Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

When Gu Nan’s group of three saw Zi Luo Elder and Rolensia again, they were already in a frontline plane.

It was a great coincidence that their destination was, once again, Heavenly Province World—of course, it might not actually be a coincidence, and Daoist Lingyang expressed his responsibility for this coincidence.

After they greeted each other, Zi Luo Elder suddenly raised his head.

"Mad Fist is here, it seems that this old man’s earlier show wasn’t in vain." The old man had a smile on his face, seemingly happy with the latest arrival.

Mad Fist referred to the Star Ruler of Martial Sect Realm.

Martial Sect Realm was an old, well-known astral world, and its Star Ruler was named "Mad Fist." It was said that this was his nickname in his early years. After he became a Star Ruler, he simply abandoned his real name and used Mad Fist as his name.

Martial Sect Realm was a very special astral world. Although it was only a Realm Level plane, its Star Ruler Mad Fist's combat power even surpassed that of many Star Rulers of Heaven Level planes.

Unfortunately, Mad Fist was too inattentive to the construction of his astral world, so that his astral world itself was dragging him down.

At the same time, Mad Fist was also one of the core members of the Heaven-God Alliance. He didn’t follow them over earlier, but now he most likely changed his mind.

"What did you say, old man? Didn't we agree to gather at this time? What, did you guys do something again?" After Mad Fist heard Zi Luo Elder's words, he actually looked surprised.

Gu Nan and Rolensia, who were meeting Mad Fist for the first time, couldn’t help being slightly taken aback at his appearance.

Could this person be a true martial arts fanatic, so much so that he didn’t even pay attention to the major events that transpired over the past two days?

"Alright, you can stop pretending." Xue Ren, who was familiar with him, came up and told Gu Nan and Rolensia, "This guy likes to pretend to be a martial arts fanatic, but his head is stuffed to the brim with schemes."

Mad Fist showed a coy smile. "Only those who wholeheartedly want to win are called martial arts fanatics. For the sake of victory, what's wrong with pretending to be a martial arts fanatic?"

"Makes sense." Gu Nan nodded at him.

"Right? Right?" Mad Fist seemed happy that someone else agreed with his view.

Rolensia remained silent, while Zi Luo Elder added, "Let's set off. Let’s leave early and return early."

He looked at Gu Nan and the other two. "After this old man's earlier strike, not many people will dare to openly attack your astral worlds now, but there will still be some small movement."

Now that the Heaven-God Alliance walked into the limelight and even injured Song Fei, they immediately scared the Star Rulers who wanted to beat a drowning dog into setting aside their petty schemes for now.

No one knew whether the Heaven-God Alliance might make a comeback after some time.

If there really was such a day, then today's pleasure may well become tomorrow's bane.

However, as Zi Luo Elder said, although fewer people dared to openly jump out, there would still be people making small moves in secret.

……

Qinghe Realm.

As the largest trade-oriented astral world in the Myriad Heavens, Qinghe Realm, under the leadership of its ruler Zhong Qinghe, had always developed faster than astral worlds of the same level.

After all, if done properly, the potential of commerce was far greater than that of agricultural civilizations, and trade was the best and only way to circulate resources.

On this day, Zhong Qinghe was finishing up one of the Commerce Association’s internal meetings when he was called by a vice president.

"My Lord, I made an appointment with your secretary last week. There are some matters I want to discuss with you,” the vice president said respectfully.

"Old Zhou, why are you still being so polite with me? Take a seat." Zhong Qinghe casually greeted the other party and sat down, acting like they were very close.

Old Zhou showed a grateful look. "Lord, do you still remember that Lu Xinhuan took the Eldest Miss to the World of Gods, and the two of them ended up disappearing together?"

Zhong Qinghe nodded. "Xinhuan has most likely been killed already, what a pity… Little Die’s life soul is still there, indicating that her life is safe, but her whereabouts are unknown."

"We found Eldest Miss," Old Zhou said at once.

Zhong Qinghe raised his head, the gaze he leveled at Old Zhou finally showing some surprise.

Old Zhou cleared his throat and reported, "Our forces in the Capital of Blood have been uprooted. But some of the traces left behind point to… Gu Nan."

"Gu Nan? Now that his astral world has been revealed to the world, you found Little Die inside?" Zhong Qinghe's expression remained unchanged.

"Your Excellency is wise," Old Zhou flattered Zhong Qinghe.

Zhong Qinghe had a calm smile on his face and said as if casually, "Then you guys can go bring her back."

Old Zhou stared blankly, then hurriedly said yes and left, but he failed to notice the strange smile on Zhong Qinghe’s face as he left.

……

Gu Nan and the others passed through the dimensional wall and entered the World of Gods very smoothly. They barely ran into any obstacles.

In reality, no one would try to stop them. Wasn’t it a little too stupid to try stopping a Unified Dao bigshot from returning to the World of Gods?

On the contrary, the moment Rolensia returned to the World of Gods, the original twelve greater gods sensed something at the same time, and a black-haired young girl in a long dress descended in front of them.

"Welcome back, Rolensia." The black-haired maiden seemed to want to give Rolensia a hug, only to be decisively ignored by the latter.

Xue Ren glanced at her and came over to Gu Nan's side. "Who is this one?"

"The incarnation of night, the Goddess of Darkness, Daisy," Gu Nan acted as the commentator and answered with little hesitation.

He knew many people suspected that he was from the World of Gods, and he had no intention of hiding this.

Let them guess. No one will guess the truth anyway.

The Goddess of Darkness Daisy, a top-tier god who ranked towards the front even among the twelve greater gods, personally came to welcome Rolensia’s return today.

In fact, Rolensia’s ascension was definitely a pleasant surprise for the Dark Faction.

Originally, seven of the twelve greater gods already belonged to their faction, and the Light Faction relied entirely on the might of the Ruler of Light and Justice to not fall into a disadvantage in wars.

Now that the Dark Faction had one more person, the situation in the World of Gods was about to change again.

Daisy and Rolensia’s conversation didn’t last long. Certain deeper-level matters wouldn’t be exchanged during an occasion like this.

After separating from Daisy, Rolensia brought Gu Nan and the others back to her Divine Kingdom.

Compared to the Myriad Heavens Universe, where danger lurked everywhere, staying inside an allied greater god’s Divine Kingdom was undoubtedly safe beyond measure.

"You're leaving?" Rolensia looked at Gu Nan with slight surprise. "Your Thirteen Heavens are able to influence some people on this side. It's dangerous for you to head out now."

Gu Nan, however, just revealed a small smile. "I know, but I really do have some matters to attend to."

Faced with Gu Nan's insistence, Rolensia finally nodded. "Sylvia said she wants to visit you sometime."

"I'll be back soon." Gu Nan thought for a moment and added, "As for Sylvia, you can tell her to wait for me in the Dragon Realm."

"Okay."

……

At the same time that his true body arrived in the World of Gods, Gu Nan's saint clone, who was hiding in a small plane, slowly opened his eyes.

"It’s time to start the plan for the player army."

"But before that," Gu Nan's gaze fell back to his own astral world, "there are still some small bugs to deal with."

There, Zhong Die was staring at the two men in black that appeared before her with a bewildered expression.
