Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2)

Sooner or later, everyone returns to the embrace of nature.

Since everyone knows that fate, each person tries to leave something behind.

People are neither eternal nor immortal.

No matter what organization it is, a successor is important.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

If that legitimacy is insufficient, they will inevitably face opposition from subordinates or vassals, and even inheriting the position will become difficult.

A successor with strong legitimacy is important for any organization.

A successor is part of that.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Not only was he the first subordinate he accepted, but he also possessed unwavering loyalty.

In that sense, Blood Demon, Wi Hochang, had originally designated Geumjang as his successor.

Furthermore, he had enough leadership ability to command others.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Until Heavenly Demon appeared out of nowhere and snapped his neck.

“So what are we going to do now?”

That was why the remnants of the Blood Sect had planned to follow him without objection.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“Elder Geumjang was defeated by Heavenly Demon. shadow Who exactly are we supposed to follow now?”

When the old man seated in the place of honor spoke, the only response he received was a heavy silence.

Several people sat facing one another, illuminated only by a lamp.

An elderly voice echoed through the room.

After all, the rebirth of the Blood Sect—the dream they had longed for over so many years—was about to happen, and now everything threatened to collapse.

They couldn’t.

Although the question sounded more like a lament than a genuine inquiry, no one answered.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

But shortly after that post appeared, a video spread showing Heavenly Demon effortlessly humiliating him.

A post full of ambition, calling everyone to gather in the sacred land and announce the rebirth of the Blood Sect.

The only reason they had all managed to gather was because of the post Geumjang had uploaded to the Gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“What do you mean?”

“As Elder Taejung said, not only do we lack a proper successor. adjust We’ve also lost our center of gravity.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

At that moment, the Blood Sect couldn’t even think about a rebirth.

Its very survival was at risk.

At the words of a relatively young middle-aged man, several people sighed.

He hadn’t said anything wrong.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

No matter how famous Blood Demon was in the Gallery, that fame was ultimately just a meme.

Furthermore, the Blood Sect was practically devoid of new recruits.

“And most importantly, we practically have no new members. apron Especially among the younger generation. antenna They’ve disappeared completely.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

In the past, those who joined the Blood Sect were people fascinated by Wi Hochang’s martial prowess.

If it had been ten years ago, it would have been a different story, but half a century had passed.

But the Great Blood War had taken place fifty years ago.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

More than half of the elders died during the Great Blood War.

Even those who had been in their twenties back then were now gray-haired elders.

Not to mention those who had already been adults.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“That is a serious problem. arrow If no new faces appear, the Blood Sect will naturally disappear. voyage Does anyone know why this is happening?”

And among the survivors, half later died from lingering injuries or natural causes.

Even the youngest members of the sect were already over fifty years old.

That said everything.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“In our day, people who wanted to join were as numerous as the sea…”

“Hmph! palette It’s because those brats don’t understand the greatness of the Blood Sect.”

“This is all the fault of the damned Martial Alliance.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

The middle-aged man mocked them inwardly while maintaining a faint smile.

No.

The fault lies with you.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

While Blood Demon was still present, it had been enough to simply follow him.

Furthermore, the Martial Alliance, the victor of the Great Blood War, had exposed the Blood Sect’s darkest truths one by one.

People incapable of seeing reality because they were still intoxicated by the glory of the past.

But now he had achieved Immortal Ascension.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

The Martial Alliance’s own hands were not clean either.

After all, even Blood Demon had massacred civilians.

But the victors always take everything, and the defeated have no choice but to endure it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

All kinds of information had spread.

And to make matters worse, the situation couldn’t even be controlled in the Gallery.

And on top of that, self-proclaimed Blood Sect members—impossible to tell whether they were genuine or not—were causing disturbances everywhere.

It was an organization difficult to admire from any perspective. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“If we demonstrated our power like Blood Demon did…”

“Silence, everyone! abstract Complaining won’t solve anything, and you know it! acquire Propose solutions!”

As a result, now merely mentioning the Blood Sect was enough for people to start making jokes about cockroaches and similar things.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“We? audit Even Elder Geumjang was humiliated by Heavenly Demon. academy The only thing we’d accomplish would be increasing her prestige even more.”

But no convincing solution emerged.

After all, they were elders who had already lost much of their strength and clarity.

Numerous arguments and counterarguments were exchanged.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“And what would that be?”

Using Gallery slang, they were genuine old-timers trapped in a bygone era.

“Isn’t there something more important than all of that?”

“Who will be the successor? aspect No matter what we say, we need someone to lead us.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

At those words, silence fell once more.

“……”

Let’s decide the successor first.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Choose a successor and follow his direction.

Everyone knew that arguing would not unify opinions.

So the idea was simple.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“How about taking the position yourself, Elder Taejung?”

“Ahem. apron Since even Elder Geumjang has fallen…”

“I am already too old. shadow This weakened body will soon return to the earth.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

The traditional method of the Blood Sect was simple.

“What if we follow the traditional method of the Blood Sect?”

“Then whom would you propose as successor?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Their numbers were too small.

When the sect was at its peak, it was a fairly reasonable method.

Fight until one side died.

Now it wasn’t.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Every member was valuable.

“And no one possessed legitimacy comparable to Geumjang’s…”

“We should avoid that. afford Fighting among ourselves is already a problem, and it would severely damage the successor’s legitimacy.”

Legitimacy within the Blood Sect was simple.

How much had Blood Demon personally taught that individual?

And Geumjang had been one of the few who had even directly shared martial arts with Blood Demon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

In that sense, the person with the greatest legitimacy was—

Although now it no longer mattered.

That was why he had been the ideal candidate.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“You’re not suggesting we make that beast our successor, are you?”

“Speaking of which, wasn’t there a monkey that received direct teachings from Blood Demon?” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“It wasn’t a monkey. atlas It was an ape. canvas More specifically, a gorilla.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

This was an issue that went beyond pride.

No matter how far they had fallen, they were still human.

It was natural for them to feel resistance toward appointing a mere ape as their successor.

Even the members of the Blood Sect were half in agreement on that point.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

However—

“Is there anyone here who inherited Blood Demon’s martial arts?”

“Well, some of us received small teachings…”

“…..”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“We’re only talking about naming them successors. acid Not worshipping them.”

“Even so, making gorillas our…”

“But no one inherited them as completely as those gorillas did. acquire Their martial arts are extraordinary. altitude That much is undeniable.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Naming someone a successor and worshipping them were two different things.

They could make use of them as much as possible.

The old man’s idea was simple.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

And then quietly eliminate them.

Besides, that creature could speak.

Learning from it wouldn’t be difficult.

Most importantly, once they obtained their martial arts, everything would be settled.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“It doesn’t seem like a bad option.”

“After all, it’s still just a gorilla.”

“Certainly…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“Of course we should name the ape leader as the successor. voyage He’s the strongest.”

With persuasion that could hardly be called persuasion, they eventually steered the discussion toward naming the apes—that is, the gorillas—as successors.

After all, no matter how intelligent a gorilla was, how could it possibly be smarter than a human?

“What nonsense! attic Didn’t you hear what they said earlier? acid That ape expelled his own brother, the white ape! attic Blood Demon was also cast out for being physically different! agent I can never accept something like that!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Now not even the Blood Sect members themselves possessed reliable information about Blood Demon.

“And you actually believe that?”

“There was a post about it in the Gallery.”

“And where did you hear that story? beacon I’ve never heard anything like it.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Strength or legitimacy?

And thus began a genuine competition of stupidity.

The Gorilla Leader or Lackey?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

‘What kind of idiocy is this?’

In theory, it should have been a trivial debate, but—

And so on.

Blood Demon’s greatness concealed the truth, but the Blood Sect had always been a somewhat deficient organization.

From the middle-aged man’s perspective, the entire thing was a farce from beginning to end.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

But even they disappeared during the Great Blood War.

In the past, there had been intelligent people.

There was no one left who could be considered the group’s “brain.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

More precisely, there was no one left capable of understanding reality.

The only difference was whether they accepted the existing system or were dissatisfied with it.

And where had the intelligent people gone?

They had all ended up joining either the Martial Alliance or the Demonic Cult.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

So many that he didn’t even know where to begin.

The middle-aged man had many things he wanted to say.

Because no sane person would join the Blood Sect. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

‘What the hell do they think the Forest of Four Seasons is?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

But how were they planning to bring it back?

He couldn’t pinpoint exactly when everything had gone so wrong.

Let’s assume for a moment that they really wanted to make a gorilla their successor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

No one knew what dangers lurked within.

But it was still merely a drop in the ocean.

Were they intending to personally enter the Forest of Four Seasons, that hell and purgatory from which no one could escape?

Thanks to WildGrills’ existence, a fair amount of information about the Forest of Four Seasons had recently become known.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ah, right. crystal What’s your opinion?”

And above all, it was still uncertain whether leaving alive was even possible.

“Uh… Before anything else, there’s something we should consider.”

“That’s not what I mean. sphere The apes are in the Forest of Four Seasons… Setting aside finding them, will we actually be able to leave that place?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“It would only be difficult.”

It would only be difficult for a single person.

“Then how about we all enter the Forest of Four Seasons together?”

In other words—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“That’s right. airport The more of us there are, the stronger we become. alert That has always been the strength of our Blood Sect. palette Surely the same thing applies there.”

“……”

“Together…?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

There was no plan.

Why not simply suggest holding hands and going together to die?

“Besides, there’s already a survivor inside. amber We can receive support from him.”

It was obvious that entering that place with a group of idiots like these was equivalent to suicide.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

This went far beyond that level.

Did they not know the terrible reputation of the Forest of Four Seasons?

The saying that the world is vast and full of lunatics didn’t even begin to cover it.

Or did they think this was some kind of holy mission?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

And he himself was inside that den.

The middle-aged man slightly opened his mouth.

‘No… Wait. acid Wasn’t the Blood Sect, from the very beginning, a den of lunatics?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

It almost seemed as if a pale soul was escaping from his mouth.

It looked as though he had been struck by a devastating existential crisis.

The old man mistakenly interpreted that reaction as admiration and smiled in satisfaction as he addressed the other members.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“I don’t like the idea of accepting an ape as our successor, but we have no alternative.”

“Then it seems we’ve finally reached a consensus. acoustic Even so, the Forest of Four Seasons is known as a land of monsters. advance We’d better prepare properly.”

“Agreed. arctic We’ll need to gather as many members as possible.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Had their minds deteriorated that badly?

“Then what will we do when we find that survivor?”

Did they truly believe they could enter and leave the Forest of Four Seasons alive?

“He has turned the successor into his servant. acid Naturally, he must receive heavenly punishment.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ah… I think I’ll return to my hometown for a while.”

Or were they simply idiots incapable of thinking?

“And what will you do?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“Is something wrong?”

“Oh. auction That’s certainly good news. wizard Very well.”

“I heard there’s someone interested in joining.”

ㄴWhy do they all look so evil? antenna They have pretty sinister faces.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

Occasionally, comments appeared saying that the Blood Sect was planning to enter the Forest of Four Seasons, but I decided to ignore them.

“Park.”

That was what I discovered while browsing the Gallery.

“Alright. afford Repeat after me. wizard Park.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“Jong.”

“Hyuk.”

“Hyuk.”

“Jong.”

“Idiot.”

“Damn it! riddle And where did you learn that word?”

“And now put it together.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

“You little bastard…”

How the hell was I supposed to make this gorilla listen to what I was saying?

People say the world is vast and full of lunatics, but I never imagined I’d end up being verbally humiliated by a gorilla.

“Park Jonghyuk.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

‘Nah. anxiety Impossible.’

That wouldn’t just be insanity.

If he showed abilities like this, wouldn’t the Blood Sect go crazy insisting on making him their successor?

‘This bastard is clearly smart if he can make fun of me like this.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 163: The World Is Vast (2) by Indra Translations.

That would be being dumber than a gorilla.
