Begin the Purge!

The plan to persuade 001 to join the alliance failed.

As expected, Li Yuan was right. If Mo were to try to persuade 001, the result would most likely be failure.

While 001 may seem easy to fool, it actually depends on the person.

If someone is kind-hearted, 001 will be very easygoing and not too scheming. But if the person is wicked, 001 will not give him a friendly look.

As for how 001 distinguishes between good and evil, it doesn't do it by speaking, but by seeing.

One of these sequences is the one that 001 considers to have the purest mind.

That sequence is 024: The Exiled's Library.

The great serpent's mind is very simple. Its inner world is a sky, and within that inner world, it has a pair of wings, a feathered serpent soaring in the blue sky.

It yearns for freedom, for... a life without shackles and constraints.

This is what 001 saw.

So what kind of person is Li Yuan in 001's eyes?

Initially, 001 saw a drowning person struggling and desperately calling for help, but no one offered assistance.

He sank deeper and deeper, sinking little by little into the deep sea, into that abyss where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

In the end, he too became part of the abyss.

Poor thing, he ultimately couldn't break free.

In 001's view, Li Yuan's growth was very contradictory. People strive to rise higher, just as water flows downhill. In the process of seeking power or authority, people are bound to always move upwards.

Li Yuan, however, went in the opposite direction; he sank downwards.

On the surface, he is very powerful and growing very rapidly, which seems to be a positive process.

But deep down, he longed to find redemption. But did he truly find redemption after sinking into the abyss?

From 001's perspective, no, quite the opposite.

Falling down is like falling into depravity, like throwing away a broken pot, completely giving up the search for so-called redemption.

And it was precisely because there was no redemption that he sank to the bottom.

He let go of many things, even his humanity in the end.

So 001 felt sorry for him. He had a chance to break free, but 001 pulled him down again and again.

This is what made Li Yuan is today.

As a sequence, he has grown a lot; as a person, he is no longer human.

However, to some extent, the understanding of 001 is a subjective perception.

The so-called upward movement is not necessarily the right thing to do, because moving upward is also a process of pursuing desires, which will eventually lead to a fall at some point.

The cycle of falling and continuing upwards, then falling again, is a true reflection of most people's lives.

Of course, this is not the whole story. Many more people remain stagnant, leading ordinary and uneventful lives.

This cannot be said to be bad or good. Not everyone can experience so-called ups and downs, dramatic events, growth and change. Mediocrity and inaction are the norm.

Mo left, and although his trip was in vain, he gained 001's opinion, which should make his subsequent plans much smoother.

Next, it's time to clean up the sequence.

To prevent potential rebellions, Li Yuan and Mozi devised the most extreme solution: eliminating those who might rebel in advance.

Since the last few sequences might unite and rebel after the Grand Alliance is formed, let's eliminate them all first and take their crowns.

Once the remaining crowns are enough to form an alliance among all the sequences, then the most fundamental problem will be solved.

And so, the game came to an end.

Mo brought ten apostles, and with their combined fourth-tier combat power, sweeping away those third-tier ranks would be easy.

Because Mo has no worries now, his king, who is also the last apostle, is still under Li Yuan's seal.

Although Li Yuan might betray him, such a possibility seems unlikely at present.

Because doing so would not benefit Li Yuan. He was the one who provided the crown for the alliance, and taking the crown from Mo would only return the situation to its previous state, and the plan would still be unable to proceed.

The appearance of Mo is just the right thing to break the deadlock.

But some things are easier said than done. To sweep across the mainland would take decades or even centuries.

In particular, it is crucial to avoid direct conflict with the major alliances.

To the west of the Central Continent are countries such as 001 and Meng Qing Mistra, while to the east is the intersection of the Outer Sea Continent and the Central Continent.

In the south, there is Li Yuan's strategic plan, but there are also the Desert Empire of the Golden King and a number of other countries such as the Elves, which are basically under the control of the Dragon Empire, making it difficult to penetrate.

In the north, the only two alliances on the Central Continent that refused to submit to the Dragon Empire were entrenched.

The alliance of nations led by the Northern Giants, whose rank is that of Tier 4 Titans, should not belong to the bottom tier.

But this was the only way the angels could approach the problem.

In the far north, atop a snow-capped mountain range, before a volcano, lies the Lava Titan, Number 0 037, inside the volcano.

The giants regarded the volcano as a temple, believing that the gods resided within it, and that they themselves were born from the Primal Fire Seed.

No one has ever seen this Primal Fire Seed; it is only said to be in the magma sea inside a volcano.

Ink fell from the sky into the crater, and the inside of the volcano instantly boiled!

Boom!

A colossal being rose from the sea of lava. Sensing the power of the newcomer, the Titan wore an expression of dread.

"Fifth Tier High Rank?"

"May I ask... who are you?"

Titans seem to have never seen angels. When they were born, angels were no longer on earth, and even after reaching the fourth rank, they still hadn't seen any angels.

So, this was the first time he had ever seen an angel!

As the dense cluster of wings unfurled, ten figures appeared beside Mo.

Ten fourth-order units?!

Even the Dragon Empire couldn't produce ten fourth-tier warriors, so what's this guy's background?!

Mo looked up at Titan from above. "This should be our first meeting, right?"

"Never mind, it's not important anymore. Most of the sequences probably haven't seen me before, and my purpose in coming here is to purge them."

"As a fourth-tier member, you should be outside my purge list. So I'm giving you a chance: betray your alliance and join me, or get out of here."

Choose.

Titan clenched his fists. He could have entered the arena in his true form in just over a hundred years, but of all times it had to be now...

Damn it!

The opponent consists of ten fourth-tier beings. If they don't have any other abilities, and the giants try to fight them head-on... no, that won't work. If they lose, it will be utterly annihilated!

He can't gamble.

"Thank you for your kindness. It is an honor to be in an alliance with such a powerful sequence as yours."

"I just don't know, which specific groups are you referring to as being purged?"

Mo Bing coldly said, "Those below the fourth rank are all the same."

In other words, we need to completely eliminate the Third Order Sequence?

That...

Titan hesitated for a moment, "My lord, I do have a friend, though he's not a fourth-tier, he's incredibly powerful and has extraordinary potential, if only..."

Mo interrupted him directly, "Have you formed a formal alliance?"

Titan: "Not yet... for now."

Mo sneered, "Then there's no need to mention it again, unless you're willing to offer up your own crown."
