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

In September of the Extraordinary Calendar year 862, the alarm lights silently illuminated the core nurturing matrix of the Crimson Heart Society deep within the Star Abyss. It wasn't an enemy attack, but rather an unexpected energy overflow.

With the combined efforts of the former gods of the spirit realm and the demon gods of the abyss who have switched sides, the number of newly formed and unique rule-based demigods within the Red Heart Society is increasing at an unprecedented and terrifying rate.

The birth of each new demigod is like lighting up a unique new star on the Red Heart Society's rule star map.

[This torrent, driven by those who switched jobs, was so large and efficient that even the senior engineers of the Red Heart Society, who were responsible for monitoring the data, were astonished.]

[And all of this means to you that the vast and boundless array of rules within the ultimate rules is expanding at a dizzying pace.]

Countless unprecedented threads of rules, imbued with wondrous power, were woven together.

The power of rules converges within the ultimate path, strengthening this unique set of ultimate rules that belongs to you.

In just over a decade, the number of rules attached to it has grown at a rate so steep it has surpassed the total growth of the previous century of dedicated effort.

You can clearly feel that with each new node lighting up and each new rule being loaded, the power dormant deep within the origin of your rules is expanding and surging.

This power, originating from the ultimate path, is roaring with unprecedented ferocity.

Its terrifying amplification even makes you, the controller of the rules, feel a slight chill.

A premonition, almost prophetic, stemming from instinct, churns deep within your consciousness.

[When this ultimate path, which has absorbed the power of countless worlds and integrated endless rules, comes to its end.]

When the final crown of true god is placed upon him, in what earth-shattering manner will this suppressed, accumulated, and infinitely purified power erupt?

[A supreme demigod has reached the absolute pinnacle of the demigod realm, and their signature ability is the ability to successfully escape from pursuit by enemies far exceeding their own level.]

[Then what about the ultimate true gods who ascended to the throne?]

Do we truly possess the qualifications to confront the will of the world, or even to directly challenge its supreme power?

【Do not! 】

Perhaps it's unwise to expect a direct confrontation. For a newly ascended Supreme True God, successfully escaping the crushing force of a raging, all-out Great World Will would already be an earth-shattering feat, enough to shake the universe and rewrite the rules.

[If this happens, it will be enough to prove the incredible potential of this path.]

But all of this is ultimately just your speculation, full of anticipation yet impossible to verify, based on the growth of rules and the expansion of power.

Even the Red Heart Society's tenth-generation supercomputer, with its computing power sufficient to simulate the creation and destruction of the World Matrix, had simulated billions of possible scenarios.

However, unless a true supreme god is born in this space-time, any prediction is like a magnificent palace built on quicksand; even the most exquisite model is merely a castle in the air.

[August of the Extraordinary Calendar 888, a day marked by the ancient calendar of the Red Heart Society as auspicious for all activities and with favorable celestial alignments.]

The long-brewing thunder finally roared.

The Supreme Council of the Red Heart Society officially announced to all core members and all affiliated planes the launch of a grand blueprint worthy of being recorded in the annals of Star Abyss.

[The Yakuza Project!]

The Red Heart Society of today is no longer the fledgling organization it once was.

Wherever their forces point, the cosmos trembles!

[With countless true gods wielding power and countless divine armies, the strategic resources stockpiled deep within the Star Abyss are so abundant that they would make any great world take notice.]

Compared to the struggling Chixin Society of the previous timeline, it's like night and day.

[Unbelievably powerful!]

Even the Star Society and the Abyss Alliance, which had reached their final forms in the previous timeline, would probably be nothing more than insignificant ants under the feet of a giant compared to the Red Heart Society today.

And you, as the source and core driving force of the ultimate rules, also have a flame of exploration burning within you.

With the Red Heart Society's unprecedentedly strong foundation and its accumulated essence from the multiverse, can it successfully nurture the legendary ultimate demigod?

If successful, how many extraordinary stars, capable of illuminating the future, can be cultivated on this unprecedentedly fertile land?

If the path to godhood could be governed by a mature set of rules, then the dream of everyone becoming a god would no longer be a distant dream.

[It could even become a reality in this time and space!]

[Perhaps a demigod at the highest level doesn't possess the immense power and immortality of a true god, but if they can exchange a few blows with a true god, then in a sense, they can be considered to have the combat strength of a true god.]

[If that's the case, who dares to say this isn't a true god?] [And this extreme plan, carrying immense expectations and unknown risks, instantly caused a huge uproar within the Red Heart Society upon its announcement! The cheers of supporters were like a surging tide in the starry sea.]

However, the dissenting voices were also exceptionally clear and heavy.

The anxieties of the veterans and researchers who had personally experienced the brutal trials of the previous era spread rapidly through the fervent atmosphere like cold stardust.

They spoke out vehemently in internal strategy meetings and on their telepathic communication networks.

The lessons of history are still fresh in our minds!

Launching the Extreme Path Project is tantamount to announcing to the entire world that we have grasped the seed of ultimate power capable of overturning the existing order.

This will inevitably provoke the most direct, fierce, and relentlessly devastating blow from the will of the Great World!

[It's a fuse that ignites self-destruction!]

Yes, the Red Heart Empire is now countless times stronger than before. We possess the power to confront and even suppress the true god legions of ordinary great worlds.

But please stay clear-headed!

What we are facing is the complete, unified will of the Great World!

[It is the embodiment of the rules of the universe!]

The primordial power they wield cannot be simply measured by the number of true gods or technological superiority.

Even in the face of true, cosmic-level divine might, we remain vulnerable.

If that's the case, why not continue to endure it?

Should we continue with the strategy of accumulating grain and delaying the declaration of kingship?

[Accumulating power, waiting for the opportune moment to truly contend with the Great World's core?]

Despite the opponents' valid and thought-provoking concerns, the prevailing will within the Red Heart Society, like a surging galaxy, irresistibly swayed towards supporting the Yakuza plan.

On one hand, there is the supreme prestige you possess as the founder of the Red Heart Society.

On the other hand, everyone also agrees that this is indeed the time.

[Especially the top leaders of the Red Heart Society; their thinking is calm and pragmatic, and their logic is equally unbreakable.]

[Store up grain?]

We've been doing it!

But there's always a limit to food supplies!

[Should we postpone declaring ourselves king?]

We have never claimed the title of king, but has the malice and hostility of the world diminished in the slightest because of our forbearance?

The ascension to godhood is indeed difficult, requiring talent, opportunity, and a vast accumulation of resources—it's a slow and painstaking process.

But demigods are different!

Provided the rules are sufficiently aligned and resources are abundant, the cultivation speed and quantity can far exceed those of traditional methods.

[The ultimate demigod is the cutting-edge power that we can scale up and mass-produce.]

Most importantly, even if we don't activate the Extreme Path Project today, we can bury our heads in the sands of Star Abyss and pretend nothing happened.

[Those three great worlds—the Abyss, Hell, and the Spirit Realm—whose conflict with us is irreconcilable, have they ever ceased their relentless attacks and endless extermination against us?]

They are constantly thinking about erasing Xingyuan from the universe!

The only difference is that they are now restrained by each other, dragged down by their own internal strife, and have temporarily lost that absolute ability to deliver a fatal blow and completely annihilate us.

If that were the case, the world's external slap would have already arrived.

Finally, the former headmaster gave the final verdict on this matter.

As a conservative, I've always thought I was quite conservative.

[But I didn't expect that you young and middle-aged people, who should be radicals, would be even more conservative than me, a conservative?] (End of Chapter)
