Chapter 183

The old man Huang dreamed of the past.

Back then, he was an instructor of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He traveled around the eastern region, looking for potential disciples.

He somehow ended up in a remote village’s slum.

He could not remember why he went there.

There was nothing to gain from that place full of beggars.

‘No. There was something.’

There was a girl.

A young girl who had such extraordinary talent and potential that he could not help but admire her.

She was malnourished, sleep-deprived, and dirty.

But her eyes were more beautiful than anyone else’s.

Maybe he was drawn to them.

He thought that she could elevate the status of the sect.

He followed his uncertain intuition and took her in.

That must have been why.

He raised her himself, without any relatives.

The girl’s talent was amazing.

Even he, who was already old enough to be called an elder, was astonished by her progress.

He thought that she could restore the glory of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

No, he was sure of it.

‘She had to be trained hard for that.’

The girl endured the harsh training and followed him.

She left his side and became a lower disciple of the sect, carrying out missions without complaining.

She even asked him for praise and approval, and he could only smile and say yes.

She was the future of the sect.

The future of the Heavenly Demon Sect, which had lost its former prestige and honor, and only fought for their own interests.

Time passed.

The girl grew up, and he grew old.

The girl’s eyes were higher than his waist.

She became more beautiful and dazzling as time went by.

There were those who envied her and tried to harm her, but she defeated them one by one.

Of course, there were also those who were too much for her to handle.

Those who feared her power and resorted to despicable schemes that did not suit the sect.

Even a powerful girl like her would have no chance against them.

‘Did she know? That I secretly helped her from behind.’Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

He had learned that petty emotions were unnecessary.

But when did it start?

When did he feel affection for the girl he raised as a tool for the sect?

When did he care more about her smile than her achievements?

The old man Huang wished that she would smile more brightly and be happier.

‘When did it start?’

When did he prioritize her over the sect, when he thought he could give up everything for it?

Suddenly, he remembered a much older memory.

When his hair was black instead of white, and his body was stronger than now.

He had a family when he was young and vigorous.

He had a beautiful wife and a cute daughter.

But he was too focused on his mission, and he lost them.

It was a tragic accident.

A puppet that could not withstand the excessive training of the Heavenly Demon Sect went berserk and destroyed a village, killing ten people before self-destructing.

It was a village with 1,500 people.

It was a miracle that only ten people died from the rampage of the puppet.

His wife and daughter were among those ten people.

In the center of his collapsed house, Huang Anjun knelt in front of their corpses.

In his rough hand, he held a rag doll that his daughter used to play with.

The doll was soaked with his daughter’s blood.

His daughter’s warmth remained on the doll.

The old man Huang realized too late how precious his family was.

He regretted what happened then.

If he had been with his family at that time, they would not have died.

He gave up everything and devoted himself to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

That was the only way to forget the pain of losing his family.

He did not need a family anymore.

He would dedicate himself to the sect.

That was what he vowed, but the girl reminded him of his family’s love again.

He liked seeing her smile.

Her smile was more precious to him than the rise or fall of the sect.

If he had honestly accepted and acknowledged that feeling, maybe things would have turned out better.

But foolishly, he could not accept it easily at that time.

‘No. Maybe I knew it but deliberately ignored it.’

The girl grew stronger every day.

She rose from a lower disciple to an upper one, from a leader of a blood wing unit to an elder.

And then, she reached the position of the sect leader and the Heavenly Demon of this generation.

She climbed higher than old man Huang, and now he had to call her respectfully.

She was a supreme being, a Heavenly Demon that he had to serve.

‘Sect leader. The leader of a blood wing unit is too much for me.’

‘Hey, old man. Just be comfortable like before.’

The old man Huang dragged his wounded body and got up.

‘Was he still alive?’

He knew how powerful her martial arts were.

Yet he survived even though he rushed in from the closest distance.

‘She showed mercy in his palm. She is still a soft-hearted person.’

He felt sorry for making her make a cruel decision, but the old man Huang hardened his heart.

They were shackles. Shackles that prevented her from rising higher.

If they truly cared for her, they should have disappeared on their own.

‘That’s why he must rise higher.’

The old man Huang clenched his painful shoulder and stood up completely in the ruins.

Behind him, the blood eagle squad regained their senses and got up one by one, clearing the dirt and debris.

They did not speak.

They did not need to exchange words, they knew what they had to do as if it was engraved in their souls.

The explosions that echoed from afar subsided.

The old man Huang and the blood eagle squad moved their steps toward the source.

When they reached the place where the Heavenly Demon was, they widened their eyes at the sight before them.

‘Is it all over?’

Yu-hyun breathed heavily and sorted out the situation around him.

‘No. It’s not over yet.’

The story of this world was not over yet. It was only paused for a while because of the interference of the White Night Society, but this was not the real story.

Yu-hyun looked down at the Heavenly Demon who was still in a daze.

The black magic energy writhed in real time, showing her unstable mental state. Seo Sumin also seemed hesitant somewhere, looking at her past self.

Yu-hyun opened his mouth.

“Now...”

He was about to ask what she was going to do.

Waaaaah!!

People’s screams came from afar.

People in white uniforms and soldiers in armor were rushing in.

Yu-hyun frowned at the appearance of the alliance of the martial alliance and the government forces.

‘What? I didn’t hear about this. No, no. This must have happened in the real world.’

But Yu-hyun didn’t know about this because Seo Sumin didn’t tell him.

It wasn’t because she didn’t want to remember and deliberately didn’t tell him. Seo Sumin said she lost her sanity after being betrayed.

When she came to her senses, she was in a deep mountain with no one around.

That meant that the surprise attack by the martial alliance and the government forces happened when she went berserk.

And.

‘They all got swept away by the angry Heavenly Demon.’

The middle-aged man with a long beard who was leading them shouted.

“Heavenly Demon! How dare you use witchcraft on us! Your cowardice has crossed the line! Your evil deeds will end here today!”

They were furious.

They believed that the rampage caused by Sacred Buddhist Relic was witchcraft by the Heavenly Demon.

Those with weak mental power were still unconscious.

Only the elite experts with strong mental power barely regained their sanity and carried out their original surprise attack.

Yu-hyun wondered what to do as he saw the unexpected appearance of the enemies.

“The evil cultists of the demon sect will be uprooted today... Kheuk!”

“Leader... Huek!”

The ones who were running fine stopped in their tracks and fell one by one with screams.

Yu-hyun was puzzled by that sight.

‘What? Why are they collapsing all of a sudden?’

He belatedly realized that the Genesis System’s message window was ringing very loudly.

[The spirits are appalled by what is happening now.]

[Some spirits point fingers at an unbelievable intervention.]

[The spirits condemn the behavior that violates the rules.]

[The spirits urge you to run away.]

‘What? What does that mean?’

The spirits’ reactions were strange.

Yu-hyun soon found out why.

‘The flow of air is weird.’

The sky was full of dark clouds.

The dark clouds swirled like a school of fish swimming in the sea.

The soldiers and martial artists who fell to the ground turned into characters one by one and scattered.

The text that made up them ascended to heaven and was sucked into the center of the whirlpool.

Yu-hyun felt goosebumps all over his body as he saw that sight.

‘Something is coming.’

Paaah!

The center of the dark clouds opened and light came down.

Inside the pillar of light, Yu-hyun felt a huge presence.

Something white and shapeless was watching him through the gaps of the blinding light.

Zap!

An overwhelming aura that made his skin tingle with just a glance.

Yu-hyun knew who could manifest such a thing in reality.

‘A Spirit!’

And not just any ordinary Spirit.

There were ranks among the Spirits.

From the first generation to the fourth generation.

The opponent was at least a second generation.

And it had come out personally from the Paradise of the Great Sage in the Great Sage Army.
