551 Chapter 551: Mu Qishuang

"You really want to kill Eugene first?"

"I lied."

"Then who's your true target?"

"None of your damn business."

The above conversation took place between Zou Jiming and Gu Nan after the Unified Dao meeting. Classmate Zou Jiming, who'd always been good at worming his way into being friends with people, seemed to have hit a wall with Gu Nan.

But Zou Jiming didn't seem to care. Maybe he'd long grown accustomed to these kinds of situations.

Unable to get any more information out of Gu Nan, he left with a smile, having no intention of pestering Gu Nan any further.

In fact, not many arguments or disputes happened during this meeting of the Sixteen Heavens. Even though the conflict was triggered by Lu Wen and Gu Nan, war was unavoidable—everyone knew that.

Right now, it was meaningless to argue about whose fault this was. This meeting was more about entering a firm and unanimous alliance against the external threat and formulating their next plans.

But any plan they could think of paled in comparison to Gu Nan's "I'll kill one first" remark.

Since Gu Nan had this confidence, the Unified Dao powers didn't mind supporting this plan of his.

In any case, Gu Nan would be the only person losing face if the operation ultimately failed, which would only cause his words to hold little weight in the future. On the other hand, they wouldn't suffer any real losses.

...

In Clockwork Heaven, when Gu Nan, Lu Wen, and Jiu Po sat together again, the topic of discussion was naturally what Gu Nan just said.

"Do you think some of us will secretly leak that information to the World of Gods?" Lu Wen asked.

Regarding Gu Nan's target of Eugene, he subconsciously felt that it was unlikely. In terms of both difficulty level and strength, Eugene was not the best choice at the moment.

In the Great War between the two worlds, Eugene was almost certainly the commander-in-chief of the war operation. There was no doubt about this.

To put it bluntly, as soon as the war started, he would basically never leave Austin's side for even half a second. Even if he joined the battlefield in person, his top priority would still be ensuring his own safety.

Killing Eugene would definitely deal a heavy blow to the World of Gods and bring the entire wartime command chain to a standstill, but it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult.

There were so many possible targets, so why would Gu Nan pick the hardest one?

"Even if no one leaks it, we still have to have someone to leak this matter." Gu Nan said, "So what if they know it might be a diversion? Would they dare leave Eugene unguarded after that?"

Gu Nan took a sip of tea. "Old Lu, you don't understand just what kind of existence Evil Gods are to these gods. They even believe I can destroy the world. What can't they believe?"

"You have a point…" Lu Wen gently twirled the short beard on his chin.

He also didn't quite understand the greater gods' thoughts. At least based on his interactions with Gu Nan, the other party was not someone with self-destructive tendencies. Rather, Gu Nan was excessively rational.

In Lu Wen's eyes, any decision Gu Nan made must certainly bring him the greatest benefit, and for this goal, he could ignore all morality and rules.

Sometimes onlookers might think his actions unwise or outrageous, but in the end, time would always prove that Gu Nan was right all along. It's just that outsiders couldn't see the whole picture at first.

Gu Nan then glanced at Jiu Po again. "You guys can arrange for someone to leak the information. I need to find a person in the Sixteen Heavens who has no connection to me on the surface to do something for me."

"Not a problem." Jiu Po immediately nodded. He'd been operating in the Myriad Heavens for tens of thousands of years, and the current Sixteen Heavens' Star Rulers were all basically his juniors.

There were quite many people he secretly invested in—like Song Fei—who had a good relationship with him. It's just that very few people knew about their relationship.

If Song Fei's attack on Zi Luo Elder hadn't had such a huge impact, he probably also wouldn't be remembered until now.

...

Inside the Divine Kingdom, Gu Nan was sitting comfortably in the Evil God Temple, waiting for the person arranged by Jiu Po to arrive.

After harvesting Valen's Evil Value, he already took a big step towards Tier 13. Of course, if he only relied on the Blasphemer Project, he'd still have to wait for a long time.

This waiting time would at least be ten to twenty years, and that was even taking into account the increased efficiency from further expansion of the Greater God Dimension.

But in reality, with the resumption of the Great War between the two worlds, it was a foregone conclusion that a large number of gods would fall, and the Blasphemer Project could only be said to be the meat on a mosquito's leg, better than nothing.

"In the end, I still have to hunt greater gods…" Gu Nan understood his situation very well.

Starting from now, every greater god was extremely precious and must not be allowed to die at anyone else's hands, or else he might end up having to raise greater gods himself.

For greater gods and Unified Dao cultivators, level was not too important. At most, it only affected the upper limit of their power output. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝓮𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

What truly determined one's combat effectiveness was more the nature of their laws and actual fighting style. There were all too many cases of tactics deciding victory or defeat in fights. Anyhow, with their astral worlds and Divine Kingdoms around, everyone's power was practically endless.

But Gu Nan was different. Level would actually affect the strength of his Evil God physique, which in turn determined how long he could last against the enemy. In contrast, the increase in attack power became less significant. In any case, everyone would die in one punch.

"Teacher, someone…" Yan Xiaoxiao's voice sounded a little urgent. It was obvious that the person did not enter through normal methods, having broken into the Evil God Temple directly.

"It's okay." Gu Nan waved his hand. This was the person recommended by Jiu Po. freewe bnovel.com

In the Evil God Temple, a travel-worn figure appeared before Gu Nan. This was a graceful young girl in a light green dress. There was a strange pattern painted on her face, which made her appear somewhat bewitching.

This was the only other female Unified Dao existence in the Sixteen Heavens besides Yu Lian and Dream Immortal—Azure Sky Heaven's Mu Qishuang.

Gu Nan had met everyone in the Sixteen Heavens. He only had a superficial understanding of some, while others left a deeper impression. Mu Qishuang belonged to the latter category.

The reason she left a deep impression was because she was a Unified Dao cultivator with a very special law.

This kind of law was so special that not even Gu Nan had seen it before. Perhaps such a law never even appeared in the entire World of Gods. It was a law that belonged exclusively to the Myriad Heavens.

To "commune with Heaven"—this was the name of Mu Qishuang's law.

Mu Qishuang could communicate with the Heavenly Dao of any world. Her cultivation path was to continuously understand and communicate with all planes until she mastered every aspect of them.

However, the World of Gods did not have so many planes in the first place, and the artificially-built Divine Kingdoms couldn't be communicated with casually, so such a law naturally wouldn't exist there.

"Jiu Po said you need my help with something?" After a brief greeting, Mu Qishuang cut straight to the chase.

"That's right." Gu Nan nodded. "I need you to help me train a person and have him advance to Tier 5 as soon as possible. It would be best if he can join the Heaven-God Alliance and head to the World of Gods."

While saying this, Gu Nan also handed over all the information about Dong Xun to Mu Qishuang.

The pawn called Dong Xun must be handled by someone with no connection to Gu Nan, or else this bait might not be able to catch a big fish.
