PART III

In this chapter, the Earth-Trisolaris Organization (ETO) faces internal conflict between its two factions: the Adventists, who seek the destruction of humanity to enable Trisolaris' arrival, and the Redemptionists, who have more moderate goals. Pan Han, a leader of the Adventists, admits to killing a fellow member suspected of betrayal, sparking a tense confrontation led by Ye Wenjie, the ETO commander, who calls for unity and purging of traitors to preserve the organization's mission. The chapter reveals the deep ideological divisions within the ETO and the looming threat of global crackdown and rebellion.
