The overwhelming holy light fell down instantly, shrouding the entire battlefield.
Qin Guanruo frowned slightly. He'd witnessed Austin's terrifying might before, and his own laws were vaguely suppressed by the holy light, so it was hard for him to stay here any longer.
Thus, Qin Guanruo did not choose to remain and also hid quickly, but he did not leave immediately, instead observing the situation from afar.
In any case, Gu Nan was still a member of the Myriad Heavens, and Qin Guanruo could not just sit back and watch him be killed.
However, to his surprise, Gu Nan seemed completely unaffected by the all-consuming holy light that was difficult to resist in Qin Guanruo's eyes. He took a shower in the holy light, then leisurely turned and left.
"He ran away?" Daphne couldn't help asking in shock when Gu Nan's energy signature completely disappeared.
She clearly wasn't very familiar with the characteristics of Gu Nan's law of shadows. In fact, after reaching Tier 12, his law evolved to make it harder for Gu Nan to be found, which was why he dared to act like this.
"It's shadows," Austin answered in a heavy voice.
In the past, Gu Nan's level was too low, so his enemies tended to focus on his Evil God physique while overlooking the special nature of his law of shadows. Now, someone finally realized it.
Light and shadow were two sides of the same coin to begin with. Even his younger sister wielded the law of shadows, so Austin understood the special nature of shadows very well.
This was not a law that specialized in attack, but its concealment and stealth abilities were far superior to that of other laws.
Before Austin could say anything else, his figure disappeared again—because Gu Nan had already gone ahead to his next target.
Eugene again!
In the rear, Eugene, who let out a small sigh of relief because Gu Nan had just been driven away, finally found himself faced with Gu Nan's full power.
This time, Gu Nan didn't greet Boswell, throwing a punch with all his strength as soon as he appeared!
The Ruler of Ashen Cyan reacted extremely quickly as his power instantly enveloped Eugene's body, trying to prevent Eugene from being killed in one punch, but the target of Gu Nan's attack suddenly shifted to himself midway through.
Boswell was thrown into the air. Fortunately, he wasn't completely without the protection of his laws, so he wasn't killed in one blow either.
Holy light burst forth again. Austin's expression was already a little frigid. He moved extremely fast this time, and the holy sword seemed to have grown eyes of its own, landing in advance at Gu Nan's destination.
But Gu Nan made no attempt to dodge and allowed the sword to strike him. Most of his body was destroyed in an instant. Countless holy flames invaded his body and seemed to completely burn away his internal organs.
But Gu Nan just laughed and vanished again, using the law of shadows to its fullest.
The Evil God physique had recovered in the blink of an eye. Austin's gaze turned slightly icy, and he rushed to Daphne's side in advance without waiting for Gu Nan to move.
But this time, Gu Nan set his sight on someone else—Rolensia!
Rolensia and Daphne could be regarded as the two weakest points among the current greater gods, so Gu Nan's choice didn't make Austin suspicious. However, his response was slightly slower this time.
Because he knew that others would help Rolensia this time.
A punch smashed down on Rolensia's head, but at the same time, a scythe appeared, blocking the path of Gu Nan's punch and rendering it useless.
Ever since Gu Nan completed the Second Round, this was the first time someone successfully used the power of laws to forcibly block his fist.
"Evil God." A grayed-haired young man wearing a gray cloak slowly walked out from beside Rolensia and stared at Gu Nan with cold eyes.
Baal, the God of Death.
The God of Death was also a position that had gone through several successors. Like the God of Knowledge, almost every generation was stronger than the previous one.
Because the more lives that died in this world, the stronger the power of death would become. This was true from generation to generation.
Faced with the Death God's sudden appearance, Gu Nan just curled his lips into a mocking smile. He also had no intention of staying for long and disappeared again under the fluctuation of the law of shadows.
No one could catch him—holder of the law of shadows—and no one could instakill his Evil God physique, which meant Gu Nan could wander alone behind enemy lines without fear.
'But while there are only four people in the Light Faction now, there are eight in the Dark Faction. Can you guys protect them all?'
Gu Nan's figure blurred, lurking in the shadows once more. When he looked back at the frontline battlefield again, he felt like laughing.
He suddenly discovered that all the Dark Faction's greater gods would always be in groups whenever they appeared on the battlefield, and there were only two groups max at a time.
It was evident that everyone in the Dark Faction had also witnessed his earlier back and forth with the Light Faction, which gave them time to prepare countermeasures.
Gathering into two groups did not mean the two Dark Faction leaders could each protect one group—rather, it made it easier for the Dark Lady and the God of Death to keep track of them so that they could rush to their side as soon as possible.
"How interesting." Gu Nan smiled, then returned to the Myriad Heavens.
By keeping them in check like this, not many from the World of Gods dared to show themselves, and at the same time, it disrupted the greater gods' focus, so he pretty much achieved his goal.
...
Zi Luo Heaven.
"You succeeded? You actually succeeded?" Qi Zhi widened her eyes, pretending to be surprised as she stared at Dong Xun.
Dong Xun seemed to enjoy Qi Zhi's surprise. He, who had always been gentle, now looked immensely proud of himself.
Of course, in reality, Qi Zhi knew all too well that Dong Xun would definitely succeed. That mysterious organization put so much effort into guiding Dong Xun to join the Heaven-God Alliance, so how could they let him fail?
But Qi Zhi's face gave nothing away, and she continued to show a surprised expression, probing for the mysterious organization's next goal.
"Now that you've joined the Heaven-God Alliance, does the organization have any missions for you?" Qi Zhi asked.
"There is one." Dong Xun nodded and said with a slight frown, "It turns out that the Heaven-God Alliance is a joint alliance of the two worlds. The first mission wants me to head to the World of Gods."
"World of Gods?" Qi Zhi looked confused. She wasn't pretending this time; she really was confused.
The two worlds' overall situation was actually quite vague for ordinary Void Cutters.
Even Dong Xun himself just learned "so the world was actually like this" after he joined the Heaven-God Alliance, and the first mission the organization assigned him was to head there to kill a target.
After listening to Dong Xun's explanation and learning what kind of existence the World of Gods was, Qi Zhi couldn't help offering, "That must be very far… How about I go with you?"
"Really?!" Dong Xun suddenly looked pleasantly surprised. He really wanted Qi Zhi to go with him, but he didn't know how to bring it up.
"Really." Qi Zhi nodded vigorously without any hesitation. Because just now, a mysterious voice rang in her ears.
"If you go with him, you can get double your previous reward."
But what Qi Zhi didn't know was that at this time, a will was slowly awakening inside Dong Xun's mind.
