Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Incantation was a type of divine art. The more sublime a god’s laws and the more devout their believers, the more they liked to teach this kind of divine art to followers.

Austin's holy light devotees were very good at incantations, so Gu Nan had seen the power of incantations more than once in his past life’s game.

If one delved deeper into the principles behind it, incantation was actually a kind of karmic art.

When the user wants to accomplish a specific task, they would pay a price far higher than completing the actual task itself to the world, and then leave the process of completing this task to the world.

In this process, the surplus power paid was actually used for conversion—in essence, the caster was leaving a task they cannot accomplish to the omnipotent laws of the world to complete.

The "Exile" incantation was a very typical one. The caster spends an enormous amount of energy to directly exile a powerful enemy to a different space, making it impossible for the opponent to return.

"Exile" at the mortal level was nothing more than throwing people to other planes. Nobody weaker than gods could travel between planes In the World of Gods, so of course the enemy could no longer return.

At the god level, it also had the effect of spacial imprisonment. The incantation target would be restrained by this spell and must wait until the power their enemy paid becomes exhausted before they can leave.

As for the greater god level… To be precise, as for the Exile incantation activated by the two strongest Greater Gods of Light and Darkness at the cost of their lives, he was afraid no one in history had ever seen it before.

Gu Nan could clearly feel that this exile was a continuous process and that he was being pulled into an unknown territory.

Once the "Exile" was complete, perhaps he would completely disappear from here and go to a place from which he could never return.

As for where he would end up, he was afraid that not even Austin himself knew. The characteristic of incantation was that it only focused on the result and left the process to the world itself.

"How interesting." Gu Nan felt his power constantly fading, but he wasn’t worried.

In the end, incantation wasn’t invincible. It required an unimaginably vast amount of power to trap Gu Nan.

And Gu Nan could always wait until the incantation was complete, then use his fists to forcibly smash the cage apart.

"Is this the so-called seal?" Gu Nan recalled himself in "history". The end result was still disappearance for both sealing and exile. They were indeed not that different.

But what Gu Nan could be sure of was that the Evil God in that history definitely did not reach the Third Round.

After all, Gu Nan was only able to reach the Third Round by finding the origin ratio from Molag. It was impossible for the person called Molag to exist in that original history.

It was very likely that the Origin World’s predictions about history were intermittent. New predictions would emerge every time the previous historical era was about to come to an end.

The two largest Divine Kingdoms collapsed. Austin and Daisy sacrificed themselves while Baal and Boswell were nowhere to be found. Even Eugene had vanished.

The Ruler of War destroyed his own Divine Kingdom and erased all traces of himself from the world, so that not even Gu Nan could find him.

But Gu Nan didn’t care about this. What he wanted was to control the two worlds; he didn’t care whether Eugene lived or died.

But another discovery worried Gu Nan a little.

After a simple test, Gu Nan found that it was impossible to gain Evil Value from killing gods now.

As Gu Nan initially expected, Evil Value was actually a product of the Evil God Temple. Originally, he controlled the Evil God Temple, so he could use Evil Value to strengthen himself.

But now that the Evil God Temple was gone, of course it was impossible to benefit from killing gods.

Although the current Gu Nan was practically invincible, he was, after all, someone who had seen the true Third Round before, so he still wanted to see if there was a way to get there.

"If I can't take that last step, then I’ll set it aside for the time being," Gu Nan quickly made a decision. "Exile will officially take effect in two months at most. I’ll take advantage of this time to complete all my arrangements."

……

The plan to conquer the World of Gods proceeded more smoothly than Gu Nan expected. Only the Exile incantation was a bit unexpected.

However, Austin truly had no other alternative than borrowing an incantation’s power to bypass Gu Nan's monstrous defense in order to banish the Evil God.

Now, there was no greater god protecting the World of Gods. Even the ones hiding in the dark dared not show themselves, so the Myriad Heavens could fully conquer the World of Gods.

After Gu Nan returned to the Myriad Heavens, he ordered the major Star Rulers to organize a large-scale invasion without hesitation, with the goal of completely bringing the World of Gods under his control.

Version 2.0 of the God Hunting Manual was also launched in passing, and it immediately became the gods’ nightmare. A large number of gods were brutally slaughtered.

Because of its role in cultivating Void Cutters, Godheads became a favorite among Star Rulers, especially the Godheads of high-level gods, who rarely died on the battlefield.

Under Gu Nan's orders, even Unified Dao cultivators started participating in the war.

Although most of the Unified Dao figures’ astral worlds hadn’t been rebuilt yet, their own strength alone was more than sufficient to deal with those who weren’t greater gods.

The gods were hunted down and massacred in droves, and their Godheads became the Star Rulers’ trophies. Some weak gods were even captured, becoming their enemies’ playthings.

All of the possible treatment received by the oppressed under a reign of violence, the World of Gods experienced without fail.

Gu Nan was indifferent to all this. All he wanted was to bring both worlds under his control.

……

In the lab, Gu Nan stared at Molag and Zero calmly.

The two were each placed in a culture tank. A specific ratio of world origin was used as the culture fluid, generously being replaced batch by batch.

This approach was actually quite extravagant. Back when Gu Nan was still Tier 4 or 5, he even had to run to Astral Gate to complete missions just for a small handful of world origin.

But now, just to increase these two’s absorption efficiency, the world origin was frequently replaced before they even had a chance to completely absorb the previous batch. Instead, the world origin was treated like a cheap culture fluid. It was simply extravagant to the extreme.

But Gu Nan didn't care much. There were so many planes in the Myriad Heavens, and all those origins were at his disposal. He only needed to transform them into the Origin World’s specific ratio.

"How’s the situation?" Gu Nan walked to the lab station and asked the researcher there.

The researcher hurriedly handed the observation report to Gu Nan while also reporting on the recent situation. But in fact, the progress here wasn’t fast, and it could even be said that there was no progress.

Molag was slightly better. With the continuous origin infusion, his skill level was nevertheless always improving, but Zero was different.

The bottleneck before Unified Dao was too important. Even her system was very inefficient in this regard. This was even the result after an endless supply of origin.

The similarity between the two was that both experiments were unlikely to be completed within two months, and Gu Nan would not be able to see the results before leaving.

"Then I’ll wait until I get back." Gu Nan shook his head slightly and disappeared from the lab.

He arrived near the Origin World in one step. His next target was Daoist Yellow Springs. While his power hadn’t completely dissipated yet, there were some matters he must confirm.
