You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

Chapter 194 Fighting fire with fire, accepting the erosion of hell.
[In the year 245 of the Extraordinary Era, a realm of Hell was completely devoured by the will of the Abyss.]

[Sam, the deputy commander of the Lava Army, became a powerful Supreme Lord through the blessing of the Abyss's Will.]

The development of the Lava Army is progressing according to your plan, the founder of the Red Heart Society.

Whether it's Balhak or Sam, they were both high-ranking officers in the Lava Army whom you marked as worthy of your full training before you left.

Compared to Sam, Agrelius contributed significantly to this matter, and the will of the abyss once again bestowed its favor.

[In an instant, Agris's power expanded once again.]

Even now, during the war to invade Hell, when He is completely suppressed by the will of Hell, He can still stand shoulder to shoulder with the Demon Marquis.

It's no exaggeration to say that Agrelius was the one who profited the most from the Redhearts' attack on Hell.

Agris was fully aware of all of this.

[Therefore, He returned to the Lava Demon race, hoping to ask the Wise One to intervene and provide the Red Heart Society with a guarantee that could temporarily contend with the God of Blood Prison.]

At least when the God of Blood makes his move again in the future, the Crimson Heart Society won't be caught off guard.

But the wise man did not respond to Agris's request.

The Elder Council of the Lava Demon Clan, well aware of Agrelius's power, refrained from any misbehavior this time.

[After spending some time among the lava demons and repeatedly requesting an audience with the wise man without being summoned, Agrelius learned of the wise man's thoughts.]

For the wise, the Red Heart Society was merely a stop on Agrelius's demonic journey.

Perhaps the destruction of the Red Heart Society, and the resulting profound emotional value for Agris, is what the wise man truly desires.

Although the Red Heart Society has been of great help to Agris, hasn't Agris also been giving back to the Red Heart Society?

Most importantly, the wise man is a wise man of the Lava Demon race, not a wise man of the Red Heart Society.

Therefore, the wise will not extend a helping hand to the truly sincere.

In the year 246 of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Lava Demon Elder Council launched a surprise attack on the rear of the Abyss, using the slogan "Eliminate the Red Heart Society puppets" to launch a fierce attack on the Red Heart Society.

Agris's first reaction was that all of this was the work of a wise man.

Otherwise, why would the Elders' Council attack the Red Heart Society's stronghold for no reason?

【but why?】

That night, the wise man's projection emerged in the glow of the lava.

【Agrius, you have betrayed the demonic survival rules I once taught you.】

The path to becoming a demon god is long and arduous!

Only by focusing on oneself, abandoning everything else, and seizing every available resource can one have even a one in ten thousand chance of success on the path to godhood!

Your feelings for the Red Heart Society are so profound!

The longer and more powerful the Red Heart Society exists, the more you will consider yourself a member of the Red Heart Society.

You forgot!

[You are a demon who should not have any emotions, but only climb the path to becoming a demon god!]

When you become a demon god in the future, you will have the ability to resurrect those you wish to see.

[Before that, I'll resolve this emotional burden of the Red Heart Society for you!]

Aglios looked at the wise man and began to refute his arguments.

The phantom of the wise man stood within the lava phantom, silently watching Agrelius.

After a moment, He sighed softly.

[Aglius, you never rejected any of my ideas before.]

Of course, we can question authority, deny authority, resist authority, and recreate authority!

It's a good thing you've taken this step!

After all, all the ideas I impose on you aren't necessarily correct.

Only by steadfastly believing in the path you're on, regardless of anyone's doubts, can you truly develop the potential to become a demon god.

Seeing the wise man's resolute attitude, Agrelius began to cite the preciousness of the lives of the entire Lava Demon race as an example.

Is it worth it for one lava demon to cause such a huge sacrifice for the entire lava demon race?

After saying this, He realized His mistake.

The wise man wishes that He would be cold-blooded and ruthless, considering only His own gains and losses.

But now, He is using the lava demon race, which has little to do with Himself, as an example. Doesn't this contradict what the wise man just said?

As expected, the illusory image of the wise man that had appeared before them vanished instantly.

Clearly, the wise man believed there was no longer any need for further negotiations.

Faced with the sudden attack from the Lava Demon Elder Council, the Red Heart Society urgently recalled the frontline Demon Sealing Alliance to launch a war against the Lava Demon Elder Council.

In response, Deng Qi instructed Aglios to pray to the will of the abyss.

The Red Heart Society's attack on Hell, helping the Abyss to conquer the Hell realm, is a great boon for the Abyss.

[But what are the Lava Demons doing now?] [Are they going against the tide of history?]

[A great thing to destroy the will of the abyss!]

But this time, Agrippa's prayer did not work.

[Throughout history, the will of the abyss seemed to have remained silent about this matter.]

A demigod's voice is far less powerful than that of a true god before the will of the abyss!

The greatest factor in the Abyss's ability to successfully devour the Hell Realm was not the Supreme Lord or the Red Heart Society, but rather the demons battling it out in another realm.

[If it weren't for the Demon God's obstruction of the Hell-based gods, the Crimson Heart Society and the Supreme Lords would likely have been unable to achieve any results at all.]

[They would be instantly annihilated by these hellish true gods the moment they entered hell.]

Under these circumstances, the Lava Demon race's attacks on the Red Heart Society intensified.

In the year 249 of the Extraordinary Era, during a strategic meeting of the Red Heart Society, the old headmaster unveiled the fourth edition of the Soul Spirit True Deciphering Diagram.

[The origin of Hell has evolved to mimic the fluctuations of the Crimson Heart World, thus launching a direct erosion of the souls of Crimson Heart Society members. Conventional purification, namely the first version of the Soul Purification Potion, has become ineffective.]

Deng Qi frowned slightly, indicating that this matter could be further investigated.

Although the Red Heart Society has changed its war strategy and begun a major war against the Lava Demon race, sooner or later they will still have to confront Hell.

If not this time, then next time!

Therefore, for the sake of the future, the research conducted by the Red Heart Society also needs to make sufficient progress!

Wei Liu, sitting on the other side of the strategic meeting, proposed a strategy of fighting fire with fire.

He opened his palm, and a wisp of energy resembling primordial battle qi rippled around it.

Thanks to the founders of the Red Heart Society, they have preserved various reference data and fluctuations of Hunyuan Battle Qi.

[The Primordial Chaos Battle Qi, in a sense, possesses the ability to devour everything. Perhaps we can utilize this characteristic of the Primordial Chaos Battle Qi—actively accepting the origin of hell and then refining it using the Primordial Chaos Battle Qi.]

Although this wisp of Primordial Battle Qi, simulated by the fourth generation of the Crimson Heart Sect, is merely superficial.

However, when something becomes powerful enough, even the most rudimentary imitation can provide ample feedback value.

[Someone nearby slammed their fist on the table and angrily denounced Wei Liu, believing him to be insane, tantamount to opening the gates to the will of hell!]

However, Deng Qi had a different opinion on this.

As the former commander of the Red Heart Army, Deng Qi was fond of using unconventional tactics in battle.

In other words, he likes to gamble!

This approach often allows for achieving large-scale strategic victories with relatively small investments.

[Therefore, with Deng Qi's full support, Wei Liu began experimenting with the backlash of Hunyuan Douqi against the Crimson Energy.]

In the year 251 of the Extraordinary Calendar, with the Red Heart Society's complete withdrawal, and especially with Hell informing all forces in the Sophia world of the Red Heart Society's battle against the Lava Demon race.

[In an instant, various factions began to stir.]

They planned to take advantage of the Red Heart Society's preoccupation with the Lava Demon clan to completely annihilate the Revenge Army and the Sophia branch.

If they had a choice, they would prefer to restore the Sofia human race to their previous status as slaves.

However, they were worried that after the Red Hearts ended the war, they would hear about this and wipe them out.

Therefore, they only dispatched advance troops and various other forces, forming an alien alliance, intending to slowly annihilate the territory established by the Sofia human race.

However, after decades of development, the Sofia humans are no longer the weak and vulnerable group they once were.

Although there are no demigods, there are still quite a few level nine professionals.

With the support of the Crimson Heart Battle Formation, they were still able to put up a fight against the demigods of various races.

Of course, a large number of demigods from various races, including orcs, elves, and dwarves, were captured and used as experimental subjects by the Red Heart Society.

Each demigod is among the most legendary and powerful beings in their respective race.

A powerhouse of this caliber is not born in every era.

[The birth of a demigod-level powerhouse will allow their race to escape slavery in the world of Sophia and truly stand on their own two feet.]

If a race has a dozen or so demigods, then it can be considered a powerful race in the world of Sophia.

From the perspective of the Red Heart Society, which had entered the world of Sophia, the presence of a few or even dozens of demigods within a race was of little significance to the Demon Suppression Alliance.

Whether you arrest one or ten, it's all the same.

These demigod-level powerhouses are extremely valuable in the eyes of the Red Heart Society!

After all, they could make a significant contribution to the Red Heart Society's research on the demigod cultivation system.

Faced with such a valuable contribution, even when they begged the Red Heart Society for mercy and offered to serve them, the Red Heart Society refused.

[Under these circumstances, the Sofia branch did not actually face significant pressure.]

Among the various races, demigods are actually quite few in number.

In the current situation, this can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
