Chapter 744
No Reason to Intervene
In August of the Extraordinary Calendar 2462, a terrifying fluctuation, powerful enough to disrupt the underlying rules of countless worlds, erupted from a hidden dimension of the endless abyss, heralding the ultimate transformation of yet another ancient being.
The Source Demon God has finally completed His long and perilous ascension ceremony and entered the Hall of Transcendent Beings.
Unlike any previous instance, this time, the will of the three great worlds, high above all realms, reacted with indifference, even perfunctoriness.
The will of the abyss merely went through the motions, casually sketching a few chains of decaying and decadent laws around the perimeter of the Source Demon God's ascension site, constructing a barrier that could barely be called a prison.
[The goal is simply to temporarily trap the newly emerged transcendent beings, and then slowly mold them.]
As for the will of the spirit realm and the will of hell, they didn't even bother to show themselves, seemingly indifferent to this advancement taking place on the territory of their mortal enemies, or perhaps resigned to the tedious outcome.
After all, based on past bloody lessons and pieced-together intelligence, the disruptor known as the Red Heart Society seems to have extremely clear preferences in its actions.
They only save the inner demons and star demons with whom they have a deep connection; they ignore the other true gods.
The fall of the Lord of Power silently foreshadowed the fate of those unrelated to the Red Heart Society. Therefore, this newly ascended Source Demon God clearly has no connection whatsoever with the Red Heart Society.
Since the Red Heart Society has no reason to interfere, why should the Three Wills treat it as a formidable enemy, expending their vital energy in a high-stakes battle?
This utilitarian complacency, like a cold spiderweb, hangs over the area surrounding the Land of Ascension.
However, just as the Source Demon God completed its ascension, and the brief but absolute protective light of the Supreme Rule receded like a tide, a sudden change occurred.
[That was not an attack from a single dimension, but rather three distinct yet equally extreme forces, arriving simultaneously from the impossible in perfect harmony.]
The unpredictable, formless, and intangible rules of the mind, capable of eroding the very foundation of all existence, were the first to tear open the veil of the abyss.
[Following closely behind is a vast and boundless torrent of stars, weaving together destiny and trajectory; they do not blindly sweep across, but rather precisely entwine and dissolve the structural nodes of the abyss's chains.]
Finally, an ultimate divine power, capable of encompassing and propelling all things, crashed down in its purest and most ruthless form!
These three forces, any one of which, taken individually, would be enough to make an ordinary ruler tremble, have now converged at one point, not to confront, but to guide.
The already flimsy cage of the Abyss's will proved as fragile as glass struck by a heavy hammer before the dazzling explosion of combined power from these transcendent beings.
[It couldn't even utter a decent cry before shattering into fragments of the most basic rules, vanishing without a trace.]
The entire process was faster than a flash of thought could register.
[The cage was still there a moment ago, but the Source Demon God, who had just advanced and whose power was not yet fully stable, had vanished without a trace.]
When the Source Demon God regained his senses from the dizzying teleportation that traversed endless dimensions, what entered his perception were two faces familiar to the very depths of his soul: the Heart Demon God and the Star Demon God.
The extreme caution and lingering bewilderment that had been on the Source Demon God's face melted away the moment he confirmed his friend's presence, replaced by an unbelievable relaxation. But a deeper sense of unease welled up within him.
[Following this, with complex emotions from his two old friends who were already at the Transcendent level, a truth that transcended the river of time and overturned the logic of cause and effect slowly unfolded in the mind of the Source Demon God, who had just undergone the baptism of advancement.]
The fall of the Lord of Power, and my own miraculous rescue, are rooted in a previous, overwritten, and reset timeline, stemming from a crucial choice made by my past self in that timeline. [Time reversal?]
Interfering with established cause and effect?
Can investments made in the past yield returns in the present?
[A power that exists only in the most absurd fantasies has actually acted upon me in such a real and undeniable way.]
The core of the Source Demon God's will trembled violently, and even the rules upon which its existence was based trembled slightly. This was not fear, but the inevitable roar when cognition is completely reshaped.
[Just how incredible was the founder of the Red Heart Society, that being hidden behind all the fog of mystery?]
What immeasurable greatness!
[But another, more immediate question arises: why would such a transcendent being, capable of manipulating time and space at will, devote its efforts to protecting the Red Heart Society, which is still weak in the eyes of the true will of the world?]
The contradictions and profound implications of this situation are beyond the comprehension of the Source Demon God.
But soon, the decisiveness stemming from the demonic nature of the god overwhelmed the endless contemplation.
Since we can't figure it out using our own wisdom, let's put it aside for now!
His gaze swept over his two close friends beside him, who were clearly committed to this path, and he swiftly made a decision that best suited his own interests and emotional inclinations.
[No need to hesitate, no need to waver, just follow in the footsteps of the Heart Demon God and the Star Demon God, firmly bind yourself to this mysterious Crimson Heart Society, and wholeheartedly cooperate with them.]
This is not blind obedience, but a sober calculation based on harsh reality and alluring prospects.
Following the Red Heart Society not only means that my current self will break through all past constraints and reach an unprecedented peak of power.
This also means that my choices and struggles at this moment will become the foundation stone, paving a smoother, higher-starting path to the future me!
The closed loop of time and space here creates a cold yet alluring incentive: the harder you work in the present, the stronger your future self will be.
This grand narrative, transcending the individual lifespan, instantly ignited all the fighting spirit and sense of belonging within the Source Demon God.
[In September of the Extraordinary Calendar 2533, in another corner of the endless void, the laws symbolizing slaughter, end, and pure destruction were violently boiling.]
[The Demon God, this ancient being renowned for conquest and destruction, has finally ascended to the ultimate level, ushering in his moment of advancement.]
This time, the atmosphere was completely different.
Perhaps they were made suspicious by the repeated and unpredictable interference from the Red Heart Society, or perhaps they simply didn't want to fall into the same trap a third time, so the wills of the three great worlds put away all their contempt.
This time, they will absolutely not allow the situation to repeat itself. (End of Chapter)
