From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 309: Taishan Fujun Ritual

At this moment in Kyoto City, inside the true Jile Temple.

Bai Yang stood on the roof of the temple, watching the events unfolding in Tokyo one after another, nodding in deep satisfaction.

"Not bad. The appearance of Transcendent swordsmen will spark a journey to find ancient artifacts across Tokyo and even all of Japan, saving us the hard work of searching for them ourselves!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "I just wonder, will the people who believe they have mastered the Supernatural still be willing to accept being ruled?"

Under Bai Yang's control, the Wish Power of this country had begun to slowly spread, extend, and grow stronger!

Guided by individuals with strong convictions, this Wish Power would gather toward more powerful objects. In other words, their beliefs would create unique Supernatural Items.

This was one of the six paths Bai Yang had laid out for them to find: Supernatural Item control!

"Supernatural Item control, transforming into Ghosts and Monsters, the path of self-cultivation, Onmyodo, the method of Divine Descent, and the Buddhist path. These six methods of cultivation are my gift to this country!" Bai Yang nodded slightly. "Yokai, spirits, the Buddhist sect, Onmyoji, Shrines, and swordsmen are also subdivisions of Transcendent Power!"

"If they still don't fracture, it means their inner desire for unity is truly strong enough!"

Alvin smiled and shook his head. "That is impossible, Crown! At the very least, the conflict between the Satsuma and Choshu domains is irreconcilable!"

They were well aware of this world's history. The famous merchant legion, the "Osaka Division," was naturally renowned. The story of them doing business while others fought desperately was known across the globe.Not to mention the previous disputes between the so-called Army fools and Navy fools. The various irreconcilable social conflicts in this country were incredibly massive, merely hidden under the oppression of authoritarian rule!

But with the intervention of Transcendent Power, and as the influence of America vanished, the Supernatural Crisis in this country would inevitably erupt, and this too was irreconcilable!

Next, they only needed to wait for creatures known as "ambitious conspirators" to emerge, and this country would definitely be torn apart!

"However, Crown, there is another issue you might need to consider!" Alvin said. "The emergence of the Supernatural in this country might lead to the intervention of nations worldwide. Those people will definitely flock here like madmen to pursue the Transcendent Power here..."

"Perhaps the Transcendent Power here will spread across the world. This is the closest place to the Supernatural they can find!"

"That is exactly what I hope for, Alvin!" Bai Yang interrupted, speaking softly. "What I hope for is precisely this kind of scene, this kind of situation to occur!"

"They will elevate the level of Wish Power here. Their resources will force this Extraordinary Power System to pivot, rather than merging through internal conflict!"

"Because without their intervention, the Supernatural would inevitably find a direction to merge on its own. Only with the intervention of external forces will the Supernatural truly complete this special transformation!"

Bai Yang knew clearly that no system in this world ever existed in isolation.

For example, Zanluo Bodhisattva also needed to consider trade with various regions, which led to that unique invitation. A country like Japan that relied heavily on imports naturally needed the world's support as well.

After all, Transcendent Beings could not conjure food and supplies out of thin air. Perhaps the deity Inari could, but Bai Yang clearly had no intention of manifesting such a powerful God at this time.

A Divine War was necessary, of course. It would be a massive feast for harvesting Wish Power and Divine Faith, but not right now.

Just like how Bai Yang was not even prepared to Ignite Divine Fire for the Japanese Gods or create a true Divine Realm for them. Not every small nation deserved such high-tier treatment. The original purpose of this testing ground was simply to extract Supernatural Wish Power while guiding more of his own Supernatural concepts.

"Therefore, these people coming here was already within my expectations. As long as it isn't the arrival of something exceptionally Transcendent, it doesn't matter!"

Unless a foreign religion actually came to compete for Divine Faith and disrupt his layout, Bai Yang definitely would not intervene. This was his original design.

"However, they might not have the means to guide mass Supernatural Events, so it's about time to pull out some well-known historical figures for a stroll!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "Those famous historical figures would be quite excellent!"

...

"Ancestor, you have returned?" In the Kurahashi family's Onmyoryo, Kurahashi Seiji was still preparing the items needed for the upcoming ritual when he saw the figure of Abe no Seimei flash across the portrait before him.

"Yes, I have returned!" Abe no Seimei nodded slightly. "The crisis in Tokyo has descended. You must speed up your work here!"

"Has Tokyo... already fallen?" Kurahashi Seiji asked with some dismay, but his spirits immediately lifted. "I understand, Ancestor. I will protect everything in Kyoto City! Heian-kyo must continue to remain peaceful, even in this era!"

Kurahashi Seiji had not paid attention to the situation in Tokyo. He was simply too busy. As the city's sole Transcendent Being, his sense of responsibility and kindness drove him to handle the city's ever-growing Supernatural Crises.

He had already learned from Shiratori Hayato that the current Kyoto City was no longer a city of the elites. Those powerful figures had all fled, and this city now belonged to them!

Therefore, he needed to do his part to protect his own city!

Hearing this, Abe no Seimei looked at his descendant with Curiosity. "Oh? What are you planning to do? Let me see if you can give me a special surprise before I return to Takamagahara."

Kurahashi Seiji smiled and replied, "Ancestor, I am preparing to hold a Taishan Fujun Ritual in Kyoto City!"

The Taishan Fujun Ritual was one of the primary rituals of Onmyodo. After all, it was a power born from the Daoist Divine Pantheon, combined with certain elements originating from the Buddhist sect, primarily esoteric Buddhism.

Aside from the Taishan Fujun Ritual, they also had the "High Mountain Ritual," "Thunder God Ritual," "Five Dragons Sacrifice," "Four Corners and Four Realms Ritual," "Five Emperors Ritual," and many more. These well-known sacrificial methods, along with their spells, Shikigami, killing formations, and other special abilities, were classified as the exclusive powers of an Onmyoji.

And the Taishan Fujun Ritual was, naturally, a standout among them, second only to true grand heaven and earth rituals like the Heaven and Earth Calamity Ritual, the Five Emperors Ritual, and the Heavenly Court and Netherworld Ritual.

"Oh! The Taishan Fujun Ritual? What grand Ambition!" Abe no Seimei said. Before he could finish, a lazy and alluring voice drifted over. "I also think he is a truly ambitious young man!"

Hearing this, Abe no Seimei's face visibly darkened. "Tamamo no Mae! Why are you here?"

"Hehehe..." The coquettish voice echoed as the woman spoke with intense allure. "So it's Mr. Seimei. If you are here, can I not be here as well?"

Abe no Seimei's eyes grew solemn until his gaze swept across the nearby Shrine, allowing him to regain his earlier composure. "So it's a piece of the Killing Stone... Do you also want to emerge into the world? Tamamo no Mae?"

"Of course I want to emerge, because the aura belonging to the Eastern Divine Pantheon in this world has been concealed. I no longer have to worry about being cursed to death by those ruthless Deities, so naturally, I want to come out and play!" Tamamo no Mae said. "Qingqiu will eventually appear, and I will inevitably revive in this world!"

Abe no Seimei remained silent. After pondering for a moment, he slowly shook his head. "The conditions for your revival are far too harsh. You will have to wait until the rules of heaven and earth are sufficient to allow a great Yokai like you to fully manifest!"

"You aren't Jiutun Tongzi. He can rely on endless Ghosts and resentment to revive, but your essence is that of a great demon. An essence far higher than Jiutun Tongzi's gives you almost no chance of reviving in this era!"

Hearing this, Tamamo no Mae laughed again. "As expected of the number one Onmyoji of the Heian period! I am naturally aware of this, but what does it matter? The Gods will eventually awaken, and the rules of heaven and earth are about to undergo a drastic change. You Onmyoji have all descended from Takamagahara and made your preparations. Can I not prepare in advance?"

"Rest assured, I have already stated that I will not harm your descendant or the territory he watches over. You can put your mind at ease!"

Abe no Seimei sighed deeply. "It is exactly because of words like that that I cannot put my mind at ease... A nine-tailed great demon from Qingqiu came to this country simply to charm the Emperor? Do you think the current me would believe that when the past me didn't?"

"Hah! Would I really covet the treasures and divine artifacts of your paltry little nation?" Tamamo no Mae's words carried a hint of dissatisfaction. "It was just that the imperial palace was comfortable to live in. If you didn't want me there, I could have just left. Why resort to shouting and killing?"

"You great Yokai, you don't have a single word of truth in you!" Abe no Seimei stopped talking, and Tamamo no Mae also shut her mouth, because Shiratori Hayato had arrived at the entrance of the Onmyoryo!

"Master Seiji, the sacrificial items you requested are ready. When do we begin?"
