Episode 110. The Journey to the South 4

The reason why the best in the world accepted the unknown senior into his body was because he was certain that he was absolutely not an evil being.

It cried out to me with a strong will, asking for it, but it was no different from a person who has been starving for a long time and cannot see what is ahead or what is behind.

If you don’t give it to me, I’ll die anyway, so what’s the point? I have to shout first.

And so, the best person in the world who accepted the unknown senior, later called Taigo-shin, was momentarily shaken.

“Ugh!”

The feeling of being sucked away by a senior who has absorbed all of his strength into his body.

The best in the world desperately uses his magical power to prevent it from sucking out all of his magical power and will. After a brief tug-of-war, it stops after having consumed a significant portion of his will and dantian.

“I understand there is no malicious intent.”

-Father, it’s not enough. Please, more… … .

“Well… … If I can’t endure it myself, then I’m not sure if there’s anyone in the world who can endure it like you.”

In the end, in that tug-of-war of power, that fight for dominance over the body, it was the one that had been weakened for hundreds of millions of years that lost, but there was no malice. It was just like a hungry person who eats food without looking back.

As the best in the world staggered, the poor saint who depended on him for his realm also almost died.

The best person in the world decides that if he puts the old senior who came to him in there, both Maho and the senior will die, so he has no choice but to hold him in his arms.

The best in the world sits down for a while and carefully feeds it magic and will. Then, after filling its hungry stomach, he slowly listens to its story.

There was a lot of magic power here. By drawing in the magic power flowing from the sky and earth of the Great Mountain Range and breathing it, the best in the world can restore the fallen primordial god.

“So, who are you, senior, and why are you here?”

All entities except for the primordial spirits are vessels that they created themselves. In other words, they enter the bodies of living things and endure the harsh environment.

However, the primordial gods who reached the level of gods were an exception. There was no living thing to contain them. Also, gods do not decline. They do not go crazy or anything because they live long. So they were able to endure for hundreds of millions of years.

So they crystallize themselves and hold on, waiting for their kind to awaken them one day.

However, not declining is a thoroughly general standard. Just because All Chaun became a rookie, his depression didn’t suddenly go away. It’s not like he didn’t get hurt or his outlook on life didn’t change afterward.

Even the best person in the world can survive without eating or drinking, but can they really survive by starving for tens of thousands of years? Well?

They locked away their own consciousness and endured an environment of extremely low magical pressure.

They were in the place with the highest magical pressure of their time, but the passage of hundreds of millions of years had distorted the movements of celestial bodies and even the shape of the earth.

Those beings who had reached the state of initiation eventually could not endure the environment and were torn apart and scattered across the world. However, because there were so many of them, quite a few survived even after hundreds of millions of years.

And they realized something was wrong about 100 million years ago.

At that time, the scorpions, plants, and monsters that had conquered the world had already lost even a trace of their primordial spirits. Even their intelligence and ego, the smallest units that made up their species, had disappeared.

Worn out over hundreds of millions of years, it has become part of the mind and will of modern life, and part of the celestial bodies and ‘it’.

And the filthy, unlucky primordial gods had to face even more misfortune.

It was clearly a super high-powered area when they first settled down, but after hundreds of millions of years, the celestial bodies and the lands moved, so they settled down in a place where there were hardly any living things.

It was clearly a plain, but it turned into a 12,000 meter high mountain range where even living things, let alone intelligent beings, would have a hard time finding it.

But there are also some primordial gods who are incredibly lucky.

For example, it’s like the good fortune of the second god in history who went astray and accidentally discovered the apes and woke them up right away, instead of the other primordial gods desperately trying to create a new human being who would awaken them by evolving apes into humans, and then watching over them and teaching them for hundreds of thousands of years until they achieved civilization.

The World’s Best Man takes out the giant crystal from his body again. It has grown in size, has become shiny, and has changed into a shape closer to a sphere.

The best in the world then takes it back inside his body. He just wanted to check.

“I see… … According to what you explained, you are a senior who lived a very long time ago.”

-That’s right. I didn’t know that there would be someone in this generation who reached the same level as us. Thanks to that, I survived.

After quite some time, the primordial god of the Great Mountain Range has now regained his senses and is free from hunger. He has reached a level where he can hold a conversation at a fairly advanced level.

“According to that, it seems that what I am is also thanks to the virtues of my seniors.”

-Well, we didn’t intend to create life forms as complex as yours. Your advanced intelligence may have been arranged by other species.

The best person in the world was not surprised by this shocking fact. It is natural for all things to have parents.

Even if they only created the vessel for themselves to inhabit, the best human being in the world, his kind, and their distant cousins, other apes, also benefited from their help and survived, achieving civilization, so they should be grateful.

“However, it is unfortunate that the magical power that you desire does not exist in this world.”

-Is that so?

“That’s right. The area I’m in has low magical power, but the magical power that you desire… Well, I don’t know. I wonder if it would be possible even if I received a direct hit from the power of the star.”

-… … .

“And as far as I know, the only person who has reached the same level as me is the monarch of the South. Perhaps he has not reached the same level as me.”

-What kind of sleep?

“Well? I’ve only heard it through rumors. If you go all the way south, there’s a forest that seems endless, and a field full of cows. In the middle of it, there’s a wide grassland close to the moon, and there he built a jewel palace and reigned as the monarch of his race for almost 15,000 years.”

-How old are you?

“About two thousand years old.”

-Hmm… … If it took 2,000 years to reach this level, wouldn’t there be more gods in the world than expected?

“No… … . Probably not. Even those who achieved a second molt were extremely rare. It is said that the Lord of the Jewel Palace had eleven saints, but that may be an exaggeration. Even his age… … . But I think it is probably true. I have heard consistent stories about the Lord of the Jewel Palace since two thousand years ago, so even if it is a lie, he is definitely over two thousand years old.”

-I want to meet you in person. I’ve lived thanks to your strength, but I need more and stronger strength to become fully independent.

In that case, the goal has not changed. It is to go down south and meet the next Chaun. Although I unexpectedly gained another companion, it is a good thing to think that I have become a real and proper companion.

“If you’re talking about independence, what kind of form do you prefer? A person, after all?”

-Honestly, your appearance seems very bizarre to me. I think a simpler and more intuitive form would be better.

“A pole or a bar. Like a triangle?”

-Maybe so. I want a body. I don’t want to move with contracting and expanding organs like you guys… … But I want it to have some function, even if it’s just a simple form.

“Function? Something that looks like a tool, like a plow or a chisel? Doesn’t that sound a little unpleasant?”

-Well. There is a difference between something that looks like a tool and something that is a tool. Perhaps if they are not of the same level, how can they handle our power?

So, the Holy Horse, the best in the world, the Ancient God heads south to where Mainilun is.

Again, you can’t get to Mainnirun by going south over this mountain range. You have to go quite a bit further west.

But how would these people know that?

“Look! The endless forest! It looks like we’ve come to the right place!”

-I don’t see any trees that reach the sky?

“Well, that would be an exaggeration. Are there not even a single large tree in this vast jungle?”

The exaggeration is true, but it is just another jungle. The best in the world thinks that if they just get past that jungle, a wide grassland will appear, and they advance forward in high spirits.

And soon, the person I met was someone who looked very different from my fellow countrymen.

-What are they?

“They are Iyakan. They live in the southwestern border of my hometown, but it seems they live here.”

Yes, because this is the southwestern border of the East.

-What kind of people are they?

“He is a relative of the dragon. He is neither good nor evil by nature, but he knows the propriety and how a ruler should govern his people. I heard that he was originally located east of the Gem Palace, so it must be here.”

Thinking like that, Cheon Ha Je Il In, who was trying to approach them in a friendly manner, sniffed.

It smells like blood.

It was a foul, disgusting, blasphemous smell, like a mixture of rotting corpses and living things.

-But why?

“It smells like sorcery.”

-Commandment?

“It’s an evil sorcery that manipulates corpses as it pleases and blasphemes the human spirit. I thought I got rid of them all.”

Some remained and fled southwest, and they passed on the method to the Iyakans.

The principle of operation is slightly different from other magics, so Iyakan could use necromancy. In addition, there is blood magic and human sacrifice that operate on life force. It is quite effective, so it is one of the axes of their mystery.

The best way to raise a powerful dragon from the beginning was to sacrifice a human body to the dragon, and this has been passed down through tradition, but with the help of necromancy, it has become even stronger. Now, even dead dragons can be revived and used for good purposes.

Sacrifices offered to the great dragon god are made from slaves kidnapped from outside the Tocha or Baekkan tribes instead of the sacred kin.

It was an act that the best in the world could not possibly tolerate. To see it being carried out in a single city.

“These guys… …! Rumors really can’t be trusted. Who knew they could be this corrupt.”

-Hmm… … Well, in my opinion, it seems like an efficient use of it.

“It is a means of defiling the soul and body. It must be completely wiped out!”

-Your strength is great, but it’s only that much, so let me help you a little.

The best in the world simultaneously draws up all the energy held in his dantian. The primordial god transforms the condensed pure energy that rises from within him into his own divine power, in the form of waves.

Phew!

And with one swing, the sacred wave purifies and blows away all their magic, including necromancy. The mystery that was contained in a city was completely wiped out with one punch. The best in the world runs straight into the city.

The second of the best heroes in the world. After the creation of the nomadic people, he goes to fix the country of the Iyakans.
