. Therefore, you are the only one in this world who can make me stop here, and you are the only one who is qualified to ask me questions... No matter what questions you ask next, I will give you an answer, an absolutely true answer without any deception. This is my love for you."

Mizutani Makoto finally realized that Mizutani Eka was serious.

This girl, his sister... There was no doubt that she was the "god" who had stepped into the crevice three years ago.

Mizutani Eka... She shattered Yajimazu's dream of becoming a god, left the "spirit of the gods" as hope in the crack, gave Furuya Ruriko a new mission and meaning, and at the same time brought Yajima Mai, who was the "soul", out of the crack. It can be said that she arranged everything that could be arranged.

And Furuya Ruriko is also particularly sensitive to the speculation about Mizutani Eka's identity.

In Shintoism, there is actually only one god who is related to the "sun" and is so powerful and dazzling.

...Amaterasu.

Amaterasu Omikami, Amaterasu Omikami, Amaterasu Omikami, Omikami, Amaterasu Omikami, Amaterasu Sun Lady, Great Sun Noble Goddess, Great Sun Lady Honor, Great Sun Spirit, Great Sun Lady, Amaterasu Sun Lady Noble... This series of titles makes people complain that there is not enough room for so many people to stand here.

But all these noble titles refer to the sun goddess - "Amaterasu".

One of the three noble sons in Japanese mythology, the ruler of Takama-ga-hara and the deification of the sun, he was revered by later generations as the ancestor of the Japanese emperor. His divine attributes include the main god of Takama-ga-hara, the sun god, the banner god, the agricultural god, the imperial ancestor god and many other fields. He is the highest god in Shintoism.

Even during the period of "the integration of Shinto and Buddhism", Amaterasu was still regarded as the incarnation of Vairocana in Japan.

His spouse in mythology is Susanoo, also one of the "Three Noble Sons", and Amaterasu's younger brother.

According to the legend, Amaterasu broke up with Tsukuyomi, and the sun and the moon separated, never to meet again. Then Amaterasu and Susanoo gave birth to three goddesses and five gods... Well, the orthopedic story of these brother and sister can be said to be a very important part of Japanese mythology.

I can only say that the name of this goddess is really scary.

Mizutani Makoto didn't dare to think about Mizutani Eka in this way...

As Furuya Ruriko once said, Amaterasu never really came to this world.

If a great god like this, who stood at the pinnacle of mythology, were to descend into the human world... Mizutani Makoto couldn't even imagine it. Would there still be a need to fight?

Amaterasu's light shines on everything, so wouldn't all the demons and monsters disappear?

But there was only one question he could ask.

This is the only chance to ask questions...

Mizutani Makoto held his breath and didn't test her bottom line. Instead, he looked into her deep eyes and asked word by word:

"What should I do to bring you back to life?"

The girl in front of him raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a bright smile.

"You've asked a really vexing question."

She raised her hand, and even though she was obviously shorter than Mizutani Makoto, she still touched Mizutani Makoto's head like an elder. The more she touched, the more addicted she became, and the more she touched, the more pleasurable it became, as if she intentionally wanted to mess up his hair. When she let go, all that was left was a messy head like a chicken coop.

Mizutani Makoto felt that this older sister was trying to take advantage of him, but due to the current atmosphere, he had no evidence to slap her claws away.

"My life is destined to stay at the age of seventeen."

"But the one who gave meaning to my meaningless life... was you, Cheng."

Mizutani Eka stood up and turned around, gazing at the end of her past life as if looking out.

"If you want me to come back to life, no matter how you think about it, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even as smart as I am, I don't know how to explain it to you clearly... That kind of thing is too far away. Knowing something so far away is not good for you."

“Some things, even if you simply know them, will kill you.”

As she spoke, the girl showed a headache expression, holding her chin as if she was lost in thought. When Mizutani Makoto also stood up from the ground and looked at the vortex light in the distance with her, she whispered:

"But I can promise you that if you really want to, you will know what to do sooner or later."

"Isn't this just empty promises?"

"Hey, are you so disrespectful to me, your sister? This was a promise, how did it become a pie in the sky?"

"Isn't making empty promises just like a damn boss painting a rosy picture for his employees?"

"I love you. You must believe in my love for you. You are the meaning of my existence."

Her voice was gentle yet firm, like a whisper floating in the wind.

Mizutani Eka held up the bouquet in her hands as if by magic.

She sniffed the bouquet gently, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of her mouth:

"Look, I want to give you the most beautiful flower in the world, whether it's me or anyone else."

She gave the flowers to Mizutani Makoto.

When the bouquet fell into Mizutani Makoto's hands, he also picked it up and sniffed it gently, but what he smelled was the smell of steel.

The bouquet of flowers turned into a sword.

Broken sword.

[Unknown Broken Sword 1]

[Description: A broken fragment of a sword, only one-third of the original longsword, its fractured parts jagged and uneven, as if it were dormant, awaiting the day of its reunion.]

[Comment: Let me see what's going on... Holy crap, Golden Legend!]

Mizutani Makoto stared at the broken sword in his hand in astonishment, but Mizutani Eka didn't intend to explain anything. Instead, she just stared into the distance and changed the subject:

"I'm still very happy to see you again."

"Three years have passed, and you're sixteen now. I regret not being able to see you grow up. You were so small back then, but now you're taller than me when you stand up."

The girl gestured her height, and her motherly tone made Mizutani Makoto's expression a little tense.

It feels like a dark history of "I held you in my arms when I was a child".

"If you think about it carefully, you and I are almost the same age. After all, I was only seventeen when I died... In two years, won't you, the younger brother, be older than me, the older sister?"

“It makes me extremely heartbroken just thinking about it.”

"No... Let me think about it. By the way, Cheng, do you want to stay here with me?"

This question made Mizutani Makoto hesitate for a long time.

He stepped back, shaking his head.

"No, if I have a choice, I can't stay in this past life... There are people waiting for me in this world."

Meanwhile, all his hopes lay in this world.

As long as they remain in the past life, he cannot interfere with or save any of them, whether they are people in this life or in the past life.

"I must go to the present world to find the true future."

Mizutani Makoto's thoughts were clearer than ever before.

Mizutani Eka was also very happy. She patted Mizutani Makoto's shoulder vigorously, acting like a big sister, and said in a high-spirited tone: "That's good. You are worthy of being my dear Ah Cheng... Let's go on like this. By the way, listen to the final advice from your elder sister."

"What advice?"

"Is there a girl you like?"

She tilted her head slightly.

Mizutani Makoto was speechless. After a long moment, he nodded softly: "I guess so."

"Then love confidently, boldly, and without any worries."

"Love her, love them, no matter how many there are..."

"If you shrink back, you'll sooner or later encounter many moments of inexhaustible regret... So, I wish you all the best. When you meet someone worthy of love, love them wholeheartedly and hold up the most beautiful flowers in the world... You deserve to hold them up, and you deserve to be loved by them."

At this point, Mizutani Makoto could actually no longer see Eka Mizutani clearly.

Her figure blurred for a moment, and at the same time, a violent storm swept over from the wasteland.

The wind of disaster blew from behind him.

"Someone's here to pick you up."

Mizutani Makoto turned around, his face filled with shock.

Above the sky of the past life, as if a mirror was shattered, countless fine spider-web cracks emerged from the space, and from the colorful chaotic passage, ominous gods forcefully squeezed into this past life.

The body of the god was as majestic as a mountain, with golden blood flowing all over it, like a golden rain pouring down on the wasteland of the past life. The magnificent divinity attracted countless souls to stop and stay, and even some gods of the past life paused, glancing up at the high sky with their cold eyes.

"The order of the past life is reincarnation."

"This cannot be broken."

Mizutani Eka's voice sounded in his ears.

"Ah Cheng, you also know that when a person truly dies, there are only two situations for him."

"One is to turn into a monster."

"If the soul remains in the human world, even if it can no longer survive as a pure human, it can continue to exist as a 'monster'."

"And if a soul enters the past life, it can only return from the past life through longing or obsession. However, the form of return will not be a simple soul or human, its identity will still be transformed into a 'monster'."

“That’s the first category.”

"And the second is to be reincarnated."

"If someone wants to be resurrected as a human after death, that's simply defying the laws of life and death. How could the rules of the past allow such a thing to happen?"

"So, normally it's impossible."

Mizutani Makoto was stunned: "...usually?"

So, what about unconventional situations?

Mizutani Eka smiled coldly, and the blurry figure pointed at the majestic body of the god above the sky. The handsome beast figure actually swooped down from the sky and flew straight towards the vortex of light in the distance.

"Do you know what that is?"

she asked.

Mizutani Makoto shook his head.

"That's the 'Great Source,' which you can also understand as everything. It's the foundation of past lives, and even the foundation of the present. Everything people can imagine, and everything they can't imagine, all converges there."

"God is the darling of the world."

"If a god were willing to exchange this 'Great Source', it might be possible to bring the soul of the past life back to the present world, reversing life and death, and bringing the dead back to life."

Mizutani Makoto just stared in shock.

Above the sky, the great sun god vibrated his invisible wings.

Daihozuri God, this deity is a god created from the filth of the dead.

It is the filth that Izanagi brought out when he escaped from the underworld. The god he became during the cleansing process is naturally closely connected with the concept of "underworld". It is precisely thanks to this divine nature that Yajima Mai can fly so boldly and crash into the "past life" that ordinary gods find difficult to enter.

But as she traveled between the two worlds, her divine body inevitably suffered severe damage. Golden rain covered almost every inch of the wasteland she flew over, until she crashed into the slowly rotating vortex of light. The clear cry of a tiger thrush almost resounded throughout the entire wasteland.

The moment she officially became a god, she knew a lot of "common sense" about being a god.

In that great source, the majestic divine body merged into it, struggling in the place where the soul was reincarnated, calling out loudly to the "past life".

She wants to exchange with her "past life".

At this moment, the gods of the past who were ready to punish the gods of the present world also stopped their actions.

The procession of reincarnated souls stopped, and the whole world fell silent at this moment, listening to the whispers of God and the world.

"What's in exchange?"

Somewhere in the dark, as a god, she seemed to hear this low murmur.

Soul! Two souls!

"What's the price?"

God's name!

The body and soul of "Dahuojinri God"... constitute the name of "Dahuojinri God"! Everything she can offer, she can offer to the past life!

"No matter what, life and death are two completely different states. You will understand later... Even if you escape from your past life, even if you transform into a monster and live a miserable life, life is life and death is death... The nature of death is determined the moment you die."

"Even transforming into a monster to prolong life before death and transforming into a monster to regenerate quickly after death are two completely different states."

"The boundary between life and death cannot be blurred or desecrated."
