83 Father

By nature, divine beasts were beings praised as the gods of the old Murim, yet they were rather indifferent to human affairs.

No encroachment between the court and the martial world.

The court and the martial world do not interfere in one another's affairs.

Simply put, the imperial court and the martial world do not meddle in one another's affairs, and this unspoken rule that neither side challenges the other is kept as a matter of course.

But the old Murim had one more unwritten rule.

Gods and humans do not interfere in one another's affairs.

People often say that gods do not touch the mortal world and preserve their lofty dignity.

But if you trace the word back to its roots, it actually came from utter indifference.

Divine beasts have no interest in humans.

So whatever they do, it doesn't matter...
