Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Gu Nan leisurely sat in his courtyard in Zi Luo Heaven, basking in the sun and flipping through a newspaper.

That’s right, newspaper.

This newspaper called "Myriad Heavens Daily" published stories on the daily events, big or small, that happened in the Myriad Heavens Universe. As for its legitimacy and credibility, one could tell by reading its name.

To be able to claim such an eye-catching name without being swallowed up by bigger organizations, the newspaper company’s background must clearly be extraordinary.

In today's Myriad Heavens Daily, the great war between Nirvana Heaven and Star Realm occupied the front page.

The war between two astral worlds that could be considered major planes was an event one might not even encounter in ten thousand years. Now that it finally came to an end after several years, of course a detailed account would be given.

From the beginning of Zuo Zuo and Red’s history with each other all the way until the final decisive battle between them, the newspaper dug up many details. Ying Ge and Gu Nian both appeared in the article, and even Gu Nan was mentioned.

"I thought it was a war not many people knew about; I didn't expect the entire world to be paying attention." Gu Nan’s mouth curled into a smile, feeling quite strange in his heart.

The longer he stayed in Zi Luo Heaven, the more he felt that “it was a small world.”

As one of the major planes, Zi Luo Heaven was also a prominent plane open to the public. A lot of information would be concentrated here, so its residents could see the whole world without ever setting foot outside their homes.

Like the decisive battle between Red and Zuo Zuo, for example. In the eyes of the parties involved, it might as well be the end of the world, but in the Myriad Heavens Universe, it was just the topic of idle conversation during teatime.

And powerhouses with the ability to intervene in this war wouldn’t foolishly assume more risk by entering the fray before a winner was decided—they could simply wait for the dust to settle and then carve up the loser's territory.

In any case, the winner would definitely be greatly weakened by that time. How much strength would the winner still have left to fight over a piece of the pie?

Therefore, wars between astral worlds really weren’t worth the cost. If they weren’t absolutely certain of victory, Star Rulers wouldn’t casually start wars on such a scale.

After reading the content of the daily newspaper, Gu Nan not only understood the origins of Zuo Zuo and Red, but he also saw all the twists and turns of the final decisive battle.

"So Zuo Zuo's trump card was actually Gu Nian…" Gu Nan couldn't help laughing involuntarily. He really wanted to tell Zuo Zuo that this woman who’d been his sister for a short while was a real poisonous snake.

Anyone who dared to use her should be prepared to be bitten back at any time.

As for Zuo Zuo’s current situation, there was no mention in the daily newspaper, only that it was still under investigation.

The daily newspaper mentioned Gu Nian’s special law, the relationship between Ying Ge and Zuo Zuo, and, of course, the “Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon” in Nirvana Heaven.

This was probably the first time that Gu Nan entered the eyes of all major forces in the Myriad Heavens Universe with the identity of a Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon.

News of a Heavenly Demon's appearance attracted a lot of attention. No one believed that this Heavenly Demon just happened to be passing by. Instead, they preferred to regard him as Red’s trump card.

……

"So he’s a Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon."

Jiang Tingwei placed her newspaper down and said suddenly from inside the Seven Stars League.

No wonder he had such immense physical strength… The Myriad Heavens Daily also unearthed many details about Gu Nan, this Heavenly Demon. From the time he first became famous in Star Realm, many details were written on the front page.

For the front page of a newspaper where space was extremely expensive, this kind of treatment was comparable to a powerful Star Ruler.

Situ Jing and Jiang Zheng, her younger brother, were sitting beside her. Situ Jing exclaimed, "So that Gu Nan is a Heavenly Demon! Should we report him?"

"Are you crazy?!” Jiang Tingwei was frightened by her and blurted out.

Jiang Zheng cut in from the side, "Heavenly Demons aren’t necessarily evil. Moreover, he’s at least Star Ruler Realm. No organization will have the leisure to randomly make an enemy of him."

Be it deities or Heavenly Demons, they were more like a special race in the Myriad Heavens Universe—an exceptional race that was born strong and had its own inheritance hidden within its bloodline.

For creatures like them, powerful organizations would only try their best to recruit them. How could they provoke these races for no reason?

"Oh, that’s true… I heard a Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon is also hiding in Milky Way Heaven, and I haven't seen anyone try to exterminate that one in the name of justice," Situ Jing muttered.

Milky Way Heaven was one of the Thirteen Heavens, a powerful and influential plane in the truest sense and the pinnacle of all planes. It’s said that the Star Ruler of Milky Way Heaven had a Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon subordinate.

"We’ll pretend nothing happened. This is not something we can get involved in." Jiang Tingwei concluded, "Let's keep looking for missions to do and avoid Nirvana Heaven for the time being."

……

Gu Nan got up from his residence and didn’t linger for long. With a single step, he’d already left Zi Luo Heaven, heading straight for the edge of the Myriad Heavens Universe.

The Myriad Heavens Universe was very big. The planes inside it were like bubbles all squeezed inside a small bottle.

Some planes could be traveled to directly, while others could only be reached after stopping at a few intermediary planes.

The plane Gu Nan was currently heading to was a place called Tiluo World that required several stops to reach. When he arrived, Qian Han had already been waiting here for a while.

"My Lord." Qian Han revealed a flattering smile upon seeing Gu Nan and hurriedly came up.

Qian Han’s Tier 4 cultivation was temporarily restored right now because Gu Nan was heading to the golden giants tribe, and only Qian Han could lead the way.

Apostles’ cultivation restrictions were only valid inside the Divine Kingdom. However, Qian Han's loyalty had soared ever since he discovered Gu Nan possessed such a method, and now it was at 75.

Part of it was also because he couldn’t play any tricks right in front of Gu Nan’s eyes.

Tiluo World was a very small plane, almost smaller than the Ghost Sea World that Gu Nan had previously visited, but the density of powerful figures here had reached an alarming level.

All Gu Nan did was casually stand here, yet he unexpectedly ran into several Void Cutter cultivators.

As if seeing Gu Nan's question, Qian Han volunteered, "My Lord, Tiluo World is a plane on the frontlines. The neutral region is right up ahead after leaving this world, and after that, you’ll reach the World of Gods."

"You know the World of Gods?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrows.

Qian Han nodded seriously. "Like us, the World of Gods is a natural cluster of planes and has the protection of a plane wall. It’s very difficult for outsiders to enter… But their powerhouses often come out."

Gu Nan learned a little more about this world from Qian Han's introduction.

The Myriad Heavens Universe and the World of Gods were both places where a multitude of planes naturally “gathered together.” People referred to them as “plane clusters.” The plane clusters were each surrounded by a plane wall, so it was very hard for people who didn’t originate from that plane cluster to travel in and out of the plane wall.

However, for the powerful people inside the plane clusters, the plane wall might as well not exist at all, and they could enter and leave at will. It could be described as a protection blessed by heaven.

Gu Nan felt some headache over this. If he couldn’t enter the World of Gods, that wasn’t good news for his plan to hunt gods.

"However…" Qian Han looked around again. "The density of strong experts here is indeed higher than usual. It may be that some extraordinary treasure has appeared."

As soon as his voice fell, a strange power seeped into the sky, turning into raindrops and falling down. Every drop contained the rich aura of laws.

A Void Cutter cultivator in front of Gu Nan and Qian Han couldn't avoid it in time, and a drop of rain containing laws fell onto his head. His entire person started aging rapidly, turning white-haired in an instant and finally dying of organ failure.

"This… This is the law of aging?" Qian Han was astonished.

"It's time!" Gu Nan grabbed Qian Han and raised the old man over his head to block the rain. "This is fucking Valen’s power… What the hell is this god-awful place?!”

God of Time Valen! A Tier 11 major god!
