Chapter 71 - Chapter 72: Story continues

The audience watched Little Mortal leave the capital silently.

He took out the paper with the list of conditions and mumbled to himself,

"I should go find strong experts to join my special force."

Then he rubbed his chin,

"I saw a group of them inside the forbidden jungle.

They were sealed there due to the world's condition.

This shortage of spiritual energy forced the manager to keep them there, and that's a good opportunity for me."

And so, he rode a black horse and left.

Everyone in the capital recognized the horse and shivered unconsciously while a name appeared in their mind!

The great warrior!

The man whom everyone and everything respected!

Upon his arrival, even buildings made way for him!

It was then that they understood: this mortal was still far weaker than the one they had seen in the capital that day.

The scene changed again.

Little Mortal arrived at the forbidden jungle.

He stumbled upon the white tiger once again!

The audience wondered how he was going to defeat this undefeated opponent!

But he actually became friends with the tiger and invited him to become a special forces member!

And the tiger actually accepted!

The audience nodded to themselves.

Indeed, if you can't beat someone, join them, or ask them to join you!

The strength of your allies is your strength, too, in the end.

The journey through the forbidden jungle, a place that many couldn't even see in their lifetime, continued, with him going anywhere he wanted, as if strolling through the park.

The audience thought that was only natural.

That place was forbidden for them, but for the great warrior, it wasn't!

Even now, in these scenes, the trees were moving to both sides for him to show their respect!

What could even make trees show you respect?

No one knew!

At this moment, the great warrior reached a big mountain.

But to everyone's surprise, the whole mountain suddenly disappeared!

A kind lady with brown hair and in a brown robe appeared in its place.

From the conversation between the two, the audience discovered who she is.

The legendary Wise turtle!

The ancient creature that no one ever saw, and only heard about, was now on display!

She was going to be a member of his team, too?

Impossible!

But when the wise turtle heard about the guardian position, she agreed after saying,

"The world needs you.

How can I, the first intelligent being of it, only stand and watch?

Fellow Daoist mortal, I can't wait for the day to see you as our guardian!"

The crowd was surprised!

The world needs him?

And it was only now that those who didn't know who this guardian was felt something didn't make sense.

This future guardian was still so short?

The Wise Turtle was the first person shown completely after the 40-year journey.

Was she so tall, or was he still short?

Either way, they just ignored the thoughts, because with him already being the guardian, they were already at the max level of good impression towards him.

So they just accepted him as a shorty.

The guardian's journey through the forbidden jungle, with the trees showing respect and making way for him, continued.

He finally found the restricted area with the experts inside.

In no time, he became friends with them.

The older audience recognized some of these experts at a glance.

Only the third sister wasn't shown between them.

Little Mortal didn't let her be in his guardian movie!

After he recruited all the experts and was going to leave, he asked them if they could help him with the 'follower' condition,

And the former sword god gave him a recommendation letter to go and join the sword sect, and the charm goddess gave him a small statue that he could show to her disciple if needed.

After that, he was going to leave,

But before that, he needed a Daoist name.

The group of experts, after discussion, could only agree on one name!

Sect master!

He was the strongest, and the sect master was the strongest member in each sect.

So if his Daoist name was sect master, without being from any sect, it means he was naturally stronger than everyone else.

The little sect master bid his farewell to the group of experts and finally left.

On his way to the sword sect, he bumped into a 'damsel in distress', the daughter of the two sect masters that most people knew, Rose.

He saved her, invited a judge, started a trial on the spot for the kidnappers, and let the audience become familiar with Judge Bredd and the magical prison cage!

There was a short conversation between him and a secret agent named 'Mortyh Meven' too, but no one saw who this agent was.

In the end, he was a 'secret' agent, so how could others see him?

After that, he disappeared into the horizon after recruiting his new assistant to the team.

The scene changed again.

He reached the sect, saw the man flying in the sky, and, as if he liked the style of his robe, he asked for a similar robe like that from his backpack.

The magical backpack showed its skill.

The audience could only laugh when they saw his speechless face in the oversized robe!

But they furrowed their brows and thought to themselves,

'Isn't that black robe the same as those special members from the demoness sect?

Wasn't he supposed to go and join the sword sect?

So, why is he...'

Then they saw the big statue of the sword god placed at the front gate of the demoness sect with the address in his hand, and didn't know what to think anymore!

The future guardian is at the wrong address!

And while the audience waited to see which elder or disciple would tell him about it, he joined the sect, received his token, engraved his Daoist name on it himself, and even went to gather followers in the outer sect city.

All of it was due to numerous misunderstandings that occurred along the way, stemming from his robe and the letter that was mistaken for the current sword god's recommendation letter.

Even the sect master, Snow goddess, was in seclusion at that time, and he couldn't go straight to her with the letter!

The audience didn't know if this funny situation could end well because he was in a demonic sect and was someone who upheld justice everywhere he went with the Emperor, or not.

And sure enough, on his first day, he went to the inn with other newcomers to find followers, but ended up beating black robe cultivators left and right!

Snow goddess and her elders were speechless when they saw this part of the journey!

The two black robes he beat with that 'Moryuken' technique were the old trash and his son!

The little sect master then grew a mustache using a secret technique, so people wouldn't think he was a child.

Then Rose showed up, whom everyone already saw in the 'damsel in distress' scene, to provide help, but due to some unknown reasons, she didn't mention anything about her mother or father, and just tried her best to gather followers for her boss.

To recruit followers, Little Mortal promised everyone in the city to awaken their spirit roots in a week if they joined him as followers, and the whole city accepted the deal without hesitation!

Especially with Rose and Luna backing him up and the title of sect master's disciple.

The audience, though, felt it's an impossible task to awaken the spiritual roots of 10 thousand people in a week with the current condition of the world and lack of spiritual energy!

Little Mortal then left and emptied lots of books and some resources out of the sect library and sect warehouse!

Snow goddess and the elders gritted their teeth!

Another mystery was solved!

It was him again!

Not that old trash!

Everyone saw the 'sect master' token stuck to the library token and then the storehouse token!

And as if he forgot, he just left after taking whatever he was looking for!

The audience was now anxious in his place!

'What if the sect finds out?

That would be an earth-shattering fight between them and the great warrior!'

The scene changed again,

Little sect master came back to the empty city,

Went to the inn, beat up another group of black robes with a secret technique called a 720-degree 2x flying spin kick in a cool way, and the identity of the hidden expert, Luna, was revealed to some extent.

After that, he found some evidence from these black robes and went on the cleanup mission to take care of the human trafficking organization that they had in the city!

A comprehensive cleanup mission was conducted afterward in the secret hideout of the black robes.

It was then that Shadow Scarlet found out how she had lost contact with the group of black robes and their leader, the old trash, in just one day!

They were supposed to sacrifice the outer sect city for the old trash to break through and then join the other sect masters to help them sacrifice other cities with his help.

But it seems the group of black robes was taken care of, accidentally, by this little senior!

The audience didn't know whether to feel good about him upholding justice or be worried about him causing trouble everywhere in the sect.

He then went to the gathering place, met his old rival, Lady Butterfly, and then started a trial for the criminals on the spot!

After the court, he summoned the Hell gate!

Even watching it made everyone covered in sweat!

He literally summoned the gate of hell in his Judge Bredd form and sent the group of black robes in!

He even beat up the gatekeeper because of his disrespectful act of bringing his hand out and making the air hot for the elderly!

Snow goddess once again was shocked!

She remembered when she asked him where the old trash was in their first meeting, and he said 'Hell!

'So he didn't lie?

Is there really a Hell out there?'

The scene changed again; the little sect master took everyone's blood, and the research team started their work.

Then, to everyone's shock, he was attacked!

To be exact, he was ambushed!

His treasures, with Lady Butterfly as the lead, attacked him all at once!

In the end, Lady Butterfly cut his neck!

The audience, who were dumbfounded by the sudden change, were as shocked as Little Mortal, who received another kick from Lady Butterfly and was sent flying to the other side of the inn in disbelief!

Blood splashed everywhere...

On that day, Little Mortal died while covered in his own blood, tragically...

The scene ended with the close-up view of his bloody hand, Rose, who was crying like a river in the background, and a dark figure of a woman that came out of Lady Butterfly's shadow and ran from the window!

Everyone knew that figure was the mastermind behind all of this and was probably in control of Lady Butterfly's body for this assassination attempt!

But while everyone was shocked and confused, before the scene ended, the tip of Guardian Mortal's finger moved a little!

He was still alive!

The scene changed again.

At the top of a mountain,

Little Mortal was stroking his mustache while mumbling to himself,

"The guardian killers are already here...

I faked my death to buy some time ...

I hope it's enough!

The price for their first assault was Lady Butterfly.

Who became so depressed and just retired completely..."

The audience felt at ease when they saw him alive!

'So there is a group of guardian killers out there?

And he faked his death to buy time?

That's smart!'

However, it was unfortunate that Lady Butterfly had been retired due to depression...

The scene changed; Little Mortal received the news from his research team that there was a missing ingredient.

A new personality appeared.

Mr. Morleone!

The audience held their breath from the moment he came out of the backpack!

Why did this little gentleman seem calm but scary at the same time?

Mr. Morleone went to Ronnie, obtained the power grass from him, and instructed him to meet the sect master so that he could help him break through his bottleneck in return for the power grass he had given him.

And then he came back to the inn and delivered the grass!

But before sleeping, he even went to an apocalyptic-looking world, leisurely, through another overpowered treasure called the space mirror, and brought a big silver sphere back with him!

When he finally slept and the scene changed, the crowd could finally breathe...

'Who was this guy?

Was it the sect master, or wasn't it?

Why does he seem to be stronger?

And how is there so many treasures with all kinds of unique abilities from the start of his journey?

Is he some rich young master?'

With the last ingredient delivered, the magical 'research team' finished the job.

But before he starts the 'second hole in the butt' project, a minor problem happened.

A rude disciple came, got beaten up by expert Luna, who finally showed her hidden brilliance, and Little Mortal, who threw him away.

Elder Leta finally saw how her disciple was thrown to her...

After that, Ronnie showed up for the promise that Mr. Morleone gave him about his breakthrough, and little Mortal kicked him and the silver ball into the forbidden jungle!

Another unanswered question was answered for Snow Goddess and her sect elders!

Again, it was him!

The missing Ronnie was kicked away by him!

Just because he went to the sky, the people in the city thought he went straight to Heaven!

The scene changed again.

The chaos in the city, with followers receiving a 'second hole' in their butt, was displayed.

Another unanswered question was answered for Snow goddess, elders, and disciples of the demoness sect!

This little sect master had a lot of fun in their sect, didn't he...?

Next,

The followers' training began.

Everyone saw how he turned thousands of weak and depressed people into a group of healthy and strong people with the help of Coach Mambod and spirit creatine that the research team made!

They all turned muscular!

Even the children!

And he even claimed that it took them 100 years of hard training!

Why were the children still so small, and didn't grow during this period of time?

No one knew...

And finally, the final spirit root awakening episode, in which Ronnie joined them so he could break through alongside them!

After seeing Ronnie's breakthrough and what he turned into, the audience forgot the followers' muscular bodies and the 100-year problem of the story!

What was this guy? Is he the definition of muscle?

He was already a monster the first time they saw him, but with Mr. Morleone around, it didn't affect them much.

And the second time, he was kicked away like a ball before they could have a good look, but now...

'Was he even the same species as them? A human?'

The scene changed again.

Little Mortal was inside the inn and heard the bell ring, finding out his 'teacher' was out of seclusion.

The crowd nervously watched to see how things were going to end between the two sides!

But unexpectedly, Little Mortal went there after shaving his mustache, and because of his small appearance, they thought he was a child...

After a series of misunderstandings, he even turned the tables with a small statue that Charmed Goddess, the master of the Supreme Elder, gave him before, and he became the snow goddess's disciple instead!

Then it was the time to be tested, and he himself suggested to the Dnow goddess, who was looking for the black robe elder, missing Ronnie, and the two tokens at that moment,

To go on a 1000-year journey and find them!

The audience was at a loss for words!

'1000 years for the things in your pocket?'

And after he left, he actually acted as if it was 1000 years later, and came back with one missing hand and a long beard as if 1000 years had really passed,

With him enduring hardship after hardship!

At first, he couldn't even remember them anymore after his return!

The audience was at a loss for words once again!

'You lost a hand to take out those things from your pocket?

You went outside the door for a moment and forgot about everyone?'

No one knew that the crystal, which was responsible for making the 'movie',

wasn't supposed to add these parts, but when it saw Little mortal was sending it away on a dangerous mission, it changed the 'territory edition' with another one, to get back at him for all the bullying he did to it!

Little Mortal permitted it to freely make changes in the territory edition if it wanted to, but it was prohibited from making any changes in the mainland edition.

So, while it couldn't defy his order, it could still use it.

And it was lucky that Little Mortal was sleeping soundly now.

Or maybe Little Mortal was lucky that the crystal didn't know he might be asleep at the time of playing his guardian journey to the whole planet,

Or it might have added other things too!

So, the Crystal only added enough to at most make him angry and nothing more.

Back to the journey of the guardian.

Little mortal with the misunderstanding about the sword god's death came back.

It was now that all the people involved understood how the misunderstanding was made.

It was the Snow goddess who couldn't admit that the Sword god was her husband at that time, took away the statue of her own husband, and buried his sect under the snow...

So she just ignored the misunderstanding and let it be.

But Little Mortal brought the news back to Rose, and she cried like a river, which the Crystal later enhanced with special effects to convey her sadness.

Later that night, the city's higher-ups held a funeral for Sword god with Little Mortal to show their respect for the dead father!

After that, the daily life of the little sect master and training his followers were displayed.

The followers didn't get stronger day by day, but they got stronger a couple of times per day!

What kind of speed was this?

The world was out of spiritual energy,

people couldn't even awaken their spirit root,

But they were breaking through the limits of one realm after another!

They even had the ability, after getting the second hole in the butt, to absorb solar power!

'Is that the 'impact' that everyone would remember the Guardian for?

If every human being could become like this,

It was indeed revolutionary!'

One day,

Finally, Little Mortal was satisfied with the strength of his followers.

He took out the paper with conditions on it and added a 'tick' in front of another condition.

[ 1. To be the strongest on the planet, you are in ✔

2. Stop the world invasion at least once

3. Have lots of strong followers ✔

4. Have a special force team for a bet with the other worlds✔

5. Have enough knowledge about the outside world and what you need to deal with after becoming the planet guardian ✔

6. Make a positive impact on the world that everyone remembers you for a long time ✔]

By now, everyone had seen the whole process of him completing different conditions, and the only thing left was the condition to stop the world invasion.

He could only wait for this one to happen one day.

How does that even work?

Nobody knew.

But he suddenly received two letters,

One from a familiar name.

Agent Morty Meven!

[ - The guardian killers can't deal with you anymore.

They have changed their target to the capital and the Empress.

Twelve sect masters have been put to the job by 'the Shadow'.

The mastermind is still hidden.

You have 10 hours before they take her hostage and lure you into their trap. ]

This name was heard before when he was in the process of saving Rose, and he seems to be a secret member working for him undercover, whom no one has ever seen!

Now, he sent a letter about the conspiracy that was happening.

And the second letter was from an unfamiliar source,

[ The Emperor has betrayed you,

He gathered the 12 sect masters to ruin your plan and stop you from becoming the guardian.]

The audience knew this was probably from those people in 'the shadow', trying to destroy the relationship between the two brothers!

But how could they fool him when Agent Morty Meven just sent him a letter?

But to their surprise, Guardian Mortal said in disbelief,

"The Emperor... has betrayed me!"

The audience was stunned!

'He believed the fake letter?'

Then he muttered to himself while leaving,

"Your Majesty... This subject watched you grow up...

We fought alongside each other on so many battlefields...

You were someone whom I trusted with my life... I even found a good girl for you to marry..."

The audience was speechless,

What is happening?

Then he slowly raised his head, with determined eyes,

looked outside, towards the capital, while saying,

"For the sake of our old friendship, I give you one last chance."

Then, while walking towards the inn door, he shook his head and said,

"I hope I'm wrong... I hope I'm wrong."

And left!

Not long after,

A figure came out of the shadows,

And said while laughing in a mocking tone,

"We fooled him, he took the bait!

Proceed with the plan."

And the figure disappeared.

Luna came out of another shadow after the figure left and muttered,

"The sect master was indeed right.

We were being watched..."

The audience was shocked!

So, at some point, the force in the shadows found out about him faking his death, and they were spying on him again!

But he already knew, like last time, but pretended he didn't know, not to make them suspect anything, and buy time for himself to get to the capital and save his sister-in-law.

How many steps ahead of them is he?

He even left while an epic music was playing!

The scene changed.

A dignified man in a silver robe with a crown on his head appeared.

Most humans watching knew who the man was.

The current Emperor, whom they all knew and worshipped.

At this moment, he was reading a message that was sent to him to inform him about the rebellion of the 12 sects and their plan to take over the empire.

He muttered to himself,

"I need big brother to join me now, we can't wait for the rebellion to start...

But he won't listen to anybody except me,

So I should go there personally.

The last time he sent me a letter, he said his followers would be ready soon, so it should be a good time now."

Then he stood up and left secretly!

Or he thought it was secretly.

Because, in the scene, after he left, a man in a black robe emerged from the shadows.

The audience gasped!

They all guessed it!

The guardian killers were also on the move here, and they successfully tricked the Emperor into leaving the capital with this fake letter.

The Empress was in danger now!

The scene changed again.

Little Mortal arrived at the capital,

Had a brief meeting with his nephew, auntie, and uncle,

And the assassin who came out of nowhere and pretended to be sent by the Emperor got beaten up anyway, and he left while still pretending to be here for the Emperor's head!

A couple of hours after the Emperor left,

A group of 12 people suddenly appeared in the sky above the capital and landed in the Emperor's garden!

But before the audience got stressed, a little boy walked in.

At least, in the eyes of the 12 sect masters, he was a little boy, but the audience already knew him with his signature mustache!

The great warrior had already arrived!

The scene changed again.

The Emperor arrived at the demoness sect and descended there while delivering his line that the little sect master found in his notebook for him!

"Brother!

Storm clouds are gathering.

Our borders are beset by evil.

Both mundane and immortal.

How long can we withstand this onslaught?!

Do you remember your promise?

We either die alone or survive together!

This is the moment!

Your choices will decide the fate of this world!

And all that inhabit it! Make the right one!"

And the followers who suddenly flew over from the outer sect city and kneeled before him.

Rose then informed the Emperor about the sect master's departure, and he discovered that he had been deceived.

So he hurried back while his followers followed him!

The scene changed back to the capital.

Little Mortal walked to where the 12 sect masters were.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of killing intent as if he couldn't see anything but blood!

He looked at the crowd and suddenly shouted,

"You lowly bandits!

Now you even dare to try to kidnap my sister-in-law?

The Empress of the human empire?

Outrageous!"

Then he did some clumsy hand seals and shouted,

"Divine technique - Judgment by Age."

And the scene of him beating up the sect masters while they were in despair, played out!

What did he do to them?

This was the second time the audience had heard the name of this technique.

The first time he used it to catch the members of the human trafficking organization, but no one saw how it worked.

This time, they saw it, and it left them stunned!

'What happened to these high and mighty sect masters?'

But before they saw the fight ending and saw the fate of the sect masters,

The scene changed again.

The Emperor arrived at this moment from a secret passage, and when he saw the Empress was fine, he sighed in relief!

Little Mortal, at this moment, came back in and spat out a mouthful of blood to show how hard the unfair and bloody fight outside was for him!

The audience was speechless!

'That was a completely one-sided fight!

That may be the price he pays for using that technique.

What happened to the sect masters anyway?

There was no one behind him when he opened the door, so did they run away?'

But before they thought everything was fine, a woman in a black cloak appeared!

It didn't take long for her identity to be revealed.

She was one of the core members of the Guardian Killers group.

But when she was going to make a move against the Emperor, the Empress took action!

The power of 'the mother's territory' was on display for everyone to see!

'She actually took her down in one move!?

Did she even need to be saved?'

After that,

A conversation took place between them and the villainess, which revealed that she was trying to use the 12 sect masters and a sacrificial technique that it turns out the old trash from the demoness sect was supposed to give them, and sacrifice the people from different cities to help the 12 sect masters break through.

She would then attempt to sacrifice the 12 sect masters to herself in order to break through and become the strongest in the world.

Everyone understood now,

This way, Guardian Mortal, who thought he was the strongest, in reality wouldn't be, and when trying to become the guardian, he couldn't!

The Emperor, worried that such a thing might happen again, asked Guardian Mortal to find a way to protect his people while they were away.

And so the scene of him shaving his mustache, going to another world, and 'borrowing' a staff and some other treasures from a dragon 'friend' played out...

Just the sheer size of the dragon made them feel dizzy...

The power level in the story was chaotic!

Nobody could tell how strong the random characters or even the main characters were.

And when they saw the borrowed treasures from his 'friend',

No one cared about the staff,

Because what caught their eyes was the shiny stones!

'So that was how the horse changed to that 'color-spitting' creature that left everyone in awe!'

After a bit of rest, Little Mortal, who had grown back his mustache, took out the map and told them about his plan to clean up the terrorists!

And the Emperor, who approved of the plan and gathered the army at the gate for him to make his speech, gave them permission for the world cleansing!

Everything in this scene was the same as the one the people in the capital saw live; the only difference was the followers who were added to the scene.

In this scene, the speech, everyone's support for the world cleansing, the Emperor's permission, and the crying citizens who bid farewell to their loved ones all played out.

However, there were also an additional 10,000 followers.

Little Mortal finally left with the army and his followers to clean the filth from the world.

The Emperor, now at ease with the Empress and the staff protecting the people, left with them to act as backup in case of any emergency situation.

From here on out, there was no information that the audience knew about, because the world cleansing ended up too fast on that day, and everyone came back home, alive, without a single scratch on them, not long after!

Now they were eager to see what really happened that day after the army left!
