Hong Meng’s smile stiffened. He sat down on the chair and fidgeted. “Actually… I did try that, but…”

He trailed off mid-sentence and shrank back in his chair. He looked so guilty that his chin was nearly touching the ground.

Lonemoon hesitated. Something clicked in his head. He finally figured something out. “You didn’t get beaten up by all of them, did you?”

“…” Hong Meng’s head sank lower.

“Holy shit! And you really lost?” Wasn’t he an ancient god? He was even more shameful than Fatty!

“B-B-Boss…” Hong Meng’s face flushed red as his eyes darted around the room, as if looking for somewhere he could hide his face in. “When they entered Samsara, they had the intention of suppressing all the other races, so… So they brought their cultivations along with them.”

“So…” Lonemoon jumped to his feet. “Those 12 people still have the cultivations of ancient gods?”

“Y-Y-Yes…”

“Heh heh, goodbye!” Lonemoon turned around and started to walk out of the room.

“No!” Hong Meng clung onto his leg and turned to Shen Ying. “You promised you would help me out.”

“Go and beg her – what are you clinging onto me for?” Lonemoon tried to shake him off, but failed. “She was the one who promised you, so go to her instead. Ask her to help you locate all 12 of them. You were the one who created this mess. I’m washing my hands off this.”

12…

Shen Ying, who had been gnawing on her fruit, paused. She seemed to sense that she was in trouble. Thus, she stood up and said seriously, “Father Niu is right. We’re washing our hands off this. Chef, let’s go back and cook!”

“Yes Master, no problem Master!”

Hong Meng: “…” Didn’t they say they would help him?

“This is more than just a slip in procedure – it’s caused by the birth of spiritual awareness, isn’t it?” Fatty suddenly spoke up.

Hong Meng paused and turned to face him.

“What do you mean?”

“Aren’t they the first batch of living creatures to have spiritual awareness in this realm?” Fatty asked matter-of-factly. “Let’s put that problem with the mixed auras aside. Be it demonic beasts or humans, without any guidance, they would not naturally know about the system. As much as the original source may be contaminated with waste auras, the most that would affect is the quality of their bodies,” Fatty continued. “Because nobody would have been around to tell them right from wrong.”

Even if the Heavenly Dao wanted to punish them from above, they would not even understand where they went wrong. So it was not a proper system that they were missing, but people who would teach them what the system was about.

Hong Meng stared blankly at him. That was indeed the case. The 12 ancient gods entered Samsara to try to lead the races to cultivate properly and end the mess. However, they too ended up on the wrong path.

“But I’m afraid that if I keep interfering…” He was really afraid that he would end up causing more trouble instead. Things were messy enough as they were.

“Isn’t your main aim just to get the system up and running?” Fatty was not as worried as Hong Meng was. “Things can’t get any worse than they are now. Why don’t you just tell them what they’re meant to do?”

“Huh?” Hong Meng was absolutely confused. What was this man talking about?
