Chapter 904 The Gate of Reception
In the moonlight, Wu Xiangnan stood by the window, lips slightly moving, calmly explaining his plan.
Wang Mian frowned deeply after hearing it.
“Is this really feasible?”
“A slim probability doesn’t mean there’s no hope at all… This is the best I can do.”
“Perhaps you don’t need to push yourself so hard.”
Wu Xiangnan turned around, looking into Wang Mian’s eyes, and said seriously: “If one day, the person who killed the [Mask] squad stands before you, could you tell yourself the same thing?”
Wang Mian fell silent.
“The current situation in the ‘Human Circle’ is very complicated, with mysteriously appearing corpse beasts, increasingly turbulent society, and the Shangxie Association about to initiate the ‘Human Circle’ destruction plan… This matter involves too much, I need a lot of time to prepare.
For now, you should return to the Kazesai family first. After everything settles down, the Shangxie Association can send you back to Daxia.”
After speaking, Wu Xiangnan drained his tea cup in one gulp, his eyes filled with determination.
“I can help you,” Wang Mian suddenly spoke.
Wu Xiangnan frowned, “No, this has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to get involved.”
“It does,” Wang Mian’s eyes sparkled, “Aren’t you planning to strike at Takamagahara? There’s something I want in Takamagahara… I’ll help you kill Susanoo, you help me get that item, it’s a fair trade.
I’ve now reached humanity’s ceiling, capable of fighting against gods. With my help, your chances of success will greatly increase.”
Wang Mian’s primary goal now was to become a god, then reverse time to save everyone from [Mask]… and to become a god, he must resolve the issue of laws.
The item the Time God wants is in Takamagahara. If he could get that item this time, he would have leverage to negotiate with the Time God!
Perhaps he could exchange this item for a path to godhood.
Wu Xiangnan stared into Wang Mian’s eyes, seeing no jest, and actually began to feel tempted.
With the help of Wang Mian, a human ceiling possessing the power of time, his probability of killing Susanoo would indeed increase significantly…
After pondering for a moment, he nodded.
“Alright.”
Seeing Wu Xiangnan agree, Wang Mian’s expression relaxed somewhat. He took a sip of tea and asked curiously:
“You’ve been to Takamagahara, you should be the human who knows it best. Where is it? How do we get in?”
“Takamagahara cannot be found.”
Hearing this, Wang Mian was stunned, “What do you mean?”
“Spatially speaking, Takamagahara’s location is directly above Japan, but it’s hidden in void space. Neither humans nor gods can find its existence. To enter it, one can only be guided by Takamagahara itself.
And those who can be guided by Takamagahara are only the indigenous gods who grew up there. Neither humans nor foreign gods can be guided in.”
“Then how did [Blue Rain] get in back then?”
“At that time, we entered the mist, aiming to hunt down the fleeing Yamata no Orochi.”
Wang Mian thought briefly and figured out the reason, “You mean you were mistakenly guided into Takamagahara along with Yamata no Orochi?”
“Correct.” A reminiscent look appeared in Wu Xiangnan’s eyes,
“We were chasing Yamata no Orochi through the mist, all the way to near the Japanese waters. Just when we were about to give up, a gate appeared above the sea level.”
“Gate?”
“A massive gate existing between illusion and reality. It stood majestically on the surging sea surface, no wave, however high, could leap over its threshold. When Yamata no Orochi fled to the front of that gate, the gate opened a crack, and all of us were involuntarily drawn in…
When we opened our eyes again, we were already in Takamagahara.”
…
At the bottom of the deep sea.
Merlin slowly opened his eyes.
He turned his head, his profound gaze seeming to pierce through space, falling distantly on some place.
Lin Qiye’s consciousness returned from the Gods’ Mental Hospital, and seeing Merlin staring at some place, he asked curiously:
“Lord Merlin, what are you looking at?”
“Wake up this sleeping young lady, we’re almost there,” Merlin stood up and said slowly.
Finally about to arrive…
Lin Qiye hadn’t checked the time, but he could roughly feel that they had been here for at least four hours. Although the transformed whale’s speed after revival wasn’t fast, with such a long time, they should have completely left Daxia’s border area.
Lin Qiye walked to Jialan’s side and gently woke her up.
“Qiye?” After waking up, Jialan looked around confusedly, “What happened? Has the loop been broken?”
“Yes, we’ve left the fishing village.”
Lin Qiye briefly explained what had happened to Jialan, had her retrieve [Immortal], and brought her to Merlin’s side.
“This is the great God of Magic, Merlin, the senior who rescued us from the loop.”
“Gre… Great God of Magic Merlin, hello, I’m Jialan,” Jialan obediently repeated Lin Qiye’s form of address.
“Just call me Uncle Merlin,” Merlin smiled kindly.
He raised his magic staff in hand, lightly tapped the ground, and a magic circle instantly flashed beneath the three people’s feet.
Lin Qiye and Jialan only felt their vision blur, and they were directly transported from inside the transformed whale to its external back.
At this moment, the transformed whale had surfaced from the deep sea to the water’s surface. The three stood on its broad back, with distant waves splashing white spray, and through the misty fog, they could vaguely see the dim coastal outline on the other side of the horizon.
Lin Qiye found the distant outline somewhat familiar, and combining it with the whale’s swimming distance during this period, he quickly realized and exclaimed in shock:
“This is… Japan?”
“Yes.”
“You said the source of catastrophe is in Japan?”
“No, the source of catastrophe isn’t in Japan…”
Merlin stretched out his hand, pointing distantly towards a direction in the mist, “It’s there.”
Lin Qiye and Jialan turned to look, and saw at the misty horizon’s end, above the rolling sea surface, a massive gate faintly outlined from the illusion, and before that gate that nearly reached the clouds, an enormous pressure swept over.
Lin Qiye’s eyes were filled with shock.
When Lin Qiye and others returned from Japan’s “Human Circle” before, they hadn’t seen this divine miracle-like thing.
“What is that?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“That is the Gate of Guidance,” Merlin’s deep blue magic robe fluttered in the sea wind as he pressed down on his hood with one hand, his eyes completely calm,
“The Gate of Guidance to Takamagahara, the realm of Japanese gods.”
