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

Chapter 141 No one loves peace more than the White Eagle Empire (5k)

After realizing what was happening, the White Eagle Emperor quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't deserve better.

[A super military weapon is already capable of destroying a country, and then the other side tells you you deserve something better. Who wouldn't be terrified?]

You waved your hand, indicating it was just a joke and that the White Eagle Emperor shouldn't take it seriously.

However, as the ruler of an empire, the White Eagle Emperor naturally wouldn't just listen to the surface meaning of what was said.

The overall national strength of the White Eagle Empire far surpasses that of the Sunset Empire and the Peacock Empire.

If a conflict were to break out with the Red Heart Society in the future, the White Eagle Empire would indeed deserve a better military strike.

After all, the White Eagle Empire, as a long-established military power in the world, is not someone that the Sunset Empire and the Peacock Empire can easily challenge.

However, given the Red Heart Society's current strength, the White Eagle Emperor is extremely unwilling to engage in military conflict with them.

In this situation, he still prefers to focus all conflicts on resolving them at the negotiating table.

The White Eagle Empire is a strong advocate for peace.

No one desires world peace more than they do.

[In the same month, the White Eagle Empire convened its high-ranking officials domestically, intending to implement reforms and discard outdated and stubborn systems.]

The powerful families of the White Eagle Empire were initially very opposed to the White Eagle Emperor's reforms.

However, under the threat of their powerful neighbor, the Red Heart Society, their sense of rejection wasn't as strong.

After all, they knew in their hearts that if they didn't strengthen their national power as soon as possible, their future might be sealed by the tide stirred up by the Red Heart Society.

In order to avoid being hung from streetlights, they were willing to give up some of their vested interests and benefit the people.

When ordinary people's lives improve, their country can become stronger!

However, even the most rational among them would be quite angered by the loss of their own interests.

That damned Red Heart Society!

Before this organization existed, the world was a competition of who was worse. They didn't need to do anything exceptionally well; they only needed to do better than other countries to win the cheers and applause of those lowly people.

But now, times have changed.

[For a powerful conglomerate to actually have to concede profits to the people and even consider the plight of the lower classes—this is utterly contrary to the natural order!]

But there's no way around it; all the carefree and luxurious lifestyles must give way to survival.

If the lives of the underprivileged are not improved, then Chi Xin will come here and rally a large following, and they will inevitably face the fate of being hanged from streetlights.

[In December of the 130th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, you dispatched Elder Jun to lead a team to the Sunset Empire to clean up the Abyss Laboratory.]

[You were worried that the old man wouldn't take this matter seriously, so you explained the dangers of the Abyss Experiments to him in a serious manner.]

[You could even exaggerate the original story a third further.]

The more the old soldier listened, the more solemn his expression became.

Finally, he assured you that he would completely eradicate all the Abyss Experiments within the Sunset Empire!

Even if it's a laboratory hidden hundreds of kilometers underground, he'll find it all, even if he has to dig a hole in the ground!

You waved your hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary.

[You just want the old general to go to the Sunset Empire to inspect it and see if the Sunset Empire has been beaten into submission.]

If not, then launch a few more super military weapons.

After all, superweapons were invented specifically for use in artillery barrages.

Most importantly, if the veteran senses any danger, he must evacuate immediately.

The old soldier smiled wryly at your concerns.

[He's a level 95 professional; in this world, there's practically no one who can kill him.]

Even the strongest level 96 professional in history could withstand a few blows from him.

Furthermore, if the Sunset Empire truly had level 96 professionals, how could they have been defeated like this?

And so, under your watchful eye, the old general led a group of high-ranking professionals, arriving in the Sunset Empire amidst a nationwide welcoming ceremony.

The official media of the United States referred to it as: "The First Day of the Red Heart Society's World Enforcement Team's Inspection of the World."

[In the same month, you began to focus your main attention on the Winter Empire.]

[Since the super military forces have already bombed the Peacock Empire and the Sunset Empire, it wouldn't hurt to bombard the Winter Empire as well.]

[The Winter Emperor seemed to have discerned the Red Heart Society's intentions, and for the first time, he set aside his arrogant stance and sent an envoy to the Red Heart Society's headquarters to discuss compensation matters.]

Despite his deafening slogans, who among them truly wanted to die?

Who would want to drag the other person down with them if they could live a carefree and extravagant life?

Despite this conflicting with his governing philosophy, there was no other way; the Red Heart Society possessed the ultimate weapon of war, and the Winter Empire had no choice but to strategically submit.

[In June of the 131st year of the Supernatural Calendar, you reached level 56.]

In the same month, the Red Heart Society issued a global appeal, announcing the completion of the world's largest Red Heart Research Institute.

The Red Heart Society warmly welcomes researchers worldwide in all fields, including military, technology, and artificial intelligence.

[Afterwards, the Red Heart Society began to demonstrate its respect for researchers to the world.]

[From compensation and benefits to even exceptionally valuable items that extend lifespan, these can be used as research rewards to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to science and technology.]

The world was in an uproar.

But researchers are the lifeblood of countries around the world; how can they let them leave?

[That's alright. As long as researchers send their requests for help to the Red Heart Association through various channels, the Red Heart Association will speak out for researchers on the world stage.]

[The Red Heart Society also gave countries that were detaining people two choices.]

Either you release them, or you do the same.

Either I go there, or...

Choose one yourself!

Smart people always make the right choices.

Of course, most countries would take this opportunity to send researchers loyal to their own country to infiltrate the Red Heart Society and steal secrets about advanced military weapons.

They know of your golden talent for imprinting thoughts, and understand that you possess the ability to gauge the loyalty of your subordinates.

Therefore, they directly employed a combination of hypnotic sealing techniques to block or erase certain memory fragments of loyal researchers.

Only by using specific methods at a specific time can their loyalty to the empire be rekindled.

Therefore, once these researchers enter the Red Heart Society Research Institute, they will pledge their loyalty to you in a very short time.

[With these countries placing high expectations on them, you will undoubtedly entrust them with important tasks, and ultimately send them to research institutions for advanced military weapons.]

But their plan backfired.

These researchers from around the world are not qualified to join the Super Military project without your personal review.

Perhaps in the future, with the invasion of the Abyss and the destruction of other nations, they will enter the field of super-military research, fighting to create the highest achievement of human civilization.

But now, the world is in the midst of national conflict, so let's forget about it!

Only when you are 100% certain that a truly reliable researcher can you access the Red Heart Society's most confidential research.

In February of the 131st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, with the infusion of massive global resources, all sectors of the Red Heart Society experienced rapid growth at a visible pace.

[In the Abyss Battlefield, under your leadership and with the valiant charge of the Crimson Heart Legion, one abyss lair after another that stood in your way was swept away, and one powerful abyss lord after another fell on the path of advance.]

Even though the number of construction units within the Red Heart Society is increasing dramatically, their construction speed still cannot keep up with the Red Heart Warband's expansionist pace.

In April of the 131st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society expanded its territory by eight thousand kilometers, building upon its existing federal foundation.

Having reached this stage of their expansion, the Red Hearts Reconnaissance Team discovered a magnificent city 300 kilometers ahead.

This city is teeming with abyssal creatures, and even the black demon heads fluttering above its walls suggest that this colossal city is inhabited.

According to surveys, this colossal city occupies a strategically important and naturally fortified location.

[Sword Elder quietly arrived here, gazing at the endless, abyssal barrier. He remarked that if they could conquer this colossal city, he and Army Elder, working together, might be able to use the micro-management of their soul domains to inscribe a super formation, fully mobilizing the power of this natural barrier.]

If, as you predict, the Abyss does indeed indiscriminately enhance nearby abyssal creatures, then perhaps we can use this natural stronghold to keep the abyssal demonic tide at bay!

At that time, the tens of millions of square kilometers of territory from the entrance to this place, containing various extraordinary mineral veins and resources, will provide a continuous source of power for the development of the Red Heart Society.

You seem quite interested in Elder Jian's explanation.

The abyss is vast and boundless; a territory spanning millions of kilometers is but a drop in the ocean compared to its immense size.

[However, after the invasion of the Abyss's projected will, the endless surging demonic tides and the constant arrival of Abyss Lords put immense pressure on the Crimson Heart Society.]

Most importantly, the abyss barrier from the previous timeline greatly shocked him.

If we could directly pass through this giant city within the Abyss Battlefield, utilizing its natural defenses to keep out large numbers of abyssal creatures, it would greatly benefit the Red Heart Society's future development.

Perhaps this time, you might live to be a hundred years old.

However, you still have some self-awareness when faced with this magnificent city.

With the current combat strength of the Red Heart Society, they simply cannot conquer this giant city.

[However, the power exerted by super military weapons is severely limited in the Abyss.] [Therefore, the truly reliable force is the super battleband, the Crimson Heart Battleband, which surpasses all other battlebands.]

But a distance of several hundred kilometers is still too short.

Therefore, to avoid arousing suspicion from the Abyss City, you temporarily set aside the conquered territory and began a slow retreat.

Since we've encountered an insurmountable enemy to the north, let's continue our expansion to the west and east.

[There's no shortage of anything in the abyss; the abyssal races and abyssal lairs are far too numerous to kill!]

In May of the 131st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, under the full-scale production of the Red Heart Society's super factory, all members of the Red Heart Battle Group donned basic battle armor.

At this moment, the Red Heart Battle Group almost became synonymous with the word "powerful."

[In the same month, in order to increase the size of the super battle group, you selected elites from the guard battle group, and the plan to form the Demon Sealing Battle Group officially began.]

Your plan is that, if all goes well, you hope to have all members of the Crimson Heart Chapter don the Crimson Heart Armor before the Abyss truly invades.

[If that's the case, combined with your battle aura domain, you could absolutely slaughter a level 99 super-powerful Abyss Lord!]

In July of the 131st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, five Demon-Sealing Battle Legions were officially established.

To assemble these five Demon-Sealing Battle Legions, you mobilized troops from the hundred Guardian Battle Legions, almost wiping out all their elite forces.

[The combat strength of the escort group may decline in the short term.]

However, you believe that with the continuous supply of troops from the Red Heart Society, the damaged strength of the Guardian Corps will be rapidly restored in a very short time.

[In the same month, under your instructions, Lin Xue submitted a document entitled "Regarding King-Rank Talented Professionals Refining Golden Battle Qi and Further Developing Battle Qi Domains."]

This document, once circulated among the top echelons of the Red Heart Society, immediately provoked strong opposition.

The vast majority of the Red Heart Society's top leaders oppose this policy.

On one hand, they almost universally believe that the realm of battle qi is your exclusive domain, a unique personal symbol of you as the founder of the Red Heart Society.

On the other hand, refining golden battle aura requires a long period of time.

[This would take over a decade and consume massive amounts of resources and most of the computing power of the Redheart AI, making it an extremely uneconomical deal.]

[In that time, these King-level talent professionals would have already reached the seventh or even eighth rank.]

[As the founder of the Red Heart Society, your possession of the Battle Qi Domain is sufficient; everyone else is superfluous.]

[But Deng Qi understands your thoughts, and he also knows the precious characteristics of those who will possess the Dou Qi domain in the future.]

Therefore, he was the first to step forward and fully support the implementation of this document at the high-level meeting.

When the top three leaders in an organization reach a consensus, the rest of the organization are virtually powerless to resist them.

[Especially within a powerful organization like the Red Heart Society, where your personal prestige trumps everything, even if Lin Xue and Deng Qi oppose it, you can implement this policy with just a word.]

[Thus, Guan Wu and the other King-level talents began to devote themselves wholeheartedly to refining their battle aura and magical power.]

In September of the 131st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Lin Xue delivered a speech to all members of the Red Heart Society at its headquarters.

Fellow countrymen!

Each and every one of you is a shining star in the sky.

Therefore, I hope you can gain deeper experience and see unique perspectives.

Don't confine yourself to your own living environment, and don't let trivial matters around you affect you.

Our future should include poetry and distant horizons!

If you have seen the snow of the Winter Empire, witnessed the oceans of the White Eagle Empire, experienced the dust and war of the abyss, and seen the vast, sprawling city stretching for thousands of miles, your lives will surely be different!

【therefore!】

Join the Abyss Expedition!

[The Abyss, now swept clean by the Red Heart Battle Group, the Demon Sealing Battle Group, and the Red Heart Army, has been 90% free of danger.]

Here, we will find our brand new second life!

Lin Xue's call to action caused a huge stir throughout the entire Red Heart Society.

When a large number of Red Heart Society members entered the Abyss Battlefield, they discovered that, just as Lin Xue had said, fortresses and cities had been built in various locations.

The nearby massive incubation pools and powerful abyssal races were also wiped out by the Crimson Heart Warband.

[In this safe zone today, aside from the birth of some low- and mid-level abyssal nests nurtured by the abyssal demonic energy, very few powerful abyssal lords appear.]

However, the abyssal demonic energy lingered around, making it impossible to completely eradicate these abyssal nests and abyssal creatures.

[After killing one wave, another wave will spawn in a couple of days.]

Therefore, summoning the Red Heart Society members, with the main army clearing out the Abyss Lords at the front and the Red Heart Society members sweeping away the newly formed lairs in the rear, ensuring unimpeded passage on all roads, is a healthy positive cycle.

[Even compared to the occasional, sporadic appearance of wild monsters in the outside world, the monsters in the abyss are not only more numerous, but also drop better materials and equipment.]

Most importantly, the enhancement method issued by the Red Heart Society requires the Abyss to enhance the refining effect of the Divine Crystal.

[If that's the case, why not go into the abyss and farm gold?]

However, compared to the Red Heart Society's joy, the outside world was quite resistant to the Red Heart Society's call for ordinary professionals to enter the Abyss Battlefield.

[Even several official media outlets have stated that the actions of the Chixin Society are irresponsible!]

This approach is blatantly disregard for the lives of those at the bottom of society!

【tyrant!】

【dictator!】

【Butcher!】

Suddenly, all sorts of negative labels were hurled at you.

Even global patriotic movements have been affected to some extent; the once-enthusiastic patriotic movement in the Kingdom of Farah seems to be losing momentum.

[But when members of the Farah Kingdom branch arrived at the Abyss Battlefield and personally witnessed the Red Heart Society's extensive modifications to the Abyss, they finally understood the root cause of all this!]

The strength of the Red Heart Society lies not only in its military power!

[In the economy!]

[Under construction!]

In terms of rallying public support, it is far inferior to the Red Heart Society!

All nations underestimated the greatness of the Red Heart Society!

Perhaps only such a noble and devoted society can lead all of humanity towards a brighter and better future.

In October of the 131st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society of the Kingdom of Farah invited high-ranking officers from the kingdom's border troops, guards, and field armies to the Red Heart Society to personally witness the infrastructure marvel created by the Red Heart Society in a very short period of time.

The world has changed dramatically in just a few years!

[A dramatic shift in social attitudes in just a few years!]

The Kingdom of Farah is actually quite familiar with the Federation.

[After all, there is a certain economic and trade foundation between the two countries, and as a high-ranking military officer, he has even come to the Federation to sell new military equipment from the Kingdom of Farah.]

Therefore, they knew how lowly and helpless the people were during the federal period.

There was absolutely no light in their eyes.

But now, everyone's eyes are filled with longing for a better life, filled with expectations for a perfect existence.

【people!】

To be alive in this world is to enjoy life, and it is also to strive!

That so-called suffering and hardship is simply because vampires are crawling on the heads of those at the bottom, sucking their blood.

When the powerful families were wiped out and the nobility was eradicated, people were astonished to find that their income was more than enough to support themselves, and even allow them to live very well!

Therefore, they love the Red Heart Society and will target all of its enemies.

After the generals of the Kingdom of Farah finished their tour, they all fell silent.

They, too, wanted their country to become that powerful.

At least when they are at war with foreign powers or at world conferences, no other country dares to glare at them.

Those empires dared not trample on their dignity at will.

A blazing flame of patriotism burned brightly in their hearts.

They must become strong!

They hope that one day they can be as powerful as the Red Heart Society!

Of course, there's another point: they believe that under the influence of such an advanced system, the Red Heart Society of the Kingdom of Farah will surely overthrow everything and succeed.

So after they returned, they secretly began joining the Red Heart Society of the Kingdom of Farah.

[In the same month, a dramatic change occurred in the direction of the capital city during winter.]

To everyone's surprise, terrifying abyssal demonic energy erupted from the location of the Winter Palace, instantly engulfing the vast Winter Imperial Capital.

[In the darkness, that projected will, existing only in the abyss, crossed the barriers of the world and descended upon the Winter Empire!]
