Backing up to a moment ago.

The instant he read the message from the Evil God Temple, Gu Nan's consciousness dived into it and opened the game panel with the fastest speed in his entire life, then chose to advance.

The Evil Event “Nun—The Buddha of Ten Thousand Samsara" was the fastest event Gu Nan had ever experienced, but the reward was quite high.

Actually, he took a risk. If the Evil Value reward given by this Evil Event didn’t exceed 42, then he might’ve truly become a pile of bones.

Fortunately, the event content of "attacking a Tier 4 powerhouse" suddenly raised the difficulty level many times over, so it gave quite a high reward.

Gu Nan currently had 506 Evil Value and 2,600 points, while advancement cost 2,500 points, so it was just right.

The Tier 4 advancement process was even stranger than Gu Nan imagined.

As his arcana during Tier 3, the law of substitution became Gu Nan’s first exclusive law and directly became his main skill after advancing to Tier 4.

Under the torrent of the indescribable power of laws, Gu Nan's comprehension of "shadow" was rapidly improving, and he finally stepped into the ranks of Tier 4 in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Gu Nan had the game experience in his past life. Although the essence of the law needed to be absorbed slowly, he was crystal clear on how to apply it.

Purely in terms of application and usage, those Star Rulers may not even be better than him.

"Tier 4." Gu Nan sat on the throne of the Evil God Temple, and shadow clones began to appear beside him one by one.

"Substitution." Gu Nan stabbed his sword out. Around a dozen shadow clones also turned into his appearance and made the exact same stabbing motion. The only difference was the very slight timing difference.

After entering Tier 4, the law of substitution wasn’t so simple anymore and had more varied usage.

His dozen or so shadow clones were substituted by Gu Nan at different points in time. During the time interval when he stabbed his sword out, his true body substituted a different shadow clone every single instant, turning that shadow clone into his true body at that point in time.

To turn illusions into reality. Such an ability almost resembled the power of creation. This was the true power of Tier 4.

……

Just when the young girl, Wu Gui, bestowed the black lotus upon Ye Chen and made a declaration to the Heavens, what accompanied the sound of Gu Nan's voice was the power of shadows that suddenly surged all the way to the sky.

The young girl's eyes slowly moved to that side, the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord looked back in amazement, while the King of the Deep Sea reacted faster than either of them. He had already taken off in a flash.

It wasn’t because he was very vigilant. Rather, the thick killing intent directed at him from not far away left him with no choice but to respond.

Countless figures of Gu Nan appeared beside the King of the Deep Sea simultaneously. Every single one of them was real, reflecting his true body at some point in time, and every sword was deadly.

"Gu Nan!" The King of the Deep Sea thundered. His body suddenly swelled, and the anchor on his shoulder slammed down heavily.

The terrifying shockwave seemed capable of shattering even space itself. Gu Nan's shadow clones were naturally smashed to pieces, but at the same time, even more shadow doppelgangers crawled out from the King of the Deep Sea’s shadow.

The King of the Deep Sea’s gaze darkened slightly as he finally realized that he couldn’t afford to fight a prolonged battle with the other party, so he was determined to escape, even if he had to take full damage from this oncoming wave of attacks.

He tore open the void with his hands and prepared to jump inside without another word, but dozens of Gu Nan’s swords simultaneously stabbed his back.

Faced with the shadow swords, the armor on his body crumbled like paper and was pierced through instantly. Dozens of swords all stabbed into his body, and blood poured out crazily.

"Roar!"

The King of the Deep Sea roared like a beast, and at the same time, the aura of an ancient fierce beast appeared on him—as a bloodline user, most of the King of the Deep Sea’s bloodline wasn’t human.

However, he ultimately suppressed the impulse coming from the depths of his bloodline. Instead of turning back and engaging in a fierce battle with the enemy, he fled into the crack in the void, escaping to some unknown plane.

The shadow clones all over the sky slowly merged together, transforming back into one Gu Nan, who was standing right where the King of the Deep Sea had stood seconds before.

"He’s sure fast at running away." Gu Nan sneered, unconcerned with chasing after him.

After all, the King of the Deep Sea was still a Tier 4 expert and naturally had his methods when it came to running for his life. It would be difficult to actually kill him.

‘It’s just that he took dozens of my attacks. I’m afraid it’ll be hard for him to recover to his original state without decades of recuperation—but how can I give him time to recuperate?’

Although the monk can run away, the monk’s temple cannot.

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord was completely stupefied as he watched this. At the very least, the King of the Deep Sea was still a veteran Void Cutter expert and a powerhouse who was awarded a Planet Rank seal by the Starry Ocean Pavilion. Such a person actually fled so decisively?

On the other side, Gu Nan's gaze had already shifted to him.

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord felt like a poisonous snake had locked onto him, and he felt strange chills on his back. He quickly waved his hands placatingly. "Daoist Friend Gu, we have no enmity between us, so we might as well—"

Gu Nan swung his sword down without hesitation— ‘Why say so much rubbish? Only those I can’t kill have the right to negotiate!’

Layers upon layers of shadow swords appeared again. This one swing was divided into hundreds of instances. At every instance, Gu Nan’s true body substituted for a different shadow clone and participated in the attack on the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord.

This method of infinite replication made the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord’s scalp go numb.

He wasn’t the King of the Deep Sea and had no ability to tank these attacks, so he simply let himself be chopped to pieces.

Attacks from a Tier 4 powerhouse weren’t so easy to endure. Even if this wasn’t the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord’s true body, the power of shadows still traced his law back to its source and attacked his true body.

A stifled grunt of pain came from the starry sky, followed by a wave of spatial fluctuations. The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord had left.

Just as he said before, he went directly to the Central Region’s Starry Ocean Pavilion. That was the only place where he felt safer.

"Another one." Gu Nan still had a sneer on his face.

He wasn’t afraid of these Tier 4 experts running away, because these people all had their own roots. As long as they weren’t alone in this world, they’d be forced to show themselves sooner or later if he killed enough of their forces.

Feng Xu, Ping Jiushan, and Guan Sheng were originally standing beside the King of the Deep Sea, but they were currently shivering in fear. When they saw Gu Nan turn his head their way, they wanted to beg for mercy but were stabbed through the heart simultaneously.

After killing these three, Gu Nan's gaze finally fell on the girl named Wu Gui, the one who almost flattened him with just one attack.

Wu Gui was also glaring at him coldly, because it was precisely Gu Nan's sword that forced her to decide earlier than intended, which allowed her demonic side to gain the upper hand, resulting in her current miserable situation.

There was animosity on both sides, so it naturally led to a big fight.

Shadows reappeared, and countless swords shot straight at the girl. On the other side, Wu Gui gently tapped the black lotus under her, and demonic intent suddenly engulfed the sky.

Crack.

As if something in the void had just shattered, Gu Nan's shadow clones were swept clean, and Wu Gui’s demonic intent was also gone. The two’s attacks actually ended in a draw.

At this moment, however, two more auras descended. It was a man and a woman who were stepping out of the void.

Both the man and woman had pointed ears, fair skin, and similar appearances.

But it was the man who spoke with a dark expression right now, "The two of you entered our Heaven and Earth Star uninvited. Do you want us siblings to carry out our duties as hosts?"

This man and woman—older brother and younger sister—were the two Void Cutter rulers of Heaven and Earth Star!

T/N:

Sounds like substitution is both a skill and a law. Will be lowercase if it’s referring to it as a law and uppercase for the skill
