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

Lin Xia simply smiled at the shock shown by the Heart Demon God.

He was as clear-headed as a mirror and naturally knew the will of this transcendent being who had experienced so much. His apparent shock and astonishment were mostly a pretense and performance out of courtesy or some deeper consideration.

But for the relatively young Heart Demon God who was suddenly teleported here, witnessing another version of himself, carrying vast information about the future and even a hint of the end, descend before him was a truly shocking experience.

His surprise was genuine and could not be faked.

The direct confrontation of two selves is like looking in a mirror, yet it reflects completely different trajectories of time and space and weight of existence. This experience is enough to shake the mind of any being.

Lin Xia knew that she should not stay any longer in this situation.

These two inner demons, who have traversed a long period of time and carry memories and insights from different historical stages, must have a lot to say.

Whether it's warnings about the future path, discussions about the nature of power, reflections on the rise and fall of civilizations, or simply sharing unique experiences and insights, private communication is essential.

This may involve secrets, confusions, and even choices that only they themselves can understand.

His presence, on the contrary, becomes an invisible constraint, preventing certain conversations that touch the depths of the soul from being freely expressed.

Therefore, he very considerately chose to avoid it.

Without uttering any further words, he simply nodded slightly to the two inner demons, indicating that they should do as they pleased. Then, with a turn, his figure faded away instantly, like ink dissolving in water.

Lin Xia's departure did not cause the slightest spatial fluctuation.

They simply vanished from the spot, as if they had never existed, leaving this tranquil space entirely for two selves from different times to converse.

Meanwhile, under the central council dome at the headquarters of the Red Heart Society.

A high-level core meeting was urgently convened.

The attendees were all true decision-makers and pillars of the Red Heart Society in various fields, and their eyes burned with thoughts about the future.

Although Lin Xia's will did not manifest directly, his strategic intentions were clearly conveyed.

This conference has only one theme: to re-examine and adjust the overall development strategy of Chixin Club based on the new strategic window of opportunity brought about by the leap in the strength of the founders.

The Red Heart Society must abandon its past development model, which was driven by a sense of crisis and was somewhat radical and risky, and instead pursue solid, comprehensive, and sustainable self-development during the most stable period.

This means investing more resources in in-depth research into fundamental rules, comprehensive optimization of the education system, healthy cultivation of social structures, and balanced advancement in technology, rather than solely pursuing explosive growth in short-term combat power.

Of course, the strategic adjustment does not mean a complete contraction.

The infiltration plan against the sworn enemy, the Spirit Realm, must still be carried out due to its long-term value and intelligence needs.

However, the pace of execution, the intensity of investment, and the boundaries of risk need to be reassessed, because there is no need to be so hasty.

Today, the Red Heart Society is like a chess player on the sidelines with enough strength to protect themselves, able to calmly observe.

The Red Heart Society now only needs to wait for an inevitable divine war to erupt between those three great worlds, which are filled with mutual distrust and deep-seated contradictions.

At that time, no matter how the battle unfolds, the Red Heart Society will be able to use its more concealed position, more thorough preparation, and sharper vision to snatch its own spoils from the edge of the chaotic vortex.

Whether it's resources, intelligence, or strategic initiative.

"Teacher, may I ask what level your current skill level is?"

During a break in the meeting, Lin Xue remained silent for a moment before finally raising her head and looking towards the head of the meeting room.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire hall. All eyes turned to her.

As the person in charge of internal affairs, Lin Xue was well aware of the weight of her responsibilities. She needed to formulate and implement the various strategies distributed by the Chixin Society based on the most comprehensive and accurate information.

Any misjudgment could lead to catastrophic resource misallocation or strategic overreach.

Although Lin Xia's confident tone suggested an exciting possibility to everyone present.

However, the development of the Red Heart Society cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake.

If one's guesses are wrong, overestimating one's own deterrent power or underestimating potential risks, then the strategy formulated will truly be a major problem that could bury the future of civilization.

"If you don't care, you can perish together with the whole world."

Lin Xia looked around and spoke.

Upon hearing this, a tension that had been taut in Lin Xue's heart for a long time suddenly eased, and she felt instantly at ease.

This is not empty encouragement, but a calm assessment made by the founders based on their own level of understanding.

In other words, the Red Heart Society now possesses a top-tier power at the highest and most decisive strategic deterrence level, capable of countering and even forcing any major world's will to hesitate before taking action.

This means that the Damocles' sword of direct annihilation of the Great World that hangs over the Red Heart Society has been greatly reduced in threat.

The resulting chain reaction was enormous; the Red Heart Society's urgent and anxious need for top-tier combat power naturally diminished.

Many radical policies that were previously necessary to quickly create true gods and demigods have become less necessary and urgent.

The overall tone of civilization's development will quietly shift from a struggle for survival to steady growth.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the future soldier's residential area.

The Star Demon God was standing by the railing, his gaze piercing through layers of spatial barriers, just in time to see the Heart Demon God's suddenly departing figure.

Upon seeing this, His brows furrowed involuntarily.

Even with His level of understanding and His alliance with the Heart Demon God, He couldn't fathom what exactly happened behind that fleeting spatial ripple, nor did He know what the Heart Demon God was doing.

But an almost instinctive, inexplicable feeling, like a subtle electric current, ran through the core of His will.

This feeling told Him, the Heart Demon God, that this journey was no ordinary one, but rather a great opportunity concerning His future path!

The feeling came out of nowhere, without any logical basis, yet it was incredibly clear and intense.

As a demon god who holds the power over the stars, the Star Demon God knows better than anyone else that the movement of the stars is in harmony with the will of Heaven. Such sudden spiritual senses or premonitions are often not unfounded.

It signifies a subtle shift in a predetermined trajectory of fate, or the intervention of a significant variable.

"That feeling is back!"

"How many times has this sudden urge come over in just a few years?"

"The secrets of the Red Heart Society are truly fascinating!"

"Perhaps my path to transcendence lies right beneath my feet!" (End of Chapter)
