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

The will of hell, with its molten gold eyes composed of pure malice and contract runes, stared at Yu Xiao for a long time, its enormous pupils radiating a crimson light that seemed capable of freezing the soul.

All words seemed to freeze under this cold gaze, only the invisible pressure of will, like billions of invisible threads, coiled around Yu Xiao's divine essence, trying to catch even the slightest flaw or wavering in the most minute fluctuation.

A moment later, the solidified crimson molten gold suddenly melted.

[That enormous face instantly formed a gigantic smile that was both incredibly human and chilling to the bone.]

A voice, seemingly twisted from the screams of billions of souls, carrying a heavy air of flattery and intimacy, suddenly boomed within Yu Xiao's consciousness.

Oh~!

【Your Excellency, Lord of the Night!】

My closest brother in hell!

Thank you for your honesty, which has answered this trivial question that troubled me.

Your heart is as vast as the boundless starry sky!

The passion in that voice was almost overflowing, as if the person opposite him wasn't Yu Xiao, but rather the father of hell.

The Will of Hell paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

Hell really doesn't mean anything else!

[It was simply that, in the vast, uneventful river of time, I suddenly came across the Red Heart Society, a unique entity whose development speed is truly bizarre in the world.]

[I'm just asking out of curiosity.]

Please don't overthink it!

【real! 】

Please believe that hell will never betray its true friends.

Our friendship is as strong and enduring as obsidian at the bottom of the abyss!

Yu Xiao listened quietly to this sincere declaration, his sharp left eyebrow twitching almost imperceptibly upwards.

When it comes to the will of hell, it always needs to be heard in reverse.

When He emphasizes that there is no other meaning, the meaning is so great that it could fill the fissures of the abyss.

While He claimed to be merely curious, His greedy tentacles had already reached deep into His target.

When He swears he will never betray a friend, it means you've already become the most juicy piece of meat on His chopping block.

However, compared to the pointless and theatrical nonsense about the Will of Hell, Yu Xiao was more satisfied with what he had gained this time.

[That massive list of resources, granted by the will of hell!]

As for the future of the Red Heart World?

He said he couldn't figure it out, and that was certainly the truth.

This colossal ship, carrying limitless possibilities, has long since transcended the control of any individual; he could only glimpse a fraction of its potential through the developments of the previous timeline.

Moreover, the true backer of the Crimson Heart World has never been the empty title of the Spirit Realm's will, but rather the unassuming founder who holds limitless possibilities!

This first meeting, filled with fake smiles and hidden agendas, ended successfully in a tacitly agreed-upon atmosphere of mutual goodwill.

The molten gold eyes of the will of hell receded like a tide, leaving only a benevolent will echoing and slowly dissipating in the divine realm.

When Lin Xia learned the details of the transaction through the Red Heart Society's core information network, she simply smiled calmly and offered no further comment.

[To the will of hell, he is the only true old friend.]

[Old rivals who have traversed the river of time, intertwined and locked in a struggle for countless years.]

[The other party's decision to bypass him, the founder, and directly negotiate with Yu Xiao, the newly ascended True God, reveals their intentions quite clearly.]

Within the deeply ingrained cognitive system of Hell's Will, which equates power with authority, Lin Xia's actual position as the controller of the Red Heart Society is questionable.

In His view, the reason why the Red Heart Society obeyed Lin Xia's every command was simply because Yu Xiao, a being with the status of a true god in the spirit world, had not yet made a move to seize power.

[If Yu Xiao so decides, overthrowing Lin Xia's rule will be a matter of minutes.]

[A power that has not yet consolidated its internal strength and poses a potential threat to its own authority will naturally prioritize contacting the potential holder of real power.]

However, the final glance from the Hellish Will's crimson eyes before it vanished completely into the void was imprinted with unprecedented solemnity and inquiry, deeply etched onto the boundary wall constructed of rule runes at the Red Heart Society headquarters.

This world, which He perceives as filled with miracles and contradictions, undoubtedly hides a vast and unknown secret.

[Leaving aside other things, just consider the thick, almost tangible barrier of dark energy above the Red Heart Society headquarters, which tightly envelops the entire core area.]

This is practically announcing to the world that this place is haunted!

Such a blatant attempt to conceal something is utterly laughable.

Any true god with eyes can see that there's something wrong here!

However, upon further reflection, the will of hell seemed less daunting.

[To rise and grow at such an inconceivable speed in an environment where all the gods of the universe covet and the abyss of hell covets, it would truly be a miracle if it didn't possess some earth-shattering secret and an opportunity to defy fate.] [This secret might be even more interesting than He imagined.]

But as Hell, the will of the great world in the universe, He doesn't care!

In October of the 160th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, a barely perceptible crack was quietly torn open in the natural barrier surrounding the Crimson Heart World, which consisted of multiple spatial folds and energy turbulence.

A figure silently infiltrated the area.

[He did not force his way through, but rather bypassed the powerful outer defense network of the Crimson Heart World in a way that was almost like merging with it.]

[The Demon God of the Heart!]

This once-renowned, supreme demon god who held sway over the mind in the abyss, now resembled a thief who couldn't bear the light of day.

His body was tightly enveloped in a cloak of nothingness woven from pure spiritual mist and abyssal shadows, compressing his presence, divine power fluctuations, and even the trajectory of his destiny to the extreme.

What drove Him to venture forth from the abyss and void at any cost and with immense risk was an irresistible, unseen guidance from the deepest recesses of His soul.

That power was mysterious and vast, surpassing His understanding of the will of the abyss, as if the spindle of fate was forcibly pulling His trajectory.

Upon seeing this unexpected guest arrive, your brow furrowed slightly, and a genuine look of surprise flashed across your eyes.

Judging from historical trends, the inner demon has arrived far too late!

The Red Heart Society has been developing rapidly in this timeline for over thirty years, expanding its sphere of influence several times over. Why is this abyssal behemoth, who should have been attracted within a few years, arriving so late?

More importantly, the Star Demon God, who is inseparable from Him and should also be guided here, remains missing to this day.

The time lag and variables involved clearly demonstrate that certain factors beyond his prior knowledge had quietly intervened in the course of history.

What is the root cause of this change?

Is this an anomaly in the will of the spirit world?

Or is it the turmoil within the abyss itself?

Or perhaps it's a hand he hasn't yet noticed plucking the strings of fate?

In a flash, Lin Xia made her decision.

He still didn't choose to appear in person, but instead issued instructions to Yu Xiao, who was stationed at the Red Heart Society headquarters, through a mental link.

Soon, a guiding starlight constructed from the pure rules of the night, like precise coordinates, pierced through the void and gently landed on the stardust shadow where the Heart Demon God was hiding.

Yu Xiao, the being revered by outsiders as the Lord of the Night, will receive this secret visitor from the abyss in the Eternal Night Hall, a symbol of power and mystery at headquarters.

On one hand, you want to find out what exactly happened to the Heart Demon God through your conversation with Yu Xiao.

On the other hand, you have indeed been very busy lately.

Within the ultimate rules you wield, a dazzling nebula woven from countless threads of rules is expanding and evolving at an unprecedented speed.

[In recent decades, thanks to batches of returning future warriors who bravely chose the path of transformation, the universe of rules within him has been greatly nourished and expanded.]

[In the previous timeline, when those warriors achieved the status of demigods of rules, they selected the one that best suited their own nature from the more than four hundred mature rule paths that Lin Xia had already mastered, and then cultivated it deeply.]

But this time, the situation is completely different.

These warriors returned carrying a precious elixir of regret that transcended time and space. They yearned to break free from the shackles of the past and explore entirely new realms of rules within the Extreme Rules Nebula, realms that had yet to be illuminated, realms that even Lin Xia had never ventured into.

This is a high-stakes gamble!

Those who succeed will carve out their own constellation of rules in the unknown wilderness, adding a new dimension to the ultimate rules.

Those who fail may find their path crumbling, wasting a great deal of time and missing out on the Red Heart Society's golden development period.

However, high risk comes with high reward. Every Red Heart Society warrior who successfully integrates the new rules into the Extreme Nebula is like igniting a new star in the boundless dark universe.

Their success is not merely a personal breakthrough, but a significant enrichment and elevation of the rules of the extreme path itself.

In just a few decades, the number of rules with complete Dao beacons contained within this nebula of rules has already surpassed the five hundred mark.

[And this number is continuing to grow steadily!]

You can clearly feel that with the addition of each new rule, the foundation of the entire rule system becomes more solid, and the resulting power becomes more diverse, immense, and unpredictable.

In a daze, you glimpsed a breathtaking vision of the future.

This is merely the beginning of a glorious era!

The power accumulated by the Red Heart Society will unleash an unprecedented and highly efficient burst of energy in the years to come.

[Perhaps one day in the future, the ultimate rules within you might truly possess a thousand different rules.]

The Great Dao has three thousand paths!

If your ultimate rules can encompass three thousand rules, your combat power will soar to an unimaginable level.

[This is something everyone is really looking forward to!] (End of Chapter)
