The True Gods || Kim Taehyung ||

Hatred

As soon as Ji-woo came out of the gate of Xuantian Palace, he saw Ji-woo’s cold face. He glanced at the immortal deities who hadn’t walked far, and he couldn’t help but cover up his gentle expression with some tiredness and coughed to Ji-woo.

In the past few months of their Heavenly Father’s retreat, his older brother had talked to him a lot about Jung-hee’s affairs. This arrogant little sister wasn’t easy to take care of either. Now, she was putting on such an appearance in front of so many immortals, wouldn’t she make the immortals joke around saying that she is narrow-minded?

“Second Brother.” Ji-woo’s eyes suddenly turned red when she was scolded. Seeing the anger under Jungkook's eyes, she whispered, “Where is First Brother?” Her first and second brothers went into Xuantian Palace together, but why did only Second Brother come out?

“Because First Brother contradicted Royal Father, he has been confined for a month by him. Don’t think about any messy thoughts, Heavenly Father will not see you for now.” Jungkook glanced at Ji-woo and sighed. Their First Brother was very confused. It was clear that their Royal Father was on High God Ha-eun’s side, but he tried to save Jung-hee without caring at all…

A trace of shock flashed across Ji-woo's eyes. Her phoenix eyes slightly stared, and her expression was unwilling, “How could Heavenly Father confine First Brother? And besides, Jung-hee hasn’t made a huge crime, and he has also saved First Brother’s life, how could Royal Father drive him out of the Immortal Realm…”

“Ji-woo, shut up.” Jungkook heard Ji-woo’s suddenly uplifting voice and glanced at Xuantian Palace before turning around and saying, “Jung-hee offended High God Ha-eun and deserves it. Him saving First Brother is a private matter, but it is difficult for the Three Realms to tolerate him offending a high god. Don’t mention this matter in the future. As for First Brother, Royal Father has only punished him a little. Everything will be fine in a few days when Royal Father isn’t as angry.”

It wasn’t that Jungkook didn’t have Ji-woo's doubts. He also didn’t expect that his Royal Father would use the Edict of Respect For the Heavens for Ha-eun! It was only that…the event that happened tens of thousands of years ago was not something they could intervene in.

“High God Ha-eun? Second Brother, it’s fine if she is someone else. She is just useless. How could you call her a high god without any complaints? She is not worthy at all!”

The resentment in Ji-woo ’s expression finally all broke out after Jungkook called Ha-eun a high god. She could feel that this high god call was of sincere admiration, but how could she and her two brothers bow down to Ha-eun?

Even if all the immortals in the Three Realms honored Ha-eun, the brothers and sister should not!

“Ji-woo!” Jungkook rubbed his forehead. He saw Ji-woo’s red eyes and finally couldn’t bear to scold her anymore. He only patted her on the shoulder and said meaningfully, “No matter what, she is a high god recognized by the Three Realms. Royal Father just wants to make it up to her. And besides, High God Ha-eun isn’t as weak as she was before in the rumors. In the future, if you encounter…just don’t be arrogant.” 

“I don’t need you to tell me. Now, everyone in the Three Realms is saying that High God Ha-eun’s spiritual powers are profound and she is very elegant. I am just a high deity, so I don’t dare compete with her. Besides, if she retracts back into Qingchi Palace, it’ll be hard to see her even if I wanted to. I just don’t know, with High God Ha-eun being so extraordinary, why she hasn’t appeared on the Qingtian Pillar yet? Don’t mention the high god section, her name isn’t even under the high deity section.”

With her words and sentences filled with High God Ha-eun, Ji-woo ’s expression had a little mockery. She said this under Jungkook’s dumbfounded expression, then turned around to leave. She took a few steps and finally couldn’t hold it in, and slightly turned her head, saying, “Heavenly Father is now standing up for her and is still unwilling to see me. After Heavenly Mother comes out of retreat, I will naturally go seek justice for First Brother.”

The arrogant voice was like the one before. Jungkook gave a wry smile and saw Ji-woo leave with a recovered complexion. For a moment, he didn’t know if he should be happy or angry.

Sigh, he hadn’t heard of any news concerning High God Ha-eun for months. According to the personality she had before, she might have really gone back to Qingchi Palace. If this was the case, a lot of trouble would be saved.

Forget it, he shouldn’t worry about these trivial matters. Rather than wasting these few days, it would be better to go to Sobong Wang Mountain. Jungkook looked at Xuantian Palace, sighed, and suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, when the Immortal Realm was shocked by the Heavenly Emperor’s decree using the Edict of Respect for the Heavens, the mysterious force that shocked the Demon Realm also caused the Demon Realm to fall into turmoil.

In a corner of the Third Heaven, Ha-eun sat with good posture on a polished stone, with an extremely serious face. She stared at the person close by wearing a black robe, and raised her eyebrows, “Tae-hyun, what exactly is your origin?”

When the childish voice entered the young man’s ears, it carried a different meaning. It was soft and scratched at one’s heart. Tae-hyun frowned. He did not like to be interrupted, but after he saw Ha-eun’s serious little expression, a smile arose in his eyes. He didn’t know why he suddenly had such a complicated and peculiar feeling, but Tae-hyun turned around to face a serious Ha-eun, who was sitting on a rock. “Ha-eun, you’re always saying that you’re the high god of the Three Realms, but you can’t guess my origin?”

The doll-like female who had a question asked back to her looked at the young man in front of her, furrowed her eyebrows. Tae-hyun, who was standing not far away, raised his eyebrows and looked around with a faint smile, which made her think of a verse in “A Nation’s Color”, a script from the Mortal Realm.

Ha-eun coughed, and her face was tense. After silently reciting “beauty can distract” a few times, she looked at Tae-hyun seriously, “My nobility does not mean that my spiritual power is high. This is something that the whole Three Realms know. I’m not being dramatic. Just say it, what is your origin? Even if I am ignorant, I have never heard of any immortal deity being able to completely extinguish the purple flames at the Demon Realm’s Gate of Life and Death. Even when Hyun-jung broke through the Gate of Life and Death, he only swayed the purple flames!”

Hyun-jung was a veteran high deity, and there weren’t many people in the Three Realms that had higher spiritual power than him. If the goal was to slightly weaken the purple flames of the Gate of Life and Death, there were quite some people who could accomplish it, but there has never been a person in these tens of thousands of years who was able to completely distinguish them with one move. What’s more, that sky-defying aura, although it only lasted for a second…perhaps only the Demon Emperor had the power to contend with it.

High Deity Tae-hyun had only been famous for over a thousand years. His teacher was unknown, and his origin was a mystery. Apart from his unpredictable height of immortal power, and his cold personality, no one knew anything about him.

As abnormal as a demon, at Tae-hyun’s age, if he could cultivate to this state, he might become the fifth high god of the post-ancient world.

“Oh, this Gate of Life and Death has such a big name.” Tae-hyun raised his eyebrows with a little surprise, spreading his hands under the serious gaze of Ha-eun. “Stop looking at me like that, I also don’t know what just happened. As for my origin, didn’t I say this, that I had something to ask about Yeon-jin?”

“Are you saying that Yeon-jin knows about your origin? Don’t you know your own origin?” Ha-eun’s expression froze. She didn’t really trust Tae-hyun’s words. How would there be a person who didn’t know of their own origin? And what does this have to do with Yeon-jin?
