908====================

True empty hometown

We returned to our base. And Zhuge Liulong said.

“I received word that the Eight Immortals of China are going to support Jecheon Daeseong. For now, it seems like we can stabilize the battle situation.”

“Stuck? What kind of situation is it?”

“It seems like Jecheon Daeseong is somehow holding on. It seems like Jongri Kwon and Han Sangja are just starting to support him. I feel relieved now.”

” ……”

I made a suspicious expression. Zhuge Liulong saw my expression and seemed to have guessed what I was saying.

“I understand why you’re making that face. The absolute power of the Nine Cult Leader, who surpasses the apostles, should be destroying Jecheon Daeseong, so how can you endure that?”

“Oh, no, that’s not necessarily true.”

“It’s the difference between ‘talent’ and ‘medium’.”

” what?”

“Considering the situation, the current leader of the Nine Churches may be strong, but he is not someone that is too difficult to handle.”

There was a semi-confidence in Zhuge Liulong’s words.

‘Do you know something?’

However, the other strategists of the Zhuge family seemed to have guessed about Zhuge Liulong’s ‘confidence’ and did not seem particularly surprised. Zhuge Liu stepped forward and continued speaking.

“Brother. I see you’re planning on doing something with the Ancients. Will it take a long time?”

“I don’t know. It depends on how many powerful beings there are among the ancients.”

“You’re asking me to buy you some time.”

Zhuge Li nodded and continued speaking.

“Then I’ll use the secret weapon first. Leave the time-buying to me.”

“Zhuge Liang! Is this a secret move?”

Zhuge Liang glanced at me and then said.

“Do you know what the most difficult problem is for our side to deal with the evil spirit’s forces right now?”

“Um… I don’t know.”

“It’s the quantity. They’ve already taken over the southern part of the Central Plains, and they’re using human sacrifice to summon all sorts of monsters and two-legged magicians. We have the power to deal with their high-ranking soldiers and officers, but we’re short on numbers, so it’s difficult to stop their attacks.”

“Are you saying you’re going to use tricks to handle the quantity?”

“Yes. But if you use this strategy… I won’t be able to follow you anymore.”

” huh?”

” ……”

Zhuge Shi didn’t say anything. I read the calmness in his eyes and realized that they were eyes that accepted death. His current strategy was to use his life as collateral! I was surprised, but Zhuge Shi soon smiled and said.

“Haha, I can’t help but say something. Is this sad? Doesn’t it bore you?”

” what?”

“Every time your comrades risk their lives, you get surprised and distressed… How long do you think you can endure this, Baek Woong? Hundreds of times? Thousands of times? Isn’t it time you started to feel like everyone else but you is just a puppet? Your own existence is the closest thing to the path of magic in the world. In that sense, there is no king more kingly than you.”

” ……”

“It is impossible to give meaning to every sacrifice. In the end, death is not even a light joke.”

I muttered with a trembling voice.

“Don’t say that.”

“Who else but me could say such a thing? Who else in this world would recognize the worthlessness of life?”

“Ugh, I know everything! I know that, but that doesn’t mean…”

“You’re going to pretend to be angry and distressed for the sake of your petty humanity, right? It’s obvious now.”

Zhuge Liang laughed at me.

“That’s enough. It’s annoying. Do you know that even the people watching are exhausted? It’s not like we’re putting on a show.”

” ……”

“Don’t force your emotions. I don’t want to see you.”

theater.

I felt a prick in my heart at those words. It was true that I always felt sad and miserable, but Zhuge Shi’s words pierced my heart to some extent. After all, I knew that I was forcing myself to feel emotions and driving myself to the deaths of my comrades. When I remained silent, Zhuge Shi continued.

“I’ll tell you this over and over again, as long as you and I walk the same path. Instead of squeezing out fake tears, just smile. That’s better for us.”

“You want me to laugh…?”

“That’s better. Just smile as if nothing happened.”

Zhuge Liang chuckled.

” … and if you can smile at the last moment, it’s your victory. That’s the world.”

” okay.”

I could understand what Zhuge Liang was saying.

The contradiction that one should be sad, but trying to be sad actually wears down one’s humanity even more.

The boundary between loyalty and reality.

Zhuge Liang must have advised him not to waste his emotions and energy every time, but to just laugh.

‘From now on, let’s not be sad about each and every thing.’

Not only for myself, but ultimately for all my colleagues, the feeling of sadness is not helpful.

……

I feel like I’m gradually… growing.

Is this a good thing?

Zhuge Liang said.

“If I and Jegal Yu-ryong utilize the power we have, we will be able to hold off the evil spirit’s forces for about 5 days. Baek Woong, you, in the meantime, plan a route and secure as much causality and strength as possible to break through the flood. That should be the basic strategy.”

“How do I plan the route?”

“Hyun-i will tell you that.”

Mangryang began to explain the operation.

“Currently, our first goal is to break through the flood, and our second goal is to secure the karma to offer to the Three Emperors, including Jeonwook. However, our first goal is not something we can pursue until Shennong takes action himself to capture the ruler of the flood, and even if we do enter the entrance to the outer dimension, if we are not prepared, we will not have the strength and stamina to search for and obtain the Four Great Gods. Therefore, we must keep in mind our second goal, securing the karma, and for that, our father and uncle will buy us five days.”

” hmm.”

“Even if we say that it is securing the law of causality, to put it bluntly, it is securing the treasure to offer to God. The reason it is called the path is because we need to secure the treasure efficiently and scrape together as much as possible. I will explain the path from now on, so listen carefully.”

“Okay.”

I listened carefully to the plan of the operation. After hearing the whole route, I felt a little skeptical and said.

“Is it possible? Of course, if everything goes according to plan, we will gain unparalleled power, but if we are not careful, we may suffer an unexpected defeat in the middle due to accumulated exhaustion after a fierce battle.”

“Don’t worry. This operation is different from the previous ones. I’m sure it will be successful.”

“What’s different?”

“It’s not just the Hwangsin side that has secured supplies.”

Pfft!!

We started moving quickly. First, before moving along the route, we went to Guangdong, where Jecheon Daeseong fought the battle.

‘You must know about the power and strength of the Nine Churches.’

And when they arrived at the great fortress of Guangdong Province, Jecheon Daeseong waved his hand as if he had been waiting for them. Jecheon Daeseong was fighting while protecting the tens of thousands of human refugees gathered in this fortress.

” Open! Welcome.”

“Daesung!! My left arm…”

Jecheon Daeseong smiled bitterly.

“It got cut off. That kid was pretty good, wasn’t he? As expected from the first apostle of the evil spirit.”

I couldn’t help but be shocked. Jecheon Daeseong’s left arm had been torn off. Of course, his strength hadn’t diminished much, but the fact that such a powerful fighter had lost an arm gave me an idea of ​​the power of the Nine-Way Leader.

‘Perhaps the arm isn’t recovering because of the evil spirit’s magic…’

Jecheon Daeseong continued speaking.

“It’s not that I can’t win, though. With the help of all the Eight Immortals, I’m confident I can defeat him.”

“Um… I want to know more about the battle with that guy. I want to know what it looks like, and what kind of magic or fighting style it uses.”

“It’s a fighting style.”

Jecheon Daeseong thought deeply and then said.

“That guy had the body of an ordinary human male. According to the human general, he was the head of a martial arts school called Haenampa. And he fought by simply strengthening his body with magical power and pushing forward with brute force and speed.”

“…is this the body of a martial artist?”

“Okay. Is there anything strange?”

” no…”

I trailed off, but questions were already forming in my head.

‘Why didn’t the evil spirit send down the Nine Cult Leaders through the portrait reporter?’

Up until now, the evil spirits have used the half-causality granted to the portrait spirits to awaken the portrait spirits, or have long-term magical powers to make them move as they wish. Zhuge Liulong also did not realize this fact and was hit in the back of the head. Furthermore, this time, the evil spirits showed unexpected movements, so Zhuge Liulong could not even seal the portrait spirits separately.

However, the evil spirit did not use the powerful body of the portrait artist to create the Nine Leaders, but rather used a mere human to create the Nine Leaders, who were apostles. This was clearly strange. Even if it was a body of a martial artist, it was incomparable to the Nine Leaders summoned by the portrait artist.

Mangryang said to Jecheon Daeseong.

“I heard that the Nine Cult Leader has retreated to the Nine Cult camp and is not seen. Did you hit him hard?”

“Of course. Thanks to Palseon’s help, I was able to hit his weak point and pierce his chest three times. He won’t die since he’s immortal, but he’ll probably lose a lot of strength.”

“I see. Then, could you possibly hold out in Guangdong Province as a base for as long as possible? So that they can’t advance any further north.”

The face of Jecheon Daeseong crumpled at Mangryang’s words.

“… Are you kidding me? Even if we evacuate the tens of thousands of humans gathered in this castle right now and form a separate special force with the Celestial Warriors, it won’t be enough. You want us to fight against those guys while protecting the humans as well?”

Mangryang bowed his head.

“Reinforcements will arrive soon. Please hold on. If we allow the Nine Cults to land inland any longer, human sacrifices will occur and the Nine Cult leaders and bishops will gain infinite regenerative powers. As a result, the Nine Cult leaders will gain powers comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.”

“Ugh. This situation is really shitty. Originally, we were planning to abandon Guangdong Province and evacuate the humans.”

” sorry.”

“Then, I have no choice but to call all the remaining celestial warriors here. Is that okay? It looks like all nine bishops of the Nine Church will be participating in the next round, so I really need your support.”

” it’s okay.”

“Hey, if that happens, the other fronts won’t be suppressed. The advance north will be blocked because the fighters in other places are holding back the Nine-Nine Dogs with just one unit. If you bring the fighters here, what are you going to do with the other places?”

“As I said, reinforcements will come. Gather the fighters and block the Nine Cultists and Bishops here as much as possible. That should be enough.”

” … Okay, I’ll believe it for now.”

After a series of operational deployments, we left Guangdong Province where Jecheondaeseong is located. Wang Liang said to me.

“It’s fortunate that the Nine Leaders are weaker than we thought. Let’s proceed as planned.”

“I don’t understand. Why didn’t the Nine Religionists use the portrait technique in their own form?”

” ……”

Mangryang remained silent for a while before speaking.

“The evil spirit may be planning a greater destruction. The bigger the stakes, the more power he will need, I can imagine. But we can’t do anything about it now…”

“A greater catastrophe?”

“First of all, Zhuge Liulong will use all the Bagua to seal the remaining energy of the Great Guardian Spirit, so let’s not think about that anymore. It would be pointless to think about something that we can’t stop even if we know about it.”

Paat

We then went to the Mudangpa. And inside the Mudangpa, we entered a secret room and were able to find a sword.

“Try to pull it out using your psychic powers.”

“Okay.”

Kugugugu

As Mangryang said, I gathered all my psychic power into my hand and gripped the handle of the sword, applying strength. As the strength was injected, a loud noise rang out around the sword, and soon I felt a conflicting power tingling through my wrist.

Crackle! Crackle!

“Ughhhhh!!”

What…what is this power?

‘Is it divine power?’

But it wasn’t the power of the yin jiao. It wasn’t the power of the yin jiao, but it was a power that somehow felt like a trace of a ‘mask’, and that fact meant that this sword was proof that it was a relic of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. I pushed with force for a long time, putting all my effort into calming down the power of the sword, and after a while, when I put strength into my arm, the sword was pulled out with a jerk.

Chiriring!!

The sword was pulled out with a clear sound and I held it in my hand. However, I had used up my psychic power to a considerable extent, and I felt my breath coming up to my throat. I could not believe that I could pull out this sword after going through all this trouble.

“Huh… Huh… What kind of power is this… That there could be such a relic on the surface.”

There is no chin. If the power of the yin shan had not reached the great sage, and if the power of the three-tenths had not been additionally obtained through the descent of Jeonwook, the strength would have flowed back and died while trying to pull it out.

“That’s why Jang Sam-bong Jin-in must have warned me on purpose.”

Mangryang smiled bitterly and said.

“Baek Woong, congratulations. With this, you have become the first to obtain the Uicheon Sword.”

The Sword of Heaven!!

The strongest divine sword in the Central Plains that has been sealed for generations since the time of Jang Sam-bong in the Shamanist faction, and that Jang Sam-bong Jinin called [the sword of the false god king] and warned that it would be no different from a disaster and that one should never draw it!! Now, I have forcibly drawn it using my yin jiao power.

The reason why he obtained the Sword of Heaven was not only because it would be good to use as a sacrifice for the law of causality in the future, but also because it was in a good location to obtain, and because it could be used as a good weapon while moving along the path in the future. Naturally, from the scholars’ point of view, he had no choice but to obtain it first.

“Huk… Huk… Just a little… Easy… Just work…”

“There’s no time for that. I have to finish everything I have to do today. Five days is not a long time at all.”

I begged for a break while my nose was bleeding profusely, but Mangryang spoke firmly.

“Let’s go kill Peng Zhou right now. My uncle said he’s ready to attack him in cooperation with Dr. Faust.”
