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

Chapter 220: Using the theories of the Red Heart Society to persuade the Red Heart Society

[At the headquarters of the Red Heart Society, the most heavily guarded and powerful territory of all the Red Heart Society members.]

At this very moment, the most powerful Sword Elder of the Red Heart Society and the Red Heart Alliance are also stationed here.

Furthermore, in the world of Crimson Heart, you possess the authority of the entire world to protect yourself.

Therefore, when you notice someone approaching you, immediately reveal yourself.

After all, if the other side can kill you at the Red Heart Society headquarters, then running anywhere won't help.

The Star Demon looked at you and smiled slightly.

His voice seemed to possess a unique charm, transporting you to glorious memories with just a few words.

Throughout my long existence, I have witnessed countless worlds bloom and wither under the erosion of the abyss, and I have also stood atop the peaks of numerous intelligent civilizations, savoring the breathtaking views they enjoyed as they climbed to the summit of power and understanding of rules.

I have traversed countless planes linking to the abyss, witnessing the rise and fall of numerous worlds, and countless exceptionally talented individuals who have shaken the galaxy with their unique paths.

But even if an individual's strength could cleave a galaxy in two with a single sword, its brilliance would eventually be buried by the dust of time, and its great achievements would ultimately become fossilized legends of civilization.

The true greatness that can shift stellar orbits and make them an unchangeable fact does not stem from unparalleled personal power.

Rather, it originates from those supreme leaders who can move the cornerstones of an era, reshape the lifeline of civilization, and guide the river of destiny for billions of lives into a new and unknown sea.

They may not be the strongest spear and shield themselves, but they are the beacons guiding the world out of its quagmire and towards the stars!

They are the eternal flames that ignite the darkness!

However, these beings who can shine so brightly in the mire of fate, even pulling their own race and civilization out of the mire, are ultimately a very small minority.

And you, among that extremely small minority, are a special existence.

I haven't seen such a magnificent creature in a long time.

After saying this, Star Demon paused, then slowly raised his head.

I once used starlight as my strings and spatial dust as my fingerboard to deduce the future fate of this world, which you call the World of Pure Heart.

The future of the world of pure hearts, its predetermined trajectory, is clearly visible.

Under the full gaze of the Abyss's will, the Crimson Heart World, like a fragile dewdrop, struggled, boiled, and finally vanished.

But now, because of your appearance.

A miracle of the world has been born!

The predetermined path of the Crimson Heart World, destined for annihilation, has undergone a tremendous change.

Instead of dissipating, it condensed under the giant hand of the abyss into the hardest celestial metal.

[It was not only not swallowed by the abyss, but it even had enough power to pull the abyss's extension back into its own furnace, thus transforming it into energy for its own growth.]

[Furthermore, before the Abyss's full-scale invasion, it even dared to challenge the Abyss's will to seize its prey.]

[In this world where primordial power is scarce, rules are difficult to manifest, and the divine is hard to cultivate, a powerful demigod has emerged who resonates with the rules of the sword.]

Each of these events, taken individually, is a miracle capable of altering one's destiny.

When these miracles come together, and all of them happen to you alone, then one thing is destined.

You are the true key to making it impossible for any of this to become a fait accompli!

[It is that eternal star that suddenly shines in the long river of fate, illuminating all the tributaries and forks with its own light!]

As soon as he finished speaking, Star Demon's tone began to change, and his thoughts finally conveyed a hint of seduction.

[Founder of the Red Heart Society, I see in you a resistance and contempt for fate.]

This indomitable will to fight resonates with us in a peculiar way.

Here I extend an invitation to you, and also to the miracle itself.

Would you like to collaborate with me?

[Together in the future, will we rebel against a predetermined fate?]

Looking at Xingmo's posture of striving for his ideals, you felt a slight pang in your heart.

When the words "rebel against fate," along with the Star Demon's highly inflammatory and grand vision, are presented to you, this inexplicable, almost absurdly familiar feeling leaves you feeling utterly helpless.

[This tone, this fervent idealism that's willing to overturn the table regardless of the consequences—it's so reminiscent of your rallying cry in the Human Federation back then!]

[Especially the underlying logic in their statements is almost identical.]

Is this guy trying to convince himself using the theories promoted by the Red Heart Society?

However, the "we" they refer to should be an organization.

The tone with which the other person described the rise and fall of civilizations almost completely dissected their identity before you.

This is definitely not a demigod!

[You could even say that standing before you at this very moment is a demon god!]

[The Demon God of the Star Demon Clan!]

But after becoming a demon god, wouldn't one lose their sense of self under the influence of divinity?

But judging from their current demeanor, it seems they are rebelling against fate and pursuing a sense of self-awareness.

Across from you, Star Demon glanced at you with a smile.

【really! 】

You are aware of the drawbacks of the existence of demon gods!

[Not a demon god, yet aware of the demon god's flaws.]

[In addition, the miracles represented by the Red Heart Society make Him even more eager to bring you in.]

[The Red Heart Society, an ordinary organization born from a weak world, under your leadership, fought its way through the skies and carved a bloody path through the invasion of the abyss, a colossus.] [In an era when the true gods did not intervene, the Red Heart Society was virtually invincible.]

This is just the result of several decades of development!

He came here because He valued your leadership and development abilities.

[Such a terrifying ability to create miracles, if we consider the implications, suggests that the Red Heart Society is a powerful theocratic organization possessing a true god, or even multiple true gods.]

Under your guidance, how far can it develop over several decades?

[Without saying much, even a slight, visible improvement in their organization's strength would be enough to move people.]

After learning about Star Demon's thoughts, many ideas flashed through your mind.

[To command the true God?]

Actually, if the other person is willing, you naturally won't refuse.

After all, no matter how you look at it, you're the one who benefits the most from this, right?

[If we extend the timeline, Star Demon's idea might actually come true!]

In this transaction, as long as both parties get what they want, it can't be considered a scam!

The Star Demon looked at you, its eyes sparkling with starlight.

Are you confident you can help us?

And all that's required is a negligible amount of time.

But this is not something I can decide alone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Star Demon tossed out a Star Token.

This token allows you to contact me, and it contains a wisp of starlight power that I left behind.

[In case of danger, you can be kept safe.]

I don't ask much of you. If you can help me suppress my divinity within a hundred years, then you will be my greatest contributor!

[In August of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, ten Supreme Lords of the Star Demon Clan tore open a spatial rift and appeared above the Crimson Heart Society.]

Just as the Red Heart Society was on high alert, preparing to unleash demigod-level military might to deliver a fatal blow to these uninvited guests, you simply waved your hand.

The next moment, ten supreme lords of the Star Demon race knelt on one knee in your direction.

They weren't kneeling before you, but rather for the star token hanging at your waist.

[Star Demon Clan Rules!]

[See the token!]

[It's like seeing our progenitor!]

[After these ten Star Demon Clan Supreme Lords arrived, they stated that they would obey all your commands for the next hundred years.]

Even if you told them to die immediately, they would do it without hesitation.

[You looked at this group of Star Demon Supremes and gave them your first command.]

Since you are not afraid of death, I have only one request for you.

[Regardless of the methods you use, you must accept the transformation of your sincere ideals and have the most fervent reverence for them.]

Upon hearing this, the Star Demon Supremes did not hesitate and immediately began to devote themselves to various affairs of the Red Heart Society.

The method they used was the simplest and most brutal.

[Directly integrate the definitions and theories of your sincere ideals into your soul and even your true spirit.]

When the flame of righteous indignation burns brightly in their souls, they are destined to be the most steadfast practitioners of this ideal.

However, this method only applies to beings who voluntarily undergo soul-forging.

[As long as any rebellious sentiment exists within oneself, one will either fail or perish with the collapse of one's soul and true spirit.]

Looking at the style of the Star Demon Supremes, you can tell they're all ruthless!

[Because of your lack of understanding of the Star Demon race, you begin to learn about the areas of expertise of these ten Star Demon Supremes.]

After learning about it, you became very interested.

Each Star Demon Supreme possesses immense computational power, which, combined with the Abyss Authority they wield, allows them to push their comprehension to its absolute limit.

In other words, these ten are the most outstanding research experts.

[Therefore, without any hesitation, you allowed them to join the various departments of the Red Heart Research Institute according to their respective interests.]

[With the addition of Star Demon Supreme, the Red Heart Society's major departments, including the Equipment Research Department, Array Research Department, Demon Research Department, and Armor Research Department, saw their research processes accelerate dramatically, like a reactor with a catalyst.]

The driving force behind this is quite astonishing.

However, your arrangement caused the Star Demon, who was secretly observing, to frown slightly.

He believes that with your wisdom, you should understand why he arranged for ten of your younger relatives to come to the Red Heart Society.

[As a god!]

Every action is extremely important!

They are not incapable of obeying someone's commands, but the primary prerequisite is that that person must possess the ability to inspire their obedience.

[Wasn't it said that it could enhance their abilities?]

[First, elevate these demigod descendants within the clan, let them see the light.]
