Chapter 739
Not Saving the Master of Power
[However, ten True Gods of Rules are not many in the vast universe, especially compared to the True Gods of Authority mass-produced by the Authority System in the three Great Worlds. They seem to be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and most of these newcomers are still in the third echelon of exploration.]
Any large world, given its size and resources, could easily produce dozens of powerful true gods.
However, the key issue is not the quantity or the current rank.
[The emergence of so many rule-based true gods in such a short period of time, concentrated in the same force and following the same path, is unprecedented in the history of the universe.]
This represents a completely new, replicable system for the growth of individual power, independent of the authority of a larger world, which is being successfully implemented and rapidly disseminated!
Its symbolic significance and potential threat far outweigh the impact of having ten more third-tier true gods.
This stark contrast has made the connection between the three great worlds even closer.
Even with cunning as hellish and chaos as abyss, under the pressure of life and death, they began to connect with the spirit world.
In April of the Extraordinary Calendar 1523, in a deliberately cleared void on the edge of the Spirit Realm, the ascension ceremony of the Lord of Power who had once caused such a great uproar finally came to an end.
When the last vestige of connection to the power and authority of the spirit realm was completely severed, a pure and violent concept representing the most primal power of the universe erupted from its core of divinity, transforming into a golden pillar of light piercing through the void.
However, this moment of completion also marks the beginning of the countdown to destruction.
The will of the Spirit Realm, already angered and having learned from the previous two lessons, along with the invited wills of the Abyss and Hell, these three great world wills were already extremely prepared.
They not only mobilized far more primal power than when they besieged the Star Demon God, but also constructed a more complex composite sealing array with multiple contingency plans.
Furthermore, on a spiritual and rule-based level, preparations are being made to counter the renewed attack of the ultimate power that once shattered the spirit realm's seal, as well as to deal with the unpredictable mental attacks of the Heart Demon God and the stellar power that the Star Demon God might unleash upon his recovery.
Within the void, an invisible pressure solidified like iron. The killing intent of the three supreme beings intertwined into a net, awaiting only the appearance of the rescuers before launching a thunderous joint attack to finish them off in one fell swoop.
But to be honest, the wills of the three great worlds still felt uneasy.
After all, they had already failed twice, so they always felt a little uneasy.
But this time, all the painstaking and meticulous preparations were in vain.
Time ticked by, and the Lord of Power struggled in the brief weakness and confusion of his initial breakthrough, attempting to stabilize his realm and find a way to survive.
However, the anticipated mental portal failed to pierce the void, the domineering ultimate divine power did not surge from the depths of the Star Abyss, and not even a wisp of starlight was disturbed.
Outside the encirclement, there is only eternal coldness and silence.
[Because of your will, based on deeper considerations and a strategic judgment bordering on cold-blooded, the Red Heart Society has no intention of rescuing this Lord of Power.]
Since the power master of the previous timeline made his choice, and his actions led to adverse consequences, the power master of this timeline should also pay the price for his choice in the previous timeline.
This is not a simple act of revenge, but a reckoning based on the cause and effect of time and space, and also an adherence to the principle that the resources of the Red Heart Society must be used wisely.
The risks and costs of rescuing a transcendent individual whose ideals may not fully align with one's own and who has a criminal record may far outweigh their potential value.
[Thus, unsurprisingly, in a desperate situation, isolated and surrounded by powerful enemies, the Lord of Power died.]
The process itself was remarkably smooth, without many twists and turns.
[Even the fall of the Lord of Power didn't require the Abyss Will and Hell Will to intervene unexpectedly.] [The enraged and well-prepared Spirit Realm Will, with its home-field advantage and overwhelming power, crushed and annihilated him along with that void.]
The newly formed divine essence, representing pure power, shattered with a resentful cracking sound under the torrent of spiritual energy representing absolute order and cruel punishment in the spirit world, ultimately dissipating into countless specks of light.
A rising star who could have shone brightly across the world has fallen before he could truly show his brilliance.
Its existence has been completely erased, serving as a cruel warning to those who come after.
[But this time, the outcome was completely different from the previous incidents involving the Heart Demon God and the Star Demon God: no one came to the rescue.]
This plunged the three great world wills, who had been poised to unleash their power but ultimately failed, into deep contemplation after their brief victory.
Doubt, like vines, entwined the core of their minds.
Both were transcendent beings, both walked the path of sacrifice, so why such drastically different treatment?
[The Heart Demon God successfully escaped, and the Star Demon God achieved a pyrrhic victory in his breakout. Why then did the mysterious force stand idly by when it came to the Lord of Power?]
Why aren't the Heart Demon God and the Star Demon God coming to the rescue?
Is it too late?
Is it beyond saving?
[Or...do you not want to save them?]
[But if the transcendent beings created through painstaking efforts to spread the sacrificial method easily die in the encirclement and suppression of the Great World's will, then what was the point of the Heart Demon God risking so much to spread the sacrificial method within the three great worlds?]
Is the only purpose to create a few problems for the wider world, and then sit idly by and watch those problems be eliminated?
[This return on investment is far too low, and it doesn't align with the wisdom and strategic planning abilities displayed by the Heart Demon God.]
[Could it be that this is simply to disgust the will of the Great World?]
This idea was too frivolous and was quickly rejected.
Therefore, the only explanation is that the target of the Inner Demon God and the forces behind it is not all transcendent beings who walk the path of sacrifice, but rather a specific group.
What are the selection criteria?
[Is it a faction?]
Is it potential?
This conjecture further unsettled the wills of the three great worlds, for it meant that an unknown force with clear selection criteria and strategic intentions was subtly influencing the balance of power among the world's top powers.
[In February of the year 1568 of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Inner Demon God informed you that he had received a secret communication from the Lord of Death and the Lord of Hope in the Spirit Realm through a hidden mental link.]
These two top-tier true gods, holding exalted positions and possessing formidable power within the spirit realm, were clearly terrified by the instantaneous annihilation of the Lord of Power and the escalating internal purge by the spirit realm's will.
They hoped that the power standing behind the Demon God would protect them when they attempted to sacrifice themselves for advancement in the future. (End of Chapter)
