"Is this the world where God resides?"
Shinobu Kocho looked at the glowing Torii Gate, her heart involuntarily quickening, and she turned her head again to look at the very front of the stone steps.
Passing through the Torii Gate, one arrives in the world where God resides! The myths and legends are actually true!
She didn't suspect this place to be the result of a man-eating demon's Blood Demon Art. Man-eating demons could never create such a sacred place.
"God really exists in this world!" Shinobu Kocho thought of her previous thoughts with some trepidation, and a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but appear on her forehead.
But the next moment, there was more surprise, her pounding heart seemed to make all her blood burn.
There is God in this world! If there is God, then eradicating all man-eating demons in the world is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Shinobu Kocho came back to her senses, took a deep breath to calm herself as much as possible, and holding Kanawo's hand, continued to walk towards the end of the stone steps.
Pulled by Shinobu Kocho, Kanawo also came back to her senses, and her pink-purple eyes showed bewilderment and curiosity. She understood what was happening before her, but she couldn't make a choice.
Shinobu Kocho cautiously looked left and right. The legendary world of God, and the possibility of seeing God at the end, made her more nervous than ever before.
Whose divine domain is this? Is it a God from Takamagahara? Or a Western God?
She came here after passing through a Torii Gate, but the top of the mountain was not a shrine.
The God here is definitely a true God, not a wild God.
A true God is a Great God in heaven who presides over the operation of heaven and earth, the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, tsunamis and strong winds, thunder and lightning.
Wild Gods are yokai, ghosts, and even heard that in some remote places, people worshiped demons as ghost Gods.
Shinobu Kocho walked step by step closer to the divine hall, cold sweat unknowingly sliding down her cheeks.
As she got closer to the divine hall, her heart beat faster and faster. Under the emotions of anticipation, nervousness, and trepidation, the figure of God came into view.
That was a man about her age, wearing simple yet magnificent clothes, with a seven-colored halo behind him, and golden eyes looking at her with a hint of a smile.
At this instant, a sacred aura enveloped her, and a piece of information appeared in her mind.
"God…"
Mortals do not recognize God, nor do they even understand what kind of existence God is.
But as long as God appears before mortals, mortals will naturally recognize and understand him.
This is equivalent to someone who has never seen a lion, not knowing what it is the first time they see it, but knowing it is a carnivorous predator.
This is the subconscious recognition of a higher-level being by a lower-level being.
"Shinobu Kocho, Kanawo Tsuyuri."
Xia Wei smiled as he looked at the two who were stunned by seeing him, and gently spoke their names.
Shinobu Kocho instantly snapped back to reality, quickly pulled Kanawo, and knelt down, clasping her hands together.
"Greetings, God, I am very sorry for intruding into your divine domain, please forgive me."
Kanawo also quickly followed Shinobu Kocho's actions and clasped her hands together.
Xia Wei waved his hand: "No need to apologize, your coming here is the choice of destiny." Saying this, he carefully examined the two.
The people from the anime now appeared three-dimensionally before him, and it was hard not to be excited. The real Shinobu Kocho and Kanawo were even more beautiful than in the anime.
"The choice of destiny?" Shinobu Kocho quickly looked up upon hearing God's gentle voice, but only a trace of doubt flashed, and she quickly lowered her head, her forehead resting on the back of her hands.
"God, please forgive my rudeness, may I ask you to eliminate the man-eating demons in this world?"
After speaking, Shinobu Kocho's heart beat even faster, and she even became a little short of breath.
God could speak her and Kanawo's names, and he must also know about the man-eating demons, after all, he is a true God, he must know everything.
Xia Wei looked at Shinobu Kocho, who was so nervous, and found it a little amusing. Is this a bit out of character compared to the Shinobu Kocho in his memory?
Hmm… not really, she just dropped the gentle smile she imitated from her older sister, Butterfly Kanae, in front of God, showing her original serious, earnest, and straightforward personality.
"Don't be nervous, stand up first." With a thought from Xia Wei, Shinobu Kocho felt herself being helped up by an irresistible force.
"Let's talk inside my divine hall." Xia Wei turned and walked towards the divine hall.
Shinobu Kocho looked at God's back, took a deep breath, and quickly slapped her cheeks with both hands.
The impact of seeing God was too strong, causing her to become slow in organizing her thoughts.
How could she make a wish to God immediately upon seeing him?
Shinobu Kocho quickly took Kanawo's hand and followed God's footsteps, walking nervously into the pure white divine hall. Her eyes subconsciously scanned around, but quickly retracted her gaze.
The divine hall was spacious but simply furnished. Besides some exquisite decorative items, there was only one table, one chair, and two stools.
On the table were some exquisite pastries and steaming tea.
"Sit down and speak slowly." Xia Wei sat on the chair and said gently, the seven-colored wheel behind him slowly rotating, and a sacred aura naturally emanating from him.
"Yes! God." Shinobu Kocho carefully pulled Kanawo to sit on a stool, took a deep breath as she looked at God, who was only a table's distance away, and her clasped hands were already covered in sweat.
Meeting a true God, it was as if the myths and legends from storybooks had come to life.
Xia Wei smiled as he watched Shinobu Kocho trying to organize her words, feeling a unique emotion.
If he were still an ordinary person and suddenly intruded into a God's divine domain, and was gently invited into the divine hall by God, he would be even more nervous and uneasy than Shinobu Kocho.
"Excuse me, God, could you please tell me your divine title?" Shinobu Kocho, having organized her words, asked respectfully and nervously. She couldn't keep using "God" as an address; although it was a respectful term, it was necessary to address God by his proper divine title.
Xia Wei's expression was a bit subtle; he was stumped, because he had just acquired his divinity and was still a demigod, so he hadn't had time to give himself a divine title.
A divine title is the respectful address given to God by the world. For example, Miketsu-no-kami, Uka-no-Mitama-no-Okami, is known as Inari Okami among the people, and Inari Okami is his divine title, the respectful address for God by mortals.
A God's divine title also symbolizes the domain he presides over.
In this aspect, both Western and Eastern Gods are the same.
Xia Wei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I am not a God from the Takamagahara pantheon, and I have only just set foot on this land."
"If I were to be named according to the naming conventions for Gods in this land, my divine title should be 'destiny fantasy great god'."
Destiny and fantasy embody the divine authority he presides over, and Great God represents a God who rules over other Gods, meaning King of Gods, which corresponds to "Amaterasu Omikami" in the Takamagahara pantheon.
As the inheritor of a multi-level mystical civilization, choosing this divine title was still conservative; if it weren't for being limited by his demigod strength, he would at least include "without beginning or end."
"destiny fantasy great god!" Shinobu Kocho repeated God's voice in her mind upon hearing it.
"Great, Great God?"
Not a true God of Takamagahara, but the supreme God who has just arrived in this land and presides over destiny and fantasy!
