Although the Great God Tianzhao usually doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs, he is exceptionally fond of his brothers.
His most beloved younger brother was Susanoo.
Susanoo is a warmonger, known as the god of war destruction, and his presence can be found wherever there is war.
Moreover, as the god of destruction, he has never been defeated.
If I had to name a defeat, it was only once.
They were defeated by Lin Yu.
However, this one and only failure cost him his life.
"How is that possible? My brother Susanoo is invincible under heaven. How could he possibly be defeated by someone from the Great Xia Dynasty!"
boom!
An angry voice roared wildly, and the immense pressure forced the Emperor to the ground.
"Great God, please spare my life!"
Upon hearing the Emperor's plea for mercy, the Great God of Heavenly Sage slowly withdrew his oppressive aura.
As the supreme god of Japan, representing the embodiment of the sun, his control over his emotions has reached a very natural level.
An angry god is not scary; what is scary is such a capricious and unpredictable being.
"Over countless years, I have abandoned human thought and emotion. The news you brought today almost shattered my Dao heart!"
After a long silence, the Great God Tianzhao uttered a quiet sentence.
"Tell me, how exactly did my brother perish?"
The Emperor quickly described the Battle of the Impure Lands to the Goddess Tensho in detail.
After listening, Tian Zhao remained silent for a long time.
"He's been reincarnated! I never imagined it really was him! Xuanyuan Ce... it really is you!"
After a long silence, the bronze mirror spoke again.
The voice was very complex, containing emotion, fear, and awe.
And it was accompanied by... anger!
"Great God Tianzhao, could it be that you met the Human Emperor in ancient times?" the Emperor asked tentatively.
"You're talking too much!"
A cold snort came from the bronze mirror.
The emperor was so frightened that he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, trembling as he said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I meant no harm. I just thought that Susanoo's blood should not be shed in vain. You must avenge him!"
Bang!
An invisible force sent the Emperor flying.
Are you teaching me how to do things?
"No one in this world can tell me what to do, including Xuanyuan Ce!"
Tian Zhao's voice was filled with indignation.
In the end, everything returned to silence.
"Great, Great God..."
The Emperor lay on the ground, barely breathing and exhaling rapidly; he was clearly on the verge of death.
"You can leave now. I will settle accounts with Great Xia for Susanoo's matter. From now on, don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary!"
"Yes, yes, it's the master!"
The Emperor shakily climbed out of the cave.
"Emperor!"
When Yasuda and the others outside saw the old man crawling out like a dog, they were extremely shocked and quickly went over to help him up.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Cough cough cough!" The Emperor coughed up blood while laughing, "God bless my Japan! The Great God Tensho has agreed to help. This is the first time since ancient times that the Great God has appeared. We must seize this opportunity to destroy the entire Great Xia! Pfft!"
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the Emperor's face instantly turned ashen.
Yasuda tremblingly placed his finger under his nose, and immediately stared wide-eyed in horror.
"The Emperor has passed away!"
Emperor Takahiro, for the sake of the entire Japanese people, awakened the spirit of Tensho Daijin and sacrificed his own life.
On this day, the entire nation observed a moment of silence.
Before long, a ray of light shot out from the cave and swept towards Kyoto.
The lava, which is gradually spreading from Mount Fuji, has already engulfed a third of Japan's land, gushing out wildly and scorching hot.
However, as the rosy light swept in, everything froze instantly, as if frozen in place, completely still.
The sun in the sky became increasingly bright, making even the night as bright as day.
Countless citizens knelt on the ground, looked up at the sky, and were moved to tears.
The Great God Tianzhao, a being who exists only in mythology and is the highest deity of the entire nation, finally revealed his divine glory at this moment.
This miracle rekindled the hopes of the Japanese.
"The Great God has awakened, Japan shall rise!"
"Great Xia, await the judgment of the Great God Tianzhao!"
"The glory of our great East Asia will surely shine upon the whole of Asia once again, no, the whole world!"
"Long live Japan! Long live the Japanese people!"
The radicals laughed arrogantly and conceitedly, as if they had already witnessed the downfall of the Great Xia and the rise of Japan to the top of the world.
However, all of this was just their fantasy.
On a reef in the East China Sea, a figure in white stands tall.
Feng Xiaotian, who was following behind, said with some worry in his eyes, "Human Emperor, according to reliable sources, the Supreme God of Japan has awakened!"
He had heard of some of the myths of Japan, and his father had said that Japan had a true god.
Otherwise, based on the several provocations the little people had made throughout history, the Divine Blood would have wiped out this ambitious race long ago.
"Supreme..."
Lin Yu curled his lips in disdain, "Does a fallen pawn deserve to be called supreme?"
"A discarded pawn?" Feng Xiaotian asked in surprise. "Do you perhaps recognize this Tian Zhao?"
Lin Yu nodded. After activating his Destiny Ability, he was able to recall some ancient events.
At this moment, he spoke calmly.
"Before I talk about Tianzhao, let me tell you a secret from ancient times!"
"In ancient times, the place where the sun god's nest was called Fusang. The sun god had nine sons, who hung high in the sky and lived on the ancient Fusang tree. However, these nine sons were unruly and often committed violence against the human world, causing the earth to dry up, not a blade of grass to grow, and making it difficult for humans and animals to survive!"
"At that time, a great god was born among our human race. With his own strength, he shot the nine sons off the altar, finally alleviating the disaster. However, this also angered the Sun God, who wanted to take revenge on the human race. In the end, the three emperors of the human race stepped forward to fight him and defeated the Sun God, taking his divine status but keeping his divine soul!"
"In order to bring light to the human world, the Three Sovereigns, together with the gods, used their great supernatural powers to guide the essence of the sun according to the way of heaven, day after day, in an endless cycle. From then on, the ancient times officially entered the ancient era. This is the beginning of the Later Heaven Trigrams, and also the beginning of the severing of the connection between heaven and earth!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's eyes widened in shock. "So that's when day and night came into being..."
"Exactly!" Lin Yu affirmed his idea, then narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Back then, the Sun God was the head of the ancient gods and a great enemy of the gods! For this battle, our human race suffered a great loss, which led to our decline. Instead of being grateful, the gods took the opportunity to trample on the human race! This severing of the connection between heaven and earth was also their ingenious plan. Since the existence of day and night, the human race's cultivation speed and talent have declined, moving from the innate to the acquired stage. You must know that before this, our innate human race were all comparable to true gods!"
"What??"
After hearing Lin Yu recount the ancient secrets, Feng Xiaotian was utterly shocked.
So this is what the ancient human race was like? They were actually on par with the gods!
