The Witches also had ancestors who had passed away. However, unlike Dayang Village, which worshipped the old fire pit and had their ancestors directly receive incense offerings, the Witches, due to their own customs, also sacrificed their ancestors to the insects.
Now, with this group of Witches silently kneeling and praying, these ancestors who had passed away over generations were summoned, forming an ancient and eerie custom.
Realizing this, Hu Ma put away the black bone. Although the black bone was naturally powerful, the Five Evil Gods had already been slain. Their status endured, but their spiritual essence was gone.
Using the malicious aura from this bone, Hu Ma could scare away the Guests, but not those outside.
This group of Witches, through generations of sacrificial ceremonies and their inner devotion, had used their ancestral Divine Souls as offerings to the gu insects, refining something both powerful and terrifying. Hu Ma had no other term for it but 'Evil God'.
