When Liu Guanyi opened his eyes, he was already inside the rice pot as he saw the massive figure of the God of Guardians.
Seeing that he was back, the guardian spoke. "How was it? What was your experience meeting your true self?"
"Not bad, it was quite surprising and enlightening, to say the least." Answered Liu Guanyi casually with a smile.
"Even if you say so, you aren't really surprised. Instead, you look pretty calm about it… no, it's more like that you are still exactly the same?" The God of Guardians asked in wonder out loud.
Looking from Liu Guanyi's expression, he felt that his Revolution was different from Zahard and his companions but unfortunately, he couldn't grasp what was the difference.
"Anyway, the Revolution is really helpful, thank you, God of Guardians." Said Liu Guanyi with gratitude as he thanked the guardian.
It was common sense to be grateful to those who did a favor so it was important to show some appreciation, or at least displaying it outwardly.
Well, the God of Guardians was certainly an important figure so being polite was the least Liu Guanyi could do to create a good relationship between them, at least for the time being, he was still very weak compared to the other irregulars, after all.
"No need to thank me, kid. Guiding you is the reason I was created, after all. Even though you don't have noble characters, my job is simply to guide people like you not to judge them." The God of Guardians spoke as he dismissed Liu Guanyi's gratitude.
"Still, I owe you a favor for this, God of Guardians. Anyway, are you still in contact with your master?" Liu Guanyi asked casually.
"Contact with my master? Not really. After I trained Zahard and his companions, a long time had passed without those who opens the door coming to the Hell Train so my had master left a long time ago and the train lost its original purpose."
"Moreover, thousands of years probably have passed since then so I don't even know any news about my master." Said the guardian casually.
Liu Guanyi nodded hearing that. Though he didn't show it on his face, he felt very relieved. His risky bet had turned very well, much better than what he had anticipated.
Even though Liu Guanyi had inferred from his first meeting with the guardian that the Workshop didn't hold a bad stance toward the irregulars, this didn't mean that they didn't have any schemes for them.
From what Liu Guanyi learned, the Workshop had gained many benefits and advantages from the Zahard Empire and the ten great families parties as a payback for their favor and investment that they had granted to their leaders when they were young.
Although this didn't prove that the Workshop had malicious intent for the irregulars, it proved that they were cunning, especially since they had said that they wouldn't meddle in the politics but their actions and influence had proven otherwise.
Moreover, the current state of the tower was far different from dozens of thousand years ago, the first irregulars had become the ruling parties in the tower.
Every new irregular had the potential to change the whole political spectrum of the tower. Hence, if Liu Guanyi's identity was blown out, those ancient monsters definitely wouldn't stay their hands to destroy or control a dangerous potential that could shake the stability of their hegemony.
There were already many players on the board that competed among each other, adding another new player would just upset those old players.
Since most of the portions of the cake were already distributed among themselves as they fought for the rest of the cake, a new and weak competitor would simply be squashed for trying to take away their hard-fought portions of the cake.
Also, the Workshop could have changed its stance toward the irregulars after all these millennium had passed since the Genesis Era.
That was why Adori didn't want him to create his own forces because they had to bootlick those self-important nobles and stop themselves from growing too big or they would attract their ire and firepower, it was "their" tower after all.
Fortunately, the God of Guardians was impartial, and most importantly, he had lost contact with the Workshop, unable of informing of the appearance of a new irregular, thus, Liu Guanyi had reaped all the benefits without exposing himself!
This is why Liu Guanyi sometimes preferred a high risk and high reward opportunity to a safe one. Because when he succeeded, it was simply more satisfying as he reaped a great reward at once. Though this didn't mean that he disliked stable opportunities.
Liu Guanyi stood up and loosened his stiff body.
This was a sign as his body was extremely well built and wouldn't be stiff even after a long time of inactivity. "I wonder how long it's been since I started my Revolution?"
"Well, it has been around…"
. . . . . .
Outside the Rice Pot, Adori and Xin trained on their own as they waited for Liu Guanyi to emerge from the place.
Although they looked immersed in their training, their eyes glanced toward the big cone-like platform from time to time, anticipating the reappearance of Liu Guanyi.
It was almost one month, after all. They were worried since the God of Guardians seemed extremely powerful, but since Liu Guanyi had followed him on his own accord, they respected his decision.
Seemingly granting their wish, a figure leaped out of the Rice Pot and landed near them. Seeing this, relief instantly washed over them, Liu Guanyi was finally back!
"Long time no see, Princess Adori, Xin. I am sorry to make you wait for almost a month, I hope that you don't mind it, guys." Liu Guanyi said with a hint of guilt in his voice.
"You are my bro, Mr. Liu, even if it's a few years, I won't mind it." Xin spoke cheerfully, glad that he was back.
Liu Guanyi turned to look at Adori as he waited for her response. Her face was unreadable as she looked at Liu Guanyi calmly.
"As long as you explained what the God of Guardians talked about the other time, I will forgive your mistake this time." Adori seemed calm as she spoke this, however, her chilling and firm tone suggested otherwise.
Liu Guanyi let out a sigh, it seemed that Adori was upset over him keeping such an important, dangerous, and sensitive secret from her after all these years. However, considering her feelings and their good relationship they had built over the years, this was very reasonable.
It was already admirable of her to control herself very well. As expected of Adori Zahard, she was still calm and collected even when she was upset. Anyway, she had the right to know about it, after all Liu Guanyi had promised it himself.
"Alright, here take it. Oh, don't forget to destroy it instantly afterward." Liu Guanyi smiled as he gave each of them a piece of paper.
Adori and Xin weren't ready for the big surprise as their eyes instantly bulged out and glued at what was written unclearly on the papers. It couldn't be helped, because, on the papers, it was written…

"I am an irregular".
