At night, a half moon hangs alone in the sky, and the bluish-white moonlight makes the world feel lonely and cold.

Inside the camp, the wolf demons on duty at night were either squatting on the watchtower or lying in the wild. They raised their heads with great excitement, looking at the half-moon in the sky and howling loudly.

When one wolf howls, a hundred wolves will follow, a thousand wolves will respond, and then tens of thousands of wolf demons will join in. The wolf howls rise and fall, and the long howls can be heard over a hundred miles away with the night wind.

Next to the camp, a white river rolled by.

In a secluded little bay by the river, Chu Tian squatted by the water, quietly looking at his reflection on the tranquil water surface.

The moonlight reflected on the water, and the reflection was very blurry, and only the outline of Chu Tian's facial features could be barely seen. Occasionally, a fish in the small bay jumped up in panic, and the water surface shook a few times, and the reflection also fluctuated and suddenly broke into countless small pieces.

"Hey, you're not somebody. Never were."

"Remember, you are not a savior. This is about saving the people of this world. Obviously, you don't have this ability."

"You have never been someone who is ambitious and wants to do something earth-shattering. You are very ordinary, very common. Apart from a little bit of paranoia and a little bit of ridiculous sense of justice in your heart, you are actually just a nobody."

"You don't really pursue much. A house to shelter you from the wind and rain, a piece of land to grow vegetables, a gentle and considerate wife, and a little spare money to support one or two children. This is what you desire most in your heart, a small, real happiness."

"Of course, people can't just live for the sake of living. There should be some spiritual pursuits. So, you value your brothers, but you know that your abilities are limited, and you can't bear too much brotherly love."

"So, you value Agou, Aque, and the brothers around you who came from the old village together. You also know that your ability can only barely bear the life and death of these brothers."

"A hundred or so brothers followed you to make a living by risking their lives, and occupied a small territory like Baimangjiang Fish Restaurant. This is the limit of your ambition and strength. If it weren't for all these messy things that happened by accident, in fact, you would have settled down in this small fish restaurant to start a family and live a happy life. Is this what you want most in your heart?"

A light punch hit the water surface, and the reflection that had just regained clarity was shattered again.

"Stop pretending, that's just who you are."

"You don't have too many aspirations. You just want a wife, children, and a warm bed. You want to be able to hang out with a group of brothers for the rest of your life, eat big bowls of meat, drink big bowls of wine, and hang out together for the rest of your life. When the unlucky guy dies of old age, you all go dig a hole for him, get a thick wooden coffin and bury him in it, leaving another hole next to it for you and the other brothers."

"This is the most realistic thought in your heart and the most real goal in life."

Chu Tian laughed a few times, took off his boots, and soaked his feet in the river. The clear river water soaked his feet, and the cool and refreshing feeling flowed through his body. Chu Tian sighed comfortably.

Looking up and looking at the half moon in the sky, Chu Tian continued to mutter to himself.

"But God doesn't give you face and has to torment you."

"Look, you have Chu Jie to worry about, and Chu Jie's mother, who is also your mother, of course; and Grandpa Chu Ye, and Grandpa Chu Feng. So, even if you want to live an ordinary life, you can't, because you are destined to confront these people."

"Master Rat used up the little strength he had recovered over the years to protect you from death and took you to the bandit den in Zhen Sanzhou. You were adopted by Tiger Dad, an old bandit. What can you do?"

"Tiger Daddy is a rough man, but he's really good to you! Even though he feeds you old wine and big pieces of fat all day long, which is a bit like baby abuse, you are so strong because of this. You have to repay him for his kindness in bringing you up!"

"Over the years, the Dajin Dayu Temple has been targeting Zhen Sanzhou, constantly sending spies to infiltrate the old village of Zhen Sanzhou, hoping to capture Zhen Sanzhou in one fell swoop. Jiao Wang is such a smart man, he has also been trying to sabotage the Dayu Temple over the years. In more than a hundred years, who knows how many 'Infernal Affairs' from Zhen Sanzhou have sneaked into the Dayu Temple?"

"'The grace of raising me', Lu Gu opened a charity in Minzhou, in fact, she wanted to train her own people to investigate the Chu family. Lu Gu was really unlucky, her true identity was discovered by the Dragon King, and so many of our brothers, ranging from three to five years old to seven to eight years old, were sent to the Minzhou Charity Hall."

"But Lu Gu is not bad to us, especially Hong Gu, and Sister Chun Xing and the others... They are like sisters and mothers... You should also remember this kindness. Although you are a small person, you can still tell who is good to you and who is bad to you."

"Auntie Lu, Auntie Hong, I really have nothing to say to you!"

"You have to understand that over the years, in order to provide you and the brothers around you with elixirs to assist in your cultivation, Hong Gu even sold all the dowry her family gave her."

"Woman, you are such a hassle... You are a high-ranking official in the Great Prison Temple, supervising all officials in the country. You are a high-ranking official who can execute officials first and report later, but you don't even have the slightest awareness of taking bribes. You two deserve to be so poor that your brothers have to find side jobs every now and then to make some extra money to send back to you to supplement your income!"

His toes were itchy and numb. A bold black fish mistook Chu Tian's toes for some kind of plump prey and opened its mouth to nibble at his toes. Chu Tian suddenly kicked the four-foot-long black fish unconscious, grabbed it and threw it on the shore.

"It's time to make soup at dawn. You brought this upon yourself."

Shaking his head, Chu Tian sighed softly: "Trouble, trouble!"

"The affection of Tiger Dad and his friends, the affection of Lu Gu and his friends, and the blood relationship of the Chu family."

"We haven't even sorted out these messed up emotional lines yet, why are five alien races interfering?"

"Six Paths Blood Sacrifice. Only one of the human race in the entire Great Jin will survive. We will use the flesh and blood and souls of so many people in the Great Jin to support the Six Paths world."

"Isn't that too cruel? Isn't that too unreasonable? Why should the human race be sacrificed for a matter that concerns the lives of billions of people in the six realms? You are too overbearing, too arrogant, too unreasonable, and too much of a bastard!"

"You want to kill people...but I can't let you kill these people I know!"

"Whether it's the Dragon King, Old Fox, or Tiger Dad, there are so many uncles, aunts, and Aunt Green and Aunt Red, and those sisters, and those people from the Chu family... and so many brothers and buddies."

Chu Tian smiled bitterly, and sighed with a hint of helplessness and pity.

"I am such a small person that I can't afford it."

"But my swordsmanship is the 'common man sword'. You must understand that offending a common man is more terrible than offending a mad dog!"
