Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 907



Only Noblemtl

907====================

True empty hometown

Woohoo

Since we could not delay, we followed the guidance of the Geosin public and came to the sealing place of the Yan Emperor Shennong. Although we were worried about whether the Great Heavenly Lord would be safe after fighting the Nine Leaders, we did not have time to consider his victory or defeat in detail. If we did not wake Shennong immediately, none of us would be safe.

‘I’ve been here before…’

The public told me.

[I have something to say to you, the apostles of God.]

Everyone’s attention was focused on Gong Gong. Gong Gong seemed to have recovered his strength considerably, and was slightly larger than before the Celestial Conquest. He looked back and forth between me and Mangryang and then spoke.

[First, I would like to thank you for doing your best to release my master’s seal. I will never forget that favor.]

“Public. It looks like you really have something to say.”

After the public nodded, he said.

[ However, even if my lord is released, I will not fight the evil spirit. ]

“What is the basis for this?”

[ In the past great war, the Lord and Emperor Gongsun Xianyuan fought fiercely several times. However, even in the midst of such fierce battles, the Giants and the Mansin Tribe implicitly established and followed the law of war. That law was not to provoke the evil spirits. ]

” ……”

[ The evil spirit is a very dangerous being. Anyone who touches him while he is asleep will see blood. As a close aide to the lord, I know how much he is wary of the evil spirit. Furthermore, the lord must unite and lead our clan anew…]

“So you’re saying that you wouldn’t want to fight a strong enemy when you’re busy ruling over the giants?”

[I understand your plan to use your lord’s power to resolve the current situation, but I wanted to tell you that it may be in vain.]

Mangryang replied.

“Strange. There’s no benefit to you or your lord if you tell us that. It only increases the possibility that we’ll give up on releasing Shennong’s seal and retreat. So why are you telling us that?”

The public spoke heavily.

[ … as I said, because I was indebted to you. I thought it would be shameless to keep my mouth shut.]

“I see. It’s a matter of loyalty.”

Mangryang glanced at me and said.

“Baek Woong. What should I do? If you don’t release the seal of Shennong, the power of my Heavenly Sun and Moon Seon will be greatly reduced.”

I shook my head.

“That’s not possible. Now that we’ve come this far, we have no choice but to do it. Even if Shennong doesn’t help us, we’ll let him go for now. That’s the only way we can turn the tide in the current situation.”

“That’s right.”

First memory

Mangryang lifted the Pacheonilwolseon and aimed it at the gray moon.

“Then, from now on, I will release the seal of the Third Emperor Yan Emperor Shennong!”

Woof woof woof!!

At the end of the Pacheonilwolseon, a black energy transformed into something like a bird and flew away, shaking off large waves. After flying for a while, the black energy reached the gray moon, and for a moment, invisible waves rang out like water droplets spreading through the air.

Soon, the gray moon began to slowly fall. As the gray moon fell, the world that had been immersed in a soft darkness became even darker and darker, and eventually, it became a pitch-black night. And after a while, a bright light began to rise from the horizon in the pitch-black night world.

Paaaaat

The sun is rising!!

And with the sun, the horizon blazed and boiled, and a huge hand of flame appeared, as if there were cliffs beyond the horizon. As the hand pressed down on the entire sea, a great heat wave began to illuminate the world. The owner of the hand did not reveal himself any more.

” … succeeded.”

“Then that being…”

“I am Emperor Shennong.”

It was different from what I had seen before. I could guess that it was a giant flame god of enormous size, but it had not yet been revealed to the front, and above all, it was like the ancient priests wearing the crowns of the five emperors in the past. However, the flame of Emperor Shennong was a pure white silver flame without any other colors, so it looked very different from the flame of Emperor Xu.

After a while, the words of Emperor Yan Shennong echoed in my head.

[ Did you release me…? ]

I took a step forward and shouted.

“Yes. I am Baek Woong, the disciple of Oje Jeon Wook. And the one next to me is Mangryang, the disciple of Mangryang Seonsa!”

[ ……]

“I dare ask you this. Currently, a wicked spirit is trying to invade the world and release the seal of the great demon in Luoyang! Please lend me your strength to stop him.”

[ Is Yeo-wa dead? ]

“He’s not dead. He’s just in a coma.”

[ As expected…]

As I answered, I could tell that Shennong was guessing at Nüwa’s condition. It was only natural, since most of Shennong’s seals had been opened by Nüwa, and now that Nüwa was in critical condition, it was the best time to break them. Shennong continued.

[ My people, public… have you also been saved by those people? ]

[ Yes. ]

[ Come here. ]

Swish!!

Gong Gong suddenly flew beyond the horizon and flew into the sun. Gong Gong’s figure, which had penetrated into the sun, was no longer visible, and it looked as if Shennong had absorbed Gong Gong. Shennong, who had been silent for a while, spoke again.

[ As the public said, the government has no intention of helping you. ]

” ……”

[ But you, you tried to bind me with a shallow trick… Did you try to force me to fight the evil spirit by making a contract in your name? If you wanted to break the seal, did you try to demand that I fight you like a fighting dog? ]

Oops!

It seems that as Gong Gong was absorbed into Shennong, his memories also flowed into Shennong. Gong Gong was always by our side, so he must have seen and heard our plans. However, this was also expected to some extent, so Mangryang answered calmly.

“Calm down. That was just something I said to convince Jeon-wook.”

[For that matter, only 20% of the original seals have been released. If you want to release the remaining 80% of the seals, aren’t you trying to make me promise to subdue the evil spirits?]

” ……”

[Answer.]

I could feel the wrath of the Flame Emperor. It seemed that even with 20% of the seals released, he still had the power to annihilate us.

“I wish you would, but I don’t think you’ll do that. I’ll just let it all go.”

Hoooow

Wangryang swung his Pacheonilwolseon again. And as the four black energies flew into the air, a moment later, along with resonance, the pure flame giant slowly began to rise, drying up the entire sea beyond the horizon.

Kugu Palace

“……!!”

big!!

It was so big. All we could see was Shennong’s ankles, and the rest of him seemed to stretch out somewhere in the sky. Only the flames of pure fire he was emitting were brightening the world to the point where it stung our eyes.

Mangryang continued speaking.

“With this, all seals have been released.”

[ So easily… He is indeed the apostle of the Mangryangseonsa. That person is truly an incredible being.]

As the Emperor was admiring him, Wang Liang spoke.

“Can you understand our sincerity?”

[Please listen to my story.]

The emperor’s anger seemed to have subsided. Wangryang sighed in relief and said.

“I don’t know if you understand our situation, but we intend to protect humanity while ultimately passing through the flood and reaching the outer dimension. We also intend to revive the giant Chiyou.”

[ Are you talking about Chiwoo? ]

“Yes. However, Chiyou’s limbs were torn off and sealed all over the world, and a powerful being like Zhuanxu was personally guarding the seals. In order to achieve our goal, we absolutely could not afford to be disliked by Zhuanxu. Therefore, we unintentionally offended the Yan Emperor, and we apologize for that.”

[I don’t care about such trivial matters. Why are you trying to wake Chiwoo up?]

“Because I believe that only with Chiyou’s power can we subdue the Emperor and his forces in the Pantheon and allow humanity to survive past the end. If we don’t subdue Zheng, we might be able to postpone the end of the world.”

[ ……]

After a while, the salt king laughed heartily.

[ Hoo hoo hoo… hahahaha. ]

He rang the place for a moment. It was a feeling of pleasure rather than anger or laughter.

[ Hahahahahahaha!!]

The Emperor, who had been laughing for a long time, then spoke to us.

[ You are so selfish that it is actually quite amusing, humans. Are you saying that you would turn the world upside down and lead it to destruction for the sake of your own race? Do you not even know the extent of Chiyou’s power? You are extremely selfish and stupid, but that is what makes you amusing.]

” ……”

[ But I also like that duality of human nature… so it can’t help but be fun! ]

Mangryang said calmly.

“I would like to ask Your Majesty the Emperor’s intentions. We ultimately want to awaken Chiyou, but doesn’t Your Majesty the Emperor wish to release his seal?”

The salt merchant asked in an interested voice.

[I would like to ask the main question again. What do you think the relationship between me and Chiwoo is?]

“I understand that Chiyou is a distant descendant of Emperor Yan and a giant god. Therefore, you consider Chiyou as one of your clansmen and have formed an alliance in the fight against the emperor?”

[ I guess it’s known like that in the human world…]

“……?”

[Completely different.]

The salt emperor’s words continued quietly.

[ Chiyou started fighting the emperor alone from the beginning, and killed the emperor’s incarnation in their first meeting. And those who followed him were not the giants, but the human race, and the main emperor simply watched Chiyou fight. ]

“……!!”

[ He is a being that cannot be understood by common sense. He is also a mass of cosmic power. He inherited my blood, but he is not a giant. Do not think of the matter of the main character and Chiyou together. ]

Chiyou isn’t a giant?!

Mangryang seemed a bit flustered, but soon regained his composure and spoke.

” … Are you saying that you don’t want the seal to be lifted?”

[ Yes. ]

“Why…”

[ As I said, he is infinitely dangerous. Since the system of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors has become a mess anyway, it would be easy for the main emperor to lead the giants and move. There is no need to wake him up and increase the danger. ]

” ……”

[You seem to have chosen me as your ally to awaken Chiyou and achieve the final victory, but I don’t think you have any reason to respond to my request. Likewise, I don’t want to fight the evil spirit, so please let me know that.]

Shit!

I appreciate you releasing the seal, but doesn’t that mean you’re just going to do whatever you want?!

I was astonished at the completely different reaction of the salt demon from before. Last time, he destroyed all kinds of monsters, such as the Sea God and Aokigahara tree, as soon as he was released, so I thought he would be friendly, but this time, it was not like that at all!

I shouted in anger.

“Yan Emperor Shennong!! Isn’t that too much! According to the law of causality, isn’t the fact that we saved you also a favor that should be repaid?”

[You don’t need to feel gratitude for the actions you took with obvious personal motives. Just be grateful, and don’t feel the need to be used.]

“Ugh, that’s not it…”

I was at a loss, but then I realized I had something to say.

“If the evil spirit lands and breaks the seal of Luoyang, the worst evil will come into the world! Shouldn’t we stop that?”

[It’s okay. It doesn’t matter.]

“Are you okay?”

[ The main idea is that this world is now inflamed. I will take my entire clan and go to another world. ]

” ……”

[ It is no longer our concern. ]

I was shocked by the salt emperor’s words, but soon I could see that his attitude had not changed at all.

‘That…was it.’

When I got Sunday in the Seventh Day Trial, the Emperor of Flames suggested that I go to another world with him. At the time, it was just a grateful offer, but when I think about it, it means that the Emperor of Flames had a strong will to move to another world rather than continue to interfere in the affairs of this world. The Emperor of Flames’ motivation to protect this world by fighting fiercely against evil spirits is bound to be weak!

Is there no other way?

It was when I was desperately racking my brain.

“Your Majesty, if that is so, then please defeat just one being.”

Mangryang came forward. The Emperor of Yan spoke to Mangryang’s suggestion.

[I bet you said you couldn’t do that.]

“Of course I know. Just take down the King of the Aokigahara Sea.”

[ … Good. I guess getting rid of the gatekeeper is something the main body will happily accept anyway.]

” thank you.”

[ Get out now. ]

Swish!!

The next moment, we all came out of the seal of the Flame Emperor and came to the surface world. The Flame Emperor must have sent us out. Wang Liang said with a sigh.

“At least the goal has been achieved…”

Minimum purpose.

In this life, I had to go to an extra-dimensional space to overcome the singularity, and the biggest obstacle blocking me from that extra-dimensional space was the Aokigahara Sea King. I was struggling to figure out how to defeat that being, and I ended up using the power of the Flame Emperor to solve the problem.

The reason I said it was minimal was because, unfortunately, I couldn’t use the power of the salt emperor to block the evil spirit or release Chiyou’s seal. I tried to kill three birds with one stone, but it seemed like I only achieved the minimum goal. I said to Mangryang.

“Mangryang. Is there no way to stop the evil spirit?”

” ……”

Mangryang, who had been wearing a stern expression, spoke after a while.

“No.”

“No…”

He spoke in a somewhat weary voice.

“Baek Woong, just do what you have to do. We will bear the rest of your fate.”

I knew it the moment I heard him say it.

It is a confirmed fact that evil spirits are trampling the world.
