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

The more Hell thought about it, the more it felt it was time to weaken the Red Heart Society.

This resolute killing intent reached its peak when He recalled the terrifying evacuation of the spirit world not long ago.

At that time, the Star Demon God, with his unparalleled power, swept the entire Red Heart Society army away from the Spirit Realm in an instant. The exquisite skill and swiftness of his methods even surprised Him.

[Just a fraction of a second before the spatial ripples completely subsided, the Hellish Will, with its extremely keen perception, detected a very subtle fluctuation of will.]

That wasn't an individual's extraordinary ability, but rather the aura of a world with a pure heart.

The world's will, which the Red Heart Society considered its foundation, had its power also slipped into the evacuation, silently infiltrating the barriers of order in the spirit realm and participating in that war!

This discovery, like a thunderbolt, cleaved through the fog of understanding the will of hell.

[A nascent world will, risking discovery and crushing by the greater world will, infiltrates deep into enemy territory.]

Is their purpose even worth guessing?

[The Red Heart Society is using this divine war sweeping the universe as a whetstone, and the colossal Spirit Realm as its resources, to forcibly transform the Red Heart World into a new great world!]

The mere thought sent a chill down the spine of even the will of hell.

Normally speaking, this is simply wishful thinking.

For a newly formed world will to cross that insurmountable chasm and ascend to become a greater world will, the energy, the foundation of its rules, and the elusive opportunity required are unimaginable.

This is an almost impossible feat!

[But Chi Xin's past record of defying common sense and trampling on cognition with its unconventional and rule-breaking pace of development flashes wildly in His consciousness like the most glaring warning light.]

This organization cannot be judged by common sense at all!

If this terrifying trend is allowed to continue, until the three ancient worlds of the Abyss, Hell, and the Spirit Realm are reduced to mutual destruction in their endless mutual tearing apart...

[The world's will, this meticulously cultivated monster, may well have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rise to the top in one leap.]

At that time, the Red Heart Society, based in Xingyuan, will have a strong and well-equipped army, with countless True Gods of the Rules under its command, and its divine power and military might will blot out the sky.

[Meanwhile, the Crimson Heart World has successfully joined the ranks of the Great World's Will. Its newly born and vibrant world origin perfectly aligns with the power of the Crimson Heart Society, forming a combined force capable of overturning the global order.]

Even if those three ancient, scarred, and mutually suspicious worlds were to barely unite by then, what would their chances of victory be against the rising power of the Red Heart Society?

[Even self-preservation is in grave danger!]

[Won't all these vast and boundless stars fall into the control of the Red Heart Society, becoming nourishment for the rampant expansion of its divine kingdom of rules?]

This chilling projection of the future, like a cold shackle, gripped the throat of the will of hell, making it determined to strike first.

In March of the 813th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, as the three world wills breathed a sigh of relief from exhaustion, the universe temporarily entered a strange period of peaceful development.

The embers of war have not completely cooled, but the large-scale conflict between gods has indeed come to an end.

But beneath this surface tranquility lies a far more turbulent undercurrent.

The Red Heart Society, an organization that deeply understands that time is power, shows no signs of letting up.

In the core region of the Star Abyss, protected by layers of dimensional barriers, countless enormous, star-like space stabilizers were activated, emitting a low, constant hum.

These creations of the Red Heart Society's cutting-edge technology are operating at full capacity, forcibly calming the raging spacetime turbulence on the outskirts of the Star Abyss, stabilizing and solidifying previously dangerous and desolate dimensional zones, and then incorporating them into the Red Heart Society's actual control.

【expansion!】

Expanding silently and resolutely!

With the explosive growth in the number of members of the Red Heart Society, the original core area of ​​Star Abyss has long become overcrowded, and the need for a more spacious living and cultivation space is imminent.

This is both a practical necessity and a strategic move made with foresight.

The higher-ups of the Red Heart Society never harbored any illusions about those three temporarily dormant great worlds.

On the cold, illuminated screen of the highest strategic command center, the simulation models of the Abyss, Hell, and the Spirit Realm are forever marked with the highest threat level.

[Their behavioral predictions are always based on scenario simulations of the most insidious, unscrupulous, and malicious possibilities.] [Even the Hell's Will, which once cooperated with the Red Heart Society and seemed to have the most "friendly" attitude, has never had a risk assessment index below extremely dangerous in the Red Heart Society's internal files.]

【Peace?】

This is merely a brief respite before the storm, a prelude to an even more violent conflict.

[April of the 826th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Wang Meng! This War God of the Red Heart Society, after experiencing the sedimentation and tempering of multiple timelines.]

[After being personally guided by Agrus, a veritable furnace of hell, and tempered through countless battles on the brink of life and death, he boldly triggered a storm of rules for advancing to the second tier within the Trial Star Ring deep within the Star Abyss.]

When that radiant light, symbolizing a qualitative leap in power and capable of tearing apart stars, soars into the sky, announcing the birth of a new second-tier True God of the Rules, the entire Crimson Heart will be abuzz with excitement.

[But amidst this boiling fervor, there were countless gazes from a specific group, almost blank and broken.]

Those former powerful true gods who betrayed the abyss or the spirit realm and embarked on the path of the true gods of rules were now feeling their core divine essence tremble.

[Several hundred years?]

[In just a few hundred years, they've taken such a big step forward on the path to divinity?]

This concept of time, like the sharpest dagger, pierced through their established barriers of perception, stirring up a monstrous wave within their network of divine consciousness.

Who are they?

[They were all beings who, in their respective great worlds, endured countless hardships and dangers, spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of years, before finally accumulating power and ascending to the throne of gods.]

Even at the moment they attained true godhood and authority, most of them were only at the starting point of the third tier.

The price they paid to advance from the third tier to the second tier was unimaginable.

That was a long and arduous cultivation process often measured in epochs, countless near-death experiences exploring different planes, and the accumulation of unimaginable amounts of divine resources.

The process is so arduous and lengthy that stars can be born and then vanish.

But what about Wang Meng in front of us?

[From the very beginning of the path of reforming rules to now entering the hallowed halls of the second tier, it has only taken a few hundred years?]

This speed is beyond description; it's utterly absurd, defying all the laws of the universe.

Is the path to divine rules really so easy to traverse?

But why don't they feel anything?

When they recalled their experiences over the past century since their transformation into practitioners of the rules, that bitterness instantly transformed into deeper confusion and self-doubt.

It's been almost a century!

They felt that their exploration of the path to divine rules was like sinking into the thickest astral swamp.

Every step was incredibly difficult; the rules were obscure and difficult to understand; and the increase in strength was negligible.

[It's almost identical to the feeling of slowly climbing the ranks within a system of authority.]

I didn't experience the rapid progress that the legendary path of rules supposedly offers—its relative freedom and unlimited potential—let alone any promotion.

【why? 】

Why was Wang Meng able to rise to prominence for centuries, while we struggle to make even a single step?

Could it be that the Red Heart Society possesses some unknown core secret technique that can significantly accelerate advancement on the path to becoming a Divine Ruler?

[A shortcut to success open only to true insiders?]

The more they thought about it, the more reasonable and agreeable it seemed.

After all, this is the only explanation! (End of Chapter)
