Chapter 862 – 853 Emperor Hwanin’s Labyrinth
… Hwanin, who left the ‘galae’, felt that several hours had passed, but in reality, he realized that less than 10 seconds had passed.
And… Five beings that transcend cognition.
‘They must be the five gods of Nionebres.’
Each feature is so distinct that it is impossible to notice. Although it was only for a moment, I traced back to the roots of the cosmic tree and caught a glimpse of some of the memories, so I also learned the names of the natural gods and personal gods.
A blue dragon whose length could wrap around a planet, the water god Amin = Ra.
A planet-sized firebird burning like the sun, the sky god Quirasthet.
Langdran, the land god, a turtle that looks like it can carry a planet on its back.
Emrigan, the beast god, a white ferocious beast that looks like it could chew up a planet and swallow it.
A yellow dragon wrapped in a veil of benevolent light that seems capable of embracing all living things in this world. Loving God, Janong.
And the space tree that supports those gods.
‘It’s dangerous…’
With a premonition rising inside him, Hwanin whined and returned to his lovers. And he apologized to Baek Ryogang.
“Sorry. I won’t be able to gather the notes for you here. “I will help you when I return to Earth.”
=Yes… ? Oh, no! Because I’m fine…=
Hwanin comforted the head of Baekryeo, who was a bit embarrassed and was wiggling his fingers, and gently touched its cute single horn. Then, he turned his head and looked at the four sisters, Yua and Ryuhi, who had their mouths wide open.
This is the first time Hwanin and his group have seen the dimension mirror and the galae. It must be a bit surprising for Yua and Ryuhi sisters.
After thinking for a moment, I nodded and called Yua and the Ryuhi sisters.
“Infant. I’m going to give you some homework. You can think of it as my responsibility for inheriting my father’s holy relics.”
=… Yes!=
Hwanin took out a large piece of paper from the Treasure’s coffin, drew a rough map of the Nionebres continent, and then traced back its roots and marked the locations of seven other dimensional planes he had seen.
“There will be a branch similar to that one where I marked it now. Any time is okay. “If it’s dangerous, and you feel like you’ll lose your life, you can give up.”
=… Are you asking me to visit all seven places?=
“Okay.”
Yua, who had been quietly looking at her map as Hwanin spoke, carefully folded it and placed it in the magic bag given to her by Yurpa. And with her bright eyes, she clenched her fists and made a promise.
=I will definitely visit them all! Because I’m my father’s son!=
“… Yes.”
Hwanin smiled softly at his son’s assurance.
Traveling without a goal is low motivation. Seeing the entire continent would be a sufficient goal for my son.
Whether it is a coincidence or a natural phenomenon, there are labyrinths that are all called secret or magical places near the eight places.
The valley of Yeomno, the evil mountain of Pungcheon, the altitude of Suwol, the abyss of low soil, the snowy mountain of Binglu, the hill of Noeumyeong, the old castle of darkness, the Dead Sea of Gwanggeuk.
Just confirming their existence without attacking them will be an experience that will help children overcome their limits.
Hwanin then looked back at the spirit creatures, whose energy had clearly become softer than before.
The spirits of owls, rabbits, red bears, leopards, and tigers look at him as if asking, ‘Do you have something to say?’
『Here, my son will begin his journey to travel around the world and find different directions.』
— …
『Would you like to join that journey?』
— Why?
When asked purely without knowing the reason, Hwanin smiled slightly and said.
『Do you know? I wonder if there is something I realize during my journey to find a path that will allow me to rise in rank and become a divine beast.』
— …
『I also gained godhood after a journey across the continent, so I don’t think it’s an entirely absurd story.』
The reactions of the spirits were diverse. A spirit that shows interest, a spirit that has no interest at all, a spirit that only shows curiosity, and a spirit that watches in silence.
Growling, roaring, booming—after some noisy conversation, the spirits began to disperse one by one.
All that remains is a white tiger, which Hwanin gave the tentative name of Blue Flame Tiger.
A white tiger spirit creature that stares intently at itself with eyes that emit blue demonic fire.
Hwanin realized why the white tiger remained.
The fact that the unremarkable creature that I encountered that day came back six years later as a god. That must have fueled Baekho’s curiosity and doubts.
What kind of world is it outside that something that seemed weaker than a pig-headed monster came to visit me as such a heavenly being?
If you travel outside, if you look at other directions, will you be able to grow like the divine beast behind that celestial being?
But I have no intention of going along with something weak and pathetic. If you want to take me out of this forest, show your mettle!
Flowing—!!
Yua felt tingling and tingling all over her body as she heard the blue-flame white tiger’s roar mixed with its spirit.
That spirit and fighting spirit greatly fueled Yua’s pride.
As a son of a father who has become a god, I am determined not to show any disgrace or disgrace.
Even if you don’t communicate with the other person in language, sometimes you can tell what the other person is trying to do just by looking at them and roaring.
Yua was stopped by Hwanin while trying to take off the life shield on his arm to ensure a fair match.
“Yua, you are clearly the weakling now. “You’ll need that to show off all your skills.”
=… However, I don’t think I can show my true feelings if I have this.=
“…”
=If, as my father’s son, I cannot overcome this ordeal… I won’t be able to go up to where my dad is. So, I’m going to take off my clothes and fight that awesome tiger. =
… Hwanin smiled slightly, ruffled Yua’s hair until it was curled into a ponytail, then handed her the life shield and walked away.
Naturally, the Ryuhi sisters were very worried. Despite Hwanin’s assurances, he took off the life shield, which was no different from a lifeline… !
But I can’t go out. Now that he has made his decision, the women themselves can only watch, restless.
Yua felt something unspeakable filling up in her heart and she woo-woo —… She let out a long breath. And with her eyes full of determination, free from any stray thoughts or thoughts, she tightened her grip on her iron bars.
=…=
…
No need to say anything. A boy and a white tiger jumped at each other with all their might.
=Yuaya… ! Can you hear mom?!=
=Ugh… %^$@^%$&…=
= Oh my. She got messed up. Still, she’s not mortally wounded. There will be some marks left, but… For a man, a scar on his face is like a medal. =
=But, Ayoung, your benefactor doesn’t have a single wound on your body… !=
=No, hey. You have to compare yourself with the person you want to compare with!=
While Ayoung was bewildered by her tearful Ryuhi, Baekho was lying down like a cat and patting the small wound on her front paw.
She didn’t intend to kill him, but she didn’t intend to let him either.
Even though it swung its front paws with enough force to break bones and burst flesh with each blow, the small creature used strange techniques to dodge and block, reducing the injuries it received to a minimum. In the end, it swung its front paws with enough force to cause blood to form on its front paws. It hurt.
In return, I got hit so hard that I was knocked out, but whatever.
Considering the difference in abilities between Yua, who was just a level 3 professional, and Baekho, who was ranked at the top of the spiritual world, it was like a miracle.
“Have you made up your mind?”
… Flow…
“… The toddler is my son. “If you stay carefree, you will be overtaken by Yoo Ah.”
… Hrung.
Baekho turned his head like an innocent girl, then quickly got up and walked towards YooA, who was lying unconscious.
Then, it lifts its white front paw, which is larger than the infant’s head, and presses its chest.
Yua groaned under the pressure and opened her eyes and blinked as she saw Baekho looking down at her with a blurry gaze.
=Uh… I’m coming with you… ?=
The white tiger passes by Yua without answering, but its tail with a blue pattern on a white background bounces gently like a whip.
Hwanin smiled faintly without saying a word as he watched Yua running towards the blue-and-white tiger with a bright expression.
With this, I have achieved the purpose of coming here…
Hwanin raised his head and looked around him.
Hwanyeon, Yurpa, Jihyul, and Adneville are looking out of curiosity at the white giant tree-like branch from a little distance away.
Norn looks around the forest, which is all black, looking a little familiar, and Silu follows Norn around like her older sister.
The lovers share their stories with the Ryuhi sisters.
Hwanin, who was looking at his women, finally caught his eye on the roots of the cosmic tree extending from the dimensional mirror.
There were still a few more days left in the grace period that Jaae-shin had promised, but Hwanin felt that he could no longer stay in Nionebres.
Since she recognized her five masters, she would also recognize the other four, excluding lovingkindness.
If she stays longer, she might get caught up in something, so she has to leave now.
“Everyone, come here.”
Hwanin summoned his group except for the Ryuhi sisters. Then, he shakes his head, showing his palm to the Ryuhi sisters and their son Yua, who are trying to get closer.
=Ah…=
=Uh, um.=
Hwanin said with a gentle face as Yua and the Ryuhi sisters, who were left alone on the other side, looked confused.
“Ryuhi, Ephnis, Huini, Ennel. We are done here.”
=Benefactor…=
=Ah…=
“When I found out that you were all safe and well, I was honestly relieved and my heart warmed. Because you were women who meant something special to me in this world.”
Hearing Hwanin’s kind voice, tears well up from the eyes of Ryuhi and her sisters.
Even though she had put her mind in order while coming here from Yulkam, it seems like her heart is breaking as she tries to accept eternal separation.
Hwanin also smiled bitterly at their tears. If she hadn’t suffered from mental illness, many things would have been different.
At the time, the Ryuhi sisters’ wish was to take them with them because they would be good as maids or servants.
If she had been an ordinary person, she would have gone on her way with them, unable to overcome their pleas and pleas. And as you can see, they would have awakened into warriors, mystics, and magicians.
But that’s just a case of ‘what if’, something that didn’t happen.
Women who cry in pain over a breakup, and other women who feel sorry for such women and cannot open their mouths.
And the man who causes separation.
In a situation where no one present could speak or continue, it was Hwanin’s son, Yua, who opened his mouth.
The toddler said while holding the hands of his mother and aunts.
=Mom, aunts. Don’t cry. Dad is gone, but I am there in his stead. =
As he said that, Yua grinned mischievously and shouted brightly at Hwanin with a faint scar on his cheek.
=Dad! And big moms! I will take responsibility for your mom and aunts, so don’t worry and go! =
Hwanin couldn’t help but laugh at that innocent look. Isn’t he just a five-year-old kid who was deceived on the outside?
Hwanin, who was laughing softly, could not suppress his feelings and hugged his son and patted his back.
The Ryuhi sisters, who were shedding tears, also hugged each of them until their backs broke.
“The spirit will tell you the way back. The moment you leave the forest is the moment a new life begins… I hope that your future will be filled with endless glory.”
=Benefactor… !=
=Black…=
“… “Goodbye.”
Hwan-in, who looked at the sobbing sisters for a moment with a face filled with many emotions, patted his son’s head one last time and returned to his lovers…
“Whoa.”
He closed his eyes.
This is why he did not want to see his sons and daughters for a long time.
We already know how to return permanently. Just run it. But hesitation holds you back.
“…”
In addition to them, the faces of countless people with whom he had relationships in this world pass by Hwanin’s retina.
It would be a lie if I said I have no regrets. However, the rest of his life will continue on Earth, not here.
With a small sigh, Hwanin shook off his hesitation and regrets and began to unleash a vast amount of deep core power, a power that made even Adneville, who had lived as a divine beast for thousands of years, widen his eyes in astonishment.
Then, he devises a formula according to his procedures and system, and squeezes out his core strength like weaving cloth to wrap his precious women warmly.
As the ceremony progressed, the light became stronger and began to cover the group, including Hwanin.
‘Now really… ‘I’m going back.’
And when the golden light filled the forest that would later be called ‘the labyrinth of King Hwanin somewhere.’
Hwanin’s party was erased from Nionebres without a trace.
Never to be seen again in the future.
Forever.
=… Phew.=
The blinding light in her eyes disappeared and Yua opened her eyes and scratched the goosebumps on her arms.
It was such a strong wave of force that it was like this even though it was only briefly wedged.
=…=
=…=
And then she shouted to her mother and aunts who were looking at the place where her father’s group was.
=Mom! Aunt F! Aunt Huni! Aunt Ennel! Let’s go back now!=
=… Hey, don’t you have any feelings? If you broke up with your dad, you should be a little sad! =
After her eyes turned red, Ini glared at her little nephew, and the little guy smiled naturally.
=Aunt Huni too. Her mom and aunts love her dad, and her dad loves her mom and aunts, too. Even though you are far away, your heart will not change, and there is evidence of love, but if you just grieve, it will be a waste of time and heart. =
=… This little thing has already become more eloquent. =
Huini sighed deeply.
Just a moment ago, she felt like her eyes were burning, but after hearing what this little guy said, she felt like it was just that, and she slowly raised her head.
This seems to be the same for her older sisters, who smile wryly or laugh and wipe away their tears with a handkerchief.
=Now we go too. The first priority is to get out of here safely, so be prepared! =
=Okay, okay.=
=Baekho, please take care of me in the future.=
Hrung.
Yua enthusiastically starts walking ahead with the white tiger. Her sisters, who seemed to have been influenced by her motivation, walked after Yua and looked back at her for the last time.
=…=
A magical white tree that now appears as small as a finger.
A place that gave her the gift of a relationship that changed her life 180 degrees.
Ryuhi felt many emotions that she couldn’t express in words, then slightly lowered her head and followed Yua who was ahead.
**
**
That day, a very small number of people who continued their daily lives in Nionebres were working, sleeping, eating, studying, or training according to the advice left by their father without realizing it, then raised their heads and looked around at the ceiling, sky, forest, and sea at the same time. I saw it.
=… ?=
=… ?=
However, most people did not realize that it was a bit of emptiness created by the disappearance of someone who had a huge presence in this world.
“He’s finally gone… How will this world work in the future? …》
The only one who noticed, the girl who I thought would be like this if she were to embody her golden color, showed a little fear as she carefully touched her belly, where her little life was.
With his disappearance, Nionebres’ future also became unclear.
Perhaps no one in this world can see the future except God.
I feel anxious. What will this world be like in the future? Will the coming disaster be resolved in the hands of His children?
=… Daeseongnyeo. According to the report posted by Yulkam’s representative this time, it is a fact that there are true descendants of Emperor Yeong in that village. Wouldn’t it be better to release someone and take Hwan Yu-ah, his mother, and aunts to Yeongdo? =
In response to the earnest appeal of the silver-haired dragon girl from the Lin tribe who seemed to flutter in the breeze, the great saintess, Ninsil = Ana, shook her head slightly.
《If you look at the arrangements He left behind in Praber and Helumen, infants are one of those arrangements. We just watch. As he did, so will his children…》
And himself…
Ninsil laid down her small body on her silk needle, shaking off the worries and worries that were filling her mind.
Her excessive worry is not good for the baby or the mother’s body.
‘We should spread our eyes and ears around the world… Don’t miss any signs…’
And she had to make another preparation by passing on everything about herself to this unborn child…
=…=
Shathra looked at the great saintess, who was fast asleep and breathing evenly, with both pity and envy, and carefully pulled up the blanket and covered her.
Then he sat down in front of the table at her feet, picked up her brush, and quietly began to write down her words.
To ease the worries of those I love and respect.
————————————————————
『Huh, that bastard. You were quick to notice.』
『…』
『Giggle kick. This is really fun. It’s fun.』
『….』
『By the way, why are you wearing such bamboo hats again?』
『I guess I wasn’t happy with my decision.』
『… How can you like it? He is a human who has even connected to the Tree of Sephira. She doesn’t catch a person like that and sends them to a place like a desert. Are you really thinking of purifying the world?』
『I’m sorry about that… But my decision will be the same even if the same thing happens again.』
『…』
『Anyway, you need to know that old knowledge. Why do you make such a fuss about something that is not within your jurisdiction?』
『How foolish… Quirastet and Langudran would have thought the same thing if they were here.』
『If you feel regretful, try stretching your hand here and there like Jamo did. Anyway, I… Did you say Earth? There seem to be quite a few things like mutations, so why not use them as the next example?』
『Emrigan. It’s just a probability that comes from having a lot of numbers. It is said that there are over 8 billion high intelligent life forms there.』
『There is no result without a reason. Once you try it, you’ll understand. Of course, the world he went to will be fixed…』
『Impossible.』
『… Huh? Why?』
『The cycle hasn’t arrived yet. Maybe it will never come.』
『Oh… Hmm… Hey, Jamo. Is this your trick too?』
“No. Let’s say it was a happy mistake.』
『I’m telling you, right now it’s in the same state as a glass disk placed on top of a glass bead. If the balance is lost, it can become uncontrollable. Don’t even think about touching the underworld.』
『Is this okay as long as you don’t touch me? It’s too much.』
『I say this because no one but you touch the lower world.』
As the consciousness that spread the blue and clear energy in the space disappears, the consciousness that spreads the raw spirit of speculation disappears as well.
『…』
Finally, the ritual of sprinkling the remaining golden lovingkindness, Janong, the god of lovingkindness, began to quietly exist and keep an eye on what was left behind by the humans who were not special, but had become special.
A child who has just begun a long journey.
Will that child truly be able to attain the qualifications to ascend to the divine realm like his father?
Since her father was an alien from birth, she had little resources to mobilize, but she knew that if that child…
The world’s pseudo-space, into which only the five wills that support the world can enter, began to slowly sink into a gray that would last forever.
Waiting for the coming end of the world and a new birth.
