In the end, all that was left was to wait four years.

And there was that uneasy feeling of emptiness where something should have been.

I feel lost in a vast ocean.

I am the sea, so maybe there is no path.

Even if you worry like that, time passes.

When the sun goes down, I eat dinner with Soo-oh, and when night falls, I sleep on the porch, feeling the night air.

And when morning comes again, I hold Soo and tell him the stories I know. Most of them are stories of justice and morality, adorned with dreams and hopes, and other than that, there are a few simple common sense stories.

I only did really basic math.

I hated doing anything with numbers, so I couldn’t help it.

Anyway, I am neither a parent nor a teacher, so I wouldn’t have done it if Soo-oh didn’t want to do it.

Soo calls me by my name and speaks informally to me. It’s clear that he doesn’t see me as a parent.

And as far as I know, Soo’s family is alive. Soo wasn’t abandoned by his family.

Because all the children around the Cheonmasin Church are forcibly taken in. When they reach a certain age, they are taken to the Cheonmasin Church, receive brainwashing education, and have bugs injected into their bodies.

And Soo also knows that that is beyond the scope of what parents can do.

So instead of treating me like family, I’m wondering if they’re just going to treat me like they did at the main office.

Someday, when I get older, I might think about returning to my family.

No, there’s something going on with Cheonma. It’s possible that Soo-oh isn’t thinking as I guessed.

It’s not a bad idea to ask once.

“So-oh. Do you miss your family?”

The room is so hot in the summer that I spend most of my time on the porch.

At my question, Soo, who had been lying on the porch as if pressed against the wall, raised his head.

“Why is that?”

He’s making an expression like, “Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“Don’t human children want to see their parents?”

Most people know that. Even in a time when familialism was considerably broken down, the relationship between parents and children, except for siblings, was not a relationship that could be easily broken.

So, generally speaking, wouldn’t you like to see your Soodo family?

But Soo looked around and asked me.

“How about the first snow?”

“Both of Cho-seol’s parents are already dead.”

It was because the previous leader of the sect was trying to catch Eunjae’s descendants to reveal the secret of Cheonma Shingong. In fact, he was very close to finding the secret.

The Heavenly Demonic Art that Eunjae used was to fight using me.

And since you asked Cho-seol, not me, I told you about Cho-seol’s condition. I don’t know what happened to my parents when they were a man in my faded memories.

“I see. We should meet sometime. Yeah”

That’s a strangely cold attitude.

“Don’t you really want to meet me? You remember your parents, right?”

“Remember. That’s why I don’t want to meet you like that.”

I tried to understand Soo’s answer. But I failed. If you remember, wouldn’t you want to meet?

Looking back at Soo’s memories, she didn’t have a bad relationship with her parents. Of course, her older brother and sister disappeared, and only her younger brother and younger sister remained, but that was normal in that neighborhood.

No matter which house you go to, there are no children in the middle age group. They all go to Cheonmasingyo. And only half of them return alive.

It’s because there are many cases of death within the Cheonmasin Church.

Of course, not everyone is like that. Looking at Gapjae’s memories, those who live in the village west of Cheonmasingyo are not taken to the main church.

The village attached to the west is Cheonmasingyo, and there are other villages besides it.

To put it simply, the Blue House is the headquarters of the Cheonmasin Church, and the village attached to the west of the headquarters is Seoul. And the villages that So-oh was taken to are cities in the provinces.

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. Why are you suddenly asking that?”

Soo-oh asks with a strangely horned attitude.

“I was just suddenly curious.”

It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, and if it were yesterday, I would have been asking whether I could live well if I became independent like this.

It’s been four years.

So it became a question of nothing.

Somehow Soo crawled towards me, grabbed my body, and buried his face in mine. I wondered if it was hot, but he held on really well.

I was wondering how long this would last, but eventually Soo-oh said it was too hot and left.

And around that time, the Heavenly Horse approached.

It’s already past lunchtime.

I got up from my seat.

“Let’s eat lunch first.”

“Wow!”

Soo-oh got up from his seat.

And for the first time, we had lunch together, including the whole Cheonma before we had lunch.

By the way, he said that Gastrodia elata is very tasteless and he was sad, asking if I eat this every day.

Well, it’s true that the food that Cheonma eats at Cheonma Shingyo is not very tasty.

And after cleaning up, the two began to practice.

I was going to wait until Soo-oh trained on his own and then go to the village with Cheon-ma. Then suddenly, it occurred to me that it might take too long.

So I told Cheonma that I would walk to the village first and then left the house.

It’s time to build a harvester.

This time, when you go to the village, take Cheonma with you.

If there is an unknown group, it is important to go with the highest person.

And if the harvesters keep getting kidnapped, it’s easy to tell.

I crossed the burning ground and headed towards the village. I stood near the village entrance and waited for the celestial horse.

And soon after, a celestial horse appeared, crossing the path I had been walking for quite some time.

Isn’t it faster than most cars?

“Why is it so fast?”

“It’s a heavenly horse.”

It’s funny to think that’s the answer, but I agreed that it wasn’t so wrong and went into the village with her.

As we enter the village, the atmosphere is clearly different.

When I went in alone, it was just a glance from someone who was secretly peeking, but now it is filled with awe and reverence. And wherever the Heavenly Horse walks, people bow to him as a greeting.

If it’s religion, that’s what it’s supposed to be.

The Cheonmasingyo is more of a gathering of people who worship military force, without any written rules like doctrine. But it is still a religion.

No, strictly speaking, there is only one place where there is doctrine.

Monthly salary.

Only there, things are going so differently. If Cheonmasingyo is made up of religion and military force, then it is in charge of religion alone.

The horse is more like a symbol.

Of course I didn’t tell Cheonma that. I said something about the sword and such, but can’t people’s thoughts always change?

I have no intention of telling anyone that I see things through the eyes of a harvester, because it’s one of my few weapons.

And I’m not an idiot, knowing that the weapon has a weakness. Not knowing exactly what the Harvester is thinking is pretty fatal.

Cheonma and I walked straight through the crowd of people bowing down.

“Who are you trying to bless?”

As we reached the center of the village, Cheonma stopped walking and asked me.

So I looked around.

There are many people who have seen their faces. Some of them are limping. They were originally healthy people.

I have no intention of touching them yet.

Ugh.

Yes, I make plans spontaneously.

The place where the power of the Heavenly Demon reaches. Perhaps this is the moment when the Heavenly Demon has the highest favorability. A situation where he can grant any request I make.

It’s an adventure here.

Since Woljedang is so secretly hidden, it would be difficult to see it unless Cheonma openly destroys Cheonma Shingyo.

I originally wanted to empower the oppressed, but more than that, I would like to gain the knowledge that would allow me to summon myself.

“Monthly Lord. I’ll give it to that person.”

Cheonma’s expression was filled with doubt.

“The monthly lord? Why him?”

I pointed to the village with my finger.

“The person who shared me is missing here. You remember him. The man who shared the fruit with me and Soo out of good will. ”

I raised my voice.

“You trampled on the goodwill you gave me. I have to meet the Lord of the Month.”

They package it as if they’re just going to ask for forgiveness. In reality, they don’t intend to ask for forgiveness. After all, I’m the worst of the worst.

If I can get some warmth, I don’t care what happens.

But the element of someone standing up for the lowly is very important.

Appearance and justification.

I experienced its power firsthand in the first world.

You have to put what you learn to good use.

First, let’s make it clear who’s right.

“Cheonma. I am the power that the Cheonma Shingyo desires. Am I not?”

Cheonma said something like that before.

“That’s right. You are at the end of the Heavenly Demonic Sect. No, perhaps you are standing at the end of all destructive acts.”

Cheonma agreed.

“So if you reject me, you’re a heretic? Is the Wolje Party leader a heretic? Or not? Hehe. Let’s go see him.”

I scattered the sparks.

I made a joke as if I was the last of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and declared that anyone who rejected me was a bad person. I gave those who helped me with good intentions a reason to rebel.

A celestial maiden.

You gave me goodwill, saying you were from heaven. In return, I’ll let you use goodwill as a weapon. So when you get hurt, come to me. When your friend dies, come to me.

I’ll give you strength, so do whatever you want.

Arm yourself with good intentions and find the right path.

No matter how much blood flows down there, I will bless it.

I swallowed what I shouldn’t say yet, and said a few words criticizing the leader of the Wolje sect along with Cheonma, and repeatedly said that anyone who is reluctant to use my power is an enemy of the Cheonma Sect.

I went with Cheonma to find the Lord of Wolje.

Now is the time to gain knowledge.
