Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

"Gu Nan!"

Following Immortal Empress Taisheng's enraged roar, all the power in Imperial Glory Heaven surged, converging upon a single point as it headed for Gu Nan.

Although the rebuilt Imperial Glory Heaven wasn’t as powerful as before, Immortal Empress Taisheng could now exercise 100% control over the astral world.

In such circumstances, Immortal Empress Taisheng’s burst damage was even more powerful than before.

Unfortunately, the current Gu Nan was vastly different from earlier. He didn’t even need to use the Evil God physique. Just the law of shadows alone was enough to wreck the enemy!

Gu Nan casually pointed to the ground, and the shadow sword thousands of meters long was instantly ignited, engulfing the entire palace in flames formed from shadows.

The astral world power Immortal Empress Taisheng just drew out couldn’t withstand the shadow flames at all, being burned to nothing in the blink of an eye and even turning into the shadows’ nourishment.

This was an attack he learned from Austin.

Light and shadow were indeed connected. Although the holy light was extremely tyrannical, shadows could also display similar properties, and its assimilation ability was even stronger than that of the holy light.

So under the furious glare of Immortal Empress Taisheng, who was about to cough up blood, most of the Imperial Glory Heaven she’d worked so hard to rebuild was destroyed by a fire.

This couldn’t be helped. During the initial stages of empire-type astral worlds’ construction, the top priority was naturally concentrating resources to build the political and economic center, so Gu Nan was able to cleanly burn the most important location to the ground.

"Gu Nan, what grudge do you have against me? To destroy my astral world twice…"

"Dream Immortal touched my people, so you’ll have to repay this debt," Gu Nan casually answered without any change in expression while standing in the air, coldly gazing down.

Immortal Empress Taisheng really wanted to cough up blood this time.

Immortal Empress Taisheng had also heard about the fact that a Star Ruler in Cloud Dream Heaven attacked several of Gu Nan's subordinates due to the earlier matter concerning herself, but she didn’t take it seriously.

Because she had a clear conscience—this matter had nothing to do with her at all, so how could anyone pin the blame on her head?

Besides, Gu Nan was already a grand Unified Dao bigshot. Even if he was dissatisfied with this matter, he should still retaliate against Cloud Dream Heaven. What reason would he have to come here?

Even Song Fei, who was famous for his overprotectiveness, had never done such an unreasonable thing before!

But Gu Nan proved through his actions that sorry, the strong really can do whatever they want.

Gu Nan just stood in the raging sea of flames, waiting for Dream Immortal’s arrival. He never thought about negotiations or the like. He only knew to force the enemy out, then beat them into submission.

But to his surprise, the first visitor was not Dream Immortal, but Zi Luo Elder.

After Zi Luo Elder appeared, he first extinguished the shadow flames that Gu Nan casually released, then blocked Immortal Empress Taisheng proactively behind him. He sighed. "Gu Nan, you both ultimately belong to the Heaven-God Alliance, so why don't you stop here this time?"

As his words fell, Immortal Empress Taisheng couldn't help casting him a surprised glance. Everyone knew Gu Nan would never just stop halfway. ‘So Zi Luo Elder’s goal… Is he trying to force Gu Nan to withdraw from the Heaven-God Alliance?’

Immortal Empress Taisheng was also someone who dealt with schemes for many years. She immediately understood Zi Luo Elder’s true intention and was even able to connect more dots…

But no matter what, Gu Nan's withdrawal from the Heaven-God Alliance was something she was happy to see. At least from now on, the Heaven-God Alliance would be able to support her if Gu Nan ever dared to attack her astral world again.

But neither of them anticipated Gu Nan's reaction.

"Sure, the matter this time will no longer concern her." Gu Nan nodded. In any case, everything that should be burned had already been burned, so of course this matter no longer concerned Immortal Empress Taisheng.

Zi Luo Elder also heard his unspoken implication and said with a slightly dark expression, "There can’t be a next time either… If you attack your colleagues in the organization without any reason again, I can only ask you to leave the Heaven-God Alliance."

This old man had also realized that he must not beat around the bush in front of Gu Nan, or else he’d be led into a ditch.

"Alright." Sure enough, Gu Nan was quite straightforward this time. The Heaven-God Alliance no longer held any value to him, so of course he didn’t care about leaving.

Zi Luo Elder fell silent, seemingly considering the matter. He did not give an immediate response.

At this moment, Dream Immortal's figure suddenly descended. With pink lotus flowers under her feet, she walked from the horizon step by step, covering the entire distance in just a short instant.

A long lotus path appeared in the sky, making people feel like they were inside a dream.

"Gu Nan." Dream Immortal's gaze landed on Gu Nan, and her voice seemed to travel from the distant horizon like an illusory dream, "I advise you not to act rashly. Take a closer look at who came this time."

Her steps paused slightly, making way for several figures behind her.

Academic Heaven’s Song Fei, Three Buddha Heaven’s Fa Kong, and Alkaid Heaven’s Huo Kui.

Huo Kui was Dream Immortal's close friend. After he realized this was an ambush against Gu Nan, he did not refuse her invitation and participated.

Nothing more needed to be said about Song Fei; he was already Gu Nan's old "friend". However, he’d already given up on revenge, yet he still showed up here. It was apparent that he had another goal.

So the cause fell onto the last person.

Three Buddha Heaven’s Fa Kong.

Three Buddha Heaven was the only plane among the original Thirteen Heavens with a basis in Buddhism. In a sense, Three Buddha Heaven was also the true holy land of Buddhism, the place that all Buddhist disciples most yearned to enter.

In terms of history and origin, Three Buddha Heaven was actually very ancient. However, this astral world also experienced several ups and downs. The current Three Buddha Heaven was very different from the past.

The astral world was named "Three Buddha", which meant there were three Buddhist ancestors in the astral world when it was established. After changing owners several times, the current Star Ruler was the great monk before Gu Nan.

Monk Fa Kong.

"Amitabha." Monk Fa Kong smiled, as if he was practicing Zen Buddhism, even though beneath his feet were living beings who had just suffered a calamity. "Benefactor Gu has committed too many murders, so it is better to put down the butcher’s knife and live in the Buddha's Pure Land with this humble monk to attain peace."

Although these words were convoluted, the meaning was very clear—he wanted to gather everyone's strength to capture Gu Nan and seal him inside Three Buddha Heaven!

Three Buddha Heaven was precisely such a strange astral world. Its strength was affected by the intensity of the believers’ faith, as well as the evil demons sealed in it.

The more evil demons that were sealed in Three Buddha Heaven and the more powerful they were, the stronger Three Buddha Heaven’s Buddhist power would grow.

And this time, Monk Fa Kong was obviously eyeing the "evil demon" called Gu Nan.

Logically speaking, a guy like Gu Nan who killed so wantonly should have been targeted by Three Buddha Heaven a long time ago. But he was still weak in his early years, so much so that the mighty Three Buddha Heaven felt such a weakling was beneath their notice.

And once Gu Nan truly became famous, his strength shot up too quickly. Before Three Buddha Heaven could react, he was already a Unified Dao powerhouse.

But this only made Fa Kong more interested in him—a Unified Dao "evil demon" had never appeared before!
