Chapter 195 Sword Elder Achieves Rule-Based Demigod

In the year 253 of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Society wandered throughout the Abyss. A demon-suppressing alliance tasked with searching for other worlds discovered an angelic legion fighting against the Supreme Lords in the lower realms of the Abyss.

The angelic legion displayed immense power; their holy light shone brightly even in the abyss.

Based on information about this angelic legion, the Red Heart Society Research Institute deduced that the Abyss also has equally powerful enemies.

This unknown and unfamiliar world of angels may be the fundamental reason why the abyss and hell devour each other, yet also restrain each other.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Demon Suppression Alliance rushed into the battlefield.

The Supreme Lords knew that the Demon Sealing Alliance belonged to the Abyss, and apart from the Supreme Lord of the Lava Demon Clan, the other demon clans did not take action against the Demon Sealing Alliance.

The angels, who had proclaimed the inevitable victory of justice and the eternal illumination of light, observed that the Demon-Suppressing Alliance was composed of humans and bore no trace of the abyss's magical power.

Clearly, this is not an army cultivated by the Abyss.

Most importantly, upon seeing this human army, the Supreme Lord of the Lava Demon Clan immediately shifted his attack target, launching an assault on the Demon Suppression Alliance.

Therefore, the Angel Legion did not immediately attack the Demon-Suppressing Alliance. Instead, they even dispatched a small angel squad to assist the Alliance in fighting against the Supreme Lord of the Lava Demon Clan.

With both sides believing the other to be "one of their own," the Demon-Sealing Alliance took advantage of the chaos to search for energy fluctuations in the Angel Legion.

Even worse, they took away the angels' fallen flesh and wings, as well as several angelic crystals that the Supreme Lords hadn't had time to collect.

After obtaining materials related to angels, which resembled demonic creatures, the Red Heart Society Research Institute began its full-scale research.

Hard work pays off!

Although the energy system of angels is completely different from that of professionals, their ability to borrow human will for attack, defense, and even advancement caught the attention of the Red Heart Society.

[The Red Heart Society calls it human will, but in the discourse of the Abyss, angels borrow the power of faith.]

[However, the power of faith needs to undergo a series of complex processes such as condensation, purification, reversal, and imprinting before it can finally form pure energy that can be absorbed and used by professionals.]

After learning of this, Deng Qi ordered all members of the Red Heart Society to cooperate in the matter.

[Once the power of faith can be fully understood, the Red Heart Society will surely possess power comparable to that of the true god in the future!]

The Red Heart Society may lack many things, but it will never lack the power of faith born from the people!

[Perhaps the Red Heart Society was somewhat unstable during his tenure, but if the founder of the Red Heart Society were still alive, he could easily have united the entire society for his own use.]

[Even the Crimson Heart World is just the foundation; the other worlds that the Abyss connects to and invades, such as the Sophia World, including high-ranking worlds with angelic legions, are the true foundation for the Crimson Heart Society's future development!]

[Give the Red Heart Society time, and a direction for its future, and the power it unleashes will surely move even the Abyss and Hell!]

Of course, research on the Soul Purification Potion and the alternative path to demigodhood still needs to continue.

In the year 255 of the Extraordinary Era, inspired by the Angel Energy Chart, the Red Heart Research Institute made significant progress on the path to demigodship, which was drawn from the world of Sophia.

[The demigods of the world of Sophia possess a power of rules, similar to the authority of the abyss, inscribed within their bodies, thereby creating a resonance with the surrounding world.]

[However, this method is too inefficient, and once engraved, it almost completely cuts off the path to further ascent.]

This path to demigodhood is a path!

To be honest, this is like a demigod's path that has been deliberately severed, with its beginning and end cut off.

[Through the dedicated research of the Red Heart Society Research Institute, supported by the terrifying computing power of the fourth generation of Red Heart Society members, and with the full cooperation of the former principal's Soul Domain Center, a cultivation method was created that resonates with a certain set of rules existing outside the world, based on the characteristics inherent in one's own soul domain.]

Ultimately, following the tradition of the Red Heart Society, the former headmaster named it the Red Heart Rules and Regulations.

[However, this method of demigod cultivation cannot be carried out in a vast, super-scale world like the Abyss or Hell. To comprehend the rules and resonate with the surrounding rules, one cannot remain in such a degenerate world.]

Otherwise, even if a resonance is formed, how can anyone know which rule it belongs to?

[If you cultivate to the point where you end up as a supreme lord or a great demon, what's the point of Chi Xin going through all that trouble?]

In the year 259 of the Extraordinary Era, Sword Elder emerged from the abyss and returned to the world of Sophia.

Guided by the rules of the Crimson Heart Law, drawing upon the remaining traces of Crimson Heart essence within his body, and using his own self-created sword techniques as a foundation, he sent his consciousness beyond the world of Sophia.

[In the darkness, beyond the world of Sophia, the sword-wielding rules existing in the void were drawn by some force and began to extend outwards.]

In the year 260 of the Extraordinary Era, after paying a certain price, the Lava Demon race persuaded the Gold Demon and Spirit Demon races to join forces and annihilate the Crimson Heart Society.

[For a time, the Red Heart Society entered a period of decline.]

In the 261st year of the Extraordinary Era, six Supreme Spirit Demons activated the treasures within their race, unleashing a soul-destroying technique that dragged Deng Qi into their soul space for a direct battle.

Although Deng Qi had already become a level 98 professional after years of training.

However, surrounded and attacked by six supreme spirit demons, he still perished.

In extreme circumstances, Deng Qi had actually considered directly designating Aglis as the next leader. However, the Red Heart Society was not yet at a critical juncture of life or death.

Therefore, if he were to forcibly appoint Aglios, he would inevitably face tremendous opposition within the Red Heart Society.

On the one hand, there are still so many people on the Red Heart Society's side!

On the other hand, the Lava Demon race's attack on the Red Heart Society was a calamity that Agrelius had brought upon himself.

Although things can't be viewed that way, this situation wouldn't have occurred if Agris hadn't stayed with the Red Hearts.

Therefore, within the Red Heart Society, there were quite a few high-ranking members who had grievances against Agris.

Even though they knew they couldn't blame Agluris for this, watching their comrades, friends, family, and descendants die one after another in the war against the Lava Demon race was unbearable.

Who doesn't harbor some resentment?

Even though most people knew they were taking their anger out on Agris, they still couldn't control their emotions.

Ultimately, based on the illusory designation left behind by Deng Qi, the former headmaster became the fourth leader of the Red Heart Society.

[According to normal succession planning, the four leaders of the Red Heart Society should choose a young, credible prodigy like Wei Liu as their successor.]

[Ke Weiliu is completely absorbed in his research on the soul and has absolutely no experience in so-called political struggles.]

If Wei Liu is indeed chosen, then the opponent will most likely also be a puppet.

Although the former headmaster was very reluctant to take on the role of the fourth leader, he had no choice but to accept it due to the lack of high-ranking members in the Red Heart Society and the society's current crisis.

After all, almost all the eighth and ninth-tier professionals in the Red Heart Society had received his favors.

Although he lacked experience in political struggles, his overwhelming power allowed the old principal to quickly seize control of the Red Heart Society, which was on the verge of collapse.

In the year 263 of the Extraordinary Era, the Supreme Spirits and Demons launched a series of soul attacks against the former headmaster.

Fortunately, the old headmaster had extensive knowledge of soul defense, which prevented him from using any of the Spirit Demon Supreme's unorthodox attacks.

However, this approach wasn't a sustainable solution, so the old headmaster initiated the Red Heart Society to research countermeasures against these soul attacks.

[In the year 266 of the Extraordinary Era, good news arrived.]

This is also the only good news the Red Heart Society has received in such a long time.

[In the world of Sophia, Sword Master resonated with the sword-wielding rules outside that world, and finally achieved the status of a demigod!]

The old headmaster was moved to tears upon learning of this, for he knew this was the first demigod of the Red Heart Society, and certainly not the last!

[The Red Heart Society has endured countless hardships, facing relentless attacks and suppression from the Abyss, Hell, the Supreme Lord, and the Great Demons, yet it has finally emerged as a demigod surpassing the Ninth Rank.]

This demonstrates that the Red Heart Rules and Regulations developed and summarized by the Red Heart Society Research Institute are correct, successful, and have promising prospects.

Those who are unaware of the true nature of the Red Heart Society may feel utterly hopeless about the current situation.

However, in the old headmaster's view, from the moment Sword Elder became a demigod, the Red Heart Society had already taken another giant step forward on the road to success.

In the year 267 of the Extraordinary Calendar, after stabilizing himself, Sword Elder helped the Sophia branch slay a beastman demigod and two elf demigods.

Even if three demigods from the world of Sophia joined forces, they would be no match for Sword Elder.

[It can only be said that, as expected of a powerful demigod who has been sublimated and can resonate with the power of rules outside the world, he can completely crush a half-baked demigod like the Sophia World when he unleashes his full power.]

The arrival of Elder Jian caused fear among the various races that had been relentlessly attacking the Sophia branch.

Although the Red Heart Society is in a very bad situation now, this one incident alone will instill fear in them for decades to come.

[The Sofia chapter is taking this opportunity to begin its final phase of development.]

In the 270th year of the Extraordinary Era, under the siege of the three major demon races and the various encirclements and suppressions launched by a large number of Supreme Lords using their authority, the defensive line established by the Red Heart Society suffered repeated setbacks.

[Especially in a battle targeting the siege of the Spirit Demon Supreme, the Red Heart Society's think tank calculated everything perfectly, anticipating all sorts of unexpected events.]

However, what no one expected was that, in its final moments, this supreme spirit demon produced a drop of black-gold liquid floating in the air.

The moment that drop of black-gold liquid appeared, the Demon-Sealing Alliance felt a sharp pain between their brows, and an indescribable fear rose from within—a crushing force stemming from their very very being.

This drop of black-gold liquid is the work of a demon god!

【Demon! 】

The Abyss-based divine system has begun to abandon all martial ethics and resort to dimensional-lowering attacks against the Crimson Heart Society.
