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

Chapter 217 My prey is devouring my other prey!
[In May of the 137th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, your meticulously crafted plan to devour the world ultimately failed due to an uncontrollable variable.]

[The world's will, after all, is too young and too hungry.]

[Under your continuous guidance and the nourishment of the sweet essence of the Sofia world, it has grown rapidly and robustly, yet it has never been able to extinguish the extreme yearning for primal energy that originates from the world's instincts.]

[During a large-scale process of rule erosion, it may have tasted an extremely delicious primordial node, or it may have coveted an even larger piece of meat.]

Under that overwhelming temptation, ignoring the "caution" instruction transmitted through your mental link, you instinctively opened your massive maw towards that core node.

The energy fluctuations that tore through the rules and devoured the very essence instantly caused a world-renowned energy surge within the world of Sophia.

That instantaneous leak precisely pierced the vast sensory network that the Sophia world's will used to maintain its operation.

As a mature global will, the world of Sophia awakened instantly.

His cold eyes, composed of billions of starlight, locked onto the unusual energy residue, which carried a strong foreign "odor," almost instantly.

A crystal-clear conclusion roared at the core of its rule-based thinking: There's a thief!

[And he's a world-class thief capable of shaking the very foundations of the world!]

The furious roar of the Sofia world silently shook the underlying rules of the entire world. Invisible thoughts transformed into billions of probing tentacles, frantically scanning, tracing back, and locking onto the source of this audacious intruder.

Although you feel that the world's will is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

This instinctive act of gluttony nearly destroyed all the previous careful planning.

However, the Red Heart Alliance and the Demon Suppression Alliance have now formed a powerful fighting force, achieving brilliant victories time and again in the expansion battles of the Abyss Realm, even against the attacks of the Supreme Lords.

The elite fighting groups within the Red Heart Society have grown into trump cards capable of withstanding a direct confrontation with the world of Sofia.

More importantly, the Red Heart World Will, which you've been using like a gluttonous stomach, has been siphoning off almost every last drop of the Sophia World's essence into the Red Heart Society's development.

[The promotion resources for every core member of the Red Heart Society, every defensive array covering the empire's territory, and even the increasingly solidified Sword of Order in Sword Elder's hand—these are all spoils of war from recent times.]

Therefore, the Red Heart Society is no longer afraid of a counterattack from the world of Sophia.

Now that we've discovered it, we might as well not hide it anymore.

[Just moments before the Will of Sophia cleansed itself, the Will of Crimson Heart, under your absolute control and clear command, immediately abandoned all probing and concealment, and unleashed its full power to open the largest devouring channel it could activate.]

[Tear it apart!]

The moment a large bite was taken out, it seemed as if the very foundation of the entire Sofia universe trembled and groaned in agony.

The violent energy was instantly extracted, forming a terrifying vortex that was brief but created an absolute vacuum.

At the rule level, the cracks, unable to withstand the weight, have also begun to appear.

[Immediately afterwards, a massive torrent of energy, spanning billions of material planes and carrying unimaginable essence of the world's origin, was forcibly torn from the main artery of the Sophia world.]

As the actual controller of the Crimson Heart World, you can witness the extremely satisfied emotional expression of the Crimson Heart World's will.

Based on your model of law equivalents derived from your past life experiences, this sip of plundered pure world essence could nourish a new demigod of rules.

[And under your cunning manipulation, the will of the Crimson Heart World, though situated within the territory of the Sophia World, is still able to hold its own.]

After all, in the previous timeline, you used Primordial Chaos Qi to devour the very essence of Hell.

Even if the absorption was incomplete, you've completely mastered Hell's method of devouring and even digesting the world's origin.

Therefore, resisting the enraged world of Sophia while taking the opportunity to eat and develop oneself is just the basic strategy.

After all, the Crimson Heart World and the Sophia World are essentially members of the faction fighting against the Abyss and Hell.

Therefore, the process of absorbing and refining the essence of the Sophia world was quite smooth and seamless.

After experiencing these benefits, the world of Chixin began to listen to you more and more.

The primordial consciousness of a world gradually took shape in your form.

【finally!】

Seeing the world's will, so focused and decisive, devoid of any superfluous emotions or idle chatter, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

If things have developed to this point, then the strategic significance of this matter has already been achieved.

Of course, things have come to this point, so you certainly won't just leave like that.

[The world of Sophia, this juicy cake whose edges have been shattered by the abyss and whose interior has been ripped open by you, has long been regarded by you as the first stepping stone on the path to the rise of the Red Heart Society and the Red Heart World's will!]

This is the first grand feast you've prepared for the world of pure hearts.

What kind of profound foundation must a world possess to naturally nurture hundreds of native demigod-level powerhouses?

Although these demigods were not very strong, they were even no match for the weakest demon baron in Hell.

However, if this foundation could be fully absorbed, coupled with the power amplifier formed by the Red Heart Society's battlefield experience and constantly iterating wisdom accumulated across multiple time periods, it might be able to support that ultimate ambition.

[With the combined power of mortals, let us rise up against that so-called true god who is high above us!]

Especially that damned God of Blood Prison!

You have to admit, you're a petty person.

[The Red Heart Society will not let anyone who has offended or harmed them, whether human or divine!] [However, if possible, you would still prefer the number of demigods in the Red Heart Society to increase several times, or even dozens of times.]

[After all, the more top-tier experts there are, the stronger the overall explosive power of the Red Heart Society will be!]

In October of the 137th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after various retrospective investigations and screenings, the World Will of Sophia finally identified the Human Empire as a traitor to this world.

[Therefore, Sofia World relayed the highest order from the world to the frontline command.]

[Use any means necessary to eradicate the human empire!]

Humanity as a species should not exist in this world!

This order, once issued, instantly caused an unprecedented shock within the command center's decision-making hierarchy!

However, when the frontline command dispatched elite troops, even ten demigods joining forces, they discovered that the borders of the human empire were already fortified with powerful military equipment capable of threatening demigods.

[Deep within the cannon barrel, thick enough to fit into a dragon, lay a dark blue, mixed energy—the kind that could obliterate demigods—coupled with a blinding light that instantly condensed to the point of freezing one's soul.]

Its core temperature and energy level caused the demigods who had just arrived and were about to deliver their divine pronouncements to collectively change color!

How could a weapon powerful enough to threaten a demigod possibly exist in this world?

Even if the world of Sophia faces annihilation, they will absolutely not allow such a weapon that threatens their lives to exist!

This is irresponsible towards all demigods!

Before they could retreat, a sword beam that cleaved through the world descended from the sky.

[Having recovered to his peak condition and surrounded by the rules of swordsmanship, the Sword Elder beheaded the seemingly powerful demigod Sophia with a single sword strike.]

Dead silence!

Absolute silence!

The entire aerial battlefield was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

The nine Sophia demigods, who had been so high and mighty just moments before, fell silent in the face of the horrifying reality of their companion being instantly killed.

[Is this a demigod?]

Which demigod can kill another demigod with a single sword strike?

All the previous attacks crumbled instantly!

[How dare they even mention trial?]

【retreat! 】

Retreat immediately!

For these high-ranking demigods, preserving their lives was the top priority.

With the support of the Sword Elder, the Human Empire unleashed its full power, expanding aggressively into the world of Sophia.

Because the Red Heart Society is the mastermind behind the Human Empire, its power is growing stronger as the Human Empire expands and the Red Heart World Will, which is currently fighting within the World Will's controlled areas, continues to rise.

From initial frantic attempts to escape, the battle gradually reached a point of even strength.

[And in the end, they were almost able to overwhelm the will of the Sophia world.]

[However, the world will of Sophia is, after all, a mature world will. While it may be helpless against the Abyss or other worlds, it is quite capable of dealing with its own people.]

But just as the world of Sophia was preparing to unleash its global power to incite a rebellion against the Red Heart Society within the human empire, a scene that astonished it unfolded.

[A soul barrier rose along with the human empire's borders, blocking all normally invincible forces of world intervention.]

This is the pinnacle of the Chixin Society's achievements in the previous timeline!

[Perhaps the methods used to deal with the ever-evolving tactics of the Will of Hell were somewhat ineffective, but against the vile ideas of the Sophia world, it was practically a game-changer.]

In April of the 138th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, just as the Crimson Heart World Will was rapidly growing stronger by consuming vast amounts of flesh, bad news arrived.

Seeing that it was no match for the enemy, the World Will of Sophia actually informed the Abyss Projection Will, which was being corrupted by the Abyss, of the situation.

[When the power of the Abyss's projected will extended, it paused slightly upon detecting the aura of the Crimson Heart World's will.]

[This was immediately followed by a fit of rage!]

[Sophia's world, that's His prey!]

But now, His prey is being drained to death by another of His own prey?

How can this be possible?

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Soon, under the control of the projected will of the abyss, the various entrances to the abyss battlefields within the Crimson Heart World began to frequently erupt in chaos.

A projection of the abyss, even more powerful than the world of Sophia, has descended upon the world of Crimson Heart!

The world of Crimson Heart is about to face a large-scale invasion led by the projected will of the Abyss.
