Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

After sending Bai Luoluo back to Immortal Demon World, Gu Nan stayed in Star Realm and didn’t start a new round of reincarnations for the time being.

When he was arranging things in Immortal Demon World, Gu Nian sent him several messages urging him to find an identity in Star Realm as soon as possible.

Star Realm was a federation of autonomous regions. The situation in the Ninth Region consisted of three administrative stars each taking care of their own business. The residents of Ruby Fish Star only needed to follow the rules set by Ruby Fish Star’s government.

Since Gu Nan entered Ruby Fish Star lawfully, he naturally entered the government’s regulatory oversight.

If he stayed in seclusion for a long time, he would soon attract the attention of the relevant departments, which would be a troublesome thing.

Because——reincarnation is illegal.

That’s right. Although many people in Star Realm used reincarnation to cultivate, reincarnation was an illegal activity under the current law.

There wouldn’t really be any punishment once discovered other than the cultivator being deported from the realm.

When Gu Nan first heard about this, he was also in a dumbfounded state. Later, he finally learned that, as it turned out, reincarnation was inconsistent with “humanitarian” behavior.

On the other hand, Gu Nan really did need a job in Star Realm.

Qin Xuanji also told him how to obtain missions from different worlds while in Star Realm. Most of the required materials were relatively common, except for one where he had to buy raw materials for and personally prepare.

Gu Nan didn’t want to use the Gu family to purchase key materials like this, so he needed to find a way to earn some money to buy them.

“So the job Gu Nian found for me is being a combat coach?” Gu Nan asked casually as he stepped down from a floating car and followed a girl.

“Eldest Miss said this job suited you the most……” Gu Xingzhu turned her head back and sized up Gu Nan’s small body. The words “I don’t believe her” were practically written on her face.

Gu Nian was already considered a half-elder in the Gu family. As the only Prodigious Realm cultivator in the younger generation, she had too many things to do. Of course she couldn’t stay with Gu Nan all day.

So Gu Xingzhu became their “liaison.”

Originally, she wasn’t too happy about contacting a poisonous snake like Gu Nan, but she couldn’t disobey Gu Nian’s order.

Lu Xinyu’s understanding of Gu Xingzhu was already outdated information. There was indeed considerable strife within the Gu family, but that was because its members were competing against one another.

Ever since Gu Nian advanced to Prodigious Realm, competition amongst the younger generation had lost its meaning. Unless a second Prodigious Realm expert appears before Gu Nian completely takes control of the Gu family, Gu Nian would be the undisputed winner. And Gu Xingzhu was one of the first people to surrender and join Gu Nian’s side.

This was the difference between the Prodigious and Innate Realms.

Gu Nan didn’t show any response to Gu Xingzhu’s doubts. He just nodded. “This really does suit me.”

To think that Gu Nian could actually find such a suitable job for Gu Nan—he just needed to go there a few times a week and ask for leave in advance. Even the field of specialization was quite suitable for him.

What Gu Nan excelled at had never been in martial arts, but with fighting skills. Gu Nian had already realized this back when she was in Langya World.

Gu Xingzhu shrugged. “Then go in with me…… I have to warn you first that the boss of this fight club isn’t easy to talk to.”

Gu Nan didn’t even respond this time. One after another, the two entered the fight club called “Reincarnation.”

A fight club with such a literary name was actually thriving. Thinking about it, this fight club definitely wasn’t anything ordinary.

“Xingzhu? You have time to come here today?” When a young girl saw them, she immediately asked in pleasant surprise, “How about it? Want to fight a match?”

“Okay! I’ve made considerable progress in the past two months.” Gu Xingzhu also smiled brightly when she saw the girl.

When the girl walked over, Gu Xingzhu continued, “But I have to take him to see your elder brother first…… This is Gu Nan, here to apply for the combat coach position. He’s my distant younger cousin.”

“Older cousin,” Gu Nan flatly emphasized.

Gu Xingzhu’s expression darkened.

She rolled her eyes at him and introduced the girl, “Wang Lizhi[1], the second boss of this club. Her older brother is the boss.”

Wang Lizhi looked at Gu Nan with curiosity, while Gu Nan also had the same expression. “Wang Lizhi, is your older brother Wang Caomei?”

“Of course not! What man would have a name like Caomei?” Wang Lizhi showed a disdainful expression. “His name is Wang Guodong.”

“Oh, that’s very manly.” Gu Nan nodded.

……

……

The three walked forward together. They soon arrived at the inner part of the club and saw the legendary boss, Wang Guodong.

He was currently teaching a class of several students. Upon seeing the three, he had the students train freely for a while and started to walk towards them.

Wang Guodong was also a slightly thin man. He looked around thirty years old, but people couldn’t be judged by their appearances. Not only was he the boss of the fight club, but he was also their top coach.

In other words, he was the best fighter here.

Wang Guodong’s words were direct. “Gu Nan, right? You’re just in time. We’ve always been short on coaches, but we just couldn’t find professionals…… Let’s spar first?”

“Okay. Right here?” Gu Nan didn’t say much either. He just looked around.

Their surroundings should be a public training room. Many coaches were guiding students in their training, so there were many people watching them.

“Yes.” Wang Guodong nodded without hesitation. He felt as if that was a little impolite, so he smiled and explained, “Pardon me, because it’s training time right now……”

Gu Nan also nodded. Just when he was about to speak, a person hurriedly ran over.

“Brother Guodong, Miss Xu’s side…… Er……” A man in a coach’s uniform hurriedly spoke as soon as he ran to Wang Guodong, but halfway through, he realized that an outsider was present and quickly shut up.

Wang Guodong, however, didn’t care about these things. He frowned. “Not even Old Lin could do it?”

“Yeah.” That man smiled bitterly. “Miss Xu came to the club again in the evening. Coach Lin fought five matches against her and lost all five…… According to the previous agreement……”

“According to the previous agreement, it’s your turn to be my private coach now, Coach Wang.” A slightly cold female voice came from behind the man and finished his sentence.

The crowd couldn’t help looking behind them. They saw a young girl in loose sportswear standing behind them with a cold expression. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest, and her right sleeve was slightly damaged.

Gu Nan knew at a glance that this was caused by her fights previously.

“This is Xu Feiyan, the Xu family’s beloved daughter. Don’t provoke her.” Gu Xingzhu whispered in Gu Nan’s ear, as if she’s afraid of him causing any trouble.

In Gu Xingzhu’s eyes, Gu Nan was simply a thorn who’d dare to violate all sorts of taboos.

Not that her description is inaccurate, of course.

“The Xu family’s beloved daughter…… So basically she’s very rich?” Gu Nan thought for a moment and asked.

“Of course she’s rich,” Gu Xingzhu answered subconsciously, but then she immediately shot him a fierce glare. “It’s true that she’s very rich, but you still need to be alive after getting that money!”

Gu Nan turned his head and smiled at her, making the latter’s blood run cold.

Notes:

[1] Lizhi = Lychee. Caomei = Strawberry. Guodong = Jelly

What the conversation sounds like:

She rolled her eyes at him and introduced the girl, “Lychee, the second boss of this club. Her older brother is the boss.”

Wang Lizhi looked at Gu Nan with curiosity, while Gu Nan also had the same expression. “Lychee, is your older brother Strawberry?”

“Of course not! What man would have a name like Strawberry?” Wang Lizhi showed a disdainful expression. “His name is Jelly.”

“Oh, that’s very manly.” Gu Nan nodded.

(So someone actually calls him “Brother Jelly” later…)
