3 On the foot of the Sky Peak Mountain

When Un Sane was still falling from the top of the Sky Peak Mountain, these people already felt the immense pressure, naturally and unintentionally releasing by a Sage's Natal Energy. They haven't noticed a young man who landed in front of them.

At first, they were confused and was wondering what caused that terrifying surge of energy coming from that greatly shook the very base of their mind and spirit to the point of almost collapsing so naturally, they suspected many things including the youth that appeared out of nowhere in front of them but their suspicions immediately turned into scorn and disdain when they realized that the youth was only at Middle Mortal Stage cultivation.

Obviously, personally escorting the Heavenly Father has already proven their worth and this kind of people has huge pride stilled in their hearts.

Seeing a youth that should be cowering in fear after the energy tremor was standing indifferent in front of them made them looked weak but they that became unspoken. Their reason became, "Don't block our way.", the knight in front said in a solid manner, never in polite but domineering. Even though he was a bit dizzy after the sudden surge of energy, he sat on the horse as if nothing happened.

Un Sane looked at them, still indifferent. If this knights who are at least at the Lower Heavenly Stage has some sort of pride that wasn't supposed to be touched then what about a Great Sage? Revered higher than the Gods?

However, the mentality of not wanting to stand out helped him stop himself and only stood his point and be stubborn. He turned away with a snap, "I'm first, go pick another road."

"...", all the knights are silent, their faces ugly. They were still processing what the youth had said.

Actually, even if the youth strangely wasn't affected by the energy tremor, he should not be this indifferent in front of a hundred knights who all have the cultivation of at least Lower Heavenly Stage.

A hundred knights who all have the cultivation of at least Lower Heavenly Stage! This should be more than enough to dominate a prosperous city in one fell swoop with not much casualty. Even if the youth is also on the same level, he should still be at least polite in this kind of army.

What did they hear? I'm first, go pick another road? First of all, this is nonsensical. Second of all, this is bullshit! Third of all, the youth was just walking and just needed to step aside a little. Fourth of all, this is the only road to the Capital that can fit the carriage that was carrying the Heavenly Father and the list could still go on. Even if they don't have the pride of a knight worthy of standing beside the Emperor of the South, their faces will still twist in bullshittinity.

However, before they could rebuke in rage.

"Ask the youth politely!", a voice resounded inside the carriage.

'Huh?', this sort of reaction appeared in everyone's mind as they looked at the carriage, eyebrows furrowed but have lifted edges. Yet, they don't dare to rebuke or even ask why. The Heavenly Father's words are laws to them; if he said he's blue is green then it is green without a doubt, if he said Dumbledore is not gay then Dumbledore is not gay.

Reluctantly, the knight in front who looked to be the leader called Un Sane, "Child! Can you please step aside?", although it didn't sound polite enough, that was the best he could do.

"My name is Un Sane, repeat that and more politely then maybe I'll consider it.", Un Sane arrogantly didn't face them while speaking, he said it a little domineeringly.

'Un Sane? Like the Sage of Mind's great name? Someone named their child after a Great Sage?! How preposterous and it turned out to be a rude kid!', but thinking for a while, 'Wait, the Sage of Mind only revealed his great self a year ago and this youth is undoubtedly not a one-year-old kid....', the knight shook his head as this youth was only at the Lower Mortal Stage but more importantly, this youth's demands are unreasonable! "Uh!? Who do-!"

"Do what the youth had said!", another order came from the Heavenly Father that interrupted the anger of the leader of the knights in front.

"???", the knights looked at the carriage again but with a more questionable face now than before. What reason made the Heavenly Father say this? The youth is now being unreasonably rude and arrogant in their point of view.

However, they will undoubtedly do what the Heavenly Father said.

"Un Sane, can you please make way for the Heavenly Father's carriage to pass by?", the leader of the knight said in a defeated look, politely as possible. But now, he was sure that the youth will listen this time, even cowering because he had said the name of Heavenly Father. Everyone in the Southern world knew that title. The Emperor who rules them, even ignorant cavemen trembles in front of this man.

Un Same took a glance and sighed, "Okay, okay.", he then stepped aside.

The knights were surprised by this youth's reaction. However, they just whip their horses and went along the road. They felt that that youth was trouble and for some reason, the Heavenly Father forbids them to do anything.

The ground slightly trembled when the hundred robust knights passed by.

Un Sane just stared at them and glanced at the carriage.

Inside the flashy carriage, a chill crawled up to the Heavenly Father's spine and felt wronged, 'What?! None of this is my fault! Nobody will realize you as the Sage of Mind! I tried my best! Actually, how did you make your energy a Mortal Stage?', his face paled. He didn't dare to introduce the Great Sage when it looks like the Great Sage doesn't want to.

Even though the Heavenly Father was anxious at what will the Sage of Mind will do to him in the future, his thoughts were more inclined to curiousness. How did Un Sane make his Natal Energy that of a Middle Mortal Stage?

The reason for his overthinking was that it was akin to Cultivation being fruits to a normal person. They can see, touch, feel, and taste the fruit, they can also eat it. Be it an apple, an orange or a banana. However, there are limitations. When you had enough of your banana and had enough money to buy a better fruit, you will discard your banana. You can never get your banana again when that happens, even if you win a lottery and bought the best fruit. However, this Sage turned his watermelon into a banana. No sort of illusion can change the perspective of a person to one own's Natal Energy. It suddenly destroyed his logic of thinking.

The Heavenly Father could only sigh and think that the world is too vast and everything has a possibility. Maybe in the future, he can have his banana back again using his free will.

Sensing the troubles of the knights, the Heavenly Father reassured them with a reason, "We are in the foot of the Sky Peak Mountain at the time. The sudden surge of energy that you all felt was just the energy released by a Great Sage unknown if intentionally or not but I am sure that one of the Three Great Sages had just a sour mood that caused that tremor."

Hearing what the Heavenly Father had said, the knights sighed is a relief. From the moment they felt that energy, they were cautious and a bit scared of the unknown. What kind of monster that could create such tremor? Obviously, the Great Sages popped to their heads but they never once said it out loud. However, they are still troubled by something.

"So we shouldn't create any trouble. The Great Sages themselves will punish the rude youth from before. No need for unnecessaries!"

Everyone's chest suddenly lightened up in relief. The butler's eyes shone and praised, "You are right, Your Highness. Please forgive us for not realizing this simple thing and created such an atmosphere.", he bowed even when he was riding a horse.

The Heavenly Father was silent but it was enough to tell that he didn't care.

The atmosphere became livelier even when silence filled the area as the sound of the horse's footsteps touched the soil ground.

....

Since Un Sane already chose to take it easy when saving the world as he knew that there was nothing wrong with the invasion of the Demon Lord.

The Demon Race is just another faction besides the four nations that came out of nowhere. It's not like the Demon Race are ruthless or whatsoever, they are just like humans too.

Sure, they waged war but what nation did not in the past few centuries after the uprising of the Monster Kings? There are always wars and the war between human and demon race is not different from it.

The human race only treated the Demon Race differently because they were much stronger. In a month, the Eastern world was already on the brink of total defeat under this race. It was such a terrifying force.

The Demon Race is not evil like in the stories in books. They kill humans because it was always war. What are they going to do in a war, play chess? It is not like humans doesn't kill demons. But if you met them on some road, they will not treat you badly.

The only reason Un Sane took this mission was that the Demon Race was a bit moronic. They thought that war is always needed in the world and because they are too strong, the balance is being destroyed that they have to be somehow suppressed. Also, another reason was that Un Sane want to meet the Demon Lord again.
