Thunder God's Reincarnation - Chapter 278

Golden thunder clustered together in the backyard of the Baek Sword Sect’s manor. It then created an oval-shaped dimensional door, connecting the dimension of the Central Plains to another.

Mu-Gun soon stepped out of it, now back to his original appearance. The Thunder God had kept his empty body safe when he crossed over to Avalon. Returning to the Central Plains gave him back control over it.

He looked around him, finding everything still the same as before he left for Avalon. After all, although he had spent half a year in Avalon, only twelve hours had passed in the Central Plains.

Mu-Gun headed to the White Sword Pavilion to meet his father, Baek Cheon-Sang. When he announced his visit, Cheon-Sang personally opened the door and greeted him.

“Are you back for good?” Cheon-Sang asked.

“Yes. I have completed my mission,” Mu-Gun politely answered.

“Okay. You’re not hurt, are you?”

“As you can see, I am perfectly fine.”

“That’s a relief.”

“Did anything happen while I was away?”

“It hasn’t even been a day yet. Few can happen in such a short period.”

“That’s true.”

“I will listen to the details of your journey in the other dimension later. For now, go to your wives first. They are probably very worried even though it hasn’t been long.”

“Understood.”

“You worked hard,” Cheon-Sang said as Mu-Gun got up.

Mu-Gun smiled at Cheon-Sang and left the office. He then visited Namgung Hyun-Ah’s residence.

Namgung Hyun-Ah and Dan Seol-Young, who had been waiting for him in the front yard, ran over as soon as they saw him.

“Dear!” Namgung Hyun-Ah greeted.

“You already know that I have returned?”

“Yes. We have been waiting for you ever since we heard you went to the White Sword Pavilion. I’m so glad you’re safe.”

“Me too,” Dan Seol-Young added.

Mu-Gun smiled at his two wives. “I’m glad to see you both as well.”

“How was your mission?” Seol-Young asked.

“His safe return can only mean that he has accomplished it, sister,” Hyun-Ah replied in Mu-Gun’s stead, her tone slightly frustrated. “Isn’t that right, dear?”

“Yes.”

Seol-Young nodded. “Was it dangerous?”

“Not at all. A lot of beings helped me both physically and mentally.”

“Beings?”

“Humans are not the only ones that inhabit the dimension I went to.”

“What other creatures were there?”

“If you’re so curious, I can just show you,” Mu-Gun said.

“Really?”

“I’m not sure about the other beings, but I can summon a spirit for you.”

“What’s a spirit?”

“Think of them as beings born from nature’s fire, wind, ice, and earth energies,” Mu-Gun explained.

“It’s hard to imagine such an existence just from hearing about it.”

“It would be better for me to just show you, then.”

Mu-Gun easily summoned the highest-ranked fire spirit, which then assumed the form of a blazing giant. Absorbing the divinity of all four Spirit Kings had given him the authority to open the door to the Spirit Realm and summon the spirits to wherever he was, even if he was in the Central Plains.

Hyun-Ah’s and Seol-Young’s eyes widened.

“The fiery giant before you is a fire spirit. To make it easier to understand their existence, think of them as beings who gained life with fire qi in their core.”

“You can freely summon these beings?” Seol-Young asked.

“Yes. I absorbed the Spirit Kings of the other dimension, giving me the ability to summon and control the spirits wherever I am.”

“Can spirits attack?” Hyun-Ah wondered.

Mu-Gun ordered the fire spirit to use its power. As commanded, it unleashed a flame orb the size of a human head into the air. It exploded not long after, sending embers in all directions.

The fire spirit’s firepower surprised Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young. Few martial artists would be able to stop such an attack.

“How many spirits are there?”

“Countless if you include lower-ranked spirits. Those with a decent amount of power number around a thousand.”

“A thousand? Can you control all of them at the same time?”

“It’s possible. Either way, they will definitely be a great help in protecting the Central Plains from the Demon God.”

“If you put your heart to it, you can even rule the Central Plains murim. No one would be able to stand against you, dear.”

“As I have already said before, I have no desire to become the ruler of murim. I just want to live a lovey-dovey life with my two wives.”

“You really have too little greed, dear husband.”

“Do you not like that about me?” Mu-Gun teased.

“No. Why would I hate that you like me and Sister Dan more than the Central Plains?” Hyun-Ah said with a grin.

“Good. Now, how long are we going to stand outside?”

“I was just going to ask you to come inside.”

Mu-Gun chuckled as he entered the residence. Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young followed right behind him.

The next day, after catching up with his two wives, Mu-Gun visited Cheon-Sang again. He gave him a brief explanation about everything that transpired in Avalon.

Cheon-Sang was surprised to learn that, after absorbing the Dragons and Spirit Kings, Mu-Gun’s divinity had grown strong enough to fend off the Demon God. He couldn’t help but be concerned about his son no longer being human and losing him forever.

“This is no cause for alarm. Although I have entered the realm of a True God, I will always be your son Baek Mu-Gun, Father. I have no intention to abandon my humanity.”

“I just cannot seem to answer whether it would be better for you to abandon your humanity and become a True God or not,” Cheon-Sang said, contradicting his own feelings.

“Either way, becoming a god is not what I want. At least right now, I only desire to be around the people I cherish and live a life of happiness”

“If that’s what you truly want, then so be it. That aside, will you have to leave again to carry out your duty as an incarnation?”

“Only if the Thunder God gives me another mission.”

“Do you know when that would be?”

“No. Nothing has been decided yet.”

“I see. What do you plan to do while waiting?” Cheon-Sang asked.

“If you permit it, I would like to go sightseeing with my two wives,” Mu-Gun replied.

“Of course. You worked hard to carry out your duties. It is only right that you get some time to yourself.”

“Thank you.”

Not long after, Mu-Gun left the White Sword Pavilion and looked for the Four Peerless Wanderers. Even though it had only been one day for them, he still spent some time catching up with them.

After hearing about Avalon from Mu-Gun, the Four Peerless Wanderers found it a pity that they could not go with him. They pestered him to let them go with him for his next mission.

Unfortunately, to cross over to another dimension, they would have to obtain divinity and learn how to freely separate their spirit from their physical body. Although the Four Peerless Wanderers had reached the Supreme Realm through the Thunder God Awakening Spell, they were still quite far from achieving the Origin Spirit State. Due to the steep requirements, they had no choice but to give up.

A few days later, Mu-Gun went on a trip to the Central Plains with his two wives to tour the Central Plains’ historic sites. Their first destination was Mount Tai in Shandong Province.

It would take them more than a month to travel from Shaoxing to Mount Tai by land, and more than fifteen days by boat. They could simply take their time, but Mu-Gun planned to visit many other places. If they stuck to traditional transportation, their journey would take far too long.

Although Mu-Gun did not have anything urgent to attend to, he still couldn’t leave his seat empty for too long. After all, he still had to build the Loyal Heart Alliance’s power just in case the Demon God descended on the Central Plains.

Fortunately, Mu-Gun could use the wind spirits to shorten the time they spent on the road. By air, it would take only a day to reach Mount Tai from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province.

“Is that really possible?”

Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young were naturally surprised when they heard about Mu-Gun’s plan.

Mu-Gun chuckled. “It would be better for you to experience it firsthand.”

After summoning two of the highest-ranked wind spirits, he ordered them to wrap around Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young and take them to the skies.

The wind spirits took the form of giants and gently hugged Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young. They ascended to the clouds and flew around.

“Woah!”

“Oh my God!”

Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young exclaimed excitedly. They had learned martial arts, but none of it gave them the ability to fly. Now, they were coursing through the sky as freely as if they had wings.

“Point where you want to go, and the wind spirits will move in that direction. Give it a try.”

Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young followed his instructions. In response, the wind spirits gently acted accordingly.

“What do you think? Is there any inconvenience in flying?” Mu-Gun asked.

“No. I feel so comfortable and free. It’s like we have always been together.”

“Me too. I don’t feel uncomfortable at all like I just turned into a bird.”

Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young seemed to have quickly adapted to the wind spirits.

“Good to know. Would you like to practice some more or can we move on now?”

“We’re good to go.”

The two smiled at him. Soon after, Mu-Gun unleashed wind energy and rose to the sky. He then held Hyun-Ah’s and Seol-Young’s hands.

“Let’s go.”

As Mu-Gun flew toward Shandong Province.

Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young watched the view below them with excitement, finding it far more beautiful and spectacular than seeing it from the ground. With their joyful expressions oddly making him proud, he decided to slow down and let them enjoy the scenery.

Gradually, the two ladies became less impressed. No matter how great a view was, one was bound to get tired of it after seeing it so many times.

“Now that you two have enjoyed seeing the world from the sky, It’s time we speed things up a little,” Mu-Gun said.

Seol-Young looked at him with a puzzled expression. “What do you mean by that?”

Smiling, he replied, “Let’s go.”

Their group gradually accelerated, eventually making it difficult for them to see anything.

“Kyaaaaaah!”

Hyun-Ah and Seol-Young shouted out of joy. The experience was scary but refreshing. They had certainly realized what it was like to fly in the sky now.
