Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

The fundamental goal behind having people spread transmigration novels inside the Divine Kingdom was to disseminate the concept of "transmigration.”

In the current Divine Kingdom, the antagonism between the Eastern and Western Continents had been completely established. The arrangement Gu Nan conceived back then was carried out by Yan Xiaoxiao and the others without fail.

From the time the inhabitants were born—before they could even read and write—the concept of "Martial Arts Tournaments" was constantly instilled in them.

Victory in a Martial Arts Tournament was both an individual and collective honor bestowed by society. In the Divine Kingdom, everyone’s goal was to win, win, and win again.

If one was strong enough and defeated enough opponents, they could gain social status, cultivation resources, and the power to control others.

Anything else was merely a derivative of those three things.

People who grew up in this kind of society hardly had time to ponder the meaning of their lives and the identity of the mastermind behind all this.

Many people believed the legend that a god was using this method to select the strongest person in the world.

As for why such an Eastern society had the concept of a “god,” one would have to ask Lan Si.

Loyalty to Gu Nan would be guaranteed for talents cultivated in this environment. At least to a large extent, they had no room to refuse.

Which was why Gu Nan dared to use the "transmigration" method to test Liang Ruxin’s "quality." In fact, this kind of method might even work better.

Of course, in order to ensure that all future candidates immediately understand what to do in this kind of situation, it was essential to spread the concept of “transmigration.”

The plane Gu Nan picked for Liang Ruxin wasn’t just randomly selected. Rather, it was one of several alternative target planes for the first war.

……

Jin Lin World.

Liang Ruxin stared blankly at the scene before him. He was in the middle of a mountainous forest. Birds chirped overhead, and human figures could even be seen up ahead.

But he could confirm that he most certainly wasn’t in his original world anymore. The reason was simple—the Divine Kingdom didn’t have three suns.

Harsh sunlight shone down from the three suns in the sky, making Liang Ruxin feel like he couldn’t open his eyes for a while.

That was when a cold female voice rang in his ears.

[Ultimate Mission: Become the king of this state within one year

Mission Reward: Unknown

Mission Failure Penalty: Death]

……

After giving Liang Ruxin an "ultimate mission," Gu Nan calmly continued his work.

Gu Nan wasn’t a real system, nor did he have time to observe Liang Ruxin's every move, so he only gave Liang Ruxin an ultimate mission and then watched it gradually take effect.

Jin Lin World was an even smaller plane than the Divine Kingdom, so time flowed faster over there. A year over there might only be two or three months in the Divine Kingdom.

Speaking of which, as the Evil God Temple leveled up, Yan Xiaoxiao and Lan Si informed Gu Nan several times that the flow of time inside the Divine Kingdom showed signs of slowing down.

If the time flow ratio with the main world was 10:1 at first, then it was probably 9:1 now or even 8:1.

This wasn’t a bad thing. Perhaps once Gu Nan advanced to Tier 8 or Tier 9, the Divine Kingdom would ascend to the ranks of a Realm Level plane and could also be transformed into a main world.

At that time, the Divine Kingdom’s coordinates would naturally be exposed. It was impossible to hide Realm Level planes from everyone's eyes. Of course, at the same time, his Divine Kingdom would also enjoy all the conveniences of being a main world.

The most typical advantage was naturally the possibility of initiating reincarnation directly from inside the Divine Kingdom, so there would be no need for the White Mist branch in White Bones Realm to exist.

"There’s still a long way to go with the Divine Kingdom’s construction!" Gu Nan took in the entire Divine Kingdom’s situation with a glance and lamented.

This was, after all, the core gameplay for players who finished the First Round. It was also the most time-consuming stage for players, so of course the process couldn’t be simple.

Launching an outward invasion was inevitable, or else let alone points and Evil Value—he might not even have enough materials needed for construction.

The materials needed for certain Level 1 structures weren’t just limited to basic resources.

In order to find a suitable plane to invade, Liang Ruxin wasn’t the only “transmigrator” Gu Nan appointed.

In fact, Gu Nan first selected nearly ten planes, then sent out the candidates Yan Xiaoxiao and the others selected to scout these planes.

Of course Gu Nan didn’t have time to keep an eye on them all the time, but as the big boss, he had no problem telling his subordinates to handle it.

So he made use of the White Mist members in White Bones Realm once again, who became stalkers one after another, regularly reporting on these people’s situations.

There was no other way to deal with this.

All the planes Gu Nan selected had Star Rulers watching over them. Whether Gu Nan went in person or sent a Void Cutter, the local Star Ruler would immediately sense them.

Don't be fooled by how casually Gu Nan could kill normal Star Rulers—Star Rulers with and without an astral world were on two completely different levels, especially if fighting on that person’s home turf.

Many considered Star Rulers without an astral world to simply be powerful Void Cutters, and there really was nothing wrong with that statement.

But having an astral world meant they could easily mobilize the whole astral world’s power, and with an almost endless source of power, their explosive power would increase dramatically.

For example, if Gu Nan had forbidden Qu Hongye from taking people from Extreme Sword Heaven with her, overwhelming and slaughtering the native cultivators of Gale World, then Qiao Deyu would’ve been very powerful.

Even if Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom was stronger than Qiao Deyu’s and he could receive a higher power boost, that only applied to a fair battle between the two; the battle absolutely couldn't take place in Gale World.

Just like how the former Zuo Zuo, who was at the peak of Tier 10 back then, ran to Star Realm to deal with a half-dead Red—the level gap between them was close to 2.5 tiers, yet he only managed to suppress her and couldn’t actually kill her.

Star Rulers received too much of a power boost in their own astral worlds, so much so that any battles between gods must first go through a Divine Kingdom War first. It was impossible for a direct fight before then.

Otherwise, things would get pretty troublesome once the enemy hid inside their own astral world.

Of course, it wasn’t like Star Rulers could mobilize the power of their astral worlds whenever they wanted. Every use was an enormous loss for the astral world. Unless it was a matter of life and death, nobody was willing to use such power casually.

Due to this series of reasons, Gu Nan couldn’t directly deal with the astral world’s Star Ruler and could only slowly chip away at them through weaker methods first.

Divine Kingdom Wars had never been about a group of soldiers shouting battle cries as they rushed into battle.

Preliminary investigation, soldier type selection, undercover infiltration, provoking civil unrest, and even internal and external cooperation were all a matter of course.

From the instant Gu Nan decided to fight, the war had already begun.

But just as Gu Nan sent a bunch of people out and waited for news, Red Tail sent him a message first.

"Xue Ren wants to see me?" After Gu Nan received this message, he considered for a moment but didn’t refuse.

He had to hide from the "furious" Lu Wen for a while, so of course his true body couldn’t show up, but it wasn’t a problem to use a clone to meet up.
