Chapter 432: Chapter 52: Land of Monsters In fact, the supernatural creatures themselves maintain the legends of the Mythical Era.
When all mythical creatures have perished, the true End of Dharma Era will arrive, and because they die so thoroughly, it may be impossible to reverse the situation.
They actually count as a resource; using them well can accelerate the revival of mythology.
As Duncan departed, Yuzaoqian kindly escorted him to the edge of the bamboo forest and even stood at the door with a lingering gaze after Duncan had gone far away.
Yama watched thoughtfully from the side.
After the initial anger, she always felt that she had learned some remarkable but seemingly useless knowledge from this fox demon.
They have significant limitations when walking in the mortal realm.
Don’t be fooled by Yuzaoqian’s strength; to truly appear in the mortal world, she must create a human form and if she doesn’t want to be discovered, it’s best to use a method similar to reincarnation. Duncan, although less restricted, also faces certain limitations as he holds the position of an Immortal Heroic Spirit.
Simply put, to deal with the supernatural entities—be they spirits, fairies, gods, or demons—he can easily defeat them, conquer their mountains and temples, and destroy the foundation of their beliefs.
However, Duncan cannot easily attack mortals; he can’t simply pick up a sword and cut down a king.
Although he can forcibly do so, the cost is too great.
The best way to handle it is to secretly influence and manipulate Britain Kingdom, turning the opponent’s country into a colony or having the Secret Magic Sect, the Demon Hunter Brotherhood, or the Wizard Academy take action—using mortals to deal with mortals.
Back when the No.1 Human Form was active in reality, although many entities wanted to stop him, it was limited to mortal-level struggles.
The Root World’s law restricted their interference in the reality dimension.
Duncan’s identity as an Immortal means he has withdrawn, not aged to death, so his restrictions are smaller, but certain matters require him to give respect to the Root World’s law.
If you dare disrespect the Heavenly Dao, sooner or later, you’ll face consequences.
Inside the bamboo forest.
After Duncan’s silhouette faded away, in the pavilion of the Fox Demon Residence, a mature and alluring Three-tailed Fox knelt before Yuzaoqian, softly saying, "Master."
"If we establish a country of monsters, do you still need to reincarnate into the mortal realm?"
At this moment, Yuzaoqian pondered as she gazed at the bright moon in the sky, "My reincarnation into the mortal world was originally to maintain the legends in Fusang."
"In the future, I will choose a king of Fusang to see if the legend of the Great Monster can be upheld."
"Upon reflection now."
"It seems unnecessary."
"Forcing reincarnation into a human form would greatly diminish my mana."
"If I can maintain the legend as the lord of the monster country, it would avoid many troubles."
Upon saying this, the Nine-tailed Fox’s eyes instantly brimmed with ambition.
In the Ancient Era.
There were so many Great Monsters, yet she survived until now; others either perished or escaped into other worlds at the end of myths. The Nine-tailed Fox must have some means, but the difficulty of sustaining life in the Root World is much greater than in other worlds.
Look at the Celtic Pantheon, such a large pantheon couldn’t help but gradually perish.
If not for Duncan’s secret support, the Norse Pantheon’s foundation would also be eradicated bit by bit; in the future, when the rites cease, Norse faith will become merely a legend, maintained only in other kingdoms.
Yuzaoqian sat cross-legged at Duncan’s previous spot, with nine white fox tails swaying in the wind behind her, exuding an unrelenting aura, far from her original delicate and vulnerable appearance.
She indeed was no match for Duncan.
But as the leader of the blood-colored Skull Mark unit and inheritor of Ancient Great Monsters, she was not easily defeated.
In some ways, her power resembles that of Crow Queen-Triss.
If she were to perish,
The last heir of the Nine-tailed Fox lineage in the Root World would cease.
Yuzaoqian sighed and said, "Dispatch someone to secretly watch Queen Himiko."
"And Yama."
"I also need to be aware of the movements of other Great Monsters."
The entities capable of competing with her are fewer.
Currently, the greatest threat is Queen Himiko because she represents a special Heroic Spirit in the form of Ghostification, and she possessed strong spell-casting abilities during her lifetime, leaving a legend in history through Ghost God Witchcraft.
She must secure her position in the monster country.
"Yes."
The Three-tailed Fox respectfully bowed aside, and soon several fox demons vanished into the bamboo forest.
She serves as the ancestor of Fusang Fox Demons here.
Yuzaoqian pondered for a moment, slowly stood up, and suddenly staggered, then embarrassedly rubbed her hip; that man’s blows were indeed harsh; those three whips nearly broke her.
Had it not been an Ancient Great Monster, a single whip might have killed.
Dimension Space.
After handling matters around Fusang Kyoto, Duncan’s first step plan was already accomplished; as for Middle-earth, he had other arrangements which didn’t need much discussion.
The position of the monster country is evidently suitable near the Four Countries or Chuyu Country.
