"Supre Taoist? How could you be here?"
Izanami's expression was filled with astonishnt.
Not just Izanami, even the Three Great Demon Kings were wearing faces of disbelief at this mont.
Ever since Amaterasu had returned to the Divine Tree, they had been guarding this place.
Even because of the invisible barrier set by Amaterasu, which repelled all living beings, they could only abandon their demon bodies and lodge their True Spirits within a dium.
Yet, they, who had been guarding this place day and night, had not noticed how Shen Yuan had arrived at the Amaterasu Grand Shrine.
With a smile still on his face, Shen Yuan looked down at Izanami and said casually,
"The reason is quite simple, because this place is my ho."
"Your...ho?"
Izanami was full of confusion, and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox standing below the steps seed to suddenly rember sothing, its pupils shrinking suddenly, revealing an unprecedented loss of composure on its face.
"Is it...you?"
Shen Yuan's gaze fell on the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and he nodded approvingly.
"The little fox does have insight, but even after ten thousand years, there hasn't been much growth in your cultivation."
Shuten-doji spoke urgently, "Yu Zaoqian, do you know him? Who exactly is he?"
Yu Zaoqian hastily bowed her head, her body trembling and she dared not et Shen Yuan's gaze.
In the face of Shuten-doji's confusion, she only managed to respond intermittently,
"Ten thousand years ago... the battle of demons... planting the Divine Tree!"
Shuten-doji and the Great Celestial Hound were both startled, then their faces showed a look of horror.
Just a slight reminder, and the mory of the scenes where Shen Yuan fought with them ten thousand years ago imdiately surfaced in their minds.
The Qi-training cultivator from ten millennia ago, was identical to the Shen Yuan standing before them now.
At that ti, although Shen Yuan's cultivation was weak, he could leverage the great trends of the world with his own strength, rewriting the direction of Ying Island's future.
Especially in the battle with the Eyes of Dusk, he eventually sealed Amaterasu with supre might, creating the ruler of Sky High Plateau who would dominate Ying Island for ten thousand years.
In the hearts of the Three Great Demon Kings, their reverence for Shen Yuan was even greater than that for Amaterasu.
However, Shen Yuan had not appeared in the world for ten thousand years, and there were few in Ying Island who knew of Shen Yuan's existence.
And now, in this Amaterasu Grand Shrine, Shen Yuan had reappeared in the world, and after the initial shock, the faces of the Three Great Demon Kings imdiately showed ecstatic joy.
"We welco your return!"
"Soone as great as you will surely suppress the calamity of Ying Island this ti!"
"The one behind the scenes is Izanami, please, your Majesty, kill her!"
The stark change in the attitude of the Three Great Demon Kings completely stunned Izanami.
Her gaze swept over the wooden hut from which Shen Yuan had erged and the words spoken by the Three Great Demon Kings; doubt in her eyes gradually turning into fear.
"Are you truly the Father of All Gods who planted the Sun and Moon Divine Tree and sealed Amaterasu Omikami?"
Above the do, the sparse green branches slowly hung down from the sky, entwining around Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan did not answer, but the attitude shown by the Divine Tree had already told Izanami the truth.
At this mont, Izanami finally understood why Susa-no-o, whom she had nurtured, was unable to sit upon the Divine Tree Throne and inherit the authority of Sky High Plateau.
What Susa-no-o possessed turned out to be the right to succeed, second only to Amaterasu and the Moon God, able to inherit the authority of Sky High Plateau without any external interference.
But in discussing this right of succession, Izanami had overlooked a crucial factor, naly the will of the creator of the Divine Tree and all of Sky High Plateau.
As the source of the Ying Island Divine System and the God of Gods who sealed Amaterasu, when Shen Yuan did not recognize Susa-no-o's right of succession, even if Izanami pushed Susa-no-o as the first successor, it would be futile.
Just as in the struggle for the imperial throne in the secular world, a prince may have the advantage, but as soon as the emperor denies his right of succession, unless that prince has the power to overturn the existing order, all his efforts will turn out to be in vain.
Clearly, Izanami and Susa-no-o nowadays do not have the qualifications to change the underlying order of the Incense Offering Divinity Path.
The cries of Susa-no-o still echoed within the Amaterasu Grand Shrine, but Izanami was now too preoccupied to care.
Without the recognition of the Divine Tree and Sky High Plateau, even if Susa-no-o possessed potential comparable to Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, he was useless in the current situation.
Susa-no-o had no more opportunities to grow, and for Izanami, he had already lost his value.
Shen Yuan took steps toward Izanami, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
After receiving so key information from the Judge of Life and Death, Shen Yuan chose to return to Ying Island imdiately.
First, he went to several Ghost Cities outside of Pingan Capital, using Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power to solidify ti and secretly executed all Hell specters, then he arrived early at this core location of Sky High Plateau, the Amaterasu Grand Shrine.
To outsiders, the Amaterasu Grand Shrine was an inaccessible sacred site, but for Shen Yuan, there was no obstruction, as if entering and leaving his own ho at will.
Upon entering the Amaterasu Grand Shrine, Shen Yuan noticed the presence of the Three Great Demon Kings, but by leveraging the Gods Purging Divine Power to manipulate the power of the Incense Offering Divinity Path and conceal his presence, the Three Great Demon Kings did not detect Shen Yuan's arrival.
Shen Yuan took this opportunity to return to the little wooden hut beside the Divine Tree Throne and quietly waited for Izanagi and Izanami to co to him.
Indeed, things turned out exactly as Shen Yuan had anticipated, the severance of Yomotsu Hirasaka's connection threw Izanagi and Izanami into disarray, forcing them to act in haste.
Shen Yuan witnessed the birth of Susa-no-o, and just before he was about to inherit the power of Sky High Plateau, he denied his right of succession, completely shattering Izanami's scheming.
