Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God Chapter 211

Every Void Cutter existence was considered a true powerhouse. They were extremely difficult to kill, and they also had the ability to cut through the void and run away. Not even Star Rulers could restrict their travel.

Therefore, as the official organization of Star Realm in a certain sense, Starry Ocean Pavilion never spared any effort to show its respect for Void Cutter Realm cultivators.

Based on factors like one's comprehensive strength and the organization they belonged to, Starry Ocean Pavilion would give seals of various ranks to Void Cutter cultivators—Meteor Rank, Planet Rank, and Star Rank.

Gu Nan was disdainful of this kind of rank division because such a division could no longer correspond to the power system in his Evil God Game.

In the game, there was no more content to show starting from Tier 4. Thus, players needed to integrate their previous gameplay and start to build their own laws.

Of course, there was still no shortage of Evil Value requirements.

Players could build an exclusive law at each of the 500, 1,000, and 1,500 critical Evil Value thresholds.

Among them, the exclusive law at the 500 Evil Value threshold was the core skill arcana, which allowed the player to advance to Tier 4. In contrast, the other two Evil Value thresholds required the player to extract and construct the laws themselves.

The number of points that needed to be spent here was naturally an astronomical figure.

Gu Nan didn't know whether Void Cutter Realm cultivators here also had multiple exclusive laws, but in sum, they couldn't simply be ranked purely by strength.

For example, the King of the Deep Sea who was critically wounded by Gu Nan's single strike was a Planet Rank Void Cutter expert, yet he couldn't even beat the Gu Nan who just advanced seconds ago.

"Planet Rank seal?" Gu Nan toyed with the seal shaped like a badge and smiled thoughtfully.

"Mr. Gu Nan could defeat the King of the Deep Sea, so you naturally have the right to possess it," Starry Ocean Pavilion's envoy replied calmly, but her face didn't have any expression at all, looking quite vacant.

Gu Nan's gaze swept past this girl, and he smiled. "It's indeed generous of Starry Ocean Pavilion to send two Void Cutter cultivators as envoys… What's your name?"

"Xue Yan."

The girl's eyes shifted to Gu Nan's face. Her expression couldn't even be described as vacant anymore; it was simply lifeless.

If Gu Nan's own laws didn't clearly tell him that a Tier 4 expert was standing in front of him, he'd much more likely believe that this was a girl with dementia.

But the other envoy looked much more reliable.

This person was dressed in all black, standing beside Xue Yan but never speaking up; he just kept sizing Gu Nan up.

He looked like a young man, and his actual age wasn't old either. He was just over 200 years old this year, which was considered very young by Void Cutter standards.

This person named Zhou Xiaojing was a direct descendant of a powerful figure in Starry Ocean Pavilion. He was a very famous cultivator, even in the Central Region.

Red Tail stood behind Gu Nan, her eyebrows furrowed into a knot as she stared at this girl envoy from Starry Ocean Pavilion.

The person in front of her felt vaguely familiar, as if she'd seen this girl a certain night in the past, but her memories were very fuzzy.

Red Tail couldn't be sure that this girl was the same mysterious girl she met before. She realized that her memories had been tampered with, so it might have been another person's ploy to make her believe they were the same person.

And… She looked behind Xue Yan, where there was clearly an elongated shadow.

'So she has a shadow…'

Red Tail was even less confident about her own judgment.

"According to the rules, Starry Ocean Pavilion hopes that you can pay a visit to the Central Region," Xue Yan said expressionlessly, as if going through a mere formality.

"I'll go when I have time," Gu Nan casually replied.

There were a pile of matters he had to attend to right now. Immortal Demon World, personal dungeons, the Luo siblings… Every matter would take up a large amount of his time. How could he have any free time to visit the Central Region?

Especially since right before Zuo Zuo left, he specifically told Gu Nan to visit the Central Region, so Gu Nan was even more reluctant to go.

'Who knows what's waiting for me over there?'

Gu Nan wasn't interested in the Star Rulers' secrets; he just wanted to level up in peace.

Faced with Gu Nan's answer, Xue Yan still just nodded woodenly.

Zhou Xiaojing, however, surprised everyone by suddenly saying, “Those who don't visit the Central Region will not be a Void Cutter cultivator recognized by Starry Ocean Pavilion. Your Excellency should consider it carefully."

Gu Nan didn't even look at him. He just looked at Xue Yan and asked, "Anything else?"

"Nothing else." Xue Yan shook her head, then turned and walked away.

Zhou Xiao was stunned, but he finally couldn't hold back anymore. He said loudly, "Miss Xue, all Void Cutter cultivators have to visit Starry Ocean Pavilion before they can be officially granted seals. This is the Pavilion's rule."

Xue Yan looked back. Her expression was still empty, but her eyes seemed to be a little confused.

"Is that so? Then what do you guys usually do if he doesn't go." The interrogative sentence was uttered by Xue Yan without any inflection, making it seem more like a statement than a question.

Gu Nan looked at these two with some amusement. This Miss Xue Yan really was rather honest and frank. Wasn't she making it obvious that she was someone who stepped into this matter at the very last minute?

Zhou Xiaojing felt so angry that his mind was frazzled. 'How can the headquarters send such a person and even tell me to assist her in handling this matter?'

However, at least he was a professional. He quickly adjusted his mood and looked at Gu Nan gravely. "Mr. Gu Nan, all Void Cutter cultivators must be registered by Starry Ocean Pavilion, or else they'll be regarded as foreign cultivators."

"If you insist on not going, then we can only invite you by force." Zhou Xiaojing looked prideful, there wasn't much emotion in his heart.

He was merely trying to gain the upper hand through a show of strength. He would first make an excessive demand, then conveniently concede once the other side became angry at this demand they couldn't possibly accept. This was a strategy where he would advance first and then back down slightly.

_{Visit ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ, for the best no_vel_read_ing experience}

This wasn't the first time Zhou Xiaojing had done such a thing. He knew that the arrogance of these Void Cutter experts must be worn down, otherwise it would be difficult for Starry Ocean Pavilion to handle matters.

Gu Nan looked at him, then lowered his head and considered for a moment. Finally… he drew his sword and chopped downwards.

The pitch-black longsword was drawn out of the void, and before anyone could react, it swung down directly on Zhou Xiaojing.

"Have you gone crazy!?” Zhou Xiaojing's expression immediately changed. His figure flashed, and he was swept aside, all of a sudden pulling 10 meters away from the sword and managing to avoid Gu Nan's strike.

But he still had some lingering fear and shouted at Gu Nan, "Gu Nan, do you really want to make an enemy out of our Starry Ocean Pavilion?"

Gu Nan stood where he was, holding the sword in his hand as he said expressionlessly, “I imagined the future for a bit just now. We'll probably still end up fighting, so let's not waste any words."

Zhou Xiaojing almost coughed up a mouthful of blood in anger.

'Do you understand the concept of advancing first and retreating later?'

'Do you understand the concept of asking for a sky-high price at first and then lowering the price?'

'You flipped the table before we even started negotiating—who plays the cards like you?!'

The corner of his lips twitched twice, and he finally flung his sleeve angrily. "You two lunatics can talk it out; do whatever you want!"

After throwing that sentence out, he turned and walked away without any hesitation—he just came to help Starry Ocean Pavilion send a message. Whether Gu Nan ultimately went or not had nothing to do with him, so he didn't need to risk his life over this matter.

Gu Nan saw him leave but didn't put away his sword. Instead, he looked at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan nodded slightly. "Then, I will also be taking my leave."

She turned away for the second time, but when she was about to leave Gu Nan's sight, she turned around again. Gu Nan didn't know if he was mistaken, but there was actually a slight smile in her eyes.

"I'm looking forward to your visit to the Central Region, possessor of the law of shadows.”
