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

Chapter 325 The Hellish Demons Become a Hot Commodity
The origin of the Life Crystal World was devoured by the Crimson Heart World, and the cultivation system and all extraordinary information of the Life Crystal World were collected by the soldiers of the Allied Forces and sent to the Crimson Heart Society Research Institute.

The World of Life Crystals, a world that has given birth to a hundred demigods, boasts a long and rich history.

Of course, according to the Red Heart Society's assessment, even without the invasion of the Abyss, the insane and distorted cultivation methods of the extraordinary beings in the Life Crystal World would eventually destroy their world.

Such a world would inevitably leave behind a vast amount of resources and treasures.

The files on the Life Crystal Cultivation System presented to the Red Heart Research Institute were truly shocking, causing intense physical and mental discomfort to countless researchers with more conservative views.

Therefore, research on the world of life crystals has almost entirely been undertaken by radical factions.

Although the cultivation system in the Life Crystal World is extremely abnormal and heretical, in the eyes of the radical faction of the Red Heart Society, everything has its merits.

They believe that ethical standards are defined by the Red Heart Society.

Since the extraordinary beings of the Life Crystal World are not human, then there's no need to treat them as human!

The research institute's mission is to analyze the essence of its crystal core, the mechanism of soul refinement, and energy sublimation.

[Find out any valuable aspects that the Red Heart Society can utilize; anything that can advance the Red Heart Society's extraordinary technology will be a huge profit!]

Thus, the days that followed were filled with tedious and brutal deconstruction and reconstruction for the Life Crystal World Analysis Department.

The various departments of the research institute act like precise scalpels, cutting into the life crystal system to extract and absorb information from all aspects.

The Biology Department studies how the physiological structure of Life Crystals coordinates life energy from different sources, while the Energy Department analyzes how their crystal nuclei efficiently purify and transform heterogeneous soul power.

The Rune Department dismantled the soul-branding chains and energy-guiding arrays that controlled the Crystal Slaves, while the Soul Research Center focused on refining and integrating the essence of the soul.

In June of the 190th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society Research Institute summarized the cultivation system of the Life Crystal World and combined it with the Red Heart Society's smelting technology to refine it. After removing the unstable factors existing in the Life Crystal, its essence was preserved, resulting in a rare soul smelting technique.

The smelted soul crystals can effectively increase a professional's soul potential and comprehension aptitude, greatly enhancing their self-control.

This item is enough to shorten the arduous journey of an excellent ninth-level warrior on the path to demigodhood by decades or even centuries!

[A general from the operations department held the test report, his hands trembling slightly.]

However, the Soul Crystal test report is marked in scarlet: too many cannot be refined at once, otherwise, it may lead to uncontrollable consequences such as qi deviation.

Regarding the issue of Soul Crystals, various departments within the Red Heart Society Research Institute have proposed their own solutions. Based on the deductions of the sixth generation of the Red Heart Society, it is estimated that within a hundred years, the drawbacks of Soul Crystals can be resolved to the point where they can be widely adopted.

The appearance of Soul Crystals not only brings potential but also opens a new door to strategic resources!

[In the ongoing research into Soul Crystals, the stronger the soul, the higher the purity of the Soul Crystal produced, and the better its effects.]

Soul strength ≈ Soul crystal quality.

This conclusion instantly illuminated a completely different light in the decades-long, meat-grinding war of attrition between the Red Heart Society and Hell on the border!

What is hell?

That was demonic soil formed from a pure mixture of souls and endless negative emotions; one could say that creatures born from hell possessed extremely powerful soul potential from birth.

There was nothing we could do; those with low soul potential were all dead.

The dominant creatures of Hell, especially higher demons, are themselves high-energy aggregates of pure soul energy.

At this moment, with the development of Soul Crystals, in the eyes of the Red Heart Society, the demons are walking, rebellious, and even strategically valuable sources of high-quality Soul Crystals!

One of the biggest problems facing the Red Heart Society right now is precisely in hell!

Thanks to the Red Heart Alliance's tenacity and early technological advantage, the Red Heart Alliance successfully established a foothold in the nineteenth level of Hell shortly after its invasion.

Meanwhile, a massive fortified defense complex was built on the nineteenth floor to extend the battle line and provide defense.

However, the nature of the war here is completely different from that in the abyss.

The Abyss's Will, in fact, harbors a twisted tolerance towards the Red Heart Society and all forces invading the world.

The Abyss's Will doesn't care that the Crimson Heart Society occupies Abyss lands; in fact, it secretly hopes that more members of the Crimson Heart Society will be stationed long-term within the Abyss.

In its view, time is the best magic dye.

[Given enough time, the members of the Red Heart will eventually be assimilated by the chaotic rules of the Abyss, transforming into a new generation of powerful demons and becoming part of the Abyss.]

But hell is different!

The closer one gets to the core of Hell, the more intense the omnipresent, twisted whispers of Hell's will and the waves of mental pollution become.

Even elite warriors of the Red Heart Alliance, wearing Soul-Stabilizing Marks and Spirit-Nourishing Amulets, with their souls protected by Thought Imprints, cannot maintain a clear mind in this environment for extended periods.

[After more than twenty years, they risk becoming corrupted or suffering a sharp decline in combat effectiveness.]

Therefore, the Red Heart Society had to implement a rotation system for the Hell War Zone.

[Each Demon-Suppressing Alliance and Guardian Alliance, after 10 years of intense battles in the 19th level of Hell, must return to the Crimson Heart World for a 5-year period of spiritual purification and recuperation.]

[If you really can't stay idle, you can relax in the Abyss Battlefield or the second-tier world raiding battlefields designated by the Red Heart Society.] [Only when the corruption of Hell has completely disappeared can these warriors return to Hell to guard it.]

This not only severely restricts the Red Heart Society's expansion into the Hell region, but also represents a huge drain on resources.

[From maintaining transport for rotations, managing losses from intense frontline combat, treating the wounded, and providing psychological counseling.]

Every step involves astronomical sums!

Now, the emergence of Soul Crystals and the equation "high-quality soul = Soul Crystal raw material" have completely changed everything!

[The Hell realm, which previously caused the Red Hearts some headaches and even forced them to adopt a conservative defensive strategy, having only managed to conquer one level of Hell interface over the years to build their defenses, has now leaped forward, transforming from a tough nut to a hot commodity.]

[Therefore, the Red Heart Society's war strategy against Hell began to undergo a pivotal change.]

[Previously, when I raided Hell difficulty, aside from obtaining a batch of mineral resources and Hell's unique extraordinary resources, I gained nothing else.]

Even the devils of hell use disgusting methods, constantly resorting to all sorts of schemes and tricks.

[Regarding the definition of Hell, Chixin feels it's somewhat of a double-edged sword.]

[Tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away!]

[If they didn't want the flames of hell to reach the Red Heart World headquarters, the Red Heart Society probably wouldn't even want to occupy the nineteenth level of hell.]

[There's no way around it; the Crimson Heart World isn't the will of the Abyss, and it simply can't forcibly devour the crimson essence of Hell.]

[Occupying such a platform creates a huge imbalance between income and effort.]

But now!

The offensive and defensive strategies have shifted!

[Hell is practically a giant soul crystal mine. Under such a powerful attraction, even the Red Heart Society's development direction has to yield to the greater good of the Red Heart Society.]

In some ways, even the Abyss has begun to lose its value within the Red Heart Society.

Whether it was the high-level meetings of the Red Heart Society, the joint command headquarters, or members of other departments of the Red Heart Society, all turned their attention to Hell after the arrival of the Soul Crystal.

Even Agris was already itching for battle.

[After all, the Will of Hell is utterly cowardly; when faced with the strong, it cowers and only dares to launch sneak attacks.]

However, when faced with a world or organization inferior to oneself, the will of hell will strike with full force.

If the Red Heart Society were to make harvesting demons and refining soul crystals a national policy, it would inevitably invite the retribution of the will of hell.

He had prepared for all of this.

[If any hellish true god dares to make a move, then He will dare to rush into the opponent's divine realm and smash it to pieces.]

[He could even roughly guess who the true god who had taken action was!]

God of Blood Prison!

[Agrius prided himself on his extensive combat experience with this lackey of the Will of Hell.]

In April of the 191st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, under the coordination of the Red Heart Society, the hundred Demon-Suppressing Alliance Corps withdrew from the Abyss front lines and moved into Hell.

[In the same month, the Demon Suppression Alliance and the sword-wielding demigods who had entered the area received the highest orders.]

[Attack the 20th, 21st, and 22nd levels of Hell!]

[After the Red Heart Society consolidated its main fighting force on the front lines of the Abyss, its simultaneous attack on the three realms of Hell—something that seems absurd in other worlds—was simply normal behavior for the Red Heart Society.]

[Because Hell's Will had been monitoring the Red Heart Society, it directly detected the change in the Red Heart Society's strategic objectives.]

After obtaining information about the Crimson Heart Soul Crystal through various means, the Will of Hell has come knocking again.

He stated that the Red Heart Society's ability to research and develop Soul Crystals demonstrates their strong connection to Hell!

[As long as the Red Heart Society joins Hell, Hell will welcome them with open arms, and Hell will grant them all ten layers of the realm as their territory.]

[In response, you remained silent, focusing solely on comprehending the power of the rules within the void.]

[But whether it's a problem with your own soul talent, a limitation of the ultimate realm, or a constraint created by the power of faith within you, you're unable to grasp the basics of the rules.]

[Don't even mention drawing rules into your body; after all this time of contemplation, you haven't even grasped the essence of these vast, boundless rules.]

It's as if there's a thick barrier between you and all these rules.

Even if the true god Agrus stood before you, personally demonstrating the Dao of combat rules for you, you would feel nothing.

To put it simply, it's like trying to wink at a blind man—it's completely useless!
