Today's Gu Nan was no longer the "young and inexperienced boy" who'd just transmigrated into this world and didn't even know what reincarnation was.
After continuous research helped by White Mist's database, reincarnation didn't have many secrets left in his eyes.
In essence, it was nothing more than a special method that transported someone's soul to another plane. It was more like an alternative traveling method for cultivators who couldn't yet tear apart the void.
However, when Gu Nan personally tore through the void and entered Immortal Demon World, his thoughts became somewhat different.
"This world is rejecting me?" Gu Nan left the endless void and slowly entered Immortal Demon World. He felt a clear sense of rejection from the world itself.
This kind of feeling had never appeared when he was at a lower level, or it might not have been as obvious before, but it could clearly be felt now.
Some kind of power was trying to push Gu Nan out of this world, and the longer he stayed here, the stronger this power became.
"I can stay for about three days; that's more than enough." Gu Nan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly as he estimated the amount of time he could stay in Immortal Demon World.
He didn't intend to interfere in the state of affairs here; he just wanted to observe this plane's strange world origin.
Gu Nan quietly sat in a corner of Immortal Demon World. All the troubles in the world seemed to have nothing to do with him. His spirit slowly rose and he studied this world coldly.
Not long after he sat down, a wisp of soul slowly approached from the endless void, coming in this direction.
This was a reincarnator from another location, and their target was precisely Immortal Demon World.
The endless void—according to the Star Rulers, it should be called the Myriad Heavens Starry Road. There were large and small balls of light everywhere, representing the existence of planes.
And people's souls were tiny dots of light, which suddenly disappeared into the balls of light.
Gu Nan saw it clearly. As the bright dot entered Immortal Demon World, an inexplicable force emerged from the depths of the world and enveloped the reincarnator's soul.
After that, the two sides started to exchange energy, as Gu Nan had seen before.
Half of the reincarnator's soul was stored in the world to ensure that the reincarnator's soul wouldn't truly die even if their physical body inside this world died, but the price was that they could no longer re-enter this world once they died.
"What exactly is the principle behind this strange setting?" Gu Nan's brows furrowed slightly, and the power of shadows began to course, gradually moving towards that cocoon.
The current him had already stepped into Tier 4, becoming a lifeform completely different from mortals, so his power of laws was very close to the power of genuine laws.
The shadows spread quietly, silently approaching that reincarnator's soul, then suddenly pounced.
The next instant, the repulsive force acting on Gu Nan suddenly became stronger. Before he could even see the results, he had already been pushed out of Immortal Demon World.
...
Somewhere in the Gu family on Ruby Fish Star, Bai Luoluo was suddenly startled awake in the middle of a reincarnation, then looked around in disbelief.
"Weird, why am I still here?" Bai Luoluo was a little confused. Even after such a long time, she was still the little girl who was slightly muddleheaded.
She remembered that she was reincarnating into Immortal Demon World, but for some reason, she came back here.
'Is it even possible for reincarnation to fail?'
...
After being expelled by Immortal Demon World's origin, Gu Nan didn't stay around. Rather, he immediately returned to Heaven and Earth Star with an odd smile on his face.
Although it was just a glimpse, it was enough for Gu Nan to understand many things.
That familiar figure that clearly came from Ruby Fish Star, as well as the fascinating method where the world's origin and the reincarnator's soul made an exchange… 'Well, the latter still requires more observation.'
"If only I could learn this method." Gu Nan couldn't help sighing regretfully.
If he could use his own laws to exchange for other people's souls, this would be the most perfect method of building an organization.
Gu Nan had never considered managing his own organization before White Mist came along. The core reason was that firstly, there was no demand for it, and secondly, he didn't trust anyone.
But after understanding the world mission translation method, Gu Nan needed the existence of White Mist to collect children of destiny for him as materials in creating mist mirrors.
This was the demand.
And if he could learn from the strange settings of Immortal Demon World and find a way to exchange for a portion of someone's soul, then he could give his subordinates more trust.
But Immortal Demon World's origin was clearly very dissatisfied with Gu Nan's peeping, so this matter couldn't be rushed for the time being.
'Experiment and observation—there must be a two-pronged approach.' Gu Nan thought as he picked up a pen with his right hand, theatrically writing a title on the paper.
[Immortal Demon World Takeover Plan]
After writing the title, he thought for a long time and finally wrote only one line under the title: [Kill the disobedient ones.]
...
For the time being, Red Tail hadn't yet received this "takeover plan" with only one line of content, but she knew Gu Nan's attitude very well and was always carrying out his plans consistently.
In the span of a few days, three more Dao Halls on Heaven and Earth Star's planetary ring had been razed to the ground, all thanks to Red Tail.
The prestige established by the Dao Lords for hundreds of thousands of years seemed like a joke in front of the pitch-black dagger.
"Have the Dao Lords all gathered here?" Red Tail asked indifferently as she sat in a quiet room, sipping green tea.
"All the Dao Halls on the planetary ring have already paid us a visit. A total of 63 Dao Lords personally visited, and another 15 sent representatives," Lin Yunyun immediately reported.
Red Tail seemed to be developing Lin Yunyun's ability to handle affairs and even allowed her to deal with important matters related to the Dao Lords.
If Gu Nan wanted to unify Heaven and Earth Star, the most important step was to control the Dao Lords. If he ruled the planet using these regional bosses, then the entire process would be much more peaceful and convenient.
Even better, most of the Dao Lords had Dao Halls on the planetary ring. As for the Dao Lords hiding on the continent, there was no need to pay attention to them.
'Since they want to be hermits, they can be that for the rest of their lives. I've never counted on them to be influential anyways.'
Red Tail sneered, "Go tell them that the Lord will grace us with his presence in three days. Drive away all 15 of those representatives and have them inform their superiors that if those 15 Dao Lords arrive later than My Lord, they can get ready to collect corpses at their Dao Halls."
"I understand." Lin Yunyun had long gotten accustomed to Red Tail's iron-fisted style. She quickly saluted and stepped down, her actions so capable and experienced that she didn't even resemble her past self from a few days ago.
Looking at the girl's back as she left, Red Tail's eyes finally softened, but then it was filled with lust for power.
When Gu Nan was advancing to Tier 4 earlier, she thought her clever plan had backfired.
She finally had the Sand King killed after much difficulty, but the result was a new boss against whom resistance was even more futile.
But Gu Nan's absolute delegation of power to her made her heart feel at ease again. 'This one is a genuine bigshot; he doesn't have the leisure time to fight with me over status and authority.'
As long as she could handle all the matters he ordered, then he didn't mind giving her exclusive authority and would even provide her with military force.
This was more like a kind of cooperation.
'Isn't this precisely what I'm seeking, so much so that I ran here from the Central Region with much difficulty?'
Red Tail raised her head and looked at the distant night sky. 'Perhaps I can go back to that place one day. If there truly is such a day…'
A cruel smile suddenly appeared on her calm face.
