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

The moral blackmail from the Heavenly Lord is utterly meaningless in the eyes of the loyal gods.

They deserve to be killed!

[It deserves to be destroyed!]

[We will show no mercy!]

[Never hesitate!]

If someone were standing here today, reprimanding them with such compassionate words, it would be their great, wise, and idealistic founder, the founder of the Pure Heart Society.

[Then, needless to say, they will surely lower their proud heads in shame and deeply repent for their tyranny and delusion.]

Because the will of that leader is the anchor of their souls, the embodiment of their unwavering ideals.

But now!

The person who could restrain them, who could make them willingly listen to teachings, and who could soothe the violence in their hearts is gone!

【died! 】

[He has fallen!]

[Torn apart by those hypocritical scum of the Heavenly Pantheon using that damned forbidden artifact, the Red Heart Society headquarters, along with the divine artifact, was reduced to cosmic dust.]

Since the light of the leader has been extinguished, and since the foundation upon which the ideal was built has been destroyed.

Therefore, all right and wrong, moral principles, and even so-called sacred laws in this world have lost all meaning and binding force for them.

At this moment, the only driving force supporting their burning divine bodies and overdrawing their very essence, the only goal clearly etched into their souls, is the complete destruction of the Heavenly Pantheon.

[Let this hypocritical and damned pantheon, along with its lies of holy light built upon the faith of billions of beings, be cast into that ultimate, irredeemable grave.]

May it never be reincarnated!

[While the righteous gods were carrying out the world-destroying purge with the utmost cruelty, the Radiant Lord, the actual ruler of the Heavenly Pantheon, was filled with anguish.]

His divine senses swept over those faiths that clung to Heaven, bathed in holy light, but now had become a living hell.

He witnessed firsthand how his realm was mercilessly torn apart by a raging storm of divine power, how countless supplicants and believers turned to ashes in their desperate cries, and how the very foundations of his divine kingdom crumbled inch by inch amidst the wailing.

The feeling of watching helplessly as the culmination of countless eras of effort, the source of power, and the very meaning of one's existence was crushed and burned away bit by bit caused even the divine heart of the Lord of Radiance, constructed of pure holy light, to convulse violently.

[A single true god entering a world and wreaking havoc is already a disaster, but a group of true gods driven to absolute madness, determined to perish together, joining forces to carry out indiscriminate extermination, is a terror from a completely different dimension.]

It was a great purge powerful enough to shake the foundations of any pantheon and make the souls of any deity tremble.

And then there are those who worship gods!

Now that things have come to this, everyone's just standing by and watching; not a single person has come to offer assistance!

Yes!

If the gods of the Red Heart Society were to unleash such power without burning their very essence, it would surely cause the other gods of faith to feel a sense of impending doom.

But this group of loyal followers who were the true gods before them were a group of prisoners about to die.

After destroying the Heavenly Pantheon, these true gods of the Red Heart Society will be pretty much finished.

That's why the heavenly pantheon is willing to take the brunt of the lightning strikes, rather than sharing the burden.

In a daze, an absurd yet strangely logical thought suddenly intruded into the core of the Lord of Light's divine consciousness.

[Did the Red Heart Society harbor such deep-seated and irreconcilable hostility towards the Heavenly Pantheon from the very beginning because they had already glimpsed a corner of this tragic and hopeless future?]

[In the pantheon of gods, the Lord of Prophets can foresee the future and see a specific scene from it.]

There must be such figures within the Red Heart Society!

[Those true gods who attained godhood through the rules of the soul or the rules of the stars seem to possess this ability.]

[Is it because they foresaw that the Red Hearts were destined to perish at the hands of the Heavenly Pantheon that they spared no effort in suppressing and weakening the Heavenly Pantheon in an earlier timeline, attempting to reverse this predetermined fate?]

Conversely, if the Red Heart Society hadn't been so aggressive in targeting the Heavenly pantheon and hadn't deliberately weakened Heaven's power...

[That pantheon of gods might be able to maintain its peak, or even greater, state during the golden age of turmoil that followed the self-sealing of the spirit realm's will.]

In that case, the Heavenly Pantheon would have sufficient power and confidence to remain independent of the threats from the Abyss and Hell, and would not be drawn into the siege of the Red Heart Society by these two evil wills, thus avoiding this catastrophic disaster!

In other words, if Chi Xin doesn't struggle and isn't influenced by the vision of the future, then the mutual destruction between the two sides won't happen!

The root of all the tragedies lies in the chain reaction triggered by the Red Heart Society's precognitive hostility!

【understood! 】

【I see! 】

The divine consciousness of the Lord of Radiance trembled violently in despair, as if He had grasped a twisted straw in endless darkness.

At this moment, a sense of sorrow, as if he had been fooled by fate, overwhelmed him.

All of this!

This endless hatred and destruction!

[These are all the most vicious mockery of them, of the heavenly pantheon, by fate, which is invisible and intangible yet omnipresent!]

The Lord of Glory, feeling he had understood the cause and effect, looked around with sorrowful eyes at the Heavenly Lord and the Redhearted Gods who were fighting.

In His current understanding, neither His companions nor those fanatical, devoted followers of the true gods of rules were anymore supreme beings who held sway over the rules and looked down upon all living beings.

From the moment this war of gods began, all the true gods were reduced to pitiful pawns, manipulated and tossed about at will on a giant chessboard called fate.

[How pathetic that these powerful beings, believing themselves to control power, are actually being manipulated without their knowledge!] [Even more pathetic is that their Heavenly Pantheon, such a sacred and great pantheon of faith, has been forcibly dragged into this undeserved calamity by the invisible hand of fate, unilaterally chosen by the Red Heart Society as a pawn to be sacrificed in this game destined for destruction!]

This is simply the greatest injustice in the world!

Thinking of this, a surge of emotion, a mixture of excitement at discovering the truth and an urgent desire to turn the tide, welled up in the heart of the Lord of Light.

Without further hesitation, He transformed His vast divine power into the most intense mental shockwave, which swept across the entire battlefield and towards the Red Heart Society gods who were wreaking havoc, like a cosmic broadcast.

He attempted to penetrate the thick barrier built of hatred and murderous intent, to convey a clear understanding to the gods of the Red Heart Society.

【Stop! 】

Stop!

Stop hitting them!

We are not the real enemy!

We've all been fooled!

Their true enemy has never been each other!

Rather, it is the invisible hand hidden behind the scenes, manipulating everything, and weaving this script of destruction.

It's that damned fate!

[He was the mastermind behind allowing the Red Heart Society to glimpse a corner of this destructive future, thus sowing the seeds of hatred.]

Who could possess such abilities to manipulate time and space and foresee the future?

Is it the will of the abyss, symbolizing the source of endless chaos and destruction?

Is it still that calculating, hellish will that controls the very essence of suffering?

Only the wills of these two great worlds possess such power and means, and the ability to ignite the conflict between them with a mere gesture.

[In any case, it could never be the will of the spirit world that is currently in a state of withdrawal and in a precarious condition!]

If the will of the spirit world truly possessed such flawless planning and far-reaching strategic abilities, how could it have fallen into such a desolate state, needing to isolate itself to avoid disaster?

They were all victims!

[They are pathetic creatures manipulated by a higher will!]

They should join forces to find the real mastermind, instead of fighting amongst themselves and bringing pain to their loved ones and joy to their enemies!

[But the truth revealed by the Lord of Glory, which he believed to be insightful and an attempt to turn the tide, had less effect on the True Gods of the Red Heart Society, whose hearts were burning with hatred, than a gentle breeze brushing against their robes.]

Their expressions remained unchanged—no confusion, no wavering, not even a hint of mockery.

The response to the Lord of Radiance was the most direct and crude collective voice of the Red Heart Society gods, erupting like a volcano.

[Idiot!]

[You're thinking way too much!]

[They're about to die, and they're still using rhetoric and brainwashing tactics?]

Do you think we're three-year-olds?

Save your energy and just wait to die!

As for the so-called mockery of fate?

The gods of the Red Heart Society scoffed at this, finding it utterly laughable!

The Red Heart Society's suppression of the Heavenly Pantheon has never been because they've fallen into some bullshit fate trap!

[It's purely to avenge that blood feud!]

[This is to settle the blood debts owed in previous timelines where the Holy Spirit Legions of the Heavenly Pantheon slaughtered people and the Heavenly Monarchs arbitrarily suppressed them.]

[It's this self-proclaimed holy trash from the Heavenly Pantheon who, from the very beginning, neither understood nor was worthy of understanding the transcendent ideals of the founders of the Red Heart Society!]

They deserve only to be destroyed!

[And what about the so-called mastermind behind the discovery of the mysteries of time and space?]

Everyone knows that within the entire Red Heart Society, only the founder has deciphered the mysteries of time and space.

[Damn it, these idiots are still slandering the founders before they die?]

Who would believe such nonsense?

At this very moment, every surviving True God of the Red Heart Society has long since cast aside the dignity and composure they once possessed as True Gods.

From the moment they witnessed the Red Heart Society headquarters turn to cosmic dust and its founder fall, the boundless anger and deep-seated hatred that had been building up in their hearts desperately needed an outlet.

Those identities, statuses, and images that once required restraint all seem so laughable and insignificant in the face of overwhelming hatred.

They roared without restraint, cursing everything in the heavenly pantheon with the filthiest, most vicious, and most tyrannical swear words.

[Never mind all that, let's just vent our anger first!]

The anger in one's heart always needs an outlet. Before completely destroying the enemy, first trample them a thousand times with words!

In short, there's nothing that can't be attacked with a single "fuck your mother."

[If so, then add one more sentence.] (End of Chapter)
