Episode 114. The Journey to the South 7

To put it bluntly, it is impossible to hide the actions of the best in the world.

First of all, they are different races. The best in the world often stand on two feet because it is more advantageous for them to perform martial arts, but the Tocha tribe fundamentally find it much easier to walk on four feet. Or they climb trees.

First of all, the body shape and appearance are unique. This is even more so when you consider that this is a normal magic zone.

The Tocha usually can’t come here. The magical winds that blow occasionally raise the magical pressure here to a high magical power zone. The Tocha can just faint while walking around this area.

How unique is the appearance of the Holy Horse? His attire, his appearance, his vehicle. Even if you wanted to hide it, you couldn’t, and the best in the world didn’t have any intention of hiding it.

And the Baekkan tribe didn’t even think about stopping the best in the world who appeared like that.

“If he really is a rookie who has shed his skin three times, then he is on par with All Chaun, and if he is, then he would be the best master in the world who would melt even if you sent a million troops, so why are you calling for troops?”

So, instead, their monarch and several of his subordinates personally stepped forward and warmly welcomed the best in the world.

“Are you the ruler of this place?”

“Yes. I am the lord of the five rivers and the plough.”

“The best in the world. I come from the East.”

The best in the world wasn’t interested in the titles of the Baekkan tribe. Rather, he just looked at their skills, emotions, etc., and observed what kind of people they were. And he found out that they didn’t harbor any hostility or set up any traps.

However, for the Lord of the Plough, who was the representative of the three lords of the Baekkan tribe, his life was at stake.

‘This is crazy… …! Is this the level of a wise man?’

He is also immortal. He is a saint who has lived for hundreds of years. He can sense the soul’s status and presence and know how to measure it.

And the limits of being an ‘adult’. And I know how powerful the presence of Anrai and the other Vakkan lords is, which I have personally seen.

If you think about it that way… … .

‘I wondered how he dared to call himself the best in the world, and it turns out he really is the best in the world! Is this really the status that a person can have?’

There was a slight misunderstanding. I felt the presence of the primordial god that the best person in the world had inside his body. If I had taken that away, I wouldn’t have been this surprised.

‘I’ve never actually met All Chaun, but if All Chaun surpasses Iza, then that would be amazing in its own way… …! Probably similar.’

The best in the world simply stated his business.

“As a guest, I just want to see your culture… … .”

“Ah, ah. I see. Since you are a guest from far away, I will gladly welcome you. I will treat you much better than Iyakan!”

The best person in the world was willing to respect any culture as long as it did not involve human sacrifice.

If I saw the disorderly and promiscuous culture of Datang, I would be shocked, but… … I thought I would respect it anyway, because it wasn’t hurting anyone.

And fortunately, the Baekkan tribe did not have the custom of human sacrifice. Their laws were beautiful, their institutions were clean, and their people were happy.

At least the majority. The best in the world understood that there were bound to be unhappy people. What matters is whether the leader has the will to eliminate unhappy people or not.

“Our Baekkan is the master of this vast territory that extends to the southwest, west, and north. Originally, it was one federation, but with the appearance of the saints, each split their territory and ruled it equally.”

“Hoo.”

“I am the Lord of the Plow, with the five rich rivers. I have the best granary in my realm. In the volcanic lands to the north is the Lord of the Pickaxe, and in the northern forests is the Lord of the Axe. The fourth has not yet appeared.”

“hmm.”

“Our system is originally a republic, run by agreement of six people… … .”

It is interesting to hear the explanation. The best in the world never thought of a system where even a commoner would have power. For him, the morality of the monarch and the morality of the people were separate.

Their system certainly had its problems, but it was impeccable when heard about, the country was prosperous, and the people faithfully engaged in their respective occupations.

“Your country is great. I have taught many people, but teaching you would be nothing more than a compulsion.”

“Oh. To receive such praise from the greatest person in the world, it is an honor for the race! Shall I show you the way to Ol Chaun?”

“I’d like to spend about 50 years exploring this land. There must be many places to go.”

50 years. It’s a ridiculous amount of time. To think that you can easily invest the equivalent of a person’s lifetime and go around.

But the Lord of the Plow was a twice-shepherded saint, and he understood such a sense of time. There was nothing shameful in the Baekkan way, so they should show themselves as they are.

“Then, would you like to start by looking at the things we boast about?”

“gladly.”

The place the Lord of the Plow guided us to was a huge blacksmith shop. The Baekkan tribe, who originally developed their civilization by mining gems and handling metals, had reached a high level of ironsmithing and blacksmithing skills.

To put it bluntly, it was the best of its time. It was possible to make some iron weapons, and there were alloys that were stronger than iron weapons through magic power, and various metal weapons such as bronze that were easier to make.

“Wow. This is quite a feat.”

“Come to think of it, I can’t help but give you a gift. You’re wandering around alone, so giving you a house or land wouldn’t be of much use. Can I ask what kind of weapon the best in the world uses? I’ll make you the best weapon to match.”

The best man in the world used a sword when he was young. There is no particular reason. In the East, swords were popular. It was a bronze sword in the shape of a lute.

But after he reached the level of a superhuman, he had no weapon that could handle his internal energy. The quality was too low. So he just fought with martial arts.

Anyway, if you swing your fist, the shockwave will create a tsunami and blow away the hill, so there’s no need for anything else.

“Well, what can I write? It may sound like I’m bragging, but I had no weapon that could withstand my power.”

“There are things that a superhuman can use. It would be an honor if I could create a weapon that a newcomer could use.”

“Then… … I would like a sword of this type.”

And a few weeks later, a superhuman sword was created. The secret masterpiece containing all the visions, secrets, and mysteries of the Baekkan tribe was given to the best person in the world.

“I need to test the power of the sword… … .”

“Haha. What do you want to fight?”

“Try to split the sky.”

“?”

The best in the world activated his dantian and added the wave of divine power from the primordial god he held, then launched his sword into the air.

The goal is space. The place where ‘they’ are. I looked up at the sky and the weather was not good, so I tried to blow it up.

phut!

And of course, the Black Heavenly Swordsman of the Baekkan Tribe is unable to withstand the sword strike that he swung into the air and is shattered.

“Eww!”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I damaged the gift.”

“Uh, ugh… … ?”

The Lord of the Plough opened his mouth in astonishment. How strong must one be to swing his sword to split the universe and then burst it in one blow?

“It seems like there aren’t any weapons that a newbie can use. I don’t know if I can make one later, but… … .”

But now was not the time to talk about that.

“The greatest in the world, you were a god?!”

“hmm?”

“You just unleashed divine power! No, is it the other way around? Does unleashing divine power make you a god?”

“Hmm… … I see what you mean. That power is not mine, but my friend’s.”

The best in the world took out the perfect sphere-shaped Taigo-shin from his bosom. It was the Taigo-shin who had completely recovered his prime strength by eating his will.

“Huh!”

“You seem to know what it is. He’s an old senior I found in the mountains, and now he’s just hanging out with me… .”

“Oh my god! How can someone carry this on their body?”

“Isn’t that usually not possible?”

“No! My mind is going to collapse, but how can it be in such a perfect sphere shape?”

“Well. I’ve shed my shell three times, so I’m on the same level as this guy, so maybe that’s why.”

-That’s it.

Even the primordial god spoke thus. Hearing the god’s amazingly distinct voice, the Plough Lord was again astonished.

The Baekkan paradigm that defined the relationship between God and man has now been completely shattered.

So… … . First of all, to make it easy for you to understand, I’m saying superhuman, saint, and god. However, the god of the primordial god and the god of the new god that the Baekkan tribe speak of are different words. One is a word that simply means a great human, and the god of the primordial god means a truly great being.

However, the best person in the world right now was basically saying that humans can become ‘great beings’ if they train. And he just proved it. Through the god he carried around with him and considered to be his friend.

“This, this is.”

“You stutter a lot.”

This was a very big problem for the Plough Lord, a devout believer who drew a clear distinction between gods and humans.

If so, then the primordial god that he serves, who has not been fully restored, is just a powerful being that existed in the past, and he should not believe in it, but rather practice to become like it.

In other words, this leads to the story that humans are the most precious in the world, and that gods are not great, but are simply strong people of the past.

“?”

The World’s Most Powerful Man suddenly sparked a massive religious debate in the Baekkan League.

They say that religion has no place in a world where reason and learning have developed. But the world is truly amazing.

There are people with amazing intelligence who are devout believers, and there are also people who seem to have no intelligence who don’t believe in any superstitions.

Perhaps religion and intellect, faith and reason, are not opposed to each other, but can coexist.

Or maybe it’s because humans have intelligence and fill in the parts they can’t explain with faith, since animals with low intelligence don’t even recognize the afterlife.

On Earth, humans fought each other over religion. Of course, this leaves out whether Homo sapiens on Earth really thought of other races as the same human being.

The realm of belief is important. Do you think all religions say the same thing? There are universal stories. Don’t hurt others. Love others. Things like that.

However, religions that teach salvation through faith in God and religions that teach freedom from suffering through self-cultivation and effort cannot coexist because their core parts are different.

In that sense, Ol Chaun was a complete atheist. He believed that everything in the world could be explained, but we just didn’t know.

Cheon-geop was a very theistic person. He believed in God, and because he believed in God, he thought he could kill or save God. He also believed in fate.

And the best person in the world would rather worry about things in this life than worry about things like that. So he wasn’t really interested in the storm he had brought to the Baekkan Federation.

-Hey, buddy. This is the weapon I just made.

“hmm?”

-I like that shape. It looks like the waves can be sent out in beautiful shapes.

“Is that so? But I don’t think I can change your form with my own power.”

-I wish you could ‘re-train’ me. It’s hard with just your and my strength.

Because I’m not really interested in religion.
