Chapter 1003: Old Enemies
Gu Heng now knows the origin of the system.
This is certainly not the whole picture, but it's enough.
But what he truly cared about wasn't how technological civilization could exert its power to create its own epochal deities...
For a civilization that doesn't practice cultivation, a grand undertaking like the "God-Making Plan," which is enough to move even a civilization with cultivators, is naturally outrageous and insane. But that's not his main concern.
Why should he care about technological civilization and create gods? He's not a part of technological civilization anyway.
Although he was curious, Gu Heng was unwilling to let curiosity hinder or affect his thinking at this moment.
"You want to know the truth?" Gu Xitong smiled, her petite figure radiating an invisible pressure that made Gu Heng inexplicably nervous.
"Of course I do."
"I went through so much trouble to bring you here. Even if the final result is not what I want, at least let me die with a full stomach."
Gu Heng couldn't wait.
If the system is the god of technological civilization, then what she went through later, Gu Heng only knew a tiny bit about from his fellow inmates in the Epoch Cemetery.
She was stolen by the Great Enemy of the Epoch not long after she was created.
It was stolen by a madman and never heard from again.
But the result was on him.
"The truth is actually not that interesting." As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xitong's expression became subtle.
Looking at her expression, Gu Heng inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine...
He knew that this was probably "divine power".
The "divinity" that essentially crushes all living beings, making them unable to resist.
I didn't feel any particular pressure, but I just had this feeling.
But Gu Heng was calmer than he had imagined. Perhaps it was because even if he wanted to escape, he might not be able to, so he was somewhat resigned, which gave him the courage to stand in front of her without feeling cold or weak.
It's also possible that he still harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that he and the system still had some old feelings for each other.
It's just that he doesn't dare to think about that "possibility" that even he himself doesn't quite believe.
"You really can't guess?" Gu Xitong sighed.
"I was just as fragile when I was first created, and I still need time to become stronger. But then an uninvited guest broke into our technological civilization. With strength that no one could resist, he ravaged this territory and snatched me from the hands of the great sages..."
"But don't you already know that?"
Hear the words.
Gu Heng closed his eyes in silence in the end.
No matter how absurd or outrageous the possibility, at this moment, he couldn't help but believe it.
"Ah, you guessed it."
Gu Xitong's smile grew even wider.
It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but in any case, Gu Heng now knows the answer to a question he wanted to know: "Who exactly is he?"
Long ago, he knew very well "who he was." His name was Gu Heng, and he had transmigrated to this world. He was a lucky guy with a system. He didn't know why he had transmigrated here, but since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Now that he had a system, he could consider becoming stronger and making great strides in this new world.
How simple.
This is a perfectly fitting and self-consistent set of logic.
Is that really the case?
If even his memories of his past life were altered and so fake as to be unbelievable, then wouldn't all his previous explanations have become a joke?
The great enemy of the era stole Gu Xitong away, but in the end, she ended up with him...
This is a god! Why would the great enemy of the era entrust a god to a nobody?
Then there's no other possibility.
He is the "Great Enemy of the Epoch"! "How is this possible? How could it be me?"
Gu Heng opened his eyes.
He wanted to ask more questions, but the data space that had surrounded him and Gu Xitong had already disappeared.
Gu Xitong was still looking at him, but it wasn't just her gaze that was fixed on her.
There were many people around, keeping their distance from Gu Heng, but everyone was watching him. These people included both men and women, and their ages varied greatly from their appearance. However, they were all dressed in the same black clothing and wore black cloaks, so they did not look like ordinary people.
They all bear the marks of technological modifications.
Everyone's expression and gaze were different, ranging from relief to apprehension to ruthlessness, but none of them were "friendly".
From their expressions, Gu Heng could tell that there was no good relationship between them and him.
Gu Heng didn't need to think too much to know who these guys were. They were the only humans within the pinnacle of technology, the great sages of technological civilization, those thousand invincible brain kings representing the pinnacle of technological civilization's combat power!
And now, they are staring at themselves.
It's like looking at a blood feud you can't have.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems you are all great sages of technological civilization. To be honest, you don't look as imposing as I imagined."
"With so many people surrounding me, they probably think I'm incredibly capable."
Gu Heng's blood had almost cooled down, but his mouth could still utter some witty remarks.
"Your mouth is as unpleasant as ever."
The person who responded was a middle-aged man who looked to be no more than forty or fifty years old. One half of his face clearly showed disgust and fear, while the other half was entirely made of mechanical parts. His hands, though hidden beneath his clothes, were real flesh and blood, and it was unclear what kind of modifications this man had made to himself. "It seems you recognize me, but unfortunately I don't recognize you. I'm sorry."
Gu Heng shrugged.
"...What are you pretending to be stupid for?!"
He roared, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour Gu Heng alive!
"Enough, Great Sage Stoll."
"All of you, please calm down."
Gu Xitong said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the wise men all changed their expressions slightly, but they all restrained their emotions.
"My Lord, I hope you still remember, he was..."
The great sage named Stoll glared at Gu Heng through gritted teeth, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"I know."
Gu Xitong gently stroked her fair and jade-like face, her smile still smooth and gentle: "I understand your feelings, but don't let hatred blind you."
Stoll's eyes seemed to have turned into an endless abyss, and an unsettling and unpleasant aura emanated from his body.
But in the end, he chose to back down.
