Episode 407
I couldn’t quite understand it.
The ritual vessel I destroyed was a sacred object of the Demonic Cult?
What kind of ghost-forgetting noise is this?
‘Wasn’t the sacred object an oracle bone hidden in the heart of the body made by Muyeongshintu?’
It didn’t take long for my confused mind to calm down.
One possibility crossed my mind.
‘no way.’
Stereotypes were truly scary.
Why did you assume there would be only one new object?
It felt like all my doubts were resolved at once.
[Didn’t I tell you? It is said that oracle bone inscriptions were used to tell fortunes and record them.]
[Divination and prognosis. Don’t you think there are many similarities?]
[You seem to think you have regressed, but I think differently. Perhaps you have the same precognitive abilities as me. It’s just that the quality of his abilities is so high that he can’t even be compared to me. Well, in the end, it may not be much different from regression.]
The words Hao Wen-ju said to me in the past flashed through my mind.
He assured me that I had the same precognitive abilities as him, but I thought differently.
I assure you that I was a regressor, not a prophet.
‘I was curious as to why everyone had different perceptions.’
The secret was revealed through the records left by reporter Cheon.
Hao Wenju and I were each given the power of different divine beings.
‘Perhaps there were not one, but two divine objects sleeping in the secret cave of Muyeong Shintu.’
The power of the divine being with the power of return is to me, and the power of the divine being with the power of wisdom is to Hao Wenju.
When I thought about it that way, the front and back fit together perfectly.
When the flag was torn to pieces in front of Ma Jyoju.
I remembered how the debris that fell to the ground weathered in an instant.
Perhaps the new object with the power of return also turned into dust and disappeared?
As a result, only the oracle bone, which contained the power of foresight, remained, throwing me and Hao Wenju into confusion.
‘I thought it was somehow strange.’
Even though he was the greatest thief in the central region and all, Muyeongsintu was ultimately a thief.
He was by no means the type of person to hang out with Reporter Cheon, a great figure in the political faction.
‘To put it in an analogy, it’s like a city government scammer and a government official getting together. Reporter Cheon must have been reluctant to join hands with Muyeongsintu, as his social position was important.’
Despite this, Gija Cheon helped him steal the sacred items of the Demonic Cult.
He didn’t stop there, he also helped create a secret storage area to hide the stolen items.
I was wondering why the two sides cooperated, but this has made it clear.
‘Muyeong Shintu promised to hand over one of the three sacred objects in return for cooperation, and Reporter Cheon accepted the offer. It would be natural to think that way.’
If Muyeong Shintu, who personally infiltrated Cheonmagung and stole the items, had two sacred items, and the other one was passed on to Reporter Cheon, then it would be understandable that the world’s best Jinbeopga and Daedo were co-fighting.
[Oracle bone?]
[Khahaha!]
[Right. So you’re saying you didn’t activate the divine object of your own will?]
I felt like I knew now.
Why did the religious leader who exchanged a few words with me in the middle of the Cheonnajimang react the way he did in the past?
The religious leader knew.
There is no connection between the power contained in the oracle bone and its return.
‘perhaps.’
The Demonic Cult’s invasion of Hubei may have been caused by me.
The religious leader must have felt confident through his conversation with me.
The sacred object hidden by Reporter Cheon will remain unused and unharmed.
[······Do you know what you have done?]
[I will never forget this wish.]
Everything was explained clearly.
The reason why the religious leader tried to occupy the ruins of Banghyeon (房縣) even by mobilizing a large army.
Because dispatching three absolute masters wasn’t enough, the reason he had Kang-su take the lead himself.
The reason why he glared at me with a look that seemed like he was going to eat me for destroying the flag.
‘Should I call this fortunate?’
I thought that the only way to solve the secret of return was to uncover the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Because the conditions were so daunting, I had buried them somewhere in my memory, but thanks to the records left by reporter Cheon, the trouble was saved.
Of course, there were still unanswered questions.
[Anyway, come back… I think I finally understand the identity of the sense of heterogeneity I’ve been feeling.]
[If I think about it now, the expression ‘foresight’ may be wrong. Rather than looking at the future based on the present, I am looking at the original history that has not been distorted by you and me.]
If the power of the divine being that resides in Hao Wen-ju is separate from mine, then why can’t he read the changed future?
No, before that, why was the power of wisdom passed on to him in this life and not in his previous life?
Is this the result of the powers of two gods manifesting at the same time and colliding?
Or is it that Muyeong Shintu has done some kind of manipulation?
Why me and Hao Wen-ju in the first place?
What on earth is the suitable person that Ma Gyoju spoke of?
[It’s not that surprising. If you think of it as a price to pay for obtaining a suitable person who has appeared for the first time in hundreds of years, it is nothing.]
[Should I really call him a suitable person? It hasn’t been long since he reached the absolute level, but he would have already pioneered his own path.]
Master Ma showed a strong interest in me, or more precisely, in the person who was suitable.

What more can I say, since he invited me to join the religion and presented conditions that would give me everything I wanted.
When I heard that Prince Cheonak (千岳君) and Danjeon (Laughing Demon Lord) could be destroyed and driven out, I felt not only obsession but even madness.
Is it simply that a person whose body has the power of a divine being is called a suitable person?
Although it was a plausible assumption, it was not enough to understand the attitude shown by the religious leader.
After waking up from my thoughts, I lowered my hand to rest my chin and asked.
“How long do you think it will take to finish interpreting everything?”
Sima Yun, who had been looking intently at the book, finally raised his head.
After savoring his appetite with regret, he closed the lid and answered.
“I think it will take at least two days.”
“In that case, I will leave the books to Sohyup for a while. “When you have finished interpreting, please tell me.”
“All right.”
For now, I had no choice but to hope that the book left by Reporter Cheon would provide a clue to resolve my doubts.
Reporter Cheon is a university student.
If he had a high sense of inquiry, he might have researched new objects and recorded the process.
* * *
I’m having a busy time with a backlog of work.
It wasn’t until the evening when the sun started to set that I was able to get out of my comfort zone and go out.
“I guess I’m a little late.”
“no. “Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule for me.”
I walked along the streets of Honam with Seo Ho-seon, who was waiting in front of the main gate.
Seo Ho-seon looked very nervous.
He looked exactly like a vanguard about to fight against the Eight Great Demon Army.
In each hand, there was a basket full of expensive fruits, and it was almost a burden for me to look at it.
I could have reached my destination quickly if I had launched a light attack, but I deliberately didn’t do that.
Because I knew that the current Seo Ho-seon needed time to mentally prepare.
After walking for a while, a small inn came into view.
There is also an image of an old couple sweeping the yard with a broom.
“Whoa.”
Seo Ho-seon took a deep breath and approached them.
I quietly watched it from behind.
“welcome!”
“Are you looking for accommodation? “There was just one empty room left.”
The old couple spoke with bright expressions.
It seemed like he had mistaken Seo Ho-seon for a guest.
“······.”
Seo Ho-seon hesitated for a long time, keeping his mouth shut.
That was inevitable, because the identity of the old couple was none other than Seo Ho-seon’s biological father and mother.
When the leaders of the Sacheon branch, including me, moved to the headquarters, the two were persuaded by an anonymous applicant to move to Honam.
[Boss.]
[Please speak.]
[There is one thing I would like to ask of you.]
[······?]
[When I return to Honam, I plan to visit my parents, reveal that I am their child, and tell them everything that has happened.]
[Have you finally made up your mind?]
[yes.]
[So, how can I help you?]
[Please come together. I would like to introduce the manager to my parents and tell them that he is the person I serve.]
[That’s a good excuse too. Isn’t it just scary to go there alone?]
[I will not deny it.]
Seo Ho-seon, who had been secretly watching from afar, finally mustered up the courage to stand in front of his parents.
For Seo Ho-seon, his parents were a sore finger and an obstacle.
A family that was kidnapped and separated by a murderer when they were young.
He was reluctant to show himself in front of his parents due to a long history of blood on his hands, but he seemed to have had a change of heart recently.
“······I didn’t come here because I needed accommodation.”
Seo Ho-seon finally spoke.
The suppressed voice was filled with overflowing emotions.
The fruit basket in both hands looked as heavy as a thousand pounds of stone.
Did you feel an unusual atmosphere?
The old couple stepped back, showing caution.
It was a completely natural reaction.
To the general public, martial people with swords are an object of fear.
“My name is Seo Ho-seon.”
“······!”
“I’m sorry for coming to see you so late. “I send my greetings to the parents who gave birth to an unfilial child.”
Humans were foolish creatures.
Because it is only when you lose that you realize the value of what you have.
Seo Ho-seon was also like me in the past.
The sadness of losing a colleague who had been with him for a long time became the driving force that allowed him to take another step forward.
The back of Seo Ho-seon, who lowered his head as if he couldn’t stand the gaze, looked as pitiful as a puppy getting caught in the rain.
The fear he was feeling was conveyed through his skin.
The father, with his expression as hard as a stone, carefully approached Seo Ho-seon.
The wife quickly grabbed her husband’s wrist and gently shook her head.
At first glance, it seemed like he didn’t completely believe what Seo Ho-seon said.
He had no choice but to do so.
If a child who disappeared decades ago suddenly came and revealed his identity, anyone would be confused.
‘I guess I should step forward at this point.’
I quietly watched the situation and slowly took steps.
It was my role to provide appropriate help in this situation.
When I approached the three people, I politely greeted them and introduced myself.
“My name is Yeon-woon, and I am the head of the Cheonangambu of the Murim League. “This is how I get to meet the warrior’s parents.”
“Woah, Yeonsun?”
“Are you really the Dragon King Daehyup?”
“They are called by that nickname. “I am also a sponsor who has supported both of them anonymously.”
There was astonishment on the old couple’s faces.
The two people look at Seo Ho-seon and me alternately with embarrassed faces.
I drew a line around my mouth and invited them to sit down on the flat table.
“It’s okay, even if it’s just for a little while. “Would you like to hear the story?”
