You Can Bully Ninigi-no-Mikoto, but You Can't Kill Him! The Origin of the Yellow Springs Mark

"Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi..."

In the God Realm, and even in Takamanohara, Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi had always possessed the reputation of being the "number one divine weapon under heaven."

Legend had it that when Susanoo slew the Eight-Headed Serpent, he discovered this divine weapon within the great demon's body.

At the time, Susanoo's Totsuka-no-Tsurugi struck a hard object inside the great demon while cutting it down, leaving a small chip in its blade. Curious, Susanoo cut open its body and discovered this divine weapon.

Because divine artifacts were always accompanied by some unusual cloud phenomenon when they appeared, Susanoo named this divine sword "Kusanagi."

A divine weapon capable of chipping even Totsuka-no-Tsurugi was undoubtedly stronger than Totsuka-no-Tsurugi.

Yet, in the eyes of those who loved swords, they would not abandon the blade they already possessed merely because they saw a better divine weapon. Furthermore, Totsuka-no-Tsurugi was not only Susanoo's natal divine artifact, but had also been personally passed down to him by his father, Izanagi. Its significance to him was even greater.

So, even though Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi was stronger than Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, Susanoo still gave it away for the second time.

Back then, he had given his finest divine weapon to his most beloved elder sister. Who could have known that this "good sister" would ultimately join the Gods in abandoning him...

Now, he no longer wanted this ancient divine weapon to gather dust. Since it was a divine weapon, it ought to be used in battle and slaughter, not enshrined like some ancestor and worshipped day and night!

Susanoo believed giving Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi to Liuyun was worthwhile. As for whether Liuyun could withstand the pressure from the Gods, that depended on himself alone!

Once Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi fell into Liuyun's hands, Amaterasu Omikami would certainly list him as someone she had to kill to preserve her dignity. Only if
