Re: Tales of the Rune-Tech Sage Chapter 601

Alex learned from One Heaven about the Battle for Heaven’s Mandate, a contest to access the vulnerable, reborn Consciousness of Verdantis’ plane and seize control of its Heavens. He grappled with the ethics of planar predation, drawing uncomfortable parallels between Gu Mo’s plunder, the plane’s traitorous Navi, and Pangea’s nobles like Earl Drake Fury, questioning his own moral authority to intervene. After dismissing fears of reinforcements behind Gu Mo, Alex inquired how to claim the Mandate at his current power level. One Heaven instructed him to build an empire.
