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

The rise of the Crimson Heart is something neither the Abyss nor the Spirit Realm can accept.

What unsettles the Abyss even more is that while the demise of the Heart Demon God seems like an inevitable end to the burning process, how long can a transcendent being on a downward trajectory, with a massive supply of Hell's essence, continue down this path?

What if Chixin uses these origins to actually catalyze the emergence of a new transcendent being before its demise?

Even a newly promoted Transcendent being is enough to alter the balance of power for the next ten thousand years.

After all, the world we live in today is no longer at its peak.

[Or rather, if there is any great world still at its peak, then preparations for the unification of the universe can begin.]

Even the weakest hell in the past, as long as it remains at its peak, can still wipe them all out.

In other words, the world today can no longer withstand the ultimate sublimation of a transcendent being.

With this in mind, the will of the abyss made up its mind.

He no longer fixated on immediately fighting the inner demon on the front lines, nor did he place too much importance on the immediate struggle for those scattered fragments.

[He will engage in a dangerous division of labor with the will of the spirit realm, with the spirit realm's will directly and forcefully intercepting and restraining the inner demon god, even at a significant cost.]

[And He, the Will of the Abyss, will mobilize all the power at his disposal, directly traversing the void to launch a full-scale attack aimed at the complete annihilation of the Red Heart Society's headquarters in the Star Abyss.]

[As long as we destroy the foundation of the Red Heart Society and annihilate its new generation in one fell swoop.]

Even if the Demon God were incredibly powerful and obtained the origin of hell, he would still lose his future.

A lone individual without the support of miracles poses a significantly reduced threat.

Moreover, destroying the Red Heart Society would fundamentally eliminate any possibility of it cultivating new transcendent beings.

[For this reason, even if it means temporarily enduring the frenzied counterattack that the Heart Demon God might launch due to the attack on its lair, even if it means the Spirit Realm's will has to bear greater pressure on the front lines, the Abyss is willing to do it.]

The focus of this war has thus been fatally shifted.

In the year 56277 of the Extraordinary Era, the Abyss Will and the Spirit Realm Will, for the first time, completely abandoned their vigilance and mutual scheming due to the terrifying threat posed by the Heart Demon God and the Red Heart Society, and reached a consensus.

Looking back and examining themselves, a realization tinged with immense regret and a sense of absurdity arose in the minds of both the Abyss Will and the Spirit Realm Will.

Once upon a time, any one of the three complete Great Worlds possessed the absolute power and status to annihilate the then-nascent Red Heart Society.

Not to mention, if the three great worlds could have truly united from the beginning, what an overwhelming and unstoppable torrent of destruction it would have been!

If, in the early stages of the Red Heart Society's rise, they hadn't engaged in internal strife, hindered each other, or even taken advantage of other great worlds for short-term gains, would the war have dragged on to this point?

[It's likely that the so-called Red Heart Society was nipped in the bud long ago, leaving not even a spark.]

If the three great worlds could have set aside their past grievances and cooperated sincerely from the very beginning, how could the founder of the Red Heart Society have risen against all odds and severely damaged the three realms? And how could the Heart Demon God have made such a mad feat as to return with overwhelming force today?

How could the dignity and authority of this great world have fallen to such a precarious and wretched state, barely able to protect itself?

This kind of reflection brings sharp pain. Although throughout the countless years of the past, the three great worlds were filled with mutual attacks, constraints, devouring, and betrayals; that entangled and hostile relationship, where each was intertwined with the other, was once the norm.

But in this desperate situation where the Red Heart Society is about to complete its feat of annihilating a world and is clearly turning its attention to the remaining two worlds, the old ways seem too idyllic.

Looking back at that relatively safe state of affairs—a world where the powerful looked down on everything, viewing all living beings as mere ants and resources to be exploited, manipulated, or even devoured—it's so nostalgic.

At least, at that time, the vast world was still the undisputed master of the universe, possessing a near-eternal lifespan and a transcendental view overlooking all living beings.

Regardless of internal strife, its existence is inherently stable, and its position is supreme.

[In any case, it's a thousand times better than being cornered by an ordinary organization and facing imminent dismemberment and plunder.]

Sadly, there are no "what ifs" in this world, and no way to turn back time or erase wrong choices.

Of course, based on the information we have, the legendary founder of the Red Heart Society, who supposedly fell from grace, seemed to possess a power that could touch time and space, almost like a magic pill for undoing past mistakes.

But that was precisely the enemy that drove them to their doom!

Perhaps in another altered branch of time, their fate would be even more tragic and swift.

However, none of that matters anymore.

The most urgent task is to do everything possible to overcome this fatal crisis that is about to engulf them!

Thus, having discarded the last vestiges of wishful thinking and selfishness, the cooperation between the Abyss and the Spirit Realm entered an unprecedented phase of efficiency and sincerity.

Their wills were in perfect sync in the void, their powers flowed in mutual support, and their defensive lines were interconnected.

On several occasions on the battlefield, there were instances where the will of the abyss actively mobilized its power to defend the vulnerable flanks of the spirit realm against the mental attacks of the Heart Demon God, while the will of the spirit realm also spared no expense in expending its own resources to pave the way for the abyss's offensive with intricate rules and barriers.

This depth of cooperation, where each side protects the other from fatal attacks, is unprecedented in the past billions of years.

Although the power gained by the Heart Demon God through burning everything was still terrifying, the unpredictable nature of its mental rules also caused enormous losses to the allied forces of the two realms.

However, under the combined, relentless, and perfectly coordinated suppression of the two great worlds' wills, the balance of power began to slowly but steadily tilt.

The layers of defenses erected by the Heart Demon God to protect the Red Heart Society's headquarters, under the relentless bombardment and rule-breaking from the wills of both realms, began to groan in despair. Cracks appeared on its surface, its light rapidly dimmed, and its overall structure was on the verge of collapse.

The multidimensional labyrinths that lie on the outskirts of the Star Abyss, the rule barriers that draw energy from the void to repair themselves, and the disruptive force fields that can deflect and weaken the tentacles of power in the greater worlds are all declining in strength.

The union of two great worlds is still too terrifying.

[A spectacle and a situation never before witnessed by any living being in the entire universe for countless years.]

Today, I met the Demon God of My Heart!

[And the Red Heart Society experienced it firsthand!] (End of Chapter)
