Chapter 90

Chapter 89

Jin Gahui, playing with the blood mist in her palm, suddenly looked at Baek Hwalin.

"Big sister, isn't this too beautiful?"

Baek Hwalin, who had turned to where Jin Gahui was without thinking, was startled.

"Damn, you scared me! Can't you stop playing with that blood?"

"Hehe, why? It's just fun."

"Think from my perspective, you bitch! Why do you only think about yourself? In this eerie night, a pale woman playing with blood is terrifying!"

Yeon Sangrok, who approached while crunching dried pork, clicked his tongue as if there was no answer.

"If that cold woman understood what I was saying, she wouldn't be crazy, right, ma'am."

Baek Hwalin turned her gaze away, looking annoyed.

"Go on your way. I'm tired."

"Hehe, don't, ma'am. The world is about to end... In this situation... Hehe."

Yeon Sangrok's lecherous gaze swept over her, and Baek Hwalin snorted.

"Crazy bastard. No matter how good my appetite is, you're not my type, you brat."

"Why? Honestly, don't you just close your eyes and eat anyone?"

"You're just... not my type."

Yeon Sangrok glared, clearly in a bad mood.

"Ma'am, this is a matter of pride, you know?"

Shaking her head and sighing, Baek Hwalin looked at Jin Gahui again.

"Hey. Do you see this guy as a man?"

"No. Just a freak."

"Did you hear that?"

"Shit."

Yeon Sangrok, crunching dried pork, lay down on the grass as if it were a blanket.

"The stars look so beautiful tonight."

Jin Gahui smiled and looked at the night sky with him.

"I wish I could dye everything in blood."

"Ugh... Shit, you give me the creeps. How can you think of such things when you see the stars?"

Baek Hwalin also looked up at the night sky.

"Life was just getting interesting, and now this. What the hell is this? Some constellation or destruction? Oh, shit, my head hurts."

"Indeed. I thought this life would be enough to live without regrets. Sigh, it's my fate. My past life was miserable too. It seems that a cursed fate can't be changed, shit."

"I, too, once had my heart set on one man. But it was all in vain. So in this life, I decided to taste every man."

Yeon Sangrok chuckled.

"Talking about getting your hair washed, are you, ma'am?"

"Hey! In my past life, I used to blush when I saw neighborhood dogs mounting each other."

"Ha! You, ma'am?"

Jin Gahui looked at them with a strange expression.

"What are you talking about all of a sudden? Past life? Big sister?"

The conversation was so natural that Baek Hwalin, who was confused for a moment, suddenly stood up.

"What, what is this!"

Yeon Sangrok also jumped up, his face frozen.

A chill ran down his spine and spread throughout his body.

"Huh?"

Not only the past life, but suddenly all the memories of eight lives filled his mind.

"Ah!"

Jin Gahui, looking as if possessed, also collapsed.

She seemed to have received a great shock.

Yeon Sangrok immediately realized that she, too, had recovered all the memories of her previous lives.

"...Kids. What is this?"

Baek Hwalin, who was examining her body, was confused.

It wasn't a typical change like becoming more powerful or having a stronger body.

Something indescribable about herself had become more distinct.

It was clearly not a physical ability like martial arts.

However,

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Jin Gahui also experienced an inexplicable change, and something had become more distinct, but the immense feeling was beyond the imagination of Baek Hwalin and Yeon Sangrok.

Just looking at her made their whole bodies tremble with an overwhelming aura.

"Hey, you..."

Yeon Sangrok, whose eyes met Jin Gahui's, stopped speaking and took a step back in fear.

Yeon Sangrok's eyes, filled with fear, were fixed on Jin Gahui.

"Could you have reincarnated... how many times?"

Her completely transparent pupils.

"Five hundred and sixty..."

"Huh?"

Five hundred and sixty?

Yeon Sangrok found it hard to believe.

Just the memories of eight lives were confusing enough to make his head spin, but five hundred and sixty reincarnations?

"Existence power!"

Only then did Yeon Sangrok remember the concept of existence power he had heard from Jo Hui.

Even with the memories of eight lives, such a surprising change in existence power had occurred.

How much more immense must Jin Gahui's existence power be, having experienced five hundred and sixty lives?

"Jahui... No, Big Sister Jahui..."

Jin Gahui smiled benevolently like a mother and stroked Baek Hwalin's head.

"Yes. Hwalin, little sister."

Baek Hwalin instinctively felt that she could be annihilated by a single gesture from Jin Gahui.

* * *

Ji Ge Yun nodded silently to the group led by Jin Gahui who had come to find him.

"The Law of Oblivion has disappeared."

"The Law of Oblivion?"

Upon recalling, they had all heard about it from Jo Hui.

Humans had the right to reincarnation, but the inevitable process in this cycle of rebirth was the 'Law of Oblivion.'

The process of memory erasure during repeated reincarnations was an unchangeable cosmic law beyond human control.

"But isn't that a law of the universe? Isn't it unbreakable?"

In response to Baek Hwalin's question, Ji Ge Yun smiled slightly and pointed to her forehead.

"Of course, the cause is the Dharma Sutra."

Baek Hwalin stroked the neural link chip embedded in her forehead.

"Because of this?"

"The power of the Dharma Sutra is not just about awakening humans with extrasensory perception. If that were the only effect, such a long period of research wouldn't have been necessary."

Yeon Sangrok spoke up.

"Then is all of this Jo Hui's arrangement?"

However, Ji Ge Yun's face was filled with doubt.

"Yes, but he said that not everyone who inscribed the Dharma Sutra on their body would succeed."

"Then we must be lucky. All three of us have lost the Law of Oblivion."

Ji Ge Yun refreshed the atmosphere.

"To complete it, he conducted experiments for an unimaginably long time. We shouldn't curse his evil deeds. His soul is already in tatters."

"..."

"Anyway... People who have lost the weakness of mortality! How about it? According to Jo Hui, the existence power of humans who have lived over a hundred lives can rival the constellations!"

Yeon Sangrok laughed bitterly.

"Unfortunately, I'm not at that level. Just eight times."

"What can you do? What about you?"

Baek Hwalin also shook her head.

"Only five times."

Ji Ge Yun clicked his tongue in disappointment.

"Your souls are at the level of children. With that level of existence power, it's impossible to face the constellations. Be especially careful during the Constellation War. If your soul is devoured, you won't be able to reincarnate again. It will be the end."

"Ah, I understand."

"Tsk."

Ji Ge Yun looked at Jin Gahui.

"Be careful too. Dying from physical destruction is fine, but don't let your soul be devoured. Understand?"

"I remember everything."

"What do you remember?"

Yeon Sangrok was smiling meaningfully.

"She has been reincarnated since before humans knew how to handle bronze."

Ji Ge Yun was startled.

"What, what are you saying?"

If it was before the age of bronze, it was a time so distant and ancient that it couldn't be described simply as prehistoric.

"How many times have you reincarnated?"

"Five hundred and sixty times."

"What!"

Even if one had lived a hundred lives, their existence power would be comparable to the cosmic entities known as the constellations. Five hundred and sixty times?

No one had ever heard of someone who had lived such an incredible number of lives, not even from Jo Hui.

Jin Gahui must be someone Jo Hui had never experienced.

The fact that she had lived through ancient, even mythological times, filled Ji Ge Yun with a sense of reverence.

He wanted to hear all of her experiences, even if it meant staying up all night, but he couldn't.

Her face was filled with sorrow.

"We must find a loophole. We need to support the night raid immediately."

"What?"

"If we can't stop his harvest, everything will be over."

Ji Ge Yun was speechless.

Jo Hui had left to monitor the constellations, the task of finding the 'loophole' was the night raid, and preparing for the final battle was his own responsibility.

All of Jo Hui's companions knew that they had thoroughly divided their tasks according to the plan they had made together.

Suddenly, Ji Ge Yun looked as if he had realized something.

"Could it be...?"

Jin Gahui nodded slowly.

"Yes. I have already experienced one annihilation."

Suddenly, fragments of the past rose in Jin Gahui's mind.

The infinite liquid, water, poured out by the powerful constellation 'Mysterious Cloud' of the Western Galaxy.

Until then, people had never seen water fall from the sky, so they just stared in amazement.

How could they have known that this mysterious sight would last for over 150 days?

As the world was submerged in water, people gathered at the highest point on the ground.

A hellish scene.

On the shrinking land, fathers pushed their sons to avoid drowning, and daughters stepped on their mothers to climb up.

Amid the cries, screams, and sounds of terror,

After the rain stopped, countless constellations appeared in the sky with a brilliant light.

Everyone rejoiced, thinking they had been saved by the descent of the gods, but it was a complete illusion.

The highest ground in the world was the last altar of humanity.

A festival.

The constellations feasted on the living, tearing apart souls and bodies.

In just four days,

The millions of humans were devoured alive in just four days.

"Goodness..."

"Ah..."

Jin Gahui's companions were frozen in horror at her terrifying description.

"But fortunately, there was a boat. Of course, it was made by Him. Without that boat... the history of humanity would have ended."

Everyone was speechless, and Jin Gahui sighed, sending a finger wind to the ground.

舟.

The character she drew with the finger wind was 舟, meaning 'boat'.

Jin Gahui sent another finger wind.

파팟-

The character 舟 was erased, and a new character appeared in its place.

"Those who survived changed the character for 'boat'. Eight (八) humans emerged (口) from the boat (舟)."

船.
