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

The Spirit Realm's supposedly brilliant, yet utterly foolish, backstabbing maneuver is now backfiring on itself in the most devastating way.

[He coveted the source of hell and attempted to use the Red Heart Society to severely damage his mortal enemy in the spirit world. What was the result?]

[The abyss, this ungrateful and chaotic beast, turned against us without hesitation after being betrayed, becoming yet another sharp blade hanging over the spirit realm.]

Although Hell has suffered severe damage to its origins and the decline of its true gods, it has also turned its attention to the spirit realm.

[Especially the deep-seated hatred and the backlash from the crimson pact have already marked the spirit world as an irreconcilable enemy.]

Meanwhile, the biggest winner, the Red Heart Society, is probably comfortably holed up deep within the Star Abyss Fortress, sipping tea brewed by the Star Core and thoroughly enjoying this absurd drama in the Spirit Realm, directed by utter fools.

[Besides receiving a portion of Hell's essence that would take a long time to digest and was far from enough to make up for the losses, what else did the spirit realm have left?]

[A shattered territory?]

[Are the gods becoming disloyal and alienated?]

Is he still portrayed as a complete loser, stabbed in the back by allies, cursed by enemies, and mocked by onlookers?

If things continue this way, who knows when the Abyss and Hell might once again set aside their feud and reach some kind of tacit understanding with the steadfast patron, Chixin, who has been watching the conflict unfold, and join forces to target the already wounded Spirit Realm.

If the Abyss remains as powerful as before, then there's naturally no need to worry about it.

But now, can we really not care?

The annihilation caused by being surrounded on three sides is no exaggeration!

This realization, filled with despair and self-deprecation, spread like a silent plague in the hearts of those true gods who had not yet converted and remained in the spirit realm.

Witnessing their master's foolish strategy, they were truly filled with despair.

[If I had known this would happen, I should have followed the war gods back then!]

[Back then, I was too indecisive, always wanting to wait and see, always believing that the spirit realm's will was powerful enough to turn the tide.]

Defection and escape mean certain death.

In hindsight, that was a huge mistake!

Look at that military genius!

[He was once widely recognized as the most steadfast supporter of the spirit world's will.]

[Holding military power, holding a high position of authority!]

But when He saw the situation clearly and judged that the will of the spirit world would drag the entire pantheon into the abyss, His defection was swift and decisive, without even blinking an eye.

That decisiveness, that clear understanding of one's own path, is true wisdom!

What truly broke their hearts was the magnanimity displayed by the Red Heart Society—a military god, a military god indeed!

During the most brutal phase of the divine war, as the supreme commander of the spirit world, He devised countless ruthless and outrageous battle plans.

How many elite legions of the Red Heart Society, especially members of its Hellish branch, have perished under His schemes?

The losses He inflicted on the Red Heart Society were astronomical.

But what was the result?

The Red Heart Society not only accepted Him, but reportedly also entrusted Him with important responsibilities.

Does the spirit world possess this kind of vision, this pragmatic and uncompromising attitude?

The deeper they pondered, the more intensely their regret for missed opportunities and their yearning for the Red Heart Society burned in their hearts like wildfire.

The thought of defection has never been so clear and burning!

[In October of the 762nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, when the three ancient and vast worlds of the Abyss, Hell, and the Spirit Realm shed blood on the stage of the universe (at that time).]

This cataclysmic war of gods, sweeping across countless planes, was a devastating calamity for all living beings. Countless civilizations were reduced to ashes in the flames of war, and the galaxies dimmed.

[But for the Crimson Heart Society, whose headquarters were already deeply rooted in the most hidden dimension of the Star Abyss, this was a long-awaited and exceptionally precious period of peaceful development.] [Standing in the Crimson Heart Society's cold yet efficient strategic command center, overlooking the war-torn landscape of the Three Realms, the high-ranking members had only one simple wish.]

【beat!】

[Beat them to death!]

[Ideally, we should beat the other person's brain out!]

The longer the fight, the better; the more intense the fight, the better!

Only through the continuous mutual attrition and depletion of these three colossal beasts can the Crimson Heart Society gain the most precious time for growth, quietly amass wealth, and transform Star Abyss into a true holy land of rules.

Of course, on the strategic think tank's simulation screen, a red line that absolutely could not be crossed flashed.

[We must never allow any great world to be completely destroyed!]

After all, a triangular structure is the most stable.

[Until the Red Heart Society accumulates enough ultimate power to directly confront and even crush the will of a single, complete great world, this state should not be changed.]

Maintaining a dynamic balance among the three great worlds—the Abyss, Hell, and the Spirit Realm—where they are mutually hostile, mutually restraining, and mutually destructive, is the perfect state that best serves the core interests of the Red Heart Society.

[If any one party becomes dominant, or if any two parties form a solid alliance, it will pose a fatal threat to the still-growing Red Heart Society.]

Only by keeping the Three Realms in a state of perpetual chaos, filled with contradictions, distrust, and blood feuds, can Xingyuan rest easy and secretly continue to draw nourishment from the wounds of the Three Realms.

In March of the 781st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Abyss Will and the Hell Will, these two fragile allies who had just stabbed each other in the back, surprisingly cooperated once again after a brief period of mutual benefit.

They devised an extremely insidious tactic specifically targeting the core weaknesses of the spiritual realm's will and order, using the remaining hellish true gods as cannon fodder to draw enemy fire.

[The two great worlds tore open a bloody gash in the wound that had just healed in the spirit realm, frantically plundering a large amount of precious primordial energy.]

Following this brief but bloody raid, the three already exhausted worlds, like severely wounded and bleeding behemoths, finally entered a brief, deathly silent period of respite.

Looking back at this war of gods that swept the world and lasted for hundreds of years, an absurd yet chilling conclusion emerges in the minds of all those who are clear-headed.

The Abyss, Hell, and the Spirit Realm—these three once colossal entities that once dominated the universe—have none of them emerged as true winners in this frenzied, self-destructive melee.

They all suffered heavy losses, their source depleted, their true gods withered, and their territories shattered.

This is a unique spectacle unparalleled in the entire known history of the universe, spanning hundreds of millions of years.

After all, the origin of the universe, as the highest form of energy and matter, follows the most fundamental law of conservation.

It doesn't disappear into thin air; it only moves on.

So, where did the massive amounts of primordial energy that these three great worlds collectively lost and severely depleted ultimately go?

[Need I say this?]

There is only one choice!

That's the Red Heart Society!

[It was precisely because of this issue that even the Will of Hell, which desperately wanted to cooperate with the Red Heart Society, fell silent.]

The Red Heart Society is developing at an alarming rate!

[And the scheming Chi Xin Hui is hiding a final plot; it's truly impossible to guard against them.]

[Although they remain behind the scenes, they manage to subtly orchestrate the schemes of three great worlds.]

[By using the three Great Worlds as resources, they achieved the Red Heart Society's rapid growth.]

【The Red Heart Society!】

[This is terrifying!] (End of Chapter)
