Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

‘To think a method of limiting one’s realm exists in this world…’

Qian Han, who was in the Apostle Hall, felt like his three views had collapsed.

‘Limit one’s realm… Limit one’s realm!’

Qian Han, who once managed an astral world, immediately realized that if other Star Rulers learned this method, then from then on, all the Void Cutters would become slaves of the Star Rulers.

The reason why Void Cutter cultivators enjoyed high and aloof statuses was precisely because they had the means to protect themselves.

Even if it was a powerful Star Ruler, as long as they didn’t have the ability to seal off space or kill Void Cutters instantly, they might still be unable to stop Void Cutters from escaping.

And once a Void Cutter expert disappeared from their sight, finding them again was by no means an easy task.

But if Star Rulers had the ability to restrict someone’s realm, they could completely suppress all the Void Cutters at Prodigious Realm and make them lose their most critical self-preservation ability!

Just like right now…

Qian Han walked out of the Apostle Hall lifelessly, looking like a dispirited, lonely old man. After losing his Void Cutter power, he could already foresee his own fate.

He would probably be kept inside someone’s astral world as a complete encyclopedia of knowledge until the day the Star Ruler no longer needed his knowledge, and he would be secretly executed like a dog…

In any case, Qian Han would definitely do it this way if he was the Star Ruler.

Gu Nan, however, ignored him. He just called Yan Xiaoxiao over and had her take Qian Han around to familiarize him with the Divine Kingdom’s situation.

He recruited Qian Han as an apostle not only for knowledge like Qian Han believed, but also for Qian Han to manage the Divine Kingdom for him.

Although Yan Xiaoxiao was familiar enough with Immortal Demon World, her knowledge was ultimately still limited to one world, and she also didn’t have a Void Cutter expert’s aloof and detached mentality, so she wasn’t the most suitable "manager."

Moreover, Gu Nan also wouldn’t allow his Divine Kingdom to be under one person’s complete management. If he was worried about betrayal, then he shouldn’t give others the opportunity to betray him. Qian Han's previous words weren’t unreasonable.

In the empty Evil God Temple, Gu Nan stood alone in front of the Apostle Hall, suddenly feeling refreshed.

After coming to this world for so long, he always saw specious things that appeared plausible but were actually wrong. Only the familiar figures from the Apostle Hall in front of him made him feel like everything was under control.

The Apostle Hall didn’t only contain Qian Han’s data. It had detailed data on everyone who became an apostle.

｢Name: Yan Xiaoxiao

Combat Power: 98

Administration: 99

Command: 102

……

Energy: 65

Loyalty: 95 ｣

Yan Xiaoxiao’s information didn’t differ from Gu Nan's expectations. Except for one "Command" stat—which was of little use at present—that was over 100, the rest were below 100.

In Apostle Hall’s data, the maximum value for energy and loyalty were 100 points, and there was no upper limit for the other stats.

However, 100 was a threshold. Once the stat exceeded 100, the calculation algorithm became completely different, and the ability increased almost exponentially.

For example, Yan Xiaoxiao had 98 points in Combat Power, but she could at most fight three 90 point enemies. However, an apostle with a Combat Power of 105 could casually beat ten Yan Xiaoxiao’s.

So don’t be fooled by how Qian Han's Combat Power of 128 was only 30 points higher than Yan Xiaoxiao. In fact, the gap was unimaginably large.

Yan Xiaoxiao's loyalty reached a height of 95 points, so he didn’t need to worry about that for the time being. Instead, her energy was only 65, which showed that the work burden on her recently was a little too heavy, so finding someone to share her burden was a high priority.

Next was Guan Hongchen, Lei Qi, and Lei Ba. They didn’t have any stats that exceeded Gu Nan's expectations, and their loyalty values were all above 80. There was no sign of betrayal for the time being.

Divine Kingdom construction belonged to the base building category of games, and the role of the Apostle Hall was similar to the "hero altar" in some games, while apostles were analogous to the hero generals under the base’s lord.

In fact, after surpassing Level 3, the Apostle Hall could indeed summon apostles directly.

The Apostle Hall could also be used to train apostles, but this role was of little use for the time being—Gu Nan had no money.

……

On the edge of the Myriad Heavens Universe, Gu Nian and Zuo Zuo were still fleeing and giving chase respectively. They were about to leave the Myriad Heavens Universe.

It's just that the present situation had turned into Gu Nian single-heartedly trying to escape while Zuo Zuo constantly pursued her. Their time was running out.

Zuo Zuo's neck wound was still deepening, but he didn’t seem to notice at all and continued pursuing with a cold expression.

In fact, Gu Nian’s earlier sneak attack didn’t give her much of an advantage. At best, she caused some minor injuries to Zuo Zuo, which was far from her goal of "killing the other party."

And after Zuo Zuo freed himself from Red and Ying Ge and only had to fight one Gu Nian, he actually still had a huge advantage, even without the support of Nirvana Heaven.

That body belonged to him in the first place, so he had a far better understanding than the other person; he’d been a Star Ruler for ten thousand years and was incomparably familiar with this level of power; he even had considerable understanding of the other party’s mysterious and unpredictable law…

His only disadvantage right now was that the other party was hell-bent on running away!

"Exactly how long do you plan to keep running?" Zuo Zuo's cold voice rang out again, but Gu Nian didn’t even pause. She continued to jump towards the next plane without looking back.

Zuo Zuo could only suppress his continuously surging negative emotions and carefully chased after her—in the end, Gu Nian’s previous "kill you" still affected him.

Zuo Zuo felt like this was an unlucky year for him.

Originally, with his foundations, that war should’ve been a certain victory for him. His strength was above Red to begin with. Even if someone made trouble in Nirvana Heaven, he could still casually extinguish them.

Only Ying Ge’s appearance truly hit his fatal weak spot, and she even appeared when he was preoccupied using his full power to suppress Red. It was hard to get off after riding a tiger—it was impossible for him to stop halfway, so he was forced to self-destruct his core.

However, Zuo Zuo still wasn’t out of backup plans. He resurrected himself with Gu Nian’s special law, gaining a chance to stake it all on a final battle.

As long as he could get back even a little power from Nirvana Heaven, then it would be a battle of attribution to see whether Wu Gui’s destructive power was stronger or whether Red and the others could manage to survive longer.

But of all things, he just had to run into Gu Nan’s great battle with Jin Wuyin… This was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, crushing all of Zuo Zuo’s plans.

And now that he broke away from Red’s pursuit, he didn’t even have the energy to care about his astral world. He just wanted to get his body back.

However, Gu Nian displayed an attitude of “only one of us will live in this life and death struggle” and refused to communicate with him at all. If this continued, he might actually become the first Star Ruler in history to self-destruct.

Zuo Zuo suppressed all emotions and stepped into the crack in space, prepared for a possible ambush. Although Gu Nian had never done such a thing before, no one knew if she was deliberately lulling him into lowering his guard.

To his surprise, this time Gu Nian didn't actually continue to flee.

"We’re here." Gu Nian chuckled slightly, but it looked somewhat bizarre when it was done with only half of a body.

Zuo Zuo frowned slightly and looked around, but he found nothing out of the ordinary. This was a normal small world. Perhaps it had some special laws, but wasn’t she thinking too highly of herself if she wanted to beat him with just that?

Zuo Zuo didn’t feel like any advantage could offset the gap in experience and knowledge between himself and her.

"I've experienced hundreds of reincarnations before. I found this place accidentally." Gu Nian said slowly, "I didn't understand what was here at that time, and it wasn’t until I left Star Realm later on that I finally found some clues…"

Before she could finish, Zuo Zuo's expression changed slightly, because he saw Gu Nian casually throw a beam of light at the ground.

With this light beam, this world erupted like an enraged lion. Countless laws surged wildly towards Gu Nian’s body, and Zuo Zuo, who was right beside her, naturally couldn’t escape either.

The innumerable laws wrapped around each of the two separately like two giant eggshells and quickly dragged them into the ground.

"To think there’s still an undiscovered black hole plane… You lunatic!"

But Gu Nian's crazy laughter just came from the front. "See you in a thousand years, Lord Zuo Zuo!"
