Chapter 207
The Baengri Clan’s Unwanted Granddaughter
Chapter 207
Rumble. The sudden sound made me flinch in surprise. I thought Mister Wan had done something, but that wasn’t the case. The sound came from the murky sky. Raindrops began to fall.
Unlike me, the Divine Demon remained still and continued, “I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m telling you all this despite the fact that I’d be at a disadvantage should you die.”
He smiled lightly. “Because there’s no way you’d die. I’m not criticizing you—it’s natural for someone who has life to be afraid of death. Every life is selfish.”

I clenched my fists and glared at the Divine Demon. “I honestly have no idea what you’re thinking. So you have no intention of killing me, and if you know I won’t choose death, then why did you make that proposition? Is it just a nasty hobby of yours?”
The Divine Demon sighed. “Child, did my words offend you? But what is there to be offended by?”

He looked at me. That in itself was threatening enough to make me feel like I was suffocating again.
“I simply answered a question you may have had for a long time,” he said.
“So you’re just telling me this for the sake of telling me?”
“Yes. Do you know how much time and experience you’d need to figure this out? And I’m telling you all this at no cost. I see that you are still quite emotional when it comes to your father.”

Divine Demon spoke indifferently as he raised his teacup.
“If you have any other questions, ask away,” he said.
“You want me to keep asking you?”
“I assume you have many more questions.”

Flabbergasted, I almost let out a laugh despite the Divine Demon sitting right across from me.
“From your perspective, what does it look like I’m doing?” he continued. “Don’t worry about intentions—just focus on my actions. You overthink. Don’t be swayed by negative emotions. Accept kindness for what it is.”

This was a ridiculous situation. If my past self were to be told that the Divine Demon and I would be sitting across from each other at a table having a little chat, I would have considered it crazy talk. But if the Divine Demon had no intention of killing me and was planning to answer all my questions… It’s a great opportunity.
“What do you mean, my father is the Adversary?” I asked right away.
“I guess the head of the Jaegal clan didn’t explain it to you properly. It’s obvious, really.”
I furrowed my brow. I asked about my father, yet he was talking about Jaegal Hwamu.
“The more you change the future, the easier it is for me to move,” the Divine Demon continued.
“Easier for you to move?”

“You committed a crime against the heavens by traveling back in time. Did you think you could escape from it?”
“A crime against the heavens?” I asked.
Keeping his word about answering my questions, the Divine Demon continued to explain nicely, “You could call it the will of the heavens—very annoying, actually. They arrange fates and let them flow. I too am entangled in the will of the heavens.”
Hearing that made me realize what those strings wrapped around the Divine Demon were. They were related to the laws of the heavens, the will of the heavens, and fate.
The Divine Demon continued, “The Jaegal clan head’s fate was to die by now. I’ve made sure of it over many years.”
“You just said that fate is arranged by the heavens.”
Еn̊ũm̌ а .і̃ d
“Yes. And over many years, I repeated to make sure that death was their fate.”
Their. He wasn’t just talking about Jaegal Hwamu.

“But you saved Jaegal Hwamu, who was supposed to die. That means the will of the heavens has been disrupted.”
The Divine Demon chuckled. “Thanks to that, I can move this time around. I guess I should thank you.”
To interpret what the Divine Demon just said, he would usually not have been able to move freely, but because the will of the heavens was disrupted, he could now move around.
Almost as if to place the finishing touch on my curiosity, the Divine Demon said, “If you save someone, I can kill someone else.”

“Then the reason why you suddenly ambushed the Martial Alliance—”
“Yes. The ambush against the Martial Alliance would not have been originally possible. But you were too reckless.”
I bit my lips.
The Divine Demon chuckled and confirmed, “It was possible, thanks to you.”

“And the reason why you were only going after Mister Wan’s arm was—”
“Yes. It’s as you predicted. The reason why I only went for his arm—he is one of the big, pivotal points. His death would have a large impact on the will of the heavens. That’s why I only wanted to weaken him.”

“So as long as you don’t kill him, it’s fine for you?”
The Divine Demon narrowed his eyes and looked at me as if I were an adorable puppy.
“Of course, it’s not like there won’t be any effects at all… But having him leave his role in this play is not enough. You wouldn’t stop a play just because a puppet loses its arm, would you? It’s not just me that knows about this but the head of the Jaegal clan as well.”
“Jaegal Hwamu also knew about this?”
He then lowered his voice and said, “Yes. But the reason why he didn’t tell you is this: You disrupted the will of the heavens just to extend his life. How, then, would he be able to tell you the truth? He was probably also afraid you wouldn’t save him after hearing the truth. He too is a selfish being.”
I glared at him and said resolutely, “It’s not selfish to want to live. Any human would want that.”

It was something that I couldn’t say and had to move on from a moment ago. In fact, he was the cause of Jaegal Hwamu and the Jaegal clan’s demise, yet he was blaming Jaegal Hwamu instead.
“You probably don’t understand, since you’re no longer human,” I said.
With that form, there was no way he could still be called a human.
Despite my ridicule, the Divine Demon’s expression remained unchanged.
“It’s natural for someone who has life to be afraid of death. Why do you think I do not know the pain of death? My job is to save living beings from that pain.”
“Is that why you’re letting said living beings die?”

“Who died, exactly?”
I was taken aback by his unfazed response.

“Who died? Do you have any idea how many cult members died because of your order?”
What about the third young master, who died just now? Whose order was he following before he fought and died?
“As long as I remember them, they are still alive,” the Divine Demon said solemnly.
I was lost for words. This crazy cult Patriarch. I was done with him.

Despite my expression, the Divine Demon continued in a solemn tone, “I’ve sidetracked too much. You asked what the Adversary is.”
We had gone round and round and finally arrived back at my initial question.
“Until now, every time I tried to go against the heavens, the Adversary stopped me.”
The Adversary stopped him? Namgoong Ryuchung suddenly popped up in my mind. I couldn’t see him from this direction, but imagining what he was doing right now wasn’t hard. He was probably looking at me worryingly with a hardened face.

The Divine Demon continued, “If you die, then your father. If your father dies, then the child of Namgoong, and if the child of Namgoong dies, someone whom I can’t even identify will suddenly appear. An Adversary appears like so.”
He looked at me and gave me a satisfied smile. “And you are an Adversary—the fruit of my labor, my own creation. That’s why I expect many things from you.”
Еn̆ u̇ m a. і̃ d́
Shocked, I stared back at the Divine Demon. What? I’m the Adversary this time?Not Namgoong Ryuchung? If I died, then Father would become the next Adversary, but I didn’t think that meant I was an Adversary too.
“That’s why you need to give it your all. Do your best until your last breath. That’s why I’m leaving behind my ability.”
I flinched in surprise. Ability? Could it be that he came here to take my golden eyes away? To think that I was sitting here oblivious of this fact, talking across from him after hearing the fact that he wouldn’t kill me… Goosebumps ran across my body. With that, I finally realized in what ways the Divine Demon moved—poisoning without killing, severing arms, and taking back abilities… Those words hidden behind the words I won’t kill you.
“I await the day you stop me.”
And with that, the Divine Demon rose from his seat as if he was finished with talking.
“What do you mean, you created me?” I asked hurriedly.

The Divine Demon stared at me for a moment.
“You can ask your father that—if you can meet him, that is.”
My eyes widened after hearing those ominous words.
“What did you do to my father?!” I shouted.
The Divine Demon didn’t reply. He simply turned around and looked at the pouring sky. He was definitely under heavy streams of rain, but he remained dry. I was at a loss for words after witnessing his immense inner qi power.
“A time will come when even the heavens shall bow down to me.”

I stared at the Divine Demon, and when he was some distance away, my body gave out. I leaned back against the back of the chair. My hands trembled—no, not just my hands but my entire body.
As soon as the Divine Demon left, Mister Wan approached me. “Are you all right?”

“No. I’ll tell you in a bit.”
Mister Wan looked down at me and stroked my head. He understood that I meant as soon as the demonic cult members left, so he nodded.
Just then, I felt someone grabbing my hand. The hand that grabbed me was trembling. It was Yayul. His face was pale, as if he were the one who had spoken with the Divine Demon. The demonic cult members who had entered in perfect formation gently placed a cloth over the third young master’s corpse and took him with them.
When he reached the inn entrance, the Divine Demon turned around and looked at us. Our eyes met, and he smiled. Everyone present heard his voice clearly regardless of distance when I shot up from my seat.
