In the distant past, the world was filled with chaos.
Twelve beings who called themselves the heavens.
A powerful force has the control to quell the chaos of the world. But a force that is too strong loses control.
The old monk was walking down the road, looking up at the sky.
At that ti, the sky was the sa as today.
No, the world at that ti was more chaotic than this.
Countless people died every day, and all living beings held their breath.
Only the strong showed off themselves.
Even they died easily.
The world was full of strong people.
In the past, a monk decided to quell this chaos.
The monk started walking down the road without a plan.
In the anti, he t comrades.
The monk and his comrades scolded those who were causing chaos in the world whenever they t them.
At that, they got a nickna.
People called the monk a guide.
He was the one who guided the lost on the path to take.
As ti passed, now.
He was still walking down the road.
However, too much ti had made him alone.
A guide sees many paths.
The path of an ordinary laborer.
The path of an extraordinary hero.
The path of a woman in a brothel.
The path of a corrupt gambler.
There was one thing he realized while looking at those many paths.
This huge star that people call the world or the universe has a certain flow.
Just as yin and yang are in harmony.
When a great evil appears in the world, the star will surely put forth a good to oppose it.
Just as where there is light, there must be darkness sowhere.
The guide called this the law of causality.
In the past, the twelve absolute beings who called themselves the heavens were good.
The land they ruled continued to be a peaceful and prosperous era. People spent an infinitely prosperous ti.
But it turned into hell in an instant.
The corruption of the absolute good.
No one knew why they had beco corrupt.
So said it was because they were bored with life, and so said it was because they were so strong that they wanted to test their own strength.
Whatever the reason, it beca the reason for the actions of the twelve heavens.
In the first place, there was no reason for their actions.
The monk walked down the road without a plan to find peace in the world again, and he subdued six heavens.
At the end of that road, the monk who had reached Tianzhu was still looking up at the sky as he had in the past.
In the guide's eyes, it was seen that the world would beco chaotic again.
At this point, a hero had to be sent out into the world according to the law of causality.
But the world was silent.
The hero who first saved Tianzhu.
A re human who had reached the law of causality of the heavens and had the nickna of a guide.
He, who had settled the chaos of Tianzhu with only three comrades, now knew the reason why the law of causality was twisted.
Enlightennt.
The crystallization of enlightennt obtained by seeing countless sights while living for many years. The knowledge he possessed was no exaggeration to say that it was a living history itself.
Even for him, this was the first ti he had seen such a case.
"You."
He thought he was a descendant of the Dragon God Lord.
He was another hero who had subdued the six heavens.
But this guy.
"Your lifeline is cut."
This ant one thing.
The reason why the law of causality of the world was twisted.
"You have reversed the heavens."
In other words, because of this son of a bitch, the world was about to be destroyed.
* * *
I am also a proper Demonic Path practitioner who knows etiquette. People may think that all Demonic Path practitioners are arrogant, but those guys are not Demonic Path practitioners, but unorthodox practitioners.
A true Demonic Path practitioner is a romantic who knows benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette.
Although everyone's eyes are a little crazy with the concept of the law of the jungle, if you take that away, I can proudly say that a Demonic Path practitioner is more honest than a shady Orthodox Faction practitioner and more straightforward than a dirty unorthodox practitioner.
So I also tried to express my gratitude to this old man who had saved , us. In fact, at first, I even bowed my head, saying thank you.
"Tsk!"
Until he clicked his tongue at .
We were now in the safe house that the old man had guided us to.
"Because of you, everyone is about to die, damn it! I'm old too. To have revealed my location by mistaking such a fake."
"Excuse , old man?"
For now, since he was the Divine Monk's master and an elder, I called him old man.
"Why? If you have a mouth, try to make an excuse for this situation!"
"Are you doing this because I'm not the son of the Dragon God Lord?"
"Yes! Who is the Dragon God Lord! He is a hero who saved this world, on par with the Monkey King!"
"If you an that Monkey King, are you talking about the monkey from the old story, Journey to the West?"
"Haha! Ti is so cruel. To think that the Monkey King has been reduced to a re monkey. It's obvious that the guys who disturb the heavens spread it like that. Because they would be embarrassed that they were defeated! In my ti, those guys couldn't even look in the eye! You know?"
"Yes! I know! Of course! Of course!"
It was clear that the Divine Monk's master had gone senile from living for too long. Seeing that he couldn't distinguish between old fables and reality. He must have especially liked Journey to the West.
"But you can still control your bladder and bowels, right?"
"Tsk! Because of this idiot!"
Still, he had saved my life, so I had the loyalty to take care of his bladder and bowels about three tis. For your information, changing urine-soaked pants is my specialty.
"Now the world is over, it's all over! Sob, sob!"
He suddenly starts wailing.
As I didn't know what to do, the Sword Demoness approached the old man, wrapped her arms around his head, and patted his back.
At that, the old man cried even more in the Sword Demoness's arms, rubbed his face all over, and was subtly raising one corner of his mouth.
I let out a short sigh as I watched that scene. I was grateful that he had saved us, but seeing his senile appearance was another matter.
And I'll have to have a stern talk with Seryeong later. The kid is so innocent that she doesn't even know what that perverted old man is doing.
I called the Mad Demon briefly.
"Mad Demon."
Is it called telepathy? The Mad Demon, without asking for anything, approached the old man and was about to punch him in the back of the head.
At that, the old man dodged it as if he had eyes on the back of his head. Although the plan failed, I achieved my initial goal.
"Seryeong, you shouldn't comfort just anyone like that."
"Alright. From now on, I'll only do it for you, Jae-ha."
That's not what I ant... for now, since the situation is what it is, I decided to let it go.
Although we had escaped the urgent situation thanks to the old man, we were still being chased.
Just then, Gurat, who had been on watch, returned.
"The guys?"
"They're not visible yet. We erased our tracks as we ca here, so they won't be able to find us so quickly."
"Hmm. What do we do now?"
"What do you an, what do we do, it's all over! The bird's eyes are so good!"
This old man is being a wet blanket again.
At those words, the people who had been calming down started trembling again. The child who had stopped crying started crying again.
"Since we're going to die soon anyway, what's the point of worrying? Just give up and enjoy what you want to enjoy! That's the advice I can give you as a guide!"
I decided to ignore the senile old man. In the first place, seeing that state, I didn't even think about treating my body.
The conclusion I ca to after thinking was one.
I presented my opinion through telepathy.
-If it cos to it, we'll throw that old man and run. How about it?
I saw earlier that his martial prowess was quite good.
-If Jae-ha says so, it's good.
The Sword Demoness agreed.
-It'll be fun!
The Mad Demon agreed.
-It's very practical.
Gurat agreed.
With this, the eting was over. I walked straight up to the old man.
The old man clicked his tongue at again.
"Tsk! You damn fake! You heaven-reversing bastard who will lead the world to ruin! And an idiot at that!"
Although he looked completely senile, he was the old man who had cald my energy. Even if we were to part ways, I decided to find out how he had done it.
"Excuse , old man. I have a question."
"An ignorant bastard who is curious about everything!"
"How did you calm my energy back then?"
"I didn't do that."
What?
"You did that."
"I didn't do anything."
"A destroyer who doesn't even know what he's done!"
If I had just regained my martial prowess, I would have just smashed that guy's head! Hold it in, Jae-ha. You are a proud Demonic Path practitioner.
Just then. I felt Baek-ah wriggling at my elbow.
"Shasha!"
It seed to have returned to its lively state after waking up. It was crawling on my body and showing its private parts, this bastard wasn't normal either. I wish it would just go back to sleep.
"Huh?"
And the old man, who saw Baek-ah, opened his eyes wide and froze.
Does he have a snake phobia? Or a reptile phobia? Sotis there are people like this. People who are afraid of birds, or cockroaches.
When I put my hand on his nose, he wasn't breathing. Then, the old man suddenly snatched Baek-ah, who was showing off the majesty of its private parts on my shoulder.
Even though Baek-ah looks like that, it's a guy that's quite picky about people. I imagined Baek-ah biting the old man coolly.
"Shasha!"
But Baek-ah was boldly showing its private parts, which it only shows to those with whom it has the highest intimacy.
At that sight, a feeling of disappointnt washed over for so reason.
Tsk! I thought it only showed it to .
"You, you are!"
"Shasha!"
"Aren't you Baek-ryeong!"
"Shasha!"
"Yes, I'm old too. But why have you shrunk so much?"
"Shasha!"
"What? You're saying my thing has shrunk more? And that I should look at the wrinkles on my forehead before talking about the wrinkles on yours?"
"Shasha!"
"Hahaha! That's also true."
Is senility really this scary?
Anyone would think he was really talking to a snake. Of course, Baek-ah was just saying 'shasha!', and there was no particular aning to it.
The old man, who had gently placed Baek-ah on the ground, looked at . His gaze was unusual. If I didn't know that the old man was a senile old man, I would have mistaken him for so kind of immortal, as I felt a profound energy from his eyes.
They say that a genius and a fool are separated by a single sheet of paper.
This is exactly that.
"If it's a child that Baek-ryeong follows... maybe you're the real one."
The old man looked up at the sky again.
The road of stars was gradually disappearing behind the world.
And today's sun was rising.
-Monk.
-Why?
-You go west.
-What about you?
-I'll go east.
-Alone? Without any comrades? Do you think it's possible?
-It's possible.
-You're crazy.
-Because it's a world where you can't live if you're not crazy.
The young monk who had left for the west beca an old monk.
He was now looking at the damn bastard who had dared to reverse the heavens and twist the law of causality.
"Child. Are you good at gambling?"
"I have a rather deep connection with that side through history and tradition."
"Then would you like to gamble? Since everyone will die if we stay like this anyway."
My father said. He said that if you gamble, there are only two converging results.
Either you win all the money and reverse your life.
Or you lose all the money and your life is ruined.
"What happens if I succeed?"
"You'll reverse your life."
This unknowably huge thing called the universe, even for him, a guide who had lived for many years, there were still many things he didn't know.
However, there was sothing he had felt while living, and that was that there was a reason for everything.
There must be a reason why he t this child at this very mont.
"Decide. Whether you will wait for the bird demon to arrive as it is, or whether you will gamble."
My mother said.
-Jae-ha, you have to work diligently and save money. If you gamble like your father, you'll ruin your family. Since you have a handso face like this mother of yours, let's go into the entertainnt world. You have a face that is in high demand. As expected of my son!
My father said.
-Jae-ha, life is about going for it even if you can't eat. What is life? It's one shot! Or are you going to roll your body for the rest of your life like your mother?
Fuck. There's not a single piece of advice in my parents' words. What kind of family is this!
"So what's the thod?"
"Sit in the lotus position and close your eyes. From now on, we will go against the reversal of heaven that is on your body. If there is a reason for it, a result will co out."
Can I really trust this senile old man? I opened my eyes slightly and asked.
"But what happens if I fail?"
"I don't know either. It's the first ti I'm doing this to soone other than myself."
"What?"
With the question, I opened my eyes with the feeling of falling from a thousand-foot cliff.
* * *
I was standing on the ground until just now, but I fell from a cliff.
The pain I felt all over my body was telling that this was real.
If my body hadn't been caught on a tree branch when I fell, I would have surely died.
"What on earth happened?"
I was in the middle of the desert until just now, but now I'm in a forest sowhere.
Crackle, crackle.
The sound of firewood burning.
Looking forward, soone was making a fire in front of a log cabin in the forest. He mutters as he turns over the embers.
"You've finally co."
A tone as if he knew I would co here.
He looks at .
"I was waiting for the ti... huh?"
"Huh?"
That person is!
"Jae-ha?"
"Mister?"
My father had only one person he could call a close friend. Of course, my father's close friend was also a wretched human being who enjoyed gambling with my father.
"What about my Soo-ah, why did you co?"
"My Soo-ah?"
"Yes. My daughter! The arrangent I made to prepare for the future by sharing my innate qi!"
"Are you talking about Yoo Soo-ah, the young leader of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult?"
"Yes! The genius beautiful girl who will save the future with the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Bones! Why is it not my cute Soo-ah! Jae-ha! Why are you here!"
I never would have thought that that wretched human being was the forr Heavenly Demon.
While admiring my father's connections, my fantasy about the forr Heavenly Demon was shattered at once.
The Mad World Heavenly Demon is bullshit, it's a relief if he's a Mad World Pushover.
But the forr Heavenly Demon.
"Mister, aren't you dead?"
"That's right. I'm dead. And this is the world of my will left in my innate qi."
"Innate qi?"
"Yes. I passed it on to Soo-ah myself. To prepare for the future. But."
For a mont, a sharp gaze was directed at .
"Why are you here?"
"I don't know."
That's what I want to ask.
