Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 431: Helper

"This is an opportunity," Daoist Lingyang murmured as he stood in the sky, his gaze landing on the Dark Emperor below.

Of course Daoist Lingyang recognized the two figures below. The Dark Emperor, as well as his ancestor—the God of Tenebrosity Lewis.

Daoist Lingyang struggled to keep his gaze from landing on Lewis.

Tier 10 powerhouses were very sensitive to their surroundings and could even sense any gaze directed at them.

Especially such a... malicious gaze like Daoist Lingyang's.

"Him showing up in a main plane is indeed your best chance." Xue Ren similarly didn't look at Lewis. In fact, he didn't look at any of them because this didn't concern him.

After saying that, he added with some amusement, "You've been plotting for today for a thousand years, but your plan hasn't even unfolded yet when your target was already lured out by Gu Nan... How do you feel about that?"

Xue Ren nearly laughed out loud towards the end, only refraining to save his old friend some face.

The old Daoist's story was actually not complicated at all. As a good friend, Xue Ren was quite familiar with it.

Before he even became a Star Ruler, Daoist Lingyang had come to the World of Gods to explore, and it was precisely this experience that helped him stand out from his competition for Clear Profundity Sect's Sect Master position later on, ultimately allowing him to take control of Clear Profundity Realm.

It was also during his journey in the World of Gods that he befriended a goddess who helped him greatly.

Later on, he still hadn't forgotten that goddess even after he became the Star Ruler of Clear Profundity Realm. Unfortunately, by the time he freed up some time to visit the World of Gods again, she had already fallen, dying at the hands of none other than Lewis.

Azure Water Goddess Margaret.

After a thousand years, not even her descendants could remember that their ancestor had once been a god, but Daoist Lingyang still remembered.

Even if there were only a few simple encounters between them and they were far from lovers, and even if not even Daoist Lingyang himself was sure whether Margaret would still remember him.

But none of that mattered. She was dead and he wanted revenge—it was as simple as that. This old Daoist was precisely such a stubborn person.

But killing Lewis was absolutely not a simple matter.

Setting aside the fact that the God of Tenebrosity was a Tier 10 god, there was still a very basic issue in his way—Daoist Lingyang was unable to mobilize the power of his astral world in the World of Gods.

The dimensional walls had a great impact. Except for people like Gu Nan who fought with their physical bodies, normal Star Rulers couldn't even utilize 80% of their power.

Fortunately, there were still places like main planes here.

Main planes were very special existences in the World of Gods. The spatial laws of the World of Gods were very stable, and among them, the ones in main planes were especially stable.

Existences stabilized at the level of a greater god were completely unable to enter main planes using their true bodies. Even normal gods could barely use the power of their Divine Kingdoms in main planes.

Here, Lewis's combat power wasn't much stronger than Daoist Lingyang, which was why Xue Ren said this was his best chance.

What was rather awkward, however, was that this opportunity wasn't of his own making—rather, Gu Nan had created it for him.

"Laugh if you want." Daoist Lingyang also didn't expect for this undead to be such a strong temptation for Lewis, but all in all, this wasn't a bad thing.

As long as his purpose was achieved, what did it matter even if his thousand years of scheming was mostly discarded?

Xue Ren coughed dryly, sort of easing the embarrassment. ''Let's not talk about that. Now that Lewis has come out, just how much certainty do you have? Do you need my help?"

In Xue Ren's opinion, they only had one shot at this. Once they startled Lewis and alerted him to their intent, it would be very hard to kill a Tier 10 god.

Daoist Lingyang's gaze was still directed at the ground below. "Wait just a little longer..."

...

Lewis was studying the dark giant.

He felt some vague unease in his heart, but this didn't make him vigilant. If he didn't feel threatened at all even when facing the undead made from the first Blacksmith God, then that would be a sign that something was wrong with his intuition.

The God of Tenebrosity was also a god who lived for countless years, so he was familiar with the first Blacksmith God's death. He just didn't know that the Blacksmith God had died in Atalante.

"Karina," he directly showed up and spoke without any intention of hiding himself.

The ruckus created by the Wrestling Goddess was too great. It wouldn't be long before countless gods noticed this scene, and by then, there would be a whole lot more contenders if they wanted to capture this undead.

Karina and the dark giant had already fought for a while, and the first three minutes of excitement was more or less over by now, so she turned her head back when she heard the shout.

"Oh, it's you. Something the matter?" Karina's hand movements did not stop, and she casually replied as she viciously stabbed her spear into the dark giant's palm once again.

This Wrestling Goddess seemed completely unaware that two of her teammates had already escaped.

Lewis didn't actually want to provoke this crazy woman, so he first asked, "Is the Blacksmith God undead your target? I want a living undead. We can cooperate if our goals don't conflict."

Karina's eyes lit up at once. "Can you capture him so I can fight him from time to time?"

She was a little tired now, but it was a bit of a shame to let this opponent go. It would be great if someone could keep it under control for her to fight whenever she had time.

"Sure." Lewis flashed a smile. He wasn't surprised in the slightest by Karina's answer. Every single senior god knew what kind of person the Wrestling Goddess was.

"Deal!" Karina agreed without hesitation.

She wasn't afraid of Lewis reneging or backstabbing her—in any case, if there was no undead, then she would simply find Lewis for a fight.

"Cooperation? Count me in as well," another voice interjected. The voice sounded dry and gloomy, as if iron sheets were being scraped together, making people's hairs stand on end.

Another person appeared out of thin air beside the two. It was a bone-thin old man with a wrinkled face.

Skeletal Sage Stevenson, another bigshot within the Dark Faction and one of the rare undead creatures to ascend to godhood.

Legend has it that Stevenson was initially just an ordinary skeleton soldier born in the Undead Kingdom but ultimately reached his current level. He was definitely not to be underestimated.

"Stevenson." Lewis's gaze lingered on him for a moment, and he said in a low voice, "I want the undead himself, and Karina wants to fight him. What do you want?"

A cold smile tugged at the Skeletal Sage's old face. "I need him for some research. It won't affect his vitality."

The Skeletal Sage ultimately chose the path of a Skeleton Mage, which was actually very similar to a human Necromancer, so he had no reason to let the masterpiece of the second-generation Death God slip through his fingers.

Lewis contemplated for a moment and eventually nodded in agreement.

Only Xue Ren, who was in the sky above them, leveled a meaningful gaze at Daoist Lingyang. "So you still had a helper."
