Chapter 205: Dimensional Gate Connection (1)

Tae-ju crossed over from Hwangcheon-gye to the Immortal Realm.

He set down Ilisambaeyi from his chest onto the ground.

“You’ll stay here for a while before leaving.”

“Meow?”

Perhaps because it was an unfamiliar world, Ilisambaeyi kept looking around here and there.

“Over there is a place called the Hwansu Realm, where many spirit beasts live.”

“Meooooow….”

“Go visit them as a greeting.”

“Meow!”

“Since you’re going as a newbie to say hello, you can’t just go empty-handed….”

Tae-ju separately prepared snacks and foods that the spirit beasts would like, put them in a subspace bag, and had Ilisambaeyi hold it in its mouth.

“Take this with you.”

“Meow.”

Then he went to Seon-gye World and met Baek Hong-pyo.

He looked exactly as he had seen through the video.

‘Is this a Cheonin’s body?’

Body replacement, complete body change.

Transformation and rebirth was nothing compared to this.

His physique was so good that he could reach the pinnacle immediately upon learning martial arts, truly worthy of being called a body that only Cheonin possess.

‘Indeed, people should live virtuously.’

It would be nice if Earth’s real world was like this too.

A world where the simple principle of rewarding good and punishing evil applies to everyone, where the virtuous go to heaven and the wicked fall to hell.

“Seo-yeon knows that I’m in the Heavenly Realm?”

“Yes, only Seo-yeon knows. No one else does, so when are you thinking of returning to Earth?”

Baek Hong-pyo pondered for a moment.

“…I wonder if there’s nothing wrong with the Happy Village.”

“Seo-yeon and the children are taking good care of it.”

Not only that?

She’s creating a welfare foundation to seriously try living virtuously.

“Are you perhaps thinking of settling down here? Well, I wouldn’t stop you though.”

“Not at all! I have to go back. It’s just that I’ve grown quite attached to this place too… just a little longer.”

“Haha, as you wish, return to Earth whenever you feel like it.”

“I’ll go when the Heavenly Realm Apartment is completed.”

Come to think of it, I’d like to visit the Heavenly Realm Apartment construction site too.

I know the progress status, but seeing it with my own eyes is different.

Suddenly!

“Tae-ju siiiir!”

Someone came running from over there at lightning speed.

Baek Hong-pyo jumped up in surprise and shouted.

“Oh oh oh, Hae, Haemak Seonnyeo, don’t run, go slowly! You’ll fall like that!”

Sure enough.

“Oh my!”

Haemak Seonnyeo fell forward and rolled toward them with a forward roll.

Rolling rolling….

“Oh, no!”

“Are you okay?”

However.

“Heave-ho!”

Haemak stood up briskly with a spirited expression.

As if nothing had happened, she dusted herself off and straightened the disheveled flowers in her hair.

“Tae-ju sir!”

“…Yes yes.”

“Grandfather Sangje wants to meet you!”

“Me?”

“Yes!”

The Jade Emperor.

The ruler of the Heavenly Realm.

The representative of the Heavenly Deities.

I didn’t get to meet him during my previous temporary ascension.

This works out well.

I have things to ask anyway.

“Alright. Let’s go…. Is it far from here?”

“If we run, we’ll get there quickly!”

She’ll fall again while running.

Since Haemak is also a Cheonin, even if she falls a hundred times, she won’t get a scratch.

“Let’s take a car.”

“Eh? I didn’t bring a car though.”

“I have one.”

Which one should I take out?

A compact car? Mid-size car? SUV? Or….

‘Something fast.’

Tae-ju took out a Ferrari supercar.

“Wow! I’ve never seen this car before!”

“Get in the passenger seat.”

“…Hmm, mm, mmmmm.”

Haemak looked at Tae-ju with sparkling eyes.

Cute.

Such pure eyes.

Really, every time this happens, my heart pounds like crazy.

There’s a saying about dying from heart fluttering, and I really think that could happen.

“Do you want to drive yourself?”

Nod nod.

Haemak kept shaking her head up and down.

“Can you do it?”

Nod nod.

There’s no choice.

Let’s let her try.

Tae-ju and Haemak got into the car together.

“Seatbelt!”

Though there’s probably no need to wear it.

“Yes.”

Click!

Whirr!

The Ferrari electric supercar glided forward smoothly.

There was one thing Tae-ju had forgotten.

Haemak was the best driver famous in the Heavenly Realm, and she had first learned to drive through mini-car racing.

There aren’t many cars on the road either.

No, there are almost none.

Zero to sixty in 1 second.

Beeeeeep!

After 3 seconds, 200 km/h.

“…Whoa.”

Good thing I fastened my seatbelt.

Tae-ju quietly raised his hand to grab the safety handle.

Haemak, the heavenly driver with flowers in her hair.

Leaning her upper body close to the driver’s seat, eyes narrowed in concentration as she rapidly turned the steering wheel, freely shifting the manual gears.

Beeeeeep!

Screeeeech!

‘Cr-crazy!’

It was clearly a car driving on the road, but it felt like flying.

It wasn’t just the speed.

On curved roads, she even drifted.

Vroooom!

“…Wow!”

My body was thrown to one side.

I couldn’t think straight at all.

Suddenly!

Screech!

The supercar came to an abrupt stop.

“Huh! Why, why?”

“Red light! We have to follow traffic signals!”

“…”

What about the speed?

Is it okay to ignore that?

Anyway, we reached the Heavenly Realm in no time.

Through the car window, I could see apartment buildings rising at a frightening pace.

‘Really amazing.’

When Dok-seon visited Earth, he took a huge amount of cement.

Now if he comes one more time and just takes interior materials and fixtures, it should be complete.

Screeech!

Before I knew it, the car had stopped in front of Jamigung.

“We’re here!”

She could go to Earth and participate in F1 races.

“I’ll give you this car as a gift.”

“Huh? I already have a car though.”

“The more the better, right? Make sure to drive safely.”

“Thank you!”

The cheerful Haemak Seonnyeo put the car in gear again.

Vrooom!

The supercar flew down the heavenly roads.

She must have really liked it.

…She won’t get in an accident, will she?

* * *

Cheonkye Jamigung.

Takdap Sinjang came out to greet me in advance.

“I shall escort you. This way.”

As we went inside.

“Welcome.”

“Haha, this is the first time seeing you in person.”

Two people greeted Tae-ju.

“I am Sangje, who manages the Heavenly Realm.”

Then who is the other person?

“I’m the Dragon King who manages the seas.”

Sangje and the Dragon King were together.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kim Tae-ju from Earth.”

“I wanted to meet you. When I heard you came, I called the Dragon King too.”

“Ah, yes.”

The conversation began.

The topics were about how Earth’s world operates, the changing upper realms, and the situation where these two worlds are gradually connecting.

“Won’t this dimensional exchange have side effects?”

“How could there not be? But they won’t be too severe. If there were problems, they would have erupted already. And there are more benefits than side effects.”

“I think so too. I just regret that our Dragon Palace joined late. Ugh! I should have sold the Dragon Orb quickly.”

Tae-ju agreed too.

There weren’t really any bad points from the worlds connecting.

Various new medicines and antidotes, MRC, the ability to cross seas, and with the Immortals’ help, alien monsters and Beyond demons were also eliminated.

“How is it? Earth has improved a lot too, right?”

“It’s unrecognizable.”

“Same with us.”

Still, there were questions.

“How did the soul connections come about? Seeing that there are more soul connectors besides me, it seems like some tremendous force was at work.”

To Tae-ju’s question, Sangje said.

“First, let me ask you something. Do you think there are gods on Earth or not?”

“Well…”

“There probably are. Either you can’t sense them, or they’re something beyond human imagination.”

“Hmm.”

I had actually thought about it.

Just as upper realms exist in Gangho Murim, I wondered if Earth had something similar.

Take the awakening system, for instance.

“Actually, strictly speaking, we’re not gods.”

“What?”

“The Heavenly Deities are the true gods. The laws that operate and define this world – me, the Dragon King here, Yama – we’re all just representatives of the Heavenly Deities.”

Sangje’s explanation continued.

“The Heavenly Deities have no physical form. They only have will.”

“…Will?”

“The dimensional will that determines the world’s direction. I believe our worlds were connected by that will.”

“Ah!”

Meaning they were connected by dimensional will.

I couldn’t know if Sangje’s words were right or wrong.

“Earth probably faced a crisis at some point. A crisis severe enough to completely destroy the world.”

That’s right.

There were more than one or two times it almost perished.

The mana invasion was the beginning.

Combined with global warming, the damage was even more severe.

It wasn’t limited to just humans – all life forms living on Earth faced extinction.

Even after connecting with the Immortal Realm, threats continued.

Drek Karaks who raised the undead, Vincent Moretti who opened gates to other dimensions and summoned terrible monsters with destructive instincts, and the Dragon God of Wuhan in old China.

All were sufficient to destroy Earth.

Though everything has been resolved now.

“So you’re saying dimensional will required the connection between worlds.”

That makes sense.

“Right. So I’ll also act according to my will. My will is the will of the heavenly deities.”

“What?”

“You’re feeling it even now, aren’t you? That this world is pushing you out.”

“That’s right. I was already thinking I’d have to return to Earth soon.”

“I’m going to solve that problem. That’s why I called you here.”

“What? How…?”

“Kim Tae-ju, I will recognize you as a resident of our Human Realm.”

As soon as Sangje finished speaking.

Swoooosh!

Something changed inside my body.

The pushing sensation completely disappeared.

“From now on, you’ll be able to stay in this Human Realm and the upper realms as you wish.”

“Ah!”

So I won’t suddenly disappear like the Immortals do?

“Now! Come talk with me for a bit.”

The Dragon King seems to have something to say too.

“I heard you don’t just carry a pure dragon orb? That thing from the other realm’s dragon…”

“It’s a Dragon Heart.”

“Right, Dragon whatever, tsk tsk, with such impure energy mixed in, shall I remove it for you?”

“Well…”

From the Dragon King’s perspective, the Dragon Heart was indeed impure.

But it was because of that I was able to cross over to Gangho Murim.

So Tae-ju explained to the Dragon King how the Dragon Heart had functioned.

“Oh! So that’s how it happened. That’s still a dragon orb though…? May I examine it for a moment?”

“By all means.”

The Dragon King gently placed his hand on Tae-ju’s chest.

After a moment.

“Tsk tsk, it’s unstable as expected.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“Not that, but the dragon orb’s energy and the Dragon Heart haven’t properly merged. It’s become neither this nor that.”

“But I did manage dimensional travel.”

“Can you do it again?”

“…No, it’s difficult right now.”

The Dragon King was right.

I can’t ascend, and I can’t open a gate again either.

“It needs organizing. Let’s separate what’s combined and recombine it properly. Then you’ll be able to use it properly.”

“What do you mean by use it properly?”

“I mean you’ll be able to use dimensional travel techniques.”

Really?

Without the soul-mediated dimensional gate generator, I could freely travel between Earth and Gangho, Gangho and the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm and Earth anytime?

But.

“Won’t there be problems if I just open gates freely? They are different worlds after all.”

Sangje quietly whispered an answer to Tae-ju’s question.

“Actually, there’s already someone who can open them.”

“What?”

“The conditions for direct dimensional travel between Earth and the upper realms have been met.”

What does this mean?

“Through your connection, the souls of celestials and evil ones crossed over, didn’t they?”

“Ah! Could it be Yama King…?”

“Correct. This is a secret, but he opened it. I confirmed it myself.”

So that’s how it turned out.

Well then.

“Please do it.”

“Leave it to me. I’ll clean it up nicely.”

I’m just grateful.

Both being recognized as a resident of Gangho and the Dragon King’s proposal.

“Thank you. I won’t forget this kindness. If I could offer some reward…”

Sangje and the Dragon King waved their hands dismissively.

“Oh my! A reward! That’s fine.”

“What kindness is this little thing?”

“…Well, it would be perfect if there were some Immortal Realm coins.”

“Me too. I always have to borrow Haemak’s coins when I want to buy things.”

“You’re still better off, Sangje. Haemak’s coins can be repaid later, but I have nowhere to borrow from.”

“You could just use negative payment.”

“Don’t you know how scary loan interest is?”

I can ask Dok-seon to deposit coins later.

“Now! Let’s get started.”

“Here? Right now?”

“Is there any need to wait? Let’s get it done right away.”

Will I really be able to gain the power to open dimensional gates?

I’ll be able to confirm it once the procedure is finished.

* * *

After the commotion in Hwangcheon-gye ended, the Immortals gathered at the multiplex.

The bustling 1st floor tavern.

There was a commotion about Namgung Hun, who died at the hands of the Swordsman, and Dok-seon’s worldly connections.

“This is the problem when you’ve just ascended. Your worldly connections are still alive and well.”

“I was the same. It doesn’t get cleanly resolved, but after about 200 years, I felt free from those connections.”

“200 years isn’t nearly enough. At least 500 years need to pass…”

Then Ha Seon-go said.

“Dok-seon! Shall I divine for you? How the Sichuan Tang Family will have changed after one year.”

“Hmm.”

“This requires a lot of immortal energy. I’ll have to pay the price for revealing heavenly secrets too, so about 3 million coins would be appropriate…”

Maehwa Seonin also.

“I could appear in the dreams of Huashan’s sect leader in the mortal world and ask him to take care of the Dang Clan. For 2 million coins…”

But Danggumak flatly refused.

“No need. I’d rather go down myself. Tae-ju is there too.”

Then several Immortals looked disappointed.

This time they turned their attention to the red robe Dok-seon was holding.

“Is this the treasure Dok-seon left behind when he ascended?”

“That’s right.”

“Tsk tsk, it’s shabby, so shabby.”

“…”

And so a treasure evaluation meeting suddenly began.

“It’s unbearable to look at. The treasure’s function is just an infinite pouch.”

“Right. No flight technique, no energy barrier, no water and fire immunity.”

“If the capacity were at least large, I wouldn’t say anything. You call it an infinite pouch but it’s only the size of a subspace bag.”

“Don’t call it a treasure anywhere.”

After ruthlessly criticizing it first.

The Swordsman was the first to subtly hint.

“For 50,000 coins, I could even engrave flight techniques.”

“I’ll add a protective barrier of defensive energy for 20,000 coins.”

“Water and fire immunity for 30,000 coins.”

“I’m being generous. Just give me 10,000 coins. I’ll engrave a binding spell formation so it can never be stolen.”

Danggumak’s ears perked up with interest.

“Then let’s see you do it.”

“Ohhh! I’ll do it right away. Payment upfront.”

“Not a chance, payment after confirmation.”

“Deal!”

This was a reasonable price.

‘If Cheolhwi wears this, he won’t go around getting beaten up everywhere.’
