Chapter 1283 Signing a contract with humans, Tengu's choice

Chapter 1283 Signing a contract with humans, Tengu's choice
Although the original image of Tengu originated from China, after being introduced to the island country, it has undergone tremendous changes after a long period of evolution.

But considering the source, Tengu does come from Chinese mythology.

If there is such a thing as atavism, it means that Tengu will change from its current appearance to the appearance of Tengu in Chinese mythology.

However, in the Chinese mythology system, the Heavenly Dog does not seem to be very famous. If we must say something impressive, it is probably "the Heavenly Dog eats the moon".

It sounds powerful, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal for mythology.

Rumor has it that Erlang Shen Yang Jian’s Sky-Howling Dog is also a celestial dog, but I don’t know if that’s true.

With his identity, the information he could learn was still too little. Although he had devoured the memories of many people, there was still only a very small part about that country, especially in terms of history. Apart from those that were compiled and revised, there was basically nothing useful to find.

"I do not know."

Tengu shook his head. He could just sense that there was something he needed in that place, but he had no answers as to what it was and why he needed it.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the case."

Shuten-doji shook his head and looked at Tengu with some envy.

Although Tengu is not very famous in China, and his status in the Chinese mythology system is not high, and is far from being comparable to Kunpeng, it is undoubtedly much more powerful than Shuten-doji in the mythology system of his island country.

If the thing that attracts Tengu can really allow him to revert to his ancestral form and become the Tengu in the Chinese mythology system, then both his strength and potential will surely increase greatly, and he will definitely surpass him.

It's really a pity. Why does he have no direct relationship with the Chinese mythology system?

We have already borrowed so much, why not refer to more prototypes?

After sighing, Shuten-doji spoke indifferently to Tengu.

"If you're not in a hurry, I suggest you wait a little longer."

"China is different from an island country, and even more different from any other country in the world."

"I don't know where in China the thing that attracted you is, in the city or in the wild; but China will never allow a first-sequence level mutant beast to intrude into their country."

"If you suddenly barge in, you will most likely be greeted by death."

"You have just stepped into the realm of the First Sequence. In a battle of the same level, you have no advantage."

"Not to mention that the first sequence of China is basically blessed by divine gifts."

The strength of China has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every country in the world. It is the only country that can preserve all cities after the revival of spiritual energy.

Although some cities were destroyed by the beast tide, they were also rebuilt after the tide; compared with the difficulties faced by countries around the world in dealing with mutated creatures, China clearly had an absolute advantage in this war.

There are dozens of first-sequence-level psychics. In the entire island country, only the Sword God Sakura Ming has a divine gift. Basically every first-sequence in China has it. They are also the first country to establish a spiritual energy bureau and even combine psychic powers and technology.

In terms of strength, China today has surpassed the Lighthouse.

Perhaps the Lighthouse also has a similar number of first-sequence-level psychics, but only a few of them are actually used by the Lighthouse, and most of them occupy the land and establish their own bases.

Of course, according to the information from the minds of the people he devoured, the real lighthouse is still peaceful, and the living standards have not only not declined compared to before the revival of spiritual energy, but have even become more superior because of the special abilities brought by supernatural powers.

War? Mutations? Death?

These things are just what happen to the civilians on the periphery. For those elites, for those who stand at the top of the lighthouse, no matter how the world changes, it will not affect their safety.

But even if the lighthouse remains strong, it is obvious that the approach of protecting the elites is a helpless choice when the strength is not enough to protect everyone.

If they had the ability to shelter everyone, they would definitely not choose to protect only a small number of people.

Although China has not achieved the same, they have done the best they can. The difference between the two countries can be seen from these two.

If what Tengu needed was in the lighthouse, he would not dissuade Tengu, because he knew that with Tengu's strength, as long as he did not enter the inner circle where the elites were in the lighthouse, he would not pose any threat.

But unfortunately, what Tengu needs is in China.

Because of the tragedy that happened in Huaxia Haicheng, China attaches great importance to the safety of coastal cities. They have basically all kinds of new weapons, and even have formations that are like Yin-Yang magic but more powerful.

Even a first-sequence-level mutated sea beast could briefly contend with it.

As time passed, support from China was almost arriving.

As for flying there, it might be possible in other countries, but it is difficult in China.

He didn't know the specific reasons, but in the memories of the people he devoured, there were "no-fly" rules in Chinese cities. In these memories, there had never been a case of humans in a Chinese city being ambushed by flying mutated beasts.

Maybe it’s some kind of formation.

Just like Yin-Yang magic, in the eyes of Shuten-doji, formations are similar things. If one has a deep enough attainment, they can do whatever they want.

Just like the legendary Onmyoji Ampei Haruaki who also exists in the mythology of the island nation.

So in Shuten-doji's eyes, it would be a life-or-death situation for Tengu to go to China now, and it was hard for him to imagine how he could get what he wanted.

"As I recall, there are supernatural powers among humans that allow them to make contracts and control beasts, just like shikigami."

Tengu was silent for a while, and gave Shuten-doji an answer that made his eyes widen.

"You want to be a human shikigami?"

This is no joke. You have to know that in the myths and legends of the island country, Tengu has never become a human's Shikigami.

They have a high status in the monster world and are at the pinnacle of monsters. In some places, they are worshipped by humans in order to pray for peace and good luck.

For the sake of some mysterious feeling, he actually chose to become a human Shikigami. He couldn't believe that this was something a Tengu would do.

"If I can get that thing, I have no objection to signing a contract with a human and becoming his shikigami."

"But the premise is that it will not affect my potential."

In myths and legends, there is not much hatred between Tengu and humans. Some legends describe the plots in which Tengu helps humans solve problems, teaches skills or gives guidance, while some legends describe the harm and threat caused by Tengu to humans.

But this is just the different personalities between different Tengu. Just like humans have good and evil, there are also Tengu races that are friendly to humans or have malicious intentions.

He is the middleman among them. He has neither much kindness nor malice towards humans, so he is not opposed to becoming a Shikigami of a strong human.

That is, to sign a contract with the other party, or to become the other party's beast.

He doesn't like fighting, and neither agrees nor disagrees with Shuten-doji's desire to recreate the legendary Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. The reason he has always stayed by Shuten-doji's side is simply because it has been like this since he was born, and he's just used to it.

Now that he has things he wants to do, he naturally won't stay here any longer.

"Since this is your choice"

Shuten-doji looked at Tengu deeply, then shook his head slightly.

"Be careful on the road."

Tengu had said so much, even talking about becoming a human shikigami. Even though he was still reluctant about Tengu going to China, he didn't know how to dissuade him.

Of course, it’s not that he’s reluctant to see his friend go away. In the monster’s heart, although the emotion of friendship exists, he and Tengu don’t have a very deep friendship.

He simply felt sorry that his "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" plan lacked a strong man.

However, the island country is no longer what it used to be, and belief in mythology has fallen to the bottom. It is unknown whether monsters will come again.

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has also become a fantasy of the future.

It’s not so important whether to keep Tengu or not.

Moreover, even if Tengu became a Shikigami of a human in China, given the life-saving grace last time, if he wanted to do something and asked for his help, he would definitely not refuse.

As for the humans he contracted, there was no possibility of rejection. After all, the only people he would be enemies with were those of this country.

However, these are things that happened later. Everything is based on the contract between Tengu and a strong man in China. Tengu becomes the Shikigami of a certain strong man. In return, he helps him find the treasure that can transform his bloodline and complete the transformation of his bloodline.

If he was injured or even died by some powerful mutant creature in the sky or ocean before he arrived in China, then what he was thinking now would be meaningless.

Although the First Sequence is powerful, there is no shortage of First Sequence mutant creatures in the ocean and sky, and even terrifying creatures like Kunpeng, which are extremely powerful, have been born.

If Tengu is unlucky and encounters a first-sequence level mutant creature on his way to China, there will be nothing more to say afterwards.

"Ok, I know."

"I think there should be no problem."

Tengu nodded in response to Shuten-doji's reminder, and after saying hello to Shuten-doji, he spread his wings and flew towards China.

The sense of calling in his heart became stronger and stronger. If it were not for his reason controlling him and wanting to say goodbye to Shuten-doji, he would have flown to China immediately the moment he broke through the first sequence.

"Tengu."

Shuten-doji looked at the receding figure and opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He just picked up the wine gourd beside him and drank the wine in it in big gulps.

Speaking of which, he had almost finished drinking the wine made from the corpses of humans and mutant creatures he had hunted before, so it was time for him to go hunting some more.

But as for humans, we can only give up for the time being.

There are only a few survivors, and each of them is regarded by Luoshui Sanxian and Ling as the future of this country. If he dares to go hunting, they will hunt him down all over the island.

Not for the sake of ordering wine.

Even if we want to brew it, we have to wait until they develop and their population increases; but given the speed of human reproduction, it will probably take a long time.

So, let’s just hunt those mutated sea beasts. After all, there are many of them and they are weak.

Late at night, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight shines through the clouds, gently sprinkling on the earth, covering everything in a layer of light silver gauze.

In the night sky, the stars twinkle with faint light, complementing with the moon, forming a beautiful and quiet picture; the breeze blows, the leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound, as if nature is whispering, complementing with this quiet night.

Yecheng was a third-tier small city before the revival of China's spiritual energy. After the revival of spiritual energy, it maintained absolute peace because of the existence of the mountain god Li Chuan.

God, in this era, is not a word that can be used casually. Often only extremely powerful humans will be given the title of God.

Like the three gods of the island country and the thunder god of the lighthouse, they are all the first sequence in their respective countries and possess terrifying strength that ordinary people can't imagine.

But in China, not everyone can be called a "God", even the first-order ones.

Even Qin Tian, ​​Huo Yu and Chen Bing, the three people who were once as famous as Baidi, were only called "Emperor".

why?
Because China has a real God!
A god of nature who has truly entered the realm of gods, holds power, controls the power of all things in nature, and is nearly omnipotent!
They have a true god, and have witnessed the visions of heaven and earth caused by this god when he entered the realm of gods, and have enjoyed the benefits brought to them by these visions.

In such a situation, if you are not strong enough to be recognized by everyone, no one will give you the title of "God".

Li Chuan, however, was given the title of "Mountain God" under such almost impossible conditions. Although his supernatural powers were part of this, it also showed his strength.

If Li Chuan had to be in Yecheng to possess the strength of the first sequence during the first and second spiritual energy tides, then now his strength has exceeded the limits of the first sequence.

The tide of spiritual energy, the strengthening of [Natural Authority], and the breakthrough of the divine realm are not only enjoyed by humans and mutant creatures. These gifts from the world, but all of nature, including mountains, rivers, and oceans, are also enjoying them. In fact, they get far more benefits than humans and mutant creatures.

As a mountain god who has merged with the Yecheng Mountains, Li Chuan's strength has naturally become stronger because of the gifts he received from the mountains, but he rarely shows it.
