“Without him, we would still be wandering the mountains, struggling to make a living with our farming skills and being excluded everywhere we go. Because of him, we have faith, home, skills, wealth, and more importantly, he gave us dignity!”
“我们理所当然地享受着他的恩惠，到最后，却反过来背弃他，怨恨他。”缇玛泪流满面，声声控诉，“你们一点都不觉得羞愧吗？”
“We took the benefits he gave us for granted but in the end, we turned our backs on him and resented him.” Tima burst into tears, shouting, “Don’t you feel ashamed at all?”
众人低下头，默然无语。
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
好半晌才有一人小声道：“但他是邪神啊……”
After a while, a man whispered, “But he’s an Evil God…”
“邪神又怎么样？”缇玛质问，“他可曾对不起我们？可曾伤害过别人？没有！他一直都在默默地守护我们，帮助我们。所以无论他是什么身份，我都愿意信奉他，即便需要奉献我的生命，我也不会有丝毫犹豫。”
“So what if he is?” Tima snapped back, “Has he ever done anything bad to us? Has he ever hurt anyone? No! He had always been silently guarding and helping us. So no matter who he is, I am willing to place my faith in him. Even if I need to throw in my life for it, I will not hesitate at all.”
众人看着神色坚定的缇玛，莫名感觉有些无地自容。几年的相依相伴，只因为外人的排挤和非议，便放弃了自己的神灵。正如缇玛所说，他们的供奉，对渴求杀戮的邪神而言，根本没有意义。但他依然尽心尽力地庇佑他们。传说中的邪神，或许可怕。但他们所供奉的乌诺，却是给予他们的新生的守护神。
Everyone looked at the firm resolve on Tima’s face and felt somewhat ashamed. For several years they had depended on each other but just because they were excluded and criticized by outsiders, they gave up their own god. As Tima said, their sacrifices were meaningless to the Evil God who yearned to kill. But he still tried his best to protect them. The legendary Evil God may be terrible, but the Uno they worshipped was the patron saint who gave them new life.
心中的怨恨虽然平息，但还有不少人无法下定决心，毕竟要让一群正直朴实的人将邪神当作自己的神灵，他们长久以来形成的是非观，不是那么容易扭转的。
Although the hatred in their hearts subsided, there were still many people who couldn’t make up their minds. After all, they were a group of honest and simple people, to have them treat an Evil God as their own god… They have long formed a concept of right and wrong and it was not easy to reverse it.
晚上，许多戍族人辗转难眠。有几人实在睡不着，干脆爬起来，跑到屋外纳凉。
That night, many in the Shu clan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. A few people climbed out of their beds and ran outside to cool off.
繁星密布的夜空之下，戍族开坑的梯田，层叠起伏，高低错落，粮食作物生长茂盛，预示着不久之后的丰收。
Under the starry night sky, the terraced fields of the Shu clan could be seen. The grains were flourishing which meant a bumper harvest in the near future.
看着这一切，几名戍族青年的脸上不由得露出满足的笑容。正在这时，不远处突然出现了十几团火焰，似乎有一群人举着火把朝这边跑来。
