Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 383: Fan Hua And Dong Xun

Gu Nan stared at Qi Bu the same way one would look at a fool.

A special organization like the Heaven-God Alliance practically made enemies of the greater god-level existences in both the Myriad Heavens Universe and the World of Gods. Did hiding one’s identity require any thought?

Gu Nan didn’t feel much when Yu Shuyun introduced herself because he didn’t even recognize a mere Tier 4 as a member of the Heaven-God Alliance.

But the Qi Bu before him was different. With Gu Nan's insight, he could naturally see that Qi Bu was a Star Ruler.

An inexperienced Star Ruler who just advanced not long ago and didn’t have time to acquire his own astral world—perhaps he hadn’t even entered the Inner World yet.

Of course, even the most inexperienced Star Ruler was still a Star Ruler, so in Gu Nan's eyes, he was qualified to be an official member of the Heaven-God Alliance.

But to Qi Bu, this sounded like an insult.

In all honesty, Yu Shuyun forcibly dragged him into the Heaven-God Alliance decades ago, when he hadn't even advanced to Star Ruler Realm yet.

But Qi Bu had never cared much about this organization, while Yu Shuyun was habitually ignorant, so to this day, both of them still didn't even know the organization’s name.

For Yu Shuyun, joining a secret organization was more about experiencing a sense of excitement from the clandestine operations.

The two glared angrily at Gu Nan, while Gu Nan completely ignored them. His figure vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Truly… such poor upbringing!" The young Qi Bu watched Gu Nan disappear but was at a loss for words. Finally, he could only leave such a sentence.

He came from Academic Heaven’s Confucian Academy, so he paid particular attention to etiquette with regards to his speech, actions, and bearing. Usually, he never even swore.

Academic Heaven was also one of the Thirteen Heavens, and it was probably the most famous of the Thirteen Heavens and the most well-known plane in the world.

The reason for this was that, as the name implied, this plane contained the greatest number of academies, which were the most sought-after places of learning for students all over the Myriad Heavens Universe.

Because of this, Academic Heaven had the highest number of Star Rulers stationed in the plane—some were outstanding students like Qi Bu, but many more were teachers.

Yu Shuyun also came from Academic Heaven, but she was clearly not from the Confucian Academy.

“Ah Bu, we must find him and teach him an unforgettable lesson!" Yu Shuyun chimed in from the side, waving her little fist hard.

Didn’t she drag Qi Bu along precisely to teach that self-important guy a lesson?

Yu Shuyun, who hadn't suffered a loss at the hands of someone on her same level ever since she graduated from the academy, was always thinking about winning back some face for herself.

……

Dong Xun panted heavily. His face was splattered with blood, but the warmth that surged through his body felt unusually pleasant.

"I still want… more… power." He ruthlessly plunged the dagger into the chest of a young man on the ground.

The youth on the ground didn’t even twitch. Only a small amount of blood was still gushing out, because he was already dead.

There were nearly ten corpses scattered throughout the alleyway. It was the same group of youths who often bullied Dong Xun, but now they could never do that again.

Dong Xun stabbed the corpse hard a few more times, then stood up with a big pant and a deranged smile on his face.

“What… What are you doing?" A slightly panicked voice came from behind him.

Dong Xun swiveled back and saw an impeccably-dressed man in a suit who happened to pass by and was currently scrambling backwards in horror.

He was just a normal office worker who never even practiced martial arts before and had never seen such a bloody scene in his life.

Yet Dong Xun, who just turned fourteen, curled his lips into a strange smile as his body lunged forward like a leopard.

In fact, he wasn’t very fast at all, and his already-frail body was weary and exhausted, but this was enough to take care of a normal person.

The dagger stabbed straight into the man's abdomen, but Dong Xun had no intention of stopping at all. His right hand spasmed wildly, the dagger flying in and out, and blood gushed out continuously.

The man struggled with all his power, but Dong Xun’s arms caught him with a vice-like grip. He couldn’t break free at all.

The next moment, the dagger slashed across the man's carotid artery. Dong Xun, who wasn’t very skilled at this, used more force than necessary, so more blood sprayed out.

Dong Xun didn’t have the slightest intention of avoiding it. Instead, he moved his face closer and let the blood pour down from his head and cover his entire body with a look of pure bliss on his face.

In just two days, he’d already turned from an ignorant teenager into a psychopathic serial killer.

This couldn’t be helped. He was destined to take such a path the moment he accepted Rolensia’s power.

Perhaps the title of the God of Luxuriant Blossoms sounds very beautiful, but don’t forget that Rolensia is a god belonging to the Dark Faction—she was that from the moment she became a god.

Although luxuriant blossoms were a type of flower, in Rolensia’s hometown, luxuriant blossoms were a strange flower that fed on animals.

Once a luxuriant blossom was “full," it would spray out the excess blood it ingested to form an extremely beautiful blood flower. This was the origin of the name “luxuriant blossom.”

Therefore, luxuriant blossoms could also be referred to as blood flowers.

"You're progressing quickly,” a cold voice similar to Rolensia’s echoed in Dong Xun's head.

Dong Xun slowly opened his eyes, his exhaustion greatly alleviated. He grinned. "If I can obtain power, I… do not fear anything."

Of course he wouldn’t know that just as he was enjoying the fountain of blood, a figure was standing in the shadows, calmly watching all of this.

“He actually fused with a wisp of Rolensia’s soul? Or rather, it’s more accurate to say that this wisp of soul underwent a mutation… How interesting."

……

"It's extremely difficult to find the three lost boxes. Heavenly Province World is very chaotic to begin with, and we don't even know what's in those boxes,” Qi Bu couldn’t help complaining under his breath as he walked down the street with Yu Shuyun.

Classmate Qi Bu had always been a very earnest person. Since they were looking for the lost objects, he was even trying to find all three by himself.

‘It’s the very act of accomplishing what ordinary people cannot that fully demonstrates the excellence of my Academic Heaven’s pupils!’

But it was extremely unfortunate that they were completely stuck at the first step.

Where exactly did the box get lost? Don't know. In whose hands was the box lost? Don't know. What was in the box and what impact would it have if it was stolen? Don’t know either.

‘How can I start looking without any information? Ahh!’

The originally ambitious Qi Bu was at a standstill, completely clueless. On the contrary, Yu Shuyun wasn’t anxious at all, still cheerfully dragging Qi Bu around on a lazy stroll.

According to her: "Maybe the clue will appear on its own?"

"How can a coincidence like that exist!”

It hadn’t even been that long since Qi Bu's retort when the roadside news broadcast mentioned a wanted notice—it was about a vicious, psychopathic serial killer.

"You saw that news just now, right? Hey, the killer first appeared only two days ago!"

Qi Bi nodded slowly and said seriously, "I take back what I just said."
