Episode 1066. The Great Source of Life
Han-gyeol continued to explore the realm of basic rules. Since Han-ryang’s consciousness was also a special basic rule, he was able to gain quite a bit from contact with it.
Special basic rules were rules that had exceptional abilities compared to the basic rules. Their origins were different from the rules in other blank areas.
As he learned about such things, Han-gyeol began to think of a way to escape the void and become a supreme being.
The blank area was completely integrated with the present world. Therefore, there could be no outside. However, the blank area was clearly growing and expanding.
If I could only perceive the space that was created in that way and head towards it, I might be able to escape the void and become a supreme being.
And for that, it was necessary to have a perfect grasp of all the basic rules.
Han-gyeol decided on a direction and began to move forward.
I decided not to worry about reality for now.
In each dojo, there were clones that Han-gyeol had left behind, and a clone was staying at the main building.
In addition, the wills that Han-gyeol had shared were spread all over the world. There was almost no risk that Je-gu-hon-don would suddenly change his mind and kill Han-gyeol’s family or Eun-moon’s disciples.
Han-gyeol focused solely on enlightenment.
Hanryang followed Hankyul around with a strange expression on his face. This was because he saw Hankyul absorbing the streams of light flowing around him.

The temple of transcendence,
The creators were looking up at the sky with angry expressions. At the end of their gaze stood a white-haired man.
Behind the white-haired man stood three horsemen. Upon closer inspection, the horsemen looked like the Hongmongmashins, yet they did not.
That white-haired man was the one that Han-gyeol was worried about and the one that Je-gu-hon-don had seen in his dreams.
For hundreds of billions of years after the disappearance of the Lord, the Mujin era continued to develop and change. About once every ten million years, a new religion that shook the world was born.
The White-Haired Man was also a Heavenly being born in this way. From the moment of his birth until the moment of his growth, the creators did not realize that he was a dangerous being.
By the time the creators realized that he was a threat to the stability of the world, it was already too late.
After a short period of 10 billion years, the white-haired man succeeded in becoming the creator. And he began calling himself the Supreme Being.
Before he became a cult leader, he had a gentle personality. However, immediately after becoming a cult leader, he began to have an eye for the Hongmong Demons, and eventually killed them and took their power and qualities.
And now, he······, had a completely different appearance than before. He had no trace of the creator’s unique atmosphere, and he looked like a demon, which made the creators’ hearts shiver.
“You idiots, you really didn’t know that there was another world hidden above the Temple of Transcendence?”
The Supreme Being shouted like this and laughed at the creators.
It was just after the fight ended.
Even though the creators combined their powers, they were no match for the Supreme Being.
Having absorbed the power of the Hongmong Demons, he possessed power that truly transcended the Creator.
Jeguhondon said.
“Stop it here. You have already fallen out of favor with the Emperor by killing Han Hwang and stealing his power.”
Han Cheok, Han Ling, Yeo Yo, and other creators of the Silver Gate glared at Jeolmyeong Daewonjeon with murderous intent in their eyes. However, they were powerless in front of Jeolmyeong Daewonjeon.
“Jeongjae? I’ve heard that name so many times that it’s become a nuisance, but does someone like that really exist?”
The Supreme Being laughed and waved his hand. Then, a purple curtain appeared above the Temple of Transcendence. The curtain completely separated the Temple of Transcendence from the sky above it.
The first to display his supernatural power was Yin-Yang Infinite Destruction God. The supernatural power, which contained tremendous magical power, struck the purple barrier, but the barrier did not budge.
The other creators also gathered all the power they could muster and attacked, but the purple curtain only shook violently and did not collapse.
It seemed as if heavy rain was pouring down over the sea.
The Supreme Being smiled faintly at the struggling creators and turned his gaze to the sky. As he stretched out his hand above his head, space split apart, and the space that had been hiding its existence until now began to appear.
Jeolmyeongdaewonjon crossed into that space without a moment’s hesitation, and the wounds in the space quickly healed and disappeared.
The Supreme Being was standing in some kind of heaven and earth.
Green mountains stood in a row under the blue sky, and a river flowed powerfully between them. It was a landscape that looked like a painting, and anyone who saw it would be unable to take their eyes off it, but Jeolmyeongdaewonjeon, who had set foot there for the first time, frowned as if he didn’t like something.
“Why can’t I feel the aura of the rules?”
Jeolmyeongdaewonjon thought that the great Yeon he was thinking of was definitely hidden here.
It took me 10 billion years just to find this space and enter it. I couldn’t go back empty-handed without getting anything.
With that thought in mind, he began to search the world.
And then he found a stone statue. It was a statue made in the image of Han-gyeol.
Jeolmyeongdaewonjon stretched out his hand towards the stone statue.
Then, the will of Han-gyeol that remained in the stone statue responded.
Jeolmyeongdaewonjon clicked his tongue at the determined will that was revealed in front of the stone statue.
“Who are you?”
“Who do you think it is?”
Han-gyeol’s will smiled faintly and asked back.
“If the creators didn’t recognize the existence of the space created in the blank space, then······, it could only be the strongest being in the legend, Jujae.”
“Yes.”
“······, okay, that’s good.”
The Jeolmyeongdaewonjon was unexpectedly smiling brightly. He stretched out his hand as if trying to grab Han-gyeol’s will.
But his hands were just cutting through the air.
Han-gyeol’s will still looked at Jeolmyeongdaewonjeon with a smiling face.
Even though he had breathed magical power into his hands, allowing him to catch things that didn’t exist, he still couldn’t catch anything.
“I guess the title of host wasn’t earned in vain.”
The Jeolmyeongdaewonjon muttered as he put his hand away. He had no intention of backing down here. He glared at Han-gyeol and began to think about how he could catch him, how he could take away the strength that Han-gyeol had left here.
“Do you want my power?”
To Han-gyeol’s question, Jeolmyeongdaewon-jon nodded vigorously.
“Yes. You are the one who completes me. I will change this immutable blank area. You must have thought the same thing. However, you ultimately achieved nothing. I will not deny that you contributed to the development of the blank area. However, you failed to change the nature of the blank area. I have learned the rules of the blank area. If it were me, I could change the blank area and achieve contrast.”
At the end of Jeolmyeongdaewonjon’s long story, Han-gyeol opened his mouth again.
“Change, how?”
“I will create a finite world. An infinite world may seem full of hope at first glance, but it is not. There is no meaning in such a world. What can be gained by exploring the unknown and practicing is limited. That path is wrong.
A world where there is no need to practice is paradise. All living beings will live equal lives, and as a result, fighting will naturally disappear. A life where we do not take from each other, but rather share with each other, and are free from death. A life free from suffering. That is the life I pursue and the world I want to create.”
Han-gyeol shook his head.
“Why did you kill the Hongmong Demons and take their power?”
“It was a necessary sacrifice. I needed to obtain the qualities that transcend the Hongmong Demon God. Only then can I surpass the Creator and ascend to a higher realm. And I have found you. Now, if I absorb your power, I will be complete. Don’t worry, when I become my complete self, I will revive you, the Hongmong Demon Gods, and all the living beings I have killed.”
Jeolmyeongdaewonjon was sincere. And Han-gyeol recognized his sincerity and met his gaze.
After a while, Han-gyeol said.
“Are you afraid of dying?”
Jeolmyeongdaewonjon flinched and frowned.
“What does that mean?”
“You are not a living being. You exist in this world by borrowing the body of a living being. So······, you are not something like the Supreme Being. You are a blank space.”
The Supreme Being stepped back. And for the first time, he showed a bewildered expression. His gaze was fixed on Han-gyeol.
“You must have been afraid that the Jongwon clan would take over the empty space and replace it. That’s why you were born. Restricted by the basic rules, you had no choice but to transfer your will and build up your strength step by step from the beginning. You thought of the 10 billion years that I was gone as an opportunity. And actually······, you did it.”
The face of the Supreme Being was dark and depressed.
“You were born and raised in the blank space, and yet you tried to rebel against the blank space. Don’t you think that’s wrong?
You have already become an invincible being. You hold supreme power in your hands. Is that not enough? Do you have to climb higher by force?”
Han-gyeol shook his head again.
“Just like you. I too am afraid of dying. That is why I was afraid of being defeated by the blank realm. Just like Hongmongmashin and Jeguhondon, I was afraid of the moment when I would have to step down and give up my position as the absolute being. That is why I want to become stronger. I have to become stronger.
But as I grew stronger, the blank space also grew stronger. In your eyes, the beings in the blank space, and even I, are just pawns?”
“You seem to already know everything, so let’s stop acting. Stop expanding the Jongwon system. If you don’t stop it, a second and third version of yourself will appear. And each time, they will be born with stronger and more outstanding qualities. There will come a time when you have to face all the beings in the Blank Realm. You won’t stand a chance.”
The Supreme Being declared in a cold voice. And then the sky split apart. Beyond the split sky, a familiar feeling of lightning flashed.
It was the very lightning that formed the lightning egg, the lightning that was filled with the power of rules.
The Supreme Being threatened Han-gyeol with his lightning and said:
“Invincible Being, the Void Realm has been dealing with people like you for a long time. And their endings have always been bad. Why do you think that is? Because you are selfish. You limit the development of sentient beings for your own status. That is what I feel sorry for. It is deplorable.”
Hearing that, Han-gyeol shrugged his shoulders.
“When did I ever get involved in the affairs of the Void Realm? I just walk the path I want to take. I spend most of my time cultivating. I don’t remember hindering the development of sentient beings. Rather, thanks to my existence, the number of creators has increased. And didn’t the will of the Void Realm like you give me the opportunity to transform into a living being and descend to this land?
Because I tried to escape from the Creator, the will called you was burned at the stake to obtain the form you have now. Because Jeguhadon existed, the will called you was born. Rather, don’t you think it is right to praise me, Jeguhadon, and other beings who tried to escape their limitations?”
Jeolmyeongdaewonjon let out a sigh.
“You could see it that way. But the moment the Jongwon clan tried to fill the gap, everything lost its meaning.”
In reply, Jeolmyeongdaewonjon raised his hand high.
Then, lightning that had been waiting for a command, flashing across the crack, struck Han-gyeol’s body. Then, the three horsemen standing behind Jeolmyeongdaewonjeon stretched out their hands forward.
The shadows of the Hongmongmasins loomed over the horses. Those shadows were also reaching out their hands forward.
The next moment, Hongmong’s energy surged like a wave and covered Han-gyeol, who was suffering from lightning.
Han-gyeol smiled leisurely even under such attacks. As he focused his eyes, the Hongmong Demons disappeared, and the lightning retreated. The Hongmong Jagi also scattered.
The basic rules that had been the basis of all those attacks were gone.
Jeolmyeongdaewonjon looked at Han-gyeol with an expression of disbelief. His white hair was blowing in the wind.
“It seems that my body has become even stronger. I am sorry. I have been watching the blank area. I also knew of your existence. I planned to watch over you for another 50 billion years. I planned to wait until you had finished growing. You have steadily taken away the power of the Hongmongmashin and grown into a being that even Jeguhadon cannot do anything about. However, you have not been able to overcome the most important wall of the Creator.
The Creator has already risen to the same position as the empty realm. The empty realm is your physical body, but you cannot use the power of that body. Only your will and consciousness have been transferred. By doing so, you have succeeded in obtaining the qualities of a living being, but the price of giving up your original power was not small. You cannot defeat me.”
If you wish to step back and wait for another time, step back. I will allow you to do so. When you have transcended the Creator, I will challenge you again.”
In front of Han-gyeol’s arrogant declaration, Jeolmyeongdaewon-jon had no choice but to grit his teeth and take an offensive stance again.
However, before he could do anything, a great force came over him and his body, soul, and will were all dissolved into a puff of smoke.
The immortality of the Creator lost its power and meaning in the presence of the Creator, Han-gyeol.
