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

Why wasn't it the Heart Demon God who completed his transformation first, and then the Star Demon God who was trapped inside?

This thought appears in your mind.

But in just a moment, you extinguished that thought.

[You know very well, and are well aware of the attitudes of the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God, these two abyssal behemoths, towards the Crimson Heart Society; the basis for this attitude lies in the balance of power.]

They truly bowed down when the Red Heart Society's power in the previous timeline was sufficient to give them an overwhelming advantage.

When the Red Heart Society was still in its infancy, they merely used it as experimental material.

This is simply the ironclad rule of the universe that power reigns supreme, and there's nothing wrong with that.

In this current timeline, the Star Demon God has successfully transitioned to cultivating the rules, resulting in a surge in power. Consequently, the Red Heart Society's importance in His heart has naturally diminished.

Therefore, their choices and actions at this moment will become a key indicator of how Chixin will treat them in the future!

Just as the gods held their breath, convinced that the Demon God was trapped under the deathly gaze of the three world wills, unable to escape and about to be crushed to dust by the converged supreme power, a sudden change occurred.

The golden light of the supreme rule protecting the Heart Demon God, which had dimmed slightly as the sacrifice neared its end, suddenly burst forth with a brilliance far exceeding its initial intensity, as if it had been infused with immense energy once more.

The inner demon god, seemingly aware of its predicament, decided to continue the process of transformation and sacrifice.

As long as the transformation and sacrifice process continues, the protection of the supreme rules will remain.

The will of that great world was therefore unable to attack Him.

[It's unknown how the Heart Demon God managed to do something that other true gods couldn't.]

But that's exactly what's happening.

[The Demon God not only accomplished this, but the light of its protection grew even brighter, even returning to the moment when the Demon God first began its sacrifice and cultivation.]

[The Will of the Abyss: "?"]

[Hell's Will: "??"]

[Spirit Realm Will: "???"]

The wills of the three great worlds reached an unprecedented consensus at this moment.

They were dumbfounded!

I'm completely dumbfounded!

[Can things really be done like this?]

They watched helplessly as the protective barrier surrounding the Demon God not only became indestructible again, but its strength even strangely returned to its peak state when the sacrificial ritual had just begun.

[The ritual rewinding that other true gods might not be able to accomplish even if they exhausted their divine power and risked everything, was not only done by the Heart Demon God, but done so so smoothly, as if he had simply pressed the replay button.]

This angered, yet also left the wills of the three great worlds feeling helpless.

[If the Inner Demon God continues to play like this, it will be stuck indefinitely in the state of sacrifice and cultivation.]

Are these three supreme world wills destined to be like fools, forever nailed to this place, wasting their boundless power against an unbreakable golden shield?

Although for their near-eternal lives, waiting for decades, centuries, or even millennia is but a fleeting moment, this feeling is still very unpleasant.

Why should these mere inner demons waste so much of our time?

Despite the brief exchange between the three great worlds, they decided to wait here for a while.

After all, they had already witnessed the threat posed by the Star Demon God, and the Heart Demon God's ability to restore the protection of the supreme rules had also made them wary.

This god must not be allowed to live!

February of the 256th year of the Extraordinary Calendar has arrived. The vast majority of the attention and power of the three Great Worlds' wills are firmly tied down on the Void Battlefield by the Heart Demon God, this thorn in their side.

This significantly reduced the intensity of the divine war that had swept across the heavens, presenting a strange cooling-off state.

[But this is only relative. In another corner of the war between gods, the flames of war not only did not extinguish, but burned even more fiercely and frantically.]

That place is Ye Lingtian's battlefield!

[It's a battleground where the God of Rules and the Heavenly Gods clash in an endless struggle!]

Ye Lingtian, this True God of Rules who attained enlightenment through killing, has killing itself as the source of his power.

Every swing of the sword of slaughter, every time the eternal life of a true god is taken away, the instantaneous manifestation of the true meaning of death and the ultimate fear of the end of life become the best nourishment for the sublimation of His rules.

[He needs no prisoners, no negotiations; His existence is solely for the destruction of the Heavenly pantheon, thereby maximizing His own power.]

Later, when the Red Heart Society was targeted by the Great World, he used his own power to protect the Red Heart Society.

[During this prolonged standoff, the newly promoted True Gods of the Red Heart Society, who had already completed their rule transformation and thoroughly stabilized their realm in the most secluded part of the Star Abyss Land, quietly returned.]

Under the all-encompassing cover of the Rule of Night, like the most deadly ghostly assassin, they silently slipped out of the Star Abyss Land, traversed the boundless sea of ​​stars, and precisely converged around Ye Lingtian.

Originally, the dozens of true gods gathered by the Heavenly Pantheon were evenly matched with Ye Lingtian, thanks to their exquisite teamwork, powerful divine magic arrays, and the advantage of their home-field advantage.

They could see it: Ye Lingtian, this mad god, had burned away all his own essence.

[As long as time can be stalled, victory will ultimately belong to the Heavenly Gods.] [Clearly, they succeeded.]

Since the rules of killing rely on killing to maintain their essence, why not simply prevent the opponent from successfully killing?

At this stage, although the Heavenly Pantheon cannot completely defeat Ye Lingtian, this god of death, it can barely maintain the battle line and drag the war into a quagmire of attrition.

But when Agrus's divine body, burning with undying fighting spirit, tore through space and descended, Wang Meng's iron fist, imbued with the ultimate essence of martial arts, shattered the barrier of Heaven.

[Lin Xue's will to manipulate the torrent of souls paralyzed the nodes of divine magic; Zhou Mo's pen, writing the maxims of rules, distorted reality.]

When these powerful, wolf-like True Gods of the Crimson Heart Society joined the battle like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, the balance of power on the battlefield instantly crumbled.

The situation is completely out of control!

The carefully constructed defenses of the Heavenly Pantheon proved as fragile as paper against the unreasonable and perfectly coordinated gang warfare tactics of the True God of the Red Heart Society.

Most importantly, the gods of Heaven were horrified to discover that these newly ascended gods possessed an unbelievable level of understanding and application of divine magic.

This doesn't seem like a new god!

[It's like a veteran true god who, after undergoing a transformation, hasn't completely forgotten their divine battle instincts.]

Even more outrageous is that the gods of the Red Heart Society always manage to break through the ancient divine magic arrays of Heaven using the most ingenious angles and the least effort.

Their fighting style was utterly devoid of divine elegance and composure, filled instead with a naked, highly efficient, and violent aesthetic.

Close-quarters combat, clashes of rules, trading blows for injuries, and even using divine bodies to directly confront heavenly artifacts.

That ferocious, fearless aura, born solely for destruction, hardly resembles that of a supreme god.

They are clearly a group of ruthless outlaws who crawled out of the deepest recesses of hell, masters of slaughter!

This is hardly a war of gods!

[This is even more barbaric and vulgar than a street brawl!]

This is blasphemy against the person of God!

[Ye Lingtian, at the center of the battlefield, was like the most precise killing machine, embodying the word "pure" to its extreme.]

With each swing of His sword of slaughter, He precisely reaped the eternal life of a true God of Heaven.

But He does not covet these divine resources that are priceless in the eyes of ordinary gods.

In Ye Lingtian's eyes, the divine fire, fragments of divine essence, remains of divine bodies, and even shattered divine kingdoms left behind by those fallen true gods were pathways for his comrades to become stronger.

For Ye Lingtian, the core of improving his killing rules lay in the unique essence of killing he captured in the instant he slew a true god.

[That sudden burst of the will to die, the ultimate fear of death, the desperate lament of collapsing faith.]

These intangible insights are the most brilliant stars in His universe of rules.

As for those tangible divine resources?

Yes, it's the icing on the cake.

No, and it's not a big deal; it just means His path of slaughter has one less stepping stone.

Therefore, when Ye Lingtian saw that the True Gods of the Red Heart Society who arrived later had already stabilized their realms and urgently needed resources to accelerate their growth, he displayed unexpected generosity.

Like a ruthless battlefield scavenger, He casually tossed the floating divine fire, fragments of divine essence, and remnants of divine kingdoms, as if discarding trash, to His newly joined comrades in the battle.

[How can one's own slow and leisurely cultivation and enlightenment compare to the speed of freely using divine resources?]

As for the will of those three great worlds that were restrained by the bug in the Heart Demon God Card?

At this moment, the will of the spirit realm is still having its very essence and authority "frantically stolen" by a certain cosmic god.

The will of the abyss is busy fighting to the death with the spirit realm, while the will of hell is happy to stir up trouble at the negotiating table.

How could they possibly have the extra energy to care about the lives of these ants in the heavenly pantheon?

The Abyss and Hell would love for the complete annihilation of the Heavenly pantheon, while the Spirit Realm doesn't care at all.

[It's just faith in the true God!]

As long as living beings exist, and as long as there are enough living beings, can't we have as many of these as we need?

The gods within the spirit realm did receive a desperate plea for help from the heavenly pantheon, but they were powerless to do so.

After all, the sinister smile of the Abyss Demon God and the insidious obstruction of the Hell-based True Gods prevented them from providing immediate support.

[The God of War's will, sweeping across the battlefield, remained unmoved by the retreating Heavenly Pantheon and the successive destruction of its divine kingdoms; only a cold, resolute determination remained.]

Since the Heavenly Pantheon has attracted the main firepower of the True God of Rules, for the sake of the bigger picture, let them swallow this bitter pill!

I will bear all the blame!

Just like the other beings in the Heavenly Pantheon who sacrificed themselves for the greater good. (End of Chapter)
