Austin was known as the "Ruler of Light and Justice". The power he usually revealed to the outside world was holy light; he rarely used the power of "justice".
On one hand, there was no need to, and on the other hand, he was trying to hide "justice" as much as possible to prevent others from learning about his trump card.
Even if Gu Nan was the reincarnation of the Evil God from ancient times and knew some of the World of Gods' secrets, how could he be so familiar with the law of "justice"?
Even in the vast history of the World of Gods, there had never been another "God of Justice". It could be said to be a law unique to Austin.
But now was not the time to think about this. The Evil God's power already exceeded everyone's imaginations; the opponent must be eliminated in this battle.
The golden scale was temporarily withdrawn, replaced again by a holy sword. At the same time, Daisy also attacked.
Darkness and shadow intertwined as they mixed together in the void, becoming indistinguishable from each other. But the confrontation of laws was very distinct, creating a stark contrast.
The holy sword slashed down, directly cutting the two apart and accurately slicing through Gu Nan's shadows.
The law of shadows swayed slightly and spread out like ripples. Not only did it avoid the holy sword's blow, it also separated itself from the darkness in passing.
Gu Nan's figure instantly appeared to the side soundlessly. The whole process gave no indication of his presence. His control over laws had reached an unbelievable level.
Daisy couldn't help exchanging glances with Austin. She was starting to believe the Evil God reincarnation theory more and more. Otherwise, she couldn't explain why the other party could manipulate laws so skillfully.
Gu Nan just smiled, having already begun retreating.
He'd already gotten what he wanted from this battle. The four remaining top-tier greater gods were not easy to kill, so it was better to head back and prepare first.
More importantly, Gu Nan, who was already Tier 14, possessed enough power to conquer the whole world and force everyone to act according to his will.
Now that the danger of dying had greatly lessened, what Gu Nan was most interested in was the mystery of the Origin World.
He really wanted to see if he could forcibly break through the dimensional wall between the Origin World and the outside world with his current strength.
However, just when Gu Nan tried to retreat, a death scythe suddenly slashed down on the back of his head, the violent death energy trying to knock him over.
"Courting death," Gu Nan sneered and turned around without hesitation, directly tanking the scythe with his face.
Baal had just reconstructed his body and arrived, but he didn't expect Gu Nan to respond like this. He had no time to change his attack.
Gu Nan allowed the scythe to hit the side of his face but suddenly stretched out his right hand and pressed it on Baal's head, tearing off this Death God's head.
It had been a long time since he last saw an enemy who ran here just to engage in close quarters combat with Gu Nan; Baal was the first one in a while.
His goal might have been to delay Gu Nan and use his own sacrifice to create opportunities for Austin and Daisy to strike.
Unfortunately, he couldn't have imagined that these two would similarly have no opportunities in front of Gu Nan.
It was exceedingly difficult for opponents at the same level to find each other. Gu Nan was able to search for the greater gods earlier only because he destroyed their Divine Kingdoms and used this to trace their paths.
Gu Nan disposed of Baal with one slap and—without giving Austin and Daisy a chance to react—left the World of Gods in the blink of an eye.
With his current strength, no one could stop him from leaving. The reason he stayed until now was just to display his strength so that these greater gods wouldn't run over and annoy him later.
...
Myriad Heavens.
Gu Nan had no intention of hiding his return this time, and almost all the Unified Dao cultivators received the news immediately.
The Unified Dao meeting started again.
Compared with the bleak atmosphere of the World of Gods, things were much better in the Myriad Heavens.
Except for Qin Guanruo, who was the first to die, and Emperor Zhao, who refused to retreat, the other Unified Dao powers at least managed to save their own lives and did not die at the greater gods' hands.
However, the losses were still heavy. Only three of the grand Sixteen Heavens remained; the rest needed to be rebuilt.
"Both sides suffered this time." After everyone arrived, Yu Lian was the first to speak, "Judging from the current situation, we should focus on defense. Time is on our side."
It wasn't hard to understand what she meant. After all, most of the Unified Dao cultivators were still alive. It was much easier to rebuild astral worlds than for new greater gods to ascend.
When the Unified Dao cultivators whose astral worlds were destroyed in this battle managed to recover even a small amount of their combat effectiveness, it would be enough for them to rejoin the war.
"I'm afraid the other side won't give us this chance," Dream Immortal said coldly from the side.
She was probably the one who suffered the most among the surviving Unified Dao members. She'd just been resurrected and first exhausted too much power to ambush Gu Nan, then was injured on the battlefield, and finally had her astral world destroyed.
But what Dream Immortal said was true. As long as Austin and the others weren't stupid, they would never relax their offensive. After all, their side was still stronger on paper.
Zou Jiming said with a smile, "I heard that in the last battle, Gu Nan, you fought three greater gods alone and even injured Baal?"
All the Unified Dao cultivators saw the fight between Gu Nan and Austin's group.
Yu Lian also added, "With Gu Nan here, we will have countermeasures if the greater gods come over."
Not counting Gu Nan, their high-end combat power was currently in a four versus two situation, and the Myriad Heavens side basically had no chance of winning.
But Gu Nan just glanced at Yu Lian. "I won't be here for a while."
He came back just to consolidate his realm. Once his Tier 14 laws and body were completely stable, the Origin World would be his next goal.
The scene suddenly turned a little cold. Song Fei coughed lightly. "Gu Nan, you are also a member of the Myriad Heavens. Besides, the cause of this war was because you teamed up to kill Valen—"
"Are you going to look for the Origin World?" Lu Wen suddenly interrupted Song Fei as he looked at Gu Nan.
He had no intention of hiding it from those present and directly revealed the phrase "Origin World".
At this stage, Gu Nan didn't care if anyone knew where the Origin World was and nodded.
Lu Wen frowned slightly but said nothing, lowering his head in thought. Jiu Po just stood above and watched everything calmly.
The rest of the group don't know what the Origin World was, but now was not the time to worry about that.
"Amitabha." Monk Fa Kong clasped his hands together. "If the gods invade, all living beings in the Myriad Heavens will be devastated. Benefactor Gu Nan, please stay for a while."
Zi Luo Elder also tried to persuade him, "If it's not an emergency, it's better to wait until the war has truly settled down before leaving."
Dream Immortal even stepped in front of Gu Nan. "The greater gods' invasion is partly because of you, right? If we are defeated, you will also not have a good ending!"
No one had ever forgotten Gu Nan's identity as the gods' public enemy.
However, Gu Nan just glanced at the three who spoke, then walked out unhurriedly. His actions would never be affected by others' wills.
Dream Immortal glared at his back with cold eyes. "Gu Nan, you are already an enemy of the greater gods. Do you want to become our enemy too?"
Gu Nan thought for a moment after hearing this, then turned around. Countless shadow tentacles suddenly stretched out and grabbed Dream Immortal, pulling her before him.
The suppression from the Tier 14 law of shadows made Dream Immortal, who lost her astral world, completely unable to resist.
Then he stretched out a hand, casually snapped Dream Immortal's neck, and looked at the corpse on the ground strangely.
"A weakling like you?"
