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

【Ahhhhhh————】

With a roar that shattered the shackles of the void, Agrelius's undying fighting spirit, accumulated over a century, and his complete understanding of the rules of battle underwent a qualitative transformation.

[Immediately afterwards, a crimson-gold divine flame, purely manifested from the will to fight and the rules, ignited from its core soul, illuminating the entire Martial Arts Realm.]

[Agrius, this warrior of the Red Heart Society, has successfully ascended to become the God of War of Rules!]

[In the previous timeline, according to memories observed from the future, Agris also reached the pinnacle of true godhood, possessing formidable combat power approaching the peak of the first tier. His combat skills and understanding of the rules had reached their zenith.]

Therefore, even without the nourishment of the primordial energy plundered from the greater world that it once relied on, it can still succeed solely based on its solid foundation forged through two different timelines and its indomitable will.

Through His own power, He completed that crucial leap in a relatively short period of time, ascending to become a true god.

The transformation from a demigod of rules to a true god of rules is a leap in the level of life, an insurmountable chasm that countless geniuses cannot cross in their entire lives.

[To ascend from demigod to true god in just over a hundred years—this speed is astonishing, a testament to extraordinary talent, regardless of whether it's in a world with a long history and abundant geniuses, or an era of great upheaval and heroes.]

[While Agris's achievements within the Red Heart Society are inspiring, he can at best be considered a pioneer who succeeded under specific historical circumstances and conditions.]

This is not intended to belittle its achievements, but rather a realistic assessment based on the unprecedentedly strong foundation currently possessed by the Red Heart Society.

[Because behind Him, within the Red Heart Society—inspired by memories of the future, nourished by the legacy of the era of demigods, and further motivated by the breakthroughs of the founder and the Heart Demon God—a large number of elites with both excellent character and opportunity are at the pinnacle of rule-based demigods.]

They are making their final sprint and refinement on their respective paths of rules, about to touch that barrier and ascend to true godhood.

[Aglaus, like the first swallow heralding spring, foreshadows an unprecedented wave of the birth of a true god within the Red Heart Society, which is imminent.]

The Red Heart Society's elite combat force structure is about to undergo an explosive upgrade.

[While the Red Heart Society tried its best to conceal the fluctuations in rules and the aura of a war god caused by Agris's ascension, such a qualitative change in the rules was still difficult to completely hide from those supreme beings who were extremely sensitive to changes in the rules.]

This promotion was like rubbing salt into an already bleeding wound in the abyss—salt bearing the mark of the Red Heart Society—once again irritating the abyss's will, which had become sensitive and suspicious due to repeated blows.

[In the perception of the Abyss's will, there is yet another being with intricate connections to the Abyss.]

[Lava Demon!]

This is one of the more powerful demon bloodlines in the abyss!

Now, yet another demon has stepped onto the path of divine rules.

Even the usually gloating Hellish Will and the calmly observing Spirit Realm Will felt a pang of pity for the Abyss Will when they sensed that the source of Agris's ascension fluctuations seemed to have some indirect connection to the Abyss.

[For no reason at all, trouble, bad luck, and unpleasant things happen again, all because of the other side of the abyss.]

[First, the two most powerful top-tier demon gods defected and ascended to godhood. Now, even a demon warrior who seems completely unrelated, appearing out of nowhere, has ascended to the level of a true god of rules, all seemingly connected to the Abyss.] [Could it be that that damned path to godhood of rules, which seems capable of mass-producing powerful beings, is actually quite suitable for the demon race of the Abyss?]

This absurd and ironic question is not a serious academic discussion, but rather a satirical jab at the utterly unfortunate situation of the abyss, yet it also subtly reflects a sense of unease.

If the Path of Rules truly possesses a special affinity for the beings of the Abyss, it means that the Abyss, this treasure trove of geniuses, might give birth to many true gods of rules—something no great world wants to see.

At this moment, it wasn't just the Will of the Abyss that had this thought, tinged with self-mockery and resentment.

[The countless gods who witnessed the overwhelming battle spirit and the baptism of rules during Agris's ascension ceremony—whether through various secret channels, magical observations, or simply from nearby star systems—all saw it.]

Whether they belong to the spirit world, heaven, hell, or other independent pantheons, this wondrous thought has crossed their minds as well.

[Agrius's intense and pure combat principles share a natural similarity with the talents of races such as Abyssal Lava Demons and Berserkers.]

This inevitably leads many true gods to wonder if the environment of the abyss, with its extreme pressure, chaos, and fighting instincts, is particularly suitable for nurturing certain pure combat, destruction, and fire-related rules?

If that's true, then the Abyss is practically a goldmine, yet to be fully explored, that exclusively produces potential candidates for the Divine Path of Rules!

Thus, driven by greed, curiosity, and an ultimate thirst for power, a secret and daring experiment quietly unfolded among some of the top true gods.

The first to act were several true gods of the spirit realm, who belonged to the spirit world but were relatively active in their thinking and less bound by the established promotion system of the spirit world.

Their actions were truly bizarre, all in an effort to verify the effectiveness of the divine rules governing the beings of the abyss.

[To avoid endangering their true selves or provoking the hostility of the abyss's will, they safely fix their true selves and the vast majority of their power in the spirit world, then secretly reincarnate using a carefully disguised wisp of their soul.]

Then, through some ancient pact or causal entanglement between themselves and the Abyss, or simply through secretly purchased sources of contamination as a medium, they carefully reincarnated this fragment of soul into the Abyss.

Ultimately, he was reincarnated as a demon with superior bloodline.

[A dignified true god of the spirit realm actually wants to try walking the path of divine rules from scratch, in the body of a demon.]

This was a great attempt!

If successful, this vast universe may witness a frenzied wave of abyssal reincarnation.

For the powerful rulers of Hell who also craved power and knew the Abyss inside and out, their choices were simpler, and their actions bolder.

After all, the Abyss and Hell have been locked in a love-hate relationship for so many years, their influence running deep. They also have countless overt and covert connections with the Abyss Gods, and even possess some secret backdoors.

Therefore, arranging a targeted reincarnation would be incredibly easy for them. (End of Chapter)
