Huaruruk-
It blazes.
She wears a dragon robe of wisdom made of golden flas, and atop her hair there is not a hair ornant but a golden imperial crown like that of the Future King.
At the sa ti, behind her head, the Wheel that has begun to burn with golden light spins without end.
I can tell.
Now, the one behind is no longer rely the Underworld.
The mother of all life in this Suru Three Heavens Great Thousand World.
At the sa ti, she is the recorder of history and the librarian of Omniscience who can know any truth she wishes.
Kuuuuung!
A part of her jade throne, ford from Bong Hwa's Vestige suddenly seems to vanish, and in that place, a portion of what appears to be the head of the Emptiness Supre Deity Myeon Woon sprouts up.
We can all tell what has happened.
Woo-woooong!
A part of the Vestige she cast off as she advanced to Life Supre Deity.
Half of it's head portion.
That was forming half of the Emptiness Supre Deity Myeong Woon.
'I see. This is the Future King.'
In the future where she soday advances to Life Supre Deity, he transposed her Vestige with half of his own Vestige, so that the very possibility that so existence other than her might advance to Life Supre Deity and seize the Absolute was sealed off at the source.
That is the truth of the Emptiness Supre Deity Myeong Woon, who has eyes of Sun and Moon.
As he fixed the future where Bong Hwa becos Life Supre Deity, at the sa ti he wanted, even if only in the form of a Vestige, to be together with her and, in the form called the Head Realm, endlessly repeat the mories of the ti when he was a mortal...
The result of Hong Fan Gu Ju's twisted desire and at the sa ti a symbol of hope; that is precisely the end product that is the existence called the Emptiness Supre Deity Myeong Woon.
Huarururuk-
The divinity of Life and History, Information and Explosions.
The First King Bong Hwa gazes for a mont at the outco of the Future King's divine power and then withdraws her gaze.
She only keeps on reaching out her hand toward Vast Cold, who collapses while endlessly exploding.
"Rise. Even after taking my Peach Garden, are you going to lie there so powerless?"
Woo-woong!
The scent of peach blossoms seems to spread, and Vast Cold, who has been torn apart, cos back to life.
At the sa ti, Vast Cold takes sothing out from their embrace.
It is a fragnt of so world.
It is the Peach Garden filled with peach petals, where Vast Cold's lingering thought was once t.
Vast Cold quietly kneels in front of Bong Hwa, bows their head, and offers that fragnt of a world to her.
When the fragnt of the world enters her hand, it changes into a shape like a peach tree branch.
On the branch, peach blossoms bloom in an instant, and a well-ripened peach bears.
Bong Hwa picks that peach and seems to briefly sll its fragrance, then throws it as it is toward Hong Fan.
Hong Fan naturally catches the peach and slls its fragrance.
"All this ti. For taking care of . For allowing to co all the way to this place, I am grateful. This is my repaynt for all the grace of fate you have bestowed upon until now."
"...If I eat this, does it an I can no longer receive any debt from you concerning Immortal Cultivation and fate?"
"We simply beco equal to each other."
With the insight of a Supre Deity, I can tell.
'A mass of life force...and a mass of information breathed with all the mories of when Bong Hwa and Hong Fan were the happiest in their past lives."
It is not a re clump of information.
Quite literally, she has torn out and handed over a part of the past and history from the Akashic Records in which Hong Fan and Bong Hwa were happy.
That information is, in effect, a kind of miniature Akashic Records that belongs solely to Hong Fan.
Crunch-
Hong Fan holds it in his mouth and takes a bite.
"It is sweet."
Tsuaaaaat-
Through the act of eating, the Fate Supre Deity makes the mories inside the small Akashic Records that Bong Hwa has given his own, and for a brief mont sinks into reminiscence.
Hwiooooo-
The history in the shape of a peach is instantly absorbed into Hong Fan.
"Although there was an unhappy past, surely there were also tis that were sweet and happy, were there not? O Future King. Please rember so and escape from the past. What you should look upon is the future, not being seized by the past that has gone by. Please...now let go of the tail you have been biting.
"Do not let the entire era of Mount Suru be bound to a single age and culture by being trapped in the past. Please, move forward so that more eras and cultures, new stories, may co to take their place.
"The person who once was in your embrace makes this plea."
"...Why are you not Yang Hwe but Bong Hwa?"
Hong Fan, at Bong Hwa's plea, asks her a question.
"Why do you not use the na Yang Hwe, which I personally went all the way to the divinity wearing the shell of a nar to receive for you...
"Why...do you use...such a na that announces crisis? Why...do you use that terrible na I thought of while watching from afar as you burned?"
"First...in order to separate from your fate and push as a candidate for Life Supre Deity, you surely rember that you bestowed upon the [fate that overcos fate], do you not?"
Flinch-
At Bong Hwa's fate, which only now do I co to know of, I flinch.
That...was the fate bestowed upon my child.
"Are you saying it is simply because it is a na I rember badly, that it is a na you created through a rebellious heart against the fate I breathed?"
"That too cannot be said to have no influence. However! You too must rember. Just as you have watched over in every past life. I too, in every past life, have wanted to return to you."
She looks at Hong Fan with a warm smile and continues speaking.
"To overco fate is the fate you bestowed upon this one. At first, as I followed that fate, I was confused, but after going through countless incidents, treading through trials and adversity, and eting many connections, I learned
many things.
"And I ca to know. You try to push away from you, but I want to talk with you. And all this ti. I have wanted to tell you that I am grateful to you.
"Overcoming fate and such are not my concern. For I have co to know that, regardless of the correct way to overco fate, in the end it is we ourselves who judge, so it does not matter how we interpret it."
Hearing those words, my lips part.
'Ah...'
What she says is addressed to Hong Fan, but in truth, one of the knots in my own heart...
...is untied.
'I see...'
If soday...
If I et my daughter again, I now have the confidence that this ti, I can treat that child a little more properly.
Of course...
She is a child I sent away with my own hands.
I cannot raise her and piece her back together as if I am breeding and assembling sothing, and then bring her back to life to go together with .
So soday...I only harbor the hope that she might live again under Bong Hwa, and there is a day when we et
by chance.
"The na Bong Hwa (beacon fire) is a na with which the history of the existence that is wishes to express gratitude to you. Because..."
She smiles warmly toward the Future King and speaks.
"From the mont I ca to know that, in order to cure my illness, you went to countless mountain peaks to light beacon fires, and in the end, even attached beacon fires to the tips of your five fingers... I no longer needed any
other splendid and grand na."
The third story.
It is the story of certain man who wanders all around in order to cure his wife who has leprosy,
And, after hearing that if he lights beacon fires simultaneously on a mountain peak where five peaks hang down,
the leprosy will be healed, he searches for countless mountain peaks.
The distorted fairy tale.
In the fairy tale that Hong Fan hoped for, the man realizes that the tips of his five fingers are the five peaks, and when he puts fire to the tips of his fingers, his wife recovers from her illness.
Perhaps, as I suppose.
It is likely a story that contained Hong Fan's hope of making sothing called happiness touch his own fingertips.
"As the house and you burned, you told through the heat of beacon fire that danger was coming upon you. But because I could not see with my eyes, I could not run faster...could not run straight to you. Because of that, you burned to death. The na Bong Hwa...for , is the sha of failing to protect you."
"So it was because you felt the beacon fire and ran to save , it was the na with which you thought of . It hurt a little when I burned in the fire...but when you ca and held , at that ti it was truly good."
"... Rather than lighting beacon fires on a mountain for you...I wanted to build a house where I can live together with
you."
"I rember that as well. You said so when you ca back after going around lighting beacon fires. That as you wandered, there seed to be many beautiful mountains...and that when I got better, you wanted us to travel together, and that you wanted to live in a house built on a mountain listening as I explained the mountain scenery to
you, who could not see."
She waves her arm.
As she sweeps that arm which blazes with flas once, all the darkness in the Audience Chamber recedes and the
chaos is driven out.
"Seeing that you wanted to live in the mountains, I remarked that surely you must be an Immortal."
"Looking back, what I needed was not a mountain but a place where only you and I could stay. Because all the
world that scorned and betrayed you and seed nothing but foul."
"Thus, you deliberately shaped the world in the form of a mountain...I can only be grateful."
As the chaos is once again driven out by her, inside the gestation world.
The flows of countless attraction force embrace several Heavenly Domains and take on the shape of a cone.
In other words, what cos into all of our eyes is a scene ford in the shape of a mountain.
Why, of all forms, does it have to be a mountain?
A mountain is high and steep, so if one lives at its summit, those who are not wanted do not co to visit...
It is simply a form that carries the wish to stay there quietly.
"Because soday...we promised back then to live together on a mountain..."
Hong Fan, looking down at Mount Suru, murmurs.
Bong Hwa looks at him and reaches out her hand to him.
"Then, will you now keep that promise?"
...
We all look at that scene.
Even those who do not know Hong Fan's past watch between the two while holding their breath.
For everyone who has co to this place knows it instinctively.
Right now, in this place, between those two.
It all hangs whether all bonds of grace and resentnt, all bridles of grudge, will be smoothly washed away or not.
And then, a certain scene flashes through my mory.
Perhaps that scene...
Might have been the mont that lets glimpse what decision Hong Fan will make if such a situation ever
cos.
-Stop...please, just stop... Let's tell Bong Hwa everything and beg for forgiveness... How long must we keep doing
this? Just how long!!?? In this endless hell without end, how long must I keep doing this!!??!!?? Am bowing down like this and begging!? Please, let's stop!"
...Again and again and again...I've gone over that anguish. You know that. But in the end, the conclusion is
always the sa."
-The story must be completed.
"...The story must be completed."
He does not beg Bong Hwa for forgiveness.
He does not even apologize.
Surung-
He simply raises the blade piled up by murder.
The sticky attraction force once again calls back the darkness that Bong Hwa has swept away.
"If you truly intend to stop , you should not have handed over to full ownership of my own history. You
should have taken that ownership yourself and rewritten the past.
"Now that you beco the Owner of History, you have both the authority and the qualification to do so. You should
have completely revised my unhappy past and entirely readjusted all the history and experiences of the past that ford my personality."
"How is that any different from raising you and assembling you according to my will as a toy?"
"See that. Hwe-ah. As soon as you beca Life Supre Deity, you imdiately grasped the essence, didn't
you?"
Wooo-wooooong-
Emotion begins to disappear from Hong Fan's eyes.
Starting with and Kim Young-hoon, those who have practices Martial Arts.
And all those who have cultivated Immortal Arts or mantras sensitive to emotion notice his change.
"To stop , you must beco . Therefore..."
The agitation and fatigue that have arisen in his heart until now are healed through his conversation with Bong
Hwa, and the hesitation that had arisen in that heart is completely taken away.
"As expected, this world is wrong, isn't it?"
Directly after, he raises one hand.
Immortal Art.
Immortal Cultivation.
Kiiiiiing!
A symbol that schematizes the Immortal Cultivation system itself rises above his hand and begins to unleash its
most vicious authority.
Debt Enforcent.
Everyone who has received the grace of the Immortal Cultivation system until now lets out a scream and begins to
have their entire personality and life taken away in one sweep by the Future King.
The only ones who remain unscathed under the Future King's attack are the Heavenly Kings who received even
more help from the Absolute Fragnts and who still possess the Absolute Fragnts even now.
Besides them, there is only Bong Hwa, who just now transferred to the Fate Supre Deity the authority to
intervene as a Life Supre Deity and has all debts canceled.
"Living beings who have climbed to this place under my grace, hear . Once again, return your lives under my
decree and return to the roles you originally ought to have."
Wuuuuuuu—
All Enders who have been liberated by Silver Basket and Bong Myeong fail to repay the debts for the grace they
have received from the Immortal Cultivation system, and their entire lives are directly taken away into the hands of Hong Fan Gu Ju.
The spirits of countless Enders return to the Future King's grasp and are refined into the form of the birdcage in
which they first appeared.
Of course, there are also a few Enders who endure in his grasp.
Starting with Obsidian and Vast Cold, those who have at least once reached the realm called Heavenly King barely
endure in that place and avoid returning to the birdcage.
But in the next mont, they ultimately cannot endure and have their personalities taken away.
"All those whose lives were permitted by Splitting Heaven, bow your existence under this hand."
Enders are fragnts of the Absolute.
And in the end, what beca the basis for breaking the Absolute into pieces, scattering them to other worlds,
forming personalities, and bringing souls into birth...
...is the power of the Future King's Splitting Heaven Mantra.
We are all children of the Future King.
Tududududuk-
Everyone except the current generation of Enders and Bong Hwa has their reason completely sealed by the Future
King, and their eyes turn pitch-black.
"Is it because of Liberation? The compression does not work very well. I will need ti if I am to stabilise the form
again. It does not matter. You all return now as well."
Kugugugugu!
The Future King gestures toward us.
Our very existence begins to be sucked toward him with a powerful attraction force.
And the one being that has been thrown for a short while into chaos is also drawn toward his hand.
It is Silver Basket, who has temporarily exited.
Shiriririk-
He compresses Silver Basket's true body into a birdcage, and after trapping Silver Basket's spirit inside the cage in
the sa form that Bong Hwa has suffered...
He strengthens the attraction force toward us.
"Kkuugh... Uaaaaaaagh!!!"
The eyes of Kim Young-hoon, Jeon Myeong-hoon, Kang Min-hee, Oh Hyun-seok, Kim Yeon, and Oh Hye-seo all
begin to be dyed black.
They too begin to have their personalities taken away by the Future King, and they stand rooted to the spot,
screaming.
"Still, the Heavenly Kings of this generation, except for one, have all ripened. This is a first. Since it has co to
this anyway, I will challenge the conclusion with this batch.
"One is defective, but for one, I might be able to find a solution.
"Wait for , Hwe-ah. I will refine them and confine you for just a mont. If you resist, it is sad, but I will have no
choice but to break you into pieces and store you for a ti."
Kururururur-
A Gang Extre forms above Hong Fan's hand, and the history torn off from Hong Fan's body, together with one
of the spirits that Hong Fan has been storing, is infused into it.
"Eastern Twin Sal Tree."
Wuuuuuuuu-
As the sound of wailing echoes out, one direction of Mount Suru is reflected far below.
There, one Gandhara cos into being.
"Western Zero King."
Aaaaaaaa-
The scattered heads of successive Hyeon Rangs lying all over the Audience Chamber each take up a direction
opposite the Gandhara, and the spirits of the Supre Deities all gather at once to form sothing on the level of a
Gandhara.
"Southern Sal Twin Tree."
The Source River that Kim Yeon seized is, in an instant, released from her control and returns again to its original
form.
Unlike the other Gandhara, no wailing sound is heard.
It seems to be because the personality, Cheon Woon, is absent.
However, perhaps because he thinks the escaped Cheon Woon can be quickly captured and brought back, he
does not particularly pay it any mind and stretches his hand toward the last direction.
"Northern Gang."
Into the last Gang Extre clone, the energies that Hyeon Mu has stolen all this ti from the Absolute of Miracle
pours in full, making it reach the sa level as the other Gandhara.
All four directions of Mount Suru are completely filled.
Before long, the Gandhara each transform into a single gigantic peak around Mount Suru.
"Back then, I failed to light the Five Peaks Mountain and save you. But this ti, I will definitely reach you."
Huarurururuk!
From the summit of Mount Suru and from the tips of the other Gandhara peaks, enormous flas begin to burn.
As the flas catch on the five peaks, a hymn that will bless the advent of the Absolute One resounds.
"A beacon fire is sothing that is lit when you pray for happiness. It cannot itself beco happiness. But you will
beco the Absolute One and gain a new truth, so you will surely beco happiness itself."
At last, all the personalities of the Enders are devoured by the Future King.
The activation of debts through the Immortal Cultivation system and Splitting Heaven.
Because we are all beings that originate solely from him...
No one can resist his authority.
If he had only used it, he could have annihilated us from the very beginning, but with the authority he has not used
from the beginning rely for amusent, the Future King subdues the entire Audience Chamber in an instant.
"So...Hwe-ah. You are Yang Hwe."
What thoughts are Bong Hwa having?
Is it perhaps because her perspective is different now that she has beco the Life Supre Deity? Even in that
hopeless situation...
Even while being caught in this situation that, no matter where one looks, is nothing but the frenzy of a madman...
She simply smiles gently.
She is now omniscient.
It is as if she is calm because she already knows everything.
Then,
Hong Fan turns his gaze away from the calm Yang Hwe.
And at last...
Though he tried to keep ignoring to the very end, he looks at , who still has not been dragged off by Debt
Enforcent and shows no sign of being dragged off any further.
"...What in the world are you?"
"...Good question."
I, even now, still am not particularly being dragged away by Hong Fan's debt enforcent or anything of the sort.
"Your life clearly originates from ."
"That's true, Hong Fan."
"The Immortal Cultivation system you learned all originates from , and Primordial Origin and circuits and the like
as well, the fact that you have been able to co into contact with them is all because I have permitted it."
"It does seem that way."
"With your own mouth, did you not say that you have received grace from ."
"Right. In the 16th cycle I definitely did."
"Then why...do you not belong to ."
I feel his emotion.
His heart is calm.
However, there are tis when emotion cos out not through the heart but through actions.
He is clearly regarding as sothing incomprehensible that he cannot understand.
"I definitely received grace from you. That is sothing I can't deny. If you carry out the debt, it's not strange at all
even if I am sucked in just like that."
"In that case, what trick have you used?"
"I am not using any trick. Only..."
I stroke the spiraling cluster of light that continuously circles around .
The Wuji Religious Order, starting with Wol Ryeong.
And, not only the Wuji Religious Order, but also the connections of the countless living beings I have left behind in
Mount Suru.
"It is just that, aside from you, I have received so much from so many existences."
"...What?"
"I am definitely sincerely grateful to you. But...I am also grateful to the Ju family daughter who brought
potatoes."
"Are you saying that what the heavens give and what a mortal gives are the sa?"
"Including her, all conne ions I t
Cheok-
Behind , a white deer appears.
the Oth cycle also gave so many things."
The deer becos mist, and within the mist the people of the Oth cycle appear.
"The connections I t in the 1st cycle also gave many things."
Cheok-
The connection of the 1st cycle appear.
"Even the connections up to the 10th cycle as well."
A precious person supports my back from within the Canvas of Myriad Forms and Connections, and behind
even more people crowd in.
"Even the connections up to the 100th cycle."
Cheok-
"Even the connections up to the 1,000th cycle."
The existences that keep lining up behind my back only grow more nurous.
"All the connections up to now as well."
And...
I still do not particularly intend to stop.
Tsuaaaaat-
The forms of connections within the Canvas of Myriad Forms and Connections gradually swell.
Just like the First Light, by which Hyeon Mu forcibly dragged in the future Supre Deities, I likewise endlessly
draw the random connections I will et in the future into the Canvas of Myriad Forms and Connections.
They still have neither gender nor faces.
But surely...
They are connections that I will soday co to et.
"All the connections to co as well. From all the existences just as precious as you...I have received far too much.
So...I am not indebted only to you."
Because there are far too many existences to whom I must repay grace, I instead am not dragged along by the
debt of the one existence that is the Heavens.
There is no priority among the graces given by connections, and the Heavens is likewise rely one among my
connections.
"So. You do not need to repay the Heavens first either."
Shouting loudly, I speak to my close friends who are not only those to whom I am indebted, but who are also
indebted 'to ' as well.
"Co!"
Jjeoooooong!
At my voice, the Future King's birdcage and all the Enders whose eyes have turned black all flinch.
"Co!!"
Wooo-woong!
The Canvas of Myriad Forms and Connections behind my back exerts debt enforcent.
The Enders who do not have any connection with quickly have their resonance die down, but the Enders who
ford even a single connection with all start to twitch violently on the spot.
Right there I shout loudly and forcefully.
"Co!!!"
Kwaaaaaaang!
At the sa ti, among the Enders, the six who ford the strongest connection with and owe the most
open their eyes.
Kim Young-hoon's eyes return to normal.
Jeon Myeong-hoon cos to his senses.
Kang Min-hee looks at .
Oh Hyun-seok grins.
Kim Yeon smiles warmly.
Oh Hye-seo lowers her head bitterly, as if embarrassed.
The Future King watches that sight and looks at us with a strange gaze.
Why is it...
I don't know in detail, but I think that he is feeling dispirited.
And, after a brief silence, he raises his hand.
"If you wish, let us have a contest of strength."
Woo-woong!
At the sa ti, the attraction force coming from the Future King's fingertips grows even stronger and begins to
drag in my comrades.
Silver Basket looks out at the battlefield from inside the Future King's birdcage.
"...No matter how many tis I see it, I cannot understand it."
From the viewpoint of Silver Basket, a Creator God, the Future King Fate Supre Deity Hong Fan Gu Ju is quite
the madman.
Silver Basket cannot understand Hong Fan Gu Ju's ntal world.
In truth, Silver Basket also cannot really understand Bong Hwa, who has beco the First King Life Supre Deity.
If the Future King is soone they cannot understand because of how bizarre he is, then Bong Hwa is soone
who is hard to understand because she is too ordinary.
Even though she is an ordinary existence, they cannot understand how she made that kind of choice in that
position.
Being raised by the Future King is unusual, but in their view, the existence called Bong Hwa is not an existence who
could normally reach True Emperor.
On one side is soone so bizarre that even Silver Basket cannot understand him.
On the other side is soone who, even though she is so ordinary that Silver Basket has never experienced
anyone like her, still reached such a place and cannot be understood.
However, Silver Basket sees an existence they understand even less than those two before.
Kung!
It is Seo Eun-hyun, kneeling in front of the Future King.
Is he trying to surrender to the Future King?
Or is he perhaps trying to beg to have his close friends, the Enders, returned.
Surprisingly, it is neither.
"Thank you, Hong Fan."
In this situation where they cannot read even a chi ahead into the future, Silver Basket looks upon the strange
Supre Deity who causes all their foresight to go astray.
"I am...truly grateful to you."
They continue to look at the Star Genesis Supre Deity Seo Eun-hyun.
Seo Eun-hyun looks at Hong Fan Gu Ju and smiles.
"Just as I expressed to you at the very end of the 16th cycle...I really am grateful for each and every trivial thing I
received
from
you."
The Future King looks at such a Seo Eun-hyun.
With eyes that sohow seem a little fed up.
"But...up until now I have only expressed my thanks with words. Therefore, I have decided to kneel sincerely like
this in front of you...and convey my thanks."
He begins to use honorific speech.
At that sight, not only the Future King but Silver Basket as well cannot help but be shocked.
"Thank you. Heavens Above. For having given ...so many gifts until now. Everything you have given . Even
the mories in which I suffered...have been like miracles. Thank you...for gifting life."
Life is gratitude.
That is the only heart and thought that is felt from the existence called Seo Eun-hyun right now.
'What kind of existence...'
Silver Basket cannot understand Hong Fan Gu Ju or Bong Hwa, but...
They keenly realise that Seo Eun-hyun is truly the most incomprehensible madman with clear eyes.
'What kind of existence in this world can offer such gratitude even to the owner of hell...?'
This one is a madman.
Silver Basket feels that keenly and thinks.
'Is it rely a courtesy before he clashes with him in earnest? But to rush in to kill the opponent while giving
thanks, is that not a contradiction as well...?'
It is contradictory.
It is just as they think that,
"Therefore. I will not have a contest of strength with you."
The Future King and Silver Basket,
And even Bong Hwa gradually start to fall into panic.
"Please take it. My entire life."
It does not end with words.
Tsuaaaaat!
The body of the Owner of Myriad Stars scatters into countless starlight and sprays out into the void.
The rays of starlight are drawn by attraction force and are naturally absorbed into the body of the Fate Supre
Deity.
They are not re words.
He is truly, all of a sudden, sacrificing himself.
That is already sothing that goes beyond madness.
It is not rely at the level of sothing like madness, but sothing transcendent beyond madness.
"Since I offer all that I am to you and let you do as you please...Heavens Above. Please let as well, do what I
wish to do."
And...
The Life Supre Deity Bong Hwa starts to smile brightly.
Even with omniscience, she cannot understand that incomprehensible way of thinking...
Yet there is one repeating history that she knows of.
"So that is how it is. O Future King. Do you know?"
Jjeoeong!
While the Future King is soaked in silence,
Sacrificing himself and offering himself up to the enemy, Seo Eun-hyun raises one hand.
At the sa ti, the connection between the Future King and Kim Young-hoon is cut for an instant.
As if he has received so will or plan from Seo Eun-hyun, Kim Young-hoon lets out a light chuckle, lifts his saber,
and becos
Kurururung!
golden light.
He becos a world of golden light.
He turns into a mass of light that covers the entire domain of purity and then flies straight toward Seo Eun-hyun's
body.
In the next mont, Kim Young-hoon becos a single sword and drives himself into Seo Eun-hyun.
The sword that has been shining with golden light becos colorless as it buries itself in Seo Eun-hyun's body.
Kwarurung!
Next is Jeon Myeong-hoon.
When Seo Eun-hyun waves his hand,
the
instantly severed, and after he ets Seo
attraction
force between Jeon Myeong-hoon and the Future King is
Eun-hyun's eyes and nods, he, by his own will, becos the sa kind
of sword as Kim Young-hoon and drives himself into Seo Eun-hyun.
The red sword, still connected to Indra's Net, flies toward Seo Eun-hyun and pierces into him.
Once again, that sword becos colorless.
Next is Kang Min-hee.
Jjeoooooong!
And then, within that hard-to-understand scene, Bong Hwa steps forward.
Holding a peach-blossom tree branch in one hand, she steps between Seo Eun-hyun and the Future King and
continues speaking with a warm smile.
"He is a Mountain Divine Spirit. And...when the Mountain Divine Spirit casts away arrogance and kneels. When the
Mountain Divine Spirit becos humble."
The Future King's eyes twitch.
"They are the strongest."
Flash!
Four colorless swords lodge in Seo Eun-hyun's body.
At the sa ti, light begins to pour out from all over Seo Eun-hyun's body.
It is a sacred radiance.
Yes, it is the light of True Emperor advancent!
Silver Basket simply cannot understand Seo Eun-hyun's way of thinking with a sober mind.
Only when they judge it by the result alone does it just turn out like that!
The existence that is called Seo Eun-hyun reached the conclusion that, in the end, he cannot win before the Future King without offering up everything.
That is why he simply laid down all arrogance and pride, offered up everything of himself, and sought to advance
to beco the Owner of Miracles.
"Since he has protected , I shall also protect him." Bong Hwa's clear voice rings out through the entire gestation world and becos a wall of golden flas that blocks the way to Seo Eun-hyun.
"The enthronent of a new Owner of Miracles...you will not be able to stop it."
Wo-woong-
When the Owner of Life waves her hand, the Heavenly Void Furnace that was far away flies into her hand.
She sticks her hand into that Heavenly Void Furnace and takes sothing out.
"In the na of Life, I command. Live."
As light scatters over the entire world, a being who had died begins to co back to life.
Tstsss-
A being made of pure white salt stands beside the Life Supre Deity.
From the Head Realm drifting nearby, souls and bodies fly over and combine with them.
The Owner of Life is reviving the Heavenly Venerable of Miracles who has died to Fate.
"Death is fixed, so it is but a temporary revival."
"I know."
The pure white being and the golden being stand in front of the Future King, guarding the front of Seo Eun-hyun like gatekeepers.
Seo Eun-hyun looks at their backs and his hand trembles.
His eyes look as if he wants to run to them right now, bow to them, and shout his thanks.
However, he only sits there in that spot and faces Kim Yeon.
The next mont, Kim Yeon smiles brightly, becos a pale pink sword, flies to Seo Eun-hyun and pierces into him, and changes to colorless.
Five swords are embedded in Seo Eun-hyun's body.
'Why?'
In Silver Basket's eyes, it is an utterly irrational sacrifice.
Seo Eun-hyun may have no advantage no matter how one looks at it, but how can he offer himself up as a sacrifice to his opponent to seek a chance for advancent?
The Heavenly Kings may have built deep ties, but how can they hand over their very existence to a comrade without hesitation?
How can the one who has reached the position of Owner of History, and the one who could have beco the Owner of Miracles, stand there at the front even while knowing they have no chance of victory?
Silver Basket has always bet only on what has a chance to win.
Because as soone who is of Creator God origin, they have no reason to lose everything and roll around in misery just anywhere.
Even though the odds are no more than four pun, they still dived in because this place is the highest peak they can hope for, and they threw themselves in with a heart that is half resignation.
And even now, they continue looking for an opportunity.
The reason they told Bong Hwa and Seo Eun-hyun the way to oppose the Future King's Divine Art if they advance to True Emperor was solely in order to use the gap when the two oppose the Future King even for a mont to seize back their main body and buy ti to flee.
As one originating from a Creator God, it is certainly true that they feel sympathy for the Future King, and it is also true that they believe Seo Eun-hyun and the others have the possibility of looking for an opening in the Future King's Divine Art.
However, in the end, their final objective is not sothing like overthrowing the Future King.
They are, after all, an outsider.
They are an existence whose purpose is, ultimately, to experience countless worlds and then return to their holand and bring their own world into genesis.
To such a Silver Basket, those who throw their bodies away despite having no possibility at all are people they cannot understand.
They also think Bong Hwa as an ordinary existence, but they cannot understand at all how existence with an ordinary soul and potential can throw herself in like that without hesitation.
'Why not just...keep letting him be eaten by the Future King?'
There is only one thod of attacking the Future King that Silver Basket thought of.
The Future King is an existence weak to blessings.
So all one has to do is preserve themselves and send blessings and compassion from a distance.
The Creator Gods felt compassion for the Future King even as they were slaughtered, but that is only because they are true transcendents.
It was possible because the very concept called death does not apply to them.
However, those people are close to transcendents but are not yet transcendents.
They can die.
'Why...when they are not re mortals and yet have approached so close to transcendents...why do they face him with such an inefficient thod...?'
Why, even while sacrificing themselves, do they hand over everything to the opponent?
Silver Basket cannot understand it.
There is an effect.
The starlights of the Star Genesis Supre Deity, which are absorbed into the Future King's sacred body, spread out inside that body made of darkness like ink dispersing in water.
They turn into a gentle green light and flow down from the Future King's chest like green blood.
The Future King looks at the Life Supre Deity and the Heavenly Venerable of Miracles, who stand in front of him.
And as Hong Fan sees Seo Eun-hyun beyond them, who is advancing to beco the Owner of Miracles...he clutches his own chest, from which the cluster of green light is pouring down.
"The Formless Poison...is deep, so very deep."
Silver Basket understands Seo Eun-hyun has injected so poison into the Future King from within a domain that even Silver Basket themselves has not been able to properly observe.
They also understand that he is acting like so because he has faith in it.
They understand the principle that that poison is made of goodwill and blessings, and that the more the blessings grow, the more cracks it will make in the Future King's heart.
But even so, they cannot understand why they are offering themselves up to the Future King.
Just...
Wouldn't the poison have been triggered enough even if he simply blessed the Future King with words?
Why on earth would they move so hastily, going so far as to sacrifice themselves?
If they have already poisoned the opponent, should they not wait for the poison to spread?
If they simply bless him with words and wait for the poison to spread, then at that ti rescue the other Ender comrades and advance to beco the Owner of Miracles, would that not be a way that does not sacrifice themselves and does not force Bong Hwa and the Heavenly Venerable of Miracles to make a reckless sacrifice?
And...
Seo Eun-hyun opens his mouth.
"It is difficult to obtain a human body, and it is difficult still to realize the Dao..."
His gaze is directed at the Future King, but Silver Basket also feels as if he is speaking to them.
"Following the human heart, one seeks the root of the Dao..."
Seo Eun-hyun's entire body starts to shine.
"If this body cannot achieve transcendence in this life...
"When shall I wait again to transcend this existence?"
Now.
Not the future, but this very mont.
Silver Basket, who lives for eternity, cannot understand that sight.
But there is one thing they can understand.
If there is a way to defeat the God of Future and Light who governs hope.
It is that one must treasure the present itself regardless of the odds of victory.
The Future King begins to invoke his Divine Art in order to take out in a single blow Seo Eun-hyun, who is beginning his advancent, and Bong Hwa, who is protecting him.
And Seo Eun-hyun, even though it is clear that in the very next mont he will collapse helplessly before that Divine Art, corrects the words spoken by the Heavens in a clear voice.
"Heavens Above. That is not poison. I know that from the 16th cycle onwards, you have continually expelled it and have struggled to return it to ...but that is not sothing I have forcibly shoved into you. It is rely sothing that has always been inside you.
"Just as the existence called the Heavens is absolute in this world and thus cannot be denied, what is called the heart likewise is not sothing you can deny just because you wish to deny it.
"It is simply...nothing more than awakening what has been within you."
'Ah...'
At last, Silver Basket.
They realize that they too, influenced by that madman, have gone insane.
'Even though I possess the root of Awakening, have I been unable to awaken anything?'
Woo-wooooong-
Within the iron bars made by compacting the souls of the Enders, they begin to activate their Divine Art again.
Wooo-woooooong!
Their soul begins to resonate.
They do not fight battles with no chance of victory.
However, even though they know that there is absolutely no chance at all...
Even though they know that if they do this now, they will absolutely not be able to escape, they begin, for the first
ti in his life, to do sothing foolish.
Silver Basket, who until now has sat in the cage feigning powerlessness, only watching for a chance to flee while Bong Hwa and Seo Eun-hyun advance to True Emperor and confront the Future King, cries out from within the
cage for the first ti.
:: Open your eyes. : :
Flash!
The cage begins to shake.
The souls of the Enders begin to rise.
:: Open your ears. : :
Those whose personalities have been taken away by the Future King begin to hear Silver Basket's words.
All the beings whose lives have been entirely mortgaged to the Future King begin to regain their reason.
All those whose minds are awakened by Silver Basket begin to break free from the shape of the cage as they listen
to their words.
:: Open your mouths! ::
And all the Enders who have lost their voices by the Future King begin to reclaim their speech.
At the ti, when the souls of the Enders were first revived.
At that ti, they considered Enders at the level of re mortal beings useless, so they casually burst them and
killed them, and made use only of those Enders at about True Immortality or above.
Even though they possess the root of Awakening, they did not awaken Enders at Great Net Immortal and below.
They thought they were unnecessary.
They thought they had no effect on the odds of victory.
But now,
Infected with madness by the anomaly called Seo Eun-hyun,
Silver Basket begins to awaken even the reason of the spirits of the tiny Enders they have thought unnecessary,
and begins to awaken everything they have lost.
:: Enders who have ford your personalities in the otherworlds and forged your connection there before coming
here, hear . All of you, return. I, Silver Basket, Creator God of an Otherworld, shall remain here in your place. As the price for that weight! ::
And with that one declaration, they begin to awaken in countless Enders the path back.
Silver Basket, confined in Mount Suru, who has only been looking for a chance to escape while waiting for the day they can return to their holand, throws away with their own hands the escape opportunity they have desired most, and sends the souls of all Enders back to their hos.
Centered on Silver Basket, innurable spirits of Enders are liberated.
Because the will of liberation left behind by the Liberation Supre Deity still remains, the Enders are instantly
released from the form of the cage and begin to return outside the Audience Chamber, to their faraway ho
worlds.
Because the soul of an otherworld's Creator God, Silver Basket, has in effect declared that they will remain in this world in their stead to shoulder their debts, even the power of Immortal Cultivation cannot pull them back.
Since they are sent away under the influence of Divine Arts, they also cannot be brought back simply by turning
back ti with the Radiance Mantra.
Only if the Future King directly uses attraction force can they be brought back.
So might be puzzled.
They might ask what sending back the souls of the Enders has to do with defeating the Future King.
But Silver Basket knows.
It was a mistake for the Future King to briefly lock Silver Basket in the cage.
Thanks to that, through the insight of Creator God, they saw the story of the Great Mantra that the Future King is
making.
They were able to glimpse at its ending.
:: Choose, O Future King. : :
Silver Basket laughs heartily.
That laughter is a pleasure that surpasses all the emotions they have ever felt while existing in constant boredom
as a transcendent.
:: Will you stop the birth of the Owner of Miracles, or...will you stop the materials for the [Absolute of Hope] you
are trying to create from scattering to pieces!!?? ::
The Future King's Divine Art makes him supre so long as he is the one enforcing the story.
And no matter how supre he is, one hand cannot defeat two hands.
Even if he becos the strongest, he cannot choose both.
And...
Finally, for the first ti, a clear light of emotion enters Hong Fan Gu Ju's eyes, and, filled with rage, he pays no
mind to Seo Eun-hyun's advancent and extends attraction force with all his might toward the outside of the Audience Chamber.
As an altar to give birth to a new Creator God, the Future King placed offerings on all four sides of Suru to pray
for the Creator God.
In the north, an offering that symbolizes the Absolute of Miracle.
In the south, an offering that symbolizes the Absolute of Fate.
In the east, an offering that symbolizes the Absolute of History.
However, in the west, where Bong Hwa originally has been seated, he prepared a sowhat unusual offering.
An offering that symbolizes [Humaneness], the Western Zero King.
And, for the God of Hope, humaneness can only be hope.
Gathering the souls of Enders to make a cage is not so hobby of his to use unusual materials to imprison Bong
Hwa like a bird for amusent.
After passing through countless hardships and trials, after going through his own beginning, developnt, twist,
conclusion, he gathered the souls of Enders brainwashed to be similar to himself and made them into a birdcage to imprison the next-generation Creator God.
:: O Future King. Do you want to give birth to an Omnipotent One with your own hands? Not satisfied even with
that, do you want to brainwash the Creator God? ::
No longer in the lofty form of an absolute being he has shown until now, the Future King, transford into the shape of a rampaging tyrant, instantly seizes Silver Basket's soul with a crushing grip.
However, Silver Basket only laughs and continues to pour out the truth they have glimpsed.
:: Your first purpose is to erase miracles, to erase connection. I see. Because one can look back on a miracle. Because one can attain repentant enlightennt over it... But hope can only be looked upon forward. You hope that, forgetting the past nad Mount Suru and the Future King, the Creator God will create a new world within
hope! ::
Ujijijik-
Silver Basket's soul crumples within the powerful attraction force.
The Future King steps out beyond the Audience Chamber and takes his stance.
-Emptiness Sword.
-Fifth Style.
-Applied Technique.
-Great ( ).
The Emptiness Sword is thrown.
The applied technique of Upper, like Lord, simply multiplies.
The thrown sword of Emptiness splits in the Void.
It splits and splits again, until it has split enough to blot out the light of entire otherworlds, and then wedges itself
into countless places throughout the otherworlds.
Kwagwagwagwang!
Herbeauty
Countless otherworlds collapse.
The otherworlds with Creator Gods who already possess an ego crumble into powder under his hand and drift
around the gestation world surrounding Mount Suru.
Thus, the worlds that remain are worlds without gods with an ego who can actively defend against the attack.
It is not even Hope, yet the worlds simply turn to powder under the Emptiness Sword.
However, even after turning countless worlds to powder in one stroke, the souls of Enders he regains amount to
only a single handful.
He still has not recovered the majority of the Enders.
Normally, the Future King would never choose such an action.
For the scattered spirits are sothing he can always pick up again at any ti.
No matter how important the material, in the end it will fall into his hands.
But [now] is different.
Because Bong Hwa has advanced to Life Supre Deity, and six of the seven Absolute Fragnts of Miracle
beco powers he can control in his hands,
In this very mont of [now], when he laid down the altar, placed the offerings, and lit the beacon fire to confer
Bong Hwa as an Omnipotent One, hope is the most important elent.
A Regressor's Tale of Cultivation is a story ant to see the ending that Hong Fan Gu Ju desires.
If it is not the ending he has set, it has no aning at all.
Therefore, now, with the completion of everything right before him,
Hong Fan Gu Ju, who has in the end even turned himself into a component of the story, is pushed in the back by
the Divine Art he himself has created and must move not to deal with Seo Eun-hyun, but to pick up the souls of the
Enders he has considered trash, so that he can obtain the ending he desires.
"Why is it? Why have you thrown away what you most desired and sacrificed yourself, O Silver Basket? If you had
simply waited quietly for my story to be completed, Hwe-ha would later have released you."
Silver Basket laughs with pleasure at Hong Fan Gu Ju's question.
:: Rather than your story that is to co in the future, it seems the stories of those here now are more enjoyable. : :
They are, in the end, an Ender of Pleasure.
Hong Fan Gu Ju turns and looks back.
Countless coincidences upon coincidences cause Seo Eun-hyun to, barely, absorb the six Heavenly Kings that
have been born.
Behind Seo Eun-hyun, the shadows of the six Heavenly Kings absorbed into him shimr faintly.
Even Oh Hye-seo is, for a brief ti, freed from his control by Bong Hwa and Salt Sea joining their strength.
Since the Absolute Fragnt of Desire is in his own hand, Seo Eun-hyun cannot advance.
Yet there is no such thing as feeling at ease.
Miracle is irrational and uncertain.
He does not know what new variable may arise.
He must quickly stabilize the Divine Art.
In practical terms, now that various ans have been blocked by Silver Basket's sacrifice,
He cannot pick up all those countless Enders in a short ti, so he must bring only the Enders who will occupy the
greatest weight in the Absolute of Hope and stabilize the story.
Silver Basket, Obsidian, Vast Cold.
Among them, Silver Basket is in his own hand, so only Obsidian and Vast Cold are left.
-Emptiness Sword.
-Fifth Move.
-Applied Technique.
-God (#).
The rapidly thrown Emptiness Sword 'perates' through countless otherworlds and flies toward Obsidian's
holand.
Imdiately after, Obsidian's holand directly shatters under the authority of Hong Fan Gu Ju, and the attraction
force of fate pulls Obsidian's soul over.
Next is the soul of the Tridacna Vast Cold Heavenly King.
The world where the ho universe of Seo Eun-hyun and Yang Su-jin lies.
Earth.
-True Martial Arts
Repulsion force maximizes and goes beyond attraction force itself, transforming into a [power] that embodies
destruction itself.
The Absolute of Fate dwells in the sword.
A power that can tear Vast Cold to death even if they regain their senses and defend.
-Emptiness Sword.
Hong Fan Gu Ju brings the Emptiness Sword down toward Earth and, without taking his eyes off Seo Eun-hyun,
focuses so as not to miss even the slightest change that occurs in him.
And as Hong Fan Gu Ju caves in the world where Earth exists with a single strike, he finally bursts into laughter.
-Fourth Move.
"Haw haw..."
Artificial Computation Device.
Agate
Immortal Art.
Tainted Soul Filling the Heavens
Fate.
Truth Manipulation.
Oh Hye-seo, whom he has considered the lowest bug, the piece of trash who until now has been unable to do
anything.
She connects to Seo Eun-hyun's Auspicious Soul Filling the Heavens and Canvas of Myriad Forms and Connections, which are linked to her own Tainted Soul Filling the Heavens, and compresses Seo Eun-hyun's
Myriad Forms and Connections.
Through the legacy of a predecessor Agate, she calculates and controls infinite variables, converts the compressed Myriad Forms and Connections, and makes them endlessly close to an Absolute fragnt.
With Truth Manipulation, she has the world recognize the Absolute fragnt, which has beco close to the real
thing, as a montary 'real Absolute Fragnt' and toys with the world.
Temporary Absolute Fragnt.
Crystal Glass ().
In this way,
The Absolute Fragnt of Seo Eun-hyun that contains the authority of [Ego-Preservation] is, for an instant,
duplicated through the rebellion of a bug nad Oh Hye-seo and causes a miracle.
-Applied Technique.
Earth collapses in a single blow, and as Hong Fan Gu Ju sees this situation made by countless overlapping coincidences...
-Fate.
He realizes that all of this is an inevitability.
"Are you saying...I should have chosen you? O Miracle."
Even if it is fake, that is clearly an Absolute.
The real one is still in his hand, so it is an imperfection that, as soon as he becos the Owner of Miracles, will
once again fall into ruin.
But even within that imperfection, seeing the Absolute of Miracles that, sohow, by any ans, slipped out of his
hand and yielded the position of Owner of Miracles to Seo Eun-hyun, who has breathed the deepest poison into
him...
As he watches this mont when everything shatters and collapses, he at last becos honest with his own
feelings and starts to laugh.
"Yes. In truth, I also...have wanted to et you."
His greatest fear.
"O God of Connections."
His greatest joy.
"Answer. Where in the world does the true answer lie, why is it that I have been unable to reach happiness, and
upon whom should I have relied upon?"
Within the cluster of all of the heavens' natural colors, the Absolute he has feared the most is seized by the human
who has driven the deepest poison into him...
And the answer he has least wanted to hear resounds through the spaces of countless otherworlds and other
Heaven and Earths.
"You should have taken only yourself as the lamp of truth, and lived relying on that truth."
He listens to those words and acknowledges them.
For the mont he hears those words, he sees, in every future after those words, himself wanting to pour out his
everything toward Seo Eun-hyun.
"I have beco the Heavens, have not avoided any responsibility, and have beco your place of rest."
"If so, then why do you deceive yourself with the words sacrifice and hope, and shift the final responsibility onto
the person you have loved?"
The final contradiction of the story Hong Fan Gu Ju has dread of.
The truth that, in the end, his hope is nothing more than dumping entirely onto the soon-to-be-omnipotent Yang
Hwe the responsibility and inquiry into salvation that he himself has abandoned.
"Enough. I am now tired of this. When there is a blade, what reason is there to take turns speaking?"
In the end, he cannot resist the impulse that, if it is the God of Connections before his eyes, he can draw forth and
clash with his [everything], and he throws at him the true Absolute Fragnt that is within himself.
He hurls Seo Eun-hyun's original fate and his essence at him and declares.
"Since you originate from , your life is indebted to . I shall break you head-on in your highest state and return
your entire life to my possession, and thus fulfill the Regressor's Tale of Cultivation."
It is a prophecy that he designates as the price by handing over the Absolute Fragnt of Desire.
That absolute power is normally sothing that even a fellow True Emperor cannot escape from.
Tsuaaaaaaat!
And at last, as all the Absolute Fragnts are obtained, Seo Eun-hyun, who has placed Miracle in his hand and
completely seized it, sheds the Vestige and transforms into a new existence.
An advancent that seems even faster than Bong Hwa's.
It is perhaps because of the influence of Silver Basket's Divine Art and his master who has once beco a half
Owner of Miracles.
And...
It must also be because of the other two True Emperors who support and look forward to his enthronent with all
their
might.
The Vestige he has been wearing beco a jade throne.
As the Absolute Fragnt of Crystal Glass falls away again,
It becos a throne made out of connections.
It is Crystal Glass without a single speck of stain.
It is a crystal throne cleaner than water.
"No. My life is mine, but it is also not mine alone. Thus, I cannot give all of it to you alone."
He becos the Owner of the Crystal Throne.
As a new Owner of Miracles is enthroned, he makes his na known across all of Mount Suru.
"So...what I can give you is only that one life that has left nothing but the connection with you."
The two, who stand atop countless spacetis and causalities, face each other.
Beyond the starlight crown, the God of Connections, Seo Eun-hyun, who now newly wears a white mianguan,
swings the silver Sword Extre Heavenly Sword he holds in his hand.
Jjeooooooong!!!
Spaceti is torn away.
The whole of history is carved out and erased by the divine power of Cutting Principle.
And as he looks over at the spacetis of the distant past, Seo Eun-hyun whispers toward the one who peeks at
those
spacetis.
"Just wait a little."
Because then, surely, they will et him and form a good connection.
He tears out an entire tiline of a distant past and hands it over to the Future King.
The God of Hope who wears a black mianguan, Hong Fan Gu Ju, receives Seo Eun-hyun's 16th cycle in its entirety,
makes that life belong to himself, and counts the prophecy as having been fulfilled.
Though it is a desecration to fate, but it is because the man before his eyes is a being who has the qualification to
desecrate it.
And because the ownership of this life also has value to him.
Above all, because in any case he is going to win this ti again.
However, even after that, a price remains, and in the end, just like the peach that Yang Hwe has given him, he has
to cancel all the debts of fate he has given to Seo Eun-hyun.
Yet, whereas Yang Hwe's gift cald his agitation and healed him,
What Seo Eun-hyun gives only further triggers and sinks deeper the Formless Poison that has seeped into Hong
Fan Gu Ju's heart.
The pure heart and blessing of a single human who, throughout the entire 16th cycle that Seo Eun-hyun
rembers, has believed in Hong Fan Gu Ju and sincerely given thanks.
As he accepts it, the Future King Fate Supre Deity Hong Fan Gu Ju, in order to prepare against the last True
Emperor to be enthroned.
The Crystal King (KE) Ender Supre Deity (L) Seo Eun-hyun (AN).
In order to clash everything he has against the Owner of Miracles, he begins to take out all of himself.
"Descend into my hand."
Future King Three Heavenly Treasures.
The final divine artifact.
The authority that corresponds to the Radiance Supre Deity's Thirty-Three Heavenly Resplendent Treasure
Pagodas.
Mount Suru Thirty-Three Heavens.
Bringing into his hand the inverted cone called the Suru Three Heavens Great Thousand World, Hong Fan
begins to pour all his light, with all his strength, toward the God of Connections who crashes against him.
Between the clashing clusters of light of Star Genesis and Radiance, the last day of the 16th cycle faintly shines
through.
