Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-546

The World of Gods.

Just when Gu Nan was wrecking Three Buddha Heaven and slaughtering all the monks, a small incident also occurred in the World of Gods.

It was indeed a very insignificant event. The mighty Ruler of Time, Valen, accidentally discovered an extraordinarily-talented young boy while strolling through the mortal world, so he brought him back to his Divine Kingdom.

Needless to say, the little boy became the new Saint in the main temple and received the greater god’s inheritance. Such things happened from time to time; there was nothing unusual about it.

But the truly extraordinary event happened later.

This little boy indeed displayed amazing talent. In particular, his sensitivity to the law of time far exceeded normal.

The apostle responsible for mentoring him was overjoyed. Not only did he try his best to teach the boy, but he also quickly reported the news to Valen.

However, just when everyone in the main temple was happy that the Divine Kingdom had a little genius, a piece of news caught the main temple off guard.

It turned out that this little boy was not a mortal, but the child a god left behind in the mortal world. His father was none other than Sven, the God of Time.

It was also not uncommon for children of gods to wander. Otherwise, the main planes would not have so many myths and legends. But once the child of one god became favored by another god, things became very awkward.

Especially since the boy had been brought back to the temple and already received a new inheritance. Should this person still be returned or not?

Logically speaking, this was another god’s son, so there was no reason not to return him. But the little boy had already accepted a greater god’s inheritance, so how could he be allowed to go back?

And it just so happened that this matter could not be blamed on the person involved—he was just a little boy who turned four years old not long ago, so how could he understand these matters?

Valen also had a headache after hearing about this, but he never had a personality that gave much consideration to others. After thinking about it, he decided, "Let the boy stay. If Sven wants him, he can come find me in person."

When Valen's words spread, some people felt that his action was shameless, but in the end, he was still a great existence, so no one dared to object.

That was, until this Classmate Sven very honestly knocked on Valen’s door, having gone to the Time Divine Kingdom in person to ask for his son back.

Others were afraid of offending Valen, but Sven was not. In any case, he also controlled the law of time. Unless Valen dies, he will never ascend to a greater god, and he will not pose a threat to others.

No one knew the specific negotiations between the two. They only knew that the two ultimately parted on bad terms, and in the end, Sven did not manage to bring his son back.

But after returning to his Divine Kingdom, Sven recklessly started amassing his believers and brazenly launched a war against the Time Divine Kingdom.

A Tier 8 god launching a war against a greater god might sound ridiculous, but those who knew the whole story could feel a sense of tragedy in it.

Perhaps out of guilt, the Time Divine Kingdom did not respond to this but only passively defended against the outside invasion.

Of course, this kind of invasion seemed entirely meaningless—because the foundation of a Tier 8 Divine Kingdom was far inferior to that of a greater god’s Divine Kingdom.

If not for the fact that his opponent was only passively defending, Sven's Divine Kingdom would’ve been razed to the ground in a matter of minutes.

But Sven seemed to have gone insane and still put his full power into it, and because of the matter with the godling, all his believers faced death with equanimity. None of them succumbed to the power of the Time Divine Kingdom.

Right at this moment, a message reached Gu Nan.

"The time has come."

……

"Didn't expect you to be part of this," Gu Nan commented as he looked at Jiu Po and Lu Wen in a frontline plane at the edge of the Myriad Heavens.

Lu Wen chuckled. "Or rather, this is actually my business. Jiu Po and Valen may have some disagreements, but not to this extent."

Gu Nan glanced at the two of them and nodded, not having any doubts about this.

When he first set foot onto the frontline planes, he had encountered a fight between Lu Wen and Valen. At that time, the two were fighting over the Time Arena.

The two of them ascended at similar times, and their laws were practically the same, but who could’ve expected that Lu Wen had already finished all preparations for a sneak attack?

"How are you guys going to get there?" Gu Nan then asked.

Gu Nan himself had the law of shadows and was quite familiar with the World of Gods, so it wasn’t hard for him to sneak over, but Jiu Po and Lu Wen were different.

It was quite difficult for existences at their level to travel between the two worlds without being discovered.

Back then, Austin and the Ruler of Nightmares had to rely on Dream Immortal’s resurrection to deliver the power of their laws here in order to kill Gu Nan, but still, they could only launch one attack.

Jiu Po answered, "I have my own method of getting there."

"And I'm already there." Lu Wen had an enigmatic smile on his face.

……

The Divine Kingdom War launched by the God of Time reached a truly intense stage. Even he himself joined the frontlines and went all out, quite intent on fighting to the death.

Even the gods watching from the sidelines didn't understand. It was just a mere godling. Was there a need to go this far?

But it was fine if they didn’t understand. After all, everything happens for a reason, so everyone could only watch and see how things would ultimately develop.

But this development completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Valen was injured!

After his patience ran out from Sven's repeated harassment, the Ruler of Time finally couldn't help taking action himself to drive away this annoying fly. Thus, he was injured at the fly's hands.

A mere Tier 8 god that could barely be considered a high-level god actually injured a mighty greater god!

This kind of thing completely overturned common sense. The person involved, Sven, also became well-known in one battle and quickly became famous throughout the World of Gods.

All the forces were asking how Sven did such a thing, but the results were somewhat shocking.

It was said that because the two had the same laws, Valen originally wanted to rely on his own understanding of time to forcibly reverse Sven's laws and make him understand the gap between them.

However, it was precisely because of this move that he discovered the other party's understanding of time was actually higher than his own and had even reached the stage of merging time and space.

"Who the hell are you?" Valen coldly looked at Sven.

He was injured because of laws, but the injury was not serious. On the contrary, the other party’s dogged persistence made him realize that something was amiss.

This person was absolutely not a normal god, but the other party also truly possessed the law of time… ‘Could he be some fallen god who just resurrected?’

God of Time Sven had a faint smile on his face. He didn't look like someone who had his son taken from him at all.

"Instead of worrying about who I am, you should consider how you’re going to survive this disaster instead, Valen."

Valen couldn't help sneering. The opponent’s understanding of laws was indeed beyond his expectation, but to say it could threaten him would be an exaggeration.

The gap between greater gods and normal gods couldn’t be bridged by mere understanding of laws, or else wouldn’t all those reincarnations of powerhouses be invincible?

If not for his doubts about this person’s identity, Valen would have killed him a long time ago.

And now that things reached this stage, Valen did not hesitate anymore and did exactly that.

With a slight thought, the endless Rain of Time suddenly fell, targeting none other than Sven.

This was an attack that materialized the law of time. It was already a confrontation of hard power and could not be reversed by understanding alone.

However, Sven simply allowed the raindrops to hit his body, seemingly completely unaffected.

The strange aura on the other’s body that was only now exposed finally allowed Valen to recognize him.

"It's you!"
