51.

‘Where in the twisted plot did the Crown Prince get connected?’

All Seon-o had done regarding the Imperial Family was meet the Emperor, and nothing had changed in that scene.

However, it was rather a good thing.

‘If things go well, I might actually get to meet the Crown Prince.’

Moreover, Yang Power strong enough to eliminate the Blood Abyss in one go.

If he could win over the Crown Prince, things would become much easier.

New plans swirled and emerged in Seon-o’s mind as he saw hope. But right now, there were things that needed to be resolved first. Seon-o stood up and said.

“I should go greet my brother and tell him I’m back.”

* * *

Making an excuse to Yoon-han, who wanted to come along, that he wanted to greet him quietly, Seon-o headed to Ji-woon’s room alone.

Entering the quiet room, Seon-o leaned against the closed door and closed his eyes.

“Hah….”

Though he had finally reached a space where he could catch his breath, the tension throughout his body wouldn’t easily fade.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Seon-o tried to organize the burdens he had gained from this journey.

He had discovered that Cheong-eum couldn’t undergo Dragon Transformation….

“Ah, damn it. The Yin Stone….”

Seon-o stroked his neck and cursed through his teeth.

Because Cheong-eum had interfered, he had been startled and ended up swallowing the Rift Sound Stone.

This was really a big problem.

Not only was it clearly written in the original work that humans shouldn’t eat Yin Stones….

‘I need it for the next trial. Damn it.’

However, on the way back, he had deliberately tried retching, hanging upside down from a tree, and all sorts of things, but the Yin Stone stuck firmly in his belly wouldn’t come up.

But right now, there was an even bigger problem that made such things seem trivial.

It was Cheong-eum’s blue blood vessels.

“….”

Ji-woon’s room was still quiet without even the sound of breathing.

Seon-o, who had also held his breath, slowly approached Ji-woon.

‘If the blue blood vessels are a mark of Yin Energy Suppression….’

If that assumption was correct, then Ji-woon hadn’t fallen into a coma due to rampaging Yin Power, but rather from having his Yin Power suppressed.

‘…Then my brother was already a Superhuman.’

But he hadn’t told even his family about that fact.

Why on earth?

“….”

What exactly was Ji-woon’s identity?

How had Ji-woon summoned him from another world to this place?

‘This condition must also be related to calling me here.’

The questions that had been vaguely floating in his mind were finally becoming clear.

Still, Seon-o was frustrated because he couldn’t know the answers. These were questions he couldn’t figure out until Ji-woon woke up.

‘If my brother would give me even a little more hint….’

That’s when it happened.

“!”

Seon-o’s eyes widened as he saw blue blood vessels appearing again on Ji-woon’s neck.

Unlike before, a clear light was extending in a long line.

Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Seon-o became urgent and unconsciously quickly reached out to touch Ji-woon’s blood vessels.

Through his fingertips touching the neck, he could feel a faint heartbeat.

Thump. Thump.

The moment that heartbeat was transmitted to Seon-o’s heart, the surroundings instantly darkened and Ji-woon and Seon-o were sucked somewhere.

“!”

Seon-o slowly rolled her eyes while frozen in the unexpected situation.

“….”

She couldn’t believe what had happened in the blink of an eye.

Ji-woon and the bed he was lying on, as well as Seon-o’s body touching Ji-woon, were floating in empty void space.

The place where the sky, ground, and even the room that had existed just moments ago had disappeared was as quiet as outer space.

Seon-o quietly held her breath and looked down at Ji-woon.

Ji-woon was still deeply asleep, not moving at all.

‘What is this…?’

After confirming that there was nothing threatening Ji-woon and herself around them, Seon-o calmly turned her head to look around.

Then she saw something slowly revealing itself in the pitch-black darkness.

What appeared floating in the dark void was Ji-woon’s bookshelf.

Several sheets of paper were placed on the bookshelf where all the books that had filled it had disappeared.

Seon-o, who had been hesitating, finally took her hands off Ji-woon and walked toward the bookshelf.

She could intuitively tell that the mysteriously glowing papers were something Ji-woon had left for her.

This space was created by Ji-woon.

‘It’s a hint that brother left behind.’

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Seon-o picked up the paper with trembling hands.

The letters written on it were glowing blue.

Seon-o lowered her breathing and read the hint Ji-woon had left for her.

Two moons…?

What was written on the paper seemed to be a divine oracle or prophecy.

However, Seon-o frowned at the incomprehensible words beyond that and turned to the next paper.

The words written on this paper could be understood intuitively.

‘He will reach this land through his blood kin.’

It was the story of Seon-o herself and Ji-woon. Because Ji-woon had summoned Seon-o to this land.

‘The Land Where Moon’s Shadow is Hidden.’

Could this be referring to the world where I lived? That place, a world without Yin Power.

‘One who bleeds but does not die.’

Seon-o recalled how she had survived even after stabbing a sword into her heart.

She also recalled how her tears had healed Yoon-han’s wounds.

Then, am I On Gang’s hidden power?

“….”

No, that’s not right.

On Gang is me to begin with.

The me of this world.

Kang Seon-o of this world.

‘With his blood, he will be able to protect the withering dragons….’

The dragons in this passage must refer to the Prime Gods. Instantly, Seon-o thought of Cheong-eum.

Seon-o hurriedly turned to the next page.

However, the next page was miserably torn.

That was all she could make out. After that, the damage was so severe that she couldn’t tell what it meant.

Seon-o’s eyes rolled around in confusion.

‘Brother brought me here because of this prophecy.’

This was content that had never appeared in the original work.

Seon-o urgently examined the prophecy on the first page again.

Even without separate interpretation, the meaning of this passage was self-evident.

If I am the one to save the Super-Deity, then the other moon must be the one who kills the Super-Deity.

Precisely…

‘The one who possesses the power to suppress Yin Power.’

So Seon-o must indeed find him and finally defeat him to protect this world.

‘Then becoming a Phoenix means…’

Perhaps only by becoming a Phoenix could he defeat that person.

Things that had been vague became clear and seemed to pierce into his heart.

Just as Seon-o was about to examine the prophecy again, in the blink of an eye the ground he was standing on flipped over.

“!”

When he squeezed his eyes shut and opened them, Seon-o was back in Ji-woon’s Room.

The darkness had disappeared and the surroundings were already bright.

However, the Prophecy Papers were still clutched in Seon-o’s grasp. Before Seon-o’s eyes, Ji-woon’s Bookshelf filled with books as always came into view.

When he turned around, he saw Ji-woon sleeping as if nothing had happened.

He approached and examined him again, but the blue blood vessels were no longer visible.

“…”

Seon-o gripped tightly the papers that Ji-woon had given him.

Everything had been predetermined.

“Ha…”

He felt dejected, as if he had been thrown into this enormous flow of destiny without being able to resist even once.

Even having come this far, the overwhelming feeling of being adrift on a vast ocean without a single light still wouldn’t disappear.

After being immersed for a moment in that unresolvable emptiness, Seon-o soon changed his expression.
