Getting some serious Tower of God vibes going here. If possible I hope they don't go and destroy the whole series with this Lost storytelling. Never answering questions and only creating more. We still don't even know who the hell the MC wanted to kill for his mother or who the hell the Chief was at the chapter 20 season 1 end. Something about Grows being cured and woke up. Looks like they are veteran warriors or something.
Now that I think on it more this is exactly like what killed Tower of God. Literally dumb background information about some outside plot that isn't coming for 200+ chapters or literally never because the author could get sick one day and call the whole story off. The only reason I know whats Noah's deal is because of Peerless Dad being so awesome I came over to this crap to get the Tower of God treatment looking for Best Dad.
Unresolved Unmentioned Background Story Plots & Dumb shit:
- The Veteran Warrior Chief carving MC Mother Statues.
- MC wants to kill a guy to have revenge. Largely Forgotten.
- Wuxia Masters from China are starting to appear and be named in a large number.
- Spellcaster Tribe Coup during Warrior Trial. The Ghost guy never came back and did a thing. The leaders did a walk off vanish which looked like time travel but instead they just magically showed up at some Tower of Pride or some shit with some old lady with a damn crystal ball.
- Was the fucking chaos dragon supposed to show up at the end of the 7th trial to push the others out so the MC could take the 8th trial that only one was allowed to take or was the dragon the 8th? What the hell happened at the end of the damn trial. They literally timeskipped back home and then flashbacked to Red Storm creation the next chapter after that. No one is gonna question that the whole spellcaster tribe just died or vanished? The literal only Neutral tribe in the entire desert and the one running their most prestigious Warrior Trial?
- Who the hell was running the trials after the 6th? The Little Judge was making the trials but they said only Veritas passed the 8th yet they are randomly created each time and yet secret?
- The Kingdom is pressuring the Desert Tribes but they mentioned some Desert Blades and a Super Desert Man Veritas or some shit that should be handling this exact kind of thing.
- How did Noah not find or run into this Onmyo mage while they were living in the Monster Field core?
- How many times are we gonna have someone tell the MC the fox is special and him never inquire further?
I don't want answers from fellow readers. I want the story to tell me like its supposed to.

@Drinkfist The one carving the statues is the one that MC wants to kill. He's the leader of that other force from a different tribe. The one that was probably at war with them around the time his mother got killed. There's a practice where people responsible for the death of someone where you carve statues that I've seen in another martial arts series, so that whole thing is probably related.
The spellcaster tribe uprising was summarily put down before it even properly started by MC's master. The woman saying she's going to give the warrior challenge participants their rewards now is going to wrap up the loose ends from that right now. That's what she's talking about.
The dragon was summoned by the idiots doing the uprising, and that fucked up this seal.
The one running the trials was one of the knobs MC's master took out.
The person you're saying should be defending the MC's tribe from the kingdom, is literally the person the MC wants to kill, and is in another tribe that is historically on terrible terms with the MC's tribe. No, he isn't going to help them with this.
I'd say fair point on the mage, but the seal was probably not in danger back then so they might not have been camping out on top of it back then. The dragon is the one that damaged it and now the mage guy can't get his buddies to show up and help fix it.
This is all from my reading this up to this very chapter. The story did tell us this stuff even if not in so many words sometimes, like the sudden cut to the guy carving statues. That's probably a cultural difference thing I guess, you wouldn't necessarily be familiar with that practice without being familiar with various religions from Asia and weird things done in some of them that you almost never hear about even in series about the countries there. Like I said, I'm familiar with it because another thing I've read did have that in it, and that one actually went into detail about it.

@Glomoro Well I read far more from the time I made this post and I can say with total confidence that this the same style as Tower of God. I know most of these answers now after reading 200+ chapters further from this point but now like I pointed out I have double the questions. Every time something gets answered they add two mysteries. The story has cumulative upkeep and cannot sustain any kind of meaningful resolution because at my point in the story there is about five stories going on that have nothing to do with each other and pile on more and more unresolved questions that get slowly and painfully revealed.
This kind of writing isn't for me and is the exact reason I dropped Tower of God. The author is playing multi dimensional writing and I hate it. Hell there is two world dimensions here and he is writing five stories at once. This got so amazingly bloated that he split off Peerless Dad which is a story about Noah's China Dimension where his friend had an apprentice that had kids.
Think about the case of Lord of the Rings where there is a single clear story progressing with a clear objective and all the world building that it could sustain was done within the story. Outside of that the more wild stories, angels, gods and kings are told though other works as they were not needed to understand the main story that is Lord of the Rings. The Main character here had a drive to get stronger to kill his mother's killer but all of that is largely forgotten because there is too much going on. Here Frodo you gotta take this cursed ring and toss it into the volcano then Frodo says right after the fellowship is formed that he wants to go deal with Melkor and defeat the remaining Belrogs scattered across middle earth. During or after that we will take care of this Sauron guy and do something with this ring or whatever what was I supposed to be doing again? That is what this feels like. Our hero went into the adventures guild with a clear mission and then literally took every quest off the board and walked out the door to work all of them at once.

@Drinkfist It is certainly a lot of things all going on at the same time no matter how many things do get resolved. I was just answering to some of the questions here as best as I could on a binge through the chapters leading up to this one because with all the different things going on at the same time, and all the translation flip flops this series has, I'd be surprised if anyone else wasn't unsure about some of those exact same things when they got to here because it's a lot to keep track of and it's not even always calling the same thing by the same name.
