My profession panel inspires loyalty.

Although the Red Heart Society harbors a natural animosity towards aristocratic families and nobles, they've also heard that as long as they don't act like nobles or bully Red Heart Society members, they'll generally be fine.

[In the same month, after learning about the Crimson Heart Refining Method from you, the White Eagle Emperor sent you a trade request.]

[You used the Crimson Heart Refining Technique to replace the White Eagle Empire's top military research personnel.]

These are all top talents poached from all over the world by the White Eagle Empire, and now they've benefited the Red Heart Society.

In July of the 140th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after several months of effort, the Red Heart Society expanded its territory to an area nearly the size of a federal province.

[You have named this province the War Province, signifying that from today onward, the war against the Abyss will commence 300 kilometers of the Red Heart Society's eastern border defense line.]

Perhaps due to their proximity to the Abyss Pillar of Light, the war-torn provinces are almost all large demonic lairs, and their numbers are more than three times that of the Red Heart Society's provinces.

Even if there are many large demon caves, none pose as great a threat as a level 98 Abyss Lord.

Most importantly, a large number of skilled craftsmen and various machines from the Red Heart Society have arrived at key locations throughout the war province via teleportation arrays. They will construct fortresses, build defenses, and set up checkpoints at these locations to prevent future invasions from the Abyss.

In August of the 140th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, as traces of humanity increased in the war-torn provinces, members of the Red Heart Society, located in these provinces, frequently felt a surge of joy and found themselves tireless in their work.

Just when everything seemed to be going well, the Abyss Gateway, located outside the Eastern Frontier and now in the heart of the war province, suddenly erupted with pure abyssal currents.

[Amidst the surging tides of the abyss, the concentration of the abyss within the entire world has increased once more.]

[But just as the abyssal current reached a certain point, the world's will above the heavens intervened.]

【boom! 】

The pitch-black abyss current transformed into countless specks, instantly engulfing the entire war-torn province.

[And as human intentions remind you, you see the expression of the world's will in these scattered details.]

[My child, thank you for reclaiming the lost territories of the world.]

【Now! 】

This territory, which you have reclaimed, will receive the world's blessings.

Without any hesitation, you directly chose the World Blessing effect that enhances the refining speed of Divine Crystals.

Although it contains the World Blessing effect that enhances the speed of battle qi refinement, in the current situation, the refining speed of divinely bestowed crystals is far superior to that of battle qi refinement.

That very evening, you solemnly announced to the entire Red Heart Society that the War Province possessed the powerful effect of being blessed by the world.

The world was shaken.

The following day, the old general found you and said that several ninth-level professionals from destroyed nations, along with a group of high-level professionals, hoped to come to the Red Heart Society's war province to help the Red Heart Society fight against the Abyss Army.

You know all too well what these level-nine professionals are up to.

However, as long as the other party can contribute even a little on the battlefield, then the Red Heart Society won't lose out on this deal.

Most importantly, if the war provinces are taken back by the Abyss, then this effect will be lost.

The news that reclaiming lands occupied by the Abyss would bring world blessings spread rapidly throughout the world.

After this news broke, some powerful forces hidden in the shadows of the world began to emerge.

These powerful factions, possessing ninth-tier professionals, favor small countries surrounded by less abyssal demonic tides.

[Simply by conquering these small countries and then implementing some concealment or defensive formations, they can enjoy the blessings of the world within these small countries.]

Even the White Eagle Emperor took similar measures, mobilizing the nation's top military forces to reclaim the Duchy of Leon, a mere city in the White Eagle Empire thousands of miles away, and then setting up large-scale teleportation arrays in two locations.

[Royal family members and their elite troops, when the situation is less dangerous, enter to refine the divinely bestowed crystals and rapidly increase their strength.]

[The United States, far across the ocean, also used a hidden teleportation array they left behind to send a group of elite battle squadrons here.]

They acted swiftly, secretly recapturing a duchy before beginning to fortify the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, prominent families and nobles from across the country began flocking to this area.

[Amidst massive investment and construction, the speed at which the extraordinary individuals proactively built the city surpassed everyone's imagination.]

In an extremely short time, a city inscribed with array patterns and boasting impressive defensive capabilities was completed.

What no one expected was that the abyss's counterattack was exceptionally fierce.

In September of the 140th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, large numbers of Abyss Lords of level 90 and above began to appear in countries and forces that successfully reclaimed lost territory and had Abyss Battlefields within their borders.

At the same time, the Abyss Lord's retinue and servants also appeared.

[For those organizations whose bases are not located, the newly emerged Abyss Lords will locate their soul aura and lead their minions in a relentless hunt for them.]

[In the Abyss Battlefield of the Red Heart Society, a team of Abyss Titans at level 95 or higher has emerged, with the leader of the Abyss Titans reaching level 99.]

Level 99 and level 98 are only one level apart.

[These are extraordinary beings; the higher their level, the greater the difference between each level.]

[Above level 99, there's level 100!]

Level 100—that's a realm never before explored by humankind.

Some speculate that it might be the realm of God!

Therefore, the Abyss Titan leader simply stood there, and the soul pressure emanating from him caused the high-level mage who cast the detection spell to cough up blood as a backlash.

According to historical records, the most powerful human professional in history was only level 96.

In search of a way out, this professional ventured alone into the depths of the abyss battlefield, and has since disappeared without a trace.

The appearance of the level 99 Deep Titan boss now only exacerbates the already dire situation for humanity.

Most importantly, even if the Titan leader doesn't make a move, the dozen or so Abyss Titans of level 95 or higher surrounding it are enough to destroy all the defensive lines established by the Red Heart Society in the Abyss Battlefield.

Just as you gave the order for everyone to prepare to evacuate, an unexpected scene unfolded.

The Abyss Titan leader seemed very unhappy with his sudden appearance, roaring angrily towards the sky and speaking in an ancient Titan language that no one could understand.

The other Abyss Titans were doing the same thing, roaring to the sky and spewing profanities.

The Abyss Titans seemed unconcerned about the Red Heart Society's defensive line not far away.

They're just a bunch of ants; what's more important than their affairs?

However, while the other side disregarded the Red Heart Society, the Red Heart Society had no choice but to disregard them.

Therefore, under your command, Redheart will prepare to close the Abyss Battlefield at any time.

[Furthermore, beneath the feet of the Demon Sealing Battle Group and each of the Guardian Battle Groups lies a high-speed teleportation array leading to the Red Heart Society's war province.]

Although it consumed a great deal of extraordinary resources, it was absolutely worth it.

[In November of the 140th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the defensive array of the Winter Empire's capital was activated, and the Winter Empire reached its most dangerous juncture of destruction.]

[In December of the 140th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Winter Emperor, considering the power of the Crimson Heart Society, sent you a private message.]

He hopes that the Winter Royal Family will seek refuge in the Red Heart Society's war province. In return, they will hand over all the wealth accumulated by the Winter Empire over thousands of years.

[At the same time, the Winter Empire's army, led by the Winter Royal Family, will also be under your command, fighting to defend the war-torn province.]

You don't truly support the idea that the Winter Royal Family came to seek refuge here.

Given the nature of the Winter Royal Family, will they abide by the Red Heart Society's rules and regulations?

If the Red Heart Society truly accepts and even shelters the other party, and allows them to reside in a war-torn province, wouldn't that contradict the Red Heart Society's principles?

The wealth accumulated by the Winter Royal Family over a thousand years may be tempting, but you have to consider whether they will cause trouble once they arrive.

If the Winter Royal Family harbors ambitions to restore their kingdom, would it disrupt the Red Heart Society's plans?

[While you were silently contemplating, the Winter Emperor, for reasons unknown, began to urge you on in a very anxious manner.]

A moment later, he abruptly changed his tone and began threatening the Red Heart Society.

The other party indicated that if the Red Heart Society did not accept them, the Winter Empire would not rule out using any means necessary to launch a comprehensive attack on the Red Heart Society.

[The Red Heart Society does indeed possess the capability to intercept forbidden weapons.]

[But what if all the forbidden military weapons the Winter Empire had accumulated were dumped on the heads of the Abyss Lords besieging the Winter Empire's capital?]

Among them is a level 98 Frost Demon.

If the opponent absorbs all the forbidden power, will a mutation occur?

[Can the Crimson Heart Society withstand a level 98 super-mutated Abyss Lord, or even a level 99 super-powerful Lord?]

[In the vicinity of the present-day Winter Empire, almost all the other nations have been destroyed, except for the Crimson Heart Society.]

Finally, the Winter Emperor smirked, as if he felt he had you completely under his control.

[To the esteemed founders of the Red Heart Society!]

[After the mutated Frost Demons destroy the Winter Empire, in which direction do you think they will attack?]

Chapter 123 Lava Demon: I am deaf, blind, and my soul is shielded (5k)

[Looking at the Winter Emperor's face, you've already made your decision.]

Since they insist on this, we have no choice but to lure them into the trap.

What do you think?

[He's supposed to be the emperor of a country, doesn't he have any political acumen?]

[They've already decided to seek refuge with the Red Heart Society, yet they're still talking so arrogantly, still trying to coerce and bribe them?]

[You think Chixin is too kind, and you'll be able to kill him, right?]

[Or does the Winter Empire believe that the recent influx of high-level foreign professionals into the war provinces warrants consideration of the Red Heart Society's implications?]

[Absolutely not needed!]

The main force of the Red Heart Society in fighting against the Abyss remains the Red Heart Battle Group, the Demon Sealing Battle Group, the Guardian Battle Group, and the Red Heart Army.

High-level professionals from outside the field can only offer limited assistance in this process.

If the existence of these high-level professionals disrupts the normal operation of the Red Heart Society, you will also eliminate them all without hesitation!

When a force fails to provide assistance, or even risks disrupting the internal stability of the Red Heart Society, then it becomes an enemy!

However, for the sake of the Winter Empire's millennia-old reserves, you decide to play along with the Winter Emperor in a charade.

In January of the 141st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Crown Prince Frostwinter led a large contingent of the Frostwinter royal family to the War Province.

[Under your guidance, Lin Xue has planned out an area for the Winter Royal Family.]

The Crown Prince of Winter knew they were on the territory of the Red Heart Society, so he behaved amiably and even voluntarily provided one-third of the Winter Empire's millennium-long reserves.

To demonstrate their sincerity, the Winter Royal Family even brought out a hidden technology: legendary equipment crafting technology.

[It turns out that legendary quality equipment can also be crafted by hand.]

[Unexpected!]

[Amazing!]

[Although the materials used in this process are of ridiculously high quality.]

However, some of the viewpoints and theories within this technology are still quite insightful.

Out of curiosity about the legendary forging techniques, the former headmaster, along with the Crimson Heart Armor research team, came to observe.

In February of the 141st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, before the fall of the Winter Empire, the Winter Emperor led his guards to the war province via a teleportation array.

Under normal circumstances, according to diplomatic protocol, a person of equal status should come to greet them.

At the very least, he should be the number two person.

[But this time, the one welcoming Emperor Frosty Winter was Zhao Feng, the Deputy Minister of the Internal Affairs Department of the Red Heart Society.]

The Winter Emperor was fully aware of the situation, but he felt even more contempt for your narrow-mindedness.

But in your opinion, you don't have time to play house with a dead person.

In March of the 141st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after receiving the Winter Empire's millennium-old reserves, the Crimson Heart Society quickly and systematically distributed these resources throughout the entire army.

The members of the Red Heart Army and the Winter Army have been upgraded with new weapons, greatly increasing their combat strength.

In April of the 141st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Winter Royal Family and other prominent figures died mysteriously and suddenly.

The Red Heart Society announced that the outbreak of a massive demonic cave had brought a lord imbued with abyssal poison to the vicinity.

The highly corrosive venom also appears to carry a bloodline curse.

Therefore, the entire Winter Royal Family and all other members of the family perished, leaving no trace of their remains.
