Chapter 205: Resurrection of the Gods
The native stood tall, his eyes cold and arrogant, as if these officials were nothing but insignificant ants in his eyes. He walked to Ling Yuan with graceful steps, stretched out his right hand without hesitation, and gently placed it on Ling Yuan's shoulder. His movements were natural and smooth, just like two close brothers.
"Why are you here?" Ling Yuan frowned slightly, but did not struggle to break free from his motherland's arm. He just raised one eyebrow and asked with a hint of doubt, "Did Madeline send you here?"
"Well... you can say that." The Homelander raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a standard smile, but without any warmth. "After all, that is the legendary god! I regretfully missed the several fierce battles between you and the god before. So this time, no matter what, I have to come and watch the battle in person and appreciate the charm of it." In response to Ling Yuan's question, the Homelander neither admitted nor denied it, but responded in a gentle tone. This attitude made people feel a little elusive.
Ling Yuan stared at the man who suddenly became sincere, and was secretly surprised. You know, it is harder than climbing to the sky to see such a sincere expression on the face of that countryman who is good at disguising and has a dark heart. Everything that happened at this moment was really unexpected!
At this moment, Yuan Zhihui, who was standing nearby, watched Ichiro Watanabe die at the hands of his countrymen, and a strong feeling of hatred surged in his heart. You know, he had long reminded this ignorant guy that he must be careful when meeting Ling Yuan, but unfortunately Ichiro Watanabe ignored his words. Now he has such a tragic ending, which is purely his own fault!
In contrast, Use Ezuka was staring at Ling Yuan with a strange look. She used to think that Ling Yuan was just an ordinary, worthless Chinese, just like Watanabe Ichiro. But now, she suddenly realized that her previous thoughts were completely wrong.
On the surface, it seemed that the Chinese and Ling Yuan were on equal terms, chatting and laughing; but a closer look revealed that the Chinese's attitude towards Ling Yuan was actually more like showing weakness or trying to please him. The respect from the bottom of his heart was revealed without any concealment.
Of course, Use Ezuka had heard about the various legends about the Homelander. She knew very well how terrifying this powerful man was, and how perverse, unruly, hypocritical and cunning his personality was. Being able to force such a person to talk to her properly, one can imagine how unfathomable the power contained in Ling Yuan himself must be! Not only that, even what the Homelander just said inadvertently revealed a shocking truth - it turned out that Ling Yuan was a godslayer who had killed gods!
"Alright!" Ling Yuan waved his hand expressionlessly at his countrymen, then turned his gaze to Yuan Zhihui and said in a serious tone, "Let's talk about what happened in Japan while we're walking on the road. I need to know all the details related to it!"
"This is natural, Mr. Lingyuan, please rest assured!" Yuan Zhihui hurriedly nodded and bowed slightly, making a standard "please" gesture, then turned around and led the way in front with Use Ezuka.
Ling Yuan followed closely behind with Zhong Yan and Suo at a leisurely pace, while the natives deliberately slowed down their pace and lagged behind Ling Yuan by about half a body length. Through such a subtle arrangement of positions, the primary and secondary status of each person in this operation was clearly shown.
In fact, when Homelander learned that he had to help Ling Yuan investigate the eight-headed giant snake in Japan, he was actually full of resistance. After all, his fear of Ling Yuan was deep in his bones and came from the bottom of his heart! How could he willingly run to Ling Yuan and work with him?
But when he hurried here, he found that Ling Yuan didn't seem to want to cause trouble for him, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell a little. But at the same time, he didn't dare to be presumptuous or overstep the mark, because he knew very well that in this investigation, Ling Yuan was the real leader, and he was just a supporting role responsible for assisting Ling Yuan in the investigation and providing him with various support and help at critical moments.
Afterwards, everyone got into the back seat of a luxurious and spacious extended Lincoln sedan. When the car started smoothly and moved slowly forward, Yuan Zhihui carefully picked up a thick folder from the seat beside him and handed it to Ling Yuan respectfully.
"Based on the various clues and evidence we have so far, this incident is very likely related to the legendary 'Yamata no Orochi'. Not only that, rumors about 'the ancient god is about to awaken and revive' have begun to spread in many places." Yuan Zhihui glanced at Use Ezuka who was sitting next to him while speaking. There was a hint of obvious hesitation and concern in his eyes, and his tone sounded particularly serious. "We have tried our best to suppress this news to prevent it from spreading among ordinary people. In addition, for this emergency, we will temporarily name it - 'Resurrection of the Gods'!"
"The gods are resurrecting..." Ling Yuan looked at the document in his hand solemnly, flipped through it quickly, and then casually handed it to the native beside him. The native took the document carefully and read it attentively. At this time, Ling Yuan frowned and said thoughtfully: "Have you ever asked those who spread the news of the resurrection of the ancient gods, how did they know these things? I remember that your Japanese mythology system is Takamagahara, so how can they be sure that things that only exist in legends will become reality?"
Yuan Zhihui shook his head helplessly. In fact, he had already thought about the problems that Ling Yuan could think of countless times before. However, if the matter was really as easy to solve as Ling Yuan said, he would not still be clueless and helpless about this incident.
"We have no way of tracking down these people who spread the news. They appear out of nowhere like ghosts, and when we are about to launch an investigation, they suddenly disappear..." Yuan Zhihui's tone revealed a hint of powerlessness and confusion.
"That's it..."
Ling Yuan frowned. He thought of a possibility. He wanted to spread the gods' deeds to alienate the relationship between humans and gods, but it didn't mean that the gods didn't have this idea. They needed to make people believe in the existence of gods so that they could compete with Ling Yuan in this regard. After all, faith... was still difficult to evaluate...
The reappearance of Japan's Takama-ga-hara is, in a sense, the vanguard of God's counterattack against him, and the purpose is to make ordinary people believe that God really exists.
