Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

The world was crumbling apart, and heaven and earth were collapsing.

The scene that occurred when Gu Nan first seized the origin was being repeated even more violently right now, and even meteors started to rain down from the sky.

Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes were bloodshot and her heart was dripping with blood.

It took her over ten years of hard work to build up the two major alliances and 100 city-states with great difficulty. But under this apocalyptic scene, she’d be lucky to preserve even one-tenth of that.

And if this situation continued, then the entire world would completely fall apart within an hour, and everything would die out.

Zuo Zuo's figure had long since disappeared. Of course he couldn’t give Gu Nan any reply, and Gu Nan also wasn’t purely trying to disgust the other party. Rather, Gu Nan was trying to divert Zuo Zuo's attention.

Zuo Zuo’s current situation was actually very easy to guess.

His war against Red had reached the most critical moment, and he realized that the victory he was originally almost certain of actually still needed some help to achieve. Therefore, he once again had a demand for certain objects that he originally abandoned.

After all, Immortal Demon World was Zuo Zuo's former Dao Hall, and its origin was admittedly what Zuo Zuo needed right now. So then, could Zuo Zuo have left behind other arrangements in Immortal Demon World as well?

The reason Gu Nan didn’t hesitate to destroy the origin at the cost of also destroying his future Divine Kingdom was because he wanted to completely dispel Zuo Zuo's desire for Immortal Demon World.

Under such circumstances, using Ying Ge’s existence to divert Zuo Zuo’s attention was undoubtedly the best choice.

As for whether revealing this kind of information would lead to Red’s defeat… What did her life and death have to do with Gu Nan?

In fact, Gu Nan actually wanted these two to kill each other so as to give him time to grow.

The golden light on Gu Nan's body finally began to fade rapidly. His figure and strength also returned to normal levels. This was also the reason why Gu Nan was in a hurry to destroy the origin—after he exited deity mode, he wouldn’t be able to destroy the origin even if he wanted to.

A world’s origin wasn’t like a glass ball that could be broken by any random person.

"Teacher, is there… truly still a chance to save this world?" Yan Xiaoxiao had naturally also heard Gu Nan’s conversation with Zuo Zuo, so she asked slightly apprehensively.

She witnessed Gu Nan's power decline with her own eyes. ‘Perhaps the Teacher from a few minutes ago might be able to do it, but now…’

"Of course." Gu Nan answered bluntly, "Of course… I can't do it."

Yan Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched slightly. If the one in front of her wasn’t the teacher she respected the most, she really wanted to punch him in the face right now. After all, the sky was still raining down meteors.

"It depends on her." But Gu Nan wasn’t joking. He pointed seriously to one side, where Lan Si was standing.

Lan Si was immediately startled. She also never expected that the mission of saving the world would fall to her.

When Lan Si’s dumbfounded expression fell into Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes, she even believed that Gu Nan was talking nonsense, but Gu Nan spoke before she could ask again.

"You've been fusing with the Godhead ever since you were Tier 3. Now that you’ve broken through Tier 4, the Godhead will draw closer to you of its own accord, and your divinity will begin to be generated," Gu Nan spoke frankly with assurance.

It wasn’t uncommon for people to inherit Godheads in the game. There weren’t many cases where players could intervene, but there were too many instances of native NPCs accidentally acquiring Godheads.

So Gu Nan was quite familiar with the growth and development of people who became gods this way.

They were still human at Tier 3, but at Tier 4, they would begin their transformation into gods. The first wisp of divinity would be born inside the Godhead, truly producing an ability that belonged to the race called “gods.”

The reason Lan Si could suppress Baili Tuo so easily was also related to the Godhead. Otherwise, it was impossible for a newly-advanced Tier 4 like her to do such a thing.

"So, so then?" But Lan Si didn’t understand what Gu Nan was saying. Her expression still looked dazed.

"Tier 4 means you can mend the sky!" Gu Nan looked frustrated at how slowly Lan Si was catching on. "Back then, Rolensia also mended the sky before she became a god. Don’t tell me you don’t even know about that?"

"Ah? Mend what?"

"Oh, it should be called repairing the Stone of the World in your world."

Lan Si finally understood what he meant after Gu Nan used language from the game.

In the World of Gods, people believed that everything in the world evolved from the Stone of the World, which was also the world’s core.

The world outlook in the game was naturally the same. Rolensia, the God of Luxuriant Blossoms that Lan Si formerly worshiped, once participated in the work of repairing the Stone of the World when she was in the half-god realm.

Of course players wouldn’t adopt such a lengthy phrase like "repairing the Stone of the World." Instead, they used a very visual "mend the sky" to describe it, and Gu Nan also blurted that out without thinking.

Lan Si grew up in the Kingdom of Luxuriant Blossoms, so of course she was familiar with the past achievements of her Mother Goddess.

It’s just that although she’d heard about this back then, she wasn’t familiar with the process at all!

"It's very simple." Now, it was time for an old hand like Gu Nan to give directions. "The divine power of water naturally contains the law of creation. If you use your divine power to repair the cracks in this world, the kindling may be born again."

The kindling was also a unique saying from the game, which generally referred to an unlit divine fire—that is, the natural world’s origin here.

Lan Si understood this time. As long as she kept repairing this world, the origin that Gu Nan shattered might still reappear again.

This process sounded very simple. In reality, the difficulty lay in the fact that other people didn’t even have the ability to repair the world at all. Only Lan Si's divine power of water could do it.

Yan Xiaoxiao only had a half-baked understanding, but she was the most anxious and impatient one here, so she immediately urged, "Won’t you try it?"

"I’ll try."

……

Above the endless void, inside the palace that seemed to be eternally located in the starry sky, two figures were calmly confronting each other.

One was Zuo Zuo, who was only as tall as a child. Half of his body was a boy and the other half was a girl. The other person was a woman covered in red makeup.

If Gu Nan was here, he would’ve recognized her. This was the woman who told him Ying Ge’s whereabouts and asked him to protect her.

She called herself "Red."

At the moment, Red quietly sat on the throne, while Zuo Zuo stood in front of her motionlessly.

As if something had drifted into the silent palace, Zuo Zuo slowly opened his eyes. "A child heard that I actually have an older sister. Perhaps this is good news?"

"Belated good news," Red answered leisurely without even bothering to lift her eyelids.

Zuo Zuo glared at her coldly, and the ferocious girl's face on his left side was becoming more and more gloomy and twisted.

He had never underestimated his opponent of ten thousand years ago. After all, she was the one who pushed him into the abyss with a gentle push at his proudest and most complacent moment.

Only then did she obtain this Realm Level world as easily as taking a pie.

In Immortal Demon World, she was the one who took away one of the twins he arranged ahead of time, so that he wouldn’t be able to acquire a complete world origin, and by the time he wanted to settle for an incomplete one, he couldn’t even get that.

And now, his older sister who should’ve died ten thousand years ago was still alive…

The coldness in his left eye became more pronounced, and he even started wondering whether the little fellow containing a trace of Immortal Demon World’s aura that he accidentally met was also this woman’s arrangement.

‘Did she set up all the pieces, just waiting for me to take the bait?’

"Is that little fellow your underling too?"

"No." On a rare occasion, Red opened her eyes with a strange smile. "That is a porcupine. At first, you feel that his spikes sting a little when touched, but by the time you realize his threat, it’s too late."
