Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-585

The word “Tilvence” was a transliteration of the name this civilization called itself.

This pronunciation roughly translates to "Three Stars" in the civilization’s language. It was because the birthplace of the Tilvence civilization was three habitable planets in close proximity to each other.

Of course, even now, the vast majority of Tilvencenians still lived on these three planets, but as the Federation’s territory gradually expanded, the three planets lost the absolute status they held back in the day.

Now that Daoist Yellow Springs found Tilvence, it was inevitable that he would launch an investigation into Molag.

However, because the other party’s past life was unclear, not much progress had been made on this front. Thus, Daoist Yellow Springs revealed Molag’s existence to Gu Nan in order to use his power to start investigating Molag in the World of Gods.

Although Gu Nan was more interested in Tilvence’s local online game, 《Myriad Gods》.

However, these two goals did not conflict, because Gu Nan easily confirmed Molag’s identity in the process of investigating《Myriad Gods》.

Over two years ago, the guild master of the Sunrise Sunset Guild, one of the three largest guilds, suddenly disappeared, which caused an uproar in the gaming community.

It wasn't until someone found his real life identity that they discovered he’d died suddenly while playing the game.

The official explanation was that the player whose real name was Zhou Xuan suffered a sudden cardiac arrest due to the influence of intense brainwaves, which led to his death.

After finding information on this guild master, Gu Nan was able to confirm that Zhou Xuan and Molag were indeed the same person without even having to compare their experiences.

Because Zhou Xuan's in-game ID was none other than Molag.

"Gamer?" Daoist Yellow Springs couldn't help looking dumbfounded after Molag's identity was confirmed.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t searched Tilvence before, but his main focus was on literature, films, and television series. It never even occurred to him to search through games.

On one hand, it was because his understanding of people from the Origin World basically came from Jiu Po and himself. He only thought that they had observed history in some way, but never realized that they might also have personally participated in it.

On the other hand, the online game《Myriad Gods》was far from a popular game famous throughout the internet. At most, it only had a group of enthusiastic players, which was incomparable to the Evil God game in Gu Nan's previous life.

After Gu Nan and Daoist Yellow Springs verified Molag's identity, they could confirm many things.

First of all, Zhou Xuan's disappearance and Molag's appearance were basically synchronized in time. Here, Zhou Xuan's disappearance happened more than two years ago.

And then… after Zhou Xuan disappeared,《Myriad Gods》actually did not end its service and was still operating as usual. Right now, the eighth main chapter was almost finished.

"Which means, all of this is the future?" Daoist Yellow Springs slowly flipped through the game storyline from《Myriad Gods》and muttered incredulously.

The storyline of 《Myriad Gods》 begins when the World of Gods is invaded and the greater gods desperately join forces to resist the foreign Evil God. In the eyes of Daoist Yellow Springs, this was clearly the war between the two worlds that just occurred.

"It's possible." Gu Nan was also looking at this piece of "history", although it felt strange to call events that hadn’t happened yet “history”.

This history was quite accurate.

It claimed the Evil God came to destroy the world and possessed incredible power, which the greater gods could not oppose. In the end, the God of Death sacrificed himself and finally created an opening in the Evil God’s defense. This was also the Evil God’s only weakness.

Although there were many differences between this storyline and reality, the overall history was correct.

And this game’s backstory had already been announced six or seven years ago, back when it was first launched… In other words, the Origin World could indeed predict the future.

"How interesting," Gu Nan remarked with a smile.

There was nothing amazing about predicting the future. Rather than mysterious things like multiple timelines and parallel worlds, Gu Nan believed more in the theory of "Laplace’s demon".

If the Origin World could gather enough information on the two worlds, then it was entirely possible to predict the future through inferences.

And the future is never set in stone. Now that additional factors have appeared, the future will inevitably change. In other words, from the moment Gu Nan laid eyes on these documents, the future has already changed.

The subsequent future was also seen by Gu Nan.

When the Evil God descended again, Austin and Daisy finally succeeded in sealing him away at the cost of their lives. This process was not described in detail, and Gu Nan only had the information written here to go off of, which wasn’t enough for him to judge certain things.

On the other hand, another puzzling matter was that there were errors in the seventh and eighth main chapters.

If the first six main chapters had considerable basis in reality and could be said to be accurate predictions, then starting from the seventh chapter, the predictions were simply nonsense.

Residents of the Myriad Heavens were truly turned into a group of demons. They had oriental Eastern powers and humanoid forms, but they were not normal humans. This detracted too far from reality.

"We must find this game’s designer," Gu Nan said as he stood up.

Of course an online game had its operators and developers. The game background and main storyline undoubtedly came from the development team.

Daoist Yellow Springs naturally wasn’t opposed, and he was also very interested in the question of "how history was leaked".

……

In a business park, Huang Haoshan was chewing on a white steamed bun as he hurriedly walked through the company building’s doors.

He had been developing games for Weidong Entertainment for over ten years, having experienced all the ups and downs in the past decade. Now that he was over thirty, he’d long since lost his earlier hot-bloodedness.

The current Huang Haoshan just wanted to leech off of the online game《Myriad Gods》all the way to the end… Although he also knew this was quite unrealistic, he at least hoped that《Myriad Gods》could be popular for a few more years.

However, in the end, the lifespan of a game was limited. He already knew this when he started developing《Myriad Gods》.

On this day, Huang Haoshan came to work as usual, but he found two strangers waiting inside his office when he entered.

The two were dressed in neat suits, and they didn't look like conmen. Huang Haoshan asked hesitantly, "You guys are…?"

"Mr. Huang Haoshan?" One of them stood up and looked at him calmly.

For some reason, this person’s gaze made Huang Haoshan feel chills on his back. He subconsciously nodded. “I’m Huang Haoshan, yes. What can I do for you?”

"We are from the Sixth Special Operations Division of the Federation’s Bureau of Investigation." The man said seriously, "We are here today to ask you something."

After a pause, the man continued, "Are you the one in charge of developing the game 《Myriad Gods》?"
