Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-409

"Eldest Miss, please come with us," two men in black stood in front of Zhong Die, their voices respectful but resolute.

"Who are you guys?" Zhong Die tilted her head, her expression innocent.

The two looked at each other, and the one on the left stepped forward. "Shadow guards 356 and 357 under the Commerce Association greet the Eldest Miss."

Zhong Die blinked as it suddenly dawned on her. "So Daddy sent you guys… Can you tell him I don't want to go back yet?"

The man who opened his mouth shook his head. "You must at least go back and meet His Lordship."

"Then I won't be able to come out again." Zhong Die pressed her lips into a thin line, her expression full of regret. The next second, a red light flashed in front of her, and her right hand had already extended out at some point.

The red light came so quickly that the man in front of Zhong Die couldn’t react at all, while Zhong Die's right hand had already plunged into his heart.

……

"Useless! They’re all useless!"

Old Zhou's real name was Zhou Shi. His identity was similar to Lu Xinhuan's, and he was also one of the vice presidents of Qinghe Realm’s Commerce Association. But at this moment, Old Zhou possessed none of the cool and reserved air of a vice president and was full of rage and frustration.

"You know full well that there’s a group of vampires around the Eldest Miss, yet you guys still sent two trash over. Tell me, are you trash or not!"

Crash!

A porcelain cup was viciously smashed into the ground, signaling how Old Zhou's anger had reached the point of complete eruption.

His subordinates stood before him, their backs ramrod straight. Their heads were lowered, and they didn’t dare say a word.

Old Zhou cursed that the two who took action were trash, and the people here who handled matters were also trash, yet none of them dare to refute him. To put it bluntly, he wasn’t wrong.

Qinghe Realm’s distinguished Commerce Association handled the entire mission, yet they actually allowed a spoiled young lady like Zhong Die to escape from their hands?

If this happened in the past, back when the Commerce Association had just expanded and was at its most militarized, they would’ve had to take responsibility for this failure by committing suicide.

What's more, it wouldn’t be easy to find Zhong Die again now that they let her get away. She wasn’t stupid. How could she still show herself when she knew people wanted to capture her?

It was only when Old Zhou grew tired from cursing that one person carefully spoke up, "Actually, we already used quite a few methods to lure away all the vampires around Eldest Miss… The two shadow guards were killed by Eldest Miss herself."

"Eldest Miss killed them herself?" That finally stunned Old Zhou slightly, and he frowned.

He also just received the news and didn’t have time to learn the details yet. Only when he heard his subordinate’s words did he get a shock.

Old Zhou had watched Zhong Die grow up. He knew better than anyone else just what kind of cultivation and what kind of personality she had.

Yet she was now capable of killing two Void Cutters after going to Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom?

Even if these two only just entered Void Cutter Realm, anyone capable of killing them would undoubtedly also have to be a Void Cutter…

That subordinate snuck a glance at Old Zhou's expression and continued, "Eldest Miss has already advanced to Void Cutter Realm, and she… seems to have already turned into a vampire."

Crash!

Old Zhou shattered the other cup on his desk. He was about to break into a cursing fit again when his mind felt a little dazed.

The next instant, a silver-robed figure appeared in front of him, while the corpses of his subordinates slowly crumpled to the ground at the same time.

When he looked closely, all of their heads had already been cleanly separated from their bodies.

"You…" Old Zhou got up abruptly. By the time he recognized the newcomer’s identity, cold sweat dripped down from his forehead.

‘Now that news has spread throughout the Myriad Heavens, the other party should’ve already gone to the World of Gods, so how can he appear here? No wait, this seems to be a clone…’

At the very least, Old Zhou was someone who often met various Star Rulers, so he quickly recognized the other party as a clone.

But what made him feel helpless was that even Gu Nan’s clone could still kill Old Zhou easily.

"There’s something I want you to do," Gu Nan's voice didn’t contain any emotion and seemed incomparably natural, as if he was instructing his own subordinate.

Old Zhou hurriedly forced a smile onto his face. "Please command me. As long as this humble servant can do it…”

"I want a batch of space-time crystals. I'll give you three days to transport them to this plane." Gu Nan said indifferently, "Don’t play tricks. Within three steps of me, not even Zhong Qinghe can protect you."

Old Zhou's heart was full of bitterness, truly hating the fact that he wasn’t inside Qinghe Realm right now and just had to do his business in this small plane instead.

However, a vice president like him wouldn’t be in headquarters most of the time, so there was nothing that could be done about it.

……

That Zhong Die could kill two Void Cutters by herself not only shocked Old Zhou, but even Gu Nan was a little surprised.

The player route was indeed powerful. Zhong Die, who possessed the origin blood, leveled up at a speed not much slower than normal players. At most, she just lacked direction.

But this also reinforced his idea of building a player army. He told Old Zhou to look for space-time crystals precisely to transport a group of potential seedlings to the World of Gods.

If he could have a player army in hand, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage in the next Divine Kingdom War with regards to Tier 4 forces.

No organization could resist the onslaught of a group of Tier 4 troops taking the player route.

Gu Nan originally intended to set this plan in motion and even had most of the seedlings ready but didn’t have time to collect the space-time crystals yet.

Many people knew about Gu Nan’s clone, and inside the Divine Kingdom, Red Tail, Lan Si, and even Yan Xiaoxiao were most likely being watched.

As soon as the saint clone revealed itself, it would be immediately captured.

While the clone was keeping an eye on Old Zhou in the small plane, Gu Nan's main body arrived at Dragon Realm in the World of Gods, where Sylvia was indeed already waiting for him.

"How did you know I’d be at this entrance?" Sylvia asked with slight curiosity when she saw Gu Nan arrive.

The World of Gods was different from the Myriad Heavens. Other than the several main planes, normal planes like Dragon Realm couldn’t be entered or exited at will.

The space here was much denser, so there was no such thing as teleporting here at will, which was why normal planes all had fixed entrances.

However, Dragon Realm was also a well-known large plane and had once almost become one of the main planes back when the ancient Dragon God was still alive, so there were definitely many entrances.

"You only know this entrance, right?" Gu Nan didn't even turn his head back, slowly stepping inside Dragon Realm. "I heard Dvalin taught you a lesson before?"

Dvalin was the leader of the metal dragon clan, a dragon of considerable age.

When Sylvia was young, she once had a conflict with Dvalin. At that time, the old Dragon God was still alive, so the result was that they both had to smooth things over and make peace, which didn’t end well for either of them.

The Dragon God later died, but Sylvia wasn’t someone who held long grudges, so she hadn’t thought of revenge for many years.

That is, until Gu Nan brought up this matter. She glanced at him in astonishment. "You even know about this matter?"

This was tens of thousands of years ago, and it was an infinitesimally small matter. Without personally experiencing that era, it was almost impossible for someone to know about it.

The look she cast at Gu Nan was colored with suspicion, and it seemed she could now narrow down her speculation about the other party's identity to a very small range.
