MB Ch 13
by AnonAnemone“Why are you so sad?”
Bari heard the smooth sound of silk dragging on the ground. Startled, she turned her head.
Mago was walking up the tower. Having reached their peak bloom, the purple-blue hydrangeas were contrasted against the light sky blue of the goddess’s robes. The cloth fluttered behind her like butterfly wings. Her black hair, gleaming like a jackdaw’s wings, was swept up high on her head, and strings of sapphires hung down.

The goddess’s beauty could tempt every eye.
There was no way someone like her was her real mother.

Mago lifted her soft hands and wiped the tears from Bari’s eyes.
“Anxiety and sorrow is not good. However…”

The goddess sat down and leaned back against the tower’s banister as she spoke in a dramatic voice.
“There is no such thing as life without anxiety and sorrow. Therefore, the most important thing is to become someone who is strong enough to endure them.”

Bari’s lips stretched into a faint smile as she gazed at her. Mago… was strange. Bari couldn’t describe her in any other way. She seemed incredibly gentle, but she also seemed cold. While she seemed terribly cold, she also seemed warm. Kindness and cruelty, gentle and cold-hearted. The goddess seemed to embody both. Therefore, she was someone who lived outside the limits of human comprehension.
“Mother.”

Bari called to her in a low voice. Mago raised a brow with curiosity.
“In regards to… this child’s father…”

She didn’t want to talk about this, but she couldn’t help it.
“Did I love him?”

When she heard Bari’s question, the goddess’s navy blue eyes gazed at her. Bari felt awkward with embarrassment and lowered her eyes. Her black hair that had grown longer during her stay here fell down over her cheeks.
Her lovable black eyes were filled with dread and confusion. Her nicely brushed hair glistened, and the few jasmine flowers that were placed in her hair flowed down her back along with her hair.

“I don’t know.”
Mago spoke in a slightly cold tone. Then she raised her hand and lifted Bari’s chin. She was merely twenty-one years old. Humans’ lifespans were too short for them to comprehend the ways of the universe. However, they were so adorable.

A faint smile filled Mago’s eyes.
“Child, everything in this world is a mix of beauty and ugliness, kindness and cruelty, life and death. Within all this, humans are bound to collapse and fall. Love is the only force that can defeat all things. It is not a moment’s passion or bodily lust. It is years of pent-up patience and anguish, but your poor heart can’t help but return to that special someone. Therefore… I do not know if you have truly experienced that love or whether you can experience it at all.”

She calmly stroked Bari’s face. The goddess’s own face was a mixture of sympathy and cruelty. She took back her hand from Bari’s chin and flashed her a beautiful smile.
“Tonight, we will hold the Jinoguije1. All the gods of the heavenly realm as well as the underworld will come to my home to attend.”

Mago looked at her with a dark gleam in her eyes and grinned.
“You should attend as well. The Jinoguije is a fun day. You will certainly see a lot of entertaining sights.”

Mago smiled coldly and turned around.

The darkness gradually settled down, and cloth lanterns flew up and floated inside Mago’s palace. The beautiful yellow lanterns looked like lotus flowers blooming in the black sky. Bari stood at the window and let out an exclamation as she gazed at the lanterns. The palace was already beautiful as it was, but the floating lanterns were absolutely splendid. The reflections of the lanterns on the waterfall made it look like a cascade of sparkling stars.
However, the palace’s beauty could not compare to the splendor of the arriving gods. Horses with white wings, birds with wide wings, even horses glowing with fire… These mythical animals pulled the carriages that arrived. A strange fragrance was in the air. A heavy, cold breeze flew through the residence.

Bari stood in front of the window and gazed out. The heavenly gods’ appearances seemed so grandiose. The jewels sparkling on top of their heads and the jewelry on their splendid clothes were things she could never see anywhere else in the world. The heavenly gods were incredibly beautiful, and the regents of the underworld looked frightening. The Heavenly Emperor and the King of the Underworld were especially intimidating.
“Miss, please come over here.”

Doah called Bari over with an excited voice. There was a newly made blue silk dress hanging on the wall behind her. Bari suddenly felt dread, so she shook her head.
“Don’t you think it’ll be best if I don’t attend? Everyone looks too intimidating.”

“So please try and stay with us fairies as much as possible. We are in the goddess-nim’s palace, so nothing should happen, but there are some strong-minded people in attendance, so if there is some trouble, it will be quite troublesome.”

Bari grew sullen at the thought that Sir Mujang would not be attending. She didn’t think there would be much fun attending a banquet without him there. Suddenly, she lifted her head in shock. Why did it matter to her whether Sir Mujang came or not?
Bari rebuked herself and began to put on her makeup. She dressed up as simply as possible. She brushed her hair and put it up before accessorizing it with a hydrangea. She put as little makeup as possible and put on her blue silk dress. However, even though it wasn’t much, she looked surprisingly elegant and beautiful.

“Waa, at first I couldn’t tell because you were so injured, but now that I can get a good look, you are very beautiful.”

Bari’s face stiffened. Doah frantically went outside. Bari tried to call her back, but she did not return. Bari sat back down in front of the vanity with a confused expression on her face. The woman’s small face in the mirror was ghostly pale.

Could it be that I’ve only been inside this palace for four months?
The sudden nightly appearance of a boy named Ran, his warning that she was in danger, the food that did not seem to suit her tastes, no one seemingly able to speak readily about her past… All of this could be explained if she had only been here for four months.

At the very least, Mother knew. The boy Ran could not tell her, and Sir Mujang also knew but did not say anything.

As if enshrouded in a thick fog, everything was unclear. Bari closed her eyes. She got up from her seat. Even though today was a busy day, she was going to have to ask her mother one more time. She needed to know what happened to her.
Bari snuck out of her room and went into the garden. Her surroundings were full of clamor and chaos as guests entertained themselves. The fairies kindly guided them, and the sounds of cloud-like clothing rustling in the air intermingled with the sounds of laughter. The terrifying King of the Underworld and his attendants were already gathered in the Northern Star Hall, and it seemed that the final guest to arrive would be the Heavenly Emperor.

Bari searched around for Mago. There was no trace of her. Since Mago was the mistress of this residence as well as the greatest Mother Goddess, Bari heard that even the Heavenly Emperor could not order her around as he pleased. Was she still inside her residence? Bari cautiously walked towards Mago’s residence.
Within the dense forest, vivid blood-red China roses were in bloom. Every time she took a step, the plants crunched underneath her feet. The moment she arrived at the residence and was about to walk through the gate, she carelessly didn’t look where she was going. She didn’t recognize that someone was in front of her and ran into him.

“Ah, where are my manners? My name is Banya. I am the eldest son of the Heavenly Emperor.”
Bari froze.

How did things get so twisted? Bari was dragged to the banquet by Banya and was seated at a seat of honor. All the heavenly gods and the gods of the underworld gazed at her with curiosity before whispering amongst themselves as they glanced back at her. Those who did not experience something like this did not know how unpleasant it felt. It felt as if they were looking at her like she was some kind of exotic animal.
“Ah, this is a fragrant wine from the heavenly realm. Would you like to try some?”

Banya was incredibly hospitable to her. The Heavenly Emperor’s eldest son. Basically, his status was equivalent to that of a crown prince. But he had placed a human woman, a pregnant woman at that, in the seat next to him. This spectacle was quite unusual.
“Why are you being like this?”

Bari whispered anxiously. Behind a nearby pillar, Doah was looking at Bari, seemingly frightened out of her wits. Since Bari was seated next to Banya, Doah was in no position to take her away.
“Ah, just because… I’ve always wanted to meet you. Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator
Of course she felt uncomfortable. She knew he was well aware of this, but he was still behaving this way. Bari looked up at him. She didn’t know if he was the most handsome man in the heavens, but she did not think his looks accurately represented his cruelty.
Mago needs to come here as soon as possible.

The gazes of the gods were odd. They giggled and looked her up and down, causing a shiver to run down her spine. She wanted to get out of here. Suddenly, a long shout announced the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor!

Bari dazedly stood up. A man in golden robes walked into the banquet hall. He looked much younger than she’d expected. He looked no older than forty. He had stern eyes and stiff lips, exuding prestige.
Doah had told her that the heavenly realm lacked aging and ugliness. However, it was strange. In a world where there was no aging or ugliness, and therefore no sorrow or suffering, why did it look so strange?

Faces that all looked the same as if they had come from the same mold. Blinding silk clothes. Elegant demeanors. Why did it all seem so terrifying? As if the gods from the underworld agreed with her, their expressions were cold and sarcastic.
“Is Mother Goddess not here?”

The Heavenly Emperor’s voice ran in the banquet hall. It was only proper that the master of the banquet be in attendance. However, Mago had not shown her face yet. Bari was also curious and turned around to look at Doah. Doah slightly shook her head, confirming Mago’s absence.

Bari clenched her hands due to the suffocating tension. She wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. No matter how she looked at it, she did not belong here. Banya continued to gaze at her with a beautiful smile on his face. However, the smile looked strangely cold.
“I will take my leave.”

Suddenly, all the gods stood up. A pool of light settled over the entire banquet hall that had already been filled with all kinds of fragrances and colors. Bari turned around and gazed at the goddess as she entered the banquet hall. Her hair had been styled into cloud-like loops, emitting a black light. The hairpin and jewelry in her hair were like stars. Crystals hung next to her white-jade face, and her perfect, white clothes were like the Milky Way.
Bari’s lips parted in awe as she gazed at her. Although she had always believed Mago to be beautiful, this was the first time she was seeing Mago with such a dignified and magnificent appearance.

“It seems that you have certainly prepared a blessing for us all, Mother Goddess.”

“Don’t you also know who this girl is, Father Emperor? Order has currently collapsed from the ten realms, and the heavenly realm is rotting. This girl with the power of Hwan is currently in the Mother Goddess’s palace in these dire times. Why must we hold back?”

However, Banya was heartless. He lifted Bari’s arm. Her arm felt like it was going to rip off, but all Bari could do was cry out in pain. She tried to escape, but his powerful strength was too great. Banya raised his hand and ripped open her jeogori. Bari grew even more shocked.
Riiiip! Her silk jeogori and skirt ripped apart. Unlike Bari, who screamed, the gods’ eyes all went to her belly. The blue pattern was now clearly prominent on her pale, swollen belly. All of their eyes fell onto this blue insignia. The hall filled with silence as if cold water had been dumped in the room. Suddenly, everyone roared with exclamations.

The heavenly gods held out both their hands and cried out to Mago. Not that long ago, these gods were exuding elegance and splendor, but now they were unbelievably frenzied and desperate. Bari protected her child and lifted her head. Standing on a high platform above the chaos, Mago’s expression did not change.
Mother… Maybe… she isn’t my mother?

Bari clenched her fists as the realization hit her. She recalled what Mujang and Ran had told her. She recalled the ominous warnings and their claim that she would have to leave this place.

Mago opened her mouth. Unlike her tone when she arrived, her voice was now like a crash of thunder within the dark clouds.
“Shut your mouths.”

The boiling frenzy finally came to a halt. Mago turned her eyes and gazed at Bari as she lay crumpled on the floor. Her red lips went up into a smile.
“I know very well what it means when the one with the power of Hwan appears during the period of extinction known as Gwe. If the heavenly realm collapses, we will become extinct, and now that the yaksu from Mount Dongdae has run dry, we will not be able to reincarnate and return to this world.”

Bari froze and stared at Mago. She didn’t know what she was saying. What was Mago saying right now? She remembered Doah telling her about the cycle of creation and how the world went through this cycle just as the humans did, but she did not know anything about the power of Hwan.
“The Hwan that will save the lives of the gods. It is quite surprising that it is that human girl’s child.”

Mago’s navy blue eyes turned red. It was as if all the air had been sucked out of the banquet hall. Everything seemed to burn hot and sharp. Meanwhile, all the gods flinched and took a step back. However, Banya was the exception. He continued to grit his teeth and shout out to Mago.
“Everyone is going extinct. It does not make sense that the Mother Goddess wants to be the sole person who reincarnates. I cannot let this go. The child of Hwan also belongs to us!”

Despite Mago’s efforts, the banquet hall grew into a frenzy once again. Banya stretched out his hand and moved to grab Bari’s head. The other gods moved as well. They swarmed to the center of the banquet hall and ran towards her. Bari screamed and hunched over. But then… A gigantic thunderbolt crashed into the banquet hall.
The sparkling light and the deafening roar caused everyone to shield their eyes with their sleeves as they cried out. The walls shook and the jasper floors splintered. No one knew what was going on. Had a thunderbolt come down from the sky?

Bari barely managed to raise her head and look up. She wondered if Mago had made a move to save her. However, the person in front of her was Sir Mujang wearing pitch black armor. With Bari at his back, he was holding a deep blue sword in his hand.
Why was he standing here? Didn’t they say that a criminal was not allowed to stand in the presence of the Heavenly Emperor?

No one answered Bari’s sharp cry. She raised her head and looked at Mago. However, the goddess merely looked back at her with indifferent eyes. As always, no one could tell what she was thinking. Her aloof and beautiful expression made Bari feel as if they were in completely separate worlds. These gods never knew what it meant to be human. Even if she died, they would never understand.
Bari shook in fear and tightened her arms around her belly. The child remained still as if it were holding its breath. Death was right in front of her nose. If they truly wanted her child, there was no way she’d make it out alive. Even if she had to die to do it, Bari wanted to save her child.

Countless heavenly soldiers appeared in the sky and floated silently as they watched, waiting for orders. Their sharp arrows were pointed at Mujang.

Mujang kept his mouth shut for a moment. Bari held her breath as she gazed at his back. How did the yaksu on Mount Dongdae run dry? The gods also stopped crying out and silently stared at him. Eating the child with the power of Hwan did not solve their problems. It was merely a temporary solution. If the yaksu on Mount Dongdae had not disappeared, they would not be creating this ruckus in the first place.

The Heavenly Emperor growled in disbelief. Mujang lowered his hand and turned to look at the Heavenly Emperor. He spoke in a clear voice.
“When it is time for the universe to collapse and dissipate, the very first thing that happens is the disappearance of the yaksu. However, it is merely a symptom, not a sign of the times. This is written in the records of the cause of the SeongJuGweGong. The reason why the yaksu disappears and the universe goes extinct is because the single realm out of the ten realms tasked with being the most upright of them all rots from corruption and sin! It means that the heavenly gods who have lost all sense of justice and benevolence are the number one cause of the yaksu’s disappearance!”

They were certain that Mujang had lost his mind after having been shut up in the darkness these past 2,800 years. He had already been charged and sentenced, but now he was asking for proof!

Suddenly, a cold voice spoke up from above the Heavenly Emperor’s head. Everyone looked up. Mago sat in her chair and looked down at all of them.
“There is a lot of talk regarding that trial. How could a young girl have opened the bolt to the gate of heaven almost three-thousand years ago? Why did she have to go through all that in order to slip out of the heavenly realm? Why did every heavenly god unanimously testify on her whereabouts?”

A silence settled in the room. It was the silence of those who had hidden the truth through rotten and despicable means.

“The heavenly gods are charged with being upright and dignified. They must be righteous, and none should shed an aggrieved tear. That is the duty of a heavenly god. Heavenly Emperor, are you confident in this? O heavenly gods, what about you? Are you certain that not a single mistake was made in Muyi’s trial?

“If you have committed a wrong, it is only a certainty that the yaksu will dry out and the ten realms of the universe will collapse. Heavenly Emperor, open the okgyeong.”
Silence settled over them once again. No one moved. The Heavenly Emperor silently stared at Mago. He raised his hand and did not open the okgyeong. The Heavenly Emperor’s okgyeong did not alter anything and clearly showed the harsh truth. Within it, would they see that it was truly Muyi who had opened the gate to the heavens?

“…Grab the child of Hwan. The delicacy of this year’s Jinoguije will be that girl.”
The Heavenly Emperor’s voice rang in the banquet hall once again. However, the holy aura of his voice was now gone. It stumbled and sounded strange. It was filled with a sin that should not have been there. He continued to stare at Mago, but his eyes gleamed like that of a beast. Mago silently gazed back into his eyes.

With a bright smile, he stood in front of Bari and Mujang.
“Didn’t the yaksu disappear because of your own actions as well as the actions of these noble heavenly gods?”

“Yeomra!”
“Open the okgyeong. If Mujang and the Mother Goddess’s argument is true, doesn’t it mean that the heavenly gods are responsible for the destruction of the other realms?”

“Yeomra, do you have a death wish?”
“Of course I don’t wish to die. I merely want to know the truth.”

Suddenly, the banquet hall was filled with a thirst for blood. The other nine regents of the underworld stood behind Yeomra as they stared at the Heavenly Emperor. The gods of the underworld and the gods of the heavens were the two pillars holding up the afterlife. Both the gods of heaven and hell were tasked with being righteous. No matter how much the lines between good and evil, joy and pain were blurred, if a crime was committed, the cornerstone law of the underworld was that the criminal would have to be punished. If that collapsed, their purpose disappeared.
“Kill Yeomra.”

“In the end, you missed your last chance.”
