Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

The “Heaven-God Alliance,” an organization composed entirely of Star Rulers and gods, was probably named by a Star Ruler.

Based on the conventions of the Myriad Heavens Universe, perhaps the phrase "Heaven-God" represented the Myriad Heavens Universe and the World of Gods respectively.

But in any case, this proved the two sides were already in contact a long time ago.

It was just as well that Gu Nan's plans in the Capital of Blood were wrapping up. All that’s left was to wait for the vampires to start fighting Qinghe Pavilion, thereby awakening Cain's Left Hand.

Now that the matter reached this stage, the rest didn’t actually have much to do with Gu Nan anymore. He could simply watch the show unfold.

Unsealing Cain's Left Hand was a relatively complex multistep process rather than simply having to kill a set number of people. If the latter was true, then Gu Nan wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble and could just capture and kill a group of people.

To awaken Cain's Left Hand, first, at least three vampires needed to kill their opponents and unlock the first seal using the blood of their enemies. Only then would the hearts of three high-level vampires be needed to unlock the second seal.

And the final seal on Cain's Left Hand could only be undone by a mortal. At best, players could only be the oriole behind the mantis.

The reason the mission was designed to be so cumbersome was to make the game experience more interesting and fun.

In fact, the main plane called the Undead Kingdom was no longer a beginner’s village map. Any player who came here would be around Tier 5 or even higher.

So in order to prevent players from directly crushing all missions with brute force, any item with actual value was designed to be more cumbersome to acquire, which stopped players from simply getting drops after killing bosses.

Originally, when he had nothing better to do, Gu Nan didn’t mind staying behind to control the whole situation in case something unexpected happened.

But he had something more interesting now—the mysterious Heaven-God Alliance already attracted Gu Nan's full attention.

As for the vampire race’s divine weapon, Zhong Die, Shana, or the Wu Gui and Zi Dian still waiting in Skeleton City, Gu Nan tossed them all to the back of his mind.

……

The Elemental Plane.

Gu Nan and Sylvia found themselves surrounded by a lightning storm in all directions as soon as they arrived. This was the natural scenery of the Elemental Plane.

This naturally-formed elemental storm was enough to make it hard for Legend Rank powerhouses to take even a single step. Only elemental creatures could walk on the ground as if it was flat.

Of course, with Gu Nan and Sylvia’s power, they could ignore this insignificant elemental storm.

The World of Gods and the Myriad Heavens Universe still had some important differences.

The most typical difference was that none of the main planes in the World of Gods belonged to a particular god. Instead, they were collectively owned by the two major godly factions—the Light Faction and Dark Faction—and there were even neutral main planes like the Undead Kingdom.

This wasn’t like the Myriad Heavens Universe, where all the major planes were the astral worlds of powerhouses. Perhaps neutral planes might exist, but that was only because… they were so small that no Star Ruler wanted them.

The Elemental Plane Gu Nan was on was a typical neutral plane.

The environment here was essentially unsuitable for tangible lifeforms. Only elemental creatures could flourish here, so even gods had no interest in this place.

Sylvia brought Gu Nan here to meet the other members of the Heaven-God Alliance.

Without making them wait too long, an inexplicable aura descended. Sylvia's eyes lit up, but Gu Nan was the first to speak: "Rolensia."

Rolensia, the God of Luxuriant Blossoms, was a powerful Tier 10 god who was only one step away from becoming a greater god.

The appearance of a piece of water attribute Godhead in the Myriad Heavens Universe a while back, followed by the inexplicable appearance of Lan Si and her brother, puzzled Gu Nan for a long time.

How did they get to the Myriad Heavens Universe, and why did they know the Godhead’s whereabouts?

In hindsight, it was probably because Rolensia joined the Heaven-God Alliance and might even have forces that silently infiltrated the Myriad Heavens Universe.

The Myriad Heavens Universe, which naturally had countless planes, was more suitable for infiltration than this side. The gods could just find a random plane to hide their forces in, and in all likelihood, not even the Star Rulers of the Thirteen Heavens would be able to detect them.

A woman wearing a black and white nun robe slowly walked out of the endless storm with a cold expression.

Thunder and lightning crisscrossed all around her, but the elemental storm couldn’t even inch forth at all. And although it was clearly an elemental plane where only the elements could exist, flowers started blooming freely around the woman.

This was the terrifying might of Tier 10 gods, who didn’t even need to use their divine power, but whose presence alone was enough to affect the laws of reality.

"New member?" Rolensia's gaze shifted to Gu Nan, carefully studied him for a while, and frowned. "An astonishingly powerful divine body."

Gu Nan explained with a smile, "I'm from that side."

He didn’t explicitly say what "that side" was, but Rolensia clearly understood and gave a nod.

Gods only differed from each other in their respective divine authorities. There was no such thing as a different path of cultivation, so gods with particularly strong divine bodies didn’t really exist.

Even the deceased God of Strength could only tank two more divine attacks than the average god. He’d still be useless once he lost his divine power.

But the Myriad Heavens Universe was different; there were cultivators who walked the body refining path. In fact, the Rendering Mountain Venerable that Gu Nan previously met could be considered half a body tempering cultivator.

Rolensia then greeted Sylvia and fell silent, having no intention of striking further conversation with the two.

The God of Luxuriant Blossoms had always been this reticent. Gu Nan expected it already, so he didn’t mind.

Not long after Rolensia's arrival, two more people quickly descended. One of them was Cliff, the Sky God, while the other was a Star Ruler.

This Star Ruler revealed a smile as soon as he saw Gu Nan. "I was wondering which one from that side would be able to stop Sylvia from escaping. So it was Your Excellency Gu Nan.”

The person who spoke looked like an immortal, but he was an old man dressed as a Daoist. His long white beard reached his chest.

"This humble one, Clear Profundity Realm’s Daoist Lingyang, greets Daoist Friend." The old Daoist smiled lightly and bowed his head, looking amiable and approachable.

Gu Nan also returned his greetings unhurriedly, but in his mind, he knew very well that this Daoist Lingyang was by no means as good-natured as he seemed.

Clear Profundity Realm was a relatively rare type of astral world in the Myriad Heavens Universe, because the position of its Star Ruler was determined by a sect’s inheritance.

Clear Profundity Realm contained the Clear Profundity Sect, and its sect master would also be the Star Ruler of Clear Profundity Realm.

The fact that this Daoist Lingyang could ultimately win the sect master position from among his fellow sect members of several dozen generations meant he couldn’t possibly be a simple figure.

"Let’s begin now that everyone is here," Rolensia's calm and tranquil voice interrupted the two's courtesies.

According to the Heaven-God Alliance’s internal procedures, the admission of a new member required the recommendation of at least one official member and the completion of one of the organization’s commissions with three other members as witness.

This rule was set during the Heaven-God Alliance’s founding in order to emphasize the purpose of the Heaven-God Alliance, which was to help each other and benefit from each other’s strengths.

Gu Nan already knew about this. He thought about it and suggested, "Sylvia's commission hasn’t been completed yet. Does it count if I help her complete the commission?"
