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

Chapter 425 Divine Power Military Equipment Officially Goes into Production
[Those two coveted spots for Hell-level True Gods, chosen by you, ultimately fell on the shoulders of Deng Qi and Xiahou Chuan.]

Choosing them wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a reflection of your inner judgment, a testament to the four comrades who initially followed you through thick and thin.

As time flows by, the Chixin Society has grown into a towering tree, its branches and leaves flourishing.

[Wang Meng, the tank who died multiple times in previous simulations protecting you, has already forged his immortal reputation as a God of War in the sea of ​​rules through his iron will and indomitable spirit.]

Currently, outside the Crimson Heart World, his divine power surges, his fighting spirit soars, and he engages in the highest-level battle against the gods.

Lin Xue, on the other hand, was like a deep, still river. Countless internal affairs of the Chixin Society did not break her; in fact, the baptism of her trans-dimensional arrival fully unleashed the potential within her soul.

The brilliance of her innate talent, hidden deep within her soul, grew ever more radiant. Her understanding of the profound and unfathomable rules of the soul deepened with each passing moment, and every gesture she made carried ripples of spiritual energy.

[It seems that becoming a rule-based deity in the future is a natural progression, awaiting only a catalyst for its transformation.]

In contrast, Deng Qi and Xiahou Chuan appeared somewhat dim amidst the glittering ranks of the Red Heart Society's high-ranking members.

Their natural talent for understanding seemed to be limited by an invisible barrier.

Despite the influx of resources from the Red Heart Society and the rapid advancement of their comrades, their cultivation remained stagnant, as if mired in quagmire, unable to keep pace with the massive force that was charging towards higher dimensions at an astonishing speed.

Although Deng Qi is also a time traveler, he is clearly far less perceptive than Lin Xue.

They watched as their former comrades stood atop the mountain, overlooking the world, while they themselves struggled to climb halfway up. That resentment and anxiety were buried deep in their hearts, manifesting as the clenched teeth and beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads during each training session.

This gap became an unspeakable burden on their hearts.

As their leader and the pillar of their loyalty, you naturally have a sense of their general thoughts.

Therefore, when those two spots, symbolizing the authority and divine status of the true gods, from the will of hell, were placed before you, you knew that this might be a redemption for Deng Qi and Xiahou Chuan, an opportunity to break free from their shackles.

Becoming a true god of authority means they will gain power far exceeding what they could achieve through arduous self-cultivation, ascending to heaven in one leap.

However, this power comes at a price.

[The authority rests with the will of Hell, and its path is entirely different from, and may even be diametrically opposed to, that of the true god who pursues its own rules and controls its own power.]

Once they accept it, they are as if bound by invisible shackles; their power originates from hell, and their loyalty may be distorted.

However, in the previous timeline, after Deng Qi became a true god of the hellish realm, the burning passion for the Crimson Heart Society deep within his eyes miraculously did not extinguish; instead, it burned even more intensely against the dark backdrop of hell.

This makes you realize that as long as the will residing deep within hell doesn't actively engage in conspiracies and schemes, these two hellish true gods who have gained power might still become unexpected aids to the Red Heart Society's development at some point in the future.

But as the founder of the Red Heart Society, you are responsible for the entire society, and even more so for all those who follow you.

Trust cannot replace risk.

Before sending them to hell, you summon Deng Qi and Xiahou Chuan to your presence for a conversation about their impending godhood.

Inside the sealed chamber, a swirling aura of energy illuminated the solemn faces of the three individuals.

[You look them straight in the eye, your gaze piercing, revealing without any concealment the cruel flaws of the true god of hell.]

I think you understand.

Once you accept the authority of the will of hell, you will no longer be a member of the absolute leadership core of the Red Heart Society.

The core secrets of the Red Heart Society, its strategic plans concerning survival, will no longer be open to you.

[Because your knowledge is the same as the knowledge of the will of hell.]

Perhaps at this stage, the Will of Hell doesn't care about the Red Heart Society's strategic deployments, but what about the future?

No one knows how high the Red Hearts Society will ultimately stand!

[You paused, emphasizing your words.]

Most importantly, the Red Heart Society and the Will of Hell are currently bound together by a thin, fragile thread of trust, so delicate it cannot withstand the slightest disturbance, due to certain collaborations.

This honeymoon period could end at any moment.

If that day truly comes, and the mighty power of Hell's will descends, your divinity and your will may be forcibly twisted, compelling you to direct your power towards the Loyal Heart Society you once swore to protect, and towards your former comrades-in-arms!

I hope you are aware of this.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, leaving only the faint hum of flowing energy in the sealed room.

The shock, anger, or wavering you expected did not materialize. Deng Qi and Xiahou Chuan listened quietly, their eyes filled with determination.

Having followed you through countless trials of blood and fire, and countless conspiracies, they have long since shed their youthful naiveté and recklessness, and have been tempered into true warriors.

These consequences, the potential betrayals and pain, had already been weighed and considered countless times throughout countless sleepless nights the moment they received the spots.

A subtle, indescribable sadness, like a faint electric current, swept across my eyes. Being doubted and guarded against by my brothers-in-arms, with whom I've fought side-by-side through life and death, felt like being cut by a dull knife.

However, this trace of sadness was fleeting, swallowed up by a more powerful and intense emotion.

Xiahou Chuan took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and spoke first.

Teacher, the Red Heart Society's great undertaking is a lighthouse illuminating the entire dark sea of ​​stars!

For my pure ideals, I am ready to give my life at any time, even if it means being shattered to pieces!

What do mere suspicion, misunderstanding, and estrangement amount to?

[Beside him, Deng Qi spoke up immediately.]

From the moment we agreed to this divine position, we were already prepared for the worst.

Whether we are banished from the core or may be powerless to change our future, as long as our sincerity will prevail, and as long as we can witness the future you envision, we will have no regrets!

[In October of the 315th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, on a gloomy evening, the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand.]

The next moment, a torrent of pure hellish energy descended from the depths of the endless void, precisely enveloping Deng Qi and Xiahou Chuan.

This is the power of Hell's will fulfilling its contract—cold, powerful, and irresistible.

The two took one last, deep look at the imposing silhouette of the Red Heart Society headquarters, and then at the distant, faintly visible figures of their comrades sweating profusely on the training ground.

There was no farewell, no sentimentality, just a silent nod, and the figure became blurred and transparent in the torrent, finally disappearing completely, led to the unknown depths of hell.

Their departure was like two pebbles thrown into a vast ocean; in the immense sea of ​​the Red Heart Society, they didn't even create a ripple.

Under your leadership, the Red Heart Society of today is vastly different from what it once was.

It is a sophisticated and efficient war machine, and also a vast and vibrant civilization brimming with creativity.

With strong men and powerful horses, a hundred boats race forward!

Geniuses from all fields are emerging like mushrooms after rain, making great strides in cutting-edge fields such as starship engineering, rule analysis, soul technology, and the application of divine power.

An efficient system acts like an invisible neural network, tightly connecting every individual and ensuring that every component of this behemoth operates smoothly.

[Any vacancy, whether at the grassroots level or in a former senior management position, will be seamlessly filled by the right person in the first instance.]

Even if this person is a high-ranking member of the Red Heart Society.

In other words, the Red Heart Society doesn't need anyone right now.

[Apart from you, the spiritual symbol of the Red Heart Society, whom we cannot lose, there is no one we cannot lose!]

The entire organization is like a living organism with self-repair and evolutionary capabilities, incredibly resilient.

The departure of Deng Qi and Xiahou Chuan is merely a routine renewal process in the metabolism of this massive organism.

The Red Heart Society's war chariot continues along its established strategic path, crushing all obstacles with unstoppable momentum as it rumbles towards its ultimate goal!

[In January of the 318th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, at the Crimson Heart Research Institute, a place that gathers the organization's most outstanding wisdom and creativity, an unprecedented energy fluctuation exploded like a thunderclap.]

[Immediately following this, a wave of ecstatic joy, powerful enough to shake the stars, swept through the entire Red Heart Society headquarters.]

[The Divine Power Military Experiment Has Been a Success!]

[Third round of extreme testing passed!]

[Divine Military Weapon: The Spear of Judgment, meets the standards for actual combat deployment!]

[Divine Power Military Equipment, Officially Entering Production!]

The news spread like wildfire, instantly igniting the hearts of every member of the Red Heart Society.

The long-suppressed cheers, excited roars, and choked sobs of joy merged into a deafening roar that echoed repeatedly throughout the massive space station, lingering for a long time.

[Because everyone understands that the complete success of the Divine Power Military means that the Red Heart Society will completely break the divine power threat posed by the gods to the Red Heart Society!]

From this moment forward, the Red Heart Society will truly possess the ability to negotiate with the pantheon.

After all, once extraordinary technology develops and the snowball of divine power and weaponry accumulates, the Red Heart Society will have the advantage of defeating the many with the few and the strong with the weak.

The resounding success of Divine Power Military Equipment also brought tremendous shock and inspiration to multiple departments, including the Battle Formation Research Department, Enchantment Department, Equipment Department, and Skills Department.

[According to the assessment of the Eighth Generation of Red Flag, if these departments can keep up with the relevant progress of the military departments, the future world will surely belong to the Red Flag!]
