Summary: “Mud That Won't Stick to the Wall”

1. Key Plot Points & Events

• The group (Yang Mu, Martial Ancestor, Anthony) visits a city in the “Brahma World,” a rigidly stratified society where caste is determined by reincarnation based on past-life deeds.
• Martial Ancestor is horrified to see helpless lower-caste people, including starving Dalit children, and questions why no one resists.
• Yang Mu explains the system: belief in reincarnation and verified divine rewards makes even the humiliated accept their suffering; resistance is crushed by gods, and even self-destruction is impossible without the heavens’ consent.
• Martial Ancestor attempts to rally the oppressed to rebel, but finds no followers—they prefer promised future reincarnation over present relief. He gives up in disgust, calling them “mud that won’t stick to the wall.”
• Yang Mu reveals his broader plan: exploiting a “Blessing Rule” to provoke a war between great worlds and profit as a third party.
• Anthony questions whether Supreme Brahma might cancel the blessing; Yang Mu argues the blessing helps the world expand, so it won’t be revoked.

3. Significant Themes

• Oppression & Control via Religion/Reincarnation: The caste system is sustained by a belief in a provable cycle of rebirth, making suffering a rational investment in a better future.
• Futility of Resistance: A closed system, backed by divine power and internalized hope, renders rebellion impossible—not merely by force, but by stripping people of the desire to resist.
• Clash of Worldviews: Martial Ancestor’s ethos (immediate retribution, personal honor) conflicts with the world’s long-term, hierarchical logic.
• Determinism vs. Free Will: Even self-destruction is denied; free will is subsumed into the system’s mechanics.
• Exploitation of Systems: Yang Mu sees the same oppressive structure as a lever for inter-world conflict and personal gain.

4. Character Interactions

• Martial Ancestor & Yang Mu: A central dialogue where Martial Ancestor proposes violent uprising; Yang Mu rebuts with the system’s psychological and cosmic reinforcement. Their exchange highlights the gap between idealistic rebellion and cynical realism.
• Yang Mu & Anthony: Anthony questions the viability of the Blessing Rule plan; Yang Mu justifies it with geopolitical logic. Anthony’s final acceptance shows intellectual respect for Yang Mu’s reasoning.
• Martial Ancestor & the Oppressed: He offers them rebellion, they refuse—leading to his symbolic “spitting on the ground” and abandonment, marking his withdrawal from any messianic role.
  (Note: The chapter title directly references Martial Ancestor’s verdict on those who won’t rise against their condition.)
