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

[September of the 500th year of the Extraordinary Era, core area of ​​the Abyss Battlefield.]

[The War Demon God, completely controlled by the will of the abyss and reduced to a pure killing machine, reached an unprecedented peak of power.]

[His colossal divine body, tainted by the filthy demonic energy of the abyss, tore through space with every movement; the giant axe in his hand no longer unleashed battle intent, but rather a destructive torrent driven by the very essence of the abyss.]

The defenses meticulously constructed by the spirit realm proved as fragile as paper before this absolute power, which surpassed even the level of ordinary true gods.

One after another, the divine bodies of the spirit realm crumbled amidst desperate roars or silent horror, their divine essence wailing as it turned to dust.

Their divine army was like snowflakes thrown into a furnace, instantly vaporized.

The Spirit Realm's previously unstoppable and relentless offensive against the Chaos Faction was brutally and directly halted before this humanoid calamity, personally crafted by the Will of the Abyss.

The rhythm of the entire battlefield was completely disrupted, and the scales of victory, amidst the mad roar of the will of the abyss, emitted a piercing sound of reversal.

What does it mean to have combat power at the level of a transcendent being?

[The spirit realm's will is restrained by the combined forces of the will of the abyss and the will of hell in a higher-dimensional battlefield of wills, preventing it from personally intervening in the war on the material level.]

[Given that there is no being of equal caliber in the spirit realm capable of confronting it, the existence of the War Demon God is essentially a super weapon that has completely spiraled out of control on the mortal battlefield.]

[He is the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the spirit army, the ultimate nightmare tearing apart the picture of victory.]

[It is a truly unstoppable weapon of mass destruction!]

Under this suffocating and terrifying pressure, the strategic advantage that the Spirit Realm had gained at a tremendous cost, through countless bloody battles by true gods, began to crumble like a sandcastle.

The favorable situation began to reverse at a visible speed, and the dawn of victory was instantly shrouded in the clouds of despair.

[At the battlefield command center, the God of War, renowned for his flawless strategies and unwavering command, commands the gods of the spirit realm with his eyes tightly closed.]

Within His mind, the core of thought, constructed from countless intricate tactical runes, was now operating at an unprecedented speed, each deducing a chilling defeat.

Now that the situation has been turned upside down, He can no longer remain silent. His will, with unprecedented solemnity and urgency, directly knocks on the supreme barrier of consciousness of the spirit realm's will.

[A great will!]

[The battle situation is critical!]

If we cannot immediately find an entity of equal strength to intercept them, all our tactical intentions will be in vain.

Before His destructive power that transcends rules, any advance is a futile act of suicide.

Continuing the stalemate will only lead to increased losses and is utterly pointless!

I implore you, consider ending this war of gods!

The will of the God of War conveys a cruel reality and even foreshadows an even more terrifying future.

Even if we choose to retreat, we must immediately establish an unprecedentedly strong defense around the outer perimeter of the Spirit Realm.

The will of the abyss, controlling this single-use weapon that had burned out completely, would not allow it to perish in vain.

[Once a ceasefire is reached, He is highly likely to incite the War Demon God to launch a ruthless, suicide attack on the Spirit Realm's homeland, the resulting destruction of which will be incalculable.]

After all, letting a transcendent being burn to ashes without achieving anything would be a huge loss for the Abyss!

[The vast and boundless core of the spirit realm's will fell into a brief silence after receiving the report from the God of War, a report filled with frustration and a sense of crisis.]

Countless chaotic thoughts vibrated like cosmic strings, causing Him to feel a sense of regret.

The Lord of Death died a little too soon.

I didn't manage the time for my own accounting well.

[Before the war of gods is concluded, I should have waited until everything was over before taking action.]

[During his contemplation, He deeply felt that his decision to use the Orderly Thunder to obliterate the Lord of Death, who had plotted against the Lord of Wisdom, in his rage might have been a grave strategic blunder.]

Although the Lord of Death harbors ulterior motives, his powerful authority over death and transcendent strength remain firmly within the spiritual realm's system.

As long as the absolute authority of the spirit realm's will remains, the Lord of Death must obey any command issued!

[If He were still alive, with His terrifying power to control death and annihilate life, He could absolutely confront and even suppress this war demon's body, currently controlled by the abyss.] [He would be the perfect fire extinguisher on the battlefield right now!]

【well! 】

A sigh, barely perceptible to the level of will, echoed deep within the spirit world's origins, but belated regret was utterly useless.

But torment is merely a ripple of emotion; within the core of the spirit realm's will, composed of absolute reason and the laws of order, it lasts only a fleeting moment.

The next moment, emotions vanished, and reason prevailed.

[The will of the spirit realm already had its own ideas in mind.]

No refunds allowed!

The reasons given by the spirit realm's will are clear and ruthless: the abyss and hell have been successfully penetrated into the core territory of the spirit realm, establishing a crucial forward base.

Retreating now would mean all our previous efforts were in vain!

[Any attempt to break through the Chaotic Faction's defenses and extend the war to their core area in the future will inevitably come at a cost tenfold or even a hundredfold.]

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

[The will of the spirit realm instantly abandoned all weakness and hesitation, and began to fully utilize its supreme wisdom to seek a solution to the impasse.]

[He didn't even reveal his thoughts to the God of War who had just offered a reasonable suggestion. In the eyes of the Supreme Will, subordinates only needed to execute orders and didn't need to participate in decision-making; He felt that He didn't need any form of consultation.]

Within the highly efficient thought process of the military genius, over a dozen highly feasible flanking strategies were being rapidly devised.

[This includes, but is not limited to, temporarily halting the offensive and concentrating forces to eliminate Hell's forward bases in order to isolate the Abyss.]

[They even attempted to lure the will of hell into turning against them with enormous profits, causing it to turn against the abyss.]

If these methods are employed, they might be able to break the terrifying stalemate brought about by the War Demon God.

But just as He was trying to explain these methods to the will of the spirit world, a sudden change occurred.

The actions of the spirit realm's will are far faster than the thoughts of the God of War.

He made an extremely cold-blooded decision, one that mirrored the will of the abyss.

[Take their own medicine against them!]

The immense and unparalleled source of order from the Spirit Realm's will, like a cascading silver river from the heavens, disregarded the barriers of space and planes, and with an irresistible, absolute will, forcefully descended upon an ancient and powerful being within the Spirit Realm's ranks.

Lord of Hope!

[This supreme true god of the spirit realm, who wielded core authority over the spark of civilization, the dawn of the future, and unwavering faith, suddenly trembled with a powerful divine shudder.]

His divine eyes, symbols of infinite possibility and vitality, were instantly filled with boundless horror and disbelief.

He could clearly hear the vast spiritual authority within him, like dry tinder thrown into a furnace, being forcibly ignited by a supreme external force.

The feeling was like having your soul roasted over an eternal fire.

He struggled, he cried out, he tried to understand why this divine oracle was so cruel.

But all resistance is futile under the absolute control of the spirit realm's will.

His divine body writhed in agony amidst the blazing white flames of his burning authority, and his soul uttered a silent lament.

[But just as the power of hope was ignited to its most intense peak, enough to unleash a brief moment of transcendental power, the absolute will of the spirit world descended!]

[The will of the spirit realm, also learning from the will of the abyss, forcibly took over the divine body and soul of the Lord of Hope.]

[This is the Spirit Realm's solution. Weren't the transcendent beings on the other side of the Abyss supposed to be difficult to deal with?]

Why not just have a transcendent being emerge in the spirit realm as well?

[Upon sensing what had transpired, the God of War's pupils dilated violently, his face filled with utter disbelief.] (End of Chapter)
