My profession panel inspires loyalty.

[Wang Meng!]

He devoted himself entirely to the Red Heart Society, fighting until his body collapsed and his soul was consumed!

[His illustrious achievements, shouldn't earn him even the most basic kindness and respect from the Chixin Society for his widow?]

Does this align with the sacred laws you proclaim from the heavens above, laws that last for eternity?

Is everyone equal?

[Should we treat the families of heroes well?]

How ironic!

As she spoke, her tone shifted, tinged with pride and resentment.

In terms of talent and ability, I once held the reins of light in the spirit world and commanded billions of believers. How could I possibly be compared to the likes of the Star Demon God or the Heart Demon God?

[If they can ascend to the throne of the rules through their authority, why can't I, the Goddess of Light?]

[From both a moral and rational standpoint, the righteous sect should help me achieve the status of the God of Light and Rule!]

But what was the result?

Is this the "pure and honest" ideal you all claim to uphold?

【hypocritical!】

[Cold-blooded!]

As the accusations reached their climax, the holy light surrounding her suddenly dimmed, transforming into glistening tears that fell, perfectly portraying the widow of a hero forgotten by her organization and betrayed by the world.

[His sorrowful demeanor was enough to bring tears to the eyes of those unaware of the truth, and his sharp words directly attacked the very foundation of the Red Heart Society.]

However, under your unfathomable gaze, on her face constructed of pure light energy, what you see is not genuine grief, but a meticulously rehearsed performance, a relentless pressure disguised as morality.

You remained silent as a mountain, letting the sacred tears and poignant accusations echo within the council chamber.

[This goddess of light is truly eloquent.]

[If you hadn't experienced the cycle of time and space, and understood the world-destroying hatred that the previous Heavenly Goddess held for the Red Heart Society, if you hadn't known Wang Meng's complex and almost disgusted true feelings towards the Goddess of Light.]

Furthermore, she was nothing more than a plaything to Wang Meng over the past few centuries.

[That is, Wang Meng is not here, which is why the Goddess of Light dared to come here, declaring herself Wang Meng's wife and assuming the role of his widow, along with related resources.]

In the previous timeline, the Goddess of Light also participated in the divine war that destroyed the Red Heart Society.

[It was precisely at this opportune moment that the Goddess of Light was punished by the will of the spirit realm, causing turmoil in the divine kingdom and the loss of control over the authority of light.]

Furthermore, the divine knowledge within the Goddess of Light's mind, coupled with the divine artifacts of light she wields, strongly promotes the scientific research and development of the Red Heart Society.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be alive today!

If you didn't know these things, you'd probably be completely fooled by her superb acting skills, even as she poured her heart out in tears.

Yes, if it weren't for this prior knowledge, based solely on her identity as Wang Meng's widow, the Red Heart Society might have already helped her reach the Godhood of the Rules at any cost.

Especially considering that the other party was once the Goddess of Light.

But reality is cold and cruel; the Goddess of Light cannot be trusted!

Its danger is even far greater than that of the Star Demon God!

After weighing the pros and cons and understanding the mysteries of time and space, the Star Demon God was still able to choose to anchor his divine throne to the behemoth of the Red Heart Society.

And this goddess of light?

Once she successfully ascends to the position of Goddess of Light, her first act will undoubtedly be to raise her Holy Sword of Light, which was once stained with the blood of the Red Heart Society, and without hesitation aim it at the heart of the Red Heart Society.

[During Wang Meng's lifetime, her name was never mentioned in meetings concerning the core interests of the Red Heart Society, a process that had been ongoing for hundreds of years. This in itself is the clearest and coldest answer.]

In his heart, this goddess of light was never worthy of sharing the future of the Red Heart Society!

As for the possibility that after the other party becomes a god, they might consider the Red Heart Society's spacetime abilities and thus protect them?

【Absolutely impossible!】

[Even during her time as a true god with absolute authority, the Goddess of Light was capable of performing all sorts of bizarre actions while in a state of absolute rationality.]

[The true god of rules is free will, which controls everything.]

Given the current hatred the Goddess of Light harbors towards the Red Heart Society, coupled with the humiliation she suffered within it, she fears that failing to destroy the Red Heart Society might hinder their future spiritual progress.

If the other party weren't still somewhat useful, you probably would have already euthanized them.

Regarding the Goddess of Light's request, after her departure, you emphasized that she was not Wang Meng's widow and did not deserve the status of a family member of a hero of the Red Heart Society.

From this moment forward, the other party is no longer permitted to enter the Red Heart Society headquarters.

Meanwhile, the Red Heart Society's most secretive Shadow Guards began their investigation.

These ultimate enforcers, who walk in the shadows and are directly responsible for you, have amassed an incredibly terrifying number of Shadow Guards as the Red Heart Society has developed to its current stage.

[The Shadow Guards directly responsible for you are all, without exception, demigods of the rules.]

Moreover, they are all demigods who excel in investigation and assassination within the rules.

Each and every one of them possesses extremely powerful combat strength.

[Even one of the hidden positions held by Yu Xiao, the Night God of Rules, was the head of the Shadow Guards.]

Under such circumstances, once the Shadow Guards make their move, it will be an overwhelming force.

This time, your orders were ruthless and clear: If even the slightest trace of wavering stance, ideological infiltration, or transfer of benefits is discovered, immediately initiate the highest level of isolation and investigation.

The investigative and case-handling powers granted to the Shadow Guards within the Red Heart Society are so high-priority and authoritative that they would make any high-ranking member tremble with fear!

[In June of the 418th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Will of Hell, seeing that it could not subdue you for a long time, made concessions for greater future gains.]

At the moment of His descent, a dark, ominous shape appeared beside Him.

That is the will of the abyss!

This time, the Will of Hell has come together with the Will of the Abyss.

This also demonstrates their great sincerity in the plan to destabilize the spirit world.

[The Will of the Abyss stated that if the Red Heart Society completes its planned objectives, it can strip it of some of its authority, allowing the Red Heart Society to cultivate several True Gods of Rules.]

As for the number of trainees, that depends entirely on the Red Heart Society's efforts this time.

In return, the Crimson Heart Society will sacrifice two True Gods of Rules, and the Abyss will provide the authority to cultivate three True Gods of Rules.

[If the cost is four True Gods of Rules, the Abyss will provide the authority of six True Gods of Rules.]

This matter can be witnessed by the will of hell.

As you listened to the promise from the will of the abyss, the corner of your mouth twitched slightly.

Given the relationship between the Red Heart Society and the Will of the Abyss, the day the plan to destabilize the Spirit Realm is completed will likely be the day the other side attacks the Red Heart Society!

[And they even stripped themselves of their authority and gave it to the Red Heart Society to use?]

What wonderful dreams are you having?

In the face of such significant losses, any empty promises are nothing more than an attempt to get something for nothing without paying any price.

[To bear witness to the will of hell?]

Given the nature of the Will of Hell, what credibility does it possess?

To be honest, testimony from the spirit world is more convincing than testimony from the will of hell.

However, you haven't exposed the will of the abyss. These two jackals are still very useful to the Red Heart Society. Let's continue negotiating and stalling, and not break off relations prematurely.

The next moment, you cast your gaze upon the will of hell, a glint of light flashing in your eyes.

【hell!】

The conditions for the Abyss have been given; what about yours?

As my old friend and a deep partner of the Red Heart Society, your conditions, no matter what, are still better than Abyss's, right?

The surrounding space fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

The Will of the Abyss and the Will of Hell, these two great world wills that suppress the universe, are filled with question marks.

No, what are you talking about?

Are the conditions offered by the will of the abyss not good enough?

[For the sacrifice of two True Gods of Rules, you will be given the power and authority required by three True Gods of Rules!]

[Based on this initial number, it can be stacked infinitely upwards, with no upper limit.]

[Even a fool would know that this is a condition jointly imposed by the will of the abyss and the will of hell, right?]

[Why did it turn to talk about himself after the Abyss finished?]

【Damn it!】

Would someone with a sincere heart try to have their cake and eat it too?

[Eat the abyss, then eat yourself?]

[According to your logic, wouldn't sacrificing two True Gods of Rules mean that Chi Xin could gain the power of six True Gods of Rules in one fell swoop?]

Why is it that the Red Heart Society always seems to encounter such wonderful things?

Chapter 441 Ultimatum: If it's okay, it's okay; if not, there's no need to talk anymore.

[You pretended not to see the questions posed by the will of hell.]

[Is Chixin trying to profit from both sides?]

The Red Heart Society covets the vast and boundless source of power in the Great World in order to expand its influence, while the Abyss and Hell, these two colossal entities, crave the few unfettered, self-destructive True Gods under the Red Heart Society's command.

[Eldest brother, don't speak ill of second brother!]

[This alliance, temporarily formed to seek its own development and to attack the spirit world, is very weak.]

All three parties harbor ulterior motives; who is more noble than the others?

Your thoughts are crystallized, and your goals are very clear.

Don't act until you see the benefits!

If you want the Chixin Society to make sacrifices, you must offer them something that will motivate them to act.

Otherwise, why would Chi Xin attack the spirit realm and cause such a huge commotion? What would he gain from that?

Therefore, no matter how eloquently the will of the abyss paints its grand vision of the future, or how extravagantly the will of hell extols its profits, it will all be in vain.

[As long as the number of true gods in the Red Heart Society fails to reach the safety threshold you set, this plan to shake the very foundations of the universe—a plan to disrupt the spiritual realm—cannot be initiated.]

[Or rather, don't even think about letting the True God of the Red Heart Society's rules be used as cannon fodder.]

Under these circumstances, the trilateral talks have reached a suffocating stalemate based on these cold, hard principles.

The power of rules and the oppressive force of authority clashed silently and fiercely within the core council hall of the Red Heart Society, tearing the spatial structure apart with spiderweb-like, spreading black cracks. The escaping energy turbulence triggered piercing alarms from the nearby suspended AI array.

In September of the 420th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the dark core of the Abyss Will, churning with extreme chaos and destruction, finally erupted in fury.

The immense power of this vast world, like a catastrophic flood bursting its banks, forcefully overwhelmed the layers of rules and barriers within the council chamber.

The dome, constructed of high-strength, extraordinary alloy, instantly cracked and twisted, the invisible mental impact plunging the arena into chaos.

The roar of the Abyss's will, capable of crushing galaxies, reverberated through the void, filled with unspeakable rage.

This plan only requires a few reckless men to charge into battle!

Do you truly believe your loyalty is unique?

[From the pitch-black core of light, countless phantom chains of soul-devouring chains, condensed from pure annihilation intent, shot forth, like venomous pythons choosing their prey, aimed directly at Agris's divine body forged from molten lava and indomitable fighting spirit.]

Which of my demon gods is not valiant?

Who fears to fight to the death?

【Oh--】

Just then, a sneer, carrying endless mockery and a chilling insight into the truth, abruptly shattered the stagnant, oppressive atmosphere.

The phantom of the Heart Demon God, constructed from pure mental rules, leaned slightly forward, and invisible ripples of mental energy, powerful enough to shake divine will, spread like waves, unleashing a violent pressure from the abyss.

[Aren't you afraid of dying?]
