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

Did the spirit world, amidst this chaos, hurt the genuine emotions of those in the chaotic faction?

What the hell is this nonsense?

[The chaotic forces, the abyss and hell—when have they ever possessed anything that could be called emotion?]

Not to mention its simplicity?

This is simply putting on a cloak of innocent childlike purity, masking the primal traits of greed, killing, deception, and chaos—traits etched into the very marrow of their divinity.

What exactly is that old fox, Hell's Will, up to?

[You're taking the money and not doing the work, huh?]

This is just a blatant attempt to get by!

However, within the mind of the War God, which resembled a meticulously crafted war sandbox, this absurd interlude merely stirred a negligible ripple.

[Afterwards, this matter was quickly categorized as trivial intelligence noise.]

The war machine is in full swing; colossal beasts from the abyss and the spirit realm are tearing through space, and every second, planes crumble in agony.

In the face of a conflict of this magnitude, exploring the reasons behind the abyss's madness seems more like a supplement to strategic intelligence.

Having this information is certainly beneficial, as it allows us to analyze opponents' behavioral patterns and accumulate data for future, more brutal struggles.

If the truth cannot be uncovered, it's not a big deal; in fact, it's just as good.

The highly aggressive deep-sea plundering strategy plan that He previously submitted to the will of the spirit world can finally be legitimately and vigorously implemented under the pretext of responding to the unprovoked invasion of the abyss.

Let this inexplicable war become the clarion call for the spirit realm to tear apart the flesh and blood of the abyss!

In May of the 210th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, four pillars of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, began to subtly change in the void surrounding the Spirit Realm.

The indestructible golden light that formed from supreme rules, protecting Zhou Mo, the old principal, Wang Meng, and Lin Xue, slowly receded like a tide.

This signifies that the four newly born True Gods of the Rules have successfully crossed that final hurdle and completed the ultimate sublimation of the essence of life.

Their divinity is solidified in the void, and their divine kingdom is quietly established at the level of rules.

Just moments before the power of these four new gods was fully consolidated and the golden light protecting them dissipated, a deadly assassination, seemingly calculated a million times over, unfolded on another bloody battlefield.

[At the heart of the divine war, a true god of faith, belonging to the Heavenly Pantheon, renowned for his holy light barrier and whose divine body's defensive power is unparalleled among the gods, is engaged in a fierce battle with several Abyss Demons.]

His holy light shield is unbreakable, his source of faith is as abundant as the sea, and his divine kingdom shines brightly behind him, like an eternal beacon.

Just as He gathered His immense holy light, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to His opponent, a sudden change occurred.

A figure, darker than the deepest night and more piercing than the sharpest ice, seemed to materialize directly from the void of shadows.

【Ye Lingtian!】

This god of slaughter, who wields the rules of killing, transcended the barriers of time and space without warning, appearing precisely in the absolute blind spot of that true god of heaven, like the scythe wielded by the Grim Reaper.

A blade of slaughter, flowing with a viscous, blood-like liquid, inscribed with countless annihilation runes, and radiating an aura of annihilation, was suddenly drawn from its sheath.

This is Ye Lingtian's self-created forbidden technique for destroying gods, a manifestation of the annihilation and return to nothingness.

[With a speed exceeding the limits of perception, it silently pierced through the seemingly impenetrable barrier of holy light, forcefully penetrating the core of the true god's body.]

Under the full force of the killing rules—a terrifying power that ignores defense and targets the very essence of existence—the true god of Heaven couldn't even fully display an expression of astonishment.

The radiant divine essence within Him, constructed from pure faith and the laws of light, shattered like glass struck by a heavy hammer, emitting a clear yet chilling cry that terrified the heavens, instantly becoming covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Then, it shattered with a deafening roar!

[Before the terrifying shockwaves from the shattered divine essence had fully spread, an even more terrifying scene unfolded, causing the gods to tremble with fear.]

[Believing in the true God means, normally speaking, that faith will never perish, and the true God will never die!]

Compared to divinity, the Kingdom of God is the key to everything in faith in the true God.

This is also the fundamental reason why it is difficult to kill someone who believes in the true God.

However, after Ye Lingtian destroyed the opponent's divine body, the glorious divine kingdom—symbolizing the foundation of the true god's existence, supported by the faith of billions of believers, and theoretically eternal as long as faith endures—began to fluctuate.

The seemingly indestructible barrier of the divine realm began to twist violently in the void.

[Immediately afterwards, as if cursed and crushed by an invisible force, it collapsed with a series of teeth-grinding, cracking sounds.]

Countless sacred temples were reduced to dust, and worshippers in prayer were consumed by the backlash of their despairing faith.

[A true god of faith, possessing astonishing defensive capabilities, at the peak of his condition, and with an abundant wellspring of faith, perished in the blink of an eye, without even having time to struggle.]

[Completely destroyed, body and soul!]

This sudden, terrifying phenomenon, which defied common sense and divine norms, instantly ignited the entire void battlefield.

Whether it was the true gods of the Heavenly pantheon, the gods of the spirit realm, or the raging demons of the abyss and the cunning devils of hell, all were shaken to their core, their divine thoughts filled with unbelievable horror.

[Has the true god fallen?]

[Killed instantly?]

【How can this be? 】

[True gods are very hard to kill!]

This is an ironclad rule deeply ingrained in the understanding of all divine beings!

The universe has existed for countless ages, and the three world wills have fought each other for countless eras. In reality, the number of true gods who have truly perished in direct divine wars is not that many.

[The fall of each true god is accompanied by a long and brutal war of attrition, a cosmic event lasting hundreds or even thousands of years.]

[It would require exhausting the opponent's divine power, shaking the foundation of their faith, and weakening the very essence of their divine kingdom before there is even a sliver of a chance.]

[Yet now, a fully healthy and faithful true God, right under their noses, was swiftly killed like a chicken by an unknown new god?]

Oh my god!

Has this world gone mad?

What exactly happened?!

The gods' shock, fear, and bewilderment intertwined and collided in the void, forming an invisible spiritual storm!

However, the power and mystery of the True God of Rules also attracted the greed of a group of True Gods of Authority.

[The new path to godhood, is it really that powerful?]

[Slaying those who believe in a true god is as easy as child's play!]

[Furthermore, being uncontrolled by the will of the Great World, isn't this new divine path ridiculously strong?] [Suddenly, all the gods understood why the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God had sacrificed their own lives to block the way, rushing into the chaos at this moment.]

If successful, these two top-tier demon gods, now under constraint, might one day be able to stand on equal footing with the Great World.

Just thinking about it excites God!

[Ye Lingtian's attack succeeded, and the remaining divine essence and shattered fragments of rules on the God-Slaying Blade were like the sweetest poison, greedily devoured by the roaring killing rules operating within his body, turning into nourishment for his own growth.]

He didn't even glance at the dissipating ruins of the divine kingdom; his cold, merciless killing intent had already locked onto the other, enraged true gods in the Heavenly Pantheon.

That look in his eyes was like a butcher choosing the next lamb to be slaughtered!

[The true divine war that terrified and caused the gods to fall, the prelude to the legendary Ragnarok.]

At this moment, it is being played out in the most bloody and direct way!

[From the Heavenly Pantheon, ten powerful True Gods, their auras overwhelming and their holy light almost scorching through the void, tore through space in an instant, fueled by boundless rage and a hint of barely perceptible fear, and charged towards Ye Lingtian.]

They vowed to kill this heretic on the spot who dared to murder his comrades and blaspheme the Holy Light.

However, the emergency return of these ten top-tier Heavenly warriors greatly reduced the pressure on the group of Abyss Demons and Hell-type True Gods who had been under their tight control, allowing them to break free.

These ferocious demons from the chaotic faction, like rabid dogs freed from their chains, with savage grins, pounced without hesitation on the other relatively weak points of the spirit realm's defenses on the battlefield.

Although this is only a subtle change in the local battlefield situation, the impact is not very drastic.

However, if the Abyss and Hell seize this advantage and expand their gains like a snowball, creating a multi-pronged attack, it will be catastrophic news for the entire spirit realm's defenses!

The God of War instantly sensed this danger and immediately reported it to the Spirit Realm.

Without the slightest hesitation, the will of the spirit realm unleashed an even more powerful and refined force of order, like a celestial river pouring down, crashing down upon the precarious spirit realm defenses.

[And the Abyss's will's perception is equally shockingly acute.]

[He didn't need his demon gods to report; almost at the same time the power of the spirit realm's will descended, He sensed the excellent opportunity presented by Ye Lingtian, this unexpected variable.]

[After keenly sensing the situation, the Abyss's will did not hesitate and immediately granted Ye Lingtian the blessing of the Great World.]

Although Ye Lingtian is not an Abyss Demon God, and is not subordinate to the Abyss Will.

In principle, He will not benefit from the blessing of the Abyss's will.

The key issue is that Ye Lingtian is killing True Gods of the Spirit Realm, weakening its fighting power.

This is good news for the Abyss!

[We'd love to see this happen!]

As for principles?

The will of the abyss is the principle itself!

[Thus, a powerful, chaotic, and corrosive abyssal force, disregarding the boundaries of faction affiliation, swept across the battlefield like viscous, blood-red lava, pouring fiercely into Ye Lingtian's body, which was surging with killing intent.]

[With this terrifying blessing from the will of the Great World, the killing aura emanating from Ye Lingtian surged instantly, and the eerie light on the God-Slaying Blade became even deeper and more soul-freezing!]

[The Will of Hell, the most cunning mastermind in this chaotic faction, naturally wouldn't let this escalating chaotic feast slip by.]

His will, like an invisible spiderweb, silently spread across the battlefield, fueling the flames.

[They might create minor mishaps at crucial moments, or continue to spread misleading smokescreens at the negotiating table, making the situation even more murky and difficult to discern.]

At the heart of this chaotic vortex of clashing world wills, the auras of Zhou Mo, the old principal, Wang Meng, and Lin Xue—the four newly promoted True Gods of Rules—began to change.

Their very existence, and the residual fluctuations of rules from their ascension, were secretly exploited by the Will of Hell, who, through its dazzling array of deception and confusion, skillfully evaded them like a magic trick.

Is the aftermath of the spirit realm's furious attack, aimed at tracing back to and destroying the source of the new god, coming back?

【It doesn't matter! 】

[The Abyss and Hell are already joining forces to fight against the Spirit Realm's offensive. Wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for them to also cushion these scattered energy shocks and cover any friendly units that might be on the edge of the battlefield?]

At this critical moment when the life-or-death battle of the gods has broken out, the Abyss and Hell will not hesitate to do anything that can make the enemy's spirit realm uncomfortable and distract them.

Who cares about the specific reasons behind it?

In this matter, the will of the spirit realm felt an unprecedented sense of frustration and rage.

The thieves who stole authority from the spirit world almost all successfully advanced and escaped.

All attacks from the spirit realm missed their target.

How could this not anger the spirit world?

His immense consciousness reverberated through the starry sky, unleashing a torrent of fury at being deceived and weakened.

[Since you, Abyss, dare to blatantly disrupt the offensive rhythm of my Spirit Realm, shelter that damned True God of Rules, and may even be protecting other unknown threats.]

【OK! 】

If you do the first thing, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth!

The will of the spirit realm instantly retrieved the strategically insightful plan previously submitted by the God of War, and a vast power of order began to quietly and purposefully converge around the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God.

Invisible chains of order, like a net stretching across the sky, wove themselves across the void.

[Abyss, weren't you going to cause trouble?]

"Weren't you supposed to be protecting the spirit world thieves?"

【it is good! 】

[Then I will concentrate my efforts to ensure that the paths to advancement for these two traitors, the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God, are unobstructed.]

Let you in the Abyss experience what it truly means to try and steal a chicken only to lose the bait!

Just you wait and see!

With the full support of the spirit realm's will, their ascension to higher rules is destined to succeed.

In August of the 216th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society's plan to create a god proceeded with great peril yet unwavering determination amidst the chaotic situation of the three world wills clashing with each other.

[All those who successfully ascend to the status of True Gods of the Rules execute their predetermined plans without hesitation immediately after completing their transformation.]

[They silently disappeared into the depths of the most mysterious Star Abyss in the universe, hiding away from the eyes of the gods, quietly absorbing power, and awaiting the final summons.]

[Everything awaits the complete establishment of the Crimson Heart Pantheon, enabling it to stand openly and proudly before the Great World!] (End of Chapter)
