Chapter 637 A Corpse Collector, Corpse Thief, and Corpse Digger: A Massive Army of Impure World Rein

After venting his anger on Ashihara and Takamagahara, Susanoo personally visited Ryuun to praise him and bestow upon him many fine gifts. He also provided Ryuun with a larger and more luxurious general's mansion.

Liu Yun wasn't surprised by the assassin's attempt to kill him. After all, it was only a matter of time before Qiongqiong Chuzun found out about him and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. It would be surprising if Liu Yun didn't dare to act because he was afraid of Susanoo.

After this battle, Liu Yun discovered that the fighting methods of the gods were neither numerous nor sophisticated, far less flashy than when fighting ninjas or the Otsutsuki clan...

Of course, this may also be because the gods have decreed that fighting is forbidden within the divine realm, so swordsmanship, knife skills, and physical combat have become the mainstream of combat in this world, and the use of some defensive spells is also permitted.

You can certainly engage in unrestrained battles and killings; you can fight freely in the space battlefields of the universe, but it just can't take place within the realm of gods...

After killing a True God Realm assassin, Liu Yun put his body into the Corpse-Hiding Lake in the Divine Might Small World. Afterwards, he even took the initiative to ask Susanoo for the body of another assassin.

The corpses of powerful beings at the peak of the True God Realm are the most perfect nourishment for the Divine Tree to bear fruit. Ever since Liu Yun planted the Ten-Tailed Fox, he has been intentionally collecting the corpses of such powerful beings to prepare for the future when the Divine Tree bears fruit.

The physical bodies of powerful beings in the Divine Realm and True God Realm are very difficult to decay over time after death. Their corpses contain powerful life energy, which is the nourishment that the Divine Tree needs most!

Sometimes, Liu Yun would use the guise of chivalry to capture powerful and fierce gods and demons, then defeat and seal them before throwing them into the Divine Might Small World, waiting for the day when the Divine Tree blooms before conducting a live sacrifice!

After Qiongqiong Chuzun's assassination plan failed, he didn't stubbornly attempt any more assassinations. Instead, he focused his energy on the war.

After all, both Izumo and Ryuun were on guard, so it was impossible for Nyonigi-no-Mikoto to kill Ryuun with minimal cost. Rather than going to great lengths to carry out an assassination, it would be more practical to invest their forces in the war.

As time went on, the war between Ashihara and Izumo intensified, with both sides gradually escalating from ordinary military forces into a true war between gods!

If we estimate based on the combat power of the ninja world, both countries have already begun to deploy mid-level combat forces at the Kage, Super Kage, and Six Paths levels!

At this level, Izumo is clearly superior in terms of combat power, because the entire population of Izumo is a soldier, and there are countless samurai in the country. While they uphold the spirit of Bushido, their social rules also respect martial prowess, and their people are known for their fierce and valiant nature...

In addition, Izumo Province is the birthplace of swordsmanship and martial arts. Many foreign warmongers have joined the attack on Ashihara Province after hearing the call of Susanoo, the great god!

As the only permanent deity in the divine realm, Susanoo's influence is enormous!

Over the years, Susanoo has frequently flaunted his power in Takamagahara, leading many warmongers to believe that following Susanoo is a promising career path...

Of course, Susanoo himself is quite protective of his own, and he certainly doesn't lack the charisma of a leader.

In Izumo Province, as long as you dare to fight and are good at fighting, you will definitely have the opportunity to stand out from the crowd, and you can have wealth, women, fame and power!

This is why, even though many people believe that Izumo Province may not be able to defeat Takamagahara, there are still many daring individuals willing to join Izumo Province!

Liu Yun wasn't interested in the petty squabbles between the two countries, but he was extremely interested in collecting corpses...

Each chakra fruit produced by the Divine Tree contains the genetic sequence information of the organisms of the native planet. Sacrificing more corpses to the Divine Tree can make this genetic information more complete, and Liu Yun can thus obtain more powerful divine power!

Most of the beings living in the realm of gods are descendants of the gods of Takamagahara. If Ryuun wants to obtain the power of the gods through the Chakra Fruit, the safest way is to obtain it from the corpses of those gods' descendants!

At this moment, the great war between the gods began, and corpses littered the land. Liu Yun took the opportunity to send his clones to secretly collect corpses between the two countries, and then secretly fed these corpses to the Ten-Tails.

Moreover, once Liu Yun started doing this, he completely abandoned his moral bottom line. He not only collected the corpses of those who died in battle, but he also set his sights on the tombs of certain powerful gods...

"If only my teacher (Orochimaru) and Kabuto were in the realm of gods..."

Liu Yun couldn't help but miss those two professional corpse excavators...

In order to collect corpses more effectively, Liu Yun even created several puppets called "Anti-epidemic Gods" and "Moral Corpse-Collecting Gods," using the banner of justice and righteousness to openly collect corpses.

The provinces of Ashihara and Izumo were initially quite concerned about the missing corpses on the battlefield. However, as the war escalated and more corpses appeared, both countries eventually tacitly allowed the theft of corpses for reasons such as disease prevention and reducing the burden.

In the eyes of both countries, cleaning up corpses might be to feed certain monsters or evil gods. They don't care about this and are happy that someone can take on the task of reducing the burden of epidemic prevention free of charge. If you think about it carefully, these things are beneficial to everyone.

As time went on, the war between Ashihara and Izumo continued for two hundred years without any sign of ending. Both sides suffered extremely heavy casualties, and the populations of both countries continued to decline. As a result, the two great powers began to forcibly import more people and food supplies from abroad to continue the consumption of this earth-shattering war.

Moreover, as the war continued, even more powerful divine forces began to appear on the battlefield, and Takamagahara also began to send heavenly soldiers and generals to provide war support to Ashihara!

Ryuun learned of these extremely unfavorable war reports from Susanoo, and so he volunteered, claiming that he possessed divine arts that could revive war warriors and allow them to continue fighting for Izumo...

Susanoo was curious and wanted to understand the secrets of this divine technique, but Ryuun only gave vague answers and refused to completely hand over the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

However, based on his guarantee to Susanoo, Ryuun began to take the war more seriously and rebuilt the Edo Tensei army. Soon after, he put it into the war to fight the gods of Takamagahara head-on!

With the addition of the Impure World Army, the battle situation in Izumo Province has clearly stabilized, and Susanoo has become even more appreciative and valuing of Ryuun. Ryuun is almost becoming Susanoo's right-hand man and a trusted confidant!

However, as Liu Yun began to touch the soul realm of the gods, he gradually discovered some astonishing secrets, and these secrets also involved the great god Susanoo!

Ryuun discovered that the samurai swords used by the Izumo army were a mass-produced, specially made weapon. These weapons were engraved with a special rune, and enemies who died by these weapons could not be summoned by Ryuun's Impure World Reincarnation technique. In other words, their souls never went to the Pure Land!

"A large number of souls have disappeared. If they don't go to the Pure Land, then they can only go to the Underworld... These runes on the weapon must be the reason!"

Liu Yun toyed with a standard samurai sword in his hand, but in his heart he was vaguely figuring out some unknown secrets.

He remained silent and showed no intention of revealing the secret. Sometimes, playing dumb is the best way to protect oneself; knowing too much could bring about one's own demise...

Ryuun told Susanoo that the technique could only summon the souls of the dead on one's own side and required the consent of the heroic spirits on one's own side for it to work. Only after obtaining Susanoo's permission could the Impure World Reincarnation technique be fully used on the battlefield!
