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

[In October of the 283rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the God of War, who was coordinating the gods of the Spirit Realm in their attack on the Abyss, was somewhat surprised.]

[Because He was astonished to discover that the Heavenly pantheon, which was initially at a complete disadvantage, was actually able to turn the tide.]

[Especially in the divine realm where the Lord of Light resides, a terrifying radiance of faith erupted, far surpassing any previous historical peak.]

The intensity of that light even briefly suppressed Ye Lingtian's invincible Killing God Domain.

[The Lord of Radiance, on the verge of despair, had clearly abandoned all restraint, squeezing out every last ounce of faith's potential, burning with the last hope of the entire Heavenly pantheon and the desperate prayers of its believers, forcefully pushing his power to an unprecedented peak.]

The forbidden weapon in His hand, a symbol of the authority of Heaven, carried a power that shook the entire star field with every swing, forcing even the God of Slaughter, renowned for his ruthless methods, to temporarily retreat and fall into a disadvantageous position in a pure clash of power!

Between life and death lies both immense terror and immense opportunity!

A chilling感慨 (gan3 kai3, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection) swept through the God of War's mind. He had to admit that the potential unleashed by this long-established true god under the pressure of impending doom was truly remarkable.

The level of power that the Lord of Radiance is currently displaying even surpasses His previous understanding.

[If the Heavenly pantheon weren't on the verge of collapse, He would have loved to immediately transfer this old comrade who had suddenly surged into power to the front lines, using this newfound strength to breach the abyss's strongest defenses.]

【well! 】

What exactly is the true god's purpose in implementing these unpredictable rules?

Why not fight the chaotic Abyss and Hell factions instead of focusing on the Heavenly Pantheon?

This strategic choice is utterly baffling!

In February of the 287th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, more and more gods of the spirit realm began to allocate a portion of their divine thoughts to the rear battlefield, which was originally thought to be largely settled.

[Because they were astonished to discover that the heavenly pantheon, under the leadership of the Radiant Lord, had actually turned the tide.]

[Not only did they stabilize the battle lines, but they even began to suppress Ye Lingtian and the True Gods of Rules who came to their aid.]

This discovery stirred ripples in the hearts of the gods, and various speculations began to spread.

Is the true godhood based on rules a kind of explosive, unconventional path to godhood?

[Initially displaying dazzling brilliance and unstoppable momentum, but lacking staying power, will it eventually show signs of fatigue?]

Yes!

The world values ​​balance!

The powerful God of authority attacks fiercely but is constrained by its own origin; the God of faith defends resiliently but relies on believers.

How could a true god of rules possibly be both free and unrestrained, possess unparalleled combat power, and have unlimited growth potential?

This completely violates the principles of balance!

If it were truly so perfect and flawless, who would choose to walk the restrictive path of divine authority?

This seemingly reasonable deduction relieved many true gods in the spirit world, and even gave rise to a faint sense of disdain, as if the path of rules was nothing more than this.

But just as the gods of the spirit realm were beginning to lower their opinion of the True God of Rules, the battlefield situation underwent another subtle yet fatal shift.

[As Ye Lingtian and the True Gods of the Crimson Heart Society endured the increasingly ferocious attacks of the Lord of Radiance, the trajectory of their battle began to shift irreversibly.]

They fought and retreated, seemingly forced to retreat step by step by the counterattack of the Heavenly Pantheon. In reality, they were acting as the most ingenious bait, dragging the main force of the entire Heavenly Pantheon little by little towards the core battlefield where the Spirit Realm and the Abyss were fiercely clashing.

The war god's keen intuition, as sharp as the scales of war, immediately detected this anomaly.

His will, like a cold lightning bolt, instantly traversed endless star fields and struck the soul of the Lord of Radiance.

【Radiance!】

Stop moving immediately!

Hold your ground!

The war must not be brought to the main battlefield!

These true gods of rules have turned the heavenly pantheon upside down. Who knows what will happen after they arrive?

The current situation is chaotic enough.

If a third party gets involved, it will become utterly chaotic.

But this time, the response to the God of War was the roar of the Lord of Glory, filled with grief and indignation. [Fulfill the alliance?]

【joke!】

Where were your reinforcements when my divine pantheon wailed in despair, my divine kingdom crumbled, and my millions of believers turned to ashes?

Where is your covenant now?

Now you want to use an alliance to bind me?

[Military God, put away your cold-blooded scheming!]

Our Heavenly Pantheon excels at using holy light to enlighten all beings, but we never accept being enlightened ourselves.

If you want us to be cannon fodder to draw enemy fire, then be prepared to be devoured by them!

Today, it's either we live together, or we drag the entire spirit world down with us!

These words, in the eyes of the God of War, ignited the last vestiges of defiance and madness within the Heavenly pantheon.

[Under the cold command of the God of War, the Lord of Glory not only did not stop, but instead propelled his ravaged yet still glorious divine kingdom, imbued with a death-defying will, towards the heart of the war-torn region at an even greater speed.]

[In August of the 295th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the tragic advance of the Heavenly Pantheon is about to collide with the destructive torrent of the main battlefield!]

At the same time that the Heavenly Pantheon rushed towards the main battlefield like moths to a flame, within the Red Heart Society's highest research institute, buried deep within a dimensional rift, a technological storm no less significant than the victory of the divine war was unfolding.

A research report marked "Breakthrough to the End" was handed to the highest decision-making ring by the chief scientist of the Primal Particle Research Department, his hand trembling slightly.

The core content of the report is enough to overturn the war landscape of the Red Heart Society and even the entire universe.

After a long period of repeated experiments, simulations, and countless failures, the research institute finally and completely opened up the ultimate energy conversion channel between primordial particles and the core energy crystal of the divine military weapon.

This means that the value of the primordial particles—the forbidden substance containing the mysteries of life's origin, which can only be painstakingly extracted from the bodies of ninth-level or even demigod-level powerhouses—has undergone a tremendous change.

[Previously it could only be considered a treatment drug, but now it can be regarded as a brand-new, super energy crystal material with unlimited potential.]

[The chief scientist's eyes, bloodshot from long-term overwork, burned with an almost fanatical flame of excitement; his voice was hoarse with emotion during the presentation.]

Everyone!

We've made a breakthrough!

[Not only did they break through the transformation barrier, but they also discovered the super-frequency catalytic effect of primordial particles on the existing second-generation divine power military energy crystal matrix.]

[After extreme testing, the new energy crystal, transformed from high-purity primordial particles, has an energy density thirty-seven times that of the highest-grade energy crystal currently available!]

[Stability improved by 500%!]

With that, he took a deep breath and, with all his might, uttered the prophecy that made everyone present's hearts stop.

The energy crystal bottleneck that previously limited the power of second-generation military weapons has been eliminated.

[Given sufficient resources, we are fully capable of designing and constructing third-generation divine military forces powerful enough to directly confront, or even annihilate, the first-tier true gods!]

Imagine the cataclysmic scene!

[No longer relying on the immense power of an individual true god, but rather on that cold, efficient, and indifferent-to-individual-willed steel creation that represents the collective wisdom of the Red Heart Society.]

[Like colossal cannons stretching across the galaxy, their muzzles condensed from countless primordial particles—a destructive torrent powerful enough to tear apart the fundamental laws of the universe!]

[Even the ancient gods of the first tier, pointed at by this cannon, will tremble and fall before this pure, industrialized aesthetic of violence!]

Cheer!

From this day forward, this world will no longer belong to the true god, but to the age of civilization!

The allure of civilization will shine from this moment on!

The fruits of technological advancement are about to fully blossom!

The report was shocking, but upon receiving the news, Aglios and the others all broke into smiles.

[With such a significant breakthrough from Chixin Technology, how could this not be exciting?] (End of Chapter)
