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

Chapter 401 The God-Making Plan is About to Begin!
[At the heart of the Spirit Realm's Red Heart Society, before the colossal alloy gate that resembled a star-forged furnace, the atmosphere suddenly froze, as if at the core of a glacier.]

In a fleeting moment, the surrounding space was torn apart by an invisible divine power.

The next moment, spatial portals, like light and shadow curtains leading to the ends of different universes, suddenly opened above the fortress.

The first to emerge was the Thorn Saint Envoy from the Thorn Crown.

He was clad in a magnificent robe woven with starlight and thorns, and behind him stood twelve holy martyrs, radiating intense divine power and possessing icy gazes.

The deputy commander of the Starbone Iron Cavalry followed closely behind, riding a colossal mount forged from star cores. Meteor hammers, densely covered with runes of law, hovered around him, and a torrent of iron armor behind him emanated a chilling metallic aura of killing intent.

Further away, the high priests of the Watchers' Cult, along with representatives from more than ten other divine races renowned throughout the Spirit Realm: the Crystal Winged Ones and the Shadow Singers.

They did not come alone this time.

Behind each one was a powerful aura of light and shadow, projecting the phantom of their sect's temple or the war totem of their tribe.

That was not the true form, but rather the most direct and powerful platform for the will of the true god.

The arrival of dozens of true gods is self-evident.

Yes, they came to demand an explanation.

Even if they know this is unreasonable, in the spirit world, might makes right!

[So what if the Red Heart Society has a large number of demigods with authority?]

That's a demigod with authority!

[Not an authoritative god!]

[Anyone with a truly sincere heart would have hundreds of powerful gods at their side, and they would immediately bow down in worship without the slightest hesitation.]

But if it's just a mere demigod, then the situation is different.

[Demigods are not qualified to participate in the battles of true gods.]

[As long as the number of true gods in the Red Heart Society isn't too large, then the various resources they control are their original sin!]

【The Red Heart Society!】

The Thorn Saint's voice, like an icy river scraping against metal, possessed a penetrating power imbued with divine blessing, resonating above the Red Heart Assembly in the Spirit Realm.

You have used treacherous schemes to lure the allied forces into a deadly trap!

[Under the guise of strategic gains from the battle against Hell, they are luring our alliance into Hell, their true intention being to annihilate the elite forces of the Spirit Realm!]

【You lot!】

Their intentions are despicable!

If no explanation is given today, my lord commands that the Red Heart Society be crushed!

Beside him, the Starbound Ironclad Gorton slammed his massive hammer into the void, the shockwave causing the alloy at the base of the fortress to hum, and his roar was like thunder.

[Hand over the coordinates of the hell nodes!]

[Detailed Analysis of Defensive Weaknesses!]

[Especially the key secrets to your Red Heart Society's frequent victories!]

Otherwise, crushing a loyal heart is entirely within the whim of our Lord!

Other sects and groups in the surrounding area also began clamoring to coerce and entice the Red Heart Society.

Wang Meng stared coldly at the clamor of the group outside, his heart surging with murderous intent.

However, after he came out, all the negative emotions on his face disappeared, leaving only a gentle expression, like that of God loving the world.

Upon seeing Wang Meng, the envoys quickly fell silent.

After all, according to the speculations of various sects, Wang Meng, the man before them, is most likely the human incarnation of a true god.

Being arrogant and domineering in front of the Red Heart Society is completely different from being unrestrained in front of a certain true god's incarnation!

Every living being should offer reverence before the true God!

Wang Meng's gaze swept across the surroundings, instantly calming everyone around him.

Forced stability is still stability!

What happened next had nothing to do with Wang Meng.

[After all, Wang Meng can't show himself too often before becoming a god; what if he gets exposed?]

When the Red Heart Society revealed the effects of the Soul-Fixing Mark, indicating that the True God of the Spirit Realm could use his authority as a bargaining chip, all the various sects and clans fell silent.

This Soul-Stabilizing Mark is indeed very powerful on the battlefield against Hell!

On the other hand, the Red Heart Society has already mastered a method to reliably produce demigods with authority, so what use is this power of authority?

Indeed, the power of authority can transform a nine-stage celestial being into a demigod of authority.

But does such demigod-like power have a future?

Most importantly, demigods born through the power of the true god have no control over their own life and death.

Even if the other party's heart is with the True Heart Society, they cannot disobey any command of the authoritative true god.

The gods didn't believe that the Red Heart Society was unaware of these things, yet the Red Heart Society still did it.

Suddenly, a bizarre idea surged into the minds of the gods.

Could it be that the Red Heart Society has discovered a way to break the power of authority?

【impossible? 】

Regardless of their suspicions, the various sects of the gods, considering the ability of the true god behind the Red Heart Society to conceal their information, chose to conduct the transaction honestly.

Anyway, this thing isn't particularly valuable to a true god.

Why resort to violence when you can obtain what you want through normal transactions?

[Aside from those two idiots, Abyss and Hell, no one in this world wants a war of gods to break out!]

Even the Abyss Demons and Hell-based True Gods are no exception!

And so, the transaction took place in a complex and delicate atmosphere.

[The various sects of the spirit realm produced power crystals that contained pure aura of authority, enough to give birth to several demigods.]

The Red Heart Society handed over a secret box inscribed with the original model runes of the Soul-Fixing Mark; of course, this was the initial version for the Hell Invasion phase.

If the other party discovers something and wants the new version of the Soul-Fixing Mark, then they'll have to exchange it for more items.

Although the power of authority may seem capable of only creating demigod puppets, the Crimson Heart Society's purpose in possessing these authority crystals is not to create demigods. [In the state of sacrificing the power of authority and invoking the power of rules in the void to ascend to true godhood, even the mighty Will of the Abyss cannot forcibly interrupt this ritual.]

Therefore, the Red Heart Society is determined to seize the power and authority of the gods in the spirit world!

Or rather, the sacrifice is set in stone!

Even the gods themselves couldn't stop them!

[And this deal, having received the gods' approval, proceeded without a single wasted word or glance; only a cold, hard transaction.]

The messengers, as if completing a mission, obtained what they desired, then swiftly tore through space and vanished without a trace.

Above the Spirit Realm's Red Heart Assembly, the unique, powerful, protective hum of the Order Hub was restored.

In August of the 171st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after obtaining the Soul-Fixing Mark and making various preparations, the various forces of the Spirit Realm launched their second offensive against Hell.

This situation, while bringing joy, also left the will of Hell feeling somewhat helpless.

[If Chixin treats Him like an easy target, then so be it.]

[After all, the Red Heart Society is quite sinister; they have countless methods and skills to prevent soul intrusion and thought manipulation, making them virtually impossible to defend against.]

Even a moment's inattention can allow the will of hell to turn the tables on you.

Even if the Will of Hell conceives of numerous espionage and intrigue schemes in the blink of an eye, the Red Heart Society can always counter Hell's ideas from a higher perspective.

There's nothing we can do; the Chixin Society has experienced this many times in previous timelines.

[However, the Will of Hell, having suffered a setback with the Red Heart Society, is invincible when it comes to dealing with the Spirit Realm Alliance.]

Compared to the Red Heart Society's eight hundred ingenious defenses, the Spirit Realm Allied Army's large-scale defensive measure against Hell—the Soul-Fixing Mark—seems far more rudimentary.

Although things didn't go as smoothly as they started in Hell, the victory of the Spirit Realm Allied Forces was still a Pyrrhic one.

Although the Spirit Realm Alliance ultimately received two blessings from the Spirit Realm's will, resulting in the advancement of two demigods, the ratio of their investment to their gains was far too great.

[At this rate, before even a few powerful demigods can be born, the major powers will likely face extinction!]

However, the war effort on the Red Heart Society's side is progressing smoothly as always.

[The various forces in the spirit world are watching the Red Heart Society's army make progress; in such a short time, they've almost reached the hundredth floor!]

They're still playing house on the outermost edge!

Even using projection deduction capabilities for remote observation, it would be observed that the Hell faction, upon encountering the Red Heart Society, behaved like a father beating his son.

[Hell offers absolutely no resistance!]

[Or rather, it could be said that any reaction from the Hell faction was within the Red Heart Society's expectations.]

Watching the Red Heart Society wage a hellish war is like watching a documentary about torturing humans and machines.

But once they personally take to the field, the Hell faction, seemingly resembling bots, unleashes an almost superhuman power in their presence.

Why is the Red Heart Society so powerful?

[Could it be that besides the Soul-Fixing Mark, the Crimson Heart Sect possesses other abilities?]

Who are the powerful figures behind the Red Heart Society?

Otherwise, the various abilities and all-encompassing pressure that the Red Heart Society has currently unleashed are simply too terrifying, aren't they?

In September of the 175th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, a future warrior from the Red Heart Society felt that none of the 98 rules contained within the Ultimate Realm were suitable for him. Therefore, with the help of the Red Heart Society's insights in the Spirit Realm, he began to comprehend other aspects of the rules.

With such favorable external support, he quickly found a set of rules that suited him.

[The rules are deadly!]

From this day forward, death will be like the wind, always by my side!

[Those who have experienced life-or-death situations will undergo a qualitative leap in their understanding of the rules of death.]

Of course, it will most likely die completely someday in the future.

However, under these circumstances, the rule of death manifested as the 99th star in the Extreme Path Realm, illuminating the sky.

[With the twinkling of the 99th star, you can clearly sense a profound transformation beginning to occur within the Extreme Realm.]

The ninety-nine rules, when applied, transform into invisible threads of rules, sublimating the ultimate realm to a deeper level.

[You have a feeling, deep down.]

If this profound transformation within the Ultimate Realm is completed, you might be able to step into the realm of an Ultimate Demigod!

You can't help but feel a sense of longing.

[With your ultimate domain, you easily defeated a ninth-level rank cultivator at the eighth level, and crushed a demigod at the ninth level.]

[After becoming a demigod, will you possess the power to rival a true god?]

【can you? 】

【May I? 】

[This is something you're really looking forward to!]

[In June of the 180th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Aglios accumulated sufficient power and authority in the Endless Abyss. Therefore, through the connection of the inner thought imprint, He sent you a clear signal using a pre-arranged code.]

[The Red Heart Society's God-Making Plan!]

He's all ready!

[It can be activated at any time!]

You took the coded message from Aglios very seriously.

After sensing something, Wang Meng frowned slightly.

There's definitely no problem on his end.

After all, in his previous timeline, he rose through the ranks to become a God of War through his own hard work.

[The progress in the spirit realm relies on the power of the entire Red Heart Society.]

Therefore, he had already completed his accumulation; everything was just waiting for others to complete theirs.

However, currently, the Red Heart Society only has a little over one hundred demigods holding authority.

Is it really time to start now?

Are you sure you don't want to wait any longer?
