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

Now, you have broken free from the shackles of authority, become the true god of freedom and rules, and have returned here.

Li Yunhai's gaze swept over the hidden stronghold deep within the Star Abyss Land, faintly visible and emanating the aura of numerous True Gods of Rules.

I think perhaps we can get to know each other again here.

Regarding the question of whether the God of Flames would join the Red Heart Society, Li Yunhai already had a decision in mind.

He deeply understood the nature of all living beings in the universe, especially those with independent will and emotions; the instinct to huddle together for warmth was ingrained in their very souls.

Looking around, almost all the true gods of the universe are gathered under the banner of the Red Heart Society.

When the Crimson Heart Society displays power and potential sufficient to make even the Great World's Will wary, how could the newly ascended True God of Rules, Blazing Flame, who has lost all protection, just gained freedom, yet is now isolated and helpless, not feel intense curiosity?

How could one not investigate this organization's philosophy, strength, and future?

Li Yunhai was even more convinced that, given the Flame God's almost obsessive pursuit of power and formidable techniques, he would inevitably come to the Red Heart Society.

Most importantly, it is not impossible for Him to absorb the resonant ideals He occasionally revealed in the past, once He truly understands the ideals pursued by the Red Heart Society.

Furthermore, the current state of the Red Heart Society is vastly different from what it once was!

It is no longer the fledgling force that needed to be cautious and survive in the cracks.

Dozens of True Gods of the Rules, radiating immense power and unrestrained by the will of any great world, stood like pillars of strength atop the starry barrier of the Crimson Heart World.

This convergence of power is enough to deter any potential entrant.

Even if a few newly joined "True Gods" harbor ill intentions, in the face of such a powerful collective will and absolute strength, any attempt to disrupt them is destined to be futile, like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Of course, the Red Heart Society will not open its doors without any limits.

The primary criteria for acceptance are alignment of will and agreement on the path taken.

As for the God of Flames?

His existence is somewhat special.

Even now, He is still weighing the pros and cons and has not yet officially joined.

However, everyone in the upper echelons of the Red Heart Society knew perfectly well that His joining was only a matter of time.

[This God of Flames, after enduring a series of calamities including suppression from the spirit realm, the destruction of his divine lineage, the stripping of his authority, the perils of his cultivation transition, and even the personal annihilation by the will of the spirit realm, has finally been reborn from the ashes and successfully stepped into the realm of a true god of rules.]

This is a significant milestone for both sides.

At this moment, the Flame God's golden eyes, pulsating with pure flames of law, gazed intently at Li Yunhai, who had come to guide them on behalf of the Crimson Heart Society. His eyes churned with complex and unfathomable emotions.

He knew that he was just another fish caught in the crossfire of the Red Heart Society's god-making frenzy sweeping the world.

But Li Yunhai's answer left Him speechless.

In this earth-shattering game where the universe is the chessboard and all living beings are the pieces, the Red Heart Society not only did not sacrifice Him, but instead used the chaotic storm sweeping through the spirit world to pave a path for Him to survive and transform into a cultivator.

Even at the very last moment when the Spirit Realm's will unleashed its world-destroying divine punishment, it was the Red Heart Society that summoned the Abyss's Will, the least likely to intervene, to shield Him from that fatal blow.

The God of Flames was fully aware of this favor, and the underlying morality within this scheme.

[Thinking to himself, the God of Flames' eyes gleamed.]

[The true God of authority and the true God of faith, whose divine will governs all.]

When divinity suppresses humanity, it's not surprising that all sorts of things happen.

[And regarding this pantheon established by the true god of rules, He also wanted to see what kind of storm a new group of gods, who had taken control of their own humanity, could stir up.]

In September of the 346th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the balance of power on the Abyss Battlefield tilted decisively under Ye Lingtian's frenzied swing.

The Abyss Demons, having received powerful reinforcements, were greatly encouraged and, as if injected with adrenaline, rallied from their slump.

[They, in coordination with Ye Lingtian's all-pervasive, ruthless, and efficient slaughter, forcefully drove out the true gods of the spirit realm who had intruded into the core origin region of the abyss and were greedily sucking the blood and flesh of the abyss.]

[These true gods of the spirit realm, who had reaped considerable gains in the core area, unleashed their pent-up anger and frustration upon escaping danger towards the Heavenly pantheon.]

【waste! 】

[A bunch of useless trash!]

[They can't even hold back Ye Lingtian!]

Let Him run to the rear and wreak havoc!

As for the claim that the Heavenly Pantheon is on the verge of collapse?

The gods of the spirit world are not even mentioned!

[If the pantheon of gods were at its peak, they probably wouldn't dare speak like this.]

But who can blame them when the current pantheon of Heaven is nearly reduced to ruins?

Therefore, even individuals in the second tier of true gods at this stage dare to criticize the Heavenly pantheon.

While all the other pantheons were adding insult to injury and criticizing Heaven for its deep contemplation, only the Titan pantheon stood aside, calmly observing the situation.

The Titans also harbor hatred towards the Heavenly pantheon.

[It was only the Titans' pride that prevented them from doing something as cruel as kicking someone when they're down.]

Meanwhile, the gods of the spirit realm were seething with hatred for Ye Lingtian's betrayal, their divine thoughts crackling with rage and bewilderment. [This is utterly absurd!]

【This is absolutely absurd!】

An ancient spirit god roared in fury, and terrifying divine power erupted around him.

【Ye Lingtian!】

[You, the true gods of the rules, possess pure and flawless power, your aura upright and boundless, utterly devoid of the filth and treachery of the abyss and hell.]

You were born to be pillars of my Order!

Your divine fire was ignited by sacrificing the very source of my spiritual authority!

Your foundations are deeply rooted in the fertile soil of my spiritual realm! Is this not a natural alliance?

Why should we aid and abet evil, helping that chaotic mad dog of the abyss to tear us apart?

In their deeply ingrained concept of factions, the actions of Ye Lingtian and other True Gods of Rules were tantamount to traitors within their own ranks, a blatant act of betrayal.

If you covet divine resources, the abyss is now wide open, and the source is like a spring without a master.

[You are all welcome to go and rob it yourselves!]

Why must you become an enemy of my spirit world?

Faced with the furious questioning from the spirit realm gods, a question brimming with factional logic, Ye Lingtian's eyes, filled with pure bloodlust, remained completely unmoved.

What kind of bullshit factional logic is this?!

His allegiance will only be the Red Heart Society!

Everything else is utter nonsense!

Currently, his attention is firmly locked onto several figures emerging from the abyss rift.

Those were several True Gods of the first tier of the Spirit Realm, their auras as deep as the sea, their bodies shrouded in an ancient and weathered charm.

It was they who, in the previous timeline, personally drove Ye Lingtian to the brink of destruction, ultimately leading to his demise.

A chilling killing intent, like a volcano dormant for millennia, erupted suddenly within Ye Lingtian.

This time, he will personally avenge himself.

[In April of the 350th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, this day is destined to be etched on the historical monument of the Red Heart Society, becoming an eternally glorious chapter.]

[The essence of authority paid by the will of the abyss is enough to pave a broad road to the pinnacle of the true gods of rules.]

[These fifty origins are like fifty seeds of the universe, each containing infinite possibilities.]

A grand and unprecedented ceremony to confer titles upon the origin of civilization was solemnly commenced in the highest political hall of the Red Heart World.

You sit enthroned on the throne symbolizing the founder, your voice resonating in the hearts of every devoted citizen through quantum communication that spans the entire civilization.

These fifty portions of the Abyss Origin were obtained through the bloodshed of comrades and the strategic planning of wise men.

This is not a gift, but a crown jewel of merit!

[The Red Heart Ninth Generation Derivation Center has been activated, and will conduct a comprehensive and thorough scan of the achievements of all members based on the Red Heart Merit Points system.]

Those who have made outstanding contributions, regardless of their background or rank, can all obtain this foundation for godhood!

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire world of Chixin erupted in excitement.

The immense computing power of the Red Heart 9th Generation instantly covered every corner, from the lowest-level logistics and production units to the front-line battle fortresses.

Countless data streams converge, encompassing battlefield kill records, contributions to scientific breakthroughs, strategic decision-making value, efforts in civilization construction, and even daily moral conduct points.

[Analyze, compare, weight, and sort.]

The entire process, including list generation, was completed almost instantly.

As those fifty gleaming names lit up on the enormous holographic star map, countless fervent gazes, both inside and outside the hall, were filled with excitement, envy, and utmost respect.

For the vast Red Heart Society, selecting fifty individuals of exceptional merit would be far too easy.

Normally, the bestowal of such divine positions should reserve several, or even a dozen, individuals for future rewards.

After all, the Red Heart Society is powerful this time, and it will inevitably continue to exert its influence for a long time.

Those who haven't yet achieved their full merit may still be able to surpass them.

However, the situation is not optimistic now.

Once the war of the gods and the chaos end, the will of the abyss will discover that the abyss's essence has not been used, and will inevitably descend to seize it.

After all, the current Red Heart Society is still too weak to face a behemoth like the Will of the Abyss.

【therefore!】

The Red Heart Society now has only one thing to do: desperately develop its power and become stronger!

[So powerful that the Crimson Heart Society can help the Will of Hell overcome the Abyss!] (End of Chapter)
