Chapter 203 Shrine (Two in One)

"...So why is this rumor believed to be true by so many people?"

When this rumor reached Su Wu's ears, he looked confused.

No, is there something wrong with the brains of people like Heian Jing that leads to intellectual deficiencies?

Gojo Haru and the goddess in the sky gave birth to him... But tell me which goddess it was? He didn't even dare to mention which goddess she was, and she even said she had a nose and eyes.

Can they believe this?

"What can't you believe? Sexy news between humans and demons, humans and gods are always widely circulated." Gojo Haru didn't mind, and even calmed the young man's mind.

"The love story between Qingming Gong's father and the fox demon was also glossed over in a very touching way."

"As for my love with that goddess..." Gojo Haru said this, raising his hands to cover his face with his sleeves.

"From the perspective of others, it is indeed touching enough." Gojo Haru said.

"...are you referring to the story where you love her and she loves you too, but the gods on the high plains do not allow humans to fall in love with gods, threatening her to return to heaven and leaving you alone in the world?" Su The mist-faced and expressionless person summed up the story in a nutshell.

It's so good that Su Wu himself also has a small role in it.

Because the story is that after the goddess returned to Gaotianyuan, she discovered that she was pregnant, and decided to give birth to the child without telling the other gods.

Since this story was originally made up, Su Wu did not explore why as a god, he could not accurately know when he was pregnant.

In short, the child that the goddess in the story later gave birth to was Su Wu, a half-human and half-god who grew up in Gaotianyuan and was no different from a god.

As for why he descended to earth? The person who wrote the story also gave an explanation - the half-human and half-god Su Wu was different from the other gods on Gaotian Plain, which made him doubt himself. Finally, he learned from the other gods that he actually had a identity. The biological father of mankind.

So the Son of God came from Gaotianyuan just to see his biological father.

As for why he went on such a killing spree and gouged out his own father's eyes? It's because the Son of God believed that these people prevented the goddess mother from falling in love with his human father, and regarded the human father as a scumbag who betrayed his mother.

And those who were killed were actually innocent, because the people who prevented Gojo Haru from falling in love with the goddess were actually members of the Gojo family.

But the Son of God Su Wu didn't know, so he directly angered everyone.

In order to appease his anger, the emperor decided to build a shrine to worship him.

Such a fabrication is so reasonable that uninformed people will definitely believe it after hearing it.

But from Su Wu's point of view, as the person involved, he only had one idea - Are Heian Jing and the others master storytellers?

And are there really people who were moved to tears by this story?

The other members of the Gojo family didn't know why, but they all acquiesced to this story. Even if others asked, they would just lower their heads and act incomprehensible.

As a result, the members of the Gojo family were isolated again.

Everyone in Heianjing: Are you the one who brought the Demon King to Heianjing?

"Isn't this great? They fabricated a noble background for you." Gojo Haru said with a smile, looking like a playboy.

It is the tradition of the nobles of Heian Kyo to give celebrities a fictional noble origin.

This seems to explain why they can't compare to each other.

After all, people are born noble, have noble blood, and are born extraordinary.

"...I don't need this kind of story to prove my nobility." Su Wu complained expressionlessly.

Are demigods something noble? How is it different from ordinary mixed-races, especially the goddess of neon...

If he was said to be the child of God over there, he would admit it.

But what did the goddess over there do wrong to deserve to be fabricated into a story about being with Gojo Haru?

"Forget it...it's just a fool's carnival." Su Wu sighed and put the story behind him.

After all, no fool would say to his face that he was a demigod.

"As for what I said, give me the godhead of Yue Du, what are the other people's attitudes?" Su Wu changed the topic.

"...It's not optimistic." Gojo Haru shook his head.

The name of God, one of the three noble sons, cannot be replaced just by replacing it.

"What if I kill this emperor?" the white-haired boy asked.

"...With your words, there will probably be no problem." Gojo Haru smiled.

This sentence is equivalent to killing anyone who disagrees until everyone agrees.

As long as this word gets out, no one will object.

"About half a month later, a completion ceremony will be held. You need to prepare something to put in the shrine for the priests and shrine maidens to worship." Gojo Haru reminded.

"Prepare something? No, just make me a statue, just like the Buddha statue in the temple. I want a statue like me to place in the shrine." The young man with white hair made his request willfully .

There are basically no statues of gods in neon shrines. Most of them enshrine items used by the legendary gods, or talismans with the names of gods written on them.

But as a rabbit, Su Wu was more accustomed to statues of gods.

"Ah, by the way, just like there is a statue of a fox at the entrance of Inari Shrine, there should be a statue at the entrance of my shrine, and it should be carved in the shape of Sora." Su Wu pointed to the big white tiger beside him.

Otherwise, who would know that it is his shrine?

But there is a statue of him in the shrine, and a statue of Sora at the door. Anyone who has seen him knows that this is his shrine.

"Can they do it?" Su Wu asked with a smile.

"I think it's no problem." Gojo Haru said with a smile.

Faced with the outcome of death if they don't do it well, most people will definitely find ways to complete this request.

However... the other party's attitude in making the request is really natural.

Even if Gojo Haru, if he is worshipped as a god, he will not lightly ask people to build a life-size statue for him.

The content of Su Wu's communication with Gojo Haru naturally spread to the ears of those outsiders who were eagerly waiting for the news.

"What? He actually asked for a statue?"

"Even if he is really the son of the goddess, he is too arrogant..."

"As losers, we have no right to oppose the request made by the winner."

A group of people headed by Minister Fujiwara looked at each other, and finally, they went to the emperor with these requests.

The emperor's attitude towards this? No attitude.

Since they asked for it, let's do it. After all, the purpose of building a shrine is to satisfy them.

Since they have already decided to worship the other party as a god, why bother about face?

So, this special shrine was built.

Those responsible for building the shrine are sorcerers, onmyojis, and professionals.

They are responsible for teaching, and sorcerers and onmyojis are responsible for speeding up the progress. After all, they can call on shikigami for help.

Or use spell power and spiritual power.

Or ordinary people may need a year or two to build a building, but under the hands of these people with superpowers, the progress is very fast.

In addition to the statue...

"Make my statue more handsome." Su Wu stood in front of the person in charge of making the statue, showing him all the details of himself.

The details that the other party needed to carve were the spell patterns on his face and the patterns on his clothes.

"I... I know..." The man holding the tools responded timidly.

This carving took nearly half a month.

The two-meter-tall white marble statue has clearly visible hair strands. The eyes are made of Paraiba tourmaline provided by Su Wu. The transparent, pure and enchanting fluorescent blue gemstones were praised as something that can only be found in Takama-ga-hara.

As for the clothes, they were made of paints mixed with gem powder, which was equivalent to painting a set of colorful and luxurious clothes for him like a thangka.

It was very expensive at first glance. In this era, there is no more expensive art than it.

The shrine was also built the day after the statue was made.

After that, there was a series of cumbersome etiquette, welcoming the statue into the shrine and offering food and other sacrifices.

Then, according to Su Wu's request, kneeling down.

This link was stuck for a moment.

Su Wu sat next to his statue, glancing at the offerings in front of him, and staring at them with a smile.

"Three..."

"One."

A row of people knelt down in unison.

The few who didn't react were killed on the spot in front of the temple.

The newly built, white jade-like ground was stained with indelible bloodstains.

"Clean up and continue." The white-haired boy continued to chew the apple he took out of his body and said casually.

He was too lazy to eat the offerings that this group of people placed on the altar of the statue.

It's not that the food is bad.

Ingredients such as wild boar meat, pheasant meat, and abalone are still good.

But the level of cooking... is very average.

The finished product looks like it makes people lose their appetite.

Maro and Kong naturally dragged the body out and threw it outside the shrine, and then returned to continue the ceremony.

The white tiger statues were also placed on the left and right at the entrance of the shrine.

Whether they were angry or unwilling, this group of people restrained their emotions in front of Su Wu and made a humble and pleasing appearance.

So after that, no one would call the name Gojo Kiri.

They called Su Wu——"Moon God." Or "Your Highness."

Afterwards, the shrines that originally belonged to Tsukuyomi would gradually move his statues in according to Su Wu's orders.

The act of seizing the shrine, the godhood, and even the faith did not cause any fluctuations.

The so-called gods on Takamagahara did not react to this.

This disappointed many people who were looking forward to seeing Su Wu being punished by the gods for such a rebellious act.

...

"Has my change not been enough?" Su Wu sat in the empty shrine and talked to himself.

After the ceremony was completed, the group of people dispersed, but as for the priests and shrine maidens, it was said that they still needed to be screened.

Because Su Wu suddenly appeared, no one believed in him, and even if they believed in him, they would not receive any gifts.

Although the shrine maidens would not receive gifts if they believed in other gods.

But other gods at least don't care about anything, just like they don't exist, and Su Wu... is alive and in the human world.

This is not easy to operate.

Grown-up shrine maidens usually don't change their beliefs, and they won't believe in this god today and another god tomorrow.

So a group of people in charge had to find children who were born with spiritual powers, and tried their best to deceive them and make them believe in Su Wu.

Su Wu didn't care about priests and witches, he just thought it was a bit weird.

He has killed so many people, and even planned to turn the three great families into his lackeys, why doesn't the world consciousness... emerge?

Doesn't this count as changing the main plot?

Then what else should be done? Really kill everyone in Heian-kyō, so that those future characters don't even have a chance to be born?

He is not such a murderer.

"And I have taken away the names of gods and shrines... and no gods have come down to PK with me..."

"There shouldn't be a setting for gods in this world, right?" The white-haired boy sat cross-legged on the high platform and murmured in a low voice.

If there really is a god, he would have been angry if he was slapped in the face like this, right?

Gods are not ruthless and desireless things, they also have their own joys and sorrows.

Su Wu put himself in the perspective. If he was slapped in the face like this one day... he would definitely kill the person without saying a word.

The dog raised in the other party's home would be slapped twice by him.

"Tong, is there a setting for gods in this world?" Su Wu asked the system.

He communicated with the system in Mandarin.

[In the background of this world, there are systems such as humans, monsters, gods, ghosts, and cursed spirits. 】The system answered.

The world is not big, and the species of creatures are quite fancy...

"Why didn't the gods come down to fight me?" Su Wu asked with a little regret.

Maybe I can try to kill the gods.

The system did not answer.

"The world consciousness did not appear, and Ryomen Sukuna did not appear. I have done so much, isn't it enough?" Su Wu was shocked and said irritably.

"Also, when can I cross the timeline? The main plot will start a thousand years later, and that will be my stage. The stage a thousand years ago..."

"I have been here for a long time. I won't die of old age directly, right? There is no time to go to a thousand years later..." Su Wu continued to complain.

God knows when the system can take him to a thousand years later.

[Energy is accumulating, please be patient. 】The system's answer revealed a sense of indifference.

"... Tsk." Su Wu got up in disappointment and backed away from the door.

The shrine is not small and is located on a hill. After all, Kyoto is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Besides, building the shrine on a hill may effectively keep it away from ordinary residential areas.

In addition to the room with his statue, there are several other separate houses in the shrine, which are said to be for priests and shrine maidens to live in. In addition, there is a yard.

And... you need to climb a long flight of stairs to go up and down the mountain.

After climbing the steps made of rocks, you can see the red torii gate. There are two marble white tiger statues on both sides of the torii gate, which symbolizes the dividing line between humans and gods.

Then walk for a while before you can see the shrine house.

Su Wu is quite satisfied with this shrine.

But because he is not sure how long he will stay in Heian-kyō, and whether the people in Heian-kyō will do anything to his shrine after he leaves, he decided to... learn the art of barrier.

Set up a barrier around the shrine.
