Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Gu Nan's entire person stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal, but a shadow clone had already quietly drifted out far away, ready to switch with him at any time.

"Looks like you really don't want to see me." Zuo Zuo's smile was the same as before, half normal and half distorted. "Your true body is Tier 3? Truly surprising."

"Tier 3? You also surprised me." Gu Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at this fellow in front of him. From his appearance to his aura, one could tell from a glance that he was unusual.

He looked slightly different from his appearance in the dungeon. The description “little boy” was no longer accurate for the real Zuo Zuo.

Because his left and right sides were completely equal, but they looked entirely different.

His left body was a blonde girl. Not only did she wear half a sun hat on her head, but she also had a white dress.

On the other hand, his right body was still a little boy with a peaceful expression. His entire person looked like two people were spliced together.

"There's nothing surprising about it." Zuo Zuo chuckled. "Everyone who has traveled beyond the Myriad Heavens Universe knows about the various Tiers."

‘Beyond the Myriad Heavens Universe…’

Gu Nan was silent for a moment, then yawned and sat down in his chair again.

"If you have something to say, just say it," Gu Nan said casually. He wasn’t stupid enough to ask pointless questions like "How did you get here?"

It was obvious that the other party would never tell the truth.

"I want to occupy a spot in all the smaller worlds you take control of in the future," Zuo Zuo said in a deep voice as his two faces showed different smiles at the same time.

"That's it?" Gu Nan's expression didn’t even change. In his view, this condition wasn’t even a condition at all.

After all, the other party was an existence at Tier 5 or perhaps even higher. Even if the Zuo Zuo that appeared in front of him wasn’t the true body, it was still enough to completely suppress Gu Nan.

Under such circumstances, Gu Nan didn't want to bet on whether he could escape successfully.

Zuo Zuo was noncommittal. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and his figure instantly disappeared, leaving behind one last echoing sentence:

“Come to the Central Region after you step into Tier 4. Someone will meet you there."

This Star Ruler Realm powerhouse disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he’d never appeared.

A strange smile appeared on Gu Nan’s face.

……

Three days later, Gu Nan was sitting quietly in the courtyard, boredly leafing through the intelligence reports in his hands. This was information White Mist sent over.

Regarding the three Star Rulers in the dungeon, only the name Qiu Wenran returned some results, but they still weren’t able to discover much.

They only knew that he was a powerful figure who became famous thousands of years ago and was active outside of Star Realm, so they could only find some fragmented records. They knew that there was such a person but couldn’t find any of his achievements.

As for Zi Yi, from her name to her identity, there was no trace of information anywhere.

On the other hand, although they also couldn’t find any information related to the name Zuo Zuo, his physical appearance was strange enough that the White Mist members actually did manage to find some clues about him.

It was a legend passed down from ancient times. It was a story that took place when the Central Region had just started to rise in power and influence and was gradually expanding outward.

At that time, the Central Region was undergoing rapid scientific and technological development, which continuously challenged the old system. Genius scientists emerged in an endless stream.

And there was a certain mad doctor who was obsessed with human body fusion experiments. The Federation ordered his arrest, and after finally being cornered, he resolutely chose to fuse his son and daughter together, using them as ingredients.

"Fusing siblings together? Who knows if it’s a true event or mere storytelling…"

Gu Nan mused as he rubbed his chin. After all, this was just an ancient legend. It had probably been exaggerated beyond recognition after tens of thousands of years.

After thinking about it, he finally set the information aside.

It’ll be best if he can uncover Zuo Zuo’s origins, but it’s no big deal even if he can’t.

He didn’t have any conflicts with Zuo Zuo currently, and they even had a common interest, so there was no need to worry right now.

However, another news White Mist sent over made Gu Nan frown slightly.

The King of the Deep Sea chose to send people to Heaven and Earth Star to secretly investigate his whereabouts.

As expected, none of the powerful figures who could advance to Tier 4 were fools. Since he couldn’t kill Gu Nan in a single blow using the epaulet he gave to Qin Xuanji, the King of the Deep Sea was determined to not leave any openings this time.

The fact that his true body returned to Star Realm meant he could attack with his full power at any time, even from a distance. All he needed was a medium to channel his powers through.

This would no longer be a blow that contained some of his strength, but an attack from the true body of a Tier 4 powerhouse.

"Once I meet the person he sent, I'm afraid it’ll immediately attract a Tier 4 attack. Looks like I still need to hide for a while."

Gu Nan's consciousness looked inside the Evil God Temple for a while. His Evil Value had already reached 455. The rate of increase was noticeably faster.

Locking Lan Si up and making her cultivate in earnest seemed to be effective—she might also be motivated by the experience of suffering a heavy injury.

After offhandedly destroying the documents containing information, Gu Nan slowly got up and opened the personal dungeon again.

Their agreed-upon time had already arrived.

……

In the depths of the endless starry sky stood a vast hidden palace. Endless starlight drew a sharp contrast with the dim interior of the palace.

The inside of this timeless palace was currently glowing with a faint red light, starting from the top of the palace and spreading all the way to the bottom.

When the red light had slowly spread out to the point where even the stars had to retreat, a figure walked out of the palace.

It was a woman in red. She wasn’t tall, but her brow was full of heroic vigor. Her red hair hung down like a bloody waterfall.

Just like that, she stood on the endless stars. After a long while, she sighed lightly. "He has returned."

"Your Majesty," a voice came from behind the woman in red. It was a middle-aged man wrapped in a red robe. "Do you want us to conduct an all-out search?"

"You guys won't be able to find him." The woman shook her head slightly. "Have Xue Yan travel to the Sixth Region and find a little fellow named Red Tail."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the middle-aged man replied, then added, "Your Majesty, bloodline user Red Tail is a descendant of the Indigo Mound tribe."

Red Tail indeed had a certain weight in the eyes of certain big shots. Even with the middle-aged man’s status, he still bothered to remember her.

"Oh? So that’s her… How very interesting." The woman in red smiled. Her face looked no different from a mortal’s.

"A descendant of the Indigo Mound tribe is looking for information on her tribe’s sworn enemy of many years ago. Has her identity already been exposed, or is this part of someone’s secret schemes?"

The woman in red didn't speak again. She simply stood on top of the palace, overlooking the billions of stars.

……

Gu Nan naturally didn't know that his decision to have Red Tail investigate certain people's information would end up catching the attention of a truly powerful figure.

Even if he knew, he’d probably still feel wronged—Zuo Zuo showed up as soon as he sent out the message asking for information.

But he didn’t have time to pay attention to this now, because after reopening the personal dungeon Splendid World, Zi Yi and Qiu Wenran quickly arrived by following the coordinates, while Zuo Zuo had disappeared.

Just like in Star Realm, he seemed to have completely disappeared.
