On an isolated island at the southern edge of the continent, two youths were kowtowing every step as they walked towards the center of the island.
"Da Niu, can we really impress the immortals in the Heavenly Palace by doing this?" One of them had already kowtowed so much that his forehead was bleeding, and his knees were also scraped bloody. He couldn't help stopping for a short break while mumbling.
The young man named Da Niu, however, looked very thin, which was completely different from his name[1].
"You will succeed if you are sincere. How can you impress the immortals if your heart isn’t firm when seeking the Dao?" Da Niu said quietly without ever glancing at his companion. He just continued to kowtow every step, pressing forth.
His forehead and knees were in even worse shape than his companion’s, but he didn’t seem to feel any pain at all.
"But…" Da Niu's companion rubbed his wounds and suddenly winced in pain.
"The Heavenly Palace is an island where immortals live. They can see our every move," Da Niu opened his mouth coldly again, immediately scaring his companion into silence, not daring to utter another word.
Just like that, the two approached the island’s center step by step, and after more than an hour, they finally arrived at the center of the island.
The central area looked impressive. Swaths of gorgeous palaces covered the land. Because they were located in between mountains and fields, the scene gave people a strong visual impact.
"So… So magnificent…" Da Niu's companion murmured aloud, looking up at the majestic palaces. He was unable to avert his eyes, so he didn't notice the fierce light in Da Niu’s eyes.
Da Niu was currently roaring in his heart: ‘I, the Thousand Yin Demon King, have returned! Luo Jie, Luo Fei, just you wait! The day I secretly take control of your Heavenly Palace will be the day… Eh…’
This Thousand Yin Demon King who had been reborn by taking over Da Niu’s body was flabbergasted when he saw the state of the Heavenly Palace.
An enormous sword thousands of meters long smashed down from the air, cutting the front, middle, and back palaces in half all at once.
"This…" Da Niu gawked speechlessly.
Although he absolutely hated that pair of siblings, he also knew that as early as that year, they were already the most powerful figures humanity had to offer. Now that so many years had passed, he was afraid that they probably would’ve stepped onto the altar already and ascended as immortals, existences that no mortal could ever hope to match.
‘Who is so bold, daring to even attack the territory of the two strongest people in this world?’
Sure enough, someone appeared on the palace grounds and shouted furiously, "Who attacked our Heavenly Palace? Are you tired of living?!"
The people in the Heavenly Palace were much more arrogant than people from the major Dao Halls. After all, this place was the legacy of two Void Cutter Realm existences. Even though they usually paid no attention to the secular world, no one dared to look down upon them.
There were as many as seven Dao Lords in the Heavenly Palace—this was the might of the Heavenly Palace.
However, all this seemed meaningless in the face of the newcomer.
Gu Nan's figure slowly emerged from the void. Ever since he advanced to Tier 4, he naturally gained the ability to tear open the void and could easily travel throughout the continent.
Furthermore, as long as he had the coordinates, he could even travel between regions and directly visit the Central Region of Star Realm.
In the game’s words, after Tier 4, players unlocked the ability to teleport to any point on the map, which was really starting to resemble the middle to late stages of the game.
"Looks like Luo Jie never came back here." Gu Nan coldly looked down at the palaces. If Luo Jie had returned to this place, then the people in the Heavenly Palace wouldn’t be here right now—they would’ve scattered and fled a long time ago.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several more enormous swords chopped down one after another, smashing the Heavenly Palace into rubble. The Dao Lord who had opened his mouth just now was instantly cut into two pieces.
Da Niu hid to the side, staring at everything blankly. He looked especially dazed when he saw a Dao Lord powerhouse die in front of him just like that. This was someone that not even his peak power self dared claim he could win with certainty.
‘Has the world already become such a scary place?’ The Demon King, who had returned to this world after possessing Da Niu’s body, suddenly wanted to burst into tears.
On the other side, after Gu Nan got rid of the remnants of Heavenly Palace, people from White Mist soon came to clean up the battlefield.
……
"My Lord, at present, all the starships on Heaven and Earth Star are under our control. The Second Commander is currently checking the list of names submitted in the past two days, searching for… traces of those two."
San Wei stood in front of Gu Nan, cold sweat dripping down her forehead as she reported the current situation. Her original capable and experienced air was long gone, and she even stammered a little.
"Mm." Gu Nan just nodded calmly and said casually, "Just make sure that those two didn’t flee this planet. Control the situation on the mainland first. Have you encountered any trouble?"
Luo Fei was heavily injured by Gu Nan's sword, so her body wouldn’t be able to withstand the enormous pressure when jumping between regions. If she wanted to leave the Sixth Region, then she would need the help of a starship.
Therefore, controlling all the starships on Heaven and Earth Star could prevent those two from escaping.
"No," San Wei replied. "Since Ye Chen, the King of the Northern Region, went missing, there is no longer any resistance from the mainland. And all the Dao Lords submitted to us after the Second Commander destroyed two Dao Halls."
Gu Nan nodded again. His command to Red Tail was to take control of the overall situation in Heaven and Earth Star in the shortest possible time. Anyone who dared to resist could be killed.
This was actually done to hide White Mist’s existence.
Gu Nan still needed White Mist to create mist mirrors for him so that he could continuously harvest Evil Value, so he didn’t want anyone to pay attention to White Mist.
Since people already knew about his connection to White Mist, he might as well expand his territory to include the entire Heaven and Earth Star.
By making Heaven and Earth Star into a target for people to hit, White Mist could be hidden in the dark. So if someone wanted to attack him, White Mist wouldn’t be their first target.
"Where's Lan Si?" Gu Nan then asked.
"Miss Lan Si is still in secluded cultivation," San Wei hurriedly answered. After a pause, she added, "By the way, our people found a girl in the Heavenly Palace. From the Second Commander’s judgment, she might be those two’s daughter…"
Gu Nan paused, then asked, "Aren’t they biological brother and sister?"
San Wei also stared blankly when she heard this, then her expression turned strange. "That’s right… Their bloodline seems to be very special. In order to keep the family bloodline pure, they’ve always married within the family."
"How interesting." Gu Nan chuckled.
"Should I bring her over for you to see?"
Gu Nan waved a hand dismissively. "Forget it. Didn't I tell you before that White Mist should start collecting children from all over the world and train from an early age? Just add her in as well."
If there really was something strange about Luo Jie and Luo Fei's daughter, then it would naturally be revealed in time.
San Wei nodded and left, while Gu Nan stood up, casually tore open the void, and stepped inside.
After breaking through to Tier 4, it became much easier for him to control Shadow Form, and he was able to leave a mark in different planes. He could always return immediately if something happened here.
Gu Nan’s current destination was a special plane.
In fact, there were only two methods of reincarnation when categorizing them in terms of soul power invested—to invest all of one’s soul or to invest a wisp of the soul. It wasn’t like what Gu Nan believed before—that people could invest however much soul power they wanted.
Either all of the soul or a tiny bit; there was no in-between.
However, among Gu Nan's reincarnations over the years, one world was very special. It could use the world’s origin to replace half of the reincarnator’s soul, forming a very special "half-life" mode.
This was Immortal Demon World.
"Why in the world is it this way?" Gu Nan stepped into the void with such questions.
