Under normal circumstances, Gu Nan had no interest in entering the Holy Light Divine Kingdom.
This was Austin's headquarters. Not only was it filled with the ultimate law of holy light, it was also easy to draw out Austin himself.
For example, Gu Nan entered the Holy Light Divine Kingdom last time precisely to attract Austin's attention and have him leave a mark on Gu Nan so that he could be led to God Emperor Heaven.
And this time, he also had a special purpose. This purpose was Sylvia.
Ever since the Great War between the two worlds broke out, Sylvia's older brother had kept her inside his Divine Kingdom to prevent her from being kidnapped as a hostage.
After all, the Holy Light Divine Kingdom was the safest place compared to any other place.
It was a pity that at this most critical moment, even if Austin sensed the abnormalities inside his Divine Kingdom, it was already too late for him to come back and rescue Sylvia.
Setting aside the fact that Jiu Po and Emperor Zhao wouldn't let him leave so easily, even if he could leave, all his previous efforts in the invasion of God Emperor Heaven would be in vain.
Thus, in the instant Austin hesitated, Sylvia was already kidnapped by Gu Nan.
...
Myriad Heavens.
Austin sensed what happened inside his Divine Kingdom, and his expression suddenly turned frigid. But he also knew that it was too late to return now.
As a result, his purification of God Emperor Heaven suddenly turned much more violent, confusing even Daisy and Baal.
'Does Austin hold some sort of personal grudge against Emperor Zhao?'
On the other side, Sylvia was caught completely off-guard and taken away by Gu Nan. She was currently glaring at Gu Nan fiercely.
"Evil God, kill me!" Sylvia shouted, "Don't delude yourself into thinking I'll tell you anything, let alone thinking that you can threaten my brother this way!"
Sylvia didn't even need to think about why Gu Nan kidnapped her. Of course it was to threaten her brother.
However, she guessed wrong. What Gu Nan wanted did not require her cooperation. All he needed was… her divine blood.
...
Sylvia's laws were completely sealed. She felt her vision blur slightly, having already been brought to a tattered Divine Kingdom by Gu Nan when her eyes cleared up.
If not for the fact that there were still some traces of the main temple left and that Sylvia had also been to the Beast God's Divine Kingdom before, she wouldn't even believe this was once the Divine Kingdom of a greater god.
"Beast God…" Sylvia murmured.
The next second, she felt a stinging pain on her wrist. A shadow blade had already cut open a gash, allowing divine blood to freely flow out.
"You—" Sylvia had just opened her mouth when Gu Nan silenced her voice, preventing her from saying another word.
Gods' divine bodies were closely related to their divine authorities, and the blood of gods was even more precious than the blood of dragons. One could even consider the blood of the gods to have strong properties of laws.
Sylvia's divine blood was absorbed by Gu Nan, quickly creating the ultimate shadows that started drawing out a strange line in the void, starting from the Beast God's painting in the main temple.
Sylvia's eyes couldn't help widening when she saw this line. After all, this was something that came from her body, and she could vaguely feel what the end of the line was pointing to.
That was the location of Bridges—Beast God Bridges.
'Why does my blood… have such power?' Sylvia felt very incredulous. Not only was she confused about the phenomenon itself, but she also didn't know why Gu Nan would know something like this.
Of course she couldn't voice her questions, but Gu Nan seemed to understand and explained with a faint smile, "Austin is already the embodiment of laws. You, who are connected to him by blood, naturally also possess this characteristic."
In the World of Gods' world setting, bloodline was an extremely intimate connection.
When a god ascended to a new realm, all of that god's relatives and children would also receive a certain strengthening. It wasn't entirely a coincidence that the children of gods were often more talented than ordinary people.
However, this improvement was so subtle that in many cases, not even the relatives themselves could feel it. Of course Sylvia also knew this, but it was even more rare for a god to become more powerful because their blood relative ascended.
Because of Austin, Sylvia also possesses characteristics of laws. To a certain extent, her blood represents shadow itself.
And it was common sense that laws related to shadows had tracking abilities.
Gu Nan wasn't at Tier 15 yet and his laws had yet to reach their peak, so he could only borrow Sylvia's power for the time being.
...
Bridges was currently hiding in a small plane, gnashing his teeth as he stared at his wrecked Divine Kingdom while trying his best to hide himself. He only hoped that once they won the Great War, they would be able to use their full power to encircle and annihilate this damned Evil God.
So when the strange black thread slowly stopped in front of him, Bridges hadn't even registered what was happening yet.
Then he felt a sudden pain in the back of his head. Gu Nan had already appeared by his side at some point and thrown a direct punch.
Bridges didn't even have time to react to this completely unexpected sneak attack. His divine body was instantly blasted apart, leaving not even a fragment behind.
The terrifying explosive power of the Evil God physique was brought out to its fullest in this sneak attack, felling a greater god in an instant.
Gu Nan harvested Evil Value again, then immediately headed to the next Divine Kingdom. This time, his target was Demon King Stanley.
...
"Bridges is dead," Austin spoke up again in an unusually subdued voice.
Although they already had countermeasures prepared, Gu Nan still managed to kill a greater god. This development already exceeded his expectations.
Though it was quite cost-effective to take the lives of Unified Dao enemies in exchange for greater gods' Divine Kingdoms by taking advantage of the other side's lack of unity, exchanging the lives of greater gods for the enemies' lives was not quite worth it.
But now that things were already like this, retreat was no longer an option for Austin and his group. It was impossible to stop halfway now.
Dark Lady Daisy said with a dark expression, "We can only rely on them to stall for time while we speed up our progress."
Baal did not speak, but he proved his attitude with his actions. Death energy began to spread crazily in God Emperor Heaven as Baal completely ignored his own energy consumption.
Lu Wen was still standing in the air, using the laws of time and space to hold back the movements of Austin's group.
But such a surprise attack could only work once in a fight at this level. After the first wave of time and space laws were destroyed, it would be difficult for him to set another trap like this.
The pressure on Jiu Po and Emperor Zhao intensified with every passing second. Even with Lu Wen's help, it only delayed the destruction of God Emperor Heaven.
It was already unexpected that someone could intervene in a fight at this level. It would be too unreasonable to expect Lu Wen to be able to turn the tides.
"Give up." Jiu Po sighed and tried to convince Emperor Zhao, "An astral world can still be rebuilt after it's destroyed."
Austin could understand this, so Unified Dao powerhouses could naturally understand it as well.
Unfortunately, although the greater gods could make such a decision, Emperor Zhao could not. The reason was very simple. God Emperor Heaven had been passed down through inheritance for endless years before it was finally passed into his hands.
If it was destroyed by the greater gods like this, how would he be able to face his predecessors?
