Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 117

EP.117 The History of the Bottomless Pit

“I expected too much from a beginner.”

If you don’t know, why don’t you study? Maybe what you’re doing is getting into it and looking at it.

The regressor was furious at my provocation.

“I know! The Abyss is a hole made by an old tyrant who slaughtered prisoners and received the wrath of the Earth Mother!”

“That’s exactly what you learn in elementary school. Now, the chief of the secondary military school will explain.”

It was a solid fact to be angry at, so the regressor didn’t even get angry. The speechless regressor spoke childishly.

“You said you were level 0? How do you become the top of your secondary school?”

“I really don’t know. If you disappear like a ghost without notifying the school, you will immediately become level 0. We call that a dropout.”

I can’t even refute it. A regressor would never have experienced it.

While the regressor hesitated, I explained the advanced history course taught at the secondary military school.

“After the overlord who defeated the rebels by force of arms took many prisoners, the overlord decided to kill all 300,000 prisoners for an example while solving the food problem simply. However, it was considered taboo to kill an enemy and not bury it at the time when the belief in the god of earth spread. It was an embarrassing thing for the king, who was already driving around corpses. So, the king wanted to eliminate the belief in the mother god along with the captives.”

What is the easiest way to get rid of faith?

Simple. You just have to get your reputation down.

So certain that it cannot be recovered.

“In those days, there were vagrants who called themselves burials and got food instead of burying the dead. In the early days, civilians welcomed them for doing dirty work, but as the war lengthened and there were more vagrants who only begged for food, they gradually hated them. Sometimes thieves went around calling themselves burials.

The Paewang aimed at that point. He called all the burial people from all over the country saying that many deaths awaited him. Using the burial goods of soldiers who are about to die as bait.”

The Earth Mother, who was once the mother of everyone who stood on the ground, began to decline from then on. The time when the divided empire, the disappearing emperor, and the kings who wanted to become the emperor by reuniting the empire waged a bloody war.

Countless wars were fought, mountains were piled up with corpses, and rivers were stained with blood. In the midst of successive deaths and the number of tragedies, the candidates for emperor were narrowed down to two.

The King of Kings and the King of Victory.

With two kings where everything is diametrically opposed, including the outcome.

“At that time, the burials, whose number had increased enough to increase, gathered like clouds, not even thinking that it was the beginning of an enormous massacre. No, maybe I knew but pretended not to know. They must have come aiming for the burial goods of prisoners who are about to die.”

The messenger of the king shouted at the workers of the Earth Mother who gathered like a swarm of insects.

“The King ordered the gathered burials. I will kill them all and put them in the pit you have dug. So you dig a hole as big as possible. As the number goes into it, there will be as many burial items you can take.

The burial people, who turned their eyes to the riches at the declaration, scrambled to dig the ground.”

Wandering burials who needed the death of others to fill their boats. They prepared 300,000 tombs in the name of obeying the will of the Earth Mother, pretending not to know what their actions would look like.

The burials dug for three days and three nights. With each passing day, the ground crumbled, and piles of earth as large as gardens appeared around them.

The bowl of desire was bigger than anything else. Even a pit for 300,000 bodies would not satisfy their desire.

After only three days and three days.

The burial diggers dug a large pit that could easily accommodate 300,000 people.

“When the tomb was completed like that… the first to be pushed under it were none other than the burials whose eyes sparkled with anticipation. The King had no intention of keeping them alive from the beginning, who were blind to them.”

“Oops!”

The Undead let out a groan. The regressor was paying full attention to my words, not sure where to look for dissatisfaction.

Only Tyr had a puzzled look on his face.

what? Who should be the most interesting. Normally, I would have focused more on old stories than anyone else.

‘It’s a little different from the story I used to know…’

Huh? do you know this story? A living historian?

Damn militia! What the hell did you teach me? No cross-validation?

It’s just embarrassing to say more wrong things. I hastily ended the story.

“At that time, the buried people who died along with 300,000 people poured a curse on the king. The Earth Mother accepted the request and cursed the king. where he caused the massacre. This place has become an abyss, and the vicinity has become a desolate wasteland where not a drop of water flows and not a single blade of grass grows.”

There was something I wanted to say, but I hurriedly finished my explanation because I felt embarrassed if a living witness of history denied it after I said it.

“That historic place is right here in the bottomless pit.”

As I finished my story, the Undead asked as if he had been waiting.

“Wait a minute, sir. Did the merciful Mother Goddess really do that? Can’t you use a piece of land at all?”

I knew that too a little while ago. Because that’s what I’ve been learning.

In this case, what is needed is a method of avoiding responsibility.

“- I learned. At the military secondary military school. If I am wrong, please contact the Military Education Office. It’s not my fault.”

“no. It’s a little different from what I’ve heard. I thought it was caused by the wrath of the heavenly abyss.”

The Undead told me what I had heard, but it just seemed unreasonable to me.

I understand that Tyr, who is a living history book and lived in a similar period, is tackling. he’s the mastermind

But what you point out is unacceptable. This is the pride of civilized people.

Even if I say …, it’s not like I can do anything.

“As Mr. Rash said, there are other views. Burials who distorted the will of the Earth Mother and actively cooperated with the massacre. There is also a theory that the bottomless pit is the trace of the angels who punished them for eternity.”

Whether you fall into a pit or an abyss, death is the same thing. The only difference is that those who fall into the abyss cannot be embraced by the Earth Mother after death.

Then there was an opinion that the curse of the abyss was directed at the burial…

“Anyway, this is all I know of the story.”

The sudden end made the regressor dissatisfied again.

“what? Is it over? The ending of the story is a bit clumsy.”

“After that, you know what? The king who was cursed by the god of earth walked the path of destruction. His territory became a desert with the abyss of massacre reaching 300,000 people. No matter how strong the king is, there is no way he could eat away at his support base and remain fine. Afterwards, he suffers from inferiority, and eventually gives victory to Seungwang in the final battle.”

The king was so powerful that his ambition covered the world, but he was defeated in the end.

A monk who was considered ridiculous because he was reluctant to kill to the point of being no different from a monk, but in the end won the victory.

Paewang, Paewang (霸王).

The King of Victory, the King of Victory.

It is said that this is the turning point of their power structure

. It is very different from the stories I used to know.”

“ruler! However, even a line written in a history book is worse than a word from someone who experienced that era! Listen everyone. It is a living history told by living history books!”

Tyr started talking, not realizing that I was teasing him.

“Don’t be so sure. It’s a story I’ve heard too. When I lived, the empire founded by the king was plagued by enemies attacking from beyond the wilderness. Even in those days when the followers of the Heavenly God were in power, the burial person used to roam the world.”

I guess so. Just because Seonghwangcheong was built doesn’t mean that the Great Mother faith has disappeared.

Despite the fact that awareness has not improved, the belief in Mother Earth is widespread like a weed. It cannot be rooted out even if it is determined.

“From what I heard from them, the whole series of incidents were a cowardly plan by the Seonghwangcheong. The Angelic Apostles, who had decided to side with the King from the beginning, seduced the King with sweet words, and were indignant that he had led them to slaughter 300,000 people and at the same time trample on the faith of the Great Mother.”

“oh. That’s a really interesting story. This is information that completely contradicts the interpretation so far. Do you have any evidence?”

Tyr nodded and expressed his opinion more aggressively than ever.

“The victorious King Seungwang, who became emperor, made Cheonshingyo the state religion. Also, they supported the establishment of Seonghwangcheong. They were mere priests of a wandering tribe, but in less than half a century, they had a mighty power to rule the world… Isn’t something suspicious?”

Obviously, the story Tyr heard was the closest in terms of time. If I were a historian, it would have been so important that I wanted to dig it out while living with it for the rest of my life.

But it’s too biased.

Tyr had been fighting the Seonghwangcheong all her life, and most of the storytellers she met were those who followed the Earth Mother, so she couldn’t help it.

“This, too, would be an interesting point of view.”

Tyr was visibly upset by my lukewarm response.

“You don’t believe me… But there is no lie in my words.”

“I do not doubt Tyr. Tyr’s story itself has the value of an ancient document.”

However, whether the document can be trusted is another matter.

“You know how twisted history can be depending on your point of view. Even though he himself was a person who was greatly abused by Seonghwangcheong.”

“…So, isn’t it a more reasonable story? Celestial Hypocrites Their greatest weapon has always been their voice. They are masters at arbitrarily twisting and distorting the sounds that resonate in the world. The burials of the Earth Mother may also have been caught up in it.”

‘How many stories I heard in those days! Although I have lived my whole life as an enemy of Seonghwangcheong, I have revealed my secrets and weaknesses to hunt them. It’s supposed to be reliable information, but even you…’

are really trying to make me feel sad.

When your heart stopped, didn’t you just ignore it even if you were misunderstood? Why attitude now.

“no way. I believe Tyr only if he saw the incident himself. I’m sure if you lived in the same era, but Tyr is younger than the abyss. I can’t believe that everything I’ve heard from someone telling me that Tyr is right is true.”

There seems to be a serious problem in that the target of comparison is a feature, but when I said that I was young, Tyr accepted my words with a much softer attitude.

“…that’s not it. I was born about a hundred years after the king ascended the throne.”

“is it so. Tyr is a baby compared to the bottomless pit. At that time, you don’t know how the story turned out to be wrong or what kind of rumors were circulating. As you know, the world changes rather quickly.”

“Certainly…”

‘I have not seen it myself, so I cannot be certain. As they say, I’m younger than the bottomless pit…’

Tyr nodded as if he were watching an absurd play of the times.

I clapped my hands and shouted before Tyr came to his senses.

“ruler! My misunderstandings were resolved and my knowledge increased. Shall we dig it now? Today, let’s eat freely using the ingredients that Mr. Shay brought out!”

I was about to skip it, but Tyr, who had been immersed in thought for a while, moved.

Tyr approached me with quick steps, looked up at me and said.

“…phew. What I’ve been thinking about You kept comparing the age of the bottomless pit with me. Are you making fun of me?”

oh. got caught

how do i do this

I said in a dazed voice.

“Ah ah?”

“…”

Puck. A small fist lodged in my stomach. At that moment, my back bent 90 degrees, and a beat later, a terrible pain came.

Hemorrhoids are too strong. Even after the fist touches the body, the speed does not decrease. My body floated slightly.

“Keuk! Wait Tyr…! My fists are a bit spicy…!”

“…joy.”

Tyr turned around and left the room. All the while, I lay on the floor groaning.

While I was rolling on the floor, the Undead stood looking down at me and clicked its tongue.

“Tsk tsk. I knew it would be like this. I thought of my teacher’s position and stayed still, but this is self-inflicted, sir.”

“Are you doing well…!”

Even if I get hit in the stomach, I won’t be eaten…! It’s several times better than you.

“Oh, just about that. Could you make the room warmer? Callis is still cold, perhaps because she shed a lot of blood.”

I rubbed my stomach and replied bluntly.

“Where is the individual heating in the prison? Cover me with a blanket or something.”

“You are already doing that!”

“If it’s still cold, what should I do? We sleep hugging each other.”

“That too…already…”

What is it? have you already gone there?

“Don’t get me wrong! No matter how much he doesn’t stop the woman coming, he won’t force his injured body to do anything unreasonable! It’s a big deal if it gets worse!”

As soon as Kalis gets well, he will harvest the harvest. I replied nonchalantly.

“Then you are doing everything you need to do. Go and get some food.”

The Undead rarely showed a lack of confidence.

“You must… do you have to take care of it yourself?”

“Or what am I doing?”

“That… is also strangely objectionable. Forget it. You will do it yourself.”

As it will be anyway. Once it’s on your plate, just eat it quietly. don’t bother

I lay sprawled on the floor and thought.

When the past undead that the regressor saw awakened.

Considering his remarks and actions, the lieutenant general must have visited him at that time as well. Back then, no one on Tantalus could have stopped the Lieutenant General, who was accompanied by the Cat King.

The past me would have died then.

In contrast, I am alive now.

succeded.

I did my best and escaped death. In this way, I have fulfilled my duty to myself.

Escaped Death Reversed Destiny When you’re calculating how to act after escaping.

Suddenly, the thought went all the way down the abyss.

for a moment. Come to think of it, do you think there are 300,000 corpses and the spirits of the buried people under this land? A corpse that has not rotted or been eaten by worms for over 1300 years under the abyss?

…well, nothing special.

“bruise?”

When I didn’t get up, Aji pressed his body with his front paws. I jumped up at the call.

“Then, how about processing and heat-treating the ingredients to add flavor and aroma, without any nutritional value?”

“bruise!”

Not knowing what it was, Aji barked happily.
