Only Noblemtl
Episode 146. Religion and Diplomacy, God
A tyrant obsessed with shedding his shell. The Tyrant King cast off his obsession and desire for shedding his shell and was reborn as the King of the Extinction City.
The fact did not spread for some time (about 12 years) because the King of Myeoldos was more focused on stabilizing Goaran’s politics than making himself known.
Soon, the existence of the King of Extinction was revealed. This was a great shock to the East, the North, the West, and the South.
“You’re the sixth rookie!”
First of all, this is the most common reaction. I can’t tell you how shocked the Baekkan Lords were. They thought they were dreaming while being skewered.
“It’s the new face of Iyakan! The dragon god has appeared in Iyakan!”
This is the reaction of the Iyakans. The racial inferiority complex that they had with the apes was completely resolved. They were also clearly beings who could become gods.
However, it wasn’t the Dragon God. The King of Mystery himself said so.
“No. It’s not Yongshin, it’s Yongbul.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Your Majesty! Come and welcome our God!”
The fragmented monarchs of Seiwamuyu welcome the King of the Extinction. Without anyone saying anything, they rushed over as soon as the rumors were confirmed to be true.
“Oh! You really are the third person to escape!”
“That majestic figure… … . Uh. Majesty… … . Hmm.”
“You’re not a dragon god?”
First of all, I am really touched that he is a rookie. And I also found out that he is going in a different direction from the ‘Yongshin’ they had in mind.
“I thought that if you were a newcomer to Iyakan, you would be the biggest and strongest dragon in the world and its contractor… … .”
“It seems like this person is actually out of the contract.”
“What mystery have you discovered?”
To the extent that the Iyakan Dragon Kings couldn’t help but be perplexed. Neither the Mysterious King nor the Unmanned Dragon felt the dragon’s heart within their bodies. In other words, theoretically, this is a state where one should die because one’s organs are missing.
But he’s alive and well. I can feel the dignity and momentum of the third escapee. But it’s not a necromancy.
A mystery that cannot be explained. People accept it as a religious revelation.
“Iyakan’s obsession with power, building up power, and practicing had limits.”
“Rather, by throwing away his power, the Tyrant King has shed his shell. We too must follow his will… … .”
To the Dragon Kings who think like this, the King of Mystery speaks simply.
“no.”
“No?”
“There are different paths for each person. There is no wrong path for the Dragon God. You cannot become me by doing what I do. Each person has a different Buddha.”
“???”
“Neither the ancient gods nor the present gods are wrong. Listen. The important thing is to know. We must know that we do not know… … .”
The dragon kings of Iyakan listen to the sermon of the King of the Extinction City and fall into different religious aspirations, each coming up with different interpretations.
However, the religion that accepted that universal teaching and was led by, or rather mentored by, the King of the Extinction became the most mainstream religion among the religious Iyakans.
This is the birth of the Buddhism of Nirvana, which strives to achieve Nirvana by shedding all attachments and afflictions. The monks who have shed all desires and are only practicing diligently, as well as the refined works of art, are its symbols.
In order to let go of their obsession with appearance, Iyakan monks shave off all their feathers and wear clothes made from their own skin.
And some of them attain a kind of enlightenment and display supernatural powers like the King of the Nirvana Way. Some become superhumans and saints, and the King of the Nirvana Way tells them that there are different paths for each of them, and that if they just shed the last layer, they can truly become the three enlightened ones, the Buddhas… … .
In short, the King of Myeoldo did not pursue a particularly aggressive expansion policy.
Rather, like All Cha-un and Cheon Ha-jeil-in, he spoke of love and peace.
Furthermore, it is a pan-ethnic mercy. The mercy that Iyakan gives to Baekkan.
Good deeds and charity that expect no reward.
I truly approached the world with an attitude of knowing the world and myself, emptying myself, realizing that I do not know, and truly approaching the truth.
“What the hell are you talking about.”
The incarnation of flame. It was an absurd thing to hear from Ol Chaun, who had led civilization. Ol Chaun met with the King of the Extinct City, and really said this in front of him.
“Hmm. So. What kind of mystery is it?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t know?”
“Yes, you may investigate. Tell me what my true condition is.”
“Castle Laurent?”
“Yes. Let me take a look.”
After examining the body of the King of the Extinction, the greatest mystic and scholar of this era, Kaslo Loran, comes to a simple conclusion.
“???”
You say you don’t know anything.
“Well, I don’t know at this level of science.”
“you also?”
“It’s not magic. It’s not memes. It’s not will. It’s not flesh, it’s not prayer. It’s not a force from nature. It’s not a celestial power… … . Well, there’s no other way to explain it than as the power of a transcendent being that is truly incomprehensible.”
“okay……?”
The King of the Extinction possessed many powers that were impossible to explain. It was extremely strange, considering that other escapees and mystics only had a few mysteries based on themselves.
In short, the King of Mystery was able to exert tremendous physical force from a distance.
And he could heal the wounded and objects, and he could cure all diseases, including ‘Hanjutamal’.
They use various powers like wizards, but it is not magic.
It seems as if he can see into the future, or maybe it’s clairvoyance. He also shows miraculous powers, such as predicting events in places from a distance.
He could fly in the sky if he wanted to, he could neutralize mysteries, he could teleport his people to different places regardless of magical pressure, and he could even regenerate his body if it was broken into three pieces.
It is too… …diverse to explain as one mystery. In short, it seems that there is nothing that the King of the Extinction cannot do.
And omnipotent beings are not within the realm of science.
“In the distant future, I will be able to explain my abilities. It would be great if sentient beings could be saved through scholarship.”
Is that really true?
“The most reasonable explanation for the current model is that the King of Mystery is not ‘using’ the laws of the universe, mathematical logic like magicians, but rather he has become a part of the principles of the universe. Instead of Yongsim, we discovered a microcosm inside the King of Mystery. It was a universe so perfectly formed that it was hard to believe it existed in such a tiny human body. The laws of the universe were created there. You could call it using the theory. It is assumed that he simply uses it according to providence… … .”
“Hmm… … . I think that explains the phenomenon itself the best. So how is that possible?”
“… … I don’t know. The minimum size that constitutes ‘universe’ and ‘world’ is scientifically thousands of kilometers, but there is a universe in the human body? How do you explain this?”
The King of Mystery did not know the principle of becoming like himself. However, he knew the method and direction.
“I will reorganize the system. I will support learning, promote culture, and seek abundance, but I will make charity a virtue.”
He carries out politics that are on par with the all-powerful Datang. It is as if a person has changed overnight.
He can now converse with the primordial gods as an equal, he does not get angry at anyone, he does not force anything on anyone, and he invests all his energies in the happiness of his people.
“Rule us forever, O great and merciful King of the Extinct World!”
Ah. It was at this point that I actually received the title of ‘Murder King’. Of course, I didn’t call myself the Murder King.
She gratefully accepts the title and becomes the mistress of all the Nanyang Iyakans. She also becomes the mistress of a great empire that universally rules not only the Iyakans but all the races within her territory.
There is no Seiwamuyu anymore. The dynasty that was in the east of Datang. The dynasty that was attached to the castle Rokoro floating in the sea, Baekara. In addition, the Iyakan community on the islands to the south are united as one through the powerful symbol of the Myeoldoseongwang and are bound together as ‘Goaran’. It means those who are taught just like before, and it fits the most.
“Great King! There are those who do not listen to the teachings of the Extinction Sect!”
“Just leave it alone.”
“yes?”
“You have to let go of your desires yourself. There is no point in letting go because someone else tells you to. Rather, there is a realm where you can achieve your desires by pursuing them. Just because I said it was impossible, don’t think it’s impossible at all. Yongsin is actually possible.”
“ah……!”
“The primordial gods are also gods in their own way. Let us respect that.”
King Myeoldoseong was a religious leader, but he was a strange person who was tolerant of other religions. He was not enthusiastic about gaining influence through the spread of religion, as is commonly thought.
As a result, the country began to have various ideas going around. They began to discuss what the second Iyakan would look like.
Some dragon kings simply followed the path of the King of Extinction, some continued to practice to become dragon gods, and some chose a different path altogether.
“I just happened to be here first. You too can become Buddha or God in your own way.”
So, in the form of simply ‘respecting’ the King of Mystery, they also respect the religion of the ancient gods, accept superstitions, folk religions, etc. of each region, and create their own sects to break away from them, write new scriptures, and realize mysteries… … In other words, Goaran has become a place like a melting pot of religions that sucks up all religious aspirations.
“Show mercy to Baekhan. There is no eternal enemy.”
The so-called Baekkan who were influenced by the country. Baekkan monks who shaved their beards and hair themselves began to appear. Even mixed race people who were not accepted by Datang gathered in Goaran. Even in the East, there were Tocha people who headed to Goaran. The Tatap nomads also inherited the teachings and moved south to Goaran.
If All Chaun created the country of Daton, Myeoldo Seongwang created a country that is bound by religion, not race. No matter how different you and I are, if you and I speak the same language, we are the same people.
“Don’t fight. Love. Spread the right teachings. All the best in the world said so. I said so too, so I will treat everyone the same way.”
“Know the world. Study history like a datang, and learn mathematics. There is nothing more important than knowing about the world.”
“Do it to become a better person. Don’t be proud. If you have it, give it. If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it.”
“It doesn’t have to be complicated. Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to you.”
The King of Mystery is a great religious leader who unites and governs a great empire encompassing the east, west, south, and north. The territory expands without a single war. The population increases and happiness increases.
This doesn’t look good to the leaders of neighboring countries.
“Isn’t that just stealing from the people while saying nice things?!”
“Stop plundering? You want us to take the good land and live in luxury while we starve to death in this cold North Sea?”
“The Iyakans are such hypocrites… … Our gods do not wish to be reconciled with you!”
Even though he didn’t know what he was thinking, Datang didn’t like the Iyakans’ sly attitude of trusting the newcomers and trying to establish diplomatic relations on equal terms with Datang, not bending on major issues, and always only looking for profit.
The same goes for the thousand eons. He could not give up his desires, and instead, he felt unsatisfied unless he took over the world.
Baekkan is my enemy for over ten thousand years.
And in fact, excluding the King of Myeoldo himself, most of the people of Goaran simply wanted to believe in gods, strengthen their national power, and then commit gangsterism against neighboring countries, rather than pursue love, peace, and mercy.
“The best in the world. It is an honor to meet you again like this.”
“Hehehe… … . Now you are no longer my disciple, but my teacher. I have some good tea for you. Would you like to have some with me?”
It seems that the only good relations are with the East. The Iyakan monks and the religion that came from them successfully took root in the East.
The Middle Ages of the Faith. The peace established by the emergence and influence of the Myeoldo Seongwang lasted for nearly 200 years.
And about 200 years later, in the year 782 of the Era of Faith, the peace is now coming to an end. Discontent is building up and is on the verge of exploding, passing the critical point.
The first explosion surprisingly started in Datang.
