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

At this moment, the Abyss's will, having suffered a direct slap in the face, was enraged and filled with disbelief.

Even the Hellish Will, which had been secretly observing and gloating, and the Spiritual Will, which had been calmly watching from the sidelines, were deeply shocked by the precision and ability to decipher the inner demons that they displayed in that split second.

This goes beyond their conventional understanding of individual power, and even shatters their comprehension.

[Those above the level of True Gods are not particularly important to the will of the Great World.]

[Because in their view, no matter how strong an individual's power is, it is still insignificant compared to the accumulated foundation, near-infinite network of rules, and regenerative capacity of a complete, vast world over billions of years.]

After all, individual cultivators are far inferior to those in such a vast world!

Ultimately, all living beings are born in this world.

[No matter how strong it is, how strong can it really be?]

Can an ant really swallow a planet whole?

Even if someone is hailed as an eternal and immortal true god, or an achiever of transcendence, as long as they haven't reached a level capable of truly shaking the very origin of the world, the will of the Great World is still confident that it can slowly crush them by incurring costs.

This is like a giant facing an exceptionally strong ant; it may require more effort, but the outcome is the same.

However, the significance of a transcendent being who can withstand a powerful attack from the will of the world without being defeated, and even find the opponent's deeply hidden weakness in an instant and successfully escape, is entirely different!

This not only demonstrates the raw power of its strength, but also showcases its astonishing combat wisdom and insight, and perhaps even some unknown, unique knowledge or restraint regarding the methods of the greater world.

This being is no longer a strong ant that can be easily crushed by brute force, but a deadly assassin wielding a sharp blade, familiar with the weaknesses of giants, and swift and slippery.

His appearance signifies that individual power has reached a new level that is troublesome for the will of the greater world, requiring a reassessment of the threat level and potentially forcing a change in certain operational strategies.

This means they cannot afford to be careless!

[The Heart Demon God's textbook-worthy performance—against strength, using skill to overcome power, and ultimately escaping unscathed—had a far more impactful effect than a simple display of power.]

With its perfect escape, it coldly and clearly declared one thing to the will of all the great worlds throughout the universe.

[A fundamental rift has appeared in that era when the vast world absolutely dominated everything, and individual strong individuals could only struggle or depend on the gaps in the rules.]

From this point on, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!

[When an individual reaches a certain point of qualitative change, they acquire the qualifications and ability to engage in asymmetrical maneuvering with the larger world, and even challenge some of its authority.]

The days of invincibility in this vast world are over!

This realization, like the sharpest icicle, pierced the core of the mindset of every great world's will, a mind accustomed to looking down upon all living beings.

[Of course, the world still possesses a vast scale, endless resources, and a complex network of rules that are difficult for individuals to comprehend.]

However, when faced with those who surpass them, their greatest weakness is also fully exposed.

No matter how powerful the world is, it can only stay in one place and cannot move.

Its physical form is both the source of its power and the anchor point it cannot escape; its actions are limited by its territory, and the projection of its power is subject to delays and losses.

Those who surpass them are different! They represent the ultimate sublimation of individual life, possessing near-absolute freedom and mobility.

[As long as the one who transcends can escape, the world can only watch helplessly, like a powerless husband.]

Especially in the vast and boundless void of the universe, a transcendent being determined to remain hidden and possessing the means to resist the tracking of the greater world is like a drop of water falling into the ocean.

In other words, the transcendent can employ the most unscrupulous and efficient tactics: hit and run.

[Target a vulnerable periphery, resource-rich area, or key node in a major world, launch a swift and devastating raid or sabotage operation, regardless of the scale of the gains, and escape millions of light-years away before the enemy's main force can react.]

[Afterwards, the gains will be processed or the next operation will be planned in a completely unrelated location.]

[Grab a share now, then expand elsewhere.]

This kind of interstellar guerrilla warfare would be a nightmare for a vast world with a large scale, slow mobilization, and a need to consider the overall situation.

Defense costs will rise indefinitely, and the authority of spheres of influence will be continuously eroded.

Thinking of this, the three great worlds—the Abyss, the Spirit Realm, and Hell—who felt a direct threat, fell into a chilling and urgent silence despite their deep-seated conflicts.

They need to reassess the weight of individual transcendents on the strategic scales and consider countermeasures.

This silence reflects the instinctive vigilance and calculation of the old hegemon in the face of a new challenger.

In contrast, the gods reacted in the exact opposite way.

[Having witnessed firsthand the Demon God's successful ascension and his toying with the Abyss, countless gods trapped in the realm of True Gods, yearning for the future, were plunged into endless fervor.]

The success of the Inner Demon God is like a lightning bolt piercing the eternal night, illuminating a practical path to a higher level!

That resolute sacrifice of existing authority in pursuit of pure rules, and the power displayed after ascension—enough to briefly contend with or even contend with the greater world—gave all true gods real hope.

The thirst for power, the pursuit of eternity, and the discontent with the existing order are ignited at this moment, transforming into a raging fire of ambition.

[Within the ranks of the true gods of the universe, the undercurrents have transformed into a surging tide.]

In September of the 236th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, as the shockwaves from the escape of the Heart Demon God subsided and undercurrents intensified, a rare and secret meeting took place.

[The Will of Hell, the weakest of the three worlds, yet thus the most astute and calculating player honed in the cracks, took the initiative to host, constructing a temporary secret space.]

Then, He pulled the projections of the will of the abyss and the will of the spirit world into this space.

[These three great worlds, these three old rivals who have been fighting and devouring each other for billions of years, are now setting aside their disputes and holding a discussion here about the future order, out of concern for a common threat.]

The atmosphere was heavy and eerie.

The first words spoken by the Will of Hell were that all three parties should temporarily set aside their past conflicts and goals.

[Especially the Abyss, we can't attack it carelessly anymore!]

Otherwise, He will terminate this temporary global cooperation! (End of Chapter)
