Chapter 194 Izumo
Unlike any previous simulation, this time Wu Xuan did not fall into weakness in the initial stage, but was... quite sober.
He opened his eyes and looked around, and found that everything here seemed to be very similar to the Azure Star he knew hundreds of years ago.
——Of course, being roughly the same refers to the level of technology.
The environment here feels...not very peaceful.
"Is this Izumo...? I don't seem to know anything about this place..." Wu Xuan thought.
"Forget it...why don't you go out and see what's going on..."
Unexpectedly, Wu Xuan had just had such a thought when his head began to hurt violently and a series of images appeared in front of him.
Wu Xuan saw a purple and a golden planet revolving around a dark "sun".
At this moment, a strange mechanical sound appeared in his consciousness like a narration explanation.
[Two planets, intertwined with each other's tragic fate, dance an eternal round dance around a dark sun]
[In the beginning, one of the planets gave birth to humans. They bowed their heads and called the land under their feet "Izumo"]
[They raised their heads again and pointed to the world in the sky as "Takamagahara"]
The next second, Wu Xuan's eyes turned into a sea of fire.
A tall building broken into pieces, a shattered torii, a sky torn apart by a giant claw, a sea burning wantonly...
It's like the end of the world.
[On a day not recorded in history, the "Eight Million Gods" descended from Takamagahara, and the evil beasts named after God caused the sky to collapse, the sea and rivers to burn, and the earth to collapse.]
[It was not until this moment that people realized with horror that those evil gods did not invade for the purpose of domination, rule or plunder]
[——The evil gods come only to hunt]
And then, twelve swords of different styles appeared in front of Wu Xuan, and twelve pairs of hands were holding them tightly, as if holding the hope that belonged to Izumo.
[At the critical moment of life and death, Izumo embarked on the path of "Kamikari", and used the whole country's strength to kill the great disaster "Tsumukari God" and forged its beast body into the first "Emperor Sword" - "Shin"]
[Give him a taste of his own medicine. By chanting the mantra contained in the blade, the sword holder will hold the divine power of Takamagahara in his hands, fight against the evil gods, and save the people of the world.]
[From then on, the Izumo Kingdom began a long conquest, with countless sacrifices in exchange for the fall of one god after another]
[He has broken thousands of swords in the world, and finally forged the "World Protecting Sword"... 7 names]
[The first is "True", which was cast by killing "Tumukari God". It can enable mortals to observe the law, deconstruct all things and recreate miracles.]
[The second one is "Sky", which was made by "Tian Changli Zun". It can turn the sky into a wall, making it difficult for the gods of Huojin to pass through.]
[The third one is "Ming", which was forged by "Takemiya Thunder God". It can cause lightning to tear the sky apart, and the stars and thunders can strike and punish the sky.]
[The fourth is "Rain", which was forged by "Shinatohiko". It can cause the wind to break the earth, and the clouds to rush and the rain to roar.]
[The fifth is "Frost", which is made by cutting "Winter Clothes of Heaven". It can freeze the seasons and freeze the endless frozen earth.]
[The sixth is "Life", which is made by cutting "Stone Chang Bi Mai", and can make a desolate tomb full of flowers, and the cycle of life and death will disappear without a trace]
[The seventh is "Fierce", which is made by "Kagutsuchi", and can make the blazing fire burn the world, and the blazing flames will burn the sky and set the prairie on fire]
[And you... Wu Xuan, have now become the wielder of the seventh of the "World-Protecting Edict Swords" - "Lie". Today... is a rare day off for you wielders.]
[You are different from the other knife-wielding people. You are relatively...slow in your perception of the outside world, so you don’t like to be with many people.]
[To put it bluntly... you are not sociable, but you did not find anyone like you in this vast crowd. However... after you joined this team, you found it.]
[A person who is also relatively slow to perceive the outside world. She is the wielder of the third "World Protection Sword" - "Ming", Huang Quan]
[After spending a brief time with her, you discovered that you and she had a lot in common, and you became closer.]
[You first met on a rainy afternoon. You were holding a white peach crepe, and she was holding a caramel crepe from the same store.]
[After returning to your residence, the two of you met by chance, and then... sat together by chance and exchanged snacks.]
[From then on, Huang Quan loved everything with white peach flavor, and seemed to... like this taste very much]
At this point, the scene in front of Wu Xuan's eyes gradually disappeared. He looked down at the shopping bag on the table next to him, which contained two bottles of soda and some snacks.
Wu Xuan sighed softly, then walked towards the courtyard at the back with the shopping bags.
It was not until Wu Xuan saw the familiar figure that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. Then he took out a can of white peach flavored soda from the plastic bag and handed it to her from behind.
As if she sensed the movement behind her, or perhaps the can of white peach-flavored soda appeared in her field of vision, she took the can of soda quite naturally, and then slowly said:
"You said... When can we continue to have peace?"
Wu Xuan shook his head slightly, then he also took out a bottle of cherry-flavored soda and sat on the platform next to Huang Quan. He looked at his friends who were talking and laughing in the courtyard and whispered:
"Perhaps we will have peace when we kill the next evil god, or perhaps... we will never have peace in our lifetime."
After saying this, Wu Xuan raised his head and looked towards the sky, whispering: "This is all like a dream, a dream of an immortal curse..."
Huang Quan fell silent after hearing this, and then nodded slightly, agreeing with Wu Xuan's words.
From the moment the knife-wielder chooses to pick up the "World-Protecting Sword", his life will be deeply bound to the "Sword". The mantra in the sword will make their hearts beat forever until... the end comes.
The two of them just sat there quietly, enjoying this rare peace.
However, the next second, hurried footsteps were heard in the courtyard behind them, accompanied by shouts.
"Everyone! Another evil god has appeared! It's a monster... covered in mirrors and eyes!"
Just when she was about to say something, a light curtain suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, just like the virtual light curtain developed by Izumo four or five Amber Ages later.
