Chapter 139 – God Of The Game (5)
Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique.
It was also the origin of the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
Han Seojin spoke while creating that technique.
The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique was inspired by the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique.
Thus, a part of the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique inevitably got embedded.
As a result, the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique was drawn to the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
Both Han Seojin and the Heavenly Demon knew this fact, but they did not bother to mention it.
Both were satisfied.
The Heavenly Demon was satisfied because she could know Han Seojin’s whereabouts, and Han Seojin was satisfied because the Heavenly Demon became less obsessed with him, although their points of satisfaction slightly differed.
Now, it has become a poison.
‘Found you.’
Her other half.
The Heavenly Demon’s eyes curved into a crescent.
The Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique was pointing the way.
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
The martial art, now slightly more advanced than before, was leaving its trace.
However, she couldn’t move immediately.
The Boundary.
A place that embodied a kind of rule created there.
Demons.
A place made to kill those damned bastards.
The nauseating bugs coming from the demonic realm.
A place to catch those bastards.
Gods and transcendents.
They imposed restrictions on acts that transcended dimensions.
Earth and the demonic realm.
They widened the passage, forcing them to be caught there.
But, maybe because of that.
The restrictions at the boundary were binding her.
The pact made by gods and transcendents.
Those with power beyond transcendence in this world were all subjected to ‘restrictions.’
Upon reaching transcendence, one reached the boundary and was forcibly given karma there.
There were many problems. Some joined the demons, while others tried to escape recklessly.
However, they were given the corresponding punishment.
They didn’t completely prevent them from leaving.
When they accomplished their tasks, they were sometimes allowed to go on excursions.
Duke of Extermination.
And herself.
The two were somewhat different.
They were the ones whom the gods were most wary of.
They were people who could shake the heavens and the earth with sheer strength alone.
Thus, they earned the vigilance of all the gods.
Unlike the transcendents, they were beings who drew their power from human ‘faith.’
They were different in nature from the transcendents.
However, neither the Heavenly Demon nor the Duke of Extermination cared.
There was no need to care.
The one who had given his all.
Because he had died.
Yet, she didn’t think he was completely dead.
So she lived.
Even in death, he spoke as if there was another life awaiting.
His martial arts were the same.
He emphasized completing his martial arts but often assumed a state where he could become a blank slate.
So she lived.
And just as he intended, he lived again.
It didn’t matter much what method he used.
Han Seojin survived.
And the fact that he existed.
That was what mattered.
However, there was something troubling.
The Duke of Extermination.
That woman’s reaction.
When the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor was first seen at the border, everyone’s eyes were on him.
A Transcendent.
Those forcibly confined to the border.
There was little they could do there.
So when the White-Faced Golden Fur appeared, everyone took interest.
And they saw.
The Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.
As soon as they saw him in his complete form, the old men of the orthodox factions were aghast, and those who knew his identity were terrified.
A few were simply curious about who he was.
At that time, the Duke of Extermination’s eyes were strange.
A very intense emotion was etched on her face.
That expression left a deep impression on her because it was the first time she saw it.
That was probably…
Something Han Seojin possessed.
Something she didn’t fully understand, likely related to the extreme forces of Yang and Yin energy.
‘The Duke of Extermination will be late.’
She won’t be able to come here.
Because she had to clean up the mess she had made.
‘That will be enough.’
While she was cleaning up and coming here, everything would be over.
‘It’s a shame it’ll be our first wedding, but…’
He couldn’t marry her.
They only exchanged the vows of engagement, nothing more.
‘Just wait a little longer.’
This time, she wouldn’t let him go.
“……Hmm.”
“What’s wrong?”
“No, I just have a strange feeling.”
What should I say?
My intuition was telling me something dangerous might be coming.
‘Did they prepare that thoroughly?’
We were currently heading to Jiangxi, China.
This was our second trip to China.
However, Nam Hyerin and Shin Yura were unusually tense.
‘Well, I guess it’s understandable.’
In fact, I didn’t want to bring these two along.
If things went as I suspected… that was, if they were the ones who tried to kill the Heavenly Demon before the Bloodshed of Mount Hua, I couldn’t protect them no matter what.
I think it would be better if you stayed in the Empire for this incident.
Why?
Because it’s dangerous.
It was dangerous.
It was obvious, but I wouldn’t say this no matter how dangerous it was.
‘Danger is naturally expected.’
To aim higher, danger was naturally expected.
Even though I was a genius and had taught many people, there were clear limits without experiencing real combat and danger.
But this time, it was different.
Because even I couldn’t protect them.
‘I only have one… no, two left?’
My Manifestation.
Awakening the power of my previous life.
That’s what it was, but its true ability was storage and restoration.
And the moment all of the Manifestation of Thoughts were used permanently, they showed a completely different form.
The Manifestations of Thoughts Kaleidoscope had such a structure.
Originally, it would have been the most suitable ability for a mage, but it was also extremely compatible with a warrior.
And now, it was also compatible with unique traits.
Anyway, if I used it, things would work out somehow.
Perhaps it might be beneficial for me to use it quickly.
But there was a problem.
“If they find out how many previous lives I have left.”
What would happen?
No matter how strong I was, I could not defeat the Demon King just after transcending.
…No, I could not defeat him.
Really?
I could easily take down a low-level demon king.
‘Hmm…’
Could I actually use it without any hesitation?
With the unique trait, Eternity, there was no demon king who could defeat me.
However, the problem was whether Eternity would assist me like the God of Magic when I used it.
That’s the issue.
The God of Magic did mention it in passing.
Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.
He said that its personality was problematic.
‘That’s something to think about later.’
It’s better not to use Eternity with the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.
And there was one more thing that was bothering me.
My first life… In other words, the life where I succeeded as a pro gamer.
That life, to be specific.
‘If things go as I think.’
The most dangerous one might be my first life.
If my second life became the God of Magic.
Then it was likely my third life became the God of Martial Arts.
Then the first round…
I closed my eyes for a moment.
I changed my mind.
If I had to take the risk anyway, it was better for them to be by my side.
Even in the worst of the worst situations, I could manage somehow.
If I bring out my past lives, I could handle it.
In any situation.
So, I just allowed it.
‘In the first place, even if I try to stop it, it’s better to face the danger a few times.’
And now.
We were waiting on the plane.
“But, Professor.”
“Why.”
“Is that person going to keep following us?”
Shin Yura glanced at the Green Forest King.
“That’s right.”
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
Shin Yura sent a worried look.
She was probably concerned that if we got something from the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor’s tomb, she might covet it.
But it was a natural worry.
‘Well, I know that it’s a fake.’
It’s a bit embarrassing to boast about myself.
But the value of my tomb was immense.
Even if it seemed fake, the other martial artists couldn’t help but move.
Even if they knew it was fake, what if, by any chance, it’s real?
If so, what if the treasures and the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique he possessed were lying there?
Everyone would think that.
The martial arts world would definitely move.
And the others would definitely move too.
Even the Emperor was quite interested…
“The airplane I haven’t boarded in a while is quite nice.”
The Emperor, sitting next to me, spoke calmly.
I looked to my side with a dumbfounded expression.
“When did you get on?”
“Not long ago. I hid my presence and snuck on a little while ago.”
“…”
He was so brazen that I was at a loss for words.
‘But he evaded my senses?’
It seemed he hadn’t just been idling away for a century either.
“Don’t look at me with those eyes. Even if I’m the Emperor, the Empire runs well without me.”
“More like you just want to play.”
“That’s true. It’s been a while since I saw my friend’s face, so I can’t just leave without any warmth, can I?”
I was at a loss for words.
I tried to say something but stopped.
Anyway, having more safety measures when taking the disciples was a good thing.
When the Green Forest King attacked, he blatantly left it to me.
‘That’s because the Green Forest King isn’t very smart.’
A madwoman who attacked the Empire with the combined power of a Supreme Realm spirit and a Supreme Realm master, making it two Supreme Realms.
However, the Emperor was not as easy as he seemed.
If things went wrong, he could knock down most Supreme Realms, and he had the means to take down even the dangerous Supreme Realms with him.
Thinking like this, the reckless charge of the Green Forest King felt truly formidable.
“But are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“The Green Forest King is a bit of a headache.”
The Emperor glanced at the Green Forest King with a sidelong look.
Pretending not to listen, she tried to eavesdrop, but I had blocked her, so she couldn’t hear anything.
‘If there was a spirit of the wind, she might have been able to hear.’
But since I gained the power of the Wind God, that’s impossible now.
“Don’t worry. Only the two of us can hear this conversation.”
“Your methods have become more sophisticated?”
“I was active as the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor, after all.”
“Hm… So the martial world had to deal with Han Seojin just like we did?”
He was talking like I was some kind of strategic nuclear weapon.
When I looked at the Emperor with half-closed eyes, he smiled faintly.
“The Green Forest King’s martial prowess is dangerous. But more dangerous are the King of Fighters and the Sea King.”
“The King of Fighters and the King of the Sea?”
“Yes. The King of Fighters who lives in the North Sea… that is, part of Russia, and the King of the Sea who has settled in the Yangtze River. Both of them are dangerous.”
“How dangerous are they?”
“I don’t know exactly. But according to a reliable source, if those two join forces, they can defeat even a lower-tier transcendent.”
“…They must be quite strong.”
“Yes, it’s a reliable source. It’s a fact told by someone who collects silver.”
“Collects silver…?”
Something seemed familiar.
Collects.
Collect something…
‘Eunchae?’
For some reason, I thought of my student with orange hair, but was it just my imagination?
“Ah, why are my ears so itchy?”
“What’s up, Yoo? Is someone talking behind your back?”
“Huh, who would talk behind the back of someone as kind and pretty as me?”
“Maybe your conscience…?”
“Anyway, let’s go quickly! To the famous tomb of the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor!”
Yoo Eunchae quickly ran ahead.
