From the moment he saw the statue, Gu Nan realized that the root cause of this entire event was probably himself.

Others might not recognize this strange-looking statue, but it was abundantly clear to him—it was a statue of Zuo Zuo, the one he met in a personal dungeon and somehow found him in person.

Gu Nan was very confused about the purpose of Zuo Zuo's personal appearance back when he was hiding from the King of the Deep Sea. He once thought that Star Realm’s coordinates attracted the other party, but he felt that this didn't make sense.

The existence of Star Realm, one of the 72 Realms, had long been known by all major planes. Why would Zuo Zuo need Gu Nan to lead the way?

It wasn’t until he saw this statue that Gu Nan realized that what Zuo Zuo found on Gu Nan wasn’t Star Realm’s coordinates—rather, it was Immortal Demon World’s coordinates!

Thinking about it, Immortal Demon World probably used to be Zuo Zuo's Divine Kingdom, or astral world. After he was forced to leave for unknown reasons, he still left his statue behind as the overseer of the Divine Kingdom.

Only an Immortal Demon World that made a plane leap without Zuo Zuo’s permission would be able to free itself from Zuo Zuo’s control. It wasn’t until the appearance of an anomaly like Gu Nan that Zuo Zuo was able to rediscover Immortal Demon World’s trail.

After collecting all the thoughts in his head, Gu Nan's fist remained frozen in its original position, but the statue had already disappeared, leaving only fragments on the ground.

Xue Yan and the other two beside him all froze for a moment.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Gui finally found the chance to break away from the deadly fight. Her figure flashed away, escaping from the crisis.

The ball of light in Xue Yan’s hand slowly went out. She looked at Gu Nan with a slightly complicated gaze.

On the other hand, His Excellency Stephen, whose upper half was a flower and whose lower half was human, was in a completely crazed state—he had gone to great pains to obtain the inheritance left behind by that one, but now…

The statue representing the inheritance was smashed by Gu Nan's punch!

Stephen’s lower half with the inverted human face glared at Gu Nan with bloodshot eyes, sounding like a demon climbing out of the abyss, “You! Are! Courting! Death!"

The terrifying corpse flower floated in the air. Immediately after, he seemed to have teleported, immediately reappearing above Gu Nan's head. His bloody maw snapped at Gu Nan.

Gu Nan just looked up coldly and stretched out his right hand, directly grabbing one of the corpse flower’s jagged teeth.

Even Wu Gui had to use demonic energy to resist the corpse flower, but Gu Nan directly caught him with his bare hand!

Stephen’s human face smiled coldly. ‘He’s gravely mistaken if he thinks that my fangs are just sharp… Huh?’

The law of shredding attached to his fangs that he was so proud of actually didn’t take effect at all, disappearing formlessly as soon as the other party casually gripped a fang.

The next second, his entire body felt weightless—Gu Nan had directly lifted him up by the fang!

This picture had an extremely rich visual impact.

Gu Nan grabbed a fang with one hand and lifted a corpse flower dozens of times larger than himself above his head, then ferociously smashed him back onto the ground!

Boom!

Stephen’s gigantic body crashed down, smashing a hole into the ground. The soaring smoke obscured everyone's line of sight.

A moment later, Gu Nan's figure reappeared in their sight, while Stephen was lying on the ground motionlessly.

In only a single exchange, Gu Nan had already put down this corpse flower using the suddenness of law nullification and the terrifying strength of his Evil God physique.

"Sure enough, another bigshot joined the fight, but who would’ve imagined…” A bitter smile appeared on Lu Zhanyu’s face, her eyes fixed on Gu Nan in the air.

"...that it would be him," Gu Nian finished Lu Zhanyu’s sentence with an indescribable tone.

To say whose mood was the most complicated at this moment, it would certainly be the Eldest Miss Gu Nian.

After all, she personally brought Gu Nan up from a small plane, but he shot up like a rocket to Void Cutter Realm in an extremely short time.

Gu Nian, who never admitted defeat, felt an indelible sense of defeat for the first time.

Even when Gu Nan’s cultivation easily overtook her own a while back, she still believed that she could catch up again. After all, the secretive nature of her law would be the biggest aid for her future breakthrough.

But now…

That distant goal was easily achieved by Gu Nan.

"Do you also want this world?" Xue Yan's calm voice rang in Gu Nan's ear. "Simply shattering the statue is nowhere near enough."

She had no need for the inheritance. She just wanted to fuse together with her “younger sister,” so she could still keep calm even after the statue was broken.

"The law in this world is fusion. If you want to control it, you must first understand it," another voice rang out and smoothly continued the conversation, as if it were the same person talking.

Gu Nan turned to look and saw that Yan Xiaoxiao had already reached his side at some point.

The current her had a cold and detached expression, and even her eyes were glowing with a faint black light, but then that disappeared, and she revealed a familiar smile Gu Nan knew very well.

"Teacher, I want to try," Yan Xiaoxiao, who had once again become the Yan Xiaoxiao that Gu Nan was familiar with, said something very strange.

But Gu Nan understood what she meant and just nodded slightly.

The next moment, as if a mysterious force had descended upon Yan Xiaoxiao, her energy rapidly soared, becoming almost exactly the same as Xue Yan.

At the same time, with a gentle wave of her hand, the darkness that seemed to have surged up from the deepest abyss completely surrounded Gu Nan's entire body, frantically drilling into his body.

Using some kind of special law, Yan Xiaoxiao’s cultivation actually temporarily advanced to Void Cutter Realm!

"Light and darkness; assimilation and permeation—two sides of the law of fusion?" Gu Nan was so familiar with the laws of the world that he saw through her law almost at a glance.

The core law in Zuo Zuo's Immortal Demon World was fusion, while Xue Yan and Yan Xiaoxiao respectively inherited the two sides of "fusion"—the assimilating power of light and the permeating power of darkness.

It was no wonder that Gu Nan felt her law was a bit odd when Yan Xiaoxiao advanced to Prodigious Realm back then. Her law wasn’t like the normal law of wind; rather, it was the law of permeation.

Permeation, that is, to spread pervasively throughout everything.

The boundless darkness was like countless wildly wriggling worms, quickly drilling into Gu Nan's ears, nose, and eyes, as if to fill him up.

Unfortunately, before the darkness could come over him, Gu Nan's heart brightened slightly, the law nullification attribute instantly activating and wiping out the boundless darkness.

From the outside, it looked as if Gu Nan had a barrier around his body, isolating all the darkness outside.

"The power of law nullification," Yan Xiaoxiao and Xue Yan spoke at the same time, their voices already completely synchronized. Even their originally different voices gradually sounded similar.

At this time, the churning of heaven and earth had become more and more intense. Without anyone controlling the core law any longer, this world was already on the verge of collapse.

But this was a good thing for Gu Nan, because it meant that he could now take over this world.

"Let’s not waste more time." Gu Nan dispersed the darkness around him with a wave of his hand, and his face began to show a fierce smile.

"Won’t this place be mine as long as I kill the two of you?"
