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, Driven by it, it dies early, and its corresponding powers of [Lucky], [Harmony], [Desolate], [Strange], [Qu] and [Straight] are reincarnated at the root of the tree and return with the Jade of the Four Souls.
It is also because of the power of Platycodon and karma that the Shikon no Tama, which Miroku turned into a shrine maiden's filthy accumulation, can be 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 Milo, 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 Juliyuan's life. After helping her stabilize her condition, he would guide her in her subsequent practice.
Now, as Kikyo's reincarnated body has returned with the complete Four Souls Jade, it has fulfilled its destiny. It can be said that the Four Souls Jade, which can be said to symbolize the concept of the way of the shrine maiden, was also transformed into a divine weapon by Milo and given to Kikyo. Stabilize her position.
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.
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 the 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 was very devout in his belief in Milo and resolutely carried out his orders. Within a month, the era trees that Milo had set up in various places were enshrined one after another, and the connection with the era 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 experienced was actually in the eyes of this ancient god. Even her fate was saved from many setbacks with Milo's help.
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 around 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. With a spiritual attitude Would you mind returning to this era?"
"Actually, about the end of the world..." 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 follow me. Let's go and have a look..." As he said 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 Mirai could shout, he was suppressed by Kikyo who appeared later.
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 rotten corpses, and also like mass graves where countless corpses were buried. The bones and corpse water made the soil extremely thick. Rotten and rotten.
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 her era, and in various cities, there were countless gods, monsters, witches, priests and onmyojis. Clean up the evil things derived from those dirty breaths.
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 there is no salvation for the future." Milo answered A Li's question, pointing to the filth at the root of the tree and said: "From the moment the filth started to spread, there is no salvation for the future era. I can only Choose to give people in the future a big dream of life, and after they die in the dream, bring their spirituality back to this era to prepare for the next step forward."
"Wait a minute, what is the dream of life, and what is bringing their spirituality back to this era?" When A Li asked, his whole body fell to the ground as if his strength had been drained: "Is there no way? "After muttering a few words in a low voice, A Li 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, by modifying the causes of the past, you can achieve the results of modifying 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 a dead end. No matter how you avoid it, you will never be able to escape it." A Li said with a full smile. Face looked at Milo expectantly, but received a negative answer: "It's a good idea, but unfortunately I can't do it."
"The cause of the world's destruction 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 Heianjing 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, "Then, you want me do what?"
"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 receive your power." Milo looked down at A Li and said, "Do you understand?"
"I will obey the order of the great forest tree heirs."
