Episode 1055. Further Up
Han-gyeol laughed it off and turned his gaze towards Dok-go-oh.
Dokgo Oh was practicing in a closed room. It was a training to create his own great path. His great path was located deep inside the Jongwon world.
The Jongwon-gye was not made up of just one cross-section. It was made up of several planes stacked one on top of the other with spaces between them.
The further you go inside, the narrower the space becomes, but it becomes a safe place that is not easily seen by people.
Dokgo Oh’s level was not bad considering his age and environment. He was almost on par with Saengjima Shin, so there was no need to say anything more.
If the Saengjimashin became stronger after changing from the Chaos Mashin to the Jongwon Mashin, Dokgo Oh was born with talent and qualities that were unparalleled even in the Jongwon world, so there was bound to be a difference in their growth.
Han-gyeol averted his gaze and focused on his outing with the Do-ryeos again.
He had planned to spend about ten thousand years leisurely like this. Ten thousand years was now a time that passed in the blink of an eye for Han-gyeol, so he had no reason to regret not being able to practice.

Hongmongdaedo world,
At its center stood three huge palaces lined up in a row. These were the dojos of the three Hongmong Demon Gods.
Siwon Hongmong and Hwang Jeoncheon were visiting the palace of Emperor Han.
The three Hongmongmasins were like clones of each other. However, they were clearly independent entities with different thoughts, so they would regularly meet to discuss future plans.
“Higher realm?”
Han Hwang asked back with a strange expression. Siwon Hongmong nodded.
“Well, didn’t the Master surpass the Creator? We can certainly do it too. Of course, it hasn’t been that long since we became Creators, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be satisfied with where we are now and step back, right?
Before chaos existed, we practiced with the goal of reaching the Great Dao-Ji-Sang-Gyeong. At that time, we thought the Great Dao-Ji-Sang-Gyeong was the highest realm. But after reaching the Great Dao-Ji-Sang-Gyeong? We encountered a new quality called the Hongmong-Ma-Sin, and we learned that the Creator Daoist exists above that. In the same way, we can reach a higher place, the Jujae-Gyeong.”
Siwon Hongmong’s words were filled with strength and determination. Han Hwang could feel that his words were sincere because he shared the same feelings.
Han Hwang fell into deep thought.
Even so, even after becoming a creator, he continued to feel thirsty.
Hwang Jeon-cheon joined the conversation.
“It’s good to show your fighting spirit. The problem is how to make it happen. We know exactly where Hongmong’s limits are. If we continue to work with Hongmong like this, we’ll end up being only a little stronger than the average creators.”
Siwon Hongmong nodded his head heavily.
“Yes, that is why there is a need to strengthen the bloodline. A bloodline that exists higher than the Hongmongmashin. Think about the case of the master. Before the Great Doliang Kalpa, only one Hongmongmashin could exist in chaos. That is why Han Hwang could not be born into the world and had to stay in his mother’s womb. What did the master do then? He strengthened his bloodline to escape the Hongmongmashin, allowing Han Hwang to be born into the world.”
The main character of the story, Han Hwang, as well as Hwang Jeon-cheon, looked at Siwon Hongmong with a blank expression.
More elevated than the Hongmongmashin? Is that really possible?
Siwon Hongmong continued the story.
“I am preparing for the world. I think I might be able to find some answers in the Jongwon world. Of course, it might go against the will of the host, so I am discussing it this way.”
Then he looked at Han Hwang. Han Hwang shrugged.
“As long as it doesn’t harm the clan, I don’t really care.”
“Even if I had dozens of gall bladders, I wouldn’t do something like that. Haha.”
Siwon Hongmong answered like that and laughed.
Han Hwang was troubled again, but eventually decided to go along with Siwon Hongmong’s plan.
I couldn’t bear to turn my eyes away from the ray of hope that was a higher realm.

Deep in the void, a place where a giant divine tree resides.
Jeguhondon was playing Go with Dojo under that tree.
It was a really strange looking board. The land with actual mountains and rivers spread out on the board, and each time they placed a stone, their territory expanded and more mountains and water appeared.
Dojo opened his mouth.
“More creators will appear in the future. Then, won’t beings of higher realms also appear?”
Jeguhondon answered in a calm voice.
“Do you want to ask the host’s opinion on such a thought?”
Dojo smiled.
“Yes, but I want to reveal that I want to know more than that. And I believe that the Lord has greater generosity and tolerance than the Hongmongmasin of the past.”
Jeguhondon said without taking his eyes off the Go board.
“It’s still too hasty. If you act too hastily, you’ll end up falling badly. And I, who have failed at it once, no, several times, have no advice for Do-woo. If you really want to know about it, wait. Until you gain strength similar to mine.”
Then Dojo spoke in a meaningful voice.
“Isn’t it true that what is needed to reach a higher level is not simple practice? That is why the helper failed to ascend.”
“Yes. I failed. That’s why you can’t do it either. Well, if you really must do it, I’ll just wait for your failure.”
Jeguhondon’s answer was a bit harsh, but Dojo didn’t get angry. He just placed the stone he was holding down hard on the board.
In a world where strong winds blow on the Go board, Jeguhondon calmly played his next move. The stone he put down turned into a mountain and blocked the strong wind blowing across the board.
The two creators continued their endless fight, building mountains, destroying them, and blocking each other’s advances.

Jongwon-gye, the afterlife.
In the palace where ghosts flowed, a huge head was sticking out from the walls. He was the greatest and most evil ghost in the underworld, and the spirit of a criminal would be shattered to pieces just by looking at him. The aura he gave off was so great.
At the gate of the palace hung a huge signboard with the name Yeomrajeon engraved upon it.
On the first floor of the Yeomrajeon, Yangcheon-dong was working there. The feather fan in his hand had a blue flame hanging from it. A cold chill was felt from the blue flame that symbolized the flame of the underworld.
“It’s free.”
Yangcheon-dong muttered as he shook his fan.
He was in charge of the underworld of the Jongwon clan. Any great being wishing to enter there had to receive permission from him.
That’s why Yangcheon-dong was completely intoxicated with his status and power. Except for his teacher, he was no longer afraid of anyone.
But the pleasure of such power was only for a moment. It was no longer enjoyable. It was just a feeling of emptiness.
Yangcheon-dong was a great city, but the loneliness and desolation he felt was on the level of a great city, or rather, a great city of creation.
As those days continued, Yangcheon-dong spent most of his time looking back on the past. The adventures he had while traveling to all sorts of places were the pillars that supported the current Yangcheon-dong.
While Yangcheon-dong was lost in memories, someone came up to him and stood in front of him.
It was a refreshing dream.
Yangcheon-dong glanced at Siwonhongmong and tried to fall back into his memories.
Then Siwon Hongmong opened his mouth.
“I am Siwonhongmong, and I would like to transfer to Jongwongye to check the power there. My main body cannot enter there, so I ask you to do it with willpower alone. I have come to you like this to establish your and the master’s side. Please do not refuse.”
Siwon Hongmong, I’ve heard that name somewhere······. Yangcheon-dong thought about that and then suddenly remembered the Hongmong Demon God who had become one with Han Hwang. The other person was a famous person who had recently become a creator.
Even though Siwon Hongmong revealed his identity, Yangcheon-dong’s attitude did not change.
“If you are the creator, why don’t you go and talk to the host directly?”
“Is the host someone that can be met so easily? Is it possible for you?”
“It’s not like you have no connection with him at all.”
Yangcheon-dong narrowed his eyes and covered his mouth with a fan. After all, being able to come and go from the dojo at will was a privilege only for Eunmun’s disciples.
“Han Hwang? He could go and see the host.”
“I already did. However, the host was not staying in the dojo. According to the clone, he went into the Jongwon world and spent some time there. So, I also want to go to the Jongwon world through Jeonre and meet him.”
Siwon Hongmong became increasingly upset at Yangcheondong’s attitude. Even if he was the king of the underworld, the King of Hell, how dare he act like that in front of the great saint, the creator of the underworld······.
“Good. Then, place the main body here in the Hall of Hell.”
“hmm.”
Siwon Hongmong answered like that and left his body in a corner of Daejeon, then stood in front of Yangcheon-dong again in the form of a will.
The reincarnation of the Jongwon clan was not something that could be done just because one wanted to. Yangcheon-dong was told to wait a moment and fell into the routine of looking back on the past again.
After that, 10,000 years later, many reincarnated beings appeared from the Hell of Hell, but Siwon Hongmong was not among them.
Han-gyeol appeared there before Siwon Hongmong’s world.
Yangcheon-dong sensed the presence of people and glanced at them, then fell down from his seat in shock.
“T, Master······.”
Yangcheon-dong, who had bowed his head in front of Han-gyeol in a hurry, spoke in a trembling voice.
However, Han-gyeol ignored Yangcheon-dong and took Siwon Hongmong’s body and soul from the corner and escaped Daejeon.
As Han-gyeol’s energy disappeared, Yangcheon-dong sighed deeply and fell to the floor.
It had been so long since he had seen Han-gyeol that he was nervous. Their relationship had become so distant that they could no longer be considered teacher and student.
The emotions that Yangcheon-dong felt when facing Han-gyeol were fear, tension, and nothing but negativity.
Yangcheon-dong was able to breathe a sigh of relief when Han-gyeol left without saying anything. Yangcheon-dong had no relation to what Han-gyeol was planning to do with Siwon Hongmong.

Jongwon-gye Sky.
Han-gyeol and Si-won Hong-mong were looking down on Jong-won-gye from there.
“How is it?”
When Han-gyeol asked the question, Si-won Hong-mong couldn’t take his eyes off Jong-won-gye and said.
“Perfect. Hongmong, it’s incomparable to chaos.”
Han-gyeol smiled slightly. Si-won Hong-mong carefully opened his mouth while observing Han-gyeol’s expression.
“Your Majesty, is there a stronger bloodline above Hongmongmashin? What I mean is, can Hongmongmashin go higher than this?”
“Just as there is no limit to water level, there is no limit to bloodlines. Do you want to go higher? It won’t be an easy path.”
“Still, I’d like to give it a try.”
“······, What are you going to do?”
“I’m not sure about that yet.”
Siwon Hongmong was speaking honestly. He was confident that Han-gyeol would give him the right advice for him right now.
“Hmm, then go around the Jongwon clan. You might be able to find some clues.”
Saying that, Han-gyeol suddenly disappeared.
“In the near future, a being that transcends the Hongmongmashin may appear.”
The words that Han-gyeol left behind echoed in Siwon Hong-mong’s ears. At the same time, an unfamiliar figure appeared in Siwon Hong-mong’s mind. It was a white-haired man whose identity even Han-gyeol did not know for sure.
Siwon Hongmong narrowed his eyes and hit the white-haired man in the head.
Judging from the words and actions of the host, it was clear that this white-haired man was a being that surpassed Hongmongmashin.
Why is the host telling him this? Because he is with Han Hwang?
Siwon Hongmong, who could not understand Han-gyeol’s thoughts, shook his head and went out to find the white-haired man first. He created clones and scattered them all over the Jongwon world.
