Leveling with the Gods

C454

There was no eye contact.

It was natural.

If they couldn't see each other, there was no possibility of visual encounter. More than anything, this was not the real reality but a future moment seen through the Eyes of Foreknowledge.

But then, why?

A chill ran down YuWon's spine.

-Don't cross this gate ever again.

A whisper.

The world seen through the Eyes of Foreknowledge distorted.

Something was interfering and diverting YuWon's vision through the Eyes of Foreknowledge.

"If you come back, I won't let you go so easily."

He cast YuWon away as if this was his space.

YuWon, who was contemplating resistance, soon stopped. Not being able to examine what was inside was regrettable, but that didn't mean he gained nothing.

On the contrary...

'Thank you.'

Because of you, I now know what's behind that guy.

Beyond the gate guarded by Buddha.

Aaaaah!

Suddenly, the faint cry of pain from Son OhGong was heard.

--------------------------

Aaaaah!

In an instant, the world changed.

The view through the eyes, the air current enveloping the body, the ambient temperature.

Everything changed.

The effect of Foreknowledge had disappeared.

"What did you see?"

It was the Bull Demon King's question, noticing that YuWon had used the Eyes of Foreknowledge.

YuWon, who had been sitting in confusion for a moment, stood up.

"I have to leave immediately."

"Where to?"

"To the mountain where that guy is."

Rumble, rumble~.

In the sky above the building where they were both dining, the Sun Chariot once again expelled flames and prepared for takeoff.

"... What?"

Although the Bull Demon King didn't understand what was happening, he boarded the Sun Chariot following YuWon.

The Sun Chariot, whose engine instantly ignited, began to move at breakneck speed. Although the Bull Demon King didn't fully understand the situation, he pointed in the direction with his finger.

"It's over there."

"I'll go right away, then. Be careful not to fall."

"Since you're concerned, speak now. Why are you moving so hastily all of a sudden?"

In response to the Bull Demon King's insistence, YuWon answered without turning off the Sun Chariot lights.

"It's not something like a Yokai."

"Isn't it?"

"There's something behind him. Someone with a bald head and tan skin."

"Did you see it with those eyes?"

"Yes."

And that 'someone' intervened to block YuWon's view of Son OhGong by interfering with the Eyes of Foreknowledge.

At this moment, the assumption was fragile and there was no solid evidence, but it was worth saying.

"He wants to take over Son OhGong's body."

"The body?"Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

"Yes."

YuWon also didn't know who that person was. But he guessed that it probably could be an ancient High-Ranker who had long disappeared, now unranked.

The only reason he could guess that was because YuWon couldn't think of a High-Ranker who could make Son OhGong like this.

'If it's such an ancient High-Ranker and is now dead and missing.'

The only reason that thing might be targeting Son OhGong is one.

'Is it dreaming of resurrection?'

YuWon looked down at the back of his hand.

A ring filled on his right hand. The moment he discovered it, an idea crossed YuWon's mind.

'...No harm in checking.'

Woo-.

Light sprouted from the ring on his right hand.

Golden, black, and blue lights enveloped YuWon. Along with the sensation that his body floated in the air for a moment, YuWon's mind was sucked into the Uranus Heart.

Urano extended his hand as if to say "go," and suddenly held a teacup again, full and hot.

"I think I've gathered enough information," YuWon nodded and disappeared from his place.

A sip~

Urano's gaze, slowly savoring his tea, lifted.

"I'm intrigued."

Upward.

YuWon, regaining consciousness, headed towards the mountain where Tathagata was in the distance.

"The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, using the Martial Arts of the Great Buddha."

-----------------------

Upon regaining consciousness, the Sun Chariot was nearing its destination.

The Bull Demon King stood at the front of the Sun Chariot. Despite the strong wind blowing, he didn't blink and stared at the mountains.

"Have you awakened?"

YuWon nodded at the Bull Demon King's question, who didn't turn his head.

The speed of the Sun Chariot gradually decreased. There was no need to hurry now that they were close to their destination.

YuWon looked at the mountains where Son OhGong was.

The first impression was quite impressive.

'It's enormous.'

The mountain was tall, taller than any mountain YuWon knew.

Boarding the Sun Chariot, flying higher than the clouds, the mountain was so large that he could look at it for a long time without lowering his gaze.

'I thought the Celestial Mountain was big.'

So far, the largest mountain YuWon had seen was the Celestial Mountain, which housed the Heavenly Demon Cult.

With over 5 kilometers above sea level and an east-west span of over 2,500 kilometers, the immense Celestial Mountain range was so large that it couldn't be encompassed in a single glance.

However, what could he say now about the mountain in front of him?

Even the Celestial Mountain seemed small compared to the size and intimidation of this mountain.

"Are you surprised?"

"A bit."

"I was surprised too. Although this Tower is huge, I never thought there would be a mountain as big as this..."

Jump~

The Bull Demon King's words couldn't continue.

It was because YuWon quickly jumped off the Sun Chariot to find the temple.

"You're in such a hurry, just like that guy OhGong."

Or maybe that meant it was so urgent.

The Bull Demon King followed YuWon and jumped. The Sun Chariot, without flames, remained floating in the sky, not moving any further, leaving only a slight amount of residual heat.

Thus, YuWon and the Bull Demon King jumped upward and arrived halfway up the mountain.

Thud!

Finally, YuWon and the Bull Demon King reached the mountain.

The one who knew the way was the Bull Demon King.

"Follow me."

With those words, the Bull Demon King moved forward. He seemed to be walking slowly, but his steps were as fast as taking ten or twenty steps at once.

As he followed the Bull Demon King, YuWon noticed a familiar scene.

'The path feels familiar.'

YuWon's steps following the Bull Demon King.

And at the end of that...

'...Did we arrive?'

Next to the plate with the name of the temple, the main entrance gate of the temple awaited.

And at that moment...

An imposing presence guarding the entrance to the temple.

A faceless Buddha appeared, protecting the main gate.

"You have finally come..."

At the same time.

Swing~

YuWon, who knew this would happen, unsheathed his sword without hesitation.

Slash-!

The form of the Buddha and the temple plate were cut. The main gate split with a loud sound, falling into hundreds of pieces.

Thud, clatter-.

Watching the main gate fall...

"Hurry out."

As if there was no time, YuWon pointed into the temple with the tip of his sword.

"Tathagata."
