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

The chaotic faction has been suppressed for far too long, and has been trampled under the iron hooves of the spirit realm for far too long.

Now it's their turn to retaliate against the spirit world, returning this deep-seated hatred and humiliation with interest.

[Under the call of the two great world wills, the chaotic demons of the abyss tear at the shattered barriers of order, while the demons of hell defile the sacred temples with blasphemous runes.]

They were no longer content with simple defense or expulsion; they sought revenge.

We must reclaim, with interest, the blood shed over millions of years, the resources stolen, and the dignity shattered.

They wanted to smash their fists back hard against that eternally proud and indifferent face in the spirit world.

Every inch of lost territory reclaimed, every destroyed spirit temple, was accompanied by the deafening ecstasy and twisted roars of the chaotic creatures.

Just as the Spirit Realm's will was caught off guard by this sudden betrayal, its massive core of will struggling to defend against the counterattack from the Hell front, the flank harassment from the Abyss, and the loss of internal authority, its intelligence began to return.

[He immediately made the choice that best served his immediate interests: to tighten his defenses.]

In an instant, the runes of order flickered wildly at His core.

[Immediately afterwards, He forcefully suppressed His extreme rage at the offense, mobilizing all available power in an attempt to stabilize the core territory and construct an unbreakable Great Wall of Order.]

[He intends to trade space for time, blocking all military might, including the immense power unleashed by the will of the abyss and the will of hell, from reaching the core area.]

He never imagined that even the war god he trusted most would betray him.

But in this situation, any anger or annoyance is irrelevant.

The most important thing is to stabilize the situation first, preserve the advantages you currently possess, and then return to the spirit world to use all your strength to maintain these advantages.

Fortunately, the will of the spirit world is large enough that it can withstand these betrayals.

But just as the will of the spirit realm forcibly squeezed its own essence, another change occurred in the direction of Xingyuan.

Behind the Red Heart Society army, the massive star gate, stabilized by the power of the Star Demon God, once again erupted with dazzling light.

But this time, what surged forth was not the Red Heart Society's iconic powerful military fleet, but a terrifyingly large crowd of people.

Through hundreds of years of accumulation, the number of rule-based demigods within the Red Heart Society has reached an extremely exaggerated level.

Despite the numerous restrictions imposed on the second round of the God-Making Project by the Red Heart Society, and the various battles and struggles on a matter of will, in order to select the most suitable candidates for the God-Making Project.

Despite the already large pool of applicants, the number of people selected this time remains as large as ever.

[A dense array of rule-based demigods, like a silver torrent pouring from a star gate, stood silently and menacingly arrayed in the void at the border of the spirit realm.]

The aura emanating from them was powerful and complex, not merely the pure power of the Red Heart Society's rules, but rather carried an aura of true divine authority so dense it was almost palpable.

Some possess the abundance of a bountiful harvest, some the majesty of the law, and some the fiery passion of forging.

These unique marks of authority, which should have belonged to the gods of the spirit realm, were now imprinted like spoils of war deep within the souls of these Red Heart Society demigods.

Above this colossal legion of demigods, powerful enough to suffocate even a true god, the figure of the Heart Demon God, constructed from pure mental rules, floated silently.

His will is like an invisible net, covering the mind of every demigod, ensuring that they are not attacked by the will of the spirit world before the sacrifice.

[This scale, so familiar it was terrifying, this pervasive aura of spiritual authority, directly caused the will and emotions of the spiritual realm to churn.]

【grass! 】

Even the most composed and detached spirit realm will crumble upon seeing such a large number of demigods who govern the rules.

This is way too exaggerated!

[Damn it, just how much blood are the Red Heart Society planning to bleed from the Spirit Realm this time?]

[Are you trying to drain the spirit world dry in one go?]

【red! Heart! meeting! ! ! 】

The will of the spirit realm instantly emitted a silent yet piercing shriek powerful enough to tear through the void.

At that moment, all doubts were instantly resolved.

He finally understood why the holders of various powers within the realm had seemed distracted during this period, and why the rules governing some important planes had experienced subtle delays.

【I see! 】

The Red Heart Society, this wicked source of heresy in the rules, has audacious enough to use that damned method of rule transformation as bait to conduct a dirty power deal with the gods of the spirit realm under its command.

Those true gods who harbored ulterior motives used a portion, or even the core, of their control as tuition fees to bestow upon carefully selected demigod candidates of the Red Heart Society, instantly elevating them to demigods with authority over the spirit realm.

The Red Heart Society generously paid the tuition—the secret method that could free one from the shackles of the spirit world and lead to becoming a true god of rules. For the Red Heart Society, this was practically getting something for nothing.

[A large number of high-quality seeds, each containing its own sacrificial fuel, have been acquired out of thin air. With just a little guidance and resource investment, they can be ignited into gods in large quantities.]

For those rebellious true gods of the spirit world, since they have transformed into true gods of rules, their original authority in the spirit world has become like old clothes, and they feel no psychological burden in discarding it.

Trade your old clothes for a new future – a sure-fire way to make money.

And all of this comes at a price: all the losses, all the chaos, all the weakness.

It's all up to Him!

[The great will of the spirit world, borne alone!]

This was a complete and utter feast of plunder, directed against Him.

This is outrageous!

This is utterly outrageous deception!

Ants!

【traitor!】

The will of the spirit realm locked onto the densely packed legion of demigods below, who had not yet begun their sacrifice, and gathered a power of annihilation capable of instantly obliterating stars.

Although He knew that He would most likely fail.

But everything must be tried.

He will eradicate these malignant tumors from the universe before they grow into true gods of rules.

[But have they already been eyeing this covetously? Will the will of the abyss and the will of hell, which have been waiting for so long, allow it to have its way?]

[Haven't they held on until now, waiting for this very opportunity?]

[And at that moment, the roar of the Abyss's Will, filled with resentment and ecstatic ecstasy, resounded.]

【It's now! 】

【beat!】

The crimson chains of Hell's Will are already poised to strike; the golden opportunity to beat a drowning dog is right before us.

The filthy, chaotic tentacles of the abyss and the chains of contract from hell, wreathed in the flames of judgment, slammed into the core weakness of the spirit realm's will with earth-shattering force.

Despite the deep resentment and apprehension the Abyss Will harbored towards the Red Heart Society—hating their treachery and despising them for using this opportunity to acquire a vast number of True Gods of the Rules—[…].

But over the long years of the past, He was severely beaten by the will of the spirit world.

The collapse of the Demon God's kingdom and the depletion of its source are common occurrences.

[They were almost completely crushed!]

This deep-seated fear and hatred overwhelmed all calculations about the future.

Besides, He couldn't care less about all that.

Let's deal with that old bastard from the Netherworld first!

Most importantly, that old fox from Hell isn't on my side.

【bar?】

What can we use to stop them?

With the help of the will of hell, he had no way to stop the Red Heart Society.

[If that's the case, then let's first sink the spirit world into the mud.]

【As for the Red Heart Society?】

[Once I've caught my breath and drained myself of the spirit world, I'll have plenty of time and means to make those rule thieves spit it all out, with interest.]

He guarantees it!
Not a single penny will be shortchanged!

Faced with the decline of the spirit world's will, the Abyss, Hell, and the Red Heart Society displayed a strikingly consistent strategic intent.

[While not necessarily crushing the Spirit Realm, at least bring it to a level comparable to theirs.] (End of Chapter)
