"A bunch of peasants picking up knives, wanting to kill all the nobles?"

"Ridiculous!"

"Since ancient times, this has never been the norm. The foundations we've built through generations, why should they be taken by you?"

"Kill!"

"If you dare to brandish a knife and rob the grain, our heads aren't made of dough either. Cattle and horses that don't obey get whipped, and people with delusions risk losing their heads!"

At first, people across the land were terrified by this massacre. No one expected that someone would forsake seizing the world, ignore those noble families, and actually join the peasants to rob grain.

In the past, in various dynasties, there were instances of peasants pushed to madness starting uprisings, but they were often crushed. However, this Ming King secretly received support, breaking the old curse and causing an unprecedented upheaval.

But soon after, a suppression far fiercer than imagined ensued.

In the past, such matters were the empire's business. Now, without an empire, this suppression seems even more intense, like a fierce storm.

"They finally took action."

Simultaneously, while disasters were wreaking havoc, with ghostly gods unsettling the human world, there existed a place in balance, not receiving incense but always existing in the form of a temple, where countless Reincarnators gathered around the Shangjing Tieguanyin for a conversation.

"In the Southwest, there's been an outbreak of Rat Transformation Disease. It's not an epidemic but a curse on the living, causing them to turn into rats in dreams, losing sanity, forming groups, devouring people, causing chaos in a region."

"Now the Rat Transformation Disease has spread across various prefectures of the Southwest, turning an area of three thousand miles into the Rat Transformation Country, forcing the Mingzhou to head east."

"Heh, the Ming King banner was originally about killing the fat rats to protect the people, a slogan we inspired, now used by them to become demon-like."

"South of Huzhou, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, a change has occurred at Hanging Ridge. There is a Demon Mountain lurking within the mountains. If the troops aren't careful, they'll be captured, and called for help in vain, only to hang on the slopes."

"Now the left General Zhang Yanbei of the Food Protection Army, with ten thousand troops and thirty thousand conscripted laborers, has been consumed by this mountain."

"In the Northwest, nothing else is unusual, but the celestial phenomenon is strange. Wherever the Ming King goes, wind disasters, snow disasters, and rain disasters follow, now trapping the Ming King's two hundred thousand soldiers on Hu Lu Plain, with their fate hanging in the balance."

"In the Southeast, there is a curse that rots grain, transforming into madness disease."

"Initially, troops holding the Ming King's banner found grain rotting, meat decomposing; good grain turning into black water in a day, and live cattle dying in herds overnight."

"Some panicked, some considered it an illusion but ate the grain, the cattle, and became mad, killing indiscriminately."

"There were two hundred thousand soldiers of the Ming King there, now all turned mad, spreading towards Mingzhou Prefecture..."

"If not contained, within half a month, the Ming King's hometown might be ransacked."

"Heh, in the Northern Land, a simple case, the rise of the Long Hero King, who neither casts spells nor chants, simply brave and warlike, with countless fierce generals under his command, already annexed seven grasshead kings, forming a line."

"Now, he's sent three thousand elite soldiers directly targeting the Ming King, claiming to slay Ming King Yang Gong to rid the world of harm."

"..."

In today's world, with the Ming King initiating carnage, an unstoppable force, countless people responded from afar, slaying clans, seizing grain, yet the subsequent blows fell like rain, with endless strange events befalling the surplus army.

Speaking of the Ming King, he originally had a Food Protection Army, recognized by the people. But after this carnage, the name Food Protection Army wasn't acknowledged anymore.

Called bandits, or some directly called them the surplus army.

For others, such actions by the world would have shattered their spirit, but the Reincarnators secretly observed, quickly untangling the threads and realizing the five most dreadful spots in this disaster.

"Peeling and bone-changing, turning people into rats, this trick perhaps only the trickster understands."

After exchanging information, someone sneered, "The Southwest Fuyao King is supported by the Divine Hand Zhao Family."

"Under his command is the Iron Wing Army, said to fly by night with the wind, shooting arrows from mid-air, killing enemies."

"While they caused the Rat Transformation Disease, they've also organized a festival at the Jiushui Temple in the Southwest, gathering talented performers from various places."

"To break this Rat Transformation Disease, one must first disrupt their Jiushui Hundred Gods Festival."

"..."

Following him, someone gravely spoke, "South of Huzhou, lies the Ten Thousand Mountains, beyond them is the ancestral land of the Guanshan Zhu Family."

"The Demon Mountain tale of Hanging Ridge, though sinister, is manageable for the Zhu Family. It's rumored that the highest magic of the Witchcraft is the Mountain Awakening Skill, capable of awakening mountains for use."

"To break this Mountain Awakening Skill, someone needs to visit the Guanshan Zhu Family."

"..."

"The disaster in the Northwest is the doing of King Fuyi."

Slightly lagging, someone spoke of the cause of Ming King Yang Gong's current plight: "It's for the Benefit of the Sun Family, specializing in inviting disasters to weaken fortunes, raised by them as King Fuyi."

"This shouldn't be underestimated. The Benefit Sun Family, when they act, it's a ruthless move that cuts off progeny. Even the brothers of the Hu Family's Old White almost died under their disasters."
