So-woon said, observing O-dong’s expression as he was deep in thought.
“I will never fight the reincarnation king again. Sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest place. As the saying goes, it is dark under the lamp. That is why I decided to make this place my refuge. In order to defeat the reincarnation king, another Taoist must be born in the seventh heaven.”
Odong trembled involuntarily as he recalled the reincarnation of the King of Reincarnation.
“Of course, even you, the new Taoist God, are no match for the Holy King. I don’t think the situation will change dramatically just because a new Taoist God is born.”
At those words, So-woon spoke with a serious expression.
“The reincarnation king has been exhausted from the continuous fighting. His body was split into fourteen parts during his fight with me, and he can’t return to his original form, that is, to one. Furthermore, he suffered a wound that he can’t easily shake off during his fight with Yoo Jo-saeng. If a new Taoist God is born, he will definitely be able to defeat him.”
Odong nodded. Then, the next moment, he looked at Sowoon and smiled seductively.
“The face of the lord leaving this place looked like a spring day. There is only one thing for a couple who have been reunited after a long time to do. Please do for me what you did for the lord.”
Young-young suddenly came to her senses and prepared to record the situation.
So-woon shouted in protest.
“Oh Dong-sa, Cheong-ra and I are a married couple. And just as you said, it’s been a long time since we last met. So it’s only natural that we do things that a married couple should do. Because of what happened with you in the past, I couldn’t face Cheong-ra. I can’t make that mistake again… … .”
Odong spread his magic sword and captured Sowoon’s mind and body.
“You said you were seriously injured? If you can escape my power, feel free to do so. The moment you escape my power, your lies will be exposed to the world.”
So-woon tried to resist. But she couldn’t let her plans get in the way already. In the end, So-woon spoke as if she had given up on everything.
“Really, I have no strength.”
Yeong-yeong was excited by the situation where So-woon was surrendering, so she worked hard with her brush. However, O-dong took possession of her mind and body, and a fantasy unfolded before her eyes.
By the time Young-young came out of her fantasy, O-dong was adjusting his clothes.
Young-young ran wild for a long time.
“Hide again, hide again! So-woon, show me a little bit of your manly side, and don’t be passive and get caught up in the skirts of women like this every time.”
After Odong left, Yeongyeong scolded Sowoon, who was slowly organizing her clothes.
“Young-Young, I was the one who was forced to do it. I’m also upset.”
At that moment, the voice of the resident was heard. For some reason, there was a hint of anger in that voice.
“So Do-woo, you’re still meeting wives even though you’re pretending to be dead. I’m stuck in my own world like this, not even meeting my wife or children.”
“Do, Do-hyung, aren’t we both sacrificing our freedom and our present for the future of the Sun Universe? What do those women mean? The beings of the Sun Universe come first.”
Yoo Jo-saeng growled at So-woon’s excuse.
“I wonder who on earth is thinking of the sentient beings of the universe. You look happy, unlike me who is lonely.”
Yeong-yeong nodded vigorously as if agreeing with his words. So-woon, who was intimidated by the two men’s joint attack, spoke in a crawling voice.
“I didn’t even reveal with my own mouth that I was alive… … More importantly, Yoo Do-hyung, is now the time to be flirting with those women! You are a god. You shouldn’t let such trivial things cloud your vision.”
“So, where on earth could you say something like that… … .”
At the moment when Yoo Jo-saeng could no longer stand it anymore and was about to run towards So-woon, Shi-cho-hee entered So-woon’s world.
So-woon, Yoo Jo-saeng, and even Yeong-yeong all kept their mouths shut. Yoo Jo-saeng gritted his teeth as if he was upset that he couldn’t respond properly and returned to his own world.
“In the meantime, another woman comes to visit. It’s going to be exciting.”
After confirming that there was no one around, Shichohee bowed toward Sowoon’s grave.
“My lord, I have been awakened to fear since I was a child, when I was immersed in the mind. Since then, I have watched people struggling to escape from fear. They created a celestial world in their minds to escape from fear.”
She sat down in front of So-woon’s grave and muttered to herself absentmindedly.
“Even after I married my husband and spent time with him, I didn’t realize what those times meant. I couldn’t understand the love that a couple shares. I just thought about running away from it. But later, when I saw the child born and growing up, I was able to feel something for the first time. I, who had always been running away from something, couldn’t find a place to lean on even when I reached the eighth realm.”
“True fear struck, and I realized that I had not been looking for my own celestial realm. I had simply been running away. From my mind, in a direction completely different from my celestial realm. But my husband, his celestial realm, was always with me. It did not go away even when I looked away, but was always right under my feet… … .”
“It was only then that I realized how important the people I had abandoned were to me. Fear, and what you, my husband, meant to me. I had already surpassed my own celestial realm and was longing for something beyond it.”
“I realized that fact… too late.”
She shed tears silently.
“I want to go back in time. To the time when I first met you. If only I could hold on to you and never let you go again… … .”
So-woon was biting her lip beyond the fog. Yeong-yeong whispered in So-woon’s ear.
“Ex-wife, So-woon. Words don’t look back on the grass that has been cut off, a broken mirror doesn’t return to its original state, and spilled water can’t be gathered up again. You’ve already done something unexpected twice. If more people find out about your survival, Yoo Jo-saeng won’t leave you alone, right?”
So-woon said.
“No matter what, Si-cho-hee and I are already married. And she is crying so sadly… How can we just leave her alone?”
He sighed.
“I look tough on the outside, but I’m actually very soft-hearted. When I see a woman crying, my heart splits into three, no, five parts.”
“Wake up!”
Yeong-yeong grabbed So-woon’s neck and shook her from side to side.
In the world of Yoo Jo-saeng, Yoo Jo-saeng, the master of the world, was polishing the halved reincarnation ring and waiting for an opportunity to smash So-woon’s head.
At that time, it was fortunate that Eungryong and Baektaek had come to Sowoon’s world and that Shichohee had stopped crying. Yoo Josaeng clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed and took away the reincarnation ring.
Shichohee hurriedly left, and Eungryong and Baektaek, who stood in front of Sowoon’s grave in her place, chattered about their meeting with Sowoon. The expensive liquor they brought to offer to Sowoon all ended up in their stomachs.
Not long after they left, Ji So-yo came looking for So-woon.
She stood in front of So-un’s grave, looking as fresh and elegant as ever, and spent her time quietly.
Young-young slapped So-woon on the cheek.
“Look at me! Look at me, not that woman, and hold on tight! So-woon! Remember your purpose!”
So-woon fought against the desire to show herself in front of Ji So-yo and recalled the scenery of the northern castle filled with firecrackers.
Ji So-yo left behind a half-eggshell on So-woon’s grave without saying anything.
As So-un was carefully examining the eggshell she had left behind, a young grand master dressed in neat clothes approached his tomb. He made a complicated expression as he looked at the eggshell offered to the tomb.
“My mother never told me who my real father was.”
The young emperor, Ji Cheong-eo, muttered in a low voice.
“Seeing that my mother has offered my eggshell here… … . I finally know who my father is. My other brothers will be happy when they learn of your existence. They will be proud.”
Yeong-yeong stopped hitting So-woon’s cheek and tilted his head. Looking at Ji-cheong-eo again, Yeong-yeong shouted in disbelief.
“Brothers? What the hell are you talking about!”
So-woon looked like she didn’t understand English.
“I, I don’t know either!”
After Jicheong-eo left, Sogyeop and Socheong-cheong went to find So-un’s grave.
“Father, I plan to marry Cheongcheong. I came here today to tell you that.”
So-woon felt complicated. Normally, he should have been by his side watching his children establish a family and make a name for themselves. But now… … he couldn’t even show himself to his children.
* * *
After that, the line of people coming to find So-un continued endlessly.
Bangchukji and Sawiyeon shed tears and lamented that they could no longer compare Soun and Inbeop.
King Heonwon Seonghwang, King Seonghwang Woo, and others also visited Soun and expressed their sorrow.
Time passed quickly, and the Wonsak Kingdom’s learning system spread far and wide. An environment was created where talented people who had been hiding in each Dongcheon and small world could demonstrate their abilities.
Even in the era of Jejeol, it was difficult to become a consul. It was unthinkable for ordinary people to learn the Buddhist scriptures and become a sage, let alone learn Jejeol’s Jejeol learning.
But now things were different. Those who wanted power, those who wanted to rise up, could become strong as long as they had a certain level of qualifications, reason, and the will to rise up.
If you wanted to become something more than ordinary, you could always go to the Imperial Palace and look at the great books placed there.
The tens of thousands of great books, including those from other universes, were enough to satisfy almost everyone’s taste.
The existence of Jehol also played an important role in the people becoming stronger. Jehol, and the existence and threat of the reincarnation kings, were making people pursue strength.
However, unlike Jehol, who often appeared in front of people, the Reincarnation King always hid himself except when he was fighting against powerful enemies of the Je level.
Even in the midst of all this, no new strong player appeared to ascend to the Ten Heavenly Kings. Ten thousand years passed like that.
