Chapter 250: Sages of the Human Race

The news of Luxi and Tsukuyomi in Japan spread quickly; every country had rumors, and far away in the United States, Kamikawa Mitsu also received the news.

In the news, besides focusing on introducing the matters of Luxi and Tsukuyomi in Akihabara, Miyoshi Souta was mentioned many times, causing a sensation.

Many people envied Miyoshi Souta.

There were even various countries sending personnel to approach Miyoshi Souta; as a friend of the gods, this identity was enough to make the big shots take him seriously. Ribenzheng Prefecture was the same, finding Miyoshi Souta at the first moment, trying to win him over, hoping to use this to make contact with the gods.

It can be said that during the period when Kamikawa Mitsu took Kamikawa Chie to the United States to sightsee, Miyoshi Souta was very popular, and people from all countries were paying attention to him.

Kamikawa Mitsu is a Transcendent, with a fearsome reputation; people worship and are fanatical about him, but he is too powerful, so no one dares to take the initiative to approach him, just like encountering the gods Luxi and Tsukuyomi. If they knew this was Tsukuyomi or Luxi, absolutely no one would dare to step forward to greet them or ask for autographs.

Even recently, there were rumors at the school where Kamikawa Mitsu was located that he was approachable, accepting students' requests for photos and autographs.

The strong always inspire awe.

Kamikawa Mitsu was not surprised by Miyoshi Souta's rise to fame, because it was all within his expectations, deliberately arranged.

The exposure of the Ashiya family descendant identity gave too much fame to Kamikawa Mitsu and Kamikawa Chie. If this continued, the world's attention would all be on them, which would be detrimental to Kamikawa Chie's life. A person living under the spotlight, any small movement would be posted online — that would be terrible, just thinking about it is annoying.

Being a celebrity is not that easy. Ordinary people finding a girlfriend wouldn't attract attention, but when a celebrity finds a girlfriend, it's like discovering a new species — shocking, and receiving much attention.

The power of the fandom is terrifying indeed.

So Kamikawa Mitsu planned to divert some of the world's attention; this way, Kamikawa Chie wouldn't be overly watched, affecting her life.

After finishing reading the news on his phone, Kamikawa Mitsu raised his head and gazed into the distance, his deep eyes carrying a hazy brilliance, as if seeing through all the illusions of the world, gazing far into the distance.

"I wonder how they are doing in those two worlds."

The "they" in his mouth were precisely the twenty-eight constellations of the Ashiya family he had created, now deployed to two worlds whose passages to Earth were about to be opened.

"Nii-san, here's your ice cream."

Kamikawa Chie came running over holding two cones, wearing a sweet and lovely smile, brimming with liveliness.

"Nii-san, can we go to Disney?"

"Wherever you want to go is fine. Speaking of which, I haven't been to Disney yet."

Kamikawa Mitsu withdrew his gaze and set off for Disney with Kamikawa Chie.

……

Myriad Wastes Realm.

This was a vast world, boundless, yet filled with desolation. Eighty percent of the land was barren, not a blade of grass grew, as poor as the Loess Plateau, with gullies crisscrossing. Even the flat ground was full of cracks, the moisture of the earth all evaporated, showing the cracks of a dried-up lakebed.

Only twenty percent of the land could sustain life, with green mountains and clear waters, ancient trees forming forests, encompassing all the beauty of the desolate world, like an oasis in a desert.

These habitable lands were collectively called Life Domains by the beings of this world. Of course, each Life Domain had its own independent name to distinguish it from other Life Domains.

Life Domains, the twenty percent of fertile land in the Myriad Wastes Realm, were not connected as one piece, but like stars in the sky, scattered throughout the Myriad Wastes Realm, piece by piece. Although Life Domains only occupied twenty percent and were scattered like fragments.

But the Myriad Wastes Realm was vast and boundless; even though the Life Domains were piece by piece, each piece was very large, the smallest being the size of Earth.

At this moment.

Ashiya Dou and Ashiya Wei appeared in the Myriad Wastes Realm, walking across the desolate land, heading toward the nearest Life Domain eight thousand li away.

Eight thousand li would be absolutely despairing for ordinary people, but for the two of them, it was merely a short journey. Moreover, the two accompanied each other, chatting, reducing the tedium.

"When we reach a place where beings live, we'll split up to search."

Ashiya Dou spoke leisurely. His face, cold and austere as if carved by a knife, revealed resoluteness and steadiness; if born in ancient times, he would surely be a famous general.

"Alright, if there's any problem, contact me through the shikigami talisman."

Ashiya Wei, whose appearance was dashing and whose eyes were like stars, looking about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, responded. Compared to Ashiya Dou, he had less steadiness and more sharpness, like a treasured sword waiting to be unsheathed — once unsheathed, its edge would chill the four directions.

While speaking, the two had already arrived at this endless mountain forest. Some ancient trees towered into the sky, reaching over a thousand meters; majestic mountain ranges stood one after another, giving a sense of ancient vastness to this Life Domain.

"Hmm?"

Ashiya Dou and the other stopped their steps, sensing movement ahead.

In the distant mountain forest.

Clang!

Blade and sword collided, like mountains crashing together, the sound like thunder and flood. Brilliant light burst forth, like falling stars blooming across the earth.

A battle of powerful beings had erupted here — more precisely, a pursuit.

One could see dozens of people being chased by a group of beings. The pursued people were covered in wounds, dusty and disheveled, their clothes tattered; having fled here, they had clearly suffered greatly.

Among the pursued were many elderly, weak, women, and children, with little fighting ability. Only a few men and women could fight, both middle-aged and young, desperately protecting the elderly, weak, women, and children behind them. Their bodies were stained with much blood, unsure if it was their own or the enemy's.

At this moment.

They were fighting desperately to carve out a path of survival, but alas, there were too many elderly, weak, women, and children, and too few who could fight. The opposing beings were powerful, and they couldn't protect everyone.

People kept being killed by the pursuing beings.

Puh!

A long spear tore through the air, blazing with sunlight-like radiance, splitting the void. A white-haired old man, trying to save a child, was caught off guard by the enemy; the long spear pierced straight through his body, nailing him dead against an ancient pine tree. The great tree trembled, leaves fluttering down in profusion.

Fresh blood flowed down the tree; the sturdy ancient tree was instantly stained with blood, a heart-wrenching sight.

"Elder Li!!"

This group was so furious their eyes nearly split. The children wailed — at an age that should be filled with innocent childhood joy, they had witnessed such cruelty, unforgettable, never to be forgotten for the rest of their lives.

"Run……"

The white-haired old man spat fresh blood, as if unaware he was about to die, using the last trace of his strength to shout this single word, choosing to self-detonate his body.

Blood explosion, wrapped in crimson mist, lingering around that final word, exploded in this place.

The earth shook violently, blood light pierced the heavens, distant mountains trembled.

He was using his self-detonation to slow the enemy's advance, buying time for everyone to escape.

This ancient forest was sprinkled with drops of blood; the setting sun cast its rays down, illuminating the red with desolation and sorrow.

The old man's death and the children's crying stimulated everyone's nerves, making them go berserk, ready to fight to the death.

"Beasts! I'll kill you all!!"

There were young men and women, righteous fury blazing in their hearts, who threw caution to the wind and charged at the pursuers — at the very creature that had killed Elder Li.

However, not everyone had lost their reason; some elders gritted their teeth and held them back.

"You're no match for them. We'll cover the rear — you lot get out of here fast, and tell my lords everything about this place."

Those words had barely fallen.

What greeted them instead was the pursuers' wild, unbridled laughter, as though they had heard some heaven-shaking joke — their grins wild and arrogant.
