Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 342: Unwarranted Disaster

While Gu Nan was busy leading his party around in the Inner World, another incident occurred in the Myriad Heavens Universe.

This matter received quite a bit of attention and even triggered heated debate for a while, because it was the follow-up to the earlier story of a Heaven Level plane being divided up.

Nirvana Heaven’s origin automatically revealed itself after Zuo Zuo disappeared, yet it didn’t dissipate.

This made it awkward for many Star Rulers hoping to get some crumbs, but those truly powerful Star Rulers were happy because such a large origin was the perfect size for them to fight over.

In the end, the main part of Nirvana Heaven’s origin was divided into three portions, each of which was taken away by a powerful Star Ruler.

They were Moonlight Heaven’s Star Ruler Fairy Moon; Ying Yang Rotation Heaven’s Star Ruler Wang Chong, as well as White Bones Realm’s Daoist White Bones.

The reason Gu Nan received no pressure from the Star Ruler of White Bones Realm lately despite stirring up all kinds of trouble here was because Daoist White Bones was busy fighting over Nirvana Heaven’s origin and had no time to deal with him.

But what many people didn't expect was for the remaining portion of Nirvana Heaven’s origin to ultimately be seized by a Star Ruler whom people suspected didn’t even own an astral world yet.

This person was the actual reincarnation of a great power. She was Wu Gui, who was both a demon and a Buddha.

In the past, the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara’s Myriad Buddha World was also a large world that was about to ascend to a “Realm” Level plane. It left a deep impression in many people’s memories.

But she died right before her world could ascend and was forced to walk the path of ten thousand reincarnations in hopes of fully resurrecting someday, yet even that plan was ultimately destroyed by the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord. The struggles she went through made many people sigh with emotion.

Myriad Buddha World naturally still exists today, but Wu Gui had already fallen to the demonic path, so whether she could take control of her former world once again was still unknown. That was why people suspected she didn’t have an astral world yet.

But it was precisely such a person who snatched a portion of the world’s origin from right under three powerful Star Rulers’ noses. Most onlookers simply didn’t understand what she wanted to do.

Only a very small number of people who understood Zuo Zuo's roots knew she’d set her sights on Zuo Zuo's law of fusion and was trying to fuse her own demonic intent with her Buddhist heart.

Starting from the time she invaded Immortal Demon World a while back, Wu Gui's goal had never changed.

Since Gu Nan destroyed Zuo Zuo’s inheritance, she could only set her sights on Zuo Zuo himself to obtain the law of fusion.

She refused to become Zuo Zuo's subordinate and wait for Zuo Zuo to reward her after making meritorious achievements. On the contrary, she’d much rather find some way to kill Zuo Zuo, then somehow snatch his world’s origin.

Wu Gui was sitting on a black lotus in Star Realm. The purple and gold light on her body constantly flickered, seemingly trying to merge together.

After a long time, she finally opened her eyes slowly and shook her head. "It's still a bit short."

Red was standing right in front of her. "There is no shortage of the law of fusion inside the origin, but it’s too inaccurate to attempt to comprehend them out of thin air. What you lack is a target you can consult as reference."

Wu Gui nodded slightly at Red’s words. She knew what Red meant—she needed a genuine materialization of the law of fusion as a vessel for her to comprehend. Ultimately, a world's origin was too hazy and indistinct.

"A vessel of the law of fusion…" Wu Gui contemplated with rapt attention, as if considering where to find the law of fusion.

This kind of law was too rare. Even with her knowledge, she only knew that Zuo Zuo possessed this law. For a while, she couldn't think of a second person.

"He died and his inheritance was destroyed, but his former astral world from many years ago still exists." Red's speech was still unhurried, "First, we need to find Gu Nan."

Wu Gui smiled. "He caused quite a stir in Tiluo World. I heard he’s in White Bones Realm now?"

Gu Nan received considerable attention earlier, so his location instantly became public knowledge after he appeared several times in White Bones Realm.

But Red said, "White Bones Realm isn’t a nice place… He’s most likely going to encounter trouble. What good timing—you can help him out."

……

Inside White Mist’s headquarters in White Bones Realm.

Red Tail sat in a large conference room. With her were elders from White Mist such as Bai Xuesheng, as well as a Transcendent Realm martial artist who ascended from Crescent Moon World.

This Transcendent Realm martial artist was called Qin Du, the winner of the tournament back in Crescent Moon World. After ascending to White Bones Realm, he became the spokesman for the ten ascendants.

The current upper echelon of White Mist was divided into two factions—the original elders and the ascended martial artists.

However, this time was a rare occurrence where the two sides didn’t actually try to tear each other apart. Instead, both sides had equally gloomy expressions.

Because two corpses were placed at the end of the room. They were two Transcendent Realm martial artists from Crescent Moon World.

"They were killed in Zi Luo Heaven. According to the survivor who escaped, the other party provoked them quite deliberately. They didn’t steal our goods either; they just wanted to kill our people."

"Later, we received information that the perpetrator isn’t someone from White Bones Realm," Bai Xuesheng informed everyone in a heavy voice. Although he certainly didn’t get along with this group of ascendants, he also never wanted an outsider to wantonly kill members of White Mist.

"The killer was a Void Cutter cultivator. Our two protectors couldn’t escape, and even when they went all out in a last-ditch attack, they only managed to injure the other party.”

"Which organization are they from? Why would they do this?" Red Tail frowned heavily. She really couldn’t think of anyone White Mist had offended.

It wasn’t very likely for an organization like White Mist, whose business was primarily reincarnation, to offend other forces—unless they were in the same profession.

But ever since Gu Nan swept away multiple reincarnator organizations here, White Mist's reputation in the reincarnator circle had spread, and no one dared to mess with them at all.

So they didn’t expect to be ambushed this time when they sent people to Zi Luo Heaven to purchase and escort some goods.

"It's Mountain River World." Bai Xuesheng explained, "White Bones Realm offended too many people in the past when it ascended to a Realm Level plane. Mountain River World has never stopped targeting us all these years."

White Bones Realm wasn’t a laxly managed astral world like Star Realm—large internal conflicts were almost nonexistent here, which allowed it to constantly focus on external threats instead.

It was precisely because of this that White Bones Realm was able to successfully advance to the ranks of a Realm Level plane, but at the same time, it also blocked the paths of countless astral worlds and made countless enemies. Mountain River World was one of them.

Bai Xuesheng was a native of White Bones Realm, so he knew the most about these historical grudges.

‘This really is an unwarranted disaster…’ Red Tail lamented in secret. ‘It’s a pity My Lord is still in secluded cultivation, or else he most assuredly wouldn’t allow them to run wild.’

"Let's just make a note of this grudge for the time being—there will be a chance to get even later." Red Tail decided, "During this time, everyone should avoid leaving White Bones Realm if possible. Even they won’t dare to—"

"Grand Commander!" Mo Wentian hurriedly barged in. "Someone’s knocking on our door outside. They claim that we hurt their people and want us to give an explanation!"

Red Tail suddenly changed color, showing bewilderment. "Are they seeking death? They dare to run to White Bones Realm to cause trouble?"

They could only accept their bad luck if White Mist members were injured outside, but if enemies came knocking on their door, then there was no way Daoist White Bones wouldn’t intervene to keep order!

Bai Xuesheng, however, stood up with some panic. "Daoist White Bones, that senior… might have run into some trouble."

……

In Crescent Moon World, Gu Nan and Nie Shuangshuang had a smoother trip than expected after getting the help of the Dragon of Space.

The Silver-Robed Ancestor could no longer stir up too much trouble after his spatial manipulation abilities were restricted—after all, any move he could possibly make was within Gu Nan's calculations.

In the end, they successfully decapitated the Silver-Robed Ancestor after only three tries. Nie Shuangshuang left with satisfaction, and Gu Nan also started to contemplate what kinds of apostles to recruit to deal with this dungeon.

Relying on the current mission personnel undoubtedly wouldn’t work.

"I'll head back to White Bones Realm. Let’s fight again there," Long Ling'er said as such. Perhaps killing the familiar Silver-Robed Ancestor gave her a confidence boost.

"Okay." Gu Nan nodded, then his soul left the Inner World. The main part of his soul returned to his Divine Kingdom, while a small part reentered the clone currently in closed-door cultivation inside White Bones Realm.

The next second, the saint clone in White Bones Realm heard a loud noise.

"This time, seven realms are simultaneously laying siege to White Bones Realm. All unrelated persons can get lost! But the people from White Mist must stay behind. My Lord said Gu Nan stole a treasure from his brother. Have him hand it over, and then get lost!"
