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

Compared to their own breakthroughs in cultivation levels, the gods of the Red Heart Society are more interested in witnessing technological advancements in divine military weaponry.

This is not a disregard for individual strength, but rather stems from a clear understanding of the path forward for civilization!

Even if someone is a prodigy, advancing rapidly to the second tier, or even touching the threshold of the legendary first tier of true geniuses, what then?

The strength of an individual ultimately has its limits!

[In the previous timeline, the bloody lessons served as a constant warning.]

Even someone as powerful as Ye Lingtian, who burned his entire being with the peak power of the first tier, ultimately perished tragically under the relentless siege of the gods of the spirit realm, turning into dust in the sea of ​​stars.

The brilliance of an individual cannot create a sky that can dominate the entire world for the Red Heart Society civilization!

However, if a truly divine military force comparable to the top-tier gods could be created, the situation would be entirely different.

Technology represents the ultimate productive force that can be replicated and mass-produced!

Once the core technology and manufacturing process overcome bottlenecks, the first divine weapon powerful enough to slay ancient beings will be successfully forged.

[Then, inevitably, a second, a third, and so on, will follow, until a steel torrent that terrifies all the heavens and myriad realms.]

Imagine hundreds, even thousands, of third-generation divine warriors arrayed in the sea of ​​stars, their cannons locking onto a destructive torrent that converges into a river—that would be the ultimate judgment of civilization's will upon the power of individuals.

Even those ancient beings deep within the spirit realm, who have slumbered for billions of years and regard ordinary true gods as ants, can only meet their demise before this massive, technologically advanced, and brute-force civilization.

How can the divine brilliance of an individual contend with the might of a civilization that has ascended to the throne of technological supremacy and industrialized the power of destruction?

If the Red Heart Society can truly reach such a height, perhaps it can seize this opportunity to completely break through the shackles of life levels, leaping from a transcendent civilization of nine revolutions to the legendary ultimate form of complete godhood.

[True God Civilization!]

What a magnificent and exhilarating future that would be!

The mere thought of that unified, divine will, sweeping across the universe, is enough to ignite the passion of every member of the Red Heart Society.

In June of the 302nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, this divine war that swept across the heavens finally reached a crucial turning point.

Under the unprecedented focused support of the spirit realm's will and the god of war's almost artistic war strategy, the abyss's defenses, constructed from countless demon fortresses and demon god kingdoms, shattered with a deafening roar.

In an instant, the gods of the spirit realm, who had been poised for battle, launched a full-scale attack under the command of the God of War, whose resounding fighting spirit echoed throughout the universe.

The gods of the spirit realm, leading their vast legions of heroic spirits, elemental armies, and knights of faith—a force as boundless as a galaxy—marched into the chaotic and filthy heart of the abyss, roaring with greed and destruction.

A bloody campaign to plunder the resources accumulated over billions of years in the abyss has officially begun.

Although the spirit realm itself is rich in resources, it is far wealthier than the abyss.

However, for high-grade extraordinary minerals, rare demonic metals that can only be refined in the core furnace of the abyss, and divine crystals that are crucial for the advancement of true gods and the maintenance of their divine kingdoms, no deity can ever have too much.

Moreover, what lies before us, with its open gates, is a vast underground treasure trove, accumulated over countless years by the chaotic source of the Abyss, a veritable cosmic treasure trove.

In the long struggles that have lasted for tens of thousands of years in the past, the gods of the spirit realm have rarely had such an excellent opportunity as today, where their own will is fully supported and the enemy's will is severely damaged.

Opportunities to delve deep into the abyss and plunder with impunity are extremely rare, if not unprecedented.

After all, the patriarch of the spirit realm's will spends most of its time in a deep sleep, unable to provide substantial power support to the gods fighting on the front lines.

Even when it occasionally awakens, its thoughts are often chaotic and unpredictable, filled with unpredictable micromanagement, frequently plunging the gods into deeper predicaments, making it utterly unable to coordinate with the intentions of the soldiers on the front lines.

Unlike these past few years?

[The will of the spirit realm, stimulated and suppressed from various aspects, is being guided by the most powerful will of the universe to continuously advance on the right path.]

[Attack the abyss with an unprecedented level of seriousness.]

This time, instead of hindering progress or giving misguided commands, they poured their immense power without reservation and precisely into every spirit deity and warrior, providing positive blessings.

[This ebbs and flows!]

The resulting increase in combat power was far more than a simple addition of one; it produced a terrifying exponential leap.

Every true god in the spirit realm clearly felt that this chaotic abyss was opening its arms to them like never before.

Perhaps in this divine war destined to be recorded in history, every participant will be able to reap rich spoils that will make their own divinity tremble!

In January of the 306th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the relatively peaceful star field behind the Spirit Realm was torn apart by a sudden, destructive storm.

The protracted and brutal divine war between Ye Lingtian and the Heavenly God System ceased its transfer upon reaching its destination.

[Its core battlefield, under the relentless pursuit of the Lord of Radiance at all costs and the strange pull of Ye Lingtian's fighting-and-retreating maneuver, was forcibly shifted to the rear of the main force of the Spirit Realm gods.]

Despite the reversal and rise of the Radiant Lord, the Guantian pantheon still maintains its dominance over Ye Lingtian and his Red Heart Society allies.

However, each clash of divine spells and each collision of rules unleashed terrifying energy shockwaves that spread wildly through the void like ripples of death, causing the defensive barriers of nearby planes to flicker unpredictably.

This terrified the spirits who were not on the front lines and whose defenses were relatively weak, causing their souls to tremble.

Putting aside everything else, the sheer power of a casual strike from Ye Lingtian and the Star Demon God is enough to terrify the gods of the Spirit Realm.

[If this were to strike the body of an ordinary true god, wouldn't it instantly shatter the god's body, dim the divine essence, and even leave it covered in bruises?]

Under these circumstances, the Abyss's will sensed the anomaly behind the Spirit Realm. It simultaneously used all its power to block the Spirit Realm's will while extending its own power towards it.

【Ye Lingtian!】

[The Rule-Killer!]

[Considering our past interactions and the fact that the Abyss has once aided you, I hope you can lead the new gods of the rules to support the Abyss's front lines!]

I need your strength!

I would be extremely grateful if you could come here.

Ye Lingtian looked at the Abyss, which had been incredibly powerful in the previous timeline, dominating both Hell and the Spirit Realm, but was now being utterly humiliated by the Spirit Realm.

They've all come to us for help.

The shock stemming from the passage of time, the realization that came from witnessing two different endings firsthand, reverberated in Ye Lingtian's mind.

This upheaval gave Ye Lingtian a new understanding of the rules of killing.

After all, spacetime encompasses everything, and naturally includes the rules of killing.

The shifts in time and space, the alteration of the butterfly effect, have caused a cataclysmic change in the universe, leading it towards the unknown.

After witnessing all of this with my own eyes, how could I not have some thoughts?

But despite his thoughts, he knew perfectly well what he should do at that moment.

If the Red Heart Society reaches its peak, it will inevitably have to fight a battle with the Abyss.

[Without a doubt!]

In a sense, wasn't the Red Heart Society of the previous timeline destroyed by the Abyss?

The will of the Great World does not want to see the rise of the Red Heart Society.

Therefore, faced with this plea for help tinged with old feelings, Ye Lingtian's response was as cold and direct as the killing sword in his hand.

[Leaving aside the interest chains of previous timelines, let's just talk about protecting the interests of this timeline.]

That was thanks to the will of hell; it had little to do with the will of the abyss.

In this chaotic and unpredictable time of war among gods, the best strategy is to take risks and wait for the right opportunity to sell.

Moreover, the Abyss Will's empty plea for help lacked any real sincerity; how could it expect the Crimson Heart Society to fill the bottomless pit of the Abyss?

Is being a "heartfelt" person a form of charity?

After the will of the abyss was rejected, the will of hell seemed to sense something and suddenly emerged.

He indicated that he could persuade Ye Lingtian and this group of new gods of rules.

My friend, Abyss, please be patient.

[To persuade Lord Ye Lingtian and these promising new gods of rules, such a simplistic and crude method is not appropriate.]

Different methods and different incentives should be used for different living beings.

Whether using coercion or enticement, the choice must be made based on the other party's personality and future career path.

The voice of the will of hell is full of temptation and suggestion, but its core meaning is cold and realistic.

However, my friend!

[You should understand that no matter what method I use to get Ye Lingtian to agree, the underlying interests are always involved.]

[It is absolutely impossible to get these proud and pragmatic true gods of rules to fight for the abyss without sufficiently weighty bargaining chips.]

Even I cannot conjure up the price they want out of thin air.

This means very simply: I'm here to help you with something, so you'll have to provide whatever the other party needs.

Afterwards, I still had to pay a heinous intermediary fee.

The will of the abyss fell silent, watching as the gods of the spirit realm invaded its body and began their destructive plunder.

Every day He wastes now requires a significant amount of time and resources to replenish its deficit.

Time is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

But right now, time is very important to Him!

A moment later, the will of the abyss responded.

[He was not good at conversation, so He thought the will of hell was right.]

[Let's leave these kinds of conversations and negotiations to the will of hell!] (End of Chapter)
