Chapter 432 The Enraged Spirit Realm
The cold, divine will of the gods, like a precisely operating stellar furnace, instantly analyzed and deduced the dramatic changes on the battlefield.

[The Red Heart Society brazenly invaded the world of Heavenly Faith, adopting a do-or-die stance, and putting on a crazy show of risking their lives at the slightest provocation.]

All these seemingly irreconcilable actions were stripped of their true nature by the cold calculations interwoven with divine will.

This is nothing but a meticulously crafted, enormous deception!

[An incredibly successful catalyst!]

The true mastermind behind everything is the colossal will of those two chaotic factions.

[Abyss and Hell!]

They used the Red Heart Society's deep-seated hatred for Heaven as the perfect cover, and exploited the Red Heart Society's true god's fearless and suicidal madness to completely disrupt the judgment of the gods.

[At the same time, it cleverly deceived the vast but somewhat sluggish detection network of the spirit realm's will, and even blinded all the onlookers.]

All the bloody schemes, all the tragic sacrifices, all the smoke and fire that filled the battlefield, ultimately pointed to the same deadly objective.

[The core forces of the Heavenly Pantheon, comprising more than two-thirds of its main forces, along with several core monarchs such as the Lord of Radiance and the Lord of Judgment, were lured into this destructive trap constructed by chaos and the Crimson Origin, like a ensnaring of a giant beast.]

At this moment, these pillars of heaven, like moths caught in a sticky spiderweb, are being strangled by the raging, chaotic dark torrent of the will of the abyss and the cold, cunning crimson chains of the will of hell.

The overwhelming primal power of cataclysm crushed the divine realm's defenses, which were constructed from the holy light of Heaven, causing them to groan and crumble under the strain.

The gods of heaven are in imminent danger!

On the other side, the vast and boundless power of the spirit realm's will was instantly and completely enraged. The immense power of its rules and order transformed into a blazing spear of judgment piercing through the void, its target the destructive barrier that sealed off Heaven.

As one of the important pillars of the Spirit Realm's order, the Heavenly Pantheon will not allow its main force to be torn apart and devoured by its nemesis, the Abyss and Hell, before its very eyes.

However, this seemingly thunderous rescue had already fallen into the meticulous calculations of the two chaotic rulers.

The Abyss Will and the Hell Will, these two old adversaries entangled for countless eras and with an appallingly rich experience in intrigue and scheming, are well aware of the reaction mechanisms and subtle delays in the mobilization of power by the Spirit Realm Will when it is not at its peak.

They had already laid out layers upon layers of writhing, twisted crimson and dark authorities around the trap, designed specifically to interfere with and slow down the impact of the spirit world's origin.

When the order spear of the spirit realm's will tore through the void and descended, it was not met with a fragile barrier, but rather with a chaotic swamp, like countless layers of spatial folds, constantly slowing it down and draining its immense power.

The furious roar of the spirit realm's will reverberated through the void, yet it was like a punch aimed at an invisible abyss, unable to break through this carefully prepared barrier of chaos in a short time.

After all, stopping a spirit realm will that is slow to react and is being specifically targeted is not a difficult task for the Abyss and Hell!

In September of the 365th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, just as the immense power of the Spirit Realm's will clashed violently with the barrier of the Abyss Hell, and the dissipated energy storm pulverized nearby stars, a sudden change occurred.

[A phantom phoenix, enveloped in violent lightning: The God of Thunder Phoenix, under the focused gaze of countless astonished divine thoughts, brazenly activated the deepest spiritual authority mark within his own being.]

[He chose, at this very moment and in this very place, to strip away his authority, turning it into burning fuel, intending to break free from the shackles of the spiritual realm and enter the temple of the true god of rules, which all gods of authority yearn for.]

The absolute freedom of the True God of Rules, unaffected by the will of the Great World, was like the most tempting poison, secretly stirring ripples of longing within the cold divine cores of all the True Gods of Authority who were witnessing this event.

Even more chilling was the crimson aura surrounding the Thunder Phoenix God, a scent unique to hell—a sweet, metallic fragrance—like a striking brand, signifying that He had made some unseen deal with the cunning will of hell.

At the most critical moment, this deity from the spirit world betrayed His creator in the most resolute manner, disrupting the spirit world's will's rhythm and plans for saving Heaven with His own rebellion.

The sinister laughter of the Will of Hell seemed to echo silently in the void; the price He paid was clearly worth this fatal blow!

[You coldly observe as the God of Thunder Phoenix once again embarks on the path of sacrificial authority transformation, pioneered by Aglios in the previous timeline and rigorously guarded by the will of the spirit realm, your gaze sharp as a knife.]

[Thus, it seems that among the many true gods of authority in the spirit realm, the Thunder Phoenix God's desire for freedom and the rules is so intense that it is enough to make him risk everything and even negotiate with a tiger for its skin.]

[Boom! B ...

A crimson, world-destroying divine lightning bolt, born from the utter betrayal of the spirit realm's will and imbued with extreme rage, instantly tore through space and struck down upon the Thunder Phoenix God, who was being stripped of her authority.

Its overwhelming power and the pure destructive will it contained were enough to instantly vaporize an ordinary true god.

But at this critical moment, a viscous, filthy, crimson primordial power, seemingly condensed from the wails of billions of vengeful spirits, suddenly appeared, like the most resilient swamp of filthy blood, precisely blocking the path of the divine lightning.

[The Will of Hell has made its move!]

[Sizzle—!]

A piercing sound of energy annihilation echoed through the void as crimson divine lightning and scarlet primal energy clashed fiercely.

Although it couldn't completely block its power, it bought the Thunder Phoenix God that crucial moment to decide its fate.

Just as the torrent of divine lightning energy, weakened by the will of hell, was about to engulf the phoenix phantom, the Thunder Phoenix God completed its final transformation.

The stripped authority transformed into the purest nourishment of rules, nurturing His newly born, even more vast and powerful divine essence of thunder. The entire process was faster than the limits of divine perception!

The process of a demigod sacrificing their authority in exchange for resources of the rules is long and perilous, but the speed at which the true god of authority detaches their own power for transformation is so swift that even the invisible power of the supreme rules that protects those who ascend to godhood cannot condense and take shape in time.

Perhaps the God of Thunder's speed is related to a deal with the Will of Hell.

However, this also proves the extreme speed of the transformation of a true god of authority; once the transformation begins, one can succeed by withstanding a round of annihilating attacks.

When the gods of the spirit realm witnessed the Thunder Phoenix God successfully transform under the very noses of the spirit realm's will, and the even more violent and incomparable aura of thunderous rules emanated from it, the depths of their divine eyes flickered intensely.

The flames of greed secretly burn beneath the core of absolute rationality and divinity.

The next moment, the Thunder Phoenix God's roar, imbued with newfound power and ecstatic joy, exploded like thunder, resounding in the senses of every observer.

[By shedding the shackles of authority, and with the resources of the rules returning to me, my divine power has actually reached a new level!]

Before the words were even finished, He transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the void, vanishing instantly into the depths of the battlefield, leaving behind only that world-shaking declaration and endless space for imagination.

This conclusion ignited the ultimate greed within the gods for power advancement!

For many powerful gods, the allure of absolute freedom may be elusive, but the tangible, readily available temptation of an immediate leap in divine power upon shedding all constraints is enough to sway even the most composed divine will!

[Buzz——!!!]

Just as the gods were becoming agitated, a vast power, colder and more unquestionable than before, imbued with a will to utterly rage and absolute control, suddenly descended.

How could the restlessness, desires, and greed of the spirit gods, so difficult to conceal, possibly escape the perception of their creator?

The will of the spirit world is utterly enraged!

[The true God of authority strips himself of his authority to cultivate the path of rules; in essence, this means stealing the world's original authority from Him and transforming it into resources to nourish His own path of rules.]

This is a plunder of the world's foundation, an absolutely intolerable betrayal!

Therefore, the moment the Thunder Phoenix God successfully underwent the transformation, the will of the Spirit Realm had already made a ruthless decision.

[Boom boom boom————]

The spiritual imprint, formed from pure order and rules of punishment, vibrated and manifested in the sky, its chilling aura freezing time and space.

At the same moment, all true gods who had attained divine positions through the authority of the spirit realm, regardless of their location or what they were doing, were horrified to discover that a spirit realm mark emanating a cold, destructive aura had been branded onto their brows.

This mark, like the strongest chain, is deeply linked to the core of the spirit world's will.

From this moment forward, if any true god of the spirit realm dares to make any further move to strip away their authority, this mark will instantly unleash the immense power of the spirit realm's origin, ruthlessly stripping them of all divine authority and annihilating their soul and spirit.

Not far away, the crimson chaotic light of the Abyss's Will noticed all this and let out a silent, mocking laugh.

[Hasn't the will of the spirit world ultimately followed the path of me controlling the demon gods under my command?]

Weren't you mocking me during the war?

[They believe my methods of control are detrimental to the growth of the gods under my command!]

【What now? 】

[Despite the fact that the spirit realm is most afraid of attacks from the divine path of rules, they still pretend to be indifferent.]

[Idiot!]

Would the gods willingly stagnate if they relinquished control over them?

[If the Will of Hell doesn't care about the Will of the Abyss, then at this moment, all it cares about is the struggle of the gods of Heaven within its confined area.]

The withdrawal of the spirit realm's will has exacerbated the already precarious situation for the gods of Heaven.

Therefore, the will of Hell is preparing to take this opportunity to annihilate these gods of Heaven!

[Devouring everything from them!]

[In this way, after destroying a major enemy of Hell, Hell's power will also expand once again.]

Therefore, He had no time for empty talk; His mind was entirely focused on maximizing His side's gains in the ensuing struggle.
