Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 349: The Undead Kingdom

The Sacred Catacombs of the Undead—of course Gu Nan cleared this dungeon before.

In fact, he knew a little about any slightly famous dungeon in the World of Gods and even personally cleared most of them before.

"The nine entrances to the Sacred Catacombs actually correspond to nine tombs. It’s just that they’re all placed next to each other." Gu Nan explained, "You guys think only Sandro was buried there, so of course you can only enter from one entrance."

To put it bluntly, the Sacred Catacombs of the Undead was nothing special. It was nothing more than nine great powers of the necromancy class all buried together. Each entrance corresponded to one necromancer, so each had to be opened in a different way.

But the legend circulating throughout the Undead Kingdom believed only the legendary necromancer Sandro was buried in the Sacred Catacombs, so people attempted to open all the entrances using only Sandro’s method. Naturally, they could only open one entrance this way.

Gu Nan’s confidence stunned the gray-robed youth.

But ultimately, it wasn’t easy to change deep-rooted notions. The youth stared at Gu Nan doubtfully and muttered, "You say it like it’s true.."

Gu Nan didn’t speak again. With his personality, he normally wouldn’t even have bothered with an explanation.

Perhaps returning to the World of Gods made him feel like he was back in the game, so his speech and mannerisms also became more laid-back.

Even when faced with clueless NPCs, he didn't mind taking on the role of an elder and imparting some game knowledge to them, even if they might not understand it.

....

A while later, the group arrived inside a city built entirely from white bones. It looked extremely magnificent, yet slightly dilapidated.

This city didn’t really have a resounding reputation—it was simply called Skeleton City. However, it was one of the few major cities in the Undead Kingdom, so its actual status far exceeded its reputation.

"The three of you can rest here. Du Ke will immediately notify you of any news regarding an entrance to the Sacred Catacombs of the Undead," Lu Xinhuan guided Gu Nan and the others to a separate courtyard and said with a light smile.

Du Ke was the gray-robed youth from earlier and had already left to handle other matters.

In reality, with Lu Xinhuan's status, there was no need for her to personally act as a guide for Gu Nan, but perhaps because of her business background, she paid more attention to these kinds of details.

After Lu Xinhuan left, only Gu Nan and his two companions were left in the courtyard.

Zi Dian was the first to speak up, "There’s something strange about this World of Gods. The space here seems to be particularly strong and difficult to break."

Zi Dian was also a top Void Cutter and might even take that final step and fully enter Star Ruler Realm at some point, so he was naturally sensitive to the world's oddities.

"Indeed." Wu Gui nodded. "It’s very difficult for normal Void Cutters to open a spatial rift here. Even for me, I'm afraid that my coordinates will be slightly off if I try to open a passage here."

While discussing this, two turned to Gu Nan in unison, as if eager to hear his opinion.

With his knowledge of the World of Gods, he should know the most about this subject.

However, Gu Nan didn’t have any intention of answering. From the time Zi Dian brought up space, his thoughts were already carried away on a tangent as he compared the two worlds.

Originally, Gu Nan had always looked for similarities between the Myriad Heavens Universe and the game world, and he did indeed find many similarities, such as the power system, as well as Star Rulers and gods.

But when he actually came to the World of Gods, which was extremely similar to the game world, he realized that the two plane clusters also had a large number of differences.historical

The most typical difference was in the world view.

Like Zi Dian said, the space in the World of Gods was very stable, and the “Legend Rank” here, which was equivalent to Void Cutter Realm, had almost no ability to tear open space, not unless they had some special laws.

Even most of the gods here frequently experienced a large deviation in their landing point when using spatial teleportation. To put it bluntly, the space was too stable, so it wasn’t easy to manipulate.

Because of this, no one here could just casually enter someone else's Divine Kingdom, which was very different from the situation in the Myriad Heavens Universe.

Moreover, the two sides even had entirely different world systems.

The Myriad Heavens Universe was completely composed of the astral worlds of various Star Rulers, and the remaining ownerless territories were simply planes that hadn’t been occupied by Star Rulers yet.

But the World of Gods was different. Here, the places with the highest concentration of powerhouses were the eleven main planes, and all the Diving Kingdoms, including those belonging to the greater gods, were only subsidiary planes that orbited the main planes.

The Undead Kingdom where Gu Nan’s group was currently at was one of the main planes that had already been abandoned. It was filled with a large number of undead, and gods no longer came here to recruit followers.

"Gu Nan?" Wu Gui's slightly surprised voice snapped Gu Nan out of his contemplation. "You seem quite absentminded."

Gu Nan came back to his senses and nodded. "I just remembered some things. You guys can wait for news here; I still have some things to do. We’ll enter the Scared Catacombs together after I return."

"Okay," Wu Gui agreed directly and didn’t even ask Gu Nan if he needed any help. After all, he wasn’t the type of person who’d hold back out of politeness if he did need help.

Gu Nan's figure soon disappeared, leaving only Zi Dian and Wu Gui. The former looked at Gu Nan's disappearing figure and remarked, "I really didn't expect for him to have already grown to this point in just a few short years."

"It might not necessarily be growth," Wu Gui replied expressionlessly. She had already concluded that Gu Nan was the reincarnation of a god from the World of Gods.

She believed he was just like her—who possessed all of her past life’s memories and part of her past life’s power—and experienced no bottlenecks when breaking through realms, so advancing was naturally as easy as breathing.

Zi Dian rubbed the scabbard in his hand and smiled. "Maybe we can investigate his origins here in the World of Gods.. Even if we don’t become his enemies in the future, it never hurts to know more about him."

....

Of course Gu Nan didn’t know those two had already assumed that he was the reincarnation of a god and even wanted to investigate his origins in the World of Gods.

But he wouldn’t care even if he did know. An Evil God’s power was simply untraceable. It was a power exclusive to players, so much so that many native gods didn’t even know about Evil Gods.

Of course he didn’t suddenly leave on a whim. He really did have something to do.

Gu Nan never forgot his two goals for coming to the World of Gods. Firstly, to hunt down suitable gods to earn Evil Value for himself, and secondly, to find a suitable innately-gifted race to serve as his apostles.

There were actually many suitable gods to hunt, but with Gu Nan's current strength, gods worth 2,500 Evil Value weren’t very easy to kill, at least not with 100% certainty.

That was why he voluntarily brought Wu Gui along after hearing what she needed.

Gu Nan's target this time was inside the Sacred Catacombs of the Undead, so he wasn’t in a hurry to kill the target.

On one hand, he first had to subdue a race to be ready to attack at all times. On the other hand, he also needed certain special items to awaken the god slumbering in the Sacred Catacombs.

With Gu Nan's knowledge of the Undead Kingdom, it was naturally more convenient to resolve these two things together, so he quickly selected a destination:

The other major city of the Undead Kingdom, and also the central city belonging to the vampire clan—the Capital of Blood.
