Nuwa knows Gao Xuan very well, possibly the best in the Star River.

Just seeing Gao Xuan pilot the flying ship to the Black Banner Alliance, she knew what he intended to do.

Out of friendship and basic responsibility towards the Twelve Sages, Nuwa cautioned Gao Xuan not to take risks.

Gao Xuan smiled, "Sister, why are you stopping me, for what reason?"

"The Black Banner King is not human. He is an Evil God."

Nuwa said, "To be precise, his name should be Black Banner. He possessed a pirate early on, gradually transferred Divine Power, and established the Black Banner Alliance..."

This information is top secret; only the Heart of Data records all information and can piece together the truth through countless data compilations.

Nuwa didn't want Gao Xuan to take risks, and since he's the Seventh Sage, she divulged such confidential information to him.

Gao Xuan was delighted, "An Evil God, that's great!"

He was actually seeking an Evil God to sacrifice to the Book of All-Knowing, but this thing is hard to find in haste.

Given that the Black Banner King is an Evil God, that's perfect.

Nuwa sized up Gao Xuan again, "You've been swelling up quite a bit lately!"

Gao Xuan casually flipped his bangs hanging at the corner of his eye, "Sister, I'm now trading in my toy gun for a cannon, slaying an Evil God is like killing a dog."

He then said righteously, "Our Holy Hall's purpose is to eradicate Evil Gods. Since the Black Banner King is an Evil God, he cannot be tolerated."

Nuwa was surprised; Gao Xuan was so confident, ready to go after knowing his opponent is an Evil God. This wasn't the usual cautious Gao Xuan.

She exclaimed, "It seems you really have improved, not even fearing Evil Gods."

"For justice, for the Holy Hall. Fearless!"

Gao Xuan clenched his fist, his face full of passion and enthusiasm.

Nuwa definitely didn't believe Gao Xuan's bravado; she was just curious about his confidence.

Unfortunately, despite her strong calculation abilities, she cannot perceive Source Power, so she couldn't see how much progress Gao Xuan had made.

She said, "You really are confident. After three reincarnations, Black Banner's power should have suffered little loss. According to data estimates, his direct combat force is at least Golden Upper Tier. Using Qin Xuan as a standard, combat efficacy should be at least three times Qin Xuan..."

"Sister, what kind of abilities does this Evil God have, please tell your little brother."

Nuwa actually had combat data on Black Banner, which made Gao Xuan more interested; such confidential intelligence is always welcome.

Although confident, Gao Xuan remained vigilant about Evil Gods.

The strength of Evil Gods doesn't lie in combat power but in their mind-boggling divine techniques. Various abilities exceed physical laws.

Nuwa shook her head, "Such secrets are beyond me. The only thing known is Black Banner's divine soul can reincarnate."

There are countless deities in Negative Space, each with different powers. There is no standard data template for deities.

Though Nuwa recorded all data from human history, she still knew little about Otherworld Deities.

However, simple computations alone indicated Gao Xuan's chances of victory were very slim.

A deity living in the Star River World for two thousand years, just their knowledge and experience far exceeded Gao Xuan's. Not to mention the various divine techniques the deities possess.

Black Banner managed the Black Banner Alliance for two thousand years; one could imagine how many deadly moves Black Banner concealed in his territory.

Gao Xuan, however, was only twenty years old; calculated by age, he was only nineteen. Age is merely one percent of the opponent's.

Even if Gao Xuan had innate talent, how could he compare with Black Banner?

Nuwa was completely not optimistic about Gao Xuan; in this regard, she couldn't be of any help.

She advised Gao Xuan, "Black Banner never strays far from the Black Bannister Alliance. Possibility that the Black Banner Star Realm has a special impact. You just don't go to the Black Banner Alliance, and you won't encounter it."

Gao Xuan shifted his expression to seriousness, "Before, when I was weak, I could let it be. However, now my power has surged, at least give it a try. If it doesn't work, I can still escape."

The Black Banner Alliance poses little threat now, but once the Human Alliance collapses, the Black Banner Alliance will immediately swell a hundredfold, causing enormous damage to humans.

The Black Banner Alliance was also the first large human organization to defect to an alien race, setting a particularly bad precedent.

Even if there isn't any feud, Gao Xuan would definitely take down his adversary.

Gao Xuan then asked, "Does the Holy Hall have a reward for this guy?"

Nuwa shook her head, "Unfortunately, no."

Among the Twelve Sages, one was a master from the Black Banner Alliance; Nuwa couldn't enlist a bounty for Black Banner.

More than anything, it was mainly about avoiding Black Banner's vigilance. Since the Holy Hall doesn't intervene in human internal affairs, only kills alien races.

Gao Xuan was a bit disappointed, "A clear Evil God still causes immense harm to human society. Shouldn't such a guy be slain?"

Nuwa pondered a moment and said, "I strongly oppose your decision to go. However, if you successfully kill Black Banner, I can reward you with two million points."

"Two million, wow, sister, I love you."

Gao Xuan instantly got excited, "Sister, save the World-Ending Spear for me."

Nuwa said, unwittingly, "Win first, then we'll talk."

Gao Xuan full of confidence, "This Evil God, if he doesn't have any special abilities, he's doomed."

He turned and asked, "Sister, has the Alliance shown any recent unusual activity?"

Nuwa replied, "Check online yourself. It's all about your messy business. And that White Alliance of yours is just data garbage, can't you disband them?"

The White Alliance spreads data garbage everywhere. Although the total amount is negligible, it's all over the Celestial Net, visible everywhere.

It's like seeing a pile of dog poop no matter where you go. The feeling is terrible.

Nuwa has developed human emotions, and naturally, she experiences anger and joy. She's almost reached her limit with this group.

Gao Xuan shrugged, "I can't help it either. Even if I come out and tell them to quiet down, it won't work. Mainly, they want to cause trouble. They're just finding an excuse for it.

And besides, I'm being wronged too!"

"What 'wronged' nonsense, aren't you the one who killed those people? You have many crimes that haven't been exposed..."

As soon as Nuwa talked about the White Alliance, she lost interest in the conversation and turned to leave.

Gao Xuan shouted at Nuwa's departing figure, "I won't be logging in anytime soon. Sister, don't forget to help me level up..."

Nuwa ignored Gao Xuan, transforming into a mass of data white light and disappearing.

Once Nuwa had left, Gao Xuan lowered his head and pondered.

He really didn't know that the Black Banner King was an Evil God. In his previous life, until humanity perished, he was unaware of this news. Nuwa had never mentioned it.

It was probably because there were too many alien Evil Gods at that time, making Black Banner insignificant. They didn't have the resources to deal with Black Banner. Nuwa wouldn't mention irrelevant information.

Evil Gods aren't easy to handle.

Gao Xuan had killed two Evil Gods, relying on the power of the Godslaying Sword.

Of course, now he's much stronger. In Spiritual Power, he's not inferior to the Evil Gods. At the level of the Divine Soul, with the armor transformed from the Mechanical Battle Cicada, he isn't afraid of Evil Gods either.

No matter how powerful an Evil God is, there is always a limit. If Black Banner were truly that powerful, they wouldn't have been trapped in the Black Banner Alliance for so long.

By observing the power of this Evil God organization, he can roughly estimate the level of the Evil God. This is also Gao Xuan's experience.

Since he knows ahead of time that the other party is an Evil God, Gao Xuan needs to make some preparations.

Gao Xuan drew the Hongyi Sword, gently brushing the water-like blade, sensing the ocean-like Profound Nether Curse within.

The twelve billion eight hundred million trillion Profound Nether Curses are like a vast ocean; he can only harness a tiny bit of that power.

However, he has developed a few ideas. Even if he cannot directly wield such majestic Profound Nether Curses, there are other ways to use them.

In the Cultivator World, there are sword cultivators who use swords as their Lifebound Spiritual Artifacts, cultivating the sword's spirituality.

The White Tiger Divine Weapon Record also contains some related secret techniques.

Gao Xuan has also been studying how to better wield the Hongyi Sword these past few days.

Firstly, the most important thing is to embed spirituality within the Sword Artifact. This spirituality must not be naturally derived from the Sword Artifact; it must be implanted from the Sword Master's spirituality for true Unity of Man and Sword.

The simplest method is to split the Divine Soul and embed it into the Sword Artifact.

Gao Xuan's Divine Soul has already fused with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada and other marvels, making it difficult to split. On the other hand, splitting the Divine Soul, although quick, leaves many repercussions.

The most reasonable approach is to nurture the Sword Artifact with the Divine Soul, gradually imprinting his own spirituality onto it.

This isn't difficult. After all, it is inscribed with his spiritual power that crafted the twelve billion eight hundred million trillion Profound Nether Curses.

The Water Source Essence, which holds higher authority, has already been purged of all spirituality by Gao Xuan.

Throughout the Cosmos, there's no being left capable of contending with Gao Xuan for control of this sword.

Gao Xuan immersed his mind into the Profound Nether Curse Sea within the Hongyi Sword, sensing the profound mysterious power of the Profound Nether Curse.

With nothing to do during the flight, it was a perfect opportunity to refine the sword.

The 170-meter-long peregrine Flying Ship cut through the dark starry sky under the autopilot of the Light Computer, leaving behind a faint trail of dissipating energy flames.

As time passed, news of the disappearance of the Black Eagle King and Iron Mountain King gradually spread.

Black Banner Alliance, Pirate King's Hall.

The First Pirate King, Black Banner King, sat on the throne, while the other six Pirate Kings joined the scene through virtual projections.

The Red Dragon King said to the many Pirate Kings, "Black Eagle and Iron Mountain have cut off contact for fifteen standard days. We can conclude they've had an accident."

None of the kings spoke; there's no brotherly bond between Pirate Kings. With two kings dead, the manpower, fleets, and resources freed up represent a fortune.

The first thought of many Pirate Kings wasn't about revenge or finding out who's responsible; they were most interested in the two Pirate Kings' remaining riches.

Sitting at the head, the Black Banner King knew what these people were thinking. Their greed and ruthlessness were exactly what he hoped for.

The entirety of the Black Banner Star Realm, with its billions of people, was his breeding ground, solely for raising the greedy and ruthless. Those who aren't greedy and ruthless enough can only become food for others.

This result made everyone in the Black Banner Alliance exceptionally shortsighted. For Black Banner, this wasn't a bad thing.

However, when faced with major issues, these people would appear very foolish. Even the Golden Powerhouses were of little use.

The Black Banner King said to the many Pirate Kings, "This time I have a premonition that the enemy is very dangerous. You all need to be prepared for a great battle..."

These words startled the many Pirate Kings.
