Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 602: Yellow Springs

Yu Lian stared at this sentence blankly. Only after a while did she turn back to look at Gu Nan. She suddenly felt that even though she was once the master of Void Grotto Heaven, there were still many things in this world that she didn't understand.

Daoist Yellow Springs actually turned out to be a Unified Dao cultivator, and Gu Nan took Zero away to put her in a secret lab, but now, she was kidnapped by Daoist Yellow Springs.

‘What does he want Zero for? What secrets does Zero hold?’

‘What is the connection between Jiu Po, Yellow Springs, and Gu Nan?’

These thoughts flashed through her head for an instant, but then she shook her head, unable to help laughing. No matter what the answer was, it had nothing to do with her. She was just a prisoner now.

"I don't have much time." Gu Nan shifted his gaze away from the information to look at Yu Lian. "I’ll give Void Grotto Heaven back to you. Block Jiu Po and Lu Wen for me."

Yu Lian suddenly looked up and saw that Gu Nan had placed a Daoist crown in front of her.

It was absolutely impossible for Gu Nan to do such a thing with his current strength, which meant he was already prepared for this long ago and was expecting such a situation.

Yu Lian tore her gaze away with some difficulty, preventing herself from looking at the Daoist crown. "The sect master position is decided by the Daoist Sect."

"You know it too. The protection magic on this isn’t worth anything to me." Gu Nan curled his lips disdainfully. "Take it, and you will be the only Star Ruler of Void Grotto Heaven from now on."

Yu Lian gritted her teeth. She knew Gu Nan was implying that since the inheritance had already been destroyed, even if she didn't take it, she would at most just be giving her position to someone else.

Yu Lian fell silent for a while. "Why me?"

"You’ve seen my power, so you won’t dare betray me." Gu Nan said with a smile, "I will be back."

……

When Gu Nan next opened his eyes, he was already in an unfamiliar region.

The power of Exile gradually pulled his body away from the main world. It wasn’t until this process was completely finished that he truly arrived at this new place.

But it couldn’t really be said to be new, because this was actually a place Gu Nan was very familiar with—the Origin World.

The power of "Exile" ultimately sent Gu Nan inside the Origin World. It wasn’t like Gu Nan hadn’t considered this possibility before, so he wasn’t too surprised at this time.

After all, if there was any place in the world capable of imprisoning Gu Nan, come to think of it, it could only be the Origin World.

Gu Nan's original idea was to see if he could enter the Origin World through this, then smash the Origin World’s dimensional wall from the inside.

But before Gu Nan could respond, he discovered that the dimensional wall was extending automatically, gradually covering his body.

This scene was just like when Fu Cheng was taken away, but this time, the dimensional wall wasn’t taking him away, but imprisoning him.

This was the aftermath of Exile trying to imprison Gu Nan as much as possible.

Gu Nan's eyes moved slightly, and the Third Round law of shadows gathered on his fist as he threw a hard punch at the dimensional wall twisting around him.

A silent impact shook the void. Facing Gu Nan's Third Round punch, the Origin World’s dimensional wall finally had a reaction.

The dimensional wall seemed to have been hit by a huge force, and the entire wall vibrated nonstop. The shock even spread outwards continuously.

"It’s effective!" Gu Nan perked up. After finally seeing an effect, he immediately threw out several more punches and continued to hit the same spot on the dimensional wall.

The dimensional wall knew how to extend by itself, so it clearly had an instinctive will, but it was still early to say that it had sentience, so it could only allow Gu Nan to rain down attacks.

As Gu Nan's onslaught continued, the vibrations on the dimensional wall continuously intensified, but it didn’t seem to show any signs of breaking yet.

But Gu Nan wasn’t in a hurry. He wasn’t short on time right now. It wasn’t a big deal even if he had to stay here for ten or twenty years.

However, Daoist Yellow Springs' puzzling behavior right before Gu Nan disappeared made him suspicious.

Perhaps this mysterious fellow’s understanding of the Origin World was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. In terms of acting skills, characters at this level wouldn’t lose to anyone.

……

Time slowly passed, and Gu Nan persisted in his task of destroying the dimensional wall, making slow but steady progress.

However, other events were taking place in the outside world.

The Myriad Heavens.

Daoist Yellow Springs stood before Jiu Po with a faint smile on his face, just like countless years ago. The two of them seemed to have returned to the day they first parted ways.

Jiu Po chose to stay behind in the Myriad Heavens, so he became the most powerful Star Ruler in the Myriad Heavens. Daoist Yellow Springs chose to search for the Origin World, and he did indeed find it.

Until this day, he finally returned because he was already confident he could face Jiu Po.

Jiu Po stood in his own astral world. The earthen veins’ power bore down on his opponent while Daoist Yellow Springs just stood in the air, accepting the leylines’ baptism.

Not even his Daoist robe was affected. No external power could reach him, much less hurt him.

"Is this the power of the Origin World?" No emotion could be seen from Jiu Po's face. He just stared at Daoist Yellow Springs.

"That's right. Speaking of which, I need to thank Gu Nan. He actually discovered the Origin World’s origin and even discovered Zero’s secret…" Daoist Yellow Springs couldn't help bursting into laughter after saying this.

"And now." His smile faded as he continued calmly, "All the fruits of his labor are mine."

"People who came from the Origin World all have some mysterious abilities. It’s just that we haven't been able to activate them?" Jiu Po looked at the laughing opponent and asked thoughtfully.

"Not me." Daoist Yellow Springs shook his head. "I am the first person to have an ability, but you guys just didn’t know about it."

There was a strange look in Jiu Po's eyes, but then he smiled again. "No one has noticed for so many years. You’ve really hidden it well."

Daoist Yellow Springs looked at Jiu Po with a sneer. "Want to know why? Because my ability… is devouring!"

……

Yu Lian wore a Daoist crown on her head and sat in Void Grotto Heaven’s temple with an indifferent expression. Below her were the higher ups of Daoist Sect.

"Daoist Yellow Springs appeared in Jiu Po Heaven. We suspect he fought Jiu Po. After that, their current whereabouts are unknown—"

"What I want is the outcome," Yu Lian interrupted her subordinate.

The person paused for a moment, then whispered, "The outcome… is still unknown."

Yu Lian fell silent, and the entire temple also fell silent. It wasn’t until a long time later that she asked, "What did you find in Gu Nan's lab?"

"They’re raising two people using world origin. We found the partial experiment records they left behind,” the man answered and handed over the records.

But his expression looked very strange.

Yu Lian soon knew why his expression looked odd, because what was written in the records was too shocking.

They didn't even bother to cover up such important information and just wrote it down for everyone to see?

"Origin World…" Yu Lian heard this term for the first time and stood up slowly after a moment.

"Sect Master."

"I’m heading out for a while."
