Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

After coming here a few times, Gu Nan was already familiar with the process.

However, this time was a bit different from the past, as Gu Nan finally entered the World of Gods through official channels instead of smuggling himself in.

After Zi Luo Elder’s ascension, although no one called him the “Fourteenth Heaven” for the time being due to the ten years time limit, at least the members of the Heaven-God Alliance no longer had to hide themselves.

As long as it wasn’t confirmed that Zi Luo Elder’s realm had fallen, the Heaven-God Alliance would still be a tremendously popular organization in the Myriad Heavens, at least for the time being, and Gu Nan and the others were able to travel unhindered.

"Lord Gu Nan, please wait here. We will arrive at the World of Gods tomorrow evening," an attendant stood respectfully in front of Gu Nan and said.

Gu Nan, who had gone through the official channels, was currently inside a giant cruise ship.

The cruise ship wasn’t sailing in water, but traveling directly through the void between the two worlds.

It had to be said that this kind of giant cruise ship, which transported thousands of people at once, was indeed much more efficient than smuggling.

But that wasn’t necessarily the case when it came down to the individuals themselves. At least Gu Nan wouldn’t need to go through layers of vetting and gatekeeping if he entered through more illegal channels.

And since they had to transport thousands of people at a time, the speed of the cruise ship naturally had to slow down, which was the main cause of the delay.

The attendant bowed and left, so Gu Nan took a stroll alone on the top floor of the cruise ship, pondering which god he should hunt this time.

Now that he’d already leveled up to Tier 7, there were more targets to choose from. It wasn't like when he was at Tier 6 earlier, where he had to specifically look for the Mirror God’s trouble.

Theoretically, he would have to kill a Tier 9 god to accumulate enough Evil Value, but killing a Tier 9 god right now might cause a bit too much commotion.

If possible, Gu Nan didn’t mind killing a few more Tier 8 gods, or even Tier 7 and Tier 6 ones.

If bosses didn't drop equipment but only experience, then farming normal monsters was undoubtedly more efficient.

Gu Nan's mind went through suitable candidates, each with a corresponding event to trigger in order to get these gods to appear alone.

Just as Gu Nan was leaning on the railing with one hand, deep in thought, footsteps sounded by his ears.

"Save me! My Lord, please save me!"

Along with the sound of footsteps was a woman’s cry for help.

Gu Nan turned to look, and what entered his sight was a young blonde girl. She was wearing a conspicuous pink dress that looked a little wrinkled, and it seemed like she hadn't changed it in quite a while.

Gu Nan, however, was slightly taken aback when he saw her and subconsciously blurted out, "Elise?"

The blonde girl froze as well, as if she didn’t expect to run into someone who recognized her in a place like this.

From the expression on the young girl's face, Gu Nan could tell that the other party was indeed the Elise he remembered.

It’s just that she was supposed to be from the World of Gods, so how could she appear in such a place? Gu Nan felt that many things seemed to be disturbed again.

The sound of footsteps behind Elise became more and more urgent, and she no longer had the luxury to ask more questions, so she hurriedly hid behind Gu Nan.

Several uniformed men quickly arrived, their eyes landing on the Elise behind Gu Nan.

One of the younger ones glared and reached out to grab Elise but was pulled back by the older one next to him.

This was the top floor of the cruise ship. All the people living here were true powerhouses, none of whom they could afford to casually offend.

However, he also had no intention of backing down, believing that with his master's identity, the other party would be willing to give them face.

"This woman is the favorite concubine of Daoist Heir Qin Ning. Please hand her over, and Void Grotto Heaven will definitely reward Your Excellency generously," after stopping the young man, the elder said to Gu Nan in manner neither servile nor overbearing.

Gu Nan's reputation at this point was considered to be sky-high, but not many people actually recognized his face. After all, he’d only ever been in contact with bigshots.

Gu Nan didn’t take the other party seriously at all.

The so-called Daoist Heir was nothing more than the next-generation successor that Void Grotto Heaven was looking for. In case Yu Lian met with a calamity, Void Grotto Heaven wouldn't have a break in leadership or inheritance.

However, there were at least dozens of such Daoist Heirs, and in Gu Nan's eyes, they were completely insignificant.

Gu Nan flat-out ignored the person in front of him and turned to look at Elise. "Why are you here?"

"I… came to the Myriad Heavens with my Lord Father," Elise didn't dare to hide anything when she saw Gu Nan's serious expression.

"Later, Lord Father wanted to marry me off to Mr. Qin Ning…”

"I see." Gu Nan nodded and asked, "Where’s your father?"

Elise shook her head. "I snuck out alone."

The conversation between the two ended here. Gu Nan had nothing more to ask for the time being, only a strange feeling in his heart.

Elise had a linked quest on her, and the trigger mechanism was her father wanting to marry her off. But in the original game, she definitely wasn’t supposed to be married to some Daoist Heir.

In other words, the storyline was misplaced.

Instead, Elise came to the Myriad Heavens, and the target of the mission had also changed to someone from the Myriad Heavens.

This change intrigued Gu Nan, and he wanted to know what had prompted it all. But before that, he had to deal with these fellows in front of him.

"Your Excellency, you also heard her." The man from earlier spoke again, "This is a family matter between this girl and my family’s Daoist Heir. You—"

"Go back and tell her old man that if he wants his daughter back, he’ll have to come find me in the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom." Gu Nan patted Elise's shoulder, signaling for her to follow him.

"Stop!" The young man who looked hot-tempered finally couldn't stand this blatant disregard any longer.

He drew a long blade from his waist and glared ahead with a deep, cold gaze… The next instant, he was immediately swatted aside by a shadow, and his figure crashed through the skylight and fell into the endless void.

Countless void substances harmful to ordinary people quickly poured in, and the location of the skylight was already covered with a layer of black fog. The older man from earlier couldn’t help feeling his heart skip a beat.

‘This matter just got very out of hand…’

Alarms immediately began ringing inside the cruise ship, and several cruise ship guards swiftly arrived, already skillfully starting to patch up the broken skylight. Evidently, this wasn’t the first time they had done this kind of thing.

But Lu Tao, one of the vice captains who arrived immediately afterward, was still very annoyed. He couldn't believe that someone was already causing violent incidents when the cruise ship had just departed—and even stirring up such a big commotion to boot!

Wasn’t this showing complete disregard for the owner of the cruise ship—Weapon Martial Heaven’s Lord Zou Jiming?

Lu Tao looked at the older man with a dark expression. ''Which family are you from? Personal fights are strictly forbidden on the cruise ship. Weren't you warned before boarding the ship?"

One of the older man’s companions had just died, yet here he was still being pelted with beratings, so his expression didn’t look good either.

But he also knew that the other party's status far outranked his own, so he forced down his anger and responded, "I am the Sixth Guardian under Daoist Heir Qin Ning. Just now, it was that person who attacked first. My Lord, I beg of you to investigate this matter."

"Who attacked?" Lu Tao asked darkly.

The Sixth Guardian quickly pointed to the side, to the very room that Gu Nan had brought Elise into.

At the same time, he felt a little smug: ‘Even for a noble guest living on the top floor, offending two of the Thirteen Heavens at the same time is still…’

"Are you guys looking for death?!" Unexpectedly, Lu Tao blurted that out as soon as he saw which room it was.

Immediately afterward, he waved his hand with a wretched expression. "Tell your Daoist Heir or whatever to hurry up and get off the ship lest he dies without even knowing how he got killed!"
