Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Champions World was more like the holographic games in Gu Nan's past life, which were different from competitive games played using a keyboard and mouse.

One of the biggest differences was that under normal circumstances, the majority of minions’ attacks against champions wouldn’t hit their marks.

After all, champions were all Prodigious cultivators capable of flying in the air. How could minions hit them from the ground? Even for long-range archers, shooting the arrow upwards would still greatly reduce its power.

In a normal laning phase, champions wouldn’t casually cross over the battle line, because if they went too deep into enemy territory, the enemy could flank them and force them to land on the ground. But it was actually alright if they just went over the line a little.

As long as they weren’t held up by the enemy, they had nothing to fear even if they drew the minions’ aggro.

Therefore, when Gu Nan controlled the wave to be directly underneath the tower, they were able to aggressively stop the enemy from last hitting—they were backed by the city wall, so even if they recklessly crossed the battle line, it was still impossible for the "Mi duo" to flank them!

But similarly, it was also because of this setting that Star Ruler Mi Tian basically received the minion wave’s protection once he chose to land among friendly minions.

At this time, if Gu Nan went to kill him again, the Black Base minions would certainly not be polite to him.

"But his actions are tantamount to completely giving up on last hitting," Gu Nan remarked with a smile.

Of course the reason all the champions unanimously decided to float in midair at the start of the battle wasn’t purely to look flashy. Only a bird’s-eye view of the battlefield would allow them to easily observe the overall situation and see where they could last hit.

Once a champion landed on the ground battlefield, they’d only be able to see their immediate surroundings, and the number of last hits they’d be able to get in would be particularly pitiful.

"What do we do next? Keep pushing?" Wu Gui seemed to become a curious child, needing to consult Gu Nan every step of the way.

She’d gradually gotten used to Gu Nan's choice of words, and she also asked insightful questions.

Star Ruler Mi Tian hid amongst the minions firstly to protect himself and secondly to slow down the rhythm of their push. If they wantonly attacked the enemy minions, they might just fall prey to a sneak attack from Mi Tian.

"Push," but Gu Nan answered without hesitation.

The purpose of wave control was to keep the enemy from last hitting and perhaps even rush to Level 2 to kill the enemy. Now that the tactical objectives had already been achieved, there was no need to continue.

While saying this, Gu Nan handed something to Wu Gui. Surprisingly, it was a giant basket packed to the brim with swords.

These longswords were all weapons used by mortals, and the materials were of such poor quality that Wu Gui could casually snap them with one hand.

"This is what you found in the base?"

"Yup."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wu Gui shot Gu Nan a strange look, up until Gu Nan flew up to the enemy wave and mercilessly threw the sword down.

The slightly blunt sword actually pierced straight through an enemy’s body under the workings of Gu Nan’s terrifying strength and gravity.

The battlefield fell silent momentarily. A weapon falling from the sky made many people subconsciously look up.

When they saw Gu Nan's figure and identified which side he belonged to, there was a burst of cheering from those belonging to the White Base, while the Black Base’s troop morale dropped yet again since Mi Luo’s death.

The differences between Champions World and pure competitive games were reflected in every minute detail, and morale was also a very important factor.

Low morale also played a role in the White Base minions being pushed back so easily.

"Isn't there Prodigious suppression?" Wu Gui had reached Gu Nan’s side at some point. She also tested it out by throwing a sword down, and the result was generally the same.

"Prodigious suppression only suppresses Prodigious Realm power used directly against them." Gu Nan aimed a sword at another enemy and impaled him to death. "But it was the sword that killed them, not us."

Wu Gui paused slightly, considering his words for a long time. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with what he said.

"Then why didn't you do this before?"

"Since it’s the sword that killed them, the money won’t belong to me either!"

……

On the white lane.

Ying Ge and Zi Dian were still pushing the opponents’ minion wave, practically beating the two enemy champions down so much that they couldn’t even lift their heads and slowly wearing away the health of the city wall.

This was also not the first time the two of them had entered Champions World. Although they might not have studied the art of “wave management” in-depth, they were still able to comprehend the basic principles from experience.

At this time, their wave stayed near the front of the enemy's city wall to ensure that the enemy wouldn’t dare go out while also making it easy for them to last hit.

At the same time, because of the lane’s attack bonus advantage, they could organize an attack on the city wall every two waves, putting great pressure on the Black Base.

This was precisely the tactical victory that Mi Luo and Mi Tian wanted to achieve the most, but Gu Nan single-handedly controlled the waves, completely destroying their plan.

Just as Ying Ge and Zi Dian were relentlessly attacking, white light suddenly flashed over the other end of the bloody sky, landing on the side belonging to the White Base.

Ying Ge and Zi Dian, who were both “old hands” here, couldn’t help feeling stunned. They looked at each other in surprise, then couldn’t help staring over there.

Of course they knew this was a sign that an enemy champion had been killed.

"The two enemies on that lane are obviously veterans, yet one of them actually died to a pair of novices?" The petite Ying Ge flung her cloak and even forgot about pushing the wave to ask.

Zi Dian's face appeared somewhat helpless, and he also sheathed his sword. "The origin of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara is fairly clear. If I really have to name someone who can accomplish such a thing… I'm afraid there’s only that little fellow."

It wasn’t wrong for these two, who’d lived for tens of thousands of years, to refer to Gu Nan as this.

The two fell silent for a moment. They didn't know how Gu Nan did it, so they became more and more curious about this guy with mysterious origins.

"Why do you think that one asked him to protect me?" Ying Ge casually stabbed the crescent blade into her own body.

The curved blade named Ying Ge sank into the girl’s abdomen, but it didn't cause any scars. Instead, it was like a drop of water falling into the sea, merging with her body.

But Zi Dian just shook his head slightly. "She has ruled over Star Realm for several eras, but there are very few examples of her meddling in the internal matters of Star Realm. However, she made an exception this time."

Although Zi Dian was only calmly stating facts, Ying Ge had been with him for many years. Their minds were already connected, so she knew exactly what he was talking about.

"There aren’t many matters that can elicit that one’s concern." Ying Ge’s eyes seemed to flicker with a faint crimson light. "That Gu Nan, he recognizes me… my face, that is."

……

On the black lane.

After Gu Nan and Wu Gui gave up the income from last hitting and adopted the “dart throwing” method to push the wave, the speed at which they cleared the enemy minions suddenly rose by more than one grade.

Only Gu Nan, someone who finished killing all the marked minions, would dare to sacrifice all that income like this. Otherwise, pushing the wave like this would do more harm than good.

But if Gu Nan and Wu Gui merely lost out on some income, then Star Ruler Mi Tian’s situation could be described as “wants to cry but has no tears.”

Mi Luo, his older brother, hadn’t even respawned yet. Mi Tian was originally hiding among the minions and believed himself to be safe for the time being, at least until the next minion wave arrived…

But who knew that these two fellows would actually bring over some mortal weapons!

When all the minions from the Black Base fell, Star Ruler Mi Tian’s location was also exposed, leaving him with nowhere to run or hide.

He could only watch as Gu Nan and Wu Gui simultaneously rushed towards him. Gu Nan was even saying something:

"Give me the kill."
