Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation-Chapter 431: Reclaiming The Position (1)

Seol-Hwi, who emerged from the dungeon, changed his face to that of Earth Demon and headed straight to the Supreme Pavilion.

The tasks that needed to be done now that the two stars had disappeared came to mind.

“Please command, my lord.”

As soon as he arrived at the Supreme Pavilion, Cheon Kwang greeted him.

Indeed, like a well-trained confidant, he had not asked any questions despite being curious about Seol-Hwi’s absence for several days.

“The secret warriors and core warriors are around the First Disciple, right?”

“Yes.”

“Summon them all.”

“Understood!”

After Cheon Kwang prostrated himself and left, Seol-Hwi fell into thought.

After killing Big Dipper Star, he gained the ability of ‘Elimination,’ and thanks to the encounter with Dam Cheon, he obtained the simulation he needed.

As a result, he gained a wealth of unexpected information.

Moreover, with the help of the simulation, he was able to kill South Dipper Star.

However, by relying on it too much, he also faced a crisis where he was caught off guard.

Now, whether it was luck or misfortune, the situation had shifted as the AI and simulation disappeared by stepping out of the system.

“From now on, I must change my strategy.”

The simulation, originally needed to kill South Dipper Star and Siming Star, was no longer necessary now.

And knowing that Siming Star’s location was the Demonic Cult’s Secret Cave, there was a need to quickly advance the long-thought-out plan.

In case Siming Star was killed and the Creator suddenly appeared there, that had to be accounted for as well.

“You called for us.”

Before long, the core warriors appeared one by one. The secret warriors arrived a bit later.

“The Seven Messengers and first-rate secret warriors.”

There were many warriors he was familiar with, like Ma Tae-ryong. And there were also those he had only seen once.

This was the maximum force that the past Earth Demon could command.

From now on, Seol-Hwi intended to utilize this group to the fullest to prepare for the battle against the Creator.

“Listen carefully.”

Seol-Hwi surveyed them before continuing.

“From now on, we will reclaim the position of the Cult Leader.”

“What…?!”

“……!”

“Gasp……!”

The reactions were as expected.

Some checked each other’s faces as if they had misheard. Others wanted to ask for the reason.

There were even those whose eyes wavered.

“I’ll say it again. From now on, we will remove the Cult Leader and reclaim that position. Therefore, I will now assign you tasks.”

Seol-Hwi spoke, looking at the core warriors.

“Core warriors. You will monitor the Cult Leader’s movements from now on. This includes their travel routes and frequently crossed paths. It would be even better if you can find out where they go and where they rest.”

“Yes!”

“Understood.”

Seol-Hwi looked at the secret warriors and spoke.

“Identify all the forces led by the Cult Leader. Not only the specific number of guards but also the hidden watchers around.”

“Yes, sir.”

“…Yes. Understood.”

Everyone responded, but their voices carried a hint of unease.

Seol-Hwi understood.

The orders were too sudden, and the target was too high-ranking.

“My lord…”

Among the hesitant warriors, one stepped forward and bowed.

It was Sun, a secret warrior, known to be the most trusted by Earth Demon.

He was, in fact, the one who had truly helped Earth Demon escape from the cult.

“Speak.”

“I have no doubt that you will reclaim the position of Cult Leader. Everyone knows that no one in our sect is as strong as you. However, you must promise us one thing.”

“A promise…?”

When Seol-Hwi expressed his confusion, he answered cautiously.

“A promise to live, a clear determination to stay alive.”

Seol-Hwi seemed to understand the intention behind his words.

Although he mentioned a promise, he probably wanted to ask for certainty.

Knowing the nature of Heavenly Killing Star, he must have thought Seol-Hwi would perish together with the Cult Leader in battle.

“I understand what kind of person you all are, who have followed me despite my insignificance.”

Seol-Hwi slowly walked between the Seven Lions and the secret warriors.

“Whether by someone else or for oneself, no matter the purpose, I will clearly tell those of you here now.”

Seol-Hwi stopped walking and continued speaking.

“We can no longer delay. This is a fight for me, but broadly speaking, it is a fight for us. Wouldn’t it be fair for the light to shine on your paths at least once?”

Everyone remained silent, but those present understood the meaning behind the words.

If they kill the Cult Leader and do survive, Earth Demon becomes the next Cult Leader.

If they die with the Cult Leader, First Disciple becomes the Cult Leader.

The followers of the man who achieves the greatest merit will not be ignored.

“And don’t worry too much. Recently, I discovered a way to gain power while controlling the Heavenly Killing Star.”

Despite Seol-Hwi’s words, the atmosphere remained subdued.

No one responded, but it was clear that they did not believe Heavenly Killing Star could survive.

“So, this will be your most difficult and final mission. What I want to tell you all is this.”

Seol-Hwi slowly glanced at each person and continued speaking.

“Please, survive.”

“Yes! My lord!”

“We will follow your command.”

With those responses, everyone prostrated themselves on the ground. A resolute determination could be felt.

‘Earth Demon, you haven’t lived in vain.’

Seeing this, Seol-Hwi felt a strange emotion rise within him. As it was the Demonic Cult, he thought it was full of those who enjoyed slaughter or deception.

Where did Earth Demon find such loyal people?

‘I could step forward, but I must give them the opportunity to build merit.’

As Seol-Hwi looked at them, he called one middle-aged man.

“And Ma Tae-ryong.”

“Yes.”

Ma Tae-ryong stood up and showed his respect.

“When you go to Hidden Demon Palace’s peak, there will be an old man named Gwi Heo-ran with a woman. Bring them and rejoin us.”

“Yes.”

Ma Tae-ryong looked curious but did not ask.

“Alright then.”

Seol-Hwi took a deep breath as he looked at them and continued.

“Please, all survive.”

“Yes! My lord!”

“We will follow your command.”

Creak.

As soon as the warriors left, Seol-Hwi quietly opened the window and looked outside.

He could already see the warriors moving like meteors across the building over there.

‘Some will die.’

Nevertheless, it had to be done.

Only when they achieved their mission would the next step become easier.

This plan required many things to be secured by their efforts.

‘Time is also tight for us.’

The First Disciple must have realized that the core and bodyguard warriors of Earth Demon have left.

So he will immediately come to hold him accountable.

Even if he didn’t know for sure, the First and Third Disciples were likely plotting new schemes.

The priority was to quickly resolve the chaotic situation.

‘Siming Star is in the Demonic Cult’s Secret Cave. Without a simulation, becoming the Cult Leader is the first step.’

However, he would not make the mistake of killing the Cult Leader.

Even if he didn’t know for sure, if the Cult Leader died, the Creator would come ahead.

So he had to approach it differently—Either capture him or hide him perfectly.

But there weren’t many techniques to bind someone of that level.

That’s why Songhwa’s help was needed.

‘Perhaps it’s possible to put him in the toolbox.’

The sudden thought was to put him into the toolbox.

The thought occurred that it might be possible to compress it like pine pollen into a container.

If pine pollen could go into a tool box, perhaps that thing could as well.

‘If the Cult Leader can enter, can I do it too?’

A series of questions arose in his head. Normally, AI or simulation would resolve such matters for him, but things were different now.

Everything had to be tried out individually on his own.

‘They’re coming now.’

While lost in thought, hurried footsteps approached him.

Without seeing, Seol-Hwi realized it was the First Disciple, End Demon.

Rattle. Thud!

Without a response, the door swung open and the figure of a person was revealed.

Seol-Hwi greeted him naturally, without any disturbance.

“You’ve arrived.”

“What have you done?”

As expected, the expression on the face was not good.

Those cherished by Earth Demon deserted the mission, and the core warriors and secret warriors near Earth Demon had quietly slipped away. An intense reaction was not unreasonable.

“Please, have a seat first.”

“You scoundrel! What mischief are you plotting now?”

Despite End Demon’s blatant killing intent, Seol-Hwi calmly pointed to a seat.

“Sahyung. I will explain everything in detail from now on. Could you please sit down there first?”

When Seol-Hwi courteously showed respect, End Demon no longer felt agitated.

He too had not come to fight here.

“If I am not convinced, you should be prepared as well for what happens later.”

Though with a displeased expression, he approached the seat and sat as Seol-Hwi suggested.

“I understand why you are angry. Before I explain, let me show you this first.”

Seol-Hwi decided to reveal a secret first to prevent him from getting excited.

“……!”

The eyes of End Demon, who seemed ready to attack him at any moment, widened.

It was not simply that the face and body had changed from Earth Demon to Seol-Hwi.

He was already a warrior of the Supreme Demonic Arts.

He was not someone who would be caught by simple tricks like reverse qi manipulation or shadow concealment techniques.

He was shocked that it was possible to deceive the eyes of such a warrior and transform like this.

“You, how did you do it!”

“I will tell the truth. I was originally known as Seol-Hwi.”

“What, what!”

End Demon stood up with surprised eyes. Seol-Hwi spoke, watching the numerous questions pass through his eyes.

“And this is not a trick. Once I ascend to a higher state, others cannot detect the changes in my internal qi.”

“Are you saying that you have ascended to a higher state now?”

“Yes.”

“This is absurd…”

Ting.

Crack!

As Seol-Hwi flicked his fingers, the table shattered instantly.

The eyes of End Demon widened at that.

“Since it is the Great Sahyung, you know it. A Profound Demon is a state where one can use the infinite power of nature. By using the qi of nature, at least within this room, one can have the power to destroy any object at any time.”

“Ah… Ah…”

End Demon had an expression of utter disbelief at those words. The fact that Earth Demon had become a Profound Demon. No, more than that, the fact that he was maintaining his life with that power.

“I understand it’s something quite shocking. You might even think I’m mocking you. But I have no such intention. Quite the opposite, in fact.”

Seol-Hwi stood up from the chair. Then, he slowly walked to the window and spoke.

“I called you here, sahyung, for two reasons. The first is that if you permit, I will elevate you to the state of Profound Demon. Not only that, but I will help you reach beyond that realm.”

“……”

End Demon remained silent at those words. It was true that he was overwhelmed.

The shock of witnessing the power of Profound Demon firsthand. And the shock of seeing Earth Demon still alive even after becoming Profound Demon lingered in his mind.

Nevertheless, End Demon was not foolish enough to be unaware of the situation.

Rather, curious about Earth Demon, Seol-Hwi’s thoughts, he asked directly.

“The second reason.”

“The second is……”

After a brief pause, Seol-Hwi spoke.

“The one controlling the current Cult Leader, the being who has made us like this.”

Then, turning away, he continued.

“Would you not fight together with me, against him?”
