Episode 1072. The fear that falls like snow

Meanwhile, Angel An Ja-gi left the soldiers who followed him behind at Jongsandongcheon and entered the system with So-woon.

So-un, who entered the system, first called together the scholars and military officers scattered throughout the Jejeong, Wonsak-guk, Jejwa, and Sobo, including Cheon-hu, Jang-saeng, and So-jang-saeng.

This was the first coordination meeting that So-Woon held after taking up his current position.

An Ja-gi was waiting outside the meeting room, observing the situation. Most of those who entered the conference room under his warm gaze were talking about the Imperial Brain.

The Imperial Brain was a kind of defensive wall that prevented the sages of the 6th realm from performing their duties. If the power of the Brain was withdrawn or the Brain was destroyed, all of the tens of thousands of soldiers led by An Ja-gi would be reborn as sages.

And when that happened, no one could guarantee whether Anjagi would be able to maintain her current attitude.

It was not unreasonable for the people of the Empire to have such concerns. An Ja-gi was, after all, an angel of Je-pung, and the soldiers who followed him were all those who followed Je-pung.

There was no way of knowing when or how he would suddenly turn into an enemy of the Empire.

And if by any chance that really happened, the empire would be finished.

The fact that Myungdangdongcheon’s brain was not properly destroyed was also causing people to feel uneasy. If their brain was left intact and only the Emperor’s brain was stopped, the soldiers of the 7th Heavenly Realm would have to go into battle as consuls.

Anjagi could easily deal with an army of that level on his own.

However, there was not enough time to persuade each of them individually. At least Anjagi knew that this was not a time for civil war.

Now, the priority was to prevent the fear of joining hands with past enemies and overtaking the 7th Heavenly Realm. Of course, this was only An Ja-gi’s thoughts, knowing the situation, and he could not persuade people with just words as a basis.

Since the news that An Ja-gi had led his army and entered Jongsandongcheon was delivered, the people of Jejeong had been in an uproar. The reason Jejeong’s civil servants and military officers gathered in Jejeong upon So-un’s word was simply to discuss how to deal with An Ja-gi and his troops.

There was no way anyone would have a favorable impression of An Ja-gi, who had driven tens of thousands of imperial soldiers to their deaths in the war.

So-woon cleared his throat and focused his gaze on her before quietly giving an order.

“Come on, Anjagi is waiting outside Daejeon. Let’s bring him in first.”

“Don’t sleep, go to Daejeon!”

At the shout of the minister assisting So-un, An Ja-gi adjusted his clothes, carefully entered the main hall, and immediately bowed to So-un.

“I, the sinful subject, bow down before His Majesty the Emperor, who reigns over the Suncheon Hongmong.”

The tattooed and armed men gathered in Daejeon stopped their commotion and stared blankly at Anjagi.

Anjagi was the leader of the four angels who assisted Je-pung. He, who could be called the enemy of Je-je, knelt before So-un, the master of Je-je, bowed his head, and called himself a sinner. This was an expression of Anjagi’s determination to break away from Je-pung.

“Get up.”

Only after So-woon allowed her to raise her head did An-ja-gi get up.

So-woon looked over the ministers gathered in Daejeon and said.

“Now, Angel. Our people of the Empire are worried that the Angel will betray us the moment Je-pung steps forward. Even the Heavenly Mother said so. The shell of Je-hol has crossed the Bukmyeonjangseong Fortress with a large army and will soon invade the Seventh Heavenly Realm. If the Angel suddenly betrays us in such a situation, the Empire will end.”

Anjagi cleared her throat slightly and answered seriously.

“God overestimated Je-pung’s abilities before. He mistook a sparrow for a phoenix and hovered around it. But now it’s different. I’ve met a true pearl. A pearl that is called Your Majesty. I know that even if I say this a hundred times, I won’t be able to change people’s minds. So… … .”

Anjagi bowed her head again and said.

“The tens of thousands of soldiers who are staying in Jongsan and following me will consider Jongsan as their last stronghold and block the fearful beings from entering beyond it. This will be the last time I enter the empire. Even if Jongsan is destroyed, the soldiers die, and I die in the end, the fearful beings will not be able to set foot in the empire. Even if I die, I will block them, so please trust in me and let me go.”

Everyone in Daejeon looked confused.

Anjagi was sincere. There was not a single lie in his words, which he spat out with a heart full of blood. He was truly willing to sacrifice his life, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers who followed him, to protect the empire.

So-woon looked at the ministers again and said.

“I will discard the imperial brain. And I will leave the imperial succession to the angel who knows.”

The people of the empire were silent. Even the high-ranking people, such as Gu Su-gyeong, Jwa Song-am, Jeok Seon-in, and Sang Cheon-gun, only exchanged glances with each other and did not dare to refuse So-woon’s orders.

So-Woon’s voice, as she stood up from her seat and continued to give orders, contained an irresistible power and the unique spirit of ruling over people.

“In this war, the Empire gives up defense.”

“All the scholars and military officers, go to Cheonbu-dongcheon and bring out the people. Master Su-gyeong, please stay here and take care of the internal affairs and gather the consuls scattered in Jejeong, Wonsak, and other countries. Then, when the scholars and military officers return, you can go straight to space.”

“We must not allow the cowardly ships to enter the 7th realm.”

“Anjagi will take care of the rest, so trust him.”

“Our families, our friends, our ancestors, and our ancestors remain in the Republic of Korea.”

“All who bravely accept death in battle will be admitted to the Pantheon. Keep that in mind and go into battle.”

The tattooists and warriors of Daejeon all bowed their backs and answered, “Yes.”

“Then move quickly.”

The people who escaped Daejeon according to So-Woon’s orders headed towards Cheonbu-Dongcheon in a hurry. They didn’t have much time to spare, as they had to get all the people out before the Gyeophoeseons came rushing in.

Prince Ok headed to Noeji with So-un’s edict. Shi Cho-hee, who received So-un’s edict from him, nodded.

“Okay, I’ll take back the power of the brain. But I won’t eliminate the brain. That won’t happen, but if Anjagi changes his mind, we need to have a way to deal with it.”

Prince Ok agreed with Shi Cho-hee’s opinion.

“Do as the poet wills.”

Shichohee poured all the brain fluid from her brain into her spirit world. Then she folded the entire brain into a small hexagon and pushed it inside her spirit world.

Just as she was finishing her brainstorming, something fell from the sky. She reached out and caught it as it fell from the sky. It was a shock.

From the sky, thunder was pouring down like snow.

In the distance, dark clouds filled with fear were rapidly approaching the palace. Not only the palace, but also the surrounding streams were showered with fear that had turned into snow.

Although the amount was not large, it was clear evidence that the celestial energy of the 7th realm was contaminated.

* * *

Gwanghandongcheon, the woman in the red skirt raised her head and looked at the flying azaleas in the sky. She shivered without realizing it because of the chill that she could feel.

“I’m so scared… … . Will I be able to climb to the Heavenly Palace through this fear? So-woon, when that time comes, will I be able to be with you who has fallen into the devil… … . Ah, Cheongcheong!”

At her shout, a girl who seemed to have a lively personality ran to her side.

“Go down the mountain and go to Jejeong. There you will find Uncheonje.”

The girl could feel her heart pounding.

‘Are you telling me to go see my father? I’ve heard people gossiping that I’m the child born between the Heavenly Emperor and the Master… … .’

The girl’s name was So-Cheong-Cheong. She was a child who almost became a human demon. So-Woon extracted the demonic power from her body in time, so she didn’t become a human demon, but her body still had the characteristics of a human demon.

Even though So-woon didn’t know much about the Inmaguisin, he left So-cheong-cheong in the care of the Inmaguisin O-dong.

Without any further explanation, Odong sent Socheongcheong to the court using a laurel branch.

Arriving outside the system, Socheongcheong stopped people and asked about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Emperor. While doing so, he encountered a handsome boy carrying a scroll on his back.

The boy said with a kind smile towards Socheongcheong.

“Your timing is perfect. The Emperor wasn’t here until recently. He was seriously injured and is now back to recuperate. I was also on my way to see him. Do you want to come with me?”

Socheongcheong took a liking to the boy who was kind to her even though she was meeting him for the first time.

“My name is Socheongcheong. What about you?”

The boy answered with a grin.

“You also have the surname So. My name is Sogyeop. The Heavenly Emperor you seek is my father.”

So-Cheong-Cheong, who was startled by the unexpected fact, muttered while staring at So-Gyeop.

“What you mean is, are you my brother?”

Sogeop also scratched his head with a surprised expression.

“There are rumors going around that my father enjoys women… … . There are also stories that I have brothers and sisters in the Dragon Clan. But no. It can’t be. The father I know is always busy doing something. He doesn’t have time to meet women. Aren’t you mistaken about something?”

At Sogyeop’s words, Socheongcheong showed an anxious expression.

“Well, honestly, I don’t know. People said that I was the child of my teacher, Odong, and Uncheonje. So I thought you were my older brother… … .”

Sogeop stood still and thought deeply about something.

“As the saying goes, ‘where there’s smoke, there’s no such thing as smoke without fire,’ and considering the rumors I’ve heard about my father, it’s not completely impossible. Let’s do this. Let’s go and ask my uncle. He’ll be able to confirm whether or not we’re blood brothers.”

The two headed straight to the Shinwangjeon. There, Dongbong Dong Shinwang was treating the sick.

Sogyeop simply explained why he had come to see him, and Dongbong looked at Sogyeop and Socheongcheong alternately with a suspicious look.

He soon drew blood from Sogyeop and Socheongcheong, and continued to look over the two people while moving his hands busily.

“Are you worried that the person you finally met might be your real sibling?”

The faces of both Sogyeop and Socheongcheong turned red at the same time.

“That’s not it. We just met.”

Dongbong snorted, “Huh?” and told me the results.

“You two are not siblings. You can get married. If you are going to have a wedding, you must call me.”

The two people ran away with their ears wide open.

Sogyeop glanced at Socheongcheong and coughed in vain. He felt a strange emotion towards Socheongcheong.

“My uncle likes to joke around. He used to say, ‘So-cheong-cheong.’ My father, Un-cheon-je, is currently repairing a broken bell. It will be difficult to talk until that work is finished, so why don’t we go around the island together? There are many things to see and eat in the island.”

Socheongcheong nodded.
