Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Gu Nan was a little surprised at Roman’s explanation, but then he came back to his senses.

The horizons of Void Cutter experts were no longer limited to one realm or world. Rather, they surveyed the overall situation in the Myriad Heavens Universe. This was especially true for Roman, a powerful figure living in Zi Luo Heaven.

News of Zuo Zuo's invasion into Star Realm might be able to remain a secret at first, but as time went on, it was almost inevitable that the news would leak.

Be it the actions of his subordinates or his arrangements in Star Realm, they were bound to be discovered over time.

Not to mention that Red never had any intention of hiding this matter.

As long as the public was kept in the dark at the beginning, as time dragged on, the target of those who wanted to profit from someone else’s misfortune would shift—since the two sides were at a standstill, of course Nirvana Heaven was way more tempting of a target than Star Realm!

Although Star Realm was also considered a large plane, there was still a gap between it and Nirvana Heaven, one of the strongest planes under the Thirteen Heavens.

Zi Luo Heaven, inside a station belonging to the Seven Stars League.

"Please wait for a short while. The organization will send someone to review your application right away." A young girl led Gu Nan into the hall, then saluted respectfully.

Gu Nan just nodded wordlessly. At this time, he had arrived at the Seven Stars League to apply for temporary participation in the counterattack against Nirvana Heaven.

Borrowing the strength of an organization was essential. If Gu Nan searched for the life-death stone by himself in a vast plane like Nirvana Heaven, he might not even see a trace of it after searching for a year.

It was much more convenient to have the Seven Stars League determine the location of the life-death stone first, and then plunder it.

The so-called "review" was naturally the Seven Stars League’s internal assessment—they were planning to invade a major "Heaven” Level plane on this trip, so of course the team members must be very carefully selected.

Gu Nan sat for a while. The people from Seven Stars League hadn’t arrived yet, but the girl brought another person in.

This was a teen who looked a little shy. To come here now of all times—he probably also had the same goal as Gu Nan.

The girl guide soon left, leaving only Gu Nan and the boy in the hall. The latter didn't seem too comfortable with this atmosphere and couldn’t help taking the initiative to greet Gu Nan.

"Hello, my name is Lou Wanying," the boy stood up and introduced himself, his face still a little nervous.

Gu Nan raised his head, glanced at this boy whose name was somewhat feminine, and nodded. "Gu Nan."

Lou Wanying seemed to relax a little and smiled. "Did Your Excellency Gu Nan also come for Nirvana Heaven? Maybe we can become teammates!"

His demeanor still seemed a little childlike, but Gu Nan didn’t see anything strange about it—if he was a Void Cutter cultivator who grew up in a plane like Zi Luo Heaven and lived a smooth-sailing life, then such a thing wasn’t impossible.

The two didn’t have a chance to deepen their conversation, because a man and a woman were already briskly walking over from a distance, both wearing the uniform of the Seven Stars League.

"Apologies, we’ve kept you waiting,” the woman spoke first as soon as they reached Gu Nan and Lou Wanying.

"No no, I also just arrived." Lou Wanying hurriedly waved his hands, suddenly exposing his naive nature.

But the woman didn’t mind. She first gave her name, followed by a brief introduction of their team.

The woman was named Jiang Tingwei, and beside her was her younger brother Jiang Zheng. Besides the two of them, their team also had another permanent member.

For small teams entering a large plane, the most optimal number of teammates was three to five people. However, because of Nirvana Heaven’s dangerous reputation, they hoped to recruit one or two more temporary members.

"I will need to test your strength. This is also because we are responsible for the safety of the team’s other members. Please forgive me." Jiang Tingwei had a standard smile on her face. Although it didn't make people feel closer to her, it also didn’t make them dislike her.

Lou Wanying nodded vigorously. "Of course… Will the test be right here?"

Jiang Tingwei was about to nod when she heard some clamor outside, and two people immediately rushed in. The woman who had led the way before was following in a panic.

"Mr. Xu, you can't go in! Mr. Xu…"

“Xu Yan?” Jiang Tingwei looked over with a frown. This person could also be considered an acquaintance of hers, but she normally didn’t have many interactions with him. She didn't expect him to barge in here today.

The girl behind Xu Yan stepped back upon Jiang Tingwei's signal, but Xu Yan immediately announced, "Big Sis Jiang, today I'm here to present you with a good teammate!"

As he spoke, he patted the man in black beside him. "This is my brother, you can call him 'Black Hawk.' His strength is absolutely not weak! It just so happens that our team has no intention of entering Nirvana Heaven, so you guys lucked out!"

The fact that Jiang Tingwei's team intended to enter Nirvana Heaven wasn’t a secret within the Seven Stars League.

"First come, first served." Jiang Tingwei frowned. She pointed to Gu Nan and Lou Wanying and said calmly, "We only need two people. If they are unqualified, then I’ll consider your friend."

Xu Yan already knew that Jiang Tingwei was very principled, so he was unconcerned. Instead, he turned to size up Gu Nan and Lou Wanying.

Three people, two spots. He just had to squeeze out one of these two.

The man known as "Black Hawk" was expressionless, but his gaze very obviously fell on Lou Wanying, and Xu Yan beside him immediately got the message.

Gu Nan was dressed in plain clothes, and he couldn’t see the least bit of energy fluctuations from Gu Nan.

‘But how can anyone who can stand here be an ordinary person? I can tell at first glance that he’ll be hard to deal with.’

In contrast, the more naive Lou Wanying was clearly a more appropriate target.

So Xu Yan said with a smile, "We cultivators ultimately talk with our fists. Why don't we have a match between Black Hawk and this little brother?"

He naturally said this to Lou Wanying, who didn't even think about it and immediately agreed, "Okay!"

Lou Wanying’s extremely decisive response caught Xu Yan slightly off guard, actually making him less certain of his choice.

Being naive only meant the person was inexperienced, but it didn’t necessarily mean the person was weak. Maybe there was another possibility—Lou Wanying was a core disciple of a certain powerful organization who’d just left the mountain to gain experience!

"Then let’s start," at this time, it was Black Hawk himself who responded.

Of course Xu Yan wouldn’t object again after seeing Black Hawk personally speak up. He just looked over at Jiang Tingwei with a chuckle. "They both consented to the match. Big Sis Jiang won't intervene, will she?"

Jiang Tingwei was still frowning. She would’ve preferred for Lou Wanying to stay out of trouble, but this was somebody else's choice and she couldn’t intervene, so she was forced to nod.

So everyone backed off, leaving room for Black Hawk and Lou Wanying—it was just a simple match, not a duel to the death, so they weren’t worried that it would make too much noise.

Before the match could start, Xu Yan’s expression changed slightly, as if he’d received a message, and he walked up to Black Hawk's side.

"My people discovered some information." He whispered to Black Hawk, "This person’s name is Lou Wanying, and there’s no information on him. He’s probably the core disciple of a powerful organization."

For these people, no information itself was a kind of information, which could reveal many problems.

Black Hawk nodded silently. "What about the other one?"

"His name is Gu Nan, and he lives in a public area. He should be from a small plane." Xu Yan said quickly, "If you can't defeat Lou Wanying, you can change your target and challenge him instead."

"Okay." Black Hawk's eyes flickered, and it seemed that he was more confident.
