My profession panel inspires loyalty.

"I'm stronger than you, so I can kill you at will!"

If you have family, and I'm strong enough, even if I kill you, your family will have to come to your door to apologize.

[Even if someone is in a bad mood, a massacre is perfectly normal.]

[Amidst the fiercest fighting, in other groups besieging the Lava Demon minions, there were instances of high-ranking officers massacring lower-ranking minions.]

[And this happens very frequently!]

[Especially when a large number of humans untouched by the Abyss appeared on the enemy side, it further enraged the high-ranking officers of these auxiliary armies.]

[It's been so long, and they still haven't taken it down?]

[A bunch of useless trash!]

Thus began yet another massacre perpetrated by collective punishment.

In the year 172 of the Extraordinary Era, the Lava Demon was forced into a series of defeats under siege.

During this process, the other side came to persuade them to surrender, stating that if the Lava Demon was willing to hand over all the humans it held, it could join its alliance and become a general, fighting in the north and south.

The Lava Demon refused outright.

The wise have taught that as demons of the Lava Clan, we must know what to do and what not to do.

In a critical situation where a sudden impulse arises, one should adhere to their inner convictions, even at the cost of death.

At this very moment, the matter concerning the Crimson Heart Society represents the culmination of the Lava Demon's whims.

Therefore, He activated the Life-Burning Secret Technique He had obtained from the Red Heart Society, sacrificing His own life and soul in exchange for unparalleled and terrifying power.

Fortunately, the Lava Demon's level was high enough, and its soul was strong enough.

Even under the full power of the Life-Burning Secret Technique, He could still live for another hundred years.

However, the enemy's siege is now far more intense than before.

[Even an Ice Demon, upon discovering the strange barrier in the Lava Demon's territory, directly activated the ice runes on its body, instantly shattering the barrier.]

[In a short time, the Red Heart Society suffered extensive damage.]

[One hundred thousand demons perished instantly.]

[Deng Qi's eyes widened in fury upon witnessing this scene.]

【Damn! 】

If he also possessed the immense power of level 99, he would surely have stormed up to the Ice Demon and brutally killed him!

In the 174th year of the Extraordinary Era, good news arrived.

The department responsible for the Abyss Demonic Qi cultivation techniques, which Deng Qi oversaw throughout, has achieved new results.

[At the beginning of practicing this technique, a tiny crystal will grow at the perineum.]

This crystal can refine abyssal demonic energy, transforming it into a blazing white gas.

[The incandescent white gas can accelerate the refining speed of the divinely bestowed crystals.]

Clearly, this is a groundbreaking martial art!

Unfortunately for everyone, this technique did not have the effect of clearing away the abyssal demonic energy within the body. In fact, along with the accelerated transformation, the concentration of abyssal demonic energy accumulated within the body would also increase.

After all, the conversion efficiency of tiny crystals is not high.

Deng Qi named this technique the "Red Heart Strengthening Method."

Normally speaking, this would be an absolutely divine skill, capable of changing a country, or even altering the future fate of a powerful family.

[But in this era where those with pure hearts are tormented by the demonic energy of the abyss and are on the verge of extinction, what is the significance of this technique?]

[In its final moments, the Red Heart Society poured all its manpower, resources, and funds into researching a technique to autonomously expel the demonic energy of the abyss. How did they end up with such a technique?]

[The technique is good, but it's not what the Red Heart Society needs right now.]

For a moment, Deng Qi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Good stuff!"

Lin Xia's eyes lit up when she saw this.

By converting abyssal demonic energy to increase the rate at which one refines divinely bestowed crystals, this is absolutely divine skill, right?

Other extraordinary materials and resources may be hard to find.

But isn't abyssal demonic energy everywhere?

Although after practicing the Crimson Heart Strengthening Method, demonic energy will gradually accumulate in the body through transformation, causing certain effects on the body.

However, as long as one is a professional, their body has a certain metabolic effect on the abyssal demonic energy.

The higher the professional level, physical body, and soul level, the faster the metabolic rate.

Even newly awakened professionals can use this technique to quickly improve their level.

If the demonic energy in your body accumulates to a certain threshold, you can simply leave the Abyss Battlefield, go outside to breathe some fresh air, and rest for a while.

"However, it is true that for Deng Qi, the Crimson Heart Enhancement Method is actually quite useless."

"The Red Heart Society is now trapped in the abyss and cannot leave."

“Large numbers of Red Heart Society members died one after another.”

"..."

While pondering, an idea suddenly flashed through Lin Xia's mind.

and many more!

He is now observing the future development of the Red Heart Society, and the future course of his life after his death.

So... how do we get back the Red Heart Enhancement Method that the Red Heart Society developed decades later?

"Is it possible to summon Deng Qi's will back?"

Lin Xia's eyes flickered, but the simulation interface did not react to this at all.

Perhaps, only after the future main body, that is, the Red Heart Society, is destroyed, will we know whether this matter can be accomplished.

If possible, everyone would be happy.

In essence, he directly obtained the essence of the Red Heart Society's cultivation techniques for the next few decades for free.

Whether it's developing itself or venturing into the abyss to make great strides in the future, it will be a tremendously good thing.

If that doesn't work, then all we can do is sigh helplessly.

In the year 175 of the Extraordinary Era, with the addition of other Abyss Lords, this war inevitably headed for defeat.

[The scenario of two birds fighting over a clam and a fisherman profiting from the chaos, or the ruthless beating of a drowning dog, is quite frequent.]

At the last moment, the Lava Demon concealed Deng Qi and the remaining members of the Red Heart Research Department within its nostrils, then tore through space and fled into the distance.

He failed in this battle against the Abyss Lord.

However, as long as He doesn't die, there is still hope for the future!

[In the year 176 of the Extraordinary Era, although the Lava Demon tried its best to control its magical fluctuations, the researchers of the Crimson Heart Society were far too weak compared to it. Furthermore, the assimilation of Abyssal demonic energy made it inevitable that the Lava Demon would influence them.]

Demonic scales began to grow on their bodies.

Everything is developing in an unpredictable direction.

To avoid becoming followers of demons, and to preserve the yearning for purity within their souls, these researchers, upon realizing the surging rage and bloodlust within them, did not hesitate to commit suicide.

Deng Qi stood to one side, staring blankly at the bodies of his fallen comrades.

As a ninth-tier professional, he could ignore the corrosive resistance emanating from the lava demon.

[But in this way, the once vast Red Heart Society is now reduced to just him and the Lava Demon.]

A wave of intense regret washed over Deng Qi.

What did the Red Heart Society gain from this migration plan into the abyss?

【Yes! 】

The Red Heart Society lingered on for decades, but what happened after that?

[Our compatriots were corrupted by demonic energy and died in agony.]

Large numbers of loyal soldiers were killed by the enemy in the lord war, and some even had their souls devoured, never to be reincarnated.

Even if we learn about the application of demon-shielding formations from demons, even if we combine everyone's collective wisdom and inspiration to develop the Heart Enhancement Method, which could change the world.

But what's the use of that?

Everyone is dead!

With only two sparks of patriotism remaining, he suddenly felt hopeless about life.

[I've truly failed as the third head of state!]

As Deng Qi sank into this boundless torment, the immense pressure often made him fantasize that perhaps not leaving in the first place, and instead facing life and death alongside the Red Heart Society headquarters on the distant continent, would have been the best choice.

If I hadn't left, none of us would have suffered like this.

Chapter 131 Deng Qi's Will Descends (5k)

The Lava Demon stared speechlessly at the dejected Deng Qi.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he restored his right hand to normal size during his escape, stuck it into his nostril, and slapped Deng Qi to the ground.

It's fine to be sentimental occasionally, but who are you trying to impress by putting on this pathetic act here?

Life must go on. We can't give up on this hard-won life just because life has dealt us such a heavy blow.

What good does feeling lost, anxious, and颓废 (tuí fèi, meaning decadent/dejected) here do, other than making things worse?

[They are at least ninth-level professionals. If the Red Heart Society is gone, then let's rebuild it!]

He had seen the history of the Red Heart Society; its founders had started from nothing and single-handedly built the vast organization into what it is today.

Most importantly, the situation faced by the founders of the Red Heart Society was far worse than that of Deng Qi.

Putting everything else aside, Deng Qi is at least a ninth-rank cultivator!

[If they weren't in the abyss, but in some other world, they would definitely be high-level combatants.]

Therefore, He must wake up His good brother.

This is the tradition of the Lava Demon race.

If anyone gets discouraged, give them a beating!

If he still doesn't wake up, keep beating him!

[Keep beating them until they realize what's happening!]

[In the 180th year of the Extraordinary Era, the Lord War, dominated by the will of the Abyss, has entered its second phase.]

All Abyss Lords who participated in the Lord War but are still alive will be teleported to a certain realm to fight.

During battle, the larger one's personal territory, the wider its influence, and the stronger one's subordinates and allies, the better the buffs one will receive.

This is truly bad news for lords like the Lava Demons, who have lost territory in the Abyss War.

[Furthermore, defeating other Abyss Lords within this realm and devouring them will grant you the Abyss's blessing.]

Clearly, the so-called Abyss Lord War is nothing more than a game of breeding predators.

In the year 182 of the Extraordinary Era, the Lava Demon discovered a severely wounded Abyss Lord.

After observing for some time, the lava demon began to stir.

However, Deng Qi believed that the combination of a secluded wilderness, a severely wounded lord, and a confined space strongly suggested a trap.

As everyone knows, there's no such thing as a free lunch; usually, it's a trap.

Hearing this, the lava demon suppressed the agitation within him.

But he really wanted to devour this abyss lord, hoping to receive the abyss's blessing.

Otherwise, if they fight to the very end, they might not even be able to leave this realm.

However, just as the lava demon was about to give in, a fire demon attacked from afar, targeting the heavily wounded lord.
