"Sir, please help the country." Tsutomikaze knelt on the ground, his forehead tightly pressed against the floor, and said sincerely.
Beside him, there were two department heads from the Ministry of Environment, several officials from the Cabinet, and several members of the Royal Family who were sent by the Royal Family.
At this time, it had been a few days since the world entered a state of social collapse. Just two days ago, Tsutomikaze, the person behind the scenes who wanted to ask Sei Itō about the future arrangement of the Environment Ministry, came to Akikuruno City. Therefore, Tsutomikaze inevitably found that Akikuruno City was not affected by strong electromagnetic interference.
Although he had made a soul oath to forever be loyal to Ito Seiji, his inner consciousness was still in the original state. He was an S-class master, so Tsuchimiemon Yujin immediately became excited. He turned around and returned to the Ministry of Environment and sent his information to the Imperial Family and the Cabinet. This was the reason why the current situation was like this.
"As long as Sir is willing to help the country, the Imperial Family is willing to betroth Princess Yoshiko to Sir as his wife, and allow Sir's children to inherit the palace and the throne." Immediately afterward, among the kneeling members of the Imperial Family, an old man with black and white hair, who looked about 60 years old, said.
On the side, a girl wearing a light pink kimono with red and white cherry blossom petals on the surface crawled forward a small distance while maintaining a kneeling posture, and her forehead touched the ground again.
Needless to say, this person was the Princess Yoshiko who had the right to inherit the Akikuruno Palace and the throne.
It had to be said that the Imperial Family of Japan had put in a lot of effort. In Japan, since ancient times, only people with the surname of Minamoto and Heiwa could obtain the inheritance of the Imperial Family. It was said that it was to maintain the purity and sanctity of the Imperial Family's bloodline, even if Tokugawa Ieyasu seized power. The fundamental surname was still maintained, because before Tokugawa Ieyasu became famous, he was born with the surname of Heiwa. It was just that he didn't belong to the same family as the surname of Minamoto.
But now, in order to restore Japan to a more or less normal state, the royal family not only gave away the dowry of a prince, but also gave up the right to inherit the throne. Furthermore, he even allowed his son to inherit the inheritance rights that only members of the royal family could have. This was tantamount to going against the ancestral rules. It was said that this was a challenge to the traditional rules that had existed since Amaterasu God allowed the Heian and Minamoto families to establish their own country! It could even be said to be treacherous!
However, Sei Itō understood that although the conditions seemed good, as long as the other party moved down the line of succession, Sei Itō's son might not be able to inherit it even after he died of old age. It was an empty promise, and it was as good as not saying anything at all. It was just for show.
Well, the premise was that he had an heir.
Sei Itō narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
However, this was only on the surface. Secretly, Sei Itō was condensing his spiritual power into a bundle. It was released and sent to the capital.
At this time, in the Imperial Palace of Kyoto, Kyuubi, who was wearing a black kimono with a white pear blossom pattern that never changed, frowned and asked in a displeased tone. "What's the matter?"
"I want to ask about Takama-ga-hara." Sei Itō's voice rang in Kyuubi's mind.
"Didn't you ask about it before?"
"What I want to ask this time is about the relationship between Amaterasu and the Japanese royal family."
"Japanese royal family? The batch that was planted later? "Kyuubi asked in surprise.
"What do you mean by planted later?" Sei Itō asked in surprise.
"You don't know? That's true. Although your cultivation speed is fast enough, your foundation and whatnot are still too far away, "Nine-Tailed Fox mocked in a disdainful tone.
"Do you know the story of Xufu Dongdu?" Before Sei Itō could speak, Kyuubi asked again.
"Yes, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, in order to seek immortality, sent Xufu Dongdu to the East with five hundred children and nearly a thousand guards to search for the Elixir of Immortality."
At this point, Sei Itō suddenly understood something and asked in surprise.
"Are you going to tell me? The Japanese royal family are the descendants of Xufu Dongdu, right? Could it be that the legend of the Japanese being born in the Celestial Empire is true? "
"Yes and no." Kyuubi replied.
"Before Xufu Dongdu, the land called Japan was not called Japan. It was called Zisang. It was an enclave in the hands of the Shifters. Originally, it was inhabited by some weak demons and humans who were captured by them to be used as food. But after a long time, there would always be some Shifters. That's why a hybrid of Shifters and Shifters called Half-Shifters appeared on this land. "
"I understand, I understand. There are times when Shifters can't control themselves." Sei Itō said with a strange smile.
"Hmph." Nine-Tailed snorted in displeasure. However, she was well aware of the character of those lowly little demons, so she couldn't refute.
"But the fate of those Half-Shifters isn't good." Sei Itō, who didn't want to embarrass Kyuubi too much, stopped joking and said in a low voice.
Because just now, he remembered the Half-Shifters he met when he was studying at Eastern University and learned about the Half-Shifters' living conditions from him.
"That's right. Humans fear and hate them because of their demonic bloodline. The demonic beasts also look down on and bully them because of their human bloodline. That's why even though many of those demonic beasts are as strong as ordinary demonic beasts, they still live precarious lives."
Hearing this, Sei Itō faintly knew what Kyuubi was going to say next.
Sure enough, as Sei Itō expected, the content of Kyuubi's story was close to a pain in the ass drama.
Finally, one day, a half-demon who couldn't bear the extreme persecution appeared among the half-demons. Then, he led the half-demons who lived and wandered in Japan, who were still called Zisang, to revolt. They seized a piece of land from the hands of the demon race and built their own clan land.
"But because of their revolt, the Shifters were cruel to the remaining Humans, causing a large number of Humans to die and reducing the population to a certain extent. So under the desire to survive, the remaining Humans asked the Half-Shifters for help. "
"According to the past, the Half-Shifters should be against it." Sei Itō said in a timely manner.
"That's right. But I have to say, you Humans are very complicated. Even the Half-Shifters who were tainted with human bloodline became so strange. "Kyuubi sighed.
"Someone agreed to the Humans' request and rescued those Half-Shifters." Sei Itō said with certainty.
"Indeed. But because of that, the Half-Shifters who were originally united split into two halves, forming a new Tribal Alliance that kept in contact with each other while maintaining a certain distance. "
"Then, as time passed, the Humans who were protected by the Half-Shifters began to grow stronger. At the same time, there were new descendants who inherited the Half-Shifters' bloodline. They continued to travel and act as guardians, protecting the development of the tribe until later, this group of people established their community on this land. "
"At that time, the Central Plains entered the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period and the rise of the Qin Dynasty."
"Then, Xu Fu led five hundred children and a thousand elite soldiers to the east in search of the Elixir of Immortality …" Sei Itō said softly. He continued, "That Xu Fu must not be an ordinary person either. Otherwise, even if his bloodline is very thin, there are bound to be a few successors of the half-demon bloodline who have awakened beyond their generation. A mere 1,000 elite soldiers really won't be enough."
"That's right. Xu Fu was an accomplished alchemist. According to the cultivator's realm, he was around the Core Formation to the Golden Core Stage."
"Rank A to S …" Sei Itō converted Xu Fu's cultivation level to the modern standard. He thought to himself.
"What happened after that?" Sei Itō asked curiously.
"After that, Xu Fu, who had come out to seek refuge, led his soldiers to wage war against the Half-Shifters. After paying the price of three hundred dead elite soldiers and half a hundred wounded soldiers, he conquered the Half-Shifters and became the new master of this land." The Nine-Tailed Beast's words were filled with schadenfreude at the Half-Shifters' misfortune and disdain for Xu Fu's bullying.
However, when he thought about it, it made sense. At that time, in the primitive tribal society, even if there were craftsmen among the humans who were captured as food, they would still die in the hands of the Half-Shifters. Most of them were killed in the revenge of the demon race in the later period. Therefore, the later tribe was basically a primitive society without any inheritance. It was even possible that they were still wearing animal hides and did not know how to rear silkworms and weave mulberry mulberry. Apart from their incredible strength and the inhuman abilities provided by the half-demon bloodline in their bodies, they were completely inferior to the elite soldiers of the Great Qin Empire and Xu Fu in terms of equipment, knowledge, and fighting methods. What else could they be if they were not bullies?
"But in order to appease the natives of this land. After that, Xu Fu married the daughter of the chief of the local tribe, and he had a son. "
"These children are the origin of the Japanese Imperial Family?" Sei Itō came to a realization.
"It's only one of them," the Nine-Tailed Beast said disdainfully.
"Then the origin of the other one is …" Sei Itō asked thoughtfully.
"The descendant of the maiden who followed him here," the Nine-Tailed Beast replied.
"Pacify?" Ito Sei nodded slightly and said.
That was indeed the case. After all, this group of maidens and soldiers followed him across the ocean to this barbarian land. If he only took the daughter of the local resident and didn't give them a status, they would have a reason to be dissatisfied. This would be detrimental to his future rule. Therefore, in order to ensure that this group of soldiers and maidens who followed him here would have something to rely on in the future, taking one of the maidens as his wife and giving birth to children was the best way.
In this way, not only could he appease them, but also in the future, he could prevent the children born with the native residents from becoming too powerful.
"But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with Amaterasu, right?" Sei Itō, who had a general understanding of the origin of the members of the Japanese Imperial Family and other residents, understood that if he really wanted to count, they were actually all part of the same family.
"This has to start from the son of Xu Fu," the Nine-Tailed Beast said.
"After pacifying the natives and their followers, Xu Fu worked hard to govern the land. Internally, he cultivated civil affairs and externally, he conquered the demons. He turned the originally loose tribes into a feudal country and built the first kingdom on this land — Yamatai."
"But because of this, not only did he have problems with his cultivation, his body also became weaker and weaker in the successive expeditions against the demons. In the end, he had no choice but to pass the throne to his descendants."
"And among his descendants, there is one person that you definitely know."
"Is it Mimihu?" When he heard about Yamatai, Sei Itō vaguely knew who was related to Amaterasu.
"It's her. The Shaman of the Sun, "the Nine-Tailed Beast said.
"During her reign, there were two solar eclipses. According to the Koji of Japan, it was Amaterasu who hid in Amanoto. It was during the first solar eclipse that she became the witch of Amaterasu and announced that she was the incarnation of the Sun God in the human world to strengthen her authority. "
"I see. That's why the Japanese Imperial Family said that their ancestor was Amaterasu." Sei Itō finally understood the Japanese Imperial Family's genealogy.
"Don't be too happy too early. After all, the Japanese Imperial Family has been worshipping Amaterasu for more than two thousand years. There is also the existence of Mimihu in the middle. No one knows what was bestowed on her." The Nine-Tailed Beast reminded him with a cold smile.
"Oh right, what is Amaterasu's cultivation level?" Sei Itō nodded and asked.
"I've never seen it, so I don't know."
"Then according to your guess, what cultivation level should she be?" Sei Itō asked again.
"What? You still want to compete with her? "The Nine-Tailed Beast sneered.
"Well, let's be mentally prepared. After all, both of us are now in her territory. If she really makes a move, we have to be prepared, right?" Sei Itō ignored the Nine-Tailed Beast's sarcasm and said bluntly.
"… Golden Immortal, from the time of its existence and the worshipping situation in Japan, it should be around this stage. However, since she is the Sun God, we can't rule out the possibility that she has a higher cultivation level. "The Nine-Tailed Beast was silent for a moment before answering.
"Golden Immortal, that's a lot of pressure." Sei Itō smiled bitterly when he heard the Nine-Tailed Beast.
It couldn't be helped. According to the Taoist scriptures, the Heavenly Immortals and Divine Immortals were the lowest level. The only difference was that one had a divine position and needed to go to the Heavenly Court for a roll call. The other one did not have a divine position and was considered an Itinerant Immortal who lived in the Three Immortal Islands of the East China Sea. Above that was the True Immortal, which was considered a powerful person who could take up an official position among the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Immortals. Above that was the Golden Immortal, which was the peak that most Immortals could reach. It was also the guy who could be a general in the Heavenly Court.
As for the Taiyi and Daluo, that was the fruit of the Dao. If one couldn't comprehend it, one would be a Golden Immortal for the rest of one's life. If one could comprehend it, one would be able to escape from the outside world and be able to avoid calamities and extend one's life. One would be one of the few great masters in the Heavenly Court.
Then, above that was the fruit of the Origin Dao. Without that great opportunity, one could forget about it for a few hundred lifetimes!
Therefore, one could see how powerful a Golden Immortal was.
