Chapter 820: 1 Prophecy
Chapter 820: 1 Prophecy
The bound Last Human Emperor was just a corpse puppet that could not be freed. In essence, he was not much different from the "zombies" he met along the way. Naturally, he could not be a match for Kamiya Kawa.
The boy slashed towards the high platform of Heiyaoya, and the brilliant sword light mixed with thunder swallowed up Yanbo Lianwu and the ugly throne.
The last human emperor, who was ordering Kamiya and others to kneel down the previous second, turned into shriveled corpse fragments in the next second, and burst out along with the collapsed gray-white crystal fragments.
Neat.
In a blinding flash of lightning, Shen Gu sheathed his sword and picked up the lost Dark Fang Huang Quan Jin.
The cold, black chains collided with each other, making clanging sounds.
According to what I saw on the stone pillar just now, this chain sickle once drank the blood of demons, and thus it was filled with evil spirits and ominousness. In addition, it originally belonged to Susanoo, and later it was held by Okuninushi, so it really felt extraordinary to hold it in my hand.
However, Kamiyakawa himself does not use relatively unpopular weapons such as the Kusagiri. The Dark Fang Huangquanjin is not very compatible with him, and even if he surrenders it, he cannot update his own arsenal.
As for his subordinates, the only ones who can use the sickle-shaped sword seem to be Asaki from the Seven Gods and Kanoya who learned the Ogusa-ryu from Asaki.
The royal retainers have now retired to the second line to enjoy their retirement. Asaki's upper limit is there, so it is naturally difficult for her to use An Fang Huangquanjin.
As for Xiaolu, as the eldest disciple of Shen Gu, although he may have unlimited development and prospects in the future, it is too early for Xiaolu to possess a magical weapon full of evil spirit.
Holding a divine weapon in a mortal body is full of uncertainty.
It's just like how Onizuka was bound to Chihiro Yui by accident, and Kamiya has been worried about it all the time.
As for Xiaolu, there is no red string connecting her wrist to Kamiyagawa...
The quasi-ghost leader has too many things to worry about and is unable to take care of them all.
Therefore, the main reason to acquire Dark Fang Huangquanjin at this stage is to own it.
After putting Huangquanjin into the [Mirage Bag], Kamiyakawa shifted his gaze to the center of the platform base.
This place was originally covered by the ugly corpse throne, but because Shen Gu chopped down the throne with a knife, the stone slab underneath was finally exposed. On the stone slab at the base, there was a paragraph of inconspicuous text engraved. The handwriting was somewhat similar to that on the thirteen stone pillars, perhaps all of which were written by Yanbo Lianwu.
[An outsider who has the potential to become a king will enter the capital of Awihara Mizuho with a bow and arrow. When he collects the three artifacts, Oana Muchi will be born into the world with the former glory of Awihara!]
"Oh?"
Kamiyagawa's eyes narrowed slightly.
Outsiders will enter the capital of Ashihara Mizuho with raw bows and arrows.
Isn't this talking about me?
But, “having the potential to become a king” or something like that… well, that’s a good statement, it complimented me a lot.
Then I will admit it reluctantly.
The three sacred artifacts written on the stone tablet should refer to the raw bow and arrow owned by Okuni no Rei, the Ameshokoto, and the An Yago Yomizu forged from the raw sword.
At this moment, the raw bow and arrows were indeed on Kamiya's body. He brought them from outside Awihara Mizuho Province.
In other words, as long as we find Tian Zhaoqin again, we should be able to meet Okuninushi.
At this time, the Yatagarasu and the little old man also came over to look at the words on the ground.
"Is this a prophecy?"
"It looks like it." Kamiya nodded.
This prophecy actually included him.
But thinking back carefully, it seemed that when fighting against Takemikata God before, the war god had muttered riddle words such as "qualification" and "capacity".
So, this is what most probably refers to.
As for where the prophecy came from, Kamiya also had a rough candidate in mind.
It should be Iwanagahime.
Judging from the texts left by Hikoba Ryoutake, the last emperor finally found Iwanagahime according to Okuninushi's wishes, and somehow sealed the entire Mizuho Province in Iwanagahime's body.
On the one hand, it was to avoid divine punishment from the gods of Takamagahara, and on the other hand, it was probably also to plan for the revival of Okuninushi.
In addition to being the eternal goddess, Iwanagahime also seems to have some prophetic divine attributes.
After all, He had predicted that Heavenly Grandson Qiong Qiong Chu Zun would flourish and quickly wither like a wooden flower.
From this point of view, Iwanagahime is somewhat similar to Xiaowu who can "see the future".
"Is it okay? Such a prophecy." There seemed to be a hint of anxiety in Yatagarasu's calm tone.
Big Bird doesn't like prophecies very much because the feeling of fate is too strong, and she herself has been trapped in a dream of fate for too long.
In addition, this prophecy accurately predicted Kamiya Kawa's arrival, which made her feel even worse.
"From this text alone, it seems that there is no problem."
Kamiya himself was relatively calmer.
indeed.
The prophecy only mentioned that Okuninushi would come again, but did not say what the outcome would be.
And doesn’t this prophecy describe me as someone who has the potential to become a king?
So it remains to be seen whether the old emperor will restore the glory of Ashihara, or the new king will bury the old emperor?
At this stage, Wu is still asleep, and Kamiya has no way to call her out and give her a "future vision" to offset Iwanagahime's prediction. Moreover, Kamiya personally feels that he needs to meet Okuninushi.
no way.
Okuninushi's divine bones were a perfect match for him.
If you don't get this divine skeleton, your body will feel like it's being crawled by ants.
The authority of the Human Emperor's divinity, which represents civilization and enlightenment, is a perfect match for the next stage of upgrade of "Lord of the Earth".
As long as he gets Okuninushi's bones, Kamiyagawa should be able to successfully ascend to the realm of god.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to be more stable, it’s just that time doesn’t allow it.
After all, one year later, Kamiya Kawa will face his senior Ashiya Doman who has "fallen into the underworld". In this not-too-long preparation time, he must improve his own hard power as soon as possible.
Under pressure and crisis, Kamiya has always been inclined to take some risks.
If you take a chance, you may have a chance of winning, but being timid will only result in slow death.
As long as there is still room for struggle and progress, he is never willing to lose.
Moreover, losing to Ashiya Doman, who represented the netherworld... would probably mean eternal damnation. Whether in reality or in common events, those people or demons who placed their hopes on him, and all the things he valued, would surely cease to exist.
"I understand."
Under the heavy black hood, Yatagarasu's eyes were fixed on Kamiya River.
Staring at Kamiya's face for such a long time, even Yatagarasu, who is a goddess and doesn't care much about most things, would feel a little dazed.
She had been serving this leader, who could be described as a "chosen one" for quite some time and had a general understanding of his character.
Big Bird is usually taciturn, but he sees things very clearly.
Although Kamiya usually seems relatively gentle in his dealings with others, he is also highly respected as a "benevolent leader" in the eyes of the demons in Takamagahara. Even if he has any ulterior motives, they are basically operated in a way that hides a needle in a cotton ball...
But once he has made up his mind to do something, there is basically no room for turning back.
Kamiyagawa's ambition is actually very big.
At the very least, it is definitely not smaller than the leader of a great country who manipulated thirteen generations of emperors and finally wanted to come back to the world and restore his former glory.
Since the Yatagarasu has already defected to the New Takamaga-ga-hara forces, even if it is to repay the previous favor and for the souls of relatives and friends who are still sleeping in the Sanzu River, it can only accompany Kamiya to the end.
"Well, now that we have reached an agreement, let's go find Tenshokoto and have a good meeting with the former glory of Awihara, Okuninushi."
Kamiya gave the order and without any hesitation, he strode down the rotten and dark throne platform with his sword in his hand.
Although they had plans to meet with Okuninushi, Kamiya and his party were still as cautious as possible in their subsequent exploration of the Mizuho Palace. In the core hall, they could not find any path or secret passage leading to other places, so they returned to the carved stone corridor outside the hall.
The little old man sent out many external bodies to explore everywhere, so as to avoid missing any details that might be hidden in this palace.
After all, this palace is quite big.
And because Yanbo Lianwu and the corpse throne were chopped into pieces, the zombies wearing tasseled crowns no longer appeared in the palace.
I explored like this for a while.
"Abba!"
At a fork in the corridor, the little old man suddenly had a sense.
Soon after, Kamiya River and Yatagarasu also sensed something.
In the palace area that they had already walked through, there seemed to be a breath of life, which was wandering back and forth in the chaotic corridors like a headless fly.
……
In the dark palace corridor.
The little boy Yi Bo was walking carefully along the wall.
This huge palace gave him a cold and evil feeling. The dim environment, the dried blood on the walls, and the gray-white crystals with human figures sealed everywhere all made him feel genuinely terrified.
But Yibo did not think of turning back, and still groped his way forward.
In the darkness, he seemed to hear something calling his name.
Something was longing for him to come closer.
This strange dream has troubled Yibo for a long time. In fact, he also wants to find out what is going on in his dream.
However, when he entered the dream before, he was always chased by those scary zombie-like monsters. But this time, the monsters on the street seemed to have disappeared, and that was why Yi Bo groped his way into the palace.
"Have I been to this corner before?"
Ibo stopped at a fork in the road, and on the blood-stained wall, he saw the mark he had made with a stone.
And that vague voice that seemed to be calling him was always far away and near, so illusory that it was difficult to tell its location.
"This mark... I was going to the left just now, now I should try the right."
Ibo thought so.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew through the dim corridor, whizzing past the little boy's neck, causing him to shrink his neck involuntarily. Looking around, there was nothing else except those crystal stones that still stood in strange shapes.
"Whew..."
Ibo naturally couldn't sense it.
At this time, a thumb-sized old man dressed as a Void Monk and holding a wooden staff, had taken advantage of the cold wind just now to sit cross-legged on his shoulders.
This wooden stick that the two young ladies gave to their master, and which his master gave to me, is indeed very useful!
Even if it is a "copied" body, the power of this thing can be used to achieve a certain degree of concealment and wind control.
Praise!
Ibo bravely walked around the corner, but just after taking a few steps timidly, he suddenly heard -
"Ibo."
Someone was calling him.
It was not an illusory call, but an extremely clear and steady male voice, which actually came from behind him.
"Wow!"
The unsuspecting Yi Bo was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see two figures standing behind him.
One is tall and straight, while the other one stands out. The black wings drooping behind are particularly eye-catching.
"Big brother, and big sister? It's you, you are still here!"
After seeing who was coming, Yi Bo relaxed a little.
It’s so nice to see “familiar people” in this extremely strange dream!
In his last dream, the two brothers and sisters not only got rid of the monsters chasing him, but also helped him find his mother's relics. Moreover, after getting the ring from his eldest brother, Ibo woke up and really found the ring in reality.
"Are you dreaming again?" Kamiyagawa asked the boy with a smile.
"Correct!"
Although it felt strange to tell the "dream person" that I was dreaming, I still nodded honestly.
"How long has it been since you last dreamed and last saw us in reality?"
"It seems like almost a month."
In Ibo's so-called "reality", a month has passed.
The last time Kamiya and his group saw him was just over an hour ago.
"You remember it quite clearly."
"I don't know why, but I am always lucid in this dream."
"That's it."
Kamiya nodded and didn't say anything more.
but……
Silly child, the reason why you are so awake is probably because you are not dreaming at all.
"Then why did you come into the palace?" Kamiya Kawa asked again, "It's quite dangerous here."
"I...I feel like someone is calling me here."
Iba still answered truthfully.
Although he was still a little wary of Kamiya Kawa last time he met him, the recovery of the ring, coupled with the familiarity of seeing an "acquaintance" in the dream again, made Iha less defensive against Kamiya this time.
Moreover, is it really necessary to be on guard against friendly dreamers?
"Someone is calling you?"
Kamiyagawa looked at the little old man who was maintaining a relatively shallow hidden state. The latter just shook his head and put on a deep black hat.
Like his master, the scout did not sense anything in the palace calling out to Ibo.
Sure enough, this little boy is very special.
Kamiyagawa narrowed his eyes and observed Iha further. This time, he used the authority of the Lord of the World to fully understand Iha's emotions.
He saw that among Ibo's emotions, blue sadness occupied a considerable part.
"Ibo, you seem a little sad?" (End of this chapter)
