Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 230: Taking Control



"You two…" Xue Yan and Yan Xiaoxiao spoke simultaneously. They clearly felt incredulous about the sudden increase in competition.

"The essence of fusion is to link your souls with each other and connect your minds together," Lu Zhanyu said softly as she continued to take a step forward.

"You two were originally born as one. Your wills influenced each other, but instead you kept your remaining ego. How can the two of you fuse completely when you’re like that?" Gu Nian finished her words and stepped forward as well.

The two of them gently placed their clasped-together hands on that ball of light.

The final step that Xue Yan and Yan Xiaoxiao still couldn’t take seemed unable to obstruct Gu Nian and Lu Zhanyu at all.

"Why." Xue Yan stiffly turned her head. She knew that she had no distracting thoughts, so the problem was definitely Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but her originally blank expression began to contort, looking like she was both crying and smiling.

"Teacher…"

When she uttered that word, the connection between her and Xue Yan collapsed with an explosion, and all the black light on her body disappeared, only leaving behind an ordinary-looking girl.

She, who originally should’ve erased all her emotions, still had one last remaining ego inside her heart. It was the part that belonged to Gu Nan.

That eternally unreachable teacher who first led her onto the path of killing had been deeply imprinted in her personality.

The next moment, Gu Nan began to stop, because as the ball of light was touched, no new opponent appeared in front of him anymore.

"In the end, we won." Lu Zhanyu began to smile. She, who had taken control of the world’s origin, could clearly feel her power expand.

This feeling of controlling the entire world was really too wonderful.

But only she herself knew exactly how high of a price they paid for this. From this moment on, her life would forever be connected with another person’s.

Bam!

Lu Zhanyu's smile was still frozen on her face, but her head had already been smashed apart. Gu Nan’s figure appeared beside her as Lu Zhanyu’s blood splashed all over Gu Nian’s unsuspecting face.

"Who said that you won’t be killed as long as you controlled the world’s origin?" Gu Nan shook his hand and muttered to himself with some confusion.

Even the statue Zuo Zuo left behind could be smashed. What use would just controlling the world’s origin be?

Gu Nian watched all this with a dumbfounded expression. Lu Zhanyu's soul was directly destroyed, and their connection from the deepest part of her soul made her suffer a heavy blow as well.

Her face quickly aged and even withered. Her body also gradually dried up, then drifted away like dust in the wind.

"But you two really did me a great favor." Gu Nan revealed a smile as the law of shadows instantly invaded the world’s origin.

This time, his objective wasn’t to control it, so he didn't attract the world's rejection. Instead, he simply did something he was very skilled at.

Just like the three months of experiments he repeated, the power of shadows engraved a mysterious pattern—it was precisely Immortal Demon World’s array for capturing souls!

The world’s origin used this array to take away half of all its residents’ souls. Now, Gu Nan used the same method to take those souls away from the world’s origin.

In the blink of an eye, the world’s origin was directly emptied, and the surviving reincarnators inside Immortal Demon World immediately returned, while the indigenous people were completely unaware of what just transpired.

Gu Nan finally showed a satisfied look. His three months of hard work wasn’t in vain after all. It came in handy at this time.

Then the law of shadows started to take control of the world again, and this time there was no resistance from the world’s origin.

It could no longer forcibly provide Gu Nan with fusion targets. Just like the rules in the game, it began to enter a self-sealed state and could only wait for Gu Nan to control it bit by bit.

However, unlike Lu Zhanyu, who could freely control it, not only could Gu Nan not freely control it, but trying to control the world’s origin actually occupied the vast majority of his law of shadows.

"The majority of your power should already be sealed right now…" Xue Yan’s empty voice was like a gust of cold wind, calm yet secretive. It made people’s entire bodies feel cold.

Yan Xiaoxiao, who still had a tiny connection to Xue Yan, instantly changed her expression. “Teacher, leave quickly!”

But all her strength actually came from Xue Yan. Now that the power connection between the two was severed, she couldn’t do anything at all.

The next moment, endless light resurfaced. Xue Yan was already right next to Gu Nan. "Fuse together with me…"

"Manipulator of shadows, our powers both originate from the same source…”

Bam!

Gu Nan punched her in the face, but in a rare occurrence, she wasn’t sent flying. He just broke her nose, and Xue Yan's face instantly bled profusely.

"Quite tough! As expected of the law of light…" Gu Nan shook his hand a few times and commented.

Light and shadow were indeed two sides of the same coin, but the Xue Yan in front of him clearly walked a different path compared to him.

She wanted to turn her entire body into light. If she becomes a Star Ruler in the future, she might really just achieve the level of "the light is me, and I am the light."

"Ah—"

A scream came from Xue Yan's mouth, and her body exuded boundless brilliance, which enveloped Gu Nan in an instant.

"Teacher…" Yan Xiaoxiao stood by in a daze. Her connection with Xue Yan had completely disappeared, so she didn’t know what was happening inside.

But she could guess.

‘Now that Teacher fell directly into Xue Yan’s radiant light without any strength to fight back…’

But before she could despair, the endless brilliance retreated, revealing Gu Nan's perfectly intact body.

"What the hell… is your body made of!” Xue Yan's extremely weak voice was full of rage.

She couldn’t imagine that her own invincible law of light would fail to even erode the enemy’s skin when the other side was clearly powerless right now!

On the contrary, she actually fell into a weakened state because she overused her law of light.

Gu Nan, who was still controlling the law of shadows to invade the world’s origin, shrugged.

With the 80% damage reduction from Resistance, not even the law nullification attribute could hurt him, let alone this degree of erosion.

Originally, he wanted to wait until after he’d completely taken control of the world’s origin to deal with Xue Yan, but since she delivered herself to his doorsteps, he naturally had no reason to refuse this gift.

The heart inside his Evil God physique thumped slightly, and his right hand, infused with the law nullification attribute, stabbed directly into Xue Yan's chest, instantly killing her.

……

An hour later, deep in the endless starry sky, a red-haired girl slowly opened her eyes.

"Xue Yan is dead." Looking somewhat puzzled, she frowned and said to herself, "He didn't intervene in that world, or else I would’ve known… So who killed Xue Yan?"

Behind her back, countless armored servants silently knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, should we…"

The girl shook her head gently. "Have Starry Ocean Pavilion handle it. Star Realm has been peaceful for too many years."

……

Inside the Myriad Heavens Starry Road, Zuo Zuo was looking into Immortal Demon World from the outside with a chuckle. There was an odd smile on the left side of his face that resembled an eerie girl’s face.

"To think you have this sort of law… You’ll be of great help to me." He reached out and grabbed something gently, and a wisp of soul was caught in his hand. Zuo Zuo’s figure then vanished instantly.

It’s just that the soul he grabbed showed Gu Nian’s face.
