But when Liu Kang, so we got to get there in a second.

Liu Kang is greeted by an assembly of monks in red robes, including his grandfather, who is some kind of authority figure for this organization that the movie calls the Order of Light.

So I think the backstory is that

Liu Kang and his brother Chan were trained in Kung Fu by the Order of Light, and they were brought up to defend the realm of Earth in the Tournament of Mortal Kombat.

So the lore of the tournament and the lore of the movie is already known to Liu Kang.

He was brought up in it.

He was always taught this.

But...

Liu Kang rejected and ran away from his destiny and went to America.

So he became a skeptic.

And now he believes the whole premise is nonsense.

So in his absence, his brother Chan took his place as the designated heir to fight in the tournament.

And Chan fought in the last tournament.

He was killed in the fighting, and the monks found his body on the grounds of the temple.

And so

Yeah, we need you for one last mission.

That was a long time ago, General.

But so Liu Kang tells his grandfather about the dream he had, and this is interpreted as a sign.

The dream means that he is now once again the chosen one to defend humankind at the Tournament of Mortal Kombat.

Liu Kang is skeptical of this stuff about the dream and the magic.
