Episode 202. Visit

Nakcheonmun was having an interview with Cheon Sirang at the Kyojujeon Hall.

“The above is the list of successful candidates for the second ranking announcement.”

“…….”

Cheon Si-rang looked down at the paper in his hand without saying a word.

The second ranking announcement will be made tomorrow afternoon. Cheon Si-rang received the list of successful candidates in advance and was looking through it.

Of course, there may be changes to the list of successful applicants since there is only one day left, but the list written here is almost confirmed.

“Twenty-five.”

“…….”

“There’s still a lot left.”

When the competition first began, there were only a hundred candidates.

Now, the number was halved, but it still seemed like a lot to Cheon Shirang.

Swish-.

At that time, the gaze moved towards one place.

The list listed the names in order of their ranking.

Cheon Si-rang’s gaze was now directed to the very top, where a very familiar name was written.

“…….”

Following the announcement of the first ranking, the first place in the second ranking announcement was also occupied by the same person.

A name written clearly as if it were its original place.

Cheon Il Myeong. Cheon Si Rang stared at that name for a while in silence.

“…Who do you think will be the new cult leader?”

At that moment, Cheon Si-rang broke the silence and suddenly asked.

Although it could be said to be a rather sensitive question, Nakcheonmun opened his mouth with a calm expression.

“The Thousand-Yi-Ming Confucius. It’s highly likely that it will be him.”

Even if you just look at the statistical figures, that answer was inevitable.

Cheon Il-myeong maintained his unwavering first place in the second ranking announcement following the first ranking announcement, and even the gap with second place was considerable.

Also, isn’t everyone in the world looking to Cheon Il Myung as the next religious leader?

Even if it was the Nakcheonmun Gate, there could not have been a different answer from them.

“That’s an obvious answer.”

“sorry.”

“But that’s the only answer I can give. If someone had asked me that question, I would have answered the same way.”

“…….”

There was a strange feeling in Cheon Si-rang’s speech.

At that tone of voice that seemed to expect a different answer, Nakcheonmun remained silent for a moment before cautiously opening his mouth.

“There is also a candidate who I think could be Confucius’s ambush.”

“…Who is it?”

“A thousand years of destiny.”

“…….”

“This is a candidate I am personally keeping an eye on.”

When Cheon Myeong-myeong’s name was mentioned, Cheon Si-rang’s gaze changed slightly.

When Cheon Il-myeong’s name came up, he seemed completely uninterested in what was going on, but this time, he seemed curious as to why Nakcheonmun had given such an answer.

“Cheon Myeong Myeong, is that guy being watched by the guardian deity?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“…….”

“If Confucius Cheon Il Myeong is a giant tree, then Confucius Cheon Myeong Myeong can be said to be a dandelion.”

A giant tree and a dandelion. Cheon Si-rang couldn’t immediately understand why Nakcheonmun had likened the two people to each other.

But if we compare the external impressions, isn’t the difference between the old tree and the dandelion too great?

It felt like hitting a rock with an egg, like the old tree and the dandelion were no match at all.

“A tree and a dandelion… that’s quite a difficult metaphor. I can’t understand why those two were compared.”

“The old tree has already taken root and is fully grown. It feels like it will not break easily even when the wind and rain blows and will stand firm in its place.”

“…….”

“On the other hand, dandelions disappear in an instant even in a light wind. However, they leave behind seeds that are carried by the wind and scattered all over the place.”

Only then did Cheon Si-rang seem to understand Nakcheonmun’s words.

“As time goes by, dandelions scatter their seeds here and there, and eventually the entire field may be filled with dandelions.”

“…….”

“But the old tree ends with just that. Since it has already been completed, it is difficult to expect any further growth.”

The current actions of Cheonmyeongmyeong and Cheonilmyeong were exactly like that.

If Cheon Il-myeong was already in perfect condition as a small cult leader, Cheon Myeong-myeong had been showing growth that he had never shown before since the competition began.

So, as more time passes, it is impossible to know how much it will grow.

It was said that new buds could sprout here and there to the point of completely covering the huge old tree.

“No matter how much a dandelion grows, isn’t it still just a dandelion?”

“That could be the case.”

“…….”

“But when they grow to fill a field, people will notice them more than a single tree.”

After hearing that, Cheon Si-rang remained silent as if lost in thought.

An old tree that has already reached perfect growth. And a dandelion that has the potential to grow infinitely.

Which of the two would have the greatest impact on the entire Magic Cult? Cheon Shirang was looking into the distant future.

Swish-.

That was when.

For a moment, Cheon Si-rang’s eyes became sharp and he turned to a certain place.

Nakcheonmun also looked towards the entrance as if he had noticed something, and soon the closed middle door began to slowly open.

“……?”

This happened last time too.

Did something urgent come up this time, like when the Pungwolgyo attacked?

With that thought in mind, Nakcheonmun looked through the open door, but soon his eyes widened in surprise when he discovered a person entering.

Thud- thud-.

Even though they entered the civil war without warning, their footsteps were quite leisurely.

An old man walking leisurely even while making eye contact with Cheon Si-rang.

Nakcheonmun recognized the old man right away, and as he approached, he stepped aside and even bowed his head.

chuck-.

Soon the old man stopped walking.

Cheon Si-rang stared at the sight in silence, and soon Nakcheonmun’s voice was heard from the side.

“Meet the first pastor!”

The first cult leader, Nakcheonmun, just spoke clearly to the old man.

The current head of the Chocheon family and the person who destroyed the Cheonma Sect and became the first leader of the Magical Cult. He was the old man, Cheon Dae-seong.

“…It’s been a while.”

After a while, Cheon Si-rang carefully opened his mouth.

Even though he was the leader of the magic cult and the most powerful person in the world, he seemed to be quite cautious in his attitude towards Cheon Dae-seong.

Even though he has now retired from politics, Cheon Dae-seong was once a cult leader.

Moreover, since he was the one who founded the Magic Church, even though he had retired, he was bound to have considerable influence.

“Thirty years?”

“…….”

“Even though so much time has passed, it seems like nothing has changed here.”

After a while, Cheon Dae-seong opened his mouth for the first time.

Since he was once a cult leader, he was naturally the owner of the Taesaui placed there.

Cheon Si-rang asked cautiously, looking at Cheon Dae-seong, who was looking around as if he missed something.

“…What are you doing here?”

“Is it not okay for you to come?”

“…….”

“Since my grandson doesn’t come to see me, I guess I have to come too to see his face.”

The first and third leaders. And the two were like grandfather and grandson.

But this was the cult leader’s house. In such a place, when Cheon Dae-seong mentioned the latter relationship instead of the former, Cheon Si-rang looked uncomfortable.

“…I haven’t been able to come see you for a while due to a lot of work. I thought that the first cult leader would understand me better than anyone else.”

“Yes, I understand. That’s why I stayed quiet all this time.”

“…….”

“But these days, there are some things I just can’t understand.”

At that moment, a meaningful glint appeared in Cheon Dae-seong’s eyes.

“It seems like they are trying to decide on a successor now.”

“…….”

“I naturally thought you would discuss the matter with me. But there was no discussion, not even a greeting.”

The tense atmosphere that runs through the civil war.

Although he was already over 100 years old, the spirit flowing from Cheon Dae-seong’s body was not inferior to that of Cheon Si-rang.

“Yes, I tried to understand up to that point. Now that my grandson is all grown up, I guess he wanted to make his own choices.”

“…….”

“But, you know, no matter how generously I try to understand, I just can’t.”

The tone was quite gentle.

But from the perspective of someone listening to the conversation right in front of me, I could feel the tension building up in my throat.

Although Cheon Si-rang didn’t show it, he realized that cold sweat was running down the back of his neck.

“Why did you do that?”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Competition. It’s asking why they do such a useless thing.”

This was definitely a remark that crossed the line of contempt.

Even though he is the first Heavenly Demon, isn’t the current leader of the Magic Cult Cheon Shirang?

Just as Cheon Si-rang respected Cheon Dae-seong, there was clearly a line that Cheon Dae-seong had to keep.

Finally, Nakcheonmun, who couldn’t stand to watch anymore, said something to Cheon Daeseong.

“This is in front of the leader. Even if he is the first leader…….”

That was when.

A powerful energy that instantly fills the civil war.

Nakcheonmun felt as if he had fallen into the deep sea, and was so immersed in the powerful energy that he couldn’t help but be speechless.

“Sirang and I are talking.”

“……!”

“If you interfere one more time, I’ll kill you.”

Within the Nakcheonmun Do Magic Church, he was known as a powerful figure, second only to Cheon Si-rang.

However, Cheon Dae-seong’s one word rendered him mute, and he eventually had no choice but to step back.

Looking at that sight, Cheon Dae-seong lowered the energy he was sending out compared to before.

“Let me ask you again.”

“…….”

“Sirang, what are you trying to do?”

Cheon Dae-seong looked at Cheon Si-rang again and asked.

The aura of the cold-blooded still permeated the civil war, and it was putting enough pressure on Cheon Si-rang.

After a brief silence, Cheon Si-rang finally opened his mouth.

“…We are trying to decide on a sub-religious leader.”

“…….”

“Just as you have chosen a successor… I too am trying to choose a successor.”

After hearing that answer, Cheon Dae-seong said nothing.

Suwoong-.

After a while, the aura that had filled the civil war began to slowly fade away.

Accordingly, Cheon Si-rang and Nak Cheon-mun were able to breathe more comfortably than before, and Cheon Dae-seong was completely relieved before he knew it.

“Sirang, do you know what I’m trying to say?”

“…Yes, I know that very well.”

“I should never come here again.”

As he said this, Cheon Dae-seong turned towards the entrance.

It seemed as if he was going to escape the civil war, but Cheon Dae-seong continued speaking while turning around.

“Remember.”

“…….”

“Who put you there?”

The steps that move with those words.

In the silence, only Cheon Dae-seong’s footsteps could be heard, and when the sound of the middle door closing was heard, Cheon Si-rang and Nak Cheon-mun let out the breaths they had been holding at the same time.

“Remember……”

At that moment, Cheon Si-rang looked at the closed middle door and muttered something in a low voice.

Seeing his grandfather’s face for the first time in years. For Cheon Si-rang, it was not a welcome encounter at all.

As if to express that fact, Cheon Si-rang crumpled the paper he was holding with all his might.

“…Yes, I remember.”

With that muttering, he spread out his right hand. Cheon Si-rang unfolded the crumpled paper again.

“…….”

A thousand names. Among the crumpled list, only that one name stood out clearly.
