Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
Chapter 382: Lost

"All I got was a box,” the almost-dead woman uttered these words with considerable difficulty.

“We’re the client." The young woman in yellow was a little anxious and even thought the other party didn’t believe their identities, so she added, "My name is Yu Shuyun. I— Are you crazy?!"

Classmate Yu Shuyun didn’t get to finish introducing herself when a shadow impaled the woman through the chest and dragged her corpse into the ground.

Gu Nan didn’t even spare Yu Shuyun a glance and quickly summoned a new shadow servant, asking it the same question.

But the answer left him very dissatisfied. This woman really only received one box.

“What… What in the world is going on here…?” Yu Shuyun roughly figured out what Gu Nan was doing, but she was equally unable to understand the result.

The gods on that side should’ve sent people to deliver the items to the gap between the two worlds, and their side then arranged for people from this company to take over.

Throughout the entire process, neither the gods nor the Star Rulers, as well as their subordinates, had too much direct contact to prevent the big shots above from noticing anything.

After all, their current operation would lead to an outcome that 25 powerful figures across the two sides didn’t want to see.

But now they lost a few boxes, so where did things go wrong?

"Hey, where are you going?" Yu Shuyun's brain was a muddle, but she quickly asked when she saw Gu Nan turn to leave.

"The rendezvous."

……

In a remote alley in Heavenly Province World, a skinny teenager was curled into a ball, hugging his knees while tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

He was covered in filth and footprints. He’d just been bullied by some "old friends,” but his tears weren’t because of this.

A big yellow dog was lying at his side, but now it was already dying.

“Oh Da Huang, Da Huang! I never thought I would live longer than you,” the teen murmured as he stretched out a hand and petted the big yellow dog’s head.

The big yellow dog whimpered but could only make a weak sound, then used its remaining strength to push the object between the two.

Clearly laid out there was a small box of exquisite workmanship.

"You mean, this is for me?" The teenager spoke in a slight daze.

Although it looked quite expensive, he actually didn't like this box very much, but after all, this was something Da Huang used his life to get.

Since this was Da Huang’s will, it should be inherited properly. So the teen nodded his head forcefully. "I understand."

He stretched out a hand and opened the box without much effort, but there was nothing inside after removing the packaging.

“It’s actually empty…” The youth was a little disappointed. In that case, its only remaining value was the box itself.

However, just then, an inexplicable power burrowed into the teen's body, and a voice rang out in his head.

"What's your name?"

"Huh?! Me? My name is Dong Xun…”

……

"They lost them during the entry into Heavenly Province World."

A group of solemn-looking people stood around a pile of small boxes in a small hut, and the one who spoke was an old Daoist.

Gu Nan and Yu Shuyun were among them, while the one who spoke was Daoist Lingyang.

Of course, Daoist Lingyang's face was also masked. Gu Nan wouldn’t have recognized him if he didn’t meet Daoist Lingyang before.

The current group was none other than members of the Heaven-God Alliance. They were responsible for retrieving Rolensia’s scattered divine body and finding a way to reassemble her.

Everyone present wore masks, and all the official members came using clones. This was to prevent everyone from being taken out all at once in case there were traitors.

Now that box after box was retrieved, they discovered the problem—some boxes were missing, namely three.

"What kind of lousy security company is this? We must wipe them all out once this matter is over!" A burly man next to Daoist Lingyang exclaimed angrily.

After he said that, a silver-haired woman next to him laughed. ”We never intended to let them live in the first place."

"Now is not the time to argue about this." Daoist Lingyang said in a heavy voice, "Let's split up and look for them. If someone opens the box, the aura will be obvious."

Be it her Tier 10 power or her distinctive godly aura, both were a beacon to this crowd.

"We don't have much time,” another person said. This person was similar to Gu Nan, wrapped in black robes. Not even their gender could be seen.

Judging from the voice alone, this should be a woman.

Daoist Lingyang nodded. “That’s right. We have to leave in two days regardless of whether we can find all the boxes or not."

"What if we can't find all of them?" Someone asked from the back.

Daoist Lingyang was silent for a moment. “Losing a wisp of soul wouldn’t affect much."

……

After receiving Daoist Lingyang's instructions, members of the Heaven-God Alliance collectively went out to search for the three boxes whose whereabouts were unknown.

Since one of the boxes was lost in their area, Gu Nan and Yu Shuyun naturally followed this clue and started searching.

"Hey, wait,” Yu Shuyun shouted from behind Gu Nan, "I have a friend… Just wait up!"

From what Yu Shuyun could see, Gu Nan had no intention of waiting at all and quickly walked forward, ignoring her words as if he heard nothing.

Yu Shuyun stomped her foot in anger. She was a pampered genius who came from a large plane and was also quite young, so her personality was certainly not that calm.

"Shuyun, what's wrong?" A voice asked from beside her. A teenager had reached her side.

This teenager could be described as having red lips and white teeth, and with a flowing white coat. He looked like a fluttering beautiful boy.

“Ah Bu, you came just in time!" Yu Shuyun had always been energetic and pointed to Gu Nan. “Let's hurry. That guy is almost gone!"

The teenager followed Yu Shuyun's finger and could only see a blurred back.

"Didn't you tell him to wait?" The teenager asked in surprise.

"I shouted! He ignored me…”

"What an impolite fellow,” the teenager muttered as he took a step out, his figure appearing in front of Gu Nan.

Someone who could do such a thing without fanfare in this crowded street either had incredible speed or the ability to manipulate space.

Gu Nan raised his head. This was the second time he ran into someone who controlled space. The first time was the Dragon of Space.

But the other party’s identity didn't affect his attitude.

"Something the matter?"

The teen frowned slightly. The other party's attitude displeased him, but his fine upbringing made sure none of that displeasure showed on his face. “This humble one is Qi Bu, from Academic Heaven."

After saying this, he stood straight and waited for the other party to introduce himself, after which both sides would salute—according to the education he received, it had always been like this.

However, the Gu Nan in front of him didn't even spare him a glance and walked straight past, even leaving a puzzled sentence, “This kind of organization still has dumbasses who give away their real names?”
