After this incident, Shen Yuan was certain that, just as the Divine Tree had said, the gods indeed could not be trusted, and there were massive issues within the Ying Island Divine Pantheon.
As the Main God ruling over the divine system after Amaterasu entered seclusion, Izanagi was not welcoming to Shen Yuan, the reinforcement that had arrived.
Especially after Noro Mai referred to Shen Yuan as the Father of All Gods, Izanagi and some of the local deities harbored intense hostility towards him.
When Shen Yuan displayed his power and Bull Head made threatening remarks, Izanagi's attitude softened slightly, but he still harbored ill intentions.
Using the Inari God Miketsu as a sacrificial piece, under the coercion of Bull Head, he deliberately killed the Inari God to incite hostility among the other gods towards Shen Yuan and his group.
