Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Fu Yong's face was full of smugness. Although it wasn’t his idea to make Gu Nan and Lin Tian fight each other, he still felt quite proud right now.

He also witnessed Lin Tian’s final blow. ‘No matter how strong Gu Nan is, how can he not be hurt after taking that punch?’

They only needed three Dao Lords to defeat peak-strength Lin Tian, so now that an injured Gu Nan was facing all six of them, how could he resist at all?

Fu Jing, who had collapsed to the side, seemed like she saw her savior and immediately rushed over. "Daddy… Daddy, I’ll definitely listen to you from now on…"

She hugged Fu Yong's arm. Her face was full of joy from the new lease on life she’d just gotten.

"Hmph, you unruly girl… Now you remember to look for your father?" Fu Yong snorted softly. Although his words were harsh, his hand pushed her behind him protectively.

After all, she was still his daughter, and Fu Yong couldn’t bear to see anything happen to her.

At this time, Gu Nan had already given Lin Tian’s severed arm and his completely sealed body to Lan Si, while he himself walked forward, holding a bloody blade.

His destination was naturally the six great Dao Lords.

Fu Yong’s expression couldn’t help darkening when he saw Gu Nan approach slowly with a blade that still glowed crimson.

"Does Mr. Gu truly intend to make an enemy of us?" Fu Yong asked in a low voice. He mistakenly believed that Gu Nan didn't understand his situation yet. "Forget it. Let this old man give some introductions to Mr. Gu. This one is the Dragon Phoenix Dao Lord, and this is…"

As soon as Fu Yong pointed to the Dragon Phoenix Dao Lord, Gu Nan suddenly raised his blade and split into six shadowy figures, each making the same slashing motion.

"You…" Fu Yong glared angrily, but he wasn’t known as a swordmaster for nothing. At this critical juncture, he drew his sword from his waist and tried to block the attack.

But he never could’ve imagined that Gu Nan would have an unparalleled advantage in fighting Dao Lords like him who specialized in frontal assaults.

The max Tier 3 experience bar from the Evil God Temple gave him strength that was at the very peak of Tier 3, while Blade of the Sanguine King also brought him extremely high attack power.

Although it might be hard to kill experts with strange abilities like the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord in one blow, people like Lin Tian and Fu Yong were Gu Nan’s favorite type of enemies.

Under the scarlet glow, Fu Yong's sword broke cleanly into two pieces, only managing to block Blade of the Sanguine King for a single instant.

Fu Yong, this distinguished swordmaster, didn’t even have time to grunt in pain as both his sword and his body were cut in half.

A split second later, Gu Nan's figure turned pitch-black, while the shadow doppelganger next to him turned into Gu Nan—this process was repeated many times until all six slashes were made by Gu Nan himself.

After the dazzling "six attacks with one slash", Gu Nan stood still again, but he didn't feel any mental strain from carrying out the attack.

‘Is it because my soul was also strengthened in this world, which in turn strengthened my mind? After all, it was just a virtual reality game in my past life, so the players’ minds were merely at the level of ordinary people.’

Gu Nan rubbed his chin thoughtfully as five bisected corpses slowly fell onto the ground in front of him.

Among the six Dao Lords, only the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord remained standing in his original spot. His face didn’t even show any surprise, as if everything was within his expectations.

Gu Nan didn't even look at the five corpses—precisely as Red Tail said, with the exception of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord, the rest of the six great Dao Lords were worthless.

They had grown complacent after being immersed in a comfortable environment for too long. Except for Fu Yong, the rest of them weren’t even able to react to Gu Nan's strike.

Even Fu Yong was barely able to draw his sword, so he couldn't escape the fate of dying either.

This was also one of the reasons why agility-type Evil Gods pursued ultimate speed. No matter how strong someone was or how high their realm was, they might still be killed in a single blow as soon as they let down their guard.

Clap…Clap…Clap

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord clapped his hands lightly, the folding fan making a distinctive sound as it hit his hand.

"You’re able to slaughter Dao Lords as easily as butchering pigs at the tender age of 19. Looks like it won't be long before the Starry Ocean Pavilion sends you a star seal," he said thus to Gu Nan.

Gu Nan had heard of the Starry Ocean Pavilion’s star seal before.

As the largest public organization in the Central Region, not only did the Starry Ocean Pavilion control the Star Ranking, it also sent membership invitations to all Void Cutter cultivators in Star Realm.

And their invitation letter was precisely a star seal made of special materials.

Gu Nan was too lazy to continue this conversation. It was obvious that the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord paid him a visit because he wanted to send the five other Dao Lords to their deaths, and Gu Nan also didn't mind giving them the fatal blow.

"Let’s go." He patted Lan Si on the shoulder, and Lan Si, who looked like she’d just woken from a dream, hurriedly followed him.

"Wait…" A low voice rang out—it was Fu Jing, whose face was ashen.

She walked a few steps up to Gu Nan, her expression changing several times. Finally, she said through gritted teeth, "You killed Lin Tian and my father, so why didn’t you also kill m—"

Crimson light flashed. Gu Nan casually swung Blade of the Sanguine King, which he hadn’t put away yet, and sent Fu Jing’s head flying.

Naturally, Gu Nan didn’t mind respecting the wishes of NPCs begging to die.

……

Deep inside White Mist, Gu Nan stood quietly in the throne room, watching the scene below with great interest.

It had been three days since Lin Tian’s capture. Gu Nan had been making preparations as soon as he returned to White Mist and also learned how to create the mist mirrors.

As for how the five Dao Lords’ deaths caused an uproar on the continent or what the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord’s true purpose was, Gu Nan didn’t want to care about any of that.

NPCs’ goals were never something players had to care about; they only needed to care about their own missions.

Lin Tian was still enveloped in shadows, and the nine golden dragons in his body could only crouch in a corner obediently, not daring to move in the face of Gu Nan’s law of shadows.

"This is the array used to sacrifice a child of destiny’s accumulated fate," Red Tail drew a very tedious array, then wiped her forehead and explained.

Things related to fate and destiny were indeed extremely complex. Not only was the array itself complicated, but it also required a large amount of supporting ingredients.

Fortunately, they were doing this inside White Mist. Otherwise, it would’ve been a hassle for Gu Nan to collect all the materials himself.

Perhaps Red Tail also wanted to take this opportunity to show Gu Nan the value of White Mist and herself. Otherwise, based on her understanding of Gu Nan, he might just abandon White Mist at any time.

And Red Tail actually guessed right. It was precisely the tedious process of making the mirrors and the difficulty of collecting and processing raw materials that made Gu Nan determined to completely control White Mist and operate it as his organization.

"Starting tomorrow, set up a shell organization on the mainland. This will be White Mist’s public front," Gu Nan said to Red Tail beside him. "Don't put too many of our own people in there. If necessary, this shell organization can be discarded like a disposable glove."

"Yes, my Lord." Red Tail looked at Lin Tian, who was lying quietly inside the array, and smiled.

Gu Nan then told Lan Si, "You will be the leader of the shell organization."

"Ah?! I… I've never done such a thing…" Lan Si suddenly couldn't even speak coherently. She didn't expect that there would be a task for her.

"You’ll be the one handling all such matters in the future." Gu Nan was all smiles as he patted her on the head.

As an apostle, she’d have to learn to be sanctimonious and dignified sooner or later, so she might as well get used to this earlier.
