Chapter 1067: News of the Disciple
While it's painful to spend so much money, everyone is satisfied with the results achieved.
The biggest worry is that you're willing to invest, but others aren't willing to sell.
and.
Whether the act of plundering the scattered legacies of the Great Enemy of the Epoch is done openly or secretly, it will inevitably be noticed by those with ulterior motives. This will pique people's interest in their purpose, making them wonder why the Myriad Dynasties Civilization has begun collecting the legacies of the Great Enemy of the Epoch.
If it's someone you don't get along with who tries to interfere, that's not the most troublesome thing.
The most troublesome thing is that the rebels hear the news and become alert, so their plans will also die in the womb, and they may even be outmaneuvered!
"I understand what you are thinking, but whoever dares to obstruct my Wanchao Civilization's plans will not escape unscathed."
"If other civilizations feel that they have a right to interfere in the affairs of my Wanchao civilization, then let them try."
Gu Ce didn't seem to care that much.
King Zhu Lie and Goddess Bai Wu were eager to know where his confidence came from.
“Let’s do it this way. Since the Baoque Dynasty claims to have gathered all the wealth in the world, now is the time for them to contribute. Other dynasties should also do their part. This is a problem that the entire civilization of ten thousand dynasties must take seriously.”
"Your Majesty the Holy King, Your Highness the Goddess..."
Gu Ce looked at the two people in front of him: "I believe that the Zhu Fang Divine Kingdom and the Bai Wu Divine Kingdom will do their best, right?"
Hear the words.
Both of them tensed up instantly, and finally took a deep breath and nodded.
The plan was certainly outrageous, and it didn't sound like a well-thought-out and careful scheme. However, Gu Ce's renowned reputation was beyond their ability to question. Although everyone was here representing the Yun Dynasty's power, Gu Ce was still worthy of their respect in terms of methods and strength.
Gu Ce, a seasoned veteran who survived the great war that swept across all civilizations and even used the opportunity to rise to the highest realm, was even more difficult to deal with than those dynasty lords who were obsessed with becoming gods.
Because no one knows what he's really up to.
"Very good, I look forward to news from you two."
Gu Ce waved his hand, and Zhu Lie Saint King and Bai Wu Goddess left without lingering.
So, only he and Gu Heng remained there.
"Grand Preceptor, shall I go back and study the fragments of memory you gave me?"
Gu Heng hesitated.
He didn't want to leave yet. Who knew when he would have another chance to be alone like this? He also wanted to ask about the defection of the Nine Heavens Maiden Qing Yixuan. Since the little girl was involved with Qing Yixuan, he could only ask Gu Ce.
Anyway, Xiaoyao Lue's initial purpose in bringing him to the secret meeting was to give him a chance to ask Gu Ce.
Now that the secret meeting is over, Gu Heng finds himself burdened with an inexplicable yet heavy responsibility, but he cannot forget the important matter at hand.
As for asking such a taboo question, which the Azure Ancient Divine Kingdom considers a great disgrace...
If it weren't for Gu Ce coming up with such a scheme and deliberately making him play a key role in it, Gu Heng definitely wouldn't have planned to ask so directly, otherwise the consequences of saying the wrong thing would definitely be unpleasant.
"...Mr. Gu, is there anything else you'd like to ask me?"
Gu Ce was quite experienced; he seemed to see right through Gu Heng's thoughts.
Those deep, calm eyes, seemingly able to see into people's hearts, fell on Gu Heng, carrying an invisible pressure. The solemn atmosphere of the previous secret meeting had not completely dissipated, and now that only the two of them remained, the atmosphere seemed somewhat subtle.
Gu Heng composed himself and stopped beating around the bush: "Grand Preceptor Gu Ce, I do have a question for you, concerning that defector, the Nine Heavens Maiden."
"Mr. Gu is very interested in this matter?"
Gu Ce showed no surprise on his face, as if he had expected Gu Heng to ask about this matter.
Gu Heng had already prepared his words: "I've heard that there are rebels from the underworld behind this matter, and the Grand Preceptor's plan just now is closely related to the 'Great Enemy of the Era' that I'm going to play. Know yourself and know your enemy, I also want to know about those rebels."
Whether what he said was true or false, Gu Heng himself was not sure.
But he did want to understand those followers who had been accused of crimes, and whether they would still remain loyal to him given the opportunity.
"This matter concerns the face and foundation of the divine kingdom, and also involves rebels from the dark realm. His Majesty the Divine Lord has temporarily broken through his seclusion for this purpose..."
Gu Ce stared at Gu Heng for a few seconds before looking away, his tone carrying a hint of profoundness: "But actually, it's not that complicated."
"It's simply that the prince took something she shouldn't have taken, or rather, learned some secrets she shouldn't have known, and those rebels took advantage of the situation, offering her protection and a future she couldn't refuse."
"future?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow: "I understand the need for protection, but what about future prospects?"
It wasn't that he wanted to dampen the spirits of his own people, but what future could a group of rebels who had been beaten into submission have?
But Gu Ce did not answer, and stopped talking about the traitorous descendant of the gods. Instead, he mentioned information that made Gu Heng's heart skip a beat.
"Since Mr. Gu is already involved, it's alright to share some information that is not of great importance."
"Not long ago, I took in a disciple from an immortal civilization by chance. This girl's talent is so outstanding that she can be called a prodigy. Even in the entire Wanchao civilization, it would be difficult to find another like her among her peers!"
A strong premonition surged in Gu Heng's heart, but he forcibly suppressed it and listened calmly.
Gu Ce continued, "Although she came to the Wanchao Civilization to cultivate the Way of the Dynasty, she also had other purposes. I admired her talent, and when her defection was exposed, I went with the flow and let her join the defection team."
"Consider him my informant."
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng took a deep breath.
Can’t be wrong!
Judging from this description, it must be his little girl!
"His Highness's purpose is also to reunite with a group of exiles who have recently escaped from the Epoch Cemetery," Gu Ce said slowly.
Gu Heng's expression shifted.
I never expected to hear news about an acquaintance here!
Ever since he escaped the Epoch Cemetery, he and the group of tomb keepers have gone their separate ways. The last time he heard news of them was before they went to the technological civilization. It seems that the tomb keepers' journey was smoother than he had imagined.
Now, we've all ended up at the same destination, albeit by different paths.
Coincidence?
Gu Heng just couldn't understand how Qin Yiyao could possibly be connected to the prisoners in the Epoch Cemetery.
The Epoch Cemetery hasn't had any new faces for a long time, and the newest one is still him. But besides him, who else is related to Qin Yiyao?
Surely she doesn't think she's part of that group of exiles, does she?
That doesn't make sense either. If she was looking for him, why would Qin Yiyao actively cut off contact with Xiaobai and Su Jinxi instead of promptly sending out the latest information?
