Chapter 1008: Send them away immediately
Another risk is the identity of "Gu Heng".
He caused a great deal of trouble and had a lot of enemies; you could say that almost the entire world was against him!
If, during this process of reconstructing one's understanding, one accidentally becomes famous and catches the attention of a powerful figure who values promising talents, and that powerful figure happens to have a grudge against the Great Enemy of the Epoch...
That's it, they're doomed.
We can ignore those small fry, but we can't afford to provoke the biggest enemies!
For example, those seven epochal deities.
Heaven knows how many gods he has sworn enemies with, but those seven gods are the most renowned. Even among gods, there are differences, and they undoubtedly stand at the pinnacle of all gods.
Tsk, now that I think about it...
Gu Heng couldn't even fathom how arrogant and powerful he had been before, daring to challenge the gods all by himself.
Who gave you the courage?
He certainly didn't have the ability to oppose the gods right now, and if those gods found out his whereabouts, Gu Heng didn't know how he would die.
"Therefore, I have to be careful."
"It can't be too flashy, it can't be famous, and it even has to be done under a pseudonym or with a disguise..."
Gu Heng meticulously analyzed all the key points and crucial aspects of the matter.
Going high-profile and defying the heavens is out of the question. Keeping a low profile and acting discreetly is a bit stifling, but I can't expose myself just because I feel stifled; that wouldn't be worth it. "There will be a lot of trouble, but I have to do it."
"I've been fooled for too long, and I can't stay fooled any longer!"
Gu Heng was agitated by his concerns.
Ignorant recklessness is risky, but at this moment, bearing the identity of "Great Enemy of the Epoch" that could bring annihilation at any time, any attempt to reassess one's own strength is itself the greatest risk.
But sitting idly by and waiting for your enemies to find you one day by following a thread you haven't completely cleared... that would be real trouble!
Even a clumsy method is still a method.
Gu Heng felt he should at least understand whether his current punch was only enough to kill a mosquito or enough to smash through the Star Sea.
"I will find a way to gradually test out my current abilities."
"Anyway, those great sages don't like me, so I think there's no need for me to stay here. I won't add any new problems to technological civilization."
"what do you say?"
The system still needs to guide him, and Gu Heng will need to know her opinion.
Gu Xitong looked at him silently, data flowing silently in her icy blue eyes, as if calculating countless possibilities.
Finally, she nodded slightly: "Since you have made your decision, I will not interfere, but there is no need for an alias or disguise."
"After all, you have lost your past memories and cognition, and many of your behaviors will become very different. People who can determine your identity based solely on your appearance and name are definitely a very small minority."
"Furthermore, you were not alone to begin with. I am just one of your most important allies, and your followers have not been completely wiped out."
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's eyes lit up. That's right!
He has a lot of followers!
The Great Enemy of the Era is not fighting alone. Although he is said to be hostile to the whole world, there are actually quite a few people who are willing to join him in fighting against the whole world.
It just goes to show that birds of a feather flock together.
Those followers are now hiding everywhere. Without their leader, any attempts to cause trouble will only result in them being killed.
However, Gu Heng only had a fleeting idea in his mind and did not have any plans for his followers.
He himself has no memory or awareness of what he once was, and he can no longer recognize those followers who were once crazy with him. Even if they could recognize him, it would be of no use.
The current "Enemy of the Era" is just a confused and helpless nobody, unsuitable to be a leader.
Gu Heng was also worried that if he blindly showed himself, even if he was recognized and found his organization, everyone would still have to keep a low profile in the end...
No need.
It would be better if he were alone.
Gu Heng knew he had a responsibility to his followers. They had been willing to follow him, but had ended up in this state, and he couldn't just sit idly by.
Before recognizing his true strength, going back and rallying others will not bring about any change in the situation.
"Wait, you just said..."
Gu Heng frowned, as if he had grasped a key point.
What does it mean to be "one of the most important allies"?
He understood the difference between followers and allies. Followers, in other words, are subordinates, but allies...
If I understand correctly, allies should be on equal footing.
At the very least, they must be someone he once respected for their strength, right? To be an ally of a great enemy of an era, the standard must be someone like Gu Xitong, a "god," or someone strong enough to fight against a god!
"How many allies like you do I have left?"
Gu Heng looked suspicious.
“I don’t know the specifics, but I’m not your only ally. In fact, you could say I’m just the last ally you turned to after you fled for your life.”
“You only told me that those allies were powerful, trusted by you, and worthy of your life.”
Gu Xitong dropped another bombshell, leaving Gu Heng speechless for a moment.
He had at least several allies like her in his life.
Does this mean that even the gods of different eras are not a united front, and some have even allied with him in the past, planning to overthrow the entire world? Could it be...?
Could it be that the reason he has the courage to overturn the entire universe is because he has so many allies supporting him?!
"wrong!"
"Thinking about it this way, there are still some inconsistencies and illogical points."
Gu Heng shook his head vigorously.
Since he has allies, and he has already declared war on the entire universe, why didn't those allies stand up for him and fight alongside him?
One against seven, how outnumbered and outmatched!
Even if it's two against seven or three against seven!
Where have all our allies gone?
Based on what Gu Heng had heard about his past, the Great Enemy of the Epoch had always fought alone, and no one had ever truly stepped forward to lend him a hand. The so-called "deep trust" sounded rather jarring.
To put it in the worst-case scenario, all his allies would turn against him and stab him in the back, leaving him isolated and outnumbered, fighting seven against one, and ultimately resulting in a defeat cutscene.
However, this doesn't match Gu Xitong's explanation. He was trying to escape to the "past" when he temporarily took her away, formed an alliance with her, and had the system guide him back slowly...
That being the case.
He has already suffered a defeat, yet he still insists that his allies are trustworthy?
There must be more to the story.
"It's time for you to go."
While Gu Heng was racking his brains, Gu Xitong gave him a nudge.
"Huh?" Gu Heng came back to his senses.
They discovered that a beam of light was already connected to him, and at the same time, Xiaobai, Yuezi, and Ling's figures suddenly appeared in the beam of light.
The light suddenly intensified, and Gu Heng's figure instantly became blurred.
"Wait, I haven't finished asking yet, why are you already—"
Before the words had even finished, several figures had already completely disappeared from the Crystal Hall.
After Gu Heng was teleported away, the terrifying conceptual distortion that swirled around Gu Xitong slowly subsided.
"It almost turned out to be a disaster."
Gu Xitong breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon closer inspection, fragments were constantly falling from her fair and smooth body, and the cracks were shocking to behold.
The divine body, created to bear the will of the gods, is now nearly destroyed.
