What do people live by (3)
The gaze is focused.
I could feel the gazes of the Gogun and Heonwon, as well as the sticky gaze of Seohyul from afar, focused on me.
‘Are you mistaking me for Jinseon?’
“… I think there is some misunderstanding, Sajo. I am not a being like Jinseon.”
But she did not listen to me, and instead bowed her head at my feet.
[Great Being. Please, let us now let go of our sect. We are nothing more than a small sect of the water system. There are not many disciples who truly believe in and follow the legend of the founder. We are beings who have nothing to do with the actions of the founder. Please, if you have suffered something from the founder, please let go of your anger on me alone…!]
I was about to say something when she seemed to be licking my feet.
Flash!
The dull light of the magic flashed, and at that moment, Heonwon ran towards him and kicked Yeonwi’s projection.
Kwaaaaang!
Yeonwi, who was kicked in the stomach by Heonwon, bounced off and hit the pillar of the strange castle.
Heonwon grumbled while glaring at Yeonwi.
“What are you doing now, Your Majesty…!”
[… Heonwon.]
She looked at the offering and shuddered.
[You’re blind. Those shining eyes have completely lost focus…]
Yeonwi gave a short ‘ha’ laugh and bit her lips as if in misery.
[I expected it from the beginning. When I pulled out your eyeball and tried to remove the taint of the great being that was trapped in your soul, I also felt that the taint regenerated your eye and gave you strength. I thought that the spiritual power you later acquired must have been granted by someone.]
She looked at Heonwon with bitter eyes, then looked up at me.
[If it was given by someone, then the person who gave it can take it back. Isn’t that right? Oh God… .]
She staggered to her feet.
[The power I felt when I sealed the spirit of that fool. The presence I felt while chasing after the being called Cheon-ra. And… a certain energy I felt from you at some point. They were all the same.]
Yeonwi, who had been staggering, walked towards me and knelt down again.
[God, I knew it. I had expected it from the very day you brought me, Jeon Myeong-hun, and your followers to that familiar salt mountain.]
thud!
She banged her head in front of me.
[Yet, I trusted you in my heart. Oh, great one. Please, just as you protected us from that wicked master of thunderbolts, you will not bring misfortune this time. But I guess it was your will that we mortals do not dare to guess. Yes, you must have used it because it was necessary. Our ancestors were like that. But, please, this lowly one begs.]
Boom! Boom!
She hit her head as her projection materialized.
I felt it.
It was said that although it was a projection, it was connected to the spirit of the shrine enshrined in the water world and was enduring all this pain.
[Please, catch me last and forgive my descendants!]
Kuung!
At her words, I tried to say something, but I couldn’t find the words and kept my mouth shut.
She felt the presence of [Cheonra] while sealing the spirit of Heonwon before.
And I felt that the presence of the salt mountain of Bongnae Island that I had taken, and the presence of the mantra of cessation of dharma that I had embodied, were the same, and it seemed that he regarded me as an incarnation of the master of Taesan.
That is, from her perspective, I was the cause of Heonwon’s madness that shattered her heart 40,000 years ago, and the source of her life’s misfortune.
I closed my eyes.
In fact, maybe this was the general view of me.
If they weren’t my colleagues who came from Earth and were building up their strength quickly, this would be the normal way they would look at me.
There was a way to clear up the misunderstanding that I was not the truth.
That was all there was to it, to reveal the regression.
But that couldn’t be the case.
So what should we do?
I was at a loss as to what to do in this situation, so I just opened my mouth.
And the one who saved me from that situation was none other than Heonwon.
Kwak!
He grabbed Yeonwi by the collar and lifted him up, growling with an even more furious expression than before.
“I told you, Your Majesty. I asked what you were doing.”
[…What does it matter to you what I do? It doesn’t matter at all, does it?]
“Why doesn’t it matter? Are you offering yourself to that guy now without even paying back the debt you owe me?”
[Debt? What debt? Oh, you mean that I dug out your eyeballs? Ha! I plucked out those eyes that can’t even tell people apart, because I thought they were too much for you. In fact, those eyes that have lost their light suit you better!]
She shouted, laughing at Heonwon.
[I’ll tell you this again and again, you retard. There is no such thing as [Cheon-ra], and I’ve only killed one disciple of the Geumsincheonryeomun with my own hands. And that wasn’t the Cheon-ra you knew, it was just my death sentence. Do you understand?]
“Don’t talk nonsense! You are clearly a monster who ate all your classmates! You took everything from me! Until you pay that debt, I will never let you belong to anyone!”
[…you fool.]
Yeonwi looked down at Heonwon while holding him by the collar.
Somehow, her eyes were filled with a faint longing and a chilling despair.
[You can’t remember the promise we made that day, and you’re only left with emotions, so you’re trying to block me with useless logic… How ugly. How ugly, how ugly, how ugly again, my old lover… If you want to block me, then remember the promise we made that day.]
It is not revealed now because it is in a projection state with brain waves.
But I guessed that if she had a body, she would be crying right now.
Because Yeonwi’s thoughts were so sorrowful at the time.
“Nonsense. I have never made any promises to you other than the political pact we made…!”
[… .]
She did not respond to his words any longer, but emerged from her projection state, penetrating Heonwon’s hand and approaching me.

Yeonwi glanced at Heonwon, then bowed again without kneeling.
[Will the great being please grant my request?]
I opened my mouth with great difficulty.
“… I am not Jinseon. I am just… a person. Just like you…”
[… .]
Yeonwi did not answer.
But I couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy as I heard her inner thoughts in her imagination.
-Are you trying to toy with us until the very end?
And at the same time as that thought, as if something had left him, Yeonwi’s projection collapsed.
Looking at that sight, Heonwon had an angry expression on his face, as if he was not pleased with something.
Plop-
[I told you not to kneel. Up…!]
Kookookookook!
The power of yin and yang and the five elements began to overflow around Heonwon, and it was when I was about to subdue Heonwon.
Kuuung!
The body of Heonwon, who was about to attack, was crushed by a puppet the next moment.
It was [her].
Kugugugu!
[She] was displaying tremendous strength by linking with the black energy coming from [the Black Prince]’s body, and Heonwon was completely subdued under [her].
“You’re really acting out a farce in my world. If you don’t want to be reformed, keep your mouth shut until I get there!”
It was clear that these were the words of a monster whose true nature was only in the mid-stage of a slaughterhouse, but no one present could go against his words.
Heonwon looked at Yeonwi with an inexplicable emotion as he glared at her and was dragged away somewhere by [her]. Yeonwi looked at me for a moment, then lowered her eyes, canceled her projection, and disappeared.
“You too, stop causing trouble. Don’t provoke me. Remember that I have superhuman patience to hold back my anger.”
The monster warned me as well and hurried to take control of the strange castle.
I stood there for a moment, thinking about Yeonwi’s words.
I have done my best to save my people so far.
Always be careful with your words and be careful with your future.
We knew long ago that heaven was not on our side, so we did our best to overcome whatever misfortune befell us.
But, even so, there are those who have such feelings after seeing my actions.
‘Was I too arrogant?’
If you think about it, that’s what it was.
I’ve always cared about the people I wanted to protect, but I’ve never cared about the position of those I wanted to protect.
Even when we had just recently driven the humans out of their homeland.
There may have been those who valued their territory more than their lives… .
I have been thinking about leading everyone with strong power.
But the position of those who are being bullied was not considered at all.
I asked the monster absentmindedly.
“Can I ask you one question?”
“What.”
“I bet there was someone you wanted to protect?”
“…of course.”
“What if the person I was trying to protect had different thoughts than I did… that is, if the person I was trying to protect didn’t actually want to be protected by me? What should I do?”
“… Were you talking about that woman just now?”
He glanced at me for a moment, then seemed to be thinking about something and let out a sigh.
“… That’s a problem I’ve never thought about.”
He seemed to have found a topic of discussion through my question, and his expression became as if he had forgotten his anger and was pondering something.
And then suddenly he asked me a question.
“You taught the martial arts of commoners to my disciple?”
“yes.”
“I have been told that the level of his martial arts is… much higher than that of my old friend and my lover.”
Although it was a short moment, it seemed like Kim Yeon and Gi-myo had a lot of conversations through the story.
“I have a question. I studied the martial arts and the will of the martial artists to perfect my lover’s martial arts and completed the Mysterious Heart Jeon. Then… you, who taught my disciple martial arts at that level, would know.”
He asked a question.
“Even with martial arts, were you able to fight and win against the monks? And if you were able to win, what was the name of that martial arts, and what was the name of that realm?”
I looked into the monster’s eyes and thought back to the past.
‘There were times like that.’
It was a time when I was desperately trying to figure out whether I could challenge a monk with my martial arts skills or not.
A name that was used at that time.
“The Moon-Do-Ip-Cheon-Mu (越道入天武). It is the name of the method by which a commoner can overcome heaven. And the realm where one can use it is called the Moon-Do-Ip-Cheon.”
“Entering heaven… .”
The monster seemed to roll the name over his lips for a moment, then asked again.
“How do I look to your eyes, who have reached that state? Have I reached the level of the moon and the sky that you speak of? I have devoted my entire life to reach that state, even through the method of asceticism, on behalf of those who have entrusted their hearts to me… but I have only read their minds a little. How do I look to you?”
I looked at him for a moment and then told him.
“Half a step. That’s exactly how far I took it.”
“…is it.”
The monster smiled bitterly.
And then, the answer to my question came out of his mouth.
“I asked, ‘What if the hearts of those I wanted to protect are different?’ Look. I have devoted my whole life to it, but I have not entered the heavenly kingdom you speak of. I have not protected the one I wanted to protect, and I have not gained anything I wanted to gain. Isn’t that life, isn’t that destiny?”
He continued, glaring somewhere.
The place he was looking at was where Seo-hyul was looking at him.
“Even that Sagal who is glaring at me from afar tried so hard but failed to get what he wanted. After all, there is nothing in this world that we can control. So do what you can. I can’t control what other people think. Let go of what you can’t control and do your best with what you can.”
Ssuk-
The monster said, stroking [her] hand.
“That’s… the only reason I’m still alive in this strange and bizarre world, in spite of all the pain…”
As if something came to mind.
His voice was somehow weak.
After saying those words, the monster and I did not talk any further.
Three days later.
The monster’s strange fortress has arrived at Geon-Gon Jung-Yeok.
-Are you ready, Seo-hyul?
I asked Seo-hyul a question and he answered it.
[The preparations for pulling are almost complete. But…]
-But?
[It seems like that entity will reach the light limit sooner than expected.]
-What! When will you arrive!
[…will arrive in half a day.]
I let out a sigh at those words.
-Understood. When I give you the signal, get ready to pull. The monster will grab it and I will push.
[Yes, I understand…]
And then, it happened.
Wow, wow, wow!
The entire Gwanghan area shook, and the weather suddenly began to flow.
I looked up at the sky in surprise, and then I got an urgent call from Seohyul.
When I received Seo-hyul’s call, I shouted in anger.
“Seo-hyul! What the….”
[… Sorry, Seo Do-woo. I didn’t know much about the relationship between them and the eardrums, so I didn’t expect it.]
“Oh my… that’s enough!”
I explained the situation to the monster.
The monster burst into laughter after hearing my explanation.
“… Look at that. Nothing in this world goes as planned anyway.”
“Shit, shit, shit…!”
I was gritting my teeth to the point of losing my mind.
Contrary to Seo-hyul’s prediction, the Virgin Mary did not emerge from this public domain.
Instead, Kang Min-hee said that she was being summoned by her colleagues who had a secret plan.
It was clear that the Seopmyeongham had called Kang Minhee.
Right now, we must go to our comrades who are preparing to leap from the edge of the An-Kye region to the Sim-Jok realm!
‘But how?’
no method.
It was when my hair was starting to turn white.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Kim Yeon, who had been in a strange heart battle with me, sent me a message through the strange heart battle.
[Can you come right now?]
“… No. This is Geon-Gon-Jung Station. It’s too early to go there right now…”
[The incense burner says there is a method.]
“what!”
I was startled by those words and asked back.
“What is the method?”
[First… I will send the incense ceremony to you.]
Woohoo!
At the same time, Kim Yeon’s consciousness was connected to Bukhyanghwa, and Bukhyanghwa’s projection appeared in this direction by Kim Yeon.
Phew!
The painter of the north side encountered a supporting role inside the strange castle.
[Hello, Elder Jo Yeon. I am here to meet my junior, the idol of all craftsmen in the North Moga Sugye.]
At her words, the supporting actor frowned and asked.
“What are you?”
“… He is the master of the Gimun Law Firm that I mentioned before, and whom Yeon-i received help from. He is currently close to Imun.”
But the monster’s expression became a little strange at my explanation.
“…You are a descendant of the Jo family?”
[yes?]
“How strange… There’s no way you’re of the Jo clan’s bloodline… Absolutely not…”
[What is that….]
“Whatever. I’ll tell you the details later. So why did you come?”
At the monster’s question, Buk Hyang-hwa came to her senses and made a decision.
At the same time, a design appeared before us.
[It may be insignificant to show to the highest level of craftsmen in the water world, but this will be enough to get you from Geongonjungyeok to here.]
“that….”
The monster looked at the design she showed him with interest.
It was the blueprint for the Heavenly Resonance of the Heavenly Mystery.
But I asked again in frustration.
“Time is of the essence right now, so where is the time to make that! Why don’t you join forces with me and fly to the strange castle!”
But the monster laughed at my words and said,
“Where is the time! How much time do you need?”
“Huh? What is that…?”
Kiiing!
At the gesture of the monster’s hand, a human-shaped puppet flew in from somewhere and stood in front of Bukhyanghwa.
“There’s no need to say anything. I’ll show you, so just watch. Since you don’t seem to be of the Jo clan’s bloodline, I’ll let you work as my assistant for a while. I don’t know how you obtained the title of Gimun Beopjae when you’re not even from my family, but in any case, if you’re Gimun Beopjae, you should be able to do a good job as an assistant!”
At the monster’s words, Buk Hyang-hwa answered with a passionate voice while hiding inside the puppet the monster had brought.
“It’s an honor! Grandmaster of the Monster Supporting Role!”
“Come on, let’s show them the power of the craftsmen!”
Clink clink clink clink clink clink!
The devices of the strange castle moved.
At the same time, the Gokgun and Bukhyanghwa joined forces to tear the Gongryongji of Geongonjungyeok from the ground, and in an instant, they began to transplant the Gyemyeocheongongjin inside the strange castle.
‘crazy….’
I’ve seen the monsters many times, but honestly, even though I’ve been around for nearly 200,000 years, I still can’t quite get used to them.
Clank clank clank… Kwung!
It was only a moment before a magnificent sound was heard, and the Gyemyeocheon Gongjin, smaller in size but more elaborate than the one installed in Gwangumyeok, appeared in the center of the strange castle.
“It’s temporary, but it’ll be usable! Alright, let’s go then!”
The monster wiped off his sweat and activated the Gyemyeocheon Gongjin, and the strange castle began to leap through space.
Clang! Clang!
After traveling tens of thousands of miles, we were suddenly faced with the Battle of Guimou.
