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

[Regarding the serious issue of the rule-based divine oversight group—a matter that touches upon the very foundation of the Red Heart Society—you have already reached a conclusion in your heart.]

Shadow Guard, this sword and shield you forged yourself, walking in the shadows of civilization, must have its blade pointed at all those who wield great power.

[The Shadow Guard oversees the gods!]

[As for the Shadow Guards, because they are only responsible for you, you must personally supervise them.]

[In this situation, with you, the founder, personally overseeing the effort, ensure that this sword of rules hanging over the heads of the gods never rusts or loses its sharpness.]

[As long as your will still flows within the Shadow Guard's veins, as long as your gaze can still pierce through layers of mist to examine its actions.]

Therefore, at least for now, in this crucial era when the Red Heart Society stands tall amidst the Star Abyss, the Shadow Guard system will never spiral out of control.

Even if, in the distant future, this system may reveal its outdated drawbacks due to the dramatic shift in the status of the Red Heart Society or the impact of the changing times, that will be a very, very long time from now.

At that time, with the immense power and wisdom that the Red Heart Society will possess, it will naturally be able to calmly and easily adjust these outdated rules.

After all, the tides of time surge on relentlessly, without end.

[When the Red Heart Society's position in the global landscape shifts from a struggling challenger to a pivotal player and even a game maker.]

When a country's strength is sufficient to shake the foundations of the world, its external strategic policies and internal governance strategies must inevitably undergo adaptive changes.

This is an ironclad law of civilization's development, and also the source of the Chixin Society's enduring vitality.

[In March of the 516th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, as the divine oversight system within the Red Heart Society, personally steered by you, was rapidly expanding its vast network, the will of hell descended once more.]

This shrewd businessman from the chaotic camp had long since lost his usual composure and calculation; the message he conveyed was filled with the gunpowder smell of someone pushed to the edge of a cliff and a naked cry for help.

Although the mad dog of the Abyss Will was willing to sacrifice the complete destruction of the War Demon God to ignite the transcendent power of this top-tier demon god, allowing him to exchange everything for a fleeting moment.

[This temporarily stabilized the precarious defenses of the chaotic forces, and even temporarily thwarted the Spirit Realm's offensive.]

However, this period of good fortune was short-lived. After the spirit realm's will responded with a self-ignition card, resulting in a devastating defeat, it effectively neutralized the attack.

[In the same cruel way, the Lord of Hope was stripped of his authority, his divine body and divine essence ignited, transformed into a fleeting yet dazzling star of destruction, which crashed down upon the War Demon God controlled by the will of the abyss.]

Two transcendent forces collided violently on the cosmic battlefield, the resulting explosion powerful enough to dim the light of stars.

[In the end, the brief advantage gained by the War Demon God at the cost of complete annihilation was instantly reduced to nothingness by the Lord of Hope's suicidal burning attack.]

[The chaotic defenses are in dire need of attention again!]

[The Abyss Will, driven to the brink of despair, with its own power continuously dwindling and its trump card, the War Demon God, completely destroyed, has turned its greedy and insane gaze toward its ally.]

The will of the abyss, like chains studded with filthy spikes, tightly bound the core of the will of hell.

[He demanded that the will of Hell also lay bare its own coffers!]

Hand over the strongest, top-tier true god of the Hell system!

Let Him spontaneously combust!

[Let's also fight against the spirit world!]

[The Abyss's Will believes that if the Hell's Will does the same, given the increasingly brainless and foolish tendency of the Spirit Realm's Will to follow suit, it will definitely play its card immediately.]

He will continue to fill this gap with the top true gods under His command!

[As long as our two chaotic factions unite and continuously trade blows with Him, using the lives of top-tier true gods to wear Him down.]

Even the most abundant resources in His spiritual realm will eventually be depleted.

The scales of victory will surely tip back in our favor!

The Abyss's willful impulsiveness is pushing this divine war completely out of control.

[But how calculating is the Will of Hell?] [How could Hell possibly engage in a losing proposition like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of its own, or even killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of its own?]

The scenario that the will of hell truly desires to see is the abyss and the spirit world, these two colossal beasts, endlessly tearing each other apart until their last drop of blood is shed.

[While I, like the most patient vulture, observe the battlefield from the edge, preserving my strength and waiting for the opportunity to seize the final spoils of victory.]

Even though the flames of war inevitably reached the borders of Hell, He did His utmost to preserve His core strength as much as possible amidst this global chaos.

Because hell deeply understands a truth, a universal truth.

In the final negotiating table that determines the post-war order, who holds the most say has never been determined by how many sacrifices or how much blood was shed in the war.

[The real question is: when the war ends, how much real strength will you still possess that is enough to intimidate all rivals and suppress all forces?]

Power—only the power that remains is the eternal truth!

Therefore, under the constant pressure from the will of the abyss, and the double attack of the spirit realm's will's destructive invasion that disregarded its own losses, the will of hell was finally driven to a desperate situation.

He has descended again, hoping the Red Heart Society can lend a helping hand.

The situation is now extremely dire.

Only the intervention of external forces can possibly drive the mad spirit world back down.

Only this force, which has established itself in the Star Abyss, possesses three top-tier True Gods of Rules and hundreds of newly born deities, and has mastered the incredible Star Abyss modification technology, can buy Hell a chance to breathe.

The desire for help was so intense that, in this life-or-death crisis, the will of hell even went so far as to shed its former image as a calculating businessman and offered unprecedentedly tempting terms.

【The Red Heart Society!】

[As long as you are willing to send troops to support the Hell Front!]

All outstanding transaction fees and minor debts incurred in our previous transactions can be completely wiped clean by our Hell.

[I can even cooperate with you to mobilize the entire power of Hell and launch an unprecedented large-scale invasion of the spirit realm's heartland.]

I personally tore apart the barriers of the spirit realm's rules for you, guiding you to plunder its abundant and pure essence!

All I need is a chance to catch my breath!

[You raised an eyebrow as you listened to the conditions offered by the will of hell.]

[What kind of time is this? Why is Hell's Will still charging these transaction fees?]

Given the current state of the Abyss's Will, will it even give away the remaining essence?

Furthermore, the final condition proposed by the will of hell, while seemingly tempting, is actually fraught with danger.

If, at the crucial final moment, the Will of Hell were to withdraw and flee, the Red Heart Society, which had invaded the Spirit Realm, would have nowhere to run.

But you also have your own thoughts on the will of hell.

[In line with the desire for cultivation transfer conveyed by the gods of the spirit realm, and further aided by the favorable influence of the wills of the two great worlds, the will of the Abyss and the will of Hell.]

[This second round of the Red Heart Society's god-making plan, once completed, might just give the Red Heart Society power comparable to that of the Great World.]

[After all, Ye Lingtian, as one of the Red Heart Society's top combatants, will definitely be participating in the upcoming God War.]

If Ye Lingtian can slaughter another wave of True Gods in the upcoming battle, or even kill several top-tier True Gods, the insights gained from that slaughter might further enhance his power.

According to Ye Lingtian's prediction, if He takes that final step, perhaps the consequences of His self-ignition of His Origin can be eliminated.

[At that time, His life will no longer have this countdown!] (End of Chapter)
