The mage quietly gazed at Mount Tai.
Taishan was so heterogeneous.
It was no wonder that he had reached the realm in his previous life. That’s exactly what it should have been.
But he was stuck in the position of an ordinary mortal.
And when I reached the realm in this life, I never got stuck. If he
obtained the appropriate power, he would have reached the realm immediately.
As if they were qualified from the start.
‘To be honest, I don’t know.’
Taishan is twisted.
But what it was, where it twisted from, and where he had to reach, the wizard did not know.
No one will know that.
Except for Taesan himself.
The most important thing to become a transcendental person is to build it yourself.
But that’s not all. It was one of the conditions to become a transcendentalist. In addition, numerous conditions and qualifications had to be met.
One of them is self-knowledge.
Know yourself, figure out what you have achieved, and contemplate what you are.
I had to know myself.
The wizard thought of giving that opportunity.
‘I’m glad I figured it out quickly.’
contemplation of oneself. It wasn’t something that could be achieved with help or hints from anyone. Even if they were forced into coercive conditions or limitations, there was no effect.
I had to hit a wall myself and find an answer.
“Find the answer within yourself.”
The wizard murmured quietly.
* *
It is difficult with the method so far. If so, think of new methods and paths.
But, of course, the answer did not come easily.
So think about it step by step.
‘A transcendental person.’
It is not a state reached by divinity like Mount Tai, but a lofty state where one owns a realm and governs the law.
That level is a monster. It had the power to transcend cognition and
literally had the power to influence the entire universe.
So, how do I get to that level?
conditions to reach the realm. Tae San recalled what he had heard earlier.
‘What he built up from the mortals.’
That’s what matters most. It was a phrase I had heard countless times.
But that wasn’t all that was needed. Those who have reached the immortal stage also
gain their own powers based on what they have accumulated since their mortal days.
‘Is it the difference between what is piled up?’
What did you build up on?
What did you give your life and yourself to?
Such a strange difference could separate the realm, but I didn’t think it was just that.
there was something between immortality and transcendence.
But even Taishan didn’t know what it was.
After thinking for a while, Taesan shook his head. If he had been able to find out just by worrying like this in the first place, the green witch would have no reason to sign a contract with him.
Taesan changed his mind. Focus on yourself, not on the big things.
‘I said in my previous life that I should have reached the level.’
Either immortality or transcendence had to be attained. These were the words of countless transcendentalists to Taesan.
However, Taesan in his previous life was only a mortal.
He was clearly foreign and twisted.
If so, where does that twist come from?
If you think about it, it was a very strange thing.
Why is he able to handle blackness, which is not allowed to beings in this world?
Why is it possible to create the power of borderline by mixing divinity and blackness, which no one has been able to achieve?
Why is it that he can steal the power of the transcendent of the old gods and make it his own?
It was all very strange and incomprehensible.
said the archdemon. He is a mixed man.
When Taesan didn’t understand what he said, he said he would give Taesan a hint. I was told to think of my own journey.
‘…my journey.’
Where did he come from and what did he achieve?
Taesan recalled the memory.
It won’t happen on Earth. There, he was just an ordinary human being
. The journey that Baal spoke of is probably from the time he entered the labyrinth in his previous life.
I still remembered it. collapsing world. A monster that splits the sky. And the selection window that appeared to them.
There, he reflexively chose Easy Mode.
When they first entered the labyrinth, everyone was confused and embarrassed. But eventually, they figured out what they had to do and what the situation was, and everyone began to slowly descend the labyrinth.
It wasn’t long before people descending Easy Mode breathed a sigh of relief.
It was because only hellish rumors came through Ker Unity in Normal Hard Alone mode.
Everyone was relieved that they had made the right choice and that they could survive.
‘That thought was wrong.’
In the first return to Earth, everyone realized. They said
that they made the most wrong decision and that
they should have selected at least normal mode.
Taesan also realized at that moment.
If this is the case, he cannot survive.
Only certain death comes upon him.
Since then he has changed.
I tried to get strong to survive. However, no matter how strong he became, he could only become stronger within the limits of this mode.
When others realized the truth and gave up in despair, Taesan did not give up.
He somehow found a way to become stronger.
That was the skill.
‘I had a hard time.’
I had a really hard time. At the time, no one knew about the conditions for obtaining the skill. Taesan took on an immeasurable challenge only in figuring out the acquisition conditions, and when he first acquired the main skill, it was after acquiring hundreds of useless skills.
Even more so, there were many times when the condition achieved after investing a very long time and effort
was nothing, or what was obtained was a worthless skill.
I almost broke my heart several times, and people around me stuck out their tongues and told me to take it easy.
But Tae-san did not give up.
He worked tirelessly and never stopped. I tried to determine and obtain all possibilities.
As a result, he acquired skills such as simple time stop multiplication.
‘But there was a wall after all.’
He was an easy mode player. No matter how strong he became, his basic stats
couldn’t be helped. That’s why he couldn’t win against the apostle.
There, he returned again using the stone left by Lee Tae-yeon.
And now he was here.
Once again, he overcame numerous difficulties and developed his strength to reach the state of transcendence.
This is what he built up.
Taesan frowned.
‘There is no such thing.’
It could be called a great feat. As the transcendentalists said, it was not strange even if he surpassed mortality.
However, there was no specificity to deal with the elevation of the spirit or the boundary line. At least Taesan judged it that way.
Time in Easy Mode is most likely not an issue.
If so, where is the problem?
what twisted him
keep thinking
‘…but I can feel it.’
It was not clearly expressed. It was the feeling of being blocked with only one step ahead.
‘Come to think of it.’
Hafran passed through Taesan’s mind.
Taesan got up from his seat.
“I’ll be away for a while.”
“Go. You have plenty of time.”
The wizard leisurely sent off.
Taesan climbed the labyrinth and went to Hafran.
“Here again. Do you have anything to ask of
me?”
“If there is, there is, but now I have something to ask first.”
Taesan opened his mouth.
“Did you see my image?”
He used to associate images with Mount Tai. The image Taesan saw of Hafran was of himself striking a hammer alone in a world made of fire.
Hafran must have seen something inside him, so he could have known something.
Hafran nodded with an ambiguous face at Taesan’s question.
“I did see it. Why?”
“Can you tell me what you saw then?”
“It doesn’t matter… but it won’t help much. Imagery has little meaning until it is realized by oneself. Even if others say it, it is just a simple language.”
Hafran said with a reluctant face.
“Above all, having others tell you about your images can cause problems if you do it wrong. Your mind can become fixed.”
“Is there a problem?”
“That is what imagery is.”
Hafran explained.
“The moment you hear a story about your image, whether you like it or not, the content is imprinted in your head. If you do it wrong, you may shake the heart you built up.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Taesan replied. He was not weak enough to be shaken by the words of others now.
“Because I don’t know when I see it.
I want to hear it from someone else’s point of view.”
“If so, yes.”
Hafran stroked his chin.
Recalling his memory, he began to speak slowly.
“First of all, I couldn’t figure out everything about you. No matter how much you connected the images, you were in a far superior state than me at the time. All I can know is approximate.”
“I know that.”
Taishan at that time was an immortal. Even if they were directly connected, beings of a lower rank
could neither understand nor accept the beings of higher ranks.
“To describe what I saw… it was quite heterogeneous.”
“Heterogeneous?”
“Imagery is, after all, a fundamental part of the individual. As such, it is often intuitive. But… you were different. Something got mixed up.”
“You mean black?”
That in itself wasn’t too surprising.
he got black And that power is now the most important part to him.
And the spiritual rise is the power to rob and consume the power of others. I was expecting something twisted. All he knew was more than that.
“I don’t know. But something was strange.”
Hafran said in an ambiguous tone.
“I simply couldn’t see that the power you gained became part of the image. Everything was mixed up haphazardly, and the nature of it was unknown.”
At those words, Taesan hesitated.
“everything?”
“okay.”
Hafran nodded.
“It was mixed in the first place, as if it had been there from the beginning.”
“…Yes, this is it.”
The black color is the power he obtained afterwards. Even if they were mixed, only some of them had to be mixed.
But that it was all twisted from the start.
‘Are you saying it had something to do with them from the beginning?’
It wasn’t until later that he stumbled
.
It was a start.
That is his essence and source.
The moment he realized that, something changed inside Taesan. Something started to feel as if a wall had been blocked off.
“This.”
Things he couldn’t see or feel and things he couldn’t realize were imprinted in him.
“…Something seems to have changed.”
Hafran also felt the change, and
withdrew with a slightly surprised face.
“Looks like it helped?”
“enough.”
Taesan calmly suppressed the swaying power. It was not completely understood. There are still many things I don’t know.
However, it was enough to understand this far.
“That’s good. ah. yes.”
Hafran looked at Mount Tai with a puzzled face.
“When I looked at your image,
I saw something deep inside you.”
“something?”
“I don’t know what that is. But there was something in you It was strange to say that it was simply your image.”
Hafran shook his head.
“I could be wrong. It was only seen for a moment and then disappeared. But something bothered me.”
“Yes, this is it.”
something nestled inside him. Taesan thought for a moment and nodded.
“good. thank you.”
“Then, are you done with your business?”
Taesan shook his head. He has made a change. You can do things that were previously impossible.
Taesan opened his inventory.
Hafran’s face contorted when he saw the ingredients he took out.
“….that.”
“I want to make something with this. I want you to help me.”
