Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
Chapter 160: Morningstar Plane

Lin Tian's fate was extracted and successfully made into a new mirror. There weren’t too many accidents during this process.

Gu Nan, who obtained the new mirror, wasn’t in a hurry to translate it. Instead, he started preparing to reincarnate.

That’s right. After a long period of recuperation, Gu Nan was finally ready to reincarnate again.

Although Lan Si had been cultivating diligently, causing Gu Nan’s Evil Value to rise continuously until it reached 325, there was no limit to human greed.

He used to dream about continuously earning Evil Value while lying around all day, but now, he felt that this speed was too slow, so he was determined to go out and clear a dungeon mission.

Of course, in order to save enough points to buy the Tier 4 advancement, reincarnation was inevitable.

If there was no delay from dealing with Lin Tian, then Gu Nan should’ve already started the next reincarnation a few days ago, because he’d already found a rather suitable mission on the first mirror’s mission list.

The reincarnation array on the ground slowly shone, and Gu Nan stepped inside it. His body was stored in the void, while his soul was gradually drawn out and thrown into another world.

……

｢Integrating external mission｣

｢Mission objective: Kill the moon thrall’s child｣

｢Mission reward: Medium｣

The mission notification that hadn’t appeared for a long time slowly emerged from the Evil God Temple. The corners of Gu Nan’s mouth stretched into a small smile. This mission was practically tailor-made for him.

The Morningstar Plane where the mission was located was slightly smaller than Immortal Demon World, but its power level was much higher, and there were even Dao Lord-level figures here.

The scale of the plane meant that the reward wouldn’t be small, and assassination missions were also Gu Nan's favorite missions.

He wouldn’t have to waste too much time on clear-cut missions like killing people or seizing certain treasures. At least it would be much better than the previous Immortal Demon World.

If it was a large-scale mission such as the war between the righteous and demonic factions, it would inevitably take a lot of energy to complete.

This time, Morningstar Plane’s mission was very good, but the only bad thing was…

"O noble Heroic Spirit who slumbers in the river of time, please answer my call…"

After a series of long incantations, a blue door appeared in front of Gu Nan, which he stepped through.

The next moment, he appeared in a school classroom. At his feet was a magic circle with strange lines, and in front of him was a girl with a wooden expression.

According to Gu Nan's understanding of the Morningstar Plane, this girl was probably his host.

The Morningstar Plane was a very strange plane, and the reincarnation rules here differed from rules elsewhere. Reincarnators wouldn’t possess a host’s body upon entry. Instead, reincarnators would exist in the form of Heroic Spirits.

This seemed to be a natural defense mechanism the plane used to protect its natives so that not only would reincarnators not kill their hosts, they would also have to protect them.

Because once the host dies, the reincarnator’s Heroic Spirit form will dissipate, and the reincarnation will immediately terminate.

Not long after Gu Nan appeared, the magic circle at his feet began to shine, and the pillar of light next to him turned from red to blue, then finally turned white, searing the eyes with its harsh light.

"Oh dear! Lin Duo, you summoned a King Level Heroic Spirit!"

"Ahhh! It’s actually a King Level one? As expected of Miss Lin Duo. I’ll have to redouble my efforts as well!"

"Duoduo, since you and I have such a good relationship… Can I touch your Heroic Spirit?"

The meaning represented by the harsh white light made everyone in the classroom suddenly burst into exclamations, while the girl in front of Gu Nan was swarmed by several companions tugging on her arms.

As the person who summoned Gu Nan, Lin Duo herself never imagined that she would summon a King Level Heroic Spirit.

This was an honest-to-god Tier 3 bigshot!

This girl with a slightly round face and some freckles felt at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Gu Nan had learned the rules of this plane from White Mist’s archives long ago, so he expressionlessly proclaimed, "My name is Gu Nan."

As soon as Gu Nan’s voice fell, the students surrounding him suddenly burst into exclamations again.

"Wow! It’s actually a sentient Heroic Spirit. As expected of a King Level existence!"

"Yeah! It looks so handsome!"

"I also really want a Heroic Spirit like this…"

In fact, Gu Nan still kept his original appearance. No matter which angle you looked, his ordinary-looking face couldn’t be said to be handsome at all. But this plane’s style was simply like this. Everyone in this world had Eighth Grade Syndrome—Gu Nan had already heard about that.

Finally, a teacher-like person appeared next to him and clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, then turned to Lin Duo. "Lin Duo, don't be nervous. Just do what we practiced in class."

Lin Duo, who received the teacher’s encouragement, gritted her teeth and said, "M-Mister Gu Nan, it’s nice to meet you…"

Gu Nan just nodded indifferently. He needed to play the role of a cold and aloof Heroic Spirit, which would make his future mission clearing more convenient.

The classroom began to quiet down. Everyone was watching Lin Duo and Gu Nan with curiosity in their eyes, even the teacher.

This was a King Level Heroic Spirit. Not even those Tier 2 powerhouses were guaranteed to summon one. Nobody expected a high school student to summon such a Heroic Spirit on her first try…

But the teacher wasn’t too surprised. The power level of a summoned Heroic Spirit was completely up to chance, so it wasn’t like similar events had never happened before.

Everyone's gaze made Lin Duo more nervous. She even started stuttering, "Mr. Gu Nan, m-my name is Lin Duo. I'm a student of the capital’s No.4 High School, and my hobby is…"

"I'm just a Heroic Spirit. I don't care about your hobbies," Gu Nan interrupted with a slight frown.

“Ah… I’m sorry!" Lin Duo's little face suddenly flushed red with embarrassment, and there were bursts of low laughter around her.

Gu Nan shook his head slightly and walked out of the circle. The outline of his body gradually turned solid, no longer resembling a pure white spirit, and the world even automatically put a formal suit on him.

‘It's truly a considerate law…’ Gu Nan couldn't help muttering.

The current Gu Nan had inherited a part of his original body’s strength, speed, and laws. He looked no different from human beings.

The term “Heroic Spirit” was local to this plane. Its essence was more like an individual directly created by laws. Like all elemental life forms, it was a creature created by laws.

This was different from Gu Nan's previous understanding of the term Heroic Spirit. Here, it didn’t mean the souls of dead people; instead, Heroic Spirits were a special existence between reality and fantasy.

When ordinary Heroic Spirits answered summonings, they often had a strong obsession and needed the summoner to help them fulfill their wishes.

Gu Nan's eyes swept across the classroom. Some people bowed their heads, while others looked at him curiously, but they were none of his business.

His eyes finally settled on Lin Duo, the girl who summoned him. At least for this period of time, he had to keep her alive.

"I will stay here for a year at most to obtain what I desire." Gu Nan said calmly, "But before that… You seem to have encountered some trouble."
