Chapter 1009: After the Finish Line
That conceptual distortion came from the outside.
An unknown entity, stirred by Gu Heng's constantly active thoughts, turned its attention here, penetrating countless defenses of technological civilization and arriving directly at what can be called the safest "holy land" in the entire civilization!
A glance is cast, but only for a fleeting moment.
For Gu Xitong, seizing this brief moment was not difficult. She was created according to the standards of the gods of the era, and naturally possessed the power to be ranked among the gods.
She mobilized almost all her power in an instant to construct a massive cognitive distortion stance, but she could barely withstand the other party's "gaze"!
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, interrupting Gu Heng's thoughts and sending him away.
otherwise.
What follows will likely be more than just simple "gazing".
If it's just "gazing," she still can't completely resist it in her haste. What will happen when the power that goes beyond "gazing" comes down on her?
She quickly considered many possibilities.
"It seems I shouldn't let you think too much."
Gu Xitong sighed softly. On her nearly shattered body, dozens of broken cracks were covered by a faint light, and the terrifying injuries were slowly being repaired and restored.
This body still needs further strengthening.
Although it is already considered the pinnacle of technological civilization, both in terms of its physical form and the "god" it contains... it is still not enough.
After Gu Xitong's probing earlier, she knew that she was far from adequate, and that this body absolutely could not participate in the anticipated conflicts during the foreseeable upheaval.
We need to prepare early.
Gu Heng left.
Several great sages quickly entered the Crystal Hall.
Stoll, still in the lead, stared at Gu Xitong with a somewhat uneasy expression, while the other great sages followed behind him.
The great sages also have a dual gap in strength and intellect. Those standing in front of her now are the absolute core of the "God-Making Project" and the leaders among the great sages.
Gu Xitong glanced at him silently, then said in a way that left no room for doubt: "Let bygones be bygones for now."
"Technological civilization should look to the future, not dwell on the past." Her words were also heard by other great thinkers.
"Lord God, did he hurt you?"
Stoll didn't care much about wiping out old grudges; his attention was entirely focused on Gu Xitong. Although there were no marks on the smooth, pristine body of the young girl, he could still see some clues!
This body, which carries the will of the gods, was created with much of his effort; it can be said to be a crystallization of his hard work.
The once-powerful Mirror Moon Kingdom perished because of this.
What truly shook Stoll was not that anyone had offended their gods, but that none of the thousand great sages outside had noticed anything amiss!
Even if gods were to clash, they should be able to sense it!
"It has nothing to do with him. He and I are already allies; he wouldn't harm me." As for why she was injured, it was actually related to Gu Heng...
But there's absolutely no need to mention this. Gu Xitong doesn't even need to analyze it to know that such words are detrimental to the unity of technological civilization, and the great sages absolutely cannot disagree with her on Gu Heng's issue.
"If it wasn't him, then who could it be?"
The other wise men looked at each other in bewilderment.
Gu Xitong said calmly, "I don't know the other party's identity. You can see for yourselves."
She raised her hand, and the data stream quickly entered the mind of the great sage. In just an instant, their faces turned extremely pale, and they even staggered a few steps, almost unable to maintain their balance!
The "gaze" they had just witnessed replayed in their minds, a thousand times different from what Gu Xitong had experienced!
That distorted viewpoint put immense pressure on these top-tier individuals in technological civilization, and this was only after it had been weakened. If its full power were unleashed, even these great sages might not be able to save their lives.
"What just happened?"
Gu Xitong said calmly, "I just sensed that something was casting its gaze upon the technological civilization, penetrating its many defensive barriers, and landing here..."
Hear the words.
Several great sages' expressions changed drastically!
The pinnacle of technology is the safest place in the entire technological civilization. It is constructed with countless top-level technologies and layers of defenses, which even the most outstanding conceptual realm giants among cultivators cannot break through silently!
If it's a god...
While no deity has personally come to test these defenses, technological civilizations are capable of killing and creating gods, so resisting divine power is not impossible.
But if all defenses were breached silently, how can that be explained? "There's no need for speculation; it's just that my body isn't strong enough."
Gu Xitong's calm words dispelled the panic of the great sages. At this moment, these wise men of technological civilization could not be allowed to fall into fear.
"Isn't it enough?"
Stoll's expression hardened.
"But this is the divine body we created by exhausting all our resources."
The plan to create a god is more difficult than killing a god. Killing a god is far less difficult than creating one. But Stoll couldn't guarantee that they had truly created a "god" rather than a life form that they didn't understand at all.
This divine body is the ultimate crystallization of level ten technology, a unique creation that utilizes conceptual technology to its fullest extent!
But isn't that enough?
"That's not enough. If a technological civilization wants to survive, it must not stop at the current level ten technology. You still know too little about cause and effect and concepts."
"With me here, I will help you accomplish all of this."
Gu Xitong understood better than they did, and she didn't intend to tell them the truth now and shake their resolve.
The "Level 10 technology" currently possessed by our technological civilization is by no means perfect, and it is not even a complete level of technology. In contrast, Gu Heng once told her that the "Era Gods" are not the most powerful life forms in this phenomenal world.
Isn't that interesting?
Looking back now, I realize how disdainful he used to be of gods.
Thinking back to what she had just experienced, Gu Xitong couldn't help but feel that it made a lot of sense.
……
The light and shadow distorted before his eyes, and the cold crystal palace at the pinnacle of technology vanished in an instant. The next moment, Gu Heng was back in the central hub of the Apocalypse warship. The familiar silver-gray hull and the enormous projection of the starry sea brought a sense of unreal security.
"Oh dear, why did they send me away like that?"
Gu Heng rubbed his temples, which were still throbbing slightly.
The system's actions just now were indeed somewhat abnormal. He still had many questions to ask, but unfortunately Gu Xitong didn't give him the chance. She was in such a hurry, as if she was afraid something might happen to her, that she couldn't wait to kick him out.
Moreover, he has completely parted ways with the system's original entity.
From then on, there would be no more delicate, petite, and realistically tactile girls accompanying me on my journey.
