Chapter 581: Deadlock

Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom.

Gu Nan's descent was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Boswell himself was only paying attention to Baal. He didnt expect for Gu Nan to visit his own Divine Kingdom.

This wasnt an issue with the gods overlooking something. Rather, no normal person would choose to do this.

Not even the most powerful greater gods could deal with the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom in a short amount of time. Expanding the influence of invading laws took time, and slaughtering the Divine Kingdoms inhabitants took even more time.

After the initial surprise, Boswell quickly calmed down and began to deal with Gu Nan's attack.

He himself didnt show up at all and only used laws to resist Gu Nan's invasion. This Ruler of Ashen Cyan was clearly very experienced. Even with Gu Nan's proficiency, his progress wasnt fast.

Austin and Daisy rushed here shortly after and quickly attacked Gu Nan. Their target was naturally the Stigma of Life and Death.

In essence, the body was affected by the soul, and the Stigma of Life and Death was left directly on Gu Nan's soul, which meant the mark would definitely appear as long as he created a physical body.

And in the Ruler of Ashen Cyans territorywith Austin and Daisy also presentit was impossible for Gu Nan to act only using laws, or else he would be completely suppressed.

He needed to materialize a physical form, but the Stigma of Life and Death was planted on his body. On the other hand, the attackable targets were either protected or difficult to take down quickly. This seemed like a hopeless situation.

But Gu Nan never felt that a hopeless situation existed.

The same time Austin and Daisy descended, Gu Nans figure blurred and appeared directly above Austin's head, raining a punch down without hesitation.

Austin's reaction was no different from before. He completely ignored defense and raised his sword to stab the Stigma of Life and Death.

But Gu Nan didnt choose to dodge this time and punched Austin, just like this. The terrifying force from the Evil God physique instantly destroyed Austin's divine body.

But the moment the holy sword pierced Gu Nans divine body, most of his body suddenly turned into shadows, including his abdomen, where the Stigma of Life and Death was located.

The Stigma of Life and Death was a very incredible thing. It directly affected the soul, so it wouldnt actually disappear even if his body turned into laws.

Even if his entire body transformed into shadows, the stigma would not budge at all; it would still be stabbed by the holy sword.

But Gu Nan handled it very strangely. He turned the body at and below the abdomen into shadows but kept his upper body intact. This caused his soul to naturally shrink and concentrate on his remaining upper body.

As the soul shrunk, the Stigma of Life and Death naturally moved with it, so the holy sword weirdly missed its mark.

After all, Gu Nan was a seasoned player whod fought countless greater gods. Even though it was his first time encountering the Stigma of Life and Death, he immediately discovered its advantages and disadvantages.

The Stigma of Life and Death was undoubtedly very powerful. Although there was a time limit for the forced death feature, the fact that it could directly affect Gu Nans body was already terrifying enough.

But the disadvantage of this kind of stigma was that the strength required to trigger it was dependent on the targets power. In other words, the stronger the target, the stronger the force required to trigger the stigma and injure the opponent's soul.

With Gu Nan's current realm, there were only a few people in the world who could trigger the Stigma of Life and Death on him; even if others hit the mark, it would have no effect.

Gu Nan could also use this characteristic against Austin.

Although Austin had enough power to trigger the mark, he also had to concentrate his power to reach that threshold, so large-scale attacks were out of the question, which gave Gu Nan a chance to dodge.

It was under this series of psychological games that Gu Nan successfully deceived Austin once. Not only did Austin miss the mark, but his divine body was also blasted apart in the process.

Although Austin was able to reconstruct his divine body very quickly, damage done to his Godhead was still damage.

Even Austin couldnt reconstruct his divine body indefinitely. Once his Godhead took too much damage, even his realm might fall.

The three of them were once again at a standstill. Gu Nan's trick of moving the mark also deceived Daisy, causing her attack to fail as well.

The inhabitants of the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom were still being slaughtered rapidly by Gu Nan, but Gu Nan looked at Austin and Daisywhose expressions were as dark as storm cloudsand suddenly smiled.

Then, under the twos flabbergasted gazes, Gu Nan suddenly turned and ran away.

He did not leave the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom, but ran directly with his legs, reaching an incredible speed.

Austin's figure cut through the void, descending in front of Gu Nan with endless holy light, but before he could attack, Gu Nan had already made a sharp turn, and in the blink of an eye, not even his shadow could be seen anymore.

The second shortcoming of the Stigma of Life and Death: How can you hit the stigma when you can't even catch the enemy?

The Evil God physique represented a comprehensive strengthening of the body. There were too many tactics Gu Nan could employ, each of which was different from normal greater god battles, making it hard for Austin and the others to adapt.

"Let's guard the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom and have Boswell come," Austin stopped in his tracks and said to Daisy.

In fact, Daisy also knew what to do even without his instructions. They were all top-tier figures and could naturally make the best decisions.

While Gu Nan was running, the law of shadows constantly eroding the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom seemed to encounter a sudden resistance, and his progress abruptly slowed down.

Because the two laws of light and darkness had already intervened, greatly curbing the shadows' progress and allowing Boswell to free up his hands.

So while Gu Nan was running, a cyan light suddenly rose in front of him, aiming directly for the mark on his abdomen.

This strike was extremely accurate, as if it had predicted all of Gu Nan's movements. The moment the cyan light reached his body, Gu Nan forcibly twisted himself at an angle and faced the green light with his waist.

The cyan light instantly penetrated his waist. It was apparent that Boswell had charged up a large amount of laws in this blow. The force was definitely not low, and it was completely enough to trigger the mark.

Being inside his own Divine Kingdom, Boswell could easily judge Gu Nan's movements and accurately hit the Stigma of Life and Death with his attacks, making him the best choice to deal with Gu Nan.

Similarly, if Gu Nan dared to enter the Holy Light Divine Kingdom, then Austin would definitely be able to hit the stigma easily.

However, in order to do this, Boswell was forced to materialize his divine body. Only when powerful laws converged at a certain point was it possible to launch attacks strong enough to trigger the stigma.

But Gu Nan wasnt afraid. He began to dodge left and right and even had time to interfere with Austin and Daisy to speed up the shadow erosion.

Towards the end, he even ran close to Boswell's materialized divine body, punching him from time to time and throwing the battlefield into disarray.

During this whole process, Boswell failed to hit Gu Nans mark even once.

Gu Nan could make his body smaller, bigger, pure laws, etc. and had plenty of ways to change the stigmas position while the Ruler of Ashen Cyan only had one attackthe Ashen Cyan ray.

His realm wasnt high enough and he was also wounded, so he could only rely on this method to condense a large quantity of laws.

As time passed, the number of inhabitants in the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom continuously dwindled, and the three greater gods began to feel worried.

Chapter 582: Treating the Symptom, Not the Cause

For Divine Kingdom Wars below the greater god level, large-scale slaughter was mainly carried out by mortal troops, but things were different at the greater god level.

As far as the greater gods were concerned, they themselves were already powerful enough to spread their laws throughout most of the world, so they didnt need the mortals help at all.

No matter how seamlessly the mortals could cooperate, how could they compare to the greater gods laws, which act according to the owners wishes?

Gu Nan was doing this right now.

He continuously eroded the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom with his laws. Even with Austin and Daisy joining forces on defense, the number of inhabitants was still decreasing. Some died at Gu Nans hands; some ran away because their faith wasnt all that strong to begin with.

This phenomenon was very normal and had nothing to do with realm or strength. After all, there were too many places to protect; no one could create a perfect defense.

Moreover, the invasion of a Divine Kingdom was not a war. Lost land could still be reclaimed, but it was impossible to resurrect dead inhabitants.

As the Divine Kingdoms residents died one after another, the power of the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom continuously weakened, also reducing Boswells own power.

Although he was still constantly condensing his laws and trying to hit Gu Nan's stigma, the frequent failed attempts bewildered Boswell slightly.

He began to understand why Baal resolutely bet his entire Divine Kingdom earlier just to create a flaw on Gu Nan.

Such an enemy was too hard to deal with!

Even if there was already a major weakness, the other party still used various methods to hide the weakness and relied on his own strengths to counter it.

It was hard to imagine just how despair-inducing a perfect Evil God must be.

As the oldest greater god in the world, the Ruler of Ashen Cyan unexpectedly became distracted for a split second, so at this instant, Gu Nan suddenly punched Boswell!

Boswells divine body exploded, and Austin couldn't help giving a small sigh from the side. He knew that it was no longer possible to save the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom.

Boswell decided to fully devote himself to research many years ago and hadnt paid much attention to combat since.

Although he still had his combat instincts honed over the years, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of such a high-intensity battle at all and was led on a wild goose chase by Gu Nan.

As Austin expected, losing his divine body yet again dealt heavy damage to Boswell, almost causing him to lose control of his Divine Kingdom. The Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom soon fell.

Once again, their attempt failed. No one imagined that Gu Nan could still forcibly eat away at the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom while being imprinted with the Stigma of Life and Death.

But that was also the end of it, because Gu Nan had no chance of destroying the remaining two Divine Kingdoms.

Be it Daisy or Austin, both wielded absolute authority over their Divine Kingdoms and could easily hit the Stigma of Life and Death.

Oh, thats right, there was also a Ruler of War Eugene who still managed to keep an intact Divine Kingdom, but no one had time to care about him right now.

As for Boswell and Baal, theyd already gone to the Light and Darkness Divine Kingdoms respectively.

Now that the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom had already fallen, Austin and Daisy could also stay inside their respective Divine Kingdoms. With the owners there, there was no safer place than those two Divine Kingdoms.

On the other hand, Gu Nan had already withdrawn from the World of Gods after destroying the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom.

As an experienced player who finished the Third Round before, Gu Nan knew very well that the closer the god-slaying journey was to the end, the stronger the enemies defenses.

Of course, these difficulties were nothing for Tier 14 players. However, the Stigma of Life and Death caused some trouble for Gu Nan.

He wasnt in a hurry to continue the invasion after forcibly erasing the Ashen Cyan Divine Kingdom, and finding Fu Cheng was also not a pressing concern.

What he currently needed was a surefire strategy to neutralize the flaw of the Stigma of Life and Deathif it couldnt be completely removed, then even treating the symptom, not the cause, was fine.

And there just happened to be a temporary solution in the Myriad Heavens.

"I want Fa Kong's life," Gu Nan directly stated his goal without any hesitation.

There was no expression on Jiu Po's face. Although part of his laws were directly left behind in the World of Gods, he didnt completely lose his combat effectiveness.

Lu Wen looked at Gu Nan in slight amusement. "Why?"

He also followed Jiu Po over earlier, but he ultimately didn't show himself. His absolute strength was insufficient, and his original intention was to lurk in the shadows for a chance to sneak attack the gods, but he didn't expect to never even get the chance to attack.

Gu Nan answered calmly, "I need an item that can reduce law attack damage. Fa Kong's arra should be able to do this."

A normal cultivator definitely would not use strange descriptions like "item" and "attack damage reduction", but neither of them found it strange when it came to Gu Nan.

Gu Nan wasnt a very normal person to begin with.

"I thought it was because Fa Kong offended you back then, and youre finally planning on taking revenge now." Lu Wen shook his head.

At first, Monk Fa Kong regarded Gu Nan as an evil demon, so he joined forces with Dream Immortal, Huo Kui, and Song Fei to gather the power of four Unified Dao figures to seal Gu Nan.

Ultimately, at the cost of substantial loss to Dream Immortals laws and the destruction of Monk Fa Kong's personal treasured weapon, most of Gu Nan's laws were finally sealed.

But the result was that a short five years later, Gu Nan took his fully-regenerated body to Three Buddha Heaven to retrieve his laws.

"Fa Kong's arra can indeed be used to make a defensive weapon." Jiu Po said, "But do you know how to refine weapons?"

"No," Gu Nan replied matter-of-factly. You powerhouses have all lived for tens of thousands of years. There must be someone among your ranks who can refine weapons, right?"

Lu Wen laughed again and said, "Theres indeed a weapon refinement grandmaster among the Unified Dao cultivators, but he may not necessarily be willing to help you."

"Who?"

"Song Fei."

Gu Nan thought for a moment. "Hell help me."

Three Buddha Heaven.

To be precise, it should be the ruins of Three Buddha Heaven, because it was already wrecked. After the war came to an end, only a few Buddhist disciples gathered here again.

Gu Nan returned from the World of Gods after single-handedly destroying a major Divine Kingdom; his achievements were once again spread throughout the Myriad Heavens.

People personally witnessed his rise from obscurity to fame, to attaining Unified Dao, and then to the top of the world.

With Gu Nan's current strength and status, he was an apex existence even among the Unified Dao bigshots. This could be seen from the fact that his astral world was still perfectly intact.

Monk Fa Kong had a deep understanding of this, so when Gu Nan appeared before him, hed already given in and apologized without even waiting for Gu Nan to speak.

"Amitabha. What happened back then was due to this humble monks impulsiveness." Monk Fa Kong clasped his hands together. "Benefactor"

"There's no need to apologize. I just came to get something from you today." Gu Nan's figure slowly stepped out of the void and stopped in front of Monk Fa Kong.

Monk Fa Kong started to have a bad feeling, but he still forcibly calmed himself. "Benefactor is now fighting powerful enemies for our Myriad Heavens. If you want to borrow some items from this humble monk, please feel free."

"I'm not borrowing it." Gu Nan emphasized, "I'm taking it. I won't give it back to you."

Chapter 583: A New Kindred Soul

The current Monk Fa Kong didnt even have the power to fight back against Gu Nan anymore.

Fa Kong could still block a few punches with his secret technique back when Gu Nan was Tier 12, but he couldn't block even a single punch now.

Even Austin would be killed instantly if a punch hit him, so how could Monk Fa Kong be an exception?

After losing their astral world, Unified Dao cultivators were once again separated from the laws they embodied and would no longer be directly protected by laws, forcing them to only exist in this world with their real bodies.

Once their real body was destroyed, the Unified Dao cultivator would be completely erased from this world.

Monk Fa Kong's head was instantly blown apart. Only then did Gu Nan leisurely walk up and take out a arra from the pool of blood.

As a Unified Dao Realm Buddhist monk, Monk Fa Kong's arra was very strange. It looked simple and old-fashioned, yet it was untainted by even a speck of dust.

It was clearly taken from a pool of blood, but it was not contaminated with any filth, as if nothing in the world could fall on it.

The same time Monk Fa Kong fell down, several figures quickly landed here, led by Yu Lian and Jiu Po.

When a Unified Dao fight occurred, even an instantaneous fluctuation was enough for all Unified Dao powers to notice. At a time when their paranoia was at its highest, any disturbance would attract attention.

Yu Lian stared at Gu Nan silently, not knowing what to say.

Another Unified Dao figure died at Gu Nan's hands. They could have become an important force against the World of Gods and was also the core of the Myriad Heavens.

But it was also impossible for Yu Lian to denounce Gu Nan.

Because the current Gu Nan was no longer an existence they could oppose. Just like when Jiu Po forcibly knocked down Zi Luo Elders cultivation realm, no one could criticize him either.

Gu Nan glanced at the new arrivals a few times and found that Song Fei was also among them, which saved Gu Nan the effort of looking for him.

"Old Song," Gu Nan shouted in that direction.

This strange address made Song Fei feel chills on his back. He didn't know what Gu Nan wanted, but then he saw the latter slowly making his way towards him.

Yu Lian quickly stood in front of Gu Nan. "Its true that Song Fei has offended you before, but"

"Im planning to ask him for help, not beat him up," Gu Nan interrupted her. He tossed the arra into the air a few times. Help me make a defensive item with this arra."

After saying that, Gu Nan began to describe the characteristics of the required item, including its size, defensive range, durability, overall strength, etc.

"Do you understand?" After Gu Nan stated his needs, he looked at Song Fei.

Only then did Song Fei confirm that Gu Nan didnt intend to kill him. He felt a little relieved and said with a strange expression, "Weapon refinement is just a small matter. Its just that this arra was taken from Daoist Friend Fa Kong. Isnt it"

"Ill beat you to death if you don't agree." Gu Nan cracked his neck.

Song Fei swallowed all his words in an instant.

Of course Song Fei ultimately agreed to help refine the item. With his realm and ability, he was fully capable of fulfilling all of Gu Nan's requirements.

However, it wasnt easy to refine a Unified Dao magic weapon, especially one that must withstand attacks from a powerhouse like Austin.

The timeline Song Fei gave was three months to half a year, and that was even after accounting for the fact that Fa Kongs arra would be the main material, which would greatly simplify the refinement process.

If the materials level wasnt already so high that it didnt even require much refining, the normal weapon refining duration for Unified Dao cultivators would be several hundred years or more.

To finish in three short months, it probably couldnt even be called weapon refinement at all. It could only be regarded as polishing the material slightly to make a rough product.

It was like hitting an iron panel a few times with a hammer and then calling it plate armor.

After finishing these matters, Gu Nan headed to another place without delay.

He originally wanted to return to his Divine Kingdom, but an unexpected message from Daoist Yellow Springs forced him to change his destination and head to the Gap World first.

Daoist Yellow Springs rarely sent messages to the outside world. Firstly, he did not want to reveal his location. Secondly, he had no one to communicate with.

But this time, Daoist Yellow Springs made almost no effort to hide it and directly sent the message to Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom. He definitely wouldnt have done such a thing if it wasn't an emergency,

Gu Nan quickly reached the Origin World. Sure enough, he saw Daoist Yellow Springs appear nearby with a somewhat serious and feverish expression.

"I found it," the first sentence that left Daoist Yellow Springs mouth surprised Gu Nan. "I found another person who left the Origin World!"

Jiu Po said he wanted to find a way home, but compared with Daoist Yellow Springswhod been guarding the Origin World for tens of thousands of yearshis obsession clearly paled in comparison.

After tens of thousands of years of perseverance, Daoist Yellow Springs' persistence finally paid off.

After Jiu Po, Lu Wen, Daoist Yellow Springs himself, and Gu Nan, he found another kindred soul from the Origin World.

"Where?" Gu Nan raised his brow and immediately asked.

"The World of Gods."

After hearing these four words, Gu Nan finally understood why Daoist Yellow Springs was so anxious to reveal the news to him.

With the World of Gods current situation, the only person who could freely travel there was himself.

Gu Nan quickly obtained information about this kindred soul from Daoist Yellow Springs.

This fellow transmigrator naturally wasnt Fu Cheng. Even if Fu Cheng didnt remain in the dimensional wall for long and transmigrated immediately after leaving the Origin World, it would still be impossible for her to rise in such a short amount of time.

Daoist Yellow Springs had established his own forces in both worlds, controlling more than one organization that constantly collected all kinds of intelligence for him.

In many of these organizations, even the top management didnt know who their leader was and why they established this organization.

However, for Daoist Yellow Springs to find the kindred soul among the massive population, this persons power shouldnt be too weak.

What he found was a god, a god whod only ascended for a short time but had a very dazzling journey.

A mortal called Molag, who was born in a remote small plane, quickly grew into a true god who lit his divine flame in less than two years.

Every move he made was as if he was standing at the forefront of history, possessing the ability to predict the future. He destroyed opponents one by one extremely smoothly and finally ascended to godhood.

What allowed him to do this?

Gu Nan carefully looked through all the information, refusing to miss any detail. Although they were kindred souls, he knew that there were also differences among kindred souls.

Except for himself, everyone else only knew about history or the future direction of the world and had no other cheat abilities.

Gu Nan himself was precisely the opposite. He brought an Evil God Temple here, but instead of going to the world whose history he knew, he came to the completely unfamiliar Myriad Heavens.

It was hard to say which situation was better. One could only say that each had its own advantages and disadvantages, and it depended on how each transmigrator used these powers.

Chapter 584: Online Game《Myriad Gods》

By relying on his understanding of history, Jiu Po stole a part of the Earth Realm in advance to create his astral world, practically stabilizing his position as the strongest person in the Myriad Heavens, a title he then held for tens of thousands of years.

This continued all the way until Gu Nan appeared. By relying on the powerful Evil God Temple, hed caught up with Jiu Po in merely a hundred years.

If not for the Stigma of Life and Death, he would be able to completely conquer the two major worlds. No one would be able to stop him.

But in comparison, Gu Nan's rise was clearly filled with more danger.

Not having the ability to predict the future meant all the situations he encountered were unpredictable. It wasnt like Gu Nan had never encountered a life-or-death crisis here, and this was even after he tried to avoid life-threatening dangers.

People with the ability to predict history wouldnt experience this. As long as they didnt court death like Zero and had a slightly more cautious personality, they wouldnt encounter too big of a crisis and could simply avoid it in advance.

Gu Nan even suspected that there were actually other transmigrators similar to him, except most of them probably died while trying to grow stronger.

So right now, it was very important to confirm which category Molag fell under.

Gu Nan didn't act rashly. He didn't want to alert the other party for the time being. Instead, he read through Molags background bit by bit, including every step of his rise.

This process wasnt complicated. After all, it had only been a little over two years since Molag's rise, and there were only a few major operations to pay attention to.

Judging from Molag's history, he should be a transmigrator with knowledge of the future similar to Jiu Po and Daoist Yellow Springs, but he didnt seem to have much direct help from the Origin World.

The cause behind every step of Molag's improvement could be seen. Although his actions were highly goal-oriented, one would eventually realize that his goal was always resources that could enhance his power.

On the other hand, there was something about Molag that was incongruous with his environment.

He knew many abilities, moves, and techniques that were not from contemporary times, and he also spoke some words that others couldnt understand.

Perhaps not even Molag himself was aware of this, but they were all faithfully recorded by the intelligence organization under Daoist Yellow Springs and reported to the two currently present.

"Indeed, its very possible that hes a kindred soul." Gu Nan exhaled a long breath. If the other party wasnt a regressorwhich had never appeared beforethen he must undoubtedly come from the Origin World.

"It's not a possibility; it's a certainty." Upon hearing this, Daoist Yellow Springs revealed a strange smile and pointed to the Origin World below. "I found the civilization he came from."

World of Gods.

Molag looked at the brand-new Divine Kingdom and couldn't help letting out a heavy sigh of relief, finally feeling a little more relaxed.

The aesthetics of these natives who lived just before the Cataclysm were so weird that if they were allowed to build structures freely, Molag would not be able to live in them at all.

It had been two years since he transmigrated to this world. Hed grown from a mortal to a god. This speed was already incredibly fast, but Molag still wasnt satisfied.

If this was his previous lifes game, his progress would definitely be faster.

That's right. Molag came from the Origin World. He once played an online game called Myriad Gods, and the backstory in the game was exactly the same as this worlds history.

The point in time when Molag transmigrated to this world was the same as when players first started the game.

The games background at this time was that the seemingly peaceful World of Gods was about to encounter the greatest Cataclysm in history. The terrifying Evil God descended and slaughtered all the greater gods.

Although the two Greater Gods of Light and Darkness finally sealed the Evil God at the cost of their own lives, the World of Gods was still greatly damaged, and everything was in ruins.

Though the most powerful enemy was temporarily sealed, the external enemies were still powerful. All the players needed to work hard to build a homeland that belonged to the gods.

This was the first main story arc for the game after players passed the tutorial period: The Evil God Destroys the World.

By the time Molag transmigrated here, the online game had already entered its seventh arc. It was none other than players forming their own guilds and preparing to counterattack foreign enemies.

Molag was the guild leader of the Sunrise Sunset Guild, one of the three largest player guilds. Hed conquered countless dungeons and gotten many world bosses first kill achievements. He had a very deep understanding of the game.

Myriad Gods was a very interesting game.

Most of the game was set after the Cataclysm, leaving only a small amount of time for players to adapt before the Evil God annihilates the world.

During this period, only the top players were allowed to become gods, and they would undoubtedly become the backbone of the player army, leading the rest of the players forward.

It was precisely because of this setting that Molaga professional playerhad room to use his own abilities instead of seeing the pay to win players take everything.

However, after the Cataclysm, most players would gradually grow into gods, building their homes while engaging in battles with foreign enemies. This was also the origin of the name Myriad Gods.

Of course, battles among players were also essential.

The natural division of the Light and Darkness Factions also divided players into two camps, and there had never been a lack of conflict between them.

But none of that exists anymore

Molag looked at the sky in the distance and sighed softly. Because he was the only player in this world, the important responsibility of saving the world could only be entrusted to him.

It was indeed a very joyous thing to not have to compete with thousands of players for resources, but it was also very difficult to defeat powerful foreign enemies by himself.

But now that it had already come to this, Molag could only do his best, and at the same time, unite all the forces that could be united.

"Then, Your Highness Karina." Molag looked at Karina in front of him with a faint smile on his face. "Are you interested in my proposal?"

Molag approached Karina on his own. It was absolutely necessary to win Karina over to his side. This War Goddess would be the main force opposing foreign invaders in the future.

In fact, the third arc for the game was called the Rise of the God of War.

Molag, who was familiar with history, knew that contact with Karina was one of the main storylines, and if he wanted to receive her help, he must always stay by her side.

There was a lucky person in his previous life who stayed with Karina when the Cataclysm came and successfully dissuaded her from directly facing the Evil God. Ultimately, that player managed to gain the unconditional trust and friendship of the War Goddess.

So in the third arc, this player almost became a true protagonist.

Just as Molag made contact with Karina, what he didn't know was that two figures were slowly descending onto the Origin World, in a civilization called "Tilvence".

"Molag mentioned the word Tilvence several times in conversations with his subordinates. Judging from the context, it should be a place name," Daoist Yellow Springs said with a smile.

"Thats why you found this place." Gu Nan studied the civilization before him. It had just started interstellar travel and was somewhat similar to the past Earth. Soon, a smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 585: The Person Who Witnessed History

The word Tilvence was a transliteration of the name this civilization called itself.

This pronunciation roughly translates to "Three Stars" in the civilizations language. It was because the birthplace of the Tilvence civilization was three habitable planets in close proximity to each other.

Of course, even now, the vast majority of Tilvencenians still lived on these three planets, but as the Federations territory gradually expanded, the three planets lost the absolute status they held back in the day.

Now that Daoist Yellow Springs found Tilvence, it was inevitable that he would launch an investigation into Molag.

However, because the other partys past life was unclear, not much progress had been made on this front. Thus, Daoist Yellow Springs revealed Molags existence to Gu Nan in order to use his power to start investigating Molag in the World of Gods.

Although Gu Nan was more interested in Tilvences local online game, Myriad Gods.

However, these two goals did not conflict, because Gu Nan easily confirmed Molags identity in the process of investigatingMyriad Gods.

Over two years ago, the guild master of the Sunrise Sunset Guild, one of the three largest guilds, suddenly disappeared, which caused an uproar in the gaming community.

It wasn't until someone found his real life identity that they discovered hed died suddenly while playing the game.

The official explanation was that the player whose real name was Zhou Xuan suffered a sudden cardiac arrest due to the influence of intense brainwaves, which led to his death.

After finding information on this guild master, Gu Nan was able to confirm that Zhou Xuan and Molag were indeed the same person without even having to compare their experiences.

Because Zhou Xuan's in-game ID was none other than Molag.

"Gamer?" Daoist Yellow Springs couldn't help looking dumbfounded after Molag's identity was confirmed.

It wasnt that he hadnt searched Tilvence before, but his main focus was on literature, films, and television series. It never even occurred to him to search through games.

On one hand, it was because his understanding of people from the Origin World basically came from Jiu Po and himself. He only thought that they had observed history in some way, but never realized that they might also have personally participated in it.

On the other hand, the online gameMyriad Godswas far from a popular game famous throughout the internet. At most, it only had a group of enthusiastic players, which was incomparable to the Evil God game in Gu Nan's previous life.

After Gu Nan and Daoist Yellow Springs verified Molag's identity, they could confirm many things.

First of all, Zhou Xuan's disappearance and Molag's appearance were basically synchronized in time. Here, Zhou Xuan's disappearance happened more than two years ago.

And then after Zhou Xuan disappeared,Myriad Godsactually did not end its service and was still operating as usual. Right now, the eighth main chapter was almost finished.

"Which means, all of this is the future?" Daoist Yellow Springs slowly flipped through the game storyline fromMyriad Godsand muttered incredulously.

The storyline of Myriad Gods begins when the World of Gods is invaded and the greater gods desperately join forces to resist the foreign Evil God. In the eyes of Daoist Yellow Springs, this was clearly the war between the two worlds that just occurred.

"It's possible." Gu Nan was also looking at this piece of "history", although it felt strange to call events that hadnt happened yet history.

This history was quite accurate.

It claimed the Evil God came to destroy the world and possessed incredible power, which the greater gods could not oppose. In the end, the God of Death sacrificed himself and finally created an opening in the Evil Gods defense. This was also the Evil Gods only weakness.

Although there were many differences between this storyline and reality, the overall history was correct.

And this games backstory had already been announced six or seven years ago, back when it was first launched In other words, the Origin World could indeed predict the future.

"How interesting," Gu Nan remarked with a smile.

There was nothing amazing about predicting the future. Rather than mysterious things like multiple timelines and parallel worlds, Gu Nan believed more in the theory of "Laplaces demon".

If the Origin World could gather enough information on the two worlds, then it was entirely possible to predict the future through inferences.

And the future is never set in stone. Now that additional factors have appeared, the future will inevitably change. In other words, from the moment Gu Nan laid eyes on these documents, the future has already changed.

The subsequent future was also seen by Gu Nan.

When the Evil God descended again, Austin and Daisy finally succeeded in sealing him away at the cost of their lives. This process was not described in detail, and Gu Nan only had the information written here to go off of, which wasnt enough for him to judge certain things.

On the other hand, another puzzling matter was that there were errors in the seventh and eighth main chapters.

If the first six main chapters had considerable basis in reality and could be said to be accurate predictions, then starting from the seventh chapter, the predictions were simply nonsense.

Residents of the Myriad Heavens were truly turned into a group of demons. They had oriental Eastern powers and humanoid forms, but they were not normal humans. This detracted too far from reality.

"We must find this games designer," Gu Nan said as he stood up.

Of course an online game had its operators and developers. The game background and main storyline undoubtedly came from the development team.

Daoist Yellow Springs naturally wasnt opposed, and he was also very interested in the question of "how history was leaked".

In a business park, Huang Haoshan was chewing on a white steamed bun as he hurriedly walked through the company buildings doors.

He had been developing games for Weidong Entertainment for over ten years, having experienced all the ups and downs in the past decade. Now that he was over thirty, hed long since lost his earlier hot-bloodedness.

The current Huang Haoshan just wanted to leech off of the online gameMyriad Godsall the way to the end Although he also knew this was quite unrealistic, he at least hoped thatMyriad Godscould be popular for a few more years.

However, in the end, the lifespan of a game was limited. He already knew this when he started developingMyriad Gods.

On this day, Huang Haoshan came to work as usual, but he found two strangers waiting inside his office when he entered.

The two were dressed in neat suits, and they didn't look like conmen. Huang Haoshan asked hesitantly, "You guys are?"

"Mr. Huang Haoshan?" One of them stood up and looked at him calmly.

For some reason, this persons gaze made Huang Haoshan feel chills on his back. He subconsciously nodded. Im Huang Haoshan, yes. What can I do for you?

"We are from the Sixth Special Operations Division of the Federations Bureau of Investigation." The man said seriously, "We are here today to ask you something."

After a pause, the man continued, "Are you the one in charge of developing the game Myriad Gods?"

Chapter 589: The Secret Behind the Golden Finger

Transmigrator Alliancethese two words were deeply imprinted in Molag's mind.

When Molag walked out of the secure room, what entered his sight was pure white. It seemed like a military base, full of staff hurrying along.

They all wore white lab coats, a style Molag had only seen in his previous life and was definitely not a product of the World of Gods.

Is it really the Transmigrator Alliance? Seeing such a scene, Molag couldn't help believing in "Gu"'s words a little more.

Ever since he transmigrated, nothing in the entire world exceeded his expectations. That was, until he met "Gu" and the Transmigrator Alliance he mentioned.

And just now, "Gu" said hell take me to test my abilities? Could this mean?

"Each transmigrator has their own unique ability," "Gu" smiled and explained, as if he could see what Molag was thinking.

This confirmed Molags suspicions. If so, then his ability should be the skill tree.

"Weve read your information, but it was only when you killed Wolf that we were able to ascertain your identity as a transmigrator." "Gu" looked at Molag. "Your ability seems to allow you to master some unknown skills?"

Molag nodded. "Yes, this is the power from my previous life."

Although he gradually came to believe "Gu"s words, Molag did not lose his basic vigilance and wasnt foolish enough to reveal his true identity.

"Gu" didn't speak anymore. He just took Molag to a laboratory, then said, "Use your ability here. We will measure the basic strength and rank of your ability."

Molag looked at him skeptically. "Abilities can be ranked?"

"Of course." "Gu" laughed involuntarily. "We divide tansmigrators abilities into seven levels according to their strength and type. The highest is S Rank, the lowest is F Rank."

Molag's heart quickened slightly. He asked, "Then what do you think my abilitys rough rank is?"

He knew that since "Gu" brought him here, this person must already have some ideas about his ability. On the other hand, he also planned to use Gus judgment to decide how much of his ability to display.

He received an entire skill tree! If the so-called "ability" referred to ordinary abilities, how could they compare with his?

However, "Gu" just answered flatly, "The strength may reach B Rank, but the ability type is at most E Rank."

Molags eyes couldnt help widening in shock, unable to imagine why his ability evaluation would be so low. Being able to kill Wolf in one strike proved it wasnt weak, right?

Seeing his expression, "Gu" just smiled and explained, "Only abilities that allow one to kill enemies of a higher level can be categorized as A Rank or above. As for the ability type Your ability doesnt help your realm grow at all. This wont get you far."

Molag couldn't help falling silent after hearing this.

He, who had the experience of his previous life, certainly knew the importance of realm.

Dont be fooled by how he could kill Wolf by casually learning a skill. That was because the enemy's level was too low. If it was a Tier 10 opponent, he wouldnt actually have much of an advantage in terms of skills.

From this perspective, it wasnt wrong for "Gu" to rate his ability type as E Rank.

"Then let's get started," Molag said seriously after quashing the arrogance in his heart.

He walked into the lab and let the staff install some test equipment. Then he saw one of them nodding to him, indicating that he could start.

Molag took a deep breath and activated his ability based on their instructions. The skill tree in his mind began to appear, and skill data began to appear on his retina.

Outside the laboratory, Gu Nan stood in front of a computer, watching the changes on it.

The so-called Transmigrator Alliance was naturally a complete lie Gu Nan made up to fool him. In fact, Molag had been in a coma for over a month; Gu Nan didn't wake him up until the arrangements were completed.

This set of equipment came from Milky Way Heaven. Gu Nan personally asked Si Yun for it. It could clearly reflect chemical changes in the target's body and even display its real-time location.

When Molag activated his ability, the screen clearly showed that an unprecedented substance was being secreted rapidly in his brain.

The device itself quickly analyzed the mysterious substances characteristics and found the corresponding substance from the substance table.

"No. 059812What substance is this?" Gu Nan asked while looking at the results.

Sweating profusely, a staff member stood up and rummaged through another table.

If it was a normal substance, the device itself would give the name. But now, it only had a number, indicating that this was a substance that hadnt been completely verified yet.

"Substance code 059, this is" The staff found the meaning of the first half of the number and couldn't help exclaiming, "A specific ratio for a world origin."

"A world origin?" Gu Nan was stunned. He didnt expect for Molag's body to secrete such a thing.

Milky Way Heavens equipment adopted the substance naming convention common to the Myriad Heavens. The 059 half meant it was a world origin, and the 812 behind signified the specific ratio.

World origins werent all that rare. There were so many planes in the Myriad Heavens, and each one had its own world origin.

These origins had certain commonalities, but each had its own special properties. Therefore, fundamentally, each origin had its own specific ratio.

Of course, this subtle difference was meaningless for most people. No matter the allocation ratio, it wouldnt affect the world origins usage.

However, Gu Nan suddenly thought of another possibility Could No. 059812 be the Origin Worlds origin?

Could it be that the world origin is the cause behind transmigrators leaving the Origin World?

These thoughts flashed through Gu Nan's head, and he ordered calmly, "Have him activate his ability again and see if this phenomenon is consistent."

The staff member nodded in agreement.

After several rounds of testing, they finally verified the results.

As long as Molag activated his ability, a world origin would automatically be secreted in his brain, and it was always No. 059812. But the amount of world origin that appeared was determined by the intensity of Molag's ability usage.

Gu Nan stared at this result in thought, then asked, "Can we mix this origin by ourselves?"

"Of course, My Lord." The lab member on the seat smiled. "As long as we know the number, we can mix any type of world origin."

"Good." Gu Nan nodded. "Create this world origin. Have Molag stop his ability, then inject the origin into his head."

This sounded a bit scary, but the researchers who came from labs were long since accustomed to this.

In their eyes, Molag was just a test subject.

Molag, who was in the experimental chamber, was still faithfully cooperating with the experiment. That was, until a syringe descended from the ceiling.

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on

Chapter 590: Origin No. 059812

"What's this for?" Molag raised his head in confusion and stared at the syringe hanging steadily above his head.

He believed that nothing they wanted to test would require a syringe. This was clearly trying to inject something into his body!

"Gu! What on earth are you guys doing?!" Molag started shouting at the research area outside, feeling a little panicked again.

However, the next second, he felt something tighten around his neck as a mechanical arm clamped down around his neck, silencing him.

Molag knew something was wrong and quickly stopped using his skill tree.

In his opinion, if the other party had any ulterior motives towards him, it was most likely due to his special ability. Only by hiding his secret would he have the right to negotiate.

However, while Molag was immobilized, the needle wantonly descended and directly pierced the back of his neck, accurately stabbing between two spinal columns.

Immediately afterwards, Molag felt a chill that quickly traveled up his spine and rushed into his head.

Something horrifying happened.

Molag felt as if his skill tree spiraled completely out of control. Countless rows of text flew across his eyes. His previously meager allocable skill exp shot up at a terrifying speed.

One must know that even after more than two years of accumulation, his total skill exp never surpassed two hundred thousand, but in a mere instant, his skill exp had already exceeded one billion…

"Check what's written on his retina," Gu Nan's voice rang out calmly.

Thanks to the monitoring equipment, none of the changes in Molag's body went undetected.

Gu Nan and the others could clearly see that with the influx of a large amount of origin, some data was directly projected onto Molag's retina.

"Yes!" The researcher hurriedly responded and began to operate the instrument again.

Thus, under Molag's horrified gaze, a small scalpel descended and instantly stabbed into his forehead, accurately severing his pain nerves.

Molag felt his head go cold, and an indescribable fear began to emerge in his heart. He didn't know what exactly these people wanted to do.

But what came next was even scarier. The scalpel cut from the top of his skull to his brow bone.

A mechanical hand reached inside and pulled his skull outward, revealing the internal structure and Gu Nan's target—Molag's left eyeball.

The other robotic hand slowly stretched out, carefully moved the optic nerve to one side, pulled Molag's left eyeball forward, and connected it to the detection device.

With Molag's intact right eye, he could even see that his left eye was still connected to his own nerves, with blood dripping from it, but he could no longer feel pain.

The scene outside the lab room was still peaceful. No one paid any attention to such a trifling operation.

For this experimental subject—a god—such a small injury was nothing at all.

After taking out the eyeball, through analysis of both the eyeball imaging and retina, what Molag's left eye saw quickly appeared in front of Gu Nan.

"Skill tree?" Gu Nan couldn't help raising an eyebrow. He didn't expect this to be Molag's cheat ability.

Gu Nan had also seen《Myriad Gods》before, so of course he recognized it.

"Adjust the rate of origin infusion and see what changes happen to his body while the skill tree is in use."

Skills couldn't be obtained out of thin air; they must be given through Molag's body.

"Understood." The researcher nodded again, but then said, "But My Lord, this may take a while."

……

Under the strict monitoring of high-precision instruments, every change in Molag's body was observed and recorded.

In the pure white lab, there was only the sound of mechanical limbs moving and muscles being sliced, but Molag was still unable to move.

He could only watch as the scalpel descended again and again, continuously cutting open various parts of his body to expose the changes in his muscles and bones.

The testing process didn't last long. Or rather, it was just a skill tree, so there weren't many things to test.

After finding the world origin's ratio, it was only a trivial matter for the researchers to adjust the changes in the skill tree by changing factors such as injection speed and proportion.

It took almost no effort for the researchers to completely master operation of the skill tree, but the world origin's influence on Molag's body was a very strange process.

Thanks to the monitoring equipment, it was possible to observe the world origin transforming via a special method. On one hand, it improved some of Molag's physical capabilities, and on the other hand, it directly stimulated his brain.

This appeared to be how skill-related memories were injected into his brain.

About half an hour later, the researchers could now freely control Molag's skill leveling, so Gu Nan ordered, "Upgrade his Divine Punishment Swordsmanship to Level 15."

Among all of Molag's current skills, the Divine Punishment Swordsmanship he just used had the highest level. In the past, he did not have the luxury to put all his skill exp into one sword skill.

One must know that Molag's skill tree also included many support skills that made daily life easier, which could greatly speed up the construction of his Divine Kingdom.

"Yes, My Lord." The head researcher immediately followed his instructions.

World origin continuously poured in, and Molag saw the skill exp display on his skill tree shooting up again.

In fact, his skill exp was already overflowing; the amount he currently held was so high that not even the skill tree could display it all. However, it wasn't easy to use all this exp on a skill.

Leveling skills was essentially a process of strengthening Molag's body and memory. The speed of strengthening was limited by Molag himself.

"My Lord, the target's physical body is not strong enough. At Level 11, the swordsmanship has already touched upon the Unified Dao Realm, so the upgrade speed is very slow," the researcher immediately reported to Gu Nan.

"How long will it take?" Gu Nan thought for a while and asked.

"It'll take at least half a month to reach Level 11. The subsequent level-ups may be faster."

Going from the mortal level to the greater god level was the most complicated process, but subsequent advancements were less troublesome.

"Go on then," Gu Nan ordered. Under his control, Molag could not put up further resistance, and Gu Nan could also afford to wait half a month.

On the contrary, Molag's experience began to give him some ideas.

Since origin No. 059812 could increase skill exp, could it directly increase his Evil Value as well?

After leaving the lab where Molag was located, Gu Nan walked into another lab room. There was another set of the same equipment, just without Molag.

This was a place Gu Nan prepared for himself.

Gu Nan walked into the lab, and the needle was inserted into Gu Nan's body just like Molag. The same world origin began to enter his body.

With regards to his own body, Gu Nan didn't actually need the help of instruments to see the changes clearly.

But what he didn't expect was that when this specific ratio of world origin entered his body, the first thing to change was not himself, but the Evil God Temple far away in his Divine Kingdom.

Chapter 591: The True Transmigrator

Gu Nan didn't feel much different when world origin No. 059812 entered his body, and his Evil Value also didn't change at all.

But strangely enough, the Evil God Temple connected to Gu Nan's soul starting to shine brightly due to the injection of origin.

Inside his Divine Kingdom, the Evil God Temple had always sat quietly in the center, unaffected by anything.

However, on this day, everyone in the Divine Kingdom could see an astonishing brilliance suddenly explode from the Evil God Temple's location, dyeing the Divine Kingdom's sky a deep blue.

The people who were originally inside the Evil God Temple were directly thrown out by a mysterious force, while the Evil God Temple itself began to shrink rapidly.

In just a minute, the Evil God Temple shrank to a very small state, then left the Divine Kingdom directly and fled towards the void.

"This is…" Red Tail happened to be inside the Divine Kingdom and couldn't help feeling dumbfounded when she saw this.

"I already notified Teacher," Yan Xiaoxiao's voice popped up beside her as her figure also appeared.

Red Tail couldn't help sighing in relief. She knew what kind of existence Yan Xiaoxiao was. Since she was fine, the Divine Kingdom itself shouldn't be greatly affected.

"Has His Lordship responded?" Red Tail asked again.

Yan Xiaoxiao wordlessly shook her head, but there was some inexplicable worry in her eyes. The disappearance of the Evil God Temple made her feel as if something had severed part of the connection between Gu Nan and the Divine Kingdom.

Although the connection between the two was still there, it was no longer as inseparable as before.

……

Gu Nan stood in the lab, staring at the scene before him with an odd expression.

With Gu Nan's power, of course there wouldn't be a limit to the infusion speed, and he was even the one controlling the rate of injection; the equipment only provided him with the origin.

However, while he discovered that his brain was also stimulated when the origin entered his body, the Evil Value panel did not change. Instead, the Evil God Temple mysteriously left the Divine Kingdom and came to a stop in front of him.

At this time, the Evil God Temple appeared small and exquisite. Unlike the behemoth structure that covered thousands of miles in the Divine Kingdom, it was as small as a model and could be held with one hand.

But Gu Nan could see that it was still fully equipped with everything that should be found in the Evil God Temple.

This scene wasn't actually unfamiliar to Gu Nan. He'd seen it while playing the game in his previous life.

Once the player reaches the Third Round, the Evil God Temple will leave the Divine Kingdom and come to the player's side, then completely shatter and become the sacrifice for the player's advancement to the Third Round.

That scene felt like an evil ritual and seemed to symbolize the player breaking away from the Evil God Temple to become a completely independent existence.

Many players who passed the Third Round regarded this scene as a design choice to sublimate the theme of the game, but now, Gu Nan certainly knew that there must be a special meaning behind it.

The current situation was even stranger because Gu Nan hadn't actually reached Tier 15—the critical point before the Third Round—yet, but the Evil God Temple had already appeared in advance.

In addition, although the scene before him was similar to the Third Round, the difference was that all the stats in the Evil God Temple were shooting up crazily, and the Evil Value was also completely overflowing.

The specific world origin did have an effect on Gu Nan, but this effect did not occur on him, affecting the Evil God Temple instead.

This was also the first time that the Evil Value on Gu Nan's person was inconsistent with that shown in the Evil God Temple; there was a disconnect between the two.

"Why?" Doubts appeared in Gu Nan's heart, but he didn't take any further action and just waited for the Evil God Temple's reaction.

The next moment, just as Gu Nan expected, the Evil God Temple shattered and turned into fragments that melted into Gu Nan's body.

The game panel in Gu Nan's mind gradually cracked until it completely shattered, and the Evil Value number in the display also split in half.

Everything was the same as the game's Third Round, but Gu Nan could feel that he had yet to truly reach the Third Round.

'It's still a little short… Is it because I don't have enough Evil Value?'

This current state gave Gu Nan the feeling of having some—but not all—of the characteristics of the Third Round, but the overall amount was still a little short.

But after reaching the Third Round in advance, Gu Nan no longer had Evil Value and even lost the Evil God Temple. Without the Evil God Temple, could slaughtering gods still give Evil Value?

Gu Nan didn't conduct any experiments for the time being and continued injecting the world origin into his body, but it had zero effect.

'What does this mean? Don't tell me that the true transmigrator isn't me, but the Evil God Temple?'

This laughable thought flashed through Gu Nan's mind. It was just a joke at first, but it refused to leave once it appeared.

Because judging from the current situation, this seemed to be the answer closest to the truth.

Molag transmigrated by himself because the skill tree was integrated with him. Or rather, it was an ability that belonged to him, and the skill tree was just a way of displaying it.

Changing the display wouldn't affect anything. It could've been a status panel, a library in his head, or an ability that gave skill points—it didn't matter.

But Gu Nan was slightly different. His power actually came from the Evil God Temple. What he did in the past was to first upgrade the Evil God Temple, and then the Evil God Temple would repay him.

Of course, since the Evil God Temple had no consciousness itself and was completely controlled by Gu Nan, he didn't feel that anything was off.

Until today, when the Evil God Temple shattered due to its own laws, Gu Nan finally understood the difference.

"The world origin is the embodiment of the world's laws. As long as there is enough power of laws, it can create anything, which naturally includes the Evil God Temple."

With Gu Nan's current realm, he already had a very in-depth understanding of the world origin.

The so-called origin could be understood as the basic energy that made up all creation. As long as the outside world gave the blueprint for an object, it could then be created using origin.

Molag's skill tree was such a blueprint. So when he obtained the Origin World's origin, this blueprint was immediately activated and went into effect.

But without the outside world's support, the users would somehow have to produce the Origin World's origin themselves. Fortunately, the blueprints themselves contained ways of generating origin.

The skill tree gained skill exp by killing monsters while the Evil God Temple gained Evil Value through various methods.

As for why these kinds of blueprints would appear… The reason was very simple. These blueprints originally came from inside the Origin World. Perhaps only with the appropriate blueprint would it still work in the outside world.

In this way, perhaps Jiu Po, Daoist Yellow Springs, and the others also had these blueprints, but they might not have been able to activate them?

"One more experiment still needs to be done." After this revelation, Gu Nan immediately thought that more experimental cases were needed.

It's just that it was already too late to look for Fu Cheng now, and it would be hard to get cooperation from Daoist Yellow Springs and Jiu Po. And Lu Wen, a guy who didn't even transmigrate naturally, wouldn't be able to produce the answer…

After eliminating many candidates on the list, Gu Nan suddenly recalled a suitable candidate.

Chapter 592: System?

Gu Nan's research on the Origin World progressed by leaps and bounds ever since he captured Molag.

This was especially true compared to Daoist Yellow Springs—tens of thousands of years of research and observation might not even be as useful as Gu Nan's few hours of experiments.

Of course, this could only illustrate one truth: actual practice is the sole criterion for judging truth.

With such a half-baked idea, Gu Nan quickly descended to the core of the Myriad Heavens, the Inner World created by the second-generation Saint.

The Inner World was a very special existence. It was an artificial construct whose purpose was to serve the entire Myriad Heavens.

There was an even more special fellow in the Inner World. That was the woman who also came from the Origin World but had her consciousness erased, remaining here as a puppet.

"Welcome back, my King," Zero's voice was the same as before, as if it would not change in tens of thousands of years.

Gu Nan raised his head and wordlessly looked at the glowing blue figure. He just calmly walked up to her and slowly poured a bottle of liquid into Zero's body.

This was naturally the mixed Origin World's origin.

As a world origin, the Origin World's origin didn't seem that much different from the outside world's. Moreover, the only difference was the specific ratio; it was still within the substance area code for world origins.

But after it was applied to a transmigrator like Zero, strange changes occurred.

Zero's originally blue body glowed with silver light, and it seemed that some kind of ability was acting beyond her control, producing unexpected effects.

"Absorbing energy… Absorbing energy… Charging complete. The system is activating," a voice rang out in Zero's head.

"Is this… a system?" Gu Nan couldn't help laughing as he watched the silver light finally dim. With Gu Nan's current realm, the system's voice naturally couldn't be hidden from him.

But even though the system was activated, Zero still didn't regain her consciousness. She just looked at Gu Nan again. "I will follow your orders, King."

"Detecting that the host's consciousness has been damaged. Do you want to repair it?" The system's voice sounded again, but Zero seemed like she didn't hear it.

"Answer yes," Gu Nan made the decision for Zero.

"Yes."

"Command confirmed. System is repairing the host's consciousness… Insufficient energy, repair failed."

When Gu Nan heard this, he immediately poured two more test tubes in.

He had nothing to worry about. With his current strength, he didn't fear anyone at all, and only he knew the ratio of the Origin World's origin.

"System is repairing the host's consciousness… System is repairing the host's consciousness… Repair successful!" After a while, a different voice finally came.

Zero's blue energy body suddenly turned solid, becoming a real human. Her dull eyes also turned quick-witted, regarding Gu Nan warily.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

Gu Nan smiled at her. "Do you still remember who you are?"

Zero opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out. Finally, she shook her head in distress.

The so-called system repair was more like formatting her entire person.

"Come with me." Gu Nan shook his head and swept Zero away without another word, taking her to the lab.

A moment later, Zero also suffered the same fate as Molag. Her body was completely immobilized and connected to a wide range of instruments. The changes in her body were faithfully displayed on the screen.

"It's very similar to the first experimental subject, My Lord," the researcher said excitedly. He had never seen such a strange situation before.

Two completely different people, but with similar and powerful abilities.

Compared to Molag, Zero's abilities were undoubtedly more comprehensive and powerful. The system on her body could perform any operation on her body and even forcibly upgrade it.

From their observations, this ability undoubtedly belonged to Zero herself, and the system was more like a product of her own imagination. At the same time, it was also the format by which this ability displayed itself.

During the experiment, through the injection of origin No. 059812, Zero's own genes could even be changed, turning her from a human into a beast, and then back again.

Of course, she could also perfectly transform into someone else.

'In a sense, all of these transmigrators are actually the same type of mental patient,' Gu Nan concluded.

But he knew that he did not belong to this category—because the Evil God Temple really did exist. It even had the ability to create things out of thin air; the equipment he used in earlier years was not fake.

'But I also came from the Origin World, so what's the difference between me and these transmigrators?' Gu Nan frowned again in thought.

He did not doubt the origin of his soul. Not only because of his memory, but also because his body was affected by his soul, causing his current appearance to actually approach that of his previous life.

These details all proved that Gu Nan's soul really did come from Earth, but he did not have a transmigrator's characteristics. To put it another way, the characteristics of a transmigrator that originally should have belonged to him instead appeared on the Evil God Temple.

"Continue supplying her with origin." Gu Nan had some conjectures, though they weren't verified yet. "Adjust her body's composition to laws."

"Yes!" the researcher responded vigorously. He knew what he was doing—he could very well be witnessing the first man-made Unified Dao cultivator!

……

"He took Zero away." Yu Lian's voice sounded a little heavy, "What exactly do you guys want to do?"

Sitting in front of her was Jiu Po, a figure who stood at the top of the Myriad Heavens for a long time. At this time, his face looked a little lonely.

"Previously, we wanted to find a place." Jiu Po smiled helplessly. "But now, not even I know what he wants."

Even though they watched Gu Nan grow into a behemoth at an incredible speed, no one thought he could surpass them, not even Jiu Po himself.

People would always make mistakes when they were also a piece on the board.

Unfortunately, they didn't have much time to respond. In just the blink of an eye, Gu Nan was already invincible.

Yu Lian was quiet for a while. "It's not without reason that he wants Song Fei to make a defensive weapon."

They were all familiar with Gu Nan's style. If it wasn't out of necessity, Gu Nan wouldn't stop at all, let alone require any defensive magic weapon.

The fact that Gu Nan started thinking about defense meant he now had a fatal flaw.

Jiu Po glanced at her. "You want to strike first?"

"This is self-defense!" Yu Lian slammed her hand into the table. "He's a lunatic! If we don't kill him, we'll all die at his hands sooner or later!"

She regretted not believing the Evil God story when Austin came to her door back then.

Of course, it wasn't that she didn't believe in the Evil God's cruelty and bloodthirst. Rather, she didn't believe in the Evil God's power. Anyone who could walk to Unified Dao would think the same.

But now that the facts were before her eyes, she couldn't help but believe it.

Jiu Po stood up and slowly left without expressing his attitude.

"If you lose, you'll die. Have you made up your mind?" His voice reached Yu Lian's ears.

Yu Lian's gaze was calm. "At the very least, I need to try."

Chapter 593: Heart Protector

Back then, Xue Ren was called "the person closest to Unified Dao". Some people even claimed he could enter Unified Dao whenever he wanted.

Although Xue Ren was already dead, he did confirm the second half of that claim. When he wanted to break through to Unified Dao, the obstacles that seemed exceedingly difficult to others couldn't stump him at all.

But now, it seemed that even the former Xue Ren could not get the title of "closest to Unified Dao", because this title could only belong to Zero.

Zero was only one step away from Unified Dao Realm before the second-generation Saint sealed her. But now that Gu Nan reactivated her system, she didn't encounter any setbacks in her breakthrough.

For Zero, as long as she had enough of the Origin World's origin, she could easily advance.

Time passed one day at a time, and Gu Nan stood in the lab, watching Zero and Molag being continuously infused with origin and then strengthened.

However, this process wasn't fast. Due to the two's physical limitations, the infusion speed could not be increased.

This limitation was not dependent on their strength, but on the fact that their "blueprints" were not strong enough and were already operating at max capacity.

A message from Song Fei quickly came, notifying Gu Nan that the defensive magic weapon had been refined and asking him to go to Academic Heaven to pick it up.

So Gu Nan stood up and said to the researcher here, "Move the entire lab into the Divine Kingdom. Continue to inject origin. Notify me immediately if abnormalities occur."

Everyone agreed in unison, and only then did Gu Nan leave the lab, glancing at Zero and Molag before departing.

If everyone who came from the Origin World had a unique "blueprint", then wouldn't the Origin World be worthy of the name "world of cheats"?

Gu Nan shook his head. More examples were needed to prove this.

……

Reconstruction of Academic Heaven also started not long ago, but its progress was clearly faster than Three Buddha Heaven.

Gu Nan stepped foot into Song Fei's residence, and all the barriers, formations, and alarms the latter recently set up again… were triggered.

For a while, the entire Academic Heaven was in disarray. Gu Nan's behavior—which completely lacked any of the dignity expected of a powerhouse—almost made Song Fei's eyes pop out of his head.

Even for a normal Unified Dao cultivator, these things weren't all that impressive and could easily be avoided.

But the next second, these alarms disappeared without a trace. It wasn't that Song Fei voluntarily turned them off. Rather, they were directly stamped out by Gu Nan's foot, leaving no trace behind.

Song Fei secretly rolled his eyes. This wasn't the first time he witnessed Gu Nan's unpredictable behavior, so he just pretended nothing happened. Anyhow, it wasn't a big deal.

"Old Song, you sure are efficient!" Gu Nan calculated the time and found that it took exactly three months—no more and no less—which was the minimum time needed according to Song Fei.

Song Fei was already immune to this form of address. He shook his head and took out a small mirror, handing it to Gu Nan. "This is merely a half-finished product."

"Oh?" Gu Nan studied the round mirror. The bright mirror surface was as smooth as ice, but the frame was covered with mysterious formation runes, exuding a majestic, ancient aura.

This wasn't surprising. Song Fei himself was someone who lived from ancient times to the present.

The mortal world's so-called long-lost "ancient techniques" were actually quite commonplace for these Unified Dao existences; these techniques were not lost at all.

What Gu Nan wanted was a heart protector. Of course, a heart protector didn't necessarily have to protect the heart. For example, Gu Nan originally wanted to use it to protect his abdomen and block attacks to the Stigma of Life and Death.

Although the current him already reached the Third Round, his Evil Value hadn't reached that threshold yet. Not even Gu Nan had seen this kind of bizarre situation before.

So right now, he also didn't know whether the Stigma of Life and Death was still effective on him, but with Gu Nan's usual caution, there was nothing wrong with being prepared.

When Song Fei saw him playing with the round mirror and seemingly satisfied with it, he said with a sigh, "Fa Kong's ?arīra is very powerful, but I can only channel a part of its power."

"If this weapon is to be completely refined… It may take over two hundred years." Song Fei looked at Gu Nan.

Gu Nan didn't doubt that. Taking hundreds of years to refine a magic weapon was perfectly normal for Unified Dao cultivators. On the contrary, completing something in three months was unheard of.

"What are the flaws of this half-finished product?" He asked bluntly.

"The intensity of the attacks it can withstand is not as strong as the finished product. In addition, after withstanding three excessively powerful attacks, the mirror will become worn-out, and you will have to bring it back to me for repair," Song Fei explained while pointing at the mirror.

Gu Nan could make out three long formation lines on the frame at the position Song Fei pointed to, which were clearly connected to the inside of the round mirror.

"That's enough." Gu Nan nodded and casually placed the mirror on his abdomen. Being able to withstand three attacks was enough for him to do a lot of things.

As soon as the mirror was pressed against Gu Nan's body, the three lines began to emit a faint glow, but strangely, the three colors were different.

One black, one white, one green.

The next instant, Gu Nan suddenly raised his head and tore off the mirror that was close to his abdomen. For some reason, the suction force attached to the protective mirror was incredibly strong, even tearing off a section of his flesh along with it.

Although the wound swiftly recovered, Gu Nan had already realized what just happened.

"Yu Lian." Gu Nan raised his head to look at the green light in front of him.

In front of Gu Nan, Song Fei's figure had already disappeared without a trace. In any case, his astral world had just been rebuilt, so he wouldn't feel bad even if it was destroyed again. Only the three different rays of light remained, landing on the ground and turning into three figures.

The green light was none other than Yu Lian herself, and the white and black rays of light were Austin and Daisy, who'd descended from the World of Gods.

In order to deal with Gu Nan, Yu Lian actually chose to join forces with the two greater gods. Consequently, even if they succeeded in killing Gu Nan now, the Myriad Heavens may still face tremendous pressure from the war.

But Yu Lian also knew that if Gu Nan didn't die, then the pressure would not only come from the battlefield, but also from life and death.

In the past, Dream Immortal teamed up with three Unified Dao powers to similarly ambush Gu Nan. Yu Lian's current formation wasn't any weaker.

She not only found two top-tier greater gods, but also took advantage of the defensive magic weapon that Gu Nan wanted to plant a trap and made some changes to the magic weapon in advance.

This heart protector had no defensive function at all. As long as Gu Nan tried to activate it, the mirror would automatically stick to Gu Nan's body and start transmitting power over.

The power transmitted naturally came from Yu Lian and the greater gods.

It could be said that as long as Gu Nan reacted even a tiny bit slower just now, the combined power from the three's attacks would hit the Stigma of Life and Death.

"What a pity," Yu Lian lamented coldly. Failing to hit the stigma during their sneak attack brought both sides back to the same starting line. Now, everything will still be decided by strength.

"The survival of the two worlds depends on today," Austin said heavily.

If Gu Nan couldn't be killed today, that meant the three of them would most likely die here, and the world would fall into the hands of this Evil God from now on.

Chapter 594: Light and Shadow

The safety of both worlds was at stake in this decisive battle!

The three had no intention of saying anything else and attacked Gu Nan simultaneously. The target they chose was very consistent. It was none other than Gu Nan's Stigma of Life and Death!

Having already communicated with Austin and Daisy, Yu Lian certainly also knew the stigma's significance, and her attacks were even fiercer than those two's.

If the two greater gods still had a slim chance of survival even if they lost here, then she would most certainly be doomed to death, possibly even dragging the entire Void Grotto Heaven down with her.

'Void Grotto Heaven, which has been passed down for 100,000 years, must not be destroyed in my hands!'

There was a look of madness in Yu Lian's eyes, but her Daoist techniques remained steadfast without a hint of panic, ever-changing in its unpredictability. A Daoist talisman suddenly turned into a long blade and slashed at the Stigma of Life and Death.

This talisman looked familiar to Gu Nan. The talisman used by Daoist Lingyang in the past to kill the God of Tenebrosity was somewhat similar to this one.

'Sure enough, the inheritance Daoist Lingyang received is related to Void Grotto Heaven.'

To think Gu Nan still had time to indulge in idle thoughts, even at such a critical time. It could only be said that for someone in his realm, the speed of their thoughts was incomprehensibly fast.

Yu Lian's blade was the first to land with inexplicable sharpness and domineering spirit, directly hitting Gu Nan's body.

The Dao was the blade; the blade was the Dao.

Unfortunately, Gu Nan was too perceptive to the rhythm of battle. He simply turned slightly to the side, and the blade containing the Heavenly Dao missed the Stigma of Life and Death and only slashed his waist.

The Blade of Providence sliced off a piece of flesh from Gu Nan's waist, but he recovered instantly. Gu Nan could completely ignore attacks of this level.

But Yu Lian's original intention was simply to force Gu Nan to dodge. Almost as soon as Gu Nan moved, Austin's holy sword headed directly for the stigma.

Though Daisy struck later, her attack arrived first. The law of darkness condensed in the void, and a strange black light appeared directly near the mark.

Unlike Austin and Yu Lian, Daisy's power was more secretive and unfathomable, and also purer.

Even Austin had to rely on the holy sword in order to gather enough power to trigger the stigma, but Daisy could do the same just by materializing laws out of thin air.

In a sense, she was more troublesome and more dangerous than Austin.

A dark vortex appeared, and Gu Nan reacted extremely swiftly. The left side of his body quickly turned into laws, and the position of the Stigma of Life and Death shifted so that the dark vortex only hit the law of shadows.

But after this exchange, Austin had already closed the distance to Gu Nan. The holy sword in his hand turned and thrust directly at the Stigma of Life and Death. Gu Nan finally had no way to dodge.

Be it Yu Lian or Daisy, everything they did was to pave the way for Austin's strike.

Their aim was to force Gu Nan into an unavoidable situation and have Austin deal the final blow!

Gu Nan suddenly froze his body, and his right hand—which hadn't turned into laws—instantly curled into a fist and swung out, hitting Austin hard in the face.

Austin's whole body splintered into pieces, but the holy sword continued its swift trajectory forward, seemingly about to pierce the Stigma of Life and Death.

But right then, Gu Nan suddenly pressed down with one hand and grabbed the holy sword. Although holy flames immediately ignited his body and his palms even showed signs of being assimilated by the holy light, he ultimately managed to block the attack.

Daisy was slightly taken aback. Gu Nan's decisiveness was somewhat beyond her expectations, but her response definitely wasn't slow either. The dark vortex reappeared instantly.

Yu Lian once again activated the Blade of Providence and shouted loudly, "Don't give him a chance to breathe—"

However, before she could finish, she saw Gu Nan's figure flicker, a fist blazing with holy flames suddenly heading for her.

Yu Lian was so startled that she could only raise the Blade of Providence to block. Unfortunately, even Austin couldn't take Gu Nan's punch head-on.

The Blade of Province was smashed to pieces in an instant. Not even the Heavenly Dao could stop Gu Nan. Instead, a golden scale slowly appeared above Yu Lian's head.

Nothing was placed on either end of the scale. Instead, when it appeared, Yu Lian herself was directly taken away and placed on one end of the scale.

The person standing before Gu Nan was suddenly replaced by Austin. It was an Austin who just reconstructed his divine body and appeared in front of Gu Nan.

Figures like Austin wouldn't lose out to anyone else when it came to flexible usage of their powers.

Speaking of which, Gu Nan had already shattered his divine body no less than three or four times, but Austin still seemed completely unaffected and was still surging with power.

He truly earned the title of "King of Gods".

Austin raised his holy sword and blocked Gu Nan for an instant. Then his figure suddenly drifted away, having no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation as he thrust his sword directly at the Stigma of Life and Death.

Austin's swordsmanship style was clearly from the World of Gods, which was mainly focusing on thrusts and stabs. It was as different as can be from the Myriad Heavens' swordsmanship, but it was very effective.

Such a stab might not have been lethal enough in the past, but now, it was an excellent way to trigger the Stigma of Life and Death.

Gu Nan didn't want to verify whether his Third Round was the real thing, so much so that even now, he still hadn't revealed his true power after reaching the Third Round. He was waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to decide the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop.

The opportunity Gu Nan was waiting for soon arrived. Daisy took advantage of Gu Nan's retreat to suddenly make the dark vortex surge with power—her true body finally revealed itself, personally controlling the vortex to raise its power to the max.

She also didn't care about herself, determined to not give Gu Nan a chance to breathe even if she had to lose a divine body in the process.

However, what she didn't expect was that the moment the two made contact, the shadows that seemed to be born from the abyss erupted forth.

Daisy, who'd always been the one devouring others with endless darkness, experienced the feeling of being devoured for the first time. The shadows practically enveloped her completely. The darkness could only peek out an inch from her body, and even then, it would still immediately be assimilated and devoured.

"This is…" She'd never seen a law with such a strange effect before, not even from Austin. This was a completely different level of power.

If the peak of the Second Round was becoming one with a law and becoming the incarnation of that law, then after the Third Round, Gu Nan himself was commanding the law.

He no longer took the place of the law's will, but was instead ordering the law with his own will, able to change it however he wanted.

If Gu Nan was the one complying with the nature of shadows and constantly adjusting himself to adapt to shadows in the earlier realms, then now, he could manifest shadows in any way, shape, or form.

Daisy felt this clearly.

"This isn't shadow! What kind of power is this?!" The Dark Lady roared loudly.

She'd never seen such domineering shadows before. This power of rapid assimilation was practically the same as… Austin's law of light!

It was similarly highly invasive and possessed the power to assimilate almost everything. However, Gu Nan's shadow was more active and powerful.

All this happened in an instant. Austin and Yu Lian didn't even have time to react. They only heard Daisy's shout, after which the law of darkness was instantly annihilated.

Yu Lian stared at this scene blankly and murmured, "It's over…"

Austin's face, which was always as calm as water, had the same ugly expression.

Even if Daisy didn't die from this blow, she would probably still lose most of her combat power.

But what was even more frightening was that no one was capable of opposing the Evil God anymore.

Chapter 595: Destroying Dao

The law of shadows started turning back into Gu Nan's body, which soon returned to its original shape and reappeared in front of Austin and Yu Lian.

He completely destroyed Daisy earlier, and even now, she still hadn't managed to reassemble her divine body. It was apparent that the attack at the law level dealt severe damage to her.

The three's previous strategy of not giving Gu Nan a chance to breathe was completely crushed.

Yu Lian was experiencing a major shock while Austin remained silent. The battle seemed to reach a stalemate.

Gu Nan wasn't in a hurry to attack. He was comparing the differences between his "pseudo-Third Round" and the real Third Round, in terms of both laws and the Evil God physique.

In his past life, Gu Nan transmigrated as soon as he reached the Third Round and never personally experienced how powerful the Third Round was. However, he wasn't the first player to reach the Third Round. At any rate, he'd also seen other people's game videos.

In comparison, it was true that his current state could not be considered the true Third Round. At the very least, the strength of the Evil God physique was far from the Third Round's level. However, his laws did reveal some indication of the Third Round's power.

Now, Gu Nan's shadows could be controlled freely and could even exhibit the properties of other laws. He could change its characteristics with a single thought.

In terms of level, even though he hadn't reached the true Third Round yet, he'd still surpassed Tier 15 slightly, which was enough to suppress Austin, Daisy, and Yu Lian.

The Evil God physique, on the other hand, wasn't much different from its pre-Third Round state, which gave Gu Nan some vague conjectures.

Perhaps at his current stage, the strength of the Evil God physique was no longer determined by level, but by Evil Value.

This phenomenon was inconsistent with his past situation. Perhaps it was because the Evil God Temple shattered?

Gu Nan also didn't know the answer. The current him had gradually embarked on an unprecedented path, so much so that no one in this world even knew what the path after Tier 15 looked like.

For now, Gu Nan would have to explore and develop that path by himself.

Gu Nan's thoughts gradually returned to the present, and his gaze landed on Austin and Yu Lian again.

The next second, shadows surpassing their understanding emerged and quickly eroded the space around the two. Be it holy light or Daoist techniques, they both quickly disintegrated when coming into contact with the shadows.

Under Gu Nan's control, the shadows gained the characteristics of both light and darkness. It could assimilate and devour at the same time, swiftly defeating the enemy while simultaneously strengthening itself. It could be described as "invincible".

But for Austin and Yu Lian, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Daisy was critically wounded by Gu Nan's sudden attack, which greatly reduced the threat they posed to Gu Nan. With merely Austin and Yu Lian working together, it would be almost impossible to hit the Stigma of Life and Death.

Faced with the shadows that were quickly surrounding him, Austin glanced at Yu Lian beside him. When he saw her only barely holding on, he couldn't help sighing in his mind.

Then he waved his holy sword, and an enormous amount of holy light gathered, cutting open a path through the shadows as he tried to return to the World of Gods.

Gu Nan just cast him a glance. Immediately afterwards, his figure flickered slightly and reappeared directly in front of Austin, blocking his way.

The law of shadows was akin to maggots gnawing at bone, wrapping around the holy sword and making it hard for Austin to even swing the sword.

The next instant, Gu Nan's punch reached Austin's chest. Ensnared in shadows, this Greater God of Light couldn't even put up any effective resistance as his body was instantly blown apart.

The current Austin—who used to be the strongest in both worlds—was no longer a match for Gu Nan.

If not for wanting to deal with Austin in the shortest possible time, Gu Nan could even use laws to cause more damage to Austin.

And after Austin was beaten back, Yu Lian was the only one left before Gu Nan.

But once things reached this point, the leader of Void Grotto Heaven actually turned calm.

She simply gave up on resisting and allowed the shadows to capture her. "Gu Nan, I'm willing to hand over the position of Star Ruler of Void Grotto Heaven. You can—"

"Don't need it." Gu Nan stepped forward and clamped a hand around her neck. Countless shadows poured in from her seven orifices, almost assimilating her whole body into shadows.

In a one-on-one fight, Yu Lian would undoubtedly be completely suppressed by Gu Nan.

Her law realm wasn't as high as Gu Nan's to begin with, and none of her Daoist techniques had any effect on Gu Nan. In addition, she was still heavily injured, so it could be said that she had no chance of winning.

Once even Void Grotto Heaven failed to pique Gu Nan's interest, Yu Lian had lost all value.

Gu Nan was determined to kill her this time. He would first clear out all resistance in the Myriad Heavens, then deal with the remaining greater gods. Only then would he be able to conduct his own experiments in peace.

Gathering the power of both worlds to research the secrets of the Origin World—this was Gu Nan's goal.

Yu Lian bore the influx of the law of shadows, unable to use any of her laws. She realized that if things continued like this, even her own laws would probably be washed away.

Having no other alternative, she could only use her power to detonate this body, sending countless fragments of her power through the void in all directions.

Self-detonation was already a very helpless choice for a Unified Dao powerhouse.

Because the disorderly law explosion could only cause a shockwave. The power was far less than that of a normal attack, so it was an extremely inefficient method.

Gu Nan slowly walked out of the void. The shockwave and lingering power from Yu Lian's self-destruction naturally had no effect on him.

He didn't have any intention of delaying and arrived in Void Grotto Heaven in one step. The shadows behind him flared up again, quickly erasing everything in Void Grotto Heaven.

This astral world, which was the core of the Heaven Realm in ancient times and the origin of Daoism in the present, fared no better than a normal astral world in the face of Gu Nan's shadows.

Countless Daoist priests died, and some even died inexplicably while in closed-door cultivation. Even until their deaths, they didn't know what just happened.

Perhaps they were all high and mighty enlightened Daoists once upon a time, but everyone was equal in the face of death.

"Master! Sect Master!" A disciple stumbled into the temple, only to see Yu Lian sitting on the praying mat, staring blankly at the sky.

"Master, the elders…"

"I know." Yu Lian sighed softly. "If it can help the Daoist Sect survive this calamity, anything is fine."

The disciple's eyes couldn't help but redden slightly. "But…"

Of course he knew what the elders were going to do.

An external enemy was invading their astral world, but the Sect Master could only imprison herself here while the elders went forth to plead with the enemy in order to beg for the sect's continued survival…

This was humiliating!

'Is there nobody in this enormous Void Grotto Heaven who can take the lead?'

The Daoist disciple couldn't help but feel the blood all over his body boiling with anger. He wished he could immediately become a Star Ruler and rush out to destroy that powerful enemy.

However, the next second, boundless shadows instantly swept across the entire hall. This disciple couldn't even say anything before his whole person turned into ashes.

But Yu Lian just watched all of this blankly, without any reaction at all, and even allowed the shadows to invade the Daoist temple.

Chapter 596: The Disgrace of All Transmigrators

Gu Nan stood in the sky above Void Grotto Heaven, indifferently gazing at all the living beings below while the shadows continued their onslaught.

Fully destroying Void Grotto Heaven was a plan Gu Nan established long ago, so that decision wouldn't be easily changed by external factors.

He'd always acted without any care for others, and after reaching his current realm, there were even fewer people who could influence him.

But just when Gu Nan was carrying out his plan, three figures slowly floated into the air. They were two men and one woman, all dressed as Daoist priests.

Of the two men, there was one old and one young. The young man had a fair appearance. His height only reached Gu Nan's waist, but the expression on his face was calm and collected, unlike that of a child.

The old man looked like he had one foot in the grave. His whole person looked haggard, as if he was about to die any second.

The woman was even weirder. She was clearly dressed as a simple Daoist nun, and her expression was also calm and solemn, but she had an inexplicable seductive charm. This didn't seem to be something she did intentionally. Rather, she seemed to naturally exude such an aura.

To be honest, it was really rare to see such a Daoist nun in the peaceful Void Grotto Heaven.

The leader of the three was the old man. He came up to Gu Nan and gave a deep bow. "This old Daoist, Shu Huan, greets Your Excellency. Please have mercy."

This was a rare occurrence where Gu Nan didn't directly punch the opponent to death—because the old Daoist priest was holding something in his hand.

It was an open scroll with four names written on it: Jiu Po, Daoist Yellow Springs, Snow Mountain Ascetic, as well as… Gu Nan.

To know of Daoist Yellow Springs' existence and to list him together with Jiu Po and Gu Nan, it was clear that Void Grotto Heaven—the leader of the Myriad Heavens—did indeed know something.

However, even though he didn't attack them, the shadows were still rapidly invading all directions.

The woman couldn't help speaking up hastily, "Your Excellency, please stop. Our Void Grotto Heaven has countless scrolls recording ancient secrets and also has—"

Gu Nan interrupted coldly, "I have no interest in ancient times. What right do those old farts who died in the river of time have to make me waste time learning about them?"

Having a long history has never been a big deal. How powerful Void Grotto Heaven's ancestors were was none of Gu Nan's business.

If not for the four names in Shu Huan's hands, he wouldn't even have given the three a chance to speak.

His eyes shifted to the old Daoist, Shu Huan, and asked in a low voice, "Who is the Snow Mountain Ascetic?"

It was merely a casual question; Gu Nan didn't really care whether the other party answered or not. Of course it would be best if they were willing to answer. But if they weren't willing to answer, then he would simply look for the answer after slaughtering all of Void Grotto Heaven.

However, this Daoist Shu Huan looked very honest and quickly explained, "The Snow Mountain Ascetic died 23,000 years ago. Records of his life, experience, and history are all in Void Grotto Heaven. Your Excellency, please follow this old Daoist to have a look. "

The child-like Daoist priest also spoke at this time, but his voice sounded very aged, carrying the hoarseness of a middle-aged man.

"As long as Your Excellency can allow Void Grotto Heaven a sliver of survival, Yu Lian can be yours to deal with." While he said this, he even glanced at the woman next to him. "The same goes for her older sister, Yu Luo."

Only then did Gu Nan learn that this woman was actually Yu Lian's older sister. While he did hear people mention Yu Lian having a sister before, he'd never seen her.

When Yu Luo heard this, she couldn't help turning around in shock with a somewhat dazed stare filled with bewilderment. Clearly, this was not within the scope of their previous agreement.

Gu Nan's gaze paused on them for a while. The shadows' invasion finally stopped, and all the shadows in the sky withdrew behind Gu Nan.

"Take me to the information on the Snow Mountain Ascetic," Gu Nan told Daoist Shu Huan.

Daoist Shu Huan bowed again, then turned and led Gu Nan away.

……

In the Daoist Sect's grand temple, Gu Nan stood in front of a bookshelf dozens of stories high, flipping through a file in his hand.

This was originally the residence of Daoist Sect's sect master, but now that Yu Lian already lost that position, this temple temporarily belonged to Gu Nan.

It wasn't that he had any interest in the Daoist Sect. It's just that all the information he wanted was here.

After he finished reading one file, Gu Nan casually put it aside. The file automatically floated to a certain location on the bookshelf, and another file appeared out of thin air in Gu Nan's hand.

All these documents were related to the Snow Mountain Ascetic.

The Snow Mountain Ascetic's surname was Wang, but his real name had already been lost in time. The world only knew that he liked to call himself the Snow Mountain Ascetic. He even called his residence the Snow Mountain Residence and established a small sect called the Snow Mountain Sect.

But it was precisely such a person who had a special fondness for "Snow Mountain" who showed amazing foresight as soon as he appeared.

Be it his judgment of situations or his understanding of various martial arts, they were both far superior to that of ordinary people. More importantly, he once made predictions about major events in the Myriad Heavens and even profited from them.

After this kind of behavior happened many times, Void Grotto Heaven began to take special note of him.

In Gu Nan's eyes, this person was clearly the same type of person as Molag. Their behavioral trajectories were too similar.

But the strange thing was that this Snow Mountain Ascetic did not survive. He didn't even get to become a Star Ruler and actually died in a small world.

"He's simply the disgrace of all transmigrators," Gu Nan couldn't help shaking his head and muttering to himself.

But once he read further, Gu Nan also realized that this was not entirely the Snow Mountain Ascetic's fault. It's just that this person was a little too unlucky.

He hadn't even reached Void Cutter Realm yet when he died and wasn't even qualified to leave that small world, but he unexpectedly ran into a fight between two foreign visitors.

The two Star Rulers fought inside that small plane. The battlefield was very close to Snow Mountain Sect, and the Snow Mountain Ascetic died because of this.

'If he's truly a transmigrator with knowledge of history, he should know that it's absolutely impossible for him to oppose Star Rulers at that time.'

'If that's the case, why did he insist on staying in the sect instead of temporarily retreating?' Gu Nan had some doubts in his mind, but he then thought of a possibility.

Sure enough, Daoist Shu Huan piped up from the side, "Although the Snow Mountain Ascetic died in that battle, his Snow Mountain Sect survived and remains there to this day."

"Is there anything strange about it?" Gu Nan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Daoist Shu Huan nodded. "There is a building in the Snow Mountain Sect that has not decayed for over 20,000 years. If Snow Mountain Sect disciples enter it, they will get a special fortuitous encounter."

No matter what the so-called fortuitous encounter was, the mere fact of enduring for 20,000 years was enough to confirm Gu Nan's suspicions.

This power must be from the Origin World's origin!

Not even Jiu Po and Daoist Yellow Springs noticed such a weak Snow Mountain Ascetic, but Void Grotto Heaven did.

Moreover, Void Grotto Heaven didn't even know where Gu Nan and the others came from, let alone the existence of the Origin World. They simply noticed the strange circumstances surrounding these transmigrators and felt these people were connected in some way.

As the leader of the Myriad Heavens, Void Grotto Heaven had an astronomical amount of information. After rigorous analysis and comparison, it wasn't difficult to come up with such a conclusion.

So Gu Nan patted Shu Huan on the shoulder and commented, "Big data sure is reliable."

Chapter 597: Snow Mountain Sect's Fortuitous Encounter

Void Grotto Heaven may not know what big data was, but this didn't stop them from using it.

Their metaphysical technology had sufficient computing power and the means to collect information, so the analysis and organization of such information was a matter of course.

Jiu Po and Daoist Yellow Springs likely also understood this, but they knew the Origin World must be kept a secret, so they didn't want to delegate this part of the work to others.

And it was inevitable for things to slip through the cracks if only one person was trying to analyze big data.

Gu Nan was still checking information on the Snow Mountain Ascetic. He'd always been very patient with people suspected of being transmigrators and refused to overlook any details.

Gu Nan seemed to be the only one left in the entire Daoist temple. It wasn't until he read all the information that he realized Yu Lian was standing in front of him.

At this time, Yu Lian was not wearing her usual Daoist robes. Instead, she had changed into normal clothes, but her eyes were as calm as ever.

Gu Nan stared at her somewhat curiously. It wasn't that he didn't understand Void Grotto Heaven's intentions. Be it a hostage or a trophy, handing over Yu Lian was an inevitable result.

What made Gu Nan curious was that Yu Lian's current aura was very weak. It was far from her normal Tier 14 realm, even having almost fallen below Unified Dao.

This was a very bizarre thing—because even if their astral world was destroyed, the Star Ruler's own realm still wouldn't be greatly affected. They would only lose the source of their power, making it harder to recover.

At the same time, it was almost impossible for a Star Ruler who lost their astral world to advance any further—unless their astral world was rebuilt.

But Void Grotto Heaven was clearly still fine, and Yu Lian was only slightly injured. How could her realm have fallen so much?

As if she saw Gu Nan's question, Yu Lian's lips curled into a faint smile. "My Void Grotto Heaven has been passed down for many generations, and the astral world has always been intact. Do you know where the past Star Rulers went?"

This was indeed quite strange. For a Unified Dao powerhouse, it was almost impossible for the astral world to remain intact while the Star Ruler fell.

Because to kill a Unified Dao cultivator, one must first erase that person's astral world, just like how Austin and the others destroyed God Emperor Heaven before.

Gu Nan thought for a while and guessed, "Could it be that you guys always hand over your Star Ruler every time you can't defeat someone?"

Yu Lian was slightly taken aback, then said speechlessly, "You're the first person in ten thousand years to force the Daoist Sect to hand its sect master over."

As if to prevent Gu Nan from getting any more strange ideas, Yu Lian simply took the initiative to explain, "The Daoist Sect has its own unique inheritance. Since my ancestor, there has never been a Star Ruler who reigned for 100,000 years."

As she spoke, she placed one hand on the bookshelf next to her, and a scroll automatically appeared in her hand in accordance with her will.

Gu Nan took the scroll from Yu Lian and looked down at it. It was actually secured with a golden rope. In the past, this was the highest level of confidentiality, and only the sect master could view it.

Besides the sect master—who had a special method to open it—no one else could open this golden rope.

"Can you open it?" Gu Nan asked Yu Lian, shaking the scroll in his hand.

"I'm no longer the sect master." Yu Lian shook her head.

"Oh," Gu Nan responded, then gave it a casual tug, and the golden rope immediately broke.

Yu Lian was already used to these kinds of situations, but she couldn't help rolling her eyes while subconsciously moving away from Gu Nan.

She was no longer the Star Ruler of Void Grotto Heaven. Perhaps Gu Nan could make her body crumble if he just poked her.

Gu Nan quickly skimmed through the scroll. It was handwritten by one of the Daoist Sect's sect masters, and this sect master was none other than the founder of Void Grotto Heaven.

According to history, this sect master should be the one who took away the Heaven Realm's core when the ancient Three Realms collapsed, which became today's Void Grotto Heaven.

If Gu Nan remembered correctly, his Daoist name should be Miao Xu.

Daoist Miao Xu was a true genius. It only took him two or three hundred years to become a Saint. He also turned the tide of the Myriad Heavens when it was in a crisis and single-handedly created the overall structure of the Myriad Heavens.

From the fragmentation of the Three Realms to the Inner World, to the inheritance of Void Grotto Heaven, his shadow was present in all kinds of events.

But the content in this handwritten scroll was very strange.

He first described in great detail a method of inheritance that could pass on Unified Dao Realm enlightenment, but the price was that this kind of enlightenment would not last long.

It was precisely because of this that every generation of Void Grotto Heaven's sect master couldn't keep that role for longer than a hundred thousand years, and most of them were forced to pass down their positions after ten thousand years.

This method seemed to have quite a few flaws, but considering the difficulty of ascending to Unified Dao, it was already quite good.

It could practically guarantee a Unified Dao cultivator protecting the astral world at all times, unlike some astral worlds that would directly fall out of the ranks of Unified Dao during the inheritance process.

And after such a lengthy explanation came the real content, which was that Daoist Miao Xu himself was going to die soon, and the person who injured him was someone Gu Nan was very familiar with.

It was Jiu Po.

"Jiu Po's destiny is difficult to divine. His fate seems to have appeared out of thin air. He has no past and no future. Future generations must remain wary of him," these were Daoist Miao Xu's exact words.

Gu Nan knew very well how Jiu Po came to be and gradually connected the dots in his head.

He originally thought it would end here, but he didn't expect to see Miao Xu leave such a sentence at the end after a series of emotional laments.

"The loss of the Earth Realm is indeed due to a variable outside of this world. I regret not listening to Junior Martial Brother's words!"

Gu Nan raised his head to look at Yu Lian. "Who's the junior martial brother he's talking about?"

"You know him too." It seemed as if a burden had been taken off of Yu Lian's shoulders, and she fiddled with her hair with a relaxed expression. "Daoist Yin Yang, my great-martial uncle who left the Daoist Sect back then because of the Jiu Po incident. In other words, the current Lu Wen."

Something strange flashed through Gu Nan's eyes, as if he understood something, and he suddenly closed the scroll in his hand.

"Take me to see the small plane where the Snow Mountain Ascetic resided."

……

In a small plane, Gu Nan and Yu Lian walked side by side and stopped in front of a barren mountain.

This was the former stronghold of the Snow Mountain Sect. Of course, it was the same now as well, but there were only small fries left in the sect, which had experienced an extreme decline.

However, although the current Snow Mountain Sect only had a few disciples, there were many tourists. Even the sect's ability to survive for this long was largely thanks to… collecting admission fees.

The strange structure that was still perfectly intact after 20,000 years was very attractive to many cultivators, and some even joined the Snow Mountain Sect just for that fortuitous encounter.

"What kind of fortuitous encounter does that structure provide?" Gu Nan casually asked.

"It varies." Yu Lian clearly also knew a little about this. "Some people received pills, some received weapons or skill manuals, and one person even received a pet spirit beast."

Chapter 598: Last Resort

The Snow Mountain Sect's building was indeed a famous attraction far and wide, attracting many tourists.

However, for the sect that owned such a miraculous building to have neither developed into a major sect nor been coveted by other major sects for 20,000 years, the problems with this were also obvious.

To put it bluntly, most of the items provided by that building were of low quality, and very few even reached Prodigious Realm. Moreover, only three people could use the structure every day, so very few people were tempted.

On the other hand, the Snow Mountain Sect's territory was extremely remote, and there were no developable resources around it, so even the major sects had no interest in this place.

"Looks like this building can't be moved," Gu Nan stood in front of the so-called "Fortuitous Encounters Hall" and said flatly.

Because the rumors about fortuitous encounters were so deeply rooted in the people's hearts, the Snow Mountain Sect simply named this hall the "Fortuitous Encounters Hall".

"That's natural." Yu Lian said with a smile, "With the power level of this small world's inhabitants, they can't even destroy it."

The two were chatting as if nobody else was around. A few tourists occasionally passed by, but they walked straight past Gu Nan and Yu Lian, as if they couldn't see these two at all.

Gu Nan slowly entered the Fortuitous Encounters Hall, only to see a huge statue of a Daoist Venerable in the center, with three praying mats underneath.

Two of them were already turned over, and a person was worshiping respectfully on the last one. After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, a skill manual was placed in front of him.

The person ran out in joy and kept showing off to his martial brothers. Among the fortuitous encounters given by the structure, skill manuals were often the most valuable type.

Gu Nan saw this entire scene, then shook his head slightly and said to Yu Lian, "Let's go."

"You're done looking at it?" This time, it was Yu Lian's turn to be curious. It was actually not her first time setting this, but she couldn't really see anything strange about this whole process.

In fact, this was merely the process of creating items using the laws of the world. Perhaps someone used a special method to pull a small part of the world origin here to randomly create these trivial items.

It might be a formation or some kind of treasure, but obviously, none of these could surprise the grand Star Ruler of Void Grotto Heaven.

Gu Nan just shook his head without replying. He knew far better than Yu Lian what this scene signified.

The world origin used to create these items was unfamiliar to Yu Lian, but Gu Nan was very familiar with it. This was none other than origin No. 059812, from the Origin World.

This Snow Mountain Ascetic also came from the Origin World, but the blueprint he gained from the Origin World was clearly that of a sect.

It was precisely because of this that when the two Star Rulers fought, he had to stay in the sect to defend it and unfortunately became collateral damage.

Perhaps it wasn't that he didn't want to run. Rather, if the sect couldn't survive, then it was useless even if he could run away.

……

Gu Nan sat in front of a desk. On the desk was a piece of paper with a list of names written on it from top to bottom.

Jiu Po, Daoist Yin Yang, Zero, Daoist Yellow Springs, Snow Mountain Ascetic, Lu Wen, Gu Nan, Molag.

This was the list of everyone currently related to the Origin World, sorted by time. It could be said that the appearance of the Snow Mountain Ascetic and Daoist Yin Yang truly filled the gaps in time.

After doing this, Gu Nan drew a red line to connect the two names "Daoist Yin Yang" and "Lu Wen".

Looking at this timeline now, one would find a very interesting pattern—that is, the point in time each name first appeared was when the previous person was about to complete their final transformation.

Daoist Yin Yang appeared right before Jiu Po captured the Earth Realm, but there wasn't much time left before this happened, so he had no time to stop it.

He even took a risk and sent a warning to his senior martial brother, but his senior martial brother, Daoist Miao Xu, did not believe him.

Zero's life was unknown, and Daoist Yellow Springs also appeared before Zero completely disappeared; the time when the Snow Mountain Ascetic appeared was right before Daoist Yellow Springs ascended to Unified Dao.

There was a slight break from this pattern when it came to Lu Wen, because the Snow Mountain Ascetic unfortunately died from unexpected circumstances before he could grow into a powerhouse, so that case could only be ignored.

But then this pattern appeared again. Within a mere hundred years after Gu Nan's appearance, Lu Wen completed his awakening and regained the dual laws of time and space.

And just when Gu Nan was about to "destroy the world as the Evil God", Molag appeared, carrying with him the subsequent "history".

As the transmigrators were found one by one, the pattern of visitors from the Origin World seemed to gradually reveal itself before Gu Nan.

Of course, this wasn't without its contradictions.

For example, according to the previously known information, Lu Wen should have been brought out by Daoist Yellow Springs, but in reality, he was actually within the "quota" from the Origin World.

Another example was that Daoist Yellow Springs claimed to have seen history related to "Jiu Po", but according to the pattern, it was actually Daoist Yin Yang who witnessed this portion of history.

"Yellow Springs is lying," Gu Nan put the pen gently on the table and said to himself after a period of silence. "Lu Wen's past and present lives may have been connected with Yellow Springs long ago."

Gu Nan didn't think Yellow Springs hiding things from him was anything surprising.

For someone like him, who'd been in the gap between the two worlds for tens of thousands of years, it would be stupid if he told Gu Nan everything.

Gu Nan never believed in information easily obtained from other people's mouths. He only believed in the things he found little by little through investigation. If even these things were tampered with, then he could only blame himself for being dumb enough to be fooled.

Looking away from the table, the paper was instantly burned to ashes without leaving any trace, and Gu Nan's figure appeared at the edge of the Myriad Heavens and began to move towards the World of Gods.

He already had all the information he needed to know. Next, he just had to take care of the greater gods.

It just so happened that he also wanted to check if slaughtering gods would still give any Evil Value.

As for Void Grotto Heaven… One had to say that the Daoist Sect's ability to stand for hundreds of thousands of years was not without reason. Its continued survival did not only rely on strength.

Thanks to the information they handed over and the effectiveness they displayed in investigating the Snow Mountain Ascetic, the Daoist Sect gave Gu Nan a reason to let them go.

With such a sect that monitored the world, he might be able to discover some things that he wouldn't otherwise notice.

Of course, if Gu Nan was asked to choose between wisdom or strength, his choice would definitely be the latter.

If he could kill an enemy in one punch, why would he need to use his brain?

……

The World of Gods.

The five remaining greater gods were gathered in the Holy Light Divine Kingdom. Even Daisy and Baal stepped into this Divine Kingdom that they would never have entered in the past.

It could only be said that faced with the threat of the Evil God, it was meaningless to continue the conflict between the two major factions.

"The Evil God is no longer something we can oppose." Austin sighed slightly. "His laws and power… We can't pose a threat to him at all."

"Is there no other way?" Daisy's face was still a little pale. The injuries Gu Nan gave her earlier were so severe that they almost damaged her foundation.

Austin was quiet for a long time. Finally, he turned his attention to the person next to him. "The last resort… You are our last hope."

The person he was staring at was none other than Ruler of War, Eugene.

This Ruler of War, who'd been an invisible existence in the war for a long time, suddenly felt like he just heard "the organization has already decided".

Chapter 599: Exile

Eugene stood in the void. As he watched the Divine Kingdom falling apart before his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a sense of reluctance.

This was his Divine Kingdom.

That's right, the War Divine Kingdom that Gu Nan didn't have time to destroy before was actually personally destroyed by Eugene after disbanding all its personnel.

As the master of this Divine Kingdom, when Eugene decided to destroy his own Divine Kingdom, his efficiency was definitely higher than that of any outsider.

In just the blink of an eye, the War Divine Kingdom was completely destroyed in the void, and the entire plane collapsed.

Eugene also didn't want to do this if he had the choice, but just as Austin said, this was their only chance. If they could kill the Evil God, any sacrifice was worth it.

……

Gu Nan quickly discovered the strange situation here when he arrived at the World of Gods.

He could be said to be very familiar with this world, so he immediately noticed something was wrong as soon as he arrived.

It seemed that a small part of the laws of the entire world was beginning to overlap. If one looked carefully, they would be able to tell the overlapping parts—it was light and darkness.

Gu Nan's gaze landed on the void, where the Holy Light and Darkness Divine Kingdoms were slowly overlapping in a strange way.

A pale golden scale was suspended at the junction of the two major Divine Kingdoms, and Austin and Daisy stood at both ends, pulling the two Divine Kingdoms together.

A sense of danger suddenly emerged in Gu Nan's heart. With his current realm, he was extremely sensitive to potential dangers. It was obvious that these two's current actions could pose a threat to him.

'Run, or put a stop to it?' The instant this thought popped up in Gu Nan's mind, his intuition immediately gave the answer.

'It must be stopped!'

If he delayed any longer, Gu Nan would probably never have the chance to enter the World of Gods again. More importantly, with his current strength, was there any need for caution?

Gu Nan took a step forward, his figure instantly descending in front of Austin and Daisy as he wantonly swung his fist at the golden scale.

He just swung a simple punch like this without bothering to hide his trajectory or changing his attack path; his target was all but written on his face.

But neither Austin nor Daisy could do anything about this punch. Be it laws or their divine bodies, they had no way to block this punch.

No one could stop him, hence why he was invincible.

The punch smashed into the golden scale. This incarnation of the law of "justice" was not affected by the laws of inertia, physics, motion, etc. Though it was hit by such a punch, it still stood firmly in the void.

Gu Nan only felt as if he'd hit the void. Although it made contact, there was no reaction force, which seemed extremely bizarre.

But Gu Nan didn't seem discouraged at all. A sinister smile appeared on his face, and his fists rained down on the golden scale like a storm, each punch powerful enough to shatter the void.

In fact, under this onslaught, no laws could exist near the scale of "justice" anymore, leaving only "justice" struggling to hold on.

Cracks began appearing on the base of the scale, and golden liquid even flowed out from the cracked areas, as if the scale was a living being.

Austin watched all this indifferently, but the speed of fusion accelerated slightly.

While Gu Nan was punching, the law of shadows wasn't idle either. Endless shadows squeezed directly between the two worlds, madly devouring the surrounding light and darkness.

With Gu Nan's current power, no matter holy light or darkness, they could only barely defend themselves in the face of shadows, unable to fight back at all.

But Austin and Daisy completely ignored these and only focused on uniting the two Divine Kingdoms.

After all, Gu Nan came here alone. Even if his strength was already pseudo-Third Round, it was still impossible for his shadows to contend with all the laws accumulated in the two Divine Kingdoms.

Therefore, the matter of trying to separate the two Divine Kingdoms with shadows was just an afterthought. His ultimate goal was to completely destroy the scales of justice in the shortest possible time.

Crack!

Another punch landed, and the golden balance's left arm finally broke. Austin's figure, which was originally just standing there, suddenly shrank and almost fell into the void.

So Austin gave a soft sigh. "In the end, we couldn't finish completely… But it's enough."

Daisy's expression was grave, her face not changing at all. She just slowly raised one arm.

In her hand, the origin of her Divine Kingdom, which represented the ultimate law of darkness, quickly flew inside the Holy Light Divine Kingdom. And likewise, Austin did something similar.

In the past, it was absolutely unimaginable to hand one's origin into the hands of their mortal enemy, who wielded the polar opposite law.

But at this instant, with the help of the scale of justice, light and darkness completed a true exchange for the first time.

At the same time light and darkness mixed together, the golden scale exploded, and the figures of Austin and Daisy disappeared simultaneously, becoming a part of the two Divine Kingdoms.

Gu Nan looked up with a slight frown because he saw that these two major Divine Kingdoms were already riddled with holes, and it was these two who voluntarily destroyed them.

Once the extremely unstable Divine Kingdoms lost the two's active restraint, countless laws would erupt directly in the void.

But such a disorganized explosion of laws obviously could not harm Gu Nan. Moreover, these laws weren't actually lost, but were instead all absorbed into the center.

The golden scale exploded and formed a vortex, as if it wanted to draw all the power inside, while Gu Nan just stood to the side and watched indifferently.

He had a feeling that Austin's arrangements had already been fully completed. No matter where he went, this golden vortex would definitely find him.

In that case, it was better to see what exactly they were trying to do.

Endless light and darkness converged. The golden light in the void shone brightly, then suddenly dimmed, turning into a small scale that imprinted itself directly on Gu Nan's solar plexus.

Gu Nan looked down at it. This scale clearly penetrated his law of shadows, penetrated this body, and was directly imprinted on his soul.

And the technique that Austin and Daisy almost paid their lives to complete would obviously not be simple.

'Speaking of which, seems like I was also sealed by those two at the cost of their lives in the history Molag knew. So… is this the seal?'

Gu Nan casually sliced off the flesh on his chest using a shadow blade, and the golden scale brand fell into his hand.

But he knew that this was merely superficial. The imprint hidden deep in his soul couldn't possibly be removed so easily.

However, the mass of flesh and blood in Gu Nan's hand actually underwent a strange change at this time. It began to gradually fade away until it completely disappeared from Gu Nan's hand.

At the same time that the piece of flesh disappeared, Gu Nan felt that his existence also seemed to fade slightly.

It was an inexplicable feeling, as if he was a little further away from this world, and he began to understand what Austin and Daisy had done.

Chapter 600: Arrangements

Incantation was a type of divine art. The more sublime a god's laws and the more devout their believers, the more they liked to teach this kind of divine art to followers.

Austin's holy light devotees were very good at incantations, so Gu Nan had seen the power of incantations more than once in his past life's game.

If one delved deeper into the principles behind it, incantation was actually a kind of karmic art.

When the user wants to accomplish a specific task, they would pay a price far higher than completing the actual task itself to the world, and then leave the process of completing this task to the world.

In this process, the surplus power paid was actually used for conversion—in essence, the caster was leaving a task they cannot accomplish to the omnipotent laws of the world to complete.

The "Exile" incantation was a very typical one. The caster spends an enormous amount of energy to directly exile a powerful enemy to a different space, making it impossible for the opponent to return.

"Exile" at the mortal level was nothing more than throwing people to other planes. Nobody weaker than gods could travel between planes In the World of Gods, so of course the enemy could no longer return.

At the god level, it also had the effect of spacial imprisonment. The incantation target would be restrained by this spell and must wait until the power their enemy paid becomes exhausted before they can leave.

As for the greater god level… To be precise, as for the Exile incantation activated by the two strongest Greater Gods of Light and Darkness at the cost of their lives, he was afraid no one in history had ever seen it before.

Gu Nan could clearly feel that this exile was a continuous process and that he was being pulled into an unknown territory.

Once the "Exile" was complete, perhaps he would completely disappear from here and go to a place from which he could never return.

As for where he would end up, he was afraid that not even Austin himself knew. The characteristic of incantation was that it only focused on the result and left the process to the world itself.

"How interesting." Gu Nan felt his power constantly fading, but he wasn't worried.

In the end, incantation wasn't invincible. It required an unimaginably vast amount of power to trap Gu Nan.

And Gu Nan could always wait until the incantation was complete, then use his fists to forcibly smash the cage apart.

"Is this the so-called seal?" Gu Nan recalled himself in "history". The end result was still disappearance for both sealing and exile. They were indeed not that different.

But what Gu Nan could be sure of was that the Evil God in that history definitely did not reach the Third Round.

After all, Gu Nan was only able to reach the Third Round by finding the origin ratio from Molag. It was impossible for the person called Molag to exist in that original history.

It was very likely that the Origin World's predictions about history were intermittent. New predictions would emerge every time the previous historical era was about to come to an end.

The two largest Divine Kingdoms collapsed. Austin and Daisy sacrificed themselves while Baal and Boswell were nowhere to be found. Even Eugene had vanished.

The Ruler of War destroyed his own Divine Kingdom and erased all traces of himself from the world, so that not even Gu Nan could find him.

But Gu Nan didn't care about this. What he wanted was to control the two worlds; he didn't care whether Eugene lived or died.

But another discovery worried Gu Nan a little.

After a simple test, Gu Nan found that it was impossible to gain Evil Value from killing gods now.

As Gu Nan initially expected, Evil Value was actually a product of the Evil God Temple. Originally, he controlled the Evil God Temple, so he could use Evil Value to strengthen himself.

But now that the Evil God Temple was gone, of course it was impossible to benefit from killing gods.

Although the current Gu Nan was practically invincible, he was, after all, someone who had seen the true Third Round before, so he still wanted to see if there was a way to get there.

"If I can't take that last step, then I'll set it aside for the time being," Gu Nan quickly made a decision. "Exile will officially take effect in two months at most. I'll take advantage of this time to complete all my arrangements."

……

The plan to conquer the World of Gods proceeded more smoothly than Gu Nan expected. Only the Exile incantation was a bit unexpected.

However, Austin truly had no other alternative than borrowing an incantation's power to bypass Gu Nan's monstrous defense in order to banish the Evil God.

Now, there was no greater god protecting the World of Gods. Even the ones hiding in the dark dared not show themselves, so the Myriad Heavens could fully conquer the World of Gods.

After Gu Nan returned to the Myriad Heavens, he ordered the major Star Rulers to organize a large-scale invasion without hesitation, with the goal of completely bringing the World of Gods under his control.

Version 2.0 of the God Hunting Manual was also launched in passing, and it immediately became the gods' nightmare. A large number of gods were brutally slaughtered.

Because of its role in cultivating Void Cutters, Godheads became a favorite among Star Rulers, especially the Godheads of high-level gods, who rarely died on the battlefield.

Under Gu Nan's orders, even Unified Dao cultivators started participating in the war.

Although most of the Unified Dao figures' astral worlds hadn't been rebuilt yet, their own strength alone was more than sufficient to deal with those who weren't greater gods.

The gods were hunted down and massacred in droves, and their Godheads became the Star Rulers' trophies. Some weak gods were even captured, becoming their enemies' playthings.

All of the possible treatment received by the oppressed under a reign of violence, the World of Gods experienced without fail.

Gu Nan was indifferent to all this. All he wanted was to bring both worlds under his control.

……

In the lab, Gu Nan stared at Molag and Zero calmly.

The two were each placed in a culture tank. A specific ratio of world origin was used as the culture fluid, generously being replaced batch by batch.

This approach was actually quite extravagant. Back when Gu Nan was still Tier 4 or 5, he even had to run to Astral Gate to complete missions just for a small handful of world origin.

But now, just to increase these two's absorption efficiency, the world origin was frequently replaced before they even had a chance to completely absorb the previous batch. Instead, the world origin was treated like a cheap culture fluid. It was simply extravagant to the extreme.

But Gu Nan didn't care much. There were so many planes in the Myriad Heavens, and all those origins were at his disposal. He only needed to transform them into the Origin World's specific ratio.

"How's the situation?" Gu Nan walked to the lab station and asked the researcher there.

The researcher hurriedly handed the observation report to Gu Nan while also reporting on the recent situation. But in fact, the progress here wasn't fast, and it could even be said that there was no progress.

Molag was slightly better. With the continuous origin infusion, his skill level was nevertheless always improving, but Zero was different.

The bottleneck before Unified Dao was too important. Even her system was very inefficient in this regard. This was even the result after an endless supply of origin.

The similarity between the two was that both experiments were unlikely to be completed within two months, and Gu Nan would not be able to see the results before leaving.

"Then I'll wait until I get back." Gu Nan shook his head slightly and disappeared from the lab.

He arrived near the Origin World in one step. His next target was Daoist Yellow Springs. While his power hadn't completely dissipated yet, there were some matters he must confirm.

Chapter 601: Scheme

Daoist Yellow Springs vanished.

Just like his sudden first appearance, this person inexplicably disappeared from the world, as if he'd never existed.

Of course he didn't accurately predict when Gu Nan would arrive. In all likelihood, he already left a long time ago and had no intention of meeting Gu Nan.

'He doesn't know that Void Grotto Heaven has collected so much information. So then, why did he run away?' Gu Nan frowned as he scanned the Origin World's vicinity and confirmed there was no trace of Daoist Yellow Springs.

However, although he didn't know why Daoist Yellow Springs ran away, the fact that the other party needed to avoid Gu Nan at least proved that he wasn't confident in his own strength.

Daoist Yellow Springs knew he would probably die at Gu Nan's hands the next time they met, which was why he escaped in advance.

But the timing of his escape was indeed clever. If a Unified Dao power was determined to hide himself, even Gu Nan would have a hard time finding him.

He wasn't like the greater gods in the Great War. The destroyed Divine Kingdoms still had their owners' lingering energy signatures, so Gu Nan could follow the traces to find the gods' true bodies.

On the other hand, finding someone like Eugene—who destroyed his Divine Kingdom with his own hands without leaving any trace, then hid in a random small plane—would undoubtedly be as difficult as ascending the heavens.

Daoist Yellow Springs didn't even have an astral world to begin with, so he would undoubtedly be even harder to find.

Gu Nan couldn't help frowning slightly once he confirmed that Daoist Yellow Springs was not nearby. He then returned to the Myriad Heavens and ordered a comprehensive search of all major worlds.

The target of the search was expanded from the original Fu Cheng to include Daoist Yellow Springs.

"Sure enough, Daoist Yellow Springs is still alive?" Yu Lian calmly sat beside Gu Nan and helped him pen the upcoming decree.

Although he essentially controlled the two worlds, Gu Nan had never liked to engage in superficial formalities, so Void Grotto Heaven became his spokesperson, and all orders were issued through the Daoist Sect.

As for his own Divine Kingdom, it was still developing steadily, unaffected by these external events.

And Yu Lian, the Daoist Sect's former sect master, seemed to have become Gu Nan's dedicated secretary. Whenever Gu Nan had any request, she needed to use various administrative methods to complete it.

When it came to handling practical matters, not even a hundred Gu Nan's could compare to a single Yu Lian. Not even the Cabinet in his Divine Kingdom could do better than her.

After all, Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom was only that big. Be it the matters that needed to be handled or the external enemies and friends that needed to be contacted, the scale was far from comparable to that of Void Grotto Heaven.

As the leader of the Myriad Heavens, Void Grotto Heaven could influence over 80% of the planes in the Myriad Heavens. This was already a terrifying number.

Now that he was short on time, of course Gu Nan would adopt the most efficient method.

"He's alive." Gu Nan nodded without any intention of hiding it.

Not only did he want to announce the fact that Daoist Yellow Springs was still alive, he also wanted to gather all the information on the other party's appearance, aura, habits, and other data to serve as the basis for the search carried out by the people below.

Some of this information came from Gu Nan himself, and some came from Void Grotto Heaven's archives. This behemoth, which governed the Myriad Heavens for several eras, did have its own foundation.

Under Gu Nan's order, all major organizations were mobilized and devoted a large amount of manpower and resources to the search, but this action obviously could not produce results anytime soon.

Nobody knew whether Fu Cheng had come to the two worlds and where she would appear. It would probably be very difficult to find her quickly.

This was even more true for Daoist Yellow Springs. With his Unified Dao methods, this was destined to be a long-term search.

Of course, the only information Gu Nan withheld about Daoist Yellow Springs was that he'd already ascended to Unified Dao Realm.

If people knew he quietly ascended to Unified Dao already, there was no guarantee that people wouldn't associate him with the gap outside the two worlds. Gu Nan didn't want the Origin World to be exposed just yet.

As the days passed, Gu Nan stayed in the Daoist Sect's temple, occasionally looking through the scrolls on the bookshelf, but more often than not, he was doing experiments.

He was conducting a comprehensive test on his current condition, analyzing and recording everything from the nature and strength of his laws to the various powers of his body.

This naturally also included the Stigma of Life and Death.

Due to the caster's death, the power of the stigma seemed to be gradually fading. Under the erosion of the Evil God physique itself, even the mark's structure was starting to become unstable.

This stigma, which the gods once pinned high hopes on and even gambled away Baal's entire Divine Kingdom to create, was thwarted thanks to Gu Nan's unexpected advancement to the Third Round.

Now, Austin and Daisy had no choice but to sacrifice their lives and pin their hopes on the Exile incantation.

It had to be said that Exile's power was indeed continuously taking effect. After two months, Gu Nan's body had already faded to the point where he almost became an illusion instead of a real existence.

It could be said that Gu Nan's current strength was very weak. The punch he threw right now was far from being able to destroy laws, and it may be similar to his strength at Tier 2.

And even this meager amount of power was rapidly fading.

Of course, conversely, Gu Nan had never been as safe as he was right now. Although his influence on the outside world was weakened, the reverse was also true.

If the outside world wanted to influence him, it would also have to put in thousands of times more power than normal. And with Gu Nan's physical defense, it was almost impossible to hurt the current him.

Yu Lian witnessed the entire Exile process with her own eyes, and because Gu Nan was always leisurely conducting experiments, she was particularly sensitive to the weakening of Gu Nan's power.

She didn't have many questions. After all, she was someone who once stood at the very peak of the Myriad Heavens. Yu Lian had a clear understanding of such an obvious principle.

In Yu Lian's eyes, Gu Nan seemed to be constantly transporting his body to a specified place.

But why this process was so difficult was something Yu Lian couldn't understand.

On this day, in a rare occurrence, Gu Nan did not do anything. He just sat quietly in the Daoist temple, waiting for Exile to finally complete its incantation.

He was already very, very far away from this world, so far away that even if his power wanted to descend here, it could only show a very weak partial effect.

However, at this moment, a message appeared on the table of the Daoist temple.

Yu Lian, who had always been standing behind Gu Nan, was slightly startled and quickly went forward to pick up the document and hand it to Gu Nan. In the last few days, Gu Nan had begun to have difficulty touching even physical objects.

If Gu Nan were to try picking it up himself, his hand might go right through the paper.

Of course, this also contained a bit of selfishness on Yu Lian's part.

A piece of news suddenly came through at such a critical moment. Yu Lian would never believe it to be a coincidence, so she wanted to see what was written in it.

Thus, she saw the message on the paper. It was very brief and could even be summarized in one sentence:

"Daoist Yellow Springs appeared, displaying Unified Dao Realm power, and stole Zero from the lab."

(f)reew𝒆(b)novel.𝗰𝗼𝐦

Chapter 602: Yellow Springs

Yu Lian stared at this sentence blankly. Only after a while did she turn back to look at Gu Nan. She suddenly felt that even though she was once the master of Void Grotto Heaven, there were still many things in this world that she didn't understand.

Daoist Yellow Springs actually turned out to be a Unified Dao cultivator, and Gu Nan took Zero away to put her in a secret lab, but now, she was kidnapped by Daoist Yellow Springs.

'What does he want Zero for? What secrets does Zero hold?'

'What is the connection between Jiu Po, Yellow Springs, and Gu Nan?'

These thoughts flashed through her head for an instant, but then she shook her head, unable to help laughing. No matter what the answer was, it had nothing to do with her. She was just a prisoner now.

"I don't have much time." Gu Nan shifted his gaze away from the information to look at Yu Lian. "I'll give Void Grotto Heaven back to you. Block Jiu Po and Lu Wen for me."

Yu Lian suddenly looked up and saw that Gu Nan had placed a Daoist crown in front of her.

It was absolutely impossible for Gu Nan to do such a thing with his current strength, which meant he was already prepared for this long ago and was expecting such a situation.

Yu Lian tore her gaze away with some difficulty, preventing herself from looking at the Daoist crown. "The sect master position is decided by the Daoist Sect."

"You know it too. The protection magic on this isn't worth anything to me." Gu Nan curled his lips disdainfully. "Take it, and you will be the only Star Ruler of Void Grotto Heaven from now on."

Yu Lian gritted her teeth. She knew Gu Nan was implying that since the inheritance had already been destroyed, even if she didn't take it, she would at most just be giving her position to someone else.

Yu Lian fell silent for a while. "Why me?"

"You've seen my power, so you won't dare betray me." Gu Nan said with a smile, "I will be back."

……

When Gu Nan next opened his eyes, he was already in an unfamiliar region.

The power of Exile gradually pulled his body away from the main world. It wasn't until this process was completely finished that he truly arrived at this new place.

But it couldn't really be said to be new, because this was actually a place Gu Nan was very familiar with—the Origin World.

The power of "Exile" ultimately sent Gu Nan inside the Origin World. It wasn't like Gu Nan hadn't considered this possibility before, so he wasn't too surprised at this time.

After all, if there was any place in the world capable of imprisoning Gu Nan, come to think of it, it could only be the Origin World.

Gu Nan's original idea was to see if he could enter the Origin World through this, then smash the Origin World's dimensional wall from the inside.

But before Gu Nan could respond, he discovered that the dimensional wall was extending automatically, gradually covering his body.

This scene was just like when Fu Cheng was taken away, but this time, the dimensional wall wasn't taking him away, but imprisoning him.

This was the aftermath of Exile trying to imprison Gu Nan as much as possible.

Gu Nan's eyes moved slightly, and the Third Round law of shadows gathered on his fist as he threw a hard punch at the dimensional wall twisting around him.

A silent impact shook the void. Facing Gu Nan's Third Round punch, the Origin World's dimensional wall finally had a reaction.

The dimensional wall seemed to have been hit by a huge force, and the entire wall vibrated nonstop. The shock even spread outwards continuously.

"It's effective!" Gu Nan perked up. After finally seeing an effect, he immediately threw out several more punches and continued to hit the same spot on the dimensional wall.

The dimensional wall knew how to extend by itself, so it clearly had an instinctive will, but it was still early to say that it had sentience, so it could only allow Gu Nan to rain down attacks.

As Gu Nan's onslaught continued, the vibrations on the dimensional wall continuously intensified, but it didn't seem to show any signs of breaking yet.

But Gu Nan wasn't in a hurry. He wasn't short on time right now. It wasn't a big deal even if he had to stay here for ten or twenty years.

However, Daoist Yellow Springs' puzzling behavior right before Gu Nan disappeared made him suspicious.

Perhaps this mysterious fellow's understanding of the Origin World was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. In terms of acting skills, characters at this level wouldn't lose to anyone.

……

Time slowly passed, and Gu Nan persisted in his task of destroying the dimensional wall, making slow but steady progress.

However, other events were taking place in the outside world.

The Myriad Heavens.

Daoist Yellow Springs stood before Jiu Po with a faint smile on his face, just like countless years ago. The two of them seemed to have returned to the day they first parted ways.

Jiu Po chose to stay behind in the Myriad Heavens, so he became the most powerful Star Ruler in the Myriad Heavens. Daoist Yellow Springs chose to search for the Origin World, and he did indeed find it.

Until this day, he finally returned because he was already confident he could face Jiu Po.

Jiu Po stood in his own astral world. The earthen veins' power bore down on his opponent while Daoist Yellow Springs just stood in the air, accepting the leylines' baptism.

Not even his Daoist robe was affected. No external power could reach him, much less hurt him.

"Is this the power of the Origin World?" No emotion could be seen from Jiu Po's face. He just stared at Daoist Yellow Springs.

"That's right. Speaking of which, I need to thank Gu Nan. He actually discovered the Origin World's origin and even discovered Zero's secret…" Daoist Yellow Springs couldn't help bursting into laughter after saying this.

"And now." His smile faded as he continued calmly, "All the fruits of his labor are mine."

"People who came from the Origin World all have some mysterious abilities. It's just that we haven't been able to activate them?" Jiu Po looked at the laughing opponent and asked thoughtfully.

"Not me." Daoist Yellow Springs shook his head. "I am the first person to have an ability, but you guys just didn't know about it."

There was a strange look in Jiu Po's eyes, but then he smiled again. "No one has noticed for so many years. You've really hidden it well."

Daoist Yellow Springs looked at Jiu Po with a sneer. "Want to know why? Because my ability… is devouring!"

……

Yu Lian wore a Daoist crown on her head and sat in Void Grotto Heaven's temple with an indifferent expression. Below her were the higher ups of Daoist Sect.

"Daoist Yellow Springs appeared in Jiu Po Heaven. We suspect he fought Jiu Po. After that, their current whereabouts are unknown—"

"What I want is the outcome," Yu Lian interrupted her subordinate.

The person paused for a moment, then whispered, "The outcome… is still unknown."

Yu Lian fell silent, and the entire temple also fell silent. It wasn't until a long time later that she asked, "What did you find in Gu Nan's lab?"

"They're raising two people using world origin. We found the partial experiment records they left behind," the man answered and handed over the records.

But his expression looked very strange.

Yu Lian soon knew why his expression looked odd, because what was written in the records was too shocking.

They didn't even bother to cover up such important information and just wrote it down for everyone to see?

"Origin World…" Yu Lian heard this term for the first time and stood up slowly after a moment.

"Sect Master."

"I'm heading out for a while."

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."

Chapter 604: Time Stop

Before Gu Nan left, he had a premonition that Jiu Po and Daoist Yellow Springs would join forces to attack his Divine Kingdom as soon as he disappeared. Unexpectedly, Daoist Yellow Springs became a loner thanks to his "devouring" ability.

Now that he thought about it, that was normal. Who would want to work with a guy who could devour them at any time to increase his strength? Unless they had no other choice, people would always take the alternative.

In contrast, although Gu Nan was brutal, he had no motive to kill wantonly, which was better than being devoured.

It's just that Lu Wen's appearance here meant he'd completely withdrawn from the race.

If Jiu Po was unfortunate enough to be devoured by Daoist Yellow Springs, then only Gu Nan and Yellow Springs would have the right to decide the final winner.

"You're the one who gave him the opportunity," Lu Wen said seriously. If Gu Nan hadn't discovered the world origin's secret, Daoist Yellow Springs wouldn't even have any opportunity in the first place.

Gu Nan laughed. "It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, what's your ability?"

Lu Wen was silent for a while, then slowly answered, "Dual attributes. I came out of the Origin World twice. That was my ability both times."

Dual attributes was the reason Lu Wen could master the dual laws of time and space.

"Tell me about how you left."

Lu Wen knew he had to gain Gu Nan's trust, so he didn't hide anything and explained decisively, "In fact, we've already figured out the process for leaving the Origin World. But only now were we able to confirm what the Origin World did to us."

Lu Wen spoke slowly, and the information he revealed was somewhat beyond Gu Nan's expectations, but the gist was no different from his suspicions.

Transmigrators who left the Origin World often had special abilities, which was determined by the special characteristics of the Origin World's dimensional wall.

"We believe that this is not actually a dimensional wall, but a Wall of Laws." Lu Wen said, "Those who pass through this wall will have certain aspects of their power strengthened by laws."

Having said that, he glanced at Gu Nan again and continued with a smile, "Of course, it's also possible for the target to be an item instead of a person."

……

The Myriad Heavens.

Jiu Po was at a complete disadvantage. He couldn't damage Daoist Yellow Springs and could only watch his own power get absorbed.

Daoist Yellow Springs' own strength already reached Tier 14, and his devouring ability grew even stronger, actually starting to suppress Jiu Po Heaven.

"You… cannot escape," Daoist Yellow Springs' voice was a little hoarse. The large influx of power gave him no time to digest it all, and it was gradually distorting his personality.

Jiu Po just stared at him calmly. Only after a while did he speak up, "It's almost done."

Daoist Yellow Springs was slightly startled. Jiu Po suddenly raised his hand, and an exquisite pocket watch appeared in his hand.

The clock hands jumped slightly, and time seemed to stand still at this instant. Even Daoist Yellow Springs' devouring ability also froze.

"It's all thanks to your origin," Jiu Po's indifferent voice finally rang out, followed by a sudden palm strike forward, setting off a wave of earthen powers.

The pocket watch shattered under the crushing weight of those laws, and time returned to normal. But Daoist Yellow Springs was still unable to block the earth's power, and he had no time to activate devouring, so he could only take the blow head-on!

It turned out that Jiu Po only allowed him to devour so much power in order to secretly steal away a wisp of world origin. It wasn't that Jiu Po did not have a special ability, but that the special ability was an item.

The power of the earth almost smashed the entire void, and strange laws filled the space, completely submerging Daoist Yellow Springs.

However, after a moment, Jiu Po gave a deep sigh. "Is it… too late?"

"That's right, it's too late." Daoist Yellow Springs slowly emerged from behind him. His figure had been corroded beyond recognition, but his aura was still stable, and he was even devouring a large portion of the surrounding laws.

As long as he didn't die, he could quickly recover his power.

After swallowing Jiu Po's power, Daoist Yellow Springs was recovering at an alarming speed, a sneer on his face.

If Jiu Po stole the origin just a little faster and if he didn't start to weaken just now, Daoist Yellow Springs' power would not have grown so strong, and Jiu Po may really have succeeded in killing the enemy with one blow.

After all, Daoist Yellow Springs did not have an astral world and would truly die if his body was destroyed.

"Time stop? To think you hid that from everyone." He glared at Jiu Po with cold eyes, but he was no longer in a hurry. What the other party brought from the Origin World was not an ability, but an item…

Jiu Po just shook his head a little. "Back then, I took a step back, so I deserve this ending. But although I lost, you may not necessarily win."

Jiu Po also knew just how strong the current Gu Nan was. Based on their conjectures about Gu Nan, his ability probably had something to do with his physical body.

Therefore, after obtaining the Origin World's origin, Gu Nan's physical body became incredibly strong. Even if Daoist Yellow Springs had the devouring ability, he still wouldn't be able to deal with such a Gu Nan.

Daoist Yellow Springs naturally understood what Jiu Po meant, but he wasn't afraid. He just smiled. "That's why I found you first… Only by devouring your power will I gain the right to face him."

Jiu Po's expression shifted slightly, but his figure suddenly disappeared. The next second, the devouring power actually tried to bite him on the head.

"He fled?" Daoist Yellow Springs' eyes were cold, but he didn't pay much attention to the escape and continued to devour the power of Jiu Po Heaven.

Astral world cultivators actually concentrated most of their power in their astral worlds. Jiu Po himself escaping would only speed up Daoist Yellow Springs' progress.

……

"Jiu Po also lost." Lu Wen sighed softly. "His time stop was a little late."

Gu Nan already found out Jiu Po's ability from Lu Wen. He actually brought out a pocket watch from the Origin World capable of temporarily stopping time.

Daoist Yellow Springs didn't know about this. On the contrary, Lu Wen, whose previous incarnation was in the same generation as Jiu Po, had witnessed that power of his.

As Gu Nan expected, Lu Wen was the one who saw Jiu Po's historical era. Daoist Yellow Springs only learned about it from Lu Wen because he'd been beside the Origin World for a long time.

After Daoist Yellow Springs learned of Gu Nan's formidable power, he deliberately muddied up this pattern in hopes of misleading Gu Nan.

Unfortunately, he did not expect Molag's appearance to single-handedly change the overall situation.

Now, everyone was sprinting across the final stretch, all to decide the ultimate winner.

Gu Nan didn't stop punching but asked curiously, "You guys studied it for so many years. Do you know why the Origin World sent people like us out?"

"Of course." Lu Wen nodded. "What you're currently doing is something Yellow Springs and I both tried back then, and thanks to that, my soul was able to enter the Origin World."

"Back then, did you want to become the next transmigrator?"

"Yes, and I succeeded," there was a hint of pride in Lu Wen's voice, but then it faded.

"But so what? If not for Molag's appearance, we probably wouldn't have known even now—it turns out that the Origin World's origin is the driving force behind our powers… That's all it was!"

Chapter 605: Advance and Retreat (END)

Gu Nan couldn't help but fall silent.

Before the appearance of people with the ability to produce the Origin World's origin like Molag and himself, they really could only stumble about in the dark; it was impossible to find the origin.

Unless they were willing to cut themselves open or find the next transmigrator in advance, before that person used up their origin.

"Did you also see the future history before you transmigrated?" Gu Nan thought for a while and asked again. This was the Origin World's strongest power.

Lu Wen seemed determined to join Gu Nan's side and answered all his questions.

"That's right. Actually, I don't need to elaborate on this. You'll see it when you continue to destroy the Wall of Laws."

Gu Nan raised his head and looked at the shattered dimensional wall. Suddenly, he saw something astonishing inside.

They were fragments of the future, some about the Myriad Heavens and others about the World of Gods, but the two sides seemed separate.

These fragments contained all kinds of information, including powerful cultivators like themselves, as well as insignificant characters like peddlers and servants. Everything was included, no matter how powerful.

There were even some contradictory fragment pairs, but over time, one of the two would fade away.

Gu Nan seemed to understand why the Origin World's predictions were extremely accurate and why they were only related to the future of a single world.

"The essence of the Wall of Laws is indeed a dimensional wall, and it's connected to the dimensional walls of the two outside worlds." Lu Wen's voice continued, "But it has the power to predict the future and can deduce the future of the two worlds on its own. "

Once this kind of future was deduced, it would fall into the Origin World and be obtained by a few people in the form of memories. And some of these people then used it to produce films, television series, and literary works, which eventually spread to a wider audience.

"But this kind of prediction isn't completely accurate. The power of foreknowledge will eventually lean to one side of the world, completely foretelling the future there, while the other side will disappear until the next reincarnation."

The next reincarnation is when the next transmigrator appears.

Gu Nan nodded slightly. He understood the essence behind these transmigrators' appearances. In sum, it was caused by a special dimensional wall like the Wall of Laws.

Perhaps the Origin World was merely an ordinary plane a long time ago, but it was separated from the two worlds due to the influence of the Wall of Laws.

"The power of prediction…" Gu Nan's gaze landed on the gradually shattering dimensional wall, a faint smile on his face. "As long as it's destroyed, there won't be any more transmigrators in the future."

Lu Wen was stunned. But before he could speak, another voice called out, "No, it's mine."

Daoist Yellow Springs slowly materialized next to Lu Wen. At this time, only a thin layer of the Wall of Laws was left. Gu Nan could even make out blurry figures on the other side.

Lu Wen's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately started to move away, but Daoist Yellow Springs didn't even spare him a glance, instead staring at the Wall of Laws, transfixed.

He was the one who stayed by the Origin World the longest, as well as the one who understood the Wall of Laws best.

"It's mine!" Daoist Yellow Springs repeated. Though his face looked calm, his voice was very serious.

While saying this, he already activated his devouring power, targeting none other than the fragments of the Wall of Laws and quickly swallowing them inside his body.

Sensing the rapid origin consumption inside his body, Daoist Yellow Springs became more and more excited.

His devouring ability could swallow everything in the world. The only limitation was the lack of origin. Moreover, the more powerful the target, the higher the origin consumption.

Now, he finally had enough origin, and the origin consumed through devouring the Wall of Laws was far more than anything else he ever devoured!

Even when devouring Jiu Po's extremely powerful earthen energy, the rate of origin consumption wasn't even half as fast as right now.

After all, the Wall of Laws was the true source of the Origin World's miracles, and it was also the reason why everyone present could stand here.

"Power… Now this is true power…" Daoist Yellow Springs' eyes flickered slightly, and the laws had begun to spread all over his body, continuing to extend outward.

His law was very special. It was the "solidification" law that made all things congeal.

Under the influence of the solidification law, not only did the void gradually stop flowing, but even the Wall of Laws was restricted, and the changes in the predictive fragments also slowed down.

Boom!

A muffled sound seemed to come from the void. Daoist Yellow Springs suddenly opened his eyes and saw Gu Nan smashing apart the Wall of Laws with a punch and slowly walking out of the Origin World.

At this moment, Gu Nan became the first person in history to leave the Origin World without being in soul form.

After cracks appeared on the Wall of Laws, it began to rapidly crumble and disintegrate and even caused a collapse phenomenon, dissolving swiftly like snowflakes.

"No… This is mine… Mine!" Daoist Yellow Springs glared furiously, veins popping up on his forehead as the law of solidification quickly surged towards Gu Nan.

Gu Nan threw a casual punch without even glancing in his direction. The almost-solid laws surrounding Daoist Yellow Springs' body fell apart instantly, and his whole body flew backwards like a cannonball.

Daoist Yellow Springs devoured most of Jiu Po's power, but even Jiu Po lacked the ability to face Gu Nan head-on, let alone him.

Gu Nan turned around and gripped the edges of the crack in the Wall of Laws with both hands. The law of shadow began to pour out abruptly, rapidly enlarging the crack until it covered twenty percent of the entire wall in the blink of an eye.

But his movements paused a little because he actually discovered a soul inside the Wall of Laws.

That was Fu Cheng's soul.

'So she was fused into the Wall of Laws… Is it because she came out too early, and the previous transmigrator's era hasn't ended yet?' With Gu Nan's current understanding of the Wall of Laws, he immediately deduced why Fu Cheng was here.

She was fused into the Wall of Laws. In a few hundred more years, she might even be the next Gu Nan. Unfortunately, she no longer had that chance.

As the Wall of Laws fractured, Fu Cheng's soul also dissipated entirely.

"Gu Nan!" Daoist Yellow Springs shouted again, having just run back from the void. His hair was disheveled, and he shot a cold glare at Gu Nan.

"Stop, or else you'll definitely regret it," Daoist Yellow Springs yelled at Gu Nan, his power still devouring the Wall of Laws.

Gu Nan was never a person who could be swayed by words. He didn't even spare the opponent a glance and was still tearing apart the Origin World's dimensional wall at an incredible speed.

One could well imagine the consequences. Once Gu Nan completely tore it apart, the Origin World would merge with the outside world, and there would be no such thing as transmigrators henceforth.

Daoist Yellow Springs' face darkened slightly, He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Eugene, how much longer are you planning to wait?!"

The void seemed to pause for a second, and then a golden light lit up from behind Gu Nan. It was Eugene, the Ruler of War who had been lurking for a long time.

Gu Nan's form was originally perfect and had almost no weaknesses to speak of. Even the Exile incantation could only trap him temporarily.

But Austin and the greater gods created a weakness in him.

Gu Nan suddenly turned and punched out, directly piercing Eugene's heart. This Ruler of War didn't even have time to react.

However, he seemed to be expecting this; no surprise could be seen in his eyes. Instead, he grinned and sent the golden light in his hands straight to Gu Nan.

Four rays of light—each a different color—swam inside the golden cloud, consisting of mainly two parts, one black and one white, that exuded a mysterious aura.

"This is… the essence of the two major Divine Kingdoms?" Gu Nan raised his brow slightly and immediately understood what Austin had done.

No wonder the strength of the Exile incantation was weaker than Gu Nan imagined. It turned out that the two didn't use their full strength at all.

And inside the golden ball of light in Eugene's hand, the impressive auras of the four strongest greater gods were gathered together. The two largest Divine Kingdoms served as the bridge, truly integrating the four's powers.

At this moment, the Stigma of Life and Death on Gu Nan's body—which was about to disappear—suddenly lit up again.

This was Austin's last resort, using the power of four greater gods to trigger the Stigma of Life and Death. The Exile incantation was just to mislead the opponent, so as to help them deal a fatal blow right now.

If Gu Nan still wasn't dead after this blow, then the four greater gods who sacrificed themselves would have no chance of returning.

Daoist Yellow Springs gazed at this scene with cold eyes.

He'd been hiding near the Origin World and was aware of the major moves in both worlds. Naturally, Austin and the others' plan couldn't be hidden from him.

"Gu Nan, your power is still incomplete. You've yet to take that last step, have you?" Daoist Yellow Springs' voice slowly rang out, "If you hide in the Origin World and try to comprehend the Wall of Laws to take that step, you might still have a chance. But it's a pity…"

As Daoist Yellow Springs' words slowly fell, the golden light in the void became more and more blinding, even to the point of scorching.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light quickly converged on the mark on Gu Nan's abdomen, severing all of Gu Nan's vitality.

"It's over…" Jiu Po's figure appeared next to Lu Wen, shaking his head slowly.

He originally thought no one could catch up to Gu Nan, who grew at a monstrous speed, but he didn't expect Yellow Springs and the greater gods to join forces to ultimately defeat this foe.

Eugene covered his chest with one hand. Gu Nan's punch right before he died instantly dealt critical damage. He couldn't even move right now.

But being able to kill the Evil God made everything worth it.

Daoist Yellow Springs continued to devour the Wall of Laws. No one could oppose him now. The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that a large part of the laws had already been destroyed by Gu Nan.

He only cast a glance at Gu Nan's completely lifeless body and stopped paying attention to it. No matter how valuable Gu Nan's corpse was, it wasn't as important as his own strength.

However, at this second, Eugene's expression suddenly changed. His whole person seemed to be pierced from behind by a monstrous force, pulverizing his internal organs and tearing his body apart.

Pieces of Eugene's corpse instantly fell into the void. At the same time, Gu Nan walked out from behind him while cracking his neck, a sinister smile on his face.

"The stigma is alright, but the strength is a bit lacking." He touched the Stigma of Life and Death on his abdomen, whose power had almost completely faded.

Eugene gathered the power of four greater gods and finally triggered the stigma's final blow. Although it was effective, it also completely exhausted the stigma's power.

More importantly, the Stigma of Life and Death did not actually have the intended effect.

Daoist Yellow Springs stared at this blankly, as if he couldn't understand why Gu Nan, who was clearly dead, could still revive.

In his eyes, Gu Nan was undoubtedly completely dead just now. Even his soul was instantly destroyed; not even his astral world could save him.

Gu Nan slowly walked up Daoist Yellow Springs, then glanced at Eugene, who was torn to pieces, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"If Austin found out that you wasted the precious opportunity he used his life to create, maybe he'd be so furious that he'd come back to life again?" Gu Nan wondered with some amusement.

He finally understood Austin's plan. From the beginning, the Greater God of Light had bet that Gu Nan would clash with other powerhouses sooner or later.

He asked Eugene to take action at that critical second, hoping to activate Gu Nan's Stigma of Life and Death to completely destroy Gu Nan's body.

Normally, his prediction would be entirely correct. Daoist Yellow Springs would certainly make sure Gu Nan was truly dead, not giving him any opportunity to revive.

It's a pity that this wasn't a normal situation. The Wall of Laws was right in front of him. How could Daoist Yellow Springs care about anything else?

And Austin also didn't expect that with Gu Nan's current power, even if he gathered the power of four greater gods, the forced state of death would only last for a short moment.

Only when Gu Nan came back to life did Daoist Yellow Springs stop his movements and retreat violently.

Gu Nan simply took one step forward, instantly stomping through the congealed space and appearing directly before him.

At this time, Daoist Yellow Springs' power-addled mind seemed to have recovered, and his face gradually calmed down.

"You… still need to take that final step, right? I have a way to help you," Daoist Yellow Springs lowered his head and tried his best to keep his voice as calm as possible.

Gu Nan didn't say anything, and Daoist Yellow Springs continued talking to himself, "You may have transmigrated with an item like Jiu Po did, but it's already destroyed now."

"So what if I did?"

"I can help you!" Daoist Yellow Springs' voice suddenly became louder, "I have the deepest understanding of the Origin World, and I know how to bring out the ability you want…"

"Don't destroy the Wall of Laws, and you'll have a chance to take that last step. Just find someone who can bring out the same item you did. And you can always keep an eye on me, so you won't have to worry about me being a threat!"

Daoist Yellow Springs became more and more fluent as he spoke. Towards the end, it seemed like he even convinced himself.

Having said this, he pointed at Lu Wen and Jiu Po over there. "They are the same! As long as you keep an eye on us and don't let us come into contact with the origin, you won't need to take any risks!"

He stared into Gu Nan's eyes and said in a low voice, "Think about it, with your current realm, as long as you take one final step, you'll be able to see this world's apex, the pinnacle of truth and pow— Why?"

Towards the end of his speech, Daoist Yellow Springs finally realized that Gu Nan didn't seem to be listening. Before he could register what just happened, the law of shadows had already invaded the Wall of Laws and destroyed it completely.

"Well, how is it? Has your devouring ability disappeared?" Gu Nan turned around to look at him. Only when he saw Daoist Yellow Springs' sudden change in expression did he reveal a satisfied smile.

The only reason he spared Daoist Yellow Springs was to verify this.

All the transmigrators' special abilities came from the Wall of Laws, and this connection still existed even after they left the Origin World.

Only when Gu Nan fully destroyed the Wall of Laws were they completely freed from its control.

Even Gu Nan himself felt his body turn lighter, and the fragments of the Evil God Temple that had melted into his body seemed to disappear at this moment.

"Why?" Daoist Yellow Springs stared at him in disbelief. "You could have gone even further, so why…?"

"I've already won." Gu Nan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The winner has no need to gamble any further."
