Chapter 428 Hellish Sleeping Abyss
Faced with the perfectly executed blank stare of the Lord of Judgment and the ostrich-like attitude of the entire Heavenly Pantheon, the Titan Lord Augustus, from his divine body constructed of a thunder furnace, unleashed a cold snort that shattered the void.

The next moment, this ancient being who wielded the authority of the Titan pantheon uttered no more words.

His colossal hand, crackling with arcs of destructive electricity, swung violently, instantly tearing apart the cosmic veil with unparalleled Titan power, coalescing into a thunderous hammer spanning the galaxy.

This giant hammer is not merely a simple aggregate of energy; its surface flows with spacetime images inscribed by pure rules, images that cannot be altered by any force.

[Every brutal detail of how the Red Heart Society forged the embodiment of the wills of the three monarchs—the Lord of Heavenly Radiance, the Lord of Holy Light, and the Lord of Judgment—into a sub-divine artifact is meticulously depicted.]

From the moment the divine power link was precisely torn apart, to the lava-scorched brand containing the core of battle destruction, and then to the pure dark attribute erosion that devoured holy light, it was eternally imprinted on the hammer body like the most brutal documentary.

【Boom——】

An indescribable, terrifying roar instantly swept across billions of light-years, blinding lightning clashing violently with holy light, annihilating the last shred of pretense that Heaven was trying to conceal.

Space cracked like a shattered mirror, and the escaping turbulent energy instantly reduced several nearby dependent worlds to dust.

The Titan Lord's furnace-like roar, like the most biting mockery, pierced through the aftershocks of the explosion, resounding in the perception of every divine being watching this place.

Keep pretending!

How long can you, who call yourselves the masters of order, maintain your arrogant facade in the face of irrefutable facts?

If you can tolerate such a humiliating disgrace, what face do you, the gods of Heaven, have to point fingers at the spirit world and all the realms, and presumptuously talk about order?

Does your so-called heavenly order only dare to target the weak races and churches in the spirit world?

[Faced with a slightly stronger being, even if they were to slaughter and melt down your monarchs into divine materials, would you merely cower in your sacred domain and pretend to be deaf and dumb?]

If that's the case, then you truly deserve the false heavenly order you've woven!

This blatant revelation and questioning, like the loudest slap in the face, struck the self-proclaimed supreme order monument of the Heavenly Pantheon. Its echo reverberated through the void, plunging all the gods who witnessed this scene into a brief, deathly silence.

The gazes of the gods instantly shifted from the afterglow of the explosion to the Heavenly Sanctuary. Their scrutinizing, amused, and even slightly gloating divine thoughts pierced the Lord of Light and other Heavenly monarchs like invisible blades.

This is clearly a blatant conspiracy!

Even if the Heavenly Pantheon was unwilling to engage in a full-scale conflict with the Red Heart Society, once the Titan Pantheon revealed the truth and its thunderous declaration resounded throughout the universe, Heaven was utterly pushed to the brink of collapse.

The true God, with his authority, may disregard the gossip and slander of mortals, but the power of the Heavenly Pantheon, a colossal entity composed of believers in the true God, is rooted precisely in the faith of its followers spread across countless worlds.

Public opinion and authority are their lifeblood!

If the faith of a world falters, they can afford the losses.

The loss of believers in ten worlds is something they can accept.

The foundations of faith in a hundred worlds have collapsed; even if they grit their teeth, they can be used as necessary consumables.

But what if there were thousands, or tens of thousands of worlds?

When millions of believers witness the desecration and melting down of the embodiment of their revered monarch, while Heaven remains inactive, the collapse originating from the very bottom of the chain of faith will trigger a chain reaction like dominoes.

At that time, the torrent of faith upon which the pantheon of gods depends will surely dry up, and those lofty, supreme gods will decline like rootless duckweed.

The entire pantheon will fall into a vicious cycle of collapsing faith, declining power, and even losing its prestige!

This is a price that the Heavenly Pantheon absolutely cannot afford!

At this moment, how the Titan Lord obtained such detailed information, or even how he acquired the Red Heart Society's most confidential details, is no longer important.

Although several Heavenly Lords wanted to inquire, compared to the risk of Heaven's prestige crumbling, the matter was no longer of concern.

Currently, there's only one thing displayed on the Heavenly Pantheon panel.

[Reclaim the dignity of heaven!]

In June of the 341st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, under the spotlight of the gods and with the lingering effects of the Titan pantheon's thunderous declaration, the Heavenly pantheon could no longer remain silent.

[The Lord of Radiance, the Lord of Holy Light, the Lord of Judgment, and eight other true gods who wield the core authority of Heaven, enveloped in a boundless holy light that dims even the stars, descended together above the world of Crimson Heart.]

[The moment the Heavenly Pantheon descended, the gods attacking the Red Heart Society all relinquished their positions.]

The next instant, the divine power condensed from pure order and light crashed down like a tangible tsunami onto the defensive barrier of the Crimson Heart World, constructed from the combined power of the four True Gods of Rules and Crimson Heart Technology.

Their divine will, like a spear of judgment, pierced through layers of spatial barriers, pointing directly to the core of the Red Heart Society.

【The Red Heart Society!】

Why do you commit such a rebellious act, openly blaspheming the embodiment of the Lord of Heaven?

Such actions are a trampling of the sacred monument of order and a desecration of the laws of light!

[Provide an explanation immediately!]

This grand, accusatory voice, imbued with unquestionable authority, appeared stern, but in reality, it merely demanded an explanation.

[As long as the Red Heart Society can provide Heaven with a reasonable explanation, this matter can be resolved in a safe way.] [After all, when the Heavenly pantheon truly wants to judge someone, it generally doesn't waste words!]

Before the words were even spoken, the great judgment arrived first!

[But just as the majestic questions uttered by the Heavenly Monarchs still echoed in the void, an indescribable tremor, seemingly originating from the very source of the soul, erupted without warning from the core dome of the Crimson Heart World.]

This radiant light from the mind was silent and unnoticed, yet it instantly permeated the entire star field.

[Immediately afterwards, this spiritual light suddenly subsided and sublimated.]

A majestic figure, constructed from pure mental rules, rose from the world of pure heart; its very existence seemed to become the tangible source of these mental rules.

[The Demon God of the Heart!]

This ancient giant, who once held the reins of power over the Abyss's mind, has, with the Red Heart Society's relentless investment of resources and rule-based support, successfully shed the Abyss's imprint and ascended to the position of Rule God.

The sudden and abrupt advancement of the Heart Demon God instantly ignited the entire arena.

The resulting resonance with the rules and the surge of emotions it triggered not only completely disrupted the carefully prepared rhythm of the Heavenly pantheon's accusations and subsequent action plans.

[This even attracted the attention of countless gods, some of whom even dispatched avatars to tear through space and descend.]

Compared to the massive divine war sparked by the clash of the wills of the three great worlds, the birth of a true god of rules—a top-tier abyssal demon god who successfully transformed and broke free from the shackles of the great worlds' wills—was the truly earth-shattering upheaval that shook the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall structure, and overall perception) and overturned the understanding of the gods.

This proves that a viable, albeit thorny, path leads to absolute freedom and higher power.

However, this shock brought not only longing, but also the most extreme fear and hostility.

Almost at the same instant the inner demon god's divine essence stabilized, two vastly different yet equally powerful celestial sounds, imbued with boundless rage and a will to destroy, resounded like thunderclaps at the dawn of the universe, deep within the souls of all the gods.

That was the raging roar of the abyss's will and the chilling boiling of the spirit realm's will. These two world wills, which should have been mortal enemies, actually reached an unprecedented, brief consensus under the stimulation of the Heart Demon God's successful transformation.

[Rules are the true god!]

[They are the mortal enemies of the will of our Great World!]

Anyone who comes into contact with them, regardless of their status, will be killed!

As soon as this sound fell, all the abyssal demons and divine manifestations of the spirit realm's authorities who sensed this place vanished without a trace.

However, the success of the Heart Demon God planted a seed in their hearts.

[Someone has succeeded!]

That's enough!

The seven monarchs of the Heavenly Pantheon watched as yet another True God of Rules emerged from the Crimson Heart Society, their lips twitching slightly.

Just as they were considering softening their tone and treating the matter as a normal conversation, Wang Meng strode forward and blurted out, "You son of a bitch!"

[The plan targeting the Heavenly Pantheon was developed after discussions between the Red Heart Society and the Will of Hell.]

[After Wang Meng and Deng Qi created a turbulent era in the previous timeline, the gods and kingdoms of the spirit realm were thrown into turmoil, and they descended to the mortal realm, transforming into saints and walking on the earth.]

Of all the different ethnic groups and pantheons, only those who believe in the true God remain unaffected.

Therefore, relying on the Heavenly Pantheon of the Spirit Realm, they rose to prominence, even becoming the most powerful divine group in the Spirit Realm.

The will of Hell seeks to disrupt the spirit realm in order to weaken the true gods' fighting power there at its source.

[It's definitely not about destroying the true god of the spirit realm and then transferring the fighting power to the heavenly pantheon.]

If given a choice, the Will of Hell would absolutely hate the Heavenly pantheon the most.

After all, the impact of the Heavenly pantheon on Hell was simply too devastating.

Therefore, the Will of Hell, in alliance with the Red Heart Society, aims to defeat the Heavenly Pantheon before completely disrupting the Spirit Realm.

To make this happen, the Will of Hell once again displayed its shamelessness, personally going to the Will of the Abyss.

You don't know what the Will of Hell and the Will of the Abyss said to each other, nor do you know what secret deals they made.

In short, the will of hell has perfectly accomplished its goal.

[However, when the Will of Hell returned, you noticed that the crimson aura emanating from it seemed to have intensified.]

This anomaly makes you wonder a little.

Does the wider world also have its own privacy-based trading system?

Has Hell slept with the Abyss?
