Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

The battlefield under the city wall seemed to fall silent at a certain instant.

Time seemed to freeze. This feeling gradually faded when Yang Guang's head landed on the ground, and the frozen scene started moving once again.

This seemed to be a brief interlude on the chaotic battlefield; only the few parties involved realized its significance.

The one-eyed Star Ruler was practically dumbfounded. It was true that the thought of a champion laying their hands on their own soldiers just to deny the enemy the final blow never occurred to him.

In fact, these Star Rulers had never placed enough emphasis on the importance of last hitting.

This could also be seen with Mi Luo and Mi Tian. It was clear that their last hitting skills weren’t bad, but they just had to focus on killing people instead.

After all, in real wars, nobody had ever heard of slaying the insignificant foot soldiers first and leaving the commander alone.

But in the end, the one-eyed Star Ruler was still a Tier 5 existence. After staring blankly for a few seconds, he quickly reacted and abruptly disappeared.

Anyhow, this wasn’t the first time the other party had brought him surprises—plus, if he didn’t leave now, he might end up just like Yang Guang.

If the one-eyed Star Ruler was just surprised that "You can do this kind of thing?”, then Yang Quan’s three views had practically collapsed.

He was more rational than his older brother Yang Guang, so he had a higher tolerance for some of the esteemed champions’ more unreasonable actions.

But what he could tolerate definitely didn’t include attacking friendly soldiers, especially his older brother!

Fury suddenly rushed through Yang Quan's brain, and he felt as if something shattered.

Things that clearly seemed fishy but were somehow ignored by the past him all welled up in his mind.

‘It’ll be more effective to gather soldiers and attack together. Why couldn’t I think of such a simple principle before?’

‘If even I can read about the art of war, then why would all these commanders and generals in the base naively send out only one wave of soldiers each time?’

‘And why does the White Base and Black Base have to fight for so many years without cause or reason? Why can't we sit down and hold peace talks?’

No one could answer Yang Quan's doubts. Everyone else seemed to ignore all these strange circumstances.

Although Yang Quan was situated in a hot-blooded battlefield, his heart felt ice-cold.

He looked up into the distance. It seemed as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything from the normally crimson sky.

No matter what Yang Quan thought, denying was as normal as can be for Gu Nan. He didn’t mind using this method to prevent the one-eyed Star Ruler from last hitting at all.

As long as the one-eyed Star Ruler couldn’t deal enough final blows before the minions guarding the city were cleaned up, he wouldn’t dare to show himself in front of Gu Nan and Wu Gui, and the siege wouldn’t be affected.

Boom!

Gu Nan swung another shadow sword at the city wall. Even with Prodigious suppression, the obvious shaking revealed the damage to the city wall.

A large number of EXP from champions and minions allowed Gu Nan to reach Level 4, which was equivalent to the Dao Lord level in the outside world.

If he could reach Level 5, then he would regain his Void Cutter Realm cultivation and obtain his ultimate “Righteous Judgment” at the same time, after which his fighting strength would experience another qualitative leap.

However, the amount of experience required to reach Level 5 was more than the total experience needed for all four previous levels, so there was no chance of reaching Level 5 for the time being.

The one-eyed Star Ruler was still lurking among the minions guarding the city, but he’d been unable to efficiently last hit ever since Gu Nan took action. He was perfectly suppressed by Gu Nan's denying.

The number of White Base minions who died at Gu Nan's hands had already exceeded ten, and the amount of space that the one-eyed Star Ruler could hide in had also shrunk step by step.

When the last minion guarding the city fell, the one-eyed Star Ruler finally had no place to hide and reluctantly withdrew behind the city wall.

The city wall probably couldn’t be defended anymore, but he wasn’t stupid enough to be buried along with the city wall.

……

Ying Ge and Zi Dian charged for a while on the white lane, then returned to the rear while waiting for the last minion wave of today to arrive.

They were already quite familiar with this. They also encountered similar situations when they entered Champions World in the past, but…

White fireworks suddenly exploded in the blood-red sky, gorgeous and dazzling.

Ying Ge and Zi Dian gazed up in amazement. White fireworks meant that the Black Base’s city wall had been destroyed. The enemy’s city wall on this lane was clearly still in good condition, so there was only one possibility…

"They destroyed the city wall in just one day?!” The astonishment in Ying Ge’s eyes was hard to hide. This was completely contrary to common sense.

If killing enemy champions could still be explained by Gu Nan’s strong personal ability, then how could the destroyed city wall be explained?!

At the current stage, no matter how powerful they were, no champion could tank several laser attacks from the city walls!

"Not unless a large number of soldiers arrived under the city wall at the same time." Uncle Zi Dian's face was also full of doubts, but his judgment was quite close to the truth.

Ying Ge was silent for a long time before muttering, "We have to step up our game too… There’s only one enemy champion in this lane right now."

With the tacit understanding of two people who’d been living together for ten thousand years, Zi Dian naturally understood what she was saying.

……

On the black lane, there were still many White Base minions left after Gu Nan destroyed the city wall, so he continued to head for the Black Base headquarters.

Right then, two lights flashed through the sky almost simultaneously, one white and one black.

Gu Nan glanced up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling into a smile—his allies on the other lane killed the fourth enemy champion at the expense of one of them dying.

When the one-eyed Star Ruler ran here to bring the news, there was only one person left to defend the other lane. Once he was also killed, the enemy’s city wall would suffer.

The terrain in Champions World wasn’t complicated. Knocking down the city wall was basically opening the main gates to the Black Base, just waiting for Gu Nan and the others to pay a “personal visit.”

The last surviving wave of White Base minions marched in unchallenged. They were far smaller than the city’s main gates and couldn’t be stopped at all.

Countless people in the Black Base fled in all directions, and there was quite a feeling of invading soldiers entering civilian villages.

However, the soldiers in the White Base were clearly disciplined. Even in the face of the Black Base they had a feud with, they still didn’t plan to kill indiscriminately. Instead, they headed straight to the soldier’s barracks.

Soldiers were constantly pouring out of the Blase Base’s barracks. They were the garrison forces responsible for defending the Black Base headquarters.

Wu Gui was about to go up and help when Gu Nan pulled her back. "The wave is too small; we can't finish it all at once. Let's stir up trouble."

"How to stir up trouble?"

"Murder and arson." Gu Nan explained indifferently, "Can these soldiers still maintain their calm when they see their loved ones being killed and their homes being burned?"

"When they’re busy scattering in all directions and lose their military formation, we’ll be able to attack."

Wu Gui nodded. "That makes sense."

"Despicable and shameless!" Another voice sounded from behind the two. It was a young man who was glaring at Gu Nan with a face full of rage after hearing his words.

This was Yang Quan.

The current Yang Quan had messy hair and bloodshot eyes. He felt that his whole person was about to fall apart, and something seemed to be bursting out in his heart.

However, this had another meaning in the eyes of Gu Nan and Wu Gui—this person looked as if he was about to disintegrate into pure laws.
