Otsutsuki Tenji kicked Ye Liang aside with one foot, then trapped him beneath a mysterious sealing formation that pressed him helplessly to the ground. "Your body is actually quite good—reached the threshold of the clan—but your skills are too weak!
"Just lie here for now."
With that, he dove straight into Ye Liang's Amenominaka.
Not long after.
Kaguya Otsutsuki was dragged out by Tenji. Her hands and feet were tightly bound, and tears flowed steadily from her eyes. But Tenji showed no tenderness whatsoever. Right before Ye Liang's eyes, he grabbed her hair and yanked her up.
Ye Liang's eyes turned blood-red!
"Let her go!"
"Smack!"
A slap struck his face. Tenji spat on him angrily, "What gives a mountain beast the right to speak?!"
He dragged Kaguya to the center of the village. With a single glare, he paralyzed her in place.
"You wretched woman! If it weren't for Lady Amaterasu sparing your life out of divine mercy, I would have torn you apart limb by limb!" Filled with hatred, he stepped forward and slapped Kaguya again.
Kaguya stood there blankly, completely unresponsive.
Ye Liang, lying on the ground, already had blood seeping from his eyes.
"Hurry and let her go! Otherwise, once I get free, I'll definitely take your damn life!"
"Hahaha! You yourself are already at your last breath! What makes you think you can threaten my life!" Tenji laughed loudly.
At this moment, he raised his hand slightly, and the pale-faced teenage boys hiding outside the village quickly rushed over.
"Lord Tenji, do you have any orders for us?"
They bowed down submissively on the ground.
With a sweeping motion of his arm, he tore open a rift in the sky. "You lot first take Kaguya back to the planet to report. Once I deal with the members of the Yamata clan, naturally I will come find you."
"Yes."
The pale-faced teenagers immediately obeyed and dragged Kaguya—who had completely lost the ability to move—through the spatial portal.
"No!"
Ye Liang could only watch helplessly as Kaguya disappeared without being able to do anything at all.
Right then.
Tenji had handled everything.
He slowly walked over and slapped Ye Liang again. "Punk, weren't you full of yourself a moment ago? What happened? Gone soft already?"
"Crack!"
Another slap landed!
"All these years, I've never even laid a finger on Kaguya—and now *you*, some wild monkey, dared to taint our clan's princess! How dare you even dream of touching her!"
Then he stomped on Ye Liang's wrist with his foot.
"Exactly what this worthless hand deserves!"
Snap!
The bone broke instantly.
Then, Tenji stepped onto Ye Liang's thigh bone, followed by the ribs, collarbone, pelvis… nearly every bone that allowed standing was crushed under his foot.
Ye Liang's eyes welled up with tears.
It wasn't the physical pain that hurt—it was his heart.
"Kaguya was taken away." He mumbled under his breath.
Even if his body had been reduced to nothing more than shattered meat, it still didn't hurt half as bad as losing Kaguya!
And there was their child too!
Just then.
A bolt of thunder suddenly fell from the sky!
A shadowy figure wielding a purple cursed blade appeared in the flash of lightning.
Without saying a word, he stared fixedly at Otsutsuki Tenji.
"Who are you!"
Tenji glared cautiously at the man. Before he could ask further, a chill ran through his body — the man had sliced him clean in half, starting from his head.
"Noisy."
Ignoring Tenji's corpse, the man walked quietly toward Ye Liang. With a slight gesture, he lifted Ye Liang's remains into the air before vanishing.
How much time had passed, Ye Liang didn't know. He awoke lying on a bed.
"Where is this? How did I get here?"
He tried to open his eyes — they felt unbearably heavy. His body was stiff and heavy, as if lead had been poured into his bones.
"Master, you're awake!" A maid exclaimed joyfully, hurrying toward the door. "I'll go call Miss right away!"
After a long while.
Ye Liang sat up.
"So I was saved by someone," he murmured, bitterness flickering across his face. His memories were fuzzy, but they clung to his mind like glue.
Kaguya was gone!
And his son, Xing, as well!
Ye Liang, a man of modern times, couldn't hold back his tears.
"Master Ye Liang!"
Just then, a pretty young lady entered from outside.
He lifted his head.
An oval face, soft brows, and a pair of bright, lively eyes — she was undeniably cute.
"Shaw Naizi!"
He exclaimed in shock.
"I am Izanami." She smiled, offering a gentle explanation.
"Oh, right! You're the Yomi deity, Izanami." Ye Liang recalled his memories from the Yomi World. Bitterness flickered across his face again. "So it was you who saved me?"
Izanami shook her head.
"I wouldn't have the power to do that. It was my younger brother who saved you."
"My brother?"
"His name is Susanoo, the legendary God of Destruction from the Izanami clan." As she spoke, pride filled Izanami's expression.
It was obvious she deeply admired her brother.
"Then thank you for your brother's help," Ye Liang replied. As soon as he finished speaking, he attempted to stand, but his injuries were still fresh. The movement shot pain through his body, and he winced.
Izanami quickly stepped forward to support him.
"You're severely injured. If you don't rest properly, your injuries will leave lingering effects."
Ye Liang pushed her away.
"I have to rescue Kaguya and my son! Leaving them behind on the Otsutsuki Planet, something terrible will definitely happen!"
With another determined push, he collapsed once more.
"In your current condition, who exactly can you save?" Seeing him like this, sorrow welled up in Izanami, and her expression suddenly grew serious.
At the doorway.
The man who saved Ye Liang remained.
Standing under the eaves of the doorway, he sighed. At that moment, he saw Izanami coming out. "He doesn't care about you at all. Still insisting on saving him?"
Izanami's footsteps paused slightly.
"None of your damn business!"
...
Several days later.
With a maid's assistance, Ye Liang stepped out of the room he had been lying in for so long. According to the attendants, this place was called Takamagahara, the residence of the Izanami family — the divine protectors of the world.
The Izanami family had lived here for thousands of years.
After finishing his morning meal, Ye Liang began walking slowly around the courtyard of the house, alone.
The attack from Tenji tore through him so badly he couldn't move at all anymore—he'd need serious rehab to recover.
Inside the facility, a man was cleaning a long sword.
Ye Liang walked over.
This guy was the one who saved him before. And that long sword he held? There was no doubt—it was Ye Liang's very own Chaotic Cursed Blade!
The man glanced at him indifferently.
"You're awake." He wiped down the cursed blade without making any move to hand it back. "This blade is a product of Takamagahara. It's basically returning to its rightful owner."
"Ah."
Ye Liang just nodded numbly. He wasn't focused on the cursed blade in the man's hands—he was focused on the man himself.
[Kanka (Cash Eye)] activated!
With that mental command, the man's dashboard immediately appeared before Ye Liang's eyes.
Susanoo-no-Mikoto!
The First God of Destruction of Takamagahara!
[Jutsu]: 0
Taijutsu: 0
Ninja Tools: 0
[Physical Strength]: 50!
Warning: This character has reached the level of the Third Civilization. Please be extremely cautious, Host!
The name appeared in obsidian-gold!
This was the first time Ye Liang had ever seen an obsidian-gold name appear on the System Dashboard. If this were a game, Susanoo-no-Mikoto would definitely be an ultra-super boss!
"Nice to finally meet you! I'm Ye Liang—honored to make your acquaintance!" He extended his hand.
