At this critical time, Gu Nan’s thug-like declaration made it a little hard for Song Fei to stop halfway.

Although Gu Nan and Fang Chaoyun were both injured, in terms of vitality, Fang Chaoyun couldn’t catch up to Gu Nan even on horseback, not to mention that he also sustained considerable injuries when fighting Gu Nan earlier.

Nevertheless, Song Fei was Song Fei. How could a figure on this level be shaken by mere words?

After he finished speaking, he flat-out ignored Gu Nan and Rolensia’s reactions. Instead, both he and Fang Chaoyun disappeared in a swirl with a wave of his hand.

"In that case, the juniors' grudges should be resolved by themselves. Little Friend Gu Nan, you should be prepared."

In the end, Song Fei was a powerhouse who’d been in Unified Dao Realm for 100,000 years. If he wanted to leave, it was impossible for the newly-ascended Rolensia to stop him.

He left very decisively after seeing that nothing more could be done. Efficient, succinct, and uncaring of face—as expected of one of the Thirteen Heavens, Academic Heaven’s Song Fei.

But in any case, the fact that Rolensia stepped into the realm of a greater god meant Gu Nan and the others’ plan was a great success.

When Rolensia saw Song Fei leave, she turned to Gu Nan. "I won't remain on this side for too long. See you in Extreme Sword Heaven in three days."

After saying this, Rolensia also didn’t dally and quickly disappeared from Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom. Gu Nan, on the other hand, rubbed his chin and pondered.

If his guess was correct, then he would finally be able to meet the core members of the Heaven-God Alliance in Extreme Sword Heaven three days later.

As the two Unified Dao experts retreated, this grand drama full of twists and turns finally came to an end.

Outside, countless Star Rulers who were watching Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom, waiting to see the outcome of this once-in-a-century battle, felt their eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

The battle between Gu Nan and Fang Chaoyun ultimately led to a stand-off between two Unified Dao bigshots. This was a scene that hadn’t occurred in the Myriad Heavens for a thousand years.

Even more people were already considering Rolensia’s identity, as well as the ramifications.

For Star Rulers and even the more knowledgeable Void Cutters, the World of Gods wasn’t much of a secret, and many people had heard of Rolensia's name.

Rolensia’s act of running to the Myriad Heavens to enter Unified Dao was akin to occupying a limited spot that originally belonged to the Myriad Heavens.

In Fang Chaoyun’s words, Gu Nan and the others undoubtedly invited the wolf right into their house, damaging the interests of the entire Myriad Heavens. They were no different from traitors.

Both Gu Nan, who used the exposure of his astral world as a pretense to attract attention, and Xue Ren, who sent out invitations far and wide for a fake Unified Dao ascension ceremony in order to take the attention off of Rolensia, deserved the label of "traitor."

So the next day, the topic of "traitor" spread throughout the Myriad Heavens, and the front page of all the major newspapers covered the short fight between the foreign greater god and Academic Heaven’s Song Fei.

Gu Nan and Fang Chaoyun, the two who served as the fuse for all this, were naturally also reported in detail.

This wasn’t really surprising. In fact, even without the appearance of Unified Dao figures, the level of Gu Nan and Fang Chaoyun’s battle was also worth the attention of the entire Myriad Heavens.

After all, powerful Tier 10 Star Rulers couldn’t be seen at will.

……

Void Grotto Heaven.

"It’s all thanks to your family’s Xue Ren and that little fellow named Gu Nan this time. Truly, well done!" Zou Jiming saw Song Fei being forced back and laughed so hard that tears almost came out of his eyes.

Song Fei's reputation among the Thirteen Heavens showed a very obvious polarization.

Several Unified Dao existences, led by Jiu Po Heaven, had an extremely close relationship with Song Fei, while several others, including Zou Jiming, particularly detested him.

No matter what, it was a fact that he screwed over Zi Luo Elder back in the day; it was impossible for mere rumors to erase this truth from the memories of the Thirteen Heavens.

Yu Lian rolled her eyes in exasperation. "What do you mean by my family’s Xue Ren? I’m seriously going to kick you out."

Zou Jiming hurriedly made a pleading face and showed an apologetic smile. He was also in an extremely good mood, or else he wouldn’t have behaved like this in front of Yu Lian, whom he didn’t really have a close relationship with.

As the Star Ruler of Weapon Martial Heaven, Zou Jiming was probably the person who most wanted to see Rolensia enter Unified Dao.

The reason was very simple—if Rolensia can run to the Myriad Heavens to ascend to Unified Dao, then Xue Ren can also go to the World of Gods to do the same!

With Xue Ren’s title as the strongest swordsman in the Myriad Heavens, even if Zou Jiming was a Unified Dao powerhouse, he still felt some pressure. With Song Fei's precedent right in front of him, who the hell knows if Xue Ren would also go to such extremes in the future?

Without the pressure of Xue Ren chasing after him, Zou Jiming felt his entire body relax.

And his statement about this matter being all thanks to Xue Ren and Gu Nan was also quite an accurate judgment.

Without the two of them attracting everyone’s attention, Rolensia's law fluctuations would inevitably be seen through by other Unified Dao existences the instant she entered that realm.

What was the most likely ending for a Unified Dao cultivator who was a complete stranger to everyone? Of course she would be attacked from all sides.

If they could combine their efforts to prevent an unfamiliar face from reaching Unified Dao, then no one in the Thirteen Heavens wanted to become the Fourteen Heavens.

After all, Rolensia didn’t have any protection from her own Divine Kingdom when she ascended to Unified Dao on this side. She was completely exposed to outside attacks, which was also the biggest drawback of “breaking through in a different world.”

It was precisely because Gu Nan and Xue Ren understood this point in advance that they could each use different methods to attract as much attention as possible and cover for Rolensia.

Due to these two’s excellent performances, even the Thirteen Heavens were temporarily fooled. Until Rolensia succeeded in entering Unified Dao, they were still paying attention to Gu Nan’s side.

This was also why Rolensia thanked Gu Nan.

……

In Clockwork Heaven, Duan Wenqi ran to Lu Wen's side with great enthusiasm, carrying a stack of newspapers.

"Gu Nan and Xue Ren are now completely infamous. I'm afraid they’ll never be able to wash away the word ‘traitor’ from their reputations," Duan Wenqi remarked with a laugh. His mood had not been this good for a long time.

Lu Wen took the newspaper without comment and casually skimmed it.

As Duan Wenqi said, the majority of newspapers leaned towards accusing Gu Nan and Xue Ren of "defecting to the enemy’s side" and harming the interests of the entire Myriad Heavens.

Even some of their past deeds were unearthed, making them appear almost wicked beyond redemption.

After all, it was impossible for anyone to have a pristine record free of blemishes.

Nonetheless, Xue Ren was still a figure on the verge of reaching Unified Dao, so the major newspapers more or less still had some scruples about criticizing him. Thus, more firepower was concentrated on Gu Nan’s head. It was no wonder that Duan Wenqi looked so happy.

However, Lu Wen just shook his head with a light smile after he finished reading. "Why would Star Rulers like you and I ever care about outsiders' opinions of us?"

"In that earlier battle, Gu Nan has already proved that he doesn’t even fear someone at Fang Chaoyun’s level if inside his own astral world. In such a situation, just how many would dare to uphold justice on behalf of heaven?"

"What’s the use of verbal criticisms when no one dares to actually attack Gu Nan?"

Lu Wen's words poured a bucket of cold water on Duan Wenqi's head. In fact, this should also have occurred to Duan Wenqi, given his knowledge. It’s just that he was too happy earlier, so he didn’t think of it.

Now that Lu Wen pointed out the flaw in his logic, Duan Wenqi's expression turned ugly.
