Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 469: Weak Gods Hunting Manual



After the battle in Daoist Sect Realm ended, Gu Nan immediately checked the losses and gains, and the results somewhat exceeded his expectations.

Perhaps because Gu Nan's earlier actions had indeed frightened many of the Star Rulers, not many dared to intervene, even until the end.

This also resulted in very little casualties to the divine servants, and there was even a 0% casualty rate amongst the apostles, with only a handful of them suffering some injuries.

However, the gains this time were far greater than any other time in the past. Even compared to the earlier attack on Star Realm, this battle still yielded far more points.

After all, Star Realm was merely the weakest of the Realm Level planes, and because of the vastness of its geography and the meddling of other Star Rulers, the war hadn’t been fully successful, so the amount of points gained naturally couldn’t be maximized.

After collecting his thoughts, Gu Nan started considering his next move.

Judging from the current situation, choosing the "reaching heaven in one fell swoop" method by directly advancing to Tier 10 was the more reliable option.

After making such a mess in the World of Gods, it would be inappropriate for him to appear in public again, not unless he was prepared to be interrogated and exposed in front of people.

In that case, rather than making two trips to the World of Gods when advancing to Tier 9 and Tier 10, it would be better to do it all at once.

In terms of points, Gu Nan did some rough calculations. If he followed the simplest route of operating the Divine Kingdom, choosing all structures with the aim of leveling himself up, Tier 10 was actually close at hand.

At most, he would get enough points after slaughtering one more plane with half the population of Daoist Sect Realm.

There were often players who became addicted to the later stages of the Divine Kingdom playstyle after the First Round and couldn't extricate themselves, because there were simply too many structures to choose from from Tier 8 onwards.

They each had their own peculiar uses, and from the perspectives of both appearance and functionality, these structures were all worth building.

Some players even turned their Divine Kingdoms into impenetrable fortresses, so that even a greater god-level powerhouse couldn't easily break in.

For the game's developers, the large variety of structures undoubtedly satisfied the portion of players who loved to build bases while also extending the game's lifespan.

But for a top player like Gu Nan who pursued efficiency, a large number of structures would be of little use; instead, picking out the cheapest structures to meet the upgrade criteria was top priority.

"But even so… the Myriad Heavens is still really efficient in terms of points!" Even Gu Nan couldn't help sighing with emotion.

In the game’s terms, Daoist Sect Realm was only a Tier 8 Divine Kingdom, yet the amount of points that could be harvested surpassed even that of a Tier 9 Divine Kingdom.

In the end, it all came down to the source of points, which mainly came from fanatical worshippers in the World of Gods, so the harvesting—be it efficiency or total amount—was far inferior to directly hunting powerful people in the Myriad Heavens.

The shortfall in terms of points wasn't too large, and it could even be said that because of the characteristics of the Myriad Heavens, he could gather enough without too much difficulty, but there was no possibility of such a loophole when it came to Evil Value.

One needed to kill at least three Tier 10 gods to advance to Tier 10. Of course, the player could also choose to make up for the number with lower level gods, but the number needed would be several times greater.

"It seems like this is the only way." Gu Nan sat calmly inside the Evil God Temple, his gaze falling to the horizon.

……

"What is… this?" Red Tail was slightly surprised when she saw the stack of documents placed in front of her.

The documents detailed a method of cultivating underlings—the Godhead Cultivation Method.

To describe it in the simplest of terms, by using a Godhead as the raw material and a mortal with excellent talent as the culture medium, one could easily cultivate a subordinate who was at least Void Cutter Realm.

Red Tail was perfectly aware that this was by no means false information, as an example was laid out in front of her—Lan Si had been cultivated using a similar method.

More importantly, there was only one Lan Si, but with this cultivation method given by Gu Nan, the Godhead could be utilized over and over again.

Once the subordinate was cultivated to the point of satisfaction, the Godhead could be directly removed. Unlike Lan Si, who became Gu Nan's apostle, this cultivation method merely utilized the sublime laws contained within the Godhead.

Of course, the more the Godhead was used, the less laws would remain within. But in this state where the target semi-fused with the Godhead, it still wasn’t much of a problem to use the Godhead like this ten or so times.

"I know that the birth of a Void Cutter is, in a sense, harder than making a Legend Rank powerhouse." Gu Nan said with a smile, "The level-up route over there is smoother, and they have no need to comprehend the law of space."

"That's why many Star Rulers—especially the weaker ones—have a high demand for Void Cutters."

To a large extent, the number of Void Cutters in an astral world represented the Star Ruler’s overall power, but unfortunately, Void Cutters couldn't be cultivated just because they wanted to and demanded a high level of enlightenment and talent from mortal candidates.

But now, Gu Nan had placed a cultivation plan with an extremely high success rate in front of Red Tail.

Having followed Gu Nan for many years, Red Tail was familiar with his style, so she already realized what Gu Nan was trying to do as soon as she saw this information.

"Are you planning to… publicize this information?"

"Yes." Gu Nan nodded and said with a light smile, "And it can't be openly publicized; it has to be secretly spread around."

He wanted the information to be secretly circulated in the circle of weaker Star Rulers. It wasn’t as if Red Tail hadn't done similar things before, so it wasn’t very hard, and she quickly nodded.

It’s just that her current knowledge was also far superior to the past, so she could see where the real difficulty lay for this plan.

"But the difficulty of obtaining a Godhead is quite high, isn’t it?" Red Tail asked carefully.

Quite many Star Rulers actually knew the situation of the World of Gods, but the two sides had always lived together in harmony. To put it bluntly, it was because there was no conflict of interest. Although Godheads were great, the benefits weren’t really proportional to the effort expended to get them.

Gu Nan smiled and took out another piece of information from the drawer. "This one, on the other hand, can be publicized."

Red Tail hurriedly accepted the document, and when she saw the title alone, she couldn't take her eyes off it anymore.

Clearly written on it were the words: Weak Gods Hunting Manual.

……

Geng Chengyun was a Star Ruler who just broke through not long ago and hadn’t had the chance to take control of an astral world yet.

He did find a suitable target in the Inner World, but because of his own lack of strength, he wasn’t in a hurry to try and instead chose to stabilize his foundation first.

On this day, he was planning to go out for a relaxing stroll after just finishing a round of secluded cultivation when he received a letter from an old friend.

"Extremely urgent, come to Nine Islands World as soon as possible." The sender of the letter was none other than Geng Chengyun's old friend, Nine Islands World’s Star Ruler Mai Cheng.

Geng Chengyun, who was familiar with his old friend's style, felt slightly alarmed. He knew Mai Cheng would never send him such a letter if there wasn’t a genuine emergency, so he hurriedly rushed to Nine Islands World.

Mai Cheng became a Star Ruler about two thousand years ahead of him, so they could barely be considered as the same generation. In the past, Mai Cheng often looked after him.

When Mai Cheng sent out the "extremely urgent" letter, Geng Chengyun had already decided that he would help his old friend in any way he could.

Only when he arrived at Nine Islands World did he realize that the situation wasn’t what he expected.

"Brother Geng is here? Come quickly, come quickly, we were all waiting for you!" As soon as Mai Cheng sensed Geng Chengyun's appearance, he hurriedly guided him down and said excitedly.

Only then did Geng Chengyun realize with surprise that four Star Rulers were already waiting for him inside the tiny Nine Islands World.

Besides Mai Cheng himself, there were two more that he recognized, both of whom were weak Star Rulers at a similar level as himself and the others.

"Brother Mai, what are you guys…?"

Mai Cheng slapped Geng Chengyun's shoulder and laughed. "Brother, our chance has come!"
