Chapter 134 Amaterasu

Zheng Wenjie looked up at the wind dragon in the sky, which had dissipated. The resentment of the Po-ling demon was torn away and dispersed. The bright full moon cast a soft silver-gray light, illuminating the entire sky, and the stars were also exceptionally twinkling.

Kotoko put down the Eight-foot Mirror and faced the white stone road. She could hear the shouts of the exorcists, and black air began to gather on the white stone.

One exorcist instantly vomited blood and fell to the ground. The next moment, another exorcist also vomited blood and fell to the ground. As the black air continued to gather, the exorcists lost their lives one by one.

But the remaining exorcists did not give up shouting, but instead summoned the Po-Xuan demon more attentively.

Zheng Wenjie looked at Qinzi's back, unable to understand why she let the exorcists who came to help her die one by one. He raised his eyes to look at the huge shape formed by the black air.

Zheng Wenjie could feel the fear coming from the black resentment, but the Pok'un, who had been severely injured by Qinzi, could no longer resist the summons of the exorcists, and could not even escape.

Just now it felt the call and felt that the person who caused it to fail was here, so it came here on its own initiative, but now it does not have enough strength to resist.

But this also aroused the ferocity of the Polu Demon. The resentment continued to condense, and the Polu Demon revealed its true form, the image of a colorful giant mouthworm. Facing the altar was a huge mouthpart covered with sharp thorns, exactly the same as the image of the Polu Demon that was widely circulated in Japan.

"Die... die" The Polu Demon let out a huge breath and let out a howl that was a combination of countless children's voices. The exorcists closest to the Polu Demon were unable to resist it. Together with the sacrificial table in front of them and the white stones on the ground, they lifted off the ground and flew towards the Polu Demon's wriggling mouthparts.

Facing the attack of the Pok'u-demon, Qinzi stood in front of Zheng Wenjie and the priestesses without fear, forming seals with her hands, and star-like light appeared around her. This was her spiritual power that was so powerful that it could take shape.

"Now! Kyoka!" Seeing that the current situation was exactly the same as Kotoko's plan, Otsuki Fumio no longer hesitated and shouted loudly.

Ever since the Pakuyu demon showed up, Kyoka had been staring at it with hatred. Seeing that the few exorcists were about to fall into the mouth of the Pakuyu demon, she clenched her teeth tightly to suppress the anger in her heart. At this moment, when she heard the voice from Otsuki Fumio, she released the bowstring without hesitation.

There was a huge sound of breaking through the air, and in the blink of an eye, two demon-destroying arrows passed by like two meteors and shot into the huge mouth of the Po-Xuan demon.

The Polu Demon suddenly raised its upper body, and a huge roar came from its mouth. There were continuous explosion sounds from its huge body. The body of the Polu Demon seemed to solidify in an instant, and then fell to the ground powerlessly in an instant, shaking the ground.

Kotoko was ready and began to chant a spell. The spiritual energy around her body turned into dense small arrows. As Kotoko moved her hands forward while forming a seal, the dense small arrows flew straight towards the Poqi demon who had fallen to the ground and was unable to recover.

The small arrows penetrated into the huge body of the Po-ling demon densely, like a drop of water entering the sea, without making any sound.

Zheng Wenjie sat cross-legged on the altar looking at the Pokumo, then lowered his eyes to look at Kotoko's dashing back. With the corner of his eye, he saw Otsuki Fumio and Kyoka collapse to the ground after shooting an arrow, and were helped away from the altar by the attendant priestess behind them.

Zheng Wenjie finally figured out why he felt something was wrong when he set foot on Baishi Road.

Why did Higa Kotoko let me sit here? They were enough to deal with the Pokémon without my help.

Kotoko allowed the exorcists to continue to sacrifice themselves, and until now she still has not used her full strength and is still conserving her own strength. If this is how Kotoko exorcises demons, why do these exorcists identify so much with Kotoko Higa.

He reached out and wiped the scriptures painted on his upper body, but it couldn't be wiped off. Zheng Wenjie sighed and wondered why he was so confident every time. It was the same last time and this time. Why didn't he think more about it and fell into the trap like a fool.

The fact that so many exorcists hovering between life and death recognize Higa Kotoko proves that she is not an ordinary person and is worth paying a price to gain her loyalty.

But just as he extended the olive branch, he was slapped in the face by Qinzi. Zheng Wenjie was not angry, but just felt that he was too stupid. With such earth-shattering cultivation, he looked down on others as inferior to himself.

Zheng Wenjie took a deep breath and watched as rays of light began to shoot out from the body of the Polu Demon, turning the Polu Demon into a hornet's nest. With a violent explosion, the Polu Demon exploded into a bloody mess, staining everything within sight with a bright red color.

Zheng Wenjie's eyes moved as he watched the blood flying towards him being absorbed out of thin air. A red light curtain wrapped Zheng Wenjie in it like a ball.

The light curtain absorbed the blood of the Po-ling Demon like a magnet at an extremely fast speed. After a while, Zheng Wenjie's eyes had turned deep red. As time passed, the deep red light curtain gradually turned back to transparent.

Zheng Wenjie saw that peace had returned to the outside world, there was no blood on the ground, and even the bodies of the exorcists were gone. Only the barefoot Kotoko Higa was standing on the small altar looking at him.

"Answer me a few questions first." Zheng Wenjie sighed and continued, "What's the reason? I believe I have always been kind to you."

Higa Kotoko smiled as she looked at Zheng Wenjie who was sealed by her: "Although you have the power of God, you do not have the wisdom of God. You are very conceited, no, very stupid."

Higa Kotoko looked up at the full moon in the sky: "When the world was still young, it was like floating fat, like a jellyfish, floating unsteadily. Then something sprouted like a reed bud and turned into a god."

"The first one created three gods between heaven and earth: the sun god Amaterasu, the moon god Miyabi, and the wind and rain god Susano-no-O. He gave birth to two more gods, and they are called the five gods of Betsuamatsu-jin."

"What are you trying to tell me by saying this? You don't believe what I tell you. Your so-called gods are nothing but zombies that live by sucking blood." Zheng Wenjie interrupted Higa Kotoko impatiently.

Sighing, Zheng Wenjie patted his forehead and said, "You want to tell me that you still believe in God and that's why you attacked me, right? Don't you hate God for killing your master?"

"Her name is Yaobikuni." Higa Kotoko looked at Zheng Wenjie and continued, "She should be punished. She disobeyed my order."

Zheng Wenjie looked at Higa Kotoko in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"My name is Amaterasu. It is really rude of me to introduce myself to you now."

Zheng Wenjie frowned and looked at Kotoko Higa, or Amaterasu, whose originally slightly rough face became as delicate as white jade.

"So... I was deceived by that Moonlight Blade."

"Yuuka Ren? You have seen him before, so you came to the Eight Islands. Are you here to find me?" Amaterasu smiled and asked curiously, "What did Yuuka Ren say to you that made you work so hard to find me?"

Zheng Wenjie laughed at himself: "He said that old man Xu Fu was beheaded by you, you are his sister, and Xu Fu is your father god."

"Yes, he is right." Amaterasu said calmly. "You are not a zombie, you don't have the blood of the Pangu clan." Zheng Wenjie locked his eyes on Amaterasu, his pupils turned blood red, and he carefully examined Amaterasu's body, but still did not find any trace of the Pangu clan's blood.

Hearing Zheng Wenjie's words, Amaterasu smiled happily, stretched the Eight-foot Mirror in front of herself, looked at the mirror and stroked her face.

"Because I hate that body. That body killed my relatives and my loved ones. It can only survive by the blood of its own people. That body killed my entire tribe."

Amaterasu put down the Eight-foot Mirror, raised her head and looked at Zheng Wenjie: "I am very satisfied now. I have turned back into a human. I have eliminated all the zombies that made me suffer, but there are still some that slipped through the net."

"The mythological story I just told was my idea, and I was also the one who established Xu Fu's status as a god."

"Am I smart? Of course, everyone who has met me admires my intelligence."

"I still remember when Xu Fu came to the tribe with his soldiers and generals on horseback, I had my father, who wanted to fight to the death, tied up and I led my people to submit to Xu Fu."

"The long swords they held and the horses they rode were all things I had never seen before. I knew that if I wanted to survive, the only way was to surrender."

Amaterasu sneered and looked at Zheng Wenjie and said, "Am I smart? My choice was correct. I saw with my own eyes that all the tribes that resisted Xu Fu were killed, and the soldiers brought by Xu Fu were not even injured."

"There is also the food that Xu Fu brought. The two large ships were filled with delicacies that I had never seen or tasted before. They really left me with an endless aftertaste. All the delicacies I eat now cannot be compared with the piece of cake that Xu Fu gave me."

Zheng Wenjie nodded without any impatience: "What happened next? Xu Fu bit you, and then you couldn't control your bloodthirsty impulse and sucked the blood of everyone in your tribe dry?"

Amaterasu looked at Zheng Wenjie with a cold look in her eyes: "Xu Fu adopted me as his adopted daughter and bit me, giving me the power to control light."

"I was so grateful to him that I swore to him that I would serve him forever until I found that I could no longer eat any food."

"One night, I couldn't control my body and watched helplessly as I sucked my mother's blood dry. Then my father, brothers and sisters, and the entire tribe died except me."

Zheng Wenjie hummed and asked, "Then didn't they also become zombies?"

Amaterasu looked at Zheng Wenjie and sneered: "It would be great if Xu Fu could be as stupid as you."

"Xu Fu sent people to cremate all the zombies. He said that there can't be too many zombies, otherwise sooner or later there will be no more humans, and then we won't be able to survive."

Zheng Wenjie suppressed the urge to slap her. He didn't want to waste time talking to her anymore, so he asked directly, "How did you do it? What treasure or magic allowed you to possess Higa Kotoko?"

"I'm so sorry, I seldom talk about the past, so when I think about it, it's so vivid."

Amaterasu smiled apologetically, but continued, "I regret why I didn't rebel with my father. Even if we died, we could die together. I was not left alone to suffer the inner torment."

"I did my best to help Xu Fu conquer all the tribes and unify the eight islands. Xu Fu gave the eight islands a name called Qiujinzhou."

Amaterasu looked at Zheng Wenjie as if she remembered a joke and said, "Your Excellency, do you know that Xu Fu originally went out to sea with the intention of returning to the Qin Dynasty with the credit for expanding the territory, hoping that the Qin Shihuang would make him a king and grant him these eight islands. However, when he just named these eight islands Akitsu Province, he heard the news that the Qin Shihuang had passed away."

"Then he went crazy and killed the soldier who had come across the ocean to deliver the letter. When I tried to persuade him, he told me that the Qin Shi Huang was also a zombie, and that he had bitten him."

"Xu Fu wanted to assist the First Emperor in establishing a great empire that would last for all eternity, but the First Emperor could not accept that he would become a zombie and had to suck the blood of his own people to survive."

"Xu Fu wanted to show the power of zombies, bring more people to the First Emperor, and let the First Emperor understand the power of zombies. But he didn't expect that before he returned to the Qin Empire with the credit for expanding the territory, the First Emperor had already given up everything."

Amaterasu looked at the sky with longing: "I really want to meet the First Emperor. This is a true emperor who truly loves his people."

"Insects like Xu Fu, who can only survive by sucking the blood of their own kind, are not ashamed of it but proud of it. It's really laughable."

Zheng Wenjie rubbed the vermilion scripture on his forearm awkwardly. Amaterasu's words made Zheng Wenjie feel offended.

"I learned a lot from Xu Fu, especially the story of Gou Jian, King of Yue, which made me understand what I should do."

Amaterasu looked at Zheng Wenjie proudly: "After 1,600 years, I finally did it. I eliminated these traitors of the human race."

"But Xu Fu is not dead yet. It would be too easy for him to just let him die. Since he wants eternal life, I will let him live forever. However, I met Xu Fu once before I was reincarnated, and he actually begged me to let him die."

Zheng Wenjie was really moved. Looking at Amaterasu was like seeing a treasure unparalleled in the world.

Zheng Wenjie understood what Amaterasu said. Now he just wanted to know how Amaterasu did it. As long as they were from the Pangu clan, even if they were just zombies with Pangu's bloodline, they only had a primordial spirit.

But now Amaterasu's body is a soul, and Higa Kotoko is the reincarnation of the soul split from Amaterasu's spirit.

If he knew this method, Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue would no longer be in real danger of their lives. And with this method, could Zheng Wenjie also have a human body like Amaterasu?

"No, it can't be that simple. There must be a price to pay if you want to do it." Although he thought of this, Zheng Wenjie was still a little excited.

"How did you do it? If you tell me, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will destroy the eight islands of Japan to find your true identity!"

Zheng Wenjie stretched out his fangs and looked at Amaterasu with bloodshot pupils. Zheng Wenjie still had some self-awareness. Even if he racked his brains, he would never have thought that Higa Kotoko was Amaterasu. If Amaterasu hadn't jumped out herself, Zheng Wenjie would have never found her. (End of this chapter)
