The Flesh Ghost God was scrutinized by "Fate" twice, and the only way his wounds could heal was by the infusion of a living person's willpower energy.
Those Blood City Masters represented Fate; they had arranged the lives of every citizen in Hanhai. To change one's destiny required a massive amount of willpower energy to help conceal it until one could become a Blood City Master and truly break free of their bonds.
Now, the path Gao Ming must take was clear: collect willpower energy, change the fate of the entire city's population, and kill or imprison the other candidates for Blood City Master before Fate erased him and become the new master of the Blood City.
The path was fraught with peril, but it wasn't entirely without hope.
