Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 414 There is only one God (2)

The place Seo-ryang visited after retreating from Daejeon was Panmajeong.

Saaaaaa.

The wind blew.

The illusion that Panmajeong was showing was the summit of an unknown mountain.

Although it was not a desolate cliff like when I met Lee Cheon-sang before, the bottom of the mountain, hidden by clouds, made him look lonely as he stood alone at the top.

After looking down for a while, Seoryang sat cross-legged.

“hmm.”

Tsutsutsutsu.

Little by little, the world changed.

The mountain peak rising through the clouds dispersed, and an old-fashioned pavilion surrounded by Gihwayocho appeared in its place. The place where Seoyang sat was right on top of the pavilion.

“Maybe it’s because it’s the first time, but it doesn’t change quickly.”

Seoryang looked around, leaning back against the railing of the pavilion.

A smile appeared on his face. It was a smile that seemed somehow complicated.

“Have I been too busy? I have so much time. “It’s gone.”

The scene he created now was the same one that Pan Ma-jeong showed when he first met Jeon Sang.

‘I was very nervous at that time.’

This was the way he came in without knowing the identity of Panmajeong. He knew that this was a world created with advanced fighting methods, but he did not know how dangerous it was.

Now that he had learned the Yujin Dohyeonggyeol, Seoryang could clearly feel. How scary a place Panmajeong was. .

The space within this formation is a place that moves according to the will of the owner.

Not only can it simply read the opponent’s mind or kill it, but when the operation reaches its peak, it can

even materialize eating and drinking. Of course, it is not actual food, but if the person concerned believes so, the body You are deceived. Even though there is nothing in your stomach, your body is active as if you had eaten. It is

an area that blurs the boundary between reality and fantasy. It can also be seen as a place to practice where you can exercise your ruling power as a god. .

If you have sufficiently analyzed the situation on campus as well as the political situation in the central world, you can show the future that your judgment will bring about. A

virtual place that makes gods like gods. Ultimately, it is a divine land that even makes future predictions possible. ).

That’s why the religious leader must overcome Panmajeong. It is not a place to see through the opponent in the first place, but because it is a place created for better politics and life.

“That’s why it was so difficult.”

Seoliang was furious as he recalled the time when he had subdued Panmajeong alone.

Panmajeong, who had lost his master, did not leave alone those who entered.

It even sprayed lightning that was no different from its actual power, raised waves of boiling lava, and unleashed

the sword winds of thousands of masters ( It was like a

natural disaster. It was not a pressure that even the best expert in the world could withstand.

Seoliang withstood the unstoppable disaster with faith and analysis.

Already at Panmajeong . I’ve been here several times and I knew that I needed a strong self-confidence to deal with this, so I was able to endure it.

‘It was difficult even though I hinted at it myself. How on earth did they make something like this? Panmajeong is like this, but Gojukrim is the basis of it.’ ‘Who made the silver and how?’

The experience of encountering Panmajeong’s energy, the knowledge that one needs it, an extreme understanding of the true energy, and physical strength and martial arts ability to withstand pressure.

If even one of these was lacking, one would never succeed. As

I thought about Gojuklim, Geumho naturally came to mind.

“You. “Where are you now? Are you still alive?”

Of course, I knew that Geumho was alive. Although the Geumho’s fighting power is not up to his level, the Geumho is not a creature born to fight.

A spiritual entity that shakes fate by simply existing.

If you have enough energy to be involved in the fate of the world, life and death cannot be decided by human hands.

In the first place, isn’t it a being that constantly repeats death and rebirth?

Therefore, Seoryang was also confident that Geumho was alive.

However, unlike in the past when it was possible to know the status of Geumho even if it was thousands of miles away, now it was impossible to determine where Geumho was and what condition it was in.

So I was worried. He was going to come back somehow, but he missed Geumho several times a day.

Seoryang, who was thinking about Geumho, chuckled without realizing it.

“There is no one else who wants this.”

Even though he had not been crowned yet, he was still the leader of the sect. No one denied it.

But when I became the leader of a religious cult, I couldn’t be that lonely.

Ma Dong-pil, Aeng-hwa, Wei Hong-ryeon, and the faces of the Magons were all seen as usual, but it felt like they were the only ones left out.

And one of the countless reasons that created that loneliness was responsibility.

Even when he was the leader of the military, he felt a sense of responsibility, but now there is no one to support him.

Now, the Heavenly Demon God Church, an invincible army with a thousand-year history, lives and dies solely based on its own decisions.

So I hated solitude. I wanted someone to share this responsibility with.

When that thought occurred to Seoryang, he felt himself changing again.

“Is it possible for a person to change this much in just a few years?”

Even when I was King of Sal, I hated people who harmed my solitude, but now I hate loneliness.

It wasn’t just about responsibility. After living with people who seemed human, I now felt awkward being alone.

Seo-ryang closed his eyes.

“It’s time to forget about it, but somehow I keep missing it every now and then.”

Lee Cheon-sang came to mind.

As the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, it cannot be said that it is very desirable to miss a teacher who has already left.

This was true not only for Westerners but also for religious believers. The fact that the previous religious leader keeps coming to mind is also evidence that the reign of the current religious leader is not very good.

An extreme example was Gwangmazon. For whatever reason, the starting point that made him act like that was Lee Cheon-sang.

Probably all of the leaders running the Protestant Church were like that. In their hearts, the shadow of the absolute being called Lee Cheon-sang will still be thickly cast.

“Even though he went to heaven, he still shows this level of influence. It’s truly amazing.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“Don’t blame me for whining. What can I do? Master’s accomplishments must have been significant.

So, what should the next great religious leader do if he lived such a burdensome life?”

When I thought about it, I was now calling Lee Cheon-sang “master” without hesitation. That was a big change.

At the same time, I felt regretful.

‘In the end, I couldn’t call him even once.’

He never once called Lee Cheon-sang “Master.” It

wasn’t until the time of his death and the moment he ascended to heaven that he bowed to him, but could not open his mouth and call him

“Master.” That was resentment. He had all his heart, so he believed himself through the desire statement. I knew his feelings, but that doesn’t mean he spoke for nothing. I

regret not calling him warmly because it was so difficult to call him master.

“Wow, it’s a mess.”

Lost in my thoughts and grumbling alone.

It’s only been a few days, but I’ve already developed a bad habit. But Seoryang didn’t hate himself for it.

“Anyway.”

Seoryang’s eyes, which had been wet with fatigue, regained their strength.

“We need to reorganize the temple as soon as possible, but is it okay to destroy the Yuan Big Palace first?”

After realizing as a sect leader, the first thing that came to mind was the problem of subduing Panmajeong and dealing with Big Palace. One of them was completed, so now it was time to deal with Big Palace.

‘It was a bit urgent.’

In fact, it is something that must be dealt with urgently. If you really want to get rid of the secret palace,

you must have a coronation after building up a base of support as a religious leader and showing everyone the dignity appropriate for it.

Church members do not know about the secret palace, but the symbolism of the coronation is clear. I know it well.

‘If you receive a grand office hosted by the Big Palace, there will be problems in attacking the Big Palace in the future.’

The problem is none other than orthodoxy.

Since everyone believes and follows orthodoxy, orthodoxy is even more important. That’s why they want to deal with it from the royal palace.

Suddenly, Seoryang remembered a conversation he had with Lee Cheon-sang before heading to Uicheonmaeng.

– I, one of the religious leaders of the past. It is rare to have someone who receives such passionate support.

There are many people who go beyond simply believing and following and show sincere loyalty.

Before I reached this level, even I felt burdened by getting rid of the secret palace. Of course, I still tried to sweep it away.

– Why is that? Is it? It’s not because of the ‘power’ that the secret palace possesses

– it’s enough to just blow it away with overwhelming firepower. The problem was legitimacy.

Injuring those who crowned me means crushing the thousand-year history of this church with my own hands. It’s a bad thing.

I couldn’t help but think about the future, wondering if it would have been

done before I was crowned.

– That’s right. – So, if you’re going to hit the royal palace, you should do it before you get crowned.

– I already tried to do that. However, the religious leader’s intention was I was just curious. No matter how much I think about it, I’m not the kind of person who cares about anyone.

– I care

, too. – Really? Who cares?

– Teacher.

– Hmm…

– I guess I don’t believe it.

– God is something I just trust and follow. Didn’t you say that you were an object? Then there would be no need to worry about what the believers think?

Why does someone say that devotion that expects something in return is unclean…?

– Apart from the naturalness that they should trust and follow me, I also You have to listen to their thoughts.

– Can I ask why?

– Because only by understanding their beliefs and desires can you become a better god.

– Does that mean you have to understand their hearts even if you don’t do anything?

– Yes.

– Doing nothing means doing nothing . Doesn’t it mean that

I don’t change? – It just looks like I’m not changing. But I’m changing even without any outward actions.

Thanks to constant stimulation, I’m learning the only great value.

– What is that?

– Humility The conversation with Lee Cheon-sang was a series of directness and ambiguity

.

However, the reason that the conversation leaves a lasting impression is probably because of his philosophy and values, which are difficult to understand in words but can be understood with the heart.

“As for humility… I’m sure it’s still lacking. “I can’t afford to feel that way right now.”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“I just know that it’s time to run. “This is not the time to rest because you are tired and lonely.”

To see the forest, you have to look closely at the trees first. So Seoryang decided to handle the matter at hand first.

It was when I was about to wake up after spending some alone time again.

[Religious leader.]

An electric sound was heard.

It was neither Ma Dong-pil nor Mu-dam. It was a message from the leader of the religious guard, the Hocheon Demon Emperor.

[The Lord of Hwanhee Won has asked to see you. What will you do?]

Seo-ryang answered.

“I’m leaving.”

As my mind cleared, I found myself standing at the entrance to Panmajeong Pavilion.

Coogung!

When I came out through the open door, So Yeon-sim was lying prostrate in the distance.

Xu Liang smiled.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other like this.”

So Yeon-sim bowed her head even more.

“Reigning Holy Spirit, Heavenly Demon Immortal.” “The Lord of Hwanhee Won comes to see you in your esteemed presence.”

“Stop saying unfamiliar greetings and get up.”

Soyeonsim stood up in a polite posture.

There was a small smile on her face. It was a smile full of kindness.

“Did you know how to laugh like that?”

“I always laughed like this.”

“Is that possible? It’s a smile I never saw during elementary school.”

“Even if my feelings were the same as before, how could I show a frivolous appearance in front of the religious leader?”

“There is no separate clearing water. “My speech hasn’t changed.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“So what happened? “I don’t think you came just to see my face.”

“Oh yeah. I came here because of Gwangmazon’s request. “I think I need to get permission from the church leader.”

“hmm?”

“I… I heard that it would be okay to cut off the support to the Big Palace. What should I do?”

“Hoo?”

Seo-ryang let out a strange laugh.

“That old man must have been quite annoying.”

“yes?”

“No, please do that. Cut off all support going there right now.”

“I follow your orders.”

Seo-ryang stroked his chin as if he was having fun.

“Are you saying that people who have experienced it know this? I haven’t seen it that way, but it has a rather evil side to it.”
