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

Chapter 168 : Towards the Honey Pot (4)

Time flows quickly.

I, who had almost died when I was young, grew up healthier than anyone else.

Instead, my parents, who had shared their mind's eye with me, were rapidly deteriorating in health.

But the two of them smiled at me every time they saw me, as if it were a matter of course.

"You've already reached the 10th star of the Ten Demon Divine Art?"

"Yeah!"

"My Jae-ha is definitely a genius!"

"Hehe."

There was a reason why my martial arts achievements were fast since I was young.

Because these talents were not mine.

And there was a reason why I was struggling, blocked at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

Because I was born incomplete in the first place, my limits were set.

I hoped that these memories would not disappear.

I wanted to keep the two of them in my eyes for even a little longer.

Such a me was running rampant again.

My body was collapsing again.

And my father gave up everything he had achieved and shared it with me.

And so, my father became an ordinary person from the best late-starter of the Demonic Path.

Such a father was still smiling.

As if what he had just done was nothing.

Perhaps thanks to my father's sacrifice, the rampage no longer occurred in me.

I, who was young, was busy living cheerfully, without properly understanding my father's situation.

I felt nauseous at my own disgusting behavior.

After that, time passed quickly.

Although I knew I was shameless, I prayed that this time would pass as slowly as possible.

I wanted to keep the faces of the two of them in my eyes for even a little longer.

My mother, who always smiled brightly and gently at me.

My father, who always solved whatever happened.

And in the end, I returned.

I felt that I had no strength in my whole body.

My mother was still smiling gently at me.

"Are you okay?"

The voice that asked was infinitely gentle, but tears were flowing endlessly from my two eyes.

The surroundings were so devastated that I couldn't tell where this place originally was, how intense the fight had been.

"This mom has chased away all the bad guys."

Drip, drip.

The cold sensation that wets my forehead.

"M-Mom. B-Blood, blood!"

"Oh dear, it seems I overdid it a little."

The collapsing body had returned to its original state.

If it were in the old days, I wouldn't have known what had happened, but now I knew the reason.

What she had sacrificed.

"Hehe."

I knew what she would say next.

Because this was a memory I had forgotten.

"Jae-ha, my baby. I hope you achieve what you want as you live on. I love you."

Flop.

My mother collapsed on me as she was.

"M-Mom?"

My body, which was finding stability, was about to run rampant again.

In the first place, with my mother's little remaining strength, she could not completely block my already collapsing body.

"Why aren't you moving?"

Looking at my mother, who was not moving at all, I wailed. Without even knowing who it was all because of.

The past was about to repeat itself again.

I wanted to stop this foolish child's actions right away.

I just couldn't bear to see their choices being ruined in vain.

But all I could do in a soul state was to just watch.

In the end, this fool ran rampant again.

Originally, he was destined to die like this, but this fool was able to survive once more.

"Oh dear, I had just found a way. It seems I'm late."

If you're lucky, you're lucky.

Or are you strong against bad luck?

"If you die like this, I will no longer have the face to see him and her."

I, who had lost my reason, was shot at the former Heavenly Demon.

The former Heavenly Demon lightly subdued me and then stabilized me.

I felt my body gradually stabilizing.

"If it weren't for his and her sacrifice, I wouldn't have been able to use this method either. And I can't just watch you, whom the two of them have left behind, like this. Because I also gained a lot thanks to the sacrifice of the two of them."

The former Heavenly Demon, Yoo Jin-sung, shared his true power with the son of his closest friend and the divine maiden he trusted the most.

"I hope you save the world as the two of them wished."

Her sacrifice, who had died in a place no one knew, was by no means in vain.

Because she had brought the forces that had been secretly active in the dark to the surface.

When I came to my senses again, I had forgotten everything that had happened so far.

As if to defend myself for having survived alone, disgustingly.

"Who are you, mister? And who am I?"

Yoo Jin-sung planted a fake memory in his friend's son and took him to a kindergarten. The subsequent events were consistent with what was previously known.

I, who had obtained a new life through the sacrifice of the two of them, grew up arrogant and conceited, contrary to the wishes of the two of them, and grew up as a human who did not hesitate to do despicable things to protect his own position.

And so, the foolish guy named Yoo Jae-ha meets a miserable death.

I thought that was a matter of course.

* * *

Yoo Jae-ha returned to reality.

While floating in the former Heavenly Demon's mind's eye, the memories I had forgotten came back. Perhaps the energy inherent in his body and the energy of his in my body had reacted and brought the memories that were sleeping on the other side of my consciousness to the surface.

"Senior brother!"

"Younger brother!"

"Are you okay!"

My older brother, my junior sister, and the Heavenly Demon looked at me with worried eyes in turn.

I answered lowly.

"I'm fine."

I couldn't find the answer I wanted from the former Heavenly Demon, but I already knew the answer myself.

Because the two of them had told me early on.

Yoo Jae-ha immediately sat in a cross-legged position.

The Heavenly Demon, who saw this, instinctively realized that Yoo Jae-ha was trying to digest some enlightenment.

"From this moment on, no one should act rashly. Because it's an important moment."

And the Heavenly Demon was surprisingly unable to know what Yoo Jae-ha was trying to do now.

While he was contemplating whether this situation was a good sign or a bad sign, Yoo Jae-ha opened his eyes.

For now, nothing had changed on the outside.

However, the Heavenly Demon could tell that something had changed.

Yoo Jae-ha looks at the Heavenly Demon and opens his mouth.

"You can withdraw the boundary."

"If I do that, my older brother's body might collapse."

Even the Heavenly Demon, who believed in Yoo Jae-ha, could not obediently listen this time.

Because he couldn't understand it with his common sense.

But at the sight that soon occurred, the Heavenly Demon had no choice but to withdraw the boundary.

Ignoring the Heavenly Demon's words, Yoo Jae-ha gently placed his hand on the former Heavenly Demon's body.

After a while.

The former Heavenly Demon opens his eyes.

He turns his head.

"Sa-wol, you've aged a lot while I wasn't looking."

"O-Older brother?"

"Yes. It feels like I've woken up after sleeping for a long time."

Yoo Jin-sung's pupils trembled slightly as he turned his head to the opposite side, and then they returned to their original state.

He slowly raised his arm and stroked the head of the child who had now become a fine woman.

"You've grown up as pretty as your mother, my daughter."

"D-Dad?"

"Yes."

"Is it really you, dad?"

"Hmm. Although I haven't completely returned from a jiangshi to a human, am I a dad? Am I not? Anyway, it seems I am."

"Waaah!"

Yoo Soo-ah cried, held in Yoo Jin-sung's arms, as if she had returned to a young child of the old days.

Yoo Jae-ha was looking at that sight with a proud heart.

Although he had not been able to save the two of them, he felt as if he had saved his junior sister at least.

Yoo Jae-ha secretly wipes his tears and raises his head. Just then, Yoo Jae-ha's eyes widen.

He could immediately tell that this was an illusion he had created.

But at the illusion he saw again, Yoo Jae-ha said.

"I'm back."

After a long wandering, the young leader had truly returned to the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.

-Son, what are you going to do now?

From the traces left by his father, he had learned how to use the yang mind's eye.

-Son, do you still like gukbap?

From the traces left by his mother, he had learned how to use the yin mind's eye.

What he had done was just to combine what the two of them had left him.

And so, he had achieved the harmony of yin and yang.

In that process, he had returned the true power of the former Heavenly Demon that remained in his body, and just as his father and mother had done to him, the broken balance of the former Heavenly Demon's body had achieved harmony.

He was not sure if the former Heavenly Demon is a jiangshi or not now, but he was sure that his body was much more stable than before.

And he himself as well.

In the process of combining the divided yin and yang mind's eyes into one, he was able to find an impurity mixed in.

That was the seed left by his grandfather.

Yoo Jae-ha could see that this would grow in the future and eat his body, and in the end, it would completely change his soul into a different him.

He got rid of all the energy left by his grandfather.

Then his body was about to collapse again.

If it were in the past, it would have become the same as in the old days, but now it was different.

Because his father and mother had taught him.

Yoo Jae-ha, the yang mind's eye that his father had given him.

He had combined it with the yin mind's eye that his mother had given him and had achieved harmony.

He had nurtured the lacking parts and had reaped the overflowing parts.

And so, he had now become something new, different from before.

The current Heavenly Demon, Hyuk Sa-wol, approaches Yoo Jae-ha, who is standing alone.

He places his hand on Yoo Jae-ha's head.

"Ahem! You've worked hard."

Yoo Jae-ha's eyes widen at that, and he looks at him.

"Yes."

Although it was just one word, his heart strangely ached.

Hyuk Sa-wol continued.

"Congratulations. You have advanced to a new realm."

"Yes."

Yoo Jae-ha could not speak for long. Because he felt like he would cry if he said anything. Although he didn't know why.

"It seems this is a realm that you have pioneered for the first time in this martial world, have you decided what to call it?"

It was called the Transcending Demon because it had surpassed the demon.

It was called the Profound Realm because it had realized everything.

"Yes."

"Oh! What is it?"

"Harmony."

What his mother and father had left him entirely.

The realm above the Transcending Demon and the Profound Realm.

"It has a good ring to it."

For the first time in the martial world.

And for the first time in history, it was the moment when the Harmony Realm was born.

Yoo Jae-ha tried to operate the following heaven in his left hand and the reversal of heaven in his right hand.

And he combined them into one and achieved harmony.

Yin and yang were completely harmonized and became something new.

The Heavenly Demon, who saw that, smiled with a proud heart.

"I've come."

The former Heavenly Demon, who had been watching the two of them with a pleased heart all along, also smiled with a proud heart.

"I've peed."

At the vulgar words of the two highest in the Divine Cult, the deputy leader squeezed his eyes shut.

"You two, please maintain your dignity."

My junior sister, regardless of her father whom she had met after a long time, went to her senior brother and was sparkling her eyes.

"As expected, senior brother is amazing!"

The two Heavenly Demons said.

"They say it's useless to raise children."

"That's right, younger brother."

After a while, a large-scale force was dispatched from Xinjiang.

The place where the huge flag symbolizing the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult was heading was the Central Plains.

The martial artist who had reached the Harmony Realm for the first time in history, with the current Heavenly Demon on his left and the former Heavenly Demon on his right, said.

"As expected, the beginning is Shaolin Temple."

It was the first beginning of the moment that would later be called the myth of the unification of the martial world.
