For Gu Nan, level was indeed very important.

There was no fundamental difference between one’s laws at Tier 11 and Tier 12. Even the differences between Tiers 11 and 15 were not so great as to be overwhelming.

But Gu Nan’s Evil God physique would drastically improve with his level.

An incredibly powerful physical body had always been Gu Nan's greatest asset, even after advancing past the Second Round.

Only with the Evil God physique could he confidently fight or even kill a greater god. This was also the tactic Gu Nan was best at.

Jiu Po's true intentions were still unclear, so Gu Nan couldn’t fully believe the cooperation he proposed. He needed to gain more power first.

For example.. advancing to Tier 12.

Even in the game, Gu Nan's strategy after the Second Round had always been to wait until he reached Tier 12, then find ways to hunt greater gods.

....

Greater God Dimension.

Vivian could no longer remember when she first came here. Was it 40 years ago, or 50 years ago?

That wasn’t really important. From thinking about escaping all the time back when she first arrived to discovering that there was no possibility of escaping this place, Vivian had already resigned herself to her fate.

She grew from a weak mercenary who didn't know anything and would even cause her teammates’ deaths to a powerful expert at the peak of Legend Rank. She knew the Greater God Dimension like the back of her hand.

To a large extent, Vivian’s area of activity even shifted to the Greater God Plaza.

As a veteran reincarnator who’d been reincarnating for decades, Vivian was already one of the most powerful members in the entire Greater God Dimension.

Therefore, people like her had the first pick of all the newbies who just entered the Greater God Dimension when choosing new team members.

Vivian's teammates had also changed several times. She was the only one who survived to this day.

For example, Nancy died at the threshold of Legend Rank. Because she was unable to break through, she was dragged into a high-difficulty mission and killed.

[A new mission has started. Please prepare to depart immediately]

On this day, Vivian received a mission without any warning.

This phenomenon was very strange, because reincarnators of her level were usually given time to prepare before starting a mission.

But the next line of text that appeared made Vivian feel a chill in her heart.

[Mission Type: Individual Mission]

Individual mission!

In the Greater God Dimension, individual missions were very rare. The most common situation was the forced advancement mission.

To put it simply, one had to either successfully pass the mission by breaking through or die.

Vivian could never forget that because Nancy was stuck on the threshold of Legend Rank for too long, she finally received a personal advancement mission and ultimately failed, dying in the process.

Vivian herself successfully broke through to Legend Rank outside of missions, so she never received such a mission. She didn't expect to see it now.

‘Speaking of which, I really have remained at Legend Rank for too long.. But what will happen if I continue to advance? Will I become a true god?’

Vivian's mind churned with thoughts, but her consciousness was gradually pulled outside the Greater God Dimension..

....

"Subject No. 29 has entered the final experiment phase."

In a pristine white laboratory, such a voice rang out the moment Vivian accepted the mission.

"Very good. Evacuate all personnel in Dimension 29. No matter the outcome, it’s impossible for her to go back," a man in a lab coat took off his glasses and remarked with some emotion.

The time flow difference allowed Vivian to live a full forty years in the Greater God Dimension while only a few months had passed here. Now, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

And everyone involved in the construction of Dimension 29 had no need to continue their acts anymore.

....

Vivian found herself in a familiar place when she woke up again.

Over 40 years of life-and-death struggles in the Greater God Dimension did not make Vivian forget her origins. On the contrary, she often recalled the past.

If her past self had her current power, could she have changed everything?The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).

Now, her dream came true.

That’s right—she returned.

"Brother!" Vivian couldn't help blurting out as she looked at the familiar face in front of her.

"Vivian, you’ve woken up?" Arthur couldn't help exclaiming happily when he saw his sister regaining consciousness. "That's great.. No, now is not the time to be happy."

He quickly dragged his sister up and carried her on his back. "Quick! Let's run.."

"Catch them! Kill them all!"

The shouts from behind were getting closer by the second. Arthur gritted his teeth and quickened his pace again, still trying to comfort his sister.

"Don't be afraid, Vivian. The Temple of Radiance is ahead. As long as we run inside the temple, the mighty Goddess of Radiance will definitely protect us!"

But Vivian was in a daze.

Only she knew that if they ran inside the temple, they would truly be throwing themselves into a trap with no escape.

These pursuers had no regard for the gods. Even the very god the two siblings worshiped did not care about their survival.

"No! We can't go there!" Vivian jumped off her brother's back and said quickly.

Arthur stared at his sister in shock, wondering why she suddenly became so lively.

However, just as the two stopped running, a sharp arrow shot at them from behind, heading straight for Arthur's back.

"Watch out!"

Vivian shouted and subconsciously pointed at the arrow. She was accustomed to her identity as a Legend Rank powerhouse and subconsciously wanted to use the power of laws to stop the arrow.

It wasn't until she raised her hand that she realized she had returned to the past and was no longer the same as her current self..

‘No! The power of laws appeared!’

Under Vivian's surprised gaze, she directly disintegrated that arrow, and the terrifying power of laws even flooded her surroundings, killing most of their pursuers.

"Legend Rank expert! Run!" The leader of the pursuers immediately ordered after witnessing this scene.

Vivian stared at her hands in shock, and Arthur was even more stunned, looking at his sister as if he didn't recognize her.

"Vivian, this.."

Vivian didn't have time to think too deeply about this. No matter where her powers came from, the most important thing right now was to leave with her brother.

However, right at this moment, a ray of light shone down from the sky.

Arthur was all too familiar with this kind of aura. He immediately knelt on the ground with his head bowed and said with tears in his eyes, "Praise the Lord! You really have not abandoned us.."

Vivian was also familiar with the aura of the Goddess of Radiance, but she knew that it was not the gods that saved her brother, but her own power.

"Fallen One." The Goddess of Radiance’s voice was extremely cold, "Those who obtain the power of demons shall be punished by me."

Arthur felt as if he’d fallen into an icy abyss. He turned around in disbelief and stared at his sister.

Did her earlier power really come from demons?

Vivian gazed at the Goddess of Radiance indifferently, and the last bit of awe she held for the gods disappeared from her heart.
