Chapter 4: The Revival of Ancient God Baobao
“The ancient gods’ true plan unfolds as cosmic powers awaken"
Witnessing the awakening of guardians across the world, I felt the weight of my mission more acutely than ever before. However, Guardian’s next words heralded the beginning of developments far beyond my imagination.
Guardian’s Declaration:
“Interesting developments indeed. But this completes the first phase of our plan. By activating the guardian system, you have energized this planet’s ancient power. Now the conditions are perfect for the revival of our supreme ancient god."
A chill ran down my spine. Our counterattack had actually been part of the enemy’s plan all along.
Signs of the Ancient God’s Revival
The dimensional rift tears open as the colossal ancient god Baobao emerges in Egypt, his star-woven royal garments radiating cosmic power.
At that moment, the entire Earth was enveloped in an eerie vibration. This wasn’t an earthquake—the planet itself was resonating with some tremendous force.
A massive pillar of light rose from the direction of Egypt. It wasn’t mere light, but something that shattered the boundaries between dimensions.
Payanak’s voice rang in my mind like an emergency alert:
Payanak’s Warning:
“Tensui, hurry! The ancient god Baobao is attempting to revive! He was one of the strongest ancient gods sealed by the empire, sleeping beneath Egypt, but the large-scale activation of the guardian system has weakened his seal."
I was stunned. Had our victory invited an even greater catastrophe?
Emergency Teleportation to Egypt
“What should we do?" I asked desperately.
Payanak’s Instructions:
“Activate your 卍 mark at maximum output. The empire’s emergency teleportation system will become available."
I focused my consciousness on the 卍 mark on my forehead. Immediately, a blue-white light radiated from the symbol, and complex magical circle-like patterns appeared around Jet and me.
The next moment, enveloped in light, we found ourselves standing in the Egyptian desert. But this wasn’t the Egypt I knew.
The Transformed Egypt
The pyramids had revealed their true form. They weren’t merely stone structures, but massive technological devices of the empire. Their surfaces were carved with countless 卍 symbols, all radiating light in unison.
The Sphinx had also transformed. No longer a stone statue, it stood as a massive golden living guardian beast.
But most shocking of all was that these were all taking defensive positions toward a massive fissure in the ground.
The Descent of Ancient God Baobao
What crawled out of the fissure was a being beyond imagination—a humanoid figure over 100 meters tall. Its head was crocodilian, its body human, but draped in elaborate garments that seemed to be made of the very stars floating in space.
Baobao’s Declaration:
“How long it has been since I felt this planet’s touch. Imperial children, thank you for breaking the seal. I am grateful."
I understood completely. We had fallen into a perfect trap.
Dialogue with the Sphinx
Sphinx’s Reassurance:
“Fear not, young chosen one. I am the Imperial Guardian God Sphinx. I shall fight alongside you. Baobao’s revival was an anticipated event. Emperor Axiom had calculated this scenario. Through Baobao’s revival, the path to the ancient gods’ stronghold will be opened. Our true purpose is to discover and eradicate the enemy’s base."
I was amazed. How deep did Emperor Axiom’s planning extend?
Baobao’s True Power
When Baobao raised one hand, the surrounding desert instantly transformed into green land. But this wasn’t the power of life—it was the power of ancient chaos.
Baobao’s Declaration:
“I shall return this planet to the age of ancient chaos. Order has no place in this universe."
With Baobao’s proclamation, space itself began to warp. His power reached levels that could rewrite the laws of reality.
The Beginning of Multidimensional Combat
The Unified Guardian System activates as golden energy connects the protagonist to guardians worldwide, wielding a multidimensional rainbow blade against the colossal Baobao.
I intuitively understood that this battle couldn’t be won through conventional physical combat.
“Payanak, please lend me your power!"
Payanak’s Response:
“Preparations are already complete. Through your 卍 mark, connect with all the empire’s guardians."
The Unified Guardian System Activation
When my forehead’s 卍 mark blazed with intense light, mental links with guardians worldwide were established. Mount Fuji’s Yatagarasu, India’s Naga, Northern Europe’s Jormungandr, and countless other guardians positioned around the world.
More power than ever before flowed into my body. But this wasn’t merely personal power enhancement—it was the concentration of all the world’s guardians’ strength into a single point.
What appeared in my right hand wasn’t a golden sword of light, but a rainbow-colored multidimensional blade.
Direct Confrontation with the Ancient God
“Baobao! In the name of Emperor Axiom, I shall seal you once again!"
Baobao’s Response:
“What arrogance from a mere child. You dare to master the Unified Guardian System?"
I understood. This power transcended individual strength.
The Empire’s True Will
During the battle, my consciousness expanded, allowing me to directly touch Emperor Axiom’s will. From the distant imperial headquarters, the Emperor was watching this battle and sent me instructions for the next phase:
Emperor Axiom’s Command:
“Tensui, do not completely destroy Baobao. Use him to probe the ancient gods’ stronghold."
I changed tactics—from complete destruction to suppression and information gathering.
Baobao’s Submission
While continuously attacking with the multidimensional blade, I gradually wore down Baobao’s power. Guardians around the world were supporting me. Before this strength, even an ancient god couldn’t resist.
Baobao’s Revelation:
“So this is the empire’s true power… But this isn’t the end. In our stronghold, there are far more powerful beings. The thirteenth dimension beyond, in the center of the chaos vortex. There, the Creation God itself slumbers."
I seized the opportunity: “Where is that stronghold?"
Obtaining Crucial Information
The information obtained from Baobao was extremely important to the empire. The ancient gods’ stronghold was located in the thirteenth dimension, where the universe’s Creation God existed. This was information relating to the fundamental order of the cosmos.
Baobao’s Resealing
Following Payanak’s instructions, I drew a sealing magic circle around Baobao with my multidimensional blade. The ancient god’s words were cut off as he was enveloped in sealing light.
A New Ally Joins
When Baobao’s resealing was complete, the Sphinx approached me.
Sphinx’s Proposal:
“Tensui, your battle performance was magnificent. I too shall join you in the final battle. And I have a proposal—Egypt holds many of the empire’s ancient technologies. Let us excavate them to prepare for the final battle."
Excavation of Ancient Technology
Deep within the pyramid’s technological chamber, the legendary “Sword of Truth" floats in golden light, surrounded by advanced imperial weaponry.
Guided by the Sphinx, we headed deep into the pyramid’s interior. There, ancient imperial weapons far surpassing modern technology were stored.
Interdimensional travel devices, space-time manipulation equipment, and most importantly, the only weapon capable of confronting the Creation God—the “Sword of Truth."
Sphinx’s Warning:
“This sword is the only weapon capable of defeating the universe’s Creation God. However, its use comes with great sacrifice."
The Sphinx’s warning filled me with determination.
Preparation for the Thirteenth Dimension
Having completed the excavation of ancient technology, we began preparing for the advance into the thirteenth dimension. However, there was a problem that needed solving first.
Many remnants of the ancient gods’ minions still remained on Earth. Without eliminating them, we couldn’t use Earth as a secure base.
Beginning the Earth Purification Operation
My Call to Action:
“Guardians of the world, begin the final operation."
Guardians worldwide responded to my call. Thus began the planet-wide operation to eliminate the ancient gods’ remaining forces.
My loyal companion Jet had completely adapted to battle, bravely supporting me.
Resolve for the Next Trial
Through the battle with Baobao, I understood the true terror of the ancient gods. But simultaneously, I realized the greatness of the empire’s power.
Emperor Axiom’s plans always exceeded our imagination. The next battle would be a direct confrontation with the universe’s Creation God—the ultimate battle with existence itself at stake.
Having completed the battle in Egypt, I felt anew the importance of bonds with my companions. Payanak, the Sphinx, my loyal Jet, and guardians around the world. These bonds are the true source of the empire’s power.
To Be Continued…
The cosmic war reaches its climax as the thirteenth dimension awaits. Will Tensui and the unified guardians triumph against the Creation God itself?
