Chapter 740
The loyalty of the true god is just toilet paper.
They hoped to receive the same powerful support that the Star Demon God had once received.
Driven by fear, they offered what they considered extremely tempting conditions, all for the sake of protection.
I'd give anything for that!
[This even includes, for example, loyalty!]
[To submit one's future power and authority to the protector.]
But to you, the promises and allegiance of the true God are no different from the toilet paper you use.
Today they may be loyal to you to save their own lives, but tomorrow they may betray you for greater gains or deeper fears.
The core of the mindset of true gods, especially these ancient ones, is their own survival and evolution. So-called loyalty is utterly fragile in the face of supreme interests and absolute power.
The Star Demon God and the Heart Demon God have undergone countless trials; they have long since bound their future to the Red Heart Society.
However, examining other top-tier true gods would be a waste of time and energy.
Instead of wasting this time, it would be better to cultivate a few top-tier True Gods within the Red Heart Society.
Therefore, you rejected both the Lord of Death and the Lord of Hope.
If their loyalty to the original world could be shattered by the method of sacrifice, how much more so their loyalty to external forces?
If even the true God is like this, how much more so those who pursue individual transcendence and possess an even more resolute mindset?
Such a promise has no binding force or credibility whatsoever.
[Unless the other party can offer a tangible, compelling, and irrevocable reward.]
[For example, an unalterable rule or contract, or a supreme artifact capable of altering the strategic balance.]
Otherwise, at this stage, why would you risk a direct confrontation with the highly vigilant wills of the three great worlds for the sake of two spirit gods of unknown origin and impure motives, or even for enemies who clashed with the Red Heart Society in the previous timeline?
[What if we reveal more of our strength, thereby disrupting our development rhythm? Wouldn't that be a case of losing more than we gain?]
The Red Heart Society is still in a crucial developmental stage. It needs to digest existing technologies, accumulate more true gods, and improve its social structure. It will take a lot of time before it can truly surpass the peak of the previous era in terms of overall strength.
Most importantly, the number of true gods cultivated and nurtured within the Red Heart Society itself is still too small. This healthy and sustainable channel for producing gods needs patient nurturing and the passage of time.
Therefore, it will take a long time before these achievements, representing the future of the Red Heart Society, appear in large quantities.
At this critical juncture, it would be extremely unwise to risk one's life for outsiders.
[In that case, let the wills of these three great worlds begin to doubt themselves.]
[Let them constantly guess your intentions, distracting them with doubt.]
[Let's just drag it out!]
The best approach is to muddy the waters without over-intervening.
The longer it drags on, the better the situation will be for the Chixin Society, which is quietly accumulating strength and developing rapidly.
Time is the Red Heart Society's most powerful ally.
Therefore, after rejecting the pleas for help from the true gods of the spirit world, Chi Xin will continue to focus on his own development.
In June of the Extraordinary Calendar 1722, after continuous research and development, the Crimson Heart Research Institute made another milestone innovation in the divine rune system, which is crucial for the safe use of the power of faith.
The new generation of divine runes has increased the efficiency of protecting and amplifying willpower by several percentage points, and its structure is also more stable.
[In December 1887 of the Extraordinary Calendar, the research institute achieved a groundbreaking theoretical breakthrough in addressing the ultimate challenge of miniaturizing divine military weapons.] [A new concept based on rule folding and energy resonance fields was proposed, providing a completely new theoretical possibility for creating individual-level god-slaying weapons.]
[The dream of a demigod wielding armor and unleashing the power of a true god, once an unattainable ideal, is no longer a mere illusion but a theoretical possibility.]
In July of 1963, during the Extraordinary Era, Ye Lingtian restored his power to the level of a first-tier True God within the Star Abyss.
Based on this, he sensed the solidity of the bottleneck in the rules of killing.
In order to break through that barrier in the shortest possible time, advance to the level of a transcendent being, and become a true master of slaughter, he chose to bid you farewell.
He was preparing for a more extreme, and also more dangerous, form of spiritual practice.
His path is only slaughter!
He clearly realized that bloodless training lacked the extreme pressure and destructive catharsis of being on the brink of life and death.
Even with the abundant resources provided by the Red Heart Society, and even with the combined knowledge from two different timelines, accumulating countless experiences and insights, he was still not entirely perfect on the path of the rules of killing.
A true killing machine cannot be cultivated in a greenhouse, nor can the purest form of destruction be comprehended in a study.
He needs to return to the most primal, bloodiest battlefield, to temper his divine nature amidst endless death, and to glimpse the true meaning of slaughter in the ultimate destruction.
He strives for perfection!
He wants to combine the advantages of this timeline with the regrets of the previous one to forge an even stronger path.
He wants to once again stand at the level of the Transcendent in this time and space.
But this time, he wanted more.
This time, he set a goal for himself.
[His goal was even higher than the previous timeline; he wanted to become the master of slaughter in a relatively normal way, solely through his understanding and accumulation of the rules of killing, without sacrificing himself at the extreme cost.]
[After all, the Red Heart Society in this timeline is so strong, with you and the Heart Demon God in charge, and cutting-edge technology constantly emerging, there's no need for me to be constantly fighting on the outside to support the overall situation like in the previous timeline.]
This strength gave him the confidence and space to calmly pursue a perfect promotion.
Even if he encounters a force he cannot resist, such as being targeted and attacked by the three great worlds, he still has a way out.
[Simply activate the mark left by the Star Demon God before his departure, which contains the rules of star teleportation, and you can be teleported back directly.]
With basic safety guaranteed, he can be more daring in pursuing danger and opportunity.
He's already figured out his own path!
He will embark on this path to perfection alone, a path that requires him to kill to attain enlightenment, yet strives to avoid harming himself.
You looked at this old comrade-in-arms with an unyielding will, and instead of stopping him, you offered your deepest blessings and necessary support.
You know, the true master of slaughter is destined to be crowned himself in a battlefield of blood and fire.
In August of the year 2000 of the Extraordinary Era, the Will of the Abyss felt that the appearance of the fourth Great World couldn't be entirely unexpected.
There must be traces to be found in this.
[Especially the Heart Demon God and the Star Demon God, both are related to this fourth great world.]
[Then let's use the traces of these two demon gods' existence to deduce the truth backwards!]
[Surely, we can definitely deduce it!] (End of Chapter)
