Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-143

The starship headed for the Sixth Region set off. Gu Nan looked like an ordinary passenger, sitting quietly in the starship’s dining hall and staring at the starry sky outside.

The space scenery in Star Realm really was magnificent. Even in the Myriad Heavens Universe, it was still a rare sight.

Gu Nan became lazy ever since Lan Si fused with the Godstone.

The current him could still earn Evil Value even if he did nothing but lie down all day. The meager harvest from reincarnation missions couldn’t even enter his eyes anymore—the rewards from a hard day’s work might not even beat the gains from sitting around for an entire day.

His Evil Value had already risen to 310 in the past few days alone, and this was actually when Lan Si had a busy schedule and didn’t have time to cultivate properly.

Gu Nan’s current goal was to head to the Sixth Region and find the location of White Mist to obtain the method used to translate world missions.

Only by reading a large number of reincarnation missions and looking for one with particularly high profits would reincarnation be still worth Gu Nan’s time now.

“Sir, may I ask… Are you Mr. Lan Ta?” A respectful voice rang in Gu Nan’s ear.

He turned in surprise and saw a waiter standing beside him.

Gu Nan’s current identity was Lan Si’s older brother, Lan Ta.

This disguise might not be able to hide his identity for long, but as long as the name Gu Nan didn’t openly appear, it was enough for him to sneak into the Sixth Region.

And once he got there, he wouldn’t care if his identity was seen through anymore.

Ultimately, he wasn’t afraid of the Tier 4 existence behind the Bloodline Alliance; he just needed a starship as a means of transportation.

Unless the Tier 4 bigshot made a personal visit, Gu Nan wouldn’t even need to run. He could simply crush all opposition—he was practically invincible among Tier 3 cultivators now.

“That’s me. What’s the matter?”

Hearing Gu Nan’s affirmative answer, the waiter sighed in relief and hurriedly said, “Mr. Lan, your younger sister, Miss Lan Si, is in Hall 3. It seems that… she encountered some trouble.”

……

The starship Gu Nan and Lan Si rode was a flight that only the upper echelons of society could afford, so there weren’t many passengers on board at one time, and the interior of the starship was also decorated quite luxuriously and richly.

Hall 3 wasn’t far from the main hall. This hall was dedicated to entertainment.

Lan Si had always been a playful and restless person, so of course she didn’t have time to watch the stars with Gu Nan and instead ran here by herself to have some fun…

‘But even with her strength, she still ran into trouble?’

Gu Nan frowned slightly. Now that he had already boarded this starship, he no longer had as many scruples about his identity being exposed.

If worst came to worst, he’d just kill all the passengers and force the captain to pilot the ship to the Sixth Region.

But when he finally arrived, he realized that things weren’t what he thought.

Lan Si didn’t look like she was being bullied at all. Instead, she was glaring at a group of people confrontationally. Opposite her was a group of young adults, all gorgeously dressed. One could tell at first glance that they weren’t low-class citizens.

In the crowd of onlookers, a teen was murmuring with a small smile, “Cousin, her older brother came too. This is going to be a good show!”

The girl he called his cousin also smiled helplessly. “You brat, you only know how to play tricks like this all day long.”

Although her words were complaints, there was a sense of schadenfreude in her tone.

The two kept their voices very low, and they were even in the middle of a chattering crowd, so not even the people right next to them could hear them clearly. But what kind of physique did Gu Nan have? They might as well have spoken the words right into his ears.

Gu Nan’s slightly cold gaze swept across them. He was about to grab those two but paused slightly when he saw the girl.

This wasn’t because of anything like her appearance or temperament, but because he knew this girl.

Tang Xuan—Gu Nan’s old acquaintance in Radiant Tower. When Gu Nan first came to Star Realm, he was kidnapped to Radiant Tower. Tang Xuan was one of the examiners who oversaw the mission that served as his entrance exam.

Later, Tang Xuan was also one of the principal people responsible for the development of Immortal Demon World.

Gu Nan never saw her again after he finished the mission in Immortal Demon World and left Radiant Tower. He didn’t expect to see her on this starship today.

‘Did she also leave Radiant Tower, or is she going to the Sixth Region at Radiant Tower’s request?’

Gu Nan glanced at her, and these thoughts instantly flashed through his mind, but then he set them aside and walked up slowly.

“What happened?” He walked up beside Lan Si and asked indifferently.

Lan Si was still in a glaring contest with the group in front of her and was unaware of Gu Nan’s arrival. She got a fright when she heard his voice and quickly turned her head. “B-Brother, why are you here…”

Originally, she didn’t intend to disturb Gu Nan, but someone must have notified him.

Gu Nan didn’t even need to think about it. Obviously, that nephew of Tang Xuan’s sent someone to inform him.

Before Lan Si could speak, someone in the opposing crowd heard her words and immediately said, “Hey, you’re her older brother, right? You arrived just in time. Your little sister won’t even give Miss Fu any face. What do you have to say?”

Gu Nan completely ignored that. Instead, his eyes swept among them and saw a young girl in the center. The rest of the group revered her like the stars cupping themselves around the moon. This was clearly the Miss Fu in question.

And at this time, Lan Si also recounted what happened in a subdued tone.

Speaking of which, this was a very simple matter.

Star Realm had a popular poker game called “Betting Ten Thousand”. Lan Si had been an expert at it ever since she learned it, so of course she couldn’t resist playing a few rounds here as well.

With her ability, she naturally crushed all her opponents quite easily, which made all these young masters and ladies feel like they lost face, so they thought of asking for help—that is, from Miss Fu.

Unfortunately, she had something to do for the time being and didn’t arrive until Lan Si was ready to leave.

Although Lan Si liked to play cards, she was a person with a strong sense of self. If she says she’s leaving, then she’ll definitely leave. How can she stay behind to play two more rounds just because the latecomer is a bigshot?

“I heard that she’s the daughter of a Dao Lord in the Sixth Region, and she’s even a celebrity famous throughout Star Realm…” Lan Si described Miss Fu like that.

The Sixth Region had always adhered to ancient customs, so Dao Halls both large and small could be seen in this region. They were often established by top Domain Stage experts.

The lords of these Dao Halls were honored as “Dao Lords,” and as time went by, this title even became a separate cultivation level, corresponding to the experts who comprehended their own exclusive laws.

Based on Gu Nan’s understanding, a Dao Lord was equivalent to a Tier 3 figure whose skills had reached arcana. Some of them were worthy of the name, such as Yue Qianleng and Wei Donghai; some were just token members of that group, like Wang Chen.

And Gu Nan really had heard of this Miss Fu before.

Star Realm was a semi-technological plane. Its various entertainment industries were quite developed. Famous singers and film stars also had great influence, and Miss Fu was one of the best.

Her real name was Fu Jing, and she was a star actress, singer, and TV personality. Even in the faraway Ninth Region, her films and songs could often be seen.

Even if Gu Nan had never cared about these aspects of entertainment, he still inadvertently saw some information about her.

Just as Gu Nan recalled this information in his mind, Fu Jing also came forward and said, “We don’t want to be overbearing either. It’s just that upon seeing Miss Lan’s superb card skills, I really…”

“Let’s go.” Gu Nan didn’t even look at her as he patted Lan Si on the shoulder and turned to leave.

The scene froze.
