Chapter 657
The Great World Agreement When Even Toilet Paper Is Too Hard
"Check."
The moment Lin Xia agreed, 500,000 Fate Points vanished like the receding tide.
The sheer intensity of this consumption is itself a clear signal.
Even after his death, the influence of the Red Heart Society, which he founded, still had an unprecedented impact on the global landscape.
The three great worlds—the Abyss, Hell, and the Spirit Realm—after a long and fierce battle and mutual weakening, are still able to be stirred up by the Red Heart Society, which is no longer at its peak.
This demonstrates just how terrifying the subversive power inherent in the path of the true god of pure ideals and rules is.
In the past, such a huge expenditure on a destiny point would have been enough for Lin Xia to carefully weigh the pros and cons, and might even have caused her a sharp pain, but things are different now.
Having achieved the status of a supreme god, his perspective and methods have long transcended worldly concerns.
The method of harvesting destiny points has become simple and efficient. The existence and decisions of any true god are intertwined with the fate of billions of living beings.
While brutal slaughter can yield a considerable number of points at once, it inevitably wastes these living sources.
An even more sophisticated approach is guidance, which involves leading them throughout their long divine lives to make choices that are diametrically opposed to their own authority and past decisions.
Every ripple of fate brought about by a disruption will converge into a trickle, continuously flowing into his pocket.
Therefore, these 500,000 Fate Points are not a cause for concern at the moment.
The future is unfolding.
[In the year 6485 of the Extraordinary Era, the three Great Worlds were quite annoyed that they had not seen any gifts left behind after your death.]
But the harsh realities of life, like cold chains, bound his impulsive limbs.
The protracted bloody battles have severely weakened all three sides. Powerful gods have fallen like rain, and the foundations of their faith have become unstable, unable to withstand another large-scale divine war.
[Under a tacit understanding born of extreme reluctance yet utter helplessness, a truce period long enough for mortal civilizations to cycle through several times over was agreed upon.]
The famous "Great World Agreement" was signed under the witness of the world.
Although all three great worlds understand that this treaty is only effective during the current recovery period.
Once any great world is fully restored, this treaty will be nothing more than toilet paper.
After all, Hell's backbone has been broken. Once the Abyss and the Spirit Realm recover somewhat, they will inevitably take action against Hell.
The core of the contract consists of only two points.
Within a million years, all conflicts at the level of divine wars will cease between the Three Realms.
[And, at all costs, the Red Heart Society and everything it represents must be completely wiped from the world.]
That unwavering determination to kill stemmed not merely from resentment towards Lin Xia, but also from a deep-seated fear.
The path of the True God of Rules, like a deadly poisonous vine, has quietly entwined itself around the foundations of the old god system.
[It does not rely on fragments of authority from the existing world; it is self-contained. Even more terrifying, it provides a clearly visible path of defection for those true gods of authority who are disillusioned with the existing path or harbor dissenting thoughts.]
The temptation to sacrifice old authority and build new paths is enough to cause any ruling order to collapse in turbulent times.
The wills of the three great worlds suddenly realized that they dared not even nurture their direct lineage of true gods with the same dedication as before. Because none could guarantee that the blade they had carefully cultivated wouldn't, at some point, sever its ties with the world and plunge into the flames of rebellion, driven by a thirst for power or dissatisfaction with the status quo.
The annihilation of the Red Heart Society and the abolition of the Divine Path of Rules have escalated from revenge into a life-or-death struggle to maintain the very foundation of their existence.
[With the contract in place, the extermination began immediately.]
In the year 6629 of the Extraordinary Calendar, after more than a century of relentless pursuit, the remaining forces of the Red Heart Society were forced to disperse and disperse.
Under such immense pressure, even though the Red Heart Society was quite powerful, they could only struggle to survive by constantly hiding and fleeing.
Sacrifices were happening all the time; many strongholds that couldn't be completely hidden were uprooted, and budding new blood was nipped in the bud.
But it was precisely in this near-desperate struggle for survival that the remaining elites of the Red Heart Society, at the cost of countless fallen comrades, gradually figured out the patterns and blind spots of the enemy's sweeps.
They discovered that although the rulers of the three realms had united, their mutual distrust and arrogance were deeply ingrained.
The sweeping spiritual force that envelops the universe and repeatedly sweeps across the void has a clearly distinct origin.
The will of the abyss only sweeps through areas covered by its influence and unclaimed lands; it will never cross the line and encroach upon the airspace claimed by the spirit realm.
The demonic thoughts of hell also firmly guard their own territory and public areas, as do the pure light of the spirit world.
There exists a subtle taboo among them, which prevents any investigative forces from other great worlds from penetrating the core of their respective territories.
That was considered the most serious provocation, enough to instantly tear apart the fragile peace treaty.
The ruler of the Three Realms seemed convinced that the core strength of the Red Heart Society could not possibly be hiding in the enemy's lair.
This fleeting glimmer of hope was keenly observed by the survivors of the Red Heart Society.
In a top-secret meeting held amidst the oppressive atmosphere of a collapsing subdimensional ruin, a strategy so audacious it bordered on madness was finalized.
[Change flags, sow discord and go into hiding, live on the brink of death.]
All members of the Red Heart Society under the true God are rigorously selected based on their potential and willingness.
Those who still have the potential for advancement, possess resilient minds, and are adept at concealment will have all overt ties severed from the Red Heart Society, washing away any karmic imprints that could be traced back against them.
[Exploiting the blind spot of the rule that the three realms do not spy on each other's inner sanctums, they secretly infiltrated the spirit realm in batches.]
[After all, the spirit world was considered relatively orderly in the past, making it easier to conceal one's identity.]
They will disguise themselves as rogue cultivators, descendants of fallen gods, or even lucky individuals who have accidentally obtained a legacy.
[Once successfully entered, one can utilize the relatively abundant resources and vast population of the spirit world to re-establish oneself in the darkest corners of the enemy's territory, quietly developing and awaiting a possible future summons.]
As for those members whose potential has been exhausted, or those who are unwilling to leave the group and are willing to advance and retreat with the core, they will follow the last remaining true gods of the rules of the Red Heart Society to undergo the ultimate concealment.
The divine realm of the True God of Rules, due to its self-contained rules and independence from the larger world system, became an excellent sanctuary.
[As long as one does not carry too many dependent beings and avoids large-scale abnormal disturbances to the trajectory of destiny, the divine kingdom of a true god of rules who is determined to hide is like a speck of dust falling into a sea of nothingness.]
Even with the combined might of the three great worlds repeatedly screening the area, pinpointing the exact location would require an astonishing cost and a tremendous amount of time. (End of Chapter)
