The trip to the Sacred Catacombs of the Undead seemed uneventful. In fact, Gu Nan's entire trip after reaching the World of Gods was methodically arranged.
He was way too familiar with this place, so familiar that even if some unexpected events occurred, he could still turn the situation around easily with his experience—and of course, power.
So Gu Nan didn’t feel much about Norris's death and soon left the Sacred Catacombs as usual.
On the contrary, Sylvia was troubled ever since the battle. The Norris who once stirred up such great chaos actually died so quietly. This was a little hard for her to accept.
In a sense, Sylvia didn’t seem like a god who lived for tens of thousands of years, but like a normal adventurer with considerable strength.
There was a reason for this.
Compared to the Star Rulers of the Myriad Heavens Universe, who gradually broke away from the category of humans ever since they entered Star Ruler Realm, the gods here clearly seemed more “human.”
Due to the different laws of space, the Legend Ranks here—which correspond to Void Cutter Realm—didn’t have the ability to break through space, so naturally they couldn’t develop a high-and-mighty mentality.
Legend Rank powerhouses living in the mortal world still had to face the aging, illnesses, and deaths of their loved ones and friends. They still had to endure the distance of space, so how could they be high and mighty?
That was why gods here used the expression "divinity."
But in the Myriad Heavens Universe, all the Star Rulers had long since accepted the gap between themselves and mortals. The reason they climbed step by step from Void Cutter Realm to their current position certainly wasn’t to live together with mortals.
When Gu Nan’s group of three stepped out of the Sacred Catacombs, the onlookers outside had almost dispersed.
The reason was also quite simple. Two men in red robes were standing at the entrance, respectfully waiting for the people inside to come out.
As soon as the three showed themselves, the two red-robed men immediately greeted them while performing an odd salute, "Your Esteemed Highness Sylvia, on behalf of My Lord, I would like to send you the sincerest… Eh?"
Their voices faltered mid-sentence, because they realized the one walking at the head of the trio wasn’t Her Excellency the Goddess of Shadows like they expected, but a young man they didn't recognize.
"Mishra’s apostles?" The youth raised his head to glance at the two, then at the symbol on their chests, and wondered, "Don’t even know how to say a greeting?"
Mishra was the God of Minotaurs and one of the subordinate gods of the Beast God. These two were clearly his apostles.
The two men's faces instantly turned beet red. When an apostle representing a god greets another god, that greeting is naturally of the utmost importance.
The two apostles rushed over to pay their respects when they heard that Sylvia appeared in this place, but they didn’t expect to run headfirst into Gu Nan instead.
"W-Who are you? Why do you address My Lord directly by his name?" One of the apostles came back to his senses and instantly glared at Gu Nan furiously.
Compared to the problem of botching a greeting, referring to a god directly by their actual name was naturally a greater offense. It was normal for this apostle to try to use this as an excuse to change the subject.
Gu Nan didn’t even spare the two another glance and walked forward by himself.
The apostle blocking his way was directly grabbed by his hair and tossed to the side, where not even his shadow could be seen anymore.
The other apostle stared blankly at this scene and just watched as the trio walked past him.
The two apostles were just a brief interlude. Gu Nan's journey wasn’t affected by them at all, and he soon returned to the Capital of Blood.
At this stage, Gu Nan basically achieved all his goals for this trip to the World of Gods.
His Evil Value successfully reached 5,000, and in the process of incorporating the vampire clan into the ranks of his apostles, Cain's Left Hand also came in handy. He even discovered an unexpected pleasant surprise along the way.
He experimented to see whether Zhong Die, a native from the Myriad Heavens Universe, could take the player route, creating player-type NPCs that originally couldn’t have possibly existed.
In the following days, Shana, with Gu Nan's full support, quickly ascended to the position of the Raymond clan’s leader, then set off a wave of bloodshed in the Capital of Blood.
Under Shana's leadership, the Raymond clan suddenly became very aggressive, almost annexing the entire Capital of Blood into their sphere of influence and invading the territories of all other forces.
Such a move allowed the Raymond clan to harvest a large amount of resources at the very start, but it also brought down the wrath of the entire public upon them.
A large number of vampires died in the war. The Raymond clan's former glory could no longer be maintained.
But vampires really were a rule-abiding race. Even in such a situation, Shana still maintained considerable control over the clan.
Of course, this was also thanks to her possession of the Ancestor's Staff.
If not for the existence of this divine weapon, with the vampires’ "wanton" acts during this period, they probably would’ve been wiped out by now.
The chaos in the Capital of Blood lasted only half a month or so. Before the God of Iron could react, Gu Nan had Shana throw out the trump card.
"All clansmen, prepare to move," Shana announced from her seat at the head of the round table, overlooking the crowd below.
Her expression was solemn and unperturbed. After using the power of the Ancestor’s Staff, Shana was no longer a weakling among Legend Rank experts. She was now strong enough to force her clansmen into submission.
"Move to where?" The crowd of vampires revealed a stunned look. For a race that accepted a god’s protection, clan migration was not a trivial matter.
"Of course it's… to My Lord's Divine Kingdom." Shana revealed a faint smile and stood up while Gu Nan slowly walked out from behind her.
……
The migration of the Raymond clan went more smoothly than expected.
This race living in the Undead Kingdom really didn’t have much faith to speak of in any god, so much so that they didn’t even hold much loyalty to the gods.
Shana used only one sentence to convince the vast majority of people: "Stay here and be annihilated by the furious enemies, or come with me and enjoy the blessing of the Ancestor’s Staff."
Gu Nan and the others were originally from the Myriad Heavens Universe, so they wouldn’t feel any obstruction from leaving the dimensional wall of the World of Gods. It was the same for re-entering the Myriad Heavens Universe as well.
But the group of vampires were different. They themselves were natives of the World of Gods, so it wasn't too hard to leave this place, but to enter the Myriad Heavens Universe, they would need to cross the dimensional wall as well.
Crossing the dimensional wall would require space-time crystals, which could be smuggled in if the scale was small. However, the Raymond clan had nearly 200 people that needed to enter, which was a bit of a problem.
In fact, Gu Nan and the others were now staying in the gap between the two worlds, staring at the crystalline dimensional wall somewhat speechlessly.
Gu Nan initially didn’t consider this. Although he was a top player, he wasn’t the kind of genius schemer who could predict everything. There would always be times when he overlooked matters that weren’t as important.
"Do you know where to get space-time crystals?" Gu Nan asked Wu Gui, who was next to him. Right now, Wu Gui was the only person nearby he could discuss this with.
Of course it was impossible for Sylvia to follow him all the way here. Little Zhong Die did follow him, but she might not even know what a space-time crystal was.
