Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 925



Only Noblemtl

925====================

True empty hometown

This is it…

‘That’s nonsense!’

I had poured all my treasures into negotiations with Emperor Shennong. Even though I was a reincarnation and could collect all the precious treasures of this world, it was impossible to find any more treasures in this life. How could I pay Shennong more in return when I had already crossed over to the outer universe? If the Giant King Suin gave up here, I would have no other way.

But instead of going crazy and yelling at Suin, I calmed down and regained my senses. Then I said to Suin.

“I don’t understand why you are doing that. Please explain the situation clearly.”

[ good night.]

Phew

As Suin pushed the air with his hand, time suddenly stopped. To be exact, only Suin and I were able to move in the stopped time, and the destroyed palace and surrounding scenery remained the same. Seeing how he could stop time so casually, I thought that Suin was indeed a god, no less than the Emperor.

Suin said after a while.

[ The one you just defeated is an incarnation. And its true form is stronger than mine. I am helping you as an incarnation of Shennong, but fighting that being is a costly undertaking. Do you need a clearer explanation than this? ]

” … That’s what I don’t understand. The main body.”

I told Suin.

“Are you saying that guy is [the former ruler]?”

[ I see. ]

“……!!”

really?!

I had no idea, but when the shocking truth came right before my eyes, my head started spinning.

[Old Ruler]!

In that case, it cannot be seen in the category of a mere human or a magician. This is because the opponent can already be said to be a cosmic being and has become a transcendent being. Also, only those who have reached the realm of the same ruler can deal with the [Ruler], and it is absolutely out of reach with my mortal power.

I came to my senses and asked again.

“Suin, even if that is true… we have not even seen the true form of the bastard yet. How can the King of the Giants of the World assume that the enemy is stronger than him before even seeing him?”

[ Divine beings can discern each other’s rank the moment they meet. It is even easier to discern if the other party reveals it openly. And the power of the entity that the King discerned was of a rank that I could not handle.]

” ……”

[ It must be a powerful being that is hard to find in the entire universe. ]

I thought about it carefully and then said.

“… Does that mean… that the power of Dharma’s body surpasses that of the Three Sovereigns, Shennong?”

[ That is not true. It means that I, as an incarnation of Shennong, cannot win against a cosmic being. No matter how much I represent Shennong’s power, there is a limit. I may be able to combine to some extent, but because of the gap in divinity, I will ultimately lose because my power will be lacking.]

Even as he was talking about his own defeat, he was extremely calm. It meant that the Giant King Suin had a lot of experience in divine battles and was calmly assessing the situation.

“Can we say that Dharma’s power is at least comparable to that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?”

[ That’s a good analysis.]

“Uh… uhm…”

I felt dizzy and let out a sigh.

‘No way… I would have thought that Dharma would be a [former ruler] of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors…’

It is unknown whether Dharma was originally the [Old Ruler] or whether he became the ruler from a human origin like Changjie.

But what is certain is that even if Suin and I join forces, the odds of defeating Dharma are not very high. And even if we could win, Suin would have no reason to fight to the death, so he would refuse any further assistance. No matter how great the offerings I made, fighting the true body of a god was a matter of a different level.

What should I do?

My eyes widened and I was desperately lost in thought.

‘No…!! In this life, even if I die, I have to somehow obtain the Four Great Gods before I die!’

If I die now, I will have to go through this hardship again. Putting everything else aside, it is nearly impossible for a mortal to break through the Aokigahara Sea King, so I will need divine assistance again, and to do that, I will have to collect a huge number of treasures, and in the meantime, there is no way that something will go wrong. It is actually incredibly lucky that I have come this far, and that luck was supported by the causality of the direction that [the source of order] Bango gave me!

If I die this time, there is a possibility that I will never be able to return to the outer space again, even if I die 100 times in the future. There is no option to die without obtaining the Four Great Gods. No, even if I don’t obtain them, I must at least find out their whereabouts!

I gritted my teeth and politely held out the raw celestial plate I had with both hands and shouted.

“I’ll give you the original heavenly plate!! With this, I’ll do whatever…”

[ No. Even if it is an ancient treasure and a creation of Fuxi, the situation has already gone too far. ]

Suin continued speaking, waving her hand coldly.

[ From the beginning, no matter how much of a contract it was, what the [Ruler] gives to a mortal is always a favor, not an obligatory relationship. If I, the Giant King Suin, were to die, it would be a great blow to the main body, Shennong, so I would be even less able to help. ]

” ……”

Is it because the damage to Shennong would be greater if Suin died, so they cannot accept any large offering?

In that case, it would be a failure to find a way out by offering now. Now, the only treasures left in my hands are the wooden armor, the rain lamp, and the Primordial Heavenly Plate. Since the Primordial Heavenly Plate is rejected outright, it would be meaningless to give the wooden armor and rain lamp. Although these are excellent treasures of magic, even if they are combined, they are not even worth half of the Primordial Heavenly Plate.

Ha, but if I can’t catch Suin, then attacking Dharma would be like throwing eggs at a rock… I can’t even think about getting the Four Great Guardian Spirits back.

Is there really no way?

I thought desperately and thought again. Then suddenly a good idea occurred to me and I said.

” … I dedicate this book to you!! What do you think?!”

This is a mess!

‘Can’t it work out somehow?!’

I took the Cheonam Secretary out of my bosom and handed it to Suin. Now, this is the only thing I have left.

[ Hmm. Is this a grimoire? ]

Su-in received the Cheonam secretary and read it through once. Then she threw it back at me and said.

[ An unknown alien language. Which galaxy group’s rural civilization’s magician created it? I don’t need it, so throw it away. ]

Warm

I came to my senses and picked up the book after being hit in the forehead by the corner of the Cheonam Secretary that Suin had thrown.

” ……”

Oh…

It was a strange thing. Chang-hil and Yo-sun showed strange reactions as soon as they read Cheon-am-bi-seo and were consumed by the book, but Su-in just treated it like trash as if she was just talking nonsense.

‘I was looking forward to it because I thought maybe Secretary Cheonam was the one who locked those guys in the book…’

what?

Chang-Hyeol and Yo-Sun are sucked in, but why isn’t Su-In?

‘Is there a separate standard for absorption?’

While I was wondering inside, Suin said.

[Is this all I have to say? Then I guess I’ll be going now.]

“Shut up!! This is outer space, how do you plan on going back!!”

[The Watcher told me earlier. I can return whenever I want. If I go back to the area I passed through earlier, I can return.]

Wheezing

Suin turned her back. Now, if I blinked just once, Suin would really leave, so I cried out desperately without realizing it.

“Law – Moon – !!!”

Stop

Suin stopped as he was about to disappear into space through teleportation. He closed the dimensional door with his hand again and looked back at me and said.

[What dharma are you talking about?]

“The sermon of the Mother of No Life… Dharma will create that sermon!!”

[ Hmm… Is that something I’ve only heard through rumors… ]

” yes!!”

I started to talk desperately as I could.

“When all the teachings of the Motherless Mother gather, huh? What the heck, a vacuum fragrance will occur!! A vacuum fragrance is a bad thing!! When that happens, it’s a big problem and everyone will try to steal the teachings. Shouldn’t we stop that?”

Nonsense… I ended up not even knowing what I was talking about. I had a mission that I absolutely had to accomplish in this life, so it wasn’t the time to be concerned about my appearance. However, Su-in must have understood what I was saying, because he stopped and seemed to think about it carefully.

Then he said,

[ I felt a sense of discomfort, but this world seems to be a past version of our world. And Dharma is also a [past] figure in our world, but is he living in the present here? The distance of space and time is too absurd to be considered time travel… If that’s the case…]

Suin thought for a while, then looked at me as if she had finally come to a conclusion. Then she said.

[ It has nothing to do with me. Then take care. ]

” … yes?!”

I ran towards Suin as if I was in a hurry and shouted while jumping around.

“Wait a minute!! I’m talking about the Dharma! It’s a Dharma that will cause a great disaster if it’s completed, so all the [old rulers] are trying to secure it. Don’t you know the danger, Your Majesty?”

[ Of course I know. Because I heard the news even when it was sealed. If I get the chance, I will secure the Dharma even if it means sacrificing this existence. ]

“Then I guess I should fight Dharma!”

[Not fighting.]

“No, why on earth…”

[Because this is outer space. [Outside] the universe, a place where no common sense applies.]

Suin said, crossing her arms.

[ Therefore, this is not the [past] of our world. It is a completely different world, with only a similar appearance. Perhaps even the laws of the universe may be completely different from ours. What would be the point of securing something that is not the law of our world? Even the symbolism and power of that law may be completely different.]

” ……”

[Baek Woong-yi. I don’t know why you came to outer space. However, I guess our relationship ends here.]

” for a moment…”

Suin sighed.

[ I don’t know which number this is… Okay.]

Pfft!

The figure of Su-in disappeared from that spot, and at the same time, the space where time had stopped returned to its original state. It was clear that they had decided to leave the outer space because they no longer wanted to talk to me.

” ……”

Suin jumped out…

I fell to my knees in despair for a moment.

“Eww…”

It’s all over now.

If I had Su-in’s help, I could have somehow pushed forward with the causality of Jeong-hyang and won the fight against Dharma, but now I have to fight Dharma, the [former ruler] of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, with only my bare hands. Of course, my chances of winning would be dozens of times lower than throwing an egg at a rock.

It’s easier when you’re dead.

When you die, you can start over.

But that’s not possible. I know that if I start over, it’ll be too hard to get here. But that doesn’t mean I have a chance of winning here, so if I keep fumbling around, I might get caught by Dharma and get tortured or turned into another creature.

I was just breathing with empty eyes, unable to do anything.

Choke choke choke

And then, as I knelt there, dozens of cold blades were pointed at my neck.

Emperor Xiao Yan, who was hiding beyond the destroyed building, shouted.

“Arrest that strange monster immediately, Royal Guards!!”

Pubberbuck

After the guards kicked me, someone tied my arms behind my back with rope. They must have been sure that they were tied very tightly, so they soon arrested me and started taking me away.

CLANG!

I sat there, dumbfounded, imprisoned in the iron bars. Cold iron chains were tied to my hands and feet, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to care about that.

” ……”

also.

People here can’t use martial arts…

Usually, the palace would deploy powerful groups of warriors like the Royal Guard or the Royal Guard to protect the high-ranking officials, and of course, most of them were masters of martial arts. However, just now, when the Royal Guards were hitting and kicking me to subdue me, I could not feel any internal energy, and the ropes that bound me were not like the A-Ryong-Sak (牙龍索) used to subdue martial arts masters.

In other words, it’s nonsense, but the guards don’t know martial arts. The iron chains that are binding my hands and feet right now are so weak that they would be shattered if I just shake my internal energy once. I was so shocked that I couldn’t help but laugh.

” ha…”

Why did you have to get caught?

I don’t know the reason myself, but since it has come to this, I wanted to confirm the truth of this world. I have confirmed with my own eyes the [truth] that the people of this world cannot use their internal energy.

‘I must find out what kind of world this is… and why the Four Great Gods exist in the human world of Dharma’s time.’

Even if we can’t return after recapturing the Four Great Guardian Spirits, we must at least find out some information.

I couldn’t continue to be frustrated, so I decided to do what I could do now.

He never gives up until the very end. It would be an insult to his comrades to carelessly give up the life they have given him.

After a while, I tried to call Jeon-wook by connecting the terminal to him.

” ……”

Not working.

It’s like the end of the world… This lack of response probably means that Jeon-wook doesn’t exist in this world at all.

‘Is this world really a completely different place from ours, as Suin said?’

Even if you look at it that way, there was something suspicious about it.

I thought about it persistently, thinking that being locked up in this prison gave me time to think for myself. And after a while, I was able to figure out what I had to do.

“Oh, the original heavenly plate.”

Chorrrrrr

I activated the Primordial Heavenly Scroll with shining eyes and began to control the hexagram. Then I quietly gave orders to the Primordial Heavenly Scroll.

“Find the new god.”

A being that had already crossed over into outer space a thousand years ago.

Only the New Heaven and Earth can provide a clue to the current situation.
