‘For now, I will put the owner of this body forward as a symbolic king, but his abilities are lacking. The third prince can fill that void.’
Judging from the evaluation, the third prince was a very saintly king and had outstanding abilities.
If he became regent, it would be helpful in many ways.
If you receive the divine possession and make it a god, you can control and discipline it through revelation.
“Oh, if the King of Earth and Bugs were to make me his lord, there would be no greater honor!”
The third prince urgently knelt down in front of Seo Kang-rim and bowed.
Seo Kang-rim looked at him quietly.
Now, the appearance of a believer who will serve himself in this world and spread his divine name far and wide.
The third prince would do a great job of playing the role of a believer.
Of course, that alone is not enough.
Seo Kang-rim looked around at the other princes and said.
“What about you guys?”
“I will give up the rest of my life if the King of Dirt and Bugs will take me!”
If all the princes were made into vassals, the possibility of rebellion would be reduced and recognition would be raised further.
Since there was no purpose to invest in them and grow them anyway, it didn’t matter if they created multiple Manshins.
Seo Kang-rim finished giving descents to the princes one by one.
“I will give you directions for the future. First, we will abolish slavery, and establish the King of the Dirt and Insects as the state religion.”
In addition, he instructed people to stop tyranny and focus on the people’s livelihood.
If you raise your profile through politics of fear, you will end up like the sky protecting paradise.
It would have been better to play the role of a merciful and good god.
That was the concept from the beginning.
“And let’s establish ties between the Soso Kingdom and the brother countries.”
Since the Soso Kingdom followed Shinsooah like a god, they had to keep her as well.
The new myth must tell of not only the king of dirt and bugs, but also of the green that divides despair.
After Shinsooah was possessed by the princess of Sosoguk, the situation was roughly sorted out.
“Hey, Mr. Kangrim.”
But during that time, Shin Soo-ah’s expression was not good.
Something looks quite uneasy.
Seo Kang-rim asked with a slightly worried expression on his face.
“What’s going on?”
“Yes. There’s something that concerns me. Kang-rim’s spirit… … . The King of Earth and Bugs doesn’t seem to fit together in many ways… … .”
Seo Kang-rim thought it was something serious because his expression didn’t look good, but fortunately it wasn’t anything serious and he was relieved.
The king of dirt and bugs, he seemed like a somewhat lowly god.
But Seo Kang-rim didn’t really care.
“I don’t really care.”
“No, bro. But bugs are a bit much!”
Jang Tae-heon, who was listening to the story, also said as if he agreed.
When he looked slightly excited, Yoon Bom, who was next to him, also spoke up.
“That’s right. And if Master is the king of dirt and bugs, then all the people of this country are bugs… … . Doesn’t that seem a bit much?”
“That’s right, Seo Kang-rim is my main character, so I need a more dignified name.”
Dokgo Jun, who had been possessed by the Third Prince again, spoke with a murderous look in his eyes.
It wasn’t pleasant for Seo Kang-rim.
If Dokgo Jun were to make a name for himself, it would definitely be something amazing, but he didn’t want to be called that kind of name.
Dokgo Jun spoke to the princes.
“What do you think about Seo Kang-rim’s new name?”
“Yes, yes?! Hmm, King of Dirt and Bugs is a beautiful name, but… … .”
“So the word ‘bug’ suits Seo Kang-rim?”
“Oh, no! That’s not it!”
The princes were at a loss, not knowing which rhythm to follow.
Dokgo Jun was laughing because he found them funny.
Seo Kang-rim stepped in to mediate before Dokgo Jun could harass them any further.
“Then you guys change it to something more appropriate and call me. We’ll go back first, so you take care of the rest.”
“Yes, Seo Kang-rim… … !”
All the foreigners in the palace, including the prince, bowed their heads to Seo Kang-rim.
A scene where everyone is kneeling towards him.
Seo Kang-rim blinked while looking at the scenery.
[Leaving Paradise!]
[The ice is lifted!]
And when I opened my eyes again, the scenery had changed.
They were standing in front of the mural they had seen when they first entered the Great Demonic Cave.
But the scenery in the picture was completely different.
“Wow, Master! Look at this!”
Yoon Bom pointed to the picture in an excited tone.
The large stone statue in the painting was destroyed, and the sky was no longer visible.
The people who had been lying on the floor with their faces distorted in pain also had their expressions changed.
A gentle face that seems to have found peace somewhere.
They were kneeling in a large circle, and in the center was a large black dragon.

The person sitting on the black dragon was Seo Kang-rim.
All the residents of Paradise were bowing their heads toward Seo Kang-rim in a prayerful posture.
Seo Kang-rim stared at the picture of the praying people for a moment, then silently left the Great Demon Sutra.
20. The Land of the Nameless
It’s been a week since Paradise was conquered.
The world was still excited about the fact that the Great Demonic Cult had been conquered.
This time, it took quite a long time to successfully conquer the Demonic Realm.
Since time passed quickly within Paradise, the situation in the present world was resolved in about two months.
People’s reactions were mostly similar.
This time again, the majority of people worship him as a god, saying that Seo Kang-rim was the one who carried out the attack.
Many people, both awakened and unawakened, admired him.
The Awakened were trying their best to somehow join hands with Seo Kang-rim, and the Unawakened were desperate to see even a fragment of him.
Seo Kang-rim’s past and daily life were treated like a biography, and his photos and videos were shared like sacred relics.
Of course, there were opposing views.
It was not uncommon to see people slandering and belittling Seo Kang-rim, calling him a hypocrite, and there were also those who were wary of him.
And Lee Hyeon was, if we were to be exact, someone in the middle.
“You should have seen Seo Kang-rim fighting in Paradise.”
In a remote corner of the magic world, Lee Hyeon and Seo Hwa-gyeong were standing.
It is a place that ordinary hunters cannot even approach because it is a very high-level demonic realm.
There was no danger of outsiders entering because a barrier had been set up there.
Seo Hwa-gyeong often met secretly with Lee Hyeon and Kang Do-hyeon.
Although there was a purpose to exchange items and information, there was something more important to Seo Hwa-kyung.
It was information about Seo Kang-rim.
If there was anyone in the most danger right now, it would be Seo Kang-rim.
Due to her situation of having to hide herself, she was unable to see Seo Kang-rim up close.
Although I often kept in touch with Seo Kang-rim, I knew his personality well.
You’ll just roll around like crazy and bleed to death, pretending nothing happened.
That’s why Seo Hwa-kyung was hearing Seo Kang-rim’s story through the people around her.
When Lee Hyun reported in detail what he had seen in the Great Demonic Mirror, she frowned and asked.
“Did Kangrim become that strong?”
“Yes. Seriously.”
Lee Hyun recalled the sight of him fighting in the palace of Paradise.
Although each member of Bihomun’s group was strong, they were nothing compared to Seo Kang-rim.
He also saw Seo Kang-rim fighting in the fourth Daema-gyeong.
I thought he was a strong hunter back then, but this time it was on a different level.
“Honestly, I didn’t know that the reigning king would be defeated.”
The person possessed by Lee Hyeon is one of the heads of a noble family.
I had seen the King from a distance several times, and each time I felt that a direct confrontation would be suicidal.
Because of this, they secretly attempted to assassinate him, but all attempts ended in failure.
In the midst of all this, when he saw Seo Kang-rim defeating the King from the front, many thoughts crossed his mind.
How many sacrifices did you have to make to become that strong?
“… … Seo Kang-rim, I don’t know how close we are to the boundary.”
I have often encountered cases of awakened people who have accumulated karma and gone mad as they approached the boundary.
It was a well-known fact to all Hunters that a mad awakened being was more vicious than a demon.
Lee Hyeon said with a frown.
“Seo Kang-rim is growing stronger too quickly. The reason for such abnormal growth must be because he steals fortune telling.”
As he said, Seo Kang-rim was steadily stealing other people’s fates and accumulating karma.
His strength ultimately comes with karma.
Seo Hwa-kyung let out a short sigh and said.
“Yes. If possible, it would be good to stop using fortune telling and stop killing… … .”
Seo Hwa-kyung also knew that it was impossible.
Seo Kang-rim had to become stronger even if it meant taking risks.
Only then will we be able to deal with the Protectorate, with the unchanging Eternity.
Seo Hwa-kyung’s job was not to stop Seo Kang-rim, but to help him endure.
“If we strengthen Kangrim’s mind and body, we can delay his approach to the boundary even a little bit. Did you bring the medicine?”
“Yes. We prepared it with the best quality.”
Lee Hyeon handed a small box to Seo Hwa-kyung.
It was an elixir made by mobilizing all the alchemists of the Black Gate, referring to the recipe given in advance by Seo Hwa-gyeong.
The amount of material that went into it alone was astronomical.
“Thank you. If I have this, Kangrim will be able to endure it a little longer.”
Lee Hyeon was looking at Seo Hwa-kyung with concern.
The medicine I’m giving you now will help Seo Kang-rim, but it’s not a panacea.
If we succumb to the illusion that boundaries present, we will eventually cross the line.
To prevent that, I had no choice but to strengthen my body and mind.
Of course, if you accumulate karma strong enough to encompass all of that, no amount of mental power can handle it.
Seo Kang-rim is steadily moving towards the border.
What if Seo Kang-rim crosses the line and goes crazy?
He knew all too well how a person who had lost his reason changed.
If Seo Kang-rim crosses the border, he could become a bigger enemy than the Protectorate.
As for Lee Hyeon, he wanted to prevent that.
He looked around and then opened his mouth carefully.
“Senior. We may have to prepare for the worst. If Seo Kang-rim is on guard… … .”
“That won’t happen.”
Seo Hwa-kyung spoke firmly, as if she was not worth dealing with.
I could tell what Lee Hyeon was trying to say without even having to listen.
If Seo Kang-rim reaches the boundary, he may have to be killed.
Or it could be a story about having to kill someone just before reaching the border.
Seo Hwa-gyeong spoke with her teeth clenched.
“That will never happen to Kangrim.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Because I’ll stop it.”
Seo Hwa-kyung glared at Lee Hyeon with a burning gaze and said.
“We will never let our Kangrim go like that. We will stop it by any means necessary.”
