Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Gu Nan stood in the Tang family’s lobby, feeling a little strange.

It was indeed unexpected that Lan Si would be seriously injured. Or rather, it never occurred to him that an NPC would court death to the point of being killed.

But when he thought about it, Lan Si’s personality was indeed like that.

At the beginning, when they were fighting proxy battles on Heavenly Enterprise Star, she might’ve died at Qin Xuanji’s hands if her brother didn’t intervene.

Gu Nan shook his head humorously. Fortunately, she had the Godstone… As the carrier of the Godstone, she couldn't even commit suicide, let alone be killed.

Suffering a serious blow this time may even help her mature.

"Where is she?" Gu Nan asked casually.

Tang Xuan, who was standing in front of him, showed a bitter smile. She knew the end result when Gu Nan made a scene in front of the Tang family back then. Now that something happened to Lan Si, it was hard to predict what Gu Nan would do.

"Her condition isn’t very good. The doctor said…"

"It's fine, she won’t die." Gu Nan waved his hand.

Tang Ziquan followed Tang Xuan, and when he saw Gu Nan's confident expression, his mouth showed a little sneer, but he didn’t speak.

Moments later, Gu Nan was in front of Lan Si's bed. The latter’s face was extremely pale, and even her breathing was weak.

‘The Godstone wasn’t triggered? Is the injury not heavy enough…?’

Gu Nan only took one look and already knew the reason why Lan Si was in a coma.

She suffered an injury to the brain, so she couldn't wake up, but the injury itself wasn't serious, so the Godstone didn't come out and heal her.

In the game’s terms, Lan Si was hit by a crowd control skill but didn’t lose too much HP.

But in reality, even if it was only a minor injury, once it damaged a vital spot, it was still enough to cause serious consequences.

Tang Xuan looked at his thoughtful silence and couldn't help saying, "She's just in a coma now. It's better to…"

"No matter," Gu Nan spat out the two words lightly, and a small black dagger appeared in his hand.

The dagger sank into Lan Si's heart, causing blood to splash out. Tang Xuan and Tang Ziquan, together with Red Tail who came along with him, suddenly looked dumbfounded.

Even Red Tail, who figured that Gu Nan would be able to cure Lan Si, didn't expect him to do it this way.

The next second, a golden light lit up on Lan Si's forehead, and an indescribably sublime aura flashed by. By the time the light disappeared, the wounds on her body had all healed.

"She’ll wake up later." Gu Nan looked at Red Tail. "What happened to her?"

"There are traces of destiny at work," Red Tail answered with a dark expression.

Ever since Gu Nan heard about Lan Si’s situation in the palace, he first asked about the events that led up to it.

It was a simple matter. Lan Si was ordered to set up the shell organization "Blue Lake." She had never been the leader of any organization before, so she could only seek help from Red Tail while cooperating with others to develop the organization.

She had no roots on Heaven and Earth Star, so naturally she was completely blind. In the end, she could only ask the Tang family for help—at least she knew them.

The Tang family knew that Gu Nan was backing Lan Si, so they were happy to help, but the result of cooperation wasn’t too good.

But what surprised Gu Nan the most was the person who wounded Lan Si.

This person was called Ye Long. He was born in the Northern Region and was precisely the younger brother of Ye Chen, the King of the Northern Region. This Ye Long was also a famous child of destiny on the continent.

But such a child of destiny wouldn’t easily form a connection with other experts. Moreover, a karmic connection would only be formed if Ye Long was guided along by the force of destiny.

As the initial user of the forces of fate and destiny, White Mist was very certain of this.

For example, the previous feud between Gu Nan and Lin Tian first happened through Fu Jing. Through her, the force of destiny naturally fell onto Gu Nan.

"No prior karmic connections were found on Lan Si. The force of destiny descended upon her directly, without any warning… This is the work of Heavenly Mystery," Red Tail explained expressionlessly.

"Good." Gu Nan revealed a small sneer. He didn’t kill the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord back then, but who would’ve thought this person would still dare to scamper about and cause mischief?

After a pause, Gu Nan added, "The net we’ve cast over Heaven and Earth Star can be pulled up now; you can start hunting the children of destiny… Can you guys handle that Ye Chen?"

"No problem. This is what we’re good at," Red Tail replied with a chuckle. "Regarding Heavenly Mystery…"

White Mist’s translation method depended on collecting the fate of children of destiny, so they naturally developed many methods to deal with the children of destiny. White Mist’s methods weren’t half-baked like those of the six great Dao Lords.

The six Dao Lords only learned how to set up the net but didn't learn how to pull up the net, which was why things ended up spiraling out of control.

The two spoke as if Tang Xuan and Tang Ziquan beside them didn’t exist.

Tang Xuan had long since gotten used to Gu Nan's atrocious character, but Tang Ziquan’s eyes looked slightly dark as he said, "You two are talking about Ye Chen, the King of the Northern Region? Just yesterday, three Dao Lords fell at his hands!"

After breaking through to the Dao Lord level, Ye Chen spent decades recuperating and building up the Northern Region like an iron barrel. Right now, he finally embarked on the road of outward expansion.

His move was thunderous, and in a very short time, the Northern Region’s army took over cities and seized territories everywhere.

The reason Lan Si was injured by Ye Long was because they were fighting over a resource.

In response to Tang Ziquan's words, Red Tail just glanced at him apathetically, then smiled slightly and didn't speak. Gu Nan, on the other hand, completely ignored him.

"I'll leave this side to you. When she wakes up, have her return to the organization to cultivate. I'm going to have a chat with Heavenly Mystery."

After leaving such a sentence, Gu Nan's figure suddenly disappeared.

……

Gu Nan was actually reluctant to waste time on Heaven and Earth Star now that he had a personal dungeon.

He only ever took action for Evil Value and points, and at most, he was temporarily a little more careful after catching the attention of a Tier 4 expert.

Reincarnation was in cooldown, Evil Value was being continuously provided by Lan Si, and earning points depended on the personal dungeon.

Knowing that the King of the Deep Sea had returned, coupled with this incident, Gu Nan decided to have Lan Si hide away first—even Heavenly Mystery was aware of Lan Si’s existence. Who can say that the King of the Deep Sea won’t notice her?

If Lan Si was caught by the King of the Deep Sea before Gu Nan could rise to Tier 4, the losses would far outweigh the gains.

As he thought that, Gu Nan had arrived at the Heavenly Mystery Dao Hall.

This time he didn't arrive using the starship but flew up directly with his own strength. So as soon as he arrived at the main gates, someone immediately came to stop him.

"Sir, who are you? If you want to enter my Heavenly Mystery Dao Hall, please report your surna—"

A sword of shadow cut through the air with a black light, and several guards’ bodies had already been sliced in half. Gu Nan’s expression didn’t even change at all.

He controlled White Mist, so he naturally knew that interfering in destiny required the support of an organization. It was very troublesome for a single person to control it alone. So even if he couldn’t kill Heavenly Mystery this time, Gu Nan still had to slaughter everyone in his Dao Hall.

If Heavenly Mystery was the only person left, he’d naturally have no way of interfering with fate anymore.

Gu Nan walked slowly into the Dao Hall, and when he passed their corpses, he also told a not-so-funny joke, "My surname is Gu."
