Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Both in terms of her own circumstances and external opportunities, Yan Xiaoxiao had the opportunity to go far in life.

The more complex the law, the easier it was to advance to Tier 4, and her own law of permeation was undoubtedly one such law.

Moreover, she temporarily reached Tier 4 in the earlier battle by borrowing Xue Yan’s power, which was a precious experience that normal people couldn’t even dream of.

Just how useful was that Tier 4 experience? Its usefulness could be seen from how she entered Domain Stage directly in two short months.

So from all angles, Yan Xiaoxiao would be a good administrator for the Divine Kingdom. All she lacked was mentality.

As for mentality, that could be trained.

Gu Nan really was too skilled at slaughtering people’s entire families. In just a few minutes, all of Azure Dragon Hall’s top officials became his shadow servants; none escaped.

Gu Nan needed the first batch of manpower to assist Yan Xiaoxiao in controlling the Divine Kingdom.

In terms of both their strength and their influence on Yan Xiaoxiao, the people in Azure Dragon Hall were better off dead than alive—Gu Nan could still afford this magnitude of loss to his Divine Kingdom.

When these people lined up neatly and stood in front of him, Gu Nan said to Yan Xiaoxiao, "They’ll be your team. I don't want to see any living people in the wild three months from now."

……

Just as Gu Nan started managing his Divine Kingdom, Red Tail and Lan Si on Heaven and Earth Star were trying various ways to contact him.

"Still a failure. Immortal Demon World’s coordinates haven't changed, but all reincarnation attempts have failed. It’s as if that plane has been sealed off," Red Tail’s face was a little dark as she said that.

The inspection team from Starry Ocean Pavilion was arriving soon. Things would be troublesome if she still couldn’t manage to contact Gu Nan by the time they arrived.

For her, it didn’t matter whether Gu Nan chose to obey Starry Ocean Pavilion or turn against them. In any case, Starry Ocean Pavilion wouldn't trouble an insignificant character like her.

However, with Gu Nan away, the pressure to decide fell onto her.

If she chose to resist, Starry Ocean Pavilion would immediately teach her what power means; and if she chose to obey, who can guarantee that Gu Nan won't blame her when he returns?

"How long until they arrive?" Lan Si was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

She tried to use the dagger and Godhead left by Gu Nan, but all the messages she sent were like pebbles sinking into the sea; she didn't receive any response at all. It was as if Gu Nan had vanished into thin air.

If not for the fact that she could still use the black dagger, she would’ve truly believed that Gu Nan had died in Immortal Demon World.

"Half a month at most." Red Tail said in a heavy voice, "Starry Ocean Pavilion has always been swift and decisive, and their Void Cutter cultivators are even more so."

Void Cutter cultivators were all very busy, and they were only helping Starry Ocean Pavilion because they were forced to. Otherwise, they’d never willingly handle such a trifling matter.

Lan Si’s expression didn’t look too good either. The past her would never have imagined that Starry Ocean Pavilion would do something like this—after all, forcing all Prodigious cultivators to register themselves was just too inconceivable.

How many cultivators were hidden amongst the people and even in space?

Not every region was like Heaven and Earth Star, where all the cultivators were concentrated on one planet.

For example, many resources in the Ninth Region were in space, so most of its cultivators were in space as well. How would Starry Ocean Pavilion manage these people?

But the current Lan Si understood something—it didn’t matter if they were hard to manage. Everything would work out if Starry Ocean Pavilion simply killed all the dissenters.

Of course it was satisfying when she was the one doing this, but it wasn’t so fun anymore when she was on the receiving end.

"Let’s prepare for the worst." Lan Si gave a small sigh, then turned to leave. What rose in her eyes was a flame that had never appeared before.

When a person had gotten used to being one of the strong but then saw someone far stronger than herself, she would show unimaginable ambition.

And in the past, the only thing Lan Si lacked was ambition.

……

Deep in the starry sky, a starship was traveling between regions. Its huge body gradually appeared in the Sixth Region.

"It hasn’t been long at all. I didn't expect to visit this trashy place so soon again," Zhou Xiaojing muttered as he sat on the starship, chewing on a foxtail grass.

He once visited the Sixth Region together with Xue Yan to distribute a seal to Gu Nan, which left some bad memories.

But this time, he was here on behalf of Starry Ocean Pavilion to supervise all of the Sixth Region’s Prodigious cultivators to travel to the Central Region for registration.

That's why he was on a starship—while Void Cutter cultivators could tear open space to travel, the staff below them couldn’t.

"I heard that Luo Jie and Luo Fei were killed, and now the Sixth Region has changed hands?" A person next to him asked upon seeing Zhou Xiaojing’s expression.

This person was also a young man. He wore a round red hat and looked unremarkable.

But to be able to talk to Zhou Xiaojing like this, his identity went without saying—this was another Void Cutter powerhouse!

"Mm, a person named Gu Nan. Just entered Void Cutter Realm," Zhou Xiaojing answered casually, then added, "He’s a psycho."

"Oh? Then he’s not easy to deal with?" The young man in a red hat became interested and sat up.

With his understanding of Zhou Xiaojing, only a strong opponent could garner such an evaluation from him. Weaklings didn’t need any evaluation at all.

Zhou Xiaojing shook his head and didn’t elaborate. He just said, "Just take a look at the information. The King of the Deep Sea lost to him, and that Buddhist Ancestor is also said to have fought with him.”

With Starry Ocean Pavilion’s ability, the details of the battle on Heaven and Earth Star naturally couldn’t be hidden from them.

Before sending out the inspection team, all information regarding the Sixth Region was also presented to the team.

Of course, it was another matter entirely whether these high-and-mighty Void Cutter experts would be interested in reading the information that those at the bottom put their lives on the line to collect.

After hearing Zhou Xiaojing's response, Wang He, the young man in a red hat, finally changed his expression slightly.

The King of the Deep Sea was nothing. He merely lived longer than most. After entering Void Cutter Realm, bloodline users no longer had much of an advantage over regular cultivators.

What really moved Wang He was "that Buddhist Ancestor."

The young girl Wu Gui wreaked havoc in Starry Ocean Pavilion and even killed the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord right in front of a Pavilion Lord. This also caused quite a stir inside Starry Ocean Pavilion.

Many people even believed that the reason for their comprehensive action was because the Pavilion was furious over this matter.

Registering all Prodigious cultivators was obviously a precursor to a grander plan, and it wouldn’t be as simple as just registering everyone.

"The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara awakened in the Sixth Region. Could Gu Nan have something to do with that?" Wang He asked in a low voice.

Zhou Xiaojing was taken aback and suddenly felt that it really was possible. Heavenly Mystery hadn’t been killed yet when he first visited the Sixth Region, so he didn’t make the connection between Wu Gui and Gu Nan at all.

Now that Wang He mentioned it, that question instantly broke through a blind spot in his thinking.

"It seems that we really need to properly investigate this Gu Nan." Zhou Xiaojing's face grew serious.

"Isn't he hard to deal with?"

"That's why this time, the Pavilion sent us… four."
