Since I've Reincarnated as the Villainess' Father, I'll Shower My Wife and Daughter in Love
Chapter 1062 - 1055: Setting Up the Battlefield

After obtaining divine oracles from both the Inari God and Amaterasu Ōmikami, the people at Izumo Taisha removed their obstruction, allowing Chen Yu to enter the true Yomotsu Hirasaka.

The reason it's called the true Yomotsu Hirasaka is that during the Showa period, a sign was erected at a tourist spot here, designating a particular real-world location as the site of Yomotsu Hirasaka.

However, that was merely the imagination of mortals and some necessary concealment. The true Yomotsu Hirasaka has never existed in the mortal world.

Entering through the passage opened by Izumo Taisha, after truly entering Yomotsu Hirasaka, Chen Yu finally witnessed what this renowned place in Japanese mythology truly looked like.

It appeared to be a desolate valley, a barren gorge dotted with black stones as if scorched by fire, filled with the smell of sulfur.

The sky was overcast with thick clouds. Although it should be daytime, there was no sun, making the scene appear quite gloomy.

"What a hellish sight." The head of the Tsuchimikado Family, who had entered alongside Chen Yu, couldn't help but make such a remark.

"Hell? This is far from being hell." Chen Yu disagreed. With such a slightly harsh environment, how could it be called hell?

Ignoring the reaction of the head of the Tsuchimikado Family, Chen Yu's gaze was drawn to the massive Senzui Stone in the middle of Hirasaka Ridge.

From the terrain and the environment surrounding the Senzui Stone, it was clear that the stone lay precisely at the lowest point of the valley of Hirasaka Ridge. Moreover, if the legend was accurate, beneath it lay the path connecting to Yomi.

Bringing the head of the Tsuchimikado Family to the Senzui Stone, observing the thick shimenawa that surrounded it, Chen Yu asked the head of the Tsuchimikado Family, "Head of the Tsuchimikado Family, can you move this Senzui Stone?"

Chen Yu's words left the head of the Tsuchimikado Family somewhat in a panic, as the Senzui Stone, being the boundary set by the Creator God Izanagi to separate the mortal world from Yomi in Japanese mythology, was something absolutely sacrosanct and untouchable to onmyoji like them.

But since Chen Yu had spoken, he still replied, "If it were just an ordinary stone, even such a massive rock, I would have a way to move it. However, the Senzui Stone is blessed with divine power by Izanagi and has been sealed to separate Yomi from the Reed Plains in China. It's not something that a mere onmyoji like me can open."

Hearing the head of the Tsuchimikado Family say this, Chen Yu shook his head, smiling with regret, "Is that so? What a pity, I thought if you could move it, I could save quite a bit of trouble."

The head of the Tsuchimikado Family didn't understand what Chen Yu meant by this and could only lower his head, trembling with fear.

"But it doesn't matter. All preparations are in place. It's just a stone; how can it block my path?" Chen Yu nonchalantly approached the Senzui Stone and, to the head of the Tsuchimikado Family's horror, patted the stone a few times.

Noticing the head of the Tsuchimikado Family's expression, as if the sky were falling, Chen Yu shook his head helplessly. The head of the Tsuchimikado Family's resilience was truly lacking.

If one lacks the courage to challenge the gods, how can they ever step from the realm of mortals into the divine domain?

No deity would gladly welcome the birth of a new god to share their power, so the birth of a new god is always a challenge to the existing deities.

Divine Enthronement is an act that defies the heavens, and breaking through to demigodhood is merely a prelude to such an act.

The head of the Tsuchimikado Family's strength is actually at a level where he could break through to demigodhood, but he has no hope of doing so.

Because he lacks the courage in his heart to challenge the deities and to press forward.

As the head of a prominent family, he's been too pampered and lacks both courage and fearlessness, rendering him hopeless in advancing further.

Unless Chen Yu succeeds in the Divine Enthronement and the Tsuchimikado Family receives sufficient benefits and divine favor, he might then be able to break through with a bit of divine blessing.

But for Chen Yu, why invest in the current head of the Tsuchimikado Family when he could instead enhance the strength of Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu?

After all, Yoshiharu has always been his loyal subordinate from before his legendary breakthrough, helping him. Isn't it far better to reward such loyal subordinates than to uplift such opportunistic fellows?

As for whether Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu is not the head of the Tsuchimikado Family, it is not something Chen Yu needs to be concerned with.

If he couldn't take over a single Tsuchimikado Family even with demigod strength, Chen Yu would deem Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu unworthy of becoming a demigod.

Paying no mind to the internal struggle of the head of the Tsuchimikado Family, Chen Yu directly opened the channel to the Necromantic Space at Yomotsu Hirasaka.

The long-prepared Undead Legion immediately passed through the channel, arriving at Yomotsu Hirasaka, along with Chen Yu's Mage Corps and several ship-girls who had arrived earlier.

"So this is Yomotsu Hirasaka from Japanese mythology? It indeed looks quite extraordinary!" The Constitution emerged from the Necromantic Space channel, looking at the scenery of Yomotsu Hirasaka, expressing a sigh.

Today, The Constitution was dressed like a witch, wearing a deep purple mage robe, with a large violet pointed hat on her head, holding a thick spellbook in her hands. She appeared as if she stepped out from a fantasy story, only lacking a broomstick to fly.

After Chen Yu established the Mage Corps, The Constitution became the leader of Chen Yu's Mage Corps. While the Dragon Witch Ghost Mage Corps is personally commanded by Chen Yu, the four Dragon Transformation Mage Corps and four Mechanical Mage Corps are all under the leadership and command of The Constitution.

This was nothing short of a great blessing for The Constitution, who previously had no substantial work under Chen Yu's command and could only read in the library.

This allowed one of the few divine-level ship-girls under Chen Yu's command to finally showcase her role.

"The Constitution, this is your responsibility now. Let the Mage Corps start setting up the Ritual Altar." Chen Yu looked towards The Constitution and instructed her.

"At your command, honorable Commander!" The Constitution bowed in a mage's salute to Chen Yu before turning to direct the two Mechanical Mage Corps she brought to begin setting up the Ritual Altar.

Although The Constitution currently commands over two thousand mages across Chen Yu's eight Mage Corps, not all of them were needed at the moment. Two Mage Corps were sufficient for the task.

Maeda Toshiie, who had been training the legion in the Necromantic Space, also appeared here this time. As Chen Yu's Corps Commander, though his strength remains at the legendary rank, he can command multiple legions due to his ability to replicate himself.

Maeda Toshiie's arrival was to set up the initial battlefield and prepare for the war at the time of the Divine Enthronement ritual.
