Blackie’s mental world.
“Oh! When did you grow this much?”
Pat. Pat.
When Sejun patted the head of Mini Chairman Park No. 4, who had grown up to his knee height,
Grin. Grin.
Mini Chairman Park No. 4’s mouth stretched into a smile and he danced.
Meanwhile,
“I’m sorry. Are you thirsty? I can even squirt water now.”“I’m really sorry.”
Blackie and his subordinates began apologizing to the souls, and Sejun, Theo, Iona, Mini Chairman Park No. 4, and Gilsun Nightmare also comforted the souls and eased their minds alongside them.
Time passed quite a bit as they apologized like that, but
Why isn’t she showing up?
Corruption wasn’t showing herself.
She’s sulking because he didn’t come yesterday.
Sejun quickly figured out the reason and
“It’s so boring without Corruption. Ah. Who should I play with?”
He started talking to himself while looking into the air. As if someone was meant to hear him.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I will play…”
“Kyoot! Theo~nim, stay quiet.”
Theo tried to butt in tactlessly, but fortunately, Iona stopped him.
Then
Rumble. Rumble.
Corruption, who was hesitating about whether to come out from within a soul, came into view.
Hehehe. There you are?
As Sejun stared intently at the soul wriggling with dark red energy,
Gururuk.
-Why… why are you looking for me? I was just sleeping for a bit!
Corruption grumbled as she revealed herself. But in her voice was unmistakable delight.
“Hehehe. You didn’t come out because you were sulking, right?”
Sejun teased Corruption like that and
-What?! I was sulking?! That’s ridiculous!
Corruption shrieked in indignation.
However,
“Eh. You do seem like you were sulking.”
-I was not!
“Hehehe. That means you were.”
-I said I wasn’t!
Sejun teased Corruption gleefully with his sly attitude.
Ah. That’s right. She’s the Primordial God.
Is it okay for me to keep messing around like this?
Suddenly, a slight unease crept in.
“Ahem. I wasn’t teasing you just now, so don’t misunderstand.”
Sejun tried to smooth things over belatedly, but
-Don’t lie! You were teasing!
Of course, it didn’t work.
“More importantly, I have something to say.”
Sejun suddenly lowered his voice and
“The truth is, I know something about your true identity that you don’t.”
-What?! My true identity?
“Yeah. Actually, you are the Primordial God. The being you think is the Primordial God isn’t actually the Primordial God, you are…”
In a serious tone, he revealed Corruption’s identity.
-……
Corruption quietly listened to Sejun’s words.
Is he teasing me again?
Inside, she thought Sejun was pulling a prank. It was a side effect of being pranked too much.
However,
“No, I’m serious. You’re the Primordial God. A fake Primordial God was born because you mistook the disappearing light for the Primordial God. If you can’t believe it, just trust me. You’re the Primordial God.”
As Sejun earnestly and passionately explained,
-Really?
I’m the Primordial God with immense power?
My current shabby appearance is fake?
Corruption began to get slightly confused.
And then
“Corruption. No, Primordial God, your will is the world’s will. You have the power to control the world as you wish.”
To persuade Corruption, Sejun mustered all the knowledge he had to explain.
-Kukukuk. Really?
I can control the world however I want?
Corruption’s desire stirred at Sejun’s words.
I want Sejun to be with me alone!
Corruption declared her twisted wish to the world with her will, and in that moment, the figure of Sejun sleeping in his bedroom on the 99th floor of the Black Tower vanished.
At the same time, the world stopped.
Theo, who had been sleeping on Sejun’s knee, remained floating in the air at the exact height he had been resting on Sejun’s knee, and the Blackie Family sleeping on Sejun’s chest also floated in the air just the same.
Paespaes, who had been patrolling the farm, froze mid-flight, and Cuengi, who had been clinging asleep in Pink-fur’s arms, also froze in his sleeping posture.
To avoid being caught up by Pink-fur, the Minotaur King was secretly doing late-night special training, and the Black Minotaurs, who were earnestly training while following the Minotaur King, were too.
Mimyr and Ninir, the sisters who were drinking wine together at the coffee farm on the 94th floor of the Tower.
Elka, who had been having an intimate time with his wife after putting the children to bed on the 88th floor of the Tower.
The chestnut hedgehogs disguised as chestnut burrs between chestnut trees, diligently guarding the chestnut trees as usual on the 83rd floor of the Tower.
The birds of the Kingdom of Kov on the 79th floor of the Tower flying beside Sparkie, the Mother Tree, trying to keep her from being lonely.
Ookil, the banana monkey tribe chief, and other banana monkeys on the 77th floor of the Tower drinking a ten-year-old mango liquor under the moonlight.
The wandering merchants on the 75th floor of the Tower busily preparing for tomorrow’s business in the merchant district.
Paku, the Green Goblin of the 59th floor of the Tower, enthusiastically chatting on the full-time employee communication network to boost his status.
On the 55th floor, Black Rabbit and Bochi running away because they were scared of the night, and ChuChu and Lara chasing after them.
Kona, the blue-backed penguin on the ice island on the 44th floor of the Tower, and her disciples diligently crafting weapons.
Ssibal the 18th, praying to Leah under the moonlight at the grape farm on the 4th floor of the Tower.
The hunters on the 3rd floor of the Tower working hard to plant crops late at night to earn double hourly night pay.
The hunters and skeleton wizards bargaining at the shop street on the 1st floor of the Tower.
104.28.193.250
All of them had stopped.
And Aileen, who had been watching Sejun sleeping through the crystal orb, and Ace, who had been spying on Aileen.
The bodies of the leaders of the great Nine Dragon Tribe drinking elsewhere in other Towers.
Even Earth, where Sejun’s family was, Hamk, the world of hamsters, and Level 11 world Earthworm too.
In the 10th Tower, the gods Patrick, the god of Earth, Hamer, the God of Farming, and the great silver dragon Stella Hisron who were living on monthly rent.
Even the gods in the Seed Shop Headquarters, the Combat Shop Headquarters, Hel’s Pawnshop, the prison of the gods Tartarus, and the resting grounds of the forgotten gods.
Sausage, who was joyfully feeding nutritional supplements to the five rookie elixirs, and Flamie, who was releasing avatars in the Forest of Creation to find the fifth and final problem.
All of them stopped.

“Huh?”
Sejun, who had been lying face down asleep on a damp ground, came to his senses and looked around.
First, he saw a red sky and the waypoint he had seen when he first came to the Land of Destruction.
“Land of Destruction?”
Why am I here?
Am I sleepwalking?
Sejun wondered and used the waypoint.
However,
[……]
The waypoint did not respond.
“What the heck, Eok-Samchiri, what’s wrong with this?”
So he called [System Eok-Samchiri], but
[……]
Hey! Are you slacking off?!
Respond! Eok-Samchiri!
[System Eok-Samchiri] gave no answer.
“What’s this?”
Sejun, confused, tried to recall his recent memory.
He was certainly revealing Corruption’s identity in Blackie’s mental world…
“I don’t remember anything after that. Why am I here?”
No matter how much he thought, there was no answer, so
“Seed Creation.”
Let’s see if this works.
He tried Seed Creation.
[Please select the seed to create.][Magical Cherry Tomato Seed]
[Power Sweet Potato Seed]
…
..
.
[Destruction Devourer Seed]
[Destruction Pioneer Seed]
Fortunately, Seed Creation activated normally, and the messages also appeared properly.
“Why is this showing up? Eok-Samchiri.”
Sejun tried calling [System Eok-Samchiri] again, but
[……]
Again, there was no response.
Something seems to have gone wrong…
The message wasn’t in Eok-Samchiri’s usual tone either. If it were Eok-Samchiri, it would have used the highest level of honorifics like ‘Sir please’ instead of ‘please’. (TL: If you remember my last note regarding this System 371, now Eok-Samchiri has been using honorifics in the messages for some time now.)
Sejun waited for about five minutes, but still no response.
“100 Destruction Pioneer Seeds.”
He created Destruction Pioneer Seeds.
Thanks to the Destruction Devourers, the energy of destruction in the area had significantly decreased. The remaining energy of destruction could be endured with <Power: Weak Destruction Resistance>, so he planned to use the combat-enhanced Destruction Pioneers as bodyguards.
Just in case there were still snakes left.
“Haha. This is the foresight of me, the great Park Sejun nim.”
Sejun laughed as he planted the Destruction Pioneer Seeds.
Pook.
As he planted the seeds, his anxious heart felt a little bit more at ease.
A moment later.
“Guys, let’s go!”
Kya-kya!
Sejun moved north with 100 Destruction Pioneers. He intended to use another waypoint to leave this place.
Kiki!
Kya-kya!
Sejun arrived at where the first wall of destruction had been, joining the Destruction Devourers and Destruction Pioneers that had fallen behind during the movement.
Tap.
[……]
Again, the waypoint did not respond.
So he immediately moved to the waypoint at the second Destruction Wall, but
[……]
It was the same.
“What? Am I stranded again?”
Growl.
“The Void Storage doesn’t open here either…”
Along with the sound from his stomach, Sejun’s survival instincts kicked in.
***
“What is going on?”
Corruption was very flustered by the current situation.
She had clearly wished for only Sejun and herself to be together…
I’ve gotten so much weaker.
Something had gone wrong, and her power had greatly weakened. About one-tenth of Sejun’s?
“Fuhehe.”
“Kyaang!”
Thump. Thump.
Because of that, she had to hide in a corner to avoid the mental fragments who had absorbed her power.
The situation between Corruption and the mental fragments had been reversed.
Sejun, I’m scared.
Please come save me.
Corruption held her breath and tightly shut her eyes, hoping time would pass quickly so that Sejun would come find her.
***
“Seed Creation.”
[Please select the seed to create.][Magical Cherry Tomato Seed]
[Power Sweet Potato Seed]
…
..
.
[Destruction Devourer Seed]
[Destruction Pioneer Seed]
[Fiery Peanut]
[Melon of Longevity]
[Extremely Delicious Agility Carrot]
[Extremely Delicious Magical Cherry Tomato]
…
..
.
“Hmm. What should I plant today?”
As Sejun looked at the seed list in thought,
“Let’s go with cherry tomatoes.”
He created the Extremely Delicious Magical Cherry Tomato Seed.
Over time, he had harvested various new varieties, and by harvesting those new varieties over 100 million times, the variety of seeds he could create had significantly increased.
Having created the seed,
Ssskk.
Sejun drew a line on the wall,
正
and completed the character 正. (TL: If you remember the initial chapters of this novel, Sejun used 正 to mark down days.)
Being able to perform Seed Creation meant that a day had passed.
“Phew. This place is full too. Then how many years have passed?”
Sejun spoke in a lonely voice as he looked at the 73rd completed 正 character.
Above the 73rd row, there were nine more rows, each tightly filled with 73 正 characters.
“Since each row represents one year, that means… it’s already been 10 years? Wow. Ten years…”
It had been 10 years since Sejun was stranded in the Land of Destruction.
He had completely conquered the Land of Destruction a few days ago by destroying the fifth wall of destruction.
Theo, why isn’t that guy coming to find me? I miss him… and Aileen, and Cuengi, and Paespaes, and Blackie too…
When Sejun was missing his companions,
Thump. Thump.
“Guys, stop!”
Sejun called out to three children waddling toward him from a distance, making heavy thudding sounds.
They were children of creation tainted by destruction, having received Corruption’s power. Their power was so strong that if they got too close, Sejun’s life would be at risk, so he hurriedly stopped them.
“Oka~y!”
“Yep!”
“Awight!”
Fortunately, the children obediently listened to Sejun’s words.
Swoosh. Swoosh.
“Did you come because you’re hungry?”
Sejun tossed them snacks and asked.
Nod. Nod. Nod.
Too busy eating to respond, the children instead nodded vigorously.
After filling up on snacks,
“Teacheeer! Dongdong saw someone weird over there!”
The eldest, Dongdong, said to Sejun.
For reference, the three children were named Dongdong, Nangnang, and Mangmang. He had given them gentle names with the hope they wouldn’t cause trouble.
When Sejun first met Dongdong,
“Time Stop!”
He activated the Primordial God’s Power (Replica): Time Stop to avoid Dongdong’s energy, but
[Primordial God’s Power (Replica): Time Stop is currently active.]He had fainted upon seeing the incomprehensible message stating that the power was currently being used.
“But it’s scared of Dongdong, Nangnang, and Mangmang, so we didn’t get close!”
“Really? Dongdong did a good job. I’ll go take a look.”
“Hehe.”
At Sejun’s praise, Dongdong smiled brightly and took his younger siblings back to where they stayed.
Because they had to get out of the way for Sejun to move freely.
Thump. Thump.
Once the children disappeared,
“Guys, let’s go.”
Kya-kya!
Sejun, under the escort of the Destruction Pioneers, moved in the direction Dongdong had pointed.
“Sejun, why are you only coming now?!”
He saw a small, ugly black snake leaping into his arms.
It was Corruption, who had been waiting for Sejun for 10 years.
***
99th floor of the Black Tower.
Meow?! Where did great hybrid Chairman Park go, meow?!
In the world where time had stopped, Theo realized Sejun was gone.
