Although the official media live broadcast has ended, there are still many people around who recorded it with their own mobile phones from high altitudes, as well as private drone perspectives. However, compared with the official media, the angles are always inferior.

But for the enthusiastic audience, this clarity is acceptable.

It’s better to have something than nothing!

Jiuyuan brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulders, thankful that the previous headshot did not cause the stains from the fish monster to fall on him, otherwise it would have been too conspicuous and ugly to have black stains on his clothes.

The snow man at the side came forward, stood gently behind him on the left, and straightened the side of his clothes for him.

Yin followed, holding an umbrella on the right rear side.

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is really pleasing to the eyes, not to mention that the three people present are not human.

The comments were full of "It's so exciting."

[So the idols I’ve been fans of are really big shots. They have subordinates holding umbrellas for them. It’s really impressive…]

[What are you going to do now, Boss? ]

In the camera, Jiuyuan just smiled and walked aside again, saying a few words to someone.

Then he waved his sleeves and disappeared completely.

Leaving more room for imagination.

…

…

This time he did not pass through Hanako, but left by relying on the covered space of Kisaragi Station.

Jiuyuan did not go home immediately, but stayed in the room that appeared in Kisaragi Station. When he was alone, the place turned into a Japanese garden.

Only when he was alone did he feel relieved.

Jiuyuan forced a smile and said cheerfully, "...After putting on such a big show, it's finally not a waste of effort."

Finally, there was "faith" in what was imposed on him.

Although it’s not a lot yet, once you have it, it’s a good start.

The power of Amaterasu gave him a deeper understanding of his own power. To transform the demon power into a stronger and purer divine power, he needed "faith" as support. As long as the renewal of faith was in place, he would be able to reach a higher level soon.

Become a true god.

As his popularity grew, his reputation finally reached a critical point—his own memories gradually returned to his body.

The system asked weakly: [Master, have you remembered everything...? ]

Jiu Yuan replied with a smile: "How should I put it... I am really confident in myself."

It turns out that he had more than one goal from the beginning.

"Or rather, I am really a greedy guy." Jiuyuan commented on himself, "I actually deliberately targeted this chaotic era and tried to revive Shinto..."

The system, which was also kept in the dark, looked at Jiu Yuan and asked with a trembling heart: […But why does it have to do with monsters? ]

"Hmm...it's a long story, how about I start with the sorcerer?"

[Does this have anything to do with the sorcerer? ]

"Of course there are," said Kuen. "As modern society progresses by leaps and bounds, people's reverence for gods and monsters has almost reached its lowest point... However, because the rapidly developing society cannot fill the void in people's hearts, the evil spirits of cursed spirits, which are neither demons nor monsters, have rapidly expanded."

"In the past, when Shintoism was strong, people's faith in gods was strong, and the gods were powerful enough that there was no need for sorcerers. Those minor gods could remove curses for their believers."

The system said, not really understanding: [It seems to be like this... In the past, the little gods could at least save their believers from illness and death, but now many little gods can't even drive away small cursed spirits.]

"Well, now that Shintoism is declining, the minor gods can hardly protect themselves. If people don't rely on themselves, they can only beg the great gods for help. But even the great gods will not do it themselves, but will simply entrust it to their subordinates."

"With so many commissions coming down, let alone whether the grassroots gods still have the power to fulfill these wishes, it is useless in terms of timeliness - it is better for humans to remove the curse themselves."

But what people lost was not only their faith in God, but also their fear of demons, ghosts and gods.

This also makes it difficult for cursed spirits to evolve into "demon" beings.

Therefore, in Jiuyuan's view, the cursed spirit is neither new nor familiar, which is really uncomfortable.

"My purpose is actually very simple. If you break it down, it is -"

"To revive Shinto a little bit and help modern Yokai gain a foothold."

System: […Are you sure it’s ‘Xiaoxiao’? It’s already being broadcast live across the country.]

The former is actually easy for Jiuyuan, but the latter is difficult.

"Online discussions about monsters are always sporadic and fragmented. Once the heat of the discussion dies down, the monsters will still dissipate, or even become more crazy due to weakening of their power, which may even cause disasters."

"So, as long as we invent a Lord of the Hundred Demons and say that all these monsters are dependent on him, then as long as the legend of this Lord of the Hundred Demons is not forgotten by people, these monsters will not disappear completely."

In that case, then use your existing identity.

Anyway, he is the incarnation of evil spirits and vengeful spirits, and coupled with the Lord of a Hundred Demons, which sounds very "evil", it seems that there is no problem.

The next step is to upgrade this identity and let more people know it and remember it.

"Reviving Shinto."

With the help of the Special Forces Division and a live broadcast to build momentum, it will definitely be enough.

"To create a new symbol of the new era of Yokai, and to elevate this symbol to a Shinto existence."

Jiuyuan chuckled: "In the end... it just gave me a chance to enter the Shinto path."

The name Jiuyuan probably represents his own unwillingness to accept his fate.

Only he was a child born halfway, neither a pure monster nor a god, but more like a big hodgepodge.

This name seemed to remind him all the time that he was a monster made up of ignorant souls filled with only hatred and pain.

Jiuyuan wanted to ask himself whether he had ever worried that he would disappear.

"……never mind."

The answer to this matter will only be known by him in the future.

…

…

"Wait, so this is what he wants?" After hearing Ango Sakaguchi's answer, Chief Taneda thought about it and felt not surprised.

"Yes." Sakaguchi Ango nodded, "...Yomikawa wants his own shrine."

This is really...

Chief Taneda thought it would be great if all the problems could be solved by just building a shrine.

The problem is, it doesn’t.

In fact, after this incident, some people may have spontaneously decided to believe in him.

But now Huangquanchuan not only has no shrine, but also does not have its own role system. In the final analysis, people don’t understand him——

Is it a god? Is it a righteous god? Or a demon?

Besides being the son of Izanami, what other legends and stories are there about him?

What is his function? Is there a temple dedicated to him? What are the tokens enshrined in the shrine?

as well as--

What good can be gained from faith?

What's the point?

Jiuyuan threw the issue of "building a shrine" to them, which was equivalent to indirectly leaving the task of how to fulfill these words to them.

Otherwise, during the process of building a shrine, there will always be people who will ask questions, right? How will you answer them then?

Since you've agreed to help him build a shrine, these things should be taken care of, right?

He is not a little boy who can be manipulated by others, but a real person who can enter Takamagahara and hell.

If you offend him during your lifetime, you might not be able to rest in peace even after your death, right?

"Yangquanchuan...sent this."

Sakaguchi Ango's assistant handed over the tablet.

The above is some basic information he compiled, and Jiuyuan said: "These are the general contents."

They were given a general direction, but the rest was up to them to figure out how to write it themselves.

Seeing that the two were silent, the assistant quickly added, "I asked Mr. Xue what to do, but he said... Aren't you humans very good at making up stories?"

Sakaguchi Ango: “…”

In other words, this thing has to be done no matter what.

…

…

Knowing the principle of striking while the iron is hot, after contacting Kuen to select a site for the shrine, Sakaguchi Ango had someone put up a golden sign at the entrance of the shrine's building area, which roughly explained which god the shrine enshrined.

The shrine is not small, so such a big commotion certainly did not go unnoticed by the people nearby. Sakaguchi Ango did it on purpose for them to see.

Once someone takes a photo and posts it online, you can start to guide public discussion.

Soon, someone took a photo of the sign and posted it on the BBS.

[Photo] Look, the new shrine. ]

[Is this a shrine dedicated to the Yellow Spring River?... You're moving too fast.]

[Because humans asked the gods for help this time, are we building a shrine as a reward? ]

【Don’t you care about what’s on the sign? 】

[Kyuen, also known as Kuen and Kuen, is the youngest son born to Izanami alone in Yomi Hirasaka.]

[After Izanami was isolated in Yomi Hirasaka by Izanagi's Senbin Stone, his curse and grievances took shape, and merged with Yomi's vengeful spirits and the monsters of the Land of Darkness, his body became composed of extremely evil spirits and monsters.]

[Born as the leader of evil spirits, the master of all ghosts, able to control the ghosts in the underworld. 】

[Living under the underworld for a long time, eating evil spirits and vengeful ghosts, maintaining order. 】

[It is also rumored that when there are too many evil spirits in the human world, they will come to the human world and reopen the gates of Hades to guide the evil spirits and prevent them from causing harm to the human world.]

[Occasionally, it will appear in the human world in the form of a human male. If it encounters a person with an evil spirit, it will eat the evil spirit.]

When the system saw this, it almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

[Master, what does evil spirit taste like? ]

Jiuyuan, who was brushing this thread, touched his stomach, thinking that the remnants of the sea monster he absorbed had not been completely digested.

"…Seafood flavor, right?"

...Maybe it depends on the breed. Thinking of this, he reached out and touched the vengeful spirit beside him.

The Sun Ghost that was originally leaning on his neck seemed to have sensed something and disappeared immediately.

Recalling the feeling, Jiu Yuan commented: "Maybe... it tastes like jelly?"
