Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

[Mission Location: Ghost Sea World]

[Mission Goal: Assist the Heavenly City Floating Island forces in defeating the invaders]

[Mission Difficulty: Three Stars]

The tall blonde, Nancy, couldn't help frowning when the mission details were revealed. "It's a three-star mission. Vivian, don't come with us this time."

A three-star mission normally required three or more Tier 3 members for a greater chance of success.

Nancy's team did have three Tier 3 members, but if they took Vivian with them, they might not be able to protect her.

"Big Sis Nancy, I can do it!" Vivian insisted, "I’m already a Tier 2 mercenary. If Adam doesn't use his laws, he sometimes even loses to me!"

The blue-haired young man on the side denied resentfully, "I was just careless that time! And I only… I only lost to you once…"

Before Adam could finish, Vivian glared right back at him, and his voice trailed off.

It had been nearly a month since Vivian came to this mysterious place. She basically figured out the rules here and also experienced a rapid growth in strength.

In one short month, she grew from a normal mercenary who only knew some fighting skills to a Tier 2 expert.

While it was true that much of this was thanks to the support provided by the Greater God Dimension, these results were also inseparable from Vivian's own efforts and talent.

Nancy stared at her for a while, then finally nodded. "Alright, if you insist. But you have to promise to follow my commands at all times."

"I will!" Vivian said excitedly.

……

Ghost Sea World.

Nancy took Vivian, Adam, and another Tier 3 teammate—a little boy named Jonathan who was adept at using bows. The four of them swiftly moved through the terrain.

"The mission requires us to assist the Heavenly City Floating Island in battle, but we must first understand the situation and figure out who our enemies and allies are," Nancy said calmly, looking like a dignified female boss.

"In the past, some teams were treated as spies by friendly forces due to their rash actions and executed." Nancy was afraid that some team members might get careless, so she added, "Dying in the Greater God Dimension means dying for real…"

"Boss, we get it. You’ve said this almost twenty times." Adam patted the greatsword on his waist and adjusted his posture into a more comfortable one as they moved forward. "And none of the people who died in the Greater God Dimension came back. Who knows whether they died or returned…"

In everyone’s eyes, the so-called "returned" naturally meant returning to the World of Gods, which was what they considered the main plane.

"Then you can try it," Nancy interrupted angrily, glaring at Adam.

Vivian stood to the side and exchanged a glance with Jonathan, the archer. She couldn’t help covering her mouth to hide her chuckle. The first time she saw Sister Nancy arguing with Adam, she thought they were going to quarrel.

Later, it was Jonathan who told her that those two actually came from the same continent and entered the Greater God Dimension at almost the same time. They had supported each other until now, and their relationship was so good that they could sleep together.

When the two finished bickering, Vivian interjected curiously, "Do you think the Greater God Dimension was really built by a greater god?"

This was the boring part of the journey, so the three of them didn't mind chatting with Vivian for a while.

Adam was the first to respond, "Probably. No matter which god established this, normal gods would never dare name this place the ‘Greater God Dimension’."

Adam showed no respect at all when discussing the gods and even had a bit of ridicule in his voice.

If this was her past self, Vivian would probably be very dissatisfied with his attitude, but now, not only did she not mind this, she even felt faint elation.

The god she once devoutly believed in did not protect her in the face of death, so what was the meaning of her piety?

On the contrary, Adam's words now gave Vivian a strange pleasure, as if entering a forbidden realm and tasting forbidden fruit.

……

"Subject No. 29 is currently performing well."

Inside White Mist, a man wearing white work clothes looked away from No. 29’s records and wrote down his own evaluation.

"No. 29, is that the girl named Vivian?" The man heard a voice behind him and quickly turned around, only to see Red Tail already standing there.

"Yes." The man said respectfully, "My Lord, you personally brought her back."

Red Tail nodded. When she was in the World of Gods, she set out to establish the White Mist branch and also selected talents from all the major planes, especially those who’d already lost their faith.

As for the seedlings who still worshiped their gods, White Mist had to make arrangements on that side to destroy their faiths one by one.

On the other hand, people like Vivian—who already lost their faiths—were very suitable for in-depth cultivation, so they were taken directly back to the Myriad Heavens, entering the "Greater God Dimension" established by Gu Nan himself.

As for why it was necessary to build a Greater God Dimension… Even the name was chosen by Gu Nan himself, so Red Tail certainly couldn’t object.

Red Tail nodded, and after carefully checking Vivian's records, she ordered, "Have Adam die in this mission. He can talk to Vivian a little before he dies."

The man in work clothes quickly agreed, but then pointed out, "It's just… the blasphemy evaluation of Subject No. 29 is only average. We need Adam's existence to cultivate the subject’s quality in this field."

But Red Tail insisted, "Just arrange for a new person to join the team. Your original training method is too slow. Vivian's potential is greater than you think."

……

Red Tail was naturally responsible for cultivating blasphemers in the Greater God Dimension. Gu Nan never paid attention to matters there ever since he finished setting up the Greater God Dimension.

He stayed in Void Grotto Heaven and met the Unified Dao cultivators, who visited one after another.

Even Song Fei was no exception. The top powerhouse in charge of Academic Heaven gave Gu Nan a kind smile for the first time and specifically told him not to take past matters to heart.

Now that Gu Nan ascended to Unified Dao, based on the agreement, all previous grudges would be wiped clean—even though Song Fei was the one who tried his best to kill Gu Nan before he actually entered Unified Dao.

Of course Gu Nan didn't take such words to heart. Anyhow, if they wanted to fall out, these Unified Dao figures could fall out at any time. The agreement was just hot air.

Except for Zi Luo Elder and Dream Immortal, Gu Nan saw all of the Myriad Heavens’ original Thirteen Heavens one by one this time, and the first person he met was Zou Jiming.

This somewhat talkative Star Ruler of Weapon Martial Heaven didn't provide much help to Gu Nan; he just came to chat.

In fact, most of these meetings were idle chatter. After all, they didn’t really have many dealings with Gu Nan. The only Unified Dao cultivators Gu Nan truly interacted with were Song Fei, Lu Wen, Zi Luo Elder, etc.

It wasn't until one person’s appearance that Gu Nan gained some new insights.
