"Evil is hateful, detestable, terrifying."
"They trap us in this tiny patch of land and refuse to let us leave."
"Every few days, they even dispatch armies to slaughter us."
"What do they take us humans for? Poultry to be raised in pens?"
"Everyone, in the past, we lacked the ability to break free of these shackles. We could only endure."
"Now things are different: Daoist Brother Flower-Scatter has brought us the Magic Treasure [All-Heavens Banner], brought us light, brought us hope."
"We absolutely must not fail the task he entrusted to us."
"We must use this Magic Treasure to break through evil's blockade and enter a wider world."
Inside the safe zone:
Standing on the shoulder of a little giant Dao Seal Cultivator, Mei Niang excitedly envisioned the future. "Flower-Scatter Daoist's Magic Treasure, together with the evil beings I've won over."
"We'll definitely accomplish something in this Second-Layer World."
"Starting tomorrow, we can no longer passively defend ourselves."
"We must take the offensive, strike everywhere, kill evil beings, and win the world's favor, living up to Daoist Brother Flower-Scatter's kindness."
The many Dao Seal Cultivators nodded.
The more Mei Niang spoke, the more excited she became. "Everyone, Wang Quan has gone home in glory."
"When he comes back, we must give him a real surprise."
"Does anyone have a way to expand the safe zone faster? Whatever ingenious ideas you have, speak freely."
Everyone began speaking. Some said Mei Niang would have to work a little harder and win over more evil beings.
Mei Niang touched her slender waist, intending to loosen her waistband, only to discover to her horror that she no longer had a waistband at all.
"All right, not only will I work hard, I'll bring my many Dao partners along to work hard together."
