In today's Shinto religion, Amaterasu Omikami is the orthodox god king.
Although Izanami is higher in status than Amaterasu, she is not recognized by the belief system, which makes it difficult for her to directly become the supreme god of Takamagahara.
After all, the Japanese people would not agree with the dirty goddess of the underworld defeating Amaterasu and sitting upright in the sky.
"The belief system cannot be changed, and Amaterasu's influence is deeply rooted."
Gu Yun asked: "So you just want to take back Gao Tianyuan from the perspective of the other world?"
"I only want a status and have no interest in the power of faith."
The power of faith is indeed a good thing, and many divine spells need to be cast through it to ensure sufficient power.
But Izanami didn't care.
She is an exceptional deity, and she is a natural deity born from heaven and earth, the same kind as the Immortal Heaven.
Most of the gods such as Amaterasu are second-generation gods, that is, gods created by gods.
God-created gods can be born through blood inheritance, or they can be simple creations, conceived from a certain place.
They are inferior to the first-generation nature gods in terms of life level, and have a high demand for the power of faith.
Without faith, a large part of them would die out.
Amaterasu and other main gods will not die, but in terms of strength, they will definitely be severely damaged and not as good as before.
"Yes, when it comes to faith, Huang Quan is the leader."
Izanami actually has no shortage of faith.
Belief is not simply reciting a certain god in your heart. The power of your faith will be captured by this god.
This requires the gods to take the initiative, which is a very troublesome thing.
Like Izanami, relying on the entire underworld, as long as someone has fear, awe, and fantasy about the afterlife, the power of faith will be born.
The purity of this power of faith is very high, because most people are afraid of death.
Coupled with the extremely terrifying base number, a large amount of faith power will be generated all the time, which can be absorbed by the other world.
The other world exists objectively and does not require the power of belief.
Therefore, these energies are naturally divided up by beings with divine status in the other world.
Divinity is only related to resistance and can be immune to many things.
The function of the godhead is related to God's authority, and it is also a storage container that absorbs and accommodates faith.
Only gods with godhead can absorb and utilize faith.
Beliefs in the other world are distributed according to status.
To put it in philistine terms, Izanami’s monthly income is very high and she belongs to the top few in the entire other world.
Not only that, such as the ecological spirit, the incarnation of nature, and the will of the world, in addition to the fixed salary, they can also get a lot of dividends.
Of course, just like companies in the world.
At Izanami's level, she no longer cares about money.
What really attracted her was that power.
Yes, right.
Ecology, nature, and will can each control huge power over a world.
This is the same as the company's shares.
The more shares, the greater the voice.
The three Amaterasu gods have a high status in Shintoism, but the three of them are not orthodox natural gods.
His strength has reached the ecological level, and his spiritual level has also been raised to 70.
But this kind of spiritual improvement, just like Asakura Ye, is only about strength, not personality.
They are not recognized by the will of the world and can only use spiritual and divine power to leverage the rules and borrow the power of the world.
In contrast, what Izanami wants is more towards what Taoism calls 'harmony'.
I am part of the world, and the rules are my own actions.
Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi represent Japan's belief in the sun and moon respectively, and can be regarded as acquired natural gods.
However, this kind of natural god cannot be regarded as the real ruler of the divine world.
To put it bluntly, this is transgression.
Because of the incorrect name, there are many sun gods and moon gods in the world, causing the belief in the sun and moon to be dispersed into the hands of many gods.
Amaterasu is now the most powerful sun god in the world. It's not that she is so great, it's just that she is the only sun god still alive today.
When the ecological spirit that truly represents the 'sun' has not awakened, Amaterasu can steal the 'power of the sun'.
Throughout the ages, most gods have done the same thing as Amaterasu.
There is no right or wrong of good or bad, it is purely the ecosystem of God.
"The divine world has the largest number of ecological spirits and natural incarnations in all dimensions."
Izanami said: "Most of them have fallen, and their thrones are vacant."
If the era of the divine world is divided, in the years that can be traced, Changshengtian and Jiutian are gods that have been born in the ancient times.
As far as history is concerned, Changshengtian and Jiutian existed long before human civilization began.
Therefore, their involvement with human civilization is not deep.
After them, there are primitive nature gods such as Izanami.
They were born in the most primitive era of human civilization and represent part of the divine world. Among them, the powerful one is called the incarnation of nature, and the weaker one is the ecological spirit.
Later, the primitive nature god ushered in the footsteps of the Hirudo God.
This catastrophe is like the opening of chaos, and a ray of hope blooms from the darkness.
The days of humans being dominated by nature are over.
Civilization began to emerge, and the concepts of state and nation sprung up throughout the world.
It was also from this time that gods such as Amaterasu, with the help of humans, used faith to build national borders and compete for authority in the divine world.
Over the long years, thousands of years, gods and humans coexisted, leaving behind countless glorious epic legends.
"However, it flourished and then declined."
Izanami said: "The kingdoms of gods that have developed to their extremes are colliding with each other in their continuous expansion. God wars break out one after another, and eventually they are completely out of control like a dam bursting."
All the gods were furious. What started as friction turned into a decisive battle between the gods.
"Ragnarok broke out, and all the pantheons were affected."
Japan was slightly better. With the Tang Dynasty as a buffer, it avoided being directly invaded by the Huyi gods and retained its vitality.
"It was also because of the battle of the gods that the protective barrier built by Twelve Days to resist the Hiruko God was destroyed."
"The Hirudo God swarmed into the lower world and brought countless gods to their destined death like devastation."
When Izanami said this, her whole body trembled slightly. She witnessed that scene with her own eyes: "That guy saw the terrifying power of the Hirudo God and became a deserter."
It was also this battle that made many gods who were originally aloof realize their own insignificance.
They gave up the nobility of gods and chose to degenerate into evil gods, dominating and enjoying themselves in the lower world.
"That girl Amaterasu actually did a pretty good job."
Izanami: "The reason why I want to return to Takamagahara is just to clear my name. After all, I am the mother goddess of Shintoism."
