Chapter 1036: The Mystery of the Sacred Sakura Tree, Shadow's Abnormality

Everyone stood up, packed up the tea sets, and moved forward again.

Ying's eyes were full of remembrance.

The conversations and meetings with people from the past reminded her more and more of her friends from five hundred years ago.

Kitsusai Palace, Zhen, and others who passed away in front of her even earlier.

The topic got a little heavy on the way.

"You hid the disaster five hundred years ago from me and went to Kanreya alone."

"She is really different from me. She is not skilled in martial arts at all. Every time she encountered similar danger in the past, I was the one who stepped in on her behalf."

It was taken away once again, lost once again, and said goodbye forever once again, making Ying lower his head and look at his own shadow.

Jiang Yi took out different holy relics one by one and learned the stories inside them.

The fragments of the ritual, the breath of the wind is always in the present moment, but the burning of time is indelible, never-ending, and cannot be resisted. The wind god will turn the pages. But it is the ruthless god of time that has corroded this script beyond recognition.

Jiang Yi is still comprehending time.

The ritual sword, a prop sword that has been petrified over the long years, the ritual decorations on it are still clearly visible. It has the power of blessing washed by the wind of time. The unbladed prop sword has become as hard as rock in the wind of time.

The traces of time are transformed into bits of readable language.

Ying's voice seemed a little vague.

"This time, the situation was really forced, and they really had no choice but to leave me behind. No... it should be said that they hid me behind them. When I realized this..."

"It was too late. I only had time to see her dying."

She closed her eyes slightly, the sting of that scene lasting as if forever.

Ying and Paimon were both silent.

Jiang Yi went back and opened the Inazuma time calendar he got from Kamisato's family.

Ying calmed down and continued.

"She was already unconscious at the time, so I had no choice but to enter her consciousness... For you, it is a place like a pure land."

"There, we said our final goodbyes. I cried so hard, and even then I still didn't understand what she was thinking."

It is hard to imagine that a majestic god would cry as sadly as a mortal.

Shedding tears drop by drop.

But Ying and Paimon can understand the sadness of losing a loved one.

"Why was she the first to arrive in Kanreya instead of me? Why did she hide it from me? Is this what they call 'protecting'?"

Ying's voice sounds calm, but everyone can understand the ups and downs of emotions in his heart.

She looked at the tall sacred cherry blossoms that stretched across the Inazuma Islands.

Hands clenched slightly.

“It was there that I made up my mind to pursue eternity.”

"To bear witness to this determination, I preserved her consciousness space that was about to collapse and brought it back to Inazuma."

Ying and Paimeng suddenly seemed to understand... Jiang Yi... might... might be preparing to take someone back from time?

The god of Inazuma, really.

is it possible?

Is this the consciousness space that Kaoying just mentioned?

Jiang Yi absolutely cannot be resurrected without a possession, so this consciousness space is very important.

No wonder he asked about Ying.

Is this asking Yingtong if he agrees?

"When I returned to Inazuma, I was surprised to find a huge cherry blossom tree appeared on the Yingxiang Mountain, which you know as the Divine Sakura." Ying looked slightly confused.

Ying heard something wrong, "Appear? Hasn't Shenying always existed?"

"That's right!" Paimon said, "Didn't the Inazuma people say that the Divine Sakura has existed since ancient times, and is as eternal as the general."

Jiang Yi paused slightly and opened another ancient book.

Ying nodded: "Yes! At that time, everyone told me so naturally that the sacred cherry has existed since ancient times. I don't know why I am surprised."

This is a very strange situation.

Even Yae Shinko was puzzled by her question.

"No one doubts this." Ying stretched out his hand and caught the red cherry blossom that was flying upward from Ying and floating like a hydrangea.

"The existence of Shenying is obviously different from my memory. It seems that only I can feel that it appeared out of thin air."

The scarlet cherry blossoms, glowing like mist, gathered in the lightning element and transformed into petals.

Ying looked at everyone, especially at Jiang Yi at this moment.

"In the end, I could only believe that this was a magical phenomenon caused by that space of consciousness. And with the help of the power of the sacred cherry tree, I was able to quell the monster disaster in Inazuma."

Paimon found himself scratching his head a lot today!

It was also a concept beyond her understanding.

Ying guessed: "Maybe it's real power."

Paimeng sighed: "Well, Jiang Yi, why don't you say something! You're making us even more nervous and anxious!"

She didn't mention whether Jiang Yi was planning to save Zhen.

As long as you don't say it out loud, perhaps you won't have so much hope.

"I believe what Ying said...the divine cherry blossom appeared out of thin air." Jiang Yi said, "I also believe in time."

Ying felt that there was something else behind Jiang Yi's words, but, could just hearing the true ending make Jiang Yi so guilty as to violate the taboo and challenge time?

If she asked, Jiang Yi would definitely answer like he did to Hua Sanli, "Do you believe in looking back five hundred times in your previous life and encounters by chance?" Although strictly speaking, that was outside the world.

Ying walked across the land, looking at the roots of the sacred cherry trees scattered everywhere. "Compared to the love that Shin has for this land and for humanity... I am still far behind. I had decided never to talk about this past again. Facing separation is a very painful thing. But... the bitter tea has a sweet aftertaste when it enters the throat."

She decided to face everything and had some hope for Jiang Yi.

Separation, Ying understands.

She understood Jiang Yi's thoughts.

As expected, when facing life and death, most people are just ordinary people.

Using a slightly less irritating tone, she asked about the shadow who had personally experienced the battle five hundred years ago and had been to Kanria.

"Ying, have you seen my brother?"

She and Paimon described the sky.

Sora who is related to Kanreya.

Ying was very sorry: "I was not able to witness the whole process. When I arrived there, the most brutal battle had already ended. And... at that time, my heart was completely occupied by Inazuma and the misfortune of the people around me."

She couldn't help, and Ying and Paimon felt a little sorry for it, but they didn't force it.

On the way, Ying seemed a little tired, and he held his forehead from time to time, and the frequency of this became more and more frequent.

"Ying, what's wrong with you?" Paimon asked.

"It's okay!" Ying shook his head.

Another tree root.

Light emerged from the sap of the sacred cherry tree and transformed into three warriors who were fighting against the beast realm hounds.

They were the samurai of the shogunate five hundred years ago. When they saw the queen of the screen come out, they guarded the general.

Jiang Yi stopped attacking.

"Don't worry, General. It is in times of crisis like this that the power bestowed upon us by God becomes more meaningful." The warrior wearing the Eye of God stepped forward with his weapon in hand.

"I know that God is omnipotent and is willing to grant power to humans, which shows that God has great expectations for us. Now that the General is in trouble, it is time for us to fulfill our promise."

The ancient holders of the Eye of God viewed it in this way.

They understood that everyone was desperate and were very happy to find the General.

Because as long as the general is in the front, hope will be rekindled in everyone's hearts.

This hope is the light that guides them through the darkness.

Jiang Yi gathered his strength and, with a sigh, assisted the warriors in the battle with Ying and Paimon to destroy the Beast Realm hounds.

The warriors praised excitedly and asked everyone to escort the general back to the city to reunite with the army.

At that time, morale will surely be boosted.

And they continue to block the monsters here.

"The Tao of Chang is magnificent, and the gods are eternal!"

This third time meeting the ancient people, everyone fulfilled their wishes and did not break their "reality". They only gave them the inevitable victory and the promise of Inazuma's brightness.

Ying said this to them, and also to himself.

The sacrifices of the people had caused her great pain, but she ignored the way they burned everything and flashed brightly. This was something that should be remembered.

For hundreds of years, she had failed them.

Now, it is time to respond to them and give an explanation to the people who still believe in her.

It's too late to explain what a god of rice wives should do.

This is the true understanding of eternity.

She is a real shadow warrior who once thought that she only needed to bear everything a warrior should bear. However, as the god who manages Inazuma, Inazuma needs someone like Shin more.

Even though she is completely different from Zhen and can never become Zhen, what she has to do should be the same as her.

I can't let down these strong, resilient humans who are worthy of our pride and trust.

I am the Thunder General who is revered by everyone...

"It's time to go to that place." Ying said, looking at Ying Xiangshan.

The scars left by the past will be healed by time in the future, and as for the rest, just treat them as surprises that can be achieved.

Inazuma will have new changes and possibilities...

She looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi together.

It's time to prepare.
