Episode 1088. All Under the Sky
So-woon climbed up to the castle tower and looked out over the friendly camp.
The 6th Line Forces, their numbers had been reduced to half of what they had been at first. And even in the midst of all this, far away on the battlefield, a terror was brewing.
The corpses of friendly soldiers and the corpses of the Cowardly Fleet were tangled together and rolling on the ground. The fires on the battlefield never went out.
So-Woon couldn’t help but panic at the more serious battlefield situation than he had expected.
“So, going to the 8th line was the best choice.”
Jeso approached Sowoon and said.
“The 8th realm is a world under the protection of Je Chaos. To enter there, you must cross the gate.”
The gate of the celestial world, So-Woon also knew of its existence. Didn’t he visit there to see off the saints, including Hyeonwon Seonghwang?
“It’s difficult to attack that one door.”
Anjagi stood behind Sowoon and spoke.
“It means that it is hundreds of times easier to protect that one gate than to protect the entirety of the Imperial and Seventh Realms. The Eighth Realm is our last remaining hope. Your Majesty has judged it that way and is sending the surviving people of Gujin to the Eighth Realm.”
Jeso patted So-woon on the shoulder, taking a peek at the expression on his face.
“The competition for the position of Emperor of Heaven is not over yet. So you are not yet the Emperor of the Seventh Heavenly Realm. You only need to worry about the Empire. If you can save the people of the Empire instead of the people of the other Heavenly Realms, that is enough for me.”
So-woon raised her head and met Je-so’s gaze.
“Father, I inherited everything from you in my previous life.”
As she said that, So-woon moved her gaze outside the palace to the Dongcheon River.
“All the land under the sky, all the heavens, and all who live on them are my people.”
So-woon’s gaze turned to the distant, mysterious place called Noeji that covered the sky of Cheonbu-dongcheon. He could see the figures of the monsters densely packed around it. They were probably the guardians of Noeji, this heavy instrument.
Then, So-woon caught the snow passing in front of him. The snow melted in the heat of his hand and transformed into the energy of heaven and earth.
The vital energy of heaven and earth was transformed into a frightening energy by the fearful spirits, and the vital energy of heaven and earth that had turned into snow was scattering. If this continued, as others had said, not only the kingdom but also the entire seventh heavenly realm would turn into a frightening energy and collapse.
“No angel!”
So-woon suddenly raised her voice.
“I will go and destroy the brain of the famous place. In the meantime, go to the other heavens and rescue as many people as possible. Then, transport them safely to the 8th heaven.”
Anjagi looked at Sowoon with a puzzled expression.
“Are you telling me to give up guarding Jongsan? The moment I leave, the safety of the empire… … .”
So-woon answered in a calm voice.
“Jongsan is the gateway to the realm of the king. If it’s a narrow gateway like this, I can easily guard it by myself. But my priority is to guard the other Dongcheon and prevent its energy from becoming a threat.”
Anjagi nodded. Jeso stepped forward and said.
“Then I will let you be with me.”
So-woon shook her head.
“Your Highness, please don’t worry and just wait for my return here at Jongsan. Even if a fight breaks out, I will take care of it.”
Jeso smiled as he saw Sowoon’s confident attitude.
“If that is what you want.”
After giving that order, So-Woon headed to the famous place, Noeji, with Hyeon-Cheol Jong. While doing so, he took out the shadow of the original spirit from his body and placed it inside Hyeon-Cheol Jong. After repeating that action a few times, So-Woon’s unique imprint was engraved on Hyeon-Cheol Jong again.
He had to win this fight. Defeat was unacceptable.
* * *
The outskirts of the 7th sphere.
The King of Reincarnation had returned to a hidden place that was covered in the energy of chaos emitted by Jehondon, a place whose inside could not be seen from the outside.
The aura of chaos surrounding the place was thicker than before. This was because Jehondon’s death was approaching. The great swords remaining in his body were breaking apart and turning into aura of chaos, leaking out.
Jehondon was a being that was reborn as Shima after absorbing the energy of chaos from the corpse of the Great Emperor who fell into the Sea of ??Chaos. Most of his power was made up of chaos. As he approached death, his realm was about to return to the Sea of ??Chaos.
The King of Reincarnation vomited blood, clicked his tongue at the same time, and began to use the power of the Great Way of Reincarnation to heal his body.
At that moment, the face of Je Chaodon emerged from beyond the aura of chaos and looked at the King of Reincarnation.
“Are you injured? It’s a pretty serious injury. I’ll have to close it down for at least a dozen years and focus on healing.”
The reincarnation king snorted and sprouted a new head.
“So what do you want me to do? The horde of kalpas has already covered the 7th heavenly realm. The small worlds are disappearing one by one. The destruction of the virtuous world is already imminent. It is only a matter of time before the energies and great paths disappear. The 7th heavenly realm will not last eight million years before it disintegrates into kalpas and disperses. When that happens, you will naturally disappear as well.”
My confusion burst into laughter.
“Yes, the disappearance of the Seventh Heavenly Realm means the disappearance of a secret realm for me. I will also become weaker. Even if you do nothing about it, after about five million years, I will truly die. Even knowing that, you used your power to accelerate the entire process.”
The King of Reincarnation was observing the cycle of reincarnation. Countless faces appeared and disappeared above him.
“Even if I hadn’t touched him, Jehol would have eventually released the Fear Lines. That was the trajectory carved into the cycle of reincarnation and the predetermined fate. He was born with the fate of leading the Seventh Heavenly Realm to destruction and you to true death. I just gave Jehol a little push on the back.”
Jehondon burst into laughter again.
“I don’t want to bring up that story and fight you again. Your Majesty, you fought with these two strangers, Yoo Jo-saeng and So-un. Was that fight included in the future scene you saw in the past? Just how many new possibilities have emerged in the future?”
The King of Reincarnation pretended not to care about Jehondon’s words and secretly looked into the future. However, his Great Sword of Reincarnation had been deeply wounded by Yoo Jo-saeng, so he could not see the future properly.
As if looking outside through a foggy window, I could vaguely see that a new turning point had appeared in the future, twelve years from now, and that the future had branched out because of it.
“Sowoon is still in my grasp. And he is also wounded and cannot take action or make choices that will change the future. The future has not changed.”
The reincarnation king muttered in a confident voice. Jehondon looked at the reincarnation king and said.
“Did you really see the future?”
The face of the King of Reincarnation darkened. He did not answer. No, he could not.
Jehondon looked at the expression of the reincarnation king and smiled again.
“It’s true that you can’t see it now. Once all the wounds on your body are healed, you will be able to see it again like before. No, rather, you will see too many possibilities, so you won’t be able to predict the exact future. The wisdom you once had has already been obscured by people.”
The King of Reincarnation became angry at Jehondon’s vague words.
“Shut up and back off! I need some treatment.”
The King of Reincarnation’s tone became fierce. Jehondon sank beyond the aura of chaos, as if he did not want to argue with the King of Reincarnation.
“Do you remember what So Dou told you when he returned from the Space Graveyard? He said that if you could only ascend to the Seven Heavens of the Taoist Realm, he would be able to show you supernatural powers that you could never imagine. That day may come sooner than you think.”
The King of Reincarnation remained silent as if he had not heard Jehondon’s last words, and focused on reorganizing the Great Way of Reincarnation.

“Ajeda, Ajeda is back!”
The fearful camp of Jongsandongcheon.
Baekridok shouted as he spotted the rugged bell in the distance and Soun riding on it.
“What is that species’ appearance? Doesn’t it look similar to my Jibo?”
He was talking about the Manhwabun Line. The marks that the reincarnation king had carved into the Hyeoncheol Bell, and because they had been hastily straightened out, they had not been properly leveled, so the surface of the bell was bumpy.
The thief burst into laughter.
“Now that Aeje has come, it is time to use my newly acquired supernatural power of reincarnation.”
Je-suk Jin-shin appeared behind the Do-yeok-gi.
“Aeje will definitely be aiming for the famous place, Noji. So there is no need to move separately. Just wait here.”
At that time, So-woon moved under the bell of Hyeon-cheol. Compared to the huge bell, he was so small that he was barely visible.
Some of the fearful vortices surrounding Noeji flew towards where Hyuncheol Jong was. It seemed like they were planning to attack Jong as is, but the moment the fearful vortices and Jong got close enough, their bodies turned into living bodies covered in flesh instead of fearful vortices.
The sages who returned to their respective celestial realms looked at the giant bell passing by them with expressions of bewilderment.
The same scene was repeated after that. There was no fear of the serpent blocking So-woon’s path. The body of the fear of the serpent that would rot and crumble just by getting close to the bell, and even the Holy Spirit, had returned to its original form.
Hyuncheol Jong quickly crossed the enemy lines without causing much of a fuss. In the place where the bell passed, only the sages remained with expressions of not understanding the current situation.
Soon, Je-suk, Baek-ridok, and Do-yeok-gi blocked the path of Hyeon-cheol Jong and So-un, who had reached the famous place. Baek-ridok looked at So-un and smiled.
“Aeje, have you been innocent all this time?”
So-woon also smiled.
“Thanks to your concern, I am somehow holding on. In addition, the King of Reincarnation has remade the bell, making it even stronger than before.”
When he heard that, Je-suk Jin-shin looked at the bell with renewed eyes. In his head, half of Je-suk’s brain and the cartoon branch line were housed.
Currently, all of Jehol’s clones were following the instructions of Jesuk Dae-neun. It was safe to say that all of Jehol’s consciousness was concentrated in one Jesuk Dae-neun.
At the same time, Je-suk Dae-noe continued to study the great way of reincarnation that he had received from the King of Reincarnation. Thanks to this, their great way of reincarnation had a completely different aspect than when they had first received it.
Baekridok burst into laughter again and shouted.
“Aeje, we knew you were going to destroy the Myungdang Brain. That’s why we’ve been waiting here for you. Now, if you want to destroy it, go ahead and destroy it. We won’t stop you.”
Then he stepped aside. It seemed as if he really didn’t care if So-woon attacked Noeji.
Je-suk Jin-shin and Do-yeok-gi also stepped aside to make way for So-woon.
“What are you thinking? Je-hol, you don’t really think I’ll do as you wish, do you?”
As So-woon turned around while saying that, Hyun-cheol Jong leaned towards Noeji and trembled. The sound of the bell spread in all directions. The terrifying energy contained within shook Noeji and Myeongdang-dongcheon.
In Myeongdang-dongcheon, and in Noeji, large and small explosions occurred. The central energy that had been controlling the energy of the 7th heavenly realm was thus meaninglessly reduced to a handful of ash.
