Chapter 764
Anti-Invasion of the Great World
The researchers at the Red Heart Society systematically analyzed the advantages of almost all paths to godhood through faith in the myriad realms, fusing those methods for efficiently gathering faith, purifying willpower, and building a stable divine kingdom into a unified whole.
At the same time, it uses almost harsh standards to target the deep-seated flaws in the path of faith, aiming to fundamentally reject it.
[Especially the most terrifying aspect, the slow erosion and assimilation of the id by the divine will, which can ultimately cause any true god to lose themselves.]
However, the gap between theoretical rejection and practical application is enormous. The interference of divine will is like a whisper from a higher dimension, invisible and intangible yet all-pervasive.
Just when the research had reached a stalemate, with numerous proposals failing to find a perfect balance between gaining divine power and maintaining one's true self, a researcher who had long been immersed in interdisciplinary morphology came up with a brilliant idea.
[During a routine brainstorming session, this brilliant researcher came up with a seemingly unconventional yet enlightening idea.]
Why not use a strategy of feigning weakness and escaping unscathed?
Since the power of faith and the divine will that accompanies it almost inevitably pose a risk of contaminating and transforming the physical body and soul, then the physical body should not be allowed to directly bear all of this.
Specifically, each member of the Red Heart Society who is determined to simultaneously pursue both the path of faith and the path of rules can utilize precious cosmic resources to meticulously cultivate and create one or more highly compatible blank avatars.
This clone is like a specially prepared sacred vessel. From now on, all the power of faith gathered by the main body, and all the wishes of sentient beings it bears, will be poured into this specially made clone.
[The clone will be loaded with the highest-specification, most complex, and most powerful array of faith runes that the Red Heart Research Institute could create, serving as the dedicated foundation for achieving godhood through faith.]
Because it is not the original entity, many forbidden techniques and application modes of belief that remain in the stage of crazy ideas, possessing enormous power but causing irreversible law-based damage or even conceptual pollution to the carrier, have found a testing ground to be put into practice.
This avatar will ascend along the path of pure faith until it ignites the divine fire, forges its divine nature, establishes its divine kingdom, and attains the position of a complete, true god of faith.
In this way, from the perspective of power acquisition, although the main body does not directly bear the divine title, it can seamlessly draw upon the vast divine power possessed by the faith clone through the mysterious primal link between the clone and the main body.
[Even the power of faith wielded through an avatar is almost indistinguishable from becoming a god oneself, while avoiding any potential interference from the path of faith on one's understanding of the rules.]
However, the true brilliance of this design lies in its safety aspects.
The Faith Rune system not only serves to transmit and amplify power, but is also endowed with the highest-level responsibility of monitoring and sentinels of will.
[The divine will within the clone, growing ever stronger with the convergence of faith, attempting to transcend its instrumental identity, will be detected instantly by the highly sensitive array of faith runes if it exhibits any abnormal fluctuations or awakening tendencies that exceed safety thresholds.]
[At the same time, it issues warnings of varying intensity to the main body.]
Once the monitoring system determines that the divine will within the clone is about to spiral out of control and potentially erode the main body through the link, the main body will have two ruthless but effective options.
[Firstly, the pre-set primordial severance mechanism is activated, instantly cutting off all connections between the main body and the faith avatar, banishing the avatar, now a corrupted divine body, to a distant, unknown dimension or a pre-set trap of destruction.]
[Like a gecko shedding its tail, preserving itself.] [Secondly, and more decisively, directly detonating the purification device buried within the clone, obliterating everything—including the out-of-control divinity, the divine essence, and even the entire clone—in a chain of law-annihilating explosions, completely eradicating any future troubles.]
Regardless of the method, the main body will at most suffer the loss of a precious avatar and long-accumulated faith resources, while its core self-will and cultivation of the Way of Rules will remain intact.
This complete strategic plan, encompassing everything from clone implementation to real-time monitoring and emergency execution, has been proudly named the Faith Clones Strategy by the creators of the Red Heart Research Institute.
Its creation is not merely a technological breakthrough, but also an elevation of strategic thinking.
This means that the core members of the Red Heart Society, in their pursuit of power diversification and the pinnacle, have gained a sturdy shield and a sharper spear, possessing a lifeboat that can be isolated or even discarded at any time.
The news spread, and the research institute was filled with jubilation.
All those at the higher levels who understood its significance knew that this was more than just the success of a research project.
[It will influence the balance of power between the Red Heart Society and various other forces, including the Hellish Will that is currently staging a show in the distance, in the far future.]
[July of the year 10000 of the Extraordinary Calendar, a milestone etched with extraordinary significance in the long river of time, marks the full launch of a grand strategy by the Red Heart Society.]
At that time, the collective will of the three majestic worlds was being dragged away from the main battlefield by the Red Heart Society through unpredictable means, and the strings of the universe's laws trembled under the struggle of the supreme beings.
Within the Red Heart Society, those true gods of the rules, who had long since shed the dust of faith and embarked on the path of imprinting their own hearts with the will of Heaven, cast their gazes, like burning stars, piercing through the void and landing on the three temporarily unclaimed, bountiful lands.
The essence of this vast world is the ultimate resource for building immortality.
Even though its core is difficult to shake at the moment, plundering the vast resources flowing through the world's veins to nourish the Red Heart Society, which is rapidly depleting its resources in the fierce battle, already constitutes a feast not to be missed.
The deeper driving force stems from the very nature of the path of rules.
This path cannot be achieved through secluded meditation; the tempering of one's true self and the thorough understanding of its rules can only be achieved in the most intense battles and in clashes on the edge of life and death.
Thus, a long-planned and devastating war of plunder erupted.
The True Gods of the Red Heart Society, operating in elite teams, are clad in True God armor forged by the most skilled artillery masters within the society. The armor gleams with a cold, hard sheen that seems to devour light.
Within the vast divine kingdom of each true god, there are not empty temples and worshippers, but rather solemn, silent, arrayed arrays of war machines driven by immense divine power.
They are like lurking beasts, waiting only for the gates of the divine kingdom to open before unleashing a torrent of destruction.
Taking advantage of that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, streaks of light, concealed within the armor of true gods, trailing streaks of light that tore through the void, crashed relentlessly into the seemingly impregnable barriers of the three great worlds. (End of Chapter)
