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

Chapter 237: The Final Battle Against Hell in the World of Avia! (Two Chapters Combined)

[The Red Heart Society did not immediately respond to the plea for help from the world of Avia.]

After all, what's more valuable than eagerly offered assistance in a life-or-death crisis?

More importantly, according to relevant intelligence, Avia's power has not yet been truly pushed to its breaking point!

Their potential, especially regarding the All-Spirit Cannon, will only be revealed when they are forced to surrender their truly valuable assets on the brink of despair!

Entering the fray rashly will only be seen as a duty, or even lead to being caught up in internal power struggles, wasting valuable resources!

The warriors of the Red Heart Society are willing to sacrifice themselves for the realization of their red ideals.

[They are definitely not a fire brigade for the world of Avia!]

However, out of consideration for their allies, the Red Heart Society still sent its deepest concern to the world of Avia at the first opportunity.

Soon, a heartfelt expression of concern was sent out.

[We are deeply saddened to learn of the calamity that has befallen you. All members of the Red Heart Society feel our deepest sympathy!]

[The Red Heart Society is fully coordinating internal resources and assessing support pathways. Please remain steadfast in your belief that the Red Heart Society stands with Avia!]

[The Covenant of Safeguarding Will, We Will Remember It!]

At the end of the document, the Red Hearts also attached technical guidance suggesting that Avia prioritize organizing effective resistance forces and evacuating key personnel.

The suggestion from the Red Heart Society is very heartwarming.

[The author expresses deep empathy for the current state of the world of Avia being invaded by Hell, both in words and expressions.]

But these words convey the same meaning over and over again, and within these warm words lies the one promise that can extinguish the infernal fire of Avia.

When will the Red Heart Society's army arrive?

What is the timeline for the support operation for Avia?

What are the specific support plans?

[According to Article 3, Section 5 of the Overwatch Covenant: When one party faces a threat of invasion, the other party is obligated to provide necessary assistance to the best of its ability.]

However, the right to define necessary boundaries falls under the decision-making and evaluation responsibilities of the Chixin Association at the implementation level.

Everyone knows that rules are rules, and enforcement is enforcement!

How can a living person be restricted by rigid rules?

Most importantly, the attitude of the Avia world towards the Crimson Heart world was quite hostile recently.

[Now, or in the future, it is highly likely that the world of Avia will need the help of the Red Heart Society.]

[The Red Hearts' need for the world of Avia can only be met by the All-Spirit Cannon!]

If the Avia world acts as if it wants to get something for nothing, even if it doesn't align with the Red Heart Society's interests, then the Red Heart Society will definitely not be foolish enough to just go there.

Of course, when the world of Avia is on the verge of destruction, shattered by Hell and invaded by the Abyss, the Red Heart Society can still enter as an ally.

When the world of Avia received a caring greeting from the Red Heart Society, but remained silent about the crucial information of when they would arrive to provide support, it became clear what the Red Heart Society truly intended.

We're all seasoned foxes; there's no need for us to play tricks on each other.

Meanwhile, the sacred sites of the Avia religion had long lost their former sanctity, the air seemingly thick with the dust of blood and ash.

When the warm yet impeccably worded reply from the Red Heart Society was presented to the public in the dilapidated sanctuary, the Pope, his robes stained with blood, gripped his scepter tightly in his withered hand.

That empathy felt like the coldest mockery; though he had expected it, it still chilled him to the bone.

The Red Hearts Society's response was completely different from everything stated in the Watchful Alliance signed at the time.

Even if Chixin were to ask them for help, they would still demand exorbitant prices and might even add fuel to the fire at crucial moments.

As the de facto ruler of the world of Avia, there are some things he can do, but things his allies do are somewhat unacceptable to him.

After all, the concept of empathy doesn't exist in the culture of the world of Avia.

However, he was still very clear about the Red Heart Society's intentions.

Therefore, Pope Avia believes there is no need to test them any further!

What the Red Heart Club wants is common knowledge!

Thus, under the orders of the Pope of Avia and with the resigned acquiescence of the demigods of the Avia world, a silent war of negotiation began at the headquarters of the Red Heart Society.

The initial proposal from the Avia world to partially open the core area of ​​the All-Spirit Forging Cannon and provide some information nodes for observation and evaluation by the Red Heart faction immediately silenced the Red Heart Society.

[The Red Heart Society possesses the Myriad Spirits Divine Path cultivation system, sent by the Will of Hell, and has already conducted its own research on the transformation of superficial faith power into inscriptions.]

[What's the difference between this proposal from the world of Avia and the Red Heart Society getting something for nothing?]

Therefore, the Red Heart Society negotiator looked at the Avia delegation opposite him and responded with a smiling silence.

During the negotiations, he simply drank tea and chatted with the Avia delegation, expressing his own pursuit of lofty ideals.

As for the pitiful state of the world of Avia?

[The Red Heart Society was once besieged by both the Abyss and Hell. Didn't they experience such a tragic fate?]

[Because of their past experiences, the Red Heart Society's current glory is all thanks to the Red Heart Society fighters who burned their lives and their future.]

Therefore, they must make the most of their strengths to ensure that the frontline soldiers reap the greatest benefits.

We can't expect our soldiers to bleed on the front lines while we, out of some pity, disregard their lives.

That's something only a traitor would do!

The Red Heart Society negotiators were prepared. This time, they remained silent. Once the Avia World made concessions, they would begin their shameless, frivolous antics in this solemn negotiating setting.

What does saving face matter if it brings greater benefits to the Chixin Society?

[As long as things can get better with a sincere heart, sacrificing everything is worthwhile!]

Ultimately, through repeated negotiations, the world of Avia made continuous concessions.

Meanwhile, the Red Heart Society's negotiation team spared no effort, using every means at their disposal, to extract all the resources the Red Heart Society needed from the world of Avia.

[Following strong protests from the Avia delegation, three negotiators from the Red Heart Society were replaced in succession.]

[The Avia delegation discovered that the more negotiators they changed, the more outrageous and demanding the Red Heart Society's requests became.]

[They seem to genuinely respect the Avia delegation, but in reality, they show no respect whatsoever!]

In order to obtain the support of the Red Heart Society as soon as possible, and also to improve the dire situation in the world of Avia, the Pope of Avia personally issued the highest order.

[If the Red Heart Society can stop the relentless onslaught of demonic waves on the eastern defense line of Avia, then the Red Heart Society will be permitted to closely observe and record the core fluctuations of the All-Spirit Forging Cannon.]

[At the same time, the Red Heart Society Research Institute is permitted to dispatch an elite research team of no more than three hundred people to conduct the highest level of on-site observation in the inactive state of the core area of ​​the cannon casting site.]

If the Red Heart Society can help the world of Avia stabilize its western defenses, then the world of Avia will allow the Red Heart Society to bring some analytical instruments into the Cannon Forging Area to collect data.

Lin Xue smiled slightly after receiving a personal call from Pope Avia, who disregarded negotiation etiquette.

[It seems the dangers in the world of Avia are beyond the Red Heart Society's predictions.]

Otherwise, the Pope of the world of Avia would never have acted so recklessly, disregarding the bigger picture.

[Maintaining the principle of striking a few times whenever possible, Lin Xue continued to advocate for the Red Heart Society.]

Her reasons were also quite valid: the battlefield is constantly changing, and building defensive positions at temporary jump points requires a massive amount of rule stabilizers and strategic reserves.

A research team of 300 people would likely find it difficult to complete such a massive data analysis task.

This might jeopardize your chance to survive!

[The Red Heart Society suggests increasing the number of personnel in the on-site observation team to one thousand, excluding engineering operations and related security personnel.]

[The list of instruments carried can be adjusted according to your review requirements. However, based on safety standards, basic maintenance and testing of the cannon core are required during the Chixinhui observation process.]

[His words were full of concern, but in reality, they were all covetous of the All-Spirit Cannon.]

But how could Pope Avia allow Lin Xue to have her way so easily?

Even if he didn't care about these things, even if the three hundred or one thousand members of the Red Heart Society were insignificant to the world of Avia.

[Negotiation is possible, but the price must be negotiated down!]

He knew a golden rule: in the trading arena, regardless of whether you truly care about a particular asset, you must adopt a completely ruthless attitude.

Only by showing your opponent your heart-wrenching pain and the pain of losing flesh and bone will they feel a sense of satisfaction when they reap the rewards, a feeling of "I won, I gained a huge advantage."

At this stage, the world of Avia is begging the world of sincerity.

Therefore, he had to give the Red Hearts this sense of satisfaction, making them think that the world of Avia was a fool.

After all, everyone wants a naive and innocent ally, so that Chixin can continue to take advantage in the future.

If he readily agrees to the Red Heart Society's demands now, Lin Xue will only think he's asking for too little!

There's still room for exploitation in the world of Avia!

Most importantly, if he agrees too readily, it will inevitably make Lin Xue somewhat unhappy.

In the face of global security, one's own personal gain is insignificant.

[As long as it can change the miserable state of the world of Avia, let alone just acting out a play, even if it means kneeling down and calling Lin Xue "Mother," it's all acceptable.]

Ultimately, after numerous negotiations between Lin Xue and Pope Avia, the matter was finally settled.

Although the observation team still numbers three hundred, Pope Avia has relaxed the restrictions on the number of Red Hearts security personnel.

[The Red Heart Society can arrange for a Demon Suppression Joint Team to come and ensure the safety of the researchers.]

[But aren't the entire size and organization of the joint missions all under the Red Heart Society?]

[If someone is truly determined, a demon-suppressing alliance could easily number in the millions!]

[It makes sense for the joint mission to have its own group of researchers, right?]

Within such a large coalition, there are separate, dispersed teams; isn't this a normal strategic deployment?

Pope Avia had her own considerations regarding this deliberate loophole she had left.

The more troops the Red Heart Society has stationed at the Cannon of Ten Thousand Spirits, the more likely they are to intervene if the core of the Avia world is threatened, even for the sake of their own researchers.

As for the Red Heart Society's repeated research on the Myriad Spirits Cannon?

Please!

How long have the world of Avia been researching the All-Spirit Cannon?

Most importantly, Avia's history is replete with brilliant sages and demigods who attempted to unravel its mysteries.

[The most famous pioneers of wisdom, Ilor; the knowledgeable Albert; and the spatial deconstructor Martha—all have left a profound mark on the history of the world of Avia.]

Which of them didn't dedicate their entire lives and exhaust their wisdom to observing, deducing, and attempting to imitate?

【The results of it? 】

[Either you go mad within the labyrinth of rules, or you exhaust your divine blood and are devoured by the sacred artifact!]

[Even more extreme attempts were made to forcibly imprint the Daoist mark of the cannon-forging process, only to be shattered by the rules governing the Myriad Spirits Cannon, their souls returning to the starry sea.]

[How could a bunch of ants from the Crimson Heart Society, who aren't even at the ninth level of cultivation, possibly understand the runes and rules that even demigods can't comprehend?]

Even if, by the very least, we manage to figure it out, this place would still be part of the territory of the Avia world, its stronghold!

Ultimately, wouldn't the world of Avia be the one to benefit?

[They squander the resources and manpower of the Red Heart Society, exploit its manpower and army for free, and ultimately serve the world of Avia.]

What a great idea!

Therefore, he actually welcomed all of this in his heart.

After all, different perspectives lead to different ways of thinking.

[While the world of Avia may appear to have collapsed at present, the overall situation is still largely intact!]

As long as the control of the All-Spirit Forging Cannon remains in the hands of the Avia religion, as long as the religion still possesses sufficient faith power, and as long as it can still activate the All-Spirit Forging Cannon for attacks, then the sky will not fall!

The All-Spirit Cannon can bombard the abyss, it can bombard hell.

Why can't we just criticize the Red Heart Society?

[The Red Heart Society wants to take advantage of the situation to carve up a piece of the Avia world, so naturally he also wants to use the Red Heart Society's technological capabilities to benefit the Avia world.]

The ignorance of the masses is the source of the oppressive policies of the Avia religion since ancient times.

The fact that ordinary people are ignorant does not mean that religious leaders are also ignorant.

The Red Heart Society possesses extraordinary technology, but it cannot be popularized among the general public.

[The Red Heart Society's technology can still be applied within military units and agencies that are absolutely loyal to the religion.]

Therefore, this is destined to be a win-win situation, the kind where the world of Avia wins twice.

Lin Xue roughly understood Pope Avia's thoughts.

After all, what fool sits in the position of a world ruler?

Even in the extraordinary world, someone with a lack of political acumen would absolutely not be able to hold this position securely.

[Unless Pope Avia possesses the power to overcome all obstacles and crush everything.]

According to the Red Heart Society's investigation of the world of Avia, the demigods of Avia are mostly at a middling level in terms of power.

The only thing that allows the Pope to overwhelm other demigods is probably control over the Cannon of All Spirits.

The cannonballs for the All-Spirit Forging Cannon are formed from a massive amount of faith power, making them extremely precious.

Unless someone is completely insane or the situation has reached an extremely dangerous point, no one would use such a world-destroying weapon in a civil war.

After all, if that shot lands, it will truly be a matter of life and death!

Therefore, Pope Avia is definitely not a fool who would reveal his emotions during negotiations.

[Then it's easy to guess what the other person is thinking, isn't it?]

With the assistance of Red Heart Fifth Generation, and under the overwhelming power of superhuman technology, Pope Avia's inner thoughts were almost entirely marked in the most conspicuous position by Red Heart Fifth Generation.

When Deng Qi finished his own business and came to see this farcical negotiation, he couldn't help but laugh.

This Pope Avia isn't good-looking, but he certainly has a dream!

In February of the 181st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the Crimson Heart World had not yet completely dissipated. After a short rest, the soldiers of the Allied Forces donned their armor once more.

The elite research team had already assembled, and the specially approved Demon-Suppressing Alliance escorting them was also ready.

The five Demon-Suppressing Alliances gathered together, forming a million-strong army, and marched in a mighty force towards the core area of ​​the world of Avia.

At this crucial juncture, a Star Demon Supreme, disguised as someone else, was personally overseeing the operation.

After all, the infighting between allies is no less intense than the attacks from the abyss and hell.

Since the Crimson Heart World and the Avia World established diplomatic relations, how many spies have each side sent into the other's world?

[On this side of the world of sincerity, how much is true and how much is false? They went to investigate.]

[But those from the Avia world who came to the Red Heart Society here, to be honest, they're all spies and infiltrators.]

To put it bluntly, in a world with such a high-pressure political system as Avia, unless you're a spy or infiltrator, you simply have no chance of leaving the world.

[But with the Red Heart Society being such a large, transparent group, they know exactly what the spies in the world of Avia do every day, even what color their underwear is.]

However, the Red Heart Society still managed to leak some basic information to the world of Avia.

After all, higher-sequence civilizations have a natural attraction to and a corrosive effect on lower-sequence civilizations. The more the Avia world understands the Red Heart Society, the deeper its desire for them becomes.

Under these circumstances, the Red Heart Society will naturally reap increasing benefits.

[In the same month, when the Red Heart Alliance's unique cluster of mobile defensive fortresses tore through the void at the edge of the battlefield and descended with terrifying force, the Hell Army's previously unstoppable advance noticeably faltered for a moment.]

[The Demon Grand Duke in charge of commanding this War of Avia, the ruler of the fifty-two levels of Hell, Ascalon the Soul Eater.]

He sat astride the war throne crafted from the crystal of pain, his eyes gleaming.

As a high-ranking representative of the will of hell, extending its tentacles here, Ascalon had long foreseen the Redhearts' intervention through the corrupting eyes that permeated the void.

After all, for him, the alliance between the Crimson Heart World and Avia was no different from anything publicly stated.

The Red Heart Society's desire for the cannon-casting technology of Aviana is an open secret.

Therefore, the Red Heart Society will definitely not stand idly by and watch Avia collapse!

Just as the Red Heart Army began to deploy its defensive formation, preparing to strike the Hell Army, a strange mental transmission, imbued with a strong hellish aura, resounded in the mind of Deng Qi, the supreme commander of the Joint Support Group.

【My esteemed Commander, Ascalon the Soul Eater, extends my highest greetings to you and your esteemed founder!】

Please do not misunderstand; I am using the cultural etiquette of humankind, not the polite language of the Abyss's rebellion.

After exchanging greetings, Ascalon began to express his true intentions to Deng Qi.

Since war between the two sides is inevitable, we must minimize our losses.

The vast territory of the world of Avia is a perfect battlefield!

[Do not let the flames of war spread to each other's own territories.]

The world war he is in charge of will absolutely not spread to the world of the truly righteous first.

Therefore, he also hoped that the Red Heart Society would not spread the flames of war to Hell, especially not to the fifty-second level of Hell where he resided.

[Both sides can wage an otherworldly war here!]

[Since it's not my world or territory, I can fight however I want!]

During the war, he will never subject the Red Heart World to any form of spiritual pollution or soul traps. Within his authority, he can provide the Red Heart World with a relatively peaceful environment for development.

The Red Hearts did not respond after learning of Ascalon's proposal.

[However, amidst the escalating conflict between the two sides, Chixin will demonstrate his acceptance of Ascalon's proposal through his actions.]

To be honest, if we can compete on other worlds, why bring the war to our own territory?

[Especially for the Red Heart Society, as long as the war doesn't take place in the Red Heart World, they can bring out their many explosive weapons and make a proper appearance.]

[Especially based on ultimate military weapons, various military extensions have been made!]

The supreme lords are tough and resilient.

But the great demons of hell are not skilled in physical combat.

Thus, a full-scale war between the Red Heart Society and Hell broke out on the third-party battlefield of the world of Avia.

The Star Demons were naturally also paying attention to this war.

[After all, the Will of Hell has made many probing moves during this period. If it weren't for His intervention, the Red Heart Society would probably have already sent down a true god of hell.]

[The Star Demon also noticed the Myriad Spirits Divine Path cultivation method transmitted by the Will of Hell.]

But He did not interfere in this matter.

Through this period of observation, He has roughly come to understand your true personality.

[The Red Heart Society, they are absolutely your most precious treasure.]

For the sake of the Red Heart Society, you would certainly not hesitate to give your life.

[As long as you have a sincere heart, you'll be able to develop better; you don't really care much about your fate.]

[Now, the Red Heart Society is in a very critical situation.]

If He makes even the slightest mistake, the Red Heart Society will be destroyed in an instant!

So He is very curious, what will you choose?

Can one become a deity through the power of faith?

Or is there another way?

[As the founder of the Red Heart Society, who frequently creates miracles and even causes the will of hell to suffer, I have very high expectations for you.]

Although you are now just a lowly ant, in His heart, you have already been placed on a level above that of a demigod.

Of course, your importance is still far less than that of the true God.

After all, your survival and that of the Red Heart Society depended entirely on one of His experimental attempts.

Who would take their experimental products, which they've carelessly handled, too seriously?

Even the Star Demon, watching you manipulate the ten Star Demon Supremes and even have its descendants cultivate the so-called Rule Resonance Technique, occasionally had the thought of trying it out in depth.

Perhaps your ability to create miracles doesn't lie in cultivating your subordinates.

Perhaps your strengths lie in other areas.

After all, the Red Heart Society still relies on the abilities of its younger generation for its development; He could see the Red Heart Society's impending doom hundreds of years from now.

Ultimately, the promise you made before Him was very powerful, and it showed a strong conviction in your own ideas.

Therefore, Star Demon thought that perhaps they could extend the timeline and conduct an attempt with a 99% chance of failure.

What if it succeeds?

For a demon god as high and mighty as Him, a one in ten thousand probability is actually not low.

[Throughout history, a sudden inspiration told Him that the miracles the Red Heart Society could create were far more than what was before Him.]

However, the warning in His heart was in stark contrast to the future He had foreseen.

He greatly enjoyed this strange, contradictory feeling.

That's exactly how it should be!

[The point is to make your reasoning flawed!]

The more one's sincerity transcends His calculations and deductions, the happier He is.

Only in this way can He find a glimmer of hope to transcend the control of the Abyss's will in the future of the Red Heart Society!

However, your next action caused Star Demon to frown.
