Chapter 501

Episode 501. The world doesn’t fall apart like that.

Eighthwangsinmo was a fatalist.

So, he dismissed things like killing his disciple, Tae Il-gwan, and becoming the King of Chundu by offering monks as sacrifices, as fate.

Her attitude toward fate was as absolute as her divine statements.

It is for this reason that he is tolerant of his rivals who get in the way of famous schools.

She believed that Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon, the queen of ten warlords, were intertwined with her fate.

This is because they are similar enough to be thought of as the incarnation of a younger brother who died when they were young, and Empress Dowager Geumsa was the sacrifice chosen by Geumsa.

I don’t know how that fate will end, but one thing is clear.

everything was in your hands.

“Do you want to become a sacrifice like the 10th Empress Dowager?”

That word was like asking, ‘Do you want to go to the heaven of kings too?’

Yeon Jeok-ha answered as if shooting.

“is it so! If you have a conscience, send me to Sister Yeon. Otherwise, the monsters will infest Mt. Fungji.”

It is said that he will kill the twelve horsemen and the white horse army.

Eighthwangsinmo then imitated what Geumsa had told her last night.

“It is not difficult to send you to the heaven of kings. But I don’t know if you can handle the weight.”

“There is nothing to worry about because I will take care of my problems. So let me go.”

“Did you say it was your problem?”

Eighthwangsinmo looked at Yeonjeokha with ridiculed eyes.

is it my problem? He didn’t seem to know what he meant.

“What’s wrong with you too?”

“Nothing at all. So don’t think it’s a problem with me. As you said, this is your problem.”

“What is the problem?”

“Did you already forget that the first marriage ceremony is an equivalent exchange?”

“Equivalent exchange?”

“From Yeoryang Jeong In-moon’s Munju Woo In-mong, the Three Headed Dog Jeok-wol came to the Black Knight, and to Empress Dowager Ten Warriors came the Golden Temple. Do you have any guesses after hearing this?”

“Don’t ask, just tell me.”

“Before the red moon, the first marriage ceremony failed, or even if it succeeded, the demons only descended. In other words, the summoning target is determined by the sacrifice. I was able to summon a proper divinity only after using 10 battles. A golden thread.”

“So?”

“How do you feel about yourself?”

“You really think I might fail because I’m not good enough?”

Then the Eighthwangsinmo laughed.

“you’re welcome. Quite the contrary.”

“Then it’s okay, what’s the matter!”

“Your martial arts are far superior to those of ten former women. It’s almost comparable to a master in the 100’s. Who do you think will come from ‘Heaven of Kings’ to replace you?”

“Who is coming?”

“The ‘Heaven of Kings’ is the place where three heavenly gods, eight kings and nine lords rule. The Golden Temple who summoned Empress Dowager Ten as a sacrifice is one of the nine monarchs. Who do you think will come if you, who are superior to him, are used as a sacrifice? Perhaps the king’s deity might descend. Even the ruler, the Golden Temple, is superior to the absolute, but to be a king! Can you imagine its power?”

“I am not very interested.”

“No, you should be paying attention. Because you know what I’m going to do next.”

“...”

I lost my words for the moment.

One hundred thousand beheaded.

What would happen would mean that madness.

“The summoned being and I have a psychic connection. You must have seen the Three Headed Dog and the Black Knight, right? Even the golden thread, the godhead, cannot disobey My will. The king would too. No matter how king you are, only a part of your godhead will descend.”

“The introduction is long. Tell me the main point.”

“Who can compete with the Golden Temple and the coming King? Hocheon blindness? green wood? Southern League? It’s a relief if you don’t kneel down and beg me to save your life.”

“...”

“I will not stop until I achieve immortality. I will behead 100,000 people with the golden sword and the power of the king. Do you still want to go to ‘King’s Sky’? Do you want to exchange the lives of 100,000 people for Empress Dowager Ten?”

I couldn’t answer the serial number.

It is difficult to handle the Hocheonmaeng and Green Forest even with the current famous bridge and golden thread.

What if something superior to gold thread was added to it?

“Yeah, I’m still fresh.”

Yeonjeokha waved her arms around as if nothing was wrong.

“You should know that if you are healthy, you can find Yeon. Even if you find Yeon-yi, if something happens to you, that also has no meaning.”

“Yes, it’s okay because I travel a lot while staying in the green forest.”

He said in a tone that it was not a star to have a relationship with.

There was a time when I had traveled around for nearly a year to catch the Twelve Horsemen who had infiltrated the green forest.

Of course, it was moving so fast that it was difficult to compare it to then.

Cheongwoon Sword Namgungcheon, who was watching, asked cautiously.

“Is there any news about Jeokhaya Yeoni?”

“yes. Actually, I came running because I had something to discuss about it.”

“Is there something to discuss?”

He told Namgung Byeok and Namgung Cheon the story of the mother of the eight emperors.

“...I think it’s too big a decision for me to decide on my own. I don’t know what to do. I want to go there right now, but if one of the eight kings comes... no, even if one more of the nine comes, the world will go as the famous religious leader wants.”

Namgung Byeok’s mouth was wide open.

To think that there is someone stronger than the famous cult leader in Mt. Poongji!

It was astonishing that even the famous cult leader was stronger than him when he was not under the tenth master.

“Did the golden thread look so strong?”

“Yes, they robbed the government building I was controlling with swordsmanship. I don’t know if he’s a god or not, but he looked one step above me.”

When Yeon Jeok-ha said, ‘one level higher than himself,’ Namgung Byeok shook his head excitedly.

He is a master who stands shoulder to shoulder with the top 10 masters in the world.

But is it one step above that?

In the end, it was no different than saying that he was stronger than the ten thousand masters.

“I can’t understand the true intentions of the person called the Golden Snake. You told the famous religious leader to behead 100,000 people? I’ve never heard of a way to get out of the hands of a divine being by killing a person.”

“I think that golden thread made even the famous cult leader think strangely.”

“Are you talking about a god slayer?”

At Namgungcheon’s words, Yeonjeokha nodded.

“yes. After all, that means, ‘I can be freed by killing someone.’”

“I guess it could be.”

Namgungcheon nodded.

Come to think of it, ‘killing 100,000’ and ‘killing the golden thread’ were somewhat similar.

“Geumsa put a strange wind into the lungs of the famous cult leader! I think you know why the famous religious leader grabbed you and said that.”

“You know? Why is that?”

“Think of the time long ago when Gu Cheonnodo was poisoned by Li Mae Mang-ryang’s poison. Didn’t you make a condition to bring Baekdu Demon-kun back then?”

“It was.”

“This time, I will ask you to help me kill the golden thread. Because you wouldn’t have the confidence to kill the golden lion by yourself. He will need your help to become a God Slayer.”

“Before that, I will go to the heaven of kings.”

“I will wait for that much. Didn’t you wait quite a long time even during the red moon?”

Namgung Byeok, who was listening to the conversation between the two, said a word.

“It looks like you’re thinking of going to ‘Heaven of Kings’.”

“...”

Neither the negative nor the affirmative of the connection was made.

However, in the current situation, silence was no different from affirmation.

Namgung Byeok, one of the greatest knights, continued to speak with a hard face.

“It is a matter of tens of thousands of lives. If the words of the famous cult leader are true, the orthodox faction cannot stop the famous cult leader. Do you even have that in mind?”

Then Namgungcheon intervened.

“If the enemy doesn’t go, can we stop the famous religious leader? doesn’t exist. Whether the enemy goes or not, the famous religious leader will behead 100,000 people.”

“so? Are you saying it’s okay for a famous religious master to obtain a monster worse than a golden thread? To a man who openly said he would behead a hundred thousand people? The people of the world will resent and curse the enemy.”

Namgung Byeok and Namgungcheon’s gaze collided in the air.

As the snowball fight between the father and son continued, the couple quietly got up from their seats.

I ran to just in case, but it seems that there is no way to prevent the beheading of 100,000 people.

If that’s going to happen anyway, as Shim Tong said, he should save at least Namgung-yeon.
