Chapter 360: May You Go to a Good Place
[Jewel of the Earth]→ If the Jewel of the Earth absorbs enough power of the earth, the soul of the god sealed within the jewel will be released.
→ Once unsealed, the god will repay the favor.
→ Creator: Fenrir, the god hunting wolf and 1st Seat of Apostle of Destruction
→ Grade: Immeasurable
“Seems like the 1st Seat of Apostle of Destruction really is powerful…”
Sejun, having learned how the Jewel of the Earth was made, said,
‘To eat a god’s body and seal its soul… I hope I never encounter it, but if I do, I’ll run without looking back.’
Unaware that this 1st Seat of Apostle of Destruction was now snoring away sprawled out on his own bed, Sejun read on.“The god repays the favor once its seal is broken?”
That sounds good. A god that repays favors. He was really looking forward to the reward.
As expected of Vice Chairman Theo. Bringing a jewel sealed with a favor-repaying god.
“Vice Chairman Theo, well done! Your exclusive right to my knee has been extended for another week!”
“Puhuhut. Puhuhut. Puhuhut.”
At Sejun’s words, Theo couldn’t hold back his laughter and just kept laughing.
Meanwhile, Sejun, who had attached Theo to his leg, went outside and buried the Jewel of the Earth halfway into the ground.
Since it needed to absorb the power of the earth, burying it seemed to make sense.
After waiting for about 10 minutes,
[Jewel of the Earth – 5% Unsealing in Progress]Sejun’s guess was right; the seal began to break. It was easier to unlock the god’s seal than he had thought.
“That was quick. Aileen, please purify this core fragment too.”
[The Tower’s Administrator says you can leave it to her.]
Sejun, rising from his spot, asked Aileen to purify a fragment of Fenrir’s core contain 2% of its power.
Just then,
“Ah. The Medicinal mugwort.”
Heading back to the kitchen, Sejun remembered the medicinal mugwort inside the Golden Box of Abundance.
He needed to take out the mugwort and put in the Transcendence Black Beans.
So he opened the void storage and went inside,
Click.
He opened the Golden Box of Abundance, took out five pieces of medicinal mugwort, put in the Transcendence Black Beans, and closed it again.
Having secured four more pieces of medicinal mugwort in just one day, Sejun boldly put one into his mouth.
And,
“…!!!”
He regretted it. This bitterness wasn’t something one could get used to like coffee. He had underestimated it.
[You have consumed medicinal mugwort.][All stats increase by 20.]
[Your lifespan increases by 3 months.]
[You have consumed a bitter medicine.]
[Talent: A Medicine That’s Bitter is Good for Stamina is activated.]
[Stamina increases by 9.]
Messages appeared before Sejun’s blurry vision.
‘9?!’
An unprecedented level of bitterness. This was another level of bitterness.
From now on, mugwort before bed…
Thud.
Sejun fainted from the intense bitterness.
“Chairman Park, did you faint again, meow?”
Theo, grabbing Sejun’s arm, dragged him to a sunny spot and laid him down,
Squish. Squish.
He began massaging Sejun’s face.
As Theo was massaging Sejun,
Kking?! Kking!
‘What?! I can’t feel my core energy suddenly!’
Fenrir, sensing his core fragment’s energy, came out and looked around.
Then,
Kking!
‘There’s a place open with lots of yummy things!’
Fenrir found the void storage that Theo had left open.
Kihihit. Kking!
‘Hehe. This is fun!’
Fenrir entered the void storage and started his snack tour.
Shortly after,
“Umm…”
“Chairman Park, are you awake, meow?”
Squish. Squish.
As Sejun woke up, Theo asked while massaging his face.
Then,
Ppyak?
[Uncle, are you awake?]
Kueng?
[Dad, are you up?]
“Hyung, are you up?”
“Sejun-nim, are you awake?”
While eating the breakfast prepared by Sejun, Black Rabbit, Cuengi, Ajax, and Veronica asked,
“Yeah, how long did I faint?”
“Not long at all, meow! It hasn’t even been an hour, meow!”
“Really?”
The duration of unconsciousness was shorter than expected.
“What about Blackie?”
“I saw him go into the void storage earlier, meow!”
Theo answered Sejun’s question.
‘He must have gone to eat more dried sweet potato.’
Sejun decided to let Fenrir be.
No matter how greedy he was, three dried sweet potato slices were Fenrir’s limit. There wasn’t going to be any major trouble.
Regaining consciousness, Sejun quickly ate breakfast,
“Transport.”
[23,817 vibrant life mugworts and 21,183 vibrant magical mugworts have arrived.]Sejun had brought in the mugwort harvested by Ophelia, covering the transport costs between the towers.
And then,
“Cuengi, squeeze.”
Kueng!
[Understood!]
He began making mugwort juice with Cuengi.
Meanwhile, Ajax was sent to the White Tower to manage the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes.
While Sejun and Cuengi were making mugwort juice,
[It has been confirmed that Veronica, the Tower Farmer of the Purple Tower, has planted Poisonous Potatoes without permission.]…
..
.
[According to the laws of the Tower, the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun will now have the Purple Tower’s Tower Farmer Veronica as his slave for the next 100 years.]
[Since Veronica, the Tower Farmer of the Purple Tower, is already your slave, the slave period will not be extended.]
A message appeared before Sejun.
“It seems it went well.”
Sejun remarked upon seeing the message.
Veronica had used the land deed of the Purple Tower given by Sejun to return to the Purple Tower and plant the Poisonous Potatoe as directed by Sejun.
Although they had a subordination contract, Veronica had to become a slave within the system for Sejun to be able to send her to the Purple Tower and summon her back to the Black Tower.
Sejun did not want to waste the land of the Purple Tower, which was abundant in toxicity and ideal for growing detoxifying green onions and Poisonous Potatoes.
Moreover, since the administrator of the Purple Tower, Tier, had permitted it, there was no reason to hesitate.
The poison of the Purple Tower was easily dealt with by consuming plenty of detoxifying green onions.
Shortly after,
Kueng!
[All done!]
Sejun and Cuengi had finished making the mugwort juice. Technically, Cuengi did the squeezing while Sejun just clapped and praised him from the side.
But in spirit, they were together.
Anyway… With Cuengi’s strength and Sejun’s encouraging collaboration, 2.3 liters of Vibrant Life Mugwort Juice and 2.1 liters of Vibrant Magical Mugwort Juice were produced.
While making the juice, Cuengi’s proficiency improved, slightly enhancing the medicinal effect of the juice from 50% to 55%.
Kueng!
[Then, Cuengi will check the herbs and go for special training with Uncle Minotaur King!]
After finishing the mugwort juice, Cuengi got up to go check on the herbs in the western forest.
Meanwhile, Black Rabbit had also gone for training with the Minotaur King after breakfast.
“Did you pack the snacks properly?”
Kueng!
[Yes! I filled the snack pouch completely!]
Cuengi showed off his bulging bag full of snacks.
“Good. Have a good trip!”
Sejun saw Cuengi off towards the western forest,
‘I should make the mugwort juice potion.’
He diluted 1L of Vibrant Life Mugwort Juice with water at a 25:1 ratio and transferred it into several small water bottles.
And then,
“Abundance”
[<Power: Abundance!> is applied to the corn.][The next yield of corn will be doubled.]
Sejun used the power on each and every corn stalk in the cornfield.
Normally, he would have run out of vitality quickly, but
Gulp.
[You have consumed water-diluted Mugwort Juice of Life.][1% of vitality is restored.]
Now that there’s mugwort juice potion, Sejun can continuously replenish his vitality as if receiving a blood transfusion.
Thanks to that, he was able to effortlessly use his power on all the crops in the field,
“Abundance”
[<Power: Abundance!> is applied to the corn.][The fertility of the cornfield is doubled.]
Finally, as the yield doubled and the consumed vitality was also doubled, so replenish it he used a quarter of the prepared mugwort juice potion.
Specifically, he used an eighth of it on the crops to double the yield and the remaining eighth to increase the soil fertility.
Sejun’s field already had high fertility, so it required a lot of life force to increase it further.
Of course, it wasn’t all good.
“I’m thirsty again.”
Drinking a lot of water meant frequent trips to the bathroom. But it was a minor inconvenience he was willing to tolerate if it meant doubling the harvest.
After his bathroom break, Sejun checked the Jewel of the Earth buried in the ground.
[Jewel of the Earth – 98% Unsealing in Progress]The seal was almost completely undone.
“Hehehe. What will the god give?”
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, let’s ask for something expensive, meow!”
While Sejun and Theo discussed eagerly,
[The seal on the Jewel of the Earth has been lifted.][The god Peblos, the God of Pebbles sealed within the Jewel of the Earth, is released.]
The soul of the god sealed within the Jewel of the Earth found its freedom.
“Eh? The God of Pebbles?”
“Chairman Park, what are pebbles, meow? Is it something good, meow?”
Theo asked excitedly to Sejun, who had a slightly bewildered expression on his face.
[The God of Pebbles, Peblos, repays the favor to the one who freed him from his seal.]Right. Just because it’s the God of Pebbles doesn’t mean his favor will be measly. It should be fine.
Sejun brainwashed himself with hope as he focused on the message.
However,
[The God of Pebbles, Peblos, repays the favor by paving a 3.3 sq meters path with pebbles.]Peblos, the God of Pebbles, betrayed Sejun’s expectations. Who wants pebbles randomly paved on a path?! If you’re going to pave, pave it all. Just 3.3 sq meters… Just give me the money instead! (TL: Its 1 pyeong which is equal to 3.3 sq meters)
[Having repaid his favor, the God of Pebbles, Peblos, has left.]As if knowing Sejun would be angry, Peblos, the God of Pebbles, left quickly as if running away.

Seed Headquarters Store.
“You’re back?”
While Peblos was examining his body,
“Uh… Peblos? Are you really the God of Pebbles, Peblos?!”
Silas, the God of Fine Sand, who was passing by, shouted when he saw Peblos.
“Ah, Silas, nice to see you.”
Peblos greeted Silas as if they had just met yesterday, despite being sealed away unconscious for a while.
On the other hand,
“Peblos, I’m really glad to see you!”
Silas, who had not seen Peblos for thousands of years, excitedly grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously, expressing his joy.
“Where are the other gods?”
“Ah, What am I thinking. Let’s go. I’ll guide you to the other non-combat gods!”
Silas quickly took Peblos to Leah, the God of Abundance, leader of the non-combat gods.
It’s not like meeting the other combat gods would do any good since they would only increase his worries.
Thus Peblos met with Leah.
“Farmer Park Sejun of the Black Tower freed me from my seal. He is a good farmer who knows how to create fertile land.”
Peblos told Leah and the other non-combat gods how he was unsealed.
“As expected of Sejun…”
“Park Sejun fighting!”
“Park Sejun fighting!”
The non-combat gods chanted “Park Sejun fighting!”
“Park Sejun fighting!”
Peblos also joined the other gods in cheering.
‘By the way, I wonder if the reward is sufficient.’
It was quite unreasonable for me too… Peblos worried whether Sejun would be satisfied with the favor he repaid.
***
“Uh… pebbles…”
As Sejun looked up at the sky with a hollow expression,
“What are these, meow?”
Theo looked at the three colored pebbles, shining with a radiant light, laid across 3.3 sq meters of the path. Their colors were extraordinary. Puhuhut. The pebbles are expensive, meow!
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, the god repaid you richly, meow!”
Intuitively realizing the pebbles on the ground were valuable, Theo called Sejun with an excited voice.
“The God of Pebbles, Peblos… next time we meet, I’ll be the one to seal him… huh? They’re valuable?”
Sejun was grinding his teeth at Peblos who ran away after throwing(?) the pebbles, but upon hearing Theo’s words, he hurriedly checked the pebbles.
[Ruby Gem Stone][Sapphire Gem Stone]
[Emerald Gem Stone]
They weren’t just ordinary pebbles; they were made of gemstone raw materials.
“May you go to a good place, Peblos~nim.”
Sejun smiled brightly as he wished Peblos well.
And then,
[The Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, Park Sejun, has prayed for you.][Your divinity increases by 10.]
Thanks to Sejun praying for him, Peblos’ divinity increased.
