Chapter 1047: The Divine Tree and the Master.

Supreme Heaven said:

‘I will obtain the Myriad Realms.’

The being whom I serve said so.

Because Supreme Heaven declared that His will was so. He merely follows that will.

The pair of wings He gave were also a command to fly high, imbued with His will.

The man wandered the firmament, bearing His will.

‘You shall obtain the Myriad Realms.’

The Master said so.

How does one obtain the Myriad Realms? The man wondered, but he did not voice it.

It didn’t matter even if he had doubts. His will had become his own will.

Moreover, since he was worried, the Master had also said:

‘Do not worry, my servant.’

‘Everything will unfold according to Heaven’s will.’

Since Supreme Heaven said so, it would be accomplished.

The man believed it to be so.

---

Guuuuuuuuuuu—!!!

The ash-colored sky was not calm. Beneath it, a faint, shining membrane spread out. A deep blue membrane enveloped the surroundings.

It was the flow of life force, scattered because it couldn’t be fully obtained. As that swaying life force spread like clouds, covering the sky…

“Hmm.”

The man exhaled softly and looked ahead.

He saw the fallen Ya-rang and the back of the guy crouching in front of her.

There was no movement. Ya-rang, who had been attacked by him, had fallen, but the one whose movement was unseen was the being before him.

A Dragon.

An arrogant race that should have long ago been extinguished by the Master of the Myriad Realms.

They were once a race that tried to influence not only the Myriad Realms but also Supreme Heaven and the Azure Heaven.

The Dragon Emperor, who broke the rules and tried to become the world itself.

It was known that he had received the world’s wrath and was sealed by the Myriad Realms.

“How…”

…is a life form whose Master disappeared standing here before me?

The man questioned it, but.

“Does it matter?”

Now, even that didn’t matter. The man casually spread his palm and looked at it.

A pure white palm came into view. Normally, only that would have been visible, but now, the man’s gaze saw much more.

“How radiant.”

Beautiful and vibrant.

Thanks to the grace of Supreme Heaven, he contained immense vitality within his entire body.

It was thanks to telling the Leader it was the Master’s will and having him prepare the vessel by widening it beforehand.

His body’s level had been greatly elevated.

An incomparable body compared to his original form.

‘This…’

Is this godhood?

A supreme and great being capable of becoming a Master.

The body of all things, capable of fully containing the power of a world.

It was a vessel that could only be obtained with the world’s permission. An unfathomable difference in level was felt, incomparable to mere life forms.

“Good…”

Become the Master of the Myriad Realms.

Hearing those words rendered all his doubts meaningless.

Supreme Heaven always had a purpose.

However.

“If there’s anything regrettable…”

…it’s truly regrettable that I couldn’t become a much more perfect vessel than this.

If the problem started from the beginning, the first issue was that the Leader fellow was far stupider than anticipated.

The second problem was that the existence here was discovered too early.

Measured in time, that would be about fifty to a hundred years.

If only that much more time had been gained, it would have been sufficient.

It wasn’t possible.

And the third…

“Is because of you.”

The guy crouching there, showing no movement.

That guy who appeared in the Myriad Realms, looking like a Dragon, sabotaging his plans.

That guy was the problem.

Perhaps everything mentioned earlier were useless thoughts.

Because if only that guy hadn’t existed, there would have been no problems in the first place.

Or maybe not?

Perhaps. Perhaps…

“Perhaps it was because of that guy in the first place.”

How long ago was that? For the man, it was just a moment ago.

The outsider the Master brought, claiming him as a new general.

The Leader had furiously refused, and while that Yu-sa fellow seemed to like him and chased after him…

…he was ultimately betrayed.

It was because that guy disappeared with the seed of the Divine Tree.

Disappearing like that, he heard they established some unknown organization called ‘Hwasan’.

What’s strange is…

“The Master just left that guy alone.”

The Master of the Myriad Realms disappeared with the seed of the Divine Tree, yet letting this go unhindered made no sense.

It seems Supreme Heaven was correct about this.

‘Something happened to the Master of the Myriad Realms.’

He recalled the decree: ‘Something happened to the Master of the Myriad Realms.’ It seemed correct. Considering the talk about the Bottomless Pit and the Master’s subsequent actions…

Something was wrong with the Myriad Realms. And…

“I won’t miss this opportunity.”

The man had no intention of letting this opportunity slip by.

Hududuk,

Potential was contained within the body where life force gathered and coalesced.

It was the sensation of the very air in the void becoming the source of energy.

Power surged.

“Is this what it means to be a Master?”

A half-master.

A body that hasn’t yet become the Master of the world, but holds the potential to be.

Even that alone made the difference in level dimensional.

A difference in level so vast that the lowly couldn’t even dare to look up.

The man took a step, feeling that.

No sound was heard.

Even the ground seemed to bow its head to his presence.

“Have you given up?”

He asked.

Ya-rang’s frail body was breathing softly.

It felt like almost half of her was torn away, and if she couldn’t regenerate, she would surely die.

She wouldn’t regenerate.

Because the man hadn’t allowed it.

Ya-rang began to slowly die.

He thought as he looked at her.

“Surprising.”

Honestly, it was surprising.

All Ya-rang possessed was fast movement and information capacity, yet…

…to think she was hiding this level of power.

Even to think she could break through the level and launch an attack…

What could that be? It’s a power I’ve never seen before.

“To deal a blow to divinity.”

Power of a lower level shouldn’t even be able to touch it.

Yet, the power that pierced through it…

Was it divine power? No.

It was something else entirely.

What could it be? The question briefly arose, but it wasn’t that important now.

It was power that would be eliminated anyway.

“Since it will disappear now.”

He displayed his changed level.

Kureureureung–!!

The sky cried out. The ash-colored sky, assimilated with his emotions, gradually transformed.

Clouds gathered. Although this was a space granted solely to the man by Supreme Heaven, now that his level had risen, it would soon affect the entire Myriad Realms.

Although he couldn’t yet contend with the Master of the Myriad Realms.

“She won’t be able to move anyway.”

Now is precisely the right time.

Meaning that even his lacking vessel could be compensated for by the circumstances.

Recalling that, the man approached the one who was crouching.

“You seem to have already given up.”

Behind the Ya-rang whose breath was growing faint, the guy remained utterly silent.

He approached the young Dragon.

It possessed incomprehensible strength, even compared to a General.

He wondered if it might be the next Dragon Emperor after the previous one died, but…

“That wouldn’t be it.”

He had seen at least a glimpse of the Dragon Emperor’s strength.

Mere strength like that could hardly compare to the Dragon Emperor. It was probably the most significant among the surviving Dragons.

Thinking so, he moved his hand.

“Now, die.”

There would be no more anomalies.

Everything would flow according to Supreme Heaven’s will.

Thinking so, the man moved his hand.

Ssk-!

His hand swept out lightly.

But.

“Hm?”

Something was strange.

“What is it?”

“Why is nothing happening? Potent energy should have poured out, making them vanish without a trace, but nothing happened.”

“What is it?”

As he observed the situation with bewilderment…

“Huh?”

He realized belatedly.

“What the….”

The man’s arm, which had swept out, was gone. The marks of it being torn off were clearly visible.

What was happening? As the man’s eyes widened in disbelief…

Tuk.

The sound of something falling was heard. The man’s gaze turned towards it.

The man’s arm lay on the ground.

At the same time, the one who had been sitting rose to his feet.

It was the being the man had called the young Dragon. Just as he was about to frown upon seeing it…

“You…?”

The Dragon looked back.

At that moment.

Kung-!

The man’s vision went black.

Pasasasa!

The sound of something collapsing was heard.

Debris fell from the sky, hitting the man’s face.

“…?”

“Where am I?” Inside a building.

The building he had burst into was collapsing. The man immediately got out.

Kugugung.

As he emerged, clearing the debris, the distance felt wrong.

It was the edge.

The edge of the space granted by Supreme Heaven.

He was supposed to be in the center, but it was strangely far.

Could it be?

“…Did I lose consciousness?”

Had he lost consciousness?

Lost consciousness briefly from the impact while flying this far?

“That’s impossible…”

How could that happen? It made no sense.

Frowning, he spread his wings.

Hwaahwak–!!!

Three pairs of white wings unfurled as he accelerated. His body lifted, and he flew towards the center.

His vision shifted in an instant. Before he knew it, the man’s body had arrived at the center.

“…Hm?”

Upon arriving, the man narrowed his eyes.

They’re gone.

“Where did they go?”

The two who should have been there were gone.

As soon as he saw that, the man scanned the earth’s energy, needing to find them if they had hidden somewhere.

He couldn’t feel them even searching here.

Perhaps not the earth, but the sky?

As soon as he raised his energy to ascertain that…

“…!”

He felt it.

Right behind him-

Kwaak-!

Keok!

Kung–!!!

The man received the impact and crashed to the ground.

An immense shockwave erupted, shattering the ground.

Kwadeudeuk-!!

Keueuk–!!

Under the crushing force from above, the man struggled. He drew out his strength, but couldn’t push it away.

Turning his eyes, he confirmed who was pressing down on him.

There…

Keureureureureu—.

There was a beast armored in white fur.

A beast with a massive body and violet eyes, possessing multiple, very white, massive tails.
