This was the strategy Aiden and Sirius came up with.
If Gu Nan didn’t exist, then they would be fighting with the Deadwood Sage as the main tank, the God of Thieves as the damage dealer waiting for an opportunity to strike, and the Goddess of Shadows holding back the enemy from the side.
But it must be said that this plan was very inefficient.
With the meager damage from Sirius’s dagger, stabbing Chamberlain to death would be a very lengthy process, and it was hard to say how long the Deadwood Sage could last.
But Chamberlain's misfortune lies in the fact that Gu Nan was also here.
The instant Chamberlain appeared, Gu Nan had already attacked at full power. The sword of shadows fell on him dead-on, forcing Chamberlain to raise his sword to block the attack.
Both were people who excelled in speed, exchanging hundreds of blows in an instant. Every strike from Gu Nan only advanced forward, leaving no room for retreat. They targeted the opponent’s vitals, but Chamberlain blocked them all.
His reputation as a Sword Saint was well-deserved.
Gu Nan shrugged somewhat helplessly. In the mid- to late-stages of the game, all players will face this situation where NPCs’ skills were also quite strong, not losing out at all to PVPs.
But this didn’t really matter.
Just when Chamberlain thought he had a moment to catch his breath, Gu Nan rushed up fiercely, directly tanking the opponent's longsword with his stomach before leisurely thrusting his sword out.
A sword stuck on Gu Nan was not as easy to retrieve as when it was stuck on Aiden.
The corner of Chamberlain's mouth twitched slightly, and he was forced to leap, trying to dodge Gu Nan's attack in midair.
But after he dodged Gu Nan's shadow sword, he also no longer had space to move around, so Gu Nan slammed his head into Chamberlain’s forehead without a second thought as a horrifying crack sounded…
A few seconds later, Classmate Shadow Sword Saint held his sword with one hand while his other hand covered his forehead, which was bleeding profusely.
Chamberlain was completely human. Even after becoming a god, his blood was still bright red, but now it looked a little miserable.
The grand Sword Saint was actually defeated with this kind of street thug fighting style.
Chamberlain ended up in a disadvantage in both exchanges. It wasn’t that he was much weaker than Gu Nan, but that he had picked a riskier tactic in order to ultimately win, only to be completely countered by Gu Nan.
The wounded Chamberlain was still fighting hard. People who could make it this far did not lack perseverance and persistence.
In terms of willpower, Gu Nan was probably no match for his opponent, but the problem was… he didn’t have to undergo any tests of willpower.
Any injury Gu Nan suffered would heal very quickly, and he didn’t need to bother thinking about how to fight.
All Gu Nan needed to do was simply to stab his sword into Chamberlain’s body, no matter the price.
A few moments later, Gu Nan was still standing there as good as new while Chamberlain’s entire body was already covered in wounds.
After once again blocking an attack by the God of Thieves that came out of the void, Chamberlain let out a small sigh.
"It’s my loss." He slowly sheathed his longsword and took the initiative to say, "From today onwards, the name of ‘Shadow’ belongs to your sect."
Sirius and Aiden exchanged a glance and finally sighed in relief. Sylvia still wanted to say something, but Chamberlain's figure had already disappeared.
Although the Sword Saint who lost the name of Shadow left, Karina still didn’t leave. Instead, she walked up to Gu Nan.
"I will bring enough divine spears next time and find you again!" The Valkyrie clearly couldn’t accept losing to Gu Nan like this.
"I’m just afraid you won’t dare come," Gu Nan responded with a chuckle.
"Where do you live?"
"The Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom, the one that just ascended to a greater god."
"......"
……
Gu Nan caused quite a stir after he came to the World of Gods, but this couldn't compare to what Rolensia stirred up.
A newly ascended greater god!
The birth of every greater god was an earth-shattering event, enough to directly change the situation in the World of Gods.
During this time, Rolensia was practically always busy. She had too many matters to handle and also too many people she needed to meet.
In particular, she didn’t ascend through the normal method, instead taking this final step in the Myriad Heavens Universe, which attracted even more curiosity.
And so, the existence of the Heaven-God Alliance became equally well known in the World of Gods, and more and more gods tried to join.
"So, when can we head back?" Gu Nan asked as such within the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom.
In front of him were Xue Ren, Daoist Lingyang, and Mad Fist, the very same people who came from the Myriad Heavens.
The only one whose traces couldn’t be seen since arriving here was Zi Luo Elder.
"Soon." Xue Ren answered with a smile, "In around a year at most, we will be able to return to the Myriad Heavens in style."
Mad Fist cut in from the side, "What's the point of going back? There are plenty of people to fight with here."
Unlike Gu Nan, who had to return to farm points, Mad Fist lived a comfortable life recently.
Not many people in the World of Gods knew his reputation, allowing him to easily find people to challenge. Oftentimes, his opponents still didn’t know who he was even after the fight.
Of the people who came over from the Myriad Heavens Universe, if the rowdiest one was Gu Nan, then Mad Fist would undoubtedly be the second rowdiest person.
Gu Nan shrugged and expressed indifference to this.
Because of the lack of points, it wasn’t convenient for him to accumulate too much Evil Value for the time being, but that wasn’t a big problem.
Before stepping into Tier 9, time was still on his side, so there was no need for him to be in too much of a hurry.
And Xue Ren's response undoubtedly hinted at something; that outcome was not hard to guess.
Gu Nan's life turned peaceful again. His usual activities were just having tea with Xue Ren and Daoist Lingyang or playing two rounds of black cards with Sylvia.
Although Sylvia never won, nor did she ever come close to winning.
As the days slowly passed, the nine people who were sent out earlier returned one after another.
The result was a little worse than Gu Nan expected. Eight of the nine returned already, but only three completed a class change, even if all of them had the full walkthrough Gu Nan provided.
He was already prepared for this, so Gu Nan wasn’t that disappointed. He simply told them to try again or switch to a different route.
Of course, before that, it was inevitable to recommend some people to pursue the "Phantom Sword Saint" route.
This kind of route that required a prerequisite mission to unlock usually had more powerful attributes and faster growth than normal routes.
"Who is still missing?" Gu Nan asked Lan Si, who had already returned.
"An Tiansheng. He picked the Bandit route."
Gu Nan remembered the teen who called himself a "bandit" and couldn't help revealing a trace of a smile. "The Bandit route does suit him well, but it's not easy to get that class.”
"Since he’s still not back yet, he most likely ran into trouble. Find out where he is," Gu Nan instructed as such, but he wasn’t actually too concerned.
He left marks on all nine people. If there was a threat to their lives, he would be the first to know.
What he didn't expect was that just one day later, Lan Si came back and reported, "My Lord, I'm afraid An Tiansheng is in trouble… He stole something he shouldn't have stolen when selecting the Bandit route."
