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

Chapter 268 The Last Sanctuary of the Pioneers
[In the year 284 of the Extraordinary Calendar, all the arrangements you made for your physical body before your death, the last layer of protection left for the Red Heart Society, were breached by the Holy Spirit Legion.]

Just when everyone thought that the Red Heart Society's last line of defense would collapse completely under the Holy Spirit Legion's faith-based onslaught, and that the founder's remains would be destroyed, an unexpected change occurred!

The body, which should have been controlled by the pre-programmed procedures of the Fifth Generation of Red Heart, suddenly erupted with a radiance of will that surpassed the limits of any energy detector.

The next action further shattered the chains of control imposed on the body by the Red Heart Society.

[You, the physical body left behind by the founder, suddenly raised those eyes that once pierced through the dark universe.]

Although there was no flame of the soul in his eyes, only a deep, primordial emptiness like chaos, this deathly gaze made everyone feel that he was scanning the world of red hearts, now reddened by the flames of war.

At that moment, no one could understand the logic behind this physical body's behavior.

Is it the deep-seated, dormant consciousness of your founder that has etched a materialistic attachment to this land?

[Or was it the Soul Forge's final response, a collection of the thoughts and feelings of millions of people?]

Or perhaps, it was you, long gone, looking back one last time at the end of time?

No one knows why the physical body left behind by the founder of the Red Heart Society would do this.

[But after taking one last look at the Red Heart Society in his physical body, he completely immersed himself in the fervor of faith.]

The next moment, a giant of faith, formed from countless beliefs, materialized outside the Crimson Heart World.

The giant of faith, its entire body ablaze with white light, resembled the world's last guardian, launching a final attack against the ever-charging legions of Holy Spirits and Angels.

The physical body you left behind should have only been used for defense, relying on the power of faith.

[While immersing oneself in the fervor of faith and using one's last strength to protect the Red Heart Society, one can instinctively mobilize the power of faith to launch an attack.]

[You couldn't achieve this in your lifetime, and even the Red Heart Society Research Institute's century-long research into the power of faith couldn't break through it, yet your own body accomplished it after death.]

No one knows how the founders managed to create the physical body they left behind, and that's no longer important.

All the members of the Red Heart Society who witnessed this scene were deeply moved and burst into tears.

They knew nothing else, but they knew that the founder who had led them to stand up and live a happy life in life was still protecting them in death!

[Even for their safety, and to create a final window of opportunity for their escape, the physical remains of the founders stood up abruptly.]

Even in death!

[Still cherishing the Red Heart Society!]

Even if we leave, we will still provide these loyal followers with final protection!

[In an instant, the Red Heart Society's spark members, who were supposed to evacuate according to the original plan, were swept up in a surge of patriotic fervor, ready to accompany you, the founder of the Red Heart Society, in another battle against the heavens.]

Start the engine!

【Target!】

[Beside the giant of faith!]

We must ride the wave of the pioneer's glory and let him lead us on another charge!

If we can die fighting alongside the pioneers, we will have died a worthy death!

[Roars echoed through the frontline public communication channel.]

Although the soldiers spoke differently, they conveyed the same meaning!

[With such a loyal heart protecting them, how could they possibly let their founders down?]

If the Red Heart Society is destined to perish, then it must be after their deaths!

At this moment, the surviving soldiers' eyes no longer held calm fighting spirit, but burned with a mad rage of mutual destruction.

[Demon Suppression Alliance!]

Never back down!!!

[Follow in the footsteps of the pioneers—!!!]

Charge forward!

A mournful roar echoed through the heavens.

The unity fostered by the red heart's ideals burns to its peak at this moment!

[But Lin Xue, remaining calm and rational, issued a direct order through the Red Heart Society headquarters!]

[Everyone!]

[Immediately proceed with the original plan to retreat!]

After saying this, Lin Xue paused for a moment.

The next moment, a heavy voice resounded in the ears of all the members of the Red Heart Society.

Fellow countrymen!

Grief must not be a reason to lose one's mind! The pioneers burned their last embers not so that we could use pointless sacrifices to whitewash their tragic farewell!

Survive!

[Preserve the flame!]

[Passing on the ideals!]

[In the more distant future, let's rekindle the flame of our passion!]

This is the highest respect we can pay to the pioneers!

This, too, is the heaviest responsibility!

At this moment, the courage required to turn and retreat is far greater than the courage to rush into the flames of destruction!

Living requires an indomitable spirit even more than sacrificing oneself!

[Thus, under Lin Xue's forceful orders and the strict execution of the Fifth Generation of the Red Heart Society, a large number of Red Heart Society members were sent to other worlds as planned.]

Of course, a large number of members simply ignored Lin Xue's incessant chatter.

The main force among them consists of the loyalist allies and demon-suppressing allies who fervently worship you.

Others can leave, but they cannot!

I don't want to leave either!

If it weren't for your absolute command, these pure warriors who followed you through countless battles would have already left this world with you.

But now, the Red Heart Society is facing its greatest crisis.

The angelic legions are lurking outside, while the major forces of the spirit realm are also poised to invade at any moment.

In such a situation, they could indeed escape; they could travel to other worlds to avoid the risks and preserve their lives.

[In a state of absolute rationality, this is indeed the case.]

But them!

I don't want to run anymore!

They miss you!

But just as they finished assembling and prepared to fight to the death, an unexpected person appeared.

Lin Xue held a long sword, her battle armor billowing in the surrounding blood-red wind.

She looked at the combined soldiers ahead and smiled slightly.

Everyone!

Please forgive me for being a coward!

Today, let me fight to the death alongside you!

In the year 285 of the Extraordinary Era, the barrier of the Crimson Heart World was destroyed, and a large army of angels descended upon it.

When they defeated the Allied Forces members who stood in their way and arrived in this world as victors, they were met with a desolate, empty world.

The members of the Red Heart Society who were willing to sacrifice themselves have already died in the line of duty that tried to stop them.

Those who were willing to evacuate had already completed their final withdrawal under the arrangements of the Red Heart Society.

This is completely different from what the angels envisioned; the ratio of casualties to gains is also severely unbalanced!

Even the mockery of demons and devils echoed in my ears at just the right moment.

However, at this point, the demons and devils were quite rational; they changed their way of speaking, which they used in the abyss and hell, and began to return to normalcy.

[Since we're going to be criticizing the angels, we can't use the same tactics as with the Abyss, or we might end up making them go wild with our criticism.]

Thus, a battle ensued where demons and devils stood on the moral high ground, employing tactics used by angels against other beings to morally criticize the angels.

The devils and demons know the Red Heart Society all too well.

[Perhaps to the enemy, Chi Xin is ruthless when it comes to taking action.]

But if they are one of our own, then Chixin will be an absolutely good person!

Even some powerful individuals who fell into the abyss lamented that if they had been born in the Crimson Heart World, they would never have suffered such a tragic fate.

Even if they were, as long as someone stands up for them, they will never fall into the abyss!

Amidst the combined slap in the face and pointing fingers from the Abyss and Hell, the angelic legions launched an attack on these enemies emitting strange noises.

However, just as the Angel Legion attempted to extract the essence of the Crimson Heart World to compensate for its losses, a terrifying wave of destruction erupted from the core region of the Crimson Heart World.
