Chapter 244 Amaterasu's Decision
Amaterasu's order spread to every corner of the ruins of Takamagahara.
Those surviving gods, no matter how severe their injuries or how broken their bodies, all converged on Tianyanhu the moment they received the order.
The severed-limbed staggered forward with the help of the attendant gods, the heads of the shattered gods drifted in the ruins, and even those who had only a faint divine soul gathered in the same direction with all their might.
The atmosphere in the shrine deep within the Heavenly Rock Cave was extremely heavy.
Tsukuyomi, Ōkuninushi, Takemikazuchi, Amaterasu, and Omoikane... the five most powerful deities sat in their respective seats, awaiting Amaterasu's next instructions.
Amaterasu sat in the main seat, her golden eyes slowly sweeping over every deity present. Her face showed no weakness, only unquestionable majesty.
"Omoikane," Amaterasu spoke, "tell everyone about the current situation in the world."
Shiken nodded, stood up, raised his hand and waved, and a scene appeared in mid-air, which was the scene of the present world.
In the image, golden clouds of light envelop the headquarters of the Church of Holy Light above Europa.
Within the clouds of light, angels with wings on their backs are manifesting.
They were surrounded by holy light, their wings were as white as snow, and their faces were indistinct, with only a rough outline visible.
"This is the headquarters of the Church of Holy Light in Europe, which is also the headquarters of Christianity."
Shiken pointed at the screen and slowly said, "According to the intelligence we've gathered recently, these beings that are descending are Christian angels."
"Those who descended this time were mainly two-winged and four-winged angels. Their strength, according to the standards of the present world, is about thirty to one hundred times that of the Dao Integration Realm, which is the level of Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal."
"Among them, the strongest four-winged angel should have already reached the level of a true immortal, which is the level of a six-winged angel in Christianity, or a high god in other pantheons."
At this moment, Tsukuyomi frowned: "Are these already this strong, just the first batch of angels to descend?"
As He spoke, He glanced at Amaterasu.
According to His and His sister's previous calculations, after the third wave of spiritual tides erupted, Takamagahara would at most send down gods close to the level of celestial beings, and other pantheons would be in a similar situation.
just now……
Amaterasu remained expressionless, as if she had not noticed Tsukuyomi's gaze.
At this moment, Shiken explained:
"Tsukuyomi, the current situation is completely different from our previous predictions. The being from Great Xia has caused global spiritual energy fluctuations multiple times, making the barriers in the present world not as strong as we imagined."
"Of course, this refers to other places. The barriers in the Great Xia are more solid, and the space is more stable."
Tsukuyomi fell silent upon hearing this.
It's related to that person... that explains it.
Siken continues waving, and the scene changes.
Varanasi, the land of the white elephant.
Along the banks of the Heng River, a shower of petals fell from the sky.
Amidst the rain of flowers, figures with four or eight arms appeared and disappeared, some riding on divine oxen, others sitting cross-legged on lotus platforms.
"The Land of White Elephants, Brahma." Sijian pointed at the screen, "What is descending now are lower-ranking deities from Brahma's mythology, attendants of Shiva, servants of Vishnu, and disciples of Brahma..."
"Their strength is similar to that of the Christian angels, and their number is approximately sixteen."
The scene changes again.
Mount Olympus.
The land between the two rivers.
Nile
……
The scene changed repeatedly.
Each scene represents a sacred site of an ancient civilization, where deities are descending.
Sijian withdrew his hand and looked at the gods present.
"In conclusion, the total number of deities who have descended to the mortal world so far is approximately two hundred."
"The levels of strength range from Earth Immortal to the peak of Celestial Immortal."
A brief silence fell over the temple.
But at that moment, Takemikazuchi suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"They're all a bunch of worthless bastards."
His voice was full of disdain.
"With such meager strength, you dare to descend at this time? Once we establish our divine kingdom on earth and return to our peak, we can crush these ants with a single slap."
"That's right." The male god Tian Te Li next to him nodded and echoed.
Omoikane glanced at them and said calmly, "The problem is, although these gods are not very powerful, there are even more powerful beings behind them."
Takemikazuchi remained silent.
Even the god of heavenly power fell silent.
What Shiken said is true.
Those who have descended now are only the lower-level beings in those pantheons; the true chief gods and god-kings have not yet appeared.
"Omoikane is right."
Amaterasu spoke, "Therefore, we must hurry."
He stood up, walked to the center of the temple, and asked, "How are the preparations for the blood sacrifice going?"
Si Jianshen immediately reported.
"Great God, in the mortal realm, the entire blood sacrifice array has been completed."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and another image appeared in mid-air, an aerial view of the Cherry Blossom Country.
In the image, the entire map of the Cherry Blossom Country is densely covered with red dots.
The points of light varied in size, some bright and dazzling, others dim and faint, but they were all connected by faint lines of energy, forming a huge array covering the entire Sakura Four Islands.

"Omikami, please look."
Shiken pointed at the screen, his voice tinged with barely suppressed excitement, "Over the past few days, through divine decrees, we have set up 3,600 sub-arrays throughout the entire Sakura Kingdom, each of which is connected to the foundation of Takamagahara."
"Now, we only need to wait for the third wave of spiritual tide to reach its peak and stabilize before we can activate the grand formation and sacrifice the entire Sakura Country in one fell swoop, allowing Takamagahara to completely descend into the mortal world."
Si Jianshen paused for a moment, then continued, "At that time, we will be back to our peak condition."
Before the words were finished, a suppressed commotion arose in the temple.
Peak condition.
These four words hold an irresistible attraction for the gods of Takamagahara who are now barely clinging to life.
Ever since that sword cleaved Takamagahara, they have been suffering in these ruins for far too long.
The feeling of losing power, shattering divine bodies, and being eroded by the aura of death day and night made them wish they could escape this place immediately.
And now, we finally see hope.
Amaterasu nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on her face.
"very good."
He stood up, walked to Si Jian Shen's side, looked at the layout of the blood sacrifice array, and his golden eyes gleamed with greed.
"How long does it take to complete the blood sacrifice formation after it's activated?"
After thinking for a moment, Shiken replied, "Great God, after the third wave of spiritual energy subsides, the concentration of spiritual energy in the mortal realm will double again from its current level. Under these circumstances, it is estimated that it will only take six hours."
"Six hours..." Amaterasu murmured, "Too long."
Si Jianshen was taken aback.
"Omikami, you mean...?"
Amaterasu turned around and looked at all the gods present.
"Our time is running out. Issue my order to immediately begin preparations for our arrival."
"Great God, if we prepare to descend immediately, the power of the great formation will not be fully unleashed, and then..." Omoikane's expression changed upon hearing this, and he advised.
"As I said, we don't have much time left." Amaterasu waved her hand to interrupt Omoikane, then turned and looked westward.
That's the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"You should have already seen what happened on the New World. The human race is no longer the weak ants they were a thousand years ago. Their weapons are now enough to threaten us. As for Great Xia, their overall strength is the strongest among the current human race. We must hurry."
Amaterasu's golden eyes gleamed with greed.
Innate spirituality manifested as a human being...
If I could get that, it would all be worth it.
"Big sister."
At that moment, Tsukuyomi suddenly spoke.
"Planning ahead...is that really okay?"
Amaterasu turned her head and looked at Him.
"What are you worried about?"
Tsukuyomi hesitated for a moment.
"That sword..."
"If the Great Xia Dynasty had more than one such being..."
Amaterasu raised her hand, interrupting Him.
"That's why I need to plan ahead. While the third wave of spiritual tide hasn't reached its peak and its effects haven't stabilized, we can create even greater chaos for Great Xia, plunging them into turmoil. This way, our chances of success will be the greatest."
"Now, everyone go and prepare."
After saying that, Amaterasu took a step forward and her figure instantly disappeared into the temple.
