in this world, Bai Ze even possesses the ability to erase history and create history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she greatly loved humans, Shang Bai Ze Huiyin, since arriving in Gensokyo, had used her powers to protect the people of the Village of the Righteous, and also opened a school to teach knowledge and history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, outsiders came to the Village of the Righteous; she would lightly examine their historical traces to prevent the infiltration of utterly wicked individuals or disguised demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Bai Ze, normal history appeared before her eyes as textual symbols, but the residual historical traces on that man gave her an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if she were not examining history, but rather those symbols were watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came to her senses, immortals and gods stood lined up on either side of dragon pillars; amid misty clouds, a robed man with indistinct features sat upon the high seat, his aura thick with the dust of ages, silently observing the transformations of sea and land within the lofty Heavenly Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine figure with white hair and a youthful face flicked his dust whisk and stepped forward: “Your Majesty, the monkey has reached the Southern Heavenly Gate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the figure with half-closed eyes turned toward her, merging with the outsider man from the Village of the Righteous: “Ah, it’s Bai Ze.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Emperor?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t the Mythic Age vanish along with the gods?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In panic, Shang Bai Ze Huiyin tried to avert her gaze from the historical traces, but found dark, eerie symbols had appeared without her noticing, forming similar yet distinct figures surrounding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under their pull, each figure manifested bizarre, surreal scenes—until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sphere of white light descended, burning everything to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huiyin, Huiyin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujiwara no Mokou, seeing Huiyin’s vacant stare, angrily grabbed Su Lin’s collar: “What did you do to Huiyin?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vision gradually returned; Huiyin stared blankly around and realized she was in the temple school’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mokou…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you alright, Huiyin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujiwara no Mokou released Su Lin; seeing Huiyin rise from the floor and reach out her arms, she rushed forward to help—but the next second—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huiyin tilted her head slightly backward, gripped Mokou’s arms tightly, and yanked hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t I tell you to learn proper manners?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Headbutt strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huiyin pressed down on Mokou’s head and arms, forcing her to bow mechanically three times: “Please forgive her—she’s always been like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, we’re all bros.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he said it, Mokou, still dizzy, took another headbutt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve told you a hundred times—girls should act like girls!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The external heater emitted a soft hissing sound, warming the room during the autumn evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please have some tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mokou reluctantly placed two cups of tea down, glaring fiercely at Su Lin—clearly holding him responsible for the two headbutts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affinity decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no choice, Su Lin pulled out his phone and played a two-and-a-half-year-old training video, explaining the Kun Ge meme to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That bitch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Successfully shifted the negative affinity to Kaguya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mokou…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was like a fire extinguisher—immediately calming the furious Fujiwara no Mokou, who sat quietly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My apologies,” Huiyin said with a tone of regret:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In recent years, more outsiders have come than before; for the safety of the Village of the Righteous, I acted rashly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t Gensokyo a hidden place?” Meng Qi warmed his hands around his teacup, curious: “Are they all ordinary people brought here by divine concealment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not entirely,” Huiyin considered, then said: “Ordinary people are few; occasionally, some dangerous individuals appear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I think I left my gas on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin tried to sidestep common RPG plot developments, but Meng Qi grabbed him firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t mind him—he’s not quite right in the head,” Meng Qi gestured for Huiyin to continue: “What happened to those dangerous people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Bai Ze Huiyin forced a smile and replied: “They were dealt with by the shrine maiden and the assisting demons—nothing more than minor disturbances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin, recalling his company’s routine gas leaks and gas explosions, sat back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the specific details… I can’t recall them anymore. Perhaps it was the work of that Demon Sage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No trace remained; even this Bai Ze, who recorded history, had no memory of it—but given Gensokyo’s frequent anomalies, even ordinary people wouldn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to put it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Gensokyo truly has something unusual about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he planned to stay in this world for a while, he didn’t press further to satisfy his curiosity, only chatted casually and asked a few questions about precautions in the Village of the Righteous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the person beside him, who claimed to be weak yet constantly caused commotion, he was now a true ordinary person—he must remain cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Resurrection artifacts cost money… No, I can’t keep thinking about resurrection artifacts.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi slapped his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized his mindset had been affected—he’d grown accustomed to fighting to the death and then resurrecting, absorbing influences he shouldn’t have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huiyin, who had remained upright and formal, looked at Su Lin: “You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard Gensokyo from a parallel world once made contact with this one,” Su Lin interrupted with a smile, hands clasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… yes, that’s correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re also visitors from a parallel world, here to see friends; so if Huiyin-san recognizes me, it’s likely not the same person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shang Bai Ze Huiyin nodded thoughtfully, yet her expression held a hint of strangeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin glanced at the sky outside the window, exchanged a look with Meng Qi, and said: “It’s getting late—we should take our leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huiyin-san, since this is a school, could you lend me some historical books about outside-world myths and legends?” Meng Qi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined he could find divine artifacts like the God-Smiting Whip and the Book of Deification here in Gensokyo, like picking up rare antiques at a flea market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, they showed no divine aura—he’d simply followed some mysterious intuition to find these two items on the shelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The temple school doesn’t have such books,” Huiyin shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re interested in myths and legends, this gentleman would be better off not reading what’s written in those books.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men were bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The gods and immortals passed down across regions—except for a few and later-born local deities—mostly originate from a single entity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huiyin paused, then gave an example: “For instance, the sun god Apollo and other mythological solar deities, such as Japan’s Amaterasu, are the same being.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As human civilizations developed, each created its own culture and versions of stories, yet their true origins all trace back to the same source.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are exceptions, such as Chang’e, imprisoned in the Moon Capital…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if slipping into lecture mode, Shang Bai Ze Huiyin grew increasingly animated—but when she looked for a blackboard and saw the two men, she snapped back to awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My apologies… If you need it, I’ll compile a list of the history I know for you both.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi stared, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the myths here feel so… authentically real?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknown what Huiyin had told Fujiwara no Mokou, the two left the temple school—and Mokou began reluctantly acting as their guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch,” Mokou clicked her tongue. “Huiyin’s exhausted every day—don’t add to her burden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Things are looking bad…” Su Lin narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it a problem with Gensokyo?” Meng Qi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin shook his head: “The Bamboo Group currently holds the upper hand; the Undying Group is at a disadvantage. The big orange is not good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi didn’t understand, and didn’t care to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujiwara no Mokou asked: “When are you returning to Eientei?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re not going back today—we’ll find a hotel or something to stay in,” Su Lin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could there possibly be such a thing?!” Mokou rubbed the spot where she’d been headbutted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll get you a contact among our members—you can stay at his place, just pay him for meals. Outsiders have always done this before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There isn’t any?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, that made sense—this place wasn’t a tourist attraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have capsule hotel devices or something?” Meng Qi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think this is Dragon Ball?” Su Lin was saying, when ahead at the intersection, three people walked toward the Hakurei Shrine to take photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kleen said with a blank expression: “You’re still alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin: “I let my guard down, didn’t dodge—it’s not fair! A young shrine maiden sneaked up on me...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Su Baoguo, you don’t need to explain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remains of the unicorn were placed at the entrance of the Hakurei Shrine; out of respect for the offerings, Reimu Hakurei considered keeping it as a souvenir for visitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve decided,” Lu Mingfei exclaimed excitedly: “We’ll have it at the Hakurei Shrine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin frowned: “What do you mean, have it at the Hakurei Shrine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My wedding with Himekami!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens, the sun’s rising in the west—am I still trapped in Bodhisattva’s Infinite Tsukuyomi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has this awkward guy, who couldn’t even kiss properly, actually grown up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm pleased, but I have to wonder if you're all colluding to swindle my share of the money.\" Su Lin glanced at Meng Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei was not acting on impulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The romantic relationship simulation plan called \"Tokyo Love Story,\" orchestrated by Jiude Mayi and Su Enxi, also culminated at the Meiji Shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now everything has changed; the Meiji Shrine was visited later, but it is no longer suitable for hosting a wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lao Lu’s words, it was a regret—and regrets should vanish into another dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the local host have no objections?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I gave all my money to Reimu, and asked Kaguya to help make arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fantasy Land has no standardized currency, though old Japanese yen bills are somewhat accepted; yet now, Lu, the only one carrying significant wealth, suddenly claimed he had no money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[108] Fantasyma has no fixed currency, but it slightly recognizes old-era Japanese yen banknotes; yet Lu Sang, the only one here carrying substantial wealth, now claimed to have no money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huai Shi asked: \"Why not return to Eternity Manor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, hurry back,\" Mei Hong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, I don’t want to go back,\" Su Lin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shuang also arrived, and with Baoyi Yonglin’s dissecting gaze, it was hard to imagine how many experiments they’d force him to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Su Mou’s vault, besides a pile of green knives and red bills, were collectibles from various worlds, each carrying some degree of transcendental property—it was impossible to fool ordinary people with fading historical projections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Qi?
