The great gods in Takamagahara are either descendants of Izanagi or Izanami, and possess the noble blood of the main gods.

Either their bodies are special and they were canonized as gods by Amaterasu Omikami.

Or they may be gods formed through the accumulation of folk legends and the gathering of faith.

But among all the great gods, Inari God Ootenzu is a very special one.

She does not have noble blood, and her predecessor was just an ordinary little fox. She was able to become a great god only by relying on Amaterasu to help spread folk beliefs and ascend to the throne of god.

No matter from which aspect, the Inari Goddess Ootenzu seems to be unworthy of the position of the great god.

Relying on the favor of Amaterasu, Inari God once reached the pinnacle of the great gods and was only one step away from the position of the main god, which greatly annoyed many gods who claimed to be noble.

There have been endless debates about the rumors about the Inari goddess Ootenzu, but only Ootenzu knows that the reason she was favored by Amaterasu was because when she was still an ignorant beast, she grew up with Amaterasu who was born on the sacred tree.

Although she was still immature at that time and her memories were only fragments, she only remembered a vague figure cultivating a rice field and planting a sacred tree that gave birth to the sun.

But it was precisely because of this causal relationship, which even Yuzuo herself was not aware of, that Amaterasu favored her so much that she almost pushed her to the position of the main god.

When Amaterasu ruled Takamagahara, the karmic bond between her and him was the most powerful amulet, and even Izanagi and Izanami had to show her respect.

However, as Amaterasu suddenly went into seclusion, this little bit of causal relationship made Inari goddess Ootenzu a thorn in Izanagi's side.

Izanagi tried several times to cause trouble for Yuzhongjin, but was secretly resolved by Yuzhongjin. However, the folk beliefs that she controlled were secretly taken away by Izanagi, and she almost fell from the rank of a great god.

Miojin originally thought that her concession would be enough to make Izanagi temporarily give up his ideas against her, until later she realized the naivety of her ideas.

Jianmikazu angered Shen Yuan, and Izanagi took the opportunity to determine the guilt of Yuzhongjin, and even wanted to kill Yuzhongjin to arouse the anger of other gods towards Shen Yuan.

If Shen Yuan had not seen through Izanagi's thoughts and taken the initiative to rescue Yuzhongjin, she would probably have returned to the underworld by now.

After this incident, Miojin completely lost the idea of ​​backing down. She was clearly aware that with the relationship with Amaterasu, Izanagi would sooner or later cause trouble again.

She waited in front of Amaterasu's temple day and night, waiting for her to come out and avoiding the trouble that Izanagi might bring.

In the past few months, Yuzhongjin has been trying to call Amaterasu in the temple, but to no avail, which makes her gradually feel a little desperate.

She understood that Izanagi must know some of the inside story of Amaterasu's retreat, otherwise Izanagi would never reveal his rebellious intentions.

Yuzhongjin began to change her mindset. She thought of Shen Yuan, who had been hostile to Izanagi before, and decided to seek help from Shen Yuan.

However, Izanagi had already sent the gods to keep an eye on the place where Shen Yuan lived, and any rash contact would only give Izanagi a handle.

Until today, the conflict between Takemiya Raijin and Bai Wuchang in Qi Mu Castle has attracted the attention of the gods of Takama-ga-hara.

Kagutsuchi, the brother of Takemikaze, who was revered as the God of Fire, even advocated a war with the four supreme gods, but was stopped by another group of gods.

Takama-ga-hara fell into chaos because of this brief confrontation. Yuzhongjin realized that there was an opportunity, so he secretly sneaked his real body into the human world and manifested himself as a white fox to discuss cooperation with Shen Yuan.

But when Yu Zhuanjin stepped into the main hall of Luoyun Temple, the fairy-like figure in white before her suddenly overlapped with the vague figure who planted the sacred tree in her memory.

The intense sense of familiarity and the vaguely visible heavy cause and effect made Yuzhong Jin realize that the person in front of him was none other than the father of all gods who saved Yingzhou from danger and personally conferred the title of Amaterasu Omikami.

Overwhelmed with joy and surprise, Yu Zhuanjin could no longer remain calm and bowed down to Shen Yuan with his true form.

Shen Yuan glanced at Yu Zhuanjin crawling on the ground with some surprise.

I thought that this little white fox from ten thousand years ago would not remember anything, but I didn't expect that it still had some memories from before it became intelligent.

“You actually remember.”

With just a few words, Yu Zhuanjin's guess was confirmed.

Even though he had guessed it before, when Shen Yuan admitted it himself, Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart.

Before, Noro Mai called Shen Yuan the father of all gods, and the gods of Takama-ga-hara simply thought that Noro Mai had misunderstood the true meaning of the Amaterasu oracle.

Now that I think about it, Amaterasu Omikami, who had ascended to the realm of celestial beings, must have anticipated that the father of the gods would come to Yingzhou, so she took the initiative to send down the oracle under the guise of calming people's hearts.

There is truth in falsehood and falsehood in truth, and this action successfully misled the main god Izanagi.

Only Yuzhongjin, who has seen the Father of the Gods with his own eyes, can judge the truth.

With his heart surging, Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but speak:

"I was so blind that I failed to recognize the father of the gods and almost offended Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will punish me!"

"Get up."

Shen Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly.

Yuzhuanjin held a rice ear in his mouth and stood up respectfully.

"You came here just to worship me?"

Yuzhuanjinhu showed a bit of human embarrassment on his face and said:

“The reason I came here this time is actually because I want to ask Master Daozi for something.

It was only after I entered the room that I suddenly realized that His Excellency Daozi was the father of all gods, and I lost some manners. "

As a great god of the Amaterasu line, Yuzhongjin was constantly suppressed by Izanagi. Shen Yuan naturally knew what she was thinking.

However, Shen Yuan did not care about Yuzhongjin's little thoughts. He just needed to know some inside stories of Takama-ga-hara from the great god Yuzhongjin.

"But about Izanagi?"

"Your Majesty is as wise as a god!"

"Ten thousand years ago, Amaterasu Omikami ascended to the throne and ruled the world of Yingzhou, while Izanagi and Izanami were born when Yingzhou merged into the Xuanhuang Realm.

The Omikami was grateful for their coming into being in response to the trend of the times, so he conferred the title of deity on them.

Amaterasu Omikami sits in Takamagahara without interfering with worldly affairs. Worldly affairs are governed by the two main gods Izanagi and Izanami. Many of their descendants also hold important positions in the Yingzhou pantheon.

At this point, a hint of resentment flashed in Yu Zhuanjin's eyes.

"Izanagi and Izanami have always respected Amaterasu, until this time the spiritual energy tide returned and the Yellow Spring tributary crossed over and appeared in Heian-kyo.

In order to expel the tributary of the Yellow Spring, Amaterasu Omikami resisted the backlash of heaven and earth and forced herself to leave Takama-ga-hara, which eventually resulted in her being seriously injured and forced to retreat to recuperate.

Since Amaterasu Omikami went into seclusion, Izanagi and Izanami's true natures gradually began to reveal themselves.

First, he used the oracle of Amaterasu Omikami to weaken the Ise Grand Shrine, and then he dispatched the gods close to Omikami to the battlefield of Hades to die. In the end, even I almost couldn't escape his clutches.

At present, Lord Izanagi has already gained a huge amount of faith, and he is temporarily taking over the throne of the Lord of Takama-ga-hara. He will ascend to the fairyland as soon as the opportunity comes.

I beg the great father of the gods to take action and eliminate Izanagi, a traitor! "Yu Zhongjin spoke sincerely and told the whole story, but Shen Yuan did not agree immediately.

He certainly has the power to kill the gods of Takamagahara, but the underworld is uncertain, and even Amaterasu's retreat is shrouded in doubt. Now is far from the time to take action.

Shen Yuan just asked back:

"Did Amaterasu really go into seclusion because she was severely injured and forced to attack under the suppression of heaven and earth?"

Yu Zhuanjin was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed and his expression showed a hint of hesitation.

"That's what the gods of Takamagahara said. It shouldn't be false."

Yu Zhuanjin's unconfident attitude made Shen Yuan believe that this was fake news to confuse other people outside.

Amaterasu was an unrivaled powerhouse at the level of a celestial being, and even in the Xuanhuang Realm thousands of years ago, she was considered the top in this world.

The suppression of heaven and earth is indeed powerful, and even if King Qin Guang, who is a golden immortal, comes across the boundary, he still needs to pay a huge price, but this does not mean that the suppression of heaven and earth is a rigid rule.

On the contrary, the suppression of heaven and earth is often extremely flexible.

For example, the Ten Yin Marshals of the Underworld maintain the order of Yin and Yang. While in the Yin world, they can overcome the suppression of heaven and earth and exert powerful strength. They can even suppress their own realm and walk freely in the world. This is something that other powerful people in the fairyland cannot do.

Because the underworld is part of the cycle of life and death in this world, it enjoys certain authority.

Similarly, Amaterasu, as the master of heaven and earth in Yingzhou, should have similar authority.

Moreover, when Amaterasu was facing the cross-border invasion of the underworld power of the Yellow Spring tributary, the will of the heaven and earth of the Xuanhuang Realm would inevitably have some response, and it would be impossible to suppress Amaterasu without restraint and cause serious damage to her.

Shen Yuan is more inclined to believe that the so-called seclusion due to serious injury is just a cover.

All the gods of Takama-ga-hara, including Miojin, were kept in the dark.

Moreover, even if the immortal is seriously injured and dying, he is still at the top of the five paths of heaven, earth, man, ghosts and gods. It is easy for him to crush to death a main god who is not even in the immortal realm.

Taking this into consideration, Shen Yuan suspected that Izanagi had already known the truth behind his serious injury and seclusion, so he dared to murder the gods of the Amaterasu family and seize the incense on a large scale to help himself break through.

Yu Zhuanjin couldn't even see this, which made Shen Yuan reveal a bit of disappointment in his eyes.

Yu Zhuanjin keenly noticed the disappointment in Shen Yuan's eyes, and his heart was suddenly startled. He quickly wondered if he had done something wrong.

Shen Yuan realized that it was wishful thinking to learn the truth from Yu Zhuanjin, so he asked:

"Are there other gods in Takamagahara who are close to Amaterasu?"

Yu Zhuanjin looked puzzled, and after thinking for a long time, he whispered:

"Amaterasu Omikami has a high status. Most gods in later generations do not even have the qualifications to meet her. I have never heard of anyone who has a close relationship with Omikami."

Shen Yuan frowned even deeper.

"Then are there gods like you who have survived from the same era as Amaterasu?"

Yuzhong Jin tried hard to search his memory, but still shook his head.

"No."

The disappointment on Shen Yuan's face was barely concealed.

"The fact that Amaterasu was able to leave that oracle proves that she had anticipated her own situation.

But judging from Yuzhongjin's answer, she didn't seem to have left anyone to pass on the message.

Did he deliberately give up the summons to prevent being discovered? Or is there someone else?"

This made Yu Zhuanjin extremely frightened.

She understood that she had not brought any value to the Father of the Gods in front of her, and her chances of getting help from the Father of the Gods were slim.

She tried hard to think about all the information in her memory.

Suddenly, Yu Zhuanjin's eyes lit up, and he quickly whispered:

"There probably aren't any gods who meet your requirements, but if we talk about the same era as Amaterasu, there are three among the demons."

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"You mean the three demon kings?"

"Yes! They are the three great demon kings, Daitengu, Shuten-doji, and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox!

Although these three do not belong to Takamagahara, they have survived from ten thousand years ago to the present day. Their strength is comparable to that of the main gods. Even Amaterasu Omikami acknowledges their existence."

Shen Yuan fell into deep thought.

In fact, strictly speaking, the three demon kings were born earlier than Amaterasu, and Shen Yuan once fought with the three demon kings.

Normally speaking, after Amaterasu ascended to the throne and ruled the world, she should have killed the three demon kings who were once on the opposite side.

But the three demon kings survived and even survived the ten thousand years of spiritual energy depletion period. This reveals too many unusual things.

You should know that the only place in the entire Yingzhou that can be called a cave paradise is Takama-ga-hara, which hangs high above Heian-kyo. If you want to avoid the period of spiritual energy depletion, you must enter Takama-ga-hara.

Otherwise, even if one has achieved great accomplishments, one cannot escape the fate of spiritual energy exhaustion and the erosion of heaven and earth.

“If it was Amaterasu who subdued the three demon kings and allowed them to enter Takama-ga-hara to escape the disaster during the period of spiritual energy depletion, then everything would make sense.

Even Ootengu did not know the relationship between Amaterasu and the three demon kings, so there is a high probability that Izanagi also did not know.

It is indeed very possible that Amaterasu left the key clues with the three demon kings."

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan hurriedly asked:

"Where are the three demon kings now?"

“The three demon kings appeared briefly in Mount Oe three years ago, but have not been seen since. Not even Izanagi knows where they are.

However, if Your Majesty wants to find the three demon kings, you can ask the demon clan strongman who was with you before to contact him secretly, and you may get something."

There was a hint of satisfaction in Shen Yuan's eyes; he had finally found some clues.

Yu Zhuanjin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had demonstrated his own value and should not have to worry about being abandoned by the father of the gods.

"I cannot leave Takamagahara for too long, lest Izanagi become suspicious. If Your Majesty has any further instructions in the future, you can send a miko to contact me with the statue."

Shen Yuan nodded, and Yu Zhuanjin turned around respectfully and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something, frowned slightly and said:

"Wait a minute, you said before that there were no gods from the same era as Amaterasu in Takamagahara, so where did the moon born from the sacred tree go?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhuanjin was stunned, and his voice was full of doubts:

"But there is no Moon God in Takamagahara!"
