Superstar From Age 0 - Chapter 759

Chapter 759

[-May you be blessed-]

[(Heavenly) God Jeruel’s blessing is activated.]

Silence descended on the whole world, along with a blessing that only Seo-jun could see.

Ever since the statue of the supreme god moved, the people who had been speechless stared at the front with wide eyes. 

It was the same for those who were watching the scene live, as well as those who were watching through their phones, computers, and TVs (Sprouts: Let’s watch it big).

There was no exception.

They just gazed blankly.

Amid the soundless awe of the people, the supreme god who bestowed the blessing turned his body and walked back to his seat. 

The two guardian statues who were standing next to him, and the six lower gods, also got up and headed to their seats.

Everything that had unfolded before their eyes was so dreamlike that they returned to the exact same state as before they moved.

Ding- Ding- Ding- Three clear bell sounds rang.

The priest bowed and said.

“This was the collaborative project of the acting, art, and stage art departments, The Temple. Thank you.”

The two high school students and the art department juniors who were lucky enough to watch from the first to the third performance were the first to come to their senses and clapped their hands with bright faces. 

They couldn’t help but applaud the performance that seemed to get more amazing every time they watched.

The people who regained their senses also clapped their palms until they hurt. And there was also a huge cheer that shook the whole Han Ye University.

It was the same across the camera.

-Crazy!! This is crazy!!

-Ahhhh!! I should have watched it live

=It’s already amazing just watching it live!

-/Only Koreans get to enjoy this kind of thing!/

=/We can’t see it!/

From the moment the supreme god statue moved, the YouTube chat room was filled with admiration, exclamation, and screaming that had been piled up. 

The firepower was already great before the performance, but now it seemed to be going up at a speed that was several times faster. 

As if it would explode at any moment-

“Oh, it exploded.”

At the words of Hwang Do-yoon, who was watching the YouTube channel [JUN], the [Temple] team rushed into the waiting tent. Everyone saw the YouTube screen that had turned completely black.

Seo-jun, who was drinking water to moisten his throat, smiled and said.

“Well, at least it exploded after the performance ended.”

“That’s true.”

“That was close.”

Hwang Ji-yoon and Hwang Do-yoon also nodded and smiled.

“Hey, this is not the time to laugh, is it?”

“Isn’t it a big deal if it doesn’t recover?”

The [Temple] team, who was flustered, made the [Fire] team, who had worked with Seo-jun before, laugh with their peaceful faces.

‘They don’t know much about Seo-jun’s influence yet.’

To be precise, the reaction of the fans and the audience who watched Seo-jun’s performance.

They couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the juniors who were panicking, which reminded them of themselves in the past, who had been frantic with all kinds of interviews and filming requests, video income offers, and contacts from acquaintances after screening [Fire].

“Don’t worry. YouTube will take care of it.”

Oh Dong-yoon, who was a member of the prop team of [Fire] before and now the leader of the prop team of [Temple], chuckled and said.

“That’s right. They must be in a mess over there.”

Park Min-hyung, the leader of the art team who had done the play [Mirror] and [MOEB-436] together, agreed.

Exactly.

On YouTube’s official SNS, numerous comments started to appear in various languages.

-/Hurry up and fix it./

-There’s still time until 2 o’clock, so it should be possible, right?

-/Of course. There’s still 30 minutes left/

-Not exactly 30 minutes. You have to finish it 2-3 minutes before, so we can wait with anticipation!

-/Oh! That’s right!/

-Recoverrecoverrecoverrecover

-/Recoverrecoverrecoverrecover/

“They’re all different languages, but… they’re communicating well.”

“Isn’t it because of the translation function?”

“But looking at the speed of the comments, it seems like they’re not pressing the translation button. It feels like they’re just understanding each other.”

“…That seems to be the case.”

They didn’t know if they could really speak different languages, or if they were just guessing by intuition. But looking at the conversations that continued even though they were using their own languages, they seemed to be amazing in many ways.

-/Let’s blow up YouTube’s headquarters!!/

=/22 How can they not be prepared properly!?/

-No way!! We have to watch until the 3 o’clock performance!!

=/Right! There are still 2 o’clock and 3 o’clock performances left!/

=/We can blow up YouTube later!/

-Wait a minute! If you blow up YouTube, what about Seo-jun’s videos?! His growth record from childhood to now!?

=/222 Blowing up YouTube is too much. We have to protect Jun’s videos./

-Phew. It survived. YouTube.

=/Tsk. See you next time./

Seo-jun laughed as he saw the comments that wanted to blow up YouTube’s headquarters right away, the comments that said they couldn’t do it now and would blow it up after the 3 o’clock performance, and the comments that shouted against the explosion, saying what about Seo-jun’s videos in YouTube?! He put down his phone.

“Let’s all rest comfortably until the 2 o’clock performance.”

“Yes!”

The [Temple] team members answered cheerfully to Seo-jun’s words.

Unlike the fiery atmosphere outside, it was a harmonious tent inside.

***

“The 1 o’clock performance was good too, right?”

“Yup yup.”

The two high school students and the sister who bought drinks and snacks from the temporary cafe run by Han Ye University students sat on a nearby bench and filled their stomachs while chatting about this and that.

The three of them only had the 1 o’clock admission tickets, so they couldn’t watch the remaining two performances, but instead they had [Blessing Tickets] 3 pieces, which allowed them to watch the last performance at 3 o’clock.

“You should know that it’s all thanks to me.”

“If I hadn’t called my sister, she wouldn’t have seen Seo-jun oppa!”

The younger sister looked smug, but

She was right.

‘But I got to see Seo-jun!’

She was a fan of Blue Moon, but she became a sprout after Seo-jun participated in the song [Blue Moon].

Of course, since he was not an idol who had many events, but an actor, she couldn’t take pictures even if she had a camera (a big camera). 

Tears blurred her vision, and the sister who was a fan of Blue Moon and a sprout looked up at the sky.

“Sister! Show me the pictures you took!”

“Okay.”

The sister sent the pictures to her younger sister and her friend’s phones.

“Wow, professionals are different!”

They couldn’t help but exclaim as soon as they saw the pictures. 

The composition, the direction, and even the natural light. 

It was too well taken to say that it was taken on the spot without any editing.

“It’s because the model is so good.”

“The lower gods also took great pictures, right? They could pass as promotional photos for Greek temple tourism.”

The sister shrugged her shoulders at her brother’s admiration.

“Uh, but…?”

The brother’s friend blinked his eyes.

“Doesn’t the temple look a bit different from before?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

The brother and sister turned their faces toward the brother’s friend. 

They looked very alike, probably because they were siblings.

“Look at this. In the first performance, the temple only had pillars, but in the third performance, there were decorations on the pillars.”

“Oh, you’re right.”

As the friend said, there were small decorations on the temple’s pillars. 

They were small, but they matched the pillars well.

“The gods’ costumes also seem to be getting more and more splendid.”

“And paper scrolls appeared too, right? One of the guardian gods was holding only paper scrolls.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

What was going on?

They were not the only ones who were curious. There were many people on the internet who wondered the same thing.

-(Pictures of the 11 o’clock performance)(Pictures of the 12 o’clock performance)(Pictures of the 1 o’clock performance)

=The decorations are small, so they don’t stand out much, but they are changing gradually. The costumes of the main god and the lower gods are also different.

=22 There must be something going on.

=33 I don’t know what it is.

-Hmm. I have a rough guess…

=Oh? What is it?

=It will be clear if you watch the 2 o’clock performance.

And then, YouTube was restored, and the [Temple Project]’s 2 o’clock performance began.

The people who had become somewhat familiar with the 1 o’clock performance (although they still gasped involuntarily) examined the temple and the gods in the video.

The temple was now noticeably more splendid.

The small decorations had grown bigger, and some parts had gold decorations as well. The fountain also seemed to have become more ornate, and the chairs where the gods sat had more luxurious decorations.

In contrast to the scenery, the lower gods had placed their respective symbols on their laps, and sat on their chairs, looking at the paper scrolls in their hands with serious expressions. 

The guardian gods also now held trays full of rolled-up paper scrolls, like secretaries.

In the middle of them, the statue of the main god.

The main god had the same expression as in the third performance, but a little more rigid and solemn, looking at the paper scroll in his hand. Around the statue of the main god, there were white paper scrolls scattered messily, either spread out or rolled up.

And then, ding- a clear bell rang.

The main god who descended to the ground still had a gentle smile, and bestowed blessings on his believers.

-I think I know.

=What is it?

=+)It seems like the temple is prospering as the number of believers increases.

=?

=+)You know, in comics or novels, there is usually a setting that the god’s power grows as the number of believers increases, right? So, the people there and the viewers who are watching on YouTube are the believers of that main god. As the number of them increases, the temple and the statues become more prosperous and splendid.

=+)Maybe there is also a setting that a lot of donations are coming in, I guess.

=It’s like that in Greek mythology too. That’s why they start wars and offer sacrifices and stuff. They also have their own cities to rule.

-Then what are the paper scrolls? They look like modern people who are busy with work.

=+)That’s probably right. The believers must be praying a lot, so it must be hard to handle them all.

=Lol I prayed without realizing it too lol When I saw the picture of the baby angel lol

=Me too lol lol My name must be on those paper scrolls too lol

=I suddenly feel sorry lol lol lol

-Ah, ah, no! Wait a minute! Seo Jun sees my wish?! That unspeakable wish?!

=I cancel my wish!! Cancel! Cancel! Spit spit spit!!

=Please erase my name from the paper scrolls quickly

=The newbies are having a collective mental breakdown

=What the hell did you guys wish for lol lol lol

-I’m fine. I just wished that I wouldn’t cry when I see Shae Anna.

=Main god: (serious expression) This is something I can’t grant.

=Shit

-So the 11 o’clock performance was when there were no believers, and now it’s hard because there are too many believers lol lol lol lol

=22 Seems like it.

-Then what about the 3 o’clock performance?

=+)It will either be more prosperous and splendid, or corrupted and ruined.

=It’s a disaster…!

=If that happens, we can use ‘Seo Jun did Seo Jun’ in a different way too.

=The ending is despair anyway.

=The ending is sadness anyway.

=The ending is tears anyway.

=You guys are so united, are you moviegoers?

=Aren’t you a moviegoer yourself, explaining all this?

Ouch.

The explainer (A.K.A moviegoer) who was typing hard shook his hands.

He was quick-witted.

Anyway.

As the explanation spread, the curiosity and expectation for the 3 o’clock performance grew.

People thought that there might be a deep meaning behind Seo Jun’s performance, which they thought was just a performance art. The reporters wrote articles enthusiastically, and those articles attracted people.

-YouTube: Save… me…

=You should do it in English.

=YouTube: H…ELP…

=You should do it in English lol lol

While YouTube was stuttering but working hard, the [Temple Project]’s last 3 o’clock performance began.

Ding-

With a clear bell sound, the curtain went up.

Wow!

Anyone could see and feel that the temple had become splendid.

From the ceiling of the temple, colorful lights like stained glass poured down, and the inside of the temple was full of gold decorations. 

There were beautiful gold strings connecting the temple pillars with splendid decorations, and the fountain was spouting glittering water that looked like it had gold dust mixed in.

The chairs where the lower gods sat also had gold decorations, and the chair and the surroundings where the main god sat were full of sparkling gold ornaments.

The gods’ costumes were also like that.

They had gold brooches on their shoulders and chests, and gold decorations on their hair.

And the symbols of the lower gods also seemed to be made of gold.

The bouquet of the god of love, the palette and brush of the god of art, the sword of the god of strength, the book of the god of learning, the lyre of the god of music, the script of the god of acting.

Everything was shining and beautiful.

-Is it corruption?

=No, no, look closely.

But it was different when you looked closely.

The symbols of the lower gods were on the floor. The hands and knees where the symbols had been before were full of paper scrolls. Their expressions also looked tired and exhausted.

If the lower gods were like that, what about the main god?

The main god, who wore a beautiful laurel wreath made of gold leaves and stems, and a white cloth with delicate gold embroidery, had one hand on his forehead, frowning and looking at the paper scroll in his hand.

His posture was also more slouched than in the previous performances, leaning on the back of the chair, as if he was seriously pondering something. 

The statue looked cold, but it seemed even colder, almost chilly.

-Main god: (thinking about how to deal with the corrupted humans.)

=It really looks like that lol lol lol

-It’s a relief that he has his eyes closed. If he opened his eyes, it would be the Jin Natra ending.

=Lol Jin Natra ending lol lol

-Ah, ah, ah. Am I the only one who is attracted by that look?

=No, no, me too.

=I smell an adult from Seo Jun… He was an adult already, but still!

=Please sell me that statue!!(Bang!!)

=222 Kyaaa!!(I won’t go home unless you sell it!!)

-This time, he might curse instead of bless…

=222 Are those 30 people okay?

-It’s a disaster after all…!

=Despair!

=Doom!
