Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence-Chapter 705 - 319 God of Gods
Above the Sky High Plateau, the anomaly that had occurred with the Divine Tree seemed to have no effect on Pingan Capital.
Although located in the same realm of Heaven and Earth, the Sky High Plateau where the gods resided and Pingan Capital below were almost two completely separate worlds.
Time continued to pass within this divided realm, and as it did, the repercussions from the war that took place in Luliang City began to gradually ferment.
The Sky-Obscuring Giant Hand that had emerged from the spatial passage to suppress the projection from Hell was simultaneously present on over a hundred battlefields of Hell’s tributary projections.

That unrivaled influence spread continuously among the common folk.
The people throughout Ying Island were amazed to find that the tributary projections from Hell, which were previously widespread across the entire island, had largely vanished following the great war.
It is known that the Ying Island Divine Pantheon had also slain projections from Hell’s tributaries, but severing one tributary projection could only temporarily hinder the invasion of Hell specters, and it would not be long before a new projection from Hell’s tributaries would descend.
These Hell specters seemed to be unceasing and inexhaustible, which was precisely what made them so terrifying.
Yet this time, the Sky-Obscuring Giant Hand, which had severed the tributary projections from Hell, had truly reduced the frequency at which the tributary projections appeared.

Without widespread projections from Hell’s tributaries, the pathways for Hell specters to invade the mortal realm became increasingly difficult, often limited to small bands of specters that could sustain themselves for only a few days, hardly causing a tangible impact on the various large cities guarding against the invasion of Hell specters.
This news sent waves of elation throughout Ying Island, with many of its citizens believing it was the dawn of a complete quelling of the calamities from Hell.
Amidst the uplifting news that stirred the entire nation of Ying Island, there were also rumors of the Father of All Gods emanating from the Luliang District.
But as soon as these rumors began to spread, the major shrines quickly located and silenced the spreaders, nipping in the bud the influence the rumors about the Father of All Gods could cause.
Lacking accurate sources of information, many people, based on past experiences, credited the entire achievement to the gods of the Sky High Plateau.
Especially Izanagi-no-Mikoto, who had just ascended to take over the governance of the Sky High Plateau from Amaterasu, was regarded as the architect of this great victory.
The reasons for such thinking were simple. During the years that Amaterasu had controlled the Sky High Plateau, even though she was the Lord of the Divinity Path, she could only struggle against the invasion of Ying Island’s supernatural beings.
Having ascended to the throne no more than three years, Izanagi-no-Mikoto was able to create what could be called a miraculous victory, demonstrating the immense strength of Izanagi-no-Mikoto.
Before long, in various parts of Ying Island, a countless number of people established shrines for Izanagi-no-Mikoto, honoring him as the highest-ranked local deity.
As his influence grew, some absurd legends even began to circulate among the common people of Ying Island.
Some claimed that Izanagi and Izanami, as a couple, had birthed many great gods, earning the titles of Father of the Divine System and Mother of the Divine System.
Others believed that Izanagi had the power to lead the gods in repelling the Hell specters, and he should be the true ruler of the Sky High Plateau.
Still others asserted that all deities were born from Izanagi and Izanami, including the revered Amaterasu Omikami. It was insinuated that Izanami had given birth to her, and it was only through Izanagi’s concession that Amaterasu could rise as ruler of the Sky High Plateau.
Despite the absurdity of such claims, they gained acceptance among many citizens, as Izanagi’s prestige was at an unprecedented peak.
Devout followers of Amaterasu who wished to go to the Amaterasu Grand Shrine to seek justice presided over by the Amaterasu Miko found that in most cities, the Amaterasu Grand Shrines had already lost traces of the mikos.
Meanwhile, within Pingan Capital, an abandoned shrine in the midst of a mountain forest was torn down and replaced by a Taoist temple.
Its name: Falling Clouds Temple!
...
Inside the Falling Clouds Temple, Noro Mai, dressed in a light gray Taoist robe, had finished her morning lessons and was walking along the corridors of the Taoist temple.
Around her, there were also many other female practitioners and mikos attired in alternating red and white garments, just like her.
These female practitioners and mikos were in fact mikos from the Ise Grand Shrine, sent to preside over the Amaterasu Grand Shrines throughout Ying Island.
Months ago, Shen Yuan claimed he would teach her how to master everything using human methods.
Just during that night, the Falling Clouds Temple had abruptly risen on a desolate mountain.
Shen Yuan lived within the temple, unconcerned with worldly affairs, and began to teach Noro Mai the way of cultivation.
Although there were cultivation methods in Ying Island, whether it was the Yin-Yang Master or the Samurai, they were at the Spirit Refining Stage crafted by True Beings, belonging to a path of cultivation with an extremely low ceiling.
But after Noro Mai encountered the methods of cultivation taught by Shen Yuan, she was shocked to find this cultivation way so perfect, as if ordained by Heaven and Earth itself.
In this method of cultivation, one could clearly see the path above Spirit Transmutation, and even becoming a powerful expert such as a Great God or even a Main God was no longer a mere wishful thought.
Only now did Noro Mai truly understand what Shen Yuan meant by controlling everything in a human manner.
The gods were able to dominate Ying Island and use humans as tools for extracting belief because the gods possessed overpowering strength that mortals could not defy.
If humans had power equal to, or even greater than that of the gods, could they then use the gods as tools to influence Heaven and Earth?
Such a thought startled Noro Mai, who, despite her idealized view of the gods having crumbled somewhat due to the events of that day, still retained her faith in Amaterasu.
As a miko of Amaterasu, she found it difficult to accept such a possibility.
