Chapter 231: Handling the Aftermath

｢Evil Event Complete: Immortal Demon Meeting. Total Evil Value obtained: 150｣

As the dust settled, information came from the Evil God Temple in due course. Gu Nan's QQ coins… no, Evil Value, arrived in his account.

This was Gu Nan's first Evil Event since he reached Tier 4, and the reward was far richer than before, but it wasn't beyond Gu Nan's expectations.

As players leveled up, the event rewards would inevitably increase.

Of course that wasn't because the game wanted to make it easier for players to level up, but because the higher the level, the more difficult it was to trigger Evil Events, and their difficulty levels would be higher, so the rewards would increase accordingly.

After getting this reward, Gu Nan's Evil Value had already surpassed the 1,000 mark in one fell stroke, and with Lan Si's efforts during this period, it reached 1,044 Evil Value.

And he also had 2,400 points right now, which was from basically sucking the personal dungeon "Splendid World" dry.

'It's barely enough to build the second law…' Gu Nan silently calculated in his heart.

But it wasn't the time yet. Matters in Immortal Demon World should be handled first.

He looked at Yan Xiaoxiao, who was perfectly intact next to him, and revealed some confusion. "I thought you'd also disappear along with her when Xue Yan died."

Gu Nan was still far from thoroughly understanding the Immortal Demon World that Zuo Zuo left behind, and there was still much about the extremely rare law of "fusion" that he needed to study.

Just like how Gu Nian instantly aged and withered away when Lu Zhanyu's soul was destroyed by him, both sides of a soul fusion were indistinguishable from each other.

Xue Yan was already completely dead, yet Yan Xiaoxiao could still survive. This was truly strange.

"From the moment she was taken away, it was a foregone conclusion that only one of us would survive," Yan Xiaoxiao recounted in a calm tone, but her voice sounded quite helpless.

If there was no Gu Nan, maybe she and Xue Yan would've suddenly drawn their swords at each other at the last second before the fusion.

Yan Xiaoxiao read all of Xue Yan's memories. There were certain things that Xue Yan, who had little worldly experience, didn't understand, but Yan Xiaoxiao understood them very well.

'That one in the deepest part of the starry sky…'

That apathetic figure dressed in red involuntarily flashed through her mind again.

"So is Teacher going to kill me?" Yan Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze and looked at Gu Nan with a light smile.

Gu Nan shook his head. Who was still alive in the current Immortal Demon World was meaningless to him. He also didn't care about Yan Xiaoxiao's life and death.

Gu Nan looked down at the world's origin in his hand. It was being slowly eroded by the power of shadows.

Because Gu Nan emptied all the captured souls inside the world's origin, it could no longer provide him with a fusion target and automatically entered a sealed state where Gu Nan could slowly take control.

"It's just a little slow…" Gu Nan muttered to himself.

Judging from this takeover speed, it would take at least several years for him to truly control this world's origin.

Fortunately, he was doing this inside Immortal Demon World, where the flow of time was ten to one with that of Star Realm.

At the end of the day, it was because his level wasn't high enough. After all, converting a dungeon into a personal dungeon was something that Tier 5 players did. It was still a little too early for the current Gu Nan.

If Gu Nan was already Tier 5 right now, the time needed would be greatly reduced.

However, it was also necessary to sort out this place before truly taking control of Immortal Demon World.

In the Evil God game, there were many playstyles regarding Divine Kingdoms. Besides the "combat style" gameplay given out by the game's official channel, players could freely develop their own ideas.

Those who liked scenery and landscapes could build marvelous buildings, develop new races, and manage the Divine Kingdoms as they wished using beauty and aesthetics as the standard.

Those who liked to manage and operate their Divine Kingdoms could personally develop civilizations and guide the people of the Divine Kingdom onto the direction players want. Concepts of race, ethnicity, aesthetics, and values… Everything could be decided by you.

The faction who valued combat effectiveness was simpler and more direct. This type of player's only purpose was to increase the average fighting strength of the Divine Kingdom's residents so that they could provide a source of strength for the player ruling that Divine Kingdom.

So Gu Nan currently needed to manage this world ahead of time and raise high-level cultivators.

Of course, there would be matters both large and small that would need to be handled if he wanted to manage and operate the Divine Kingdom. It was certainly impossible for Gu Nan to handle everything himself. He needed an assistant or even a group of assistants to aid him.

"So…" He turned to look at Yan Xiaoxiao. "Would you like to become this world's administrator?"

...

Red Tail looked surprised when Lan Si appeared in front of her on Heaven and Earth Star.

"You returned so quickly. Did Lord settle all the matters in Immortal Demon World? We can no longer contact that side."

Lan Si shook her head slightly. She'd just been randomly kicked out of the reincarnation process. Even now, she still didn't understand what had happened.

Now, however, her brain seemed to be a little easier to use, and she heard some other meaning from Red Tail's words. She looked up and asked, "Did something happen here?"

Red Tail was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly. "Nothing has happened yet, but I'm afraid it won't be quiet for long."

While saying so, she picked up an odd-looking letter paper from the side and handed it to Lan Si, with the large words "Starry Ocean Pavilion" written on the cover.

"This…" Lan Si looked up in astonishment. She was no longer the ignorant girl from back then and knew all too well what these three words meant.

"Starry Ocean Pavilion and the federation issued a joint order requiring all Prodigious Realm cultivators to travel to the Central Region for certification, and 'cultivating without a license' will be prohibited in Star Realm in the future." Red Tail's expression looked very helpless.

Lan Si had never been to the Central Region before, so she felt incredulous about such an overbearing order.

"Who knows just how many Prodigious cultivators there are in the other eight regions—yet they actually dare to do this?" Her voice rose slightly. "Will anyone really listen to them?"

"Based on their habits, they'll send an inspection team to each region." Red Tail clearly knew Starry Ocean Pavilion's style. "At least two Void Cutter experts will be leading each team."

...

In Immortal Demon World, Gu Nan looked at this broken world and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

"The world's origin sealed itself, so contact with the outside world has also been temporarily cut off."

In today's Immortal Demon World, Void Cutter cultivators could still forcibly enter from the outside, but it was impossible for those below Void Cutter Realm to enter—after all, this world no longer accepted reincarnators.

Not even Gu Nan himself could conveniently leave Immortal Demon World before he had a tentative grasp over the world's origin, nor was he interested in other matters for the time being.

The only thing he truly cared about on Heaven and Earth Sar was the steady stream of Evil Value from Lan Si.

Under his arrangement, Yan Xiaoxiao had gone to clean up the aftermath, and the civilization on Immortal Demon World would soon usher in a worldwide peak and revolution.

It would be a completely alien and incomprehensible social system belonging solely to players.

"Start the reconstruction of the Divine Kingdom first, wait until everything is on the right track and the world's origin can be preliminarily controlled, then consider matters over there."

Gu Nan made a decision quickly, but before that, he had something else to do.

His consciousness rapidly sank into the Evil God Temple, and Gu Nan called up his own game panel—since Evil Value exceeded 1,000, he could already build his second exclusive law now!
