Perhaps it's because Xu Fu concealed the secrets of heaven.
It could also be because his great-grandmother has already been reincarnated and can no longer manifest her power.
So God did not give him any warnings, nor did the Ox-Head and Horse-Face appear before him.
Xu Fu had no idea what terrifying existence he was about to face.
He was still trying to find a way to strengthen the sky-covering array beneath Mount Fuji so that the secrets of heaven could be concealed.
Meanwhile, Showa Tamahin, carrying out his orders, summoned the remaining land immortals, preparing for a decisive battle against the Ming Dynasty at the foot of Mount Fuji.
He no longer aspires to conquer the Ming Dynasty; he only hopes to stay peacefully in the island nation and remain securely in the position of the Heavenly Locust.
He was genuinely terrified after that battle.
Yu Ren's trusted subordinates have been almost entirely wiped out, and now some forces that are at odds with him are beginning to show their fangs.
Prime Minister Shingo Abe is the biggest force among them.
In order to curb Abe's power, the experts that Showa Tamahin mentioned were basically all Abe's men.
These people originally did not want to participate in this war. They listened to Abe and wanted to preserve their strength to prepare for the later competition for the position of the Locust King.
In their eyes, the crisis facing the island nation is less important than the struggle for power and profit.
This kind of thinking is not strange; such people can be found everywhere.
Even when the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, they were still obsessed with scheming and intrigue.
Yosuga no Sora and Yosuga no Sora were originally unwilling to obey orders. They preferred to stay at home rather than go out and face this world that bound them.
However, Showa Tamahin invoked Xu Fu's identity as an ancestor, leaving them no choice but to obey.
These people still felt some fear towards the ancestors of this island nation.
After all, most of the cultivation techniques used in island nations originated from Xu Fu.
After Showa Tamahin had planned everything, he ordered Yuu and Sora to travel along the main road to gather information about the Ming soldiers.
These were things that ninjas were supposed to do, but because of the Nagasaki incident, almost all of Showa Tamahiro's ninja group was killed or wounded.
In order to preserve his strength, he decided to send the two siblings.
More than fifty miles from Tokyo, Ming Dynasty soldiers were clearing out prisoners.
The ragged female Japanese pirates were squatting on the ground eating steamed buns.
The way they wolfed down their food was like starving ghosts reincarnated.
He ate a steamed bun in just two or three bites.
I barely chewed it, and I couldn't even taste it.
Their stomachs, tormented by hunger, left them with no appetite to taste food.
I just hope I can eat something, something to help my stomach digest.
Next to these female prisoners were male Japanese pirates being executed.
In Li Chang'an's mind, any male Japanese pirate was a future danger and had to be exterminated.
So a very strange scene unfolded inside the prisoner-of-war camp.
Humanitarian genocide is happening here, while humanitarian aid is being provided there.
The women eating the food showed no reaction whatsoever to the slaughter of the men.
All they saw was the food being distributed.
They care about nothing else.
Only those who are about to starve to death know how important food is to people.
What feelings, what family ties, what ethereal and intangible things?
In the face of life and death, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Some of the murdered men were even the women's husbands or children.
But their pleas and cries for mercy did nothing to distract the women from the steamed buns.
They were so hungry that they could no longer think.
In their eyes, there is only food, nothing else.
Showa Tamahiro fled with his army, covered in dust and grime, and had hardly brought any provisions with him.
In order to feed his large army, he allowed his soldiers to steal grain.
This decision has caused hardship for the people around Tokyo.
Aside from needles and thread, the island nation's soldiers basically took everything.
The people had their food stolen and were forced to survive by eating grass roots and tree bark.
Near Tokyo, close to volcanoes, there are few grass roots and tree bark to fill one's stomach.
This has resulted in some people not even being able to eat grass roots or tree bark.
Most of the people who can't get food are women who are physically weak.
Sometimes, these women even become the last food source.
In this situation, these women watched men being slaughtered without feeling any emotional response whatsoever.
In a life-or-death situation, compassion is long since extinguished.
They just wanted to live; they were willing to do anything to stay alive.
The brigade commander looked at the women who were like wild beasts, and felt a mix of emotions.
He knew that the island nation had become a living hell because of his and his little brother's arrival.
This is a war fought for revenge.
In war, one side inevitably becomes a living hell.
The brigade commander did not want his nation to become a living hell, so he could only turn the island nation into a living purgatory.
He knew that if the people of the island nation did not suffer this hardship, then his own people would suffer this hardship in the future.
Therefore, the brigade commander did not show any mercy to these Japanese pirates. Instead, he hardened his heart and watched as these pirates were transformed from human beings into what they are now.
Li Chang'an shared the same thought; all he wanted now was to end the war as soon as possible and then completely sink this hellish place into the sea.
Let the island nation disappear from this world forever.
"To win this battle, we must take Mount Fuji."
"Because here lies the secret weapon known only to the emperors of the Heavenly Locust Dynasty, and here lies something that can change the fate of the island nation."
"Shan Shang Che Ye," he said, pointing to Mount Fuji on the map, and addressed Li Chang'an and Zhang Xianzong.
"Everyone else thought it was the three great divine weapons of the Heavenly Locust, or the legendary demon Yamata no Orochi."
"But only we know some inside stories. Hidden under Mount Fuji is very likely the ancestor of the island nation, the legendary Xu Fu who lived for a thousand years."
Upon hearing the name Xu Fu, Li Chang'an's eyes lit up.
"Xu Fu?"
"Could it be Xu Fu, who was ordered by the First Emperor to lead five hundred boys and girls on a voyage to search for immortals and refine the elixir of immortality?"
The car on the mountain looked at him and nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness, it is the Xu Fu you mentioned."
“And we islanders are the offspring of those five hundred boys and girls.”
"That's why we islanders are no different from the Han Chinese of China."
"Apart from being relatively short, there is no other difference."
"Because we are actually all descendants of the same race."
"It's just that because they live in an island nation, they've lost their cultural and intellectual heritage, which is why they've become like this."
