Through his observations, Ye Jun understood a few things about the village and its anomalies. For one, they were worshipping some entity whom they called Lord and used the chant He Who Returns.
He had no clue who that referred to, so he ignored it.
This Lord needed sacrifice to awaken, which made him guess that the entity was in a weakened or slumbering state. The latter one because of the three men's existence.
He guessed that the entity was asleep, so these three did its work, making sure it got enough sacrifices to awaken. The same sacrifices also seemed to be helping the three of them.
'They are likely the Paragons the villagers spoke of,' he thought.
Ye Jun tried to feel their threat level and safe to say, they were unbeatable opponents for him. But not nearly as dangerous as he had thought of them.
'If the entity was here, then things could be different. Maybe that attribute is related to the entity, not these Paragons.'
