chapter 136
started to travel the world. Of course, the main purpose is to find Zurvan, and incidentally, to fix the world a little.
The temples and priests of this world have no divinity. And the serving Sim is not Zurvan. I searched through history books in libraries and important facilities of each country and read their scriptures, but when I saw it, I was a little suspicious that it was a god that actually existed.
Anyway, it doesn’t seem like those gods are left in this world now. Even in the other world, one of the gods that existed in ancient times was only Junon, so we can only speculate carefully whether a similar incident would have occurred in this world.
As I was building my knowledge about this world, I was finally convinced. This world is a place I know.
This is the dimension that Setas lived in. Setas would sometimes talk about the ancient civilizations of the world he lived in. The fragmentary explanations Setas had been talking about matched exactly where they were now.
Setas came from here thousands of years later from the future. Although the timeline is different, considering that the god of time definitely exists here, it was not strange that I arrived on this timeline.
However, considering what Setas had said, there were some strange parts. Even though it is thousands of years from now, all the gods have disappeared from this world. First of all, it was said that Gaia, the main deity, had died. So what happened to the rest of the gods?
Looking at the current situation, I couldn’t understand how this world could have become such a developed world.
It circumnavigated the world called Earth where Setas lived. This world is not so wide compared to the world I used to live in. It’s a bit incomprehensible to my common sense, but it’s said to be a spherical world.
I couldn’t understand it with the map alone, so I took a look around. It came as a great shock to me that the world has an end.
However, this world was inhabited by countless people, many countries and peoples, and so many languages and cultures existed. This part was really interesting. Countless additions were being made to my record every day.
There weren’t that many clones released into the world yet, so there were some difficulties in gathering information, but it was a problem that time would solve.
But in another sense, that time was also holding me back. Even if the time I lived in and the time here passed at the same rate, I didn’t think I could finish the job in a short period of time under the current situation.
I traveled around the world and got close to people naturally. There were no geniuses like Argin in this place, but there were quite a lot of talented people who would have been selected as officials in the Akasha estate in the other world because there were a lot of people.
Among them, he helped and became a friend to those who needed help urgently. And we shared our opinions about what’s wrong with the world right now.
Just as I don’t understand this world well, they couldn’t understand my thoughts well. But I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. This is the process of sowing seeds. Is this right for them, even if it’s just one grain? If you plant doubts, someday a seed will start to germinate in someone.
During the trip, he arrived in a hurry in a country called Qing. This country is a fairly large territorial power around here.
The reason why he came to the country of Qing was because one of his alter egos that he planted here sensed a very weak divinity. As soon as the information of the alter ego came in, I flew right from Mexico, where I was originally traveling.
Divinity was detected near the middle of a mountain called Cheonsan. When I arrived and felt it myself, it was a very weak divinity. This was not the existence of God, but a level close to the trace that God existed in the past.
But I found a place where I felt divinity. It was a small cave buried deep in the mountain. Of course, it wasn’t that difficult for me to get in there.
After entering the cave and lighting it up with magic, the inside of the cave was revealed. I felt a little more divinity when I came in here.
Even though he must have left a long time ago, seeing this degree of divinity is a sign of a strong god.
After passing through the narrow passage of the cave and entering the small cavity inside, there was something that came into view at a glance. These were inscriptions carved into the stone walls of the caves.
It was a mixture of various characters, but there were some that caught my eye. It is the text of the world I lived in.
Intuitively, I knew that the being who had sent me the dagger was here. And the contents seemed to be reserved for me.
-Don’t try to find it the original way. This is the way the gods are here.
It is the story that the way I searched for God was wrong. If so, it is clear that I intentionally left the sacred power left behind so that I could find this place.
Looking at the other characters left behind, some were about swordsmanship and others were about enlightenment of martial arts.
Looking at the contents of swordsmanship and martial arts left behind, I felt familiar again. That familiar feeling quickly made it possible to infer the identity of the person who left this writing.
That swordsmanship is obviously based on the swordsmanship Argin created. It’s changed quite a bit, but the basics don’t change.
There are a lot of things I know about the realization of nothingness. In addition, the article calls it internal energy, but that is definitely meta energy. And the operation method is quite familiar. Not the way Setas or Argyn learned. It was the way Shaq reinterpreted what Setas had taught him. Setas dismissed the method as outdated, but that’s why it’s more memorable.
If you think of it as an elimination method, the person who wrote this is either Shark or someone who learned from Shark. Shaq’s rise to godhood was, in a way, a natural procedure. And considering Howard’s lukewarm response to the question of whether it would be okay to wait for Shark to rise to the rank of god, and the words engraved on the dagger, the possibility that it was Shark increases infinitely.
And decisively, there was a signature written in ancient characters here at the end.
-Dongbang Sak
The signature convinced me that it was Shaq who sent me the dagger. It is unknown why Shark crossed over to this world’s past and became a god. Perhaps he had already ascended to godhood before coming over here.
It’s something I can’t understand no matter how much I think about it now, so I decided not to put all my energy into it.
Anyway, Shaq gave me a very important clue. The method here is important. It may be because of that reason that the divinity was not felt at all in the temple dedicated to the god here.
Of the writings that Shark left behind, I erased only the part that conveyed to me and escaped the cave. And I returned to Mexico, where I was originally.
The people here lived very hard. They spent quite some time as colonies in the country of Spain and were still being exploited.
It was similar to Yeongji suffering from an evil lord, but when I saw it, it was too much. If this place were the Aether Empire, they would have dragged out the lord right away and cut his throat. However, this is not the Aether Empire.
I met workers who were almost treated as livestock, healed their injuries and distributed food. Word spread quickly about me.
The supervisors who manage the workers and the Spaniards have opened their eyes to find me, but it is impossible for the humans here to catch me.
People started calling me the saint of the poor. Even here, he is a saint after all. I’m used to being called a saint, but it’s strange because I’ve never been a real saint.
Among the working class, I met and planted seeds for those with bright souls and good brains. But that’s all I can do for you.
Winning freedom and rights must be done by oneself, and will surely come at a cost. When workers in Mexico stand up for it, I will come back and help it.
After that, I toured many countries again. I tried to understand that Shaq had left the way of this place.
I tried to find the energy of a different feeling, wondering if the divinity of this place was different from the divinity of the place where I lived.
I finally found something similar while touring around the historical sites of mythology. The place I arrived is the place where I first set foot in this world.
As I found out later, the first place I came to this world was England. There is a place called Stonehenge in the southwest of England.
It looks familiar. There was also one that looked exactly like the one that the druids of the past had erected in Nivea’s domain before the golden tree appeared and held a ritual of unknown meaning.
And I felt the magic here. It wasn’t the divine power I was looking for, but the fact that I felt familiar magic meant that there was a wizard here too.
I don’t know how he was avoiding my eyes all this time, but it was clear that a wizard existed in this area.
I started scouring the surroundings around Stonehenge. and finally found
It was a small village called Lark Hill, a little way north of Stonehenge.
Even in Lark Hill Village, I went to a shabby hut a little farther away from the outskirts. It was a very subtle flow of magic power that I couldn’t normally feel. It wasn’t that he was trying to find the flow of magic from the beginning. It was a very subtle flow that I felt only when I raised my senses to the extreme in case there was a hidden portal. It was connected from Stonehenge to this place.
“Are you there?”
I called someone in front of the hut. I already knew there were people inside. But there was no answer.
“Who is inside?”
When I called for the second time, it was popular inside.
“Who are you?”
“Can we talk for a minute?”
The door to the hut opened cautiously, revealing an old man in the countryside, quite ordinary by the standards of this place. His long gray hair was in a mess, and what should have been a gray beard was very dirty.
“hello. My name is Count Germain Akasha.”
“Hey, why is a high-ranking aristocrat in such a shabby place?”
First of all, he introduced me as a count, as he was accustomed to.
The old man lowered his head, but it was only a pretend. It was quite skillful acting, but it didn’t look that way to my eyes. And almost everything the old man saw was fake.
I was hiding my appearance with magic, but I couldn’t fool my vision with that kind of low-level magic.
And no matter how much you change your appearance, you can’t hide or decorate your soul. Even at a glance, he was an old man with an extraordinary soul. No, he wasn’t even an old man.
“What is the old man’s name?”
“What are you trying to do by knowing the name of a lowly thing?”
“You don’t look humble.”
“I’m just a country boy busy making a living.”
Of course, I thought I wouldn’t reveal my true identity with such nice words. So what can I do to make this liar reveal his true identity?
“Wizard”
“What are you talking about?”
once pulled away
“I am a wizard”
He simply created a fireball on his hand and showed it. In an instant, the old man’s impression and momentum changed. Suddenly, when he straightened his hunched back and raised his spirits, the gruff old man in the country disappeared in an instant.
“Who sent you? no, who are you?”
“No one sent. And as I said, Count Germain Akasha.”
“Among the nobles I know, there is no Akasha family.”
“I never said I was an English noble?”
“is it? Then you are the enemy.”
The old man tried to use magic to do something, but it didn’t work out. Even if you look at it like this, he is a person who has dipped his toe into the godhood and then pulled it out. The old man was too weak to compete with his skills in front of me.
“What, what?”
“Is this level?”
Actually a bit disappointed. Although he was hiding his appearance with low-level magic, the old man’s talent was great and he thought he was a higher level wizard. But it wasn’t.
When the mana did not gather, the old man looked very embarrassed.
“Ask again. what is your name?”
The old man hesitated for a moment, then replied with a half-given expression, perhaps realizing that he was no match for me.
“My name is Myrdin.”
