Eve of the End (2)
When we heard from Baekun Seongsa that Taesan Shangje had escaped the clutches of light, we all prepared for destruction.
Ten days have passed since then.
Baekokru, the peak of Gwanghancheonsan Mountain.
The venerable ones of the world of light were gathered in front of him and waiting.
Phaaaat!
A light came down from the sky and illuminated Baekokru.
The beings that governed the light gave a revelation to Baekun.
How long have I been waiting in front of it?
Phew!
The light dimmed, and the sound of white clouds flowed from within.
[Listen.]
Pfft!
In an instant, we were back inside Baekokru.
“Your Majesty, what on earth is going on? Is the end of the Sun, Moon and Heaven coming?”
I felt a cold sweat run down my face as I recalled the nightmare that Taesan Sangje had caused at that time.
And Baekwoon shook his head.
[No. I just received a revelation. The current vicious spirit… is said to be in the distant Shangbi Heavenly Realm, waging war against its master. Not only that, but it seems like he is also planning to wage war against the masters of other heavenly realms.]
“…!”
‘What on earth are you doing? Taesan…!’
I continued asking questions, my tongue sticking out at his astonishing behavior.
“Then what happens to us?”
[My spirits have given me a revelation… That vicious spirit will only be able to reach the Ilwolcheonyeok after the war with the lords of the other heavenly realms has ended. And the lords of the heavenly realms are by no means easy beings… They predicted that it would probably take tens of thousands of years.]
“…tens of thousands of years…”
So, for now, all that’s left for us is a natural end.
It didn’t seem like a sudden end due to the Taesan Mountain Festival.
That was when.
As soon as that fact came out of Baekwoon’s mouth, the whole world seemed to rumble.
At the same time, shadows that were not even there flew into the air and disappeared.
“This…”
I clicked my tongue as I noticed the vibrations and shadows that shook the world.
‘The saints. The true ones. Or beings of a similar nature… Were they hiding here to hear the information Baekwoon received from the light? And this vibration just now…’
[…The heavy borders are colliding.]
Baekwoon clicked his tongue and looked somewhere beyond the light limit as if he felt sorry.
[The Blood Sound System is moving, and is hitting the True Demon System with all its might. It seems like it is trying to force its way through the True Demon System. The consonants are desperately fighting a defensive battle against the Blood Sound System…]
As soon as we heard the news, we all expressed our condolences to Jaum.
“You said that right in front of Hyeol-eum…”
“As far as I know, the Holy Spirit of the True Demon Realm was originally a subordinate of the Blood Evil Realm…”
“Now that I look at it, it wasn’t just a weed, it was a powder. But it was so independent from the main body that it even said those words to the main body…”
“What a pitiful man. I guess he blurted out everything because he knew the world would end… but I didn’t think it would end.”
The venerable ones clicked their tongues and expressed their condolences to the poor soul, and I also clicked my tongue inwardly.
‘I wasn’t careful. No, maybe I was just unlucky. If you knew the nature of Taishan, you wouldn’t have thought it was strange if the world were to end right away. But who would have thought it wouldn’t? Since it’s the pinnacle of truth and goodness, it can even distort the heavens, and the future is unknown… Tsk.’
The powder had other thoughts about the main body.
That is not just a different mind, it is a rebellious mind.
The problem wasn’t simply that he was spewing out rage at her in front of her blood.
‘Perhaps, to Bloody Yin, the consonants were agents and entities that represented his will, but he probably had no idea that they harbored such rebellious intentions. But now that he knows, he must be opening the True Demon Realm to retrieve the entities and retrieve the consonants.’
To be honest, I still had a bit of a fear of bloodshed.
Although he was fatally wounded by the Sword Master, he was still a true warrior.
I was afraid because I didn’t know when it would come down and catch me again.
As a result of learning that there is a ‘prophecy’ that the Jinseons use in the state of a slaughterhouse…
I have come to realize that I still haven’t gotten over the prophecy of the blood yin.
‘The prophecy of the blood that we will meet again has not been broken yet.’
No, to be exact, the prophecy of the blood sound was not that ‘we will meet again in 100 years’.
The results of reading and analyzing the weather while in the dry season.
The fate he gave me was that ‘we will meet again within 100 years and suffer death at the hands of Blood.’
One part of the destiny of ‘reunion within 100 years’ has been realized.
However, the part about ‘I will suffer death from Bloody Evil’ has not yet come true, and as long as I cannot escape that prophecy, there is still a chance that Bloody Evil will chase me.
‘I originally wanted to get help from Kang Min-hee, but Kang Min-hee is currently going through the Sungban-ki promotion ceremony, so I won’t be able to get that kind of help.’
Because of this, he was trapped in the constellation for a while and tried to hide for thousands of years.
however…
‘For a while, I can relax about blood yin.’
I’ll probably just focus on him until I get the Jinma-Kye Holy Spirit consonant back.
I breathed a sigh of relief and tried to release the dream castle I had kept in this space into the middle realm.
For the residents of Mongunseong, living in a world without limits was a huge benefit.
However, Baekwoon’s voice rang in my ears.
[Seo Eun-hyeon. I will return you and the star you brought back to your original place in the constellation.]
“Yes? Why?”
[There are three reasons. The first is that ‘too many destinies have flowed.’]

Her explanation continued.
[As a saint of the Middle Realm, I need to adjust the manpower and environment of the Middle Realm. If so many beings suddenly pour in at once, there will be too much manpower to adjust for the entire Middle Realm. It wouldn’t matter in normal times, but now that I have a lot to do in preparation for the apocalypse that will come in ten thousand years, I don’t have the luxury of adjusting such manpower.]
“Hmm…”
Gugugugugu!
The dimension of light opened up, and a passage leading to the constellation appeared before my eyes.
Baekun told me to bring back the dream world and go to the lower world.
[Second. The middle boundary is the middle boundary, but the fact that you took a star from the constellation is also a problem. There is no problem right now, but because you took a star that is connected to the constellation vein, the stars in the entire constellation will shake. Of course, from a macroscopic perspective, that level of shaking will have no effect on the universe. Honestly, I don’t think that level of shaking is a problem either. However…]
Her subsequent words made me realize how urgent the situation was, but how big a problem it was to arbitrarily adjust the stars.
[The tiny vibrations that follow the veins are a tremendous disaster for ordinary living beings. It may seem like a slight shaking by our standards, but for living beings who are not born with the veins, it must feel like a disaster is hitting the entire universe. Minor earthquakes and tsunamis will occur on every star, and countless living beings will die. Of course, such facts do not matter to me… But you seem to be a nosy person even among the venerable ones, so I am telling you in advance so that you do not get caught up in your evil thoughts.]
“…! If that’s the case… then if I put the star back into its orbit, will the disaster be prevented?”
[Of course. If you return that star to the constellation, the constellations will reconnect and absorb the subtle vibrations again. Of course, the surface of that star will be turned upside down… but you can protect the living from that.]
“Thank you for your advice. By the way… if manipulating a star affects the entire universe’s constellation vein, would it be okay for the Venerables to destroy the star, or rise to the light limit?”
[The Venerables are fine. Even if they ascend to the middle realm, they can ascend while maintaining their star veins. And the stars you destroy do not disappear completely as soon as they are destroyed. Only the star veins remain weakly, so they slowly disappear without interfering with the movement of the universe.]
“Thank you for your advice. However, if you wanted to convince me, you could have just given me one of the above pieces of advice, but you insisted on saying ‘three’… I guess all three are important. What’s the third?”
Woohoo!
I asked, feeling the light limit gradually pushing me towards the constellation.
Partsch!
A projection of white clouds appeared before my eyes.
She looked back and forth between me, who was being pushed away, and the dreaminess gradually emerging from this space.
The dreaminess was gradually growing in a compressed state, and she gently stroked it as if stroking it.
[… The last one is for the juniors who are doing the Seongban-gi promotion ceremony. The Seongban-gi promotion ceremony is not performed near the same Seongban-gi, if possible. This is because if the ceremony is performed in a place where the same Seongban-gi investigator’s manpower is affected, both parties will definitely be affected. This child’s mind will be affected by me. My mind will be affected by this child’s mind.]
Baekwoon took his hand away from Mongwoonseong and continued speaking.
[…This three thousand great thousand worlds. The whole world, which is called ‘Sumisan (須彌山)’ by the venerables above the true and good, is divided into two major forces. The ‘light’ that symbolizes life, and the ‘underworld’ that symbolizes death. There are other forces, but they are all minor forces. As you know, I am the saint of light, one axis of the two great forces.]
“Aren’t you a saint?”
[Call me either way. To be honest, there are a lot of Jangmok tribe members who originally had no distinction between male and female, and for the Venerables, the distinction between male and female is almost meaningless. Anyway. I am a being who believes in the forces of light. And… it seems like the child who is currently undergoing the promotion ceremony is receiving direct support from the underworld.]
“…That’s right.”
[That’s why I’m helping.]
“…Aren’t the two forces rivals? Is it okay to help them?”
Baekwoon nodded.
[I don’t know what the higher-ups think… but that’s what I think. Life and death can’t be considered a simple competition. It’s a relationship where we need each other. Even if the higher-ups are in conflict, and the aftermath of that may reach us, and we may end up fighting someday. Until then, I think we can give and take in each other’s relationship. Because we need each other.]
She said that and sent me and Kang Min-hee back to our original location.
‘Because we need each other…’
A relationship where they are opposing entities but necessary to each other.
I realized that there was a certain dizziness in those words.
“No, Master. Come with me…”
Hong Beom, who had been unable to keep up with me while I was flying to the outskirts of the star system, appeared grumbling a little. I apologized to Hong Beom and returned Mongunseong to its original orbit.
“…Okay, I understand. Anyway, Master.”
“Um, what is it?”
“I have completed the interpretation of the overall structure of the Pure Mantra and the flow of power it possesses. I am sure that you too, Master, will be able to learn it roughly.”
“Ah…! Thank you!”
I received the teachings and training method of the Mugyeol Mantra from Hong Beom.
However, after seeing the cultivation method, I was so shocked that I could not dare to practice it.
‘The best training method is… reincarnating ‘at least’ 666 times, and living your entire life while doing a handstand 666 times, reciting the mantra.’
The first time I heard mention of the Invincible Mantra was from Yu-oh’s explanation of the existence called ‘Heukyo’.
And it was said that Heukyo also trained in this way through 777 reincarnations.
‘I guess what Kang Min-hee is doing now is abbreviated training.’
In any case, it was clear that practicing this mantra meant living upside down almost all day long.
I have been pondering over the past hundred years, growing the seeds of the axis at the top of the main body and training the incarnate body to reach the level of the Great Axis.
‘Should I try training? Formal training is almost impossible right now, so I’ll try informal training…’
Woof!
I made the incarnation body turn upside down on top of my main body and had it recite the Pure Mantra.
There was no effect for the first year.
But as time passed, the Mantra of Innocent Truth gradually began to shake the external force of attraction.
‘What is this…?’
The more I practiced the Mugyeol Mantra, the more I felt that it was like a ‘perfect fit’ for me.
‘Of all the ones I’ve learned so far… this is easier to learn than magic skills like the Ho-pung-eung-ryong-byeon or the Dae-mak-sa-hae-seong…!’
It’s a mantra that seems to have been prepared just for me.
I continued to repeat the Mantra of Infinity and fell into the state of Infinity without any self.
I repeated the Pure Mantra over and over again, feeling as if I was falling into a warm darkness like my mother’s womb.
One day, something strange happened.
I repeated the Mantra of Infinity and looked into the vast, boundless darkness.
I looked into the darkness and wondered.
‘Is this… the source of the power of the Infinite Mantra…?’
And then the darkness answered.
It is true.
‘comfy…’
Come over.
This will make you feel even warmer and more comfortable.
‘Is this… the true training method of the Infinite Mantra? Crossing into this darkness in the end…?’
That’s right.
A training method only for you disciples.
Drawing a circle is a practice only for ordinary people, so just surrender your mind to this darkness.
‘Is it… okay… not to draw a circle… that… scary… circle…?’
I felt my mind sinking into darkness.
okay.
Drawing a circle is such a difficult task.
Think of that horrible, sacred, ominous circle.
How hard it is.
Let’s just relax and leave everything to the darkness…
I sank into the darkness, completely losing consciousness.
…
…
……
‘The repairs will be completed soon.’
And for some reason, I kept repeating that sentence.
‘Tiny grains of salt gather together…’
The mantra of dharma destruction is stirring within me.
At the same time, my eyes opened wide.
[…iced coffee…]
How many years have I been practicing mantras without any selfishness?
‘Right.’
I read history with a sense of contentment, calculating how many years had passed.
In the meantime, eight thousand years have passed since Jeon Myeong-hun was captured.
During that period, I was practicing the Pure Mantra in a state of emptiness.
Around me, while practicing the Pure Mantra, there were floating Ucheon Daeseong, Jecheon Daeseong, Mongcheon Daeseong, Yeokcheon Daeseong, and Geukcheon Daeseong that I had unconsciously created.
It had reached the end of the mid-cycle of the smelting period.
‘Right…’
But more than anything else, I was overwhelmed with emotion at having learned the true meaning of the Mugyeol Mantra.
[Dharma-destroying mantra.]
Phaaaat!
The surrounding heavenly and earthly energy gathered together to form the five elements of yin and yang, forming a single dot in front of me.
A single point of light became pure white and illuminated the space.
[Innocent Mantra.]
At the same time, the force of gravity swayed, drawing a circle of darkness around that point.
Circle of darkness, point of light.
And it soon created a wheel.
‘this…’
Axle, and wheel.
It was a [perfect wheel] created by combining two things.
‘The starting point to save Kang Min-hee…!’
Eight thousand years.
After eight thousand years of selflessness, I finally succeeded in finding a clue to save Kang Min-hee.
