Episode 12: Alliance

"On the contrary, I hope that they can join forces within this era." Lord Moman's eyes were cold. "Whether it is the Innate Primal Chaos Faction or the Ice Peak Faction, there are opposing forces."

"If we don't carry out a massive massacre, these opposing forces will oppose us again and again in the long years to come," Lord Moman said. "If we can finish them off in one battle and completely crush their opposition, it would actually be a good thing."

Luo Feng, Yuan, and the other lords all nodded.

To completely unify all the Source World in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, there are bound to be many opposing forces! Luo Feng and his companions will show no mercy to these 'opposing forces' and will spare no effort to kill them!

"There's a greater than 70% chance they'll make their move within a century," Xingmang said.

"We're close to final victory," Yuan laughed heartily.

From the day he became a lord, Yuan has always wanted to protect more and more Source World! He has left his footprints and fortuitous opportunity in countless Source World.

And now, we are getting closer and closer to 'substantially ruling all Source World '! How could Yuan not be thrilled?

"We've been allied with the Ice Peak Faction for a long time," Jin, the second lord to emerge, sneered. "But what's the result? The Ice Peak Progenitor doesn't care about past ties at all! He's unwilling to give us the Source World. In my opinion... after this massacre, the Ice Peak Progenitor might just stand on the opposite side from us."

Yuan's eyes were also icy. "We are about to achieve final victory. At this time, no one can hold back in the slightest, no matter who stands against us."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement. "Those who are still our enemies at this point, let's send them on their way!"

All eight lords were filled with murderous intent.

Anyone who obstructs the Cultivator Faction will be killed without mercy!

******

A magnificent palace.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor dwells here, his eyes cold and sinister.

"In terms of strength, my Innate Primal Chaos Faction is no less than that of the Cultivator Faction. However, the eight lords are immortal." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, "Even if they are defeated, they can quickly recover their strength and attack again together."

This is also why the dozens of progenitors, led by the Giant God Emperor, agreed to the Cultivator Faction' promise of 'never expanding.' Because if the fighting continued for a long time, it would be normal for another twenty or thirty progenitors to die. Those ordinary progenitors with weaker survival abilities were unwilling to participate in the war.

"Our Innate Primal Chaos Faction is inherently divided, and the Ice Peak Faction is also divided." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was well aware of the situation on the other side.

The founders of the Two Great Camps were friends in the distant past, and exchanging information and intelligence was a common occurrence.

The Three Emperors of Wind Thunder Sea, thunder, and sea had a very good relationship with the Infinite Serpent Ancestor in private, and they would reveal many secrets to him.

"Two Great Camps are splitting when faced with the demands of the eight lords. It's because... the eight lords are extremely powerful and immortal." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was very troubled.

"The Infinite Serpent Ancestor." A chilling voice rang out.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor looked over.

An invisible force gathered, forming a gray-clad figure that seemed both real and illusory. This gray-clad figure smiled slightly, but the smile was chilling.

"Mogus." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor recognized the one as 'Mogus,' who ranked among the top ten in strength in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space and was also a being who possessed the highest level of soul power.

In matters of the soul, Mogus is widely recognized as the one who achieved the greatest success.

Before the birth of the Starlight Lord, Mogus was free to do as it pleased, and no one could threaten it in the slightest.

"I've heard about it," the gray-robed figure said with a smile. "The eight Xing Zhe lords are incredibly arrogant, actually negotiating with all the forces at the same time, wanting to rule over all the Source World."

"Yes." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor looked at the gray-robed figure. "Once they gain complete control, you will likely be hunted down by them whenever you devour any Source World!"

The figure in gray seemed to grow even colder.

It has no interest in participating in other struggles, but its path requires devouring countless souls. Compared to the souls of 'Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform,' the souls of beings from the Source World are billions of times more numerous, and are what Mogus values most.

"In the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space, I could once enjoy food to my heart's content," Mogus said coldly. "But the Cultivator Faction has targeted me time and time again, Starlight Lord has even restrained me. So, Infinite Serpent Ancestor... you should understand that the Cultivator Faction is my mortal enemy!"

Listen up, Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

"The eight lords are immortal and indestructible; you have no way to deal with them." Mogus smiled slightly. "But I have a way."

"You have a way?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor scoffed, disbelieving.

"In terms of the soul, I am number one in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space," Mogus said.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor acknowledged this.

The highest level of soul power of the Mogus is indeed terrifying. When fighting it, even immortal beings are lucky if they can unleash 30% or 40% of their strength. Some weaker progenitors might even be confused and only able to guard their Life Core with their minds, without any power to resist.

It is indeed terrifying.

Based solely on his soul techniques, he could easily rank among the top ten in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space in a direct confrontation!

"You have fought against the Cultivator Faction many times," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. "You can't do anything to them. As for the newly promoted Luo Feng ... we tried it in the previous faction war, and Luo Feng's Mind Will is extremely strong."

"I know," Mogus smiled and nodded. "My strength alone is certainly not enough! So I need help."

"I need the assistance of the Nirvana Ancestor, the Thousand-Eyed Progenitor, the Star Net Progenitor, the Myriad-Touch Dragon Mother, the Nightmare Progenitor, Dream Weaver," Mogus said. "Looking across the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, in terms of souls, these six are second only to me. If they join forces with me... we can weave an unprecedented illusion."

"An unprecedented illusion?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was somewhat skeptical. An illusion? Would it even be useful?

"The ultimate path of the soul is more terrifying than you think." Mogus was quite disdainful. As a manipulator of souls, it didn't hold other progenitors in high regard. "The Cultivator Faction has always targeted me, and I have been studying their mental weaknesses for countless years. This illusion can give them a huge surprise!"

"Who is the illusion you are setting up aimed at?" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor asked.

"Yuan!"

Mogus said, "I know 'Yuan' very well. He has cultivated for a long time and devoted countless efforts to the Cultivator Faction. The more effort he puts in, the more he cares about the countless Source World. The more effective the unprecedented illusion I have prepared for him will be."

"Once we succeed, Yuan will be trapped in his mind and probably won't be able to participate in the battle," Mogus said. "Even if he can barely participate, he will probably only be able to exert one or two tenths of his strength."

Mogus was very confident in the path he was best at.

It has been hunted down by the Cultivator Faction too many times and hates Cultivator Faction the bone.

"Even if he manages to participate in the battle, he can only exert one or two tenths of his strength?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was somewhat excited. "How long can being trapped in his mind affect him?"

"It could be forever," Mogus said confidently.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

Yuan's formation greatly enhances the overall strength of the eight lords! Once Yuan is destroyed, the deterrent power of the remaining seven lords will rapidly diminish.

"Are six helpers enough? There are also some ancestors who are skilled in mental techniques. Wouldn't it be more effective to invite a few more?" said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

"Those useless people are unnecessary," Mogus dismissively.

"These six helpers are scattered among the Innate Primal Chaos Faction, the Ice Peak Faction, and weaker forces," Mogus said. "How to invite them is up to you."

"Leave it to me," the Infinite Serpent Ancestor said confidently.

Of these six, three were from its own faction. It was confident it could persuade the remaining Myriad-Touch Dragon Mother, the Nightmare Progenitor, Dream Weaver.

"I also need you to provide enough lives for me to recover my strength," Mogus said.

"How much life is needed for a full recovery?" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor asked.

"Not many, just the souls of ten thousand World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform, or even 'one trillion' High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform," Mogus grinned.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was also quite troubled.

World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform belong to the core of their races and are protected by their progenitors. Even as one of the Nine Sovereigns, it cannot capture World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform in this way.

While the number of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform is indeed enormous, the figure of 'one trillion' puts immense pressure on the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

"I'll think of a way." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor did not immediately agree.

"Once we're ready, we can place these lives in the Infinite World," Mogus said. "Xingmang has been hunting me down, but he doesn't dare to venture into the Infinite World."

"Okay," Infinite Serpent replied.

The Ice Peak Progenitor stood on the vast land, and endless cold energy spread, covering the earth with ice.

He stood there alone, his anger still burning.

"The Pu Cheng keeps going against me."

"This time, sixteen ancestors actually opposed it!" Ice Peak Progenitor roared in fury.

An internal vote was held within the Ice Peak Faction.

The four immortal beings led by Pu Cheng, along with the twelve ordinary progenitors, were unwilling to become enemies with the Cultivator Faction.

"Xiusaiwei is the same, repeatedly favoring the Cultivator Faction." Ice Peak Progenitor was furious. He had always disliked the rise of the Cultivator Faction, and this time Shazhou also decided to suppress Cultivator Faction. Ice Peak Progenitor wanted to unite the power of the entire camp and join forces with the Innate Primal Chaos Faction, which would give them an absolute advantage.

Unfortunately, there were twelve ancestral figures standing against him!

"Ice Peak." A thought descended, transforming into a giant snake. "Judging from your appearance, your Ice Peak Faction doesn't completely listen to you either."

"You're not even as good as me," the Ice Peak Progenitor said coldly.

"I have good news for Mogus," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, and then gave all the details.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Ice Peak Progenitor's eyes lit up. "If we can truly trap 'Yuan' within the mind, the remaining seven lords on the Xing Zhe side... will be far less of a deterrent."

Without Yuan, the lords were like a scattered mess, their overall strength reduced to only one-third or even one-quarter of what it used to be.

"The Nightmare Progenitor is from your Ice Peak Faction, so you're in charge of inviting him. As for the Myriad-Touch Dragon Mother and the Dream Weaver, I'll invite them," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. When it came to making friends, it was far more capable than the Ice Peak Progenitor.

The Ice Peak Faction has a total of 38 progenitors, while the Innate Primal Chaos Faction has over 120, demonstrating the difference in their ability to recruit progenitors.

"Alright," the Ice Peak Progenitor replied.

"There's a big problem now," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. "Mogus has been hunted by the Xingmang for too long, and its strength is very weak now. It needs to devour countless souls to restore its strength. It said it needs ten thousand World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform or one trillion Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform."

"That's too many." The Ice Peak Progenitor changed upon hearing this. "Ten thousand World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform are definitely not enough; many ancestors would be furious."

Luo Feng had at least some reason for his previous ambush and killing.

Luo Feng only dared to ambush and kill those who devoured the origin of the Source World. Even so, all parties wanted to talk to Luo Feng at the time! It was only because of Luo Feng's power that those ancestors held back.

If it were one of our own Nine Sovereigns, and our own leader, 'Ice Peak Progenitor,' were to capture World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform on a large scale, it would cause a split within the faction.

"Ten thousand World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform are definitely not enough. The death of each world-class one will attract the attention of the Primordial Ancestor. Let's try to gather one trillion High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform." Ice Peak Progenitor said, "Based on the number of races in our Two Great Camps, you will be responsible for seven hundred billion High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform, and I will be responsible for three hundred billion High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform."

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor stopped arguing.

Both sides are sincere in their cooperation and will naturally do their best.

"Alright." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor nodded.

Seven hundred billion High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform —this kind of thing has to be done secretly. The Infinite Great Serpent Clan can appear silently in any territory of the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, so we can find a way to make it more discreet.

Opposition forces from Two Great Camps are making rapid preparations.

Some of the weaker factions' progenitors who were unwilling to participate in the war, such as the 'Myriad-Touch Dragon Mother' and the 'Dream Weaver,' had previously negotiated with the Cultivator Faction. Now, faced with coercion and the lure of enormous resources, they have also broken their agreements with the Cultivator Faction, leading their tribes to join the Innate Primal Chaos Faction and preparing to participate in this war.

Meanwhile, trillions of High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform were captured from various places and eventually sent to the Infinite World. Mogus was also quietly devouring countless souls and rapidly recovering.
