People gathered in Jürgen’s office. Benjamin and Yurisien took their seats, with Mitchell and Ivan standing behind them.
Kali and Andersen sat on either side of Jürgen, and on the opposite side of Benjamin, Pope Jorge, who had been praying throughout, took a seat.
“I’m truly relieved that everyone is safe. Thanks to the grace of Lord Gwiscion.”
Jorge prayed once again from his seat. Benjamin also joined his hands, and Yurisien and Jürgen took a moment to express their gratitude.
Afterwards, Jorge talked about the final trial of the Catacombs. Jürgen was greatly surprised and angered, but as it was a matter for the clergy, he quickly swallowed his anger. Thanks to Yurisien fervently emphasizing her safety, it didn’t take long.
“But you must still undergo the examination.”
“I’ll assist with my power.”
Benjamin responded to Jürgen’s firm statement. Jürgen, uncomfortable about the mention of examining the respiratory system with the help of power, managed to conceal his displeasure. However, for a while, Jorge seemed uninterested in the matter.
Later, Benjamin got to the main point.
“After breaking the barrier and entering the Catacombs, we investigated the Seokgwan, but couldn’t find the book. However, we found a staircase leading to the basement while searching.”
“The basement…? There was a basement?”
Jorge, who was wiping his chest as if relieved by Yurisien’s story that they safely broke the barrier, was surprised and asked. He hadn’t entered inside since he only knew the location of the Catacombs like a transmitted tradition.
Therefore, because he didn’t know what the inside looked like in detail, this story was quite interesting and astonishing.
“Only the Lord and I went down. Mitchell and Ivan were waiting above just in case. The place we went down to was very narrow.”
“It was such a narrow place that even with one lamp, the entire interior was clearly visible. It seemed tall to us as we descended. But there was no book there.”
Supplementing Yurisien’s explanation, Benjamin’s words made Jürgen furrow his brows.
“Then… does that mean you failed?”
Jürgen’s eyes flickered, looking out of the window. In the distance, the eerie sound of the undead coming out to the street could be heard.
To his question about whether there really was no way to solve this disastrous situation, Yurisien, with a faint smile, raised her head and responded.
“No, we succeeded. It was there.”
“Hmm…?”
“The entire narrow space was the book. We were foolish. We had a very narrow-minded way of thinking. Moreover, even if the book is well preserved, there is a risk of it being lost or damaged. But not with the tablets. Moreover, if it’s the entire Catacombs!”
“The entire Catacombs… I see!”
At Yurisien’s words, Jürgen’s eyes widened.
“It’s the wall. The wall of the Catacombs, the wall of the basement, all made of tablets. Tablets with records!”
“Yes, that’s right. And those tablets were protected by an even more ingenious device.”
“An ingenious device?”
“Yes. It’s precisely the Aura.”
In response to Jürgen’s question, Benjamin nodded and turned to Jorge.
“Just because they are popes or priests doesn’t mean they are all upright individuals. It seems that the adults sleeping in the Catacombs were concerned about this. They devised a mechanism so that only those who can handle the Aura well can inherit the knowledge of the tablets.”
“The ability to control the Aura is something only those who have performed enough good deeds can do. Even I, with only the ambition to return to the imperial city and stand before the lady, have achieved it.”
Benjamin was bewildered by Jorge’s story. Yurisien turned to Benjamin with an expression that seemed to ask, ‘Really?’
With a face that quickly blushed, Benjamin blinked his eyes. Apparently, Jorge didn’t expect to reveal this so openly. Smiling inwardly, Jorge continued speaking.
“In other words, if you harbor even the slightest different intention or lack sincerity, you cannot reap the benefits. It was fortunate that His Highness went there. That was the correct answer.”
Jorge’s expression, which had been somewhat regretful, relaxed a bit. Even Jorge, who hadn’t known the secret of the basement and the tablets, believed in Benjamin, who had uncovered them.
“The secret of the tablets was found by Yurisien. I just felt frustrated when I saw the cramped space, but Yurisien observed it persistently.”
“No, I didn’t observe it either. I just felt regret… it was just lingering regret.”
Yurisien, with a gloomy expression, turned her head away, indicating that this story wasn’t essential. Then, she looked straight at Jürgen and Jorge and said,
“It was written on the tablets. If, by any chance, the resurrection of the ancestors of the Heben Faith occurs… in other words, if the worst situation happens where the undead dominate the world, what would be the wise way to deal with it.”
“Indeed, adults. Predicting even such a calamity.”
Jorge prayed briefly again. Meanwhile, Benjamin leaned slightly toward Jürgen and spoke.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
