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

Chapter 1030: Stay Away from Trouble

Chapter 1030: Stay Away from Trouble

What does it mean that the system dares not speak rashly?

"What do you mean? Were you watching the whole time?"

Gu Heng frowned. He had been worried for a while because they had lost contact, but Gu Xitong just chose to remain silent.

But she certainly didn't do it on purpose.

“I’ve been watching,” Gu Xitong said.

"Hmm... So, have you figured out any clues?" Gu Heng frowned.

If the system intentionally avoided contacting her earlier, it was probably observing and analyzing the origins of the three pseudo-humans confronting her. But those three were rather weak; what made the system wary of them?! "The three individuals I observed were not purely living beings or inanimate objects."

"It is somewhere in between."

As Gu Xitong's voice rang out, the images of the three people reappeared in Gu Heng's mind.

Looking back now, he realized that these three guys had countless "weaknesses"!

For example, the armor covered the entire body perfectly, as if there were only a face and extremely calm emotional fluctuations...

Previously, there really wasn't much opportunity to examine the three guys he had killed with a single blow. But if they hadn't melted away in such an abstract way in the end, Gu Heng would have just thought he had casually killed three small fry.

"You mean, those guys are almost as good as real people?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng was somewhat puzzled. "Do you think this is special? I didn't sense anything strange about it."

This kind of thing couldn't surprise him at all. There's everything in the myriad worlds; if you can't imagine it, it doesn't exist. For example, the mating between humans and insectoids is disgusting from any perspective, but it's not exactly a strange or unusual event.

These three are mixed up with the Eternal Beast; perhaps they are anomalies born from the intercourse between humans and the Eternal Beast?

It's not impossible.

"It's hard to explain. They weren't born through the rules of intercourse. It's more like some unknown entity is creating them in the shape of humans."

"Their very existence contradicts concepts and truth."

Gu Xitong said.

The database she possessed was almost equivalent to the entire history of the "Post-Ancestor Sage Civilization Era" across countless worlds, but even she couldn't analyze this mode of existence through the database, since there was no such combination of "humans" and "eternal beasts" mating in the data.

Perhaps some clues could be found in even more ancient times, but Gu Xitong didn't have the energy to do that, let alone in the myriad worlds of today, where there is almost no trace of the existence of the Ancestral Sage Civilization.

“Okay, I don’t understand much. Let’s leave those three aside for now. The main thing is that they’re very weak. How could they possibly make you so cautious?” Gu Heng frowned.

What he was more concerned about now was why the system had remained silent earlier.

"A power at the level of an epochal deity is looking down on this region, using the three individuals you killed as 'eyes'. Our alliance cannot be exposed at the moment, otherwise unforeseen circumstances may occur."

What?! The gods of the ages are watching this place?!

Gu Heng immediately tensed up. Although he couldn't remember the past, his rivals and mortal enemies certainly hadn't forgotten him.

Those gods are not bound by any "lifespan" and are even less likely to forget things!

He used to be such a troublemaker; he probably offended every god across all eras. If I had kept a low profile, I would have been fine. But just now, he practically gouged out three of a god's eyes...

What should I do?

"Don't worry, I've prepared a backup plan. They won't be able to track you down, but you don't need to stay here any longer."

Gu Xitong didn't explain it very clearly, but it was enough to reassure Gu Heng.

"Is that so? Then I'll do as you say."

Gu Heng thought to himself that having her as his backup was definitely a safe bet; otherwise, he didn't know what he would be facing now. "Uh, Mr. Gu?"

Pu Yunyuan asked in a low voice.

"I'm fine. It's time to leave. You can take my boat. It's better than walking out of this godforsaken place."

Gu Heng pulled out the Apocalypse, which he had shrunk to the size of a palm, and released it again. The massive ship stretched across the blood lake, obscuring most of it.

But as soon as he took the Apocalypse out, he noticed that there seemed to be some kind of fine corrosion spreading on the hull.

He didn't know what was going on.

However, since it is a man-made object, some wear and tear is normal; it's not like it can't be driven anymore.

Gu Heng didn't say much, and boarded the Apocalypse with Pu Yunyuan and Pu Ao. However, the problem with this area was that the spatial concept was severely disordered. If they wandered around recklessly, they would likely get lost here.

Fortunately, he had Gu Xitong, a "god," to point him in the right direction, so he wouldn't be completely lost.

……

Here, Gu Heng could hardly tell the passage of time.

Just finding the two dragons, the cat, and the "mortal" who had gotten separated from him and bringing them back to the ship took Gu Heng at least three to four days.

Finally, following the route given by Gu Xitong, they left this blood-soaked region, which took about the same amount of time.

"Phew, it's finally out!"

Looking at the normal sky and earth before him, and the ethereal aura that could soothe his soul with just a breath, Gu Heng felt content.

Turn around and look.

It was as if we had crossed a portal to another dimension; the bloody region was no longer visible.
