Chapter 598: Last Resort
The Snow Mountain Sect’s building was indeed a famous attraction far and wide, attracting many tourists.
However, for the sect that owned such a miraculous building to have neither developed into a major sect nor been coveted by other major sects for 20,000 years, the problems with this were also obvious.
To put it bluntly, most of the items provided by that building were of low quality, and very few even reached Prodigious Realm. Moreover, only three people could use the structure every day, so very few people were tempted.
On the other hand, the Snow Mountain Sect's territory was extremely remote, and there were no developable resources around it, so even the major sects had no interest in this place.
"Looks like this building can’t be moved," Gu Nan stood in front of the so-called "Fortuitous Encounters Hall" and said flatly.
Because the rumors about fortuitous encounters were so deeply rooted in the people’s hearts, the Snow Mountain Sect simply named this hall the "Fortuitous Encounters Hall".
"That's natural." Yu Lian said with a smile, "With the power level of this small world’s inhabitants, they can't even destroy it."
The two were chatting as if nobody else was around. A few tourists occasionally passed by, but they walked straight past Gu Nan and Yu Lian, as if they couldn't see these two at all.
Gu Nan slowly entered the Fortuitous Encounters Hall, only to see a huge statue of a Daoist Venerable in the center, with three praying mats underneath.
Two of them were already turned over, and a person was worshiping respectfully on the last one. After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, a skill manual was placed in front of him.
The person ran out in joy and kept showing off to his martial brothers. Among the fortuitous encounters given by the structure, skill manuals were often the most valuable type.
Gu Nan saw this entire scene, then shook his head slightly and said to Yu Lian, "Let's go."
"You’re done looking at it?" This time, it was Yu Lian's turn to be curious. It was actually not her first time setting this, but she couldn't really see anything strange about this whole process.
In fact, this was merely the process of creating items using the laws of the world. Perhaps someone used a special method to pull a small part of the world origin here to randomly create these trivial items.
It might be a formation or some kind of treasure, but obviously, none of these could surprise the grand Star Ruler of Void Grotto Heaven.
Gu Nan just shook his head without replying. He knew far better than Yu Lian what this scene signified.
The world origin used to create these items was unfamiliar to Yu Lian, but Gu Nan was very familiar with it. This was none other than origin No. 059812, from the Origin World.
This Snow Mountain Ascetic also came from the Origin World, but the blueprint he gained from the Origin World was clearly that of a sect.
It was precisely because of this that when the two Star Rulers fought, he had to stay in the sect to defend it and unfortunately became collateral damage.
Perhaps it wasn’t that he didn’t want to run. Rather, if the sect couldn’t survive, then it was useless even if he could run away.
……
Gu Nan sat in front of a desk. On the desk was a piece of paper with a list of names written on it from top to bottom.
Jiu Po, Daoist Yin Yang, Zero, Daoist Yellow Springs, Snow Mountain Ascetic, Lu Wen, Gu Nan, Molag.
This was the list of everyone currently related to the Origin World, sorted by time. It could be said that the appearance of the Snow Mountain Ascetic and Daoist Yin Yang truly filled the gaps in time.
After doing this, Gu Nan drew a red line to connect the two names "Daoist Yin Yang" and "Lu Wen".
Looking at this timeline now, one would find a very interesting pattern—that is, the point in time each name first appeared was when the previous person was about to complete their final transformation.
Daoist Yin Yang appeared right before Jiu Po captured the Earth Realm, but there wasn’t much time left before this happened, so he had no time to stop it.
He even took a risk and sent a warning to his senior martial brother, but his senior martial brother, Daoist Miao Xu, did not believe him.
Zero's life was unknown, and Daoist Yellow Springs also appeared before Zero completely disappeared; the time when the Snow Mountain Ascetic appeared was right before Daoist Yellow Springs ascended to Unified Dao.
There was a slight break from this pattern when it came to Lu Wen, because the Snow Mountain Ascetic unfortunately died from unexpected circumstances before he could grow into a powerhouse, so that case could only be ignored.
But then this pattern appeared again. Within a mere hundred years after Gu Nan's appearance, Lu Wen completed his awakening and regained the dual laws of time and space.
And just when Gu Nan was about to "destroy the world as the Evil God", Molag appeared, carrying with him the subsequent “history”.
As the transmigrators were found one by one, the pattern of visitors from the Origin World seemed to gradually reveal itself before Gu Nan.
Of course, this wasn’t without its contradictions.
For example, according to the previously known information, Lu Wen should have been brought out by Daoist Yellow Springs, but in reality, he was actually within the "quota" from the Origin World.
Another example was that Daoist Yellow Springs claimed to have seen history related to “Jiu Po”, but according to the pattern, it was actually Daoist Yin Yang who witnessed this portion of history.
"Yellow Springs is lying," Gu Nan put the pen gently on the table and said to himself after a period of silence. "Lu Wen's past and present lives may have been connected with Yellow Springs long ago."
Gu Nan didn't think Yellow Springs hiding things from him was anything surprising.
For someone like him, who’d been in the gap between the two worlds for tens of thousands of years, it would be stupid if he told Gu Nan everything.
Gu Nan never believed in information easily obtained from other people's mouths. He only believed in the things he found little by little through investigation. If even these things were tampered with, then he could only blame himself for being dumb enough to be fooled.
Looking away from the table, the paper was instantly burned to ashes without leaving any trace, and Gu Nan's figure appeared at the edge of the Myriad Heavens and began to move towards the World of Gods.
He already had all the information he needed to know. Next, he just had to take care of the greater gods.
It just so happened that he also wanted to check if slaughtering gods would still give any Evil Value.
As for Void Grotto Heaven… One had to say that the Daoist Sect’s ability to stand for hundreds of thousands of years was not without reason. Its continued survival did not only rely on strength.
Thanks to the information they handed over and the effectiveness they displayed in investigating the Snow Mountain Ascetic, the Daoist Sect gave Gu Nan a reason to let them go.
With such a sect that monitored the world, he might be able to discover some things that he wouldn't otherwise notice.
Of course, if Gu Nan was asked to choose between wisdom or strength, his choice would definitely be the latter.
If he could kill an enemy in one punch, why would he need to use his brain?
……
The World of Gods.
The five remaining greater gods were gathered in the Holy Light Divine Kingdom. Even Daisy and Baal stepped into this Divine Kingdom that they would never have entered in the past.
It could only be said that faced with the threat of the Evil God, it was meaningless to continue the conflict between the two major factions.
"The Evil God is no longer something we can oppose." Austin sighed slightly. "His laws and power… We can't pose a threat to him at all."
"Is there no other way?" Daisy's face was still a little pale. The injuries Gu Nan gave her earlier were so severe that they almost damaged her foundation.
Austin was quiet for a long time. Finally, he turned his attention to the person next to him. "The last resort… You are our last hope."
The person he was staring at was none other than Ruler of War, Eugene.
This Ruler of War, who’d been an invisible existence in the war for a long time, suddenly felt like he just heard "the organization has already decided".
