Chapter 738
Hit and run, so exciting!
The successful escape of the Star Demon God echoes the carefree departure of the Heart Demon God, together proclaiming to all true gods in the universe who yearn for transcendence.
The intricate web of the world is not without its flaws!
This in itself is a heavy blow to the prestige of the three great worlds.
In the future, the fundamental contradictions between the Red Heart Society's ideals and development trajectory and the three major world order will be almost irreconcilable.
The conflict between the Red Heart Society and the Great World Society will inevitably be frequent and intense.
Within this grand narrative, the Star Demon God, as a crucial ally and top-tier combatant of the Red Heart Society, will undoubtedly have numerous opportunities to recover from his injuries and even advance further by utilizing the Great World's Origin, which may be plundered or traded from the Great World in the future.
The Red Heart Society possesses the technology to efficiently utilize the essence of the Great World, and has the Heart Demon God as a successful example.
Therefore, a temporary serious injury is not a dead end, but a necessary price to pay for accumulating strength and preparing for the future.
[This seemingly brutal and costly breakout war, viewed from a long-term strategic perspective, resulted in the Red Heart Society successfully preserving a newly ascended Transcendent and thwarting the Three Realms' joint plan to suppress him.]
[The Red Heart Society has prevailed!]
This was a Pyrrhic victory, but the significance of the victory far outweighs the losses.
[And you and the Demon God are also decisive, deeply understanding the strategic essence of knowing when to stop and concealing your true intentions.]
[The instant the Star Demon God fled, successfully attracting and diverting most of the attention of the Three Realms, you immediately began to conceal all power fluctuations and traces of rules emanating from yourselves at the fastest speed.]
The omnipresent mental tentacles of the inner demon receded like the tide, vanishing without a trace.
[Your once-glimpsed, earth-shattering aura of supreme divine power instantly receded, as if it had never existed.]
In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace, leaving no trace of causality, ripples of rules, or disturbances in spacetime.
The swiftness and decisiveness of this retreat, in stark contrast to the overwhelming force of the previous intervention, demonstrates an extraordinary control over power and unfathomable methods of concealment.
The entire battlefield was suddenly plunged into a strange vacuum.
[It was as if the tremor that had just erupted at the source of the rules, the cosmic conflict involving four supreme beings and ultimate divine power, and the super shock that made countless stars tremble, all seemed like a phantom that had never existed.]
Everything seemed like a grand illusion or internal rehearsal orchestrated by the wills of the three great worlds.
Only the slowly calming turbulent currents of rules, the shattered remnants of star avatars, and the terrifying, not yet fully healed, cracks in the seal of the abyss and the spirit realm's will silently testify to the magnitude of the fierce battle that had just taken place here.
The vast will of the three great worlds—the Abyss, Hell, and the Spirit Realm—sweeped across the empty battlefield, repeatedly probing and retracing its path.
But seeing the enemy suddenly depart, and finding no trace of the source of the Heart Demon God or that ultimate divine power, a mixture of frustration, defeat, vigilance, and deep unease plunged them into silence.
The prey escaped with severe injuries, the disruptor got away unscathed, and the elaborate trap, which the disruptor had painstakingly set up, ultimately failed, also exposing some shortcomings in the methods and countermeasures.
This outcome is far from what was initially expected.
In this situation, impotent rage is pointless.
Having existed for countless ages, they quickly suppressed their emotional reactions.
They understood that when an opponent displayed this level of mobility, stealth, and precise tactical coordination, mere anger would only cloud their judgment. What they could do was to make profound strategic adjustments based on the lessons learned from this incident.
[The key is to guard against the fourth Great World, which has already revealed its tip and demonstrated its extreme power. This has become the greatest unknown threat hanging overhead.]
At the same time, we must learn from the lessons of this failed attempt to assassinate them, improve our processes, strengthen our anticipation and coordination, and in the future, devise earlier and more meticulous plans to assassinate the four top true gods who are currently attempting the method of sacrifice during their ascension.
[We must strike with absolute certainty, leaving no room for error.]
They simply didn't believe that, having learned from this experience, being more vigilant, and potentially mobilizing even more resources, they could all escape.
This is both a form of self-encouragement and a cold declaration of future actions.
This defeat may actually prompt the Three Realms to adopt more extreme and resolute preventative measures in the future.
[May of Extraordinary Calendar 1489, a century has passed since the Star Demon God's perilous escape.]
The external turmoil seems to have subsided for the time being. The three major worlds are busy with internal reorganization and investigating the fourth-party forces, while the Red Heart Society, a civilization that has always moved steadily in the shadows, continues to flourish.
With abundant resources, the Red Heart Society entered a golden age of rapid internal growth.
In a relatively stable environment, the Red Heart Society has accumulated strength and is now poised for a powerful breakthrough; the number of its internal Rule Gods has already exceeded ten.
These ten newly promoted True Gods all originated from those core members who possessed memories of the future and already had profound foundations.
After all, without the accumulation of experience over several millennia, they wouldn't have been able to ascend to godhood in such a short time.
A thousand years is but a fleeting moment to a true god.
Their advancement may not have been as earth-shattering as that of the Heart Demon God or the Star Demon God, but it is the most powerful proof of the Red Heart Society's overall level of rule research, talent cultivation system, and healthy development of its social structure.
The successive advancements of the True Gods of Rules, and the resulting resonance and qualitative changes in the rules, have left a clear mark on the level of universal rules, even if somewhat concealed.
Like pebbles continuously thrown into a calm lake, this has left all those who perceive the universe bewildered and stunned.
Is the course of the world about to change?
Is the stable order, which has been dominated by the will of a few great worlds for millions of years, about to be transformed into one dominated by a true god of rules who cultivates and pursues transcendence?
The phenomenon of the Red Heart Society rapidly producing true gods seems to provide the most direct explanation for this transformation.
Otherwise, how could so many true gods of rules have emerged in just a hundred years?
This completely contradicts the common sense that the birth of a true god requires a long period of accumulation and a tremendous opportunity.
What truly terrifies the three great worlds and the pantheon is that these true gods of rules are of unknown origin, and they don't even know where they came from.
Under these circumstances, the will of the three great worlds directly set the tone.
Since we can't find anything, let's not investigate further.
From this day forward, all newly emerging True Gods of the Rules will be calculated according to the standards for those produced in the Fourth Great World. (End of Chapter)
