Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Moon thralls were raging and blood was flowing.

The Star & Moon Camp, the last piece of Pure Land in the capital, ultimately failed to escape the calamity. Gu Zhaoyue's painstaking home was easily destroyed by Gu Nan.

Moon thralls had already rushed up to the moon fruit’s vicinity and could see this fruit, so they lunged forward crazily.

As usual, they tried to tear apart everything in front of them, but it was a little different this time.

A scarlet tree slowly spread its branches behind Ghost Tree. Any moon thrall who dared to approach him was easily torn into pieces.

Although the apocalypse was terrible, for someone as powerful as Ghost Tree, it was impossible for the moon thralls to kill him—not unless he wanted to die.

On the other side, moon thrall kings were a natural deterrent to ordinary moon thralls, so no moon thralls dare to approach them.

From Big Brother to Sixth Brother, the six moon thrall kings were all present. Some stood stupidly, some had their eyeballs rolling around. They all had different expressions, but all of them were staring at that moon fruit.

Even Big Brother, the one with the lowest intelligence, knew that the power of that fruit originated from the same source as his own power, and that fruit would be the root of his evolution.

But besides Ghost Tree and the moon thrall kings, the others weren’t so lucky. Moon thralls surged forth crazily from all sides. Even if they weren’t the targets, the moon thralls were still a fatal threat to those people.

Beholder wasn’t too strong to begin with. He began to feel overwhelmed as soon as he was surrounded by moon thralls.

"My Lord, save me! My Lord…" He could only ask Ghost Tree for help, but the latter didn't even spare him a glance, let alone place him inside the protective domain.

Beholder’s heart turned cold, but he lacked the power to resist in such a situation.

When his mind was distracted, his hand movements also started to deform. In the blink of an eye, he was torn apart by the moon thralls.

On another side, Lin Duo and the others were also flustered.

Lin Ke wasn’t that much stronger than Beholder, and she was also a possession-type Heroic Spirit summoner. She didn’t dare to rush forth in this situation at all, or else she’d be courting death.

In this critical juncture, the twin sun and moon spirits saved their lives.

The two children stood on either end of the team, and a pattern of the sun and moon could be faintly seen on the ground, keeping the moon thralls outside.

The thing that kept the moon thralls outside resembled a protective barrier. From the outside, it was just a thin film, which seemed like it could be easily broken.

Fortunately, the moon thralls’ target wasn’t them. After hitting the barrier, the vast majority of moon thralls chose to go around them or climb over the wall.

The number of moon thralls was so dense to the point where they were indistinguishable from each other, almost covering the entire protective barrier.

The Lin sisters and Tian Tian stayed inside the protective barrier just like that, not daring to move, because even the last bit of moonlight was covered by the bodies of moon thralls.

In the darkness, it seemed that even the passage of time had slowed down.

Lin Duo felt some sweat on her forehead and wanted to raise her hand to wipe it, but she couldn't lift her hand.

The pressure seemed as heavy as Mt. Tai, pressing down on her until she was out of breath. The completely dark environment also seemed to isolate her.

"We have to think of another way," the sun spirit’s weak voice made Lin Duo come back to her senses. "We can't maintain it for much longer, and…"

"And once the true king of the moon thralls descends, everything will be too late," the moon spirit finished for him.

She seemed to be in slightly better condition than the sun spirit, and her voice didn’t have that deep-rooted weakness, but she also sounded quite helpless. "The last time we saw the moon fruit, it was clear that it would take at least half a month to mature, but who could imagine…"

"That person took it down,” the sun spirit was gnashing his teeth as he responded.

They didn’t know that Gu Nan directly flew past all those moon thralls. They simply felt incredulous that he could snatch away those fruits while surrounded by that many moon thralls.

Lin Duo became more and more silent. In her heart, Gu Nan was the Heroic Spirit she summoned, so no matter what Gu Nan did, she shared some responsibility in that—even though she couldn’t control him at all.

On the other hand, Lin Ke was more concerned about their current predicament. She asked in the dark, "Is there any way to lure the moon thralls away, or should we try to move outward?"

"We can't move… Huh?"

The moon spirit stopped talking when she felt some light suddenly fall on her head.

Right now, even the dim moonlight felt like a lighthouse, illuminating the road ahead for them—the moon thralls scattered! They survived!

But soon, a big face appeared above them, revealing a simple and honest smile.

Only then did they discover that although the surging tide of moon thralls had slowed down, it was far from over. What really saved them was Big Brother.

While scratching the back of his head, Big Brother pointed a finger at Tian Tian with his other hand, then pointed to his shoulder.

"Are you asking me to sit on your shoulder?" Tian Tian stared blankly and asked in slight confusion.

Big Brother nodded repeatedly, although nobody knew if he understood Tian Tian’s words.

Tian Tian exchanged odd glances with her companions and hesitated a little—according to the two little Heroic Spirits, this was the king of the moon thralls!

"You might as well agree since it invited you," the moon spirit spoke like a small adult. "To think that the king of moon thralls will show affection towards a human… Why didn't our ancestor predict this in advance?"

Of course, no one could answer her doubts. Moments later, Big Brother contentedly carried Tian Tian and began to slowly walk forward.

Wherever Big Brother passed, no moon thrall dared to approach them. Lin Duo and the others could only follow them in order to not be besieged again.

As time went by, the creation of the seven brothers had come to an end. Although there were still moon thralls coming over, the power of the moon fruit had been spread thinly among hundreds of moon thralls.

And after this period of fighting, the strength of the surviving moon thralls in the central area had grown far beyond that of ordinary moon thralls.

Not even a trace of Beholder’s corpse remained, while Ghost Tree still stood by, coldly watching all this.

He was waiting. He concluded that Gu Nan wouldn’t create such a big battle merely to watch a play. ‘As long as Gu Nan comes back, there’s still a chance to take revenge!’

But Ghost Tree’s situation wasn’t very ideal either.

There were too many moon thralls. Even though he was strong, the large number of moon thralls still put great pressure on him. Heroic Spirits didn’t have any life force that he could extract, so they were one of the most annoying enemies for him.

The battering over a long period of time consumed most of his strength, and he even suffered some injuries.

At this moment, the last moon thrall victor was finally born!

With a shocking roar, the moon thrall king, who should be called "Seventh Brother" by convention, finally stabilized his own strength, then coldly studied his surroundings.

Including Big Brother, the other six moon thrall kings approached slowly, as if some kind of power was pulling them in.

Big Brother was the first to reach out and put his hand in the middle, then stared proudly at the rest of his companions. Moonlight scattered on his hand, which seemed to glow a faint white.
