Chapter 922: The Sin of Disrespecting the Gods
A few days later.
The order from the deputy tomb master was once again relayed to those below.
Inside the Buddhist temple, Gu Heng and Yue Ru remained in a corner. Wu Zhao stood in front of the Buddha statue and addressed the tomb keepers below, saying, "Gentlemen, the deputy tomb master has given orders that we will depart today."
"And I also received another message..."
"The tomb occupant of the tomb keeper has returned!"
This news naturally caused a great uproar, not only in this Buddhist temple, but also in the other tomb keepers' safe havens.
Although the tomb keepers have a designated tomb owner, many members doubt whether this so-called "tomb owner" truly exists. The deputy tomb owner, at least, has shown his face.
However, the existence of the tomb owner was only known to the deputy tomb owner.
However, the members of the tomb guardians did not think that the tomb master would be a non-existent illusion. After all, the deputy tomb masters were powerful and guarded the remains of the gods. Why would they bother to create a non-existent "tomb master"?
Therefore, the tomb owner does exist, but is too mysterious.
"Not only that."
Wu Zhao also seemed quite excited, pacing back and forth.
"The tomb owner said he has found a way to leave the Epoch Cemetery and escape this prison!"
The temple fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear the dust settling down.
Everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded, clearly thinking they had heard the biggest joke imaginable, yet these words had come from Wu Zhao's mouth...
"Leave?" The voices of the tomb keepers trembled as they asked incredulously, "Master Wu, is this news true?"
"Whether it's genuine or not, I can't say."
"To be honest, if the deputy tomb owner hadn't said it himself, I probably wouldn't have believed such nonsense either."
Wu Zhao had only just learned of this news from his superior, the deputy tomb owner, and in terms of shock, he was no less shocked than his subordinates.
But this was said by the deputy tomb owner himself, so it couldn't be that he was just making fun of them, could it?
We were all prisoners, and while we didn't exactly trust each other, we wouldn't make fun of each other.
Wu Zhao believed this must be true!
"Since the tomb owner has said so, I see no reason to doubt it, so please rest assured!"
"We will naturally give it our all in this mission to exterminate the tomb beasts!" As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below erupted in cheers.
This good news was like a wake-up call, and now everyone is full of energy and can't wait to ruthlessly kill the tomb beasts.
"I didn't expect that the tomb owner would also appear."
"He disappeared for so long, I never imagined he was searching for a way to leave the Epoch Graveyard."
Yue Ru could not hide her shock.
She considered herself a veteran member of the tomb keepers, but she was also very concerned about the mysterious tomb owner. Unexpectedly, the tomb owner, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly revealed such important good news!
Leave the Epoch Cemetery!
Anyone would be excited to hear this!
The tomb's occupant was incredibly powerful and shrouded in mystery. With so many enigmas piled up, even if the story seemed too good to be true, it was probably real. Even if nothing was confirmed yet.
"This is a good thing. The tomb owner has found a way out, and everyone won't be trapped in this cage anymore."
"Why does Miss Yue Ru still look worried?"
Gu Heng sized her up.
Logically speaking, being released from prison should be a great thing, but Yue Ru was half happy and half worried, as if she was still somewhat conflicted about whether to leave the Epoch Cemetery.
But there's definitely nothing to worry about. Staying here too long will surely poison you to death. At least you can have some fun outside.
"Brother Gu, you may not know this, but I have committed a grave crime and have been exiled to the Epoch Cemetery..."
"If I can really leave the Epoch Graveyard, and if it gets out, my master and my family will probably be implicated."
Yue Ru recalled some unpleasant memories and sighed. "What crime did you commit?"
"Disrespectful to the gods."
She sneered, and though she only casually uttered a sentence, Gu Heng could feel her extreme contempt for the gods.
"You disrespect the gods of the immortal civilization?"
I do not respect any gods.
"why?"
"I just feel that the so-called gods of the era are nothing more than that."
Yue Ru curled her lips: "In this world, strength is the most important thing. Although I don't know much, I absolutely believe that even the gods of an era might not be unable to take my place!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng understood perfectly.
However, this mentality is quite normal in theory. After all, so-called gods may just be more powerful individuals. As for being invincible... there are plenty of god corpses in this epoch graveyard. The Mirror Moon Kingdom has also achieved the feat of killing a god.
God is not an invincible being.
But such words might be a bit too "presumptuous" for the gods.
Gu Heng found it absurd. With the rule of respecting martial prowess above all else, how could he be exiled to this place to die just because he spoke of these people who wanted to be kings?
It seems that this immortal civilization is quite significant.
"So you were exiled here?"
Seeing Yue Ru nod, her face still showing disdain, as if someone else had been exiled here, he asked again, "Did the gods themselves condemn you, or did someone use the gods' name to punish you?"
She rolled her eyes: "What's the difference?"
"The entire immortal civilization regards the 'Primordial Dao Ancestor' as the supreme being. Even if he never cares about a nobody like me, there are plenty of sycophants who like to fawn over the god."
After thinking for a moment, Yue Ru shrugged and said, "...if it really has feet."
Her gaze fell on Gu Xitong, who was standing next to Gu Heng.
Yes, it does have feet, and they are especially cute, with small, smooth, white feet that seem to be able to draw water from them.
This divine form is a bit too cute; it doesn't convey the majesty a deity should have.
"It's alright. At worst, we can just keep our distance from the immortal civilization after we get out."
"If even a god of this era would make things difficult for a girl, then it can only mean that this god is indeed not worth revering!"
Gu Heng admired women with strong and unique personalities. To be honest, Yue Ru and his little girl were somewhat similar in personality; they were both quite stubborn, and both were stubborn in a very individualistic way.
"If I can really get out, one day I will storm the Eternal Heaven and face the Primordial Dao Ancestor!" Yue Ru clenched her slender hands and said, word by word.
"Okay, very spirited!"
Gu Heng clicked his tongue in amazement.
Having been imprisoned here for so long without losing this obsession, it seems her disrespect for the gods goes beyond mere disrespect.
maybe.
Will she one day achieve the feat of killing a god?
Who knows.
Gu Heng felt there was hope.
