Episode 1117. The Road Is Not Visible (2)
So-Woon sensed that the situation was taking a strange turn and lifted the Hongmong Bell and the Chaos Bell to attack before the King of Reincarnation. However, the Hongmong Lotus connected to the Sea of ??Chaos had already sunk beneath the sea floor, their roots uprooted.
“If you sewed the first button wrong, the ending won’t be good. So Do-woo. This is the end.”
Two chaos bells blocked So-un’s Hongmong bell and chaos bell. Then the remaining three chaos bells rushed towards So-un.
So-woon tried to block the attack of the reincarnation king by scraping away the last of his strength, including Hong Mong-ryeon and Seoncheon Mot.
Dang!
With the first bell, Hong Mong-ryeon disappeared.
Dang!
With the second bell, the innate nail evaporated.
Dang!
The third bell sounded, and So-woon’s Eightfold Heavenly Mirror shattered and scattered into the air. The Hongmong divisions that formed the mirror returned to the energy of chaos, and So-woon was lifted into the air, caught in that energy of chaos.
The flesh and the spirit were slowly disappearing, transformed into a chaotic energy.
The King of Reincarnation burst into laughter as he watched So-un fall apart.
Hongmong paper was thrown to the bottom of the sea of ??chaos.
“So Do-woo, I said that as long as Hongmong does not disappear, you too will remain immortal. But what about now?”
As he said that, he put his finger between So-woon’s eyebrows.
“Do you still have Hongmong left?”
Behind So-woon’s back, his entire past unfolded. The So-woons in the cycle of reincarnation unfolded endlessly to the left, right, and left.
The King of Reincarnation lifted the Chaos Bell and shook it gently. Then, the Hongmong of the small clouds in the timeline transformed into the energy of chaos and eroded his original body and flesh.
“It is your defeat.”
The King of Reincarnation smiled as he put the Chaos Bell of So-un on his waist.
“After four years, you will be completely consumed by the energy of chaos and will cease to exist. Now, I ask you to spend the remaining time faithfully.”
The King of Reincarnation waved his hand as he spoke. So-un’s body escaped from the Sea of ??Chaos and headed towards the Seventh Heavenly Realm.
* * *
So-woon felt helpless and fell down, down. His body, his original spirit, was disintegrating and turning into a chaotic energy even at this moment. Without the strength to straighten his body, he fell to the seventh heavenly realm.
In front of that, the fight between Yoo Jo-saeng and Je-hol passed by.
Yoo Jo-saeng was simply killing Je-hol. However, every time Je-hol fell to his hands, the reincarnation ring would activate, reverting Je-hol to his original form.
So-woon watched their fight with a darkened face.
Without his help, Yoo Jo-saeng could not have achieved the union of the Five Wise Men. And without the union of the Five Wise Men, he could not have destroyed the reincarnation ring.
It was not Jehol who was holding Yoo Jo-saeng back. It was Yunhwe-bi-hwan and the reincarnation king.
The King of Reincarnation was like a cat playing with its prey, slowly pushing Yujoseng into a corner while keeping him alive. He could kill Yujoseng at any time.
“Now, there is nothing that can stop the flow of this world.”
So-woon muttered as he fell down to the throne.
The seventh heavenly realm was protected by Soun. That was why the Gyeophwahwa was not taking place, and the original energy and the great way of heaven and earth were returning to their original form and shaking off their energy.
In the midst of all this, So-Woon lost all of his power. Even his body was becoming chaotic. Likewise, the 7th Heavenly Realm was also going to become a place of calamity.
The fearful conversation would proceed very slowly, at a speed that people would not notice. Ordinary people would not notice that the Great Way of Heaven and Earth was weakening, and only a few sages would notice the end of the Seventh Heavenly Realm and struggle.
A small change, but that change will surely choke the 7th Heavenly Realm. And when the final moment comes, the 7th Heavenly Realm, like the other Heavenly Realms, will lose the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, lose its vitality, and disappear covered in fear.
Until that conclusion came, the 7th Heavenly Realm would remain the same as before. Perhaps, beings who would ascend to the Nine Heavens of the Dokyung would be born.
But now that So-woon has lost her powers, those things are meaningless.
So-un fell into the palace of the Emperor. The King of Reincarnation was truly a dragon. He was taking great care of So-un so that he would not fall to his death and would be able to survive until the appointed time.
So-woon sat down on the ground in silence and looked back at his body. He was truly dying. There was not a single shred of vitality left in his body.
The innate diary was being transformed into a chaotic energy, and even the original spirit was slowly becoming chaotic. The body was in a state where it would not be strange if it died at any time, with even its life force cut off.
The reason he was able to survive was because his body and soul were strong. But it was only a matter of time. In the near future, he would be reconciled with the energy of chaos and his existence would be erased from this world.
“Your Majesty has returned!”
One of the court ladies who discovered So-woon shouted and ran out of the palace.
So-Woon was unable to stop her and just smiled. Soon after, news of Emperor Yun Cheon-Je’s return to the system spread throughout the capital.
The first person to find So-un was Ji So-yo.
“Priest, if the priest comes back, does that mean everything is over?”
So-woon twitched her lips, but in the end she couldn’t say anything. Ji-so-yo, who accepted the silence as an affirmation, smiled brightly.
“So we don’t have to fight anymore? Has peace come?”
At that moment, Eungryong’s voice was heard from outside.
“Your Majesty has returned? What is the situation?”
Before his voice could even disappear, Baek-taek and Yeo-chuk’s voices were heard one after another.
“I suppose it must be good news that Your Majesty has returned alive?”
“I’ll tell you the obvious! Your Majesty has returned from a decisive battle with the King of Reincarnation. You don’t need me to tell you who won, right?”
People rushed into the palace all at once. So-woon hesitated, not daring to open her mouth as she looked at their smiling faces.
Ji So-yo shouted with a smiling face.
“Your Majesty has won. Peace has come to the world!”
Everyone who saw So-un, including Eung-ryong and Baek-taek, left the palace with excited expressions.
The news spread really fast. Hong-ra, Bong-ho, Sang-cheon-gun, and others came to see So-woon, but before they could meet him, they heard the news that he had defeated the King of Reincarnation and returned, and they cheered.
Even the ancient gods were so excited that they started dancing at the news.
The left-handed man came to see So-un. He had not yet ascended to the Nine Heavens of the Dogyeong and was concentrating on his training. From his white hair, he could feel the form of a dragon before stretching.
“You won?”
He asked that with a trembling voice. On So-woon’s behalf, Eung-ryong and the others answered him. Tears welled up in Joa Song-am’s eyes.
The people of the island were expressing their joy and spending several days in a festive mood. The lights were never turned off even late at night.
But that kind of commotion had nothing to do with So-woon. So-woon, who had sent everyone away and was left alone in Daejeon, had no choice but to grit his teeth.
“Four years. There are still four years left.”
A spark of hope bloomed in his eyes again.
“I have to somehow return this body, which is heading towards death, to its original place. I can do it. I will be able to do it. No, I have to do it!”
As he muttered like that, So-woon began to think of a way to capture his vitality.
The feast that began in the system barely came to an end after two weeks. People returned to their normal lives, but the emotions that arose from encountering true peace did not easily subside.
In a slightly excited atmosphere, people showed an optimistic attitude and moved forward, towards the light.
Even Zuo Song-am, who had devoted everything to his training, could not contain his joy and returned to his residence drunk. Thanks to being freed from the burden that had been weighing him down for so long, the shadows that had been hanging over his face had completely disappeared.
Although Eungryong wanted to drag Sowoon into the banquet and share the joy with her, he was deeply wounded in the battle with the King of Reincarnation, so Sowoon went into hiding and they could only enjoy it among themselves.
As So-woon’s time in the closed room became longer, people who worried about him began to appear one by one. This time, Ji So-yo was the first to go to Daejeon, where So-woon was practicing his closed room, and look for him.
But there was no So-un there. All there was was an old man with white hair.
“Where is the Heavenly Emperor?”
Ji So-yo asked the old man a question. But the old man just lowered his head and breathed heavily, not answering.
Ji So-yo tilted her head and looked around, but when she still couldn’t find So-woon, she tried to leave Daejeon.
“Soyo Sajeo.”
At that moment, a dying voice was heard behind her.
Ji So-yo stood still and turned her head with an expression of disbelief. The old man with white hair lying on the ground, he raised his head. His face was the face of an old man full of wrinkles, but for some reason it looked very familiar.
“Soyo Sajeo… … .”
As the old man’s voice was heard again, a confused aura flowed out from the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth of the old man in front of Ji So-yo.
“I lost. I lost.”
Ji So-yo could feel her hair turning white. But the next moment, she was naturally comforting the old man.
“Oh, it’s okay. The priest did nothing wrong. It’s not like winning or losing is everything.”
She held the old man in her arms and consoled him carefully.
“But this time it’s different. There’s no hope in sight.”
The old man raised his head and met Ji So-yo’s gaze as he spoke. Tears flowed from his eyes and seeped into the wrinkles covering his face. The emotions that had once begun to collapse poured out like a flood.
“I looked at all possibilities. But… … there was no hope.”
Ji So-yo didn’t know what to say or what to comfort her. After a while, she left Daejeon. She forced a smile so that the people she met wouldn’t worry.
I couldn’t tell anyone the secrets of the world I had heard from So-woon. It would only cause unnecessary confusion.
The secret that So-woon had told began to weigh on Ji-so-yo as she escaped the palace.
Ji So-yo, who had been biting her lips and hurried her steps, returned to her residence, locked the door, and only then did she burst into tears.
When her children came to find her after a long time, Ji So-yo greeted them calmly, completely wiping away any trace of her crying.
After some time, Ji So-yo sent people to search for the small Je-suk. After several months, they finally found the small Je-suk practicing closed-door training and reported to Ji So-yo.
The little prince went to find the palace and met So-woon, and after three months, he left Daejeon. He met Ji So-yo’s gaze and shook his head.
“Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. I cannot save him. The only way I can suggest is to find him, but to find him, I first need a being who has ascended to the throne.”
Saying so, the little squire prepared to leave.
“If I had enough time, I would go up to Jegyeong and look for him, but by then, Uncheonje would no longer be of this world.”
Ji So-yo entered the main hall and sat down facing So-woon. The air around So-woon was already thick with a sense of chaos, and So-woon’s body was as skinny as an old tree.
Ji So-yo left Daejeon with a frown on her face, unable to find the words to say.
