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

In September of the Extraordinary Calendar 1315, while the four transcendent beings of the Red Heart Society were clashing with the avatar of the Spirit Realm's will that had descended upon the Star Abyss, shattering the galaxy, the Will of Hell was silently carrying out its most perfect harvest of this era.

The fragments and rule-based dust containing the pure power of the Great World's origin, scattered after the Abyss Will's incarnation perished, now mostly float like ownerless stardust on the chaotic edge of the Star Abyss Battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Red Heart Society is fully engaged in hunting down the Spirit Realm incarnation. The barriers and interference erected by Star Demon God and others are mainly aimed at the greedy tentacles that the Spirit Realm's will will subsequently extend. For the Hell Will, which has already locked onto its prey, this is simply a godsend.

He used His great power to greedily and efficiently sweep away all these ownerless treasures.

The Will of Hell trembled slightly at this unexpected windfall, but without the slightest hesitation, it initiated the most thorough refining process almost immediately upon acquiring these fragments of origin.

In the next instant, the crimson authority transformed into an invisible furnace, frantically devouring and decomposing the essence originating from the abyss, while simultaneously fusing it into its own body.

This kind of thing needs to be dealt with while it's still fresh!

Delay may lead to unforeseen changes!

The logic of the Hellish Will is cold and efficient. It is not a fool like the Spirit Realm Will, blinded by hatred. It would never miss a crucial opportunity to strengthen itself for the sake of some vague revenge at the critical moment of reaping spoils!

Just as the will of hell was feasting, the voice of the will of the spirit world echoed around them.

Hell, come quickly to my aid!

[Those lunatics from the Red Heart Society are besieging my avatar. If we join forces, we can surely cripple them and avenge our defeat!]

The legacy of the abyss, I can share with you.

[To the nonsense spouted by the Spirit Realm's will, the Hell's will responded with only a silent sneer and an even more efficient refining speed.]

[To help the spirit world?]

What a joke!

[Last time I sat back and watched the tigers fight, I made a fortune!]

This time, the Red Heart Society will clash to the death with the incarnation of the Spirit Realm, another classic battle of wits and strength.

How could I possibly miss such a wonderful opportunity to profit?

Let the Spirit Realm and the Red Heart Society continue fighting, the more brutal the better!

Ideally, both sides should suffer heavy losses!

Of course, the considerations of the Will of Hell go far beyond the surface.

He knew all too well the terrifying potential Ye Lingtian displayed when he killed the Abyss Avatar, and what his profound state of enlightenment after the battle meant.

Once this Lord of Slaughter completes his breakthrough, his power will undergo a radical transformation.

Therefore, while the potential gains from remaining on the sidelines this time are greater, the risks are also far greater than last time.

[His immense will, reaching into the abyss to seize fragments of origin, has always maintained the highest level of concealment, and has pre-set multiple spatial jump coordinates for instantaneous tail-cutting for survival.]

[As long as He is fast enough and refines the spoils thoroughly enough, He can instantly leave this Star Abyss battlefield with the spoils before Ye Lingtian completes his advancement and the Red Heart Society is free to settle accounts.]

Therefore, the amount of power He invested will surely allow Him to escape unscathed.

[Risks are manageable, but the returns are huge!]

[The mind of the Hellish Will was racing, every variable was being calculated, and every possible escape route was crystal clear.]

Everything is under His control.

In November of the year 1349 of the Extraordinary Calendar, deep within the Star Abyss headquarters of the Crimson Heart Society, in a secluded meditation chamber constructed entirely of pure rule power, a long-dormant aura was undergoing its final transformation and sublimation.

[Aglaus, a Red Heart Society fighter who, in previous timelines, shed his blood and sacrificed everything for the ideals of the Red Heart Society countless times, even giving his life to cover the retreat of his comrades in desperate situations.]

At this moment, His figure sat like an ancient rock, enthroned at the center of the boiling fragments of the abyss's origin.

[He did not directly absorb this raging chaotic magical energy, but rather used it as a whetstone and a quenching liquid to repeatedly temper and sublimate his own body of rules, which had already been honed to its limits.]

He closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind replaying Ye Lingtian's peerless sword strike that annihilated the Abyss's incarnation on the Star Abyss battlefield, the intricate trajectory of the Heart Demon God manipulating the rules of the mind to weave the Net of Annihilation, and the vast and boundless power of the Star Demon God drawing upon the Star Abyss. [A century of observation, a century of understanding, a century of accumulation!]

Finally, at the instant the abyss's essence was completely refined and absorbed, a dazzling light, seemingly capable of piercing the shackles of fate, erupted from Agrelius's body.

【boom--!】

A silent tremor of rules swept across the heavens, and Agrus's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open. His gaze no longer held burning fighting spirit, but rather a deep, tranquil light, as profound as the abyss itself, born from the wisdom and sacrifice of countless timelines.

The invisible barrier that had plagued countless true gods and led to higher realms shattered under the impact of his power, a fusion of the profound essence of the abyss, the purity of his unwavering ideals, and his indomitable will.

[He has finally joined the first tier of true gods of rules!]

At the moment of His success, the core leadership of the Red Heart Society, including the veterans who had been secretly watching, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although in this era of transcendent beings, the top-tier rule gods are no longer at the pinnacle of combat power.

But everyone who knows Aglios's history and has witnessed his countless choices knows perfectly well that...

From the moment Agrus stepped into the first tier, he already possessed true combat power comparable to, or even threatening, ordinary transcendents.

The reason is simple: he is Aglios!

[That fighter who, in moments of despair across multiple time periods, could unhesitatingly choose to ignite everything within himself for the Red Heart Society and for the beliefs in his heart.]

[Whenever his sincere heart faces a true crisis, whenever someone is needed to step forward and bear the heaviest price, Agrelius will not hesitate to ignite himself, unleashing a power beyond limits, enough to shake the universe.]

This point has already been proven countless times by blood and fire throughout the long history of the Red Heart Society.

[Without a doubt!]

As the founder of the Red Heart Society, upon learning of Aglios's successful ascension, a hint of indescribable relief and satisfaction flickered in your eyes.

[The Star Demon God, the Heart Demon God, the Source Demon God, and the Lord of Power—while powerful, they are currently an indispensable peak fighting force for the Red Heart Society.]

Ultimately, however, they were either bound by self-interest, seeking the secret of transcendence, or drawn by the potential of the Red Heart Society.

They were not truly like-minded comrades of the Red Heart Society.

While Ye Lingtian, though born into the resistance, shared many of the Red Heart Society's early goals and was deeply influenced by them, this bond was undoubtedly strong. However, compared to the influence and confidence that Agris brought to the Red Heart Society, it was still different.

That's Agris!

This fighter, who has survived countless cycles of time and faced numerous dire situations and choices that would shake even the faith of gods and demons, has always stood steadfastly under the banner of the Red Heart Society.

His soul had long been thoroughly cleansed by his unwavering ideals through countless sacrifices and dedications.

Every drop of His blood was imbued with unwavering loyalty to His ideals!

[He is the living history of the Red Heart Society's rise from humble beginnings to become the overlord of Star Abyss today; he is the purest embodiment of the Red Heart spirit.]

In your heart, Agris is the only true, irreplaceable, and loyal follower.

[They are our own people, who have withstood the test of time and space, and whom we can entrust with our lives!]

【finally!】

[Within the ranks of the elders, and within the hall symbolizing the highest fighting power of the Red Heart Society, a supreme true god was born, originating from the Red Heart Society's own bloodline and inheriting the purest Red Heart will.]

The significance of Agris's promotion to the first tier goes far beyond a leap in personal strength.

This is a watershed moment, a signal!

This further signifies a major turning point for Chixinhui, shifting from reliance on external assistance to self-reliance!

This also means that the Red Heart Society, with its accumulated strategic power, can finally set aside some of its concerns and truly begin its grand plan. (End of Chapter)
