Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 603: Lu Wen

Daoist Yellow Springs leisurely stepped inside Jiu Po Heaven, but the Jiu Po facing him looked unusually pale.

"So you really didn’t awaken any abilities. Truly disappointing…" Daoist Yellow Springs shook his head regretfully as he looked down at Jiu Po.

He took the experiment data from Gu Nan's lab. While he was shocked at how the Origin World’s origin was being created, at the same time, he was excited.

Most of the transmigrators from the Origin World had special abilities—he knew this already. He even knew that these abilities were driven by some kind of energy.

It's just that before Gu Nan, Daoist Yellow Springs never knew that this driving force turned out to be the specific Origin World’s origin.

But Gu Nan guessed wrong about one thing. It wasn’t that Zero didn't know she had a system. In fact, she turned on the system when she first transmigrated here, but… Her system later ran out of power.

Every transmigrator brought a part of the origin with them when leaving the Origin World, which was the energy used to activate their golden fingers.

It's just that some people could be self-sufficient, such as Gu Nan and Molag, while others could only spend energy without being able to recharge it, such as Zero, as well as… Daoist Yellow Springs.

Back then, Zero relied on the system to rise, but similarly, her eventual fall was also from losing the system. Daoist Yellow Springs, on the other hand, was much more cautious than her.

"Devouring?" Jiu Po watched the powers of the earth being swallowed bit by bit by the opponent while Daoist Yellow Springs' aura gradually grew.

Jiu Po was certain this power didn’t come from anything Daoist Yellow Springs learned, nor was it any power he was familiar with.

As he devoured a large quantity of laws, Daoist Yellow Springs' power rose steadily, approaching Tier 14 in the blink of an eye.

And since he was directly inside Jiu Po Heaven, Jiu Po couldn’t withdraw his power even if he wanted to. He could only watch his opponent’s power skyrocket.

"That's right." The soaring strength seemed to affect Daoist Yellow Springs' state of mind, making him less calm. "You guys really have to thank Gu Nan. If not for him, how could I devour so wantonly?"

He could sense the land’s power constantly being assimilated into himself, making him feel full of power. Daoist Yellow Springs turned more arrogant, and at the same time, it became harder to hide the smugness in his heart.

He did indeed have a right to be smug because he knew he was destined to be the final winner.

Gu Nan was sent to the Origin World, so everything he did benefitted Daoist Yellow Springs instead, including the secret of Origin World’s origin. No wonder Gu Nan grew so fast. It turned out that he had discovered this secret a long time ago.

‘If I also had enough origin, my growth rate absolutely won’t be much slower than his!’

Ever since Daoist Yellow Springs started cultivating, he’d only ever dared to use his ability cautiously. In the later stages, he didn’t even dare to devour suitable targets for fear that he would run out of energy if he encountered a better target in the future.

But even with such a difficult life, after he became a major Star Ruler, he still used up the world origin he brought along when he transmigrated.

So he resolutely gave up the path of cultivating an astral world and even parted ways with Jiu Po. He stayed in the Origin World for tens of thousands of years just to find a way to recharge his ability.

Daoist Yellow Springs immediately discovered Zero when she appeared but to his regret, Zero's origin was also limited.

More importantly, the Myriad Heavens just underwent a cataclysm back then, and the cultivators’ understanding of world origins was still very superficial. The same was true for Daoist Yellow Springs. He also didn't understand what world origin was back then.

Later, the Snow Mountain Ascetic died too early, and Gu Nan didn’t show any signs of knowing the future, so Daoist Yellow Springs missed both of them—until Molag appeared.

Perhaps because fate had been cruel to him for too long, after Gu Nan took Molag away, Daoist Yellow Springs' fortune finally turned around.

Not only did he benefit from the fruits of Gu Nan’s research, but he also found a way to recharge his ability. It also just so happened that Gu Nan was trapped in the Origin World again, giving him the chance to make a comeback.

"Once I devour Jiu Po and all the Unified Dao cultivators, let’s see who among us is stronger then…" There was a hint of darkness in his eyes.

He witnessed Gu Nan's fight with the greater gods, so he knew the Stigma of Life and Death, the Exile incantation, and more importantly, just how strong Gu Nan was.

But now that he had the ability to devour infinitely, he had enough confidence!

What's more, he also controlled Gu Nan's biggest weakness right now, a man-made weakness…

……

Origin World.

Gu Nan swung his fists tirelessly. Cracks had begun to appear on the dimensional wall, and the progress seemed to be faster than he thought.

If things proceeded smoothly, he would be able to smash a crack through the Origin World in two days at most.

However, a figure appeared in front of him at this moment. To be precise, it appeared in his soul’s senses. The two were clearly facing each other, but they couldn't see each other.

Because what separated them was the strongest thing in the world, the Origin World’s dimensional wall.

"Lu Wen?" Gu Nan's punches kept coming, but his will focused on that side.

The newcomer was Lu Wen.

If there was anyone else in the world besides Gu Nan and Daoist Yellow Springs who might know the Origin World’s location, it could only be Lu Wen. Even Daoist Yellow Springs didn't know the full details of this person who had entered and left the Origin World twice.

But Gu Nan knew that Lu Wen's previous life—Daoist Yin Yang—was a transmigrator who originally came from the Origin World. Later, he entered the Origin World again by reincarnating into the Myriad Stars Civilization and was eventually brought out by Daoist Yellow Springs.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Wen said, "To become a Saint is to trap oneself", but Daoist Yellow Springs knew nothing about this.

"Daoist Yellow Springs' ability is devouring." Lu Wen's voice slowly traveled over, thick with regret, "He devoured Zero’s system, and now he's looking for Jiu Po. Only you can stop him."

Although Gu Nan continued punching out, his expression was slightly taken aback. ‘So it turns out that Daoist Yellow Springs' ability is devouring…’

Gu Nan immediately understood the whole story when he heard that. No wonder the other party was willing to stay near the Origin World for so many years.

And no wonder Lu Wen came to find Gu Nan at this time.

The most frustrated person right now was probably Lu Wen. If Gu Nan, Daoist Yellow Springs, and Lu Wen were all on the same race track, then Lu Wen was undoubtedly already close to the finish line, but he still couldn’t catch up to the person in front, no matter what.

Cultivation was like a race. The first person to reach the finish line could win everything. He could even block the finish line from now on so that those who came after him would never have the chance to take this step.

Transmigrators such as Gu Nan and Daoist Yellow Springs had special powers from the Origin World. They could undoubtedly run faster than others and had a better chance of taking first place.

However, Jiu Po, who had the first-mover advantage, voluntarily withdrew, and Daoist Yellow Springs, Zero, and the others exhausted their origins, which finally led to this situation.

"His power is devouring. If he wins, none of you will survive, right?" Gu Nan smiled as he glanced at Lu Wen, even though he couldn't actually see the other person's face.

"That's right." Lu Wen exhaled heavily. "If not for this, he wouldn't have forced us all to your side."
