Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Under the night sky, Jin Yi and Zi He finally arrived at the ruins of the Duanmu family's residence while also bringing Zhou Jingwen along in passing.

They had already reached the edge of the large pit outside the ancestral tomb. This wasn’t because these two were good at searching. Rather, the underground cave was way too obvious.

This bottomless pit wasn’t the only obvious clue. For the two Void Cutter cultivators, fluctuations from the law of shadows just now was like a beacon in the dark.

"This is it." Jin Yi gazed downwards, her expression grave.

Ever since they surmised that Gu Nan might still be able to fight, they were far more cautious than before and even planned to run if something went wrong.

No matter how important one’s face was, it ultimately wasn’t as important as their lives.

"Keep an eye on her." Jin Yi pointed to Zhou Jingwen on the side. "Gu Nan left a law mark on her, which might come in handy."

They naturally discovered the pitch-black dagger Gu Nan left Zhou Jingwen.

The law mark of Void Cutter cultivators wasn’t something that could be given casually. Every Void Cutter expert could give only a limited number of marks, so after putting themselves in Gu Nan’s shoes, they didn’t think Gu Nan would use one casually.

Zi He nodded to indicate that he understood.

Zhou Jingwen could only be carried by Zi He, feeling wronged as she stood beside the two. Her tears were about to fall.

She was just an ordinary student, yet she found the location of the Duanmu family's residence after much difficulty and ran here. Was it easy for her?!

But she was caught by these two before she could even find Senior’s whereabouts or get any more benefits—even with Zhou Jingwen's lack of insight, she could still see that they were Senior’s enemies.

Classmate Zhou wanted to cry. ‘If I’d known this earlier, even betraying Gu Nan directly would still be better than ending up like this!’

‘Since these two chased down that senior and injured him so grievously, they might be stronger than him…’

Zhou Jingwen's mind was thinking random thoughts, but before her thoughts fell, she discovered that the present situation had changed again.

A ray of purple light shot from up the pit and rushed directly towards Jin Yi beside her.

At the same time, a shadow had already emerged behind Zi He, and a heavy punch quietly struck the back of his head.

Zhou Jingwen, who was standing behind the two, took in the whole scene at once.

She only felt that time seemed to slow down, and she suddenly had a lot more time to think.

But in reality, she had no time to think about anything. This battle, which was unequal from beginning to end, ended in an instant.

Zi He, who was targeted by the heavy punch, fared no better than his companion Lan Po. His head was directly blown apart by this punch.

And Jin Yi’s side was even stranger. That purple light broke through the void and flashed across Jin Yi. Then her entire person seemed to become fixed in place, motionless.

Under Zhou Jingwen’s astonished gaze, Jin Yi’s body slowly split down the middle, separating into two halves that fell to the ground at the same time.

Hearing, touch, smell—everything from reality began to return to Zhou Jingwen's body. The strong stench of blood made her feel sick, and a strange conversation traveled into her ears.

"One blow."

"Me too."

"Law nullification?"

"Swordsman."

The conversation that sounded incomprehensible to Zhou Jingwen was enough to clearly express Gu Nan and Zi Dian’s attitudes.

The contest between the two sides was a draw, because regardless of speed, they both killed their opponent in one blow. What followed was their respective views on each other's abilities.

Law nullification powers were too rare, so Zi Dian wasn’t sure if his guess was right. Gu Nan, on the other hand, was quite sure of Zi Dian's ability.

He was a swordsman, a pure, unadulterated swordsman who had nothing to do with any laws.

To put it another way, all his laws were related to the law of the sword, which encompassed all the characteristics of a "sword"—swiftness, sharpness, piercing power, etc…

At this moment, Gu Nan finally understood what the 300 Evil Value warning meant.

If he fought Zi Dian at this moment, there might be a real possibility of death.

It wasn’t because Zi Dian was strong, but because of his sword—his sword had accompanied him in his slumber for ten thousand years inside that coffin!

Swordsmen could nurture their swords, accumulating power over time to release in a single blow, and Zi Dian nurtured his sword inside that coffin for ten thousand years. Just how world-shaking would this sword strike of his be after leaving secluded cultivation?

Fortunately, Jin Yi took this blow in his place, and Zi Dian seemed more willing to be his teammate rather than his enemy… Perhaps Red also played a factor in this.

"It's just that the collateral damage is a bit high."

Gu Nan glanced towards Jin Yi, staring at the sword mark a thousand meters long in the ground behind her. Even the ground was cut into—the gash was nearly half a meter deep.

With such a sword, one slash was enough to cut even ten Jin Yi’s at once.

"When do we leave?" Gu Nan didn't think much more about this and asked directly. That was all he really cared about.

"In three days." Zi Yi stood beside Gu Nan and slowly sheathed his sword. "We have some matters to take care of."

Zi Dian and Ying Ge just woke up, so having some trifling matters to deal with was only to be expected. Gu Nan nodded in understanding.

"Then see you in three days. I’ll take this as collateral." He raised the crescent blade Ying Ge in his hand, his figure instantly disappearing before Zi Dian could respond.

Ying Ge’s Ying Ge was naturally a very important item, so he wasn't afraid of the other party going back on their word.

Zi Dian and Ying Ge were most certainly still hiding many secrets.

‘For example, what’s the relationship between Zi Dian and Zi Yi? Why does Red want Gu Nan to protect Ying Ge? And why was Ying Ge's Ying Ge stabbed into Zi Dian's heart? Why is Ying Ge—that little girl—so weak…’

This series of tongue-twister questions… Gu Nan wasn’t interested at all.

‘Who the hell has time to care about NPCs’ background stories?’

"Hey…" Zi Dian shouted somewhat helplessly, but of course he didn't receive a response. "Since you don't care, I'll accept this girl. Not a bad seedling."

He turned to Zhou Jingwen with a small smile on his handsome face. "Beautiful young lady, are you interested in learning the sword?"

……

Gu Nan returned to Immortal Demon World.

This was the place he viewed as his future Divine Kingdom. He didn’t have time to come back before this, but now that he had three days to spare, of course he had to come back and take a look.

With the group of shadow servants brought back from Heaven and Earth Star, the construction progress of the Divine Kingdom was immediately accelerated.

In terms of both ability and the diversity of powers, these shadow servants far exceeded Yan Xiaoxiao's imagination. She couldn’t be more satisfied.

"In a year at most, the layout of the two major alliances can be completely established," Yan Xiaoxiao answered with slight excitement when Gu Nan asked about the progress.

Her excitement was quite rare, but it was a good thing for Gu Nan. This meant that Yan Xiaoxiao had found a new goal, and it also meant that the construction of the Divine Kingdom wouldn’t mess up because of her.

It seemed that from her youth, what this somewhat strange girl pursued wasn’t power itself, but an offshoot of power—authority.

The reason she once lost herself in wanton killing was also because she longed for the authority to control other people's lives.

This goal became clearer after ruling Azure Dragon Hall for over twenty years.

"Not bad." Gu Nan nodded with satisfaction. "Let's start a duel screening mechanism within the two alliances, and the class ranking system can be implemented together."

Yan Xiaoxiao understood and asked, "Do first class people need some kind of special identification?"

"Have them wear green."
