Chapter 309 If you dare not offend the Star Demon God, how dare you offend yourself?
【quiet!】

【silence!】

The surrounding area was completely silent!

The entire abyssal plane seemed to be paused at this moment, even the most violent abyssal storms froze in mid-air.

The eternal howls of demons and the wails of souls vanished mysteriously under the indifferent tone of the Heart Demon God.

The demon who had come to question them fell silent.

In the abyss, the strong reign supreme!

This rule also applies to demons.

[Aren't those so-called rules just rules that top-tier demon gods like the Heart Demon God led the signing of?]

[He only came to inquire because He saw that His investigation had been disrupted, and because this rule was originally established by the Heart Demon God.]

On the one hand, let's assess the situation.

On the other hand, why would the inner demon do this?

[Throughout these unfathomable years, He witnessed many trials and tribulations by demons.]

Among them, quite a few are entangled with inner demons.

[Those inner demon gods didn't get involved; in fact, they strictly forbade the inner demon race from participating.]

Why is it that when it comes to Him, the inner demon god has such a bad temper?

Look at what you just said!

This is completely slapping your own face on the ground!

【All right! 】

[I am indeed no match for the Demon God, nor do I wish to engage in direct conflict with him.]

Just as He had nothing more to say and was about to leave, a sigh echoed softly in the surroundings.

The sigh seemed to come from eternity ago, resonating directly in the deepest recesses of this demon god's heart.

The Demon God slowly rose, and the surrounding spiritual authority began to bloom.

Countless rays of spiritual light burst forth from His body, each ray containing a terrifying emotion powerful enough to drive a true god mad.

Since we're already here!

There has to be something left behind, right?

As soon as the words left his mouth, this demonic will collapsed rapidly under the strangulation of the mental authority.

At the same time, the true form of the Heart Demon God tore through space and stepped out.

When the demon's body was fully revealed, the entire abyss trembled.

[His skin radiated a seven-colored spiritual light, and his long hair danced like a living thing, each strand seemingly connected to the joys and sorrows of a world.]

From the very beginning, the Star Demon God dispatched the Star Demon race to participate in the war concerning the world of Avia. Even the Star Demon Supremes acted as henchmen for the Red Heart Society, fighting openly on the front lines.

[And I, at the last moment, merely managed to acquire a weapon of moderate size.]

[And then someone came to their door to confront them?]

[Oh, the Star Demon God is renowned throughout the Endless Abyss, and is quite cunning, so some demon gods dare not offend him.]

"So you dare to offend me?"

The Demon God suddenly laughed, a laugh that drove all the demons within a radius of ten thousand miles into madness.

Some began to self-harm, some knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and some even exploded and died.

[It seems that my long absence from the Endless Abyss has caused some demons to forget the terror I once wielded.]

In an instant, a seven-colored rainbow burst forth from the Demon God's body, instantly engulfing the entire abyss.

Where those lights touched, even space itself began to "remember" the fears of the past.

[The Authority of the Mind!]

In some ways, it is no less powerful than the authority of the stars!

As the true form of the Heart Demon God walked out openly, the demons of the Endless Abyss all turned their attention to him.

Their divine senses tacitly maintained a safe distance, fearing they might be drawn into this turmoil.

What is this Heart Demon God, who just fought the Blood Demon God, planning to do now?

[A keen-eyed demon has noticed that the Heart Demon's attire this time is different from usual.]

[The opponent wore a battle robe woven from countless souls, the standard attire of the Heart Demon God when preparing to unleash his full power.]

Why did the usually quiet inner demon suddenly become so violent in such a short period of time?

In July of the 154th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after conquering the forty-second level of Hell and receiving the sixth wave of blessings from the Abyss, Agluius sought to secure the title of Supreme Lord for his direct subordinate, the Ember Demon Baltok.

On the lava battlefield, Agrelius stood atop a mountain of demon corpses, his dark red armor still dripping with enemy blood.

He looked at Bartók standing before him, his old subordinate who had fought alongside him for many years, and who deserved a better position.

After all, in the previous timeline, Bartók was among the demons under His command who were most fanatical about the Red Heart.

[Agrius gazed at the familiar, yet younger, demonic face, recalling the desperate moment before his retreat from the Red Heart Society headquarters in the previous timeline.] [When the Red Heart Society's last line of defense was breached, it was Bartók who led the remnants to defend the teleportation array, buying time for the civilians to evacuate.]

Even as it was burned to ashes by the holy light, the stubborn Ember Demon did not retreat a single step.

Therefore, He needs to consider the future development of the Red Heart Society.

Although he couldn't openly support the Red Heart Society now, Aglios knew very well that these loyal subordinates would become the Red Heart Society's strongest backing in the future.

Although He led the Lava Army away from the Red Heart Society in an effort to sever ties with them.

[And unless absolutely necessary, they will not collect information from the Red Heart Society.]

[Each time He passed through an area controlled by the Red Heart Society, He would even have to come up with some excuse to take a detour.]

[But based on my experience from the previous timeline, at this point in time, the Crimson Heart Society probably only has Sword Elder as a demigod.]

Agrelius's fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the lava throne.

[At the same time in the previous timeline, the Red Heart Society was indeed only supported by Sword Elder, a demigod.]

[Including myself, there are only two of us.]

Now that I'm not here, the number of demigod-level experts in the Red Heart Society is probably even smaller.

At most, only two!

Even if three thousand future warriors crossed time and space to come, so what?

[In the previous timeline, it took so long to comprehend the rules and become a demigod of rules, yet here he became a demigod of rules in just a few decades?]

If traversing time and space can enhance one's understanding or soul, why don't I feel it?

He looked down at his palms, which were covered in lava patterns. Due to the difference in time, the intelligence and combat power he possessed, the power he now wielded was indeed much stronger than at the same time in the previous era.

[But that's because they've received multiple blessings from the will of the abyss and have a deeper understanding of the rules of combat.]

In other words, this power originally belonged to them in the previous timeline.

[While both phrases refer to crossing time and space, they are not directly related.]

Therefore, after careful consideration and deliberation by His intelligent mind, the Red Heart Society is currently in an awkward situation of lacking advanced combat power.

[Of course, with the advent of faith-based divine runes, you, as the founder of the Red Heart Society, can borrow the power of faith to unleash the defensive capabilities of a true god.]

[While one can rely on the power of faith, this is ultimately a minor path!]

In the final battle of the previous timeline, He witnessed firsthand how the Abyss Demon God and the True God of Hell crushed the true god of faith.

Only a true god, like those in the Heavenly Pantheon who take faith to an extreme, can confront the Abyss and Hell head-on.

However, the true power and mobility to contend with the Abyss and Hell are those of the true gods who wield authority over the spirit realm.

Most importantly, wielding power means being bound by the world's constraints.

[If one can control the omnipresent rules of the world, then the combat power of all parties will be greatly amplified.]

Having experienced the power of the True God of Rules, He now firmly believes that the True God of Rules is the only true path to success.

As he pondered, Agrelius's molten body began to glow; what flowed within him was no longer simple lava, but molten fire imbued with a trace of the power of rules.

[In the previous timeline, this was a level of rule depth that He only grasped hundreds of years later, but now He has mastered it ahead of time.]

As His believer, the founder of the Red Heart Society, and the creator of the rules and divine path, your current use of the power of faith is merely a temporary measure.

[As long as Chixin overcomes its initial weak development phase, the future will surely be the time when the rules blossom!]

[He seemed to have already foreseen that future, where the banner of the Red Heart Society would be planted throughout the heavens and myriad realms, and every warrior would wield the power of rules.]

When a million demigods gather, even true gods must bow their heads!

If a hundred True Gods of Rules were to emerge from the Red Heart Society, the entire Spirit Realm, the Abyss, Hell, and Heaven would tremble under the Red Heart Society's oppressive power!

Therefore, let's set a small goal first: when I've accumulated enough power to advance to the True God of Rules, I need at least ten direct descendant Supreme Lords by my side.

As for the servants or enslaved people recovered through war?

They're just a bunch of opportunists!

As long as you have enough strength, you won't lack this thing.

What He truly lacks are warriors of the Red Heart Society who, even when their own affairs prevent them from doing so, are still willing to protect the Red Heart Society and fight for its ideals!

In August of the 155th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the appearance of the true form of the Heart Demon God aroused vigilance among the gods of the Heavenly Pantheon and the Spirit Realm.

What exactly is this master manipulator, this demon who even uses the world as his guide, planning to do at this sensitive time?

Only gods can fight against gods!

This is a consensus among all pantheons!

[Therefore, the ruling archangel of Heaven, through the various intelligence gathered from Heaven's comprehensive channels, reported this matter to the ancient rulers.]

[Upon learning that the Demon God's emergence was related to the conflict between the two ordinary worlds, the various realms extended their divine senses.]

This matter!

[Unusual!]

[With the consensus of the Heavenly Sovereigns, the Radiant Lord, whose influence is most widespread and whose praises have endured for the longest time in the spiritual realm, emerged from the heart of Heaven.]
