I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"With that, there was greater stability within the valley."

After a pause, Mr. Lu continued, "Moreover, should a disaster strike and the population sharply decrease, they can also recruit from the Human Clan outside."

Lin Yan fell silent upon hearing this.

For those of the Human Clan exiled within the Pure Land, having no fixed home, their lives were as trivial as weeds, their existence as fleeting as duckweed. If they could settle permanently in the Three Gods Valley, they would willingly do so.

Even if it meant sacrificing a child as an offering.

But for the generations that followed, it was not their family’s turn to make the sacrifice.

Even if ten or eight more were born, they could all live in safety and still be considered to have spread their lineage.

"During the treacherous nights, the Human Clan is weak. Even within High Willow City, they merely rely on the divine might of Liu Venerate to protect themselves," Mr. Lu continued.

Sighing, Mr. Lu said, "In this era, the Human Clan might seem prosperous, but in reality, they lack the true ability to protect themselves!"

He looked at Lin Yan and slowly said, "Sacrificing the few for the survival and prosperity of the many... this has become their only way to live! Over time, it has become so commonplace that they even regard the act of sacrifice as a family honor!"

Lin Yan understood in his heart, without sacrificing these few, tens of thousands would lose protection and thus perish in the treacherous nights.
