Chapter 1028: 615. Japanese Mythology_2

“Even when Izanami was giving birth to her last child—the Fire God Kagutsuchi, due to the depletion of immortal power, she was burned by the power of this Fire God and soon died from the deteriorating injury.”

“Izanagi, having lost his wife, was deeply grieved. Angrily, he drew his sword and killed the vengeful child Kagutsuchi, who caused his wife’s death, then used Immortal Technique to pursue his wife’s soul to the Underworld.”

“In that Underworld, Izanagi once again saw Izanami. The male immortal begged his wife to return with him to jointly build their unfinished territory.”

“Izanami agreed and happily told her husband that she had met the God King after her death in the Underworld. The God King, remembering the help from the immortals of the past, was willing to allocate a corner of the Underworld to Japan, allowing them to establish the Underworld Country belonging to Japan.”

“However, as the Underworld Country had just been established, many rules were not clear, and the resurrection power was very rudimentary. As a female immortal, Izanami did not want her husband to see her ugly state, so she asked him to walk ahead and never look back until they returned to the real world.”

“Izanagi gladly agreed, but on the way back, he couldn’t help but miss his wife and turned to look, then was terrified.”

“What followed him was not his originally beautiful wife, but a horrifying corpse.”

“The disfigured corpse emitted a foul odor, causing Izanagi to cover his mouth and nose. The maggots formed from death qi wriggled on the corpse, the terrifying image prompted Izanagi to tightly close his eyes.”

“The male immortal, filled with terror, immediately ran, and the female immortal, embarrassed and angry from being seen in her ugly state by her husband, hurriedly chased after him.”

“Eventually, Izanagi ran back to their territory first, blocking the exit of the Underworld with a giant stone, fearing that the terrifying corpse would catch up.”

“Seeing this, Izanami also realized her husband’s ruthlessness, and thus, their love turned to hatred.”

“Izanami vowed to kill a thousand people every day, planning to turn the territory they once built together into a wasteland.”

“Izanagi, however, said he would give birth to 1,500 people every day.”

“From then on, the Underworld Country separated from Japan.”

“Upon his return, Izanagi washed away the death filth of his wife clinging to him with spring water, but the filth combined with his immortal power and gave birth to various deities.”

“Notably, a goddess named Amaterasu was born from his left eye, a goddess named Tsukuyomi from his right eye, and a goddess named Susanoo from his mouth and nose.”

“The cleaned male immortal felt refreshed, and thus, he was fond of the last three daughters, especially upon discovering their potential as immortals.”

“He took various ornaments from himself and distributed them to the three daughters, also dividing the land of Japan for them to govern.”

“Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo, the three goddesses became the Three Nobles, who are now the ancestors of Japan.”

“This does explain the legend about immortals passed down on Japan.”

(The mythology of Little Sun is quite messy, a random adaptation, don’t take it too seriously)

Miss Red Shadow recounted everything in one breath and then remarked this way.

“Damn, what a scumbag, can such a person be an immortal?”

The homebody witch listened to the legend and was equally stunned, unable to help but say that.

“To be honest, indeed.”

Sophia also nodded in agreement with their lady’s viewpoint.

Red Shadow: “…”

As a local Demon Blade of Japan, she didn’t comment much on it. Actually, she found this myth quite shabby too, but it wasn’t something she could openly say.

After cursing the scumbag, Dorothy and Sophia turned around to study this legend of the immortals, attempting to find some useful information from it.

“A corner of the Underworld, Underworld Country?”

The entanglements of those two immortals didn’t catch too much of their attention; instead, they focused on this first.

After all, both witches are quite familiar with the Underworld.

Dorothy had just created an Underworld on Witch’s Night, and Sophia had just returned from the Underworld.

“Sophia, you must have used the passage from this Underworld Country when you were resurrected before, didn’t you feel anything?”

The homebody witch looked at her housemate with some curiosity.

Previously, Sophia found it difficult to resurrect, which is why the Good Sister directed her to this Japan, saying the Underworld of Japan had been specially adjusted, presumably referring to the Underworld Country.

And the Pure White Witch shook her head too.

“When I heard Mistress’s summoning, I activated the resurrection item and was resurrected smoothly without any accidents.”

“Resurrection?”

On the side, the originally silent Demon Sword Princess was surprised to hear this and couldn’t help but speak up.

“Can people really come back to life after death?”

Always expressionless and emotionless like a weapon, Red Shadow slightly widened her eyes in surprise, a bit adorably dumbfounded.

“Well, of course, they can, although it’s a bit expensive, isn’t this common knowledge?”

The two witches were also surprisedly looking at Miss Demon Blade, not understanding why this was worth making a fuss over.

However…

“Earlier in the legend, Japan and the Underworld Country were separated, could it be…”

Dorothy thought of the immortal legend she just heard and suddenly realized something.

“Hmm, one can’t be resurrected on Japan. The art of resurrection is the most superior immortal law, not something an ordinary person can master, otherwise even Mother Superior wouldn’t have…”

Red Shadow nodded, remembering her creator master who spent a lifetime working for revenge, and felt slightly downcast.

“I see, no wonder they call it the Immortal Chaos.”

Finally understanding, Dorothy sighed in relief.

She suddenly felt that the Japanese witches were really unlucky to have these two ancestors, why drag future generations into their romantic mess?

Besides, mythologies sound straightforward but are highly brief and concise narratives, in reality, the era under those two ancestors’ rule must have been much more difficult for the Japanese.

For example, that unfortunate child Kagutsuchi, having such a terrible parent is really miserable.

Thinking of this, Dorothy couldn’t help but shake her head. She initially had some fantasies about the immortals of Japan, but this was it?

The homebody witch suddenly felt a bit uninterested; in her original imagination, immortals should be more transcendent, more free, existing outside the Three Realms and beyond the Five Elements, graceful and carefree like the wind.

But these two Japanese immortals really lowered her image of immortals quite a bit.

But in retrospect, in a large forest, there are all sorts of birds. With so many immortals in the Eastern Universe, not everyone could be remarkable, and since these two couldn’t mix well in the Eastern Universe and fled to the Western Universe, they were originally not that noteworthy.

Oh well, it’s disappointing. Forget about the fate with immortals, just focus on following the teacher to fight gray areas.

With this thought in mind, Dorothy sighed inwardly.

“So, what is the identity of my Aunt Yae? She seems to have a significant status here in Japan.”

The homebody witch looked at her sword master and thus asked.

And Red Shadow was a bit surprised to see her sword master, thinking that her master and Lord Yae were quite close, she didn’t expect her master to know so little.

“Lord Yae is the successor of the Divine Blood. She is the true ruler of Japan, though the official ruler is the Divine Witch of the Amaterasu Shrine. Still, the one who inherits the noble blood of the immortals is more respected.”

“According to the legend of the Three Nobles, Amaterasu Omikami did not leave any offspring, while the Imperial clan of Japan, once surnamed Minamoto, is considered the legitimate lineage of Japan. Lord Yae once was a Princess of Japan, and in recent years, she’s the only Noble Blood Heir with the potential as an immortal, practically half an immortal.”

“It’s just that a century ago, she seemed to fall out with the Genji and thus set up on her own, changing her surname to Yae.”

Dorothy looked at Miss Demon Blade in speechless wonder, originally believing her sword master would be very familiar with Lord Yae, not expecting her to know so little.

The homebody witch was stunned in silence….
