What he took out was an invitation.
Dokgo Jun smiled brightly and asked Seo Kang Rim.
“So, Seo Kang-rim, did you receive it too? Or did the first place winner receive something else?”
As Dokgo Jun said, Seo Kang-rim also had that invitation.
There were some differences in compensation, though.
Seo Kang-rim, who took first place, received 100,000 Yeong-ok and 50,000 points of public service. He also received an invitation to the new realm and the prize, ‘Red Ox Aldebaran’.
But more important than the spirit world or public service is the invitation to the new world.
The rewards for 1st to 12th place were slightly different, but the invitation was a common reward.
Everyone gathered here had placed in the rankings, so they were all holding invitations.
Yoon Bom asked Dokgo Jun.
“I received it too, but it only had the date written on it. Are we all going together?”
To Yoon Bom’s question, Dokgo Jun shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know.
“I guess I’ll have to go to find out. It doesn’t even say where I’m being invited.”

[Item] New Station Invitation
[Rank] Shinsampum (God’s Three Grades)
[Description] A reward for the Zodiac Race. An invitation from God. It is automatically activated when torn at the specified date and time.
═══════════════
There wasn’t much time left until the appointed time.
Seo Kang-rim silently looked down at the invitation in his hand.
‘I’m glad I won this time. At this point, the only way to get to the new realm is with this item.’
There were few opportunities for gods and humans to meet directly.
That was because the world of gods and humans were completely separated.
In the first place, if gods could freely come to the human world, they would not have gone out of their way to seek out Manshin to descend.
‘I don’t want to meet God, but I need God’s power.’
While Seo Kang-rim was lost in thought.
The clock was pointing to three o’clock.
Dokgo Jun jumped up from his seat and shouted excitedly.
“It’s time!”
The invitation, which had been an ordinary piece of paper just a moment ago, began to tremble faintly.
As a soft light began to swirl around and a strong magical power began to flow, Seo Kang-rim tore the invitation he was holding without hesitation.
[‘New Invitation’ is activated!]
[Move to the sacred area!]
The air changed in an instant with that notification message.
Before I knew it, he was no longer inside the building, but outside.
‘… …Is this the new station?’
In the previous life, Shin Soo-ah, Jang Tae-heon, and Kang Do-hyeon had described the scenery of the new world after visiting it.
It was said that it was like a paradise where gods lived.
As they described, a magnificent and splendid oriental-style building stood before our eyes.
Behind them, the huge mountains were covered in faint clouds, boasting a mysterious atmosphere.
As Seo Kang-rim was looking around, he heard a voice from next to him.
“Huh? It’s just Seo Kang-rim and me. Where did everyone else go?”
Before I knew it, Dokgo Jun was walking behind me.
As he said, the rest of the members were not visible.
While Dokgo Jun was looking around, a voice was heard from somewhere.
“You are invited guests. Welcome.”
Suddenly, a person was standing in front of them.
No, it would be a stretch to call him a person.
A rat as big as a puppy was standing on two feet like a person, wearing clothes.
Dokgo Jun looked at that and said as if he finally understood.
“I guess you were invited according to the zodiac this time too?”
The rat nodded at Dokgo Jun’s words.
“Yes, that’s right. It is a sacred place where the Rat God, one of the twelve zodiac signs, resides.”
By now, the other members would have gone to meet the god corresponding to their zodiac signs.
The rat twisted its body and said.
“I will guide you this way. Please follow me.”
As Seo Kang-rim followed the rat, Dokgo Jun also followed with an interested expression on his face.
He was sticking close to the rat and asking it many questions.
“Is this the new station? How is it different from the Demonic Realm?”
“This is literally the realm of the gods. It is very different from the realm of the devil. There is a realm of the devil between the divine realm and the real world.”
“Hmm. Then there are no demons here? What are you? Are you a god too?”
“I am a practicing spirit. As time goes by and my name becomes widely known, I too can become a god.”
The rat answered Dokgo Jun’s questions one by one as if it wasn’t bothered at all.
As we entered the reception room inside the building, the rat bowed politely and said.
“Please wait here and I will come calling you shortly.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Dokgo Jun said that and entered the house with light steps as if it were his own home.

A luxurious oriental-style room, just like something out of a historical drama.
Dokgo Jun said, plopping down on his seat.
“I thought it would be incredibly special since it was a new realm, but it seems more ordinary than the Demon Realm. Right?”
Seo Kang-rim did not answer that question.
Just quietly observing the surroundings.
Dokgo Jun rested his chin on his hand and spoke again.
“Seogangrim, seeing as you even bought a building this time, I guess you really don’t plan on joining the sect I created.”
“You are saying something obvious.”
“Then should I go to your sect? What’s the name of your sect?”
Dokgo Jun was talking nonsense without paying attention to what Seo Kang Rim said.
At that time, Seo Kang-rim was ignoring Dokgo Jun’s words.
-bang!
Dokgo Jun’s words were cut off as the door opened violently.
And at the same time, Seo Kang-rim and Dokgo Jun stood up from their seats and took a guard stance.
That was understandable, because I could sense an unusual energy from the person who came inside.
A feeling of pressure that would make a normal person faint.
If the person who came in didn’t have any malice or malicious intent, then there’s no way to know what would have happened.
‘This energy… … is neither demonic nor human.’
The person who came inside had long, blue-tinged hair flowing down in a mess.
The magical power overflowing from the opponent was as sharp as if it had been refined for a long time, and was as terrifying as a tidal wave.
The other person smiled brightly at Seo Kang-rim.
“Ah, Seo Kang-rim. You’re here.”
The woman spoke to Seo Kang-rim warmly, as if she knew him well.
It was a face that Seo Kang-rim did not recognize.
Then the rats came running late and I didn’t know what to do.
“Your Majesty the Dragon Blood King! T, this is not right! Even if you are a god, how can you trespass like this!”
Looking at the situation, it seemed like he wasn’t the god of rats.
The god called Dragon Blood King entered and took his place despite the rats’ protests.
Seo Kang-rim looked at her and asked.
“… … Are you God?”
“Yes. He is the dragon god, one of the twelve zodiac signs.”
Only then could I understand the source of the magical power flowing from her.
The rats spoke to the Dragon King in a panic.
“Hasn’t there been anyone in the dragon’s realm just now? You should go back and see!”
“Oh, I came, but I was told to wait. I felt like I wouldn’t be able to meet Seo Kang-rim if I didn’t do it now, so I came even if it meant forcing myself.”
“Do you have any business with me?”
When Seo Kang-rim asked, the Dragon Blood King quietly looked at his face and smiled.
“Yes. I came because of Kangcheol.”
When it comes to steel, it seems like he’s talking about the viper’s room.
The Dragon Blood King spoke to Seo Kang Rim.
“Thanks to you, a new dragon was born after a long time. That’s why I wanted to meet you. I liked you during the Zodiac Race too. I wish you had been born a few years later… … .”
It was quite unfortunate that Seo Kang-rim was not born in the year of the dragon.
Then the Dragon Blood King smiled and said.
“Well, let’s get to the point first. Can you summon your dragon?”
Seo Kang-rim quietly tried to summon Yo-rong-i from the spirit world.
Then, only sparks appeared, but Yo-rong-i was not summoned.
[Uninvited guests are not permitted to enter.]
Perhaps because it was a new realm, the barrier seemed to be quite tightly closed.
The Dragon Blood King laughed heartily after seeing the sparks rising from the air.
“Oh, the summoning doesn’t work. It’s okay, it’s okay. I saw it on the screen during the Zodiac Race.”
“It’s quite different from how it was back then. It’s because it’s still a toddler.”
After the twelve zodiac race ended, when I called Yo-rong back, he was still small.
The Dragon Blood King nodded as if he understood.
“Because it takes a long time for a dragon to grow. By the way, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a red and black dragon. It’s a rare species.”
The Dragon Blood King had a proud, parental smile on his face for some unknown reason.
Also, the gaze directed at Seo Kang-rim was quite generous.
For him, who had a grudge against God, that gaze was not entirely pleasant.
“So, why did you come to me? Did you want to see the dragon?”
“Well, that’s true, but… … I came here because I have a proposal for you.”
proposal?
It was something Seo Kang-rim had never thought of.
The Dragon Blood King smiled brightly.
“As I said, I’ve been having a hard time because no dragons have been born for a long time. So, do you have any plans to raise your red and black dragon any more?”
“Are you thinking of taking her with you?”
“No, that’s not true. It would be good for me if you, who has a dragon, were to be active, so it would be better for you to take it with you.”
The Dragon Blood King’s proposal was unexpected, but to Seo Kang Rim, it was a good proposal.
Even during the Twelfth Zodiac Race, Yo-rong received a lot of help just by growing a little.
“My Mansin didn’t do well in the Twelve Zodiac Race, but thanks to you, my popularity has risen considerably. So, for now, let’s go to the new realm where I am… … .”
-bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened roughly again.
The one who ran inside was a young man, and judging from his attire, he seemed to be of quite noble status.
He shouted at the Dragon Blood King.
“Where the hell am I now? How dare you invade me?!”
“Ah, King Seopae. I stopped by because I wanted to see your face for a moment… … .”
“These are the humans who came as my guests. If you don’t get out right now, I will show you my true colors!”
As the god began to breathe life into the air, it seemed as if the air all around had turned into needles.
In the stinging air, Seo Kang-rim felt the pain of his insides burning.
A feeling of oppression that makes your whole body feel like it’s going to explode.
However, Seo Kang-rim did not kneel and endured the pressure.
The Dragon Blood King glanced at Seo Kang-rim.
‘This guy… … is amazing. If the King of the West is spewing out this much murderous intent, he should have fainted long ago, but he’s holding on?’
