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

Chapter 167 Manipulating the Will of the Setting Sun (5k)

This kind of protest, which rejects violence, left the Red Heart Army completely stunned.

[In essence, the noble bloodlines wanted to use this action to tell the Red Heart Army that they were inexhaustible, and therefore, to better rule this region, they needed to cooperate with them.]

【Violence! 】

This doesn't solve anything!

[Aside from exacerbating the problem, it will have almost no effect!]

[Killing too many soldiers could even lead to severe mental illnesses among them.]

[After all, their hands are stained with human blood, especially those of enlightened individuals who do not resist but instead raise awareness and protest. This will undoubtedly become a nightmare for many soldiers.]

Only by giving them a better life and granting them privileges can they help the Red Heart Army rule this region.

They can guarantee that the untouchables in this area will not dare to resist.

The Red Heart Army simply laughed at the bizarre ideas of the noble bloodlines.

[Can't kill them all?]

How could they possibly not be killed off?

The Red Heart Society—they mobilize the entire population as soldiers!

Putting everything else aside, if each person kills one, there simply aren't enough of these noble bloodlines to go around!

[They can start killing immediately if their superior gives the order!]

As for the resulting killings?

As staunchly loyal soldiers, they wouldn't even consider these issues!

[Back then, the Red Heart Society was the ones who took action to purge those old-fashioned aristocratic families!]

[And these noble families of the Peacock Empire, in their conduct and even their exploitation, surpass even the Federal aristocratic families.]

Therefore, even if the soldiers of the Red Heart Army were to cruelly torture these noble bloodlines to death, let alone kill them, they would feel nothing.

[They might even think, "Good riddance!"]

They deserve to die from the moment they began exploiting the lower classes!

Upon learning of this, Deng Qi immediately issued an order to kill anyone who tried to obstruct him!

[For a time, the Peacock Province, which was undergoing a massive construction project, was teeming with people.]

The Red Heart Army demonstrated through their actions just how ridiculous the ideas of these noble bloodlines who dared to obstruct them were!

[Even the Red Heart Army's killings were more ferocious than they had imagined.]

Those who obstruct us—not only kill them, but also their entire families and descendants!

[Exterminate their entire family!]

[Collective punishment!]

The Red Heart Society's practice of eradicating its enemies is seen as an act of demonic depravity by the noble bloodline.

The soldiers of the Loyal Heart Army were unconcerned about this.

To be called a demon by the enemy is their honor!

You can't expect the enemy to call you a good person, while your own people call you a devil, can you?

What's that called?

Is he a bully at home?

[In January of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after years of refinement, the Bright Moon Battle Qi within you has finally been honed to its perfect state.]

In an instant, the battle aura that shone with the radiance of the bright moon began to emanate a golden light.

[In the same month, with the help of the Crimson Heart Battle Group, you completed the sixth job advancement quest and officially became a sixth-job professional.]

[With your successful advancement, the Moonlit Battle Qi within you has officially been upgraded to Sunlit Battle Qi.]

[The next moment, your battle aura domain undergoes another transformation.]

[Level 2 Battle Qi Domain evolves into Level 3 Battle Qi Domain.]

With all the enhancements stacked up, and under the influence of innate abilities, a new function slowly unfolds.

[Function: Within this domain, those loyal to you will receive a certain boost in the refining speed of Divine Crystals. The more loyal they are, the faster the refining speed of Divine Crystals will increase.]

You looked at this feature and paused slightly, slightly taken aback.

[As a sixth-tier professional, if you only unleash your Battle Aura Domain, without consuming your life force, the Sunfire Battle Aura within your body can sustain you for a very long time.]

[If combined with the Qi recovery potion developed by the Red Heart Society, along with the recovery effect of the Insect Mother Battle Suit, and with some support professionals who can restore one's Qi assisting from the rear, then it might not be impossible to keep it running indefinitely.]

Your surroundings may become a sacred place for cultivation, where divinely bestowed crystals can be refined.

The current members of the Crimson Heart Battle Group are burning their lifespans to accelerate the efficiency of the Divinely Gifted Crystals using the Crimson Heart Refining Method, and are using the Crimson Heart Enhancement Method in the Abyss to further enhance the efficiency.

[In conjunction with the epic accessories I'm wearing, this enhances the refining efficiency of Divine Crystals three times.]

【Now! 】

[Right now!]

[As long as they stay by your side, you can increase the refining efficiency of Divine Crystals four times.]

Under these circumstances, their efficiency in refining divinely bestowed crystals increased dramatically.

Seeing this scene, you feel a surge of emotion.

[After nine revolutions, as long as there is sufficient experience and energy, one can level up.]

[And for those who aspire to become Nine-Turn professionals, the Red Heart Society now has a comprehensive support system based on its theoretical framework.]

Perhaps in the future, after the arrival of the Supreme Lords, every member of the Crimson Heart Battle Legion will possess the power of a Ninth-Rank Warrior!

How powerful would a battle group of ninth-tier professional warriors, clad in super armor and epic or even legendary sets, unleash?

This is something you're really looking forward to.

In February of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Deng Qi commanded the Red Heart Army, trampling over the secondary capital of the Sunset Empire and besieging the capital.

However, due to the continuous reforms of the Sunset Empire over the years, the quality of life for the lower classes in the Sunset Empire has improved rapidly.

Therefore, the Red Heart Society faced immense resistance after conquering the provinces of the Sunset Empire.

Deng Qi has his own countermeasures for this.

【Just kill them all!】

Deng Qi also harbored a deep-seated hatred for this country.

If it weren't for the repeated troubles this country has caused, the Red Heart Society could have had a much brighter future.

Thus began a shocking massacre that saw no restraint on the sword.

In the same month, after capturing the Frostwinter Defense Line and breaking through the defenses of the three major fortresses of the Frostwinter Empire, Lin Xue commanded her army to advance into the Frostwinter Empire.

She had initially thought that the Winter Empire was a force that could be won over and won over.

[But the Winter Empire's research into the Abyss, its experiments with the Abyss, and its actions that attracted the projected will of the Abyss made her realize that the best way for this nation to exist was to be destroyed.]

Only the Red Heart Society can take over everything here and prevent the Abyss from invading.

[It's not that we're preventing the Abyss from invading, but delaying it for a few years would greatly benefit the Red Heart Society's development.]

[When the Crimson Heart Society reaches its peak, we will remove and imprison the projected wills of the Abyss for thorough research!]

To better strike at the Sunset Empire and the Winter Empire, the Red Heart Society will utilize all its capabilities simultaneously.

In March of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, facing a life-or-death crisis, the Winter Empire secured the support of a hidden force—the Black and White Divine Palace—by offering massive amounts of benefits.

You vaguely sense that something is amiss.

So, you sent the old general, who was diligently refining the divinely bestowed crystal and charging towards level 96, on a pilgrimage.

[Having experienced several failed attempts in spacetime, you know that the will of the Abyss projection will adjust its strategy accordingly based on the changes you make.]

Therefore, you deeply abhor anything unexpected.

Before the will of the abyss descends, we must not allow external forces to interfere with the soon-to-be-destroyed Winter Empire.

[The old general arrived in the Frosty Winter Empire and forcefully stormed in. While clearing out the personnel related to the Black and White Divine Palace, three ninth-level professionals, seeing no hope of escape, ultimately committed suicide at close range, leaving the old general trembling in his soul.]

However, before leaving, the old general still managed to make the defensive formation of the Winter Capital tremble violently, on the verge of collapse.

[In the same month, a super-enhancing agent called the Secret Medicine inexplicably appeared in the Winter Empire.]

This super enhancer uses an unknown technology; after a professional takes it, they will enter a state of mental euphoria, experience an expansion of their soul power, and even have a corresponding amplification buff appear on their character's stats.

According to precise data obtained by the Red Heart Society, soldiers of the Winter Empire who have taken the super-enhancing agent can unleash combat power exceeding their own level by more than seven.

[Relevant intelligence personnel quickly discovered that this super enhancer was actually produced by the Black and White Divine Palace!]

[I never imagined that the Black and White Divine Palace would harbor such advanced technology!]

If the side effects of this so-called super enhancer aren't too severe, then it might be possible to produce it as a military supply.

As for what constitutes significant side effects?

The cost of soul collapse from the Burning Life Secret Technique and the Exploding Life Secret Technique is something the Red Heart Society can bear in future wars, let alone these.

In May of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Winter Empire, aided by this batch of super-enhancing agents, managed to fight its way out of the encirclement.

[Amidst the fierce battle between the two sides, the Red Heart Society also gathered sufficient data from the battlefield.]

[The guard regiment even took advantage of this time to bring back the bodies of some of the dead soldiers of the Winter Empire.]

It wasn't that they didn't want to capture a group of living Winter Soldiers; it was simply that these soldiers, who had taken super-enhanced drugs, were far too ferocious.

Once they enter the battlefield, they become a ferocious force, fighting to the death.

If they cannot escape, they will even use their purest will to detonate their own souls in a suicide attack.

[This isn't the fighting stance of a Winter Soldiers!] [The Red Heart Society has been fighting the Winter Empire for so many years, they know their old neighbor quite well. While Winter Soldiers are slightly stronger than Federation soldiers, they aren't that much stronger.]

Therefore, the problem lies with this super enhancer.

After using the corpses of the Winter Soldiers as samples, the Red Heart Research Institute quickly began to study them carefully.

Soon, the results were revealed to everyone.

This so-called super-enhancing agent is essentially a kind of super stimulant with extremely strong addictive properties.

[Once ingested, it will stimulate the professional's very soul, causing certain protective structures of the soul to self-destruct, thereby affecting the soul's stability and causing the user to exhibit extremely unstable and violent aggression.]

[And the powerful force briefly released after the soul's essence is stimulated will also enhance combat strength.]

But this enhancer has an expiration date.

If the time limit expires without a second dose being taken, the user will experience extreme suffering and may even exhibit severe suicidal tendencies.

[When not engaged in combat, the user needs to use a calming potion to maintain composure.]

In short, this is an addictive drug that temporarily boosts combat power at the cost of destroying one's own future.

You listened to these introductions, your brows furrowing slightly.

Although the Life-Burning Secret Technique will cause the cultivator's soul to collapse, the cultivator can maintain their rationality and continue fighting until the soul collapses.

[But this super-enhancing agent provided by the Black and White Shrine sounds a bit like a mind control drug, doesn't it?]

[Therefore, you turn your attention back to the super enhancer.]

This kind of trash doesn't even qualify as a life-destroying technique, let alone a life-burning technique for staged accidents.

Even the most sincere efforts pale in comparison.

[Of course, the Winter Empire has already rolled out this technology throughout its entire army. The Winter Empire's high command hopes to use this method to stop or even counter-invade the Red Heart Society.]

Therefore, the data related to super enhancers will be abundant on the front lines.

Therefore, this kind of thing can be left for further study.

[If it were possible to eliminate the uncontrollable situation and addictive nature through certain means, retaining only the enhancing effect, he felt it would be worth using.]

In June of the 128th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Winter Empire exchanged a super-enhancing agent formula for a large quantity of resources from the Sunset Empire.

[In the same month, the Sunset Empire sought to enhance the Abyss Mode of the Super Enhancer by leveraging its understanding of the Abyss.]

This situation was quickly detected by the Red Heart Society.

Without any hesitation, you swiftly ordered the Red Heart Army to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, a super military weapon capable of destroying everything descended upon Sunset Capital at incredible speed.

[As expected, human intervention negated the impact of the super military weapon.]

Before the Sunset Emperor could even rejoice, two more super military weapons flew out from the direction of the Red Heart Society.

You are completely unconcerned about the outburst of the Sunset Empire's will.

At this very moment, you quietly arrived among the retreating Red Heart Army.

You are mentally prepared for the backlash from the Sunset Empire.

[The Sunset Empire has people willing to protect it, but does the Red Heart Society have no such protection?]

At worst, we'll have a clash of wills!

The Sunset Empire is doomed to perish, no matter what.

[If one super military weapon isn't enough, then ten!]

If ten aren't enough, then a hundred!

[In recent years, the Red Heart Society has been working tirelessly to develop various military structures in order to build a sufficient number of super military weapons as quickly as possible.]

[In the previous timeline, you used super military weapons to blackmail the Sunset Empire, using their resources to develop your own various industries.]

[They even sent military veterans to suppress the Sunset Empire, just to prevent them from researching the Abyss!]

In a sense, the Sunset Empire's large number of professionals also constitutes a form of human resource.

[It can also serve as a barrier to the invasion of the Abyss.]

Unexpectedly, everything was going well, but then problems arose on the Winter Empire's side.

[Since that's the case, let's just annihilate them!]

When the Red Heart Association displays the stats and explosive effects of super military weapons, it means they don't actually intend to destroy the Sunset Empire.

The Red Heart Society has been effectively promoting the plan for a great human unity.

Otherwise, in the previous timeline, the Red Heart Society wouldn't have provided such extensive funding to so many ideal states, hoping they would grow up quickly and become independent.

[Originally, according to your plan, as long as one of these ideal states could grow and share the burden with the Red Heart Society, then the Red Heart Society's investment would not have been in vain.]

[As a result, these ideal states not only failed to grow, but actually hindered the Red Heart Society.]

How can anyone not be angry?

So this time you might as well wipe out these empires and destroy those countries.

[With the Red Heart Society as your foundation, you must build a great nation!]

Only when true world nations are established, mobilizing the power of the entire world, can we truly contend with the abyss.

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!"

No country can be relied upon!

So, we're not relying on them anymore! And we're not training them anymore!

Regardless, the Sunset Empire will surely perish today!

The second super military weapon, despite the Sunset Empire's protection, failed to completely neutralize the energy fluctuations it generated.

The aftershocks caused by it created an extremely violent impact on the surrounding area.

When the third super weapon fell, the seemingly indestructible protection of human will finally shattered.

[The unstoppable super weapon, unleashing terrifying power, instantly reduced the entire Sunset Empire to nothingness.]

【Boom! 】

Unparalleled golden lightning began to gather above the ruins of the Sunset Empire.

The will of the Sunset Empire, having lost its foundation, began to coalesce in the skies above.

[From the depths of the universe, an unparalleled killing intent has crossed time and space, locking onto you.]

But just as a sense of crisis arises in your heart, the dormant human will within you begins to awaken.

[The moment you awaken, you can feel a subtle fluctuation in the will within your body, almost like a dazed reaction.]

[This was immediately followed by an unparalleled ferocity.]

[The will within you!]

[I'm furious!]

An unprecedented rage erupted from within you.

Unparalleled power unfolds in your hands.

The lurking will within you did not, as usual, transform into a golden sea of ​​lightning to completely crush the enemy.

[The setting sun's will to lock onto you is nothing short of a provocation!]

How much human sway did the Sunset Empire actually provide?

[With the complete awakening of the loyal and devoted, the locking of the sunset's will is nothing short of a blatant provocation!]

【Buzz buzz】

[Your skin begins to shimmer with golden light.]

Your eyes are veiled in a golden light.

[In your hands, boundless power is brewing.]

At this moment, you feel stronger than ever before, like a war god emerging from ancient times, possessing terrifying divine power capable of destroying everything.

[Throughout history, your profound understanding of human nature has transformed into the power you now wield.]

The golden lightning gathering above the Sunset Empire, in your eyes, seems as laughable as a child's boxing.

Most importantly, this brat stands before you, a superhuman wielding a greatsword, clad in armor, and possessing extraordinary power, attempting to defeat you with his feeble fists.

Is this a joke?

So you slowly reach out and shake hands.

The next moment, the seemingly terrifying sunset, under the forceful pull of an invisible power, instantly transformed into tiny golden lightning bolts, appearing in your hand.

[The enraged Sunset Man's will—that's a being capable of killing a ninth-tier professional!]

Even mundane forces are utterly powerless before the waning will of the setting sun.

But now, this terrifying power is like a toy to be manipulated at your mercy.

Your performance instantly caused a stir among all the loyal soldiers around you!

【god!】

Your performance just now was divine!

【really! 】

Their faith, everything they are—truly possesses an unparalleled and awe-inspiring power!
