Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Yan Weng chose the underground of a rather remote mountain village as the smuggling ship’s location. Nobody would be able to find its exact location if he didn’t personally lead the way.

"My Lord, I’ve already stationed someone to wait over there. Your companion will be directly informed of the location once she arrives," Yan Weng came to Gu Nan's side and said ingratiatingly.

After understanding the premise of "I absolutely cannot offend Gu Nan,” Yan Weng had already waited alongside Gu Nan for a long time, but they never saw any sign Wu Gui.

Gu Nan finally grew impatient of waiting and just had Yan Weng lead the way without waiting for Wu Gui.

He and Wu Gui initially agreed on a time, but the latter didn’t show up at all. She was most likely delayed by something.

Gu Nan was very patient when it came to doing missions, but not when it came to other things, especially when an NPC stood him up.

After all, Wu Gui's existence was only a support. Although it was certainly nice to have a helper, Gu Nan wasn’t too concerned even if there wasn’t one.

If this mission required Wu Gui, then he definitely wouldn’t be this calm and would’ve gone looking for her whereabouts through various clues a long time ago.

On the other side, Lu Xinhuan was followed by a small girl who looked slightly younger than her.

The little girl wore a strange gauze dress that continuously produced some clouds and mist that curled around her.

Gu Nan couldn’t help casting a few more glances at this strange kind of special effects clothing. If not for the fact that "special effects fashion" also existed in the game, he would’ve suspected that he’d discovered an Easter egg[1].

"Big Sis Lu, is that person really as powerful as you say he is?" The girl in green hid behind Lu Xinhuan and whispered with her head down, as if someone would eavesdrop on her if she stood straight.

Lu Xinhuan didn’t have the heart to tell her that if that person wanted to eavesdrop, he’d be able to hear them clearly even if they ran down the mountain to talk.

‘But with that one's status, I don't think he’d do such a thing as eavesdrop on little girls.’

"Very powerful," Lu Xinhuan answered with a smile. "Your daddy said that ten thousand years later, this person might just grow as powerful as him."

Zhong Die, the young girl in green, played with her fingers. "Ah, ten thousand years… Then he’s not powerful yet, right?"

"Even right now, he’s still more powerful than your Big Sis Lu." Lu Xinhuan rubbed the little Zhong Die's hair. "You’ve got to be good this time—you have to listen to me when we’re outside. You must not say whatever comes to your mind."

"I know…"

A few moments later, the group of four walked through the underground passage and stopped in front of a strange starship. Some people were already waiting around it.

Yan Weng immediately said, "Three Esteemed Guests, please wait a moment."

He didn't even clarify what they were waiting for before hurriedly running to the group of people, as if afraid Gu Nan would ask more questions.

Lu Xinhuan couldn't help laughing. "Lord Gu Nan, looks like your joke earlier scared him."

Gu Nan glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "I wasn’t joking."

Lu Xinhuan was taken aback. She didn’t think Gu Nan was actually serious and thought he just said it to threaten Yan Weng… but when she thought about it carefully, this one really was qualified to say such things.

In this world, the vast majority of rules no longer applied to Star Rulers.

As existences that transcended the mundane world, Star Rulers weren’t bound by most rules. It was even more laughable to say that they would be bound by things like morality or laws.

They were existences who could even recreate the world itself, so they didn’t need to compromise on anything except things that could threaten their lives.

As one of the vice presidents of Qinghe Realm’s Commerce Association, Lu Xinhuan’s status could be likened to Yan Xiaoxiao and the others within the Divine Kingdom, so it wasn’t like she never met Star Rulers before.

It’s just that even among Star Rulers, people so thoroughly detached from the secular world were still quite rare. Most still retained some traces of their humanity.

For example, it was impossible for Star Rulers like Zhong Qinghe—who had a ton of children—to completely transcend the mundane world, or else where did Zhong Die come from?

Just when the three were waiting for Yan Weng to finish negotiating, a spatial crack opened above them and immediately alerted the other people present.

They were trying to enter the World of Gods illegally. If this was exposed, everyone would be wiped out!

"Who is it?!”

"Elder Yan, what's going on here?"

"Stop him, don't let him come out!"

The underground cavern that wasn’t too spacious to begin with was suddenly filled with all kinds of noise. The scene was simply like a group of brothel patrons being caught red-handed by police just as they were about to head home.

There were even people floating in the air, ready to attack anyone who came out of the spatial passage, but it didn’t take long before they shrunk back.

Because the first thing that came out of the passage was a slender palm emitting golden light, but another burst of monstrous demonic intent surged up before the palm fully arrived.

The next moment, Wu Gui’s figure completely appeared. At her side was a sword-wielding uncle with a pale complexion.

Gu Nan recognized this person as well. He was the swordsman uncle Zi Dian, who was trapped and sealed in Star Realm for ten thousand years together with Ying Ge.

His own name was Zi Dian, and the sword in his hand was also called Zi Dian.

The entire body of this sword was suffused with purple crackles of electricity, while a drop of blood slid down the sword.

Combined with Wu Gui’s astonishing demonic intent, it was obvious that they’d just finished a big battle and rushed here before they could even pull back their attacks.

"There was a bit of a delay," Wu Gui said as she brought the considerably-injured Zi Dian to Gu Nan.

"Mm, let’s set off since you’re here now."

Gu Nan glanced at her and was too lazy to ask what happened. This person had been hanging out with Red recently, so in all likelihood, something happened to Ying Ge and Zi Dian.

Wu Gui then pointed to the Zi Dian beside her. "I also need to bring one more person."

"That’s fine." Gu Nan's face was indifferent. He didn’t mind at all how many people he took with him. Anyhow, he could always abandon these teammates at a moment’s notice and leave.

At that time, abandoning one person and abandoning two people made no difference at all.

Although Gu Nan didn’t mind, the Yan Weng who just walked back to their side seemed to be struck by five lightning bolts—he finally persuaded two people to give up their spots after much difficulty, but how come there was one more person when he turned around?

But he also didn’t dare complain in the slightest. He might not have recognized Gu Nan at first, but he recognized this one at first glance: the fusion of Buddha and demon—this was the reincarnation of the now-famous Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara!

"My Lord, this…" Yan Weng’s old face had a troubled expression. He didn’t even know what to say.

This was human smuggling, not tourism. How could they just add passengers so casually?! Of course, he absolutely didn’t dare voice this to Wu Gui. He could only go back and continue to persuade other customers.

It didn't take long for some of the people on that side to cause a ruckus.

"You just told us to give up two spots, and now you want us to give up yet another spot? Old man, don't be too greedy!" An elegant and youthful-looking girl had a face full of anger at this moment.

"That's right. You’re so amazing just because you’re the reincarnation of a great power?" Another person also spoke up, but their voice was much quieter. They clearly recognized Wu Gui.
