Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 280: Suicide

Gu Nan had always fought with a clear tactical intent. Then, by concealing his true target, he misled the enemy into making a false judgment, finally deceiving the enemy into walking towards ruin step by step.

Despite being fully aware that Immortal Demon World was being invaded, Gu Nan didn't hurry back to save it. This was all to kill or injure as much of the enemy’s effective forces as possible.

Of course Yue Jiu had to be killed first, because his class as a "curse user" caused more trouble to Gu Nan than other enemies of the same realm.

Therefore, Gu Nan did just that as soon as he transformed. He was so fast that not even Gu Nian had time to save Yue Jiu.

Of the remaining two opponents, it was much easier to decide who to kill first—when facing an enemy with a Tier 4 law of duality, he didn’t need to put any thought into the kill priority at all.

If he killed Shang Rong first, then Gu Nian would resurrect him without hesitation. Back when she was Tier 3, Gu Nian could only use the opposing nature of life and death to revive herself, but at Tier 4, she could use it on other people as well.

Of course a veteran player like Gu Nan understood that in sum, "duality" meant "everything was mutually opposing."

Life and death; creation and destruction; time and space; action and an opposite reaction… Perhaps the first pair Gu Nian realized was life and death.

But “duality” also wasn’t truly invincible. Although it could affect Shang Rong out of thin air, it also had its own weakness—that is, there was a lag.

The higher the enemy’s power level, the longer the preparation time needed to use the law of duality. In other words, this was a law that couldn’t withstand assassination.

It was also by taking advantage of this that Gu Nan created a diversion to trick Gu Nian into using up the life and death seal she prepared beforehand, after which he suddenly changed his target to her.

"I know ‘duality’ better than you do."

A golden fist slammed down along with this sentence, but the second before this, Gu Nian made an inconceivable move.

She suddenly slapped her temple, instantly blowing out her own brain.

She killed herself!

Shang Rong stared at this scene in shock, not understanding the meaning behind Gu Nian’s move. ‘Don’t tell me that in order to not die at the enemy’s hands, you have to kill yourself instead?’

Gu Nan, however, withdrew his hand and muttered, "Seeking life in death? A smart NPC sure is troublesome."

Even with Gu Nan's knowledge and experience, he also had to admit that committing suicide was the best choice Gu Nian had.

As long as she could avoid Gu Nan's exalted Deity law, she would at least have a chance of reviving herself, even if she had to pay an extremely high price for it.

But if she was killed by Deity’s Descent, then she was afraid that not even “duality” would be able to do anything.

Gu Nian was gone, yet Shang Rong didn't seize the opportunity to escape, so clearly, only one ending awaited him.

As deity-mode Gu Nan punched down, this world-famous powerhouse, known as one of the "Five Steles," turned into dust in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, Gu Nan directly tore open the void and descended upon Immortal Demon World.

……

Similarly, two Void Cutter invaders had also entered Immortal Demon World.

One of them was a good friend of Shang Rong’s named Qin Fengye—the “Extinction Stele” of the “Five Steles.” She was a gorgeous but gloomy woman.

The other one wasn’t even human. Instead, he was a strange creature with a snake’s head, a person's upper torso, and a lizard's lower body.

For Zuo Zuo, who lived in a region outside Star Realm, it didn’t seem strange to have this kind of subordinate.

The snake-headed person named "Baili Tuo" was currently inhaling the smell of Immortal Demon World with an intoxicated expression.

"The living… The smell of the living!" Baili Tuo usually lived in an uninhabited plane and was released only when carrying out missions, so his vicious nature naturally came out at this time.

"You can eat as many humans as you want after we acquire this world’s origin," Qin Fengye's cold voice rang out, finally calling Baili Tuo back to his senses.

"Don’t forget what you just said…" Baili Tuo’s forked tongue slipped out and licked his lips.

Qin Fengye stopped paying attention to him and rushed forward in the blink of an eye. She knew that this world’s origin was right up ahead, so there was no need to look for it.

Immortal Demon World used to be Zuo Zuo's Dao Hall. If not for the fact that Zuo Zuo was otherwise occupied right now, why would he need to go to this much trouble just to get it back?

When she recalled Zuo Zuo’s situation, Qin Fengye’s gaze couldn’t help turning slightly cold. After all, the woman who could snatch away Star Realm from her Lord’s hands ten thousand years ago was definitely not simple…

If not for that woman’s unexpected actions, they wouldn't even need to use Immortal Demon World’s origin.

Qin Fengye stepped straight into a manor, putting aside all her thoughts for the time being. Her figure headed straight in a certain direction.

Standing here, she could clearly sense this world’s origin. ‘As long as I obtain this origin, My Lord will be able to easily overwhelm that one… Hmm? Who’s this?’

"Who are you?" Qin Fengye asked with a heavy voice as she coldly gazed at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Their information said that there was no second Void Cutter cultivator in Immortal Demon World, but the law fluctuations from the person in front of her was clearly that of a genuine Void Cutter cultivator.

"Lan Si," the woman's indifferent voice answered. Astonishingly, this was the Lan Si who entered secluded cultivation after ten-plus years of earnest cultivation.

While Gu Nan stayed in Zi Luo Heaven for several months, several more years had passed in Immortal Demon World. Lan Si finally made a breakthrough and stepped into Tier 4 in one fell swoop, completely fusing with the Godhead.

"Why are you wasting time talking to her?! Kill her!" Baili Tuo’s gloomy voice traveled over from behind Qin Fengye as he arrived and lunged straight for Lan Si.

But Lan Si moved even faster. With a wave of her hand, a blue light instantly wrapped around Baili Tuo.

Baili Tuo froze slightly. He tried to tear apart the enemy's power using his own laws, but this blue light was like the toughest cloth. He couldn’t rip it apart no matter what he tried.

The next moment, a choking sensation not even he could endure traveled over, and he realized what this blue light was.

Heavy water! This was extremely heavy water!

Every drop of water was as heavy as a meteorite. What would it feel like to have all these water droplets gather together and cover one’s entire body?

Now Baili Tuo knew. He felt like his entire person was buried alive, and it even felt like he was buried in the center of the earth’s core!

‘Thankfully, our side has two people…’ Baili Tuo turned his head with difficulty, only to see Qin Fengye rapidly moving away.

"You stall her, I'll grab the origin," Qin Fengye was way more direct than Baili Tuo, and her actions were just as decisive. She disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tens of millions of curses ran through Baili Tuo's heart. At this moment, he dearly wished he could immediately free himself and hack this teammate of his to death.

Fortunately, Lan Si was also distracted by Qin Fengye's surprising act, which saved Baili Tuo from being crushed to death.

Lan Si turned around somewhat anxiously. She realized that the other party's purpose was to seize some kind of object. Now that Gu Nan was away, she was naturally responsible for stopping the other party.

On the other hand, Qin Fengye's thoughts were much simpler.

What did Baili Tuo's life and death have to do with her? As long as she seized Immortal Demon World’s origin, even if she had to sacrifice Baili Tuo, Lord Zuo Zuo would still reward her highly!

‘There, right in front of me!’

A world origin that was originally blue but was now pitch-black from being corroded by the power of shadows was already laid out in front of Qin Fengye.

But Qin Fengye was also famous throughout the Myriad Heavens Universe. Even at this final moment, her mind still didn't relax at all. She was on guard against any traps that the enemy might have left behind.

Even her action of seizing the origin was swift and cautious. She even wrapped her right hand in her own law, then stretched out her hand to snatch the origin.

‘Even if there are traps, even if this hand gets crippled, I must still grab that origin!’

Qin Fengye resolved viciously in her heart and stretched out her hand, pressing down on the origin without hesitation.

It worked! She seized the origin!

However, an inexplicable might suddenly appeared in the sky at this moment, which almost made Qin Fengye feel like the sky was collapsing.

She glanced up subconsciously. A huge golden palm suddenly slammed down, directly crushing her into the ground.
