Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Before Gu Nan left, he had a premonition that Jiu Po and Daoist Yellow Springs would join forces to attack his Divine Kingdom as soon as he disappeared. Unexpectedly, Daoist Yellow Springs became a loner thanks to his "devouring" ability.

Now that he thought about it, that was normal. Who would want to work with a guy who could devour them at any time to increase his strength? Unless they had no other choice, people would always take the alternative.

In contrast, although Gu Nan was brutal, he had no motive to kill wantonly, which was better than being devoured.

It's just that Lu Wen’s appearance here meant he’d completely withdrawn from the race.

If Jiu Po was unfortunate enough to be devoured by Daoist Yellow Springs, then only Gu Nan and Yellow Springs would have the right to decide the final winner.

"You’re the one who gave him the opportunity," Lu Wen said seriously. If Gu Nan hadn't discovered the world origin’s secret, Daoist Yellow Springs wouldn’t even have any opportunity in the first place.

Gu Nan laughed. "It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, what’s your ability?"

Lu Wen was silent for a while, then slowly answered, "Dual attributes. I came out of the Origin World twice. That was my ability both times."

Dual attributes was the reason Lu Wen could master the dual laws of time and space.

"Tell me about how you left."

Lu Wen knew he had to gain Gu Nan's trust, so he didn’t hide anything and explained decisively, "In fact, we’ve already figured out the process for leaving the Origin World. But only now were we able to confirm what the Origin World did to us."

Lu Wen spoke slowly, and the information he revealed was somewhat beyond Gu Nan's expectations, but the gist was no different from his suspicions.

Transmigrators who left the Origin World often had special abilities, which was determined by the special characteristics of the Origin World’s dimensional wall.

"We believe that this is not actually a dimensional wall, but a Wall of Laws." Lu Wen said, "Those who pass through this wall will have certain aspects of their power strengthened by laws."

Having said that, he glanced at Gu Nan again and continued with a smile, "Of course, it’s also possible for the target to be an item instead of a person."

……

The Myriad Heavens.

Jiu Po was at a complete disadvantage. He couldn’t damage Daoist Yellow Springs and could only watch his own power get absorbed.

Daoist Yellow Springs’ own strength already reached Tier 14, and his devouring ability grew even stronger, actually starting to suppress Jiu Po Heaven.

"You… cannot escape," Daoist Yellow Springs’ voice was a little hoarse. The large influx of power gave him no time to digest it all, and it was gradually distorting his personality.

Jiu Po just stared at him calmly. Only after a while did he speak up, "It's almost done."

Daoist Yellow Springs was slightly startled. Jiu Po suddenly raised his hand, and an exquisite pocket watch appeared in his hand.

The clock hands jumped slightly, and time seemed to stand still at this instant. Even Daoist Yellow Springs’ devouring ability also froze.

"It’s all thanks to your origin,” Jiu Po's indifferent voice finally rang out, followed by a sudden palm strike forward, setting off a wave of earthen powers.

The pocket watch shattered under the crushing weight of those laws, and time returned to normal. But Daoist Yellow Springs was still unable to block the earth’s power, and he had no time to activate devouring, so he could only take the blow head-on!

It turned out that Jiu Po only allowed him to devour so much power in order to secretly steal away a wisp of world origin. It wasn’t that Jiu Po did not have a special ability, but that the special ability was an item.

The power of the earth almost smashed the entire void, and strange laws filled the space, completely submerging Daoist Yellow Springs.

However, after a moment, Jiu Po gave a deep sigh. "Is it… too late?"

"That’s right, it's too late." Daoist Yellow Springs slowly emerged from behind him. His figure had been corroded beyond recognition, but his aura was still stable, and he was even devouring a large portion of the surrounding laws.

As long as he didn’t die, he could quickly recover his power.

After swallowing Jiu Po’s power, Daoist Yellow Springs was recovering at an alarming speed, a sneer on his face.

If Jiu Po stole the origin just a little faster and if he didn’t start to weaken just now, Daoist Yellow Springs’ power would not have grown so strong, and Jiu Po may really have succeeded in killing the enemy with one blow.

After all, Daoist Yellow Springs did not have an astral world and would truly die if his body was destroyed.

"Time stop? To think you hid that from everyone." He glared at Jiu Po with cold eyes, but he was no longer in a hurry. What the other party brought from the Origin World was not an ability, but an item…

Jiu Po just shook his head a little. "Back then, I took a step back, so I deserve this ending. But although I lost, you may not necessarily win."

Jiu Po also knew just how strong the current Gu Nan was. Based on their conjectures about Gu Nan, his ability probably had something to do with his physical body.

Therefore, after obtaining the Origin World’s origin, Gu Nan's physical body became incredibly strong. Even if Daoist Yellow Springs had the devouring ability, he still wouldn’t be able to deal with such a Gu Nan.

Daoist Yellow Springs naturally understood what Jiu Po meant, but he wasn’t afraid. He just smiled. "That’s why I found you first… Only by devouring your power will I gain the right to face him."

Jiu Po's expression shifted slightly, but his figure suddenly disappeared. The next second, the devouring power actually tried to bite him on the head.

"He fled?" Daoist Yellow Springs’ eyes were cold, but he didn't pay much attention to the escape and continued to devour the power of Jiu Po Heaven.

Astral world cultivators actually concentrated most of their power in their astral worlds. Jiu Po himself escaping would only speed up Daoist Yellow Springs' progress.

……

"Jiu Po also lost." Lu Wen sighed softly. "His time stop was a little late."

Gu Nan already found out Jiu Po's ability from Lu Wen. He actually brought out a pocket watch from the Origin World capable of temporarily stopping time.

Daoist Yellow Springs didn't know about this. On the contrary, Lu Wen, whose previous incarnation was in the same generation as Jiu Po, had witnessed that power of his.

As Gu Nan expected, Lu Wen was the one who saw Jiu Po’s historical era. Daoist Yellow Springs only learned about it from Lu Wen because he’d been beside the Origin World for a long time.

After Daoist Yellow Springs learned of Gu Nan's formidable power, he deliberately muddied up this pattern in hopes of misleading Gu Nan.

Unfortunately, he did not expect Molag’s appearance to single-handedly change the overall situation.

Now, everyone was sprinting across the final stretch, all to decide the ultimate winner.

Gu Nan didn’t stop punching but asked curiously, "You guys studied it for so many years. Do you know why the Origin World sent people like us out?"

"Of course." Lu Wen nodded. "What you’re currently doing is something Yellow Springs and I both tried back then, and thanks to that, my soul was able to enter the Origin World."

"Back then, did you want to become the next transmigrator?"

"Yes, and I succeeded," there was a hint of pride in Lu Wen's voice, but then it faded.

"But so what? If not for Molag’s appearance, we probably wouldn't have known even now—it turns out that the Origin World’s origin is the driving force behind our powers… That’s all it was!"
