Harvesting Gap (수확하는 틈새), he is someone who can conceal all existence within the gaps. Hence, Divine Throne has never truly faced his essence even once. The only one who can neutralize his ability to negate existence, uniquely and most thoroughly.
Overview[]
Among the countless constellations in the universe, he is the most secretive, cunning, and vicious. Neither his race nor the facets of the constellations he interacts with, nor even the nature of his abilities, has been accurately understood.
If there is one advantage Divine Throne has over the others, it's that he has already experienced his cunning strategies numerous times. He may still appear as an observer in the Constellation War and declare neutrality among the Neutral Constellations, but Divine Throne vividly remembers the sordid history he has caused at the fringes of the Constellation War.
In fact, throughout all the wars until now, he has moved faster than any of the other Constellations. Even now, he won't hesitate to meticulously prepare to seize advantageous positions in advance.
There was one unforgettable fear for Divine Throne.
Feeding.
Even as he lived as a reincarnated soul with memories erased, whenever he heard the word "feeding," an inexplicable fear always surfaced. Taking advantage of the immense chaos during the Constellation War, that blasted crevice, which had “harvested” over half of the human civilization's souls, finally rose to the Ranks of The Creators. Until the very end, no other Constellation knew if there was such immense value hidden within human souls. Only the crevice that harvested knew the true secret of humanity in advance, and its actions in the final moments were truly shocking.
Secrets[]
Harvesting gap.
A cunning being who has frustrated him for a long time, the de facto head of the Constellation camp, and a person who has cruelly consumed the soul and flesh of the human race countless times. How can he, who has violated the laws of the universe with unimaginable schemes and is truly the absolute evil of the constellation world, be Jang Sam-Bong, the Taoist ancestor of Taoism?
He was a person who left Taoism and was revered as a saint even in the civilian world, and was a great person who was most worthy of the title of Great Emperor. A being whose gentle nature and temperament are so deep that they sometimes seem foolish, symbolizing the good people themselves. The identity of such a great, good man is such an ugly harvesting gap!
Jo Hwi: “But I’m sure I saw your body…” … .”
Jang Sam-bong nodded silently.
-“That was a timeline where the law of cause and effect was applied, in which Jang Sam-Bong could not break through to the rank of Throne (座). Of course, I would have ended my life there without forgetting my duty as a Taoist. It’s not that strange.”
The one who had welcomed him as a disciple when he was a novice monk was none other than Jo Hwi. His state of being, his extensive knowledge and wisdom, his upright character—Jang Sambong was undoubtedly an incorruptible being. Among the disciples, he was the only one who comprehended his intentions and continued his legacy. He embodied the perfect image of a righteous person, truly resembling an incarnation of the theory of innate goodness. Is it really that strange that I, at this timeline, broke through to the rank of throne?"
Jo Hwi: "It's absolutely impossible!"
Even the major factions in the martial world, who considered themselves the gates of the martial world, regarded the birth of a master of the Absolute Realm as a miracle. Moreover, transcending the realm known as the Nature realm in the martial world, leaping over countless barriers beyond that, and glimpsing into the noble realm of the throne—it was something that could only be achieved by transcending human lifespans countless times. If the process were so easy, there would have been numerous thrones born among the senior figures of each faction or from the ranks of the high-ranking elders.
Jang Sam-bong took out something that looked like a jade pill from his arms with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Bodhidharma's Jase? A treasure Jo Hwi created with his own hands in order to live as a reincarnation in another timeline! How could such a dangerous item be in Jang Sanbong’s hands? Above all, that Bodhidharma's Jade completely disappears the moment its soul permeates the reincarnation of another timeline.
-“The name of this Dharma treasure I know is Yeo Ui-Hwan (如意丸). “It is a type of spirit prison completed by unknown ancestors of the past who sacrificed their lives.”
As far as Jo Hwi knows, there has never been a Spirit prison named Yeo Ui-hwan. Above all, the nature of the power emanating from the Bodhidharma's Treasure called Yeo ui-hwan was very similar to his own Bodhidharma's Jade.
-“Anyway, this Bodhidharma's Treasure is the secret to how I was able to reach Throne.”
Jo Hwi: “What can we do with that jade?”
-“You can absorb the other person’s power of existence and replace it with your own.”
Jo Hwi: "what!"
It's like being able to absorb an opponent's existence force like the martial arts technique! Isn't that the inherent power of that damned 'harvest gap'? Jo Hwi was finally able to clearly understand how this Jang Sam-bong was given the divine name of ‘harvest gap’. The status of throne, which can only be reached by surpassing countless human lifespans, was achieved simply by absorbing the opponent's existence force!
A being who wielded a power to absorb the life force of others and convert it into their own strength. During Bodhidharma's era, there was an evil master who possessed such an ability among the disciples he first received.
The precedent for the term 'World of Chaos' - a word used by Venerables of the Sipirit Realm to refer to the human world - was precisely because the lower realm at that time was a world ruled by the Chaotic World Demon. At that time, even the virtuous ones couldn't resist the Chaotic World Demon, who had completed a terrifying power by endlessly plundering human vitality. Countless meridians and Taoists collapsed before this evil power, and even the Emperor of the Central Plains had no choice but to submit to a single word from the Chaotic World Demon.
Thus, the lower realm was considered the property of the Chaotic World Demon and came to be known as the World of Chaos. At that time, if he, as the reincarnation of 'Dharma,' hadn't disciplined and restrained the Chaotic World Demon, making him a disciple, who knows if this Central Plains might have already perished under his complete malevolence.
When Jo Hwi demanded, glaring at him as if he were going to kill him, surprisingly, Jang Sam-bong obediently gave him Yeo Ui-hwan.
Jo Hwi, who received the Yeoeuihwan, raised his presence power and began to slowly inject it. Jo Hwi's face is distorted like a murderer. This treasure of Yeouihwan contained not only Chaotic World Demon's own evil magical power, but also the magical power of Venerable Uicheon and Martial Heavenly Sage, who were his other disciples. Considering that their pure magical power was mixed with Chaotic World Demon's evil magical power, it was clear that the two famous disciples had been absorbed by Chaotic World Demon. 'How can this be?'
To summarize what Jang Sam-bong said, this was the time period after he left for another reincarnation through Bodhidharma's Jade. Isn't it a normal situation for the three remaining disciples to hate Bodhidharma and create their own spirit prisons as he had arranged? The three spirit prisons they left behind.
Uicheon Crimson Jade.
Chaotic World Heavebly Jade.
Martial Heaven Jade.
Through their spirit prisons, Jo Hwi was able to cultivate the experience and skills of the great people who existed in the history of the Central Plains and awaken again as a constellation. His arrangements were truly thorough and could never be twisted. Obviously, this is a result other than one's own arrangements and predictions.
In the end, Jo Hwi had no choice but to accept that Jang Sam-bong was a great sage who had cultivated his martial arts skills for a long time, but at the same time, he was a strong man who pursued power. The thirst for the ultimate state, what warrior can avoid that desperate desire? Also, no matter how he obtained Yeo Ui-hwan, since the story of the birth of the dangerous Dharma Treasure called Yeo Ui-hwan started from his disciples, he was responsible for all of these terrible results. Therefore, there was no way that it would be comfortable to punish Jang Sam-bong, or rather, Gap, who was harvesting.
Jo Hwi: "Please tell me one thing, Jang Sam-bong. What value was there in the constellation that was reached by replacing the living souls of countless people with one's own power of existence? Did you tremble with joy and trepidation from the infinite sense of omnipotence? I guess not. Even though you were the one who broke through the human race and became a distant immortal being, he would have never been satisfied with that. “Where desire touches, another desire takes root.
Even if you win the Constellation War, consume all human species, and rise to the rank of creator, your desire will never end. You will definitely try to become equal to the ‘beginning’ that rules over the creators. Will you eat the creators then? Are you going to eat up all the rules? What if you live forever and become equal to the beginning? What’s left for you after that?”...
