Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God-Chapter 533: Cooperation

Zhao Ping was already dead.

After Professor Wang heard Zhao Ping's name from An Yiqing, he was naturally determined to find this person's whereabouts.

As a result, someone discovered Zhao Ping's corpse on a street corner near the college. There were no physical wounds on his body, and none of his physiological functions had malfunctioned.

To be precise, he suddenly lost consciousness and starved to death.

This eerie phenomenon was so puzzling that not even the Federation police was able to find the cause.

Because Zhao Ping’s consciousness had been completely destroyed when Gu Nan's will descended, leaving only a husk for Gu Nan to possess. And when Gu Nan's consciousness left, all that was left was naturally an empty shell.

Fu Cheng carefully inquired about Zhao Ping's death. For some reason, she always felt that this strange cause of death was related to her notebook.

"So then, has he ever told you anything?" Fu Cheng looked at Professor Wang again and asked.

"He wants to remake a game…" Professor Wang didn't intend to hide anything and told her everything Gu Nan said before.

"《Evil God》?" Fu Cheng rubbed her chin in thought. After all, she’d only been in the industry for three years, so she had no in-depth understanding of this centuries-old game.

Fortunately, Professor Wang was prepared and gave Fu Cheng the information he had previously given to Gu Nan to read over.

"Executive Fu, Mr. Gu Nan suggested using the experience of the Greater God of Light as the main story and centering the perspective around him to create the game plot. I think it’s quite feasible."

Professor Wang couldn't help speaking up after Fu Cheng finished browsing through the documents. If at first he just treated it as a normal business deal, then now, he truly wanted to make this game.

When Fu Cheng appeared in front of him, Professor Wang realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

No matter how much he promoted himself, he was still just a professor at a second-rate college, while Fu Cheng was a rising star in the gaming industry.

His reputation would undoubtedly rise significantly if he could collaborate on a game with her.

But Professor Wang didn't expect that without even needing any persuasion from him, Fu Cheng had already said decisively, "Then I’ll have to trouble Professor Wang to sort out the relevant information and make a plan for me. We at Chengying Entertainment are willing to put down all our current work and dedicate ourselves solely to this project.”

……

While Fu Cheng was busy making a game, Gu Nan had already arrived at another location.

Inside the Inner World at the core of the Myriad Heavens, Zero's blue projection stood in the air, and her respectful voice echoed in the control room.

"Welcome back, King."

Gu Nan looked at Zero. "Do you still remember who you were in the past?"

"What do you mean?"

"Before coming here."

Zero's voice fell silent, and it wasn’t until a long time later that a negative answer came, "No… I can't recall anything…"

Gu Nan nodded. He didn't expect Zero to remember anything; he just wanted to try asking.

At this moment, a figure gradually emerged behind Gu Nan. It was an average face, but the newcomer exuded a mysterious aura.

"Looks like you’ve already met Yellow Springs." Jiu Po walked out from behind Gu Nan, his gaze also landing on Zero. "How is he now? Is he still stuck at the threshold of Unified Dao?"

It seemed that Jiu Po had indeed not seen Daoist Yellow Springs for a long time and didn’t even know he’d already entered Unified Dao.

Gu Nan didn’t say anything about his encounter with Daoist Yellow Springs, but Jiu Po also didn't mind. He just smiled. "He said he wanted to find the place we came from… but I don't believe that.” f(r)eenovelkiss

"Why not?" Gu Nan couldn't help glancing at him. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

Jiu Po answered, "I witnessed the collapse of the three realms, and there was no Myriad Heavens to speak of at that time. If such a place even exists, it cannot be hidden from my eyes."

Here, he sighed. "What's more, so what even if we do find it? With our current status, we can no longer go back."

Jiu Po didn't know the existence of the Gap World, nor did he know that the dimensional wall there was particularly strong. What he said about not being able to go back was entirely his own thoughts.

After all, for a Unified Dao existence, both their hometown and old friends had been submerged in the long river of time; only they themselves could exist for eternity.

Gu Nan, who saw Earth with his own eyes, actually had similar feelings.

Even if it was just a few hundred years, it was still enough to completely erase all traces of his past life.

And only by seeing Earth with his own eyes did Gu Nan realize that he was now a Unified Dao powerhouse who stood at the apex of the Myriad Heavens.

Beneath him were the living beings of heaven and earth. He could manipulate the laws of the world at will, playing with the Myriad Heavens as he wished…

Such an existence had no reason to consider themself mortal. The two weren’t lifeforms on the same level at all.

Gu Nan withdrew from his contemplation. No matter his thoughts, they wouldn’t affect his next moves.

Continue his plan in the Gap World to find the cause behind the transmigrations of people like Jiu Po and himself, continue with the Blasphemer Project to earn enough Evil Value for himself, and lastly, sort out information collected from the Scholar Temple.

The appearance of the God of Twilight was so sudden that Gu Nan could tell something was wrong at a glance, and there must have been even more changes in the details.

Now that he discovered the Gap World, Gu Nan could compare the original plot with the real world to find the differences.

"Are you interested in cooperating?" Seeing Gu Nan fall silent, Jiu Po couldn't help asking again, "To hunt greater gods."

Gu Nan couldn't help laughing. "Greater gods aren’t that easy to kill… And why are you so keen on this?"

Gu Nan undoubtedly had the most say in whether or not greater gods were easy to kill. In the game, he practically slaughtered all the greater gods at least once, but this did not mean greater gods could be killed easily.

The best way to deal with a greater god was to destroy their Divine Kingdom bit by bit. Only when they lose the support of all their faith would it be easier to extract them from their law.

Therefore, the later the stage in the game, the easier it was to kill them. If there was only one greater god in the world, then Gu Nan could directly hunt the god down.

On the contrary, there were over a dozen greater gods right now—all helping each other—which was the essential reason why it was hard for him to take action.

But Jiu Po shook his head. "You don't need to care about my goal. I know you rely on slaying gods to grow. You just need to tell me whether you’re willing to cooperate or not."

Gu Nan's gaze landed on Jiu Po's face, as if he wanted to see him through.

This fellow was mysterious, but like he said, the other party’s goal was none of Gu Nan’s business.

Gu Nan would never refuse any opportunity to kill a greater god—because a greater god meant a significant amount of Evil Value.

Perhaps level wasn’t too important to other Unified Dao cultivators, but it was very important to Gu Nan.

"Okay." Gu Nan finally nodded. "But not now. I need time."

"Of course, I can afford to wait." Jiu Po smiled.
