The next day, Cheonma came as if nothing had happened.

From the perspective of Cheonma, he doesn’t seem to care much about me, so I guess he thought as I wished.

It’s pretty much what you’d expect.

A dragon that flies between clouds, sprays rain, and then disappears, a tiger that can eat every living thing in the deep forest, a mother who kills her child and leaves a scar even if the child survives, a cold-shuddering monster from a strange world, it’s all the same.

Rather, if I were to choose something risky, I would immediately choose Mama, because the feeling is so different.

It’s a perspective on who kills more people. Even if you explain something abstract, if there is no basis for understanding, it will end up as a strange statement.

A candle that burns forever without nuclear bombs or fuel.

When asked which of these is scarier, people with little knowledge of physics would choose the nuclear bomb, while people with more knowledge of physics would choose fireworks.

Actually, we have something like that in our fireplace.

Looking at the fact that Cheonma and Soo can’t really feel anything strange, it doesn’t seem like Kira is consuming any unknown energy.

Anyway, I guess Cheonma doesn’t think that seriously about me.

So today continues to be another day like any other.

It would be nice if Soo-oh could become stronger like this, but it’s a shame to just waste time like this.

Maybe it’s because the Cheonmasingyo is in control, but even though I left the image of a person who can cure disabilities at Jeon Yang’s funeral, no one came.

Cho-seol’s age is still around 14 years old.

If you have time, yes.

It might be better to form a relationship of collusion with Cheonma and act with her as your backing.

The problem is that Cheonmasingyo is a religion.

Religion is something that cannot just leave other gods alone. Even in polytheism, the main god remains the same, and the gods that come from the side are demoted and then incorporated by mixing in their own colors.

Just as in faded memories, Buddhism spread to Hinduism and Buddha became an avatar of Vishnu.

I don’t feel bad about being under someone’s thumb at all, but the reason I hesitate is that I won’t be able to control it.

Last time, we didn’t control it at all, so it spread like wildfire and the world was ruined because of it.

Well, who knew that with extended harvesting seasons, glass bottles wouldn’t be able to hold up and would break?

To limit that, I think a secret society that is secretive and only benefits itself, such as the Freemasons, would be the most ideal.

If I use the treatment as bait to lure politicians, high-ranking officials, or the wealthy and turn them into harvesters, all the warmth of the people they kill will come to me.

The homework I have to do is to create a structure that can turn this around on its own.

Huh? This is a total pagan simulator… … .

I think that’s roughly correct.

How on earth would one go about creating an automatic warmth harvesting system in the second world?

While I was thinking about that, I saw Cheonma and Soo repeating certain movements in the yard.

From lunch to dinner.

Of course, I’m not the only one training. I also work out separately.

However, it is not a movement that requires internal energy like Soo-oh does, but rather an exercise to simply move the body.

In particular, I run a lot.

I run around this area like I did in the rocky desert back in Rebecca’s time.

One thing that is different from Rebecca’s time is that because Cho-seol is tall, she runs fast and doesn’t get bored when running.

And because they have different genes, they can run very fast and for a long time without getting tired easily.

Of course, it is incredibly slow compared to So-oh, who can fly and jump using a technique called Bo-beop.

There’s nothing we can do about it.

After finishing the exercise like that, Cheonma goes back, and Soo and I prepare dinner together. Since there is food sent by Cheonma Shingyo here and there, it is okay to eat it right away, but since we only have the ingredients, we have to cook.

So, by the time I prepare, eat, and clean up, it’s midnight.

There’s nothing to do here, so I go to bed early when the sun sets.

One day passes like that, two days pass.

At some point it started to get chilly, and eventually white crystals started falling from the sky.

It’s snow.

Winter has arrived.

The water below the cliff is frozen white, and the trees to the north are covered in white snow. Every time I breathe, my breath comes out, and I have to wear thick clothes.

The only good thing is that it’s not cold in the house.

The fire inside the fireplace is still there. Of course, since it is not an ondol structure, only the wall facing the fireplace is warm.

That should be enough to get you through the winter.

The funny thing is that I’m the only one who cares about those flames. Even if Cheonma doesn’t notice them since they’re only there for a little while, Soo-oh has never looked at the flames for too long.

Soo is a little uneasy.

What if you keep saying things like, “Once a flame is lit, it won’t go out”?

In fact, to keep a fire like that burning all winter long, there has to be a whole pile of firewood on one side of the house right now. Soo probably doesn’t know this.

I don’t know when I’ll have to make a bonfire somewhere else.

I look at my daily routine as it continues, keeping in mind what Soo needs to learn.

“Here, let the energy flow faster. If you let it go, the energy can easily flow back and cause the blood vessel to burst.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Soo-oh and Cheon-ma are still friendly with each other today.

Even though Soo-oh has developed feelings for Cheon-ma, Cheon-ma’s attitude has become very gentle.

In other words, Cheonma became fond of Soo-oh.

Hehehe.

Very good.

Once you get attached to someone, it’s hard to let them go. Just being by their side benefits me.

It’s only been half a year, and it’s been passed over so easily. To be honest, I’m worried whether Cheonma can properly fulfill his role as the leader of Cheonma Shingyo.

but.

There’s a difference between being alone from the beginning and losing someone and becoming alone.

They say that in the end, it’s people who fill loneliness, right?

Cheonma doesn’t meet anyone privately in the Cheonmasin Church’s main building unless it’s for work. So, this must be a private place.

Because you’re stupid.

Anyway. One.

When Cheonma is at the main building of Cheonma Shingyo, he works hard, so surprisingly, the evaluation of Cheonma within the church is not bad.

It’s actually on the good side.

yes.

Surprisingly, yes.

From the perspective of Byungil or Cheongung Dangju’s Dharma Guardian, there is no one among the Dangju who is currently very hostile towards Cheonma.

Rather, when the lords meet, they often say they are glad that Cheonma is acting like Cheonma, or that Jeonyang should have died a long time ago.

In my opinion, there was an incident where more than half of the ten factions rebelled against Cheonma, so it’s honestly surprising that the faction leader is still alive.

At least I thought they would execute one person as an example, but they just pretended it never happened, so there was no backlash. Cheonmasingyo quickly returned to normal, and things went on without a hitch.

In other words, it means that there are no major incidents.

Then what about the people below… … .

He accepted Cheonma more obediently than I expected.

If you look at it from the perspective of the harvester who was an ordinary person from the Gapjae or Cheongung Dangju side, and the harvester who gave us fruit at Jeonyang’s funeral, it is like that.

Some people think that Cheonma has completely changed into a different person, others say that heaven helped him, and there are many different opinions, but the conclusion is generally the same.

They say things are much better now than they were back in the old days.

Rather, there are those who say that the only bad thing is Jeon Yang, and that everything returned to normal after that person died. It’s really funny because it’s like the king’s reaction to the death of the evil spirit who was confusing him.

They only curse Jeon Yang.

yes.

There is no mention of Cheonma.

As if it were something that should not be spoken of, the current Cheonmasingyo only talks about how good life is.

Not only in open spaces, but also when drinking in a guest house, and even when drinking at home, he never talks about Cheonma except to praise his worldly skills.

I’m curious about how people view people whose gender and appearance have changed so much, but it’s a shame that I can’t see their reactions.

I sense a sense of awe and fear from them towards the object of their worship.

So, other than praise and compliments, no one speaks of Cheonma.

Honestly, I’m disappointed.

If you are strong, you should have a battlefield where you can become strong. But here, there are only livestock that are satisfied with their own rank.

Everyone can become a celestial horse during the harvest season, but no one puts in the effort.

Cheonmasingyo is a very static place.

I tried shaking it once, but it failed… … . Is it really better to go out if time is just passing by without gaining anything?

Soo-do follows Cheon-ma, and Cheon-ma also cherishes Soo-do.

I guess I can go by myself.

I looked down at my body and then back at the forest in the distance.

Outside the Cheonmasingyo Church.

Far away. Very far away.

A place you arrive at after crossing the forest to reach the city, and then crossing the city again several times.

There’s a stigma there.

He is often seen taking elixirs or sitting cross-legged in places where there are many monks.

Every time that happens, my content goes up and then stops. Even if it’s harvest time, it’s just losing warmth when it dies, so I wish the harvest time would come quickly.

Maybe it’s because it’s not completely mine, but even when Oh Myeong-seong kills someone, I don’t feel any warmth.

The gaze also shakes as if you are in a place with poor communication conditions, sometimes without hearing any sound, only hearing sound, or only seeing the inside of the body.

Still, I learned something.

That an intermediate state exists.

In other words, if this state continues for a long time, there is a possibility that they will develop means to counter me.

It’s a problem I’ve never thought about.

There was also something that I was proud of somewhere.

I’m injecting myself into the light, and no one can stop me.

But if you can stop it, you might be able to chase it away someday. That means making a harvester is also a delicate task.

Let’s be careful. I’m still at the bottom, eating from the bottom.

But you have to go out, even if it means taking a chance. In the place where Oh Myeong-seong lives, there are good people, ordinary people, and bad people.

A place that is so chaotic is the kind of place where I can easily gather people.

But, it’s stupid to just rush in.

I need to build up my strength until I can overcome some level of danger.

At least, after this body grows up to look like an adult… … .

Let’s go outside.
