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

In the year 102687 of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society, having painstakingly rebuilt itself from ruins and sparks and absorbed some of the legacy of its predecessors, once again saw its power and ambition expand to a new critical point.

[The high degree of internal unity reflects a purer and more unwavering commitment to the ideals of loyalty, forged through trials and tribulations.]

[The immense scale and technological leaps gained from conquering and studying numerous fragments of the great worlds propelled this revived civilization into an era of great expeditions filled with bloodshed and conquest.]

The Red Heart Society's fleet, like a silver torrent, swept across the desolate and fertile lands of the universe, with Star Abyss at its core.

Their goal is clear: to find, discover, and accept all quasi-great worlds that naturally arise in the void or evolve from fragments of larger worlds, possessing a certain scale and potential.

[Regarding these discovered near-Greater Worlds, the Red Heart Society offered a seemingly civilized but actually ruthless choice.]

[Open your doors, accept the rules and culture of the Red Heart Society, and become an equal member of the Red Heart Community.]

Alternatively, reject the beacon of civilization emanating from the Red Heart Society.

[As for the latter, the Loyal Expeditionary Force never hesitates, directly launching a devastating war of conquest with its overwhelming military and technological superiority, crushing the resistance of these despondents and shattering the world's structure.]

Finally, using a colossal device inherited and improved from the era of the Heart Demon God, combining plundering and refining techniques, these quasi-great worlds, along with their accumulated primordial essence accumulated over billions of years, were all refined into the purest flow of rule energy and matter.

These primal sources act like conduits for nutrients, continuously filling the vast world of Chixin, which Chixin has painstakingly constructed.

[Under this almost predatory infusion of massive amounts of origin and rules, the Crimson Heart Great World began to grow rapidly, like a balloon being inflated.]

Its scale is expanding daily, its internal network of rules is becoming increasingly complex and stable, and the global fluctuations it emits are becoming increasingly powerful, increasingly possessing the rudiments and might of a truly great world.

This left researchers studying the history of the Red Heart Great World bewildered. During the era of the Red Heart Society headquarters, when there were numerous True Gods of Rules and more than one Transcendent Being, the Red Heart Great World's development was extremely slow.

During the reign of the Heart Demon God, the Red Heart Society flourished, and the Red Heart Great World experienced considerable development.

However, unexpectedly, in the post-Red Heart era, with the absence of transcendent beings and the remnants of the true gods of rules, the Red Heart Great World experienced an unprecedented rate of advancement.

It can only be said that fate is cruel!

[In the year 108852 of the Extraordinary Calendar, the glorious achievements of the Great Expedition reached a significant peak.]

The Red Heart Society's territory has expanded to a dazzling extent. All known quasi-great worlds in the vast universe that possess development potential, regardless of their remote locations or bizarre rules, have been brought under the Red Heart Society's control.

Some of them became colonies and resource-producing areas directly under the Red Heart Society, while others were transformed into massive military fortresses, research hubs, or population breeding bases.

The banner of the Red Heart Society has been planted in almost every known territory suitable for civilization.

[At this unprecedented and glorious moment, when it nearly monopolizes all known high-quality resources in the world, the Red Heart Society's overall strength, technological level, and cultural influence have reached a new peak since its founding.]

[In some aspects, such as territory, total population, and control of basic resources, it far surpasses them.]

Logically speaking, with such a vast and boundless resource base, such a large population, and such an advanced technology and education system, the True God of Rules, as the pinnacle of individual power, should be even more glorious.

[The number of their creations should be entering a period of vigorous growth, even explosive increase.]

Even those at higher levels, with such fertile ground and endless resources, should have more geniuses and lucky individuals able to touch that barrier and eagerly attempt to break through. However, a strange phenomenon has emerged that has perplexed and even unsettled all the high-ranking members and researchers of the Red Heart Society.

Despite the Red Heart Society's current prosperity, its territory and resources far exceed those of any previous period.

However, the frequency and number of times true gods of rules are born have not increased as expected, but have instead shown a slow downward trend.

[Its overall numbers and promotion efficiency are far inferior to the Red Heart Society during the period dominated by the Heart Demon God, and it cannot be compared with the golden age of the Red Heart Society's headquarters when its founder was in charge, surrounded by powerful enemies, and flourishing amidst crises.]

It's like a giant who owns the entire ocean, yet struggles to produce even a few decent pearls.

This paradox of a massive mismatch between resource input and cutting-edge output, cast a shadow over the Red Heart Society, which was then at the height of its celebrations, prompting profound reflection across civilization from top to bottom.

Countless wise men, researchers, and historians were mobilized in an attempt to unravel this mystery.

Initially, a simple conjecture emerged.

Could it be that crises and external pressures are the key catalysts that give rise to the true god of rules?

Has comfort and prosperity eroded the will to strive and the urgency to push limits?

However, after in-depth research and data modeling analysis of its own vast history, this conjecture was quickly refuted.

【Do not! 】

That's not how it works!

[Recent research indicates that during the recognized golden age of the Red Heart Society, even in a relatively peaceful development phase without large-scale external invasions, the number of True Gods born continued to flourish.]

Pressure may accelerate breakthroughs for some individuals, but it is by no means the decisive factor.

Therefore, the problem must lie in another reason.

This reason is deeply rooted in the current social structure, cultural atmosphere, education system, and even the individual mental state of the Red Heart Society.

[The highest level of existence, like a true god, who can transcend the limitations of mortal lifespan, touch the origin of rules, and achieve a certain degree of eternity, would be deeply desired by everyone from top to bottom at the peak of their development.]

After all, more true gods mean a more stable rule, greater military power, and a more fundamental elevation of civilization.

Of course, while it is difficult for a true god to be born, it is not entirely impossible for him to be born.

[In the seemingly bountiful but actually somewhat barren world of the Red Heart Society, a very small number of truly exceptionally talented or incredibly fortunate individuals are still able to break through invisible shackles, successfully ignite the divine flame, and ascend to the throne of divinity.]

These true gods of the rules, who have struggled to grow in the desert, often possess extraordinary willpower, talent, luck, and resilience.

[After all, normal people, even ordinary geniuses, can't even perceive the final layer of the barrier between the rules and true gods, let alone become true gods!] (End of Chapter)
