Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 927

927====================

True empty hometown

Ssssssss

I tried to recall the ‘method’ I had heard from the barbarian hero from the back of my memory. It was such a faint memory that I couldn’t quite remember it, but thanks to my memory, I was able to figure out the method before long.

‘He was a hero of the Mabuiag tribe…’

And the barbarian hero, in return for killing the toad, taught me how to meet the Rainbow Serpent’s greatest servant, the Spirit of Death. And meeting the Spirit of Death meant meeting the Rainbow Serpent.

Kiririring

“Am Ruchuta Hultah… La Munda Otsirah…”

I began to recite the incomprehensible Paman (言靈) of the Southern Barbarians that I had learned from the Barbarian hero. The Paman was not a long syllable, and it was to be repeated six times, and a dance was to be performed in place to pay homage to the gods.

Clumsy, clumsy

” $&^@&[email protected]&…”

I, who only recited the song with my mouth, thought something funny while dancing. What on earth am I doing here in outer space?

But while the ritual was being performed, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Shushushuk

From the crater of the pitch-black dormant volcano, a thick, grayish fog slowly began to flow out, and the fog began to gather in the air and transform into a doll. A grayish human-shaped ‘something’ slowly settled down near me.

“……!!”

Could that be the spirit of death?!

As soon as I saw Hwaan Geumjeong, I could feel that she was a spirit and a deity.

Jeokbuk

Jeokbuk

I braced myself as I watched the ash-colored man walk towards me. Then he stopped about six paces away from me, his voice echoing in my head.

[Brave man. Will you meet God?]

” ……”

I hesitated and then asked the ashen man.

“Are you perhaps the spirit of death?”

[ Yes. ]

“So, if you meet God… what happens?”

[You have accomplished great deeds, so you will gain the right to reincarnate.]

“Hmm!”

also!

What the barbarian hero said was true!

As I listened to those words, I recalled a past memory of talking with the barbarian hero.

Even though it wasn’t clear, I remembered all the main points.

[Rainbow snake… What do you do when you meet it?]

[You will be given the privilege of reincarnation. You will have the opportunity to pass on the wisdom and experience you had in your past life to your next life and become a more superior being.]

[The reincarnated being will have their mark removed as proof of reincarnation. The Rainbow Serpent erases the mark from the soul of the reincarnated warrior, allowing them to inherit their memories and experiences.]

[Is there some kind of condition necessary for reincarnation?]

[I don’t know about that. I just heard from the priest of the Secret God who told me this secret while I was alive that the spirit of death chooses who to reincarnate.]

Yes, that’s right.

Reincarnation!

Surprisingly, the Rainbow Serpent had the privilege of reincarnating. When reincarnated, it was possible to inherit all the knowledge and experiences of the previous life and live a more excellent life.

However, in my case, since I had already reincarnated, I didn’t really need reincarnation, so I hardly ever tried it. Even if I tried to reincarnate, I would not even live 10 years in such a rough and rugged adventure that longevity or immortality would have no meaning, so reincarnation was not something I would need.

Fortunately, I seemed to be a suitable candidate for reincarnation in the eyes of the spirit of death. I could tell just by the fact that I had obtained the right to an audience with the god. I spoke cautiously to the spirit of death.

“Spirit of Death. Does reincarnation mean that I will die right now?”

Since I had to die first to be able to reincarnate, I asked the question that concerned me the most. Then the spirit of death answered.

[ No, it is not. However, when your death comes, God will take priority over your soul and give you the power of reincarnation.]

“I see. So does reincarnation mean becoming an incarnation of God or an apostle?”

[ … You seem to be quite a person, seeing as you possess divine power. You seem to know quite a bit about the secrets of divinity.]

The spirit of death observed me and continued speaking.

[Not at all. Reincarnation is a completely different system. God does not bind you, he just gives you a chance.]

” yes…”

I made up my mind and said to the spirit of death.

“I would like to meet God. Please give me a chance to ask him questions.”

[Good. I send you to God according to the oath.]

Wooooow!!

After a while, I realized that the scene before my eyes was distorted and I had entered a completely unknown dimension. It was a place full of life, with mountains, rivers, plants, and trees all over the place, and all kinds of snakes, spiders, animals, etc. This dense forest seemed endless and vast, and for a moment, I felt overwhelmed by the sight of this place.

And after a while a voice echoed in my head.

[You are the one who possesses the law of causality. How did you come to have a causal relationship with the Creator?]

Causality of order?

I was taken aback by those words for a moment, then realized the situation and said:

“I have obtained the law of cause and effect of Jeonghyang by offering the Seven Yo to Bango, Rainbow Serpent.”

The one who spoke to me just now must be a divine being called [Rainbow Serpent].

And what I said at a glance was that there was a causality of order, which was probably the causality of the orientation I was holding, the result of making offerings to Bango. The rainbow serpent was silent as if he was thinking about something in response to my answer, and then he said.

[What is Chilyo?]

“……?”

Huh?

Why do you ask that?

‘The rainbow serpent must also be one of the [old rulers]…’

How could you not know about the existence of the Seven Heavenly Treasures, the most important secret treasure in this world? I tilted my head in confusion, but soon answered.

“It refers to the seven treasures that the great Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors created as proof of the truce they made with the [former rulers]. They are related to the revelation of the end times.”

Do you understand by now?

I thought I had explained it well, but the rainbow serpent replied.

[ I don’t know. What are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? ]

“……?”

[I don’t know who made the truce with whom. I am one of the oldest beings on this planet and am in touch with the laws of the universe, but the deities and events you mentioned did not exist at all.]

“Uh…what…”

I was confused by the rainbow serpent’s words.

What are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

Even if it was in the remotest part of the southern continent, the power of the gods had nothing to do with physical distance. Knowing that the fame of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had spread far beyond the galaxy, it was unthinkable that the rainbow serpents living on Earth would not know about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

And then, the next moment, I remembered an assumption and felt a chill.

‘W… No way?’

The Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Seven Evil Spirits do not exist in this world!

If we assume that, then the story of the rainbow snake now makes sense. Since there were no Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the first place, there was no war between the gods, and there was no need for the Seven Heavenly Kings to be created. I felt dazed when I realized that this world was more distorted than I had thought.

‘ This explains why Jeon-wook didn’t answer the call… ‘

But if that’s the case, it’s strange.

The being before my eyes is definitely the [Former Ruler]. And since Dharma has also made all sorts of magical contracts with the rulers, the existence of the rulers is accepted in this world. But why are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors an exception to that? They are also essentially [Former Rulers], so why is there a reason why the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are not in this world?

I felt confused inside, but soon realized that if I dragged on with this conversation, the other person wouldn’t be able to answer. So I decided to ask a different question.

” … I think I made a mistake. If so, has a human called Shintojijon ever visited this place?”

It’s good to discover the secrets of the world, but it’s better to take care of urgent matters first.

When I asked the question, the rainbow serpent answered.

[ Yes. Clearly someone who called himself that has come here. I don’t know if he was human though. ]

“……!! Did that guy reincarnate?”

[ Yes. I did it because you wanted to be reincarnated. ]

“Ugh.”

I gritted my teeth.

‘Oh, my God! Are you saying that you came to this world and reincarnated?!’

What is the reason for reincarnation?

I wasn’t particularly curious about how the Shinto Master figured out how to reincarnate. After all, he was a legendary great thief who had single-handedly uncovered the secrets of darkness and reached the extremes of the universe, so there was no way he wouldn’t have obtained that much information. However, I couldn’t figure out why he reincarnated or what his intentions were.

‘What the Shinto Master wanted was to find the Heonwon Sword in this world… If that’s the case…’

I thought about it carefully and then said to the rainbow snake.

“Rainbow Serpent! Didn’t that man ask about the whereabouts of the Hyeonwon Sword?”

[ Hoo… As expected… What’s your name? ]

“This is Baek Woong.”

Swish

After a while, a silk snake crawled out from the large tree in front of my eyes and transformed into a young girl with pure white hair and eyes. The rainbow snake that had sent forth its incarnation spoke in a voice.

“Baek Woong, you and the man named Shintujijon both seem to have come from [outside].”

” ……”

“How strange. Even the gods consider crossing that boundary a great adventure, yet mere humans, two at a time, can cross the boundary of the universe? [The Watcher] would allow such a thing.”

The rainbow serpent seemed to be aware of the existence of [the outer space].

It also seemed to have already noticed that I and Shintujijon were making strange noises because they came from [outside]. When I remained silent, the rainbow serpent spoke.

“You are right. Shintujijon asked about the whereabouts of the Hyeonwon Sword, but I have never seen or heard of such a being. Also, if I don’t know, then no one else does, so it would be safe to say that it doesn’t exist in this world. Then Shintujijon asked to be reincarnated, and I granted his wish.”

“I have a question.”

“Ask.”

“If I reincarnate, if I want to reincarnate again, do I have to come here and make a wish again?”

“Yes, but each time you do that, you must perform deeds commensurate with your reincarnation and offer them to me.”

“I have to offer it…?”

I thought the rainbow serpent’s words were strange, but soon I understood what he meant.

‘Are you appreciating the achievements?’

People usually thought that it was just a human sacrifice, but the rainbow snake in front of them seemed to uniquely accept [the achievement] itself as a causal law. In other words, the act of requesting reincarnation could be seen as offering causality to him in the form of an achievement.

I said after I figured out the situation.

“Rainbow Serpent! I don’t really need reincarnation. Instead, I would like to dedicate my achievements to finding out where the One called Shintujijon is.”

“Is that wish enough?”

“Um… I have one more question.”

“What a man with many limbs.”

“Do you happen to know the Dharma of the Mother of No Life?”

In fact, this kind of question would not have been asked in the original world. Because it was something that was so obvious to know. Even the giant king Suin, who was imprisoned and sealed in the mythical era, knew about it, and the thing that was related to the existence of the universe was the Dharma.

But the answer that followed was as expected, and at the same time, it made it immediately clear how different this world was from the original one.

“I don’t know. What is a Mu-saeng-no-mo?”

” ……”

Even the existence of the Mu-saeng-no-mo-na and the Dharma-mon are still unknown to the gods of this world. It is a term referring to the great [Father] of Mu-saeng-no-mo-na, but since it is a term used by the religion called the White Lotus Sect, which was created by humans, they would not know about it.

That means, the chaos that Dharma caused has not yet occurred in this world. The legendary event of creating a Buddhist scripture and spreading it throughout the world! I can say that I have probably come to a past era before Dharma carried out his mission.

‘Hmm… I think this is going to be a headache.’

There must be some great reason why I came to this point in time. Because the greatest law in the universe is causality, where there is a cause, there is an effect. There can be no effect without a cause.

I decided to ask another question while I was at it.

“Rainbow Serpent! How many reincarnations has the Supreme Being had? And how strong is he?”

Then the rainbow serpent responded in disbelief.

“You suddenly ask such a trivial question. Do you want me to compare the strength of mere ants to that of a god?”

“Because I absolutely have to subdue him and get information.”

The rainbow serpent blinked and said.

“Hmm… That guy has been reincarnated a total of 19 times so far and has lived for 2154 years. Compared to your strength, both are about the same, but he is much stronger.”

” ……”

What…what did you say?

Number 19? 2154?

I was so confused by the rainbow serpent’s words that I shouted back.

“Two thousand years?! Are you saying that the God of War has been reincarnated for that long?”

“Yes. Is there anything strange?”

“Oh, no, that’s…”

You’ve been reincarnated too many times!

Besides, wasn’t Shinto Jijon a human from before this time?! If it was two thousand years ago, it would be no different from the mythical era before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and yet he has been reincarnating continuously since then?!

Why on earth?!

[ Get out now. ]

Woof…

As I was absentmindedly staring, the new form of the rainbow serpent began to gradually blur. Then, the dimension in front of my eyes became blurry, and the rainbow serpent spoke.

[When you open your eyes, you will appear in the place where the Supreme Being currently resides.]

Pfft!!

Soon, I came to my senses with a flash of pure white light. Then I quickly looked around.

“Here…”

I could tell that the architecture and terrain around me seemed somehow familiar.

At the same time, looking down the hill, I could tell what kind of place this was.

Four colonies were separated by a boundary, and in the distance, a castle-like wall could be seen. It was much smaller and shabbier than what I had seen before, but I had definitely seen this sight before. And I muttered absentmindedly.

“White Lotus Sect Headquarters.”

That’s right. It’s the place in Gansu where the White Lotus followers live together in a tight-knit group.

I… came here…

‘ no way…’

I had a bad feeling about this. And then I heard a groan from inside the door.

[You came to me on your own two feet, singularity.]

Dharma was walking out of the main temple with five humans.
