Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 463: Naming The Astral World

The ascension of Gu Nan’s Divine Kingdom to Realm Level was naturally the most important event in the Myriad Heavens right now, but the person who started all this uproar was currently staring at Yan Xiaoxiao, whose appearance had changed.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a change in appearance but rather a younger-looking Yan Xiaoxiao, only she was a little too young.

Gu Nan looked at this little girl in a light blue dress—who looked at most thirteen or fourteen years old—and almost couldn’t recognize her as Yan Xiaoxiao.

"Is this what you used to look like?" Gu Nan's memory was quite good, vaguely recalling that Yan Xiaoxiao looked somewhat similar to the person before him when he first met her.

"Yup." Yan Xiaoxiao smiled lightly and even twirled in passing.

The sunlight shone on her body, but it just passed straight through, leaving no trace of a shadow on the ground—the current Yan Xiaoxiao no longer had a tangible form.

From the moment Gu Nan advanced to Tier 8 and his Divine Kingdom jumped to a Realm Level plane, the world’s origin was strengthened again, and Yan Xiaoxiao could no longer escape her destiny.

She was originally created when Zuo Zuo extracted a portion of Immortal Demon World's origin, and only after reincarnating over and over again did she end up in her current state.

Now that Gu Nan planned to ascend his Divine Kingdom to Realm Level, unless Yan Xiaoxiao was willing to go far away, this day would come sooner or later.

The current Yan Xiaoxiao had completely fused with the Divine Kingdom, and it could be said that she was the embodiment of the world's will and also possessed the highest authority to manage the Divine Kingdom.

In the words of the Myriad Heavens, Yan Xiaoxiao had become the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Gu Nan glanced at her again and said, "You will forever exist alongside the Divine Kingdom in this world, and in the future, perhaps you’ll even become the embodiment of the will of the entire Myriad Heavens, but… you will never be able to exist in real life either."

The current Yan Xiaoxiao was the world itself, and the world was her. The person in front of Gu Nan was nothing more than a projection.

Unless the Divine Kingdom was destroyed, she would never die.

Yan Xiaoxiao, however, just nodded with a smile. "Eternal life doesn’t feel bad either. Then, Teacher, please don't let me disappear… Oh right, there's one more thing."

Yan Xiaoxiao sent Red Tail to Gu Nan after she said this.

"Is there a problem with the Divine Kingdom War’s target plane?" Gu Nan looked at her with puzzlement. At the moment, Red Tail was responsible for matters related to the Divine Kingdom War.

"That’s not it…" Red Tail shook her head with an awkward smile. "My Lord, you seem to keep forgetting one thing—this Divine Kingdom still doesn't have a name yet."

Red Tail's words caused Gu Nan to stare blankly, and then he remembered that this really was the case.

The various astral worlds of the Myriad Heavens, from the largest astral worlds at the level of the Thirteen Heavens to the smallest planes that had yet to be controlled by anyone, definitely had names—as long as they were discovered.

Some astral worlds were named after the plane’s special characteristics, some had names that came from the personal preferences of their Star Rulers, and others were simply named after the Star Rulers themselves.

For example, if Gu Nan put off naming his Divine Kingdom any longer, people would have to call it "Gu Nan Realm"—the first Realm Level plane ever to be named so casually.

Normally, when a plane was first discovered, there was no need to rush to name it.

This was because nobody knew exactly what special characteristics it had and how its future Star Ruler would go about naming it. It would probably take tens or hundreds of years before a recognized name would emerge for this astral world.

However, Gu Nan had developed a little too fast, raising his astral world to a “Realm” Level plane in almost the blink of an eye.

It wouldn't make sense for an astral world at this level to still be unnamed.

"Do you guys have any suggestions?" Gu Nan thought for a moment and looked at Red Tail and Yan Xiaoxiao.

He really didn't have any ideas himself, and it wasn’t like the Divine Kingdom had many special features to speak of. To put it bluntly, its only special characteristic was having an Evil God Temple—but including Evil God in the name would be a bit too stupid.

Wasn’t that blatantly announcing his identity to the gods next door?

"How about calling it the Hundred Wars Realm?" Red Tail didn't try to be polite with Gu Nan and suggested directly, "We rose up by waging one war after another, which precisely fits the description of ‘elite troops forged through a hundred wars’."

"I'm just sending you guys to slaughter other planes, what's so warlike about that?" Gu Nan vetoed the suggestion without thinking.

Yan Xiaoxiao also piped up, "If there aren’t any good suggestions, why don't we just use the previous 'Immortal Demon'? In any case, it's just a name."

Before Gu Nan could respond, Lan Si had also walked in at some point and interjected, "I think it's better to call it the ‘One God Realm', as Your Excellency can be considered the only god here."

Along with the first three, the number of people who subsequently entered the Evil God Temple increased, and after hearing about the important matter of naming this world, the suggestions also multiplied.

However, none of these names could satisfy Gu Nan, and in the end, it was he himself who made the final decision.

"Just call it ‘No Name Change til Unified Dao’ Realm."

……

The ascension of Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom to Realm Level caused a sensational impact in the Myriad Heavens, so much so that even the latest news from inside the Divine Kingdom quickly spread throughout the major planes.

"That name really is like him." Xue Ren didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he sat across from Zhuangxuan.

Xue Ren was running out of time, so he couldn’t even spare time to personally visit Gu Nan and congratulate him on his astral world’s ascension. This time, it was still Zhuangxuan who specially rushed over to bring him the latest news.

Only Gu Nan would treat a matter as serious as the name of one’s astral world so flippantly.

On the contrary, Zhuangxuan wasn’t surprised by this, or even if he was, his face still wouldn’t show anything.

"The name will not affect Senior Gu Nan's power." Zhuangxuan said calmly, "As long as the organization can survive this ten-year calamity, he will undoubtedly be the next target we will focus all our resources on raising."

The Heaven-God Alliance had developed in secret for many years, and it also saw explosive growth just recently, so it had considerable resources under its control.

Pouring out the entire organization's strength to help a certain Star Ruler might not be of much help in terms of ascending to Unified Dao, but it had an all-encompassing effect in other areas.

Zhuangxuan was like the calmest of managers, always making choices in the organization’s best interest.

Xue Ren agreed with him, so he calmly waited for Zhuangxuan to continue—a mere controversial name was not worth Zhuangxuan's trip here.

Without disappointing Xue Ren, Zhuangxuan indeed added, "I came over this time because I received Fang Chaoyun's membership application."

"Who?" Xue Ren raised his eyebrows slightly and almost thought he had heard wrong.

"Fang Chaoyun," Zhuangxuan's voice was still calm, but it also seemed to contain a trace of helplessness.

Xue Ren froze for a long time, then slowly came back to his senses as he realized the malicious intent behind this application. After a long time, he couldn’t help sighing softly. "Sure enough, this is Song Fei’s handiwork…"

Upright and frank Song Fei. When it came to Academic Heaven's Unified Dao powerhouse, every single move was laid out in the open for all to see, and now it was the Heaven-God Alliance’s turn to make a choice.
