Chapter 231 The Journey to Achieve the Goal of "Everyone Becomes a Dragon" Begins

Finally, after a considerable period of stalemate in the tacitly coordinated, almost perfunctory, tug-of-war between the Star Demon Clan and the Crimson Heart Society, even the high-ranking members of the Spirit Demon Clan, who usually remained indifferent to the conflicts of other demon races, began to lose their composure.

[The Spirit Demon Supreme, Yugel, renowned for his profound spiritual perception and insight, conveyed a subtle embarrassment and admonition through his elegant thoughts as he directly communicated with Star Demon Commander Karim using his divine sense.]

[Lord Karim, isn't the art of war employed by the nobility a bit too poetic?]

[The will of the abyss is determined to conquer the Crimson Heart World; we, the spirits and demons, must analyze and direct the battle reports from the front lines.]

Even if our two races have a long-standing history, and even if your side does indeed have secret plans.

However, some consideration must be given to maintaining appearances for all parties. At the very least, in such a brutal war, it is acceptable to allow one or two prominent core members of the Star Demon noble family to bravely sacrifice themselves on the front lines.

The nobles' techniques of creating mirror puppets and stardust substitutes have always been exceptionally sophisticated in mitigating the risk of annihilation.

[Deception and tragic sacrifice—isn't this exactly what nobles excel at?]

In the end, Yugor's helpless smile clearly conveyed one meaning.

I know you and Chixin have some kind of deal going on, and I also know you're just slacking off.

But at least give us some face; don't make it obvious that you're being perfunctory!

In matters like this, it's best for everyone to get along.

Even if it's going to be a theatrical performance, wouldn't there have to be some plot twists or dramatic conflict?

Don't go too far!

Even if you and Chixin are to cooperate, some key figures should at least die, even if it's just a faked death!

The Spirit Demon race is renowned among the Abyss races for its cunning and reluctance to easily make enemies. They hold a deep-seated fear of the Star Demons, the Abyss's most cunning and scheming clan, whose very souls are imbued with plotting and intrigue.

Offending the Star Demon?

[Perhaps one day a singularity capable of triggering spatial storms will appear beneath your cultivation cave, or your carefully nurtured direct descendants might suddenly turn against you.]

Therefore, the message from the Spirit Demon Supreme was less a protest and more a plea for the Star Demon Clan to give them some face, even if it was just a show!

Since the Spirit Demon Supreme had given him face, the Star Demon Supreme naturally wouldn't let him lose face.

After all, their request this time is reasonable.

Thus, Star Demon Commander Karim began to formulate his plans.

Not long after, a plan called "Twilight Funeral" came to Karim's mind.

[Target of sacrifice: Lorenzo, Commander of the 7th Sequence.]

The cutting of this script should be tragic!

Thus, a scene unfolded on the Star Demon battlefield where a core member of the Star Demon race, especially Lorenzo, the commander of the Seventh Sequence Battle Group, was seized upon and annihilated by the Red Heart Society's Guardian Alliance.

After this incident, the Star Demon Legion even held a sorrowful funeral on the battlefield.

[Most movingly, the commanders of the Lava Demon and Gold Demon clans, two war zone commanders known for their muscular builds, displayed an unusually high level of grief upon receiving news of the heroic fall of their noble Star Demon commander, Lorenzo.]

The Lava Demons dispatched a large delegation, personally escorting over a dozen massive monuments forged from solidified lava hearts, and even included enough Infernal Gold to arm several Star Demon squadrons as a token of their appreciation.

Commander Morton of the Golden Demon Clan generously allocated a batch of rare energy crystals, recently transported from their clan and yet to be distributed, directly to the Star Demon Legion.

[They claim that heroes need wealth to glorify their names!]

When the Spirit Demon Supreme Yugel received the battle report, his elegant mental core twitched slightly as he looked at the images of the Star Demon's grand funeral and the mountains of condolences piled up by the Gold and Lava races.

[Isn't this acting a bit over the top?]

[Those Star Demons... well, at least they put on an act.] [In March of Extraordinary Calendar 169, the battlefield on the Abyss front had become a super farm for the Red Heart Society to harvest high-level resources.]

[A large number of Supreme Lords and their core legions, pushed to the front lines by the Abyss's insane rewards, fell one after another in the fierce battle against the Crimson Heart Demon Suppression Alliance.]

Their remains, crystal cores, fragments of authority imprints, and numerous other extraordinary treasures were continuously sent to the massive decomposition and research factory behind the Red Heart Society.

[Massive quantities of high-purity energy blocks, fragments of rules, and essence of flesh and blood—these extremely rare substances—fill the deep space of the strategic reserve.]

Meanwhile, there is a massive backlog of demonic materials, energy crystals, and alloy ores that were of relatively ordinary quality but were still top-tier in the old Federation era.

The vast resource reserves are like a surging torrent, urgently needing an effective outlet and application.

[In October of the 169th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the internal purge and resource consolidation operation codenamed Purification was successfully completed.]

As you gaze at the resource details compiled by the fifth-generation Red Heart quantum computer, a grand plan that has long been brewing in your mind is officially put on the agenda.

[Following the expansion of the Epic Equipment production line by the Ministry of Equipment, a supreme executive order personally signed by you swept through the core of the Redheart world's military, logistics, and education systems like a hurricane.]

[The directive has only one core principle: From this moment forward, the Red Heart World enters the Armed Era.]

[Anyone who passes the Red Heart Society Awakening Ceremony, completes the Professional Awakening Ceremony, and officially becomes a registered combat member of the Red Heart Society can receive a set of low-level epic gear tailored to their specific needs free of charge from the Equipment Management Department of their respective war zone on the day of awakening.]

This order instantly ignited an uproar throughout the Red Heart Society. In the old Federation era, even the most basic elite-grade bracers were enough to bankrupt a middle-class family.

A complete set of elite gear with well-balanced attributes is an investment that top-tier noble families dare to dream of when cultivating their heirs.

Now, the Red Heart Society will distribute the complete set of epics free of charge to every young person who has completed their awakening and gained initial mastery of extraordinary powers.

This is a blatant example of using resources to crush the talent barrier!

[The core objective, nurtured by an epic torrent, is: Everyone can be a dragon!]

The equipment worn by professionals is always the fastest way to climb from mediocrity to power.

When even the most humble new generation of professionals are starting from an epic point in their lives, their life's beginnings have been forcibly elevated to a level unimaginable in the old era.

The resulting explosive demand instantly ignited the long-dormant industry engine of the Crimson Heart world: the rune enchanting market experienced exponential growth, with countless enchanting masters establishing their own schools, all to fulfill your specific commands and meet the ultimate pursuit of rune attribute compatibility for epic sets.

Equipment enhancement services have become the hottest industry overnight, and various enhancement furnaces powered by the unique energy of the Abyss have lit up like stars in various starports.

The high demand for rare catalytic crystals required for equipment upgrade systems has driven a leapfrog expansion across the entire mining, exploration, and refining industrial chain.

Even artsmiths, specializing in transmogrification and customization of epic set appearances, have become highly sought-after professions.

A massive market ecosystem based on nationwide epic narratives is operating at breakneck speed, driven by the power of the Red Heart Society.

Your will, amidst this tide, remains as cold and clear as the star core of a world suspended high above.

The Red Heart Society's ideals have always been to achieve a goal that is misunderstood by the world, and even considered impossible, so that everyone can become a dragon.

Only by ensuring that the growth of new blood is no longer hindered by equipment bottlenecks, and allowing them to overcome the trough in strength accumulation in the shortest possible time, can the Red Heart Society's combat power form an inexhaustible torrent of iteration.

Only when countless young people don epic-level sets and equip themselves with base combat gear crafted specifically for them can they unleash their power and talent on the Abyss battlefield.

[As their rapid growth trajectory is amplified by epic sets, the future of the Crimson Heart Society, this war behemoth, can shine with an even more dazzling and eternal light on the shoulders of each generation of young people.]

These low-level resources, piled up from the remains of the Abyss Battlefield, are, in the eyes of the current Crimson Heart World, nothing more than countless bricks paving the way for the future.

In this era, co-written by the drama of star demons, the gifts of devils, and the expansion of righteous hearts, the righteous blueprint you have drawn up is gradually being realized.

What you really need to do is not to surpass your individual strength!

[Star Demon is absolutely right. What you truly need to do is use the miracles you create to lead an era, a world, collectively to a higher and more extraordinary level!]
