BXBX NOVEL Chapter 276: Third Law, Deity’s Descent!
Ever since he transmigrated to this world, he hadn’t been able to harvest Evil Value to his heart’s content like this!
Gu Nan, who was staying in Zi Luo Heaven for the time being, seemed to have returned to his days in the game, immersing himself in a large pile of missions everyday to find missions that suited him and also gave high rewards.
Perhaps this was the most suitable life for Gu Nan, a mission expert.
In just three months, Gu Nan\'s Evil Value reached 1,700, and he also accumulated nearly 4,000 points.
Now his Evil Value had exceeded the 1,500 mark, but Gu Nan wasn’t in a hurry to construct the third law.
If this was before, he probably wouldn\'t have chosen to wait and would’ve tried to advance earlier. But now that there was a stable source of Evil Value and points, Gu Nan had other ideas.
He wanted to gather 4,000 points in one fell swoop and acquire a heaven-defying third law!
｢Divine fire corrupted. Obtained 40 Evil Value and 400 points｣
After absorbing another wave of active origins, Gu Nan earned more Evil Value and points. And after this wave, he finally saved enough points.
Gu Nan’s consciousness immediately sank into the Evil God Temple and started to construct his third law.
｢Beginning construction of the third exclusive law｣
｢To extract from existing laws, please select from your known abilities｣
｢The selected abilities are as follows: Law Nullification Weaponry, Giantification, and Destruction. Confirm?｣
｢Abilities not found. Do you wish to buy them?｣
｢Purchase confirmed. Please determine the ratio of each ability inputted…｣
｢Constructing exclusive law…｣
As Gu Nan\'s orders were issued one after another in the Evil God Temple, ability after ability was thrown into the mixture, and the construction of the law was proceeding slowly.
There were two main factors as to why the third law Gu Nan wanted to construct required so many points.
Firstly, this was a law that required three skills to construct. Secondly, Gu Nan didn’t own any of these three skills previously, so he had to buy them all.
Buying three brand-new skills that he normally never used was undoubtedly a very expensive decision.
But Gu Nan did just that… Why? Because he has money!
Based on his current progress, by the time Gu Nan accumulated 2,500 Evil Value, he should also have earned enough points to level up to Tier 5, so he could afford to invest heavily in the third law.
After all, at his level, there were fewer and fewer occasions where his old equipment and skills could come in handy.
For example, the effect of Praise of Dawn could be suppressed by a single law of curses from Yue Jiu, and enemies would also gradually find ways to counter Blink.
After reaching Tier 5, even the damage reduction effect of Resistance would be suppressed. This was the suppression of abilities caused by the increase in one’s level, which wasn’t something he could salvage.
Therefore, it was necessary for Gu Nan to continuously acquire new and more powerful abilities.
｢Construction of the third exclusive law ‘Deity\' has been completed｣
After inputting a specific ratio of the ingredient abilities, the third law was completed without any accident!
The third law was called "Deity," which was a law made entirely for battle. Different from the previous two laws, it had a short description.
｢Deity: You will naturally possess divinity, and you can transform into a deity for a short time｣
The game’s descriptions always liked to act mysterious. If one were to use a more familiar game language, then this law had two effects: one active and one passive.
The passive was possessing divinity, while the active was transforming into a deity.
Divinity was the unique characteristic of gods, and it was quite useful under certain special circumstances. It also had some unexpected effects when judging whether enemy abilities’ effects would be triggered or not, so the Deity law contained a pretty good passive effect.
Even less needed to be said about the active effect. This was the biggest reason Gu Nan chose this law!
Transforming into a deity wasn’t the same as transforming into a god—rather, it was an honest-to-god deity! Super-high resistance, health, and destructive power, as well as an invincible existence that can crush laws with their physical body alone!
Because of this overly powerful effect, the active effect of the Deity law was often dubbed by players as a "deity’s descent to the mortal realm.”
The phrase "descent to the mortal realm" fully expressed how this law wasn’t something that should even appear in the mortal realm in the first place.
After his consciousness returned to his body, Gu Nan stood up slowly. Now that the third law was successfully constructed, even Gu Nan couldn\'t help smiling slightly.
He walked out of his room. This was the residence he bought in Zi Luo Heaven, located in an area only Void Cutter cultivators could live in. The decor was naturally extremely luxurious, and it was even equipped with professional servants, maids, and housekeepers.
"Master." Seeing Gu Nan\'s appearance, a maid quickly stepped forward. "Lord Roman had someone deliver two boxes of pastries, speciality products of Blue Demon World."
“Got it," Gu Nan replied casually.
Roman was a neighbor who lived next door, a strange Void Cutter cultivator who didn’t seem cold and detached at all and was quite enthusiastic towards ordinary people.
He was even more enthusiastic towards Gu Nan, someone with the same cultivation realm as him. From time to time, he would drop by and say hello, send over some small gifts, and even invite Gu Nan to go on missions together.
If he didn’t know that Roman had several concubines, Gu Nan would’ve thought he was gay.
Ignoring what Roman sent, Gu Nan soon came to Astral Gate’s missions hall and began a day\'s mission search.
This time, he found a mission that rather interested him from the pile of missions.
To be precise, it was a chance for him to settle a personal vendetta while earning origin crystals.
"King of the Deep Sea?"
……
"King of the Deep Sea?"
"That’s right. I saw him advance to Void Cutter Realm with my own eyes. The King of the Deep Sea was precisely the one hunting him down back then. If such a mission appears in front of him, he won\'t mind completing it while taking care of an old enemy in passing."
"Based on our investigations, he frequently appeared in some small planes recently. We suspect he joined an organization and is accepting missions to earn origin crystals.”
"As long as we lure him here, the four of us will attack together. We must kill him instantly."
A group of people were sitting around a table inside Starry Ocean Pavilion, discussing a "small matter" with seriousness.
Exactly who were the people sitting here?
The current and only Pavilion Lord of Starry Ocean Pavilion—Yue Jiu; the reincarnation of the Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara—Wu Gui; one of the Five Steles and a top Void Cutter cultivator—Shang Rong; as well as Gu Nian, who was said to be Lord Zuo Zuo’s trusted aide.
However, these people—four of the world\'s top powerhouses—were discussing an insignificant King of the Deep Sea, a weak Void Cutter whom Starry Ocean Pavilion only rated as “Planet Rank.”
The voice of doubt just now came from Yue Jiu.
"Just who is that Gu Nan, for us to attach so much importance to him?" While Yue Jiu still remembered Gu Nan, he clearly didn\'t take the other party very seriously.
For him, Gu Nan was merely the previous ruler of the Sixth Region who once slipped away from right under Yue Jiu’s nose; he had some ability, but that was all.
But at present, Yue Jiu’s three accomplices took the trouble to go around in a big circle, all to discreetly lure Gu Nan into a trap using the King of the Deep Sea.
In Yue Jiu\'s eyes, this kind of caution was completely unnecessary.
The four of them gathering together to ambush one person was the same as killing a chicken with a knife used to butcher cows. Any two of the ones present here could entrap Gu Nan entirely and doom his fate.
But Yue Jiu wasn’t stupid either. The fact that Wu Gui, Shang Rong, and Gu Nian all showed the same caution towards Gu Nan despite coming from different places was enough to illustrate the problem.
‘Could there really be something strange about this Gu Nan?’
Yue Jiu had such questions in his heart, but on the surface, he said, "In any case, since all three of you intend to kill this person, Starry Ocean Pavilion will certainly give its full cooperation."
