Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-362

Christina was a young girl with long coffee-colored hair and soft facial features.

Her face was slightly pale because she’d just finished performing the siring for Zhong Die, but she still regarded Gu Nan warily, along with Sylvia, who suddenly appeared.

"Who are you?" Christina stared at the two but made no move. Anyone who could soundlessly appear before her clearly wasn't simple.

Christina's voice was clear and crisp, as if she really was a young girl. In fact, Gu Nan knew that she actually was very young. She was one of the rare younger generations in the vampire clan.

If the player didn’t interfere, then she would become the future head of the Raymond clan and lead the clan forward, eventually joining the ranks of a powerful god.

She could even be seen in the final war among gods.

But right now, she was just a little fellow who hadn’t even reached Legend Rank yet.

"Don't be nervous. I'm her friend." Gu Nan smiled lightly and pointed to Zhong Die, who was lying in bed drowsily, emitting a thick aura of blood.

Sylvia noticed the vial of blood in Gu Nan's hand and wondered, "Is this… the vampire race’s origin blood?"

The origin of the vampire race naturally referred to the blood of their ancestor.

"Mm." Gu Nan casually nodded, knowing that the other party was curious about this thing’s origin, as well as…

Sylvia took a deep breath and warned, "You'll get her killed. If the vampire race’s origin blood is used on ordinary people… it’s incompatible with their constitution."

Gu Nan cast her a glance but didn’t respond.

He’d heard the phrase "incompatible with their constitution" many times in the game. It wasn’t unfamiliar at all.

Because from the start, the origin blood was an item prepared exclusively for players. Unfortunately, the native NPCs couldn’t enjoy this benefit.

If you ask the gods, you’ll get the answer of "incompatible with their constitution."

In fact, if not for the fact that this quest line was specifically designed for players to change their race to vampires, how could two outsider vampires show up here so coincidentally?

The reason Gu Nan used this on Zhong Die was to see what would happen if Zhong Die took the player’s route.

If this was feasible, then Gu Nan even wanted to use similar methods to create more "protagonist-type NPCs"—he knew many different ways for players to change races or classes.

Of course the natives couldn’t enjoy the benefits given exclusively to players.

But although the natives from the World of Gods couldn’t, what about people from the Myriad Heavens Universe? Gu Nan stared at Zhong Die's face, his gaze deep and even somewhat expectant.

As for how he used a little girl like Zhong Die as an experiment and what kind of risk she was undertaking… Those were outside of Gu Nan's consideration. In any case, he wasn’t the one taking the risk.

After a long time, Zhong Die's breathing remained very even, but she still showed no signs of waking up.

The amount of time she spent unconscious had far exceeded the vampire clan’s normal siring process, and her lips even became a little dry and cracked due to going a long time without food.

Sylvia was sure that it was impossible for a normal person to fuse with origin blood. "It's useless. She’ll die before long."

"She should’ve died a long time ago if this was a normal situation," Gu Nan said with certainty. "Even Legend Rank vampire candidates undergoing the siring wouldn’t last more than half an hour on average."

The phrase "on average" made Sylvia frown, as if she could hear the countless bloodshed behind it.

A few moments later, Zhong Die didn’t let Gu Nan down and actually woke up.

Her gaze was slightly dazed. She looked around in bewilderment, as if confused about where she was.

Wordlessly, Gu Nan waved his hand and had a shadow blade slice open Zhong Die's arm. The latter suddenly started bleeding profusely.

But surprisingly, her blood was actually a dark golden color.

"It's a success!" Gu Nan's heart lifted. It was indeed possible to break through the NPCs’ “physiological limits” by using natives from the Myriad Heavens Universe!

The sharp pain sobered her up. Zhong Die let out a strange scream and hurriedly pulled her hand back.

Immediately, she was surprised to find that the wound on her arm had already stopped bleeding, and the gash was even scabbing over.

"As expected of the vampire race!" Zhong Die marveled. She thought it was because of a vampire’s physique.

But Christina's eyes widened. As a vampire, she knew better than anyone else that a newborn vampire couldn’t possibly possess this kind of ability!

……

In the days that followed, Gu Nan just swaggered into the sanctuary and started living here, training Zhong Die every day and also collecting various data on her new physique.

The conclusion was that Zhong Die's fusion of the origin blood was very successful and had practically the same result as a player—she was just missing an Evil God physique.

On the other hand, since Cain's Left Hand was still in Gu Nan's hands, the Raymond clan was extremely welcoming about him living here.

Of course, if he didn’t display such terrifying power earlier, the vampire clan’s welcome wouldn’t have been this kind of welcome.

In the face of a powerful figure suspected of being a god, even the Raymond clan didn’t dare to threaten him.

They could only hope to use the resources at hand to exchange for the Ancestor’s Staff, or wait until Gu Nan was in a good mood and bestow this divine weapon upon them.

In fact, Gu Nan had already turned away over 20 vampires, all of whom came to his door trying to throw themselves into his arms.

Vampires historically had such a tradition and were adept at taking advantage of their beautiful appearances. Thankfully, over half of those who came to his door were women.

Gu Nan's assessment of Zhong Die was all-encompassing. Her physical strength, recovery ability, speed, sensitivity towards laws, and even beauty—all of them were evaluated one by one.

All these data were strictly recorded, fully demonstrating Zhong Die's current constitution and the entire origin blood modification process.

Two months later, Zhong Die had practically transformed into another person.

The current Zhong Die had long blonde hair. Her skin was fair and flawless, her pupils were an attractive coffee color, and she even grew by several centimeters, making her entire person appear tall and well-proportioned.

He was afraid that not even Lu Xinhuan would recognize her now.

On this day, Gu Nan was still training little Zhong Die as usual when a sudden clamor came from outside.

"What happened?" Gu Nan had little reaction to the commotion, while Zhong Die had already asked impatiently.

After suffering unspeakable misery in Gu Nan's training program, Zhong Die couldn't wait for something to happen right now.

"No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you," Christina poured a bucket of cold water over Zhong Die’s head and directly extinguished her fantasy.

As Zhong Die's sire, she would also occasionally come to supervise Zhong Die's training.

Zhong Die couldn't help pouting, but Gu Nan said with a smile, "Actually, it really does have something to do with her this time."

……

Outside the sanctuary, Lu Xinhuan glared at Lady Mara with a frosty expression. "I've come to request a meeting with Lord Gu Nan."

Lady Mara didn’t have any good feelings towards Qinghe Pavilion. She revealed a cold smile. "It depends on whether that Lord is willing to see you."

Lu Xinhuan, however, didn’t say anything and just pointed to the two figures behind her.

"For the sake of these two, I believe that Lord will be willing to give me this opportunity."

The two behind her were a man and a woman. The woman was Shana, who’d already advanced to Legend Rank by this point, while the man was Zi Dian, who had a long sword hanging from his waist and a helpless look on his face.
