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

[Or rather, based on the confidence and synchronized action they demonstrate, their success rate is very high.]

Otherwise, given the wisdom and prudence of these two ancient demon gods, how could they have made such a resolute, almost all-or-nothing, sacrificial ascension at the same time?

The gods simply didn't know the specific procedures and prerequisites for sacrificing the power of sacrifice; otherwise, just seeing the Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God so eager, frank, and even with an unwavering belief would have been enough to entice many true gods to follow suit.

[Even if it means taking huge risks, it's worth it.]

After all, compared to being eternally trapped in one's current realm or perishing in some future divine war, the allure of a high-stakes gamble that could lead to transcendence is irresistible.

Countless divine thoughts frantically communicated and deduced in the void, attempting to glean even the slightest information about the path from this earth-shattering event.

In many hidden divine realms, ancient true gods, dormant for many years, have opened their eyes.

Some radical pantheons have begun to mobilize resources in an attempt to locate the Land of Ascension.

Many more true gods are observing and secretly adjusting their stance and plans.

The ascension of the Heart Demon God and the Star Demon God was like a boulder thrown into a stagnant pool, completely stirring up the deep waters of the Universal True God hierarchy. The chain reaction it triggered has only just begun.

[April of the 192nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, some time has passed since the Heart Demon God and Star Demon God began their sacrificial ascension.]

Although the Abyss's will was filled with murderous intent, it was powerless to stop the ascension process protected by the supreme rules. It could only watch helplessly as the auras of the two traitors became clearer and stronger at the level of the rules, while their connection with the Abyss grew weaker and weaker.

This sense of powerlessness grew stronger each day, making the will of the abyss increasingly restless.

This anxiety is not simply anger, but a deep unease mixed with a sense of powerlessness, a challenge to authority, and a premonition of the situation spiraling out of control.

[A restless mood, like a plague, spread through the chaotic nature of the Abyss's will, inevitably affecting the territories within its reach.]

[Although the Abyss's Will has not explicitly issued orders to target ordinary worlds that have been corrupted by its power and used as sources of demonic soldiers or ranches of faith.]

However, under the unconscious radiation and lingering effects of this anxious atmosphere, the ecological environment and the stability of the rules in these worlds began to undergo drastic and malignant changes.

The chaotic nature of the abyss has been amplified, its erosion intensified, natural disasters became more frequent, monster mutations accelerated, and the living environment deteriorated drastically.

All beings living in these worlds, whether or not they believe in the abyss, suffer undeserved calamities.

Even the vast majority of the Abyss Territories secretly controlled, modified, or infiltrated by the Red Heart Club are beginning to undergo tremendous changes.

Although the situation is slightly better due to the intervention of the Red Heart Society's technology and rule-stabilizing devices, it is still not completely immune to the chaotic contamination originating from the abyss.

Within these territories, a restless and indiscriminate force originating from the will of the abyss began to summon and corrupt them.

The power of the abyss surged spontaneously and violently in these areas like a wild horse without reins, causing a large number of demon lairs that originally required specific conditions or long gestation periods to be born. Furthermore, there were powerful demons of various strengths reaching the level of lords, appearing out of thin air or rapidly mutated from ordinary monsters, frantically attacking everything in sight, including the Red Heart Society's strongholds and facilities.

In other words, the Red Heart Society is now quite powerful and is no longer the weak organization that struggled to survive in the cracks of society.

Its true power, mostly hidden beneath layers of disguise and dimensional barriers, has never been fully revealed on the global stage due to long-term strategic concealment and deep accumulation for future development.

Faced with the demonic horde riots and ecological catastrophe sweeping across large swathes of their controlled territory, triggered by the restlessness of the Abyss's will, the Red Heart Society's response strategy was clear and resolute.

The primary objective at present is to consolidate the acquired abyssal territories, ensure the stability of these hard-won footholds, and transform them into bases for the continuous production of resources and talent.

Therefore, in order to achieve this primary goal, the Red Heart Society only needs to reveal a small portion of its power to suppress this seemingly terrifying turmoil.

The engineering corps followed closely behind, repairing damaged facilities, cleaning up contaminated land, and restoring order and environmental stability to the area. The entire process was efficient and orderly, demonstrating remarkable organizational and technological prowess.

Even if, during this process, the Red Heart Society's purge was too swift and efficient, or its demonstrated rule-stabilizing technology attracted the attention of certain powerful individuals.

This further provoked the wrath and provocation of several Abyss Supreme Lords who reigned supreme in the surrounding area, who led even more elite demon legions to demand an explanation.

But what does mere demigod strength matter in the face of the Red Heart Society?

Not to mention the numerous experienced rule-based demigod warriors from the future who are in charge.

[The Red Heart Society's already mass-produced biological rule disruptors specifically designed for high-ranking demons, anti-chaos fields, and god-slaying weapon platforms enhanced with futuristic technology alone are enough to kill these so-called supreme lords on the spot.]

[Its massive demon army melted away rapidly like snow under the scorching sun under the organized Red Heart Society tactical squads and overwhelming firepower.]

The Red Heart Society has proven through its actions that even the local overlords of the Abyss cannot withstand its power within its long-established territory.

However, on the other hand, some members of the Red Heart Society who witnessed and participated in this crackdown, especially the future warriors, couldn't help but feel a sense of contrast and emotion.

[If this were the Chixin Society from previous timelines, whether it was struggling in its early days or facing internal and external troubles in its middle stages, it would probably have perished.]

Faced with such a large-scale, global ecological riot and demonic tide, rooted in the emotional fluctuations of the greater world's will, it was normal for the Red Heart Society's defenses to collapse, its territory to be lost, and even to trigger chain reactions leading to its annihilation in previous timelines.

But history has no "what ifs," and the painful memories of the past, along with the observed destruction across other timelines, make this sentiment all the more poignant.

This led some future warriors within the Red Heart Society, after personally experiencing the disaster caused by the emotional fluctuations of a supreme being, to develop a profound understanding of cause and effect deep within their souls during their daily cultivation and contemplation of their own rules.

They began to transcend individual and local perspectives, examining the universe with a grander and more awe-inspiring gaze.

Their way of thinking gradually became different from others. (End of Chapter)
