"So this is how it is..."

Hu Ma quietly listened to Miss Red Wine, his heart surging with emotions, although his face remained calm.

He simply worried earlier, not knowing how many Reincarnators would want to involve themselves in the affairs of the human world.

Not even knowing how many would come to help against the Li Family.

Turns out, he had underestimated them.

It's not just about whether they participate or not, but rather, they understand things in a deeper and more thorough way than he does.

From an objective standpoint, the issue Monkey Wine proposed about a duel with the Ten Surnames was already the most rational and clever approach, but Tieguanyin saw the flaw in this proposal from the very beginning.

This woman is also very domineering; once she realized this flaw, she made another decision secretly, avoiding the divergence of energy and internal dissent.

This can only be achieved by someone who deeply understands and integrates into this world.

Back in Shangjing City, he had guessed that Tieguanyin was hiding something, but didn't expect it to be this.

His mindset had actually been problematic all along; after understanding his origins, he considered himself as the host, while others are guests, hence being cautious. But Tieguanyin, with her decision now, conveyed this to him: Mistaken.

Reincarnators may disdain, may be arrogant, but deep down, how many of them truly keep themselves detached from this world?

Brother Er Guotou has a Little Red Lantern.

Monkey Wine has his sister Wuya.

Even sweet potato has her brothers and sisters.

In some ways, their entanglements with the world's cause are greater than his.

Considering these issues, the turmoil in Hu Ma's heart gradually subsided as he turned to look toward the Bloodstain Pond, seeing Yang Gong's shadow now clear, whereas the shadow of the God-given King had already collapsed.

Currently, the only one barely maintaining his shadow in the Bloodstain Pond is the Evil Servant, though this doesn't mean Yang Gong's killing intent has surpassed theirs.

It's purely because the great calamity in the human world, caused by Yang Gong, led the Bloodstain Pond reflecting the human world to naturally change.

One can only say, compared to what Yang Gong is about to represent, the killing intent of others is insignificant.

He also understands what Yang Gong will face, naturally feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

But with Tai Sui's impending arrival, everyone bears a burden on their shoulders, so there's not much more to say; there's just respect.

"So, who is this person?"

Meanwhile, at the Bloodstain Pond, the Evil Servant kept staring at Yang Gong's shadow for a long time.

Being in the same Bloodstain Pond, although he didn't recognize Yang Gong, he seemed to sense something in him, staring intently with a curious expression.

For a long time, from his numb face, a smile slowly emerged, turning to Hu Ma and saying, "He is different from others."

Hu Ma nodded lightly, saying, "He's someone who doesn't accept fate."

"Between heaven and earth, there is fate; some people's fate is light, some people's fate is shallow. In disaster, those with lighter fate die first; in fortune, those with heavier fate enjoy it first, but he doesn't accept this."

"So he doesn't accept it, but he actually has a chance to change himself from someone with lighter fate to someone with heavier fate."

"Yet he doesn't take this chance; he picks up a knife to cut down those with heavier fate who believe they deserve it, one by one..."

"..."

The Evil Servant finds these words difficult to comprehend.

Not being part of the Path, he couldn't understand the severity of fate, furrowing his brow to ponder to grasp the meaning.

His eyes gradually brightened, and a rare joyful smile broke through his usually numb face, suddenly looking up at Hu Ma, saying, "Is there a place to forge a knife?"

He raised the two severed pieces of his broken knife, saying, "I want to forge the knife well, then go find him."

"Go to Quzhou to seek the Food Protection Army."

Hu Ma nodded to him and said, "The army has a blacksmith who will help you forge your knife."

"Good!"

The Evil Servant said no more, just sat down in the Bloodstain Pond, his shadow gradually faded, presumably waking up from the human world.

As for what he would become after finding Yang Gong with his broken knife, it's up to him.

"A great calamity that overturns the heavens and the earth..."

Hu Ma sighed in his heart, "Even the Evil Servant can be subdued, let alone others?"

This great calamity is much wiser than the previously agreed duel with the Ten Surnames, but speaking logically, this calamity does not violate the agreement with the Ten Surnames.

After all, the duel was agreed to determine victory; now, this is also a duel, except that the Ten Surnames thought it would be decided at the level of Magic, whereas the Reincarnators' perspective is much broader than they imagined.

At this point, he doesn't even have to worry about the outcome.

Hu Ma, at this moment by the Bloodstain Pond, could feel the surging blood qi in the pond, gazing back at the human world, using the rolling yin qi from the underworld, he could even sense the human world's fate, feeling the grandeur of the overwhelming calamity.

In this matter, the Reincarnators did far better than him.

So, what about himself now?

His gaze inadvertently fell on Miss Red Wine who was ready to leave, and on Er Guotou beside him, whose face seemed somewhat sullen.
