Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

After first destroying Immortal Empress Taisheng’s imperial forces, Gu Nan’s various troops that infiltrated the ranks of the rebel forces would instantly turn on their former allies, harvesting points with the highest efficiency.

This strategy was set by Gu Nan a long time ago. Now, it was just a matter of implementing it perfectly.

Because the imperial forces accounted for the majority of Imperial Glory Heaven’s power, Gu Nan's harvesting mission was already mostly complete. Just the finishing touches were left.

His points shot up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tier 10 was already close at hand. He just needed to kill the remaining "evil rebels"… Yup, and also avenge Immortal Empress Taisheng in passing.

‘No need to thank me, we’re all members of the Heaven-God Alliance.’

Gu Nan said silently in his heart, and right at this time, a figure slowly emerged before him.

With Gu Nan's current realm, only one group could approach without him noticing it beforehand—a Unified Dao existence.

"Didn’t think you’d be the first to come." Gu Nan looked at the newcomer with a shrug.

Gu Nan wouldn’t have been surprised if either Zi Luo Elder or Song Fei came on behalf of the Heaven-God Alliance and Academic Heaven respectively—even though those two shouldn’t have much time to spare at the moment.

However, neither of them showed up. Instead, the first to come was Lu Wen.

"I also didn’t expect this." Lu Wen said with a smile, "So you really aren’t human."

After his Evil Value reached the Tier 10 standard and his own level reached Tier 9, the aura of the Evil God physique could no longer be hidden.

Normal people might not be able to sense anything, but in the eyes of a Unified Dao cultivator like Lu Wen, the secretive nature in the depths of Gu Nan's soul was by no means something a human could possess.

Gu Nan replied noncommittally, "You came to ask about Duan Wenqi's whereabouts?"

Lu Wen, however, shook his head. "I know you won’t answer even if I ask. Since he’s already fallen into your hands, so be it."

But he then added, "Someone is returning. If you can escape with your life, you can come to Clockwork Heaven to exchange one life for another."

After those words fell, Lu Wen's figure instantly disappeared, not giving Gu Nan a chance to respond.

Gu Nan, on the other hand, cast a strange glance at the spot where Lu Wen disappeared. He originally planned to return Old Duan as soon as Lu Wen asked.

In any case, he got to vent after locking Duan Wenqi up for several years, so there was no use keeping him there any longer. In fact, Duan Wenqi’s imprisonment meant the Divine Kingdom Treasure Orb couldn’t be used for anyone else.

So Gu Nan couldn't help shaking his head. "Why do youngsters try to look cool?"

……

Perhaps because Lu Wen had already become the representative or because the others were busy with their affairs, no second Unified Dao figure showed up after that, which allowed Gu Nan to finally harvest enough points in peace.

"Finally done." Gu Nan also couldn't help letting out a long breath as he sat comfortably in the Evil God Temple, methodically constructing one structure after another.

From the time he leveled up to Tier 8 and resolved to ascend to the heavens in one fell swoop, Gu Nan had never stopped to rest. This really was more tiring than pulling an all-nighter to do an extra-long quest chain in his past life.

He incited war between the two worlds, personally hunted down gods, seized the opportunity to pin some blame on Academic Heaven, then finally took advantage of the situation to attack Imperial Glory Heaven. Only then was he able to fulfill the advancement conditions.

As one structure after another was built and upgraded, the "Advancement" button on Gu Nan's panel finally lit up again.

Gu Nan decisively chose to advance without any hesitation.

As a result, the Evil God Temple expanded once more, taking up more room.

The top part of the Evil God Temple even began to emit a faint light, and under countless people’s watchful eyes, a brand new floor started to emerge.

The second floor of the Evil God Temple!

Gu Nan wasn’t surprised by this. After all, this wasn’t his first time, and the way to clear the Second Round was indeed related to the Evil God Temple’s second floor.

However, the Second Round shouldn’t be rushed; there were still some conditions that needed to be met. Previously, Gu Nan could only lie dormant and wait because his strength was insufficient, but it was time to make his move now.

"Teacher, someone just entered the Divine Kingdom," Yan Xiaoxiao's voice rang out from the side as a petite figure in a white dress reappeared in front of Gu Nan.

As Gu Nan's level soared, the rank of the Divine Kingdom was also rapidly changing. However, this change wouldn’t happen overnight and was a gradual process.

"Who?" Since Yan Xiaoxiao purposely showed up to remind Gu Nan, he wasn’t in a hurry to check and instead asked her.

Yan Xiaoxiao tapped her finger, pulling up a holographic screen in front of Gu Nan. The figure shown in it was none other than Fang Chaoyun's disciple, Lin Huan.

This extremely sci-fi method was obviously something Yan Xiaoxiao just recently learned.

"Should I expel him?" Yan Xiaoxiao asked softly, "He seems to be very angry and wants to confront Teacher."𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁𝒏𝑒xt.𝒸𝑜𝔪

Gu Nan thought about it and replied, "Too troublesome. Just kill him, he has no use anymore."

……

"I want to see Gu Nan!" Lin Huan sat in one of the Divine Kingdom's side halls and said to Red Tail with a stern expression, "He dares to pour dirty water on our heads, yet he doesn't dare to come out and confront me face to face?"

Red Tail had a lot of experience dealing with these kinds of situations and responded without a trace of concern, "I already sent someone to report to His Lordship. Mr. Lin can wait patiently."

Lin Huan sat down with a dark expression but had a sneer on his face. "Gu Nan and the Heaven-God Alliance only know these petty tricks. Once the Great War is over and Grand Master returns, there will be plenty of time to settle the score with you guys!"

However, Red Tail was still smiling, not taking it to heart as she continued chatting with him.

Lin Huan realized he couldn't scare the other party, so he stopped talking and sat alone with a stiff expression.

He was here to use the power of Academic Heaven to pressure Gu Nan into coming forward to clear up the misunderstanding.

But Lin Huan wasn’t really worried about his own safety. Even an existence like Xue Ren wouldn't dare kill a disciple of Academic Heaven for no reason, and Gu Nan's position in the Heaven-God Alliance was far below the former.

A few moments later, Yan Xiaoxiao’s figure suddenly appeared and landed next to Red Tail.

Before Red Tail could speak, Yan Xiaoxiao had already smiled at Lin Huan and then said, "Teacher's orders: send him on his way."

Before Lin Huan could register her words, he suddenly felt his heart sink inexplicably, and a warm sensation started coming from his neck.

A fountain of blood spurted out crazily from his carotid aorta, looking as if Lin Huan's carotid artery had burst from an explosive rise in blood pressure.

Only when Lin Huan's corpse fell to the ground, motionless, did Red Tail slowly open her mouth, "Does this mean His Lordship is no longer afraid of that one? Could it be…?"

Yan Xiaoxiao gently shook her head. "Teacher has yet to take that step. However, his current realm can truly be called unprecedented."

……

In Academic Heaven, Fang Chaoyun was still diligently handling matters related to the Great War. A large amount of information came from the frontlines everyday, all of which he had to handle.

Suddenly, a disciple stumbled in and cried, "Master! Master… Senior Martial Brother Lin’s soul lantern went out!"

Snap!

Fang Chaoyun's hand tightened, and the battered brush in his hand finally snapped.
