Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
Chapter 390: Karma

Gu Nan wasn’t an unfamiliar name to those in the Myriad Heavens Universe.

For people below Star Ruler Realm, there were actually two levels that they were most concerned about.

One was the Thirteen Heavens kind of existence. They were the real big shots, the actual rulers of the Myriad Heavens. Their every word and action was eye-catching.

The other was the top-level Void Cutters, as well as recently-advanced Star Rulers.

Void Cutters were the pinnacle of mortals. They belonged to the "present management" category of existences and also received attention, such as the previous Gu Nan.

When Gu Nan first rose to fame in the Myriad Heavens, it was still as a Void Cutter.

It was only his participation in Nirvana Heaven's invasion of Star Realm that brought him to people’s attention.

But later, as Gu Nan did more and more things, more and more people knew about him. Someone in a similar boat was Lou Wanying.

Under Lu Wen’s manipulation, Lou Wanying had done a lot of earth-shattering things.

The matter with the Time Arena was considered Lu Wen's personal endorsement of Lou Wanying, and the fight over the ancient Void Grotto Heaven’s inheritance even alarmed people at the level of the Thirteen Heavens.

In this way, Lou Wanying's reputation may actually be above Gu Nan’s.

But this didn’t matter much, because the moment Lou Wanying died at Gu Nan's hands, all the attention given to the two of them was now focused on Gu Nan alone!

Under certain people’s deliberate manipulation, people very logically deduced a piece of information.

Lou Wanying acquired the ancient Void Grotto Heaven's inheritance, while Gu Nan killed him, so who currently had the inheritance? Of course it was Gu Nan!

With the exception of Void Grotto Heaven, who knew that it was very difficult to steal the inheritance from Lou Wanying, other people wouldn’t really know or care as much.

Even if Gu Nan had a one percent chance of getting this inheritance, it was still a tempting enough reason to go after him.

"Gu Nan invaded Jin Lin World. So it’s true that he already has an astral world?"

"But the invasion wasn’t really successful? He wasn’t able to seize the land, and his losses aren’t necessarily smaller than Jin Lin World.”

"Who knows! All I care now is where in the world Gu Nan's astral world is…”

Where was Gu Nan’s astral world? This was a question many people were curious about. Because finding his astral world was the same as finding Gu Nan himself, which meant also finding the inheritance.

Usually, it wasn’t hard to locate the whereabouts of a Star Ruler’s astral world.

For example, with Jin Lin World, Jin Lin was all too eager to announce that there was a small astral world here, trying to increase the plane’s popularity.

But on the other hand, if the Star Ruler himself wasn’t willing to reveal it and didn’t use the power of his astral world in front of others, then it was very difficult to discover the whereabouts of someone’s astral world.

Even if a person went to that astral world by accident, they still wouldn’t know who it belonged to!

Amidst this popular craze where everyone was searching for Gu Nan, someone came knocking on his door.

Of course, it wasn’t as exaggerated as finding his Divine Kingdom. Instead, she found Gu Nan’s clone in White Bones Realm.

The saint clone sat in a quiet room, studying Long Ling'er with a somewhat thoughtful gaze.

Gu Nan truly didn’t expect for the first person to approach him at this juncture to be from Lu Wen’s side.

"Lu Wen’s looking for me?" Gu Nan didn't bother with pleasantries and asked bluntly.

Long Ling'er was clearly also satisfied with this type of exchange and nodded. ”He told me to tell you that since you killed Lou Wanying, you will also inherit his karma."

"And?" Gu Nan raised an eyebrow.

“Nothing else." Long Ling'er, however, shook her head, then excused herself and left as quickly as she came.

This actually puzzled Gu Nan a little. She came all the way here just to say this?

This wasn’t the first time Gu Nan had heard the concept of “karma."

As early as his time in Star Realm, a large portion of reincarnators believed that reincarnation was an act that affected karma.

But as his level rose, Gu Nan was more inclined to believe it was nonsense.

But the karma that Long Ling'er had paid a special visit to warn him about didn’t seem that simple, no matter how he looked at it.

However, Gu Nan soon realized how this karma manifested.

"My Lord, someone came to our door again. It doesn’t seem like we can make them leave very easily this time,” in White Bones Realm, Red Tail hurriedly came to report to Gu Nan again.

"Which side are they from again?" Gu Nan asked after some thought.

"It's Daoist Sect Realm this time."

Gu Nan knew what the other party was here for as soon as he heard the name.

Daoist Sect Realm wasn’t among the Heaven Level planes, but it wasn't far from it. It was only slightly weaker than top-tier Realm Level planes like White Bones Realm.

Even more importantly, Daoist Sect Realm and Void Grotto Heaven originated from the same source.

Back when Void Grotto Heaven was undergoing a cataclysmic change, it was because of a fight between two martial brothers. In the end, the senior brother succeeded in ascending and took charge of Void Grotto Heaven.

The defeated junior brother left in disgrace and established his own astral world outside, under the name of Daoist Sect.

In this way, the Star Ruler of Daoist Sect Realm, Daoist Monarch Wu Tian, was actually Yu Lian’s martial uncle.

So when people from Daoist Sect Realm came knocking on Gu Nan’s door, their goal was naturally the ancient Void Grotto Heaven’s inheritance. After all, to them, this inheritance was no different from their own inheritance, and it might even be more complete than their current inheritance.

“Should we let them in?" Red Tail asked when she saw Gu Nan’s look of understanding.

"No need." Gu Nan, however, had absolutely no intention of going out to meet anyone and casually told her, "Just relay my message to them."

"What message?”

"Inheritance, don’t have, fuck off."

……

A few minutes later, Red Tail stood outside White Mist’s branch office in White Bones Realm, entertaining the two emissaries from Daoist Sect Realm.

She had a somewhat helpless smile on her face and a young girl sitting beside her—the only daughter of Daoist White Bones, Bai Qiaozhen.

With Daoist White Bones’ personality, Bai Qiaozhen was the de facto manager of White Bones Realm.

Red Tail was naturally the one who called Bai Qiaozhen over. She didn’t dare to actually convey Gu Nan’s message word for word. And since Gu Nan made it clear that he wouldn’t be accepting meetings with anyone, she could only rely on Bai Qiaozhen to send off the uninvited guests.

Fortunately, after the events surrounding White Bones Realm being besieged by seven planes, Daoist White Bones, a Star Ruler true to himself, had always been very kind to Gu Nan and had taken much care of White Mist.

“Honored guests, My Lord is indeed not here right now." Red Tail made a troubled face and suggested, "How about this, I will immediately inform the two of you as soon as he returns?"

The two men from Daoist Sect Realm were both dressed as Daoists. The older one called himself Wen Congdao, and the other was a young man called Guan Feng.

Wen Congdao always had a cold expression from beginning to end. On the other hand, the younger Guan Feng revealed a kind smile. “Why must Daoist Friend Red Tail say such things? Everyone knows that Lord Gu Nan lives here permanently."

Red Tail, now also a Void Cutter, had more courage in her heart and immediately changed her expression. “May I ask where you heard that? My Lord's whereabouts are not something we can inquire about excessively."

Having met two refusals in a row, Guan Feng's expression gradually turned cold.

At the side, Wen Congdao suddenly spoke up, "This matter is easy to resolve. Since Daoist Friend is sure that the person we’re looking for isn’t there, why don't you let us go inside and search?"

Red Tail immediately replied with a sneer, "Are you two joking?"

If even the organization's headquarters could be casually searched by outsiders, then there would be no need for White Mist to exist.

Wen Congdao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous glint shone in them, while Guan Feng glanced at Bai Qiaozhen next to him and spoke first, "In that case, this humble Daoist and Martial Uncle will take their leave."

After saying that, Guan Feng actually stood up, and Wen Congdao followed suit.

Seeing their figures fading away, Bai Qiaozhen couldn't help sighing, “From what I’ve seen, you guys will have to prepare in advance."
