Chapter 1076: Concept
"What's so surprising about that?"
Gu Xitong didn't hesitate to pour cold water on Gu Heng.
"You don't think that something that can extract divine authority without revealing any physical form is something easy to deal with, do you?"
"...Tsk, it was much more reassuring to live without knowing anything back then."
Gu Heng also fell silent.
You can probably understand it by thinking about it.
She never jokes about danger.
The seven supreme gods of the civilization had their power seized without any resistance. Since the other party could arbitrarily manipulate even the power of gods, it was perfectly reasonable for Gu Xitong, who was already a "god," to worry that she and the technological civilization would also perish as a result.
He wasn't unaware that the system had warned of danger, but such danger had never actually materialized. After a moment's reflection, he realized that his journey had been relatively smooth, and while it might be described as fraught with peril, it wasn't entirely so.
Over time, Gu Heng began to feel that his caution was unnecessary. At most, he was on tenterhooks for a long time, but in the end, everything was fine and he even gained a lot.
This is basically the case every time.
It's only because the dangers he faces each time are significantly greater that he continues to maintain a cautious approach.
Otherwise, he would have become incredibly arrogant long ago.
But this time it seems really different.
"Why don't you tell me first what your conclusion that needs to be verified is?"
Gu Heng scratched his head: "For example, what exactly is this 'source of concepts,' or who was the mastermind behind the almost-killing me?"
In fact, apart from these two, he didn't care much about anything else.
If the combined attack of the seven gods failed to gain any advantage from him, and even nearly cost them their lives, yet he wasn't instantly killed by the mastermind behind the scenes and still had a chance to escape and go into hiding...
Gu Heng felt that the possibility of the Source of Concepts not falling into the hands of the other party was very high!
Although it may not be in his possession, he probably only thought about hiding it well and not letting others get it, which was considered a victory.
In addition, the sooner the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes is found out, the sooner Gu Heng can get rid of his passive position.
They might not even know they're still alive.
"The conclusion is simple: there is a problem with 'all the heavens and myriad worlds'."
Gu Xitong said.
"what?"
Gu Heng knew what he had heard and immediately realized what he had heard, then felt a chill run down his spine.
"Wait, let me sort this out a bit. You mean the mastermind is the world itself?"
"How did you come to this conclusion?"
Gu Heng's eyelids twitched violently.
Perhaps Gu Xitong's conclusion was too shocking, but he didn't find it too outrageous. For some reason, he seemed to be thinking about accepting the conclusion.
"You haven't fully understood what I mean. How much do you know about the myriad realms?"
Gu Xitong countered with a question.
This immediately stumped Gu Heng.
He seems to have absolutely no understanding of what this so-called 'myriad worlds' are all about.
Gu Heng had always regarded this place as a super-sized lower-dimensional source world. In any case, there was not much difference between this place and the lower-dimensional world, except that this place was much larger, so large that it had almost no boundaries, and the biodiversity was extremely amazing. In essence, this place was no different from the lower-dimensional world in his memory.
This is a vast universe, a place where the living dwell and the dead rest.
Gone.
What else?
"There are many places in the myriad worlds, or in the 'phenomenal world' as described by scientific civilization, that cannot be described by common sense."
"For example, the location of the boundary, the essential source of many strange phenomena, etc."
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng frowned: "But the myriad worlds themselves haven't been fully explored yet, so what's so incomprehensible?"
The vastness of the heavens and myriad realms is beyond anyone's comprehension.
No one believes that the myriad realms are infinitely vast and must have a clear boundary. It's just that the distance of that boundary is too far, and it can even be said to be constantly changing. It's not that there aren't powerful and meddlesome people who want to explore it for fun, but no one has ever seen that boundary.
Everyone felt that they were not strong enough and had not gone far enough.
Moreover, this is a vast world that encompasses everything and contains all things, so logically, nothing should be surprising.
"You remember the Eternal Beast, right?"
Gu Xitong suddenly said.
"Of course I remember, how could I forget that thing?" Gu Heng pouted.
The last time he saw the beast tide composed of the Eternal Beasts, which was also the first time he saw it, it left a deep impression on him.
But when she mentioned the Eternal Beast, Gu Heng's eyes widened suddenly.
and many more!
The Eternal Beast is not a living thing, but an inextinguishable 'natural phenomenon'!
If it is a natural phenomenon, then isn't it related to the myriad realms themselves?
"Hmm, it seems you learn quickly too."
Seeing that Gu Heng had immediately understood her meaning, Gu Xitong was quite satisfied.
"wrong."
“Last time I killed three people… not people, but eternal beasts that had grown into human form. But since eternal beasts are a natural phenomenon, how could they be so similar to humans?”
Gu Heng noticed the problem.
No matter what, the Eternal Beast Tide can be considered a natural phenomenon, but it's not right that the Eternal Beasts are starting to grow in the shape of humans, is it?
"The foundation of the existence of all the heavens and myriad worlds is countless 'concepts' and phenomena composed of concepts."
"Since the Eternal Beast is a natural phenomenon, what do you think is causing it?"
It all comes down to this.
Even if Gu Heng is slow-witted, he should have figured it out by now.
"concept?"
"Is the 'concept' that permeates all the heavens and myriad worlds the mastermind behind it all?"
Gu Heng repeated it in disbelief.
In the eyes of cultivators, concepts are a powerful force at an extremely high level and extremely difficult to comprehend. Although concepts have an influence wherever one is, it is still very difficult to comprehend the power that one can control.
Anyone who can grasp even a tiny bit of insight from among countless "concepts" can bring about a qualitative change!
Think about it now.
The existence of epochal deities is inherently related to concepts, isn't it?
Yue Ru had told him that there were three types of epochal deities: conceptual deities, crowned deities, and supreme deities of civilization.
Each deity actually represents a "concept".
The supreme god of a civilization represents a cultivation system formed by its own civilization, such as the path of immortality, Buddhism, or martial arts. It is deeply bound to the civilization, and it can be said that "the path of immortality" and "Buddhism" have become concepts.
The explanation of the crowned gods is unclear; it is only said that the divine position can be inherited.
but……
Concept God.
The deities represented by those eternal and everlasting "concepts".
For example, time, space, light, darkness, etc., are “concepts” that will inevitably continue to exist in the past, present, and future, representing countless phenomena in the myriad worlds!
Apart from Yue Ru once explaining things to him, Gu Heng had almost never heard anyone mention the existence of the Concept God.
It's as if they don't exist.
But from another perspective, isn't it because they are always there that there is absolutely no need to mention them?
