While Milo was dealing with the dreams of sentient beings in the Root Age, he also began to plant one Age Tree after another in the Trunk Age.
A shrine maiden standing behind Milo, with a pale purple spiritual jade hanging from her waist, commanded shrine maidens from all over the place to go to the location of the New Era Tree to perform sacrifices and stabilize its energy.
This shrine maiden was the shrine maiden who worshiped Milo under the Tree of Time and was blessed by it. She was also the shrine maiden who connected the roots and trunk of the tree. Her original name was Platycodon grandiflorum. Under the influence of fate, she became associated with the half-demon. Finally, due to various factors,
Pushed by it, he died early, and the corresponding powers of [Lucky], [He], [Desolate], [Strange], [Qu] and [Straight] were reincarnated at the root of the tree, and returned with the Jade of the Four Souls.
It is also because of the power of Platycodon and karma that the Shikon no Jade, which was transformed into a shrine maiden's filthy energy by Mira, was transformed into one of the representative objects of the shrine maiden's way.
At the moment of Kikyo's own death, her [heart] was drawn out by Miroku, and combined with the power of the gods that had begun to revive at that time, part of the concept of the life of the shrine maiden God Kiuriwon was gathered into her body, filling the gap between her and her body.
The vacancy caused by the reincarnation of four souls and two spirits.
Of course, Milo did not intend to let Kikyo directly inherit all the power of Juliwon's life. After helping her stabilize her condition, he guided her in her subsequent practice. Now with Kikyo's reincarnation, she has returned with the complete Four Souls Jade.
, fulfilling the predetermined destiny, the Shikon Jade, which can be said to symbolize the concept of the way of the shrine maiden, was also transformed into a divine weapon by Miroku, and was given to Kikyo to stabilize her personality.
In the age of Tree Trunks, Platycodon's power had surpassed that in life, reaching a level that was also first-rate among the gods.
If placed at the root of the tree, it corresponds to the first level of Bishamonten, which is slightly inferior to the first level of Daikuninushi.
But as Milo mastered the power of the tree root era, concepts such as [fear], [wish], [blessing], [curse], [illness], [禊], etc. were mastered one by one. Milo also mastered these concepts.
Part of his power was shared with Kikyo, allowing him to successfully reach the level of Grand Lord.
In the current era, it is already a first-class existence.
But it is precisely because of the continuous improvement of strength that Kikyo can feel the terror of Milo even more.
In Kikyo's perception, Milo is like the incarnation of the entire world, and its power is everywhere.
Therefore, Platycodon is very devout in his belief in Milo and resolutely implements his orders. Within a month, the age trees that Milo had set up in various places were enshrined one after another, and the connection with the age corresponding to the root of the tree gradually became stable.
Milo carefully sensed the conditions on both sides and asked Kikyo to bring A Li to him.
"Excuse me, can I go back and take a look?"
A Li looked at Milo with a little fear in her eyes. When everything settled, she realized that everything she had experienced was actually in the eyes of this ancient god, and even her fate was with the help of Milo.
, which saved a lot of frustrations.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of those setbacks that the Ali in front of him does not quite meet Milo's requirements in all aspects.
He glanced at the canine half-demon hiding in the dark with a pair of ears exposed, turned back and said to A Li: "You must already know the situation in this world. Once you go back, you will face the end of death. In a spiritual manner,
Would you mind returning to this era?"
"Actually, it's about the end of the world or something..."
Before A Li finished speaking, Milo raised his hand to pull him up and said: "I see, you don't believe in the fact that the world will collapse? Then come with me and see..."
Saying that, Milo pulled A Li up and walked into the void step by step. The half-demon boy hiding in the dark suddenly jumped out and passed directly through the two of them. Before he could shout, he was followed by
Platycodon appeared and suppressed her.
With the help of Milo, Ali had a certain connection with the giant tree in a way similar to climbing a tree. Under the guidance of Milo, he was able to see the location of some of the tree roots.
"What is that!"
A Li looked at the large amount of filthy smell accumulated at the roots of the trees. The smell was like the flesh of rotting corpses, and also like the mass graves where countless corpses were buried. The bones and corpse water made the soil extremely rotten and putrid.
As a miko who inherited Platycodon's four souls and two spirits and was born with powerful spiritual power, Ali could not help but vomit when she saw the filth.
The strong feeling of nausea made her very uncomfortable, but she also saw that standing above the filth was the era she was in, and in various cities, there were countless gods, monsters, witches, priests and onmyojis.
Clean up the evil things derived from those dirty smells.
At the same time, A Li also saw clearly that this kind of cleanup was only a drop in the bucket of pollution to the world itself. Not only could it not eradicate the problem, it could not even suppress the further expansion of the pollution.
"No!" A Li suppressed his nausea and looked at the future. He was surprised to find that except for gods, monsters, witches, priests and onmyojis, the remaining ordinary people were sleeping.
"Why is this happening?"
There was obvious doubt in A Li's eyes.
"Because the future is hopeless."
Milo answered A Li's question, pointed to the filth at the root of the tree and said: "From the moment the filth begins to spread, there will be no salvation for the future era. I can only choose to give the people of the future a great life experience."
Dream, after they die in the dream, they will bring their spirituality back to this era to prepare for the next step forward."
"Wait a minute, what is the big dream of life, and what is bringing their spirituality back to this era?"
When A Li asked, his whole body seemed to have been drained of strength and fell to the ground softly: "Is there no other way?"
After muttering a few words in a low voice, Ali suddenly thought of something and stood up abruptly: "No, I am in the future. Since there is no chance in the future, can't we change from the past?"
"You mean to say that by modifying the causes of the past, you can modify the results of the future?"
"Yes! You are an ancient god, and there are traces of you in the distant past. You must be able to solve the problem from the root, otherwise the future will be death, and it will be impossible to avoid it no matter how you avoid it."
A Li said and looked at Milo expectantly, but received a negative answer: "It's a good idea, but it's a pity that I can't do it."
"The cause of the destruction of the world existed before I was born, and our world is hopeless. The severely polluted origin of the world is the culprit that leads the world to destruction. If we want to survive, we can only go back to the past by tracing back time.
During the Heian-kyo era, there was a passage to other worlds."
After hearing Milo's answer, A Li's body shook slightly, and it took him a while to regain his composure. He looked at Milo and whispered, "So, what do you want me to do?"
"Just as you first came to this era, the specialness of you and Kikyo can further stabilize the bridge between the future and the present. I hope you can dance a Kagura dance dedicated to me in the future, and here I will also let Kikyo
I am always ready to draw on your strength."
Milo looked down at A Li and said, "Do you understand?"
"I will obey the orders of the great forest tree heirs."
