Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-507

"Austin?" Song Fei's voice traveled over from the void as his figure slowly emerged.

The holy light stopped, revealing Austin's figure. This Ruler of Light and Justice had a lanky figure and was nearly two meters tall. He wore a light gold robe made of holy light, while his appearance was typical of Westerners.

During the Great War, Song Fei left everything to Fang Chaoyun and sat quietly in the void precisely to monitor the movements of the thirteen greater gods on the opposing side.

But he had to focus all his energy here in order to do this, making it difficult to pay attention to what’s happening with the Great War.

"I didn't expect you to be the first to come." Song Fei looked a little curious.

Of course Song Fei knew this person, the one known as the only Tier 15 greater god in the world and the God of Light whose might suppressed the entire World of Gods.

Although he was curious as to why the other party was the first to show up, he wasn’t really afraid.

For top-level existences like them, level only meant a quantitative difference, but what determined victory or defeat was often a qualitative difference.

Austin's ability to prop up the Light Faction all by himself wasn’t reliant on his level, but on his simultaneous rule over the two apex laws of light and justice.

"I'm not here for the war." Austin shook his head. "Your side’s people captured my sister Sylvia."

Song Fei was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who did this?"

"I don't know yet." Austin's eyes were slightly cold. "After entering the Myriad Heavens, I can find her within three days at most."

Song Fei fell silent. Letting Austin enter the Myriad Heavens at this time was risky. If he hit Academic Heaven with an attack in passing, there would be no need to continue this war.

But now that Austin came up with this reason, he obviously wouldn’t take no for an answer.

A ruler slowly appeared in front of Song Fei; he no longer planned to settle this with words.

But he didn’t expect Austin to react even faster. Just as the ruler emerged, holy light suddenly shot out and hit Song Fei's ruler.

Light! Endless light!

Real light was far from the world’s impression of it—only having a sacred and gentle side. Rather, it was also the most tyrannical existence in the world.

Overwhelm everything and assimilate everything. There was nothing within the holy light’s reach that could not be purified. This was the essence of the holy light.

Song Fei fought Austin for the first time, but in just one exchange, he saw the most powerful god’s domineering power. The holy light seemed to be everywhere, knocking him down and squeezing out a passage past him.

However, just when the holy light was about to slip past, a blue radiance began to flash above, and a horsetail whisk brushed out from the void, directly beating the holy light down.

"The Myriad Heavens isn’t a place you can break into at will." Yu Lian watched coldly as Austin appeared. With a flick of her right hand, the whisk floated back to rest on her left elbow.

"What an annoying light," a voice rang out behind Austin. The River Styx seemed to flow in reverse, and powers from the underworld poured down from the sky.

A young man in a black Daoist robe curled his lips slightly, having already appeared above Austin at some point.

He was one of the Thirteen Heavens, Qin Guanruo of Underworld Heaven.

As a god, Austin wanted to force his way into the Myriad Heavens. This was a major taboo. Generally, the Unified Dao existences of the Thirteen Heavens rarely showed themselves, yet two more arrived in the blink of an eye.

Qin Guanruo seemed like a specter that fell from the sky, but before he could fully materialize, a gleam of light suddenly lit up.

It seemed as if the boundless holy light spread out—like the earth holding up the sky—pushing back the underworld. Two completely different laws constantly collided and destroyed each other, creating shock waves capable of obliterating everything.

But everyone present was a Unified Dao Realm powerhouse, so they naturally weren’t affected by this aftershock.

However, the collision of two powers drowned out all the energy signatures in their vicinity. None of the three Unified Dao cultivators noticed that a ray of holy light stealthily separated from the rest and quickly shot into the Myriad Heavens.

By the time they noticed it, it was already too late to stop it.

Even Austin had no intention of confronting three Unified Dao powers head-on, but he achieved his goal.

"He sent a clone. This was his purpose from the beginning." Yu Lian's eyes narrowed slightly. She realized what Austin was doing as soon as she glanced at that ray of light.

Void Grotto Heaven had always regarded itself as the most authentic Daoist sect and was the leader of all sects in the Myriad Heavens, so it was necessary to step up at this time.

"Looks like he’s telling the truth," Qin Guanruo remarked from the side.

If it was just a clone, he wouldn’t be able to cause much damage. They could easily subdue him as soon as he showed himself, so there was nothing to worry about.

Austin definitely didn’t run over just to greet them and throw a clone into the Myriad Heavens. In all likelihood, his sister really was missing.

Yu Lian said, "Since he didn't come here for the war, let’s just let him go. But Song Fei, your disciple doesn't even care about the Great War now?"

Song Fei frowned and quickly glanced towards his own astral world. Sure enough, Fang Chaoyun was nowhere to be seen. A quick search revealed that… Comrade Fang was staying at Gu Nan's place.

"How irresponsible!" The corners of Song Fei’s lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help cursing.

……

Moments later, Fang Chaoyun hurried to Academic Heaven and saw Song Fei standing there with a dark expression while Tang Jie—his junior martial brother—stood behind Song Fei, flashing him a helpless expression.

"M-Master…" Fang Chaoyun carefully walked up to Song Fei, like an elementary school student who had done something wrong.

"You still remembered to come back? Why don’t you wait until the Great War is over to return?" Song Fei didn't give Fang Chaoyun a chance to speak and scolded him on the spot.

In fact, Song Fei focused all his attention on keeping an eye on the thirteen greater gods, not daring to be distracted for a second for fear that a greater god would secretly attack the weaker cultivators below him.

Yet Comrade Fang squandered the precious time he worked so hard to buy to deal with Gu Nan instead. How could Song Fei not be furious?

Fang Chaoyun didn't dare argue and could only bow his head silently. Just when he wanted to explain the situation, his expression suddenly changed.

"Master, something terrible is happening!"

……

Sylvia didn't know how long she’d been imprisoned. All she could touch was darkness.

All actions were impossible and all laws were restricted. She could only try to use her divine body to collide against her prison to eliminate the law of shadows that bound her.

She didn't know how long it would take to escape with this method, but it was the only thing she could do.

Whenever Sylvia had to stop and rest after over-exhausting her divine body, she couldn’t help wondering: ‘Will Brother realize I’m missing? If he does, will he be able to find me?’

If given another chance, she would definitely visit the Holy Light Divine Kingdom every day to ensure that Austin would discover her disappearance as soon as she went missing.

‘Too bad… Huh?’

Sylvia suddenly sensed that something was emitting a faint light in front of her chest. It was a pendant, like a ray of holy light shining in the boundless darkness.
