Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Gu Nan didn’t know what she was thinking, nor was he interested in knowing.

Moreover, he wasn’t about to tell Sylvia that not only did he know her past with Dvalin, every single player who has ever done the "dragonkin" system mission knew about it.

Dragonkin was one of the special races that players could reincarnate into, and this race was so much better than vampires.

In the end, vampires were only a half-undead clan belonging to the Dark Faction. It was already considered very impressive for a clan to have ten Legend Rank members.

But the dragon clan?

As long as they grew normally, any pure-blooded dragonkin would naturally reach Legend Rank upon entering adulthood. Even mix-blooded dragonkin were still much stronger than vampires.

Not only did the dragonkin retain the dragon race’s superb heritage, but they also possessed the human race’s short growth cycle, as well as the potential for unlimited evolution.

The moment he decided to build a player army, dragonkin was already a must-have route in Gu Nan's plans.

But he didn’t come here solely for the dragonkin this time. Dragon Realm also housed an item that could temporarily seal a Divine Kingdom, which could perhaps be used to preserve his own Divine Kingdom.

"Then let's find trouble for Dvalin?" Sylvia sounded a little eager.

Even though she was a god with a somewhat poor memory, when Dvalin’s name reappeared in her mind, she couldn't help but recall her past feud.

In fact, in the original game, the player needs to complete another mission before this where they’d meet Sylvia and have her recall these memories.

However, Gu Nan didn’t have to go through such a troublesome process this time; he could simply tell her directly.

He needed Dvalin’s blood plus the heads of twenty metal dragons to open the Dragon Tomb.

While it was possible to handle this matter without Sylvia, it’d be better to have the latter as a scapegoat so that Gu Nan himself wouldn’t attract too many people’s attention.

"No, we need to get something first."

……

Dragon Realm was a very large plane, where countless islands floated overseas, surrounding a vast continent in the center.

Similar to the setting in many fantasy novels, this continent was known as the Dragon God Continent, and legends often began here.

Of course the Dragon God Continent didn’t only have dragons. Like all planes, the race with the largest population here was also the human race, which had astonishing reproductive abilities.

In the northwestern part of the continent, the Flame Dragon Empire, which was blessed by the Red Dragon, ruled over thousands of subjects there.

Within the Flame Dragon Empire, there was a distinguished Prince Charlie, whose fame was comparable to that of his legendary father.

"I'm looking for Charlie." Gu Nan took Sylvia with him and descended directly into the Flame Dragon Empire’s imperial palace.

The servant who was grabbed by Gu Nan couldn't help but sound a little strained when he felt the tremendous pressure coming from the two strangers, "Un-Understood. I will inform him right away—"

"You just need to tell me where he is."

A few minutes later, Gu Nan was already standing in front of Charlie's door.

Sylvia pursed her lips. "If you want to find someone, as long as we disclose our identities, they’ll naturally come to us of their own accord."

With Sylvia's status, she naturally didn’t care for such a sneaky way of doing things.

But neither did Gu Nan enjoy pretending to be a pig in order to eat a tiger. It’s just that it wasn’t convenient for him to reveal his identity here.

Otherwise, it would seem too deliberate when he later went to Dvalin’s territory again using Sylvia's name.

When Sylvia saw his lack of a response, she asked a different question, "What do you want with this mortal?"

"To have him pull out a sword for me."

"Oh! These greedy mortals will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to demand a high reward!" Sylvia looked like she’d been deeply hurt by this in the past.

Gu Nan just looked at her like she was an idiot.

After pushing open the door and entering, the two soon saw Prince Charlie. He was teaching a young girl to read.

"The sword in the stone has appeared in the westernmost land," Gu Nan didn’t bother conversing with the two and simply said these words like an incantation.

As soon as his voice fell, his and Sylvia's figures had already disappeared.

All the way until they left, Prince Charlie and his little sister, Alice, were still in a dumbfounded state.

It was little Alice who came back to her senses first and said excitedly, "Brother! Did you hear that? There’s a sword in the stone in the west! Two apostles even came in person to pass on the message!"

In the World of Gods, the legend of the sword in the stone has always been linked to a change in throneship, a symbol of the gods' chosen emperor.

And apostles coming to the door to convey the will of the gods was something that would only happen in fictional stories. They never thought such a scene would really appear in front of them.

Other princes might experience a wave of fear in this situation, but Prince Charlie was different.

The reason why Prince Charlie was famous was because of his majestic talent and military excellence. His taking over the throne was practically a given.

On the contrary, the emergence of the sword in the stone and the apostles visiting him were pleasant surprises.

……

"What is the westernmost land?" Sylvia asked curiously as she walked side by side with Gu Nan.

"The world is round. There’s no such thing as the westernmost land." Gu Nan looked at her like she was a mediocre student. "West of the Flame Dragon Empire is Metallic Silver Island. Don’t tell me you don’t even know that?”

Sylvia froze. As previously stated, her knowledge of Dragon Realm definitely wasn’t deep, and her geography was a mess.

But she at least knew that Metallic Silver Island was the lair of the metal dragons and Dvalin’s residence.

……

A week later, Prince Charlie led his adventurer squad through many hardships, finally arriving at the outskirts of Metallic Silver Island…

And then they were stopped by a dragon.

"Leave immediately! Lowly humans, Metallic Silver Island is not a place you should’ve come to—"

Boom!

A lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck the metal dragon on the head; its huge dragon body fell heavily to the ground.

Charlie and others glanced at each other, but now that the gatekeeper fell so inexplicably, they didn’t dare delay and hurried towards the center of Metallic Silver Island.

"Hey! A dragon struck unconscious by lightning—isn’t this a little too comical?" Sylvia slowly walked out from the shadows, seemingly dissatisfied with Gu Nan's clumsy tactics.

Although manipulating adventurers for their own use was a tactic gods often used, they never made things this ridiculous.

"Metal tends to attract lightning. This is common sense," Gu Nan shrugged, talking about irrelevant theories while his feet already started walking inside.

But he suddenly stopped after only a few steps and stared ahead with slight surprise. "We’re not very lucky; we ran into some trouble."

Dvalin was a troublemaker who caused countless problems. Thus, no matter what time, it wouldn’t be strange to see people looking for his trouble.

But to run into the most troublesome person as soon as they arrived. One could only say that Gu Nan’s luck was too good… Or rather, Sylvia’s luck wasn’t good.

By now, the Goddess of Shadows had also discovered who exactly was on Metallic Silver Island. Her expression changed slightly and she hurriedly said, "Something came up, so I’ll take my lea—"

"Too late."

Sylvia was slightly stunned, then immediately heard an angry roar coming from the front:

"Sylvia! You ran out to seduce men again!"
