– Volume 16, Chapter 9
384. The 6th Return Earth (2)
The realm made of golden light is realized in the world centering on the collapsed heaven and earth.
“Ohhh…
people could feel it viscerally. That that place is a realm created by Taesan. That the golden light would protect them.
People chant Taishan’s name
and worship it strongly. Their faith is the basis for maintaining the Holy Land.
“O”
At the same time, Taesan noticed.
The fact that his own rank, which had been straddling the boundary, was pushing his head beyond the boundary.
‘I can reach it faster than I thought.’
Taesan went to see Kim Hwiyeon again. She was very surprised to see the holy land spread out by Mount Tai.
“Mr. Taesan! What is that?”
“Holy ground.”
“A holy place?”
“Very few monsters can’t invade the Holy Land. And inside, your injuries will heal at a rapid rate. It will also prevent interference with the mind.”
“How long?”
“doesn’t exist. As long as you worship me unwaveringly, I will be there forever.”
“…Now it’s a real god.”
Kim Hwi-yeon muttered blankly. I knew that Mt. Tai had extraterrestrial powers, but
I couldn’t believe they even created a sacred place. It was unimaginable.
“Okay, get it sorted out. If you come from all over Asia, which countries are you coming from?”
“Ah yes.”
Kim Hwi-yeon opened her mouth with a calm face.
“As a result of checking in the community, the country that will gather here is largely India. And Russia.”
In the last return, Korea, China and Japan came together in one place.
So did other countries. Russia and Mongolia united on Russia’s side, and the rest of the world gathered on India.
“It’s comfortable because I don’t have to worry about the details.”
“What are you going to do? Mr. Taesan?”
It must be, as before, whether you intend to help them come. Taesan shook his head.
“I’m not going to help. It will arrive without a problem.”
The cracks in the sky were very quiet. Taishan
noticed that it was the calm before the storm.
Goshin was gathering his strength to kill Taesan.
Under such circumstances, there was no way to waste energy targeting players from other countries. From the point of view of Gosin, everything except Taesan was nothing more than dust.
Taesan’s judgment was that even if they didn’t interfere, they would arrive without any problems.
“Isn’t there anything more to do than that? Isn’t that at least a billion units coming?”
“I see…isn’t it?”
“Then where do you house all those people?”
“That is also a problem.”
There were still too many people, and there were quite a few people sleeping on the sidewalk. In such a situation, it was also a job to prepare a space for them to settle down when the population reached twice as many.
“Is it difficult to expand the holy land?”
“Impossible. The holy ground is limited to that size.”
As the size of the holy land increased,
the amount of divinity consumed increased exponentially. Considering people’s faith, the limit was about twice the size of Cheonji.
Taesan got up from his seat.
“Isn’t there anything difficult to think about? Let’s just clear the land in moderation.”
“…I don’t think it’s good enough.”
Kim Hwi-yeon said shyly.
Taesan entered the sacred ground he created.
The holy land was formed around heaven and earth.
In the battle with the monster, Mt. Baekdu collapsed. The wreckage remained and occupied the space.
Clean them up and return them to their original state.
It’s not difficult. The Holy Land is his domain. What he wished for came true.
Breathe out with will.
“Go back.”
[You have activated the Declaration of Regeneration.]
Coo-gu-gu-goo!
“Uh uh uh?”
People who were taking a break at the Holy Land wake up frightened. The earth began to shake.
“Wow!”
People rushed out of Mt. Baekdu in a hurry due to a sudden incident. They stared blankly at Mt. Baekdu.
Kugoogu Palace….
As the cliff was built, the water scattered in all directions rose into the air. As the trees grew, various colors began to appear in the space.
The collapsed Mt. Baekdu was rising again.
The shaking subsided and people were at a loss for words.
Mt. Baekdu, which had completely collapsed and lost its shape, regained its original shape.
When people climbed to the top of Mt. Baekdu, even heaven and earth were left intact.
“…Oh God.”
Someone muttered in a voice that sounded like a moan.
After that, Taesan organized other places other than holy places.
It wasn’t difficult. Taesan, which made a contract with the King of Spirits, was able to exercise absolute influence over nature. There was even a spirit there, so it was not difficult to overthrow the entire land.
In an instant, all the obstacles blocking my view disappeared.
Space has been created for billions of people.
People did not burst into cheers or exclamations.
I just quietly knelt down and
prayed to Mount Tai. Pure faith without a single impurity pervaded Taishan’s whole body.
Time passed and they came.
“Here.”
“Hih
Taesan stopped the sword. Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyuk sat down.
Taesan was looking at the other side. The two of them barely caught their breath and turned their eyes to Taesan’s direction.
“…Nothing?”
“Because it is out of your sight. Tell Hwiyeon Kim that she will come soon, so be prepared.”
“Yes…
Lee Tae-yeon staggered up and headed for Kim Hwi-yeon.
Before long, the top players, including Kim Hwi-yeon, looked nervously in the direction Tae-san said.
Soon the opponents were close enough that they could tell.
“What are so many of them?”
“wait for a sec. How many people are there?”
People freaked out. I couldn’t count the number. There was literally no end in sight.
When I first met China, I was overwhelmed by the number, but this time it was even more than that.
People waited for them with nervous faces.
Those approaching them stopped when they reached a certain distance.
“…what?”
Kim Hwi-yeon’s eyes shook.
The opponent was preparing a place to stay away from them.
“Why are they like that?”
It was a very strange thing. They were survivors of a destroyed world. Even though the survivors would ostracize each other for their own gain and
engage in conflict, they never distanced themselves from each other.
But this time, they made a shelter at a distance, as if they would not even touch it.
When this happened, Kim Hwi-yeon was also embarrassed. I didn’t know what the other person was thinking.
When I was confused and unable to make a decision, a person came from the other side.
He was a man who somehow seemed weak. Approaching alone, he quietly opened his mouth.
“An Alone mode player from India who serves as the leader of the Asian Alliance. My name is Kamal Hasan.”
“Asia Union?”
“My country. It is a group based in India. I don’t have a proper name, so I’m calling it that.”
Hassan said that and kept his mouth shut. Kim Hwi-yeon cleared her embarrassment and opened her mouth.
“I am the leader of Korea. My name is Hwiyeon Kim.”
“Nice to meet you. Are you the leader of this group?”
“For now, that’s the situation.”
Hasan looked behind Kim Hwi-yeon.
There was a holy place made of gold.
Hassan’s eyes widened.
“Is that… you made it?”
“yes? no. That one was made by Kang Tae-san over here.”
“Kang Tae-san…
Hassan looked at Tae-san.
While thinking of something alone, he opened his mouth.
“I have come to speak with you. Are you okay?”
“Sure.”
Hwiyeon Kim nodded. In a situation where I didn’t know what to do because I kept my distance from the other side, a person called a leader came to me. Kim Hwi-yeon was thinking of digging up information somehow.
“Can you tell me why you distanced yourself from us? If a monster appears in the future, it would be good to join forces…
“I think so too.”
Hassan smiled bitterly.
“But there are people who reject it. There is nothing I can do about it.”
” yes?”
Hwi-yeon Kim was taken aback by Hasan’s words.
“Didn’t you say you were the leader? But you can’t force someone to reject you. What do you mean by that?”
I don’t know if everyone else is against it, but just because some people are against it, the leader has to break his will. Kim Hwi-yeon could not understand.
“…Because I have no strength.”
Hassan closed his mouth with a gloomy face. Kim Hwi-yeon tried to ask, but Hasan didn’t answer.
Kim Hwi-yeon took Hasan to the Holy Land. People who saw Mount Tai knelt down and prayed.
Hassan, who watched them, opened his mouth.
“They all revere Mr. Taesan, as the community says.”
“Yes. Because Taesan saved us. If it wasn’t for Mr. Taesan, we all wouldn’t have survived?”
It wasn’t empty talk. The monsters that appeared were monsters that they could not touch. Without Taesan, life could not exist on this land.
However, that statement made Hassan perplexed.
He looked at Kim Hwi-yeon.
“Are you a hardmode player? What floor did you reach?”
“I just reached the 70th floor.”
Hassan’s pupils widened.
“The 70th floor?”
“Why are you like that?”
Kim Hwi-yeon tilted her head. It wasn’t such a surprising floor, she thought. It was because not a few hard mode players other than her had arrived on the same floor as her.
But Hassan was surprised, as if he had heard of an impossible feat.
Hassan struggled to contain his embarrassment and asked again.
“Taesan seems to be an Alone mode player, but by any chance…
“What floor were you on? I heard the other day that it was on the 77th floor.”
“The 78th floor.”
“and. You are fast too.”
Kim Hwi-yeon burst into admiration. However, Hassan’s reaction was greater than that. His eyes widened as if they would fall out.
“The 78th floor…”?”
“Why are you like that?”
Kim Hwi-yeon tilted her head. Hassan couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
“What the hell… how did you get there…
“It’s not just Taesan. Players Lee Tae-
yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok are also clearing the Alone mode at a fast pace.”
“Could the two be…
“Are they in the late 40th floor? Probably.”
Hassan was at a loss for words.
‘What is this…
He was now on the opposite side of the 40th floor of Alone Mode.
And the other hardmode players in India had just entered the 60th floor. It was an overwhelming difference.
‘…Still, would it have been annihilated if Kang Tae-san hadn’t been there?’
“Why am I like that?”
A moment of fear crossed Hassan’s face. Kim Hwi-yeon asked cautiously. Hassan hurriedly managed his expression.
“no.”
Kim Hwi-yeon was embarrassed by the unknown reaction. I couldn’t figure out what Hassan was thinking.
“This is it.” Kim Hwi-yeon
took
Hasan right in front of the holy ground .
Hassan looked blankly at the golden realm and asked.
“Can I go in and take a look?”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
Taesan replied. Hassan stepped into the Holy Land.
“ah.”
Hassan groaned involuntarily.
A golden aura covered his whole body. I felt fullness that I had never felt before, and the fatigue of my mind completely
disappeared.
‘ This is…
a power that is not considered human.
Hassan stared blankly at Taesan.
* * *
“What the hell is that?”
Hwiyeon Kim grumbled.
Hassan
stayed still with a shocked face for a while, then quietly left.
Kim Hwi-yeon grabbed him, but to no avail.
I never knew what the other person was thinking or what they wanted.
“Are you thinking of collaborating with us or not?”
“You will find out before long.”
Taesan said calmly.
Before long, players from Russia and Mongolia also arrived.
Unlike Indian players, they
didn’t distance themselves at all.
But their eyes weren’t that good either.
I couldn’t know exactly because it was before we talked in detail, but somehow I felt contempt and contempt for them.
All the players gathered in chaos.
A system window appeared quietly.
