Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 482
Episode 482 Owner of the World (7)
Ho Yo-seong, who was hurriedly heading to the Blood Soul Pavilion, stopped for a moment.
“Commander General? “Why are you doing this?”
“Wait a moment…”
“Yes?”
Hu Yaosheng looked around.
‘what?’
I felt like I had just seen something strange.
I don’t know what it was, but it bothered me for some reason. A golden object that had shined for a moment continued to glimmer in my eyes.
The strange mystery felt by the object caught my attention.
I felt both eerie and curious at the same time, as if I was climbing a familiar mountain path and saw a huge tiger I had never seen before.
“Commander General?”
“….”
“Are you unwell…?”
“No, no.”
Hu Yaosheng shook his head.
“let’s go.”
“Oh yeah!”
Ho Yo-seong takes a step again.
A look of puzzlement and discomfort appeared on his face.
‘I definitely think I saw something golden?’
It’s something that seems easy to forget. You may have seen something in vain. I’ve been living so hectic lately that I haven’t been able to sleep properly. That may be so.
However, Hu Yaosheng did not underestimate himself.
If he had relaxed, he might have noticed that now that he was in the prime of his life, he wasn’t dull enough to see something wrong.
‘I guess it’s no big deal.’
Even if it was a separate thing, now was not the time to worry about that. He took the trouble to forget the ‘something’ he had seen.
But he wasn’t the only one who saw something spraying golden light.

Zhou Qing, who was looking at Xu Liang, smiled.
“indeed.”
Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.
“I know for sure now. “You truly have no interest in my life.”
“You’re late.”
“I have no choice but to be late. Whether you are an emperor or a fool, life is precious. Since my life depends on it, I have no choice but to dig in and check more persistently.”
Zhou Qing leaned back in his chair.
At first glance, fatigue appeared on his face exposed to sunlight.
“Look at you, Grandmaster of the Demonic Martial Forest.”
The Grand Master of the Mado Murim.
It was a completely different tone from before. I could tell that he sincerely acknowledged the other person.
“I heard what the so-called demons think about beings called heavenly demons. “For demons, the Heavenly Demon is revered as a god higher than the emperor, right?”
“Yes.”
“Not even an emperor is enough, he is a god…”
Are they trying to throw a bunch of insults at their behavior of leaving the Son of Heaven behind and worshiping gods among themselves?
Zhou Qing closed his eyes.
“It must have been difficult.”
It was an unexpected statement.
Xu Liang nodded.
“It’s always hard.”
“It seems like you are a decent god because you know how difficult it is.”
Zhou Qing opened his eyes again and smiled bitterly.
“Did you say you investigated me?”
“Yes.”
“Yes, I ascended to the throne of emperor at a young age.
I don’t know if you know this, but it was a coincidence that I became emperor. “A plague was rampant near the imperial palace, and I was the only one among my brothers who survived the disease.”
“I didn’t know that.”
“I have no choice but to know. People will know this. “The emperor is a man who poisoned all his brothers before taking the throne.”
Zhou Qing burst out laughing.
“It’s an interesting rumor. Could that evil rumor also become a part of a myth? That could be possible.
“A kid who didn’t know anything about the world killed his brothers because he wanted to become an emperor… Sure, no matter what he was different from, he was still a different human being.”
“….”
“Do you have any brothers?”
“There are death brothers.”
“Did you keep him alive?”
“I killed two of the three who attacked and am using one as a horse. “The rest are having fun together.”
“That’s amazing. If I hadn’t met and talked to you, I would have thought you were a fool who was swayed by personal reasons.
Mercy is something that is difficult to show unless you are powerful. “To get the title of Heavenly Demon at such a young age gives me an idea of how great of a monster you are.”
Zhou Qing looked at Xu Liang.
Seo-ryang’s face, which did not emit the blood-soaked glow in his eyes like before, looked very handsome.
“It’s a face that shows dignity and authority. “I don’t know how he is now, but I’m sure he will be a good leader in the future.”
“What do you want to say?”
“There’s a lot I want to say. “I just want to talk about various things because I know that your cooking skills are unusual.”
“It’s a waste of time.”
“I am a Koyan man. “What would a person who wields the emperor and aims to rule the world do not have that much patience?”
Interest arose on Seo-ryang’s face.
“Have you made up your mind?”
“Is there anything else to do other than hold on? As you say, my life has already fallen into your hands.”
“You don’t seem to be in a very good mood.”
“It’s not a good feeling, but I think it’s for the best.
“Wouldn’t it be better to live here where you can live comfortably even if all your limbs are cut off, rather than struggling to breathe under the watchful eye of a bastard who joined hands with an unknown robber?”
It’s not a lie. I meant it. Zhou Qing truly thought so.
“I became emperor unexpectedly, but I thought it was a good life.
It was a time when I couldn’t fully feel responsibility. Even if he is a puppet emperor, he is still an emperor.
“I prefer a peaceful life where my safety is guaranteed, rather than a life of wielding power.”
“Right.”
“But as time passed, I realized that my safety was like a light in the wind.
The power of the imperial palace is weak. However, there were many treacherous thieves who tried to hold on to the little power they had. “They were the ones who would replace the emperor for that small amount of power.”
“So you changed it?”
“It was the first time in my life that I began to take control of my life. “As if by heavenly fortune, we were able to drive out all the traitors and increase the power of the imperial palace little by little.”
Zhou Qing shook his head.
“And in the year of my reign, the power of the imperial palace stopped. “Even the martial arts robbers would have thought that was appropriate.”
He was a resourceful person who grew the imperial palace to the limit of what he could do while paying attention to the intentions of the Wulin forces that took control of the central plains.
It is not a vessel worthy of being called the master of the world. However, he was ready to grow a bowl whenever he wanted.
“Whether you are an emperor or a religious leader, the position of head of an organization is a difficult one. There is no power in the world without responsibility.
Even mere beasts bite when their leader’s strength weakens. “There are more people.”
Xiliang responded indifferently.
“If that was true, shouldn’t you have transferred the throne to your son?”
“I’m glad I didn’t. Look what he did to me. “It was the right decision for me and the world.”
“Have you ever thought about the world?”
“I thought about it. “I was just ignoring it.”
“Honest.”
“If you want, wouldn’t it be easy to see through my inner thoughts? “Why would you tell a lie in front of someone who knows everything?”
Zhou Qing burst out laughing.
“Now that I think about it, this is the first time. It means showing my true feelings in front of others. “I’ve never done anything like that to my own children.”
It was then.
“I think maybe that’s why the crown prince grew so big.”
Zhou Qing turned his gaze to the side.
Hu Yaosheng lowered his head.
“This is the general military of Protestantism. “Greetings to the Highness of the Central Plains.”
Zhou Qing’s eyes sparkled.
“He is a high-ranking person in the central plains… hehe.”
“Unfortunately, we are people who worship God. “I can’t fight with all my strength when the leader is next to me.”
“I know.”
Hu Yaosheng’s eyes sparkled.
He was able to understand the personality of the other person just by the way he responded to Zhu Qing’s voice.
Xu Liang grumbled.
“Did you rush to see if another accident would happen?”
“So I told you, right? “Let’s see it together.”
“If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’m a troublemaker.”
“It wasn’t?”
“Just cut off the head.”
“You threatened to kill me again, right?”
“how did you know?”
“Look at that. I thought so. “I asked you to come with me because I was afraid that would happen.”
“Anyway, the atmosphere isn’t bad, right?”
“I feel like my heart has become weak these days. “I don’t want to be surprised.”
“I’ll give you about a month.”
“please! “Medicines aren’t everything!”
Zhou Qing seemed quite surprised and muttered to himself.
“It’s a unique relationship between the ruler and the subject.”
Xu Liang stood up.
“We’ve created a basic atmosphere, so let the military do the rest.”
“What?”
“Don’t you think we have to complete the remaining 30% of the world-famous world?
He was a man who never extinguished the flame of ambition in his heart, regardless of whether he was a safety-first or pacifist. “It makes sense.”
“Please be there too, teacher.”
“Oh, it’s okay. hungry. “I’m going to go eat.”
“Why are you acting like a child?”
Seoyang grumbled and sat down again.
“I really don’t know who owns it.”
Hu Yaocheng bowed his head to Zhou Qing again.
“Our religious leader is like this. Please understand.”
Zhu Qing burst out laughing.
“Yes, I think you need to understand a lot. I guess you guys worship God this way, right? “It’s refreshing.”
“No matter how polite you appear on the outside, don’t you just have to focus on your heart?”
“her.”
Zhou Qing closed his eyes.
“If you just turn to your heart, that’s all…. Well, that’s not wrong either.”
He pondered those words several times and opened his eyes again.
“So, what does the Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Demon Church want to say to me?”
Hu Yaosheng glanced at Xu Liang.
Seoliang pretended not to notice and was waving his finger at a butterfly that had flown in from somewhere. The butterfly fluttered and landed on the tip of his index finger.
“Ahem! “I’m sure you’ve discussed this and that with the leader, so let’s get straight to the point.”
“Sure.”
“You heard, right? “We want unification of the world.”
“He was truly ambitious. “There is no other person who would confidently say something like that in front of the emperor.”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay, just sleep. I don’t have any strength.”
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s true. That’s why.”
There was a serious look on Hu Yaosheng’s face.
“If you agree to the conditions, I will give you your power back.”
Zhou Qing frowned.
“Conditional? Well, I’m not in a position to discuss this or that right now. Let’s keep going. “What are those conditions?”
“I want an alliance between our school and the imperial palace.”
“alliance?”
“That’s right.”
Zhou Qing said bitterly.
“An alliance is something that can be formed when the strengths are similar. “With your strength, it would be enough to devour the imperial palace, right?”
“That is correct. If you want to occupy it by force, you can just send in half of our troops.”
“But how can we call it an alliance?”
“I told you, right? “I will give you strength.”
“strength?”
Seo-ryang intervened in a grumpy voice.
“Stop spinning around and just say it, man.”
Ho Yaoseong cleared his throat.
“Isn’t this the end of the Heavenly One Tongji Realm? “I’m kind of nervous.”
“Fuck you.”
Zhou Qing tilted his head.
“Do you mean that you will give me power worthy of an emperor?”
“You can say that. However, in order to give the emperor the power he deserves, we must clean up the central plain.”
“if?”
“Please recognize the teaching authority.”
“…authority?”
“That’s right. Separation of imperial authority and religious authority. We plan to join hands with the imperial palace to plan the world.”
“…!”
“I will tell you in more detail.”
Hu Yaosheng’s eyes shone brightly.
“Please recognize our school as the state religion in the newly reborn world.”
