Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Tier 10 was a completely different experience from before.

At this moment, Gu Nan was genuinely at Tier 10 in terms of Evil Value, points, and the corresponding cultivation realm. The aura unique to an Evil God had started to emerge.

What exactly was the aura of an Evil God? It was hard to describe. It could be roughly understood as something fundamentally different from normal gods.

It was like the difference between robots and humans. Even if they had the exact same appearance, humans could still tell that something seemed off.

This difference might be reflected in each detail, and once all those details accumulated, the person involved would have a strong feeling: ‘This fellow isn’t the same species as me.’

Red Tail felt this way right now.

She came to report statistics on Imperial Glory Heaven’s invasion to Gu Nan, but she felt like something was strange when she saw Gu Nan sitting on the throne.

Gu Nan was clearly sitting there very normally, yet she still felt that the other party seemed very abstract, as if his entire figure was distorted and eerie, or he might turn into a monster any moment.

Red Tail actually felt a little speechless merely standing in front of Gu Nan.

Gu Nan just smiled calmly. Of course he knew about this. This was always the case after players reached higher levels in the game.

Especially after the Second Round, their Evil God aura would leak out uncontrollably.

Yan Xiaoxiao, who had seen Gu Nan before, was already the spirit of a world, so she didn’t have as strong a reaction. Red Tail, on the other hand, was the first normal living creature to meet the Tier 10 Gu Nan.

In fact, other Unified Dao cultivators were in similar situations, because Unified Dao existences were already considered a new type of lifeform altogether.𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁𝒏𝑒xt.𝒸𝑜𝔪

The difference was that normal Unified Dao figures could keep their aura in check and make themselves appear no different from normal humans. But as an Evil God, Gu Nan was so different from living beings that he couldn't hide it at all.

"You’ll get used to it." Gu Nan stood up from the throne and slowly walked up to Red Tail.

Once he got closer, Gu Nan's strange aura seemed to fade a little, and his whole person appeared more corporeal.

Red Tail tried her best to calm down and finally understood why Yan Xiaoxiao said he was at an "an unprecedented realm", then continued to report on the war.

After completing the war report, Red Tail thought for a while and added, "My Lord, since we killed Lin Huan, the ten years time limit…"

"No longer matters." Gu Nan replied with a wave of his hand, "From now on, produce every possible type of divine servant; we won’t focus on a specific type anymore. Order the Cabinet to focus on internal development from now on."

Red Tail was slightly taken aback, not expecting Gu Nan to suddenly make such a decision.

‘Has the Divine Kingdom’s development already reached his expectations?’

After Red Tail left, Gu Nan made huge adjustments to the Divine Kingdom’s development direction, then walked up to the second floor of the Evil God Temple alone.

Tier 10 wasn’t Gu Nan’s ultimate goal.

Reaching Tier 10 only meant he had the power to protect himself now. Even against greater gods, there would still be some room to fight back as long as he was inside his Divine Kingdom.

But Gu Nan knew that he would still have zero advantage if a Unified Dao powerhouse was determined to oppose him.

There was a huge chasm between pre- and post-Unified Dao. Even if Gu Nan filled this chasm, the gap between him and Unified Dao Realm still existed.

"Since the Divine Kingdom is in the Myriad Heavens, it hasn’t been discovered by that side’s greater gods for the time being, but I still need to finish the Second Round as soon as possible…" Gu Nan still felt a sense of urgency.

The second floor of the Evil God Temple was a very strange existence. To get there, one could only walk up step by step from the spiral staircase behind the throne.

However, this staircase was mind-numbingly long if one only used their legs.

It was impossible to reach the second floor if the player’s body left the staircase even for a second, and the player would have to leave the staircase and enter again.

Players who could see the Evil God Temple’s second floor were all experts who reached Tier 10, and most of them had various bizarre teleportation skills. But if they used any spatial displacement abilities here, they might be stuck in this place for the rest of their lives.

Players finally verified the existence of this small rule after many tries.

So of course an experienced player like Gu Nan wouldn’t be baffled by this. He walked up the stairway for almost a quarter of an hour before he actually reached the Evil God Temple’s second floor.

As the second floor that only appears once the Divine Kingdom reaches Tier 10, only after reaching this floor can one truly realize how strange this place is.

If the Evil God Temple was a normal-looking palace, then the second floor was a completely separate dimension.

This place looked like an empty starry sky. After Gu Nan walked up here, he felt as if he was in a sea of stars. There were swirling galaxies as far as the eye could see, and he could pluck the stars if he just reached out his hand.

If someone came here for the first time, just this scenery alone would be enough to entrance them for a long time.

But Gu Nan seemed to feel nothing from this scenery. He walked forward step by step until he reached the end of the space. Placed there was a bloody skull.

"Blood sacrifice? I’m quite lucky," Gu Nan said to himself with a satisfied look.

Although the game made the Second Round all mysterious, in the end, it was still part of the game and just required players to clear a class change mission.

However, every Second Round mission the player will encounter upon reaching Tier 10 is random. Only when the player personally walked to the Evil God Temple’s second floor would they see the specific mission content.

The bloody skull Gu Nan saw meant a blood sacrifice mission. Out of all the class change missions, it wasn't considered the easiest, but it was also relatively less complicated.

That was what Gu Nan liked the most right now. After all, he didn’t fear a difficult mission, but instead feared wasting too much time and someone discovering his nature as an Evil God.

Most of the blood sacrifice missions required players to kill a target and blood sacrifice the target’s entire Divine Kingdom. The entire plane would be destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

Because it was the Second Round mission, this target would usually be at Tier 10, and they wouldn’t be an ordinary Tier 10—the target would either be very powerful or someone with a deep background.

Of course, the actual implementation method, as well as the specific target of the blood sacrifice, will be specified by the blood sacrifice mission itself.

Gu Nan stretched out his hand and pressed it on the bloody skull, already considering which gods could possibly become the blood sacrifice target.

Rolensia was originally a possibility. She met the characteristic of "powerful", but she was a greater god now, so she wouldn’t be the target of the blood sacrifice.

Lewis, who died at the hands of Daoist Lingyang, wasn’t very strong. On the other hand, the Skeletal Sage who appeared earlier had a chance of being the target because he had a good relationship with a greater god.

But Gu Nan’s eyes almost popped out of his head when a line of text appeared above the bloody skull.

Graceful Heaven, Fang Chaoyun.
