Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - Chapter 434

Chapter 434
[Uh-hum . I'm not this Ha-Yeong-or-rather, but someone simply passing b . . . . Damn it, hey, Disciple Sun . Get over here and fetch this elixir already . ]
The blondie mountain deity spirit promptly gave up on her acting and called out to me .
Such a thing happened often back in the Journey to the West .

[A portion of judges are complaining that such events didn't need to be imitated . ]

[One additional point has been awarded . ]

A spirit would suddenly pop out of nowhere and help out the group, saying that it was the will of the Buddha-nim or something similar . Such blatant acts of ignoring probability and deus ex machina ran rampant in the original Journey to the West; so much so that I had to wonder whether it was the very first 'lump all lucky coincidences to one person' type novel or not .
I courteously bowed a little and spoke . "Thank you for helping us out always . "
[… . Only doing it because I've been told to . ] Perhaps reminded of someone right now, Jang Ha-Yeong looked up at the sky with a resentful expression and muttered to no one in particular . [Count yourself lucky . . . . If I hadn't been late, the role of the 'Demon King of Salvation' would've been mine . . . . ]
That came out so naturally, didn't it . It seemed that this role was supposed to be Jang Ha-Yeong's .
" . . . . Why did you want to perform this role?"
She looked at me with distant eyes before shaking her head with a smirk .
[Well, yeah, you wouldn't know anything about how awesome the 'Demon King of Salvation' actually is . ]
I thought about it for a little while, before speaking up with a voice overflowing with affection towards, uh, myself . "I also like the 'Demon King of Salvation' very much . "
[Oh, really? Have you heard some kind of Fables about him, then?]
"For instance, the 'Liberator of the Industrial Complex' he earned in the Demon World . "
[Oh-oht?]
That must've flipped a switch in her somewhere, because Jang Ha-Yeong suddenly started telling me a long-winded tale of her adventure . If I were to simplify the contents somewhat, it went something like this .
[So like back then, I managed to rescue the dying 'Demon King of Salvation', you see? So when you get right down to it, I actually saved the 'Demon King of Salvation' . So? It was fun, right? It wasn't . . . . ? In any case, we came to a mutual understanding right below the Root of Darkness and made a pledge of brotherhood . We worked together to liberate the 'Industrial Complex' from the grips of a dastardly Demon Duke, and . . . !]
… . The story was more or less accurate, but I couldn't be sure why it felt like I was stuck listening to a novel being read here .
[And then, the 'Demon King of Salvation' looked at me with gloom-filled eyes and said, "My dear friend, become my warrior that will fight for my sake . "]
I began wondering if it was alright to let a baseless story such as this one to float around, but messages suddenly floated up in the air en masse before I could do anything about it .


[Judge, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', is criticising the deity spirit's nonsense!]

[Judge, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', is arguing that it was him who performed the most heroics back in the Demon World!]

[Judge, 'Meihouwang', is ridiculing the 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' . ]

[Many audience members are getting interested in the Nebula 's Fable . ]

As things stood, I couldn't really tell apart whether we were in the [Journey to the West] or [Kim Dok-Ja Company's Disorganised Great Adventure Get-Together] .
Maybe, that was what Han Su-Yeong was aiming for .
As the 's Fable grew stronger, the potential 'Great Fable' we'd earn through this [Journey to the West Remake] would also become stronger, too .

[Fables of the are spreading throughout the via word of mouth . ]

Well, we'd have to wait and see if that was ultimately a good decision or not .
How long passed by like this? Yi Ji-Hye yawned out of pure boredom and spoke up . "Argh, just finish up and hand over the elixir, will you?"
[… . Here . ]

*

Another week went by .
We defeated countless Yogoes and also faced off against the Constellations from that showed up to retrieve those creatures afterwards .
[Those Yogoes that you subjugated earlier were creatures that I raised in my backya . . . . . ]
"Scram . "
Yu Jung-Hyeok kicked them away instead of me . Seemingly wanting to avoid fighting the 'Conquering King' Zhu Bajie, 's Constellations went away willingly even though they expressed their dissatisfaction over the matter .

[Outer God transformation progress percentage: 95%]

[Rate of your Outer God transformation has been slowed down . ]

The rate of becoming an Outer God hadn't progressed all that much during that time . On the other hand, our group's rate of advancing through the Journey to the West was shockingly fast .

[Current rate of Journey to the West's progress: 94%]

We had finally broken past the 90% mark .
Yi Ji-Hye spoke while panting breathlessly . "Wow, now that was really tough . "
"It seems that way, especially for today . "
"What are you even talking about? You are just riding a bus, aren't you?"
I ignored her retort and confirmed the Fable chamber ranking, instead .

[Current ranking of the applicable Fable chamber is 4th . ]

[Score: 21912]

[Many audience members are marvelling at the applicable Fable chamber's stunning rate of growth . ]

It hadn't even been ten days, yet we had already brushed aside all the other, starrier chambers and climbed up to the 4th rank . I couldn't help but respect Han Su-Yeong's talent, even if I didn't want to .

[Current number one in the rankings is the 'Real Journey to the West' . ]

[Score: 30408]

With our current speed, I thought that it'd not be impossible to catch up to Fei Hu, currently the undisputed number one in the rankings .
Of course, it was still too early to celebrate . The competition wouldn't end even if we managed to surpass Fei Hu's chamber and claim the top spot .
Because, the overall victor would be determined only after collating the total voted points and the judges' opinions .
I looked up at the stars blinking high up in the night sky – at the Constellations, currently listed as mere anonymous audience members .

[A portion of audience members are holding animosity towards you . ]

Without a doubt, must be watching the rise of our ranking right now .

⸢The pride feels about their 'Great Fable' is enormous . ⸥

They would never accept their 'Great Fable' being inherited by a weak little Nebula . Besides, there was a good reason for them to feel dissatisfied with us, too .
Such as . . . .
"There are a lot of them now, aren't they . "
… . The group of 'Yogoes' currently following us .
The ranks of 'Yogoes' filling up the footpath of the mountain were so humongous that I couldn't even see their end anymore .
Every single one of them were creatures we had spared .



[The agreement with the Wenny King is underway . ]

[In order to fulfil the agreement, you need to increase the shares of 'Outer God' for the applicable Fable to over 30% . ]

[Currently, shares of 'Outer God' for the applicable scenario is 15 . 772% . ]

The Journey to the West was marching closer to its end, yet the shares for the 'Outer Gods' remained depressingly low . I had saved that many Yogoes, but the percentage was only over 15 . . . .
But then again, it was pretty obvious why . Sure, there were a lot of them, but they didn't impact our story all that much . Meaning, the core of the 'Journey to the West' hadn't changed . They had been participating as mere 'extras' on this stage and not as its main actors .
The only reason why their shares had risen past 15% was simply because many in the audience ended up paying attention to this rather abnormal situation, that was all .

[Many audience members are looking at the 'Pilgrimage' in awe . ]

[A portion of judges are focusing on the possibility of a new 'Journey to the West' . ]

[A small number of judges are worried about the perversion of the original . . . . . ]

This march of the Yogoes even earned a nickname, to boot: the Pilgrimage .
Countless Yogoes, journeying to India so that they could become enlightened on their existence .

[A portion of audience members are entering the applicable scenario in order to view the 'Pilgrimage' . ]

Heck, recommendations for our Fable chamber even showed up in the 'Journey to the West' recommendation bulletin board, too .

[Cool Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, adorable Tang Sanzang, and the soft Sun Wukong . ]

Author: uri9158

- Review: Zhu Bajie is so cool, and Tang Sanzangs are super cute, too .

['I've become the retired SSSSS-rank', a masterpiece that initially sounds like a mass-produced Fable . ]

Author: Non-Mass Production-type Maker

- Review: In all honesty, the real protagonists of the 'Journey to the West' are 'Yogoes' . Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, they are all 'Yogoes' . Yet the Journey to the West's theme is infinitely closer to 'humanism' . It's because all the Yogoes appearing in the original had been humanised extensively from a human's perspective . Meaning, Yogoes from the Journey to the West had to live as 'humans' after their status as Yogoes had been stolen from them . . . .

… . It felt as if the names of the authors were kind of familiar, but that must be a mistake on my part . Surely .
Whatever the case might have been, we were getting quite a few puzzling recommendations .
"They are still following us . . . . "
Shin Yu-Seung walking at the rear of the group next to me kept glancing behind her as if something was bothering her . She seemed to hesitate slightly, but then, extended her hand out to a Yogoe acting like a puppy by her feet .
" . . . . Hi?"
I was slightly nervous about the Yogoe suddenly attacking her, but thankfully, what I feared didn't happen .
Yogoe crouched like an obedient puppy and rubbed its nose against the tip of her fingers . This guy was no longer the terrifying 'Outer God' that I knew of .
[SowarmSowarmSowarmSowarm]
They were not the 'demonic beasts' that Shin Yu-Seung could tame . Well, 'Outer Gods' weren't designated as one of those friendly lifeforms, after all . They were simply 'things' that lost their usefulness, wandering around on the outside of scenarios .
Even then, Shin Yu-Seung carefully paid attention to them with a serious expression on her face .
[YuseungYuseungYuseungYuseungYuseung]


[NamemeNamemeNamemeNamemeNameme]
Did she actually understand them?
Could she understand their words and see what their real appearance was?
I hesitated a little before asking her . "Aren't you afraid?"
"Not at all . It's like, when I keep looking at them, I find them kind of cute, in a way . And . . . . "
Small tentacles resembling those of an octopus tickled the back of her hand like a stoke of foxtail .
" . . . . A person I like appeared like this once before, you see . "
Suddenly, a short bout of migraine and dizziness rushed in along with a zing in my head .

I saw her determined eyes scanning the ranks of Yogoes and bit down hard on my lip .

[Notice to all Constellation-nims currently participating in the scenario . ]

An unannounced broadcast suddenly came from somewhere .
The surrounding atmosphere trembled and Yogoes all looked up at the sky with worried expressions .
[TheycomingTheycomingTheycomingTheycoming]
[DontlikeDontlikeDontlikeDontlikeDontlike]
Cries of the 'Outer Gods' rose up from here and there .
A Great Dokkaebi appearing as a semi-transparent figure was being transmitted in the sky above .
[The 'Journey to the West Remake' scenario is gradually inching towards its conclusion . I heard that recently, due to the point gap between the upper ranks and the middle being too great, many Constellation-nims are half-way giving up on the scenario itself . ]
What an ominous-sounding opening remark that was .
[ is fair with its opportunities . An eel that struggles can become a Dragon, and inversely, a Dragon ruling the sky can also fall to the ground, as well . ]
For a moment there, the Great Dokkaebi seemed to have glanced in our direction .
[So, ending things here would leave behind a bit of a sour taste, wouldn't you say?]
"Uh? What's going on?!"
Along with Yi Ji-Hye's loud yell, our surroundings began transforming . As the rays of bright light exploded, our group as well as the Yogoes had been transferred to the bank of a massive river .

[Fable chambers are being consolidated!]

[The 'I've become the retired SSSSS-rank Sun Wukong' has been incorporated into the 'Great Fable' . ]

(Sun Wukong knew which river this was . )

(They were now in the western riverbank of Tongtian River . This was the final hurdle before reaching India . )

The Great Dokkaebi laughed . [Deciding the first spot through just the score alone is not amusing . However, isn't 'finding out which 'Fable' is stronger' the natural law of ?]

[Many audience members are cheering on and agreeing with that declaration!]

[A small number of audience members are smacking their lips!]

[A portion of judges are frowning at the interference of a Great Dokkaebi . ]



As the messages streamed in, large pillars of light began flashing in various spots of the riverside .

[421st Fable chamber has been consolidated!]

[The 'My Sun Wukong is broken from a certain point on' has been incorporated into the 'Great Fable' . ]

We found another group exactly like ours over there .
The stunned-silly Yi Gil-Yeong shouted out . "Who are those people?!"
That group also featured Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse .
Indeed, they were a 'Journey to the West' expedition team from another Fable chamber .

[7133rd Fable chamber has been consolidated!]

[The 'I thought I was Sun Wukong but I was just a regular monkey' has been incorporated into the 'Great Fable' . ]

[6523rd Fable chamber has been consolidated!]

[The 'Omniscient Sun Wukong Ruyi Bang's Viewpoint' has been incorporated into the 'Great Fable' . ]

As the pillars of light continued to descend, many 'Sun Wukongs' revealed themselves on the riverbanks . Some possessed weak Status, while some others possessed mighty ones . And then . . . .

[1st Fable chamber has been consolidated!]

[The 'Real Journey to the West' has been incorporated into the 'Great Fable' . ]

… . Some even possessed an overwhelming Status, too .
Every single one making up that particular Fable chamber was among the top elite of elite Constellations .
The 'Sun Wukong' currently ranked number one was looking over in our direction, his eyes burning in the pale-blue ghostly flames .
… . As expected, it had come down to this .
I had been anticipating that something like this might happen . Because, at the rate the things were going, Fei Hu's side would've lost to us in the points tally .

[A portion of judges are worried about your safety . ]

[Judge, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', is furious at this development!]

[Judge, 'Bimawen', is getting curious about the conclusion of this scenario . ]

[Judge, 'Meihouwang', orders you to sweep every one of these people away!]

Not only that, the main judges were already siding with us to boot, too . Indeed, that side probably had no choice but to do something before the situation worsened even further for them .

[Details of the main scenario have been updated!]

The voice of the Great Dokkaebi resounded out next .
[And so, the final event of the 'Journey to the West Remake' will start now . ]

Fin .
