Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

After Gu Nan placed the crimson skull on the second floor of the Evil God Temple, the Second Round was completed.

There were no abnormal phenomena around the world, no signs of someone ascending to Unified Dao. As a matter of fact, no one even noticed. But Gu Nan had already stepped into Unified Dao Realm.

Based on classifications from the World of Gods and the game, the current Gu Nan was already at Tier 11.

There were existences on the same level as him, such as the two top powers reigning over the law of time on both sides, Clockwork Heaven’s Lu Wen and God of Time Valen.

These two were both juniors in the Unified Dao hierarchy and ascended most recently. Of course, Rolensia was also among those ranks now.

But after reaching this stage, how early or late someone entered this realm and their level could no longer be used to judge the person’s strength.

For example, even if Lu Wen was only at Tier 11, he still didn’t fear the Tier 12 Song Fei at all. This confidence stemmed from the special nature of his laws and also from the two Great Daos he comprehended when he ascended to Unified Dao.

The same went for Gu Nan. Even if he just reached Tier 11, he still had the confidence to kill the clones of two veteran greater gods!

The holy sword struck Gu Nan's head with great force as terrifying holy flames poured out, spreading all over Gu Nan's body in the blink of an eye. But Gu Nan continued charging forward without slowing down at all.

The holy sword could not damage his body, and the holy flames could not effectively burn him. On the other hand, Gu Nan was getting closer and closer to the holy light clone and purple mist.

One must know that the power of the dream realm appeared in the sky above the Evil God Temple, almost at the edge of the astral world, and Austin even sealed off space—disabling all teleportation—in order to leave an escape route for himself.

But now, Gu Nan relied solely on his own speed to shorten the distance enough for a counterattack!

Austin's clone made three consecutive slashes, each slash imbued with blazing holy flames. Even laws were burned and distorted by the holy flames, then assimilated into boundless light.𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁𝒏𝑒xt.𝒸𝑜𝔪

Even with just a clone, the characteristics of the law of light have not changed.

Gu Nan's own law of shadows was quickly assimilated, but he held the advantage of being here in person, so he could use far more laws than his opponent's two clones.

Shadows quickly enveloped the clones of Austin and Kenneth. Even if the shadows were assimilated in the blink of an eye, it was still enough to delay them for a little while.

And all Gu Nan needed was just this little while.

One punch!

Gu Nan landed a heavy punch, directly punching through the holy light making up Austin's clone. Sparkling, translucent dots of light scattered throughout their surroundings and were instantly swallowed up by the shadows.

But Austin didn't hesitate in the slightest. He swung the sword down again, hitting Gu Nan square on the shoulder.

But it was still… useless!

The clone’s absolute power was insufficient, and the sublime characteristics of the law of light alone was not enough to harm the post-Second Round Evil God physique.

On the contrary, Gu Nan's fists didn’t pause at all. Each punch pierced straight through Austin’s body and destroyed the laws attached to the clone, consuming Austin's power to the maximum extent.

Apart from saint clones, which walked among mortals, gods’ clones were essentially a fusion of portions of their Godhead and laws.

The separated Godhead fragment acted as a core, directing the laws to attack enemies. So while the quality of the clone’s laws weren’t inferior to their original body, the total amount was far inferior, and they also weren’t protected by a god’s divine body.

Gu Nan was all too familiar with the gods' methods and made the most correct decision every step of the way. Facing him, the two greater gods’ clones couldn’t actually do much in response.

Just like this, Gu Nan flat-out tanked the holy sword’s attacks and threw hundreds of punches in just half an instant, turning the clone of holy light into a sieve riddled with holes.

The holy light collapsed instantly and was swallowed up by the all-consuming shadows. Without its driving force, the holy flames also stopped burning and quickly sank into the shadows.

Gu Nan reached out and grabbed a crystal object from inside the collapsing holy light. It was the remaining fragment of Austin's Godhead.

He put the Godhead away and moved his gaze to the purple mist on the sidelines.

Ruler of Nightmares, Kenneth. This greater god who discovered the actions of Cloud Dream Cult’s cultists and personally planned the illegal crossing this time didn’t even intend to say anything as the purple mist quickly tried to escape into the void.

However, he too had no room to escape as the shadows swept over him. The power of the dream realm could not affect Gu Nan, so he could only watch as his own laws were exhausted.

In just a few short minutes, Gu Nan already had fragments of two greater gods’ Godheads in his hands. The whole process flowed very naturally, as if he’d done this kind of thing countless times before.

On the side, Dream Immortal and Huo Kui exchanged confused glances.

Even if they were only two clones, they were still greater god-level clones. How come they looked just like normal gods at Gu Nan's hands?

After Gu Nan took the two Godheads, he had no intention of returning to the Divine Kingdom, instead appearing before Dream Immortal and Huo Kui.

Huo Kui had already removed his full body golden armor at this time, actually possessing a graceful appearance. He was originally a scholar and took the name "Kui[1]" for himself. He didn’t expect to eventually embark on the path of military enlistment by pure chance.

Seeing Gu Nan's arrival, he took the initiative to say, "Since you already entered Unified Dao, head to Void Grotto Heaven whenever you have time. Yu Lian will arrange for us all to meet."

Huo Kui was the first to speak, having already acknowledged Gu Nan's status as an existence in the same realm as himself.

Gu Nan nodded. At his current level, he could already see these Unified Dao cultivators’ relative power levels. Huo Kui and Dream Immortal were both relatively powerful ones among the Unified Dao group.

In terms of levels, they were probably around Tier 13.

Of course, the same sentence still applied—when it came to Unified Dao Realm, one’s level was often just a reference. Even Song Fei, whose laws weren’t very special, possessed the possibility of defeating them, although that possibility was at most 20% to 30%.

Gu Nan then looked at Dream Immortal. "Are you Lou Wanying's mother?"

The corner of Dream Immortal's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing how to respond for a while. She could only answer in a low voice, "That’s right."

Without another word, Gu Nan swung a punch straight at Dream Immortal’s face.

Dream Immortal's entire body instantly turned illusory, causing Gu Nan's punch to miss, but it still caused damage to her laws.

"How impudent!" A cold snort came from the void, and the frightening power of the dream realm swelled up again, directly covering Gu Nan’s entire Divine Kingdom.

This time, Dream Immortal personally took action. Once she finished her attack, it would probably be a real killing move, enough to erase the consciousness of all living beings inside the Divine Kingdom.

But a golden brilliance slowly emerged, blocking the space between the two. Huo Kui said helplessly, "Gu Nan, please wait a minute… Dream Immortal will not seek revenge on you."

Only then did Gu Nan stop his movements and looked at Huo Kui doubtfully. After confirming the relationship between Dream Immortal and Lou Wanying, of course he had to strike first.

But Huo Kui explained, "We, the Unified Dao cultivators, have had an agreement since long ago. Unified Dao means transcending worldliness and detaching oneself, so all the previous grudges are wiped clean. This is why Song Fei will not pursue the matter of Graceful Heaven… Well, unless they’re mortal enemies."

To think there was such an agreement between Unified Dao powers. Gu Nan had never heard anyone mention it, but he still subconsciously asked, "What’s considered a mortal enemy?"

Huo Kui glanced at him. "Like Zi Luo."
