"Alright, everyone,
Get familiar with your roles.
We start the movie in three days.
If there is anything, please let know."
Scholar, who saw an opportunity, signaled the Emperor.
The Emperor received the signal and passed it to the Empress.
The Empress then signaled his son.
Little Fred received the signal, took out a book from his storage ring, and respectfully gave it to Little Mortal.
"Great uncle, is it possible to teach this technique?"
Little Mortal, in his senior mode, patted his head and nodded,
"Sure, why not.
If anyone else wants to learn any-"
Before his sentence even finished,
A mountain of books was placed in front of him!
Little Mortal's mouth, while still open, froze.
He looked at the books speechlessly.
The Goddess of Foresight's birth treasure,
The lantern, which didn't faint like its master,
Seeing this scene, saw an opportunity!
It knew her master after coming to the mainland, and losing her birth treasure to that old Thief, was forced to be as timid as possible.
Her law wasn't suited for fighting, and since she didn't have her birth treasure for most of her life, she couldn't utilize her law efficiently.
She only had a mix of every law that she didn't know what to do with.
The only technique she knew was the avatar of an unknown light goddess, which could fight alongside her.
However, she learned this technique during a fight with a certain guardian.
She learned it when he controlled her body to record the fight scene between 'Fate Experts'.
So the mont it saw these people showing Guardian Mortal these books and asking him to teach them,
It knew it was the best opportunity for its master!
Little Mortal shook his head,
"No need.
I want to try to go there from the mainland.
If it didn't work, I'd co back."
Then he looked at the space mirror,
"Which way is the mainland?"
And the space mirror showed him the direction of the mainland.
Little Mortal nodded and disappeared after taking a step.
Only a sentence was left.
"Tell assistant Rose to gather the guest actors."
....
Mainland.
Sowhere in outer space.
Little Mortal suddenly appeared.
He looked around, and when he saw where he was,
He kicked the space behind him and dived towards the mainland.
After landing on the grassland, he mumbled to himself,
"I was a little off and ended up in outer space..."
Then he looked at the ground,
"Okay, the underworld is down there.
But how far should I go down?
How about I go little by little until I reach there?
It should be warr the closer I get, right?"
And he disappeared again.
A mont later, he appeared in a dark place.
"Not here."
And disappeared.
He kept going 'down' using the dark world until,
"Eh!?
Did I go to a completely wrong address?"
Little Mortal looked around in confusion.
"What a weird place...
Which direction is up, and which is down?
And what are these things?"
Looking 'up', Little Mortal saw a smooth glass-like ceiling with a dark background instead of sky.
Looking 'down', he saw the sa thing.
Another surface, but with a dark red and cloudy background behind the glass-like ground.
So unknown, magical-looking words shone on the glass-like surface on both sides.
Looking more carefully, he could see so cracks here and there on the surface of the ceilings.
"Which one is the floor and which one is the ceiling?
Is the one with the red background the way to the underworld?
And what are these spheres?"
In the space between the two ceilings,
Many spheres, made of an unknown material, were connected to the two surfaces by chains, as if they were hanging from both side.
The exact shining magical words from the ceilings were covering the chains and the spheres connected to them, too.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Little Mortal was currently standing on one of the spheres, which was as big as 30 ters in diater.
When he looked down under his feet, he saw tiny cracks on the sphere he was standing on, and red mist that was leaking out.
"What's this red mist?
And why does the material of this sphere feel familiar?"
He followed the red mist with his eyes,
And saw that it was going towards the glass surface with the dark background, and then entering the small cracks there.
Little Mortal, while rubbing his chin, looked around vigilantly, and then slled the red mist.
"Yes, I can sll it...
This is the sll of trouble, mixed with lots of conspiracy!
Better to leave it alone!"
And disappeared again.
....
Underworld.
The Queen of Hell's citadel.
Lilith was now reading the report she just received.
An invitation letter was beside her on the table.
After a while, she sighed,
"Out of 1300 hexagons, only 10 of them are still connected to the underworld...
The 20 evil mainlands are all disconnected, and the rest are already 'dead'...
What is even happening up there?
The 'Ancient ones' keep saying they know what they are doing.
But sothing here doesn't make sense.
I'm sure there is a traitor among us,
And they do whatever they want because I'm stuck down here..."
While in her own thoughts, a little boy, with his back towards her, appeared out of thin air.
"...!?"
The little boy, who was facing the exit door, gasped in shock,
"No way!
I actually ca out in front of my partner's ho?
I'm so accurate?"
And while tidying his suit and hair, he walked to the door.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"Partner, are you ready?
The movie is going to start!"
Lilith first tried to check which underworld gate was open so that he could appear here.
But all of the gates were closed...
So she asked in annoyance,
"How did you co here?"
This weird kid now had the ability even to enter her realm without her notice?
Little Mortal puffed his chest and said to the door,
"I used my ability that I unlocked recently!
But forget about that!
You won't believe what I saw on the way here!
I actually entered a weird place by accident!
I looked up, there was a glass surface!
I looked down, again, another glass surface!
I looked around and saw lots of shady-looking spheres chained from both sides.
Red mist was coming out of them in an ominous and scary way, like in the horror movies!
Let tell you, partner, that place was so suspicious that I could sll trouble and conspiracy everywhere!"
Lilith's expression, while listening to his nonsense,
Started changing little by little.
The more 'nonsense' he delivered, the more she felt he was talking about sothing that she was familiar with!
And when he finished describing the place, her eyes were already widened in shock.
"Wait, wait, wait!
How did you go there?
The seal is already broken?
Why didn't I receive any warning?"
Little Mortal said in dissatisfaction,
"Why don't you open the door first?"
Lilith answered impatiently,
"You are already inside!
I'm behind you!"
Little Mortal turned around and beca shocked again,
"No way!
I was even more accurate than I thought?"
Lilith ca to him and asked in a serious tone,
"Partner, it's important!
Tell how you went there?"
Little Mortal answered as a matter of fact,
"I just told you.
Using my new ability that I unlocked recently."
Lilith asked curiously,
"What power? Did you break anything on your way?"
Little Mortal scratched his head,
"I didn't na it, and I didn't break anything.
But my birthday gifts call it 'silent travel'."
Lilith gritted her teeth,
"I don't care about the na.
What I want to know is,
Did you enter from a hole or crack on one of the two surfaces you just described?"
Little Mortal shook his head,
"Nope."
Lilith finally sighed in relief.
"Okay, don't go there again.
Now, tell exactly what you saw.
Tell about the condition of the two surfaces, the chains and the spheres."
But Little Mortal shook his head,
"No!
The movie is going to start, and there is no ti for explanation!
Just watch for yourself on our way.
Oh, by the way,
Where is your invitation?
They won't let you in if you don't bring it."
Lilith almost brought out the underworld chains to chain him and make him talk instead of listening to his nonsense.
"The invitation is over there.
But forget about that.
Partner, I'm serious!
Tell about that place!"
Little Mortal walked to the table and picked up the invitation letter and a red, unknown fruit.
Then, while eating the fruit, he walked back to her, held her hand, and said,
"As I said, see for yourself."
And the two disappeared.
Lilith only felt a small hand pull her, and the world around her changed.
She entered a dark world with nothing around except so phantoms above her head.
Unconsciously, she panicked.
Where is this place?
"You won't believe it, partner.
*Munch* *Munch*
When I woke up today,
I saw a big, blue sun in the sky!
I was like,
'No way! The sun was yellow yesterday!
So how?'
You know?
That's how big our planet is now.
Even suns can revolve around it."
The familiar voice brought Lilith back to her senses.
She looked down and saw the little boy was still with her, holding her hand, and talking about his day while munching on the fruit from her place, and walking with her towards a random direction.
A red mist was emitting from him, but there was a difference now,
The red mist couldn't go far, and it was stuck in an invisible sphere around him.
As if a field were sealing it in to prevent it from going out and revealing the source.
She was going to ask where they were, but the world around them changed once more.
"Here you go.
See for yourself."
Lilith, who saw where the new place was, almost had a heart attack!
Her face lost its color in an instant!
She hastily tried to conceal her aura as much as possible and then looked at Little Mortal, trying to tell him sothing with her eyes without making a sound.
Little Mortal looked at her in confusion,
"What are you trying to say?
Say it out loud, no one can hear us."
*Munch*
And continued eating.
Lilith gulped down and whispered,
"I saw enough, let's leave!"
Little Mortal nodded, and the two disappeared again.
A mont later, they appeared on the mainland.
Lilith finally sighed in relief when she could feel the familiar lava sea.
They were back to a place she knew her way back from, at least.
Little Mortal looked at the sky,
And when he saw the Assassin God's bubble,
The two disappeared again.
.....
Planet Lubo.
On the silver platform, Little Mortal appeared with Lilith beside him.
"Welco to Planet Lubo, Underworld Manager.
Do you want us to go and start the movie?
Or to go around the planet for a tour?"
Lilith looked around.
The sa familiar planet that she saw once before.
Feeling the density of energy here, she took a deep breath unconsciously.
With her inhale, the whole planet turned cold slightly,
And when she exhaled, the whole planet turned back to normal.
Little Mortal's jaw dropped,
"Partner, you could be the best and most accurate weather reporter ever!"
Lilith didn't care about his nonsense and cald herself down.
There were many questions in her mind.
What and where was that 'Dark world'?
How did they enter the sealed area between the two realms that was supposed to be sealed?
How did she enter the mainland or this planet without being rejected by world law?
How could her partner walk anywhere he wants through that dark world without any space passage opening?
But before anything.
*Tremble*
The ground trembled slightly, and an underworld gate rose from the ground.
Lilith, who tried to see if she could go back or not,
Was stunned.
This planet wasn't a mainland.
It was inside a universe, protected by a space-ti bubble.
It was at most indirectly connected to the underworld, and the underworld gate should be opened only using the 'key', which was the judge hamr, from this side.
So, how did it just open for her, too?
She always needed enough 'Reason' to enter the world above...
But now, it was as though she was coming to her own territory.
While confused, she looked at the little boy, who was pointing at the sky,
"The blue sun I told you about."
And so she looked up.
Not long ago, she thought he was talking nonsense.
But now, seeing the blue sun, seeing the sealed place with spheres inside a while ago, and seeing the 'path' they took to co here using his new 'ability',
She thought this little partner of hers actually showed her everything she thought was nonsense...
'So is he always serious about everything he says?'
Curious, Lilith asked about sothing else that she thought was nonsense.
"What is the na of this movie that you invited to?"
If he was serious all this ti about everything,
Then the movie wasn't nonsense either, and it should be sothing important too, right?
Or he wouldn't have sent an invitation and co after her personally.
Little Mortal beca excited,
"The movie?
Let tell you!
It's an action movie with lots of bloody scenes and killing!
I even hired a bunch of cultivators for a slaughter scene!
You are going to love it!
Mainlands are going to clash,
Higher beings and supre beings are going to die left and right!
And, well, I won't spoil it anymore.
Watch for yourself.
And the na of the movie is,
'Mainland Chronicles: Heavenly Father Enters the Fray'.
And by the way, please control your aura, you look so 'hot' when you don't.
People might literally turn to ashes."
Lilith, who heard another bunch of seemingly nonsensical words, nodded.
She just needed to wait, see the 'movie', and then have a serious talk with him.
"So, you said sothing about taking around for a tour.
Is there even anything that interests here?"
Little Mortal rubbed his chin and asked,
"Big guy, where are the castles?"
The backpack and the rest of the birth treasures, who hadn't dared to make a sound until now, heard him asking a question and answered.
"Oh, so so random people were passing by and they fainted when they saw our castles, and now you gathered them in a deserted place?
Well,"
He looked back at Lilith,
"Wanna go watch a couple of castles?
Nothing remotely close to your citadel, though.
But it's still not bad.
And we have a couple of thousand different main planets here,
Or if we go around the planet, you can see lots of different scenery and moons in the sky.
I have a Higher being collection too if you want to see.
Or—"
Lilith, who saw the tour might take years, interrupted him,
"Forget about it.
I can travel around by myself when I'm free.
Let's go watch the 'movie',
There are so important matters that I need to discuss with you."
Little Mortal nodded,
"Alright.
Soone open a passage to the Queen's seat."
And a passage opened for the two to walk in.
On the other side of the passage, Lilith saw many people already gathering.
All with different levels or even races.
In the front row, there seems to be a special place for so important mbers.
A small chair was in the front row too, which was obvious it belonged to her partner.
But her seat was in a high place, separate from the rest.
"Your invitation, please."
Lilith heard the voice of her partner,
And she saw that the invitation letter was now in her hand.
So she gave it back to him again.
Little Mortal opened the invitation, checked it to be sure it wasn't fake, and nodded,
"Welco, Underworld Manager.
Please take a seat and wait for the movie to start."
Lilith was speechless.
She looked at her fancy seat and asked,
"Why is my seat separated from the rest?"
Little Mortal, with a 'what kind of question is this' face, said,
"You are a Queen.
The rest are peasants.
You should watch over them from above."
And left while shaking his head.
Lilith really didn't know whether he was joking or serious...
...
Mainland.
In a random place, the white canary, which was flying around, suddenly felt its 'invitation' vibrate.
It took it out and saw a small passage, big enough for it to enter, opened in front of the invitation...
While slightly shocked,
It looked at the other side and saw many familiar faces.
All the people it chose for advancent were there.
It tried to feel where the place is, and it actually received an answer.
It was the universe of that outsider called Abyssion, the Eternal Void.
The Manager wondered if it could even enter a universe's territory?
So it stretched its wing to test the passage.
And surprisingly, it entered without a problem.
It could even feel the other side was like the mainland, as if it was part of the sa 'territory',
And it could leave any ti it wants to.
While confused, it flapped its wings and appeared on a beautiful tree with white flowers and a fancy bird's nest.
Who else could this nest be for if not it?
The mont it entered, the crowd that saw it,
All stood up.
"With reverence and gratitude, we welco your divine presence, Mainland Manager, Celeron, and humbly seek your guidance and blessings."
The white canary, which didn't have a na,
Nodded in approval,
"Congratulations on your advancent.
Please sit."
The crowd, while pretending to be level 6, sat down and didn't think too much about the movie.
It was part of their deal, and they didn't mind playing a scene.
Only today, they found out that the opportunity to advance wasn't only for themselves, but for a bunch of them.
At this mont, another passage opened and two people walked in.
One was the Entertainnt Goddess.
The crowd was surprised to see her here because they didn't know she had the opportunity to advance like them.
She was too young and too low in ranking,
So she probably was here because she was actually the best when it cos to 'movies' and anything related to entertainnt.
And the second person was a girl, another higher being, dressed in a red gown, whom none of them recognized.
Even the white canary, who was supposed to know every higher being registered in its mainland, didn't know who she was!
"Please, take a seat, Entertainnt Goddess."
Said the girl, who seed familiar with the Entertainnt Goddess.
Then she walked forward and greeted everyone by na.
The crowd was puzzled.
It seems they were the only ones who didn't know her.
And then, after receiving the invitation letter from the Mainland Manager, she gave them their script.
"Everyone, this is the script for the scene you are playing.
Please read and morize it.
Feel free to change it however you want,
But the essence of the act can't be changed,
And except for the Mainland Manager and the Entertainnt Goddess,
The rest of you need to 'die' in the end."
The Goddess of Luck chuckled,
"I assu by dead you an 'dead' in a movie, right?"
Rose smiled and nodded,
"Yes."
The God of Knowledge asked,
"And how should we know that we 'died'?"
"You will be in a pool of 'blood', lying on the ground.
When that happens, you can just wait for the ending if nothing else happens."
The crowd nodded.
They wanted this movie to end soon so they could go back and look for their birth treasures with their advanced level.
It should be easy to find their lost birth treasures now, right?
A passage opened, and Rose left.
The crowd turned to Space Goddess.
"Space Goddess, was that your space mirror opening a passage?"
And Space Goddess shook her head,
"That's sothing else."
She knew it was her space mirror, and she even received a ssage from it, telling her not to worry about anything.
However, she couldn't ntion that others were using it because it was part of the contract she signed in the 'challenge' she lost to the unknown guardian.
Opposite of everyone else with independent universes, her universe belonged to a territory, the Guardian Territory, to be exact.
What it was and how it worked, she didn't know...
While Space Goddess was in her own thoughts,
A newly level 8 goddess had a secret conversation with her birth treasure.
