Episode 705. Elyos’ fundamentalism is radical.
Of the nine gates of the Savior, the heavenly gate is very special.
It was the door to the world of true Zen and proof of the special relationship between the creator god and the sect.
As the years passed, the value of the former faded.
Since no one was able to open the Gate of Heaven, the Gate of Heaven became obsolete.
But still, there is one thing that hasn’t changed.
That is, the god of creation entrusted the management of the gate to the world of true Zen to the religious sect.
Although he could not open it, his role as administrator remained.
Jongmoon willingly fulfilled the role.
They had no doubt that it was their mission.
It was obviously like that until the massive invasion of Macheon.
Today, the forces of Macheon were difficult to stop with the power of the nine schools and some gods.
As Gwangmyeong-Jincheon said, there was no hope without the intervention of Heaven.
When the heavens intervene in earnest, a ‘Primeval War’ will take place in Kuju.
Even if Heaven wins somehow, it is obvious that enormous sacrifices will follow.
That is why Gwangmyeong-Jincheon mentioned astronomy as a reward for intervening in the war.
Gwangmyeongjincheon’s request made the scholars reconsider astronomy.
The Venerable Gwangseong of the Tianluo sect identified the sect and the heavenly gate.
To him, the words of Gwangmyeong Jincheon were stamped on his foot by the ax he believed in.
But not everyone is like that.
For example, the Venerable Jinpyo of Taesangjong sympathized with Gwangmyeongjincheon’s claim to some extent.
The gate of heaven attracts demons from the heavens.
Considering the eternal peace of the Savior, sending them to heaven was a good way to go.
So when the Venerable Kwangseong looked at it with eyes seeking consent, he did not respond.
Rather, he carefully expressed his opinion.
“Daejongsa-nim, the head of the school, has lived by claiming to be the manager of the Astronomical Gate. Please note that I am an administrator. The master of the heavenly gate is not the sect. The owner of the astronomy is only one Creator God.”
Yeonjeokha looked at the Venerable Jinpyo with a sullen face.
Seeing that he emphasized that he was a manager, not an owner, I knew what he was thinking.
“So?”
“If the heavens say they will take care of it, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to hand it over to them.”
“In what ways?”
“As you know, demons and demons in the heavenly world worship heavenly gates. Seeing the Astronomical Gate and dying is the purpose of life. If there is a heavenly gate in Kuju, the demonic heaven will continue to invade like now.”
“Then let’s leave the gates of heaven to the heavens?”
“It sounds strange, but it is. Heaven is the only force that can compete with Macheon. To be honest, our school has had the Astronomical Gate for hundreds of thousands of years, but it was just a symbol. Even if I hand it over to heaven anyway, it won’t mean anything more than that.”
A light commotion broke out among the masters of the sect.
The members of the Chun-roi sect criticized the Taesang sect members who sympathized with the words of the Venerable Jinpyo.
As the commotion grew longer, Venerable Guangcheng raised his hand.
After the Chun Lai sect members kept their mouths shut, the Taesang sect soldiers also stopped criticizing.
No matter how different the sects are, it is impossible to go against the instructions of the sect.
“It is true that Grand Master’s Astronomical Gate is in a state of insignificance, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t send it to Heaven. The holy relics of the clan were destroyed in one day. However, if the heavenly gate is transferred to the heavenly world, the religious gate will become nothing. Astronomy is not just a symbol. Astronomy is also the history of the sects related to the origins of the nine sects. Handing over human history to the Elyos? Humans are the most fragile beings in this world. Nevertheless, wasn’t it because of the holy relics and the heavenly gate that we were able to give strength to the neck? Now that the Holy Relic has been destroyed, even after passing the Astronomical Gate, humans have nothing more to offer. This means that you have to live while being hit by the demons and being ignored by the Elyos.”
Then the Venerable Jinpyo walked away.
“Are you willing to lay down your life for your pride?”
“If so, the venerable Jinpyo told the Elyos to remove the liver and gallbladder, are you saying? Are you saying you want to give up the sacred mission passed down from your ancestors? With what face do you want to see the ancestors when you die!”
When the argument between the two was about to turn into an emotional fight, Yeonjeokha stopped it.
“I’ll just go there.”
When Grand Master Yeon Jeok-ha made an uncomfortable face, everyone fell silent.
“The Song Union.”
“yes.”
“Since there is a heaven gate for each school gate, let other schools know about the meaning of Gwangmyeongjincheon and ask if it is okay. I need to start by gathering the opinions of the sects about astronomy.”
“Shall we send someone to the Light Flame Bell and the Buddhist Bell?”
The Gokbunjo union looked at Yeonjeokha’s complexion.
Why don’t you know that you are
When you reach the secular level, your insight is opened and you know everything you don’t want to know.
Still, there is a right line.
Gwangmyeongjincheon should not be driven only negatively like the Venerable Gwangseong.
That only made the relationship between Gwangmyeong Jincheon and Daejongsa even more distant.
When the Venerable Jinpyo kept his mouth shut, even the younger Jeokha didn’t take it anymore.
Then, suddenly, something came to mind.
“The Venerable Gwangseong.”
“yes.”
“When the Venerable Kwangseong thinks, wanting Astronomy is like an Elyos? Or is it like Gwangmyeong Jincheon?”
“I don’t know. But in the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Elyos have never asked for Astronomy.”
“Maybe it’s not the will of the Elyos?”
“If you look at the history so far, yes. But those who lead the war are fundamentalists. Even the Elyos would condone it if they wanted to.”
“Sounds like they’re real?”
“Wouldn’t that be inevitable in a war situation?”
He frowned.
It was clear that if the ‘Primeval War’ broke out in Guju, it would go according to Gwangmyeongjincheon’s will.
‘damn! Gwangmyeongjincheon is finally hitting the candles.’
I thought it would be over if I stopped drinking.
However, the scale of the war grows out of hand, and at last, even Gwangmyeongjincheon is coveting the Astronomical Gate.
He had to open the gate of heaven and return to Gangho as soon as possible, but he was caught in the wrong place.
***
Oblivion.
After the meeting, Yeonjeokha moved to oblivion with a confused mind.
I’m going to see the state of heartache.
Okcheong’s labor union, which had been rushing out at the slightest pretense of being popular, was vacant, and oblivion was silent.
Entering the heartache room, he dragged a chair and placed it next to the bed and sat down.
“oh my! this old man I told you not to be greedy He didn’t listen to me, and he looked really good. But where did you get that precious gemstone? Could it be that it wasn’t stolen? Hagiya, how did you steal the spirit stone? It’s fortunate that he didn’t die after that.”
Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been talking to himself in the air, tilted his head.
To become the owner of the spirit stone, you are at least a gentleman.
As a true man, even if you die and wake up, you cannot steal the Arcanum from you.
That means someone gave it to him.
Who gave the Arcanum to Shen Tong?
First of all, it is not a thunderbolt.
Shen Tong came from the Tianlui sect, but he had no contact with anyone except his teacher, the Yucheng union.
It’s not even heaven and earth.
The Cheonji sect is far from the spirit stone because there are no honorable men and nobles.
What remains is the Taesangjong, but they have a more heartbreaking and estranged relationship than the Cheonroejong.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think there’s anyone in the temple that can give an Arcanum.’
Still, if I had to choose one person, I would be suspicious of the grain production union.
He is the top manager of Cheonjijong, so even though he is a union member, he has access to Yeongseok.
‘Did the Gok union present the Arcanum as a bribe?’
However, he said he did not know the source of the Arcanum in Heartache’s hand.
There was no lie in those words.
Excluding the most dubious songbunjo union, there is only one thing left.
The words of Medina Isaela who had drunk suddenly came to mind.
-Be careful with Gwangmyeongjincheon. If Macheon is a revealed sword, Elyos are a hidden arrow.
Gwangmyeong Jincheon would have known that there was a serious problem with the aura of heartache.
Is it really the work of Gwangmyeong Jincheon?
As he recalled the series of events that followed, such as the fruit of the ‘Tree of Life’ and the cost of participating in the astronomical exchange war, his doubt gradually turned to certainty.
I heard that the fundamentalism of the Elyos is extreme, but I never thought they would do something like this casually.
