My profession panel inspires loyalty.

This is the real solution!

[Using the tools you've created, you and the Red Heart Society's future will ultimately be buried by these tools!]

There was nothing they could do; even true god-level combat power was being intercepted by the demon god.

[And that dimensional reduction attack, powerful enough to destroy the Crimson Heart World, was forced to retreat and defend itself due to the Abyss's overwhelming invasion.]

[It's just that the Crimson Heart World was lucky with the timing; otherwise, Hell would have definitely made the Crimson Heart World meet the two kings!]

Almost simultaneously with the completion of the parasitic implantation of the Hellish Will's power, a seductive and twisted whisper originating from the very essence of the world began to spread like a plague across every corner covered by the Red Heart World Will.

This voice did not originate from the outside world, but seemed to emerge from the depths of every living being's heart, carrying an eerie warmth and a promise to release chaos.

The snow on the mountain peaks began to spontaneously solidify into twisted, human-shaped ice sculptures, emitting eerie howling sounds towards the sky.

The tranquil lake in the forest no longer reflects the blue sky and green trees, but rather the silhouettes of countless souls wailing in agony.

Deep within the ocean trenches, an unprecedented, nightmarish behemoth, resembling a jumbled mess of dismembered limbs, slowly opened its murky, crazed eyes.

They are born from disorder, following chaotic instincts, like deformed growths spontaneously sprouting from the fertile soil of order in the world of pure hearts.

This is the second seed sown by the will of hell: a destructive creation called the Hell Spore.

Before the war ends, the methods of hell will torment this newborn world until it submits to hell.

If anything unexpected happens, there's no need to worry.

Ultimately, the Abyss won't attack Hell indefinitely.

Once the war in the abyss ends, destruction and being devoured will still be the fate of the Crimson Heart World!

[A world that harms Hell will never be spared by Hell!]

Even if the Red Heart World's schemes against Hell stemmed from Hell's invasion of the Red Heart World, this factor was ultimately insignificant in this world war.

I'll destroy you!

What's it to you?

Chapter 229 The Red Heart Society's Countermeasures

In May of the 166th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, facing this nascent-level erosion originating from the core of the world and directly targeting the very essence of the soul, the Soul-Fixing Mark, upon which the Crimson Heart Society relied to resist the invasion of Hell, underwent an emergency iteration to adapt to the battlefield.

The Soul-Fixing Mark, which once served on the battlefields of Hell's invasion, proved to be overly cumbersome and uneconomical in the face of this low-intensity, wide-ranging, and slow-moving form of primal pollution, due to its complex runic structure and extremely high requirements for soul capacity.

This is like using heavy fortress cannons to bombard ubiquitous microscopic dust and bacteria—costly and with limited effectiveness.

Therefore, the Soul-Fixing Mark has undergone extensive changes based on the current urgent situation.

[Through the combined efforts of everyone at the Soul Research Center, a brand-new defensive plan tailored to the current unique battle situation has been developed: the Spirit Imprint is rapidly taking shape.]

The Spirit Imprint is derived from the underlying logic of the Soul-Stabilizing Imprint, but it is more like a sophisticated energy probe and dynamic filter.

Its rune array has been greatly simplified, and the core material uses a sub-soul resonance alloy that can be mass-produced, significantly lowering the manufacturing threshold.

[It is implanted on the outer edge of the professional's mental consciousness, acting like a layer of intelligent light membrane that provides a certain degree of defense for the professional's soul.]

[At the same time, it will constantly scan the host's soul fluctuations. Once it detects the chaotic pollution frequency or subtle mental manipulation disturbance unique to the second will of the Hell Core, the main body of the imprint will turn from blue to red.]

The intuitive color changes are like a real-time pollution monitor installed on the soul.

More importantly, it suffers from a logical trap: any attempt to bypass imprint monitoring, block detection mechanisms, or even forcibly erase imprints will be considered a highly contaminated signal.

[In the moments before its destruction, the mark will forcibly upload all its recorded soul waveform samples, location coordinates, behavioral logs, and even core fragments of the last energy conflict to the Fifth Generation of the Red Heart.]

[No mercy or room for delay!]

The soul engineers who led the development of the Spirit Imprints had cold eyes, like divine craftsmen fine-tuning a god-slaying weapon.

According to their comprehensive investigation, genetic pollution at the physiological level can be purified, erosion at the energy level can be dispelled, and the shackles of the soul contract can be broken.

However, those beings whose minds are warped by hellish energy, whose soul cores are completely replaced, and who no longer identify with the name 'Pure Heart,' are absolute enemies!

Those who have lost their unwavering faith, or even those who seek to exterminate it, are no longer comrades-in-arms of the Red Heart Society!

They need to be eliminated!

In other words, a new struggle... has begun!

[In the same month, a supreme mobilization order for the Red Heart Defense, bearing the imprint of your will as the founder, was issued through five generations of Red Hearts, covering every corner of the Red Heart territory.]

The core of the instruction is very simple, yet it contains a wealth of information.

[All registered professionals belonging to the Red Heart Society, regardless of rank, position, or region.]

[Effective immediately, the Soul Purification Act is being implemented!]

Everyone must have a Spirit Imprint implanted!

Those who disobey orders will be treated as traitors!

This order is not a suggestion, but the ironclad rule for the future survival of the Red Heart Society!

No room for discussion!

The Red Heart Society will use this firewall, implanted in everyone's soul, to keep the seeds of corruption from reaching civilization!

However, the shadow of the hell spores' infiltration is far more sinister than the command center's simulations suggest.

Its true terror lies not in its instantaneous outburst, but in the slow erosion of the foundation of trust.

[Of course, the implantation work proceeded as efficiently as planned in the garrisons of the main forces of the Red Heart Army and the combined forces of the Demon Suppression and Red Heart regiments.]

The deeply ingrained ideological imprint acts as a cornerstone of faith, ensuring that these core members execute top directives with near-absolute precision.

[Zero accidents!]

[Zero resistance!]

【Very smoothly!】

But in the vast, peripheral territories far from the heart of power, a storm arose.

[A torrent of blind panic, maliciously instigated by the parasites of hell, is beginning to erupt!]

Even worse, some began spreading rumors within the Red Heart Society, claiming that its higher-ups intended to directly control the souls of all professionals through the Spirit Imprint.

From now on, the life and death of all professionals will be under the control of the Red Heart Society's higher-ups.

Of course, there are countless claims that the Spirit Imprint absorbs the souls of professionals, makes everyone stupid, and greatly reduces the combat power of professionals.

After all, the Red Heart Society is now too large, and there are far too many professionals within it.

A large forest naturally has all kinds of birds.

Even though those holding important positions in the Red Heart Society are all possessors of the ideological seal, and are officials in charge of various regions, they have all undergone your guidance and vetting.

[Abilities vary, and especially in this chaotic era of invading hellish energy, it's quite normal for situations to arise that are beyond the control of the local Red Heart branch.]

[Actually, as long as the Red Heart Army doesn't fall into chaos, and as long as everyone in the Joint Regiment has the ideological imprint, then the Red Heart Society won't fall into chaos!]

However, Lin Xue immediately began dealing with the matter.

First, we must pave the way with the imprint of thought.

Secondly, the shadow guards and inner guards must pinpoint all key nodes that have lost contact!

[Authorized use of the Anti-Chaos Purification Matrix!]

[Following this, the Soul Tribunal initiated its highest-level internal review procedure, immediately placing all those responsible for the data breach and members of the contact chain under soul detection!]

[Any instance of a mental gap detected—permanent confinement!]

[Finally, a declaration to the entire realm: This is a battle for the survival of the loyal! It is either enemy or friend! It is either pure or impure!]

[In August of the 167th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Shadow Guards began patrolling the eight directions according to your orders.]

As high-level professionals, they possess extremely strong soul perception abilities, naturally giving them methods to detect lies.

[Once they detect a lie, they will follow the trail and investigate.]

Of course, if during their patrols they discover anyone without a Spiritual Mark, that line of work must be thoroughly investigated from top to bottom.

Anyone found to have problems will be dealt with seriously!

In this chaotic era of Hell's invasion, they have the responsibility and obligation to purge heretics and eradicate Hell's demons!

The perfect world, forged with countless drops of blood and sacrifices by the Red Heart Society, must not be allowed to be destroyed by creatures corrupted by hell!

Even if they bear the infamy, they will use their sharp knives to eradicate it all!

Anyone who stands in their way will be killed!

Even if they are their parents or relatives!

Chapter 230 The Star Demon Clan and the Red Heart Society's Two-Way Performance

[Thanks to the dual soul defenses established by the Soul Anchoring of the Thought Imprint, the Soul-Fixing Imprint, and the Spirit-Nourishing Imprint, the monstrous waves unleashed by the Hell Spores were ultimately withstood, just as planned.]

The chaotic tide of hellish corruption was forcefully suppressed during the mandatory cleansing operation.

The scorched earth in the peripheral regions, corroded by crimson, melted away rapidly under the crushing force of the absolute will led by the holders of the thought imprint, like frost exposed to the scorching sun.

Those who resisted and whose minds were alienated were crushed into cosmic dust by the Red Heart Army's iron fist of order, along with their distorted souls and consciousness.

After the once rampant rumors and panic were thoroughly suppressed, only the embers of ruins and cold, hard law enforcement records remained.

[This seemingly high-impact event is, on the Red Heart Society's highest strategic sandbox, merely a red dot marked as a localized secondary security incident.]

[As you survey the ever-surging tide of transformation across the entire Red Heart world, the disturbances at the edges and the erosion of hellish energy are but minor ailments, thanks to the Red Heart's well-prepared soul defenses!]

The real key to victory lies not in the loss of even a single inch of ground, but in the qualitative leap at the peak!

The Crimson Heart World is at the critical point of breaking through to a higher world level, like a star core compressed to its limit. If successful, the will of this world, which has given birth to miracles, will be able to bear an even more vast origin and nurture more rule-based demigods.

Meanwhile, the Red Heart Society also dispatched numerous exploration and reconnaissance teams to survey other unknown coordinates within the Abyss.

The improvements brought by one Sofia world are still not enough.

If a few more, or even dozens more, from other worlds were to receive nourishment, then the Crimson Heart World might truly give birth to an existence capable of rivaling the true gods of hell!

According to Zhou Mo's calculations and those of the Cultivation Technique Research Department, a True God of Rules is a powerful being comparable to a Demon God!

Only when a true god of rules emerges from the Red Heart Society can that society truly shed its lowly position of being mere fodder and earn the right to engage in a genuine dialogue with Hell.

Before this, all the chaos was merely the embers of purgatory sharpening its blade.

[That same month, within the Demon Research Department, in the Starlight Secret Realm jointly created by Osiris and other Star Demon Supremes, Osiris carefully examined the "Path Map of the Molten Core" meticulously drawn by Zhou Mo for Agris.]

When Osiris saw the most impressive section, a rare, instinctive interest flickered across his face, which was composed of stellar energy.

That line of thinking, built upon the resonance of pure rules and ultimately severing the ties of origin for transformation, shattered Osiris's millennia-old cognitive barriers like lightning.

[Those who achieve supreme power by relying on the rules of their tribe, and after attaining that power, strip away external forces, leaving only the rules that best suit their talents and interests to govern.]

【interesting!】

[Very interesting!]

In Osiris's view, although this path was created by humans, its core logic of de-attachment and purification of the true self might be able to break through the illusion for Him!

[A faint thought also erupted in His mind.]

[If I could also transcend the star-studded imprint of the Star Demon race and embrace the origins of the stellar rules beyond the abyss with the purest of hearts, like a child, what a sight that would be!]

Perhaps that will be a path to true godhood that doesn't rely on the will of the abyss!

[This is my path, the path of the gods, belonging to Osiris!]

When He revealed to Zhou Mo his idea of ​​transforming "Heart of Molten Fire" into "Starry Sky Nirvana Path," Zhou Mo's eyes flickered with interest.

The limits of the Demon Research Department are directly related to the existence of demons such as Agrelius.

[If we can use Osiris's opportunity to explore the path to demigodhood, or even the path to true godhood, to provide the Demon Research Department with a stable channel for advancement through rules, it might greatly increase the Red Heart Society's combat strength.]

This may be the key factor that allowed Agarius and other abyssal demons to completely break free from the shackles of the abyss.

For a master like Zhou Mo, with just a little thought, a far more efficient and macroscopic approach than bottom-up deduction took shape in his mind.

[Reverse engineering!]

Using the "Starry Sky Nirvana Path," a magnificent edifice soon to be built by Osiris himself, as a blueprint, and drawing upon their comprehensive understanding of the cultivation methods, they collectively deduced and constructed the foundation for this towering structure.

This would be an impossible feat for ordinary researchers, but for Zhou Mo and Osiris at this moment, it was merely an attempt by two top researchers to work together to deduce the foundation structure from the blueprints of the Star Temple.
