After the last surviving elder was killed, the remaining Crawler Kin were no match for Lin Yuan.
Before they could even flee, Lin Yuan, hidden in the Mirage Mist, killed them one after another.
Even at the very end, they never knew what was inside the white mist.
A few Kin, seeing no hope of escape, prostrated themselves on the spot and began praying instead.
But the enormous cross showed no response whatsoever, allowing Lin Yuan to slaughter every last one of these Kin.
Sure enough, the Great Being doesn't care about these so-called Kin at all.
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
This was no surprise.
The Sanctum Notes had recorded this long ago.
Many of the Sanctum's predecessors had even suspected that the Great Being had no idea a group of Crawlers had taken it upon themselves to worship it.
The so-called responses and gifts were merely patterns the Crawlers had discovered through years of trial and error.
It was like a group of bacteria discovering some of the human body's instinctive reactions and believing they had received a response from the human.
Of course, these were only the suspicions of those Sanctum predecessors. Only the Crawlers' higher-ups knew the actual situation.
After clearing out all the Crawlers present, Lin Yuan dispersed the Mirage Mist and revealed himself.
He glanced at the enormous cross in the center but did not rashly touch or attack it.
This thing truly was connected to the Great Will.
Even if the Great Will's connection to the Crawlers really amounted to nothing more than instinctive reactions, he still could not mess around with it.
After all, he was no more than a bacterium before the Great Will right now. If he actually triggered some kind of immune response, it would be no laughing matter.
