Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 632. A story in the reign (7)

After finishing the conversation with Namgungdan, Seoliang left the Demon Goddess Palace.

“….”

I didn’t want to make a fuss, so I reduced my presence, so the demons passed right in front of Seoryang and didn’t recognize him.

‘That’s interesting.’

Xiliang looked up at the sky.

The clear sky without a single cloud was so blue that it seemed as if it was about to pour down at any moment.

‘Be free.’

He had acquired martial arts that could be considered the best of all time. Now, if you really want to, you can blend into the world without anyone knowing.

‘It can even erase memories.’

If you borrow infinite magic power, the power of Panmajeong, and even the power of Geumho, you can erase the memories of all the demons in Shingyo and leave in no time.

This means that he can literally commit god-like acts and disappear into hiding. It was as if he had obtained the power he had longed for in the past.

‘but.’

Xu Liang smiled.

‘The dream that I was so desperate for in the past has no meaning to me now.’

Maybe Master guessed this far. Were you sure that this shameless disciple would never run out into the world the moment he became the leader?

‘Come to think of it.’

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

‘I didn’t find the place I needed to go.’

I was busy, but I also couldn’t really pay attention.

“I’m a really stupid person too.”

Paralarak!

Xiliang flew into the sky.

The place where Seoryang landed, moving at an incredible speed, was the grave of the bereaved families who had suffered damage due to the former Seoryang, who was called a tyrant before he entered the body of the Three Dukes.

Seoryang, who was quietly looking at the tomb, soon walked in front of it and knelt down.

“Was this right? “I guess that’s right.”

Seoyang put his hands together and closed his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes and changed his posture to sit comfortably.

“He said he would become the leader of the sect and correct the religion, and then come back when he was free.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Actually, I didn’t try hard, but at least I became confident that there would be no victims like you in my generation. “That’s why I’m confident, so don’t think too much of me.”

Lee Cheon-sang raised Shin-gyo on a rock, but lost his humanity at the end of Shinhwa-gyeong.

So, I was not involved in the school incident. If he had not lost his humanity, there would not have been so much crookedness in the government’s opinion in passing down the Demon Emperor Qi to Jin Gwan-yong, and there would not have been so many missteps among the scholars. Furthermore, these victims would not have arisen either.

It was clearly Lee Cheon-sang’s fault. Regardless of whether they lost their humanity or not, they were ultimately victims of his vice.

“I’m not protecting Master. However, I try not to reach the same level as him. “Until I am confident that there will not be victims like you, not only in my generation but also in future generations.”

Of course, that’s something we can’t be sure about.

In fact, no matter how confident Seo-ryang is, he does not know the future. Fundamentally, a system cannot be perfect, and the reason a system cannot be perfect is because of human imperfection.

In other words, unless Xiliang becomes a true god, we can never make something like this happen.

That’s why I say myself. If you feel like this is enough, you must have risked your life and put in the effort.

At least Seo-ryang was a man who kept his words.

“I managed to come this far. yes?”

Seoryang sat comfortably on the ground and spoke as if he was talking to a friend.

He scratched his head.

“It seems like just yesterday that I held my hands together and made a pledge in front of everyone. Time flies so fast. ah! “Now that I think about it, that was the day when the small school was inaugurated?”

Xu Liang grinned.

“I was really young back then. “It was just a few years ago.”

Yes. I was young at that time.

People are not mature just because they are older, and people are not immature just because they are young.

Even if you are old, if you cannot truly set your own will, you are young. Even if you are young, if you know how to clearly set your own will and work hard, you are an adult.

If you think about it that way, Seoliang was definitely young during his Xiaogyo days. Of course, it’s just that he was younger than he is now, but back then he knew how to decide the path he should take.

“I can’t believe that such an idiot has taken control of the world and has become someone revered as a demon god.”

Xu Liang closed his eyes.

“What can I say?”

Although I was aware of myself as a demon god, I had this question again and again.

Are you truly worthy of sitting in such a great position and being worshiped by so many people?

‘After all, the only thing a guy like me can do is punch.’

Xu Liang shook his head.

“From now on, I hope there will be a world where ugly people like me are not worshiped as demon gods.”

He truly thought so.

At least he wasn’t the ideal monarch he thought he was. I am trying hard to become like that, but human nature is not something that can be easily changed.

Of course, whether a ruler or a person in power is not determined by innate nature. However, Seoliang thought that his nature was not suited to being supported by someone.

“But what can I do? “Now that I’ve reached this position, I have no choice but to live comfortably and then move on.”

Xiliang opened his eyes.

‘I can see it.’

Wooooow.

The reigning Demon Emperor that opened the Gate of Desire concentrated the demonic energy that had reached the Heavenly Heaven into the Sangsangjeon.

Then it appeared. Souls lurking in the graveyard.

Even now, I see ghosts wandering around without being able to ascend to heaven.

“The resentment was so deep.”

Xiliang sighed.

“I should have come sooner, but I really have no shame.”

Slurp.

I could feel the souls who could not ascend to heaven all turning their heads towards me.

Xiliang’s divine eye and spiritual eye made eye contact with each soul.

Only then did the souls sit on the grave. They realized that Seo-ryang had recognized them.

“I had a hard time staying here for a long time.”

Xu Liang nodded.

“I’m going to create a fairly decent new religion, so now just shake it off and go where you need to go.”

Seoliang knew. The answer they want is not an apology or anything like that.

Because I knew that, I pledged to create a group that would not create victims like you, and I also told you that I have not forgotten my past pledge.

Phew.

A pale light arose from countless soul bodies.

It was only a light visible to Seoryang’s eyes. In the first place, there was no way for souls or ears to have colors.

Nevertheless, it could be seen that it was a filter used by people in this world to recognize the dead.

“I’ll see you again later when I die.”

Flash!

All the souls staying in the cemetery disappeared in an instant.

Even Seoryang couldn’t tell whether it rose into the sky or fell to the ground. I just realized that they went where they were supposed to go.

That’s enough. That is enough.

‘This is why promises are so scary.’

If they had forgotten this promise and never came back, they would have hovered in that spot for an incalculable amount of time and become ghosts.

Seoryang, who was quietly looking at the graveyard, soon stood up.

“Now… what’s left?”

Seo-ryang, who was deep in thought, chuckled.

“That’s funny. “When you’re like this, you seem like a person who wants to finish everything he has to do before he dies.”

At that time, there was a rustling sound from behind.

Xu Liang said calmly.

“Come out.”

“…I apologize.”

The person who emerged from the bushes was an old man with a fairly sturdy physique.

Although he had an impressive strong physique, he was an old man who gave the impression of being ordinary overall.

But if I were an expert, I would know. The intense energy radiating from the old man’s eyes.

Anyone will be able to tell that he is a super expert, like a living lightning bolt, with magical power beyond imagination.

“Is this the first time you two meet alone like this?”

“That’s right.”

The old man was none other than the Great Demon Lord of the Nine, the Great Demon Lord.

Surprisingly, the Demon Lord did not spit out the divine demon honorific even when Seoryang was in front of him.

And Seo-ryang also felt nothing at all about the arrogance of the Byeok-ryeok Majon.

The Byeokryeok Mazon, who was quietly watching Seoryang, opened his mouth.

“Can I pass by for a moment?”

“I know.”

The Byeokryeok Mazon approached the tomb with cautious gestures.

Then he started trimming the weeds in the cemetery with the huge sword he held in his hand.

square. square.

The sound of cut grass falling to the ground was strangely loud.

Seo-ryang, who was quietly looking at him, opened his mouth.

“Now that I think about it, I still don’t know the names of the Old Great Mazon.”

“Of course. The moment we become Mazon, we abandon our name. Worldly names are meaningless compared to the position of Majon.”

“Still, I want to know.”

“It’s a name you’ll soon forget.”

“Can you at least tell me your last name?”

The Byeokryeokmazon spoke in a polite tone.

“It’s a wooden house.”

“Mr. Mok….”

Seo-ryang closed his eyes.

square. square.

The movements of Jeondo cutting the grass were very smooth.

It was not a move that could be seen as having deeply learned martial arts. Unless you are someone who has managed tombs countless times, you would not be able to move this efficiently.

Seo-ryang opened his eyes again and opened his mouth.

“Why didn’t you try to kill me?”

The Pyeongyeokmazon answered. Of course, the evangelism did not stop.

“These are difficult words to bear. “How could someone with such convictions want to harm the religious leader?”

“I’m talking about the past, not the present.”

“Same.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“it is not so. Although it has disappeared from my memory, it is clear that this body did it anyway. And at that time, I was just a candidate for succession.”

“That’s right.”

“No matter how much of a successor candidate he was, there was nothing the Old Grand Mazon couldn’t kill if he decided to do so. But why did you leave it there?”

“How can I touch the former leader’s disciple, even if he is a mazon?”

“Is that really all there is?”

“….”

The Byeokryeok Mazon stopped preaching.

The Byeokryeok Majon, who had been quietly watching the tomb, got up and looked back at Seoryang.

“Master.”

“You tell me.”

“I am a sinner.”

“…Why?”

“When you were a prince, you harassed and killed people in my family.”

“….”

“The remaining family members asked me for revenge.”

“I guess so.”

“I said I wouldn’t do that.”

“The reason is?”

“Because that’s what Amazon is.”

“….”

“And….”

The Great Power Mazon closed his eyes.

“If I had taken revenge, the former leader would have eliminated all demons with the Mok surname except me.”

“…Why do you think that?”

“After the former religious leader ascended to heaven, he watched almost everything that happened in the new religion. But there was one thing he would never turn a blind eye to.”

Xi Liang sighed.

“He was a person who didn’t care if his house caught fire, but he was a person who prevented forest fires from starting.”

“You saw it correctly. also….”

“…?”

“The former leader could see the future almost accurately.”

The Great Power Mazon smiled.

It was a smile filled with indescribable emotions.

“If you had known I would move, you would have prevented it from happening in the first place.”

“It’s just an assumption.”

“Huh, that’s right. So this conversation right now is actually meaningless.”

Xiliang sighed.

‘Really…’

Before ruling the world.

There is so much left to do.
