When Gu Nan's voice fell, the scene began to descend into a strange sort of silence.

Some astonishment appeared in Lu Wen’s eyes, while Duan Wenqi looked at Gu Nan as if he was looking at a fool. Even the silver dragon on Lu Wen's shoulder couldn't help glancing down, her huge eyes staring at Gu Nan.

She didn’t have a deep understanding of human society, so she didn’t quite understand the meaning behind the other party’s words just now.

‘It sounds like he wants to do something bad, but why did he say it aloud? Shouldn't he say nothing so that he can bide his time and do it secretly?’

But then Lu Wen immediately laughed involuntarily. An old monster like him who lived for countless years could certainly understand Gu Nan’s true meaning.

To put it mildly, the young man in front of him was sounding him out and testing his limits. But to put it bluntly, Gu Nan was simply confident in his own backing.

He only dared to act so unbridled because he just came here as a clone, and no one knew the location of his astral world and true body.

"In that case, this one wishes you a smooth trip." Lu Wen’s reaction was still as mysterious as ever, not giving away his true thoughts at all. It was as if nothing could set off any waves in his heart.

Gu Nan nodded, then left without another word.

"This Gu Nan should be the Heavenly Demon people were talking about recently, but from his appearance, he doesn’t really look like one…"

After Gu Nan left, Duan Wenqi actually smiled a little, gazing at the direction Gu Nan left in and shaking his head. He didn’t look like he was fuming at all, which was his expression just seconds ago.

But Lu Wen refuted, "Not necessarily. I've seen the Heavenly Demon in Milky Way Heaven a few times, and they usually look no different from ordinary people."

Duan Wenqi took out a stack of documents from somewhere, all of which were information on Gu Nan. Even small details like the fact that he came from Langya World had been thoroughly unearthed.

After all, Gu Nan went to Star Realm through an ascension center. Even Radiant Tower knew about this, so if Astral Gate wanted to investigate, this was no secret at all.

Only the events that happened before his ascension couldn’t be known, because hundreds of years had already passed since then on such a small plane like Langya World. There were absolutely no traces left over from back then.

Such a small plane like Langya World couldn’t even bear the weight of investigative techniques to look back in time.

"His origins are clear, but he grew by leaps and bounds as soon as he entered a Realm Level plane. Apart from being the reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse, there’s really no other reasonable conclusion," Duan Wenqi threw the documents aside and reported in a low voice.

"I don't care about his origins, but Lou Wanying must be able to get the sand of time," Lu Wen said seriously.

Duan Wenqi nodded silently. Of course he knew that Lou Wanying was a very important piece in this one’s plan. They must help him get the treasure, but at the same time, they couldn't make that help too obvious.

Gu Nan was originally the best candidate. Lou Wanying already knew him, and he was also strong enough for the task, but unfortunately…

"I'll find the next candidate," Duan Wenqi said thus.

Lu Wen nodded lightly, and the giant silver dragon unfolded its wings and covered the sky, casting a shadow over their heads.

……

Inside the Divine Kingdom, Gu Nan's true body opened his eyes.

Of course the saint clone didn’t return to his Divine Kingdom. He wasn’t a fool. Returning to the Divine Kingdom right in front of Lu Wen’s face—wasn’t that just asking to expose his Divine Kingdom’s coordinates?

In fact, even if the alt account died outside, Gu Nan still didn’t intend to recall it back here again—safety first.

As for the Time Arena, Gu Nan was telling the truth. If the sand of time was destined to be acquired by Lou Wanying, then he really didn’t intend to enter the Time Arena. He could simply wait outside.

Perhaps other people might still worry about Lou Wanying using up this treasure as soon as he obtained it, but Gu Nan had no such worry.

Because he knew all too well what the Time Arena was and what the sand of time was used for.

In the game, the Time Arena was a famous blueprint dungeon. As the name implied, it didn’t drop Evil Value or points, and the reward for clearing it was blueprints for Divine Kingdom structures, which was the sand of time that Lu Wen mentioned.

The blueprint could be used to build the corresponding structure in the Divine Kingdom—that is, the Time Arena. Its function was to shorten the training time for troops’ skills, and it could be regarded as a very practical structure when the Divine Kingdom went to war.

Moreover, the Time Arena wasn’t a basic structure and could only be built from external blueprints.

"A blessed land?"

Gu Nan remembered this world’s term for structures and couldn’t help shaking his head with a chuckle. In a certain sense, there was nothing wrong with calling the Divine Kingdom’s structures blessed lands.

Anyhow, they were all special areas inside the astral world that could provide special enhancements to the astral world.

The difference was that most of the blessed lands were scattered around normal cultivators’ astral worlds, while Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom structures were all concentrated inside the Evil God Temple.

Gu Nan moved the saint clone to one of the frontline planes and chose to stay dormant for a while. He used this time to ask around for first-hand information while also waiting for the result of the "treasure fight."

As long as the sand of time didn’t fall into the hands of someone from the World of Gods, then Gu Nan would be able to seize it, no matter who currently had it. In any case, Star Rulers who didn’t own an astral world wouldn’t be able to use the sand of time.

At this time, a message from someone he hadn’t seen for a long time reached the Evil God Temple. It was sent by Red Tail, whom Gu Nan ordered to rebuild White Mist.

She went to the extremely remote Crescent Moon World. If she wanted to return to the Divine Kingdom, she needed to call Gu Nan first so that she could return by borrowing his power.

Moreover, Red Tail was still just a Prodigious cultivator, and if she stayed in Crescent Moon World for a long time, her lifespan wouldn’t be enough to support that.

So Red Tail didn’t stay any longer after she established a basic foundation for White Mist there. Instead, she asked Lan Si to take her to Skeletal Realm and remotely control the situation in Crescent Moon World through reincarnation.

And the message from her was a call for help.

This matter was pretty simple. She re-established a small reincarnator organization in Skeletal Realm and used the members there to control Crescent Moon World.

But after a little while, her organization quickly caught the attention of the locals there, and now the new White Mist was being targeted.

The one eyeing them was another reincarnator organization suspected of having Void Cutters among their ranks, which was why Red Tail anxiously asked for help.

Gu Nan shook his head slightly after reading it. The establishment of reincarnator organizations was already a relatively mild way of encroaching on local interests, but he didn’t expect for some people to still covet it.

Lan Si needed to help manage the Divine Kingdom, so she didn’t have time to be a bodyguard for Red Tail. The shadow servants were also unqualified due to their low intelligence. After leaving the Divine Kingdom, they were merely robots that could only obey orders.

It seemed that it was extremely urgent to find a group of powerful apostles who wouldn’t easily betray him.

The construction of a Divine Kingdom required a lot of manpower, which Gu Nan had long expected. Therefore, the gods in the game often accepted some innately gifted races under their command.

Originally, the golden giants were a good choice, but it was a pity that he ran into a fight between major god-level powerhouses, causing even Gu Nan himself to almost die there, and Qian Han, who led the way, did lose his life.

Right now, the world outside the Myriad Heavens Universe had already attracted a lot of attention, so if Gu Nan went there again to recruit apostles, that would be no different from walking right into a trap.

"Let's deal with the problem in Skeletal Realm first and look for any desperate Void Cutter cultivators in passing. I can consider recruiting another otherworldly clan after the Time Arena concludes."

With Gu Nan’s decision, the saint clone that was already on the frontlines immediately moved. After several consecutive leaps, he arrived at Skeletal Realm, in front of an organization called Flying Clouds.
