Chapter 1847 – 1847. Map of the Ascension of Gwangmyeong
A week has passed since I was officially recognized as the Little Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon was still closed, so I couldn’t meet her. Socheonma Palace, where I live, was partially destroyed in the aftermath of the battle, so it is being repaired. It’s a technical problem, so it’s getting pretty slow.
As a bonus, they decided to send out all those who had previously worked at Socheonma Palace and hire new ones. Since the owner has changed, it was natural to erase the scent of the previous owner. In fact, the number of servants working at Socheonma Palace was less than 10. That’s also true, since Chun Yuun was such a sneaky guy, he didn’t really like having people in his territory.
‘Because if the altar in the basement is discovered, everything I’ve built up until now will collapse.’
When he came to the Socheonma Palace, he headed underground first. To get rid of useless misunderstandings, the first thing to do is to get rid of the altar.
I called in people to try to destroy the underground altar in order to reduce the reputation of Chun Yu-un, who had fallen behind, but when I entered Socheonma Palace, the underground altar disappeared without a trace and became an empty space. I knew right away who was doing it.
‘It’s the work of a high-ranking person. There are people who have already seen Gwisura, so I’ll be busy walking around.’
The Heavenly Demon seems to have decided to ask Cheon Yuun about what happened. He had no other choice. If information about Cheon Yu-woon’s dealings with the underworld goes to the imperial family, the very existence of the Cheonma Shingo could be in danger.
‘Since they’ve gone this far, I guess I’ll have to cooperate too.’
I checked the budget allocated to Socheonma Palace. There was a reason why Cheon Yu-Woon joined hands with Yu-Woon Sanghoe or created Mukjiryun. This is because the budget of Socheonma Palace was just enough to manage the palace.
‘There’s not as much preferential treatment as I thought.’
To put it bluntly, Socheonma itself was a privilege. Socheonma means the official successor of the Heavenly Demon. He was able to be treated in the Heavenly Demon Church just because he was a small heavenly horse.
For the past week, most of the members of the Heavenly Demon Church have been questioning me. It was a natural question and confusion since the Socheonma suddenly changed. And among them, those with quick brains came to me with bribes.
I accepted the bribe in moderation. It was partly because I coveted a bribe, but I needed to build my foundation even in this way. Unlike Cheon Yu-Woon, who has grown up as a small heavenly horse since birth, I am a rolling stone that has been removed from the stone embedded in it.
‘If you pretend to be too clean, you will only increase your enemies. It has to be moderately dirty.’
From the outside, Cheon Yu-woon may have pursued the perfect Heavenly Demon, but I wasn’t. It didn’t matter if the reputation was a little off. After all, it is difficult for his reputation to improve as long as he kills Chun Yu-wun and takes away his position.
The heavenly prison he received as a bribe was quite good. He already had 204 Cheonok.
And Baekran, the first-class rank, returned to the Heavenly Demon Church with the elders of the Demonic Church and the heads of the Maga. Entering the Heavenly Demon Church, she was very confident. She headed straight to the Heavenly Demon Palace.
The elders looked at me with puzzled expressions and eyes, and the Magas supported me with a soft smile on their lips. Of course, he needed to convince them, so he used the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art right in front of his nose.
“… The Heavenly Demon Sacred Art is certain.”
“I finally found out the identity of the rumor that started from the Tomb of the Heavenly Horse.”
“Since the Heavenly Demon recognized it, it is a legitimate small Heavenly Horse.”
“If you only look at the state of nothingness, it is higher than Cheon Yuun.”
I had some conversations with them. The family heads of Mark were favorable to me, probably because they were promised interests through the Baekrans. The elders were vague. It still feels like exploring me.
‘There’s even a sword demon among the elders.’
Yeon Seo-rang is the third elder and Yeon Ye-ha’s father. I wanted to get to know him. Even in the original work, Sword Demon was quite competent. However, it was not easy, as Cheon Yu-woon won the swordsman’s heart only in the middle and late stages of the original work. He remained resolutely neutral.
‘The Sword Demon and I are on the same stage… Quite a difference. I can’t win right now. I don’t know if I become the Super Heavenly Demon again.’
I was at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, and the Sword Demon was more than a minimum interruption. He was strong enough to not know exactly how much of a difference it was.
The two eyes of the Sword Demon looking at me are indifferent. It was clear that he did not know the relationship between me and Ye Ha. Well, there’s no way Yeon Ye-ha could tell anyone about the relationship in which they raped each other.
‘It’s better not to provoke it. There is no benefit to be gained by touching it.’
So it was quiet
Smoothly.
While showing moderate greed like everyone does.
“They declared that it was Seong Yu-jin, not Yeom Guseok. Is there a reason he changed his name?”
One of the elders asked.
“Sung Eugene is my real name.”
“… Why did you use a fake name?”
“I hate to talk.”
“Right. What’s your relationship with the first-rate gold medal?”
“Did we meet by chance? We may become closer in the future.”
“…”
The elder wrinkled his forehead. He looked at me as if trying to figure it out. I looked at him without averting my eyes.
By the time the sun went down, all the guests had left. And after the sun had completely set, the white orchid came. She entered the Socheonma Palace, swaying, and sat down in front of me as if she was used to it.
“The work has been successfully completed. Much more than I expected.”
I took out a beer can from the space box and handed it over. Baekran accepted the beer can without hesitation. She opened her can with her familiar fingers.
Gulp.
A smile forms on her lips as she drank the cold beer.
“As expected, the drinks you serve are delicious.”
“Have you met the Heavenly Demon?”
“I went to see you. However, I couldn’t meet you. The Heavenly Demon has entered the closed hall training. The guardians of the Heavenly Demon welcomed me.”
“… Did the Heavenly Demon really go into closure?”
“The Heavenly Demon Constellation was empty.”
“The Celestial Demon Constellation?”
It was a word I had never heard before. She looked at me in surprise.
“I thought you would know it because it is a fact that you know if you have enough information… Don’t you know?”
I do not know. Did not appear in the original. When you hear the name, are you referring to something like the Heavenly Demon’s chair?
“Should I know?”
“Knowledge and information are power. It helps if you know. The Heavenly Demon Constellation is a throne where only the Heavenly Demon can sit.”
Baekran took another sip of her beer and continued her words.
“As you know, magic is not called magical art for nothing. It’s dangerous and it’s an affair, so it’s a magic trick. The Heavenly Demon God is also a magician. The Heavenly Demon Singong is more prone to the coin intoxication than other magicians. That’s why only a few humans can learn the Heavenly Demon Art. The Heavenly Family, the lineage of the First Heavenly Demon, is born with it. However, it’s not perfect. Even the bloodline of Mr. Chun often falls into the intoxication of the state. At that time, it is the constellation of the Heavenly Demon that helps.”
“Does the Heavenly Demon Constellation get rid of the coin affliction?”
“No. Only one person can overcome the coin infancy. The Heavenly Demon Constellation is just helping you survive the main fire attack.”
“It’s a great thing.”
“The fact that the Heavenly Demon, who was afflicted with the coin intoxication, emptied the Heavenly Demon Constellation and entered the closed hall… He made up his mind to overcome his heart and get out of the coin indoctrination. He has found a clue to get rid of Simma.”
“Okay?”
“You are so bold. It’s a variable. It’s not good for me, it’s not good for you.”
“Well, if the Heavenly Demon overcomes it, it will take more time for me to rise to the position of the Heavenly Demon.”
White eggs were still serious. He realized that the Heavenly Demon before returning had died due to the coin indoctrination. Even in the original story, the Heavenly Demon did not live long. When Chun Yu-un died. Or the future has changed for some other reason.
It was good because I was used to it. Because it’s always happened that the future that was set up changes.
However, from Baekran’s point of view, variables would not be welcome. Because that means that the experience before the return is useless. She says that it is to her advantage to guide her future as closely as possible to how it was before her return.
“Tell me. The day you killed Chun Yuun. What exactly happened?”
I was troubled. Do you tell the whole truth, or do you hide it appropriately?
It is impossible to completely cover up what happened that day. Better to let you know
“… Did you swear allegiance to the Emperor?”
“If you want to become a first-class royal, you have no choice but to swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor. Talent and strength, as well as loyalty, must be perfect in order to become the golden rank.”
“If the emperor dies, can he die? Would you lay down your life for the Emperor?”
“…”
White Lan just smiled.
That was the answer If I had sincerely sworn an oath to the Emperor, he would have denounced me with anger instead of silence.
The original work of the recurring Heavenly Demon is [The Revenge of the Heavenly Demon]. True to its name, Baekran is just a vengeful spirit running for revenge.
‘As the various worlds were mixed, it was 180 degrees different from the contents of [The Revenge of the Heavenly Demon]… It seems that the vengeance is still there.’
I told you what happened when I killed Chun Yuun. He did not hide the altar in the basement of Socheonma Palace.
“… I could never have thought that Chun Yu-wun would directly sign a contract with the Underworld.”
“Contrary to the appearance, he was cornered. To the extent that he holds hands with the underworld. He said he failed at least half of what he was doing.”
“Hmm. Is it.”
As if the cause of the failure was nothing, he emptied his beer can and reached out to me. I gave a small admiration for his shamelessness and handed him a new beer can.
“How did you win when you couldn’t handle a ghost right now? According to the eyewitness account of the Heavenly Demonic Church, they said that they felt a huge demonic energy at the time.”
“… I used Pacheonhwang.”
Baekran’s eyes widen as if they were about to tear apart.
“Pacheonwang?! The wave emperor I know?! How can he write that and still be alive?”
“I was born with the energy of the stars.”
“You know that. Exactly what kind of star’s energy do you get better at?”
“Cheon Kang-seong.”
“… Whoa. Is it Chun Kang-seong, who is said to be the best among the stars? It seems that the power of that planet is the reason why he is fine even after using the Wave Emperor.”
Baekran tried to hide his excitement. I looked at her hair. My hair also turned pure white when I used Wave Emperor. Her white hair may have something to do with Emperor Pa.
“Right. And Chun Jiang can temporarily use the power of other stars.”
Pop.
She stopped with a can of beer. As if time has stopped. However, her shaking pupils tell us that time continues to flow.
“… That’s right. What an ability. Are there any restrictions though? There is no way I can use the power of a great star like Jamieseong even temporarily…”
“There are conditions, but you can perfectly use the power of other stars. In fact, he killed Gwisura and Chun Yuun with the power of the Cheonsalseong.”
“…”
The hardened face of Baekran was relieved. Her eyes and mouth form an arc and she smiles softly.
“I understand why the Heavenly Demon went into closure. You are a much greater man than I thought.”
Baekran will covet my power. At least, the power of the Thousand Killer will be coveted. Seeing the case of the Yuwun Chamber earlier, the target of Baekran’s revenge must also be in the underworld. The power of the Thousand Killer, which can completely kill anyone, is coveted.
‘He must be raising my value in his head.’
The psychology of the returning avenger is obvious. Use whatever is available. You must be thinking.
‘I ride the Regressor coin, and you ride the Chunjiangseong coin.’
I picked up the beer can and lightly bumped her beer can.
‘Now, let’s get close for each other’s purposes.’
Me and her drank her beer late into the night. She, who had become her drunkard, never attacked me. Baekran was very strong in alcohol.
[End of play.]
