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

[You know, the Star Demon God's premonitions and guesses, stemming from the authority of the stars, were largely correct.]

[Because your supreme divine sense, vast enough to cover an entire star field, has clearly sensed the unusual movement of the Abyss's will.]

[In the distant abyss, the chaotic, tyrannical, and greedy will of the great world is becoming more active and its probing tentacles more targeted than ever before.]

The information about the unknown spy, released by the Will of Hell, successfully alerted the Will of the Abyss and aroused even greater curiosity.

The power of the Abyss's will began to extend more actively into void regions suspected of exhibiting anomalies, attempting to detect any fluctuations in rules or traces of existence that did not belong to the known larger world system.

This change confirms the Star Demon God's judgment: the Abyss will be more eager than Hell to find out the source of that equal gaze, which will undoubtedly increase the risk of the Red Heart Society's actions being exposed.

However, it's also possible that the abyss's attention is drawn to a higher-level objective, causing it to temporarily overlook subtle changes right under its nose.

Within the vast territory of the Abyss, the Red Heart Society's development did not stagnate or advance recklessly due to the attention of its higher-ups. On the contrary, it strictly adhered to the supreme directive prioritizing stability, like the most patient miners, silently digging through the dark rock strata.

[A large number of Red Heart Society warriors, through meticulous camouflage and infiltration procedures, successfully infiltrated various levels of the Abyss.]

Their primary task was not to incite rebellion or direct confrontation, but to carry out basic, seemingly harmless, or even beneficial environmental modifications.

Using the advanced technology they brought with them and the power of their own rules, they secretly and on a small scale modified the extremely harsh soil and weather conditions in the abyss.

For example, purifying nodules can be placed on the edge of a desert filled with corrosive energy, weakening force fields can be established around a perpetually raging energy storm zone, and a network of drainage pipes can be laid beneath a highly toxic swamp.

To the demon lords, these modifications might be seen as an attempt by a restless vassal race to improve its habitat, or some rare shift in the laws of nature, unlikely to arouse the attention of the higher-ups in the short term.

Although the transformed area still cannot compare to the world of order, its living conditions have seen a small but tangible improvement.

[At the same time, it began to support the slow formation of some relatively mild life forms or resource points, which provided a valuable foothold and cover for the Chixin Society's subsequent deeper activities.]

Meanwhile, an even larger-scale project was being carried out simultaneously in these areas, which were secretly influenced or controlled by the Red Heart Society, under conditions of absolute secrecy.

The array masters and rule scholars of the Red Heart Society have begun secretly setting up the pinnacle of the Red Heart Society's work from the previous timeline: the Great Severing Array!

The principle behind this formation is extremely complex. It is not an offensive or defensive formation, but a massive, comprehensive ritual array involving spatial anchoring, rule stripping, and temporary isolation from the world's origin.

[Its ultimate goal is to carry out a one-time excision at a crucial moment in the future, when the Red Heart Society's power has accumulated to a certain level, or when the Abyss experiences a power vacuum or a gap in its will due to external events.]

Like a surgical procedure, a piece of flesh that has been corrupted by the Crimson Heart is separated from the demon's body, freeing it from the direct control of the Abyss's will and transforming it into a strategic enclave of the Crimson Heart Society, or even a part of the future Crimson Heart Great World.

This is undoubtedly an extremely insane plan, akin to snatching food from a tiger's mouth, a fight against the entire world.

However, this requires an extremely long time to gradually complete the laying of the core nodes of the formation; it is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight.

[What's needed even more is for the Chixin Society to subtly and gradually numb the abyss's senses.]

[All actions must be disguised as natural ecological changes, energy migrations, or power shifts among lower-ranking lords within the Abyss, and must not trigger any rule-based alerts exceeding a certain threshold.] [Your stance towards the Abyss, and hellish entities like it, has never wavered.]

You never had any intention of cooperating!

The essence of these great world wills is chaos, engulfment, and eternal oppression, which is diametrically opposed to the order, self-strengthening, and liberation of life pursued by the Red Heart Society; their contradiction is irreconcilable.

The stark lessons learned from past interactions and future observations have only strengthened your resolve.

[Especially after you achieve the status of a Supreme True God, and possess power sufficient to pose a fatal threat to the will of the Great World, this either-or mentality becomes even more singular, clear, ruthless, and leaves no room for maneuver.]

In the future global landscape, there is no possibility of coexistence between the Red Heart Society and the wider world.

[Not dying in the abyss!]

[Living with a pure heart!]

This is the ultimate struggle for the living space of civilization, a life-or-death duel of ideologies and paths, which can only end with the complete defeat or submission of one side.

The deployment of the Grand Slicing Array is the first substantial step in this long-term strategy for the ultimate showdown.

[While the Abyss's long-term plans were quietly progressing, the Crimson Heart Society was also steadily integrating and expanding its core territory.]

In May of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society methodically brought the various ordinary worlds near its sphere of influence under its direct management.

However, this inclusion is not simply a matter of military occupation or political vassalage.

[The Red Heart Society will leverage its highly complex spatial arrays and the immense power of its colossal, technologically advanced divine weapons to execute a more radical and ambitious operation.]

Instead, it directly pulls these ordinary worlds from their original orbits or spatial locations, guiding them through precise rules and buffering energy, gradually integrating them into the core structure of the Crimson Heart World both physically and at the rule level.

This is a grand project that physically merges multiple independent worlds, aiming to continuously expand the scale and foundation of the Crimson Heart World.

[The production of a normal chili sauce requires extremely advanced life sciences and extraordinary technology.]

The merging of the two worlds involves the coordination and reconstruction of mass, gravity, the network of rules, energy cycles, and even the fundamental frequency of the worlds. Any error in any of these aspects will cause problems.

[At best, it could trigger global geological disasters and ecological extinction; at worst, it could lead to regulatory conflicts and spatial collapse.]

Even in the future, if not handled properly, significant problems could arise regarding the integration and initiative among the world's wills.

[Once the will of the world is involved, the various issues that arise become very complex.] (End of Chapter)
