Yuezheng Yan began to reflect on himself and study the fluctuations of his blackening value.
After all, changes in his blackening value were not under his subjective control.

Yuezheng Yan felt more like the Mission Holder bound to Old Sixth's Contracted Beast, the one tasked with reducing his blackening value.
He pondered that his blackening value was not decreasing but increasing, probably because his innermost thoughts were not truly gratified.
After some thought, Yuezheng Yan still decided to go with his initial idea.
