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

Chapter 207 The Ninth Simulation Begins

"buzzing"

Just then, a slightly trembling voice came from the communication device.

The Emperor of the White Eagle Empire sent a holographic projection call to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia's expression remained unchanged, and she immediately agreed to the remote call with the Emperor of the White Eagle Empire.

The silence was shattered by an unnatural energy disturbance.

Above the center of the Chixin Conference Hall, countless nanoscale quantum light spots appeared out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, a dignified middle-aged man came into Lin Xia's view.

This man is none other than Charles VII, the emperor of the White Eagle Empire.

He was dressed in a classic imperial ceremonial robe, with lifelike gold eagle emblems on his epaulets, their sharp beaks seemingly ready to shatter the void at any moment.

Charles VII's face was calm, and his hawk-like eyes softened instantly when he saw Lin Xia, his expression becoming harmless.

Although this was not the first time he had met Lin Xia, nor the first time he had spoken with her.

He didn't know that Lin Xia was a top expert among the Nine Transformations.

Not only him, but all the high-ranking officials of the White Eagle Empire never imagined that a ninth-level powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the world would pretend to be a junior and use the White Eagle Emperor's private channels to swindle money and resources.

Isn't it embarrassing to say this out loud?
Of course, since Lin Xia didn't bring it up, they wouldn't either.

If they are misled by others, the White Eagle Empire will surely be furious.

However, if one is fooled by a powerful figure who stands at the top of the world and seems to possess the combat strength of the world's number one, it can only be said to be a complimentary procedure done to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

"Hello, Lin Xia."

Charles VII’s voice came through the quantum channel: “My purpose in coming here is by no means to interfere in the internal affairs of the Red Heart Society.”

"But regarding the future of the Sunset Empire, I still hope... that the Red Heart Society can give it the most careful consideration."

As he spoke, he subconsciously leaned forward.

In negotiations conducted via projection, one can enhance their sense of pressure in this way.

But he instantly realized that the opponent was not the Federation of the past, but a ninth-level powerhouse at the pinnacle of the world.

So, as if joking, he leaned forward and then sat up straight again in an instant.

"The uncontrolled proliferation of forbidden weapons will eventually have devastating ripples that cross national borders and inevitably affect the entire world."

"The disaster it brings will exceed the limits of all existing civilized order, and the true foundation of peace and stability will face an unprecedented crisis of collapse."

"I think you understand that."

Lin Xia nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the corrosive nature of forbidden military weapons.

Others may not know, but he knows very well.

He has a thorough understanding not only of forbidden military weapons, but also of special, super, and ultimate military weapons.

"It's good that you understand the seriousness of this matter."

Charles VII breathed a sigh of relief seeing Lin Xia's cooperation.

The two then started chatting like old friends.

However, as the emperor of the White Eagle Empire, Charles VII was used to handling things in a vague way and preferred to speak in a way that made others guess his thoughts.

This is a consistent superior's attitude: leaving subordinates to guess what they are saying; if things are done well, it's because they gave the order; if things are done wrong, it's because the subordinates guessed wrong.

Regardless, I'm not wrong.

But Lin Xia didn't tolerate the other party's behavior and spoke her mind directly.

Some of his remarks even made Charles VII feel somewhat ashamed.

"Lin Xia, I suddenly remembered that I have some official business to attend to, so I won't chat with you here anymore."

The moment the words were spoken, the floating projection of Charles VII vanished instantly.

No one paid attention to Charles's casual conversation afterwards.

But everyone understood the hidden meaning behind the initial polite and cautious diplomatic language.

"Charles' concerns, on the surface, stem from a deep desire to maintain world stability."

Lin Xia said, "But the deeper intention is probably that they are wary of the power of our Red Heart Society."

"In the period of apparent peace before the abyss invades, one's position in the international community and the number of allied countries one can mobilize."

"If our Red Heart Society rises to prominence, the White Eagle Empire's international standing will inevitably be challenged."

"This may be the reason why Charles came here, seemingly to be fair, but in reality to help the Sunset Empire out of its predicament."

The old headmaster nodded slowly, saying that from the perspective of the White Eagle Empire, this was not wrong.

Charles was unaware of the apocalyptic events of the future invasion of the Abyss and Hell, so his thinking remained at that level.

"But the White Eagle Emperor still doesn't understand the Sunset Empire, especially the true nature of the Sunset Royal Family."

Lin Xia looked around and said with a smile, "As long as they don't reach the Sunset Imperial Capital, the Sunset Royal Family is capable of sacrificing everything."

"But once they reach the capital of Sunset, the Sunset royal family will have to start preparing to surrender in order to survive."

"How could we be afraid of such a paper tiger?"

Beside her, Lin Xue asked, "Teacher, doesn't our Red Heart Society still owe Emperor White Eagle a sum of money for a mechanical mother bed? Why hasn't he mentioned it?"

The old principal chuckled upon hearing this, "If the Red Heart Society hadn't suppressed the Federation with absolute force, but instead conquered and occupied it through lower-level battle groups or armies..."

"The White Eagle Emperor will definitely bring this up, and may even use it as a pretext in international relations."

"They might even hope to use this opportunity to exchange for technology or mineral resources within the Red Heart Society's territory." "But now?"

"Lin Xia killed two Ninth-Rank cultivators and seriously injured another Ninth-Rank cultivator, all within just a few days."

"With such a remarkable record, who wouldn't be afraid?"

"As for those loans?"

"It's just a few mechanical mother beds; the fact that Jiuzhuan stepped in to negotiate is the greatest value!"

In other words, we can get it for free.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia chuckled.

The old principal's final summary, though crude in language, was nonetheless reasonable.

Afterwards, the three sat in the house that represented the highest meeting of the Red Heart Society and began to discuss the future development of the Red Heart Society.

To be honest, the Red Heart Society originally had no intention of attacking the Sunset Empire in the short term.

Even if we want to attack foreign territories, we must first eliminate all unstable factors within the country.

Furthermore, the establishment of various combat organizations within the Red Heart Society has not yet reached his satisfaction.

Even if he joins forces with the old general and the old swordsman to destroy the Sunset Empire, what use is the Sunset Empire's territory without a trusted army to guard and suppress it, and without a professional team to build and develop it?

Factors that cannot contribute to the development of the Red Heart Society can be temporarily set aside.

As for the forbidden zone artificially created by the Sunset Empire?

For the Red Heart Society, which controls multiple gifts from time and space and the technological development of the next few hundred years, that is nothing at all.

The soul erosion marked by the Will of Hell with scarlet energy can be forcibly washed away by the Red Heart Society.

Moreover, what about this mere forbidden power?
The Red Heart Society has thousands of ways to deal with the taboo erosion problem that the world cannot currently handle.

Therefore, the Sunset Emperor's use of forbidden military force to attack was a rather useless strategy for bombing the country.

At night, Lin Xia returned to her room.

"Now that we have enough Fate Points, it's time to start the next simulation."

The next moment, he had a thought, and the simulation interface started running.

[Consume 99840 destiny points, simulator unlocked successfully.]

[Current Destiny Points: 78080.]

[Simulation begins. 】

[In January of the 126th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the first phase of military development, as outlined by Lin Xue for the Red Heart Society headquarters, was completed.]

Your rampage in the Eastern Frontier made it very easy for the Red Heart Society to take over the remaining border defenses.

Although there were some twists and turns in this process, and some stubborn forces tried to resist, all their efforts were in vain under the protection of the Zerg guards you dispatched.

[Once the Red Heart Society enters a stable state, and all four major defense lines (east, west, south, and north) are taken over, the Federal Army and Federal Chapters have also completed their reorganization within the Red Heart Society.]

Everything has been prepared in its initial stages.

Thus, on New Year's Eve of the 126th year, a time for bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, the cleanup campaign targeting the former Federation aristocratic families, submitted by Lin Xue and personally approved by you, began.

[For aristocratic families, a malignant tumor destined to exist from the very beginning of a nation, other countries and powers may find it inconvenient to deal with them.]

After all, when a new era arrives and replaces the old, these powerful families will invest in advance, distributing their family's resources across this new era.

Since the powerful families have contributed, it's naturally inconvenient for them to carry out a ruthless attack.

[Most importantly, there are good and bad people within powerful families; you can't just kill them all, can you?]

But this matter is quite easy for you to handle.

[Because you have experience across multiple time periods, and powerful professionals possess terrifying memories.]

Therefore, you clearly know which families can be melted down by Chi Xin's ideals and become practitioners of those ideals in the future.

Some powerful families are wolves in sheep's clothing.

[When the Red Heart Society is powerful, it lies low; when it declines, it immediately jumps out, wanting to seize the Red Heart Society's interests to develop its own family.]

[Not only you, but Lin Xue, Deng Qi, the old principal, and Elder Jian also have extremely rich experience in handling such situations.]

[Under your suppression, this cleanup campaign began with lightning speed and ended completely in a very short time.]

The Winter Empire, the Peacock Empire, and even the distant ocean kingdoms originally intended to take advantage of the situation to extract a large amount of resources from the Red Heart Society, but just as they were about to begin, the Red Heart Society had already finished.

This situation completely baffled those with malicious intent.

This kind of all-encompassing, anti-cancer campaign, even if it doesn't last for several years, will at least take several months, right?

Is the Red Heart Society really that efficient?

This doesn't resemble eradicating a cancer; it's more like knowing where the cancer is, how to solve it, and then using explosives to humanely annihilate it.

Regardless of what people from other countries and forces think, for the members of the Red Heart Society...

They felt that this year's Spring Festival was incredibly fulfilling.

Especially after the Lunar New Year, they discovered that the cost-effective Chixinhui (a secret society) businesses were widespread throughout various regions.

The scions of powerful families who had previously bullied them and treated them like dirt have all vanished without a trace.

Even if they occasionally catch a glimpse of them, the other party no longer dares to look down on them with that condescending gaze, as if they were ants.

[You, the boy who once stood at the examination hall, regarded as an ant by the scions of noble families, rose up, ushered in a new era, and utterly ended the very source of the arrogance of these privileged youths.]
