After all a piece of cake can be deadly if you choke on it; thus, for you, that piece of cake becomes meaningless. This is exactly the situation in front of Hades—a dangerously poisonous cake. However, if the poison can be removed, then the cake can be enjoyed whole, bringing immense benefits.
"Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds."
"Yata Mirror."
"Eight Feet Qiong Gouyu."
Hades pondered these thoughts, then raised one hand, revealing a sword that resembled white jade. This sword is more of an ornamental piece, radiating pure white light like jade, entirely carved from it.
"Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds"
"How can this be...?"
Yan Mo widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment, shock evident in her voice. "The Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds has been lost! Gao Tianyuan has searched tirelessly for it but to no avail. Husband, how is it in your possession?"
Hades replied calmly, "As the Evil God, Yamata no Orochi possesses this sword within him."
The Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds, also known as the Kusanagi Sword, has always been found at the tail of Yamata no Orochi. As one of the three major artifacts, the divine power contained within it can even rival that of the fist sword.
"This...?"
Listening to her husband's description, Yan Mo quickly understood after a moment's contemplation.
With a sarcastic smile gracing her lips, she said, "So that's it! The three gods seem intent on surpassing all previous gods—the God of Tianjin, the Seventh Generation of Gods—all three siblings desire to excel!"
"Hehehe"
"Huh"
With a self-deprecating smile, Yan Mo exhaled a wisp of green smoke, saying, "This concubine has indeed been too arrogant. The concubine and Gao Tianyuan are rivals. For so long, both sides have been evenly matched. While the concubine has remained undefeated in Hell, it is now evident that everything was part of the other party's plan."
"Kushi Inada Hime!"
"Lady!"
Hearing Yan Mo's call, Kushi Inada bowed slightly.
Yan Mo regarded Kushi Inada and praised, "Indeed! The most perfect blessing. With your presence, along with the three artifacts that can enhance and bless faith, combined with the gods of Gao Tianyuan and the land of Weiyuan Kingdom, the fusion of these elements can truly elevate the three imperial gods to the level of the God of Tianjin, the Seven Generations of Gods, or even surpass them!"
At this moment, Yan Mo pieced it all together. As a ruler of Hell, she engaged with Gao Tianyuan nearly every day and relied on her strength. However, she faced the king of Yan Mo, who had never suffered against the three imperial guards.
Yan Mo is a very astute god and grasped the situation with just a few clues.
It may seem she holds an invincible position, but the three gods had made all the preparations: Gao Tianyuan, Wei Yuanguo, Kushi Inada, the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds, the Yata Mirror, and the Eight Feet Qiong Gouyu—everything was in place. Even Evil Gods like Yamata no Orochi were guiding them, but they never anticipated that Hades would intervene unexpectedly, shattering their plans.
"Yan Mo, how do we use the artifact of faith?"
Hades toyed with the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds, asking casually. He had not ignored the sword but found it utterly useless. It is merely a common artifact. From this, he could see that the artifact of faith is indeed special.
"Hehehe"
Yan Mo smiled lightly, saying, "Husband, you take things too seriously. Because of that, you haven't realized that the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds, Yata Mirror, and Eight Feet Qiong Gouyu—just by being in Hell, the beliefs provided by all the souls there will be blessed and strengthened. It's that simple."
"But..."
The corner of Yan Mo's mouth curled into a playful smile as she exhaled a wisp of green smoke, holding her tobacco stick. "My husband, after losing the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds, those newly born gods in the human realm will find it hard to survive."
"Hehehe"
Yan Mo's smile was unusually strong.
What does she intend to do next? The Three Gods! It is precisely because the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds resides in the human realm that the gods there can always be born, as the faith is abundant. The owner of the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds has always served as a blessing for the gods! Now that it is lost, the power of faith that prevails in the human realm will diminish immediately.
"God War!"
Kushi Inada Hime analyzed rationally: "From my perspective, a God War will emerge. However, if Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi are willing to hand over the artifacts of faith in their possession to Susanoo and establish Wei Yuanguo in the human realm, such troubles could be averted. But at that point, a stable situation among the three parties—Gao Tianyuan, Wei Yuanguo, and Hell—would arise."
The plan of the three imperial gods requires all three artifacts.
Only then can Yan Mo be compelled to yield, allowing them to seize control of this mythical world, achieving sublimation and transformation, elevating the three imperial gods to Primordial gods, or even surpassing them.
Primordial gods. In this mythical world, while there are still four realms, their names differ. The heavens are known as Gao Tianyuan, the earth as the human realm, and the underworld as Hell. As for the sea realm? Apologies! The sea realm of the mythical world is vast, but the gods inhabiting it are terrifying.
They reside in the sea realm, and the three imperial gods must integrate the powers of heaven, earth, and underworld to launch an assault on the sea realm. Otherwise, they would essentially be courting death. No mythical world can be peaceful; war! Conflict! This is the dominant theme of every mythical world.
"Yan Mo."
"Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds will be entrusted to you."
Hades directly handed the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds to Yan Mo.
"Husband!"
"Are you planning to return to the Underworld?"
In response to Yan Mo's inquiry, Hades nodded slightly, saying, "The Underworld is gradually returning to calm. I will let the god of the underworld assist you. Since this grand world is in such a state, let's enjoy this big cake."
"Hehehe"
"As expected of my husband!"
Yan Mo nestled against Hades, her eyes brimming with admiration. What woman wouldn't cherish an emperor who encompasses the world? Furthermore, Hades is a God King with even greater ambitions! Even the king of Yan Mo, who rules Hell, admires such a God King.
Not to mention, the fusion and collision between souls represent the most essential union for the gods. Hades and Yan Mo, in their moment of soul union, have become an inseparable couple.
