Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Inside the Heavenly Palace, Gu Nan sat alone in the throne room, with the law nullification crystal right in front of him.

Gu Nan pressed one hand on the crystal, endlessly throwing the pitch-black power of shadows into the crystal. The shadows seemed like they had become a black chain.

Luo Fei thought that a fusion method was good enough to be used as a bargaining chip in front of Gu Nan, which was really naive.

With Gu Nan's knowledge and experience, it wasn’t hard for him to find a corresponding solution once he settled down to study something.

As for Luo Fei using herself to exchange for her daughter's safety, that was even more ridiculous.

Setting aside the fact that Gu Nan didn’t need her fighting power at all, even if there was a real need, he still couldn’t trust Luo Fei—it was impossible for NPCs whose affection levels had dropped to hatred to be recruited by players. This was a basic rule.

If an NPC really did surrender, then they must be a liar.

After a long time, Gu Nan slowly withdrew his hand. His power of shadows had almost been depleted, and he needed to rest for a while.

Under his constant effort, the originally clear interior of the law nullification crystal had produced many black lines, which look like a chained-up devil.

"My Lord, the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall has been cleaned up, and all opposition have been suppressed," Red Tail’s figure slowly appeared behind Gu Nan and reported in a low voice.

If someone compared the difference before and after Red Tail met Gu Nan, they would find that she was less charming and more indifferent.

Gu Nan gave both her and Lan Si a black dagger, but they contained different laws.

The power that Lan Si received originated from the Evil God physique, so once she accepted that power, her personality involuntarily became brutal and tyrannical.

The dagger that Red Tail received represented the law of shadows, which would make people cold and decisive.

However, Red Tail's strength and mentality were far above Lan Si, so the dagger’s influence on her was much weaker.

"Where's Lan Si?" Gu Nan asked absentmindedly, his eyes still tightly shut.

"Miss Lan has already taken over all the affairs of Heaven and Earth Star, and the cleanup progress… is much faster than before," Red Tail said vaguely, hidden meaning implicit in her words.

Gu Nan's lips curled into a small smile. He knew what Red Tail didn't say.

Since Lan Si accepted the Evil God’s power, it was within expectations for her personality to change greatly. As long as she didn’t hesitate about everything like she did before, the progress would naturally speed up.

As long as a person had strength, even if she did something wrong, there would still be someone doing everything possible to help remedy it.

Gu Nan also needed precisely this kind of Lan Si. In the future, she would need to invade other Divine Kingdoms on his behalf as an apostle. That would involve brutal wars fought to the death, so she couldn’t afford to hesitate at all.

Red Tail didn’t say anything else on this matter upon seeing that Gu Nan seemed to be satisfied with this. Instead, she talked about another topic.

"On Immortal Demon World’s side, the sowing of children of destiny has started, and it's smoother than expected." Red Tail's face seemed excited. "We've never seen a place so suitable for manipulating destiny!”

The forces of destiny and fate inside Immortal Demon World were so active that it hardly took them much effort. With a little guidance, a large number of children of destiny could be produced.

When these children of destiny grow up, fight each other, and produce the final winner, it’ll be time for White Mist to reap the harvest.

Gu Nan just gave a small nod in response. Harvesting fate was a long-term project; Immortal Demon World merely improved the efficiency of harvest. He didn't feel too overjoyed about that.

These days, in order to study the law nullification crystal, he even put aside his research into Immortal Demon World.

There were too many things to do, but Gu Nan could only do them one by one. Fortunately, very few people in this world could threaten him after reaching Tier 4, so there was plenty of time.

After a pause, Red Tail then said with an odd expression, "There's another matter that you might be interested in; it’s news from the Central Region."

"What is it?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrow. There were only a few people connected to him in the Central Region.

"Someone caused great havoc in Starry Ocean Pavilion. It’s said that the intruder shattered Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord’s soul while he was inside the Pavilion. Nobody knows if he’s currently dead or alive. And after that intruder caused such chaos, she was still able to float away easily; nobody could keep her from leaving.”

Gu Leng was stunned and asked with some amusement, "Is it that Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara?"

He could only think of one girl who had both the ability to do this and the motive to make a special trip just to cause trouble for the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord.

She could already fight Gu Nan to a standstill when she first awakened. If she had some time to settle down and consolidate her power, her strength would inevitably continue to soar.

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord was also blinded by obsession. He practically used the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara as a stepping stone to break through to Tier 4, then ran and hid in Starry Ocean Pavilion, thinking that he’d be out of danger if he just hid.

But he didn’t expect for her to be able to break into Starry Ocean Pavilion and shatter his soul.

As expected, Red Tail gave a light nod. "That person looks like a young girl and claims to be Wu Gui. Now, her reputation has already spread all over Star Realm, and even several nearby large planes have heard about her."

"Heavenly Mystery was courting death; you can ignore him." Gu Nan said casually, "Keep an eye out on this matter’s aftermath.”

He was even secretly thinking, ‘Should I also take a stroll around Starry Ocean Pavilion in my free time?’

‘After I completely fuse with the law nullification crystal, whatever Wu Gui can do, I’ll also be able to do… It’s a pity that I have no enemies in Starry Ocean Pavilion. The King of the Deep Sea is one, but he’s in the Deep Sea Temple.’

However, because of Zuo Zuo's remark, Gu Nan had no intention of visiting the Central Region unless it was absolutely necessary—with his current Tier 4 cultivation, impulsively getting involved in the game between Star Rulers was also akin to courting death.

……

In Immortal Demon World, a woman stood quietly on top of a mountain. The sunlight seemed to go straight through her.

There was a young man beside her with a grave and stern expression, but his eyes couldn’t help glancing at the woman's back, where there was no shadow.

"This is the Immortal Demon Battlefield in ancient times," the woman spoke softly and expressionlessly. "The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara will find this place sooner or later. You just have to wait for her here."

The young man's expression remained unchanged. Ever since his rise to power as a youth, his life had always been smooth sailing, but he matured greatly after experiencing the recent ups and downs.

His power didn’t fall even now that he lost the blessing of destiny. In contrast, he felt more like he was living for himself.

He was Ye Chen, the former King of the Northern Region who once stood at the peak of all Dao Lords.

"The ancient Immortal Demon Battlefield… Can I trust you?" Ye Chen was silent for a moment and asked with a heavy voice.

Xue Yan's face remained blank. "You have no other choice."

"That’s true. It's an honor for me, Ye Chen, to carry out a powerhouse’s orders." Ye Chen smiled self-deprecatingly and rubbed his nose.

Xue Yan pushed lightly with her hand, instantly shattering Ye Chen's body. Only his soul was slowly cast down, falling into Immortal Demon World.

She took great pains to bring Ye Chen into Immortal Demon World completely, thus bypassing the world’s law of exchanging half of one’s soul. This allowed Ye Chen to fully assimilate into the world.

Only those who fully belonged to Immortal Demon World had the chance to become a true child of destiny.

"Those who attempt to manipulate destiny will surely suffer backlash from destiny." Xue Yan slowly turned her head and looked at the endless void, as if she could see the mastermind manipulating fate here.
