Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 859
＃Medicine Genius Wizard Episode 859
Handover (27)
Ascended Handbook A ritual space created by Padmé Chiesa.
The conscious body of Cheongyeon that we face on behalf of Handyang in this space that entered through the guardian spirit beast’s unconsciousness.
However, as soon as he calmed down Cheongyeon, what Lennok heard was something completely different from what he expected.
“A failed Ascendant… shows what happens to him after he dies?”
“It would be obvious if you came to see Padme even though you are not the incarnation of the Foreign God or the Foreign God himself.”
Cheongyeon, with his arms crossed, answered with an expression of displeasure.
“If you reach that level and still wander around looking for something, what you want is already decided.”
“….”
“Qualifications to challenge for ascension. “Aren’t you trying to ask how you can get it?”
Cheongyeon smiled as if he knew what Lennok was thinking.
“It’s not a bad choice. Padme doesn’t have much interest in humans, but she’s exceptional at theorizing about sensory aspects. “Even if you can’t be a teacher, you’re perfect as an instructor.”
“…no.”
“I think Grimulder did it because he was born with a talent that he acquired while adjusting the magic that was tailored to the human species, not to humans… Well, it doesn’t really matter anymore, does it?”
Cheongyeon muttered that and nodded lightly toward the back of the altar.
“Anyway, there’s a story I want to hear, so I’ll help you with this much. “There’s not much time left, so let’s go right away.”
“No, I’m not talking about the handbook.”
Lennok, who interrupted Cheongyeon, hesitated and spoke.
“I have seen a failed ascender die. “He was an ascendant who went crazy after a challenge and committed suicide by attacking foreign media.”
“Hoo.”
“I know there is a way to do that. But why does it have to do with this situation?”
Gyebaek Aurel Silford. An ascender who was created to fail to ascend in the central city.
Lennok had already seen once at the well of the handbook how he had been ruined and what kind of ending he had met.
Through Gyebaek’s work, Lennok knows that killing foreign gods is one way to challenge ascension.
However, regardless of whether that method is feasible for Lennok, it is ultimately impossible without meeting the foreign press in person.
Either he should jump out of the well like Gyebaek and commit suicide toward foreign media, or he should wait for the moment when the world ends like the leader.
Either way, it was an overly vague story for Lennok.
What Lennok wants is not to use the ending of the world as a turning point to reach level 9.
He was already ready to give his answer at the moment when all cause and effect came to an end.
For that to happen, you must already complete all preparations to challenge ascension before the ending arrives.
Obtaining the qualification and rising to level 9 is the process for him.
However, as soon as Cheongyeon heard Lennok’s story, he frowned as if he was displeased.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “That’s not what the death of a qualified ascendant means.”
“What do you mean?”
“The end of a transcendent person who has built a reputation comparable to the world.”
Cheon Gyeon smiled bitterly.
“The worst ending that comes after burning out all the aspirations you have built up throughout your life. “I’m going to show it to you.”
“….”
“Even though it is Padme’s consciousness and not reality, it will be enough to tell you what it feels like.”
The moment Cheongyeon said that and stretched out his hand, the ground beneath their feet bent like a stick of taffy and disappeared as if they were being sucked in.
Whoa…!!
A strange phenomenon in which the ground itself, where Lennok and Cheongyeon are standing, moves as if forcibly folding, transporting the two people a great distance in an instant.
Lennok, who was looking at the shape of the ground sliding quickly under his feet, asked with a strange look of admiration.
“Rather than moving directly, it compresses the actual space and makes the movement path extremely short. “Is this possible in reality?”
“It is forcing the scenery that should be seen at the departure and arrival points to be connected.”
Cheongyeon answered as if it was no big deal.
“The condition is that there must be no obstacles, but any place where the concept of seeing can be remembered and shared is fine.”
“….”
First of all, it is a supernormal ability that condenses the route you need to take only to places you have visited and memorized, and allows you to reach them in an instant.
In the act of observing something, heavenly view is already a concept itself.
Even though it is a conscious body that has cut and pasted the heavenly view of the past, it freely handles the supernormal abilities of an ascended person.
Cheongyeon looked back at Lennok, who was closely observing the passing scenery, and asked quietly.
“You seem quite interested in the abilities I’m dealing with. Would you like me to teach you?”
“…what?”
“It’s a joke. Jindun can’t take away the successor he chose. “That is so cruel.”
Cheongyeon laughed and patted Lennok on the shoulder.
“I never thought that that bratty barrier wizard would take on more disciples before he died. “When I first saw you, I thought you might be Jin Dun’s body.”
“….”
“I thought I would spend my whole life looking for just the two of you, but seeing as you changed your mind in your later years, it seems I liked you more than I thought. “Shall we have a game later?”
“No, that’s…” The reason why
Ascendant Jindun Zigis Ethernor passed down the barrier technique to Lennok and told him the secrets of the world was not purely because of Lennok’s talent.
A deal shared between the leader of Pandemonium and Jindun before his death.
It may have been to give up his wish and accept death, but to leave possibilities other than the leader in reality until the end.
Considering the leader’s actions, Cheon-gyeon may have been offered a similar deal.
If Cheongyeon’s death after failing to ascend to heaven was also the result of a leader’s deal, similar to Jindun’s.
The moment Lennok remembered that, he was about to ask Cheon Gyeon a question.
“We have a little time before we arrive, so let’s talk about what we didn’t say before.”
Cheongyeon smiled slightly and opened his mouth.
She looked around and muttered as if making an excuse.
“Padme’s world of consciousness is overwhelmingly wide even among the ascended ones. So, if you want to get to the end of consciousness space, you have no choice but to use this method.”
“…What are you talking about?”
Was the reason you chose this means of transportation so that you could have time to talk separately with Lennok?
Since we cannot guess Cheon-gyeon’s intentions, there is no reason to hastily go along with his actions.
However, even though Cheongyeon looked at Lennok with a cautious expression, he did not show any particular reaction.
“I am the Madrea Falseer who exists here, but I am just another possibility that has escaped the reality of death.”
However, he just quietly opened his mouth as if he was thinking about something.
“I had decided how I wanted to die one day, but I wasn’t really sure I could do it myself.”
“….”
“It’s true that I worried about whether I could have done well until the end… How was it?”
Cheongyeon quietly closed his eyes and asked.
“Did I, the person you met, devote myself to my mission until the moment of my death?”
“…well. “I’m not sure.”
Lennok, who had been silent, answered.
“Because the person I met seemed so worn out that I couldn’t explain it in detail.”
“…”
“However, I think it was a little different from regret. “If that were the case, at least I wouldn’t have left and passed on the mission to Lapis.”
The first time she spoke directly with Cheon Gyeon was when she came to Balkan.
And it was only at that time that she glimpsed the memory of her encounter with the doctor through his memories.
The sentiment I felt while looking at Lennok’s view of heaven in his later years was nothing more than a fragment of vague and bottled-up emotions rather than regret and remorse.
Yes, if I were to be specific, it was rather….
“She sympathized with the world.”
“….”
“I pitied this world until the moment I died after failing to ascend to heaven.”
The moment Lennok answered like that, he realized why he still remembered Cheongyeon so strongly.
From the time he recognized Lennok’s talent and warned him about Alkaid.
Even the moment of laughing at and embracing his fate in the doctor’s memory.
Madrea Falseer felt sorry for this world.
I tried to sympathize, have mercy, and help all life and concepts that exist in this world, regardless of good or evil.
He leaves without seeing everything he has done in keeping with his mission come to fruition in the end.
Maybe that was the only regret Madrea Falseer had left.
After hearing those words, Cheon Gyeon did not respond for a long time.
“I see…”
He pondered Lennok’s words in an eternity-long silence and finally uttered one word.
“Did I ultimately fail to ascend to heaven and die?”
“….”
“You must have known that you would fail… In the end, you ended up doing exactly what you first thought.”
Cheongyeon shook his head with a sad smile.
“But I knew it would happen.”
The hair slowly shaking along with the nods contained indescribable emotions.
Lennok quietly watched Cheongyeon’s regret and asked.
“…Why did you receive a mission and become an ascendant? If it were you, you would have reached a similar position at some point. “Aren’t you aware of it yourself?”
Not everyone who inherits the mission of a lighthouse keeper can become an ascendant.
Although it is possible to quickly tap into one’s potential through pre-existing abilities, it is up to the individual to ultimately reach it.
Moreover, Cheongyeon is a transcendent person who leaves such memories in the conscious space even after death.
Even if she didn’t necessarily follow the mission, with her temperament and talent, she would definitely have been able to challenge for ascension or reach that level.
However, Cheongyeon’s answer was a little different from what Lennok had thought.
“Because I was the only one.”
The smile on Cheongyeon’s mouth turned bitter.
“No one could have done it but me.”
“….”
“I don’t think that everything I did was for the world. I didn’t keep my mission just for that noble reason. But…”
Cheongyeon’s eyes were filled with utmost confidence.
“I just thought that if someone had to do something, I should do it.”
“….”
“No matter how much I regret, no matter how much I suffer, even if I fail to ascend to heaven and die alone, this decision will not change.”
Cheongyeon said calmly.
“Because I decided to love this world. “I made that choice a long time ago.”
“That’s…”
Lennok tried to say something but eventually closed his mouth.
A noble will that surpasses humanity. The mission was not maintained because of the responsibilities of the transcendent.
It is not like splitting one’s consciousness to shine on the open sea in the hope of receiving compensation or compensation.
The reason why I was able to act despite my regrets and hesitation, believing that the end would be the same as the beginning.
She simply loved this world in which she was born and lived.
“…Right. understood.”
Now I think I understand why Heavenly Gyeon is said to be the most ally of humans among the Ascended.
Because she had an extremely humane nature and did not let it go until the very end.
The story ended just the way she wanted. There is no reason or room to add anything.
After thinking that far, Lennok put aside his thoughts and asked.
“But why didn’t you, in real life, meet the worst possible outcome even after failing to ascend?”
“….”
Cheongyeon, who had been lost in contemplation with a sad look, looked away with an absurd expression.
Lennog ignored Cheongyeon’s reaction and asked shamelessly.
“You spoke as if something would happen immediately due to the Ascendant’s death, but it was very quiet when you died. “There must be a reason.”
“…He’s like a wizard. “Are you not even giving me time to appreciate it?”
Cheongyeon wiped the corners of his eyes and immediately turned his back.
“Well, okay. Since we’ve arrived, it would be quicker to talk while looking at that.”
Faaah!!
Everything around glows so brightly that it becomes a pure white line, and then fades out in an instant.
In terms of time, it is a short period of time, less than 5 minutes. But in the meantime, the two people had reached the edge of this magnificent ritual space.
“The door is over there. “Maybe we’ll find out as soon as we arrive.”
“You keep mentioning the door earlier. Are you sure you are referring to the passageway connected to the open sea?”
Lennok, who was walking behind Cheongyeon, asked.
“It is also called a well. “If you’ve seen the handbook, there’s no way you wouldn’t know it, right?”
“know. However, I heard that most of those doors are closed and under strict management. Why does such a door exist in the consciousness space of the handbook?”
While working on Pandemonium, Lennok knew that a [door] connected to the open sea existed in this closed world.
The well of the handbook or the beacher that exists in the basement of the Kabahim palace that the door clown was looking for from outside the continent.
In addition, the passage to the open sea, which is not known to the public, is kept closed in utmost secrecy.
However, this is something that happens in reality, not in this conscious space.
Is it possible for such a passage to exist in this intangible space where only each other’s consciousness and memories exist?
However, Cheongyeon did not answer Lennok’s question right away.
He looked back at Lennok in silence and just smiled and shook his head.
“It looks like Jindun hasn’t neglected his teachings to you. “You know most of the facts except the most important ones, right?”
“….”
“The fact that causality is closed is proof that the world is disconnected from the open ocean. Normally, there shouldn’t be any passageways.”
Cheongyeon answered bluntly.
“But in this world, there is a gate connected to the open sea, like a well.”
“That’s…”
“Same. There are exceptions everywhere. This is especially true for the Ascended.”
She glanced back and said.
“Rising to level 9 is proof that you have achieved a level comparable to the world. Therefore, the consciousness of a qualified ascendant is already built like a world.”
“….”
“But the conscious world of the ascended that was created in that way is not closed to cause and effect. Do you understand what this means?”
Lennok, who immediately understood Cheon-gyeon’s words, smiled bitterly.
“It has the same status as the world, but it is not a real world, so it is easier to be connected to the open sea.”
In this world, the third is the last and the fourth does not exist.
Ascension cannot exist in a world where causality is closed, and as a result, everyone who attempted to ascend to heaven either died or went crazy after a miserable failure.
However, on the contrary, because it is a world where causality is closed, this world has been able to maintain its existence while being protected from the open sea.
The consciousness of the ascendant, who has built up a status equal to that of the world, is like a world in itself, but because it is not the real world, it is not protected from the open sea.
Cheongyeon nodded at Lennok’s words.
“Not all Ascendants have this problem. There is no way an immature being who cannot control his or her ego could become an ascendant. But the problem is-”
Squeak!!
Cheongyeon stopped in front of a dense jungle and muttered.
“There are cases where the spirit of the ascendant has completely collapsed to the point where he cannot even control his own consciousness.”
“….”
Gooooo!!!
In the sky above the magnificent jungle forest, a huge snake floats with its eyes closed, drawing a huge ring with its body.
Beyond the cracks in the distorted space within the ring, a terrible darkness with no end in sight began to seep out little by little, widening the gap.
The Subconscious in the Ascendant’s Handbook.
The consciousness of her that Lennok found had become the gate to the open sea that had been created in this world.
“This is…”
“A handbook. “Padme Chiesa carried out her mission to protect the well for so long that she even forgot what she was protecting.”
With a cold gaze, Cheongyeon looked up at the handbook’s consciousness body, which had become the gate to the open sea itself.
“Becoming an ascendant does not mean you can enjoy it for eternity. Even if you become qualified, if you do not fulfill your responsibilities or challenge yourself and force yourself to hold on, your broken spirit will completely collapse even if you do not do so.”
“….”
“The moment the conscious space where causality is not closed loses the control of its owner, the consciousness of the ascendant becomes a medium that connects reality and the ocean.”
“The spirit of an ascendant who has gone mad connects with the open sea and manifests itself in his body, affecting the real world…”
Cheongyeon said, looking back at Lennok.
“This is the worst death an ascendant can face, and it is the reason why a [door] is created in this world where causality is closed.”
