Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 190: I am the Walkthrough

Gu Nan sat alone in the palace with a mist mirror in his hand. There was no trace of fog left on the mirror, and there was even a small piece of shimmering light.

This was what a mission completion reward from the world’s will looked like.

White Mist kept a great deal of detailed information on reincarnation. After an earlier period of research, Gu Nan was no longer the novice from back then who didn’t know a thing about reincarnation.

Each plane had its own world’s will, which would act in accordance with certain rules. When they find something incongruous in the world, they would make an external request.

These requests were received by outsiders in various ways, translated into missions, and completed via reincarnation—of course, if one had the ability, they could also tear a hole in space and directly travel to that plane.

There were various ways to translate the missions. White Mist, for example, made use of fate, and there were also strange methods that relied on faith, resentment, and even living organisms.

It didn’t matter whether the translator completed the mission personally or not. After the world’s request was completed, the reward would be given to the translator.

Gu Nan placed his hand gently on the mist mirror, and an unspeakable energy gradually emerged.

Everything Gu Nan did in the Morningstar Plane was replayed in front of his eyes again, all the way until Tian Tian became the moon thrall’s child and was subsequently killed by him.

‘As expected, the so-called world’s will isn’t actually a conscious force…’ Gu Nan ridiculed silently in his heart.

If the Morningstar Plane had the same consciousness as a human being, it would probably have kicked him out furiously after seeing everything he did in that plane, much less give a reward.

The energy from the plane spread along Gu Nan's hand and reached his brain in the blink of an eye, trying to enter his mind and soul.

At this time, the Evil God Temple actually shook again, and a piece of information was released.

?Integrating external dungeon… Please name the new personal dungeon (incomplete)?

When Gu Nan read this message and finally reacted, he almost blurted out “Fuck,” and countless curses ran through his heart.

‘It's actually a personal dungeon! How can a personal dungeon appear at this time?’

What was a personal dungeon?

Personal dungeon was just the game’s official terminology. If an old player who had been immersed in the Evil God game for many years saw this, he’d definitely tell you the answer in two words—Divine Kingdom!

During Tier 5, every player had to build multiple personal dungeons and then turn them into tangible existences.

Of course, the reverse could also be done. A player could find a dungeon and turn it into a personal dungeon that they could manipulate at will.

A player who completed any one of the above conditions would be considered to have built their Divine Kingdom and would step into Tier 6.

Gu Nan’s earlier obsession with Immortal Demon World was also due to this. He planned to adopt the latter method and wanted to turn Immortal Demon World into his own personal dungeon.

But the Evil God Temple was now telling him that there was already an incomplete personal dungeon here?

Gu Nan's current mood was like having an account that just unlocked a skill tree. He had just activated the first two rows of skills when the ultimate skill at the top revealed itself.

‘Hey! I haven’t even unlocked the skills before that. How in the world can I light up that ultimate skill?’

However, Gu Nan was someone who had experienced great storms and soon calmed down—setting aside the matter of advancing to Tier 6 for now, there was already a problem with converting the personal dungeon into a tangible existence. After all, the notification clearly said it was “incomplete”!

His consciousness quickly sank into the Evil God Temple. On the virtual control panel in front of him, there was already a column for "personal dungeon" with only one lone dungeon on it, waiting to be named.

?Set name as “Morningstar”?

To make it easier to remember, Gu Nan gave it the same name as the original plane.

The name of the dungeon quickly changed to Morningstar, and at the same time a progress bar appeared after it: 30%.

‘It’s already 30% complete?’ Gu Nan rubbed his chin, thinking rapidly.

In the game, there was only one way to build a personal dungeon or convert a dungeon into a personal one—the player must replace the plane’s original laws with the player’s own laws.

After the player reaches Tier 5, a progress bar will appear on all dungeons.

Players manipulate the laws in that plane to raise the progress bar. When the progress bar exceeds 80%, players can attempt to convert the dungeon into their personal dungeon.

But things seemed a little different now.

Gu Nan hadn't even reached Tier 4, so he couldn’t even manipulate the laws in that plane yet. How could he even get a progress bar?

‘No wait, the essence of substituting the plane’s laws with your own is actually taking control of the world’s origin… Could it be that when the world’s origin tried to give me a reward, the Evil God Temple directly swallowed it whole?’

The more he thought about it, the more this felt likely.

‘Other cultivators improved their own laws by observing and sensing the world’s origin, but I actually ate the world’s origin…’

‘The easiest way to verify this is to translate some smaller world missions for people to complete.’

‘Although a 30% complete Morningstar dungeon can't be unlocked yet, if it’s a smaller plane, the Evil God Temple might be able to eat up all of that world’s origin in one go!’

Gu Nan's eyes shone with excitement—personal dungeons weren’t only used to establish one’s Divine Kingdom. His lack of points might be resolved by this as well.

……

"Eh? Why are you back again?" Red Tail looked at Gu Nan strangely. ‘Didn't this person say he’s going to find Lan Si and help her deal with the King of the Northern Region?’

"Did anyone finish the world missions I gave you last time?" Gu Nan asked eagerly.

"Not yet." Red Tail shook her head. "Most people in our organization excel at creating mist mirrors and collecting ingredients. People who are good at doing missions are all rare treasures. How can they be so easy to find?"

Although the translation method was precious, once they obtained it, it would just become a common thing; it wasn’t hard to implement at all.

On the contrary, people who could complete missions were extremely precious in any reincarnator organization, and most of them worked in large organizations.

Red Tail couldn’t help chuckling upon seeing Gu Nan's expression. "I've received a lot of rewards from various worlds’ origins over the years, so the effect has weakened for me. I've already told them to prioritize the missions you translated last time."

Red Tail didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with Gu Nan’s eagerness.

After all, she knew very well how much a world’s origin could help Dao Lords—her reaction wasn’t much better when she first received a reward from the world’s origin many years ago.

So she advised, "Many missions are unique and cannot be attempted multiple times, so members are relatively cautious. It takes time for them to understand the mission information, prepare the necessary materials, and choose the right time to enter the plane."

Red Tail also used to complete missions before she was promoted and even achieved excellent results, so she was very clear about this process.

"So I advise you to deal with Ye Chen first. Catching another child of destiny will increase the number of missions members can choose from—"

Gu Nan waved his hand. "Call all the people in the organization who are responsible for carrying out missions here. I'll teach them how to clear the missions."

Red Tail stared at him in astonishment, and Gu Nan stared right back without hesitation, pointing to himself in passing.

"What are you looking at? I am the walkthrough."
