Anyway, Gu Heng knew that his life was firmly in the system's hands for a long time, and if they really wanted him to die, they could have done it a long time ago.
"So, I know it will be tough to get through this hellish place, but I can still get by. There's no need to take my own life so soon."
Wu Zhao couldn't understand why Gu Heng had such a strange, suicidal idea.
Finding a close confidant with whom you can have a heart-to-heart talk in an epochal graveyard with only a few hundred people is incredibly difficult!
He's a chatterbox; he feels more uncomfortable if he stops talking than anything else.
But if he talked to himself too much, Wu Zhao would think it was foolish, so he would definitely need a listener.
It's so rare to find one like this.
Wu Zhao did not intend to let him go and seek death like that.
Of course, death may be the only true way to find liberation...
"But I want to give it a try."
Gu Heng said firmly.
"...Sigh, I'll talk to you after I've dealt with those 'beasts'."
"Anyway, spacetime vortexes are not a disaster that is easy to encounter. There are many places in this epoch graveyard where spacetime collapses, but very few are serious enough to cause vortex anomalies."
Seeing his confident expression, Wu Zhao suddenly couldn't bring himself to say the words of advice that were on the tip of his tongue.
He could see that Gu Heng desperately wanted to leave, but who didn't feel the same way? Nobody wanted to be imprisoned here for the rest of their life.
but.
Getting out is easier said than done.
Perhaps, passing through the spacetime vortex could indeed allow one to leave the Epoch Cemetery, but even someone as powerful as the tomb guardian and deputy tomb master couldn't do it, so who could?
It's better to accept this reality sooner rather than later.
Wu Zhao assumed that Gu Heng was acting rashly out of anxiety and gave him some time to think things through. If Gu Heng was truly a pragmatic person, he would probably come to his senses soon enough.
"Alright, it's been more than a month already, I don't think waiting a little longer is a problem."
"Master Wu, I'm counting on you."
Once Gu Heng left...
Wu Zhao silently looked at Yue Ru.
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't encourage him to go looking for any spacetime vortex, but I'm curious to see if he can succeed." Yue Ru shrugged.
“Look at him. Although he has the magnificent Daming Palace, he doesn’t look like a strong person at all. Even the deputy tomb master perished in the dangers and disasters inside. Do you really think he has a chance to survive?”
Wu Zhao shook his head, clearly indicating his disapproval.
but.
Faced with Wu Zhao's words, Yue Ru recalled the past few days and then smiled bitterly: "When I first met him, I also thought he didn't have the ability to explore the ruins of technological civilization, but he came out alive."
"So, don't be too absolute in your statements."
Yue Ru couldn't see through Gu Heng before and didn't think much of it, but ever since the trip to the Mirror Moon Kingdom ruins, she has begun to lose confidence in herself and is filled with an indelible sense of blindness.
Gu Heng could be an absolute master, or he could be a chosen one with exceptionally good luck.
Either way is possible. So, although she had never heard of spacetime vortexes before, she didn't think that place could really threaten Gu Heng's life, even though one of the deputy tomb owners had died because of it.
Wu Zhao suddenly turned around: "What?!"
"You actually went to explore the Mirror Moon Heaven?!"
Within the Epoch Cemetery, there is only one remnant of technological civilization, namely the infamous "Kingdom of Godslayers" throughout the myriad realms.
I don't know why this is the case, as other civilizations have more than one site with their ruins.
The Immortal Civilization and the Buddhist Civilization, these two sworn enemies, have at least a hundred remnants of their civilizations within the Epoch Cemetery.
Even the Buddhist plain they were in was just one of many.
But technological civilization seems to always be the "exception," and there are too many exceptions.
Although there is only one such place, the situation inside the ruins of technological civilization is extremely dangerous, and there are absolutely no opportunities or benefits to be had. Any cultivator with a clear mind would not choose to approach it.
Unknown mechanical constructs roamed freely, unleashing their full firepower without hesitation upon encountering either tomb beasts or members of the tomb guardians, often attracting large numbers of "reinforcements" within moments...
This doesn't even include the heavy weapons hidden within the ruins of the civilization.
Stepping into the ruins of technological civilization is truly a "path to certain death"!
but.
Gu Heng and Yue Ru both returned unharmed.
What does this seem to say?
"If you ask me, it's more like the Mirror Moon Heavenly Kingdom ruins themselves were destined for him, so when he stepped into them, it was as if no one was there!"
"Those technological creations that used to swarm like locusts at the sight of anything moving are now completely unresponsive!"
"I'm just lucky that nothing happened to me because of him."
Yue Ru's expression was extremely solemn.
Wu Zhao frowned as well: "Something's not right. Judging from his clothes and his manner of speaking, Brother Gu doesn't seem like one of those weirdos from a technologically advanced civilization at all. How could he be..."
Sudden.
He thought of the expressionless girl beside Gu Heng.
"Where is that girl?"
"It is a being that sleeps in the ruins of the Mirror Moon Heaven Kingdom, not a real person, and it has a kind of pressure that is above all living beings."
Just thinking about the way that girl had looked at her before, and that was all she looked at, sent a chill down Yue Ru’s spine again.
That is the feeling of being looked down upon by some incredibly tall, almost towering being that holds up the heavens and the earth.
For the first time in her life, she felt like a humble and insignificant ant.
"It's strange that it was brought out from inside."
Wu Zhao stroked his chin.
Although there are rules within the Epoch Graveyard that allow exploration of ancient ruins, leading to unexpected opportunities, and even the discovery of magical artifacts, various elixirs, or even the power left behind by a powerful being that do not belong to the current era…
But he had never heard of anyone bringing back such a lifelike creature.
It seems that Gu Heng and she quickly became acquainted.
He was a newcomer, while the girl was an unknown being sleeping within the ruins of the Mirror Moon Heaven Kingdom. Logically, the two shouldn't have any connection.
I thought about it for a long time.
Wu Zhao had no clue whatsoever; instead, he felt as if his pointed head was about to burn out.
