Gu Nan didn't feel much different when world origin No. 059812 entered his body, and his Evil Value also didn't change at all.
But strangely enough, the Evil God Temple connected to Gu Nan's soul starting to shine brightly due to the injection of origin.
Inside his Divine Kingdom, the Evil God Temple had always sat quietly in the center, unaffected by anything.
However, on this day, everyone in the Divine Kingdom could see an astonishing brilliance suddenly explode from the Evil God Temple's location, dyeing the Divine Kingdom's sky a deep blue.
The people who were originally inside the Evil God Temple were directly thrown out by a mysterious force, while the Evil God Temple itself began to shrink rapidly.
In just a minute, the Evil God Temple shrank to a very small state, then left the Divine Kingdom directly and fled towards the void.
"This is…" Red Tail happened to be inside the Divine Kingdom and couldn't help feeling dumbfounded when she saw this.
"I already notified Teacher," Yan Xiaoxiao's voice popped up beside her as her figure also appeared.
Red Tail couldn't help sighing in relief. She knew what kind of existence Yan Xiaoxiao was. Since she was fine, the Divine Kingdom itself shouldn't be greatly affected.
"Has His Lordship responded?" Red Tail asked again.
Yan Xiaoxiao wordlessly shook her head, but there was some inexplicable worry in her eyes. The disappearance of the Evil God Temple made her feel as if something had severed part of the connection between Gu Nan and the Divine Kingdom.
Although the connection between the two was still there, it was no longer as inseparable as before.
...
Gu Nan stood in the lab, staring at the scene before him with an odd expression.
With Gu Nan's power, of course there wouldn't be a limit to the infusion speed, and he was even the one controlling the rate of injection; the equipment only provided him with the origin.
However, while he discovered that his brain was also stimulated when the origin entered his body, the Evil Value panel did not change. Instead, the Evil God Temple mysteriously left the Divine Kingdom and came to a stop in front of him.
At this time, the Evil God Temple appeared small and exquisite. Unlike the behemoth structure that covered thousands of miles in the Divine Kingdom, it was as small as a model and could be held with one hand.
But Gu Nan could see that it was still fully equipped with everything that should be found in the Evil God Temple.
This scene wasn't actually unfamiliar to Gu Nan. He'd seen it while playing the game in his previous life.
Once the player reaches the Third Round, the Evil God Temple will leave the Divine Kingdom and come to the player's side, then completely shatter and become the sacrifice for the player's advancement to the Third Round.
That scene felt like an evil ritual and seemed to symbolize the player breaking away from the Evil God Temple to become a completely independent existence.
Many players who passed the Third Round regarded this scene as a design choice to sublimate the theme of the game, but now, Gu Nan certainly knew that there must be a special meaning behind it.
The current situation was even stranger because Gu Nan hadn't actually reached Tier 15—the critical point before the Third Round—yet, but the Evil God Temple had already appeared in advance.
In addition, although the scene before him was similar to the Third Round, the difference was that all the stats in the Evil God Temple were shooting up crazily, and the Evil Value was also completely overflowing.
The specific world origin did have an effect on Gu Nan, but this effect did not occur on him, affecting the Evil God Temple instead.
This was also the first time that the Evil Value on Gu Nan's person was inconsistent with that shown in the Evil God Temple; there was a disconnect between the two.
"Why?" Doubts appeared in Gu Nan's heart, but he didn't take any further action and just waited for the Evil God Temple's reaction.
The next moment, just as Gu Nan expected, the Evil God Temple shattered and turned into fragments that melted into Gu Nan's body.
The game panel in Gu Nan's mind gradually cracked until it completely shattered, and the Evil Value number in the display also split in half.
Everything was the same as the game's Third Round, but Gu Nan could feel that he had yet to truly reach the Third Round.
'It's still a little short… Is it because I don't have enough Evil Value?'
This current state gave Gu Nan the feeling of having some—but not all—of the characteristics of the Third Round, but the overall amount was still a little short.
But after reaching the Third Round in advance, Gu Nan no longer had Evil Value and even lost the Evil God Temple. Without the Evil God Temple, could slaughtering gods still give Evil Value?
Gu Nan didn't conduct any experiments for the time being and continued injecting the world origin into his body, but it had zero effect.
'What does this mean? Don't tell me that the true transmigrator isn't me, but the Evil God Temple?'
This laughable thought flashed through Gu Nan's mind. It was just a joke at first, but it refused to leave once it appeared.
Because judging from the current situation, this seemed to be the answer closest to the truth.
Molag transmigrated by himself because the skill tree was integrated with him. Or rather, it was an ability that belonged to him, and the skill tree was just a way of displaying it.
Changing the display wouldn't affect anything. It could've been a status panel, a library in his head, or an ability that gave skill points—it didn't matter.
But Gu Nan was slightly different. His power actually came from the Evil God Temple. What he did in the past was to first upgrade the Evil God Temple, and then the Evil God Temple would repay him.
Of course, since the Evil God Temple had no consciousness itself and was completely controlled by Gu Nan, he didn't feel that anything was off.
Until today, when the Evil God Temple shattered due to its own laws, Gu Nan finally understood the difference.
"The world origin is the embodiment of the world's laws. As long as there is enough power of laws, it can create anything, which naturally includes the Evil God Temple."
With Gu Nan's current realm, he already had a very in-depth understanding of the world origin.
The so-called origin could be understood as the basic energy that made up all creation. As long as the outside world gave the blueprint for an object, it could then be created using origin.
Molag's skill tree was such a blueprint. So when he obtained the Origin World's origin, this blueprint was immediately activated and went into effect.
But without the outside world's support, the users would somehow have to produce the Origin World's origin themselves. Fortunately, the blueprints themselves contained ways of generating origin.
The skill tree gained skill exp by killing monsters while the Evil God Temple gained Evil Value through various methods.
As for why these kinds of blueprints would appear… The reason was very simple. These blueprints originally came from inside the Origin World. Perhaps only with the appropriate blueprint would it still work in the outside world.
In this way, perhaps Jiu Po, Daoist Yellow Springs, and the others also had these blueprints, but they might not have been able to activate them?
"One more experiment still needs to be done." After this revelation, Gu Nan immediately thought that more experimental cases were needed.
It's just that it was already too late to look for Fu Cheng now, and it would be hard to get cooperation from Daoist Yellow Springs and Jiu Po. And Lu Wen, a guy who didn't even transmigrate naturally, wouldn't be able to produce the answer…
After eliminating many candidates on the list, Gu Nan suddenly recalled a suitable candidate.
