Episode 1108. Past in Reincarnation (1)
After that, they headed to the edge of the universe without much conversation and walked into the seven prides that were revealing themselves next to the aura of chaos.
The reincarnation king and his five clones were each sitting in different positions, healing their bodies with the chaos bell.
The three of them, Black and White Reincarnation and Mission Reincarnation, approached the King of Reincarnation and knelt down. Seven heads sprouted from the King of Reincarnation’s neck, but none of his arms remained, leaving only the bare shoulders.
The sixteen-headed, eighteen-armed King of Reincarnation had pulled out nine of his clones at the same time, causing all of his arms to disappear.
The King of Reincarnation shuddered when he saw that the three avatars had returned. Then, the three avatars of Samyeong, Shin, and Ma returned to his body.
Jehol and his clones, including Amanju, who came with him, bowed deeply to the King of Reincarnation.
The King of Reincarnation raised his hand and ordered them to rise from their seats.
“I gave you my divine power. I thought that with my divine power’s help, you would be able to defeat So-un and destroy the Seventh Heavenly Realm. However, you turned out to be more useless than I thought.”
Jehol lowered his head and said nothing.
The King of Reincarnation continued speaking.
“Of course, I can’t blame you. It’s also because I underestimated that guy, So-woon. He used that power in reverse through a small hole in my divine power, and eventually created a cycle of reincarnation with countless orders. He cultivated his power within it. Fortunately, I realized this fact before it was too late. I will heal this body over the next few years. And at the same time, I plan to give you harmony.”
As he said this, the King of Reincarnation looked at the clones of Jehol. After a while, he shook his head with a dissatisfied expression.
Jehol was born with the body of a pure spirit, the Great Emperor of the Ancients, so his physical body was comparable to Jehondon’s. The problem was that after being captured by Jejeol, he regained his freedom by tearing his body into pieces.
In the process, Jehol’s own body became an empty shell.
Among Jehol’s blood relatives, there were some powerful people of the same level, such as Baekridok, Eomanju, and Doyeokgi, but most of the others were just mediocre people who did not fit the criteria of the reincarnation king.
There were also clones of the ancient gods, but it took them too long to become strong.
The fact that there were over a million clones, all of whom had mastered various magical arts and supernatural powers, was one of their strengths. However, the problem was that most of the clones did not achieve much success on the paths they each pursued.
Even most of those magic and supernatural powers were duplicated.
In the judgment of the King of Reincarnation, there was no need for Jehol to create more than three thousand clones, since there were only three thousand great paths in the celestial world.
The King of Reincarnation rubbed his temples as if he had a headache and said:
“Jesuk’s brain, the coincidence at Miracheonji Tower, and even my supernatural powers. Even with all of that, I was defeated. I don’t understand.”
Jehol was silent again.
As if his anger had subsided a little after spitting out his harsh words, the King of Reincarnation spoke in a softer voice than before.
“I plan to use my supernatural powers to send your clones beyond reincarnation. As you continue to train there, you will eventually be born as beings who ascend to the Nine Heavens of the Taoist Realm. I wonder how many of them will appear.”
Jehol, who had thought that he would be punished, smiled brightly when the King of Reincarnation gave him another chance.
“Thank you, Master!”
The King of Reincarnation took out the Reincarnation Ring and shook his head.
“No need for gratitude. After the training is over, you must use the Innate Diary to absorb all the clones and return to your original form. And you must deal with Yoo Jo-saeng. So that I can defeat So-woon with peace of mind.”
Jehol’s face hardened.
“Hey, are you a nurse?”
The King of Reincarnation lifted the Bi-hwan above his head. Then, Je-hol’s shell and all of his million clones were sucked into the Bi-hwan. The King of Reincarnation’s voice faintly rang in Je-hol’s ears.
“No matter how strong So-woon becomes, it’s impossible to completely heal Yoo Jo-saeng’s wounds. Don’t worry, even if you try hard, you’ll end up dealing with a half-baked Yoo Jo-saeng.”
The Jehols each entered a different cycle of time and space and began to cultivate.
Since the inner space-time of the Bihwan was a separate space from the outer space-time, if the King of Reincarnation simply used his power, he could make the time inside the Bihwan pass several times faster than reality.
However, since the King of Reincarnation was wounded, he did not force himself to do anything and instead made time pass quickly enough to begin healing his body.
* * *
At the same time, So-woon led Yoo Jo-saeng and his small world together to the court. So-woon placed the small world near the court where the innate god was, and immediately began to treat Yoo Jo-saeng’s body.
The young man was greatly moved by that news.
“How can you come to me first, of all people? I am ashamed of myself in the past for not trusting Do-woo and abandoning the government. Uncheonje, you are my lifelong benefactor!”
As he watched Yujo-saeng excessively praising So-woon, So-woon thought back to the reincarnations he had passed through. In the tens of thousands of reincarnations, So-woon had never thought of saving Yujo-saeng except for the first few times.
So-woon did not dare to say that fact and just silently focused on the treatment.
“Since your understanding of the Great Way of Reincarnation is not that deep, even if you do your best, you will only be able to cure half of it.”
So-woon moaned softly as she said that.
“But it will take less time. It will take about seven years for the King of Reincarnation to completely heal his wounds. Do-hyung’s wounds will heal a year faster than that, in just six years.”
The nurse’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the quickly healing wound.
“Then, it seems that the two of us will join forces to defeat the King of Reincarnation at a moment when he never expected it.”
So-woon let out a sly laugh.
“As long as the King of Reincarnation exists in the Seventh Heavenly Realm, he will not be able to escape my sight. No matter where he hides, I will be able to find him. He may think that he will fight me in ten years, but we can attack him unexpectedly and in an unexpected place four years before that.”
The nurse burst into laughter.
“And this time, I can finally put an end to the reincarnation king.”
The boy who had been smiling so proudly suddenly hardened his face and looked up at the sky.
“Then what will the Great Wall of the Universe do? Didn’t most of the inhabitants of the Seventh Heavenly Realm go to the gate of the Heavenly Realm beyond?”
So-Woon also looked up at the sky with a hazy expression.
“In the last reincarnation, I killed Je-Hol and defeated all my enemies except for the reincarnation king. However, Je-Hon-Dun did not return alive. This is because no one who reached the Ten Heavens of the Way of the Heavens appeared.”
“what?”
So-woon was speaking in a whisper, so Yoo Jo-saeng couldn’t hear her words. So-woon shook her head, shaking off her feelings of sadness.
“No. I suddenly remembered something from the past.”
The reincarnation that So-woon spoke of was the one that gave So-woon the greatest shock out of all the tens of thousands of reincarnations.
In that reincarnation, So-Woon used every means and method at his disposal to defeat the reincarnation king’s clones one by one. In the process, he even used Yoo Jo-Saeng’s life as bait to lure out the reincarnation king’s clone.
In this way, So-Woon succeeded in reducing the power of the Reincarnation King by defeating some of his clones, including Cheon-Do, Shin-Do, Mado, Sam-Im, Ju-Gwang, Woo-Cheong, and Heo-Gong.
The reincarnation king was suddenly frightened by So-un’s unexpected propaganda and went into hiding, postponing the final battle with him. The 7th immortal realm, free from the interference of the reincarnation king, became So-un’s world.
So-un defeated Je-hol and cut down all enemies who threatened the safety of the celestial world.
The 7th Heavenly Realm entered an era of unprecedented peace. Undaunted by the threat of enemies, the Heavenly Realm grew much larger than the other Heavenly Realms that came before it, but even that 7th Heavenly Realm eventually walked the path of destruction.
So-Woon went to the 8th Heavenly Realm with the people of the Heavenly Realm and spent millions of years there, but there were few talented people who could ascend to the Ten Heavenly Realms of the Do-Gyeong.
In the end, So-woon, who was left alone after losing his life to the last person, was overcome with despair as he watched the celestial world crumble under the weight of the rapidly accumulating fear.
Although they did not hesitate to use even dark means to overthrow the King of Reincarnation and defeat the enemies who threatened their safety, no one appeared who could truly save the world.
With the disappearance of the powerful enemies, the King of Reincarnation and Jehol, the celestial world’s Taoist methods and supernatural powers ceased to develop.
Because there was no need to.
The reason why magic and supernatural powers could become stronger over the course of over eight million years of history was because there were strong people who suited the times.
That is why, in the peaceful future world of the heavens, a strong person from the Ten Heavenly Kings could not appear.
Even So-Woon was unable to raise his level any further and just kept marking time. Even Kendo, his last hope, could not even cross the threshold of the Ten Heavenly Kingdoms.
So-Woon, overcome with despair, did not even think about fighting the King of Reincarnation, Je-Hool, in the several reincarnations that followed, but simply accepted death, wasting his reincarnations in vain.
But eventually, he regained his senses and began to wander towards true victory.
If there was one thing that So-woon realized in that reincarnation, it was that he was not the one who could save the world. Of course, So-woon could defeat the King of Reincarnation and cut down the enemies that threatened the celestial world, but it was impossible for him to truly save the people of the celestial world.
The only ones who could save people were themselves.
“So, what should we do with those who have already crossed the gates of the celestial world and those who will cross in the future?”
The nurse interrupted So-woon’s recollection midway and asked a question.
“What are the people above you planning to do?”
So-Woon turned her gaze towards the sky and spoke in a monotonous voice.
“Do-hyung, the battle between us and the King of Reincarnation has not yet been concluded. So there is no time to worry about anything else. Those on the path of the Biseung… … will be able to survive on their own.”
So-woon continued speaking hesitantly.
“Since the brain of the famous place has been destroyed, all the people of the seventh heavenly realm will have been reborn as sages. It would be right to leave the war to them… ….”
The nurse was silent.
