Chapter 31 Suyuan Yumingzunshen

Tokyo, Mount Arana.

In the mountains about 40 kilometers away from the center of Tokyo, several people were walking along the mountain trails accompanied by a tour guide.

"This is Mount Arana. It looks very deep and serene, right? Mount Arana is the largest mountain near Tokyo. The depths of the mountain range are inaccessible. The forests are dense and tall, and the geography is steep. It has buried many adventurous climbers...

"...And it's not just mountaineers who are buried in the mountain - Mount Huangming also has a name, which is 'Buried God Mountain'."

"Buried in the sacred mountain?"

Some of the tourists were puzzled.

"That's right."

The tour guide nodded.

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, on Huangming Mountain, there were many farmland villages at the foot of the mountain. Crowds gathered there, and Shinto beliefs arose. The villagers at that time developed beliefs in gods with different names for this Huangming Mountain.

Worshiping in the mountains at the same time. At most times, there were hundreds of shrines in the Arakami Mountains at the same time, and the incense was extremely strong...

"...But later, with the changes of the times, these villages were abandoned one by one, and the villagers gradually moved away. The Huangming Mountain became a barren mountain, and those Shinto beliefs also declined. The existence of those shrines is only for folklore scholars and Shintoists.

Home still has meaning. Without the support of faith, the gods who were originally worshiped were forgotten, and this mountain became the 'Buried God Mountain' - not only the mountain where the shrine is buried, but also the mountain where the gods are buried..."

The tour guide was talking nonstop, and at this moment, he suddenly felt something floating past the corner of his eye.

——Could it be that the god who was forgotten and buried in this mountain range heard his story and couldn't help but show up?

"How can it be!"

The tour guide himself was amused by this idea.

He put aside his doubts, continued to tell the tourists, and went to visit Huangming Mountain to complete his own work.

…

In the depths of Mount Arauna, a place hidden by dense bushes.

Just like the legendary "Place of Encountering Demons", the red paint on the torii gate has been completely eroded, and even half of it has collapsed. Looking from the outside in, it is so deep that it is difficult to see, and only the half-collapsed main building of the shrine can be seen.

It looks like an entrance to a strange world.

If it were in other parallel time and space where extraordinary power existed, this place would probably become a place where demons and monsters were entrenched, and a place where ghosts and gods wreaked havoc.

But Xi Gu knows very well that in this world where there is no extraordinary power except himself and his descendants, the so-called demons and ghosts are all nonsense.

So he stepped in without any worries.

Arriving at the entrance of the shrine's main building, I stood in front of the stone tablet, which was almost rusted by wind and rain, and looked at the blurry words on it.

Even though the words had been weathered for a long time and had been rusted to the point of being unrecognizable, Xi Gu opened his eyes, which were enough to see the changes in molecules. According to the traces on the stone tablet, he easily restored the record in his mind.

"The royal name of Suyuan is the deity...the place of eight flags, the tree of spring. It protects the residents and brings good weather..."

"I see, is the object of this shrine's belief actually the thousand-year-old tree behind the shrine?"

The description written in ancient Japanese was completely grasped by Xitani, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

For today's Xi Gu, an evolutionary level exceeding level 380 has not only brought his physical strength to a level unimaginable by humans, but also improved his brain's computing power and memory to an unprecedented level.

Although it was the first time he saw this ancient Japanese phrase, it only took him a moment to restore the original meaning to his mind.

While pondering, Xigu came to the back of the shrine and looked at the towering tree where the shrine worshiped.

It is indeed a sacred tree that has been worshiped hundreds of years ago. It looks obviously taller and older than other trees around it.

And probably because its root system has absorbed all the nutrients and water around it, there is an empty space within a few meters next to this big tree, which worshipers call "Suyuan Yumingzunshin", and there are no other trees.

"Suyuan Yumingzunshen..."

Xi Gu came to the ancient tree, looked at its blue-black skin, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He came to Tokyo, Japan, to select the next extraordinary person and see if the new extraordinary person could produce psychic changes like Yang Luo, and through the spiritual transformation, he could awaken extraordinary abilities that he could copy.

However, as he was heading towards Tokyo and passing through this deserted mountain, he suddenly had a sudden hunch that he might discover something.

And the landing point of that premonition was the sacred tree behind the shrine.

"Premonition..."

Xi Gu was thoughtful.

If you look at it from an intuitive, ordinary person's point of view, this kind of sixth sense thing makes no sense.

But from Xi Gu's own perspective, this hunch may not be groundless.

As his evolutionary level continues to increase, his perception becomes more acute, and what he can sense now has been refined to the molecular and even atomic level.

In such a microscopic field, quantum effects are infinitely amplified. The so-called "premonitions" and "whims" may be some future possibilities that emerge from quantum fluctuations if we pursue them downward.

...And that possibility ended up here.

Xi Gu raised his hand and reached out to cover the ancient tree.

There is no special perception. The atoms and molecules that make up it are the same as other trees around it.

But Xi Gu did not give up. The next moment, a drop of bright red blood appeared in his hand.

It is the "blood of evolution" that splits from his own body.

"In all past attempts, the blood of evolution can only work on animals - and humans are the best among them, and can even conjure new extraordinary abilities.

"As for things other than animals - no matter plants, microorganisms, or even non-living and non-living things, they can't absorb my evolutionary blood and become extraordinary beings.

"...However, since I have a sudden impulse for you today - let's give it a try."

Thinking like this, Xi Gu dripped the blood of evolution into the torso of "Suyuan Yuming Zunshen".

Red blood slowly seeped into the blue-black body.

Until it completely disappears.

Still no change.

Xi Gu shook his head.

——It seems that that whim was really just my misunderstanding?

He wants to leave.

But the moment he lifted his steps.

A strong sense of impact came.

"--Huh?!"

A look of shock appeared in Xi Gu's eyes.

——He turned back and looked at the ancient tree.

——He turned around and saw himself.

The former is his identity and his perspective as a human being.

And the latter...

"Xigu" stretched out its branches. In the dense jungle, I felt part of my body moving in the rustling ground.

Right in front of him, "Xi Gu" used the perception of a plant to feel that "himself" was staring at him in shock.

Humanity.

trees.

Two different body sensations are combined together. At this moment, they are both divided and unified, contradictory and harmonious.

"I... turned into this ancient tree - no, it was this ancient tree that, after dripping with the 'blood of evolution', turned into my clone?!"
