Prologue - Dragon's Tears of Blood

In the orbitarium, the jade emperor and the underworld lord are playing chess. Jade emperor had a big smile on his face. He is very close to checkmate against the underworld lord. Whilst the underworld lord had a frowning face. He is dying to win against the jade emperor.

The underworld lord took a piece of a black chess piece and put it on the chessboard. Jade emperor giggled and said, "This move is amazing." He was being sarcastic.

Master Woon came to the orbitarium. He walked towards the jade emperor and the underworld lord. He bowed at them to give respect. Both of them are ignoring him but focused on their chess game.

Melvin came forward. He bowed at Master Woon. Master Woon quickly dragged him to a corner.

Melvin looked at him in surprise, "Eh! Eh! What is wrong?"

Master Woon wondered if he had seen any ominous sign lately. He let go his hand and gave Melvin a serious stare, "Have you got any reading lately? Or any sign?" He asked Melvin.

Melvin rolled his eyes towards Master Woon, stared at him for a bit and shrugged. "You are making me feel uncomfortable. Stop beating around the bush. You know very well I could never guess what you wanted to say."

Master Woon put his hand into the messenger and dug out a dragon statue. He said in a quivering voice, "Tears of blood in the dragon eye. It is an ominous sign!"

Melvin gasped in shock. He seized the dragon statue from him and looked. He gulped, "When did you notice the tears of the dragon?" Melvin asked.

Master Woon responded, "Yesterday. I got no prediction." He was hoping Melvin could give a prediction. Apart from him, Melvin is the only one who can provide an accurate reading.

Melvin tapped his fingers to calculate a prediction. He could not find any clue as well. He shook his head and gave an annoying whopping. Master Woon sighed in disappointment, and frustration.

They both looked at the jade emperor and underworld lord. Master Woon walked towards them. He slammed the dragon statue on top of the chessboard to interrupt their game. The chess pieces bounced from the chessboard, flowing around.

The jade emperor and underworld lord gasped in anger. They both gave a blazing gaze towards Master Woon.

"Are you out of your mind? I am about to defeat him!" the jade emperor yelled.

"I came to report an emergency, but you both ignored me." Master Woon said.

All eyes were on Master Woon. They waited for him to speak.

"Have a look at the dragon statue on the chessboard!" Master Woon said and pointed at the dragon statue.

The jade emperor looked at the dragon statue. His eyes go as wide as they can. He said, "Tears of blood."

The underworld lord quickly stood up to look at the dragon statue.

"This is an ominous sign. What have you predicted?" The underworld lord asked.

Master Woon shook his head, hinting them he didn't have a prediction. Jade emperor and the underworld lord looked at Melvin. Melvin shook his head as well.

A tear of blood from a dragon statue is signifying a big tragedy will happen. Master Woon and Melvin were trying to predict the mishap, but not sure why they could not get any reading.

Jade emperor getting concerned. He stood up from the seat and walked toward the magical compass. He grabbed the compass and gave it to Melvin. Melvin looked at the compass. The compass needle points to the north. Melvin read out the prediction from the compass, "North is the mortal realm." Ok, but what will happen in the Mortal Realm? They were still short of a clue.

The underworld lord walked toward the desk and took out a magical dice from the drawer. He gave the magical dice to Master Woon. He took the dice and rolled it. Master Woon read out the prediction from the dice, "Demon God."

The underworld lord and jade emperor merged their prediction. The result is "Demon God will emerge in the mortal realm." They looked at one another, scratching their heads.

They panicked. The hell realm, the heavenly realm, and ocean realm had united to fight against a Demon God ten thousand years ago. The estimated casualties from the war against the demonic clan are close to 500,000 troops. Ever since this incident, the superior immortals formed an alliance, and they agreed to abolish the witchcraft manuscripts. Nobody may practise witchcraft.

Melvin said, "They can only turn into a demon god if they are practising witchcraft. Our system could not track the immortal who cultivated on the demon."

The heavenly realm and hell realm have obsoleted the witchcraft manuscript. Since they have banned the immortal from practising witchcraft, nobody knows about witchcraft. They can't develop a technology to detect whoever is practising it.

Master Woon shook his head, "I got no idea. We made a calculation together earlier. Asuna will give birth to a child who will turn into a demon god."

Melvin walked towards the telescope and requested the magical telescope to display the location of Asuna. The telescope is not moving. It is a sign of undetectability. He requested the telescope to show him the jungle in the fern mountain. Again, the telescope is not moving.

"The entire jungle has gone missing! Nothing can trace them!" Melvin sighed. "Asuna never ceases to amaze me! She is a nutcase! She sacrificed 25,000 years of cultivated energy to shield the jungle!" He continued babbling.

"Since the demon god will emerge in the mortal realm, I will move to the mortal realm and stay there. This is probably one solution." Master Woon gave his proposal.

"For many years, I thought we had demolished the demonic clan. But now, the demonic clan had found a new master!" Melvin sighed.

Jade emperor nodded, "If the demon god is in the human realm, I am afraid, we might need to work with human beings."

Underworld lord disagreed to his suggestion, "This is unnecessary."

Master Woon interrupted, "I am afraid, the jade emperor is right. You can send a million troops to the human realm, but it will be pointless because we are intangible to them."

The underworld lord looked at his brother. He hated it when he agreed to the jade emperor.

The eyes of an ordinary human being can never see an immortal. They tried to find out if there will be any human being that can communicate with immortals. Melvin and Master Woon tapped on their fingers. They both ran through the schematic in their mind.

Melvin gave his prediction. "There are two people who can communicate with the immortals. They can fit into these roles. They will appear in the year 1370 in Shilla Country. The youngest son of the emperor and daughter of the prime minister."

Master Woon laughed at Melvin's prediction. "Melvin, your prediction does not make any sense. They will die on the same day, in the same place in the year 1370."

The underworld lord gives his proposal, "We can revive them and give them the mission."

Jade emperor shook his head, strongly disagreed. "You are breaking the protocol. We have never agreed to revive human beings."

Melvin interrupted, "Seems like the only solution. We are not breaking a protocol if the superior realms agreed."

The underworld lord looked at everyone and said, "Raise your hand to vote for yes."

Melvin, Master Woon, and the underworld lord raised their hands. "3 - 1"

The Jade emperor looked at them. He is not satisfied, "Have you forgotten about Poseidon? He is also part of the superior realm."

They glared at the jade emperor. Melvin responded to the jade emperor, "We all know his answer already. I am sure you know too."

Melvin coughed to imitate the voice of Poseidon, "I have 1 trillion of fishes making me busy everyday. I trust the heavenly realm and the hell realm will manage the mortal realm well!"

Kenji is resting on top of a tree trunk. He opened his eyes and sat on the ground. He dreamt of his son, and he knew it was a sign of Asuna had given birth.

He got up, whirled, and swung around the tree to climb to the peak. He sat on the highest branch and turned his head to look in all directions.

The particular jungle he is looking for has gone. He guessed Asuna had invoked a shield to hide the entire jungle. He could sense Asuna is still alive, and she is in danger.

"Where are you, Asuna?" he let out a huff.

In the hell realm, Master Woon packed his stuff. He prepared to move to a dungeon in the mortal realm.

Ariel and the Underworld lord gathered in the entrance of the greyish palace of the hell realm.

She walked closer to Master Woon and hugged him, "I will miss you, uncle!"

"We will meet again soon, Ariel." Master Woon smiled at Ariel. "You will execute your trial in the mortal realm soon."

He bowed at Ariel and the underworld lord to give his respect.

He embarked on a boat that will bring him into the mortal realm - human world.
