These were all women who had been trafficked, among them daughters of wealthy families and commoner girls alike, captured and caged, drugged, then beaten if they awoke and were disobedient, their hearts filled with terror.
They never anticipated that those inexplicable people would be burned to death, and that they would be saved.
All they could do was give thanks to the heavens and the earth because the one who saved them was invisible, leading them to believe it must have been God who rescued them.
They spoke in languages incomprehensible to the mighty ones, and even the insects were unclear about what they were saying, but it was no longer important—the insects were simply following the commands of their master.
As for the insects, the women believed they were Celestial Generals and Celestial Soldiers sent by the Immortals from the heavens to rescue these suffering women.
