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

Chapter 355 You Ran Away

The Demon God was utterly bewildered. He had expected you to do something earth-shattering, but after all this time, this is it?

[A prototype resembling a divine artifact—if Chi Xin were to cause such a commotion under normal circumstances, it would earn Him special attention.]

【But now!】

It's almost gone!

What's the point of doing all this?

That thing, rather than being a prototype of a divine artifact, was more like an embryo containing some incomplete Daoist essence, or perhaps a key?

But at this moment, in the mind's perception, which had endured countless millennia of turmoil, the value of this thing, compared to the resources it consumed and the oppressive feeling of this catastrophic catastrophe, seemed utterly absurd!

Is it meaningful?

The next moment, the Demon God's thoughts, a mixture of exhaustion from primal depletion and utter bewilderment, echoed in your mind.

"This is the thing you created by exhausting your savings, even using up half of Agrelius's life savings?"

【Yes! 】

This piece of equipment is definitely something special!

[It contains the seeds of rules, but it doesn't belong to any system I recognize.]

[Under normal circumstances, in the eyes of those lower-ranking deities, it might be considered a remarkable potential divine artifact!]

But what are you going to do with it now?

As he spoke, the Heart Demon God's will suddenly surged, taking on a touch of the Abyss Demon God's unique Eastern aura.

With this heavenly pantheon hanging overhead, ready to evaporate your little pond at any moment, are you trying to hasten your demise?

[Or do you want to use it as a stepping stone to get yourself higher and get hit by the blows?]

Most importantly, what were you thinking as the creator? Why didn't you hand over this prototype of the divine artifact to the successor of the Red Heart Society, but instead wore it yourself? What were you planning to do?

Is he perhaps planning to clash with the enraged pantheon of Heaven as a false god?

[If the Red Heart Society currently had dozens of True Gods of Rules, He wouldn't have any objections.]

The key issue is that the only true god of the Red Heart Society is still engaged in some pointless little tricks in the distant Heavenly Pantheon.

Even if it dealt an irreparable blow to the religious dominance of the Heavenly pantheon afterward, what good would that do?

The Red Heart Society is gone!

What's the point of using it now?

You ignored the inner demon's suspicions and offered no explanation, simply asking them to stall for time.

During this time, you arrived at the core area of ​​the Crimson Heart World.

[Faced with this world that once only knew how to cry, but now, under your manipulation and influence, has developed some characteristics of the righteous will, you are filled with mixed emotions.]

When you return to this primordial ocean of the world, composed of pure world essence and symbolizing the abode of the world's will, your feelings are complex.

This place was once the starting point for all life, but now it is filled with an atmosphere of resolute desolation.

The will of the Crimson Heart World seems to have been prepared for your arrival.

[Immediately following, a vague yet deeply sorrowful and powerless wave of will, like the sigh of a candle flickering in the wind, spread the moment you arrived.]

【Om! 】

Without a word, the primordial chaos that gave birth to all things began to surge violently.

[The boundless, brilliant essence, containing the accumulated life essence, the splendor of creation, and the foundation of the order of all things over billions of years, is being forcibly stripped away under the influence of an invisible force.]

The next moment, the sounds of the world echoed around us.

I am aware of the current predicament.

【terribly sorry!】

[It is because of my incompetence that Chixin has to continue to be threatened and intimidated by the Heavenly Pantheon, and even has to relocate and flee in various ways.]

If I were stronger, if I possessed the power of the abyss and hell, how dare the heavenly pantheon act so arrogantly?

I'm so sorry!

I've dragged you all down!

As the will of the world, the Red Heart Society has helped me so much, allowing me to grow to a level I never imagined before, but I do not have the power to protect you.

However, the very essence of the world must not fall into the hands of the enemy!

【Now! 】

I entrust to you everything except the very essence that sustains the world's normal operation. Take these essences and leave the World of Red Heart!

No matter what, the source must not fall into the enemy's hands.

When the enemy descends upon the world, I will complete the final act of righteousness that Akane has always dreamed of!

[Pull the enemy along!]

【perish together!】

You listened to the world's whispers and sighed.

The next moment, you firmly declared, "We lost in this timeline, but we haven't truly lost!"

The next dimension will surely follow in our footsteps, soaring ever higher!

In the future, I will slaughter all these gods, leaving not a single one alive!

At that time, the Crimson Heart World will surely become a vast world comparable to the Abyss and Hell!

After saying this, you took away the essence of the world and turned to leave.

[The will of the Crimson World watched your departing figure, and a crimson silhouette slowly took shape.]

Immediately afterwards, a low murmur echoed around.

【I trust you.】

[In September of the 288th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society, under your forced arrangement, carried out all evacuation operations.]

Even the loyal followers of the Loyal Alliance, who were willing to die alongside you, were teleported to the region of the Titan pantheon under your forceful reprimand.

[And in the world of Chixin, Chixin will pack up everything that can be taken away and take it with him.]

[Anything that can't be taken away will be disposed of on the spot by the Chixin Society!] [In short, prepare for the worst; we'd rather destroy it than leave it for the Heavenly Pantheon.]

After the last member disappeared from your sight, you felt a deep emptiness inside.

[Afterwards, you will absorb all the faith power accumulated by the Red Heart Society over the past few hundred years into the second-generation divine runes, and wear the ten sets of second-generation divine positions prepared for you by the Red Heart Society Research Institute.]

You are making final preparations for the battle; you may die, but before you die, you must do everything you can to buy time for the Chixin Society.

In March of the 289th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, all the power supporting the Heart Demon God in the sky shattered.

[And in the instant the protection of the inner demon vanished, your majestic figure stood proudly outside the world of pure heart.]

In an instant, unparalleled divine power from Heaven swept over you in an overwhelming onslaught.

Under such terrifying divine power, even ordinary true gods would likely tremble.

And you!

[A mortal being who has not yet reached the level of a demigod stands here at this moment, facing the terror of the heavenly pantheon.]

Even with the second-generation divine runes within your body operating at their peak, and unparalleled power of faith gathering around you, it was still nearly thrown into disarray by the impending Heavenly Judgment.

When the gods saw that you were the only one present, their gazes shifted slightly.

【one person! 】

【Confront the Gods! 】

Although, as gods, they must uphold divine authority.

[But how long has it been since we've seen such a legendary, epic scene?]

Putting everything else aside, it's good to have some fun!

Seeing your resolute stance, the Lord of Radiance of the Heavenly Pantheon was so enraged that he manifested his form.

[Founder of the Red Heart Society!]

I believe I've been friendly enough to you!

But your attitude has chilled us to the bone!

How can there be such shameless people in this world?

The wrathful voice of the Lord of Light echoed around, and at that moment, countless voices reverberated, accusing you of your immeasurable sins.

[But your expression remained unchanged, as if all the world's accusations were irrelevant to you.]

Finally, the Lord of Judgment descends, declaring that your death alone will not quell the wrath of the heavenly pantheon!

The wrath of the gods can only be quelled when everything concerning a pure heart is completely destroyed.

Of course, if you surrender and willingly go to the Heavenly Pantheon to be punished for billions of years, then the Heavenly Pantheon might consider giving the Red Heart Society a lighter sentence.

The Heavenly Pantheon establishes all order and is the initiator and creator of that order!

Therefore, as long as you surrender and hand over the control of the Crimson Heart World, the rightful authority of the Crimson Heart Society, including the power of faith and various extraordinary technologies of the Crimson Heart World, the Heavenly Pantheon will surely treat you leniently.

[You ignored the Lord of Judgment's nonsense. That map of the Yan Kingdom is way too short, isn't it?]

[He showed his true colors after only a couple of sentences.]

[And even a fool could tell that this is a lie!]

Just as the gazes of the heavenly pantheon and all the gods fell upon you, and even the Lord of Judgment was about to capture you, you spoke.

Everyone!

Who told you I came here to atone for my sins?

Since you've all studied the Red Heart Society, you should understand how our Red Heart Society made its fortune, right?

[The moment this sound was uttered, all eyes were on the audience!]

[Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of the gods, the power of faith within you surged to its peak.]

The next moment, you roared to the sky, your face filled with lofty ambition, radiating an unparalleled sense of arrogance.

【I!】

[Since they were able to cultivate a force like the Red Heart Society from humble beginnings over two hundred years, they can naturally cultivate another similar one in the next two hundred years!]

So what does this insignificant Chixin Society have to do with me?

[Using the Red Heart Society to threaten and punish me? Have you all lost your minds?]

[Returning to the gods?]

If you can so easily give up everything for your own future, what about me?

Anyway, I have all the information about the Lord of Glory!

Whether the Red Heart Society exists or not, what does it have to do with me?

Before you could finish speaking, your figure, propelled by the full force of your faith, transformed into a blinding white light and vanished from the spot.

【you! 】

[Founder of the Red Heart Society!]

[A man valued by the gods!]

[The mastermind behind the Red Heart Society, who repeatedly outmaneuvered the Heavenly God System!]

[The pioneers of unwavering ideals!]

[A guardian of unwavering ideals!]

[The originator of the ideal of equality for all!]

[The heroic spirit he displayed just now, and the hearty laughter he let out, led all the gods to believe that you were going to protect the Red Heart Society with your life and dedicate everything to it.]

Throughout history, there have been many selfless people like this.

Those who have accomplished great things and dedicated everything to public service are often willing to die rather than see their hard work wasted.

But at this moment, you are an exception.

[Because the founder of the Red Heart Society, this man who should have faced death, did something that surprised everyone, under the watchful eyes of the gods, even the will of the abyss, the will of hell, and the will of the spirit world.]

You got away!
