Chapter 211: 222

Gu Nan didn’t know what Star Rulers in the Myriad Heavens Universe called their own worlds, but he was more used to calling it the Divine Kingdom.

An experiment that made him waste three months finally reached this kind of conclusion, making Gu Nan feel both happy and a little speechless at the ridiculousness of the situation.

But if Immortal Demon World really was a fragmented Divine Kingdom, then his three months of work couldn’t be considered a waste.

‘After all, a fragmented Divine Kingdom… is still a Divine Kingdom!’

The gap between a naturally-formed plane and a Divine Kingdom was akin to the gap between a pebble that could be seen everywhere along the roadside and a half-carved gem.

Of course certain pebbles would contain gems inside, but wouldn't it be better to use a semi-finished gem from the very start?

As for the traces left behind by the predecessor who once ruled this world… As an old hand who experienced hundreds of Divine Kingdoms, Gu Nan expressed that he wasn’t pressured in the least by this.

In his early years, Gu Nan was once tempted to make Immortal Demon World into his reserve Divine Kingdom in the future, so he arranged a lot of chess pieces here.

Later, he temporarily lost interest in Immortal Demon World because of the appearance of personal dungeons, but it wasn’t too late to pick it up again.

Who knows whether Gu Nan's luck could be considered good or bad. He obtained a personal dungeon on the first day he started translating worlds’ wills, but he never saw another personal dungeon for three whole months after that.

In fact, this was normal. To fully devour a world’s origin meant that he needed to finish all of that world’s missions. How could that be so easy?

It really was pure dumb luck that he got a personal dungeon on the first day, and because of that, he unexpectedly met Zuo Zuo, which caused so much subsequent trouble.

Gu Nan couldn’t help feeling a headache at the thought of Zuo Zuo.

Even now, he still couldn’t quite understand why exactly he caught that fellow’s attention and what Zuo Zuo’s goal was.

‘Is it because of Star Realm? Unlikely. Star Realm never deliberately concealed its own existence, so Zuo Zuo could’ve found Star Realm a long time ago.’

‘Do I possess something else that can catch the interest of this high-ranking Star Ruler?’

"Lord San Wei." Gu Nan's subject had woken up. He didn’t recognize Gu Nan but recognized San Wei, so he hurriedly saluted.

San Wei ignored him and just waited for Gu Nan's command.

"Let him leave." Gu Nan casually ordered, "Look into this world’s historical legends, strange landscapes, or places like forbidden areas."

"Ah… Okay," San Wei was shocked by his strange request, but she answered quickly.

Based on Gu Nan's experience, only two reasons would result in a Divine Kingdom not splintering apart after the death of its ruling god. Either the god wasn’t completely dead, or something else took the god’s place and oversaw the operation of the Divine Kingdom.

Going by the fact that Immortal Demon World spontaneously exchanged half of the reincarnator’s soul, the second case seemed more likely.

Moreover, Gu Nan had a greatsword in his hand called Righteous Judgment. He was least afraid of powerhouses at death’s door. If they corner him, true damage will teach them how to behave.

And if something else really did take over this Divine Kingdom’s operations, then the overseer would definitely still be inside the Divine Kingdom, and the place the overseer was at would undoubtedly be a little strange. That location wouldn’t possibly be normal.

……

Inside Azure Dragon Hall’s headquarters, Lin Jun and Yan Xiaoxiao's conversation continued on.

"Are you sure you can succeed?" Lin Jun's voice seemed very worried.

"Of course… not." Yan Xiaoxiao smiled a little helplessly. "But I still need to try, otherwise my life will seem meaningless."

From an ordinary girl of a wealthy family all the way to her current position, her legendary experience was more than enough to write two novels.

However, the higher her status rose, the heavier the emptiness in her heart grew.

She was already the Hall Master of Azure Dragon Hall—the most powerful woman in the world. But she had no relatives, no friends, and even no one that she could speak her mind to.

Fortunately, Lin Jun came today.

"Sometimes I’d wonder, was this how he felt back then?" Yan Xiaoxiao murmured softly. That person’s figure seemed to flash across her eyes again—that man who relentlessly pursued ever stronger power for all eternity.

"He sees human life as dirt and sees loneliness as nothing. He scorns all the rules of this world… If gods really do exist in this world, then they would probably look like that?"

Even though over twenty years had passed, Yan Xiaoxiao was still the person who understood Gu Nan the best in the world.

"He may indeed be." Lin Jun gave a wry smile. She knew more than Yan Xiaoxiao and knew exactly how Gu Nan left Ruby Fish Star and slaughtered his way to the Sixth Region.

She didn’t know what happened after that, but it probably wasn’t too different from before—he would always be the strongest person.

Yan Xiaoxiao seemed to have understood something. She stopped talking about this topic and even looked relieved, as if a heavy weight had been lifted off of her mind.

"Thank you." Yan Xiaoxiao said, "I've endured for so many years; it’s time to be willful for once."

Lin Jun stared at her blankly, wondering what she meant. She came here to persuade the other party to stop, not to…

But Yan Xiaoxiao had already stood up. She slowly walked out of the hall and ordered her attendants, "Summon all the officials in Azure Dragon Hall for me."

"Ah? Hall Master, what are you planning?" The attendant was startled and blurted out a question.

Yan Xiaoxiao ignored his disrespect and instead smiled. "A decisive battle."

……

A black-haired girl was sitting on a black lotus in the endless void, coldly glaring at the people in front of her. This girl was precisely Wu Gui.

Two people stood in front of her, a man and a woman.

The two had very different styles. The man was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, while the woman's face was vacant, looking like a fool.

"The Immortal Demon Meeting is approaching. Buddhist Ancestor, please stay back." The man was all smiles as he looked at Wu Gui.

"Smiling Gentleman, Shadowless One." Wu Gui’s icy gaze swept over the two. "Don't think that this one won't kill you two just because you’re listed on Starry Ocean’s ranking."

"How can we juniors dare to compete with Buddhist Ancestor?" The Smiling Gentleman seemed to be always smiling. “We just want to ask Buddhist Ancestor to remain here for a while."

Before Wu Gui could respond, the woman beside him, known as the Shadowless One, interrupted, “Exactly how long do we need to keep her here for?”

The Smiling Gentleman stared at her in astonishment, his expression practically screaming, ‘Can you not be this blunt?’

However, since she’d already asked that question, he couldn't just ignore it. He maintained his smile and answered, "Since Buddhist Ancestor has already reincarnated for ten thousand lifetimes, you might as well meditate here for ten thousand years as well."

This wasn’t a very funny joke. The Shadowless One still had a blank expression, while Wu Gui’s expression didn’t even change.

But the next moment, a palm overflowing with demonic intent had already arrived before the Smiling Gentleman.

Buddhism was one of the few paths in the Myriad Heavens Universe that still valued cultivating one’s physical body. Therefore, Buddhist experts often fought with their bodies.

This palm was too fast and too sudden, and it was also too secretive and unpredictable. The Smiling Gentleman’s expression instantly changed, and he almost couldn’t maintain his smile anymore.

"Are you just going to keep watching!?" He snapped as his right hand clutched at the empty space. It was too late to dodge, so he could only draw out a long blade from the void and use it to block this palm strike.

But Wu Gui’s power far surpassed his imagination.

This single palm alone directly shattered his law, and his whole person entered critical condition. He could only flee towards the nearest world behind him.

Based on their earlier goal of trying to block Wu Gui’s way, this was precisely Immortal Demon World.

‘I really lost big this time! I didn't expect this old monster's strength to have actually recovered to this point…’ This was the Smiling Gentleman’s last thought before losing consciousness.

"Hopefully that one surnamed Xue is reliable and can at least hurt Wu Gui…"

On the other hand, Wu Gui’s expression didn’t even change after defeating an enemy with one palm. An opponent of this level couldn’t even enter her eyes at all.

But right at that moment, a searing and harsh light burst out from beside her.
