Chapter 963: Blade Master
Takamagahara is a hidden divine realm concealed in the void. Unless summoned by the Gate of Beckoning, no one can enter it.
The inability to enter Takamagahara means we cannot actively eliminate that catastrophe and can only passively wait for its arrival… In this way, the Red Moon-contaminated Takamagahara hangs like a Sword of Damocles over Da Xia’s head!
And the key to changing all this is the Magatsurugi!
The Kunitsukami and Amatsukami have fought for countless years, specifically forging the Magatsurugi to break through Takamagahara’s advantage of seclusion.
The legend of splitting Takamagahara probably doesn’t mean literally cleaving the divine realm in two, but rather that the Magatsurugi, when all nine blades are united, can break open the Gate of Beckoning to Takamagahara!
This way, the hidden realm of Takamagahara would be completely exposed to the real world, and we could take control of eliminating the catastrophe into our own hands.
After Lin Qiye understood all this, Old Wang Mian’s grand strategy of coming from the future and manipulating time was fully revealed before his eyes.
He created a time loop in the fishing village, sealing away the Red Moon-infected whale transformation, forcibly delaying the catastrophe by over fifty years.
He sent Bai Li Pangpang back more than fifty years to maintain the Yata Mirror’s purity from Red Moon contamination while dispersing the Night Curtain team in batches into Takamagahara’s “Human Circle” to advance the unification of the nine Magatsurugi blades, thereby reversing Da Xia’s passive situation and countering Takamagahara!
Old Wang Mian understood the “Human Circle” and knew about the Magatsurugi and its wielder. From the beginning, he knew that the key to uniting the nine Magatsurugi blades lay with two people.
Yuzuri Takashiro and Yuzuri Nae.
This is why when Lin Qiye drifted to the “Human Circle,” he happened to meet Yuzuri Nae, who possessed royal blood.
The timing and location of their meeting was perfect, and behind all these coincidences was an invisible hand controlling everything.
While all these events seemed unrelated, from the very beginning, Old Wang Mian’s sword had only one target…
The Red Moon-contaminated Takamagahara!
Lin Qiye explained all this to the Night Curtain team members, and they finally showed expressions of sudden understanding.
“By the way, Qiye,” Cao Yuan seemed to remember something and looked around, “where’s Jialan? Weren’t you together?”
Lin Qiye froze and fell silent.
…
Boom–!!
An earth-shattering explosion came from within the mist. The game scene floating above the city ruins suddenly shattered, and an enormous black shadow fell heavily from the sky onto the ground.
At the same time, a figure in red clothing wielding a blood scythe was also sent flying back, barely stabilizing in mid-air before looking up at the black and gold metallic dome above.
Yuzuri Takashiro wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and ignoring the severely wounded Corpse God below, he pushed his speed to the limit and flashed directly toward the blade!
Moments later, his figure appeared above the blade, slowly landing on the calm black and gold lake surface.
Sunlight penetrated through the gray mist, falling on the blade and reflecting a faint golden halo. Yuzuri Takashiro, wearing red clothing, looked around anxiously.
“Takashiro.”
A bell-like voice came from afar, and Yuzuri Takashiro turned to look.
A petite figure wearing a black kimono with cherry blossoms, barefoot on the black and gold lake surface, landed gracefully like a butterfly before him, smiling as she looked at him.
“Sister!” Yuzuri Takashiro stared at her face in a daze for a long while before coming back to his senses.
Those cross-shaped starry eyes flickered with unprecedented sadness.
“How did you…”
“Don’t cry, Takashiro. Sister is now the soul of this blade, an immortal existence. It’s quite impressive!”
Yuzuri Nae reached out as if to wipe away his tears, but her hand passed ethereally through Takashiro’s face like a ghost.
She paused for a moment, hiding the trace of sadness in her eyes, and tiptoed on the black and gold lake surface, floating up until she was at eye level with the tall Yuzuri Takashiro.
She reached out and gently placed her hand on Yuzuri Takashiro’s blood-stained white hair, patting it:
“See, I can reach your head now.”
Her smile was like flowers blooming.
Yuzuri Takashiro clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably, “Sister, you should have let me do it!”
“That wouldn’t do,” Yuzuri Nae shook her head, smiling, “My little brother is a magnificent white-robed god, it would be such a waste for him to become a blade soul.
Takashiro, you’re too amazing, sister has been left far, far behind… Being able to become the blade soul, catching up to your footsteps, and having the chance to see you again, sister is already very happy.”
Yuzuri Nae paused, looking down at her ethereal toes, murmuring softly:
“It’s just that, sister won’t be able to make you pork cutlet rice anymore…”
Hearing these words, Yuzuri Takashiro’s lips trembled, and he could no longer hold back his tears. He reached out to embrace Yuzuri Nae but passed through her body, stumbling and falling to the ground.
On the black and gold lake surface, this white-robed god who stood tall in the eyes of the world knelt down, tears flowing like springs, his right fist repeatedly striking the ground, crying like a helpless child.
Yuzuri Nae stood before him, looking at him tenderly, opening her arms to embrace him ethereally, smiling:
“Takashiro, sister is still here, just without a body. The men of the Yuzuri family need to be strong.”
Yuzuri Takashiro cried in Yuzuri Nae’s embrace for a long while before slowly standing up, wiping away his tears and nodding firmly, “Sister, from now on, I will always keep you by my side.”
In the blade’s light spots, the threads connecting to the “Human Circle” residents gradually diminished as almost all the people were transferred into the blade’s world. The light spot contracted like a tide beneath Yuzuri Nae’s feet, finally transforming into her shadow cast on the black and gold lake surface.
Seeing this, Yuzuri Nae raised her head, looked into the distance, and sighed deeply.
“A new world has been created for them, but the energy needed to maintain this world’s operation is far from sufficient. I wonder where we can obtain such a large amount of energy…”
“There will be a way, sister,” Yuzuri Takashiro consoled.
“Yes, let’s solve the immediate problem first.”
Yuzuri Nae looked down at the Corpse God silently roaring at the sky among the urban ruins, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Yuzuri Takashiro walked to her side, his blood-stained white hair dancing in the wind.
This pair of siblings stood at Japan’s world peak, like deities looking down upon all living beings.
“Sister, can I channel this blade’s power?”
“Of course,” Yuzuri Nae smiled slightly. “Don’t forget, this divine weapon is essentially the Magatsurugi, and the Magatsurugi’s power can be used regardless of the wielder’s realm.
As long as you hold me, you can possess power rivaling the gods.
However, the prerequisite is that your body must withstand the divine weapon’s backlash. After all, you’re not yet at the divine realm and cannot use divine power to wield this blade. Currently, each swing not only consumes my power as the blade soul but also burdens your body, so you must end battles quickly.”
“Am I considered this blade’s master?”
“Yes, as long as you have my approval as the blade soul, you are the Magatsurugi’s master.” Yuzuri Nae paused, then continued with a smile, “And in this world, there are only two people who have my approval and are qualified to wield this blade…”
