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

For the new members of the Red Heart Society who later converted to the True God of Rules, their mentality constantly oscillated between greedy demands and suppressed dissatisfaction.

They clearly recognized the immense, unimaginable benefits that the Pure Heart Society could bring them: the path to higher levels of power, and the alluring prospect of potentially attaining transcendence.

Therefore, outwardly they diligently served the Red Heart Society, carrying out their tasks and contributing divine power, daring not to slacken in the slightest.

But deep within the hearts of these deities, who are accustomed to being high above and regarding all living beings as ants, the rules and regulations of the Red Heart Society—which emphasize equality, restraint of the strong, and service to the weak—are utterly absurd.

It's like an invisible shackle around your neck; it's utterly absurd!

How could such an organization, so contrary to divine principles and common sense, come into being in this world?

[They actually demand that we, the true gods, submit to rules set by mortal ants?]

[Are they really going to indiscriminately throw resources and shelter at those worthless people who can't even be ignited by divine fire?]

This is blasphemy against the authority of the true God!

[It's a distortion of the very nature of power!]

What they found most unbelievable was how this unorthodox organization had managed to grow to such a terrifying level—capable of hunting down the incarnations of the wills of the three worlds—within the cracks between them.

Those at the pinnacle of the Red Heart Society, especially Ye Lingtian known for his decisive ruthlessness, surely yearn for the supreme power to rule over everything, to decide life and death.

Why willingly accept the rule of a weakling, binding your own power to those ridiculous rules?

This deep-seated misunderstanding and resentment is like a malignant tumor lurking at the core of divinity.

Although the terrifying threat posed by Ye Lingtian and other transcendent beings hung like a sword over their heads, preventing them from openly rebelling.

However, under the constant, high-pressure surveillance of the all-pervasive Shadow Guard system within the Red Heart Society, undercurrents of discontent finally began to surface.

[Some cultivators, unwilling to be bound, began to extend their tentacles of betrayal outwards from the absolutely hidden dimensional rifts.]

They attempted, in an extremely covert manner, to contact the avatar of the spirit realm's will that lingered on the edge of the Star Abyss Battlefield, and the avatar of the hellish will, renowned for its cunning.

They yearn for the intervention of external forces, for a transformation that could overturn the existing order of the Red Heart Society.

Even if it means inviting wolves into the house, we're willing to do it, since the Red Heart Society wasn't founded by them anyway.

[It's ruined, so what?]

[As long as they can know how to walk the path of transcendence before destruction, that will suffice.]

In April of the year 1448 of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Will of Hell detected this signal originating from within the Red Heart Society.

[The Will of Hell instantly showed great interest and enthusiasm for this matter.]

[Could this trigger internal strife within the Red Heart Society?]

This is a golden opportunity!

[The heart of the Hellish Will shines with the light of self-interest; a united and cohesive organization like the Heart Society is a nightmare for any great world.]

[If we can successfully instigate an internal rebellion, causing the Red Heart Society's precious power of the True God of Rules to be greatly diminished in internal strife.]

That would be a dream come true for Hell!

In His calculations, the Red Heart Society, weakened by internal strife, will completely lose its ability to threaten Hell and will instead become a more trusted partner for Hell.

Or rather, easier-to-manipulate pieces.

A half-dead, half-alive Red Heart Society is actually a good ally that serves the interests of Hell!

[An organization capable of hunting down the embodiment of the will of a great world—the thought of keeping it intact and united is chilling.] [It must be weakened!]

At any cost!

Thus, the will of hell began to cautiously respond to those who rebelled against the gods, promising illusory support and carefully weaving a web of subversion.

In March of the Extraordinary Calendar year 1492, deep within the Star Abyss, the figure of Zhou Mo, an elder of the Crimson Heart Society, was immersed in an ocean of stellar rules personally evolved by the Star Demon God.

The Star Demon God's unparalleled power to manipulate galaxies with every gesture, and the fluctuations and collisions of its rules, were like the clearest cosmic codes, imprinted deep within Zhou Mo's perception.

He eagerly observed and analyzed the analysis, while the incomparably precious fragments of the Great World's Origin, acquired by the Red Heart Society, continuously nourished his body of rules, providing him with the abundant resources needed for his breakthrough.

At the very moment when this observation and accumulation reached a critical point, Zhou Mo's long-dormant inspiration suddenly erupted.

All of this was like a volcano dormant for billions of years suddenly awakening, an unprecedented torrent of enlightenment breaking through the barriers of cognition.

His physical body, governed by rules, underwent a transformation amidst a roar, and his divine rank, baptized by starlight, surged to the second tier of True Gods of Rules.

This is not the end, but the beginning of something even more earth-shattering.

The moment Zhou Mo successfully advanced and his divine status underwent its ultimate sublimation, his unparalleled talent in the Crimson Heart Society—his innate genius for cultivation techniques—was fully activated.

The instant of his advancement brought him the clearest and most fundamental insight into the rules of the universe, propelling his understanding of the rules of the stars to operate at a speed exceeding that of light.

His thinking penetrated through layers of appearances, pointing directly to the underlying logic of the rule system.

[An ultimate problem that has plagued the Red Heart Society and even the entire universe for countless years: the insurmountable barrier between a Nine-Turn Transcendent and a Demigod.]

This path requires individuals to independently comprehend and master a trace of the origin of the universe's rules; its difficulty is so high that it would cause 99% of peak ninth-level transcendent beings to despair and give up.

[Of these, becoming a demigod of rules is the most difficult.]

After all, a demigod's authority is nothing more than a waste of a little more authority if the will of the Great World desires it.

As for believing in demigods?

[With proper planning and control of public opinion, even a nobody can be molded into a hero.]

Only the rules make one a demigod!

This is not a problem that can be solved by simply piling up resources; it is the ultimate test of an individual's Daoist will, comprehension, talent, and aptitude.

Even with hundreds of true gods and profound foundations, the Red Heart Society could not pave this narrow bridge for all its members.

But right now!

[At the moment Zhou Mo ascended to the pinnacle of the second tier using the rules of the stars, amidst the myriad trajectories of the stars revealing the ultimate truths of the universe, he seemed to have captured an unprecedented path to demigodship among countless stars.]

【I see! 】

The path to becoming a demigod through rules isn't simply about charging forward.

[Let's change our approach, shift our mindset, and utilize the power of the stars to create an enveloping effect.]

The Red Heart Society might be able to create rule-based demigods on a large scale.

As the base number of demigods increases, the number of true gods in the Red Heart Society will inevitably grow over time!

[Until the future, surpassing everything!] (End of Chapter)
