In the throne room deep inside White Mists headquarters, the sudden flash of bloody light not only dumbfounded the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord, but it also left Red Tail stupefied.

No matter how you looked at it, both Red Tail and the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord could be considered smart people.

But the smarter they were, the more theyd overthink things, and the less theyd be able to understand the thoughts of a lunatic like Gu Nan.

But they understood at least one thing: Gu Nan really did intend to kill the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord just now and didnt hold back in that attack.

When the blade fell, the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord seemed to be standing in place motionlessly, but as the blade was about to touch him, the slash suddenly missed, striking the spot to his left.

Red Tail looked at him with a grave expression. She had never seen the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord in battle before, so she was secretly on the alert when the strike missed.

As White Mists distinguished Second Commander and a bloodline user who had lived for several hundred years, Red Tail's knowledge was by no means shallow.

However, she was unable to see through the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lords move just now.

"He didnt dodge or manipulate space. It wasnt an illusion, and he didnt switch places with a clone" Red Tail muttered to herself as she fixed the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord with a stare, her mind full of confusion.

Gu Nans simple slash couldnt be dodged at all, yet the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord used unknown means to force this strike to miss.

The feeling he gave off was as if hed been there all along.

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lords expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of a smile deep within his eyes If my skills can be seen through so easily, then wouldnt it be too cheap to call myself Heavenly Mystery?

"A causality skill?" Gu Nan, however, stopped his action and spat out three words, looking a little surprised.

Causality skills were a special law that reversed cause and effect. Its absolute strength wasnt high, but its application was very clever.

For example, the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord proclaimed that this strike wouldnt hit him, so no matter how Gu Nan aimed that slash, it would never hit him.

But the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord almost tripped and fell when he heard Gu Nan. He looked at Gu Nan like he was looking at a ghost, too speechless to speak for a while.

Gu Nan put away his blade and nodded encouragingly. "To be able to awaken the law of causalityyoure certainly qualified to act mysterious."

"How How did you know" The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord had never seen someone guess his law correctly simply by seeing one skill before.

Gu Nan just smiled and shook his head.

If he had to say the one thing he was most knowledgeable about in this world, it wouldnt be the dungeons in his previous life or the various gods secrets. It would be the power system here, which closely resembled the one inside the game.

Starting from Tier 3Prodigious Realmunderstanding the various laws and building their own exclusive laws were all things that players had researched inside-out.

The law of causality might sound incredible, but in the game, it was merely averageany law had its advantages and disadvantages, and causality was no exception.

However, this type of skill really was suitable for acting mysterious, so Gu Nan recognized the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lords right to pretend to be a mysterious expert.

Unable to get an answer, the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord asked Gu Nan another question after seeing Gu Nan put his weapon away, "Mr. Gu doesn't want to kill this poor Daoist anymore?"

Gu Nan didn't care about his odd form of self-address. Instead, he looked at the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord strangely. "Theres no enmity between us. Why would I want to kill you?"

Even someone as calculating and shameless as the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord choked upon hearing those self-confident words.

Bastard, now you know theres no enmity between us?

Gu Nan, however, ignored his attitude and bluntly said, "I'll just call you Heavenly Mystery Forget it, thats not very civilized. What do you want to see me about?"

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord gave him a deep look, collected his emotions, and resumed his indifferent and calm expression. "Lin Tian is an old acquaintance of Fu Jings."

The Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord quickly left.

The owner of the law of causality seemed like he came here just to get attacked, tell Gu Nan an insignificant piece of news, and then leave mysteriously.

"Its difficult to confirm the outcome of Lords battle with the Sand King. Perhaps the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord paid a visit to see if youre injured, Red Tail immediately thought of this.

"Perhaps." Gu Nan smiled, seeming unconcerned. "Help me pick up someone. Her name is Lan Si You should be able to find her, right?"

Red Tail smiled. "Of course. Weve known Lords whereabouts ever since you set foot on this planet."

"That's good." Gu Nan stood up and was about to leave the throne room, but after thinking about it, he sat down again. "I'll live here in the future. You can leave."

This throne room reminded him of the empty Evil God Temple, and suddenly he wanted to stay here for a long time.

Red Tail looked at him curiously but didnt say another word. She had seen too many powerful figures strange hobbies back when she was still a young fox.

But just as she was about to leave the throne room, she suddenly turned around and asked, "My Lord, what is the law of causality?"

"To specify a law and assign it the highest prioritythis is the law of causality," Gu Nan explained casually. Then, as if afraid that Red Tail wouldn't understand, he added, "For example, if you put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses and red clothes, then one minute will only have 59 seconds."

Gu Nan didnt give the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord and the law of causality too much thought.

After reading the archives carefully and fully understanding how to create a mirror, he finally took out the mirror eagerly and studied the missions on it.

This mirror was the one that Red Tail gave him, and he had dispersed most of the mist with the power of shadows.

The Evil God Temple was a very straightforward game system. Once his Evil Value reached the requirement, the system would give him the most standard realm and power corresponding to that level, without fail.

His Evil Value was currently at 300, which was the arcana level. That was the equivalent of a full EXP bar at Tier 3, so no one could be closer to Tier 4 than him.

Because of this, the mist on the mirror in front of him seemed so weak.

Gu Nan used his mind to slowly examine each mission on the mirror. At the same time, his hand continuously jotted down the mission content and requirements.

Unlike ordinary Heavenly Emissaries, others usually looked for easy missions first to give to their subordinates or complete themselves, but Gu Nan only looked for missions from large planes.

Small missions that gave only a couple Evil Value couldnt even enter Gu Nans eyes anymore. The mission planes he wanted had to be at least as large as Immortal Demon World.

Gu Nan probably cleared away 90% of the mist on this mirror, but there were only a few dozen missions in it.

According to this estimate, an entire mirror would probably have around 50 missions.

Gu Nan spent another hour removing all of the remaining mist, then translated the mission information and listed them on a piece of paper.

"A total of 52 missions. If sorted and screened according to the mission plane There you are!"

Gu Nan checked the mission planes information one by one and finally found a suitable target.

The Morningstar Plane was a mid- to large-sized plane with many powerful Dao Lords. Not only did the scale meet Gu Nan's requirements, but the power level was also just right

Just as Gu Nan was about to check the mission content, a figure suddenly broke into the hall. It was precisely Red Tail.

She rushed in without even a greeting, and her expression didn't look very good. As soon as she arrived, she said, "My Lord, the situation has changed"

Gu Nan slowly put away the paper and calmly asked, "Is it Lan Sis situation?"

"Yes." Red Tail gave a small nod. "When our people got there, there were already people making a scene at the Tang family residence"
