I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 842: Multiple Helpers

Chapter 842: Multiple Helpers

Gu Heng now knows that, in this worldview, "God" truly exists.

It's just that you can't see it at all.

He had heard sayings like "Heaven's might is unstoppable" and "Heaven's rules cannot be violated" more than once. Everyone was very secretive about the so-called "Heaven," fearing that they might offend the heavens and suffer a terrible fate.

However, Gu Heng had never seen any abstract concepts like divine might or heavenly rules.

But since others believe it exists, he can't simply believe it doesn't.

Gu Heng sometimes wondered whether that God was a person or some kind of abstract being, invisible and inaudible...

But without a doubt, God is the strongest being in the entire universe.

But this raises a new question: what is this place beyond the universe? Did the universe he traveled to before also have such a "God"...?

Gu Heng only thought about it for a moment and then stopped, after all, who knows the answer?

"Ordinary people..."

The tree keeper fell into a long silence.

He held the sacred tree seed, his mind churning with thoughts, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

My strength is just so-so. The third level of the Origin Realm is indeed quite high, but there are some things that I may not be able to understand even if I reach the fifth level of the Origin Realm, which is the final "Intercepting Heaven".

This is beyond anything he could comprehend at his level.

For example, the tree guardian couldn't understand how the will of Heaven seemed to exist in his eyes; he could change things at will, and Heaven had to go around him...

That's incredible, we can't afford to mess with them.

"I've given you the tree seeds too. Now you don't need to guard my yard every day, right?"

Gu Heng didn't know if the seed could satisfy this guy of unknown origin.

But he really didn't want another person guarding under the tree in his yard; it was too eerie. Besides, this was his and Qin Yiyao's little nest, their shared "home"!

If any new people are to be added here, the little girl's attitude is also very important. Gu Heng doesn't make decisions unilaterally!

"This item is too valuable; I cannot accept it."

The tree guardian breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the seed back.

The Seven Realms Sacred Tree is arguably the most precious natural treasure in the endless void. Even with his strength at the third level of the Origin Realm, he wouldn't dare accept such a thing. Who knows how heavy the karmic entanglements would be?

"It's nothing valuable, just accept it. It's just a seed."

Seeing that he was deliberately refusing, Gu Heng became anxious.

How can this thing be considered precious?

He got it directly from the system store, and he could buy it without any restrictions!

If I wanted to, I could easily plant the entire ancient wilderness outside the desolate city with the Seven Realms Sacred Trees.

"If that's the case, then I won't refuse anymore. But there's a trade-off, and I can't accept this without a reason."

The tree guardian accepted the seed, but then changed the subject, saying, "I have no treasures to offer you, only my meager body and cultivation. If you do not mind, I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"

Serving such a powerful figure wouldn't be beneath one's dignity. In any case, when traveling, one should know that there are always people more capable than oneself, and the stronger one becomes, the more one understands the infallible principle of these eight words.

Now that I am no longer bound by any constraints, and I no longer need to guard the sacred tree, and I even have the opportunity to plant one myself and watch it grow and bear fruit, isn't this more enjoyable and comfortable than before?

"Well, there's no need for me to serve you like a dog or a horse..."

Gu Heng pondered for a moment. He had also used his "omniscient perspective" to look at this person. His name was simply "The Tree Guardian," and the threat was negligible. However, he was quite strong now, so the fact that this Tree Guardian couldn't beat him didn't mean he was too weak to be of any use.

But how did he manage to gain another subordinate so easily?

He didn't like encountering such unexpected situations; after all, it was too cheap to acquire a subordinate with just a seed.

but.

Now is precisely the time when he needs manpower. The little girl made a solemn promise to help him find all the fragments of the world, but Gu Heng was still worried that she wouldn't have enough manpower. Even if he mobilized all the acquaintances he knew before, he was afraid it would still be insufficient.

"But my apprentice will need your help."

Gu Heng pointed him in the right direction.

"Go to the Central Plains Dynasty and meet the Empress. She is my only disciple, and she is currently helping me with a major matter. If you want to repay my kindness, then go and help her."

Hear.

The tree guardian immediately collected the seeds, and resolutely bowed deeply, saying, "I would gladly die for it!"

"Oh right, others can't not know your name. If they don't remember your name, then you might as well just call yourself 'Old Tree' from now on."

"Anyway, you seem to have a really good connection with trees."

Gu Heng suggested, "Old Tree... well, I think your suggestion is excellent."

“I will set off immediately to see your apprentice.”

The tree guardian—who would later become the "old tree"—carefully collected the seeds and turned to leave.

However, after he had been gone for a while, Gu Heng felt that he had forgotten something.

think carefully.

He didn't ask his own name once from beginning to end!

Is it that Old Tree was just too dense to ask, or that he thought asking someone's name was pointless?

It's hard to say, but Gu Heng was too lazy to chase after him and tell him his name.

"Owner."

Xiao Bai came up from behind.

"Hmm?" "There's something you need to know. I don't know the details, but it doesn't seem like a small matter."

Xiao Bai's expression was particularly solemn, even showing a hint of panic. Gu Heng had never seen such an expression on his face before. His pet helper had always been calm and composed, and it seemed that nothing could frighten him like this.

It seems something really big has happened.

"You said."

Gu Heng also became serious, and Xiao Bai waved his hand, calling over the other little dragon that was doing housework.

When Sheng Shen arrived before Gu Heng, he was still trembling with fear, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Although he had gained a good understanding of his ancestor's temperament, the nature of a strong person could never be judged in a single instance, and he might incur the other party's displeasure at any moment.

“Repeat everything you just said to me to my master!” Little White said, hands on her hips.
