Chapter 371 The Goddesses' Schemes, Wang Meng's Counterattack
[The void beyond the spirit realm, the Abyss of Burial Soldiers, a place even the gods are unwilling to easily enter.]

This place was formed during the Third War of the Gods. In that war, the will of the Abyss and the will of the Spirit Realm personally intervened, directly shattering the void and triggering a chaotic upheaval.

Therefore, even the divine power of the gods is greatly suppressed when they arrive at the Abyss of Burial Soldiers.

However, the gods' divine senses couldn't reach him, which conveniently provided Wang Meng with the perfect opportunity for a breakthrough and advancement.

After all, anywhere outside the Great World is a place where rules flow.

As a high-ranking member of the Red Heart Society, if his promotion process is disrupted, who knows what unforeseen events might occur.

Although he had nine goddesses protecting him, to be honest, as a man of pure heart, he didn't particularly trust these nine goddesses whom he knew so well.

[It's true he's impulsive, but when it comes to things like ascending to godhood, it's perfectly normal to take some precautions.]

After all, even the most foolish person, after serving in a high-ranking position in the Red Heart Society for hundreds of years, would have developed some political wisdom and strategic acumen.

[Wang Meng was well aware of the power struggles between the Red Heart Society's higher-ups and the gods, as well as the various great worlds.]

Knowing all this, it would be incredibly foolish not to take any precautions and preparations.

Therefore, this region, capable of suppressing the power of the gods and even affecting their divine thoughts and connections, is excellent!

[At the moment Wang Meng sat cross-legged in the center, his body surging with the power of rules, time seemed to be compressed to its absolute limit.]

The next moment, an extremely pure and violent will suddenly erupted from the core of Wang Meng's battered yet resilient body.

That wasn't an energy shockwave, but rather an ultimate resonance originating from the deepest, most fundamental source of combat in the universe.

The ripples generated by the resonance spread outwards from Wang Meng as the absolute center.

In the void, countless fragments of shattered divine weapons, fallen dragon bones, and even gigantic remains transformed from the battle remains of enormous creatures, floating in the Burial Abyss of Soldiers, which had been dormant for millions of years, began to stir.

At this moment, resonating with the rules of battle, they seemed like dead souls fully awakened from an ancient slumber, emitting a hum originating from the deepest recesses of metal and will.

In an instant, a vast and boundless chaotic nebula, composed entirely of pure fighting spirit, frantically converged above the void.

Its color was like solidified blood flames combined with tempered essence; its power was like the earth-shattering roars of billions of gods and demons compressed into a single point on the final battlefield.

At the core of this vast battle nebula, a cold, ruthless rhythm of battle laws, yet imbued with an absolute sense of order, began to resonate powerfully!

As Wang Meng was being nurtured by the rules of battle and began his ascent towards the divine path of battle rules, ripples emanated from the surrounding area.

Nine graceful figures, each with a unique form and surrounded by different divine radiance, floated silently on the edge of this raging torrent of rules, like stars guarding them.

They were of different shapes and appearances, but their gazes toward Wang Meng were strikingly similar—a cold, scrutinizing gaze devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

[Those nine pairs of divine eyes, each representing a different authority, reflected every minute detail of Wang Meng's struggle and transformation within the torrent of rules, as the divine veins within his body were forcibly inscribed with the rules of battle.]

Just as Wang Meng's battle rules began to transform, the first thing the nine goddesses did was to use their divine power to seal off the Burial Abyss of Soldiers.

【seal up!】

A clear, crisp sound, like the lapping of an icy lake, suddenly rang out in the surroundings.

The emerald green divine patterns originating from the delicate hand of Anaria, the goddess of life, instantly spread, transforming into orderly vines that covered countless stars.

[At the same time, the resounding will of Elune, the goddess of night, followed closely behind!]

A web of countless runes, woven together in the darkness, rises layer upon layer all around!

[Nine goddesses, almost simultaneously, used their powers to cause the cold, harmonious oracle to resound.]

The ocean's azure hue roars amidst its raging waves.

Following closely behind were the earth's solid, imposing walls and the scorching power of the blazing sun.

[Nine divine powers, representing the authority of the spirit realm, merged instantly under a silent contract of will, like an ancient divine array of impeccable precision.]

In an instant, it completely enveloped this starfield that had become a crucible of battle rules.

[Isolation!]

【distortion!】

[Blurring!]

[All ripples in spacetime, energy fluctuations, and rule anomalies that could potentially reveal crucial information about this ascension to godhood were forcibly suppressed by the combined force of nine great powers.]

These nine noble goddesses, with their supreme authority, carved out a secret observation box belonging only to them in this star-abyss land that suppressed the power of the gods.

They invested a great deal of effort in Wang Meng, which allowed them to observe firsthand and witness the demigod of the rules ascend to godhood.

Therefore, other gods who have not made any contribution are not qualified to watch.

Therefore, it must be sealed off!

Even in the later stages of their ascension to godhood, when unusual phenomena frequently occurred and divine will extended outwards, they would work together to sever it.

[The observation and reference by the nine deities are two different things from the observation and reference by all the gods.]

Most importantly, the fact that they can invest in the same person shows that they are not mortal enemies.

No matter what, everything else is negotiable, but when it comes to the path of the True God of Rules, there's no room for discussion!

Wang Meng was also pleased with this outcome.

After all, it's better to play it safe a bit when advancing to the True God of Rules.

In the year 900 of the Extraordinary Era, Wang Meng's understanding of the rules of combat reached its peak. With Agrus having paved the way in advance, Wang Meng's process of establishing his godhood through the rules of combat proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

[The Rules of Battle Become Gods!] [After the fall of Aglios, the Red Heart Society has finally welcomed another true god of rules!]

Although the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God also achieved the status of True God of Rules within the Red Heart Society, how could two gods who underwent reconstruction compare to Wang Meng, who cultivated his way up to the highest level of True God of Rules?

Most importantly, Wang Meng's pursuit and unwavering commitment to his ideals are unmatched by the Demon God.

[The instant Wang Meng ascended to godhood, a violent battle aura erupted, instantly shattering the barrier erected by the nine goddesses.]

The shattering of the barrier and the emergence of the new god instantly attracted the attention of all the gods.

But in that very instant, the Goddess of Night felt the time was ripe and made her move.

[He waved his right hand, and a brilliant black light bloomed at Wang Meng's perineum.]

The divine power of the night surged all around.

The power emanating from within might not cause Wang Meng any real harm, but it should be enough to temporarily immobilize him.

The Goddess of the Night's overtures and investment in Wang Meng stemmed entirely from her understanding of the rules of the Divine Path.

But what could be more detailed than imprisoning a true god of rules, and personally studying their body and soul, even their divine fire and divine spark?

Therefore, from the very beginning of her conversations with Wang Meng, who knew her inside and out, she had already started preparing for this.

[However, if the Goddess of Darkness is like this, the other goddesses are not naive either. How could they not have taken precautions against Wang Meng?]

In that instant, multiple divine lights shone brightly from Wang Meng's eyes, ears, anus, and even his genitals.

Among these nine goddesses, two held different views from the others.

Those are the goddess of light and the goddess of life!

It's not that these two goddesses don't yearn for the Divine Path of Rules; it's simply that they understand that with the combined investment of all nine goddesses, things will never go so smoothly.

Therefore, they did the opposite.

Only pure passion can defeat scheming.

They're here to help Wang Meng; their sole purpose is to help him ascend to godhood using the rules of combat.

Most importantly, they have a thorough understanding of the Red Heart Society.

Because of your influence as the founder of the Red Heart Society, high-ranking members like Wang Meng, who have followed you from the beginning, are all those who respond better to gentle persuasion than force.

Given Wang Meng's personality, the most direct approach is sincerity!

Therefore, as long as they can help Wang Meng overcome this calamity, the future path to divine rule will naturally follow without them having to say a word.

Therefore, the goddess of light and the goddess of life acted simultaneously, each stopping the two goddesses.

[Among them, the Goddess of Night received special attention from both goddesses.]

However, Wang Meng was not entirely unprepared for this.

The distrust of deities can be stronger than the abyss or hell itself!

Seeing his comrade's performance after becoming a Crimson God, he understood that apart from the path of the True God of Rules, all other paths to godhood were pitfalls!

The god of authority might be even more deceitful than the god of faith!

Therefore, he was well prepared, especially since the combat essence left behind by Aglios was now within his body.

【Boom! 】

[With a deafening roar, an extreme power, not belonging to him, suddenly erupted from Wang Meng's body.]

The surging power of the very essence of the rules of battle surged within him.

This was the first time he had drawn upon the resources left by Aglios after embarking on this path.

At this moment, centuries later, the power left behind by Agrelius before his death ultimately protected the new god of the Red Heart Society.

When the gods' thoughts reached out and saw Wang Meng unleashing his full power, furiously smashing the three goddess avatars, they were slightly taken aback.

Although Wang Meng was unremarkable among the high-ranking members of the Red Heart Society and had no particularly outstanding achievements.

As one of the representatives of the Red Heart Society, the gods still paid some attention to Wang Meng.

Therefore, the gods immediately recognized Wang Meng's origins.

【The Red Heart Society!】

[It's the Red Heart Society again!]

First it was Agrus, then the Star Demon God, then the Heart Demon God, and now it's Wang Meng!

It can be said that the Red Heart Society has almost completely monopolized the path to becoming a true god of rules.

Although the God of Thunder Phoenix seems to have no connection with the Crimson Heart Society, is there really no connection?

[Sacrificing the authority of the spirit realm in exchange for advancement on the path to godhood—isn't this Agris's method?]

[We're walking the same path, and that's okay?]

However, what truly shook the gods was not anything else, but Wang Meng's racial identity!
