Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 938

938====================

True empty hometown

Then Dharma showed interest.

[ What kind of method is it…]

” ……”

I took a deep breath and said.

“You may think this is crazy, but I hope you’ll listen to me till the end.”

[Tell me.]

“If you offer a price equivalent to the lives of 100 million people, then there is no need to sacrifice 100 million people, right?”

[ Yes…]

“I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and there are things like that in this world too.”

[ What is it? The jewels and the seven yoi that you mentioned do not exist in this world, and even if they did exist, they are not worth the lives of 100 million people…]

“It’s even greater than the Seven Days.”

I continued speaking slowly.

” [Old ruler].”

Dharma looked at me blankly. I met his gaze straight on and spoke.

“Let us capture [the old ruler] and offer his soul as a sacrifice to the vacuum incense ritual!”

[ ……]

Dharma made a dumbfounded expression.

[ Hmm… that’s… ]

Dharma seemed to be chewing over my story and then said:

[ Are you saying that I should directly subdue and capture the [Old Ruler] with my own strength…?]

“Yes! If we were to offer [the old ruler] to [Father], wouldn’t it be worth far more than 100 million? They are cosmic beings, so they are the greatest treasures with a value far beyond that!”

I shouted firmly. Then Dharma said with a look of disappointment.

[ Surprisingly… I never thought you would talk about such an ignorant method seriously…]

” ……”

[I, too, have been thinking about that ever since I was branded with the 666 mark and gained great power… But why do you think I was unable to use the method to subdue the [Old Ruler]?]

“I don’t know. That’s why I kept worrying about it for a month.”

Dharma looked up at the sky and said.

[ It would be possible for me to subdue the weak [Old Ruler] with my own power… However, even if I were to defeat them, there would be no meaning in that. In order to use them as [sacrifices], I would need to obtain the opponent’s corpse or soul, but a being that has already achieved universal divinity is immortal. It is impossible to capture or offer up their soul.]

” hmm…”

I could understand what Dharma was saying.

This was because there was knowledge that he had heard from Zhuge Liang in the past.

[ [Old Rulers] are largely divided into two types. Those born in the material world and those born in distant gods… The Sea God is the former, so he is of very low rank even among the [Old Rulers]. This is because being born in the material world means having the soul of a god but a mortal body.]

[ Well, since he has the soul of a god, even if he dies this time, he will be resurrected thousands of years later. However, because he is such an imperfect [Old Ruler], he cannot avoid material death. This is a weakness shared not only by the Sea God, but by many [Old Rulers] born in the material world.]

According to Zhuge Shi, [the old ruler] is a god, so he will not die even if you try to kill him. Since his soul is immortal, it is impossible to kill him in the first place. However, material death may have been possible, but even that would require a soul to offer as a [sacrifice], so destroying only the body would have been meaningless. Although he could obtain the body of a god, it would only be a magical material full of evil spirits, and would not have the value to replace 100 million souls.

[ I’ve thought about this hundreds of times too… but it’s impossible, so forget it… You have no choice but to make sacrifices and move on to the next step. ]

” … it would have been impossible if you were alone.”

[ What does it mean? ]

I answered with sharp eyes.

“If we can capture or steal the [soul] of a god, isn’t that quite possible?”

[ ……!!]

For the first time, Dharma looked embarrassed. Just a moment ago, he had felt like he was being treated like a child, but now his reaction was clearly different. He thought for a moment and then said.

[ Are you saying that you and Shintojijon will use their abilities to steal the soul of a god? ]

” okay.”

I nodded.

“If it’s a case of all things, it might be possible.”

Mansangjitou is the ability to steal what cannot be stolen.

With this ability, you can steal qi and even metaphysical beings that are in conceptual bondage. In fact, the Supreme Being taught me the Mansangjitou for that purpose.

So then… what about the soul of God?

Doesn’t that also fall into the category of [things that cannot be stolen]?

I pondered for a month whether it was possible. And I thought about how Qi and soul were different, and as a test, I practiced stealing the souls of plants and animals wandering around with Mansangjitu. I couldn’t steal the souls right away, but after some practice and trial and error, I barely succeeded.

I can’t use it properly because my Mansangjitou achievement is still low, but if I am the best thief who has reached the extreme of Mansangjitou, then maybe it is possible.

Dharma spoke in a voice that still could not hide his embarrassment.

[I don’t know what martial arts and willpower are, but… is something like that even possible? No one has ever thought of stealing the soul of a god.]

“Actually, I’m not sure. I don’t know if it will work or not. But…”

I looked straight at Dharma and said.

“Isn’t it worth a try? Wouldn’t it be better to gamble on the possibility of success rather than risk sacrificing 100 million souls by slaughtering innocent people like this?”

[ ……]

“Please. Think about it seriously.”

Dharma thought deeply and then said.

[ In theory… if you really want to steal the soul of a god… you have to wait for the moment when the god meets a physical [death]. That moment when I defeat the [Old Ruler] and the soul of that being returns to the distant universe, or to your own dimension, will be the first and last opportunity. ]

“That’s what will happen.”

[If I fail at that moment, my plan will be severely disrupted. Even if only my soul remains, if I incur the resentment of the [Old Ruler], he will use his vast magical power to disrupt my plan. This is much more dangerous than quietly proceeding with the plan.]

” ……”

It would be so. Even if God does not manifest in the phenomenal world, God is God. Just by cursing with anger and resentment from a distant dimension, a great disaster can occur. [The Old Ruler], a cosmic being, was such a being.

[ And yet, are you suggesting to me that we take a risk to prevent the sacrifice of 100 million people… ]

“Okay. Let’s try a better way.”

[ Hmm… ]

Dharma let out a sigh. He spoke after a while.

[ I need to call in the new god for a moment. ]

Pfft!!

After a while, Dharma drew a magic circle in the air, and through that magic circle, Shintojijon walked out with my body. Shintojijon looked at me and Dharma alternately and then smirked.

“I guess you called me because you were planning something bad.”

[ Shintujijon. I have something to ask. ]

“What do you want to ask?”

[Can you steal the soul of [the old ruler] using the method of Mansangjitu?]

” ……”

Then, Shintojijon’s expression changed to that of having heard something crazy. It felt a bit ugly that he was making such an expression on my face. Shintojijon then frowned and said.

“I see what’s going on. That guy must have offered the soul of [the old ruler] in exchange for 100 million people.”

[I want to hear whether it is possible or not.]

“You must have thought of something so crazy… sigh.”

Shintojijon let out a hollow laugh and then fell into thought. Then, after a long while, he opened his mouth.

“It’s possible. I can do it. But that guy can’t.”

“……!!”

” However, there must be a premise that [the restriction] is lifted.”

Constraints?

I felt puzzled by Shintujijon’s words. And after a while, I was able to understand what he meant.

“I… I see. Are you planning on using the Divine Realm Technique?”

“Ugh…”

The God of War looked at me with great discomfort. He was clearly annoyed.

“I guess you’ve said all sorts of things on the spot. Even if you’re my clone, I can’t understand how I could like someone like you.”

Yes, that’s right.

A divine skill!

[You can use it if you’re on the left. They must have their own new era.]

[ Can’t use. ]

[I can’t use it because of the limitations of causality and the godlessness. Even if my true body, the Divine Master, returns to the human world, I will be able to use absolute techniques, but I will not be able to cast the Divine Transformation Skill Ilsu Talsim that I just used on you.]

The clone of the God of War on the left had once given me information about the New Era of the God of War. And the clone of the God of War on the left had once defeated me in one blow with the New Era of the God of War, and had revealed that its incredible power could not be used in the human world. And the reason for this was the law of causality and the limitations of the god of war.

‘It’s probably the [restriction] that Shintujijon just mentioned.’

It was a contradiction.

Even if they know how to use the Divine Power, why can’t those with that ability use it in the human world? I couldn’t understand why such a powerful force couldn’t be used. I spoke to the Divine Power in a slightly excited voice.

“If I use Ilsutalsim, can I steal even the soul of a god? Really?”

Shintojijon made a strange expression.

” … I guess you’ve experienced it yourself since you said that name?”

” ……”

When I flinched at the memory of having my heart stolen, Shintojijon snickered.

“It’s possible. If it’s the soul of a god or something, it’s a sacred season, so it’s easy to steal.”

“Okay. So how can we solve that [restriction]?”

“I can’t say~”

” … huh?”

The new king said bluntly.

“I can’t say.”

” why!”

“If it could be solved so easily, would it be called a [restriction]? And those who have reached the new realm are not allowed to reveal their secrets to anyone other than the one who opened the [door].”

“What happens if I tell you?”

“You will lose the [seat] you have won and your new era.”

He continued speaking in an annoyed tone.

“That’s why I can never reveal it~ It’s hard to even reach the absolute state in this world, so do you think reaching [the left] is a normal thing? Just being in the top 100 in the entire universe is a miracle. That’s why I can never reveal it.”

Is there also a restriction that the moment you speak out, you lose your [left]?

But as I listened to the explanation of the new god, a strange thought occurred to me.

“What on earth does that mean?”

” ok?”

“If I could use the Divine Realm Technique in the human world, I would be able to unleash invincible power. I would even be able to defeat the Demon King. But if I couldn’t use that power at all and could only use the Divine Realm Technique in that closed space after returning to the Divine Realm… Isn’t that a shining apricot?”

Isn’t power only meaningful if you can use it at the right time?

What good is it to realize the new era if you can’t use it when you really need it?

When I asked back, Shintujijon smiled faintly.

“What… what good would it do for a slacker like you to find out what it means? It seems foolish to think of the new season as a simple [force].”

” what!”

“If I may give you some advice as a senior, if you think of the new era as simply becoming stronger, you’ll never achieve it. It’s not something you can reach with talent and effort alone.”

” ……”

The god who had been teasing me turned his face towards Dharma and said.

“Dalma. If you’ve heard this far, you’ll know that what he’s talking about is theoretically possible, but I have no intention of helping you get there. I can’t help you. Maybe it’s better to just give up?”

[ … Is it impossible with Baek Woong’s current [Stealing] ability?]

“Hmm… To be honest, there’s a slight chance. That guy’s current stealing skills are almost on par with mine. But are you really willing to stake all your future plans on that guy’s stealing ability? I can’t believe that you trust Baekwoong that much, Dharma?”

[ I see…]

Since the words of the Great God were extremely objective, even Dharma seemed to have calmed down.

Oh, so it’s not working after all?

I thought I had finally come up with a good idea, but I felt gloomy thinking that I would return to nothing again. And I began to wonder whether I should just watch 100 million people sacrifice themselves, or whether I should break away from Dharma’s hands and find another way.

That was the time.

[I will do as Baek Woong says.]

Fireworks

My gaze and Shintojijon’s simultaneously turned to Dharma. He stood up from his seat with a glare in his eyes and clenched his fists.

[I will capture the Sea God in one month from now. Don’t miss the moment when the Sea God meets his death, and you two must steal the god’s soul.]

“……!!”

” good!”

I was delighted to see Dharma follow my will. I shouted in delight, but the great God of the Heavenly Temple standing next to me was truly embarrassed and even stammered.

“Are you serious? Dharma, I thought you were in your right mind…”

[I might be crazy.]

“Even if we make a hundred concessions and somehow manage to steal the soul of a god, where are we going to confine that soul? No matter how outstanding your magical power is, it is impossible to continue to bind the soul of a god with magical power alone.”

[I have a separate method for that. If it were only possible to steal the soul of a god, it wouldn’t even be a problem to worry about.]

” … You’re crazy… Are you really going to do this?”

[ Yes. ]

Dharma replied, crossing his arms.

[If there is a way to reduce the sacrifice of sentient beings, I will also take that path.]

Shintojijon seemed a little anxious. Then he said.

“I guess… you seem to be quite a different person from the legends I’ve heard, Dharma.”

[I see.]

He groaned and nodded as if he had no choice.

” Haha… Okay. I’ll go with that.”

[ Of course, separate from this plan, the mission I gave you is to continue executing for a month…]

” I get it.”

At this moment, I could tell that Dharma’s will had changed greatly.

‘I did it!’

We have avoided a future where 100 million people are sacrificed!

I spent another month building up my own martial arts skills while teaching my four disciples. I continued to build up my internal energy through the use of the principles of the mind, and now I felt like I had reached a point where I didn’t really regret my internal energy.

And the day of the final battle with the Sea God dawned.
