Ch. 2761Alone Against the Limitless Ones
Key plot points
- Meng Chuan challenges the Limitless Ones, explicitly inviting the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Suirenshi, and the others to join the fight.
- His invitation removes their worry that fighting him would damage their relationship. They believe they cannot steal his chance to break free of the Great Dao, but they may gain valuable insight by confronting him.
- Suirenshi accepts, channeling Human Dao Power to enter the Limitless Domain. The other Limitless Ones also take their places against Meng Chuan.
- Meng Chuan now faces more than a dozen powerful opponents alone—nearly every Limitless-level combatant in the Chaos Sea.
Character developments
- Meng Chuan has lost his emotions, but retains his memories, reasoning, and commitment to plans he made before entering Dao Union. He invites the others to fight both to advance his Dao and to benefit his allies, especially Ye Fan and the others.
- Suirenshi balances loyalty to Meng Chuan and the Human Race with the chance to learn from an extraordinary battle. With Meng Chuan’s invitation, he decides to accept that opportunity.
- The other Limitless Ones recognize Meng Chuan’s immense potential and weigh the possible insights of battle against the value of preserving their friendship with him. His invitation resolves that dilemma.
Significant themes
- Emotion versus memory and duty: Though Meng Chuan can no longer feel affection, he follows the intentions and commitments preserved in his memories.
- Mutual benefit and strategic generosity: Meng Chuan’s challenge helps his opponents learn, strengthens ties that may aid his allies, and furthers his own Dao.
- Loyalty and political calculation: Suirenshi’s loyalty to the Human Race shapes whom he will fight, while the others consider both personal relationships and the risks of action.
- The cost of growth: The Limitless Ones must confront Meng Chuan to gain insight, even though he will show them no mercy once they engage.
Character interactions
- Meng Chuan addresses the Limitless Ones directly, giving them permission—and effectively a reason—to fight without fearing a lasting breach in their relationship.
- Suirenshi apologizes before joining the conflict, acknowledging his bond with Meng Chuan even as he acts.
- Meng Chuan, however, regards the fighters as strangers and intends to use his full strength against them.
