The contact was fleeting and ended in an instant.
By the time Gu Heng felt the wet touch on his cheek, Su Jinxi had already transformed into a cat and hopped into the house.
possible.
Later, Su Jinxi will boast to the little girl, which will then trigger another "battle of wits"...
Gu Heng scratched his head, hoping that this kind of trouble in his own backyard wouldn't happen to him.
"System, are you there?"
he called.
"What does the host need?" The system's projection appeared again.
"Since you said you can learn now and become more 'human,' what help can you offer me emotionally?"
"This system cannot provide advice on the emotions of intelligent life forms."
"cut."
Gu Heng rolled his eyes.
Fortunately, the system's emotionless nature remained unchanged; otherwise, it would be hard to say whether it was a good thing or a problem.
"Fine, since we've finally had some peace and quiet for a while, why don't you help me figure out what we can use from that warship?"
"Locking that Zero in jail is just a temporary measure."
"What does the host want?"
"That warship seems to have a lot of advanced weaponry on board. You think those things are useful?"
Gu Heng smiled mysteriously.
"This system understands."
……
half a month later.
Somewhere in the endless void.
Yin Ya waited quietly for the others to arrive; she had sent out a message several days earlier.
Over the next seven days, five figures arrived one after another from various places and landed on the floating stone that was floating in the void.
She looked at them one by one: Enlai Ke from the Wizarding Civilization, Kasyapa Buddha from the Buddhist Civilization, the Hundred Saints Singer from the Soul-Summoning Poetry Civilization, Cheng Wuji from the Martial Arts Civilization, and... Dao Tian Saint Son from the Immortal Civilization.
Six people in total.
"...Where is Zero?" The other five people who had arrived shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know. Yin Ya used her magical powers to scan the surrounding void, but she did not see Zero's whereabouts.
"Hasn't he arrived yet?"
She frowned. This was the second time she had called a meeting. The content of the meeting was naturally very simple: everyone was to report on the current progress of the investigation.
If nothing unexpected or goes wrong, the investigation of this extremely barren Origin Realm, which consists of only seven major domains, should be completed quickly.
More than a month has passed now. Actually, more than a month is not a long time for them. If they had focused on their cultivation, they could have spent thousands of years, let alone a month.
But it's different now.
They used the power of their respective civilization's epochal deities to forcibly reverse the concept of "time" in order to return to the past, and the cost of each minute was incalculable! Moreover, the possible "consequences" of this were likely to be very serious.
But with the mission at hand, this was something I had to do.
Therefore, during this period of time, the group of them have been working intensively on the investigation every day. They have put all their energy into finding "Gu Heng" so that they can return to the "future" as soon as possible, which is for their own benefit.
"Hmph, those technologically advanced people never cultivate themselves; they only focus on creating more powerful 'external objects.' They're utterly useless!"
"How can such a person be associated with us?"
Enrico snorted coldly.
His tone was dismissive, and the others nodded in agreement.
Of the six people present, all are "cultivators," but Zero doesn't cultivate at all; his physical strength has always remained at the "mortal realm"! The only reason someone like him can stand with them is because Zero's physical body has been replaced with some kind of highly powerful mechanical body, and his remaining head has also been "modified" using strange technological means...
Just hearing it sends chills down your spine.
Everyone here cultivates, and it's quite an achievement to train your physical body and soul. But those who play with all that technology are too unconventional, and people don't really like them.
However, it must be said that this kind of transformation is very useful. At least from the perspective of the cultivator civilization, this kind of method, which is tantamount to defying the heavens and changing one's fate, usually has a limit and cannot be made too outrageous.
However, there are indeed quite a few outrageous things in technological civilization.
"Alright, that's enough."
Yin Ya silently looked at Enlai Ke, her expression indifferent.
"...Of course, since we've all come together with a common goal, I'll just say these things here."
Although Enlai was venting, no one present disagreed with what he said.
There are many people who have even stronger opinions about him.
"Fine, since he hasn't arrived yet, let's start this meeting first and hear what he has to say when he gets here."
After a while, Yin Ya, as the leader, ended this topic that was damaging to internal unity and shifted the focus to their real purpose of returning to the past. She would not just wait for Ling blankly because he was not there.
"Let me tell you first."
Yin Ya said, "I was in charge of investigating the Li Tian Realm, but I didn't find anything related to Gu Heng. I used the Ancient Probing Technique to search the entire realm from top to bottom, and nothing unusual had happened in the past."
"So I didn't get anything here."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Enlai, who was the first to speak and came from the wizarding civilization.
"Ahem, it's the same here, in that Extreme Celestial Realm..."
Five people spoke at the same time, and Yin Ya's brows gradually furrowed.
As of now, no one has found even the slightest trace of "Gu Heng"!
