Chapter 914: Is he that "Gu Heng"?
Yue Ru took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart.
Can't go wrong.
Although she had never seen any god in person, whether it was an eternal god, a conceptual god, or a supreme god of civilization, it was clear that the "girl" standing next to Gu Heng was probably a god!
Aside from gods, only cultivation giants at the Concept Realm are qualified to wield the power of concepts.
but.
The gods of the technological civilization should have been taken away by that "great enemy of the era" long ago, so how could they be in the era graveyard?
Or perhaps, this Gu Heng isn't the fanatical supporter of the "Great Enemy of the Epoch," even going so far as to change his name to match it...?
He is Gu Heng, the one and only Gu Heng, feared even by the gods?!
"Are you OK?"
Gu Heng stared at Yue Ru suspiciously, wondering what had gotten into her that made her suddenly so agitated.
"……fine."
Yue Ru barely managed to suppress the horror in her heart. The girl only glanced at her casually and then looked away, but she really couldn't forget the bone-deep fear she had just felt!
Moreover, what exactly is the background of Gu Heng, who holds the gods in his hands?
If he is truly the enemy of the Epoch, why did he reappear in the Epoch Graveyard after disappearing for so long?
Or……
Was he actually here all along? Lying dormant for so long, with an extraordinary purpose and an unimaginable grand plan?
No, no, no!
My mind is in such a mess, if I keep thinking about it I'll definitely fall into obsession!
Yue Ru quickly cleared her mind of distractions, but the way she looked at Gu Heng had changed.
This "newcomer" is a mysterious character whose origins, identity, and strength are all unknown!
She took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Brother Gu... are you planning to take this person with you out as well?"
Although there are rules for exploring opportunities within the Epoch Cemetery, there are some things that will absolutely not bring any benefit if brought out of the ruins of the civilization to which they belong!
For example, this seemingly harmless girl is actually like a goddess!
There are quite a few idiots among the gravediggers who do these things, and it's only because this "prison" is never short of new recruits, otherwise the gravediggers would have all died out long ago.
"Of course I'll bring her. Oh, by the way, this is Gu Xitong, an acquaintance of mine. Why is she an acquaintance? That's a long story. Miss Yueru, please don't ask if you can."
Gu Heng pulled Gu Xitong in front of him and pinched her soft, icy cheeks.
Gu Xitong even forced a fake smile that sent chills down Yue Ru's spine.
"If you say it's an acquaintance, then it's an acquaintance. I have no objection."
Yue Ru's lips twitched slightly.
She couldn't see through Gu Heng's strength, nor could she see through the girl's strength. There was no way she could possibly overpower a technologically advanced warship, so Yue Ru had no choice but to shut up.
"Tsk, look at how pale you are."
“Miss Yue Ru’s health is not good. We’ve only been traveling for a few days, and we haven’t even fought anything hostile yet, and you’ve already given yourself away.”
Gu Heng saw that Yue Ru was still pale. Although she tried to put on a brave face, her obvious lack of energy and spirit was evident no matter how she tried to hide it.
"You actually dare to..."
Yue Ru was so angry at these words that her internal organs almost shifted.
If he hadn't repeatedly tested her fragile mental defenses, would she have been so terrified?
Based on her experience, every move Gu Heng made after entering the Mirror Moon Heavenly Kingdom ruins would lead to certain death!
In other words, he simply cannot explain it using the "experience" he has figured out on his own.
Otherwise, Yue Ru felt she could die a thousand or eight hundred times today.
"It's alright, take a pill and calm down."
"You're lucky I found my things. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to help you in this situation." Gu Heng had a sudden inspiration and immediately took out a pill he had refined from his system inventory and handed it to Yue Ru.
"I made it myself. It'll have an immediate effect once you eat it."
When he handed her the pill, Yue Ru accepted it without hesitation and ate it immediately.
Who cares? It's just a single pill. I've already consumed quite a few. In the Epoch Graveyard, taking pills can exacerbate conceptual erosion, but without taking them, injuries sometimes won't heal.
Yue Ru will treat this as a treat.
but.
The moment Gu Heng's pill entered her mouth, it instantly transformed into a surge of heat, like a dragon's tail sweeping across her entire body.
Yue Ru's expression changed: "This is..."
She was so shocked that she stood up abruptly!
The pills transformed into streams of energy, seemingly forcibly dispelling the divine concepts that had seeped into her flesh and organs! The concept erosion in the Epoch Graveyard was all-pervasive and like a slow-acting poison, making it extremely difficult to remove. Yue Ru only knew that among the tomb guardians, only the deputy tomb masters who guarded the remains of the gods had the ability to expel the concept erosion from her body.
But Gu Heng's single pill almost instantly cleared away most of the deadly "toxins" accumulated in her body!
Doesn't this mean...
Her lifespan, which had been eroded and reduced by this concept, has returned?!
"Yes, you look much better now."
"...Thank you very much, Brother Gu. This pill is very effective."
Yue Ru whispered.
"Don't worry, my medicine-making skills are excellent. Everyone who takes it will speak highly of it."
Gu Heng waved his hand dismissively; this was nothing new to him. Watching the color slowly return to Yue Ru's face, he felt as if he had reverted to his old ways, offering medicine to anyone who was unwell, only to have them suddenly recover and be amazed by his medical skills…
However, Yue Ru didn't seem particularly surprised.
"I don't doubt it."
Yue Ru forced a smile.
The pills were not just good, they were excellent, but she wanted to know even more what Gu Heng really wanted.
This kind of elixir, which can dispel conceptual erosion and heal damage, would be a top treasure in any civilization, and he just gave it away like that?
Yue Ru never believed in "generosity," especially not generosity within this epochal cemetery.
"Let's go, it's time to go back to the Buddhist temple."
Gu Heng touched Gu Xitong's forehead, and the latter immediately followed, step by step, like a large doll. Yue Ru remained silent, only feeling the pain and decay gradually fading from her body, her feelings complicated.
I received a favor from him.
What should we do next?
Yue Ru had a premonition that his talk of "leaving the Epoch Cemetery" might not be just wishful thinking.
Leaving this cage from which there is no escape is a truly remarkable feat.
Even disregarding the countless remnants within the ruins of civilizations, the sheer power of the Tomb Keepers alone, if they were to return to the myriad realms, would undoubtedly unleash a storm that would shake all civilizations!
Although the tomb keepers are a faction, they are scattered and distant from each other, not a united front. It is not impossible for them to fight each other to the point of bloodshed, but they generally do not waste their energy on this.
But if there really was someone who could unite all the gravediggers... she always felt...
I've gotten myself into something really serious.
"..."
Yue Ru turned around and looked at the mechanical ball.
Oh, right, she hasn't taken away the historical information about the Mirror Moon Kingdom that she wanted yet.
She walked up to the mechanical sphere. Based on her past experience of "friendly exchanges" with technological civilizations, she had a thought, and a large amount of information quickly flooded into her mind.
The history of a level-ten technological civilization, from its inception to its peak, and finally its decline and destruction, is as vast as the ocean, and her mind alone could not contain even a fraction of its contents.
But all Yue Ru needs to know is the history of the Mirror Moon Kingdom from the beginning of the "God-Making" project.
In fact, we have to thank Gu Heng for this.
Without him, these taboo secrets would probably never have been known.

I will punish myself by adding two extra chapters later!
