My profession panel inspires loyalty.

In this transaction, as long as both parties get what they want, it can't be considered a scam!

The Star Demon looked at you, its eyes sparkling with starlight.

Are you confident you can help us?

And all that's required is a negligible amount of time.

But this is not something I can decide alone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Star Demon tossed out a Star Token.

This token allows you to contact me, and it contains a wisp of starlight power that I left behind.

[In case of danger, you can be kept safe.]

I don't ask much of you. If you can help me suppress my divinity within a hundred years, then you will be my greatest contributor!

[In August of the 142nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, ten Supreme Lords of the Star Demon Clan tore open a spatial rift and appeared above the Crimson Heart Society.]

Just as the Red Heart Society was on high alert, preparing to unleash demigod-level military might to deliver a fatal blow to these uninvited guests, you simply waved your hand.

The next moment, ten supreme lords of the Star Demon race knelt on one knee in your direction.

They weren't kneeling before you, but rather for the star token hanging at your waist.

[Star Demon Clan Rules!]

[See the token!]

[It's like seeing our progenitor!]

[After these ten Star Demon Clan Supreme Lords arrived, they stated that they would obey all your commands for the next hundred years.]

Even if you told them to die immediately, they would do it without hesitation.

[You looked at this group of Star Demon Supremes and gave them your first command.]

Since you are not afraid of death, I have only one request for you.

[Regardless of the methods you use, you must accept the transformation of your sincere ideals and have the most fervent reverence for them.]

Upon hearing this, the Star Demon Supremes did not hesitate and immediately began to devote themselves to various affairs of the Red Heart Society.

The method they used was the simplest and most brutal.

[Directly integrate the definitions and theories of your sincere ideals into your soul and even your true spirit.]

When the flame of righteous indignation burns brightly in their souls, they are destined to be the most steadfast practitioners of this ideal.

However, this method only applies to beings who voluntarily undergo soul-forging.

[As long as any rebellious sentiment exists within oneself, one will either fail or perish with the collapse of one's soul and true spirit.]

Looking at the style of the Star Demon Supremes, you can tell they're all ruthless!

[Because of your lack of understanding of the Star Demon race, you begin to learn about the areas of expertise of these ten Star Demon Supremes.]

After learning about it, you became very interested.

Each Star Demon Supreme possesses immense computational power, which, combined with the Abyss Authority they wield, allows them to push their comprehension to its absolute limit.

In other words, these ten are the most outstanding research experts.

[Therefore, without any hesitation, you allowed them to join the various departments of the Red Heart Research Institute according to their respective interests.]

[With the addition of Star Demon Supreme, the Red Heart Society's major departments, including the Equipment Research Department, Array Research Department, Demon Research Department, and Armor Research Department, saw their research processes accelerate dramatically, like a reactor with a catalyst.]

The driving force behind this is quite astonishing.

However, your arrangement caused the Star Demon, who was secretly observing, to frown slightly.

He believes that with your wisdom, you should understand why he arranged for ten of your younger relatives to come to the Red Heart Society.

[As a god!]

Every action is extremely important!

They are not incapable of obeying someone's commands, but the primary prerequisite is that that person must possess the ability to inspire their obedience.

[Wasn't it said that it could enhance their abilities?]

[First, elevate these demigod descendants within the clan, let them see the light.]

Chapter 221 The Great Explosion of Red Heart Technology

[In May of the 143rd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Armor was improved.]

[This groundbreaking creation, which completely overturned the Red Heart Society's combat structure from the moment of its creation, granting it the ability to defeat even ninth-level powerhouses, has undergone countless battlefield tests, material breakthroughs, and technological iterations, resulting in an even more resilient internal structure and external claws.]

[The Star Demon Supreme of the Armor Research Department, dressed in a white lab coat, was still not entirely satisfied with the various performance characteristics of the Crimson Heart Armor.]

From his perspective as the supreme lord of the Star Demon race, the updated Crimson Heart Armor still had ridiculously poor performance in various aspects.

[Once equipped by an eighth-tier professional, they can only overpower professionals below level 93.]

Even the suppressive power of a level 5 soul domain cannot be completely blocked.

This is completely different from what he envisioned—that the armor, once worn by an eighth-rank warrior, would overwhelm the performance of a ninth-rank warrior.

So, in his view, what's the difference between this and a small ant becoming a large ant?

Ultimately, they're just ants!

Since they're all wearing armor and relying on external tools to make changes, how can it be called revolutionary armor if it's not drastically altered?

[Therefore, he began to improve the armor in the direction he envisioned.]

In August of the 144th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Soul Research Center was also undergoing a silent but far-reaching transformation.

Inside the research center's main control room, the massive soul matrix array flickered like it was breathing, flowing with billions of points of light symbolizing the trajectories of souls.

Inside the central control room, the old headmaster and Osiris, the sixth elder of the Star Demon race who had taken human form, were examining a three-dimensional model of a defensive array that covered an entire wall and was composed of pure soul rule runes.

At Osiris's suggestion, the defensive formation of the Soul Research Center underwent a major overhaul.

[Looking at this forty-ninth core node, while the Red Heart Society's original arrangement was full of rationality and wisdom, it lacked a sufficient understanding of the runes and core elements.]

As he spoke, Osiris placed the prototype design of the Star Demon Clan's Star Abyss Perpetual Barrier, along with the most detailed information, at the forefront.

The Star Abyss's Eternal Barrier is the most solid defense against the soul level, forged by the Star Demon race.

This seemingly eternal bulwark is one of the reasons why the Star Demons stand firm in the abyss.

[When the real war comes, if the Star Demon race cannot be defeated, they can hide behind the Everlasting Barrier. The enemy will have no chance of finding them, let alone attacking them.]

[Yet Osiris actually used this very precious item, so valuable to his people, as a teaching example.]

On one hand, the Star Demon race reveres their progenitor.

The ancestor's command is a law emanating from the depths of one's bloodline!

On the other hand, due to the inscription at the level of the true spirit, Osiris had completely opened his heart to the Red Hearts.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal to use design sketches from one's own mind for teaching.

According to our race's original design, the optimal solution should be to embed nine intersecting star-orbiting annihilation strings, forming a multi-layered annihilation energy field, which, under the activation of the array patterns, resonates to completely isolate the soul invasion of the will of hell.

[With this change, the efficiency of the Soul Defense Formation can be increased by 452.3%.]

As he spoke, Osiris paused slightly.

The next moment, he slowly spoke.

Although the Red Heart Society's soul defense formation can be directly adopted, I suggest abandoning the design concept of the Star Abyss Perpetual Barrier!

[This is merely a concept, using the Red Heart Society's method to recreate and fill in the inscriptions.]

The Star Demon race's knowledge system is indeed powerful, but it is the crystallization of knowledge created by our ancestors through a vast accumulation of history.

[At some point in the future, it is highly likely to become a cognitive shackle that locks away the potential of a pure heart.]

If the Crimson Hearts were to go to war with the Star Demons in the future, then the current model of the Eternal Barrier could very well become a trap for the Star Demons to use as a backdoor command to target the Crimson Hearts' defense system.

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly turned around.

[The Star Demon Clan!]

[Definitely not benevolent!]

When the grand vision of our ethnic group clashes fundamentally with the glorious path of the Red Heart Society, our high command will not hesitate to crush any obstacle.

A truly righteous defense system must be rooted in the soil of righteous civilization itself!

[This must be based on our shared ideals and will; only a soul defense line built in this way can truly be an absolute firewall that cannot be understood or easily dismantled by the Star Demon's higher-ups.]

The Red Heart Society's Soul Research Center needs to analyze the principles of the Star Abyss's eternal barrier, using Red Heart's understanding of the essence of the soul and the purification logic we've accumulated in our fight against the erosion of hell.

I find the basic theory behind that Soul Purification Potion quite interesting!

【Then!】

[Rebuild the soul defense formation, creating a unique soul barrier belonging to the Crimson Heart Grammar and within the Crimson Heart cultivation system.]

The old headmaster looked at this Supreme Lord, who appeared to be the Sixth Elder of the Star Demon Clan, and paused slightly in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, the higher-ups of the demon race in the abyss were all elders, right?

In other words, Osiris, the sixth elder of the Star Demon race, is a true high-ranking member of the Star Demon race!

However, Osiris's words just now provided the deepest analysis of the thoughts of the Star Demon race's higher-ups, represented by himself.

Even though the old headmaster knew the real reason behind Osiris's thoughts, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up for Osiris's awareness of even being wary of himself and the Star Demon race for the sake of the Red Heart Society.

Two words!

【major!】

Compared to Osiris, this group of people all seem to be only half-baked.

In June of the 145th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Equipment Research Department, located in the core area of ​​the Forge, finally ushered in a glorious milestone worthy of being etched in the history of the Crimson Heart Civilization!

[After countless sleepless nights, enduring tens of thousands of near-desperate energy overload explosions and law-rejection reactions, and drawing upon the research notes on demigod jewelry accumulated by the Red Heart Society from the previous timeline, the Equipment Research Department has finally perfected it.]

[When a vast quantity of extraordinary treasures plundered from the world of Sophia were thrown into the furnace, and when the crucial material stabilization framework provided by the ninth elder of the Star Demon race, Ostaron, was provided, an object bearing supreme power and symbolic significance was finally born.]

That's a necklace!

Its chain is composed of countless tiny, constantly rotating dark gold rune rings, and its core pendant is a drop of liquid crimson crystal that continuously flashes with the emblem of a red heart battle flag.

To commemorate this special day, the Minister of Equipment named it the "Red Heart Necklace."

In November of the 146th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Three-Headed Demon Baron, under the guidance of the Will of Hell, arrived in the Crimson Heart World through a hidden Hellish teleportation array.

[However, the magic arrays set up by the Will of Hell through the resonance of the Crimson Origin are always in the same few old locations.]

So when the three demon barons arrived, they were met by the Demon Suppression Alliance, who had been waiting for them.

Using the demigod materials from these three demonic barons, a brand new Crimson Heart Necklace was crafted.

[However, due to the numerous and unpredictable methods employed by the Will of Hell, this newly crafted Crimson Heart Necklace remains in the Equipment Department for further research and collection.]

Everything is done in service of the future!

In March of the 147th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Soul-Stabilizing Array, developed by the Soul Research Center, achieved great success in numerous trials.

[Especially with the combined efforts of the former headmaster and the Star Demon Supreme, the research on the Soul-Stabilizing Array was shrunk down and condensed into a mark that all members of the Red Heart Society could inscribe on their bodies.]

[Soul-Fixing Mark!]

This soul rune, which embodies the essence of a loyal soul, incorporates the vast knowledge system of the Star Demon Supreme, and is specifically designed to counter the Hellish Corruption Mark, can be perfectly imprinted on the brow or spiritual core of any loyal warrior whose soul strength meets the required standard.

Its core function is to combat the pollution and erosion of the will of hell through all forms of will, including the Crimson Seed, whispers, and corrupting energy.

As long as the Dharma seal exists and operates, the soul is a pure begonia!

[When a defiled soul approaches, it will be purified by the mark and fall as dew.]

This is a great victory for the Red Heart Society!

[An even more exciting additional effect for the entire Red Heart Society is its remarkable protective and weakening effect against any external mental shocks, soul-shaking, illusions, whispers of fear, and even some curses at the soul level.]

This isn't just an imprint etched deep within the soul; it's practically a sacred emblem of the soul, tailor-made for stepping onto the battlefield of hell!

[To test the miraculous effects of the Soul-Stabilizing Array as soon as possible, you decide to wage war against Hell.]

Such a revolutionary weapon must be tested by blood and fire to truly mature!
