Following these lines mentioned in chapter 11:
“… Day of Sinchuk. The sun god, Ilcheon, drops a divine orb upon the earth. The dog that guarded empress Ilcheon’s side howled so loudly, it seemed the world would end. At this time, from within the fire where the orb fell, the daughter of the Baek family’s lord, who was burned alive, Dohwa, was resurrected.l […] She showed the power of immortality to humans and brought chaos to the world, therefore all records are to be expunged.”
1. Empress Ilcheon, Sun God’s empress dropped a divine orb that resurrected Doha. This led to Dowha ultimately being the reason why white haired ML’s entire clan was wiped
2. Since ML was the illegitimate son of the heavenly emperor and also the sole survivor of the white tiger clan, the empress took him as her son to raise as her successor.
3. After becoming a god, one thing ML was after was nurturing the orb in order resurrection his clan (and I think something also happened to his adoptive mom since the black wolf (pretend priest) also wants it to happen so they’re essentially helping each other out
4. Dowha met black haired ML shortly after she was resurrected (we see burn scars on her face on their scene as kids) and was in love with him. Got his ass killed or whatever. I’m guessing that them being together might either disrupt the whole growing orb aspect of things, or white haired ML was just exacting punishment. Or there was a war. Who knows; he looked like a warrior.
5. Most likely in Dowha’s next reincarnation, she was with the white haired ML. I wonder why she apologized and what she’s atoning for and why she asked him to forgive him, because ultimately, the reason why the current version of her is suffering, is because she’s atoning.
Love the lore so far, but one thing I’m wondering is why bother taking Dowha’s memories before her latest reincarnation? Like sure, she wasn’t in love with him (or so he believed; I’m not too sure about that), so he couldn’t grow the orb that will allow him to to revive his dead clan, but if revenge is also what he seeks, Dowha should suffer while being aware of why exactly she suffers. Otherwise she’s just a helpless child/girl just going through it without any grasp as to why… Also I lowkey wish Goyo stayed small like a son to her. I was wondering why he was doing all that foreplay to a corpse until I realized white tiger was reviving her so she was more in an in-between state lol.
Also, the judgement scene of chapter 15 was impeccable, until the one who was thankful for dying ruined it I guess. It felt very outer worldly and it made me wish the story was in their old realm rather than in the humans’.
My best guess so far is as follows: divine beast (white haired ML) clan’s got annihilated because of the FL’s first reincarnation. Divine beast became a god or a god’s successor and part of his revenge is for the FL whom he loved in a past life, to just suffer in all her reincarnations… hence why our FL is. So the dream she has is that of their past selves, rather than future selves. I wonder if she knew her asking for forgiveness would mean all her future selves would suffer because she killed his entire clan.
This is so interesting. And white haired ML is so hot, wow. Also his adoptive mother, the red head sun god is also gorgeous.
I’m actually amused by how all Lucrezia’s scheming and need to expose Adelaide is what will push Adelaide and Cesar together, I’m looking forward to her having a good look at the fruits of her labor.
Seriously loving how the MC looked in his latest level-up. Anyone knows what chapter of the novel this is in? I’m too curious about what comes next to wait…
Things happen a bit differently in the novel, but you'll probably want to start around chapter 172.
Where do you read it? The WebNovel app I’m using only has it up to 159
Also, if you don’t mind letting me know, what are the major differences between webtoon and novel?
Lemme see...
Andrias is initially trapped in an enclosed space where time moves faster than outside (iirc 4 years pass for him, but only a few hours outside). The "walls" are impervious to attack, but there's the mark of a single sword slash and some ancient elven text left behind as evidence that someone had managed to escape before. Which... does Andrias no good b/c he's not skilled enough to be able to extrapolate the original technique from the mark alone.
He gets a message of possible evolution at a 30% success rate and goes for it. It fails; he gets a penalty of having to do something like 1,000 vertical and 1,000 horizontal slashes while in excrutiating pain. Timur and Nickel protect him from the greed spawn that start appearing. When he finishes the slashes, the pain vanishes. Fighting the spawn increases his success rate (like XP in a game). Andrias tries again at 75%. Another fail. Penalty, take 2! This time, he decides to try again at 100%. Success! He slashes his way out and off we go.
Still inside the tree, there's the scene confronting accomplice 2 (Sayle?), and Andrias says he wants to check if the elf is carrying proof of being a traitor. Accomplice 2 is all smug like sure, go ahead, aaaand Andrias beheads him. Fugen gets angry & prepares to attack, the roots get in his way, and one leads Andrias to the core/heart of the tree. Apparently the tree's immune system trapped him b/c of Original Sin, so Andrias gets an apology + gift and rides a giant root to the surface, carrying accomplice 2's dead body.
He tries to convince the angry elves that he's really acting at the tree's behest by showing them the world tree fruit the core had given him, but Fugen attacks, demanding Andrias hand it over. Blah blah sacred to the elves, blah blah unworthy human, etc. After the battle, Maximin shows up. As compensation, he basically demands Fugen chop off an arm. AND HE ACTUALLY DOES. With everything settled, Tapio's blessing happens.
I read it mtl on booktoki:

My favorite is still the delinquent boy, but all three MLs have so much potential, I wish there were two more female leads to avoid any lasting heartbreak… oh well. Super curious to know who she ends up with. So far I don’t think I’d be mad at either three of her choices. I’m glad the senior spoke to the teacher, though. I wonder if they admitted her back in because he’s a good student or because he had a really good argument to sway them… or maybe he has ties to someone important enough for them to listen.
lol am I the only one who came to the conclusion that the boy she loved in high school, whom she believed died, is in fact the director? He gives me the feeling that he might even think she betrayed him by moving in with his friend.
Thought it was just me, glad to see others are thinking that it also looks as though she was trying to mill herself and her kids. Probably with that cake.
How do yall know it’s AI?
There are small inconsistencies between the way characters are drawn per panel. I was specifically looking at the eyebrows of the guy and they changed everytime they were shown and it wasn't just bc of expression.
Thickness, extra details, etc. A real artist would have stuck to a consistent eyebrow shape.
lol yall mad at the MC but he’s funny to me. He's so clueless about it his own feelings, I wonder why he even thinks he stopped sleeping around after ML ghosted him. He literally needs someone to hold him by the hand and show him exactly what he’s feeling and why. And him telling ML being obsessed about is pathetic was the funniest shxt he said yet.
I really love their scenes with the kids, too.
