Episode 534 Traces of a Past Life (4)
China’s decision.
The reason was that I had to go back a while ago.
In the sixth catastrophe, China was relatively safe, and received a proposal for a coalition from South Korean President Kim Jong-tae.
A proposal to suppress the rebellion in exchange for jointly suppressing North Korea. In fact, on the surface it seemed like a simple alliance, but they knew that this would lead to their downfall as vassal states.
China readily accepted.
Under the orders of Chairman Wang Weilong, troops led by Swordmaster Xiaolong headed to South Korea.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. The great power’s will has finally been fulfilled. North Korea and South Korea have always been thorns in the eye, but if you interfere in South Korea’s state affairs using this incident as an opportunity, they will quickly declare themselves ‘subjects of the great power.’”
“You idiots. You couldn’t handle a moment’s crisis, so you sold out the entire country.”
Wang Weilong smiled.
North Korea and South Korea.
As the subordinate said, it was a thorn in his side.
China has had a hard time every year because of the monsters coming from North Korea, but it has not been able to carry out large-scale suppression campaigns.
There are many countries around the world that are trying to bring down China. They could not afford to lose troops recklessly, and the Republic of Korea, which exists beyond North Korea, was like a thorn in their neck and was an inconvenience.
If we could make the area from North Korea to South Korea Chinese territory, we could lay the foundation for conquering the continent, but because world governments interfere with everything, we have been unable to move openly.
but.
It’s different now.
From the moment President Kim Jung-tae reached out, China gained a justification to interfere in South Korea’s state affairs.
“The Republic of Korea is merely a preparatory step for conquering the continent. As the one and only emperor in the world, I will conquer the entire world and make China the greatest nation in history. This is the aspiration of our ancestors, and the achievement that even the heroes of history who were famous will fail to achieve will be completed by me.”
“iced coffee!”
“Your Majesty the Emperor! Rule the world!”
The men were excited.
Wang Weilong displayed a huge presence and naturally accepted the gazes of longing looking up at him.
The day he ascended to the throne of the emperor.
He had in mind conquering the continent.
Everything was destiny.
In a world that revolved around him, he was convinced that he was the great hero who would save the world.
“Yes, I will rule the world.”
I looked down on the world.
The time has come.
In the near future, he will reign over the world under his feet, and Xiaolong, who was sent to the Republic of Korea, will bring back news of victory that will lay the foundation for conquering the continent.
There was no doubt about his victory. Although Roman Dmitry had dealt with S-rank monsters, his reputation as a swordsman meant that he had a more powerful force than was known to the world.
however.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. Xiaolong has returned.”
“… … What does that mean?”
A crack appeared on Wang Weilong’s expression.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange.
To say that he had carried out his orders perfectly, Xiaolong chose to return to China too early.
* * *
Xiaolong knelt down.
He described the situation with the face of a sinner.
“… … I’m sorry. If Roman Dmitry had simply been strong, I would have proven the power of a great nation until the end, even if it meant dying. However, I couldn’t do that. Roman Dmitry, who had dealt with the guards in one blow, had used ‘real martial arts’, not fake ones created by the system. Thinking that I had to tell His Majesty the Emperor about this, I compromised with reality and chose to return to my home country.”
moment.
Wang Weilong’s expression hardened.
It wasn’t something I could readily accept.
True martial arts speak of Chinese roots, and were not a domain open to foreigners like Roman Dmitry.
That wasn’t the only problem. Even though Xiaolong knew that this incident could cost him his life, he relayed everything he saw and heard to Wang Weilong.
“Roman Dmitry. The martial arts he used were shockingly powerful. It was at a level that even I could not dare to estimate its limits, and the captain of the Royal Guard of the Republic of Korea, even though he was an S-rank, could not withstand a single blow. Your Majesty the Emperor. Roman Dmitry clearly acquired ‘something’ that took root in a great nation.”
“… … Can you bet your life on what you say?”
“Yes. I will stake my neck on it. Roman Dmitry is clearly a being who has accepted the will of the martial arts world that was destroyed.”
It was shocking.
If the other party had not been Xiaolong, Wang Weilong would never have accepted the truth.
Xiaolong.
He is not the type of person to lie or exaggerate.
He contributed greatly to Wang Weilong’s ascension to the throne, and he followed him wholeheartedly and shared the same dream of conquering the continent.
Because it was Xiaolong, he could believe it. If everything he saw and heard was true, then regardless of whether it was South Korea or anything else, he needed to confirm the existence of Roman Dmitry.
Wang Weilong shouted.
“Bring me all the information about Roman Dmitry right now. His past, his actions, and his performance in battle. I will check it myself and make a judgment about Roman Dmitry.”
“I will obey your orders.”
“I will obey your orders.”
A fire fell on the instep.
A time when the world is in chaos due to great disaster.
China focused on Roman Dmitry.
The entire intelligence service came out to secure the material, including footage of Roman Dmitry fighting.
Wang Weilong checked the video.
The Captain of the Guard and Roman Dmitry.
The moment he saw the two clashing, Wang Weilong could not hide his despair.
[Bam!]

[Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwak!]
Swept away in one blow.
In a situation where ordinary people would simply admire the destructiveness, Wang Weilong saw a martial arts system that had no limits. It was a shocking truth.
Even Wang Weilong, who describes himself as the hope of the martial arts world, felt his heart sink at the profundity of the martial arts skills used by Roman Dmitry.
I was absorbed in the video for a while.
I couldn’t say anything.
Wang Weilong, who had been staring blankly, took his eyes off the image and spoke to his subjects who were looking up at him.
“… … Everyone step back.”
I couldn’t say anything else.
The men retreated.
Wang Weilong staggered to his feet and walked weakly somewhere.
* * *
Secret space.
There was a mural there.
The huge mural depicted a man wielding a sword, which was the basis of the martial arts that gave birth to Wang Weilong.
“… … What on earth is going on?”
10 years ago.
Wang Weilong appeared out of nowhere and united a divided China.
People thought his existence came out of nowhere, but Wang Weilong overcame numerous adversities before ascending to the throne.
Long time ago.
There was a martial arts world in China.
The martial arts world had become so prosperous that the imperial family could not handle it, and the emperor, feeling uneasy about the great power of the martial artists, planned a policy of exterminating them.
And so the world of martial arts was destroyed.
During the time when Cheonma, who conquered the martial arts world, existed, his plans failed time and time again, but when he suddenly disappeared, the emperor succeeded in dividing the martial arts world.
The martial arts were torn apart.
It broke the foundations so that they could never touch the dangerous power again.
The descendants of the martial arts world were scattered all over the world, and as time passed, the existence of the martial arts world was forgotten.
Wang Weilong and Xiaolong.
They were all descendants of the martial arts world.
They have continued the tradition of martial arts, but the reason why modern people do not know about the existence of martial arts is because they do not display as strong a force as was recorded in the past.
As the martial arts world fell into ruin, the foundation of martial arts was lost. It was the moment when the years that the martial artists had accumulated evaporated, and as modern society developed, the energy of nature became turbid.
It was no longer possible to build up internal energy using the old methods, and the ancestors of the martial arts world, who had already lost much, could not solve the reality of martial arts gradually deteriorating.
Martial arts have become trash.
However, Wang Weilong never forgot that he was a descendant of the martial arts world.
His ancestors.
He was from the Cheonmasin Church.
The image of the Heavenly Horse was depicted on a mural, and Wang Wi-ryong attempted to revive the Heavenly Horse Sword Technique based on it.
Cheonma conquered the martial arts world.
Whenever I recalled his great achievements, I believed that he was the only hope for restoring the glory of martial arts.
But he failed to restore his martial arts skills time and time again.
A grim reality was before our eyes.
He could no longer turn a blind eye, and Wang Weilong realized that he was no different from his ancestors who had repeated their mistakes.
at that time.
A catastrophe has occurred.
During a time when the world was in chaos, Wang Weilong accepted the memories of one being.
‘Volcan.’
One of Dmitry’s.
He was not at the level of a regular soldier, but he did not have the same reputation as Dmitry’s flash and the evil spirits. However, it changed Wang Weilong’s life.
Volkan’s memories contained the ‘Sura’s Heart Method’, and the Sura’s Heart Method presented a new method that the ancestors of the martial arts world had not been able to solve.
Even in the turbid atmosphere of modern times, he was able to use martial arts, and Wang Weilong devoted himself to martial arts for ten years from then on.
Wang Weilong was the victor.
Normally, it would end with the manifestation of memories of a legend, but the existence of the martial arts world led Wang Weilong to a completely different world.
Ten years later.
I have completed a new Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.
It cannot be said to be the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique of the past, but he interpreted it in his own way to be as similar as possible to the mural.
Of course, it could not be denied that they were completely different martial arts.
However, the reason it was named Cheonma Sword Technique was because it was hoped that the achievements of Cheonma, who once conquered the martial arts world, would be carried on.
Unified China.
Wang Weilong, who ascended to the throne of the emperor himself and accepted the descendants of the martial arts world, said this to them.
“The martial arts world and the Cheonma Shingyo will be reborn because of me.”
That day.
China was thrilled.
It was the moment when the ruined martial arts world was reborn thanks to Wang Wi-ryong.
* * *
And now.
Wang Weilong knew instinctively.
Roman Dmitry’s military exploits were extraordinary.
It was similar to the image recorded on the mural, but different, and its destructive power was comparable to that of the Heavenly Demon Sword.
I had mixed feelings.
Even just seeing it with my own eyes, it seemed to be more complete than my own Cheonma Sword Technique.
‘It is not certain whether Roman Dmitry is a descendant of the martial arts world. However, the martial arts he uses show a similar context to that of the Cheonma Sect. If Roman Dmitry is a descendant of the Cheonma Sect, or someone who obtained something from the Cheonma Sect, I cannot carelessly antagonize him. If he has the same conditions as me, he may also have the same goal of rebuilding the martial arts world as I do.’
If you think about it.
His actions were similar to mine.
The sight of him ascending to the throne of the emperor himself made Wang Wi-ryong furious just a few days ago, asking how anyone could dare to talk about the emperor of the Republic of Korea, but now he somehow thought it was natural for a descendant of the Cheonma Sect to do so.
I took a step back.
I chose to wait and see.
I couldn’t approach him rashly and expose my true self.
Even if the opponent was truly a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Wang Weilong had no intention of giving up his position simply.
‘The Cheonma Sect is a world of the law of the jungle. The strong take everything. If Roman Dmitry is a figure of the Cheonma Sect, I will overthrow him and ascend to the position of the absolute ruler, but if not, I will take away his martial arts and further perfect the Cheonma Sword Technique. And if I am defeated by Roman Dmitry… … Just like those who follow me, I will willingly kneel for a great achievement.’
blast furnace.
Changed attitude.
As expected from other countries, the change of the national name of the Republic of Korea would have been a cause for outrage, but Wang Weilong decided that it was necessary to maintain friendly relations until the truth about Roman Dmitry was discovered.
Maybe it was the same Cheonma Sect. Wang Wi-ryong ordered his subordinates not to be hostile to the Republic of Korea.
International conference.
Things have gone awry.
The French president harshly criticized China’s change of heart.
“Punishing the Republic of Korea is a harsh measure! Is that what the Chairman says? Countries that have violated international law have been severely punished because of public opinion led by Chairman Wang Weilong. However, it is a clear contradiction to make an exception only for the Republic of Korea. Please explain it in a way that is understandable.”
As he said.
China has been showing a belligerent attitude so far.
There are more than a few countries that have always taken the lead in punishment and suffered because of them.
But why are you suddenly talking about cruelty?
Wang Weilong was well aware of his own contradictions as he faced the hostile gazes of the heads of state, including the French President.
But what can you do?
Even though he made himself look ridiculous, other things were more important to him.
“It’s a simple matter. The reason we don’t punish South Korea is for the sake of humanity. In this chaotic time when the great disaster has just ended, I don’t think there is any need to cause trouble for the sake of world peace.”
moment.
People’s expressions suddenly distorted.
The French president, in particular, spoke his mind without filtering.
“No, shouldn’t the Chairman, who has been talking about conquering the continent and such, say something like that?”
People really.
He looked at Wang Weilong with eyes that seemed to suggest that he was crazy.
