["An attempt?"]

[You deliberated and repeatedly scanned the peculiar monk, seeing that he preferred speaking in riddles and knew he was no common sort.]

[Faced with your inquiry, the monk answered with a smile, "This is a secret of our faith, you can know only if you follow my master. What do you say, shall you join?"]

[He sent you an invitation to join the faith.]

[You asked him, "If I don’t join, can you tell me what the attempt is?"]

[Very well, that’s typical of you, still so despicable and shameful.]

[The monk was still smiling, but his tone became less polite, "What do you think? Of course not. However, I can introduce you to our doctrine, are you interested? Maybe once you understand us, you will join us."]

["Is your master Tailed Ksitigarbha?" you did not rush to answer, but countered with a question.]

[However, the monk scoffed, "If I didn’t see you as a clueless person, I would think you’re blaspheming my master. Tailed Ksitigarbha, merely a creature of insane fusion, is unfit to be mentioned in the same breath as my master. We, the Star Group, follow the true Creator who created all! He had been slumbering, but now has awoken, and the day the stars return to their places will be the day of my master’s return."]

[You looked at him and thoughtfully asked, "Are you attempting to find a way for your Evil God to descend?"]

["You’re not wrong, Tailed Ksitigarbha, though a vile thing, still holds a little value. Even the ugliest lamb, as long as it is willing towards the master, can receive the master’s gifts. So, here I am! But I despise such a term as ’Evil God,’ it’s disrespectful to my master."]

[The monk first revealed an ’angry’ emotion, but suddenly changed his demeanor, spoke cordially and chucklingly to you, "Of course, I don’t blame you, the reputation of my master is spoiled by those self-righteous fools, their cleverly nasty actions have led to the misunderstanding of my master by the world!"]

["In following my master, only becoming an Extinguishing Road Traveler is the right path, those from Destroyer are already on a misconceived track!"]

[As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, spittle flying, seemingly excited, even letting slip some secret information, such as the possible internal discrepancies within their faith, with a group called "Destroyer" suspected to be the radical faction, and the group called "Extinguishing Road Travelers" appearing to be the conservative, craftier group.]

[Of course, this was useless, because with your limited understanding, you hadn’t even heard of the Star Group, and as is commonly known, the more you know, the less you understand.]

[Especially with such obscure, strange knowledge, it was even more so; knowing was akin to not knowing.]

[So you felt confused as he started to criticize more fiercely the other faction within their own faith, you hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Let’s not drift off, I see that you understand quite a bit about Tailed Ksitigarbha, could you tell me what it is?"]

[After being interrupted by you, the monk felt slightly annoyed, pausing for a moment before proudly saying, "Unnecessary."]

["What do you mean unnecessary? I am asking for some guidance here, Master, could you please answer me properly?" you sensed that he appeared mysterious but mentally unstable, so you deliberately acted polite, attempting to extract information.]

[To your surprise, the monk’s arrogance intensified, with a flick of his sleeves, "Apart from my master, you need not understand any other lowly, vile minor god, especially not one with the scent of a deserter, Tailed Ksitigarbha, not worth mentioning!"]

[You frowned, finding him somewhat mentally unstable, you decided to provoke him, "You speak lightly, but aren’t you trapped in Tailed Ksitigarbha’s territory?"]

["Ha, how do you know I’m trapped? Maybe I came here willingly?"]

["Then try leaving then, sitting here in this deserted corner, aimlessly. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, your lower body has already decayed, you can’t leave, right?" you suddenly stood in the corner, picking up a small stone and threw it at him.]

[The monk was stunned by your throw, not from pain, but from delayed reaction.]

[After a while, he finally saw from your grinning face a line that read "Dare to come over and hit me."]

[He didn’t come over to hit you, but just quietly looked at you.]

[You looked at him, he looked at you, and you stared into each other’s eyes for a full ten minutes, stable as you were, you were not afraid of such a staring match.]

[Finally, he was the first to speak, "Alright, as you said, I am indeed trapped, but my attempt has been successful, I now need a person to take me out, and fortunately, you came! Clearly, you are my destined one."]

["What’s the condition?" your eyes rolling, immediately guessing from his attitude that he must have a deep understanding of Tailed Ksitigarbha, this strange wheel ring, and the ancient underground temple, but you discreetly avoided the topic, you really were a sly one.]

[The monk glanced at you and said, "Strictly speaking, you are also trapped here, if you want to leave, the best way is to cooperate with me, just listen to me, and you can successfully leave this place."]

[Leave? Trapped? Indeed, once you step into this circle, it’s like falling into a trap... a shock ran through your heart, but your face remained unfazed, instead, you suddenly interjected, "I choose the second-best method."]

["?" The monk was clearly startled, but he maintained a good attitude, steadied himself and continued, "Humans are always greedy, I understand, it seems you are very interested in Tailed Ksitigarbha, and luckily I also have a request from you, so as a reward, I can tell you some knowledge about Tailed Ksitigarbha. Trust me, I am a guide, I never lie."]
