I guess I stand out even to the Taoist.

I feel eyes on me. And between them stands something that is not human. I see someone who looks like an animal but is wearing human clothes.

Something that wasn’t human came looking for me, but there was a reason why I didn’t have a slightly biased eye. At least I thought I would have to go to a place where there were gods to see it, but I didn’t expect to see it starting from here.

People don’t remember things they don’t care about at all in detail. So even if they search their memories, they can’t easily see if such things exist.

If there was a race I hated because I was racist, I would remember them with disgust, but there was no such person among the dead gods and Taoists.

Based on my faded memories, there are only good people here.

Well, it’s the opposite of a monster, right?

I followed the Taoist priest and ended up in a place that looked like an elevator. Then the elevator floated into the air and went up.

Without any string-like devices, the box just floated up. The main building of the Cheonmasingyo Church also had steel wires and mechanical devices, but this one was a bit more special.

It doesn’t move in a straight line, but rather in a graceful curve as it ascends to the island floating in the sky. And instead of stopping at the top of the island, it stops in the middle and approaches the rock.

It looked like it was going to hit the rock, but it went right through it.

I can see the swaying of an imaginary curtain that looks like a real rock but is not real as I pass through it.

While I was secretly amazed by the hologram, the box reached a place that looked like a Naruto. Then the door opened and I came out.

Looking around, I see a huge octagonal passageway with wood and stones floating in the air and moving around.

The passage is longer than the size of the mountain seen from the outside. If you go inside through this passage, you will reach Kunlun, where the immortals live.

“I’ll stop here. This is where the gods reside, so I can’t go in, so I’ll leave now.”

We greeted the Taoist monk politely. After receiving the greeting, the Taoist monk got on the box we had just come in and went down straight away.

I’m left alone.

I know the way, so I can just go in. No, there isn’t really a way to begin with. This is a single road, and if I go straight, I can enter the world where the gods live.

But I didn’t go because I wasn’t told to.

If you wait, there will be someone who will come out to meet you.

And you’re left alone. If you go inside without knowing what’s going on, you’ll be burned. You might get suddenly attacked.

The security devices at the original entrance were strong.

In other words, I’m scared. I’m scared. I wonder if it’s not so strong that I can’t do anything about it.

It’s not time to die yet.

At least until I met the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

So I just stayed still, and after a while a man walked over.

I’m taller than the average man of this age. I’m a tall man who’s tall enough to be slightly higher than me.

“I came to see you because you haven’t come inside even after waiting. My name is Bohyun Jinin. What’s wrong?”

It’s a common saying that walking is the natural thing to do, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. Especially not for someone who doesn’t know what’s in front of them.

Instead of complaining like I always do, I just laid out the facts.

“Hello. My name is Chosul. I was standing still because I thought the time was off.”

Among those who are originally in a higher position, those who want to package their authority try to show their dignity by appearing late to the place where they are supposed to appear.

For example, a meeting. It’s an expression of confidence that the meeting can start only if you come.

But if the gods share the same emotional system as humans, then the expression this person is making is one of bewilderment.

That means, it’s not like you came late on purpose to impose a superior-subordinate relationship on me.

“You could have just come. Is this your first time in Kunlun Mountain?”

“Yes. It’s my first time.”

Then Bohyun Jin-in smiled brightly and began to explain various things about Kunlun Mountain. I thought a big, muscular man would come out and try to have a go, but he turned out to be a really nice guy.

The man in my faded memories gives off a faint sparkle, saying, “This isn’t it.”

So you know that the time series is also subtly strange, right? You should know by now that the work and reality are different, so why is it like this?

I followed the innocent-speaking Bodhisattva into Kunlun Mountain.

As you walk along the passage for a while, you will see a forest and floating stones inside.

At first glance, it appears to have passed through the floating island they first entered through, but in reality, the island served as a gate.

The color of the sky is also subtly strange, and strange creatures pass through the islands.

Bohyeon Jin-in was happy to have a guest, so he explained the charms of Kunlun Mountain for a long time. While he was doing that, he guided me somewhere. I thought he was going to take me to a room, but he actually guided me to a pavilion with a great view of the surrounding area.

He sat me down here and stood across from me, looking at me and opening his mouth.

“This is Kunlun Mountain. Excuse me, but I heard you came to see the original Heavenly Lord. May I ask why you came?”

occasion.

Yongmura.

Yeah, now that I think about it, there was something like that.

“First of all, I came here to inform you that I fought with the leader of the Tongcheon sect.”

Then he looked sympathetic.

“You fought a scary person. Did you come to Kunlun Mountain to ask for help? I will try to judge the right and wrong of the matter, but if you came to Kunlun to ask for help, don’t worry, you won’t be sent away carelessly.”

There is a face with a faint fear.

When I search through Daegon’s memories, I don’t see this person. Did he fight Daegon’s subordinates or something? There is a deep sense of fear buried in the faint fear, so it is highly likely that he fought at least when Jeolgyo invaded Cheonkyo.

“That’s not why I came here. I came here to meet the original Heavenly Lord in relation to that matter.”

He frowned at those words. It wasn’t the kind of look that said, “I’m looking for the Primordial Heavenly Lord, so how dare you look for him?”

“The original Heavenly Lord does not meet people much, so it is difficult to meet him even if you call him. Since I also act as the representative of the original Heavenly Lord, if there is anything you can say, please feel free to tell me. If that is difficult, I will try to arrange for you to meet the original Heavenly Lord.”

I guess the vertical relationship isn’t that severe, surprisingly?

If a typical class society is like the floors of a building, this is like the stairs. I thought that Taoism would have excessive class fixation like the Marine Corps, but I was wrong.

In the memories of the freshman, most people obeyed orders from above without complaint, and when there was something to do, they stepped forward and did it. So I thought there would be a penalty for not doing it, but it was not obedience born from such a coercive culture.

It’s more of a culture of responsible people doing what needs to be done here.

Of course, if there were a lot of gentle people like this, strange orders wouldn’t have been given in the first place, so if it was the right thing to do, they would have done it without hesitation.

The Human Society Heaven Edition is a sentiment of faded memories.

Of course, being obedient doesn’t mean that you listen to every order. If a superior becomes corrupt or does something bad, these people will not hesitate to bring him down and judge him.

So, can we say that society is sharing responsibility equally?

“First, first. I’ll blame you.”

“Yes?”

“Cheonma Shingyo. Or the Demonic Cult. Or the breeding facility of the leader of Tongcheon Cult. Someone who lived there like family died.”

Immediately, Bohyun Jin’s expression hardened. I think he realized where I came from.

“So you came all the way here to criticize them? We do not apologize for the subjugation. It was certainly an evil deed to the people living there, but if we left them alone, something dangerous would have happened. And you, too, have that ominous purple color.”

“Destroying the Cheonma Shingyo was the right choice.”

So I told him he made the right choice. Bohyun Jin-in looked at me with a very surprised expression.

“The Cheonmasingyo is a group that teaches people to kill from a young age, destroying their personality, and forces unconditional obedience from those of lower rank by putting bugs in their bodies. And that group is also a place where the leader of the Tongcheon religion raises hosts to create his own kind.”

Surprisingly, this is true. Gu Seong-yong had guessed this but ignored it, and Cheon-ma did not know.

Looking back at history, it is clear that the power of Daegon was the foundation that allowed the Cheonmasingyo to grow its influence, but with the exception of Woljedang, there was no influence of severing the sect.

If I were to find an example from my faded memory, I would say that I was smuggling hallucinogens, and to hide that, I opened a cafe. Since I wasn’t trying to make a profit, I sold them at a low price, and the store was packed.

People working in the store don’t know that they are working as a cover for an illegal organization.

That was the relationship between Cheonmasingyo and the severance of ties. Woljedang acted as the store manager. However, in order to easily cut off Cheonmasingyo if something happened, it remained as a small organization that took charge of the sacrificial rites and insects.

An organ that restricts human actions and controls the human body.

The Cheonmasingyo was a mixture of all those things.

“That kind of group is a scourge that must be eliminated immediately when viewed from the perspective of human history. You did the right thing.”

Bohyun Jin-in looks at me with a trembling expression.

“But, did you come here to criticize me?”

“It’s a separate matter to want to blame someone close to it for being murdered.”

After thinking about what I said for a while, Bohyun Jin nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. No matter how evil a person is, they have family and friends, and it’s not strange to feel emotional when they die, regardless of whether they committed a crime or not.”

So don’t tell me you’re sorry. That’s right.

I don’t apologize because my actions were not wrong.

For example, a big dog suddenly bit a child. The dog was killed to save the child. However, the big dog was a dog that someone had raised with great care. The person who raised the big dog can blame the man who killed the dog. However, the man who killed the dog does not need to apologize.

Because you did the right thing.

You are free to criticize, but you are also free to respond.

anyway.

I finished the little things I wanted to do.

“And the second. About the Tongcheon Church leader.”

Before getting into the main topic, let’s prepare to do what you really want to do.

“I killed the leader of Tongcheon Church.”

At my words, Bohyun Jin-in suddenly stood up. That’s right.

At one time, the Tianjiao and the Zhejiao fought to the brink of extinction. Although the Tianjiao won, it was a narrow victory, and although the Zhejiao lost, it was not a defeat by a large margin.

Now the other side is saying that it is dead.

It’s hard to know if this is true or false.

But at least I think that Bohyun Jin understands what position I stand in.

“I think this qualifies me to meet the Primordial Heavenly Lord. What do you think?”

Knowing what this would sound like to him, I asked the question.

This is a threat.

A person this powerful calls the Primordial Heavenly Lord in front of you.

Go and call someone high up.

At my words, Bohyun Jin stood there, rolled his eyes diligently, and then nodded.

“I will summon the original Heavenly Lord.”

“Thank you.”

I have been talking so far.

Even when criticized, he did not use violence, and no matter what happened, he waited quietly, patiently, and waited.

How do I appear to good people?

Do you think I look like someone you can have a conversation with?

If you run away openly, it will be hard to catch you, but it is right to step forward to talk. I am sorry that I unknowingly threw the most important person to the monster as food. Bohyunjinin.

But I came here to eat like a monster.

Hehehe.
