Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

The meteorite fell and the building was smashed into dust again.

Only this time, Gu Nan and the others were already standing safely next to the building and watching it fall.

With his amazing physique, he jumped directly off the roof of the building, then caught his falling companions one by one.

‘The meteorite impact didn’t spread to the surroundings at all…’ Gu Nan rubbed his chin. ‘This really is in-line with players’ usual styles.’

This completely unscientific phenomenon could only appear in players’ self-made maps.

This was the map creator’s bad taste in wanting to make the starting point kill look cool without affecting subsequent progress.

"We only have three minutes." Gu Nan looked up at the sky, where the bloody countdown still existed. "The goal is the tip of the tower in the middle of the city."

With Gu Nan's words, his three teammates looked up and saw the tower in the center of the city. The top of the tower was flashing a red light.

Qiu Wenran breathed a small sigh of relief. "It's not too far away. Even if we’re only at Innate Realm, we can still make it there in time."

Most Innate Realm cultivators might not have strong bodies, but they weren’t slow. There was enough time to reach the tower if they ran at full strength.

"The hard part is climbing all the way to the tip. It’s unrealistic to go up from inside the tower." Zuo Zuo's expression, however, didn’t look so good. "Certain weapons of science and technology aren’t something that Innate Realm cultivators can fight against."

Qiu Wenran was indeed a little more inexperienced, which manifested in the fact that he didn’t seem to have experienced many planes yet. He failed to think of the unique characteristics of planes with relatively advanced science and technology.

Technology was rather unfriendly to low-level cultivators.

Any type of gun or similar weapon would stop them, or the city could seal the path to the top of the tower with a thick iron door—they would be caught unprepared against either of those things.

"Let's split up. Let's try all the methods we can think of," Gu Nan finally concluded, "to improve efficiency."

It was better to try four methods at once than to take turns.

……

Moments later, four people gathered at the top of the building again, waiting for the countdown to end.

Zuo Zuo and Zi Yi felt a little helpless. They were experienced Star Rulers who had passed through the Starry Road for many years, yet they had never seen such a strange little world before.

Killing enemies above their level, finding demons, exploring the dense forest… They had encountered all sorts of situations before, no matter how dangerous or demanding in brainpower, but there was nothing like this.

To say it’s hard, it doesn’t actually seem that hard. The goal was nothing more than to reach a destination, so it was clearly much easier than killing an enemy above their level.

But to say it’s easy, it’s actually not that easy either. They were always just one step short of the goal. Try as they might, they just couldn’t seem to reach the tip of that tower.

Qiu Wenran, the most inexperienced person in the party, was almost driven crazy by this map.

If he ran all the way there, he only had enough time to reach the bottom of the tower, but time ran out before he could go up. Robbery of vehicles would lead to police pursuit, and it would be impossible to enter the tower. If he killed the police, he would attract the attack of the modern army; tanks and helicopters would come out together.

"Why don't we try jumping over from the roof next to the tower?" Qiu Wenran, the old man, had begun to make blind suggestions.

Gu Nan rolled his eyes. "The top of the tower is over three hundred meters high. Are you planning to climb it from the outside?"

Qiu Wenran had nothing to say, so the four fell silent again. The countdown ended again, and the curtain of blood fell.

There was no need for anyone to speak—the four had already become familiar with this routine, and all of them ran in the same direction. Gu Nan took the lead in jumping off, followed by the other three.

But when Gu Nan landed this time, he suddenly had a flash of insight in his mind and blurted out, "I’ve got it!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Gu Nan was just a second too slow in catching his teammates, and three piles of flattened humans immediately appeared beside him.

……

"Lord Gu Nan…" Qiu Wenran's slightly resentful voice sounded beside him.

"Ahem, to risk your life for the sake of revolution is a good comrade," Gu Nan coughed awkwardly while standing in front of a white car, smashing through the window with one punch.

This was already a new round where the timer had reset. After Gu Nan’s monetary distraction caused his three teammates to fall to their deaths, they could only start all over again.

The four of them were acting together this time, because Gu Nan claimed that he’d already found a way.

The owner of the white car was startled. He was sitting in the driver's seat waiting for the red light to disappear, but he didn't expect the window to shatter.

"W-Who are you guys?!” He screamed panickedly. "Don't come here, I'm going to call the police!"

In response, Gu Nan grabbed him without hesitation, pulled him out of the car, and casually tossed him aside.

The four of them entered the car as fast as they could, but Qiu Wenran was still somewhat stunned. "Lord, aren’t we going in the wrong direction?"

"Of course… not." Gu Nan laughed lightly.

"Stealing citizens' vehicles will trigger police pursuit. Did you notice which direction the police came from?"

Qiu Wenran froze upon hearing that. He had always been taking the most intuitive method by rushing straight at the tower, but he didn’t pay attention to these details.

Zi Yi in the back seat asked, "Are we going to the police station?"

"Yes," Gu Nan replied absentmindedly while accelerating more and more, completely ignoring any pedestrians on the road. He rampaged all the way, hitting a passerby on the spot and sending him flying.

Qiu Wenran wanted to ask why they were going to the police station, but when he saw Gu Nan driving like this, his words became, "Your Excellency, although we are in a hurry, it’s not to the point where we…"

Bang!

A loud noise interrupted him. A woman had crashed straight into the windshield, and large cracks appeared on the glass. The blood on the woman's head dyed Qiu Wenran's sight red.

Gu Nan’s expression didn't even change. He suddenly braked hard, making the woman’s body tumble forward.

Then he changed gears beautifully, speeding up again and running over her body.

This set of actions was so practiced that everyone could tell he was an old hand at this and did such things often.

When Qiu Wenran looked back, he couldn't even see a trace of the woman anymore.

"Your Excellency, this…"

"To improve efficiency." Gu Nan was still looking ahead intently, doing everything possible to pick up speed.

"Mortals are mere ants. Why care?" Zuo Zuo smiled and spoke from the back seat. He seemed to admire Gu Nan's act just now.

Zi Yi also said, "These mortals will be trapped in this plane’s loop all their lives. It’s their honor to help us obtain this world’s origin."

Qiu Wenran listened to the words of the two people, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and sighed, "This humble one’s Dao heart was lacking."

He’d always revered his senior Star Rulers, so naturally he never doubted Zuo Zuo and Zi Yi’s words. Incidentally, he also began to regard Gu Nan with a kind of awe.

‘This one is also someone who treats human life like weeds. Perhaps he’s also an experienced Star Ruler who’s been around for many years. I wonder what his real identity is…’

"Here we are." Gu Nan slammed on the brakes, almost throwing the deep-in-thought Qiu Wenran out of the car.

But he didn't glance at his passengers, instead jumping out of the car’s front window directly and rushing to the police station.

A police officer tried to stop him with questions, but before he even said the first sentence, Gu Nan blew his head off with a punch.

But Gu Nan didn’t even use the front door. When he reached the front of the police station, he jumped to the roof, then ran forward along the roof.

Inside the car, Qiu Wenran and the other two also dared not delay upon seeing this scene. They hurriedly ran out and followed Gu Nan.

Since when had the police station ever encountered a situation like this before? It immediately fell into disarray, but Gu Nan ignored all the chaos and just kept jumping between roofs.

After a moment, they heard Gu Nan exclaim, "Found it!"

His three teammates turned to look and finally understood what Gu Nan was looking for.

It was the weapon that once participated in the encirclement of Qiu Wenran—a helicopter!
