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

In July of the 308th year of the mortal calendar, this cosmic battlefield, stained with divine blood, welcomed an uninvited guest.

The crimson avatar of the Will of Hell, like the most astute broker, silently passed through the suffocatingly sharp aura surrounding Ye Lingtian's God of Slaughter Domain and appeared before this God of Slaughter.

[He went forth carrying the weight of the abyss's will, a plea for help filled with humiliation and urgency.]

Of course, the Will of Hell took on this hot potato not out of any brotherhood among those in a chaotic faction, but purely because it smelled a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to profit from both sides.

[He offered no feigned politeness; his crimson will flashed with a nakedly transactional light as he spoke directly to Ye Lingtian.]

[Lord Ye Lingtian, the Abyss is on the verge of collapse and urgently needs your power to tear open the iron wall of the Spirit Realm.]

This is a great deal!

Please state your terms and conditions.

Whether it's the treasures of the abyss, the privileges of His original realm, or the eternal exile of certain specific beings.

We can even discuss what you want me to do in hell.

Remember, this opportunity to make the abyss bow down and beg for help is comparable to the reversal of the flow of stars.

This is a golden opportunity, don't miss it!

Don't be afraid to ask for a higher price!

Regardless of whether your asking price today is fair or outrageous, once that mad dog of the Abyss recovers, it will hate you to the core.

Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to gain more tangible benefits and strengthen ourselves?

You agree, isn't that right?

Ye Lingtian: "."

Upon hearing these words, the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Even having witnessed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and been accustomed to the most absurd and bizarre sights in the universe, the scene before him still somewhat exceeded his expectations.

The bizarre opening scene—the Hellish Will transforming into a top-notch broker, personally teaching him how to blackmail another Great World Will—truly shattered his understanding of the world.

He remained silent, his eyes, as cold as a frozen sea of ​​blood, calmly watching the shifting crimson light and shadow of the will of hell, as if reassessing just how low the moral boundaries of this chaotic ally could possibly go.

However, as everyone knows, the will of hell has no morality.

After a moment, Ye Lingtian spoke.

[Hell, if I set conditions, will you add an extra commission for yourself on top of my conditions?]

Or perhaps it's a transaction fee?

【Tsk! 】

The light of Hell's Will suddenly intensified, carrying a hint of cunning—a glint of slyness at being exposed yet showing no remorse.

"Lord Ye Lingtian, those words are quite damaging to our relationship."

In this deal that concerns the life and death of that old madman in the abyss, you are the true client.

I'm just a small service provider, insignificant.

Feel free to open your mouth and express whatever you desire.

My duty is to ensure that your demands are met by the Abyss without fail.

[As for how the process works?]

What will be the cost?

How did I open my mouth to the abyss?

【hehe! 】

You only need to see that the final result fully meets your expectations; why worry about the twists and turns and costs involved?

After all, your request has been fulfilled, and that's the core issue, isn't it?

[The will of hell disguises the blatant middleman profiteering in a respectable way, practically saying we each earn our own share. Isn't that better?]

Faced with the Hell's Will's unyielding, yet frankly unconvincing nature, Ye Lingtian chuckled.

[It must be said, the will of hell is right.]

[As long as his demands, or rather the conditions of the Red Heart Society, are met, why should I care so much?]

If the will of hell can seize this opportunity to strike hard, that will be a testament to its power.

However, instead of immediately responding to the allure of Hell's will, he relayed back this bizarre proposal for a Hell-based Abyss support service, along with Hell's will's well-intentioned suggestion to drain the Abyss's coffers.

[Through the deepest, most secret, and most steadfast link of faith within your soul, it was delivered directly to you, the founder.]

After a moment's thought, you've made your decision.

[There is only one core condition: the origin of power in the Great World!]

[And it's the very essence of the Abyss!] [A ridiculous demand, directly asking for fifty portions of the Abyss Authority Essence, enough to support a powerful individual in achieving the status of a True God of Rules.]

This is the starting bid, leaving room for the Abyss to negotiate. It's impossible for Him to agree to such an astronomical figure, but it's a necessary negotiation tactic.

After all, you know the other party very well; the credibility of the Abyss's Will is negative infinity.

Regardless of how many contracts are ultimately agreed upon, he will only pay the first so-called deposit, and will inevitably default on subsequent payments.

Therefore, this deposit must be substantial enough to at least meet our minimum essential requirements.

[Five complete copies of the Abyss Origin, which can be directly used to shape the true god of rules.]

[Besides, the so-called rare treasures and territorial privileges of the Abyss are not necessary for the Red Heart Society, and there is no need to waste this precious opportunity.]

Your command was executed by Ye Lingtian to the fullest extent.

At the same time, Ye Lingtian also used another crucial element of the Red Heart Society's strategic blueprint as a condition.

[Hell, besides its origin, has one additional condition that is non-negotiable.]

[During his intervention to support the Abyss, the Abyss's will must use all its authority and power to ensure the absolute safety of all Red Heart Society members outside the Spirit Realm who are still in the sacrificial transformation state, both personally and in their sacrificial rituals.]

[The Abyss's will must unconditionally, promptly, and efficiently intercept any direct annihilation from the spirit realm's will, any sneak attacks from other true gods, or any form of interference with the rules.]

This is a prerequisite for the transaction to be completed!

This demand strikes at the heart of the Red Heart Society!

Since the launch of the God-Making Project, more than twenty true gods of the rules have been successfully born, drawing worldwide attention.

However, the number of elite members of the Red Heart Society who performed the ceremony far exceeded this.

The vast majority of people are still in that long, perilous process of sacrifice, a process of separation from their own source of authority and integration with the new rules.

The pillar of light protecting them, a supreme rule, is both a spark of hope and the most conspicuous target on the battlefield.

The longer the process drags on, the lower the probability of success becomes.

[But as long as that protective light, representing the approval of the universe's underlying laws, remains unextinguished, it symbolizes that infinite possibilities have not been severed.]

[The efficiency and success rate of igniting the divine fire through a deification ceremony far surpasses that of an individual seeking solitary success in a vast labyrinth of rules.]

As Ye Lingtian presented these two core conditions, the crimson light of the Will of Hell instantly flashed intensely, like a supernova explosion.

Meanwhile, deep within the Red Heart Society's absolute fortress constructed of dimensional technology, your thoughts are already racing towards a grander vision of the future.

The first wave of the god-making project has proven its disruptive value with iron and blood, while the grand blueprint for the second wave is gradually taking shape in your quantum deduction with the rule engineers at the research institute.

This time, the target is no longer a rule-based true god that is difficult to mass-produce, but a faith-based true god that can be replicated on a large scale.

[In the previous timeline, the core secret technique and soul firewall architecture by which the resistance leader miraculously maintained free will after becoming a god through faith had already been dissected by the masters of technique deconstruction at the Red Heart Research Institute, as if they were butchers dissecting an ox.]

After countless iterations of optimization and supercomputing simulations, the Crimson Heart Ninth Generation Derivation System, combined with trillions of soul fluctuation experiments, has patched up most of the known vulnerabilities in the faith-based path to divinity.

With the assistance of all masters of the Red Heart Society, a revolutionary technical overhaul and powerful suppression of the faith-based path to deification was carried out.

Although the birth of divine will cannot be eradicated at its root, based on the latest will firewall model...

[As long as the person who becomes a god does not suffer a devastating blow from the rules that causes their core will to collapse, or their soul is not completely overwhelmed by a tsunami of extreme negative emotions or contamination from a higher level of being.]

[Therefore, its core ego-will is fully capable of constructing an absolute mental barrier, suppressing the accompanying divine will into a deep slumber or an extremely weak and harmless state for a long period of time.]

This means that the ancient path of faith in God, once considered by the Red Heart Society to be fraught with the risk of enslavement, is about to transform into the Red Heart Society's second deification project—a process of mass promotion for its members—with the powerful intervention and empowerment of cutting-edge technology.

[The dual-track system of creating gods—where the true gods of rules and faith advance side by side, supporting each other and forming a perfect hierarchy of combat power—is being forged in the futuristic strategic crucible of the Red Heart Society, forging a sharpness that can shake the universe.]

In June of the 310th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after several rounds of discussions among the high-ranking members of the Red Heart Society, a densely packed list of demands was submitted.

In any case, most of these requirements are trivial matters for the Will of the Abyss.

The Will of Hell is right: strike while the abyss is sick, and take its life!

Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another.

Actually, this matter was finalized a long time ago.

After all, the Will of Hell wasn't the main party in the negotiations; it was merely a third party.

However, the Will of Hell, considering the Will of the Abyss's perspective, believed that if the exchange between the two sides were too simple, the Will of the Abyss might perceive that Ye Lingtian intended to provide support.

Therefore, it's best to postpone it.

[Let the gods of the spirit realm wreak havoc in the abyss first, so that the will of the abyss will realize its own powerlessness.]

In this situation, the support from Ye Lingtian and the True God of Rules becomes extremely important.

The Red Heart Society has accepted the ideas of the Will of Hell and is fully cooperating with them.

After all, in this entire universe, the Will of Hell undoubtedly understands the Will of the Abyss best.

Therefore, the most ruthless force within the abyss will will inevitably be the will of hell. (End of Chapter)
