"Don't go over there, outsider. You don't belong here, you don't belong to the Great Peach God's dream, at least not yet. If you come into contact with the soulless dream phantom body, reality will invade and the dream will restart. I think you should have tried yesterday what will happen specifically."

The black-robed girl's tone was still cold and gloomy. The lantern in her hand creaked and shook in the night. The faint light reflected on the ground, but it only projected a haze that was thicker than the night.

"You..."

Kamiyakawa held the Dojikiri and glanced at the black-robed girl again, and then looked at the little Yatagarasu on the river bank a little further away.

The Yatagarasu, after being comforted by the Great Peach God, has now thrown herself into the latter's arms and cried loudly.

And between the black-robed girl and the little Yatagarasu——

The gloomy style of the black-robed girl and the little Yatagarasu.

There are also two pairs of eye-catching black wings growing behind them.

Although their faces could not be seen clearly under the cover of the black hood, the exposed skin was pale and bloodless, like white paper.

The black-robed girl in front of him, from the appearance alone, felt like a slightly larger Yatagarasu.

Kamiya Kawa: "Yataarasu?"

"Yes."

The black-robed girl did not deny it, and the black hood moved slightly.

She was indeed Yatagarasu.

Kamiya already knew that the dream he was in now was probably just a replay of the events that happened on the day of the "Millennium Celebration" in Tsukushi Castle.

And the little Yatagarasu on the river bank a little further away was just a projection in this dream.

The real owner was the grown-up one in front of him.

Unlike the other people in the dream, the big Yatagarasu gave Kamiya Kawa a more real feeling.

Then there is reason to suspect that she, like Kamiya and his group, may exist directly in this dream of overlapping reality and illusion in the form of "flesh".

Considering that the "Millennium Celebration" probably happened tens of millions of years ago.

Then, as a human grass, Yatagarasu should have lived for a very long time and have a very long lifespan.

This can be verified from the sad breath she carries.

Judging from this breath, Kamiyagawa speculated that Yatagarasu should be an A-level god.

The aura of Yatagarasu is different from that of Mary, but it is somewhat similar to that of Ibaraki Douji.

It is estimated that it has never contained the bones of a god, and has transformed into a god purely through the long years of practice and experience.

Kamiyakawa continued to look at the big Yatagarasu openly, and said at the same time: "The 'dream phantom body without soul' you mentioned refers to the little you over there?"

"Yes." Yatagarasu nodded, "and the peach fairy over there, because he is not actually here, and also some other people in the city."

"Others?"

"For example, Granny Huai. And the three children around Xiang Er, excluding Xiang Er. There are no souls attached to their phantom bodies. The dream we are in started five years after the millennium celebration of Chikushi Castle. When the dream appeared, Granny Huai had already passed away, and her soul was also transferred by me, so she did not come in. As for the other three children..."

Kamiyakawa quickly thought of something: "The three filthy human figures attached to the power of Hades who entered the dream from the cracks of reality last night. I retreated ...... So, they are the three children?"

"Yes."

"So, all the people in Chikushi Castle, except you, have been eroded by Huangquan?"

"Except for me and the original body of Master Taoxian. As for the others..." Yatagarasu's tone became even darker, but it was also deeply numb:

"In fact, they are dead. They all died in the fifth year after the Millennium Celebration. But they are not really dead, nor are they alive. Their corpses are in the sober reality, and they are filthy and rotten under the infection of Huangquan's power. Their dying souls are captured and dragged by this dream. They struggle in the endless cycle and cannot be freed. "

"Huangquan invaded Apogihara, right?"

"...Yes."

In fact, after knowing that the "Millennium Celebration" of Chikushi Castle was just a dream, Kamiyagawa had already anticipated the situation here.

You know, according to the progress of the real timeline, for a long period of time, Huangquan forces had fought several battles with Takamagahara forces.

They even invaded Kaigoku, Sanzu River, Ainu and other places.

The last outbreak occurred at the end of the Heian period, when Abe Haruaki led the Takamagahara side.

It now appears that in the fifth year after the millennium celebration of Chikushi Castle, the forces of the Yellow Springs broke through or bypassed the seal of the Senbiki Stone for the first time, and then directly attacked Apogihara nearby.

This place is too far from Takamagahara, and too close to the Yellow Springs.

You can imagine what the outcome will be.

Seeing that Yatagarasu answered every question, Kamiya simply continued to ask: "Apogihara is too close to the Yellow Springs, have the human grass here never thought of leaving?"

"I have thought of it." Yatagarasu's tone was still calm, and the syllables that slipped out of her lips and teeth were like the air of death, "The Great Peach God governed Apogihara and tried to lead everyone to escape countless times, but he couldn't do it."

"There is a barrier on Apogihara that traps the human grass."

The keen Kamiya River could roughly guess the reason why the human grass here could not leave Apogihara.

"Yes, before Izanagi left Apogihara, he also left a barrier seal here. He used this place as a second barrier to block the Yellow Spring." The tone of Yatagarasu finally fluctuated.

This matter was not known until two years after the "Millennium Celebration" actually happened, when the relationship between Yatagarasu and the Great Peach God became close.

And the generous Taoxian also said that this matter was not Izanagi's fault.

He said that Izanagi sealed off Apogihara just as a temporary measure in a hurry to further ensure that the restless Yellow Spring would not cause trouble to the world.

As for the Great Peach God, he did not leave with Izanagi.

He originally had the opportunity to leave, but chose to stay and protect the people and grass here on behalf of Izanagi.

Moreover, the Great Peach God always believed that Izanagi would find a way to completely eradicate the Yellow Spring.

Believe that he will come back and save this place.

I don't know what the Great Peach God has experienced with Izanagi. Perhaps it was because the Great Peach God was really created by Izanagi as recorded in the myth.

In short, it is certain that he had a paranoid admiration for Izanagi.

But the fact is that Izanagi never came back.

After living for a long time, Yatagarasu can be sure that Apogihara has been completely abandoned by Takamagahara.

Those high gods trapped Tsukushi Castle and Hyuga Castle together with Hades.

They don't care about the lives of the people here.

Yatagarasu: "Outsider, I have answered all your questions. Next, it's my turn to ask you."

"Yeah, that makes sense. Go ahead."

"Where are you from, and why did you come to this God-forsaken land?"

"I came here to find human master materials related to Izanagi. Maybe the Great Peach God has what I want. As for where I came from, I hope you can calm down and listen to me - I came from Takamagahara..."

"Oh."

The pale knuckles of Yatagarasu holding the long-handled sickle were obviously tightened a bit.

"It's not the Takama-hara you remember." Kamiya continued to explain while paying attention to Yatagarasu's behavior:

"You should know that the dream on Apogihara has lasted for thousands of years, and the outside world has changed dramatically. During such a long time, Huangquan and Takama-hara have fought several wars, which made the gods withered and even Izanagi disappeared."

"And I was just an ordinary person who inherited Takama-hara's legacy at the beginning. The new Takama-hara was established by me and has little connection with the old god Takama-hara. Please understand the Takama-hara that I represent as an emerging force. As for the suffering on Apogihara, it was not caused by me."

Kamiyakawa made a direct statement and cut himself off from Izanagi.

He did not choose to lie to Yatagarasu because he felt that this A-level god was an object that could be won over.

Perhaps he could get her help in escaping from the dream of the Great Peach God.

If the seeds of lies are planted when there is no trust between the two sides, then a huge gap may be created in the future, which is not conducive to the continued development of a good relationship.

Moreover, the new Takama-ga-hara that he leads is originally a new force different from the old Takama-ga-hara.

Kamiyagawa: "Izanagi abandoned Apogihara. I am different from those old gods. Since I came here, I will do my best to save this place."

"But there is nothing here that can be saved."

Yatagarasu shook her head. Although her eyes were covered by the hood, she could feel that she was looking at Kamiyagawa again:

"I can see that your natural life span is extremely long, and perhaps it will be longer in the future than now. But the beginning of your life is very short, as if it was only a moment. What happened in Apogihara really has nothing to do with you."

Hearing what Yatagarasu said, Kamiyagawa felt relieved.

Very good!

She is sensible.

Although she looks cold, she is unexpectedly gentle.

That's the truth. Kamiyagawa has lived in this world for more than 20 years at most. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and he can't take the blame for the pot left by the old gods thousands of years ago.

So, Kamiya continued to talk to Yatagarasu: "You just said, 'a dream-like body without a soul'. So, many people here have souls, right? But I don't see the difference between them."

"All bodies are part of the dream, and there is really no difference. However, those with souls will react to the appearance of you, an outsider."

"Reaction?"

"Yes. You have already come into contact with many people here. Sakura, Xianger, etc. Their souls were originally trapped in the dream, and they would only follow the established route, Doing the same exact things day after day. But when you come into contact with them, they may deviate from the original track of their activities in the dream. "

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"I can't tell. But it's best not to come into contact with this kind of phantom body again."

"Why?"

"Because the more they come into contact with beings that don't belong to the dream, the more likely they are to wake up. They will remember everything, their own death, and the endless cycle of celebrations."

The Yatagarasu said this, turned around and looked at the farther river bank, where the celebration crowd gathered.

"Can you see and hear?" she asked.

Kamiyagawa also looked in that direction.

I saw the crowds gathering together in a bustling manner, and the lights on the river flowing brightly.

I heard their laughter and laughter flying everywhere in the night wind.

Lively, peaceful and joyful.

What he saw and heard was such a beautiful scene.

However, Yata Bird could not feel the joyful atmosphere in such a festive scene.

She had seen this scene before her countless times, and now she could only feel numbness and sadness.

"All souls trapped in dreams are in pain, with no peace or relief. They are caught in the whirlpool of dream reincarnation, crying hysterically, struggling for help. Even if they are still immersed in sweet dreams, the sounds are getting louder and louder day by day. Louder every day.”

"If the souls trapped here were fully conscious, they would only suffer more."

"I've tried it many times...many times."

Because of Yata bird's ability and her sensitivity to souls. It allowed her to feel more, to feel things hidden under the lively and joyful surface that Kamiyagawa could not perceive at a glance——

The Apoqi River is dotted with river lanterns, shining brightly into a beautiful strip of light.

The Apoqi River is extinguished and dim, and the river water rolls into a whirlpool cage that can never be broken out.

The people are laughing.

The people were crying and begging.

This cycle goes on and on, never ending.

…

Kamiya River looked away from the far bank.

"You just said that there is no salvation here, right?"

"right."

"But I think there are still people here who can be saved."

"for example?"

"Such as you."

Kamiya felt that it was best to look at Yata Bird when saying this.

Unfortunately, the brim of the other party's hood is too low, so this simple act of communicating with one's soul cannot be realized.

"You mean... me?"

But Yata Bird was still a little surprised, his thick black robe swaying slightly in the night wind.

"You are also trapped in a dream, aren't you? In the afternoon, I heard Grandma Huai say that the Yata bird will practice the dead and give the souls the final peace. I can feel that you want to end the dream here. reincarnation."

"You just said that to get out of trouble, right?"

"Maybe so."

Kamiya is still calm and calm in wooing Yata Bird:

"I forgot to mention it just now. One of my shikigami is the master of the Santu River in the underworld. You can extradite the dead souls, and she controls the underworld. I think you two should talk about it, maybe even the dream reincarnation here It's over, you two can give the fallen souls here a home."
