Hearing what the Eightfold Divine Son said, Paimeng blurted out without thinking.

"Isn't it a bit redundant to create a puppet to replace me?"

After hearing Paimon's complaints, Yae Shinto paused for a moment before continuing.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the method that Ying, who was pursuing Inazuma's eternity, came up with to achieve 'eternity' himself after that incident."

"The body that will eventually turn to dust is replaced by a puppet, and the spirit escapes into a pure land that only allows the 'self' to exist, completely sealing off the self to stop wear and tear."

Ying, who was listening attentively to the explanation of the Eightfold Divine Son, spoke at the right time.

"It sounds like an effective way to avoid wear and tear, but I always feel like there's something wrong with this method."

Hearing Ying say this, Yae Shen Zi looked at Ying with admiration.

"As expected, you also feel that there is something wrong with this method, right? In my opinion, Ying's behavior is just like a child who has a tantrum and locks himself in the room and ignores others."

"However, unlike the child whose door can be opened easily, I have never been able to find a way to open the 'door' that Shadow has sealed himself off from."

Having said that, Yae Shinto looked at Ying.

"However, the situation has changed now. The first person that the Shadow cared about and pulled into the 'Pure Land of One Heart' that no one else could set foot on has appeared, little guy, you."

"I had hoped that you could bring some good changes to Inazuma, who was about to fall into 'eternal darkness'. As a result, you completely exceeded my expectations and gave me a chance to make Ying change his mind so that both Inazuma and Ying could be saved."

Ying looked at the Eightfold Son of God with some curiosity.

"What do you want me to do? As you said, Thor has trapped himself in the 'Pure Land of One Mind' where only 'self' exists and has been meditating for hundreds of years. I don't think I can change her mind through conversation when we meet again."

"So, I hope that you, the only one who can see that you are hiding in the 'One Heart Pure Land', can defeat the shadow with force in the 'One Heart Pure Land'."

Hearing Ying's question, Yae Shinko gave an answer that shocked Ying.

"'One Heart Pure Land' represents Ying's inner world, which means that defeating her in 'One Heart Pure Land' has a great chance of changing Ying's inner world and making her change."

"Is it just possible?"

After listening to the explanation of Yaezun Shenzi, Ying's eyes flashed and looked at Yaezun Shenzi.

"Let's not talk about the fact that this is all your speculation. The biggest premise of this plan is that I can defeat the God of Thunder in 'i One Heart Pure Land'."

"But the reality is that I am no match for the Thunder God. I was defeated miserably in the previous battle in 'One Heart Pure Land'."

"I know you are no match for the Kage, so for the sake of the plan, after we return to Narukami Island, I will give you some special training against the Kage to help you better deal with the Kage's attacks."

Having said that, Yae Shinko looked at Takagi Akira who had been lying silently behind the others.

"This time when the little guy faces the shadow directly, you don't have to follow him."

In response, Gao Muming did not refute but just nodded in agreement.

"I see."

Paimon objected to Yae Shinto's arrangement.

"I don't agree. Why is it arranged this way? If Takagi Akira is here, even if his barrier fails, he can still take Ying and escape from General Raiden, right?"

Yae Shinko did not directly answer Paimon's question, but looked at Takagi Akira with a very determined look.

"In his current state, he can't open a barrier at all. Even if he takes a good rest and recuperates, I'm afraid he won't be able to open a barrier that can resist the shadow attack like during the ritual in a short period of time."

"Ugh?"

After hearing what Yae Shinto said, Ying and Paimon looked at Gao Muming in surprise, only to find that Gao Muming's face was now extremely pale.

"Akira Takagi, are you okay?"

When Ying hurriedly came to Gao Muming and reached out to support Gao Muming, Paimon's somewhat worried voice reached Gao Muming's ears.

"My condition is not very good. I used all my strength to operate the barrier to escape from the secret realm while withstanding the attacks of the 'Evil God', the scattered soldiers and the doctor. My strength is a little overdrawn."

Feeling that his body was being held up by someone, a unique fragrance belonging to Ying lingered at his nose, and Gao Muming, with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes, grinned.

"Fortunately, they are probably afraid of really killing me, a rare 'material'. I can feel that they are more restrained when attacking, so my current condition is better than when I took two attacks from General Thunder."

"After all, I didn't pass out this time."

Seeing that Gao Muming still had the energy to make a joke, Ying and Paimon both breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Ying who was looking at Gao Muming with heartache, Paimon, who was very concerned about Ying's safety, spoke again.

"We can wait until Gao Muming has recovered before we take action. It takes time to prepare anyway, so a few more days won't hurt, right?"

Yae Shinto rejected Paimon's proposal without even thinking about it.

"No, if he acts with the little guy, the plan will fail. Unlike the little guy that Ying is very interested in, the current General of Thunder will attack him with thunder the moment he sees him who is identified as an 'alien'."

"Unlike you, the 'exceptional', from the perspective of 'eternity', 'foreign objects' are existences that must be eliminated."

As he spoke, Yae Shinko revealed a playful smile.

"You don't think those two slashes during the 'ritual' are the limit of General Raiden, do you?"

"As a god who deeply loves Inazuma, he held back as much as possible when he attacked in order to avoid causing a 'wound' to Narukami Island similar to the 'Muxiang Blade' on Yakumo Island."

"Even so, the second strike was definitely a sure-kill strike in General Raiden's opinion. The reason why the second strike was blocked during the 'ritual' was simply because his sudden outburst was beyond General Raiden's expectations."

"Facing a Kage who is determined to kill, there won't be a second chance like this, so if he goes with you, it won't serve as a safety net, but will become a death warrant."

"More importantly, I have other plans for him."

Hearing what Yae Shinto said, Ying looked at her nervously.

"Other arrangements? Will your arrangements be dangerous to Takagi Akira?"

Seeing Ying so nervous about Gao Muming's reaction, Yae Shinko had a sly smile on her lips.

"Don't worry, little guy, there will be no danger. The arrangement for him is just a move that doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not."

"Idle chess?"

Seeing Ying nervously waiting for his answer, Yae Shenzi suddenly felt like teasing Ying. He waved his hand at Ying and chuckled.

"It's just some minor things, don't worry about it."
