Instead, with no trace of Hercules, he directly named it the Demon Realm, looking quite enthusiastic...

After hearing his explanation, the girl's expression instantly turned somewhat displeased, yet she still stubbornly hummed, "I won't, I'll just call it that. I think it sounds very nice, and this word doesn't have those strange meanings you're talking about at all..."

"Perhaps for now, it indeed doesn't..."

Looking at the primitive tribe still bearing marks from the late Neolithic period, and pondering the current level of cultural development, Gu Mo gave this evaluation.

......

...

Following the direction of the Divine Power's flow, the two quickly traced it back to a waning source of Divine Power.

And along the way, under Gu Mo's strong urging this time, they finally took the time to appreciate the scenery of the journey rather than just directly arriving at the destination by traversing space... The silver-haired, silver-eyed girl, despite being a bit childish, was receptive to others' words.

She began trying to be more patient, flying across the sky with her seemingly "slow" companion, enjoying the various landscapes along the way.

Her mood seemed to improve, and she suddenly realized that the other was right, the scenery along the way was indeed beautiful. Why hadn't she noticed it before?

During this process, Gu Mo gradually furrowed his brows.

The closer they got to the destination, the more peculiar his expression became.

Because as they flew along, collecting and analyzing information like terrain and hydrology, he found it increasingly familiar. Although some details differed, overall it was quite fitting, and many features matched.

"Isn't this the Shinano Region? What a coincidence..."

He muttered, essentially confirming that this was yet another similar mirror world, and coincidentally, he arrived at a fairly familiar geographic area.

After all, in another world, this was the territory adjacent to Mino Country, and he was naturally quite knowledgeable about the geography, having some grasp of regions like Suwa Lake, Mirror Platform Mountain, and Kikyo Plain. Despite the vast time gap, the geologic changes were naturally slow—

Additionally, being versed in geomancy, he could discern the flow of the Earth Vein.

He didn't rely solely on external features for identification, thus he was sure of himself.

"What Shinano Region... huh, we've arrived." Shenqi looked at him with some suspicion, but before Gu Mo could reply, she immediately shifted her attention, giggling as she pointed ahead.

At the end of the land over there was a flat expanse, with vast, contiguous settlements, resembling a large primitive tribe. It appeared populous, with more developed productivity, more concentrated and advanced metal smelting techniques, and iron-wheeled vehicles appearing on the roads.

It seemed a scene of prosperity, with no negative emotions among the people; instead, there was an evident spirit of enthusiasm and upward momentum.

"Hmm, what intense faith..." Miss Shenqi was somewhat surprised, "The gods' control over this land is deeper than I imagined, so why are they preparing to give up so easily..."

Despite the people's strong faith and unity being evident, from the large-scale remote confrontation from the God Power perspective, it appeared the gods here had decisively chosen to concede, surrendering so straightforwardly was rather puzzling.

"No other choice, the gap between the sides is too large..."

A light voice came from the front, accompanying it was a faint divine illusion, revealing a petite young girl who appeared about eleven or twelve years old, with golden shoulder-length hair and a dazed look.

Despite her childlike appearance, it was evident she was the divine spirit ruling this land, and she cautiously studied the two before her.

"The gap is too large?"

Gu Mo rubbed his chin, examining the golden-haired girl while rapidly contemplating, casually saying, "But as I see it, your strengths are evenly matched, the other side holds an advantage, but the gap isn't unbridgeable, it shouldn't be impossible to fight."

"That's true, but the other side isn't just one person..."

The golden-haired girl said plainly, "The gods of Yamato have been continually annexing small kingdoms lately, aiming to unify all kingdoms and establish a unified country called Japan, as they say... It's not only happening here but elsewhere too."

"Even if I could defeat that Kanako, I certainly couldn't overcome all the gods on the other side, so surrendering clearly and swiftly is the best choice."

She was certain of defeat, thus simply surrendering was inevitable.

"The same thing is happening elsewhere too..."

Gu Mo lifted an eyebrow, glancing aside to see the silver-haired, silver-eyed girl idly kicking her feet in the air.

"Alright... by the way, what brings you two here?" The golden-haired girl also sensed the two weren't hostile visitors and became a bit relieved, asking while her expression and tone showed some clear confusion.

One seemed to be a god with a divine aura.

The other was difficult to understand, seemingly an ordinary fleshy human but possessing great mana, accompanying the former casually.

Moreover, judging by their previous conversation, they seemed to have come specifically to find her... So what was the purpose? Various thoughts and doubts flashed in the golden-haired girl's mind as she quietly awaited their answer.

"Oh, actually..."

Gu Mo considered his thoughts, organizing his words.

"We cultivators, when encountering unjust situations, must stand up... This time, we came across an injustice and wanted to help. If you still wish to resist the invasion, you might need a little help. Just like on the other side, fighting alone is insufficient..."

The golden-haired girl paused, taking a moment to understand his meaning.

She fell silent briefly, "What do you want?"

"Naturally, we seek faith..." The young man opposite smiled bashfully, as if embarrassed.

So that was the reason...

The golden-haired girl seemed slightly resigned, but her eyes quickly turned, readily replying, "Of course, that can be arranged..."

After all, she already intended to surrender...

Moreover, she had her own calculations and considerations...

With one unwelcome guest forcibly visiting and trying to seize her place without leaving, inviting another might not necessarily be a bad thing.
