Chapter 232 Preparing for the Next Timeline
In April of the 170th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, at the edge of the Crimson Heart World, deep within a special isolated dimension where star charts flowed, ten Star Demon Supremes floated in a void constructed of pure starlight and chaotic laws.

[In the void before them, each floated a complex diagram composed of countless flowing star trails and the frequency spectrum of the soul's origin. This was precisely the path to becoming a demigod, a path of rules they were attempting, based on their own unique circumstances.]

Even above them, a wisp of the primordial essence of the Crimson Heart World rippled around them.

This is the aura of the very origin of the Crimson Heart World!

[You mobilized the very essence of the Crimson Heart World, solely to help these ten supreme spirit demons forge their own path to godhood.]

The origin is extremely precious to any world.

[But in your view, the help these ten Star Demon Supremes have provided to the Red Heart Society after they came to it is immeasurable.]

[They even revealed various changes and secrets within the Star Demon realm while helping to upgrade Redheart Technology, all so that Redheart would possess the power to directly confront the Star Demon race.]

Since the other party has sacrificed so much for the Red Heart Society and treats you as a member, you will naturally regard them as a comrade-in-arms of the Red Heart Society!

[Perhaps for these ten Star Demon Supremes, their period of loyalty to the Red Heart Society is most likely one hundred years.]

Is a hundred years a very short time?

A century is enough time to change the world!

A century can transform the world!

[Having experienced so many time loops, in which one did you live for a hundred years?]

Therefore, a hundred years is an extremely long time for you and for the Red Heart Society.

[As long as the other party remains loyal and devoted throughout this long period, and is willing to give everything for the cause, why should you overthink it?]

Leave the future to the future!

Right now, focus only on the present!

Furthermore, if the investment of a batch of World Origin can enable these ten Star Demon Supremes to make breakthroughs, then it can be considered a return gift from the Red Heart Society for the Star Demon Supremes' assistance during this period.

Similarly, all of this is preparation for the next encounter and exchange with the Star Demon in the next timeline.

Each Star Demon Supreme is an elder standing at the pinnacle of the Star Demon race. Their life spans countless eras, and their wisdom is as profound and brilliant as a sedimented star core.

Therefore, through the essence of their life's accumulated knowledge, their profound understanding of the nature of their own souls, and the inspiration bestowed by the pure heart of the world's origin, they experienced profound insights.

To be honest, for them, this attempt was tantamount to breaking down the barriers of the Star Demon's legacy, requiring immense courage.

After all, they were already supreme lords, possessing the blessing of the abyss, wielding its authority, and wielding the power of demigods.

But now, they are exploring the second path to demigodhood.

If these two paths to demigodship were to clash within her body, unpredictable events could occur.

However, they also knew perfectly well the true purpose for which the First Ancestor had sent them.

Therefore, they abandoned the old path of relying on the star imprint of their Star Demon ancestors and began to fully open their consciousness and soul core, attempting to transcend the foundation of their own existence to touch, understand, and resonate with the stellar rules of the ultimate world.

[During this process, the Demon Research Department's related research also began to focus on these ten Star Demon Supremes.]

Although the primary goal of establishing the Demon Research Department was to serve the Lava Demon Agrelius, the first objective of this Time-Space Demon Research Department was to tailor-make a path to godhood for him, one that would allow him to break free from the limitations of the Abyss.

While Agrelius is steadily progressing under the guidance of the Molten Core path, breaking through the barriers of the rules still requires time and practical experience.

[Aglius's stagnation has caused several forward-looking research projects in the department to come to a standstill.]

The Demon Research Department, currently facing a bottleneck, stared at the ten Star Demon Supremes who were actively attempting to forge a new path, their eyes practically burning through the isolation barrier with a green light.

[Agrius is important, but these are ten demigods attempting to break free from the Supreme Lord's control!]

Every piece of data, every energy anomaly, and every successful or unsuccessful feedback on the resonance of rules holds unparalleled value for the future development and growth of the Demon Research Department.

Therefore, at this point in time, the Demon Research Department's resources are focused on these ten Star Demon Supremes.

[Aglius's progress report was temporarily shelved, and the title flashing on the research department's core screen changed to "Star Pioneers: Real-time Observation of Transcendental Breakthroughs and Inclusion of the Stellar Rule Reshaping Database."]

[In September of the 171st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, at the distant border between the Abyss and Hell, the final war ended with the Abyss completely engulfing the forty-two layers of Hell.]

[At this moment, hell is filled with heart-wrenching, piercing screams of resentment.]

Countless torn hellish mountains, shattered demonic fortresses, and blood-stained remnants of the Styx's tributaries, with their last glimmers of light, illuminate the embers of this abyssal feast of devouring.

Having reaped such immense benefits, the Abyss's Will, adhering to the principle of not pursuing a defeated foe, began calling upon the Abyss Lords to withdraw from Hell and return to the Abyss.

Completely crushing Hell is not in the Abyss's long-term interest.

[A hell weakened to the brink of collapse yet unable to be completely destroyed, a constantly bleeding wound is the best long-term blood bag and shackle to restrain its development.]

Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is never the way to safety. Giving the plump prey time to breathe allows for an even more lucrative harvest in the future.

As long-time enemies of the Abyss, how could Hell not see through its schemes?

It's been like this for so many years!

The abyss's bullying of hell has never ended!

In the eyes of some abyssal beasts, it is hell that is constantly robbing the abyss of its spoils and prey.

However, the abyss's occasional plundering of Hell's essence is the real culprit behind all of this.

Hell doesn't fight or rob, but the abyss still plunders.

[If that's the case, then we might as well go to any lengths to develop Hell. Perhaps, by extending the timeline, Hell will one day rise above the abyss.]

At that time, Hell will make the Abyss truly feel what pain is!

After the will of the abyss completely withdrew, Hell, having licked its wounds, turned its gaze to the Crimson Heart World.

Although the higher-dimensional forces of Hell did not descend upon the Crimson Heart World as expected, thanks to the intervention of the Star Demons.

However, the influence of Hell, coupled with the second will left by Hell in the Crimson Heart World, still awakened it from Hell's profound origin.

As the core of Hell's Will erupted with a command wave that pierced through planes, the crimson territory within the Crimson Heart World, controlled by the embryonic second will buried deep within it, instantly boiled over.

This crimson region, which had been ruthlessly swept and crushed hundreds of times by the Red Heart Society, began to change after the Will of Hell remotely catalyzed it with its unimaginably vast power.

This area, which had previously lurked only within the Crimson Heart World, suddenly came to life, like a terrifying creature.

At this moment, the rules of the Pure Heart World were forcibly rewritten.

Matter is being frantically reshaped by hellish energy!

The earth, like rotting flesh, writhed and twisted all around!

Countless twisted, hellish creations, like projections of the deepest nightmares, tore through the earth's surface, ripped through flesh-and-blood swamps, and coalesced from raindrops flowing with pus from the sky.

Some of them are splintered remains, randomly pieced together from skeletons and lava, with hundreds of tormented eyeballs.

Some are like flowing shadows and plagues, extinguishing life wherever they go, leaving only hellish plague-walkers that continuously spread and corrupt the scorched earth.

Even more disturbingly, at the core of the distorted rules, hellish mutants, each seemingly stitched with different advanced demonic organs and radiating an aura of authority, burst forth.

The moment the aberration arrived, it instinctively triggered a storm of rules in the region.

The energy fluctuations contained within its individual form have clearly reached the demigod level!

[From the depths of the darkness, a powerful force of inscription extended forth.]

These aberrations inherently possess models of hellish secondary divine spells, such as Hellish Cataclysm, Spiral of Pain, and Soul Plague, which are only found in the Demon Duke.

[It would be very difficult to directly create a demigod in the ordinary world.]

For a world of Hell's scale, creating demigods is not difficult.

Normally, it wouldn't be necessary, but now that His higher-dimensional attacks have been consistently thwarted, after seeing through the Star Demon's intentions, He naturally had to use His power, below that of a true god, to intercept and slaughter everything in the Crimson Heart World.

Most importantly, these chaotic creatures, born from the will of hell, are inherently capable of infecting others.

Any creature touched by their energy waves, or killed by them, will rise again, taking on a different form of existence, continuing to live in a hellish state.

In this way, the Crimson Territory becomes like a deadly cancer cell with the ability to reproduce on its own, capable of frantically devouring the flesh and blood of the Crimson Heart World.

The tragedy of former compatriots turning into vicious enemies is beginning to unfold again on the world's wounds!

[The Will of Hell will use this endless surge of mutations and the anomalies of the dead to slowly wear down the Crimson Heart World within its own body!]

Fortunately, the Crimson Heart Society has always been on guard against various invasions from Hell; in fact, the Crimson Heart Society attaches far more importance to Hell than the Abyss.

[After all, the Abyss doesn't bother with all that fancy stuff; it just gets straight to the point.]

[Even though Hell clearly has the upper hand, it insists on using all sorts of messy schemes and tricks to increase its chances of winning.]

Therefore, the Red Heart Society headquarters issued an order immediately upon the appearance of these chaotic creatures in response to this mutation frenzy.

[Utilizing the energy of the Soul Purification Mark and the Spirit Nourishing Mark, combined with their own extraordinary power, and with the full cooperation of Red Heart Technology, they annihilated this group of mutants at the fastest speed!]

[The Order of Loyalty!]

[Operation Prison Annihilation - Begins!]
