Chapter 520: King Of The World

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"Yes, King." Zero's voice echoed in agreement, "You can do anything you wish, as long as the other party is still inside the world."

"King of the World?" Gu Nan thought for a moment, then pointed at Li Ci. "Zero, help me kick this annoying fellow out first."

Zero suddenly fell silent, as if she had never received such an order before.

Li Ci experienced Gu Nan's trolling tendencies for the first time and couldn't help laughing in spite of himself. "You needn’t bother; I was just about to leave. Daoist Friend Gu, let’s meet again if fate allows."

After saying this, Li Ci had no intention of dallying and quickly disappeared.

It wasn't until he disappeared that Zero's voice sounded weakly, "King, his power cannot be controlled by the world…"

"I know." Gu Nan waved his hand. If this bullshit King of the World really could control Unified Dao powers, then that would truly be absurd.

In reality, let alone Unified Dao, the Inner World would have very weak control over any astral worlds ruled by even normal Star Rulers.

The Inner World reflects all the planes that exist in reality. Including the current Sixteen Heavens, no plane could escape, including Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom.

But this didn’t mean the Inner World had any control over these astral worlds.

As long as it was an astral world already under a Star Ruler’s rule, the world itself would be controlled by that Star Ruler first and foremost and indirectly affected by the Inner World second.

Of course, except for bored people like Gu Nan, no Unified Dao powerhouse would try to influence other planes through the Inner World.

If they truly wanted to affect something, they could simply issue an order.

The Inner World must be overseen by a Unified Dao existence because it needed the support of Unified Dao Realm laws to maintain its normal operations.

For the Unified Dao figures, this was a completely useless existence, with almost no meaning to its existence besides giving some pleasure over "controlling the world".

Based on the agreement among Unified Dao cultivators, every person's shift was one thousand years, so any pleasure would be eventually worn down… No wonder Li Ci fled like he was running away and didn’t want to stay any longer.

"Is there anything else you need me to do?" Gu Nan studied the Inner World and asked again.

"Nothing else… If something unexpected happens, I will contact you as soon as possible," Zero's voice sounded a little weak, as if she was afraid that Gu Nan would give some strange orders again.

Normally, Gu Nan will return home after his curiosity gradually fades, and then it will be hundreds of years before an unexpected situation occurs.

The so-called unexpected situations were mostly just a sudden collapse of a certain plane, affecting nearby planes, or a certain plane suddenly experiencing a leap and requiring Gu Nan to provide power to help stabilize it…

All these trivial, boring tasks were the daily life of the so-called King of the World.

However, Gu Nan didn’t leave quickly, because he realized that being the King of the World was quite interesting.

"King of the World or whatever, it suits me quite well!" Gu Nan nodded and turned his attention to a certain plane—Ghost Sea World.

……

Ghost Sea World.

Vivian carried Adam, who was covered in blood, on her back and hurriedly ran through the dense forest. At the same time, she had to avoid the arrows shot from behind, which was extremely difficult.

After a while, the pursuers were still closing in on them. Vivian knew it was impossible for her to escape, so she simply let Adam down from her back.

"Adam, leave quickly! I'll stop them!" Vivian gritted her teeth and said with extreme regret.

If she hadn't stubbornly insisted on coming along, everyone else wouldn't have bungled the mission to this extent just to protect her.

Now, the whereabouts of Sister Nancy and Jonathan were unknown, and Adam was poisoned by the enemy while helping her escape… ‘It's time for me to stand up!’

However, the next second, she was sent flying by a strong force that flung her away from behind.

Adam had managed to stand up at some point and said with a grin, "Even if I’m crippled, I still won’t need a little girl like you to protect me! Leave now and tell Nancy…"

Vivian's whole body spun in midair until she crashed into the ground. She could no longer catch what Adam wanted to tell Nancy at the end, but tears kept flowing down her face.

She hated her lack of power so much, just like she had when she watched her brother die.

She thought everything was getting back on track, and she told herself that what transpired back then would never happen again, but she didn't expect to experience it again just a few months later.

But Vivian was very strong. Even if her body felt like it was falling apart, she still forced herself to stand up, wiping the tears from her face and quickly moving forward.

The mission must be completed. If it couldn’t be completed, there was only death. This was the rule of the Greater God Dimension… She must find Sister Nancy and Jonathan. She didn’t want to die, let alone let Adam’s death be in vain!

……

But just as Vivian was bravely moving forward, Red Tail was flying into a terrible rage in White Mist.

"What in the world is going on? Why is this kind of mission evaluated as three stars?" Red Tail slammed down a stack of mission reports and asked with an annoyed expression.

According to their plan, Vivian's mission should be successfully completed after a battle of wits and courage.

Only at the last minute would White Mist arrange for the group to be split into two. Vivian's mistake would cause Adam's death, and he would tell Vivian his story before dying.

It would certainly be a story regarding gods, betrayal, and falling.

"My Lord, it was our mistake this time…" The young man in white work clothes was constantly wiping cold sweat from his face. He didn't expect to encounter such a serious problem on the rare occasion Red Tail actually visited in person.

This completely disrupted the training plan of Subject No. 29.

Red Tail’s anger still didn’t dissipate, and she asked, "Where is Adam?"

Just as she finished, a blue-haired young man hurried in from outside with an angry look on his face. "What the hell were you guys doing? This mission is definitely not three stars. It’s at least… Ah, Lord Red Tail!”

Adam was complaining about the intelligence officer’s mistakes when he accidentally saw Red Tail’s figure and quickly saluted.

Red Tail waved her hand and asked directly, "You’ve fought against the hostile forces. What’s your impression?"

"The information on the hostile floating island is correct, but it’s a confrontation mission this time!" Adam said without hesitation, "What the hell was the reincarnation department doing? How could they mix a confrontation mission into the Blasphemer Project?!"

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly realized.

If it was a confrontation mission, the opponents would be genuine reincarnators from the Myriad Heavens, and the mission difficulty would suddenly increase by more than half a star. No wonder Adam’s team had no way to fight back.

After all, the people in the team had to play the role of residents from the World of Gods and could only use abilities obtained from the Greater God Dimension. How could they compare to the enemy reincarnators?

Red Tail didn't have time to investigate what led to the mistake. She said coldly, "How do you plan to resolve this matter?"

Adam exchanged a glance with the young man in work clothes, and the latter responded, "In my opinion, we can only use outside help right now… such as arranging for Nancy to suddenly break through?"

"You might as well hope that meteorites will fall from the sky and kill all the enemies." Adam curled his lips.

Vivian was not a fool. How could she be unable to tell whether Nancy had actually broken through or not?

However, a person next to them suddenly shouted, "Everyone… Everyone, look!"

This person pointed to the screen on the side, which was exactly where the two floating islands were fighting. Meteorites were constantly falling from the sky, and bizarrely enough, they all smashed into the enemy side.

In less than a minute, Heavenly City Floating Island had achieved an overwhelming victory, and Vivian and her team’s mission was declared complete.

Everyone in White Mist was stunned, all staring at Adam with strange expressions. Even Adam himself was flabbergasted, wondering if he had any strange ability to turn speech into reality.

"Don't look at me like this. Actually, I… Hey, these meteorites seem to be writing out some words?" Adam seemed to have suddenly discovered something and said quickly.

Everyone turned and saw that the meteorites had indeed smashed out four giant words: King of the World.
