Chapter 974

#974. It won’t be easy

* * *

Slowly.

let out a breath

What comes out mixed with that breath is dense psionics.

The very deep and powerful energy created through resonance disperses in the air as clear as fog.

Unconsciously chasing the remnants of that energy, what came to her was an intense throbbing pain rising from her limbs and body.

And it was a huge loss.

As if an arm had fallen…

Or rather, as if all parts of the body, such as the head and torso, had been lost and only one arm was left.

Accidents slow down.

running out of power

mind goes blank

In a strange sadness she had never felt before, she quietly opened her mouth.

“The aftereffects are bigger than expected.

“It is the first time in history that the Daera Extinction Formation has actually been completed, so the predictions are wrong.”

Rose also muttered in a voice mixed with fatigue.

It wasn’t just her.

Charlotte Yekatrice Ainsha Hasneti Maia. Because everyone was looking tired.

It wasn’t just because of the dragon psionic that had been amplified so much that even the dragon’s body could not handle it.

Unleash the great annihilation.

The moment when everyone’s consciousness became one.

The overwhelming sense of omnipotence they felt.

The feeling of having reached the level of transcendence beyond the absolute and then falling back was giving their hearts a shock as if a hole had been pierced in their consciousness and soul.

Naturally, of course, I would have to recuperate for several months.

If the fight was prolonged, it wouldn’t be strange if he became a disabled person due to the aftereffects.

But fortunately, the aftereffects they are feeling right now are not to the extent that they need recuperation.

The reason is two.

Because one was quickly defeated.

And the other was because I had already had a similar experience.

“…I guess I should thank him.”

“That’s right. I trained thanks to Lee. It would have been dangerous otherwise.”

“You can’t believe that the experience of suffering from your brother will be helpful in this way. Anyway, it’s something to live for a long time in the world?”

Catherine giggled.

When everyone made love to Limon.

If it hadn’t been for the experience of sharing each other’s senses and being pickled in pleasure and joy.

And if the 8th dragon psionic, which flowed back and permeated all four limbs at the end of an ignorant explosion, had not protected their minds and bodies.

At least he would have had to suffer much worse aftereffects than he does now.

“Nothing particularly strange. Even the Great Law of Yin-Yang Happiness is mixed with the principle of Daera Destruction.”

“…If you put it like that, I think the side effects are rather severe for the Great Law of Yin-Yang Joy. Thanks to that, we’re so broken that we can’t live without you now.”

“Who would have imagined that eight people would do crazy things using the Great Law of Yin-Yang Joy together?”

“Ahaha I admit that!”

So while each of them is suffering from aftereffects and still calming the seething psionics.

Li Qingyu said calmly.

“Anyway, it’s fortunate that we were able to defeat the reincarnated lord before the aftereffects of Daera Extinction became serious.”

“That’s certainly fortunate…”

He blurted out his words slightly.

Rose turned her head.

And he continued talking quietly as he looked at the remains of the Heavenly Horse, which had been torn apart without even remaining a prototype by the 72 different types of learning that raged like a storm.

“What do you think will happen if the reincarnation lord is resurrected next time?”

That moment.

Everyone’s expressions became serious.

The reincarnated monarch was a fraudulent being who came back stronger every time he died.

If he became stronger than this and was resurrected, he wasn’t sure if he would be able to deal with it even if he spread the Great Destruction Surge next time.

However, Li Qingyu lightly shook his head.

“Do not worry. No matter how strong a reincarnated monarch may be, there will be limits.”

“Are you sure?”

“yes. I think I have a little idea now how he was able to resurrect each time.”

While unfolding the Daera Extinction.

Li Qingyu slightly curved her lips as she recalled what she had only vaguely learned thanks to the amplified psionic empathy.

“After all, there are three ways to prevent his resurrection.”

“I would like to know how.”

“That’s…”

Wriggling.

What is the way to stop the Heavenly Demon?

When the six princesses looked at Li Qingyu in curiosity.

The bloody brilliance protruding from between the pieces of the Heavenly Demon that had been shattered turned into a flash of light and flew towards them.

more secretive.

again as fast as the wind.

The moment everyone’s attention was distracted.

Tired of the brilliance that was accurately shot out of the way, they couldn’t react.

only one person.

Except for the girl who was the first to feel it and move.

“Everyone be careful!”

The moment when Li Qingyu jumped out and spread her wings of shadow to block the other princesses.

―An evil starlight penetrated her.

* * *

When you open your eyes.

It was pitch black that greeted her.

It was just an empty, deep place with no sky, no ground, no body, so strange that it even made me feel afraid.

But she wasn’t embarrassed.

It was because this place was already familiar to Li Qingyu, if anyone else would have known.

It was for this reason that Li Qingyu was able to calmly open his mouth.

“Did you say fabled deungseon?”

Quietly.

resounding self-talk.

“The process of forming an immortal spirit and discarding the old body like a cicada sheds its skin and becoming a freshman regardless of lifespan.”

it’s a folktale.

When the Imoogi obtains Yeouiju and ascends to heaven, it becomes a dragon, and a human becomes a Buddha by cultivating discipline.

It was one of the common tales stemming from the desire to escape the limits of mortals and become immortal.

However, the anecdotes about fable deungseon, such as Shi Hae-seon, Eum-sin, and Yang-sin, had parts that were surprisingly similar to those that were created.

In the end, in that he regards his body as only a shell to be thrown away someday, and tries to become a spiritual being and gain immortality.

That is Wonyoung.

As if out of fluid.

It was an immortal soul and alter ego that would not die no matter how destroyed the body was.

“However, it is said that sometimes those who have not abandoned their lingering attachments or desires for the world still fail to reach the top spot even after achieving immortality, and fall back to the ground.”

And Li Qingyu knew.

Constellations have been interfering with the world since the distant past.

Among the countless legends floating around in the folklore, there are those that were created under the influence of constellations.

If so, it wouldn’t be strange if there was a constellation that originated from an anecdote about such immortals.

“And in order to challenge the Uhwa Deungseon again, they steal someone else’s body and build discipline from the beginning.”

That’s why I was able to notice.

The secret to the endless resurrection of the reincarnated monarch.

That it was possible because it had never been resurrected in the first place.

In other words, since the first reincarnation in the past, the existence of the reincarnation monarch was already dead.

According to the contract, the existence of the reincarnated monarch, who occupied the human soul and memory, has lived in his place, imitating him.

In order to minimize the side effects of erosion, he sealed his memories and mistook himself for being the reincarnated monarch.

“A snake that didn’t become a dragon.”

“No, instead of becoming a dragon, the Imoogi chose to repeat endlessly stealing and eating other people’s Yeouiju.”

“That must be your true identity.”

Either for the salvation of the contractor.

whether to protect oneself.

Unlike other Constellations that try to exert their power only to a minimum, it is a Constellation that actively erodes its contractors and takes over their bodies.

Thus, the providence of the world, which should have been received by the newly born Constellation, was intercepted.

An existence that has gained enormous power even by the standards of a constellation by repeatedly lowering its rank and then building it up again.

However, instead of the world he created himself, he uses the stolen body as his own constellation, so he can never fully use his power.

“Isn’t that so, Heavenly Demon?”

[….]

“May I call you ‘The Keeper of the Rolling Reincarnation’?”

[A girl who doesn’t even know the principle of the highest goodness has noticed that far.]

Even though it’s in the dark without a single light.

A man who can see so clearly in it.

Li Qingyu was not shaken even when he saw the Heavenly Horse appearing in front of him, as if it were an illusion that it had become flesh and scattered.

I just calmly listened to his words.

“I don’t know what the principle of leading is, but I understand that your technique is famous.”

divorce law.

Sijo regression.

Seventy-two species created by seven dragons.

Considering that the purpose was to resurrect through a previous life, the method of the Heavenly Demon could be said to be the completion of the two martial arts.

The seven dragons, which laid eggs and made all kinds of preparations, such as making seven dragons, only preserved their strength and soul.

As a result of not leaving memories and ego, she was reincarnated as a new being called the Seven Princesses.

Because no matter how many times you die, being able to reincarnate intact shows the greatness of the Heavenly Demon.

One problem.

“—That you intend to take away my body this time.”

What is the reason why I was forcibly drawn to this mental world the moment I came into contact with the Heavenly Demon’s Immortal Spirit?

Li Qingyu easily noticed.

Because she had done something similar before.

The only difference is that if Li Qingyu ate the black dragon god, who was the founder, at that time, the Heavenly Demon tried to devour her this time.

[Fortunately, you know. Even if I hadn’t rushed to punish you right away, I wouldn’t have taken all of you as a vessel.]

“Is that so?”

[…what did you mean?]

“It’s nothing. It’s just that there are limits to the usual expedients.”

[…]

“Isn’t the reason why you insisted on taking our bodies because the soul of the reincarnation lord can no longer endure the previous existence?”

It is said that it becomes stronger each time it is reincarnated, but it is actually an act of regaining its strength and memories as a Constellation.

It is close to the process of releasing the seal that the ‘keeper of the rolling reincarnation’ has put on himself by recalling his past life.

over and over again

regaining more power.

The closer you become to the Constellation, the more.

The soul and body of the reincarnated monarch, who already had only a shell left, must have been destroyed without enduring the enormous burden.

In the end, isn’t it because the shell of the reincarnated monarch reached its limit, so he had no choice but to find a new vessel?

The Heavenly Demon glared at Li Qingyu, who smiled and pointed out, with fearful eyes.

[You can say whatever you want. In the end, you will end up begging me for death.]

“Well, that won’t be easy.”

[You’ll know later.]

The Heavenly Demon was cynical.

There were many who resisted his erosion.

Even before being eroded by him, there were beings who had reached the absolute stage.

But the result is the same.

In the end, he took away his soul and body.

Each time he took their power and soul, he grew stronger.

Because it was so strong, if I used even a little too much force, the bowl would break, but it didn’t matter.

Because there were any number of dishes.

So he focused his mind.

To trample and destroy Li Qingyu’s spirit, to subdue him and make him a new vessel.

But….

[…?]

[….]

[…!]

Doubtful at first.

Doubt next time.

Distrust in the end.

A calm voice came to the ears of the Heavenly Demon, who had hardened as if he had seen such an impossibility.

“So I would have told you. It won’t be easy to eat me.”

twirling

Calm as always.

But with a meaningful smile.

Li Qingyu asked in the darkness as cozy as in his hometown.

“Did you really think that I, guessing the secret of my previous life, would not have noticed that you were targeting us?”

[You bitch! No way…!]

“There were three ways to prevent your resurrection.”

dreaming

The shadows move.

I wasn’t talking about wings.

All the night that filled this empty mental world, the darkness was approaching them with shimmering shadows.

“One is to use a sword to slash the soul.”

“One is to seal without killing.”

“And the last one…”

In the dark like that.

I waited in a spider web.

Like a spider watching its prey caught in a trap.

Looking at the Heavenly Demon with extremely deep and calm eyes, Li Qingyu smiled bewitchingly.

“-Eating them in reverse.”
