Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-281-30041322

Gu Nan, who was over five meters tall and resembled a small giant, gradually emerged from the sky and landed next to Qin Fengye's corpse.

Qin Fengye was also a top-notch Void Cutter expert, but she couldn’t resist at all when faced with deity-mode Gu Nan.

Deity’s Descent didn’t just give Gu Nan resistance against laws, but it also further strengthened his agility and strength.

The Gu Nan who transformed into a deity had already reached a limit in his physical strength. Under divinity’s influence, his physical body alone was enough to shatter space.

An existence the mortal realm couldn’t withstand—that was a deity.

Gu picked up Qin Fengye like a chicken, tossed her aside, then raised his hand and pressed it into the origin.

"No!" This roar came from Baili Tuo. The snake-headed person finally found an opportunity to escape while Lan Si was distracted. But before he could rejoice, he saw this scene.

He didn’t know who Gu Nan was, but he knew perfectly well what Gu Nan was doing.

He planned to destroy this origin!

That’s right. Gu Nan wanted to destroy this origin that was both the symbolic and actual foundation of Immortal Demon World!

A golden hand mercilessly stabbed into the origin ball of light. The origin, which was clearly intangible, actually gave off a shattering sound like a tangible object.

In the past, Gu Nan still needed to research and analyze what a world origin was, but it was completely unnecessary now.

Because the Evil God Temple told him that a world origin was divine fire, which was a term he was familiar with.

Gu Nan didn’t know how to handle world origins, but he knew how to handle divine fire!

Gu Nan's hand stirred gently, and the origin that once tormented him suddenly turned from black to blue, then back to black, and finally, the two colors each occupied half of the origin.

The sound of something breaking in space became more and more obvious, and the origin was about to shatter.

A gust of wind swept over. Baili Tuo saw an opportunity and appeared behind Gu Nan with a flicker, slashing his blade down on the back of Gu Nan’s neck!

While it was true that Baili Tuo was rash, he was also a top Void Cutter expert, so his grasp of the battle situation was absolutely top-notch.

This golden guy instantly killed Qin Fengye upon appearing, but then he busied himself with destroying the origin. What did this imply?

‘This implies that the other party doesn’t have much time. Destroying the origin is his top priority at the moment, so of course I have to interrupt that!’

In Baili Tuo's not-too-clever head, he didn’t even have time to consider his own safety. All he could think of right now was— ‘Kill! Live human! Food!’

His blade fell unimpeded, hitting Gu Nan's neck hard.

Baili Tuo's face revealed some joy, but his expression changed in the next second.

Clang!

Baili Tuo's broadsword successfully cut Gu Nan, but the latter didn’t even move. Not even his golden skin was damaged at all. Instead, the law on Baili Tuo’s broadsword disappeared, and his blade broke!

"This is…" Baili Tuo seemed to realize something, and his eye twitched like crazy, but it was too late to escape.

Gu Nan coldly turned half of his body to the side. The hand inside the origin remained unmoved, while he casually flicked his left hand and whipped Baili Tuo in the face.

This Void Cutter figure didn't even have time to turn his head before his entire head was sent flying.

No, to be precise, his head plus the space where his head used to be were both shattered by Gu Nan's blow.

Baili Tuo's headless corpse slowly fell down, but there was still a black hole in the space his head used to be, as if someone had dug out a piece of the picture. It looked incomparably eerie.

Gu Nan's indifferent gaze turned back to the origin again. Immortal Demon World’s origin had become distinct. The left side was blue and the right side was black, corresponding to the part Zuo Zuo left behind and the part Gu Nan already corroded, respectively.

Under the manipulation of Gu Nan's deity physique, these two parts were gradually separating, and this origin seemed like it would split into two halves.

This was Gu Nan’s goal. He was trying to tear down Immortal Demon World’s origin and destroy the part belonging to Zuo Zuo, leaving behind only his own.

With his current understanding of origins, coupled with the powerful strength of the deity physique, it might just be possible.

But Gu Nan soon revealed a regretful expression, because he realized that his goal probably couldn’t be achieved—the reason was simple: there wasn’t enough time.

While Gu Nan wasn’t familiar with a world’s origin, he was all too familiar with divine fire, especially in a world that once had an owner like Immortal Demon World. The world’s origin was just highly concentrated divine fire.

Once he started, Gu Nan only needed a single glance to tell that it would take him at least a day to completely separate Zuo Zuo’s power from the world’s origin.

But how could his Deity’s Descent state last so long?

Right now, Gu Nan could already feel his power gradually fading. This "transformation" was nearing its end.

With no other alternative, Gu Nan could only suppress the regret in his heart and make an astonishing decision—he suddenly threw a punch straight at the origin!

"Teacher?!” Yan Xiaoxiao's figure rolled out from the side, staring at Gu Nan in shock.

In fact, she had always been hiding on the sidelines in order to act as the last line of defense. If Gu Nan hadn't appeared, perhaps the one to risk her life to stop Qin Fengye would’ve been her.

But it was precisely because of this that Yan Xiaoxiao couldn’t understand Gu Nan's act.

This punch of his truly intended to destroy the origin!

‘Why? Why would he go to such great lengths to protect the origin, only to destroy it with his own hands? And doesn’t Teacher know that once the origin is destroyed, this world will… fall apart?’

At the very least, Yan Xiaoxiao was someone who almost fused with another person and almost gained control over this world’s origin, so she understood the importance of the origin.

But Gu Nan didn't hesitate in the slightest. With a heavy punch, the blue and black origin finally began to dissipate.

"Tsk tsk, how ruthless…" As the origin dissipated, an illusory figure finally emerged, floating in front of Gu Nan.

"To stop me from taking back my origin at all costs, you’d even destroy this world?" The figure quietly looked at Gu Nan.

The left and right sides of this figure were completely different. On the left, there was a crazed-looking girl, while on the right, there was a gentle and peaceful-looking boy.

This was Zuo Zuo’s shadow. After many years, Gu Nan finally saw him again, this Star Ruler he accidentally met through a personal dungeon when Gu Nan was still Tier 3.

Now, however, Gu Nan didn’t have much fear when he saw Zuo Zuo.

For one thing, he now had a deity’s physique, and his own power was much stronger than before. For another, this illusion in front of him was just a residual piece of soul Zuo Zuo left behind in Immortal Demon World.

If Zuo Zuo could take the time to visit in person, even a clone would be enough to forcibly seize the origin back. He wouldn’t need to take so many twists and turns at all.

"I might still be able to preserve this world, but I can’t leave the origin for you." Gu Nan smiled. "Besides, you'd better worry about yourself first."

"Oh?" Zuo Zuo's expression was still calm. Not even the girl's face changed much.

"Next round will be that woman’s turn, won’t it?" Gu Nan smiled and added, "I hear you have an older sister?"

Zuo Zuo's expression finally froze.
