RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 88: WAKE UP

Pona's father was surprised, he walked over quickly before staring into the hole.

When he found 2 men and women lying in a hole with all bodies full of blood, Pona's father panicked "Pona, you back off first! I'll check it out!".

Pona's father jumped down from the hole, after seeing the man and woman's corpse clothes then Pona's father knew that they were the same cultivators as him and Pona.

Therefore, Pona's father felt a closeness to these 2 corpses that had the same origin as him.

The moment Pona's father decided to bury these 2 corpses as a sense of care for his fellow cultivators, his face changed as he felt the flow of breath of these 2 corpses "Pona, summon grandfather Jerk from the village! these 2 people are still alive and heavily injured, we must help them as soon as possible before it is too late!".

...----------------...

Myro felt like he was having a very long dream, about things that had passed over countless hours.

Suddenly a bright light appeared in the middle of the dream that made Myro open his eyes.

Myro realized that he was currently in a room made of wood completely, be it walls, floors or roofs made of wood.

He tried to pick up the sword that was always around him at bedtime, but Myro realized that his sword was no longer there.

While Myro was still confused and clueless as to what was happening, he recalled everything that had happened in the Dragon Ruins and the forked dimensional hole path that Myro had to face a deadly dimensional storm. Then the spirit figure of Promotheus who made all this happen, Myro's face became cold because if he was unlucky then he might have died by now.

Myro tried to stand up, but he realized that his entire body was very sick and covered by a bandage that made Myro unable to move. Besides that Myro could not feel the energy from his body, it seemed that the wound that Myro received this time was too big that he had to wait until the wound was getting healed before his strength could slowly return.

Being in this unknown place, Myro decided to call Leo, Libra, Taurus, and Cancer. As long as Myro can't use the energy of his injuries, he needs zodiac protection.

But when going to call the zodiac then Myro realized that he could not call him, even Myro could not talk to them.

A possibility appeared on Myro's head that this was the same as his previous life where the Poison Emperor gave Myro poison so that he could not summon a spirit, in this world there must be another reason why Myro could not summon this spirit of his.

When Myro was still thinking, the door of the room where Myro was located opened, the figure of a young woman who was about 20 years old looked at Myro who had woken up full of surprises "Finally you're awake, you've been sleeping for almost a month which makes me think that you're dead! Fortunately my father was a good person, if it was someone else then you who were never aware would probably be thrown away because now we have a little trouble getting food. Therefore, adding 2 people to a meal made the state of our family more difficult".

"It has been a month?" said Myro gloomily, when he had no time to spend but he had been here for a month, if it continues like this then it is only a matter of time before he fails to become a Martial Emperor before the evil Myro rises.

"Right, it's been a month" said the woman who placed the porridge she was carrying beside Myro "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Pona! A cultivator like you guys, so we are friends!".

Myro who heard this began to think, it seems that the change in the direction of the dimensional hole not only changed the direction of their destination, but also changed the world in which Myro appeared.

In the Emperor World, every cultivator was not necessarily friends but according to Pona's words then all cultivators were friends, this made Myro try to recall all the worlds he had come to in his previous life.

Myro looked at this Pona who had the strength of a level 1 Nascent Soul, very weak compared to Myro's strength when healthy.

"My name is Myro, a cultivator similar to you. Thank you for helping to take care of my injuries, if there was no help then I would have died. Am I allowed to ask, who is in charge of this world?", Myro asked curiously, as long as he knew who was in power then he could tell the world where Myro fell now.

Pona approached Myro before saying worriedly "It seems that you are so heavily injured that you have forgotten a little memory, that you have forgotten the one who rules this world. Now our group of cultivators is suppressed by the black magic users and demons, especially the one who led those demons at the moment that is the evil magic grandmother, the queen of demons, Rangda! She is an old evil witch and has a very bad face, but she still enjoys eating children to defend her life and strengthen her black magic! Not to mention some other human cultivators betraying us, they decided to side with Rangda! This makes our position even more suppressed, for now we can only hide in the mountains and forests so as not to be caught by the Rangda troops".

"Rangda? The magic granny Rangda? Waitaminute! Are you a follower of Barongan?", said Myro who began to know about this world.

"You seem to have regained your memories!", said Pona happily, but his face turned sad again "First, the god Barongan was still there to protect the humans against the evil sorcerer Rangda! But one day, Barongan suddenly disappears which makes Randa's magic grandmother become even stronger and unstoppable!".

"Otherwise he has a lot of scary devil followers! However, what made me most unable to accept it was that there were some humans who were on his side! Though Randa likes to eat humans, especially children to strengthen his black magic, but there are still humans who support it!".

Hearing Pona's words, Myro did not speak much and only listened.

In the cultivation world though, there were some people who used evil cultivation techniques that were eating humans or anything to increase their cultivation, even Myro had found people who ate babies to increase his cultivation. Therefore, Rangda who ate the children was not at all strange.

Myro now knew quite clearly about the world he was in now, this world where Rangda who was a holy spirit was in power.

Why can there be a spirit without a powerful master? Rangda did the same as what Ganesha did to Shi Yan, but for Shi Yan then Myro helped him in time so Ganesha's plan failed which made him only able to become Shi Yan's spirit completely.

While Rangda is successful, he takes control of the human body that is his master and gathers an army of demons to rule the world.

But there is a big problem for Rangda to rule the world, namely Barongan, a holy spirit who has always been an enemy of Rangda in Indonesian mythology.

In mythology around Java and Bali, Barongan has 2 or 4 feet with the head of a lion, although he can turn his head into a variety of forms, namely bears or various other animals.

Barongan repeatedly led a good army to fight the demons with Rangda, so even in this world Barongan still tried to fight Rangda.

At first both Barongan and Rangda had the same strength so they could not win, but one day Barongan disappeared which made Rangda become more powerful.

This was what Myro knew about this world from his previous life, the reason Myro knew this so well was that Myro in his previous life had thought of letting his comrade like Sun Wu, go, Xinyu or Bolt absorb Rangda to increase their strength.

But the black energy in Rangda's body at that time was already very strong, Myro was afraid that they could not control the black magic.

After all, as a cultivator then black magic was too risky because it could damage the body of its user. As long as black magic is not discarded then Rangda energy will not be absorbed.

So Myro canceled to go to the world where Rangda is, so that Myro now does not know for sure about this world because Myro in his previous life even though he had never come to this Rangda world.

"Pona, I have another question. Do you know about the existence of the spirit that the cultivator has?", Myro asked carefully.

"Spirit? Whatisit? do cultivators have to have spirits? Why don't I and dad know?" said Pona puzzled.

Myro looked at Pona's face carefully and realized that this young lady was not lying, it seemed that there was indeed a problem in this world where a cultivator in this world could not summon spirits.

"Is this all Rangda's action? Or can't summon this spirit related to Barongan's disappearance?", thought Myro who felt there were many oddities in this world.
