Heroic Death System (Bl)

⁹°¹⁵

Ever since Shang Ke's identity had been exposed, the Shu Clan who had previously opened shops in the city had since moved out. The Imperial Yi Clan had not expelled them as of yet, but they already knew that there was no way that they could proudly stay there in the future. Therefore, the Chief summoned the entire clan to discuss what direction they should proceed in.

The entire clan did not want to give up their currently comfortable lifestyles. After they left this place, they would have to continue migrating around again.

"If it weren't for the Evil God deceiving us, how could we have fallen so low?" A young man angrily shouted.

"Yes, we wouldn't have trusted him if we knew that he was the Evil God!" Another person joined in.

"It wasn't easy for us to gain all this wealth. Now, we've lost everything thanks to the Evil God."

The furious crowd all let out resentful statements one after the other.

Suddenly, the sound of a teacup crashing to the ground quieted the unruly crowd down.

Tima stood up with a cold expression in her eyes as her eyes swept across the crowd. "What was the reason behind our Shu Clan living so well up till this point?"

"It's only because of the fruits me and a few children playfully left behind for Uno! However, God Uno still drove away the beasts and provided us a safe environment to live in all due to these worthless fruits."

"I can't deny that he's an Evil God. However, have you ever thought about the fact that our faithfulness can't increase his strength? However, he still didn't hesitate to patiently teach us life skills like forging, cooking, medicine, and music.... What god would help his believers so passionately?"

"If it weren't for him, we'd still be wandering around the mountains, struggling to survive, and being isolated from others. It was all because of him that we have faith, a home, skills, and wealth. However, the most important thing he gave us was dignity!"

"We took all the benefits he provided us but we ended up turning on backs on him and resenting him." Tima broke out crying as she shouted, "Don't you feel ashamed at all?"

Everyone lowered their heads in silence.

After a bit of time, a man whispered, "But he's an Evil God...."

"Why does that matter?" Tima snapped at them, "Has he ever done anything wrong to us? Has he ever harmed us? No! He's been silently guarding us and helping us. No matter who he is, I'm willing to believe in him. Even if I have to give up my life for my faith, I'm willing to do so."

Everyone felt ashamed when they noticed the resoluteness on Tima's face. For several years, they relied on one another, but they gave up on their own god just because they were isolated from others and criticized by them. Tima did make a point that their sacrifices would not mean much to an Evil God who had urges to kill. However, he still attempted to protect them. The Evil God from the legends may be awful, but their patron saint by the name of Uno was the one who gave their lives a new meaning.

Even though the hatred in their hearts lessened, there were still many people who remained fickle. After all, they were too honest and naive to have an Evil God as their protector. They had long ago determined what was right and wrong. Therefore, it wouldn't be easy for them to change their mindset.

That night, many people from the Shu Clan tossed and turned as they found it hard to sleep. Some got out of their beds and took a nightly run to relax their minds.

The terraced fields belonging to the Shu Clan could be seen under the starry night sky. The flourishing grains indicated a bumper harvest in the near future.
