Although the war in the Kanto Theater is important, it is not the only battlefield for the expansion of the dojo.
There is another more dangerous and important battlefield that determines the fate of the world and is quietly breaking out.
This world has never been an ordinary world, but a world of immortals and demons with extraordinary power to destroy heaven and earth.
In the previous wars, it was very clear how great the influence of each extraordinary person on the war was.
The strength to slaughter thousands of people at every turn, the strength to destroy a city, destroy mountains, and cut off rivers are no longer illusions, but are shown in real form.
The reason why such high-level power did not appear in the previous Japanese Warring States Period was because each had certain constraints and took into account the destruction of the mortal world, so they restrained each other and agreed not to take action.
But since the army was dispatched, masters of level 4 and above frequently joined the war. Even the rare fifth-level master who is at the top of the world no longer maintains a detached attitude. Instead, they attacked ordinary soldiers regardless of their status, without any concern for any impact.
This result resulted in a sharp increase in the number of casualties among soldiers and increased damage to civilians, resulting in a sharp decrease in population in all war areas in Japan, severe infrastructure damage, and complete ruins.
Since even those mortals have such power, as high-ranking gods, even if there are no real gods in this Japanese world, and the strongest ones are some demigods, they are still an unstoppable force for mortals.
In Japanese mythology, Takamagahara is the destination of all sentient beings and the residence of the high gods.
Today's Gao Tianyuan no longer has the appearance of the gods in the past, full of incomparable majesty. Instead, everywhere was filled with gunpowder smoke, and corpses full of terrifying power were scattered everywhere. Some of them were humanoid, humanoid, or simply beasts and monsters.
In short, each existence in the myth has turned into a dead body and is placed here. The scene next to it where everything was burned and turned into scorched earth seems to tell that a rather tragic war broke out here.
"Susano'o, stop resisting. You are destined to fail in this fight."
Zhong Yu, who had been filled with infinite majesty all his life, was floating in the air at this moment, exuding infinite noble purple energy, and said to a man opposite him with a firm tone.
On the opposite side, a man dressed as a warrior wearing bamboo armor and a bamboo hat was glaring angrily while holding the famous artifact Tian Cong Yun Sword in his hand.
"The shameless robber not only covets the mundane world of my Japanese world, but also dares to extend his hand into Gaotianyuan and interfere with the sacred authority. Today, either you will die or I will live."
Susano'o's face was full of resentment, and he ignored Zhong Yu's advice at all.
Originally, when Zhong Yu first retreated to Dewa Country, he only spread the word about the dojo and did not actively intervene in Japan's secular struggle for hegemony. Therefore, Susano'o, the supreme god of Japan, did not care.
However, as the dojo unified the three northeastern countries in an instant, and inserted its hands into Kanto and central China, preparing to explore the location of the people in the world, it immediately attracted the attention of these supreme gods.
The position of the world's people in Japan has always been inherited in turn by the blood descendants of Susano'o, Tsukiyomi, and Amaterasu, the three noble gods of Japan. No one else has ever been able to get involved.
Now it is suddenly discovered that such a powerful force has actually challenged the position of the people in the world, and judging from the current situation, it is very likely that it will actually come true.
How could this discovery not frighten these aloof gods, so Susano'o, the most grumpy and fierce among the three noble gods, stood up.
As soon as he appeared on the scene, he personally directed a good show that destroyed the 50,000-strong army in the dojo.
First of all, there was the commander-in-chief of the Shinano Kingdom Front Army. Tomita Yoshinari was secretly influenced by his methods, and he became eager for quick success and made various stupid moves, which caused the strength of the army to be halved.
Then he ordered his subordinates to enshrine his own shrine, sent out the extraordinary power he had cultivated, and then combined with some local powerful men to direct the Iizunayama ambush, completely destroying the power of the dojo in Shinano country.
In the end, if Zhong Yu hadn't sent reinforcements in time, arrived before the forces were completely expelled from Shinano Kingdom, stabilized their pace and gradually advanced, maybe it would still be a question whether Shinano Kingdom could be won.
In addition to the main target of Shinano Country, the other four countries were also more or less obstructed by some local gods or forces under the command of other three noble gods.
Under this series of obstacles, the Five Kingdoms Strategy, which was supposed to be quite smooth, actually encountered several twists and turns. In the end, if it had not been supported by the profound foundation of the dojo, it might have been destroyed.
Ever since, in order to deal with this situation and combat these harassments from Shinto, Zhong Yu personally led a group of elites he carefully cultivated to invade on a large scale, Gao Tianyuan, the residence of the gods and the destination of the soul in Japanese mythology.
This time, Zhong Yu gathered more than half of the high-level elites. At the cost of putting the high-level forces at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield, Zhong Yu finally gathered three fifth-level people, 37 fourth-level people, and more than 200 third-level people to form a joint force. led this crusade.
Although this army is small in number, it is extremely elite.
In comparison, although Gao Tianyuan claims to have 8 million gods, this is just an imaginary number. How could there be so many gods in a small Japanese world? There were actually more gods than humans. It was just an exaggeration.
In fact, the total number of living creatures in the entire Gaotian Plain is only over 100,000.
All of these people are believed in as gods by the ignorant Japanese and are supported by them, but most of them are just ordinary monsters that have not even reached the first level.
There are only more than 30,000 people who can reach the first level or above. Among them, there are only more than 10,000 people with the second level cultivation. As for the third level, there are even less than 5,000 people.
There are no more than a thousand people who have truly reached the fourth level of cultivation that is beyond the ordinary and possesses incredible power.
As for the fifth-level people above it, there are only more than a hundred people. As for the beings above demigods, there are no more than ten people in total. They are extremely rare.
And two of them are the supreme gods of Japan. Izanagi and Izanami, the legendary creations of the world, have long since lived in seclusion in nothingness and have never been born at all.
There are only five remaining demigods still active in the world, including the three noble gods, which is very rare.
This is the power that the entire Japanese world has accumulated over thousands of years, from the creation of the world in mythology to the frequent active presence of gods in the human world, and finally in seclusion in Gaotian Plains, the power accumulated in countless historical processes.
When it comes to this kind of strength, he is also very strong when it comes to being strong, but he is also very weak when it comes to being weak. It depends on how people view and classify him.
