in mkshaolijn monks at very start of the opening movie the narrator's voice says that if Kahn wins 10 mk consecutely he will conquer the realm.
In the first mk game is stated that goro have a 9 MK tournament winning streak,interrupted by Liu Kang.
So it's true,for conquer a realm Kahn have to won 10 tournament first.
However he can also conquer a realm by militar assault.
during deceptioj sub-game Konquest we see Kahn's army in edenia.
so kahn have two ways to try to conquer a realm:
1)win 10 tournaments
2)defeating in war.

I thank you so much for helping me to demistify this. But in the documents I checked out, it specified wise men in China had visions of Kahn invading Edenia and conquering it, so Mortal Kombat was started to prevent Kahn from taking over.

So would that mean instead of the blood of war it would just be one of those mono y mono things to spare the world of war?

it can be,however it's not specific in any documents.
Mortal Kombat is some kind of rules created by the elder gods for defend realms by kahn (and maybe for prevent the retunr of Onaga).
However we don't know who asks to elder gods to create MK and we really don't know why Shao Kahn accepted this rule from the elder gods.
anyway he can send his army on a realm,examples are edenia and earthealm.
however mk-tournament NOW are nonsensed:every villain have his own allies/army (shinnok,quanchi&shang tsung,Onaga) so it's useness use a tournament for settle the fate of a realm.
now MK is a war between two oppsite sides:GOOD AND EVIL!
fights follows the same identical way Mk Annhiliation(tough the movie isn't canon).
Good guy fights against bad guys without rules or particular order,they fight just for their survival or he fate of te realm.
howevr some time can happen one on one fights or tournaments:
1)one on one fights are settled before the final assault (example sonya,Cage and Jax fights against trkatans and instead kung lao and kitana have a one o one fight against shang tsung and quan chi.i tal about MKDA).
2)tournaments:aren't important,are sidestories:Li Mei'touraments in DA for example.
the last useful tournament was mk2.
i hope is clear now.

Ok we know it Outworld won 10 MK tournaments then either the portal from Outworld to Earth would open thus allowing invasion (as per MK: A I know not cannon but just as a example) or Outworld automatically gets dominion over Earthrealm.

But what would happer if Earth should win those 10 tournaments? (Unlikely with the storyline but just for a moment think about it.) Would Outworld then become part of Earth? Or would those same portals that Earth has been trying to hard to keep close still open?

hard to explain,very hard,if you can should ask to john vogel.
however ladyraiden this is the second time you put me in the corner,in other words good question:i think(my personal toughts,nothing CANON) that MK tournaments were created to prevent the return of onaga and try to stop(or at least give a chance to do it) Shao Kahn.Noone is interested to conquer other realms,except for kahn and onaga.maybe quan chi and shang tsung,but they aren't strong enough to do this.
my idea is:if earthrealm wins ten tournaments will NEVER treated again by outworld,just like some sort of shield.a seal that can stop Shao Kahn and his army. i don't think that earthrealm want to absorb outworld.
howver is never explained what happens after (i put here a huge "IF") the 10 winning streak.

I think it is not about losses. If Earthrealm loses 10 tournaments or 100 it doesn't matter, just as long as Outworld, Netherealm, Edenia or any other realm doesn't win 10 in a row.

If Eathrealm wins 10 in a row it means nothing, if it wins 100 in a row it still means nothing. Sort of like a defensive thing, it just means Eathrealm is safe from invasion from another 30-50 years (or another generation).

yo everyone i made a site to tribute mortal kombat if you get a chance go to www.mortalkombattribute.piczo.com

Someone boot the dork plugging his website for spamming.

second time i read it.
your site need to be improved and this is definitely spam.

You must know that the Games differentiate from the Movies


In the Movies Edenia is Outworld. Kahn's warriors won all 10 MKs to gain access to the realm. earth is the next so he has to repeat the process of winning 10 Consecutive Tournaments.

In the Games Storyline, i guess Kahn conquered every realm directly. But Once he reached Earth the Wise men pleaded for the Elder Gods to set something and and it was for this reason that the Elder Gods created the tournament of Mortal Kombat

But even in the movies, the rules are made by the Elder Gods. According to Conquest series, the only thing that Winning 10 MK's would allow the conqueror to invade the Earth Realm, but that's all, he would still have to fight to gain control of it. However, the Elder Gods don't really care either, it seems, since they let Kahn break the rules.

Everything the Elder Gods do is to prevent The One Being from coming back. Mortal Kombat is just the tool to do that. The Elder Gods can't just snatch some tyrant off of the realms - they can't interfere with life like that. They also can't favor one realm over another. But they knew that if Kahn got too powerful, he would unknowingly awaken the One Being - so they made Mortal Kombat. This way they wouldn't be interfering with the mortals' lives, as they'd be fighting it out themselves, and at the same time the unpredictability of who the victors would be would help to stave off a realm conquering another for centuries, maybe never. Before MK, a realm could just enter another realm and conquer it. Not anymore.

In reading that last post I have another great question. How is it that Chinese wise men would prevent an invasion of Earthrealm? What power over nature and reality would they have? Unless it was merely to present their greatest warrior as crowned by Moral Kombat to lead Earth's forces against any invasion.

Basically, it went something like this.

• The Chinese wise men appealed to the Elder Gods
  
• Mortal Kombat was introduced to them
  
• They trained Earth warriors to fight off the Outworlders
  
• The Outworlders had to win 10 MK's in a row to invade; but thanks to the Chinese wise men and their training people in martial arts to prepare for this the Outworlders could never accomplish this, even though Shang Tsung and the Outworlders participated in the MK tournaments they couldn't win 10 in a row.
