You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

Chapter 127 This simulation is over (8k)

After the dragon leader passed through the abyss barrier, two more heads suddenly sprouted from the left and right sides of its neck.

The aura emanating from the three-headed dragon had become stronger than ever before.

Even disregarding its aura, its size had nearly doubled after being amplified by the abyss barrier.

For most abyss lords, size usually represents their power.

The larger the Abyss Lord, the stronger they are!

After the Dragon Leader joined the Crimson Hearts Legion, they began to face suppression from all sides.

The amplified three-headed dragon was far more powerful than any Titan could match.

Even with everything they burned, and wearing the basic version of the Crimson Heart Armor, the Crimson Heart Legion was still being overwhelmed by the three-headed dragon.

The attacks of the Crimson Heart Legion, when they struck the three-headed dragon, tore its skin and flesh apart.

The key problem is that the three-headed dragon is too large.

What are a few minor injuries compared to such a mountain-sized body?

Most importantly, the three-headed dragon has an extremely strong self-regenerative ability.

The first injury healed completely before the second one could even appear.

Such terrifying injuries mean that unless a professional of the same level uses their soul domain to leave irreparable damage on Him, this battle will only become more and more difficult.

[From this, you can also see the abyss's projected will enhancing the abyss army.]

The Titan's actions were clearly influenced by the will of the abyss.

Otherwise, even if the opponent were a level 99 Titan leader, they wouldn't be able to inflict such a terrifying effect on a three-headed dragon of the same level.

However, the battle must continue.

Do your best within your capabilities.

In September of the 146th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society's western border defenses were breached.

Fortunately, the Red Heart Society members began their evacuation early on; otherwise, the militia units stationed in the western provinces might have been in serious trouble.

[As the three-headed dragon pressed closer, you began to arrange for your rear guard to slowly retreat.]

The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.

Especially under the leadership of the three-headed dragon, the intensity of the abyssal demonic tide is increasing.

Today, the Red Heart Society stands absolutely at the pinnacle of human history!

Even so, they were still no match for the army of the abyss.

The future Chixin Society needs to be even stronger!

The time between the formation of the Red Heart Society and its expansion nationwide could be further compressed.

[If the Red Heart Society could overthrow the Federation's rule and seize power before the surrounding countries could react, and then leverage the deterrent power of forbidden and special military weapons, perhaps a long period of peace could be ushered in.]

You also have your own thoughts on this.

[Since the aristocratic families of the Federation will inevitably be crushed by the relentless march of history and disappear into the annals of time, why not make the most of their remaining time before they vanish?]

[Loans are being made throughout the Federation under the guise of the Red Heart Society, or disguised as the Nine Revolutions of Battle Qi.]

[With over thirty provinces in the Federation, plus the major families in the central cities, their reserves are quite substantial.]

Although the Red Heart Society, currently at the pinnacle of the world, looks down on it, it certainly would look up to the Red Heart Society, which is just starting out!

[Of course, we can also borrow a large sum of money from the White Eagle Empire, the Winter Empire, the Sunset Empire, the Peacock Empire, and the United States.]

Stock trading is stock trading, and lending is lending.

The effect of walking on two legs is definitely greater than that of walking on one leg.

Borrow the money first, and take out the loan in advance.

Once the Red Heart Society becomes powerful, we will first wipe out the Federation's powerful families, and then destroy the other troublesome nations.

It is common knowledge that chaebols fear the military most.

When the executioner's blade is drawn, even the most powerful tycoon will tremble before the army.

[If all the creditors of the Red Heart Society die physically, wouldn't it be equivalent to you having no loans at all?]

Therefore, in the next timeline, you can move in this direction.

If the Crimson Heart Society can reach its peak condition ahead of schedule, it will be able to reap the rewards from across the world and face the Abyss's invasion in its most complete form.

[Let's hypothesize: if all members of the Crimson Heart Battle Group reached the ninth level of cultivation, and each wore a Super Crimson Heart Battle Armor capable of amplifying their cultivation to the ninth level, how much power could they unleash under the combined might of the Crimson Heart Battle Formation?]

[I'm afraid one strike would be enough to destroy that damned three-headed dragon in front of me, wouldn't it?]

[They could even lead the Red Heart Society to counter-invade the Abyss during a major invasion crisis!]

If you can truly do that, you'll find the world's blessings are abundant.

It's just a pity that this is now only a dream ending you imagined.

However, you firmly believe that as long as you persevere, you will achieve it sooner or later!

In November of the 146th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Guardian Legion and the Crimson Heart Army completely withdrew, leaving only the Demon Sealing Legion and the Crimson Heart Legion still holding out here.

Just as you were preparing to evacuate and regroup on the other side of the ocean, Raven, the head of the military research and development department in the distant ocean area, sent you some good news.

After numerous tests, they have finally developed a super military weapon, as per your requirements, with a power level a hundred times higher than that of special military weapons.

According to the analysis of the Crimson Heart AI, even in the outer perimeter of the super military explosion, a ninth-level professional would likely be severely injured or killed if they were unlucky.

[The heat and power erupting from the core of the super military weaponry, in a sense, absolutely surpassed the continuous attacks of the Red Heart Battle Group.]

[The exact level is too high for the current Red Heart Society to determine, as they don't have enough skilled practitioners to test it.]

[So you immediately had a super military weapon transported over via the teleportation array.]

Due to new breakthroughs in the technology of super military weapons, and new pursuits in the application of extraordinary materials and smelting, the appearance of super military weapons has also undergone significant changes.

Although the power of the super military weapon has been greatly increased, its size has been reduced significantly.

If not told otherwise, who would believe that this object, resembling a medium-sized military missile, is a special weapon capable of destroying a country?

However, on the other hand, if a super military weapon truly possesses such immense power, then perhaps in the next timeline, you could send the entire Sunset Empire to its demise with a single blow.

If the Sunset Empire is gone, then the Abyss Experiments will not continue.

Even if the Abyss has long been eyeing this world, it will not launch an invasion in the near future.

【very good! 】

[Super military gear, truly deserving of the title "super".]

However, due to its immense power, you'll need to test it carefully.

[And so, you led the Crimson Hearts Legion, carrying remotely controllable super weaponry, and, taking advantage of the chaos of war, shoved it up the ass of a Bull Demon Lord.]

[In December of the 146th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after many days of observation, you have finally discovered that the Bull Demon Lord is attempting to return to the Abyss Battlefield by passing through the Abyss Barrier.]

Therefore, you ordered the Crimson Heart Battle Group and the Demon Sealing Battle Group to evacuate to the teleportation array in advance.

Just as the Bull Demon Lord was about to cross the abyss barrier, you pressed the activation button for the super military weapon.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and the mountains and rivers shook.

[And in that instant of tremor, you and all the members of the Crimson Hearts Legion had already returned to the distant continent.]

The lava demon stood beside the teleportation portal, and upon seeing you, immediately straightened up and gave a standard hand salute.

This makes you very curious: in the fight against the Abyss, the Crimson Hearts are currently at a disadvantage.

So why hasn't that cautious Lava Demon left yet?

[In response to your question, the Lava Demon explained its reasons.]

[For a demon to increase its level, it needs to devour large amounts of souls and flesh.]

[If there are enough human souls, it is possible for a being to advance in rank.]

However, the souls of demons, being fellow demons, are a great tonic for Him!

[He discovered high-quality demon souls within the Red Heart Society's contribution exchange system.]

[It turns out that the demon souls dropped by the Crimson Hearts Chapter when they killed those super abyss lords were completely unwanted and useless.]

[Others may not need it, but He can!]

Moreover, with the Red Heart Society, there's no need to risk your life; you only need to command your servants and dependents to obey orders.

[His subordinates did the work, and he used the souls of demons.]

There's nothing better in the world!

Most importantly, with the arrival of the level 99 Abyss Lord, the projected will no longer care about Him.

Why doesn't He just come to the Red Heart Society and join them?

Even if Redheart is defeated in the future, He can simply return to the abyss, or find another place to continue living his life.

You listened to the lava demon's narration, and fell silent.

[The Red Heart Society's contribution exchange system has actually attracted a level 98 super Abyss Lord?]

This is something you didn't expect!

However, during its time with the Red Heart Society, the Lava Demon consistently provided assistance and exerted strong control over its subordinates and followers, ensuring that there was never a single incident of harming or killing anyone.

So you thought about it and decided that keeping them around might be a good idea.

[If they cause trouble later, we can deal with them then.]

In April of the 147th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, according to the Red Heart Society's detections, large amounts of abyssal energy were detected in all directions of the sea.

However, the abyssal demonic tide moves very slowly, and there are even instances where it surges violently before quickly declining or disappearing.

Finally, the Redheart AI concluded that the sea monsters' resistance to the Abyss invasion was even stronger than that of the Redheart Society.

[In May of the 147th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, during your pre-battle mobilization, you noticed the Lava Demon standing quietly beside you, listening intently.]

Even after you rallied the army, the Lava Demon was the first to jump out and shout "Victory to Loyalty!"

[You sense a powerful, unwavering loyalty emanating from the lava demon.]

[Once you've confirmed that the lava demon has pledged its loyalty to you, you're even more confused.]

All your speeches are conceived based on the current era and the individual, the crises they face today, and the opportunities that may be created in the future.

How did a Lava Demon, a super abyss lord, manage to achieve this?

Is exploitation also rampant in the abyss?

However, you have no time to concern yourself with matters of the Abyss right now.

Now that the Lava Demon has pledged its loyalty to you, perhaps you should also make it an important fighting force for the Red Heart Society in the future.

In July of the 147th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, with the Red Heart Society's entire inventory released, the Lava Demons feasted to their hearts' content.

[A halo of magma began to faintly appear around Him.]

However, this halo was very thin, fleeting, as if it had never existed.

After the Lava Demon underwent a physical examination by the Crimson Heart AI, the AI ​​calculated that if the Lava Demon wanted to advance to level 99, it either needed to devour an extremely powerful demon soul or rely on sheer numbers.

The Lava Demon felt the surging power within him, and a surge of emotion he had never experienced before welled up within him.

From the moment of His birth, the marks of slaughter in the abyss were imprinted on His soul.

Having lived for so long, He had never experienced anyone giving Him such precious demon souls, or even allowing Him to devour those enormous and valuable demon corpses.

【The Red Heart Society!】

[In the parlance of the praise system in the Abyss, that's rotten to the core!]

I feel like I've had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have joined this organization that makes babies grow up without an anus.

【really! 】

[A crybaby is bound to have bad luck!]

When Lin Xue tried to inquire about the interior of the abyss from the Lava Demon, all the Demon's words came through as a jumble of static.

[There is an unseen force interfering with the abyssal words spoken by the lava demon.]

[In September of the 147th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Starlight Battle Aura you have honed day after day for over a decade finally began to radiate moonlight from within.]

[However, before you could even rejoice over this news for long, high-level Abyss Lords began to emerge from the vast ocean along the borders of the distant continent.]

Although the number of Abyss Lords that have emerged is small and can be dealt with by the Guardian Legion, it is still definitely not good news.

In October of the 147th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, a three-headed demonic dragon tore through the spatial barrier from the heavens.

[Also arriving were a large number of Abyss Lords.]

[It can only be said that the Far Ocean Continent truly lives up to its reputation as a peaceful continent. Not only is it vast and rich in resources, but it also has the fewest number of demonic lairs among all countries.]

Even the rule that a nation's battlefields are a deep abyss doesn't apply here on the distant ocean continent.

Without the massive support of the Abyss Battlefield, the greatest threat to the Crimson Heart Society right now is the three-headed dragon itself.

Under your leadership, the Red Hearts Legion has launched a war against the three-headed dragon.

In February of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, a large number of Abyss Lords landed on the distant continent from the boundless coastline.

The once azure, even somewhat dark, sea is now charred black by the blood of abyssal monsters, and is even filled with extremely potent toxicity.

A vast number of sea creatures sacrificed their lives to resist the invasion of the abyss.

Despite expanding your guard by one hundred regiments during this period, the Red Heart Society is still somewhat powerless against the boundless abyssal tide of demons.

[In May of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the second level 99 super-powerful Abyss Lord: the Frost Demon Leader, appeared on the other side of the distant continent.]

The situation quickly escalated into a greater crisis.

After negotiations, the two Demon-Sealing Battle Groups, together with Elder Jun and Elder Jian, and all the Nine-Turn Professions who had come to take refuge, decided to fight the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.

After all, the three-headed dragon is more adept at defense and self-regeneration than offense.

Therefore, sending the Crimson Hearts Battle Group to resist the invasion of the Frost Demon Leader is currently the optimal solution. [In June of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, through your persistent refinement, your Starlight Battle Aura has finally reached perfection.]

At the same time, you feel a profound transformation taking place in your battle aura domain.

【Ability: Dou Qi field.】

[Level: Level 2. 】

【Development stage: prototype.】

[Effect ①: For allies within the Dou Qi area, Dou Qi recovery speed is increased by 70%, Dou Qi operation efficiency is increased by 70%, and Dou Qi damage is increased by 35%.]

[Effect 2: For enemies within the Dou Qi area, Dou Qi recovery speed is reduced by 45%, Dou Qi operation efficiency is reduced by 45%, and Dou Qi damage is reduced by 25%.]

[Effect 3: With the blessing of the Dou Qi Domain Seed, your refining speed of the God-Gifted Crystal increases by 180%.]

[Hidden Effect: Consumes a certain amount of Life Essence to double the above three effects of the Battle Aura Domain.]

The three basic attributes of the Battle Qi domain have been greatly improved.

However, the combination of battle aura with one's own talent and with human will remains unchanged.

[And the upgrade of your battle aura domain makes you understand that, just as a battle aura domain will be born within your body after your golden battle aura has been honed to perfection.]

To advance in one's battle aura, one needs to continuously refine and hone higher-level battle aura techniques.

However, with this current enhancement, coupled with the hidden effects of the Battle Qi Domain, it might actually present a chance to turn the tide.

[Therefore, without any hesitation, you fully unleashed your battle aura domain.]

After the upgrade, the coverage area and the intensity of its influence have been greatly improved.

At the same time, the consumption of one's own battle qi by the battle qi domain has also greatly increased.

[In an instant, your already meager Starlight Battle Aura was further depleted.]

Fortunately, with the boost from their level 2 battle aura, the Crimson Heart Battle Group instantly transformed from a weaker party into a stronger one.

[After witnessing this scene, the members of the Red Heart Society felt an even stronger desire for the future.]

Under your leadership as the pioneer, they will surely achieve even greater victories!

Just as you promised everyone at the beginning, you were going to awaken everyone's professionalism, and you did.

You promised to make it easy for everyone to obtain divinely bestowed crystals, and you did.

You promised to make the life-saving potion affordable for everyone, and you delivered.

【Now! 】

You promised to lead everyone to survive, and they believe you can do it!

You bring them hope, and they give you all their trust!

【The Red Heart Society!】

[I will definitely lead everyone to build the utopian society that everyone dreams of.]

[And the quests related to your fifth job advancement are incredibly simple for the Red Heart Society right now.]

Within ten minutes, the Red Heart Society delivered the fifth-tier materials you needed.

[Within half an hour, the abyss monsters you needed to slay to prove your fifth-tier qualification have all fallen at your hands.]

In just one hour, you completed the fifth job advancement quest, a task that would normally take a level 50 professional two or even several years to complete.

With the completion of the fifth-tier quest, the Starlight Battle Qi within you will naturally transform into Moonlight Battle Qi.

With the bonus of +4 to Moonlit Battle Aura level, although you have just completed your job change, your actual professional level is already comparable to level 54.

In this situation, you are thinking about something.

[Given the current situation, if you continue to hone your battle aura, wouldn't you possess the immense power of level 98 the moment you advance to the ninth level of a professional?]

Thinking about it carefully, this is actually quite a good deal.

In July of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, devastating news arrived.

[During the battle, the three-headed dragon suddenly burst into black flames.]

The old soldier was unable to escape and was burned alive.

[Two other ninth-tier professionals also perished along with the old soldier.]

This is arguably the greatest loss the Red Heart Society has suffered since its complete relocation to the distant continent.

In August of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after much enticement by Sword Elder and others, the three-headed demonic dragon was finally lured to the location of the Crimson Heart Battle Group.

Although the three-headed dragon and the ice demon leader are at odds, these two powerful abyss lords have chosen to join forces to fight against the Crimson Heart Legion.

At the same moment, you consumed your life essence to activate the hidden effect of your battle aura domain.

In an instant, the power unleashed by the entire Red Heart Battle Group reached a new level.

The two incredibly powerful abyss lords, after joining forces, initially intended to destroy everything and divide the spoils, but their plans once again failed.

Even under the full force of the Crimson Heart Battle Group, the two super-powerful lords were utterly humiliated.

If it weren't for their extremely fast self-recovery speed, they would probably have died under the iron fists of the Red Heart Battle Group long ago.

However, you can also feel that after consuming your life essence to activate the hidden effect, the abundant energy in your body begins to gradually dissipate.

[Your lifespan seems to be entering its final countdown.]

[In the same month, you discover that the life force depletion caused by burning your life essence renders these precious life-giving substances completely ineffective.]

Only then will you understand the true meaning of the words "the origin of life"!

[The origin represents the source of natural lifespan.]

If one's lifespan is damaged, it can be compensated for with precious life-giving items or even higher-quality life-giving treasures.

However, if the fundamental source is damaged, it almost certainly means it is irreparable, irreconcilable, and beyond repair.

[In October of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Crimson Heart Battle Group was simultaneously slamming a three-headed demonic dragon into its body and brutally beating the leader of the Frost Demons.]

Compared to the three-headed dragon's defensive capabilities, the Ice Demon leader's vitality is not as strong.

Therefore, after more than two months of torture, the Ice Demon leader's aura grew increasingly weak.

However, you must remain vigilant, especially at crucial moments.

[You could even have everyone evacuate to prevent the Ice Demon leader from unleashing a powerful attack before dying, taking everyone else with it.]

However, the lava demon lurked in the nearby abyssal demonic tide, its gaze fixed on the battle above, showing no respect for the high-level demon lord, only a thirst for demon souls.

Because He knew very well that the key to His progress lay entirely with the Red Heart Battle Group.

Even as the Redheart Warband crushed the two powerful lords, the Lava Demons' loyalty to you grew increasingly stronger, even reaching a fever pitch.

In the abyss, the strong reign supreme!

As a member of the demon race, the Lava Demon inherently possesses an extremely strong admiration for the powerful.

It can be said that the stronger the Redheart Chapter, the higher the loyalty of the Lava Demons to you.

[In December of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you have a premonition that your time is drawing near.]

[So, while you were hammering down the leader of the Frost Demons, you solemnly announced to the entire Red Heart Society that Lin Xue would be the second leader.]

You don't want to see the power struggles that occurred in the previous timeline again in this one.

You thought you wouldn't face the inevitable death from old age this time, since the precious life-giving substances could completely replenish your lost lifespan.

[Unexpectedly, after the Battle Qi Domain was upgraded, the option to burn one's life essence appeared again.]

Last time, you died of old age on the spot after killing your enemy.

This time, you feel you won't be so lucky.

[After all, these two level 99 lords, blessed by the Abyss, are incredibly resilient!]

[Especially the Frost Demon leader, even after being reduced to just its head, it can still withstand attacks!]

[They're still alive?]

Are they trying to outlast you?

[In June of the 149st year of the Supernatural Calendar, you reached level 51.]

[As your professional level increases, your control over the Moonlit Battle Qi within you will reach a new level.]

At the same time, the suppressive effect released by consuming human will has also been subtly increased.

[But at the crucial moment of crushing the Ice Demon leader, this slight increase in suppression became the final straw that broke the camel's back.]

【finally!】

The Ice Demon leader's head could no longer endure the Redheart Warband's brutal slaughter.

Even with the constant boost from the three-headed dragon's healing abilities, they could no longer hold on.

[The Frost Demon Leader!]

【sudden!】

Just a second ago, the three-headed dragon was loudly reassuring the ice demon leader in the Abyss language, urging him not to give up the fight.

After all, if the other person dies, I'll be next.

[But the instant the Ice Demon leader died, the three-headed dragon opened its blood-red maw and lunged to swallow its head.]

[The soul essence remaining after the death of a supreme abyss lord would definitely elevate His power to a new level.]

But how could you not have anticipated these things?

[You gathered the full power of the Red Hearts Legion, and with a single slap, sent the three-headed dragon flying.]

The next moment, the Crimson Hearts Legion precisely tossed the head of the Frost Demon leader into the mouth of the ravenous Lava Demon.

【boom! 】

A halo of lava emanated from the lava demon's body, and its aura began to transform at a visible speed.

[Level 99!]

【achieve!】

[At the same moment, the Lava Demon's loyalty to you, which had remained stagnant for so long, also changed.]

【loyalty!】

【fanaticism!!!】

You never imagined that a level 99 abyssal demon would become your fanatical follower.

Perhaps this is a silver lining amidst misfortune.

[After your death, Chi Xin will have such a top-tier fighter protecting him, perhaps allowing him to go even further in the future.]

As you ponder, you feel your eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

[The aura surrounding you began to shrink as the dense death energy emanating from your body spread.]

Upon realizing this, the three-headed dragon fled at top speed.

With your last breath, you issued your final command!

【The Loyal Hearts of the Battle Group!】

[Slayed the three-headed dragon!]

[Then, under the final protection of your battle aura domain, the Crimson Heart Battle Group began to unleash everything they had, giving their all to fulfill your final command.]

Although they are deeply pained to see you grow old.

Even though they know you're about to leave them, it's devastating for them.

But your orders are above all else!

Therefore, they must complete it!

In your final moments, amidst their boundless grief, the warriors of the Crimson Hearts Legion unleashed a power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

They severed two of the three-headed dragon's heads, tore its wings apart, cut off its claws, and smashed all its teeth!

Finally, as you watched the Red Heart Legion soldiers gouge out the dragon's eyes, and amidst the dragon's agonizing screams, you slowly closed your own eyes.

When news of your death spread, the entire Red Heart Society was plunged into an unprecedented and complex phase of grief, sorrow, wailing, and even suicidal breakdowns.

Everyone had only one thought in their minds: their world had collapsed!

Upon receiving this news, the Demon-Sealing Battle Group, the Guardian Battle Group, and the millions of Loyal Soldiers who were holding the line at the forefront trembled, their vision blurred, and they nearly collapsed to the ground.

[A great pioneer!]

How could the sun, which revolves in the sky and shines upon the world, possibly fall?

If the sun were to fall, wouldn't the world be plunged into eternal darkness?

Even if you've chosen a successor, and even if Lin Xue is truly outstanding, in the eyes of all the members of the Red Heart Society, she's far inferior to you!

How can the light of stars rival the brilliance of the sun?

At this moment, the heavily wounded dragon noticed that the most terrifying amplification effect within the Crimson Heart Battle Group had disappeared, and immediately let out an excited roar.

Immediately afterwards, all the Abyss Lords along the border became excited and began a life-or-death charge towards the border established by the Red Heart Society.

When the charge of the abyss meets a loyal warrior in the throes of absolute grief, a head-on confrontation that will inevitably lead to the loss of life is inevitable.

【kill! 】

Kill these abyss lords and avenge the great sun!

Meanwhile, amidst the jubilation of all the Red Heart Society members, a far more powerful human will than in the previous timeline awakens within you, soothing your wounded body and soul with an extremely gentle energy.

[Under some unseen influence, your understanding of human intentions has deepened.]

【you are dead. 】

[This simulation ends.]
