Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 906
Only Noblemtl
906====================
True empty hometown
I immediately summoned Jeonwook and asked him to do it.
“Your Majesty, please listen to our request.”
Woof
Jeon-wook was summoned to the terminal through my mental world. Jeon-wook, who sent his incarnation to this world, seemed not to have any intention of directly incarnating to me. This was because directly incarnating through an apostle consumed a lot of causality, so sending a simple incarnation was more efficient.
Hwasin Jeon Wook said.
[What kind of favor do you have?]
“The evil spirit is currently trying to invade the Central Plains. We need strength to stop him.”
[ That’s what I’m talking about…]
Jeon-wook crossed his arms.
[Our three emperors came up with their own countermeasures against the evil spirits.]
“What is that?”
[ Decided to ignore it.]
” ……”
Jeon Wook said coldly.
[Whether he invades the Central Plains or not is not of much concern to us. If he wants to increase his power, then do so. We will not pay attention to him and will go and finish off Yeo-wa first.]
“Why? If evil spirits invade the Central Plains, wouldn’t it be a big problem?”
[ If the guy is normal, then yes. ]
” yes?”
After a while, Jeon-wook said something unexpected.
[ The evil spirit is currently in a sleeping state. After using powerful magic to protect numerous [former rulers], he himself was put to sleep in return. That is why he can never exert his power unless there is a proper causality. ]
“Hmm…”
[Even if the evil spirit’s followers who invaded the Central Plains gather numerous sacrifices, it will not revive him, but only provide him with a snack. He will never attempt a head-on confrontation unless it is the appointed time.]
Something is strange.
‘Are you sure that’s true?’
If the power of the evil spirit is reduced because it is sleeping… then what is the interference of the evil spirit that I have experienced in my past life?
What made me feel uncomfortable was the freedom and strength of the scar.
The evil spirit is very strong. Every time he appears, he shows incredible strength, and he has clearly proven that he may be even higher than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He easily killed the [former ruler] of the palace, and he even leisurely pushed Nüwa and Zhuan Xu, and he even showed enough magic to escape me from the Seven Nights Trial.
If that was just a halved power, then the evil spirit could be said to be a real monster itself, and if not, then it could be said that he used his power by obtaining a proper causality each time. It was not clear which one it was.
More importantly, the phantom seemed to operate with little restraint. Although it was nominally a sleeper, the phantom always intervened when it was necessary.
‘I think we need to learn more about the sleeping period of the phantom…’
[Sleep] itself could have been different from what others knew. At least considering the power of the evil spirit that I, the previous lifer, experienced, it was as if he didn’t have a sleep. However, seeing that even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors didn’t feel a great threat right away because the evil spirit was in the sleep, it was inevitable that there would be a sense of discomfort.
Jeon-wook continued speaking.
[Don’t worry about useless things, and quickly prepare the causality and sacrifice for us. Don’t waste time on such trivial things.]
“Your Majesty Jeon Wook.”
[Is he an apostle of Mangryangseonsa?]
Mangryang said as he took a step forward.
“We will revive the salt emperor Shennong.”
silence.
At that moment, Jeon Wook’s eyes lit up with a glow, and black flames flowed out in streams.
[Do you really want to die?]
” ……”
[There is a limit to how much you can be considered an apostle of the Mangryangseonsa. Trampling and destroying your feeble power is not a task for us, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors! At best, you are a human, but you cannot understand your own place.]
Kugugugu
With the wrath of Jeonwook, a loud noise as if the sky and the earth were turned upside down rang out, and dozens of lightnings connected the sky and the earth. An earthquake even began to resonate from under the ground. However, despite Jeonwook’s wrath, Wangryang spoke calmly.
“I am an apostle of the Master Mangryang, but at the same time, I am also a protector and agent of humanity. I have a duty to protect the human race. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors may only recreate humanity if it perishes, but that is not the case for us who live in this era.”
[ Are you saying that you will revive Shennong to stop evil spirits? ]
“Yes, that is our self-help strategy.”
Mangryang’s eyes became sharp.
“And now that Yeo-wa has fallen into a state of slumber and the seal has been greatly weakened, you should also know that it is possible to break Shennong’s seal by using your powers.”
[ Are you really going to try it? Alright… I’ll kill you. ]
Hwaruruk
I felt Jeon-wook begin to descend into my body. At that moment, I clenched my teeth so hard that they almost broke, strengthening my yin qi power to resist Jeon-wook.
‘Ughhhhhhhh!!’
Stop
Before Jeon-wook could take over my body, he stopped and went no further. He seemed bewildered by my resistance.
[This guy… Why are you making such pointless fuss? Don’t you know that my power is ultimately my power?]
“Now, listen to me for a moment… I’m not trying to provoke you, Jeon Wook!”
[Stop talking nonsense. I’ll kill you all.]
“Damn it… listen to me!!”
At that moment, I used the Sword Technique to summon the Sword, and I lifted the Sword and aimed it at my Adam’s apple. Then, Jeonwook slowed down and I said to him.
“If you lose me as an apostle, won’t your efforts to destroy Yeo-wa and strike down the emperor be greatly hindered? The earth is on the verge of destruction, so how can you find a better vessel than me now?”
[ ……]
Jeon-wook remained silent at my warning and then returned to his incarnation. He stopped his anger and spoke.
[Tell me.]
Mangryang said, his pale complexion barely returning to normal.
“I would like to know why you are so averse to resurrecting Shennong. Shennong is also one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and if he can stop the evil spirits, we can stop him without using our own strength. Is there anything wrong with this plan?”
[ Shennong is dangerous. ]
“In what way is it dangerous?”
Jeon Wook answered after a while.
[Before he became the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he was the king of the giants who roamed the universe. His priority is always the giants’ blood relatives, and he is not on good terms with us, the Five Emperors. Depending on the situation, there is a high probability that he will become hostile and try to eliminate us.]
“Shennong is the enemy of Emperor Gongsun Xuanyuan. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so wouldn’t it be like gaining a powerful ally?”
[Don’t make me laugh.]
Jeon-wook glared at Mangryang.
[The power of the Three Sovereigns is almost equal. They are all the highest divinities that were created at the same time as the creation of the universe. They were so exhausted in defeating Nüwa, but they are completely awakening the Three Sovereigns, Shennong, who has preserved his prime power? We don’t do stupid things like summoning a tiger to defeat a wolf.]
” ……”
[If you truly intend to awaken Shennong, I have no choice but to kill you all. There will be no compromise.]
I guess I’m stuck here.
‘Originally, it was Zhuge Liulong’s plan to awaken Shennong…’
I closed my eyes tightly inwardly. A plan to awaken Shennong and help break Chiyou’s seal, and furthermore, to safely overcome the flood! That was the plan that Zhuge Liulong had first come up with a while ago, and Wang Liang and Zhuge Shi opposed it. It was very advantageous to our side, but it was probably because they could clearly see Zhuan Xu’s opposition.
And now, as Wang Liang and Zhuge Liang had feared, the fact that Jeonwook was greatly angered by the resurrection of Shennong had become a reality. Perhaps Wang Liang and Zhuge Liang had opposed it, but in a situation where the evil spirit had been resurrected and was about to attack at any moment, there was no other way, so they decided to go with this plan.
How can I suppress Jeon-wook’s opposition?
Looking at the situation, it was obvious that not only Jeonwook, but also Jegok and Soho would oppose the revival of Shennong. When I was feeling depressed, Mangryang said.
“Isn’t it Chiyou, not Shennong, that you are truly afraid of, Your Majesty?”
[ ……!!]
“Shennong was originally on the same side as his descendant, Chiyou. As soon as Shennong is resurrected, he will begin the task of awakening Chiyou. If Chiyou is resurrected by any chance, he will seek revenge on the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who sealed him away. Isn’t that what you are afraid of?”
[Chiwoo can never be resurrected.]
“Isn’t it because you can’t be sure of that that you sealed your heart with five of your precious spears in [God’s Tomb]? Chiwoo is a monster to that extent.”
[ ……]
“Your Majesty, it may be the best plan to ignore the evil spirits and not revive Shennong, and to attack Nüwa first and then eat her divinity. However, Your Majesty, aren’t you overlooking one of the most important things in this situation?”
[What are you saying you are overlooking?]
Mangryang’s eyes lit up.
“This is Luoyang.”
[ What does that mean? ]
Mangryang continued speaking calmly.
“This Luoyang is the place where [the greatest and worst demon in history] is sealed. And you must know that the one who is directly sealing that demon is you, Master. However, due to the sudden departure of the [Ruler] of the palace not long ago, the magical power has been greatly reduced, and the barrier has also become weak. You must know that in this vacuum of power, if someone slightly shakes it, it may collapse.”
[ ……]
“As you might have guessed, that [demon] is that being. If this Luoyang falls, that being will be released and run wild. And the evil spirit is coming to the Central Plains to destroy Luoyang and awaken the demon.”
[ so?]
“The invasion of the evil spirits will not simply end with the extinction of the human race. If we fail to stop Luoyang, the great chaos will begin in the universe due to the great gathering of chaos. All the plans for the end will be distorted, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will not remain!!”
When Wangryang shouted sternly, Jeonwook became angry.
[ You impudent bastard! Isn’t your so-called master the one who’s blocking you anyways! You know that the evil spirit of the sleeping machine can never break through that seal in a short period of time, so how dare you threaten me! ]
“I can’t guarantee that!”
[ … what?]
Mangryang gritted his teeth.
“Master, you are greatly weakened! You must know that this seal itself, the thing that imprisons [the greatest and worst demon in history], is something that no one has ever attempted in the history of the universe! Do you think that such a miraculous seal can be easily maintained in this chaotic world? Furthermore, do you know why the evil spirit is trying so hard to break the seal of Luoyang?”
[Do you know the reason?]
Mangryang answered without hesitation. He seemed possessed.
“Yes. That’s because it’s the fastest way to the Throne of the End!”
[ ……!!]
Jeon-wook reacted as if he was hearing an unexpected story for the first time. Mangryang continued.
“According to the information Baek Woong obtained, [that being] is waiting at the end of the throne. In other words, the being that presides over the end! If that being wishes, and if the one who performed the great deed of releasing him from the seal deserves a reward, then of course he will be rewarded. The evil spirit is moving because he wants that reward.”
[ … Really?]
“Yes. The evil spirit is the one who competes with Emperor Gongsun Xuanyuan! Even at this moment, he is moving for the final victory.”
[ ……]
Mangryang aimed the Pacheonilwolseon at Jeonwook.
“Great Divine King Jeonuk! I, as the strategist Wangryang, offer my advice! In this situation, do not be foolish and blinded by small, short-term gains and lose sight of the greater picture! Only by saving humanity, Luoyang, and the Central Plains can the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also be saved!”
[ hmm.]
“This will ultimately give Emperor Wu the opportunity to put his sword to the Emperor’s neck!”
The veins on Wangryang’s neck were visible. He had used all his strength and courage to persuade Jeonwook. Even if he had the protection of Wangryang Seonsa and was protected by Jeonwook’s power, it was almost impossible for a mortal who was not even a reincarnated being to speak like that in front of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the world. However, Wangryang must have squeezed out all his courage for the sake of the world.
[ ……]
As Jeon-wook continued to remain silent, Mangryang folded his arms and spoke.
“However, it is true that we must eat Nüwa and increase our strength. However, if we focus only on blocking the evil spirits, we may face an unexpected counterattack from Nüwa. So, let’s leave the defense role of the Central Plains to Shennong.”
[ Everything is good, but unless there is a way to suppress Shennong, your plan is nothing more than an empty theory. ]
“There is a way to suppress Shennong. The way is…”
When Wangryang suggested another strategy, Jeonwook listened carefully. He thought for a while and then nodded.
[Good, Mangryang. This is a very good plan. If we do this, we can manipulate Shennong as we wish. All of our five emperors have decided to accept your plan.]
” thank you.”
[I permit you to break Shennong’s seal. Do as you wish.]
Paat
“Ugh, ugh, ugh……”
After a while, Mangryang sank to the spot as if his strength had been lost. I supported him, and Mangryang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said,
“With this, I was able to release the seal of the Three Emperors without incurring Jeon Wook’s hatred.”
“Good job!”
“Let’s move right now, Baek Woong. The situation is a race against time.”
“Every second counts. Is it true that the Nain Sect led by the evil spirit moves that fast?”
Mangryang sighed.
“It was so urgent that I didn’t have time to tell you, but in fact, the Nine Cultivation had already landed in the Central Plains by the time we were attacking Heaven.”
“What, what did you say?”
“And after we destroyed the heavens, the Nine Religion Leaders were already summoned, and the bishops under them were also realized in the human world through human sacrifice.”
” ……”
“The southern part of the Central Plains has already become a hell with many cultists, barbarians, and sea gods summoned. Right now, the Great Immortals of the Heavens and the Eight Immortals of the Middle Kingdom are out to rescue humans, but there are limits to their ability, and the Nine Cult Leaders have begun to step forward.”
” that…”
“I don’t know why, but… the evil spirit had already predicted that the heavens would be destroyed and causality would fall into chaos, and he moved one step faster than anyone else. At this moment, among all the great beings in heaven and earth, the one who is the most advanced is the evil spirit, and he is also the most dangerous being.”
It was a truly urgent situation.
As my complexion darkened, Zhuge Liang, who was standing next to me, spoke as if driving a wedge into my heart.
“We need to move quickly, just like Hyun-i said. According to the last report I heard, Jecheon Daeseong started fighting with the Nine Cult Leaders.”
