Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-296-30041322

Gu Nan understood the principle of "equivalent exchange," but he’d always maintained a relatively approving attitude towards it.

For players, if everything was an equivalent exchange, then what meaning was there in playing games?

Players were more willing to be a swarm of locusts, frantically plundering everything in sight and strengthening themselves with the highest efficiency, never taking into account the thoughts of the plundered.

‘I only need to buy scrolls, equipment, and potions if I can't beat the monsters. If I can already beat them, then of course I'll just kill them and take the dropped items.’

The six elders looked at each other. They had already realized what Su Yufei’s courting-death actions had caused, but right now, it was more important to survive this.

"Yes. My Lord, please wait a moment. We will offer up the translation method immediately…" Finally, one of the elders came forward.

Gu Nan nodded slightly and didn't say much else. He’d always been very patient with the things he needed.

In the Indigo Mound tribe, a complete translation method was what he needed, and so was Red Tail. What he wanted wasn’t only the translation method itself, but also Red Tail’s talent.

After managing White Mist for hundreds of years, Red Tail was quite experienced in running a reincarnator organization.

If she was to rebuild White Mist, she’d definitely be able to do it much more efficiently than if Gu Nan attempted it himself, which was his ultimate goal.

Gu Nan needed a large quantity of mist mirrors to open up enough personal dungeons for him. But it was a pity that there were no more talents like Red Tail in the Indigo Mound tribe.

The reason was very simple. Besides her, members of the Indigo Mound tribe merely treated the translation method as a tribute to be offered up, and no one had ever used it themselves.

……

Deep in the starry sky.

"Truly unexpected," Red’s calm voice contained some rare surprise. This surprise was naturally aimed at Gu Nan.

At Red and Zuo Zuo’s level, it wasn’t hard for them to see through Gu Nan’s true cultivation realm after he attacked.

"He’s probably the youngest Star Ruler ever." Zuo Zuo lamented with a small chuckle, "What a pity…"

Of course Red knew what he was regretting. Such a talented person had once crossed paths with both of them, but neither of them grasped the opportunity.

The opportunity to recruit him, as well as the opportunity to kill him.

And now, it was impossible to recruit or kill him.

Star Rulers were all equal. Very few Star Rulers would willingly serve other Star Rulers. And of course, it was much harder to kill Star Rulers than it was to kill Void Cutters.

Red fell silent, but Zuo Zuo continued to speak, "He just came back to take away his own things… You still have a month at most. If she doesn't make a move, you will no longer have a chance."

The confrontation between the two had been deadlocked for many years. Of course they weren’t just standing here foolishly. Zuo Zuo had been incessantly putting pressure on Star Realm.

So Zuo Zuo knew very well that Red was a spent force and wouldn’t be able to last much longer. If Ying Ge wanted to make a move against him, now was the last chance.

Red stared at him silently, and her eyes seemed to contain a smile.

"You're scared."

……

The complete translation method was quickly placed in front of Gu Nan, and Red Tail became an "appraiser" again.

The person who brought the translation method to Gu Nan was Bai Qing, the elder who always had a favorable impression of Red Tail.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. Besides Red Tail, no one else in the tribe has ever established a reincarnator organization before…" Bai Qing said pitifully, but her heart was full of regret.

Only after learning Gu Nan's specific requirements did she realize just how lucky Red Tail was—so being the leader of an reincarnator organization was her real value!

Gu Nan was a little regretful that he was only able to get one Red Rail, but he still nodded and accepted the translation method, then turned to leave with Red Tail.

But Qian Han's voice rang out at just the right time, "Your Excellency Gu Nan, this old man has something to tell you. Your Excellency, please wait a moment."

At this time, Qian Han was bowing down slightly while standing next to Young Master Jin—to be more exact, he was standing next to Young Master Jin’s corpse.

Even his skull had caved inwards from the punch. Even with a golden giant’s vitality, the most he could do was last a few minutes longer. Right now, the god of death had already silently descended upon Young Master Jin.

Qian Han felt extremely helpless when he realized that Young Master Jin was beyond saving. After all, he was the one who took the video of Gu Nan and went to find the golden clan.

Now that such an event had transpired, if he didn’t give a proper explanation or compensation, how could the golden giants let him go?

He had already planned things out. No matter how Gu Nan answered, he had a way to lead the conversation to the desired follow-up topic…

But in reality, Gu Nan’s response never came no matter how long he maintained the bowed position. Qian Han raised his head in slight bewilderment. Gu Nan’s figure had already disappeared from view a long time ago.

"Elder Qian…" Bai Qing stood beside him and said awkwardly, "That one has already left."

……

Gu Nan didn't care at all about what Qian Han had to say. He paid a visit to Star Realm and left with what he wanted—that was all.

"My Lord, you killed a golden giant just like this…" Red Tail said somewhat uneasily from next to Gu Nan, "After all, that's an otherworldly clan."

"Hmm, what's that?" Gu Nan asked. His entire knowledge regarding the golden giants was basically limited to the appearance of Young Master Jin’s true body.

Red Tail stared at him like she’d seen a ghost. ‘To think this one actually didn’t know anything!’

"There are many fantastic races that live outside the Myriad Heavens Universe. They are called otherworldly clans."

Red Tail had never traveled outside the Myriad Heavens Universe in her life, and her true body had never even left Star Realm before, but this didn’t affect her understanding of the outside world.

Gu Nan, however, knew more about this topic.

‘Beings that live beyond the Myriad Heavens Universe? Perhaps they’re connected to the World of Gods. After I settle matters here, I can investigate that,’ Gu Nan rubbed his chin and thought.

His musings didn’t affect Gu Nan's actions. He had already taken Red Tail inside the Divine Kingdom’s Evil God Temple. A faint purple light shone down, covering Red Tail.

Red Tail didn't resist when the purple light fell on her. Instead, she calmly accepted the baptism of that sinister energy.

Just a moment later, she opened her eyes again. Traces of purple were now mixed in with her originally dark pupils.

Gu Nan, on the other hand, nodded with satisfaction. At present, Red Tail had successfully become his second apostle. There were no requirements for the recruitment of apostles. It only needed the target’s submission.

But this submission was by no means superficial, or else it wouldn’t be acknowledged by the Evil God Temple at all. Even if someone could deceive the Evil God Temple for a while, once they started harboring disloyal thoughts, they would immediately be removed from the ranks of the apostles.

"My Lord." Red Tail, who regained consciousness, prostrated herself to show her absolute obedience to Gu Nan.

"Mm." Gu Nan just nodded calmly. "Your mission is to rebuild White Mist. Take the complete translation method with you, select suitable target planes as soon as possible, and establish White Mist branches in various locations."

Red Tail knew what Gu Nan needed her to do a long time ago, so she nodded at this time.

Then Gu Nan continued, "Do you know any relatively famous mission experts?"

Gu Nan wanted to recruit apostles to farm dungeons for him. The most suitable targets were naturally people who completed missions in reincarnator organizations.

Red Tail stared blankly, then quickly answered, "Yes, I know someone who is very suitable. It’s just that…"

"Just what?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrows.

"She has already washed her hands of this business for many years. Right now, she’s living in retirement with numerous children and grandchildren. I’m afraid she won’t be willing to come out of retirement."

"That’s quite alright. Just kill her entire family."
