[496] The Night Before the End (5)
Jiiing!
I looked down, stretching my conscious realm.
My sphere of consciousness had expanded enormously.
‘This entire star system… seems like it can be held in one hand.’
Everything within a radius of 0.6 light years comes into view.
I am omniscient in this.
‘I’ve only achieved my promotion through the Heavenly Clan method, so I’m not yet a Heavenly and Earthly Dual Master, but I don’t think I’ll be easily defeated by anyone at this level.’
Woohoo!
Behind his back, a cartwheel instead of a Taegeuk appeared.
It was a wagon wheel with eight spokes.
I feel it.
The practice of the Holy Spirit must fully embody these eight spokes.
Training on the eight types of fate that Baekwoon had in his mouth.
That is the practice of the Holy Spirit, and I felt that the goal was represented by these spokes.
‘It would be better to ask other saints for more details.’
I looked down there, thinking that.
It seemed that all the people of Mongunseong were surprised.
Well, it must have been quite disconcerting, with all seven stars gone.
Of course there are some embarrassing things, but the most embarrassing thing is probably… .
‘It must be the Choryong tribe.’
The entire Shuryong tribe was relocated to Mengyunseong.
The Shuryong tribe that lived on the seven stars all had some differences between their species, but since they all originated from me, there was no great difference.
The Shuryong tribe was the ones who evolved and lived in my world, which was like hell for everyone.
The Shuryong tribe complained about the small amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit, but soon they were satisfied with the heavenly environment of Mengwunseong and each settled down to lie down in their own appropriate places.
‘But that’s strange.’
I felt a little bit puzzled when I saw the Shuriken Tribe.
‘Is it true that during the original Seongban-gi promotion ceremony, such an unheard-of race was created?’
I decided to ask someone else who would know more about this phenomenon later, and after I stored some of the Shuryong tribe’s bloodline factors in my world, I went to find someone else.
It was Kang Min-hee.
She was very easy to find.
It was still flying around upside down with Seoran, absorbing the particles.
‘I guess she’s almost finished her promotion now.’
But is it because I am connected to the afterlife through the Pure Mantra?
As Kang Min-hee searched for her true nature, she seemed to lose her former self.
She used to be a bright and cheerful person, but as she absorbed more and more powder, she started to lose her human appearance, becoming more like the Virgin Mary and losing her reason.
Seoran, who used to protect Kang Minhee, was now being dragged around by Kang Minhee.
I looked at Seoran for a moment and frowned.
[… If you think about it, that’s true.]
Two thousand years ago.
I opened my eyes for a moment.
At that time, when I was writing about Kang Min-hee’s recent situation in the realm of consciousness, I discovered that Hyeol-eum, Seo-hyul, and Seo-ran were wandering around her.
At the time, I thought it was because I was not in my right mind, but thinking back now, it was ridiculous.
‘I guess that’s how it is… but that bastard Seo-hyul… .’
It was something I didn’t know I’d gotten mixed up with Kang Min-hee.
Taaak!
I snapped my fingers, and in an instant, Seran was in front of me.
Kang Min-hee seemed flustered down there, but now was not the time to worry about that.
[Huh! Hey, senior?]
[Just stay still for a moment.]
I grabbed Seoran’s shoulder and my eyes sparkled.
Woohoo!
A cart wheel appeared behind me.
I included the realm of consciousness of Seran in the rotation of my consciousness.
[Senior! Ugh! I feel like I’m going to lose consciousness!]
[Don’t worry. I’m just trying to bring out the bad stuff.]
After a while.
In Seoran’s consciousness, black things like insects poured out in droves.
[Come out, you scorpion!]
And finally, all the black things popped out from Seoran’s consciousness.
Wood crack!
I clenched my fist, and just like that, the force of gravity gathered and everything burst out except for one of the things that had popped out from inside Seran.
What my eyes caught was burned to the ground, leaving no trace.
Wiggle, wiggle… .
After a while.
The last black piece began to wiggle and take on a human form.

I hurriedly transported Seoran to my world and glared at the guy.
[What are you doing, Seo-hyul?]
[It’s nothing. It’s just a struggle.]
[…you….]
I looked at Seo-hyul.
For some reason, the guy’s entire body had turned a bit redder than when he had absorbed ‘Hyeon-eum’.
Unlike Hyun-eum, who had been covered in a black robe all over her body, this guy’s entire body was now covered in a dark red robe.
[I ate the blood yin clone. I was lucky. If the blood yin hadn’t been subjugating the consonant, I wouldn’t have had the chance. Now I’ve crawled up to the blood yin’s eyes. I should be grateful to Seo Do-woo.]
[… You wouldn’t have done that to only Hyeol-eum. If you meddled in Kang Min-hee’s promotion ceremony, wouldn’t that mean you did something to her too!]
[I’m sorry, but I’m not so foolish as to do something like that to Our Lady of Guido. And if I peek inside [beyond] her, who knows what will happen next? Hehe… .]
I said, glaring at the bastard.
[What are you planning to do to Seoran?]
[… Ten thousand years had passed. That was enough time to extend his control over every corner of Ilwolcheon Station. In fact, Ilwolcheon Station was practically an empty house because it was blocked by the thunder and lightning of the Golden God.]
[Don’t change the subject!]
[Anyway, what I want to say is… I’ve almost taken control of the Noiseonghae. I can create an opening for Seo Do-woo’s colleague Jeon Myeong-hun to come out at any time. And… with the Noiseonghae that I’ve taken control of to that extent, I can do other things. For example, I can block the Jinseon of other regions from interfering with this place at a higher intensity… .]
[You…]
Whoosh whoosh!
I approached the guy with black flames flowing from my body.
[Are you trying to turn the conversation around to me because you really want to taste the heat?]
[In short, I am saying that it was none other than me who prevented Seo Do-woo from being kidnapped during his promotion. If you wish, I can slightly release the blocking power of the Brain Storm.]
That was when.
Choaaaak!
A creepy light burst out from my left shoulder and began to pull me towards it.
‘What the heck is this… .’
A far away place.
Beyond that hell!
There, eight giant gods of light appeared.
And then, a vision of the fifth seat beckoning towards me flashed before my eyes.
‘Hey, I’m getting dragged away!’
: : Are you finally up? Come here. You will be the first to show off your skills… . : :
[That Being] is calling me from Cheonwangcheon Station!
I was terrified, knowing that if I lost my mind I would be dragged away like this.
That was when.
Taaak!
When Seo-hyul snapped his fingers, I froze in place.
[… Ha. So you were the one blocking me?]
[That’s right. You don’t have to worry. As long as I control the brain, you don’t have to worry about Seo Do-woo being dragged away. Of course…]
He pointed upward with his finger.
[It would be best not to enter the Gwanghan Realm. If you do, you will be dragged straight to Cheonwangcheon Station even if I deploy a block.]
[What?]
[Think of a name for the light limit.]
[….]
It used to be a world of wide cold, but now it is a world of light and cold.
It is a world of light.
‘Since Baekun himself is a saint of light recognized by all, it wouldn’t be strange if he were to be dragged away through Baekun right away.’
[… Good. I’ll question you later.]
Anyway, avoiding the apocalypse was more important now.
After saving Jeon Myeong-hun, he goes into Yang Su-jin’s treasure vault and returns with the symbols of the Junggyeong Realm.
And after returning the symbols, if I went to the financial world that desperately wanted a successor, they would accept me unconditionally.
[First, let’s go to Noesonghae with my colleagues! Tell me where my colleagues are.]
[Hehe, if you’re looking for Seo Do-woo’s colleagues… Right now, all of Seo Do-woo’s colleagues are in the shelter.]
[Shelter?]
[Yes. It is a shelter created with Baekun Seongsa as its center. Fortunately, among Seo Do-woo’s colleagues, those who came from Seo Do-woo’s hometown have all reached the level of Saseonggi or a corresponding level, and have hidden in a space where they can take refuge at the end of the world together with Baekun Seongsa.]
[…Can’t I just tell you to come now?]
[It is certainly possible. However, the principle of the shelter is that you create your own area in the shelter and take refuge there by making yourself the axis of the formation within the space for a while… If you come out now, it will be difficult to re-enter the shelter when the end begins.]
[….]
I thought about it for a long time.
The fact that all of my hometown colleagues have reached the level of a master, probably means that Kim Yeon has also reached a similar level, or a level that can match that level.
There was no need to worry about my colleagues.
[… Then, does that mean just you and I have to go?]
[I guess so.]
Seo-hyul shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “What’s the big deal?”
[Don’t worry about me. My wife is also in that space. In case of emergency, she will not die and will disperse me again in the new world.]
[… that bastard is like a plague.]
[Haha, thank you for the compliment. And don’t worry about the lady down there.]
[I know that too.]
Even if the end comes, Kang Min-hee will be protected by the afterlife.
As she ascended to the ranks of the Holy Knights, I felt her changing to become a [vessel] of some kind of being.
Perhaps he was becoming a vessel for the high-ranking messengers of the underworld.
‘In that sense, there’s no need to worry about Kang Min-hee’s life yet.’
Because the grim reapers will protect her.
[So, Seo Do-woo, don’t worry about anything, just go with me and save Jeon Myeong-hun from Noesunghae, and then reach the 108th floor of Noesunghae.]
[…I get it.]
I tried to look for Hong Beom, but nodded when I realized he wasn’t there.
Hong Beom will probably also have a territory set up in the shelter of Baekun Seongsa.
I headed towards the path of the stars, closed my eyes, and chanted the jade tablet that was the key to the path of the stars.
Ten thousand years ago, the Venerables of that time were at a loss because they did not have the key to the path of the stars, but I do not need to do that.
Phew!
The seal of that time was realized on my hand.
My imagination has now become a complete world, and anything in that world can be brought into reality.
And ultimately, the image is my mind.
It can be transformed as I think and express my will.
If I could imagine a jade tablet, I could easily realize it.
[Open, path of stars.]
Woohoo!
I boarded the Star Road heading towards Pyeongun-gye and started to depart for Noeseonghae.
I will save Jeon Myeong-hun and survive the apocalypse.
And I will completely save Kang Min-hee from the power of the underworld.
certainly…!
I wonder if I’ve been on the path of stars with that guy Seo-hyul for a while.
I stopped for a moment on a planet while I was walking down the road.
[Wait a minute. I have some business to attend to on this planet.]
[Then, go ahead and do your work. I’ll wait a moment.]
He said so and disappeared into the darkness.
I turned my head and looked down at the ground and said.
[It’s been a while, Senior Jinru. I hope you’ve been well.]
What I came to find was the human race’s opening ceremony, Junseon Jinrugok.
[I came here to ask you something.]
But no answer came.
I clicked my tongue and revealed the cartwheel behind my back.
[Please listen to me for a moment. Stop pretending to be asleep.]
Ddddddddd!
As I began to draw strength, I felt the entire star vibrate.
And no matter what, I could feel Jinrugok getting irritated and making noises, as if he couldn’t ignore my voice that had reached the peak of its power.
[… It’s fu*king ridiculous. Why are you making the main event so annoying?]
[My junior, Seo Eun-Hyeon, has come to ask me something. As a fellow human, please give me some advice.]
[The end is near, and you’re still bothering me! If you’re looking for information to avoid the end, I have nothing to tell you but to go to the Central Realm and participate in the formation led by Baekwoon. Well… of course, if [the arrogant god] comes to Ilwolcheon Station and causes the real end, there’s no answer.]
Jinrugok did not even create an incarnation, but just confronted me in a planetary state and spoke to me in an irritated tone.
But I shook my head.
[That’s not it. Do you know anything about the Seongban-gi promotion ceremony?]
I came to Jin Lugok to ask him questions because I was curious about my situation and the situation of the Shulong Tribe.
It was probably because Jin Lugok, who was the disciple of Zeng Long and had a high position, would know about it.
And then, Jinrugok seemed to think for a moment and then opened his mouth.
[The method of making a bell and reaching the Holy Stage is rare, but not impossible. I saw such a method in an old book that he gave me when I was a priest of the main lineage.]
[Ah…! Is that so?]
His explanation continued.
But the more I listened to him, the more I couldn’t help but sigh.
[… In this way, those who occasionally ascend to the level of the Holy Knight by creating a species create their own species.]
[…Is it impossible to create a completely unrelated race?]
[I know that it is impossible. In terms of the human race… There may be differences in ‘race’ depending on the method. A yellow race investigator can create a white race or a black race by being promoted to the Seongbangi. However, I have never seen anything like a ‘Changryong (燭龍)’ coming out of a human race investigator’s body in any ancient text.]
[….]
‘Why on earth did those guys come out?’
At the time of my promotion to Seongban-gi, I didn’t feel anything strange because my sense of reason had become weak, but thinking back now, it was an extremely bizarre thing.
[Are you even human in the first place?]
[yes?]
[If you were a normal human, you should have emerged as an intelligent being if you were promoted that way, but you came out as something completely different. That means that there was some ‘strange’ information in your life blueprint. Usually, when you create a species that way, your own ‘life blueprint’ that you originally had is affected. Do you have a prehistoric bloodline or something like that?]
I thought about it for a moment and then raised my hand in front of him.
Cheeeeeee-
A hazy mist floated over my hand.
[This is all I have as a player’s blood. Even this is not real blood, it is just a ‘player’s talent’, a ‘seed’ that was obtained by living for more than 10 times the lifespan of the basic race.]
[Ahem…]
Pfft!
As I floated the seed of the awakened Seon-su-jin-hyeol over my hand, he, who had been showing only annoying interest in me until then, immediately created an incarnation and observed the seed of the Seon-su-jin-hyeol.
[… It is inevitable that a player will have more than a four-legged race, but yours is a bit strange.]
[What’s strange?]
[…there are too many!]
[yes?]
[How old are you now?]
[… Approximately… um… about 10,800 years old.]
Jinrugok looked at me with a dumbfounded expression and then clicked his tongue.
[10,800-year-old Seongban-gi… You’re a monster child. Are you the reincarnation of Yang Su-jin? Anyway. This is what’s strange about your true blood. You’re clearly only 10,800 years old, but the amount of history accumulated in this energy… is worth hundreds of thousands of years… no, hundreds, tens of millions of years! Does this make sense?]
I cleared my throat and told him that I had been practicing for what felt like twenty million years under the influence of some magic.
When Jinrugok heard what I said, he stroked his chin as if he was thinking about something, then shook his head.
[If you used a spell that makes you feel like you have a long time… I can certainly understand how long it would take… But it’s still strange. Are you really human? If you used a spell that makes you feel like you have a long time, then a human race should have appeared, but why did something like a dragon race appear… ]
He poked at Seon-su Jin-hyeol’s aura with an expression that said he simply could not understand.
And as he was observing the energy, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had found something.
[This is… I see. There’s something wrong.]
[What are you saying is wrong?]
[A transformation has been applied.]
[A transformation?]
His eyes lit up as he observed the energy of the Seon-sul-jin-hyeol.
[Your true blood has been transformed nearly… nine hundred times… no, roughly a thousand times. I don’t know what happened, but your true blood has traces of the cycle of time, life, and death. About a thousand times… I think that’s why your true blood has been transformed from a human to a dragon.]
[….]
[Do you have any guesses?]
I shed a sigh of relief.
The player’s blood is a type of ‘information body’ in the form of blood.
The history of the target is embedded in the spirit of heaven and earth, granting it strength.
My player’s bloodline had ‘mutated’ more than 998 times due to regression, and as a result, it seemed to have changed from a human to a dragon.
[… I have a guess… but I’ll research it more precisely later. If we survive the apocalypse, that is.]
[I see. Then I guess there are no more questions?]
[Yes. Thank you very much…]
[Then just go away. There are many beings connected to you, and I don’t want to face them anymore!]
Pfft!
Before I knew it, I had been transported to the next planet, accompanied by the roar of Jinrugok.
It seemed that Jinrugok had forcibly activated the Star Path and sent me away.
I chuckled and quickly headed towards the Brain Sea through the Star Path.
‘I should study the bloodline of the Shuryong tribe that I have stored in my world someday when I get the chance.’
It was clear that the Chukryong had something to do with regression.
Kwarrrrung!
I reached the brain drain and squinted my eyes slightly.
‘What the heck is this… .’
Until now, Brain Storm was just a ring finger-shaped dimension covered by a dimensional curtain.
But now, as its name suggests, the entire ring finger-shaped dimension was burning with lightning.
Quachjijijik!
Colorful lightning bolts were blazing everywhere, as if they had gone crazy.
[… Seo-hyul. Do you know why you are in such a state of brain damage right now?]
Slurp-
Seo-hyul appeared in the darkness, wearing a crimson robe, and shook his head with a puzzled expression.
[I don’t know about that either. I think Geum Jin-jo is probably doing something through a guy named Jeon Myeong-hun.]
[Are you performing some kind of ritual with the Heavenly Golden Thunder Body?]
[I think it would be better for Seo Do-woo to enter alone in this situation. Please leave Seo-ran to me. I will take good care of her while Seo Do-woo is away.]
[Don’t talk nonsense. If we fail this time, the end will come anyway, so Seoran will die anyway. It’s better to take Seoran with you with the determination not to fail… than to leave her to you.]
[Haha… You’re trustworthy.]
‘I guess it’s better for me to take it with me.’
If we interpret the phrase, it means that it is a good thing for him that I have Seoran with me.
‘After saving Jeon Myeong-hun and Kang Min-hee, I should also find out why he’s so obsessed with Seo-ran.’
[Then let’s try to enter the brain sea. Use all your might to create an opening.]
[Okay. Then have a nice trip…]
I left Seohyul behind and entered Noesonghae.
And then I could see a strange sight from inside.
‘That’s…!’
Suddenly, I felt goosebumps all over my body and tried to go outside again.
Kwarrung!
But for some reason, a thunderstorm occurred and blocked the way out of the sea.
‘Seohul… Are you up to something again…!’
I bit my lip and glared upstairs.
‘It doesn’t matter. No matter what trick you come up with, I’m confident I can break it! You can go back out once you reach the 100th floor, so hurry up and clear the 100th floor!’
I am on the first floor of the Tower of Trials.
I looked at the hundreds of millions of single-cell level brains there.
The brains were all kneeling, clasping their hands together in a prayer pose to someone.
The sight reminded me of a previous nightmare, but I shook my head.
‘Seohyul must be controlling the brains of Takhonmancheon.’
It would be unlikely for the brains of Yang Su-jin, who are hostile to the Lord of Heavenly Punishment, to suddenly pray to the Lord of Heavenly Punishment.
It must have been because he was infected with Takhonmancheon as planned by Seohyul.
‘No matter what you plan, it’ll be useless, Seo-hyul!’
I was extremely cautious of Seo-hyul and went up to save Jeon Myeong-hun.
Seohyul, who sent Seo Eun-hyeon to Noeseonghae, smiled brightly.
[… Since you interpreted my words the other way around, I will speak properly today. Really… I can trust you so much for helping me like this. Seo Do-woo… .]
Seo-hyul, who had been looking at Noesunghae for a moment, briefly wiped the smile from his lips.
After looking at Noesunghae with an emotionless face for a while, he reached out his hand towards Noesunghae.
As if there was something he had been longing for in front of him… .
[…was long.]
With his face devoid of all emotion, he opened his mouth and let out a small exclamation.
[It was long, it was long… The moment Seoran… passes the 107th floor… I will finally… be able to wake up from this dream.]
Woohoo!
Seohyul turned around from the thunderstorm and looked out at the entire universe.
Although he had lost his eyesight, he spread out both hands as he sensed the universe through Oh Hye-seo’s senses.
[now….]
The whole universe was changing.
The stars in the whole sky tremble, and the gravity becomes stronger.
When gravity reaches its peak, the universe begins to contract.
The world would soon be filled with light and heat, and the entire world would contract and compress into one point.
[The end begins.]
Seo-hyul smiled again.
He smiled as if he was wearing a mask and began to disperse.
At the same time, all the stars and nebulae of the world began to resonate with him.
The end has begun,
Seo Eun-hyeon started to climb up the Noesunghae to save Jeon Myeong-hun and find the symbols of the Junggyeong Realm.
Inside Jeon Myeong-hun’s body, the eons he had consumed were running wild, welcoming their true master.
In each of the intermediate zones, chaos began to break out.
Hong Beom, who had been in Baekwoon’s shelter with Seo Eun-hyeon’s colleagues, abandoned the place and headed somewhere outside the central security zone.
The beings of the light limit fell into madness all at once,
In the financial world, a rebellion broke out outside the walls,
The high-powered clansmen all prepared for their own end.
In the world of ghosts, the Black Ghost Valley prepared to collect the spirits of Ilwolcheon Station by launching 5,000 hidden ships at once.
and….
At the edge of the Jinma world, the greedy Lord Yo-un, who had been asked to do a favor by Seo Eun-hyeon, smiled as if he was wearing a mask and lifted something in both hands.
It was the neck of the children that Suin, Hongyeon, and Seo Eunhyun had asked for.
Ja-eum, who was the Sea Dragon King and the Sage of the True Demon Realm, and whose ego had now disappeared due to blood yin, laughed.
The incarnations of Xuanyin, who was the Black Dragon King and a constellation in the universe, laughed.
The Heavenly Horses of the Bloody Yin Realm all began to look up at the sky of the Bloody Yin Realm with the same smile on their faces and their hands on their backs.
All living beings throughout the constellation began to laugh in unison, facing the same direction while carrying their bags behind their backs.
The direction they were looking was the direction where the blood yin system was.
With the end, Seo-hyul’s grand plan, which he had dedicated his entire life to, began.
