Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

"The child of destiny is at the mercy of the fate of Heaven and Earth. As long as he doesn't die, his every move must coincide with Heaven’s will. This matter isn’t so simple,” Feng Xu said with a dark expression. Clearly, his understanding of children of destiny was far superior to the people on Heaven and Earth Star.

Ping Jiushan was unconcerned by this, but just as he was about to speak, a burst of starlight suddenly lit up in the sky.

"So that’s it…"

A light sigh rang in everyone's ears. Ping Jiushan and Guan Sheng didn’t understand the significance and stared at their surroundings in astonishment, but Feng Xu’s expression suddenly changed.

"My Lord, this is…" Ping Jiushan asked.

Feng Xu stared at the sky in a daze and managed to answer with much difficulty, "Someone is breaking through to Void Cutter Realm…"

……

Gu Nan was still transformed into a shadow, hiding in the deepest part of the mountain range.

Feng Xu and his group had passed Gu Nan several times, but he never revealed any sound, as if he’d really become just a shadow.

Gu Nan had always been confident in Hidden Shadow. It had never failed him ever since he transmigrated into this world, except for that one time an old man surnamed Jiang saw through it in the Morningstar Plane.

He wasn’t worried about his own safety, not unless the other party started using a Tier 4 existence to wantonly search for him.

But when the starlight lit up and the sigh echoed in his heart, he knew he couldn't hide any longer.

Not because of this sigh, but because of the notification from the Evil God Temple:

｢Evil Event triggered: Nun—The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara｣

……

Beside the stream, Ye Chen was starstruck as he stared at the girl in front of him, speechless.

His whole life was a life of constant struggle. From a good-for-nothing with no accomplishments to the preeminent King of the Northern Region, his life experience was enough to be adapted into a fantasy novel.

He also had no shortage of women, from childhood friends to royal princesses. Too many, too many girls fell in love with him. However, this was the first time that Ye Chen felt a rush of excitement in his heart.

This girl was like a gift from heaven, flawless and perfect. She immediately entered the depths of Ye Chen's heart.

"W-Why are you looking at me like this…?" The young girl lowered her head, blushing, and two red spots appeared on her cheeks.

However, a burst of hurried footsteps traveled over at this time. A group of people from the Underworld Ocean Dao Hall arrived and surrounded the two in the blink of an eye.

The leader said excitedly, "Ye Chen, you have nowhere to run now. Surrender immediately!"

Ye Chen stood up slowly, protecting the girl behind him, and sneered. "Even if a tiger falls, I, Ye Chen, am still not someone that people like you can bully!"

After all, he was still the King of the Northern Region. Faced with Ye Chen's resolute words, no one dared to come forward to fight him.

Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly. He suddenly slung the girl over his shoulder and tried to break through the encirclement.

"Damn it, he was bluffing!" The leader immediately reacted and ordered in a fluster, "Run! After him!"

Ye Chen revealed a contemptuous smile as he ran away with the girl on his shoulder.

‘If these fools can actually trap me, then I’d be too… Huh?’

Three figures blocked his way. Among them, Ping Jiushan had a sneer on his face.

But Feng Xu ignored him. His gaze was fixed on the girl on Ye Chen's shoulder, mumbling, "Buddha…"

Ye Chen’s expression immediately turned ashen when he was suddenly stopped by the three people. He naturally recognized Feng Xu. ‘It was hard to fend him off even in my heyday, so my current chances are even slimmer.’

With this delay, the pursuers behind him caught up, and the closest pursuer had already swung his blade down.

"Ahh!"

The girl immediately screamed, but a strange event occurred at this moment.

A ray of golden light began to shine from her forehead, and the blade swinging down crumbled into dust, while the golden light became more and more intense, brightening until it was so harsh that no one dared to stare at it.

If someone took another glance right now, they’d find a “卍[1]” symbol on her forehead.

A token slowly flew out from Feng Xu’s clothes, conjuring up a projection that was covered in armor resembling a navy uniform. It was a projection of the King of the Deep Sea.

“Your Majesty," Feng Xu and the other two greeted respectfully after hurriedly getting down on one knee.

"The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samara awakens after 9,000 reincarnations." The King of the Deep Sea sighed. "I didn't expect for this aphorism to be used here."

Then he looked up at the distant sky, his face expressionless under his armor.

"Heavenly Mystery? So it was you again."

"Waking up the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara early—you even dared to do this kind of thing that cuts off someone’s future?" The King of the Deep Sea’s voice seemed to contain a smile, as if he was gloating at someone’s misfortune.

Feng Xu quickly asked when he saw the King of the Deep Sea, "Your Majesty, that Gu Nan may be hiding in this mountain range."

"That little friend? He’s indeed in the mountain range, and he’s actually right here." The King of the Deep Sea nodded lightly. His power far exceeded Prodigious Realm, so Gu Nan naturally couldn’t deceive him.

Some sort of strange force slowly descended, and a shadow suddenly had nowhere to hide, revealing Gu Nan's figure.

Gu Nan's expression looked a little helpless. This wasn’t his fault at all. Who would’ve thought that something so inexplicable would happen and cause the King of the Deep Sea to appear?

But he was also much calmer now. He’d already personally met a Star Ruler whose actual realm might far surpass Tier 5. Would he still be concerned about a mere Tier 4?

Moreover, he wasn’t completely out of escape options. It's just that with the current situation, he was actually in no hurry to leave.

His gaze fell on the girl who was suspended in the air, with more and more Buddhist symbols floating around her.

This Evil Event was his best chance to step into Tier 4.

The power of the King of the Deep Sea had completely locked onto him, sealing all his laws. Gu Nan couldn’t resist at all when confronting a Tier 4 existence directly. He couldn’t utilize any of his laws right now.

He only had one shot at this.

As the girl's golden glow lit up more and more, Ye Chen's gaze also became more and more intoxicated, as though a certain power was drawing him to the girl.

The next moment, the girl suddenly opened her eyes.

"Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one" —Although there was no sound, such a sentence abruptly popped up in the hearts of everyone present.

The girl's eyes were full of indifference, as if she was gazing down from an endless height, overlooking all sentient beings.

She raised her hand to the sky, and the clouds split in two instantly. A purplish-black cloud was already floating above her head.

On the other hand, the golden light surrounding the girl gradually converged and landed on the earth at her feet.

Purple and gold; Heaven and Earth.

"To become a Buddha with a single thought or to become a demon with a single thought. Buddhist Ancestor, please choose,” a voice seemed to come from the horizon as a figure slowly walked out from there.

It was precisely the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord.

But he was no longer dressed like a scholar. His folding fan and silk scarf had all been tossed aside. Instead, he looked like a Daoist priest, wearing blue Daoist robes.

After saying that, he didn't look at the girl anymore but bowed to the King of the Deep Sea and said, "I greet Your Majesty."

The King of the Deep Sea was noncommittal and just commented, "To forcibly awaken the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara—who has yet to complete all 10,000 reincarnations—using an entire region’s force of destiny. What a cunning strategy!"

"I don’t dare claim the credit." However, the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord just smiled. He turned to Gu Nan and saluted the same way. "Daoist Friend Gu, we meet again."

Gu Nan couldn’t make any expression right now, so he simply didn’t say anything at all and rolled his eyes in response.

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord didn’t mind either. He asked the King of the Deep Sea another question, "I heard that Your Majesty once had a connection with the Buddhist Realm. What choice does Your Majesty think the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samara will make?"

"The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara will become a true Buddha after 10,000 reincarnations. Even if it has only been 9,000 reincarnations so far, it’s still not far from the goal," the King of the Deep Sea remarked lightly.

As if to confirm his words, the girl's body in midair shone. Her left side shone gold while her right side shone purple. The two colors were fighting each other.

However, it didn't take long for the golden light to start getting the upper hand. It began to push the purple light into a corner.

Wherever the purple light went, the girl's body began to burst into bloody holes one after another, and blood flowed down endlessly, while the girl's expression was always indifferent.

"It will fail." However, the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord chuckled lightly. "If the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara will become a true Buddha after 10,000 reincarnations but awakens after only 9,000 reincarnations, then true Buddhahood will naturally be out of reach."

After saying that, he then glanced at Gu Nan again. "Daoist Friend Gu, what do you think?"

The King of the Deep Sea frowned slightly. The fact that the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord asked the same question twice seemed to make him realize something, and he slammed his palm down without even thinking. The terrifying power descended directly upon Gu Nan's head.

He only needed to leave Gu Nan barely alive in order to force the whereabouts of the Godstone out of him, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t harm Gu Nan.

Gu Nan looked at the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord’s smile, then sensed the power from the girl in the air, and also revealed a grin.

The next instant, he had already appeared in the air right behind the girl.

His power of law had been completely sealed, but Gu Nan still had skills and still had Blink, which could break through all seals!

The King of the Deep Sea’s expression suddenly changed underneath his armor. The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara hadn’t fully awakened yet and hadn’t recovered her peak power yet. Gu Nan was forcing her to make an immediate choice!

The King of the Deep Sea stretched out his hand to strike Gu Nan, but Gu Nan was even faster. Holding the sword of shadow in his hand, Gu Nan looked at the bloody holes on the girl's body and used a skill without hesitation.

Righteous Judgment!
