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

In March of the 847th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the aftershocks of Wang Meng's ascension ceremony to the True God of Rules, which shook the Star Abyss, had not yet completely subsided.

Under the awe-inspiring halo of this Red Heart Society elder's successful ascension to the throne, both the spirit gods who later switched their allegiance to the Red Heart Society and the abyssal demons who abandoned the shackles of the abyss to embrace the rules displayed an unprecedented level of cooperation.

They served as exemplary members in all matters within the Red Heart Society, actively responding to resource allocation, strictly adhering to organizational discipline, and even working diligently in external expansion or defense missions.

The root of this almost deliberate obedience is self-evident.

[The coveted, mysterious path within the Red Heart Society that allows True Gods of Rules to rapidly advance and even transcend the threshold.]

Even the Lord of Power and the Source Demon God, both beings who had already stepped into the realm of transcendence, restrained their arrogance before the core members of the Crimson Heart Society, adopting an extremely humble posture and displaying near-absolute obedience.

They desire it more than anyone else!

[They yearn to touch the core mysteries that allow pioneers like Ye Lingtian, the Star Demon God, and the Heart Demon God to continuously break through, and perhaps even glimpse higher dimensions.]

This yearning, like a black hole in the universe, was devouring their reason.

If simply obeying orders, upholding the Red Heart Society's ideals, or even shouting "Red Heart is victorious!" could get them what they dreamed of, then they would be willing!

Thus, during this time, the Lord of Power and the Source Demon God obeyed orders while simultaneously beginning their investigation.

Using their terrifying superhuman senses, they began searching areas they had previously ignored, without violating any overt rules.

[The excuse was easy to find: under the guise of seeking advice, exchanging ideas, or unintentionally glancing around, he silently swept his divine sense, capable of piercing through star fields, over every corner of the Red Heart Society headquarters.]

They firmly believed that such a core secret could not have been kept completely hidden.

What both drove them mad and shocked them was that they did indeed see something unusual.

[Through countless spiritual interactions, they detected subtle, unusual fluctuations emanating from some members of the Red Heart Society, and sensed delicate inconsistencies in the spatial rules of certain areas.]

[Even in the unconscious mental ripples of some members, fragmented information about a certain core insight and accelerated rules was gleaned.]

This contains a sense of time and space.

[Yet these clues, so close at hand, like soap bubbles floating in the air, clearly reflected the miracles that the members of the Red Heart Society were experiencing or had already experienced.]

But when their divine senses attempted to delve deeper and decipher these secrets, the information vanished instantly like bubbles, or twisted into meaningless chaotic gibberish.

[Visible, but intangible, and incomprehensible!]

This extreme sense of frustration, of something so close yet so unattainable, was gnawing at the core of the two transcendent beings' divine essence.

【Star Demon God!】

[Or perhaps the inner demon!]

Only their immense power could achieve such thorough and seamless information concealment and rule distortion.

After countless fruitless investigations, the Lord of Power and the Source Demon God finally reached this conclusion, which was both expected and extremely frustrating for them.

The invisible information firewall within the Red Heart Society is so sophisticated that it surpasses their comprehension and the limits they can overcome.

[After a long period of torment and burning desire, the dignity and patience of a transcendent being finally reached their breaking point.]

They decided to stop playing this cat-and-mouse game of spying and instead choose the most direct approach.

[We'll visit in person to inquire!]

Faced with direct questioning from an entity of the same level, the Star Demon God did not refuse to communicate.

His figure sat serenely at the core of a rotating galaxy, his body flowing with an eternal, unchanging stellar rhythm.

However, the answer He gave plunged the Lord of Power and the Source Demon God into an even deeper abyss of confusion.

The Star Demon God neither denied the existence of the secret nor offered a direct explanation.

His words, like the whispers of stars from billions of light-years away, are full of profound and mysterious metaphors. Observe the North Star; its movement appears as stillness, yet within stillness lies change. This change follows its course, and the course is the trace of the Way.

When the stars align, the shadow of the abyss will guide the lost.

【.】

Each of His words seemed to correspond to the trajectory of a star deep within the universe, containing an endless torrent of information, yet when combined, they formed the most obscure cosmic puzzle.

The Lord of Power attempted to analyze the Dao traces of the star's trajectory using pure power rules, while the Source Demon God tried to simulate the variables of the star's orbit using chaotic demonic energy, but both efforts were in vain.

In the vast universe, amidst countless civilizations and cultural contexts, the meanings that the trajectories and radiance of stars can symbolize are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

[Each fundamental meaning, when combined with different observation angles, different spatiotemporal backgrounds, and different energy perturbations, ultimately points to an infinite number of possible and contradictory results.]

This is simply an unsolvable tangled mess of information woven from the stars.

How can we guess?

The Lord of Power and the Source Demon God, burdened with countless mysteries of the stars and pent-up frustration, turned to the Heart Demon God.

Compared to the Star Demon God's cryptic response, the Heart Demon God's reply was much more straightforward.

His form, constructed from the pure rules of the mind, radiates a cold, penetrating light that sees through all thoughts, pointing directly to the core.

The Red Heart Society naturally possesses supreme methods to help you advance, accelerate your enlightenment, and even unlock the door to transcendence.

Otherwise, why would the Star Demon God and I willingly remain here, subject to his control?

Is it all for a fleeting, elusive love and sense of belonging?

As beings who have lived through countless ages, witnessed the rise and fall of the universe, and understood the true nature of billions of living beings and organizations, we have seen far too many so-called ideal states and eternal organizations turn to dust.

Why did they develop such a deep-rooted identification with and allegiance to the Red Heart Society?

The Demon God's counter-question struck the hearts of the two transcendent beings like a heavy hammer.

Is there any need to guess at the inevitability and absolute value inherent in this?

The reason why you are still confused and have failed to grasp the core issue is quite simple.

You have not yet passed the most fundamental and core test of the Red Heart Society.

When that door truly opens for you, you will understand everything.

[The words of the Heart Demon God were cryptic and full of philosophical speculation and open-ended questions. In essence, they were not much different from simply listening to a lecture.]

It didn't reveal any substantial methods, paths, or tests; it was merely an alluring affirmation.

[The secret exists, and its value is astounding!]

It was this affirmation, this official certification from another senior transcendent and core elder of the Red Heart Society, that instantly dispelled all the gloom and frustration brought on by the Star Demon God's riddle in the hearts of the Lord of Power and the Source Demon God.

Although the road ahead remains shrouded in mist, and the specific form of the trial is unknown, the existence of the door has been confirmed.

The key is right there!

[Once they pass that so-called test of authenticity, the Red Heart Society's most precious treasure, the shortcut to a higher dimension, will be opened to them.]

The ecstasy and anticipation brought about by this possibility, capable of altering eternal destiny, temporarily made the two transcendent beings forget all their doubts, leaving only one burning thought in their hearts.

Find that door!

[You've passed that test!]

[At all costs!] (End of Chapter)
