Chapter 501 - The world doesn't fall apart like that

Eighthwangsinmo was a fatalist.

So, he dismissed things like killing his disciple, Tae Il-gwan, and becoming the King of Chundu by sacrificing monks as fate.

Her attitude toward fate was as absolute as her divine statements.

That is why she is tolerant of her rivals who get in the way of famous religions.

She believed that Yeon Jeok-ha and Empress Namgung-yeon were intertwined with her own destiny.

This is because Yeonjeokha resembles her to the point of being thought to be the incarnation of her younger brother who died in her childhood, and Empress Yeon Warlords is the sacrifice chosen by Geumsa.

I don't know how that fate will end, but one thing is clear.

Everything was in her own hands.

“Do you want to become a sacrifice like the empress yeon?”

Her words were like a question, ‘Do you want to go to the kings’ heaven too?’

Yeon Jeok-ha answered as if shooting.

"is it so! If you have a conscience, send me to Sister Yeon. Otherwise, the monsters will infest Mt. Fungji.”

It is said that he will kill the twelve horsemen and the white horse army.

Then Hwangsinmo Pal imitated her words that her mother-in-law told her last night.

“It is not difficult to send you to the heavens of kings,” she said. But I don't know if you can handle the weight.”

“There is nothing to worry about because I will take care of my problems. So let me go.”

“Did you say it was your problem?”

Eighthwangsinmo looked at Yeonjeokha with ridiculed eyes.

is it my problem? He didn't seem to know what he meant.

“What's wrong with you too?”

“Nothing at all. So don't think it's a problem with me. As you said, this is your problem.”

“What is the problem?”

“Did you already forget that the first marriage ceremony is an equivalent exchange?”

“Equivalent exchange?”

“The three-headed dog came to Yuinmong, the gatekeeper of Yeoryang Jeonginmun, the Black Knight came to Jeokwol, and the Golden Sage came to Empress Yeon. Haven't you guessed anything after hearing this?"

“Don’t ask, just tell me.”

“Until the red moon, the first marriage ceremony failed, or even if it succeeded, the demons descended. In other words, the summoning target is determined by the sacrifice. I was able to summon a proper divinity only after using 10 battles. A golden thread.”

“So?”

“How do you feel about yourself?”

“You really think I might fail because I’m not good enough?”

Then the Eighthwangsinmo laughed.

"you're welcome. Quite the contrary.”

“Then it’s okay, what’s the matter!”

“Your martial arts are far superior to those of ten former women. It's almost comparable to a master in the 100's. Who do you think will come from ‘Heaven of Kings’ to replace you?”

“Who is coming?”

“The ‘Heaven of Kings’ is where three heavenly gods, eight kings, and nine lords rule. The Golden Temple who summoned Empress Yeon as a sacrifice is one of the nine monarchs. Who do you think will come if you, who are superior to him, are used as a sacrifice? Perhaps the king's deity might descend. Even the ruler, the Golden Temple, is superior to the absolute, but to be a king! Can you imagine its power?”

“I am not very interested.”

“No, you should be interested. Because you know what I'm going to do next.”

“… … .”

I was at a loss for words for a moment.

One hundred thousand beheaded.

What would happen would mean that madness.

“The summoned being and I have a psychic connection. You must have seen the Three Headed Dog and the Black Knight, right? Even the golden thread, the godhead, cannot disobey My will. The king would too. No matter how king you are, only a part of your godhead will descend.”

“The introduction is long. Tell me the main point.”

“Who can compete with the Golden Temple and the coming King? Hocheon blindness? green wood? Southern League? Huhu, it's fortunate if you don't kneel down and beg me to save you.”

“… … .”

“I will not stop until I achieve immortality. I will behead 100,000 people with the golden sword and the power of the king. Do you still want to go to the ‘Heaven of Kings’? Do you want to exchange the lives of 100,000 people for Empress Yeon?”

I couldn't answer to her.

It is difficult to handle the Hocheonmaeng and Green Forest even with the current famous bridge and golden thread.

What if something superior to gold thread was added to it?

There is nothing to do or think about. Everything will be as the famous religious leader said.

When Yeonjeokha hesitated, the Eighthwangsinmo spoke.

“Your heart for empress yeon does not reach my desire for immortality. When you make up your mind, then contact me.”

The Eighthwangsinmo rose from her seat.

Her lover asked her as she was about to turn around and leave.

"Of course it's not free, right? What do you want?”

“That will tell you the day your heart is made up. Compared to the beheading of 100,000 people, it won't be difficult.”

After her words, Pal Hwangsinmo flew up and disappeared with the trick of a deceitful cow.

how much time has passed

Even Gu Cheon-no, who avoided the seat for the sake of the two, secretly returned.

“Gongja?”

"uh."

She tilted her head in pain at the sight of her visibly depressed figure.

“Did something go wrong?”

“Good.”

“Your expression isn’t zero, is it?”

Simtong went up to the floor while examining the complexion of Yeonjeokha.

Even then, her gaze was fixed on the air with a face of rapture.

“Why is that?”

"ha! driving me crazy."

She told Simtong, who was sighing, about her conversation with Hwangsinmo.

“… … Call me when you make up your mind. No matter how crazy you are about immortality. Would you behead 100,000 people? After becoming the Demon King, he treats people like flies.”

He murmured with a saddened face.

"her! ten thousand people I've lived in Sapa all my life, but I've never seen a Madu like the Goddess of the Eighth Emperor.”

“What would an old Sim do?”

He couldn't easily answer Yeon Jeok-ha's question, even the heartache that had been worn out in Sapa.

The heartache that had been pondering for a long time quietly opened her mouth.

“A famous teacher. Anyway, whether or not Confucius goes to ‘Heaven of Kings’, isn’t he going to kill 100,000 people?”

“I guess.”

“Then what are you thinking about? Save your mother-in-law.”

“I want to too… … . Even the gold thread is daunting, but I don't know what else will come. Even if the Hocheon League, the Green Forest, and the Southern League unite, they won’t be able to handle it.”

“Is it time for Confucius to worry about others?”

“Are you not worried? The world might end because of me?”

“Confucius, the world will not perish that much.”

“What if it fails?”

“Aren’t you going to soak the intestines because you’re afraid of maggots?”

“Because it’s not like maggots.”

“Do as you like, Gongja. If I were Confucius, I would go to the ‘Heaven of Kings’.”

Yeon Jeok-ha, shaking his head, said.

"thank you. for saying so.”

“Thank you. Take it for granted.”

Old sim no longer asked, “What are you going to do?”

Because no matter which one you choose, the heart of the jeokha will be painful.

On that day, Yan Jehe and Shen Tong left Jiaogu County.

It is to let the Namgung family know that Namgung Yeon is alive in the ‘Heaven of Kings’.

It was around the middle of December when Yeonjeokha and Simtong arrived at Namgungse of Hebi in Namjiryeseong.

main building.

Sword King Namgung Byeok looked at his son-in-law Yeonjeokha, who was haggard, with pitying eyes.

He wandered around without rest for over half a year, and he was a nomadic wanderer.

He is more concerned about his son-in-law than his daughter who disappeared after being kidnapped.

“Your face is hurt. Do you have any pain anywhere?”

“Yeah, I’m still fresh.”

Yeonjeokha swung his arms around as if nothing was wrong.

“You should know that if you are healthy, you can find Yeon. Even if you find Yeon-yi, if something happens to you, that also has no meaning.”

“Yes, it’s okay because I travel a lot while staying in the green forest.”

He said in a tone that it was not a star to have a relationship with.

He had been around for almost a year to catch the Twelve Horses that had infiltrated the green forest.

Of course, it was moving so fast that it was difficult to compare it to then.

Cheongwoon Sword Namgungcheon, who was watching her, asked cautiously.

“Hey Jeokha, is there any news about Yeoni?”

"yes. Actually, I came running because I had something to discuss about it.”

“Is there something to discuss?”

He told Namgung Byeok and Namgung Cheon the story of the mother of the eight emperors.

“… … It seems like a big deal for me to decide on my own. I don't know what to do. I want to go there right now, but if one of the eight kings comes... … . No, even if one more of the nine monarchs comes, the world will go the way the famous religious leader wants.”

Namgung Byeok’s mouth was wide open.

To think that there is someone stronger than the famous cult leader in Mt. Poongji!

Even the famous cult leader is not under the tenth master, but it was astounding to be stronger than him.

“Did the golden thread look so strong?”

“Yes, they robbed the thing was controlling with swordsmanship. I don't know if he's a god or not, but he looked one step above me.”

When Yeon Jeok-ha said, ‘one level higher than herself,’ Namgung Byeok shook her head excitedly.

He is a master who stands shoulder to shoulder with the top 10 masters in the world.

But is it one step above that?

In the end, it was no different than saying that he was stronger than the ten thousand masters.

“I can't understand the true intentions of the person called the Golden Snake. He told a famous religious leader to behead 100,000 people. He had never heard of a way to escape the hands of a divine being by killing a man.”

“I think that golden thread made even the famous cult leader think strangely.”

“Is he talking about a god slayer?”

At Namgungcheon's words, Yeon Jeokha nodded his head.

"yes. After all, it means ‘I can be freed by killing someone’.”

“Sure, it could be.”

Namgungcheon nodded.

Come to think of it, ‘killing 100,000 people’ and ‘killing the golden thread’ were somewhat similar.

“Geumsa put a strange wind into the lungs of the famous cult leader! I think you know why the famous religious leader grabbed you and said that.”

“You know? Why is that?”

“Think of the time long ago when Gu Cheonnodo was poisoned by Li Mae Mang-ryang’s poison. Even then, didn't he condition the Baekdu Demon Army to be brought?”

“It was.”

“This time, I will ask you to help me kill the golden thread. He wouldn't have the confidence to kill the Golden Temple by himself. He will need your help to become a God Slayer.”

“Before that, I will go to ‘Heaven of Kings’. would you?”

“I will wait for that much. Didn't you wait quite a long time even during the red moon?”

Namgung Byeok, who was listening to the conversation between the two, said a word.

“Looks like you’re thinking of going to ‘Heaven of Kings’.”

“… … .”

There was no denial or affirmation of the relationship.

However, in the current situation, silence was no different from affirmation.

Namgung Byeok, one of the knights, continued her words with her hard face.

“It is a matter of tens of thousands of lives. If the words of the famous cult leader are true, the orthodox sect cannot stop the famous cult leader. Do you even have that in mind?”

Then Namgungcheon intervened.

“If the jeokha doesn't go, can we stop the famous religious leader? doesn't exist. Whether the jeokha goes or not, the famous religious leader will behead 100,000 people.”

"so? Are you saying it's okay for a famous religious master to obtain a monster worse than a golden thread? To a man who openly said he would behead a hundred thousand people? The people of the world will resent and curse the enemy.”

Namgung Byeok and Namgungcheon's gaze collided in the air.

As the snowball fight between the father and son continued, the couple quietly got up from their seats.

I ran to just in case, but it seems that there is no way to prevent the beheading of 100,000 people.

If that's going to happen anyway, wouldn't it be okay to live a little selfishly?
