Chapter 213: What Is the Identity of the Voice?

Beyond that dimension.

There was a place called the Miteran Continent.

A world where various races coexisted and lived together

Among them, human society had extremely developed magic thanks to abundant mana.

Each nation had three or four magic towers built, and the ruling classes like royalty and nobility were all mages.

Though mages made up only 10% of the total population, the ruling class learned magic spells from the time they could speak after birth.

At home, at school, in society.

If they had no talent, they forced it through brute effort; if they had talent, even better.

The types of magic were also diverse.

Divine magic, dark magic, flame, cold, water, wind, lightning, spirits…

This Miteran dimension also had gods.

But there was not just one god.

Multiple gods ruled over each race from a place called the Pantheon.

Ranellia was the god who governed the human race.

The Pope and priests who served her were also mages.

However, Ranellia had many complaints.

Miteran human society was sickeningly boring.

Because it had stopped changing in a magicalized society.

What would it look like if we compared human civilization from a thousand years ago to current human civilization?

They were chillingly identical.

Human food, buildings, clothing they wore – almost nothing had changed.

Even after ten thousand years, it would remain exactly the same.

In short, a stagnant world.

A solidified caste system, deeply rooted privileged class, a society where change had stopped.

With this being the case, what fun would there be in hiding one’s divine power and going out for entertainment?

Going out would just be more of the same.

Ranellia pondered.

How could she make the human world of the Miteran Continent ever-changing and vibrant?

There was only one answer.

Getting a transfusion from the outside.

She knew that the world was not just one.

The fact that there were other worlds besides the Miteran Continent.

What if she brought civilization from other worlds to transplant into the Miteran Continent?

But Ranellia could not leave Miteran.

She had pleaded through prayers to the God of gods, the Supreme God, but permission was not granted.

Secretly leaving was also impossible.

She did not possess the divine power to move between dimensions.

Perhaps the Supreme God might, but…

So she was about to give up.

Until the greedy Black Dragon Patagellaon created dimensional travel magic and fled from Miteran, claiming he would also become a god.

Ranellia was shocked.

He was so greedy that he didn’t even have the qualifications to be a balancer.

Yet he succeeded in dimensional travel magic that even she found impossible.

Ranellia once again offered prayers to the Supreme God.

Even if she couldn’t travel between dimensions herself, she wanted to at least know where Patagellaon had gone.

Somehow, her prayer received an answer.

She had thought the Supreme God wouldn’t listen, but He granted her wish.

Thus, with the transcendent divine power bestowed by the Supreme God, using Patagellaon’s dragon heart as a medium, she became able to indirectly experience other worlds.

Several facts she learned in that process.

Other worlds with various appearances and the reason Patagellaon succeeded in dimensional travel magic.

In the universe, not only were there other worlds, but there also existed intelligent beings with identical souls like doppelgangers scattered everywhere.

They even connected their souls to each other to recognize themselves.

Patagellaon succeeded in dimensional travel magic through soul connection.

Though unable to overcome his greedy nature, he committed heinous acts like soul devouring.

Anyway, whenever Ranellia had time, she observed what Patagellaon was doing and where he wandered.

She learned about the dimension called Earth at that time too.

What an ever-changing world it was!

Originally, it was a place without mana.

Then it belatedly accepted mana, and due to that aftermath, it reached the brink of destruction before barely recovering.

The civilization, learning, lifestyle they created – everything was new.

Ranellia became greedy.

How could she graft Earth’s culture onto Miteran?

But there was no particular method.

She could only watch through Patagellaon’s dragon heart.

Then an incident occurred.

The creature devoured the same soul from Earth and tried to rule a country called China, but was attacked by a terrifying weapon made by humans and fell into deep sleep.

Due to this, even indirect observation became impossible.

Ranellia waited for Patagellaon to awaken.

Had about 100 years passed?

She came to encounter extraordinary beings.

First, Patagellaon died.

By an Immortal with divine status and Monkey with divine status.

And Kim Tae-ju.

A human who, despite being human, had implanted a dragon heart into his body,

A human who possessed the divine power to cross between dimensions and connect world to world.

He even visited a place called the Immortal Realm where otherworldly gods lived, similar to the Pantheon.

Ahhh!

It was truly wondrous.

How could a human have such power?

Then what about the Miteran Continent?

Couldn’t this place be connected?

No, it might be possible.

Since Kim Tae-ju carried Patagellaon’s heart, the possibility of Miteran being connected was quite high.

Please, if only he would open the door.

So that Earth’s culture could be transmitted to Miteran human society as well,

But the doors he opened were always the same.

Every time he used the dragon heart’s power, she desperately hoped,

‘Haah, please.’

‘No, not there.’

‘I’m envious. Even something like that.’

‘We want to be connected too.’

How wonderful it would be if this earnest longing could be conveyed to the human named Kim Tae-ju.

* * *

The Sea God’s ability.

Tae-ju, who had become the ruler of the seas.

He also stopped by the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.

When he cast water spouts and spread the power of the Dragon Orb, countless mana-compatible life forms flocked to him.

Not only whales, but creatures like turtles and octopi also received the Dragon Orb’s blessing.

As time passed.

The ship navigation ban was lifted.

A large container ship began sailing from Yangsan Port to America again.

“Let’s board.”

“Yes!”

Tae-ju boarded the departing ship.

Several reporters also boarded together.

Whales escorting the ship?

How could they miss this?

Hoooonk!

The container ship left Yangsan Port while sounding its horn.

As they entered the open sea,

Splash splash splash splash!

Creatures swimming around the container ship as if escorting it.

“Look, over there!”

“Whales! Real whales!”

“Wow! …This is crazy.”

Camera reporters filmed them.

The dolphins jumped to make filming easier, showing off their agility.

“Squeak!”

“Squeak!”

“Squeeee!”

They weren’t just swimming.

From somewhere, they brought a mutant sunfish monster boasting terrifying teeth.

Boing! Boing! Boing!

A sunfish monster the size of a large truck bounced above the water surface like a beach ball.

The whales blessed by the Dragon Pearl played with the mutant sunfish.

Hitting it with their heads, striking it up with their tails…

Clap clap clap clap!

People on the ship cheered while clapping their hands.

Then the whales showed off their power even more spectacularly.

The guardians of the sea had become much stronger than expected.

Now all worries had completely disappeared.

Perhaps in about ten years, the sea monster concentration zones would be completely cleared.

But right at that moment!

Do Min-su, who had recently become the container ship captain, approached Tae-ju.

“Um, Chairman.”

“What’s the matter?”

“St-stowaways have been discovered.”

Stowaways?

Who dared board the container ship without permission?

“Detain them for now. I’ll interrogate them later about their purpose for boarding.”

“Th-that is, they’re people who cannot be detained,”

What? ‘People’?

Not just one person, and if Captain Do Min-su was using honorifics?

Don’t tell me…

“Let’s go see.”

His guess was correct.

The Emperor and Secretary Geum Su-ho greeted Tae-ju with awkward smiles in the captain’s cabin.

“Sigh.”

“…”

“…”

They’ve caused trouble again.

If the Immortal Realm had immortals, then Samhan had the Emperor and Geum Su-ho.

“No, I was staying put, but Su-ho said he wanted to see the whales up close…”

“Your Majesty, would Chairman Kim believe that?”

Tae-ju sighed deeply and said.

“It’s not too late even now, so I’ll escort you back.”

“Please overlook this just once. State affairs will run fine without problems. I told them in advance before coming. I’ll stay quiet as a mouse, please.”

It was troublesome but… what could he do?

When they were pleading like that.

“Understood. Please try to keep your faces hidden as much as possible.”

“…Th-thank you.”

“And as soon as we arrive in America, you must take a plane back to Samhan.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

After talking briefly with the Emperor and Geum Su-ho, Tae-ju returned to his quarters prepared on the container ship.

It wasn’t a cabin.

Two empty containers loaded at the very bottom of the ship were combined and decorated like a house.

He had something to do inside here.

Practicing opening gates.

Strangely, since he became able to open gates, the intervals of the Shared Warehouse’s flickering had been getting longer.

That made sense.

When he could open and send things directly, was the Shared Warehouse necessary?

Eventually, when his body could pass through, the Shared Warehouse itself might disappear.

Well, even if it disappeared, it wouldn’t matter much as long as the gate opening ability continued.

However, there was a problem.

He could send items freely, but the maintenance time was short and the gate size was small.

‘It should get better with practice.’

Let’s increase the time and expand the size.

The place he would open this time was the Heavenly Realm Apartment construction site.

He had already finished coordinating with Dok-seon.

He would directly support supplies to the site.

Each time he manifested his ability, he did his best.

Based on the Dragon Heart, he drew out all the power of Toxic Spirit, immortal energy, and the Dragon Pearl to carefully open it.

While being conscious of creating a larger, longer-lasting gate.

Whirrrrr!

‘Did it get a bit bigger?’

It seemed like it did.

Now let’s try sending items.

The Heavenly Realm Apartment construction was in its final stages.

First, he sent interior construction materials.

Tiles and wallpaper, flooring planks, molding materials for finishing.

Additionally, snacks that the Heavenly Deities and model prisoners from Hell working at the construction site could eat.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

They went in smoothly.

After putting all the items in and resting briefly, he also opened to Hwangcheon-gye, the Celestial Realm Base, Hwansu Realm, and occasionally distributed supplies to the Sichuan Dang Clan in Gangho Murim.

Then items came through from inside as well.

Thud thud, roll roll.

It was Seondo that Danggumak had sent.

He didn’t open them solely for the purpose of sending items.

If it was a place he could open, he just opened it.

Every time that happened, strange auditory hallucinations continued to be heard.

[Please…]

[When will…]

[Here too…]

Tae-ju ignored them.

He couldn’t know everything just from hearing this…

But he did get a feeling about it.

Messages mixed with the speaker’s will.

‘It seems like someone from another world is hoping for a connection.’

It might be the world where the dragon from the otherworldly realm came from.

However, he didn’t have the luxury to worry about that place too.

He was already busy with just Earth and the Immortal Realm.

Since he didn’t even know where it was, there was no way to open a path there.

He focused only on the gates he could currently open.

The more he did it, the more they definitely grew.

From the initial golf ball size to handball, soccer ball, basketball…

Suddenly!

Ziiiiiiing!

With a relatively loud sound…

A hole that seemed to be over 50cm in diameter opened.

“Oh!”

Something like a dog hole.

At this size, couldn’t a person enter too?

Not standing upright, but crawling on all fours.

‘Let’s go in.’

The place he opened was a secluded corner of the Hwansu Realm.

While he was at it, he’d bring Ilisambaeyi back too.

Tae-ju stuck his head first into the dimensional hole.

He felt some resistance, but,

Swoosh!

His upper body went in.

Then he could see the scenery of the Hwansu Realm.

‘It works.’

He didn’t go all the way in.

After going halfway in, he pulled his body back out.

Because a thought had suddenly occurred to him.

‘Can other people besides me enter too?’

A door he had created directly, not a gate generator.

He wondered if it only applied to the creator, if other people couldn’t enter.

He could just check.

Then who should he take with him?

‘If this were Gurye, I would have taken Seo-yeon, Chang-hun, or Soon-cheol.’

Let’s choose from among the people aboard the ship.

But the crew members wouldn’t do.

They had their assigned duties for ship operations.

Of course, there were also idle people.

Namely, the stowaways.

The Emperor and Secretary Geum Su-ho.

‘Let me try asking first.’

They’d definitely say they’d go.

Immortal Realm Multiplex Base Station.

As soon as Dok-seon left his seat, Gwi-gok and Gal Hong turned on their smartphones.

First, checking their accounts.

“Did it go up?”

“It’s been three consecutive days of gains until today.”

When he went to Earth before, Gwi-gok hadn’t only stayed at the library.

He had used his ID to open another account.

Specifically, a securities company stock account.

The amount in it wasn’t very large.

Just about 300 million won.

Although the Swordsman and Monkey had earned tremendous donations and advertising fees through their live broadcast competition, Gwi-gok hadn’t reached that level.

That was why Dok-seon didn’t interfere with it.

But money could be multiplied.

A text message from a corporate executive on Earth not long ago.

Asking if he could advertise that the mobile communication service provided in the Immortal Realm was Youtelecom.

It was an opportunity to multiply his money.

He agreed and immediately transferred money to his stock account, buying up all the Youtelecom stocks.

After the announcement, Youtelecom’s stock price kept hitting the daily limit up.

“It seems like it’s time to sell now.”

“It looks like there’s still room for more growth.”

“No, it’s risen too much, so profit-taking will start. It’s better to sell near the peak.”

Gwi-gok and Gal Hong had been diligently studying stocks using their smartphones.

“How about this company? Looking at the graph, it seems like it’s about to surge up. There’s good news too.”

“Tsk, it has a strong feel of being a manipulated stock.”

“So what if it’s manipulated? As long as we make money.”

“The retail investors might get hurt.”

“Hmm.”

“Let’s go to the stock discussion forum and give a warning. Tell them not to buy because it seems like a manipulated stock.”

Gwi-gok pointed his finger at another company’s stock.

“Let’s buy this one. It’s fallen too much from its high.”

“That’s fine. There’s no particular bad news, and there should be a strong rebound.”

The more money, the better.

There are countless contents available for subscription in the internet world.

So what?

Stock trading isn’t illegal either.

Still, they shouldn’t let Dok-seon find out.
