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

This extraordinary, cross-dimensional negotiation was built on an absolute information gap from the very first second, making it destined to be a tilted scale.

Yu Xiao, the Night God who has long since seen through countless hidden rules of Hell throughout the river of time, is intimately familiar with the negotiation tactics employed by the Will of Hell for billions of years.

They were even fully aware of the cunning psychological implications hidden behind every seemingly reasonable concession.

He was like a gambler sitting across from his opponent at the card table, not only seeing all of his opponent's hidden cards but also knowing exactly what tricks they would play next.

[In contrast, the Will of Hell, this colossal being who prides himself on being the world's greatest negotiator, seems to have no understanding of the newly crowned Lord of the Night, as if he were shrouded in an unexplored, chaotic void.]

His prized experience, his meticulously designed traps, and his masterful bargaining skills appeared so pale and powerless, even somewhat comical, under Yu Xiao's insightful gaze!

Given this huge information disparity, who will lose?

[Or rather, Yu Xiao will inevitably be able to secure his own maximum benefit.]

The clashes between true gods, and the transactions between true gods and the greater world, may seem grand and sophisticated, but in essence, they are nothing more than a game of interests.

When interests are at stake, and pure violence cannot resolve the issue directly, information asymmetry becomes crucial!

[A crucial piece of news could potentially turn the tide of the negotiations.]

[And now, Yu Xiao's information gap regarding the will of hell is more than just one important piece of information.]

That was simply a massive, multi-billion-dollar information flow.

This blatant and overwhelming dominance in terms of information transformed what should have been a classic game of skillful maneuvering and calculation into a humiliating experience of being unilaterally and brutally beaten by the will of hell.

[His will projection, condensed from the crimson essence, dimmed noticeably in this long and agonizing tug-of-war, due to intense emotional fluctuations and energy depletion, like a candle flickering in the wind.]

Finally, a heavy sigh, filled with endless helplessness, indescribable weariness, and a hint of apprehension even He Himself was unwilling to admit, echoed from the depths of the violently churning crimson mist.

For true friends, even the embrace of hell is always open to kindness.

The light and mist were distorted, extremely awkward, yet the words conveyed from within the crimson light were filled with extreme goodwill.

Congratulations, Lord Yu Xiao, you've won this time!

Everything will be done according to the conditions you set.

[Unrestricted mining rights to those twenty rich realms and their surrounding star systems, plus the massive amounts of Dark Divinity resources you requested.]

[Hell will deliver on time and in full!]

As soon as he finished speaking, a gigantic scarlet eye materialized from the misty light, staring intently at Yu Xiao.

There was no trace of kindness left in those eyes, only naked inquiry and cold scrutiny.

Now, let's talk about something else!

[Lord Yu Xiao!]

【With the will of the spirit realm at your back, to what extent do you intend to cultivate this monster, the Crimson Heart World, into?】

Could it be that in your grand blueprint, that wildly expanding world embryo possesses the terrifying potential to transform into a vast world?

The moment this earth-shattering question was posed, the core will of Hell was driven mad.

The invisible crimson primal force surrounding Yu Xiao suddenly surged to its highest energy level, transforming into an absolutely real lie-detecting net that covered the level of rules.

Every fluctuation of divine thought, every ripple of energy, the most subtle tremor of the soul—all are exposed within this vast web built on deception and trapped by truth.

He must know the truth!

[Or rather, this is the fundamental reason why the will of hell descended exceptionally, even extending goodwill to Yu Xiao.]

The so-called alliances, the so-called division of profits, and the so-called transactions are all insignificant in the face of this matter.

After all, the Red Heart Society's terrifyingly rapid expansion was simply outrageous.

[A terrifying leap forward every year that defies common sense!]

This completely defies the normal principles of how the world is conceived and developed!

When will the growth of a world be measured in years?

The development of ordinary civilizations in the mundane world is measured in decades, let alone the vast organizations in the universe.

[Moreover, it's an organization with a true god overseeing it!]

If the Red Heart Society were just an ordinary force, or merely a force with a true god overseeing it, that would be fine.

The will of hell can tolerate these miracles, and may even invest in and cooperate with them.

Behind the Red Heart Society stands the slumbering behemoth of the Spirit Realm!

Therefore, every move the other party makes will trigger associations with the will of hell.

[Amidst the flourishing development of the Red Heart Society, a conjecture so audacious that even the core of the Will of Hell trembled was born.]

Should the Spirit Realm emulate the existence model of the two great worlds of the Chaotic Faction and personally cultivate a powerful ally?

【Do not! 】

【wrong! 】

This thought was immediately overturned by a deeper fear. In its deep slumber, the Spirit Realm's will, relying solely on instinct and the world's defense mechanisms, forcefully repelled the combined provocation of the Abyss and Hell's world wills.

Given that the other side possesses such devastating power, why would they need to go to the trouble of supporting an ally?

What's the point?

Unless His goal is not simply to form an alliance!

[If the Crimson Heart World were truly catalyzed into a new, vast world, even if it possessed only half the power of the Spirit Realm,] [if it could temporarily hold back either the Abyss or Hell, could the remaining one withstand the unreserved, devastating blow from the Spirit Realm at its peak?]

The answer is almost certain!

[The Spirit Realm!]

His ultimate goal is to completely erase the abyss and hell from the cosmic map.

[Then, what changes will occur when only you and a half-baked vast world remain in the entire universe?]

[The Spirit Realm has already devoured the Abyss and Hell, what's one more thing—the Crimson Heart Great World?]

[It is precisely because this hypothesis is highly probable that the Will of Hell is so eager to extract information from Yu Xiao.]

This pioneer of the spirit world became the second True God of the Night by virtue of the authority of darkness existing within the spirit world.

What is the purpose of the spirit world sending them here?

Is it because of the concealment offered by the darkness?

[Or is it that the will of the spirit world believes the Goddess of the Night is disobedient and is preparing to replace her?]

However, on the other hand, hasn't the will of the spirit world always been dormant?

[Could the recent news about him going into a deep sleep also be false?]

[Has the will of the spirit world already awakened?]

In an instant, countless thoughts and ideas flashed through the mind of the Will of Hell.

Across from him, Yu Xiao calmly stared at the imposing, crimson giant eye.

The churning suspicion and fear of the will of hell were as clear to Yu Xiao as an open book.

He could even clearly sense that every word and action he uttered, every trace of energy he emitted, was under the near-absolute, real detection of the Crimson Origin.

At this moment, any lie will be doomed before this web of rules built on the foundation of deceit and power.

Even the true god cannot deceive the will of hell.

Therefore, he neither chose to deceive, nor could he deceive.

The next moment, Yu Xiao spoke.

[Has the world of pure hearts developed into a vast world?]

Hell, your imagination runs wild.

I have no idea what the Red Heart World will become in the future, and my investment of resources in it is simply a matter of whim.

If this causes you any trouble, provide me with ten times the divine resources, and I will immediately cease cultivating the Red Heart World. How about that?

[Yu Xiao paused as he spoke.]

Furthermore, how can an ordinary world embryo be forcibly transformed into a vast world capable of supporting a multiverse?

Isn't this whole thing absurd?

I am merely an ordinary True God who has only recently been promoted and is barely holding onto my place in the universe.

Do you think I have the ability to change the world and reshape its status?

[Then, Yu Xiao changed the subject, posing a more realistic and down-to-earth problem.]

Furthermore, even if I, Yu Xiao, were to indulge in wishful thinking and genuinely hope that the Pure Heart World could one day become the so-called Pure Heart Great World.

So, how much astronomical a sum of resources do you think this would require?

How much cosmic essence would be needed to drive even a true god mad?

This isn't something I can decide just because I want to!

This is completely beyond my capabilities, even beyond the limits that your hellish will can easily withstand!

Even if we take a step back and say that I have the will of the spirit world behind me.

The will of the spirit realm intends to cultivate the Crimson Heart World, to nurture it into a great world, and then join forces to crush you and the Abyss.

[So, during this process, you can't perceive any changes in energy or resource input?]

The fact that you can say something like this shows that you've been paying attention to the Red Heart World and the Red Heart Society for a long time, right?

Have you sensed that the spirit world is investing a lot of resources in this area?

If you claim you can't even detect large-scale resource allocation, then you're treating me like a fool.

Whether any of this happened or not, you know the truth in your heart.

Of course, if you want to invest in the Red Heart World and nurture it into a major world that will eventually side with you.

I'll just say one thing!

[As long as you provide the necessary divine resources, I'm perfectly willing to work for you!]

Not far away, the Hellish Will, listening to Yu Xiao's words, caused its avatar formed from its crimson origin to churn continuously.

[This guy's words are way too blatant, aren't they?]

[If the other party has already said everything, what should I say next?] (End of Chapter)
