Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence-Chapter 703 - 318: Sorrow of the Human Path_2

"In the face of such an external enemy, the Human Clan and demon tribe, who originally despised each other, also started to cooperate, especially in Pingan Capital City, which is the frontline against the Hell specters, where a large number of the monster tribe lives."

"Once Pingan Capital City is attacked, these monster tribe will also join the war to defend the city."

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes. In the Great Xia where the Human Clan and demons are incompatible, it was startling to see them sincerely cooperating in the face of crisis on Ying Island.

However, there was one thing that made Shen Yuan quite curious.

"Ying Island’s Divinity Path is flourishing; how did the monster tribe manage to develop under the watchful eyes of the Sky High Plateau gods?"

Bai Zhao was momentarily stunned; he had never left Luliang District, and his understanding of Ying Island was limited to the gossip of the marketplace, Shen Yuan’s question had touched upon the edge of his knowledge.

It was Noro Mai who had recovered from her earlier shock, who hurriedly responded upon hearing Shen Yuan’s words:

"Above the Human Clan are The gods, and behind the demon tribe are three Return-to-Void Stage Great Demon Kings who are as ancient and powerful as The Ancient One.

"These three Great Demon Kings were born even earlier than the gods of the Sky High Plateau, contemporaries of the powerful expert Amaterasu Omikami.

"After tens of thousands of years, it is said that the strength of the three Great Demon Kings is now on par with the Main God of the Sky High Plateau, and they are the pillars in the fight against the Hell specters."

Noro Mai’s words immediately made Shen Yuan think of those three Return-to-Void Stage Great Demon Kings that had emerged in response to the calling of the demon fate.

In the battle ten thousand years ago against the Eyes of Dusk, the three Great Demons had caused Shen Yuan quite a bit of trouble.

At the end of that great battle, Shen Yuan managed to slay the Ground Spider and suppress the Eyes of Dusk, but he hadn’t noticed the whereabouts of the three Great Demons.

Now it seemed that those three Great Demons had actually survived to the present.

"Interesting!"

A trace of astonishment flashed in Shen Yuan’s eyes.

After suppressing the Eyes of Dusk, Amaterasu took control of the small heavenly realm of Ying Island, and it would have been easy to wipe out the three Great Demons.

That the three Great Demons have survived until now is undoubtedly with Amaterasu’s tacit consent, and it is possible that these three apparent ancient demons have long since pledged allegiance to Amaterasu.

However, according to Noro Mai, it seemed that the Ying Island Divine Pantheon was completely unaware of this.

"The three Great Demons might be the contingency Amaterasu left behind before going into seclusion."

With a bit of curiosity in his heart, Shen Yuan was somewhat eager to meet these three "old friends" whom he had not seen for tens of thousands of years.

"But now is not the time."

Walking along the street, Shen Yuan’s gaze flitted over the complex buildings within Pingan Capital City.

Unquestionably, the most abundant buildings in Pingan Capital were shrines.

Along the way, Shen Yuan had already passed at least ten shrines, large and small, each with hordes of believers lined up to offer worship, which clearly showed the prosperity of the Ying Island Divine System.

The deities worshipped at these shrines were numerous, but almost without exception, they all featured Izanagi and Izanami, the Main Gods of the Ying Island Divine System.

Even some shrines did not worship Amaterasu but instead placed Izanagi and Izanami at the highest status.

Seeing this scene, Noro Mai couldn’t help but show anger, speaking in a low tone:

"How could this be?"

"We miko of the Ise Grand Shrine are ordered by Amaterasu Omikami to build Amaterasu Grand Shrines all over Ying Island to protect the safety of each district, yet we have neglected the inside of Pingan Capital.

"Izanagi and Izanami dare to brazenly steal faith within Pingan Capital!"

Noro Mai was gritting her teeth, wishing she could rush to the Sky High Plateau and confront the gods like Izanagi right now.

But Shen Yuan was indifferent to this. If Izanagi had the audacity to target the core gods of the Amaterasu line, what would mere worship and faith matter?

Instead of the deities worshipped above, Shen Yuan was concerned about something else.

His eyes fell on the ordinary people entering and leaving the shrine; it seemed that Ying Island’s industrial system had stalled due to the continuous attacks of the Hell specters, with most ordinary people’s clothing appearing very old.

Some even wore patched clothes with sallow complexions, yet they were still willing to stand outside the shrine for an entire afternoon, just to worship the gods.

This spectacle was too abnormal for the capital of a country.

Shen Yuan had seen Luliang City and also other cities around Pingan Capital.

These cities were also troubled by Hell specters but had not exhibited such a spectacle as before him now.

Looking up at the sky, Shen Yuan could clearly see that the decline of humanity fate was less than one-third of that of Divinity Path.

Ying Island may primarily follow the Divinity Path, but the actual gods were still too few in number; the masses of the Human Clan outnumber them by hundreds of thousands of times.

With such a ratio, the decline in humanity fate was abnormally severe.

Shen Yuan furrowed his brows and turned to Noro Mai at his side, asking:

"Has Pingan Capital decayed to the point that it cannot maintain normal production capacity?"

Noro Mai looked around and suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Noro Mai spoke in a low voice, with a tremor in her tone:

"Although Pingan Capital City has suffered extensive attacks from Hell specters, except for the catastrophe five years ago, the rest of the battles didn’t really affect the interior of Pingan Capital City.

"Based on the Transcendent system, both industry and food can actually be guaranteed."

"Then why are there so many commoners with old, tattered clothing and malnourished looks on the streets?"

Noro Mai took a deep breath, her voice unconsciously trembling:
