Episode 1133. The Seven Princes of Chaos

Yeong-yeong approached the bronze lantern and her eyes sparkled. Her gaze was fixed on the small, much smaller lantern burning inside the lantern.

“Hoo, hoo!”

Yeong-yeong circled the lantern, making strange noises, then looked back at So-woon.

“Look, I’m a giant in front of this kid. He’s cute!”

So-woon’s eyes were drawn first to the extraordinaryness of the lantern rather than its cuteness. The oil that allowed the lantern to live was made of the soul of the already dead universe.

And that lantern carrying the light was called a constellation. If we were to judge by its energy alone, that lantern was comparable to the spirit.

Moreover, the lamp, like Yeong-yeong, was a being that could leave various pieces of knowledge on its body.

Like Yeong-yeong, it is a being that has the role of leaving all the legends and knowledge to future generations. The difference is that Yeong-yeong is a book that records So-un’s life, so if it mainly records So-un’s Hongmong part, this lantern is a being that continues the legend of the myth.

That’s probably why they share the name of myth.

As she watched the similar yet different beings approach, So-woon could feel her headache growing.

The lantern, which introduced itself as Shinhwa, grew angry at Young-young’s words teasing his small size and increased the intensity of its flames. The flames, which soon grew to a similar size to Young-young, roared.

“Who said it was small? Compare it again!”

Instead of comparing the lights and height, Young-Young took out a snack from her bosom and held it out to him.

“Come on, I was just joking. You didn’t take it seriously, did you? This is delicious. Do you want some?”

Shinhwa, who could no longer be angry as Youngyoung approached him so skillfully, obediently accepted the snack from her.

Yeong-yeong was smiling brightly.

“I know you. I’ve seen you before. The statue of the Three Kings of Cheonbu-dongcheon, the one engraved on it, isn’t that you? My name is Yeong-yeong. Do you want to call me sister? If you want, you can call me sister.”

So-woon shook her head and left the two kids to chat as she entered the Hall of Chaos.

At that moment, he realized that there was another being besides Jehondon, who was emitting a terrifying aura within the chaos battle. The reason he had not noticed its presence until he got close to the battle was because its presence was too faint.

Even now, I couldn’t properly perceive his presence unless I concentrated my mind. I felt a familiar yet unfamiliar energy from him, something difficult to describe in words.

As I approached the Hall of Chaos, I heard Je Chaos’s voice.

“So, you came back after solving all the problems? I was looking for you all along.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar yet unfamiliar door creaked.

“Right after I left Dou, I went to the Sea of ??Chaos. There, I saw countless universes turn into a handful of bubbles and seep into the Sea of ??Chaos. And at the end of it, I realized what Chaos is. Even so, I couldn’t move forward.”

The moment he heard that door, images of the universe turning into bubbles, the sea of ??chaos that contained that universe, and the universe accepting destruction and being reborn appeared one after another before So-woon’s eyes.

So-Woon, who had been suffering from the flashing light, shook his head roughly and returned to reality. A look of shock appeared on his face.

The short door of the other person contained endless years. It was not just a simple door.

If So-Woon had not been able to unite his past and future selves and awaken their powers, he would have been trapped in the endless time that the door had just shown him, losing himself.

So-woon couldn’t help but be agitated.

At present, his realm had already reached the level of Jehondon. No, perhaps he had surpassed it. His path was so powerful that even he was surprised.

However, the person who was talking to Jehondon, the Taoist priestess of Soun, at his door was shaking incessantly.

So-woon felt endless curiosity towards the person who was with Je-hon-don.

The other person continued talking.

“I couldn’t find the answer. That’s why I left the sea of ??chaos and headed toward the infinite nothingness. It was an extremely dangerous place. There was no such thing as material, and even if something were to come into existence, it would quickly be destroyed by the nothingness. I myself was almost destroyed by the nothingness several times.”

The moment the being stopped talking and took a breath, a desolate universe, or rather, nothingness, unfolded before So-woon’s eyes. There was really nothing there. There was only darkness.

“I crossed the void and glimpsed universes torn apart by the void. And in one of those universes, I encountered a man.”

The story continues.

“The moment I saw him, I could feel it. He was the answer I was looking for. I was able to learn a lot from him. And finally, on my way back from getting the answer, I found you, the helper, and came here.”

I heard a voice full of joy in my confusion.

“So, what was the answer you found? Can you tell me?”

The other party was silent. So-woon tilted his ear toward Dae-jeon. Before he knew it, he was absorbed in the conversation between the two.

And then the other person opened his mouth.

“Primitive.”

The moment the door opened, So-woon’s sword vibrated violently. And countless scenes unfolded before his eyes, as if he was looking through a kaleidoscope, making his eyes hurt.

Everything So-Woon had seen and heard so far, everything he had acquired as knowledge, tens of thousands of types of great swords spun rapidly as if they were caught in a whirlpool, making a strange sound.

And So-un began to fly towards the end of those great swords.

The end of all great paths, although it is expressed in words as the end, in reality it is only a part of the realm that can be ultimately reached.

At the end of the great road that stretched for thousands and tens of thousands of years, there stood a whitish shadow of a person made of great roads.

The ceaseless ringing of the bell shook So-woon’s head. Her eyes flashed and she felt nauseous. Nevertheless, So-woon focused her gaze on the scenery unfolding before her eyes.

And a look of horror came over his face.

At the end of the great thieves he controlled, even including Hongmong, there existed a shadow of the same being, a part of it.

So-woon could feel her mouth getting dry.

The moment the unidentified being in the Hall of Chaos put the word ‘primitive’ in his mouth, he saw the end of Hongmong’s great sword.

I felt the path ascending. And new paths appeared in my mind. But at the end of those paths, there was a shadow of a person just like the other paths.

As So-woon was about to break free from the illusion shown by the door called ‘Primitive’, a young man walked out of the chaos room.

He was dressed in plain clothes, but had deep eyes that gave no insight into his inner thoughts. The only unusual thing about him was that he had a small scar on his forehead.

It wasn’t like a third eye. It was definitely a real wound.

And although his appearance was clearly that of a young man, the aura he gave off was worn and faded, like that of an old man who had seen the world.

The man’s gaze shifted to So-woon. After a moment, an unexpected expression of joy and surprise appeared on the young man’s face.

“Hongmong!”

The moment he put Hongmong in his mouth, the end of the sword once again unfolded before So-woon’s eyes. However, it was different from before. This time, what he saw was the end of Hongmong’s sword. However, unfortunately, there was no shadow of ‘primitiveness’ at the end of Hongmong’s sword.

So-woon returned to reality feeling an inexplicable sense of regret.

“You have inherited the tradition of my master. Moreover, you have succeeded in going further than him. My master will surely be very pleased when he sees you, my lord.”

So-woon bowed to the young man and greeted him, regardless of her will.

At that moment, a different scene unfolded before So-woon’s eyes. The River of Chaos, Hongmong Palace standing next to it, and an old tree standing in the palace. Someone was buried underneath it.

Hongmong doesn’t die, the city just falls first.

When So-woon returned to reality, the young man was already crossing the sea of ??chaos. He disappeared from sight in an instant.

So-woon shook her head and headed towards where Je-hon-don was.

In the center of Daejeon, Jehondon was staring blankly into space as if he had fallen into a door called ‘Primitive’. He must have been looking at the end of the chaos road.

The unidentified young man, the shock his door gave to Jehondon, I could tell without even having to listen to Jehondon’s words.

Perhaps Je Chaos can see its shadow at the end of the Chaos Road?

After a while, Jehondon woke up as if from sleep, shivering and lowering his head.

“Cheonwicheon, Cheonwicheon… … So Do-woo? Where are the Seven Princes?”

So-un answered question with question.

“Is that guy the Seven Princes of Chaos?”

Jehondon got up from his seat and smiled as he looked for Chil-gong-ja.

“Yes. The Taoist had become stronger than before, so I didn’t recognize him at first. But the secret contained in his door was definitely his. So, where is he?”

Sowoon answered.

“He left.”

Jehondon looked outside the battlefield with a look of obvious disappointment on his face.

So-woon launched a barrage of questions to relieve her frustration.

“That guy named Chilgongja said that I inherited the traditions of his master. And he called me his disciple. What the heck? Am I some kind of Hongmong Palgongja?”

In fact, it was a question he wanted to ask the man known as the Seven Princes of Chaos. However, So-woon had a feeling that he would not be able to meet him again.

Jehondon guided Sowoon to her seat and then returned to his original seat and said.

“Forget about him. More importantly, the reason I called you here to help me is because a difficult problem arose.”

So-woon was dissatisfied with Je-Hoon’s lack of explanation, but she shrugged her shoulders as if there was nothing she could do about it.

“You’re saying that this is a problem that even you, who have reached the peak of the Great Way, would find difficult? You don’t even know what’s going on.”

Jehondon said with a serious expression.

“Even among those who have reached the pinnacle of the Great Way, there are levels. In my previous life, I cultivated the Way of Reverse. The Way of Reverse is a Way that changes infinitely. Unlike that previous life, I was born from a corpse in chaos and cultivated the Way of Chaos. And now, I have become a Taoist and reached the end of the Way. However, the Way I have reached is not my Way of Chaos. I have not even reached the point of increase… … . Reaching the end of the Great Way has become impossible.”

So-woon nodded as if he understood, lost in thought.

Jehondon created the eight immortal realms and made them his secret realms. The great paths of heaven and earth that exist in the eight immortal realms were all parts of the great paths he had in his previous life. And one of those great paths was the Chaos Path that formed Jehondon today.

However, Jehondon, who was resurrected after Jesim became a Taoist, was said to not have even achieved the proof of chaos.
