The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 131 : Learning the Correct Way to Use the Profound Other (18)

Yoo Jin-sung, the former Heavenly Demon and the Mad World Heavenly Demon, was a person whose martial prowess was known to have reached the heavens among the tens of thousands of martial artists in the martial world.

The achievements he had accomplished were enough to change the entire history of the martial world.

I thought this was the first time I was actually seeing him.

That's right. I realized today that there are no coincidences in the world.

The law of causality.

Another name for the foundation of the world that can be glimpsed when one's ability reaches the heavens in any one field, regardless of martial prowess.

Everything that rolls in this world seems to be a product of coincidence, but if you look at its true nature, it was like a single script that was so complicated that a human could not dare to touch it.

And the future that Yoo Jin-sung saw was by no means this sight.

Because that was the great flow of this world.

"Originally, you shouldn't have come."

The hero who was sent down by the heavens to save this world was not his close friend's son.

It was something that could never be twisted.

"This is the first time for me too."

To say it again, the law of causality is a kind of great flow that a human cannot dare to touch.

How can a mere human block the waves like the great sea?

Even if the waves were slightly twisted due to some variable, they would eventually rush back to their original flow over time.

If, on the very off chance.

If someone with enough influence to twist the great flow of the world had forcibly twisted it.

If what blocked the waves was not simply a rock, but the very land that made up the waves was twisted.

Then even the great flow of the waves had no choice but to change its direction.

It was certain. As far as the Mad World Heavenly Demon Yoo Jin-sung thought, there was only one being in this world who could do such a thing. He continued with a heavy heart.

"It seems Soo-ah has done something."

A child born with a great flow, destined to save the world.

Such a flow was not something that could be twisted just because someone forcibly twisted it.

Unless she had done it herself.

"Haa..."

It had already happened. There was nothing he, who had died long ago, could do. All the Mad World Heavenly Demon Yoo Jin-sung could do was to humbly accept the fact that had already happened. He patted the seat next to him and said to the person who was the center of this incident.

"Let's hear the story."

It was a great pity that he couldn't see his daughter, but it was his close friend's son whom he had seen after a long time. It would be a lie if he wasn't happy.

That's what he thought until he heard those words.

"...So I regressed."

"So this was it. I was wondering why I felt my energy from you, it seems Soo-ah gave it to you. A pretty boy like you dared to hit on my daughter?"

"I only have memories of having my stomach pierced by your daughter."

"Our Soo-ah has always been weak to faces. Haa! I want to beat you up right now, but I'll let it go just this once for your father's sake. Keep talking. About what happened after that."

"Yes."

Who would have known. That the great former leader of the Demonic Cult, who was called the Mad World Heavenly Demon, was actually a gambling addict who was crazy about his daughter.

Why are there only such strange adults around me?

Above all, how did my father become close friends with such a being?

I told him everything that had happened after that. And the mister said.

"The flow that should have flowed as it was has been all twisted by your regression. You, you said your dream was a life of honey?"

"W-Well, yes."

"I guarantee you. You'll never achieve that. The world, that bastard, flows according to a set flow. We call that the law of causality. And this great flow will never leave you alone until it returns to its original place. Because that is the law of this world."

"If you mean that original place, is it a flow where my stomach gets pierced?"

"No. You are nothing more than a speck of dust that doesn't even affect the law of causality in the first place. You couldn't even surpass the transcendent peak before your regression, right?"

"Calling the transcendent peak 'just' is a derogatory remark to all the masters below the transcendent peak in the martial world, can you handle that?"

"I am the Mad World Heavenly Demon."

Fuck. That's so cool.

"Even the extreme demon is the same in my eyes. And don't interrupt. You transcendent peak-level bastard."

"Excuse me, I'm a Profound Realm master, you know?"

"That's the problem. Because you regressed, you snatched the flow that Soo-ah was supposed to walk, and that's why you are who you are now. You were originally a transcendent peak-level bastard!"

A new feeling. 'Level'... it's a mysterious word that subtly offends the listener. Putting that aside for now, I was able to understand the reason why my life kept getting twisted.

"This was what my junior sister was supposed to go through?"

"Yes. Think about it carefully. Doesn't it seem like the world is forcibly interfering whenever you try to do something?"

I didn't have to think about it.

I could guarantee it. That my life after regression was a series of unfairnesses.

"..."

"I can tell from your expression without having to hear the answer."

"Do you happen to know a way to reverse this situation?"

"The method is simple. Yin and yang are originally in harmony. This world now is in a state where the harmony is broken. If you restore that harmony, the great flow that maintains the world will naturally flow normally again. Then a transcendent peak-level dust like you will be pushed out of the flow of the world and live a life of honey in the outskirts."

"I see."

The unsolvable problem of my life was finally solved.

"It's only natural that you can't handle that energy. Because it wasn't yours in the first place. It's obvious that you just copied what our Soo-ah did."

"I'm ashamed."

Crack.

Just then, the sky began to crack.

"Already?"

The Mad World Heavenly Demon Yoo Jin-sung looked up at the sky with a surprised face, then looked at me again and clicked his tongue.

"Tsk!"

I've been experiencing this kind of thing often lately. I just let it be.

"Originally, time wouldn't have passed this quickly, but because of the loss in the process of Soo-ah transferring the innate qi to you and you nibbling away at my innate qi, there's not much time left. I want to say more, but Jae-ha."

The mister, unlike before, had an uncharacteristically serious face. Being like this, it felt like I was facing the Mad World Heavenly Demon, the former leader of the great Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, not my neighborhood father's friend, so I straightened my posture without realizing it.

"Yes."

"If you don't correct the twisted flow, it's not a matter of your life of honey, but this world might be destroyed. So you must restore it to its original state."

"You've been saying that since a while ago, what do you want me to do?"

"You have to return the person who should be in the original place to the original place."

"You mean my junior sister."

"Yes. Soo-ah was originally supposed to become the young leader of the Divine Cult, meet my younger brother, and become the Heavenly Outer Sacred Bones, the heaven above the heavens, using the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Bones she possessed and the innate qi of the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Art I gave her. So, tell Soo-ah the method I'm about to tell you and return Soo-ah to her original place. Fortunately, as you said, Soo-ah is now the young leader of the Divine Cult, so if you just restore her martial prowess properly, the world will roll on its own."

"What, it's simpler than I thought. I thought it was something incredibly difficult! Haha!"

"Don't laugh. This is not a situation to laugh at."

"Yes, sir!"

My effort to change the atmosphere, which was too serious, went up in smoke.

"From now on, I will tell you the method to tell Soo-ah. Before that, how much do you know about the Profound Other?"

"Not the Profound Gown, not the Profound Manifestation?"

"As expected of a transcendent peak-level bastard. You don't know a damn thing. Listen carefully."

After that, the mister, befitting his majesty as the Mad World Heavenly Demon, explained the ridiculous explanation very easily, and after failing several times, I was finally able to succeed once.

Crack.

When I looked up at the sky, almost all the pieces that made up the sky had already fallen.

"Fortunately, we made it in time."

Thanks to the mister, I was able to control the energy in my body. This meant that I had finally escaped from my life on a timer.

Phew! Escaping from being a sunfish was this difficult!

"Ah! That's right. Is your mother doing well?"

I don't know why he's asking that here, but I brought up a slightly bad memory from the past.

And the mister's reaction was quite different from what I had expected.

"She would never do that."

The mister's expression as he spoke was more serious than before.

"Your father might, but she would never have left you alone."

Crack.

The last remaining piece of the sky fell. At that, the space shriveled as if it were being sucked in somewhere.

At that moment, the mister's eyes widened as if he had realized something.

* * *

The Mad World Heavenly Demon Yoo Jin-sung was a superhuman who had transcended humans, whose martial prowess had reached the heavens to the point where he could see the flow of the world.

At first, he thought that this great flow had been twisted because of his daughter. So he thought that if he just restored that properly, all this would be resolved.

But at the very end, he guessed that his speculation was wrong.

'Her?'

At that time, her martial prowess was stronger than his, who was called the Mad World Heavenly Demon, if not weaker.

Because she was a descendant of the Dragon God Lord.

-He's my son. I can give my life for this child.

Her words were still vivid in his ears.

It was a statement filled with unquestionable sincerity.

'Such a woman abandoned her son? And she was a courtesan? A descendant of the Dragon God Lord?'

And who was his close friend?

'Although he was a guy who was serious about gambling, he was a master who had reached the Profound Realm, unknown to the martial world.'

Yoo Jin-sung looked up at the sky.

The flow that had been clearly visible became invisible from that point on. This meant one thing.

That he was not allowed to look into the events from now on.

Come to think of it, he was so flustered earlier that he didn't realize it, but Soo-ah was a child born with the destiny of a hero who would save the world.

How did Jae-ha, who had inherited the flow of a child with such a great destiny, survive until now?

An ordinary person would have been swept away by the flow the moment they embraced this great flow.

The Mad World Heavenly Demon's eyes shone.

A great presence emanated from his body.

'Perhaps!'

Dragon God Lord.

It was once a term for a hero who had saved the martial world.

Jae-ha had said that he had been attacked from an unknown place before his regression and had reached death.

He said that Soo-ah had appeared after that.

'Her unknown disappearance.'

'The mysterious death of my close friend.'

Before the regression, the world flowed according to its original flow.

Soo-ah would have originally realized her own destiny and awakened that power.

'If Soo-ah hadn't intervened?'

'This matter would have flowed according to the intentions of the one who had driven my sister-in-law's disappearance and my close friend's death.'

And Soo-ah had twisted that.

Even at the cost of abandoning her own destiny.

I should have advised him to be careful of guys with handsome faces when he was young!

The world of the mind was collapsing.

There was not much time left now.

The Mad World Heavenly Demon Yoo Jin-sung had to tell the child who knew nothing the facts he had found out.

"Never meet the Dragon God Lord...!"

"Never meet the Dragon God Lord?"

Rumble.

The world of the mind collapsed.
