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

Chapter 418 I have rendered meritorious service to the Red Heart Society, and I have shed blood for the Red Heart Society!

The remnant phantom of the Star Demon God, constructed from pure star trail runes, now hovers before you in an almost fanatical manner.

Its illusory form trembled violently, and its eyes, composed of billions of starlight points, burned with a fervor that transcended reason.

That posture!

[That expression!]

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xia's soul imprinted with the memories of the Star Demon God's final choice in the previous timeline, he would almost believe that this abyssal behemoth who once ruled the boundless starry sea had completed the ultimate nirvana of his soul in the crucible of his unwavering ideals, transforming into a martyr willing to burn the last ray of starlight for the sake of the unwavering order.

To be honest, this kind of statement sounds so fake.

Who would believe that?

[A top demon god from the endless abyss pledges allegiance to the Crimson Heart Society?]

Are you kidding me?

The equality pursued by the Pure Heart ideal, if it were to truly erupt into conflict in the future, would inevitably lead to opposition to the true God who stands at the top of the world.

One side commands the world's reverence and worship, while the other pursues equality and freedom.

Isn't this an absolute conflict?

[Buzz——!!!]

Just then, a glimmer of starlight appeared in your perception.

【Star Demon God!】

I offer you my loyalty!

The next moment, a starlight mark, so pure it seemed to have been formed from the very first ray of starlight at the dawn of the universe, suddenly ignited within the core of the Star Demon God's remnant soul without warning.

The mark emanated an absolute and pure energy fluctuation, much like most members of the Red Heart Society—it was the aura of a thought imprint.

The moment the branding was completed, the mark pulsated violently, like a star core thrown into a soul furnace.

Every pulse radiates an unquestionable signal of loyalty!

[It was as if proclaiming to the entire universe that His Star Demon God's soul and will were nothing but a blade of pure heart!]

[Never regret it!]

This sudden declaration of loyalty caused Lin Xia's eyes, which reflected the vast galaxy of time, to narrow abruptly.

【absurd!】

This is absolutely absurd!!!

What kind of being is the Star Demon God?

Its core will is forged from the stellar logic of absolute zero and the scheming of power accumulated over billions of years. Whether at the height of its power or now as a fallen, remnant soul, its essence has remained unchanged.

Absolute rationality!

A perfect trade-off!

Absolutely self-centered!

Would such a being truly offer unwavering loyalty from the bottom of their soul to the leader of an organization that has only risen to power in the last few hundred years?

The probability of this is even slimmer than the universe collapsing in the next second!

Unless this so-called loyalty is itself a meticulously planned performance.

[A final, tragic drama, staged by the core of a remnant soul, using the imprint of thought as props, and written, directed, and starring the Star Demon God himself.]

[Moreover, the Star Demon God's self-hypnotic ability is so strong that, if He wanted to, He could even directly manipulate His own inner thoughts and instincts.]

[This is difficult for other living beings, but is it really that difficult for a top-tier demon god like the Star Demon God, who has existed for billions of years?]

[The "ideological stamp," in essence, is nothing more than a means of verifying the loyalty of ordinary beings.]

At the demigod level, even a period of time can break the thought imprint, let alone a true god?

If a true god wanted to manipulate thought imprints, it would be far too easy for them!

[At this thought, your eyes flickered.]

[Your knowledge of the Star Demon God may be short, but through the superposition of multiple timelines, your understanding of Him is profound.]

Now, the opponent has lost all his starlight authority, and his remnant soul is as fragile as a candle flame in the wind.

On the path to becoming a true god of rules, the Red Heart Society, possessing the combat power of four or even five true gods, became its only possible lifeline.

After all, His current dependence on the Red Heart Society far outweighs the Red Heart Society's need for Him.

[The Red Heart Society is His only hope for rekindling the divine fire!]

At this moment, his act of loyalty is nothing more than a desperate, honeyed cry for help, thrown out in an extremely dire situation.

The subtext is as naked as the star trails themselves: Look, I have willingly donned the heaviest shackles of loyalty!

[The seal of thought bears witness!]

I am no different from your most core followers!

Limited resources? The risks of cultivating new gods are too great?

【I!】

【Star Demon God!】

[Once ascended to the pinnacle of power!]

[His understanding of the rules far surpasses that of those clueless Nine-Turns or even demigods!]

Experience! Efficiency! Success rate! Who else but us?

Moreover, I shed blood for the Red Heart Society, shielded myself from blades, sent my avatar to hell, and even participated in that earth-shattering self-destruction that shook the will of the abyss!

[Outstanding Achievements!]

[Hard work indeed!] [With such talent, doesn't he deserve a training opportunity?]

[According to the Red Heart Society's consistent principles, shouldn't I be able to become a core member?]

This logic, this calculation, is like invisible threads of gravity, weaving a seemingly perfect narrative.

However, what He encountered was your calm and analytical perspective, traversing multiple time periods and witnessing countless lives, deaths, and tragedies.

That kind of thinking won't get past you.

[Not only you, but even the Star Demon God couldn't get past Wang Meng and Agrus.]

The Red Heart Society's divine resources may seem plentiful now, but with future development, they will inevitably become scarce.

Divine resources are more precious than liquid star gold flowing through the cosmos!

[In particular, divine resources, refined and transferred by the true gods of rules, can even be presented before the demigods of rules, guiding them on their future divine path.]

It can be said that every drop carries the weight of the future.

[Furthermore, with the Heart Demon God as a precedent, and the one who integrated into the Crimson Heart system even earlier than the Star Demon God's self-destruction, whose mental authority has proven its irreplaceable value in protecting the souls of Crimson Heart warriors in countless battles.]

Most importantly, after becoming a god in the previous timeline, the Heart Demon God stayed behind, intending to continue protecting the Red Heart Society.

Although there were vested interests involved in all of this, even knowing about them, didn't the Star Demon God still leave without hesitation?

Since even the Star Demon God doesn't care, why should the Crimson Heart Society care?

Therefore, the Star Demon Gods of this time and space, despite their myriad reasons and immense achievements, can only wait in line on the ultimate scales that determine the future order of the gods with pure hearts.

Regardless, unwavering loyalty will always have its own ironclad rules.

[At the Star Demon God's request, your silence was as cold as the deep freeze of the universe. Wang Meng and Agrus's golden divine eyes calmly swept over the Star Demon God's violently fluctuating remnant soul phantom, the will contained within it crystal clear.]

Resource allocation is governed by established rules!

[The Star Demon God sensed this silent yet weightier judgment than the starry sea. Beneath the radiant loyalty forcibly emanating from the steel imprint of thought, you clearly perceived an emotion called anxiety deep within the core of the remnant soul.]

Of course, you didn't say you wouldn't cultivate Star Demons.

[It's just that everything has its order of arrival; the training plan for the Star Demon God has been finalized and is being prepared for implementation.]

In short, all talk and no action!

The Star Demon God was extremely anxious as he observed the Crimson Heart Society's differential treatment.

[To his old friend, the Demon God opened his mouth, but said nothing.]

【say what? 】

[Should the Red Heart Society put aside their own concerns and focus on the Star Demon God?]

[This concerns God's path; He isn't as noble as He seems!]

[Being able to pull the Star Demon God out of the way at a crucial moment is already a huge favor to you, buddy.]

[In January of the 268th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Star Demon God approached you again. After expressing his determination and loyalty, he abruptly changed the subject.]

He is saying that the present is the present, and the future is the future!

The past determines the present, and the present determines the future!

A future event will inevitably be affected by changes that are happening in the present.

[In an instant, the Star Demon God began to explain to you His understanding of spacetime theory and the paradox of loss of control.]

[You understand what the other person means. In short, it boils down to this: what He did in the previous timeline has nothing to do with this timeline.]

[He may have done things that harmed the Red Heart Society in the previous timeline, but he certainly won't in this timeline!]

You don't believe a single word of this nonsense.

Is the Star Demon God intelligent?

As a true god who wields the power over the stars and can scheme against the gods of the spirit realm to the point of near death, how could he not be intelligent?

Therefore, from the moment He saw the future warrior, He knew what the true essence of the Red Heart Society was.

[Furthermore, considering the starkly different attitudes Chixin shows towards Him and the Demon God, a little thought reveals the real reason.]

However, such explanations ultimately cannot shake your resolve.

However, the Red Heart Society wasn't entirely without reward; it's just that compared to the absolute favoritism shown by the Heart Demon God, the Star Demon God's side was more official and impartial.

Everything should be done according to the rules.

[Didn't you want to become a god using the rules of the stars?]

【Simple!】

Let's go to the Red Heart Research Institute!

[Here, a large number of Star Demigods conduct research and discussions. Even Star Demon Gods will find something of value here.]

[And after merging with it, the Star Demon God's understanding of the rules of the stars also improved rapidly.]

Ultimately, he was, after all, a top-tier demon god who had existed since ancient times.

[Given a guiding principle of divine path, the Star Demon God can quickly find its way and advance rapidly.]

In March of the 272nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society's military technology underwent a significant leap forward.

[Among them, the most powerful demigod military technology has achieved a major breakthrough, and the problem of divine power allocation that has plagued the field of military research has been solved.]

The solution to this top-tier energy source, divine power, has enabled a qualitative leap in the explosive and offensive capabilities of demigod-level military weapons.

It can be said that the demigod weapons currently being produced already possess the power to destroy the avatars of true gods.

However, this is just the beginning. As divine power gradually integrates, the power of the demigod's military weapons will eventually rise to a level that can threaten true gods!

This day, I believe, is not too far away!
