Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 55: White Dew Town

Inside Immortal Demon World.

In the quiet courtyard, Bai Luoluo performed a sword-dance alone. Her movements were clean and nimble, and there was nothing superfluous in the path her sword traveled.

If her current self was compared with her former self from a month or so ago, no one would believe that they were the same person.

While she was quietly practicing her sword, a dagger suddenly attacked, appearing behind her. Bai Luoluo’s reaction was also extremely fast. She countered with a sword strike in an instant.

Clang!

The two blades clashed and produced the sound of metal hitting metal. The attacker actually left as soon as the attack finished, not giving Bai Luoluo any chance to retaliate, and circled around so that the attacker was once again behind her.

Another strike fell. Bai Luoluo was forced to turn her head back again, but her opponent had circled to her left side this time.

After several times like this, Bai Luoluo finally couldn’t fend off the attacks anymore, and her longsword was sent flying far away.

Only then did Bai Luoluo say with a bitter expression, “Hall Master, why do you always use such… such…”

“Such vulgar tactics?” Yan Xiaoxiao asked with a smile as she picked up the longsword and handed it back to Bai Luoluo.

“Yes…” Bai Luoluo nodded softly.

“This is what my teacher taught me.” Yan Xiaoxiao’s smile disappeared slightly, and she said softly, “He told me that if you can win, then it doesn’t matter what methods you use, and if you can kill your opponent, then not even winning matters.”

Ever since she was taken in by the other party, Bai Luoluo had learned too many things from her, and she even wanted to become Yan Xiaoxiao’s apprentice.

However, her Sister Xiaoxiao always refused on the grounds that not even she herself had finished her apprenticeship yet, so Sister Xiaoxiao still had much to learn.

Although Bai Luoluo didn’t quite agree with these words, that didn’t stop her from showing a longing expression. “Sister Xiaoxiao’s teacher… What kind of person is he?”

“He’s probably… The greatest killer in the world.” A smile hung on the corner of Yan Xiaoxiao’s lips.

……

……

Gu Nan had reincarnated many times. Be it the Azure City plane, Langya World, or the mid-sized Immortal Demon World, he always arrived at the plane soon after passing through the reincarnation gate.

But this time was different. His soul was enveloped by a mass of power and transported all the way past “balls of light” of varying sizes.

Gu Nan knew that these were different planes.

‘Is the destination this time very far from Star Realm?’

One plane after another flitted across Gu Nan’s eyes. He seemed to be watched by countless eyes. Countless wills seemed to be slowly reaching out their tentacles, gradually approaching him…

Gu Nan never experienced this kind of thing before. An inexplicable sense of coldness began to appear in his heart.

But in a flash, he quickly came back to himself again.

Even if countless worlds’ wills existed here, and even if this place was the true reality of the world, they still couldn’t control him, because his advancement relied on the Evil God System.

‘Speaking of which, I left a small karma in Langya World back then. I wonder how that will affect me during advancement…’ While he was thinking this, Gu Nan’s soul was thrown into a ball of light, and his consciousness came back to a body.

“Oh, you finally woke up. Brother, the place you’re staying at seems quite far from here!”

As soon as Gu Nan woke up, he heard someone talking beside him. He must be one of the companions for this mission. He slowly opened his eyes and, sure enough, saw a man and two women nearby.

The previous voice clearly belonged to that man. Gu Nan looked up and saw a man with long hair and a bit of an artist’s aura.

But his manner of speech and attitude were very ordinary, as if he was the big brother next door going out to buy some vegetables.

“Now that everyone has arrived, let’s hurry.” The taller of the two women spoke, “I’m the first person who accepted this mission. I’ve found out some information earlier. You can call me Danny.”

Danny spoke the common language, but the three other members could hear that the pronunciation for her name was clearly different.

Gu Nan thought silently that this waa probably a cultivator from a plane that used a different language.

Then he also introduced himself: “Gu Nan.”

“Luo Sheng.”

“Lu Zhanyu.”

Gu Nan suddenly raised his head when he heard the last name and looked towards the last woman. Sure enough, she also looked towards him.

This time, their entire souls were reincarnated. Even if they changed bodies, the aura of their souls couldn’t be hidden. Thus, Gu Nan and Lu Zhanyu quickly recognized each other after some thought.

When Gu Nan first left Radiant Tower, he met a pair of sisters by chance. They were entrusted by Gu Nian to resolve the problem of Bai Luoluo’s Dao Heart, but they couldn’t help in the end.

Lu Zhanyu was the younger sister.

She and Gu Nan stared at each other. Lu Zhanyu merely raised the corners of her lips and gave him a deep, meaningful look, then immediately glanced away.

Gu Nan also looked away as they both pretended not to know each other, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

This woman’s behavior was completely different from when he first met her. ‘If she doesn’t have multiple personalities, then that means she’s been putting on a play previously… She even needs to act in front of her older sister. Why is that?’

The four became acquainted like this, and Danny began to introduce their current mission.

“The plane I’m from isn’t far from here. There is also a legend about the White Dew Goddess left behind on my plane,” Danny spoke slowly, her tone slightly grave.

“According to records, protecting the White Dew Goddess was an event that happened in history a long time ago. However, the outcome at that time was failure. The White Dew Goddess was invaded by demons and fell from grace to become the current Moon God.”

“In other words, this plane is a single-chance fragmented plane. The plane can no longer be reset once we start the mission—we won’t have the opportunity to start over.”

The other three frowned simultaneously when they heard this.

Right now, Gu Nan also wasn’t a newbie anymore. He also knew a lot about planes.

Planes like the Immortal Demon World were already considerably complete, so the rules of those planes formed independent systems. Besides the size, they were no different from ordinary planes.

Small planes, on the other hand, were mostly called fragmented planes because their rules were incomplete. It was like the “Azure City” mission he finished—the events inside that plane constantly repeated themselves and was in an unlimited loop.

It was precisely because of this that reincarnators could fail the “Azure City” mission many times.

But this current mission couldn’t be reset, which meant that they couldn’t afford to fail—this part was different from the game. At that time, “Protect the White Dew Goddess” was just an ordinary beginner dungeon.

There was no more information from Danny’s explanation. After all, she was also here for the first time.

On the other hand, Gu Nan’s mission message finally arrived.

?Dungeon’s Main Mission: Help the White Dew Goddess survive for five days

Mission Reward: Small?

It was a very simple message. There were hardly any effective tips, but Gu Nan wasn’t nervous; rather, he became relieved as soon as he came to the town center.

“Dear adventurers, welcome to White Dew Town.” An elder with white hair and beard walked up to them and bowed. “The demons are coming, and the goddess needs your help.”This was exactly the same White Dew Town from Gu Nan’s memories. Not even the NPCs’ character designs had changed. Gu Nan even knew that this elderly mayor was actually a crossdresser…
