Gu Nan didn’t yet know that someone had already realized the connection between the strange phenomenon in Immortal Demon World and Zuo Zuo, whose two halves were different.
But even if he knew, he still wouldn't care. He never cared about what others thought.
Returning from Immortal Demon World again, Gu Nan was expelled by the power of the world, but he also learned more and more about the whole process of the half-soul exchange.
There weren’t many opportunities for Gu Nan to truly observe a world’s origin, because the Evil God Temple converted most of the world’s origin he received into materials he needed.
This led to the relatively slower progress when Gu Nan needed to understand the inner workings himself.
Fortunately, he had no shortage of time for the time being.
Meanwhile, White Mist immediately mobilized and began to invest a large amount of manpower into Immortal Demon World when the abundant force of destiny was discovered there.
So in a very short time, a large number of children of destiny were born, which greatly accelerated change in the general trend of that world.
Gu Nan didn’t pay much attention to this. For the time being, the natives of Immortal Demon World had nothing of value to him.
……
Both White Mist and the Heaven and Earth Committee stationed a considerable number of people at the ruins of Heavenly Palace Island to monitor possible movements.
Even Gu Nan stationed a shadow doppelganger here, lurking quietly.
But no matter how many people they stationed, they still couldn’t find any trace of the Luo siblings—because these two were currently three kilometers underground.
No matter how strong their detection methods, they were unlikely to detect enemies this far belowground, especially when the targets were two Void Cutter cultivators.
Luo Jie slowly walked into the dark underground passage while his younger sister Luo Fei was floating in the air, her entire body glowing faint white. She still had a ghastly wound.
Even now, the injury Gu Nan gave her still showed no signs of recovery.
This was the power of shadows superimposed tens of times, so the residual ultra-high concentration law of shadows completely suppressed the power of Luo Fei's own law.
In front of Luo Fei was an enormous silver crystal. There seemed to be an invisible bond between the crystal and Luo Fei, continuously transmitting power to Luo Fei.
With the continuous transmission of power, Luo Fei's aura became stronger and stronger, but her face was full of pain, and she couldn’t help giving some pained grunts.
Even a mighty Void Cutter Realm cultivator found this pain unbearable; the amount of pain was inconceivable.
Luo Jie’s eyes couldn’t help flashing with unbearable pain when he looked at his sister's slightly trembling body.
They discovered this secret stash many years ago but had always been afraid of using it impulsively precisely because of the high cost and the considerable risks.
‘This time, if not for Xin’er…’ Luo Jie remembered the fellow who hurt his younger sister and destroyed the Heavenly Palace, and his expression gradually became ferocious.
At that moment, Luo Fei suddenly stopped glowing and fell down.
Luo Jie quickly stepped forward to help his younger sister.
Luo Fei slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Brother, one more day… and I’ll be able to leave this place."
"But your body…" Luo Jie looked down at the sister in his arms. Her entire right hand was swollen with water.
This wasn’t some kind of illness. Rather, it was caused by the power of the crystal entering Luo Fei's body that couldn’t be completely absorbed.
Although this kind of power was formidable, it wasn’t something the human body could absorb at all. If this wasn’t the case, then they wouldn’t have made it their very last resort.
"No matter." Luo Fei's face appeared somewhat harsh. "Even the most basic level of control over this power will be enough to kill that person!"
Luo Jie was silent for a while. He knew that all the suffering his sister endured these days naturally had to be counted on Gu Nan's head.
"But we have to rescue Xin’er first." Ultimately, Luo Fei didn't completely lose her mind. She still remembered her daughter.
"Of course." Luo Jie finally smiled. "I've found a way to lure the tiger away from his territory."
……
Under Gu Nan's intentional guidance, even part of White Mist moved off of the planetary ring.
Today's White Mist was divided into two parts. Only a few departments related to reincarnation remain on the planetary ring while the rest had all moved to the mainland.
Gu Nan usually lived in White Mist’s station on the mainland.
On this day, everything seemed to be progressing as usual, but Gu Nan recently paid attention to one more thing—unifying Heaven and Earth Star’s continent.
Unification couldn’t be done in a single day. Even if Gu Nan had an absolute power advantage, Lan Si and her people would still encounter all kinds of trouble.
It was still alright if enemies resisted by force—they could simply suppress them. But it was a different matter if there were people who pretended to agree but never had any intention of obeying or people who took advantage of Lan Si to purge their own enemies.
No matter how much power and prestige a leader had, the subordinates would still have their own countermeasures, eventually making it so that the leader couldn’t even say anything.
Lan Si was very troubled by this recently. After all, she seldom encountered this kind of practical problem and had to ask Gu Nan for help from time to time.
Gu Nan was even less likely to understand these things. In the end, his response was always the same sentence: "Play around however you want. Even if you poke a hole in the sky, I can still mend it."
……
"Looks like that Miss Lan is indeed an inexperienced fledgling."
"Right? I thought that person’s dispatched representative would be a shrewd figure, but who would’ve thought…"
"Maybe she’s acting? Heheh, she might just be waiting to catch us red-handed when we start behaving unscrupulously!"
"Ha…"
Such remarks could be heard everywhere within the Heaven and Earth Committee. The Cang Lan Dao Lord couldn’t help but give a small cough when she heard these people talking again.
Those people were startled. When they looked back and saw someone coming, they hurriedly saluted. "We greet Lord Cang Lian."
"Mm." The Cang Lian Dao Lord nodded slightly, then added, "Don't talk about nonsense. You can all leave… Du Chuan, you stay."
The group exchanged glances with each other. They were afraid to say anything else and left one after another, leaving only a man named Du Chuan.
Du Chuan made sure there was no one else around before he whispered, "My Lord, rumors about Miss Lan are spreading everywhere right now. Even Elder Pan’s people are moving… It's time to act."
The Cang Lian Dao Lord gently flicked the tip of her hair and asked indifferently, "Are you sure the Tang family is connected to Lan Si?"
"Miss Lan once suffered grievous injuries and was saved by the Tang family." Du Chuan said seriously, "As long as we can trick the Mystical Heaven Dao Hall into seizing the Tang family’s property, Miss Lan certainly will not sit idly by…"
"Good." Cang Lian nodded and waved her hand. "Let's do that then."
After saying that, Cang Lian quickly walked away. She seemed reluctant for someone else to see her conversation with Du Chuan.
What she didn't see was that just after she walked away, Du Chuan turned and walked towards the opposite direction with a strange smile on his face.
As Du Chuan walked away step by step, cold sweat broke out. He had never tried to deceive a Dao Lord like this before.
‘In the end, I… didn’t bring disgrace to my mission, Lord Luo.’ He whispered in his heart.
