Chapter 199 : Extreme Demon
For the past 3 years, the 7th world had undergone many changes.
The first was the appearance of demonic beasts that were thought to be extinct, and the second was the appearance of the super-intelligent creature, the dragon.
And all these changes were an extension of the changes in the 1st Demon World.
Murong Yoo had reached the end of the peak of the Transcendent Realm. Not only that, but Namgung Cheon and Paeng Yoo-ran were also the same.
For the past 3 years, the three of them had been able to reach the peak of the Transcendent Realm after immense training.
However, they could not overcome the wall of the Extreme Demon no matter how hard they tried.
Landfall was investigating the connection between the 1st Demon World and the 7th world. And the result he obtained was that the 1st Demon World and the 7th world were linked.
Landfall, who was resting after training, opened his mouth to the three of them.
"As a result of my investigation so far, the 1st Demon World is exactly the past of the 7th world. The proof is that the changes that occurred in the 1st Demon World are affecting the 7th world."
Murong Yoo, who was wiping his sweat, answered.
"We already knew that. That's why we've been doing our best to restore the 1st Demon World so far."
Now, the desolate appearance of the 1st Demon World in the past could not be found.
Lush bushes and various creatures.
Even recently, they had succeeded in restoring the dragon, which was called the strongest as a species.
"This is just my thought..."
At Landfall's following words, the three of them made serious faces. After a while, Namgung Cheon opened his mouth.
"It makes sense."
Paeng Yoo-ran supported his opinion.
"I also don't think it's impossible."
"Give me some time to think. Let's end today's training here."
Murong Yoo left with a single word.
* * *
Is this really right?
-If we revive the Demon God in the 1st Demon World and then eliminate the Demon God, won't the 7th world be able to regain its complete former appearance?
He seemed to know roughly how to revive the Demon God.
Because he had always felt a sticky and gloomy energy while summoning various creatures in the 1st Demon World.
Could that be the energy of the Demon God?
However, he lacked the ability to summon it himself yet. Even if he did summon it, it was uncertain how he could deal with it.
On the contrary, if he summoned the Demon God and the 1st Demon World was destroyed, this could also affect the 7th world.
No matter how much he thought about it, this was not a problem he could worry about alone.
The next day, Murong Yoo went to see the department head, Lancelot.
"You want to take a personal vacation because you're not feeling well?"
"Yes!"
"You're the first student to make such a bold request to me."
"I beg you!"
"Phew. Since the research of the Golden Ivory Tower has been progressing quickly thanks to you, I'll let it slide just this once. But the limit is two days."
"Yes! Thank you!"
And so, Murong Yoo received a two-day vacation and returned to the Central Plains.
"Yoo-ya?"
What greeted such a Murong Yoo was his father, Yoo Jae-ha, who was living a life of honey.
"Dad?"
Dad was taking a nap in a pavilion where the sunlight was very good. And he had popped out right in front of that pavilion.
"I've arranged it so that when you return, you'll come out to the place closest to me. Don't just stand there blankly, come here. The sun is warm."
"Y-Yes."
Murong Yoo was a little angry at the thought that while he was worrying about a very important problem concerning the existence of the world, his dad was living a life of honey here.
"Why are you frowning so much?"
"No. I'm just a little angry."
"Tsk, tsk. What did Lancelot say?"
"Department Head Lancelot is a very wonderful person, unlike someone."
"That friend is a bit stubborn. A person needs to have some leeway. Isn't that right?"
"I think having too much leeway is also a problem."
"Haha. My son has grown up so well. As expected, he takes after this father!"
"..."
Dad was hopeless. Although his grandfathers had called his dad the Martial God, he had no faith in his dad.
He thought that the only ones he could trust were his grandfathers.
"Then, I'll go see my grandfathers!"
"Alright. Since you're here, stay and play for a year."
"Then I'll fall behind!"
Yoo Jae-ha, seeing Murong Yoo leaving in anger, tilted his head.
"If you are at the peak of the Transcendent Realm at that age, you're faster than me, so why are you like this? Anyone would think you're anxious because you can't enter the Extreme Demon."
Murong Yoo was heading to the Divine-Demonic Hall, panting.
"As expected, dad is a lost cause! Martial God, my ass!"
When he went to the Divine-Demonic Hall, he could see his grandfathers training in the yard.
Murong Yoo, seeing that scene, finally felt at ease.
'Yes! That's it! That's the true adult of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and the right appearance!'
"Grandpas!"
"Oh! Yoo has come!"
"Don't tell me you were cut!"
"I wasn't cut, I just came on a short vacation to get some advice."
"Haha. You can just honestly say you came because you missed these grandfathers."
"Of course, of course."
Although it wasn't like that, Murong Yoo just said he understood at the happy appearance of his two grandfathers.
"I'll take it as that."
"You're being shy, have you eaten?"
"Ahem! If you've come home, you should eat first!"
Murong Yoo, recalling the fact that if he were dragged to the dining room here, he would have to eat the side dishes that his two grandfathers put on his rice all day without being able to say a word until his stomach burst, quickly changed the subject.
"That's not it, I have something to say."
"Is it more important than food?"
"There's nothing more important in life than eating."
"It's a very important matter concerning the existence of the world."
"Then I can't help it."
"For now, speak. If it's not important, let's go to the dining room."
Murong Yoo confessed his worries, and his two grandfathers said.
"It's nothing. Let's go to the dining room."
"Yes. Were you so serious about such a thing? Tsk, tsk. How can you lead the Divine Cult in the future with such a small liver."
It's the Demon God who destroyed a world!
Is this reaction right!
That day, after being subjected to a huge food assault, Murong Yoo's stomach burst, and he couldn't come to his senses, so he fell asleep.
"Gasp!"
Murong Yoo, who had dreamed of his stomach bursting while eating, regretted falling asleep so much.
"Are you awake?"
"Dad?"
"Yes. You've reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm while I wasn't looking. You've worked hard."
Although he hadn't done it to receive praise, he felt strangely good when he heard it. Especially, it felt like something was poking his chest.
"Yeah, yeah."
He had to find a solution quickly. This was not the time to be sleeping like this.
"I heard from my grandfathers. That you're trying to revive the Demon God?"
"Yeah."
How does dad?
Don't tell me my grandfathers told him?
But dad is just a young leader who knows nothing and is living a life of honey!
Just then, an unexpected statement followed from his dad.
"To do that, you'll have to at least reach the Extreme Demon. Because the Extreme Demon is the very first step to communicating with the world."
"..."
"It seems you've been at the peak of the Transcendent Realm for about 3 years."
"..."
At his dad's serious appearance, which was not his usual honey-sucking appearance, Murong Yoo was startled.
What! This really looks like a young leader!
Dad is the young leader.
"Alright!"
As if he had decided something, his dad said.
"Since I've thought of it, let's go at once."
"W-What?"
"I heard from my grandfathers that you only have two days."
"That's true."
"Extreme Demon, let's reach it today."
T-If that were something you could do just by wanting to, I wouldn't have suffered for 3 years!
"You seem to not believe me."
Then would you believe it!
"The Extreme Demon is nothing. Follow me."
"Dad."
"Yes?"
"You're not joking, are you?"
"Why would I joke about a mere Extreme Demon?"
Why is the Extreme Demon a mere!
"It's not even the Profound Realm. My son has become a fool while I wasn't looking."
Murong Yoo just gave up and followed his dad.
"I've always liked the night sky, but seeing the night sky with my son like this is even better. Right?"
"I guess so."
It was something he could never have imagined in the old days.
That he would be looking up at the night sky with his dad.
"Do you see it?"
"What?"
Dad's hand gently touches his back.
Grin.
Smiling, dad continued.
"The flow of the world."
As soon as the words ended, Murong Yoo felt an indescribable power sweep over him.
Thud.
Murong Yoo collapsed.
Yoo Jae-ha carefully received Murong Yoo.
Immediately after, the two former Heavenly Demons appeared.
"The baby?"
"Our baby?"
"I don't know if there's a sixteen-year-old baby, but he's sleeping safely."
"Did it go well?"
"Did it go well?"
"That depends on Yoo's ability. All we can do now is wait."
Around that time, Murong Yoo was facing himself.
"Who are you?"
"I am you."
"But why are you looking at me with such angry eyes?"
"Because you have what I couldn't have."
"What?"
"Let me introduce myself again. I am you from a failed world."
"What?"
"So I'm so jealous of you. At the same time, I resent you. You, who are stuck at the peak of the Transcendent Realm."
He raises his energy.
Murong Yoo's eyes widened at the huge energy that was constricting him.
"T-This is!"
"Extreme Demon. The realm you must reach. To summon the Demon God. Then, here I go."
"What?"
The moment he said that, Murong Yoo lost his consciousness with a huge shock.
Murong Yoo opened his eyes.
He was still in a virtual space.
"If you've come to your senses, get back into your stance."
"It wasn't a dream."
Murong Yoo took a stance at my words. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could instinctively tell that if he fought with the being in front of him now, he could become stronger than he was now.
"Then, here I go again."
"Alright! Come on!"
Swish.
He had no memory after seeing him take a step.
He didn't know how many times he had fainted.
No! He didn't even know how much time had passed.
Although he had fainted thousands of times, the time in the sky was the same.
However, during those thousands of times, Murong Yoo had grown to the point where he could compete with himself.
But he could not beat himself.
"Haa. I'm really strong."
"Of course. You, who live in a peaceful world, cannot be compared to me, who has endured a hellish time."
"It was like hell?"
"Yes. As I said when we first met, this is the destroyed appearance of the Central Plains that my father could not save. I have only been looking for my father's revenge here, and I was finally able to succeed in my revenge. But I had no one left. My mother, my father, and my friends were all dead. That's why I'm so jealous and resentful of you."
Murong Yoo seemed to know now. Why himself had been looking at him with such eyes all this time.
And he could tell.
What himself wanted.
"You don't want to regret it again, right?"
Murong Yoo stood up.
"I'll do my best not to regret it this time."
"Of course you should."
He didn't know how many more times he had fainted after that.
However, Murong Yoo was finally able to succeed in attacking himself.
"Although I'm still not satisfied with this much, still, congratulations."
Himself was scattering.
And with that, the virtual world was also collapsing.
Murong Yoo opened his eyes.
"Are you awake?"
He could see his dad.
And Murong Yoo, who had reached the Extreme Demon, was finally able to see his dad's true appearance.
The Martial God.
It was the person in front of him.
"How was it? The Extreme Demon is easy, right?"
It wasn't.
