Chapter 1123: The Process of Choosing a Gift
Gu Heng casually fiddled with the bizarre objects on the table, his fingertips tracing the cold surfaces.
These cultural treasures embody the glory and prosperity of a certain civilization, and also record its own long-forgotten past, or rather, the past of that "great enemy of the era".
But it's a pity.
He can't remember anything.
Including where the power of these treasures he stole can actually be used.
But Gu Heng was certain that if any one of these things were to be leaked out, it would be enough to cause a bloodbath in the myriad worlds and attract countless powerful figures to fight over it!
The former owners of these treasures will also join the dispute.
For months, Gu Heng has been holed up in the deep mountains and forests, studying these objects almost every day, hoping to make some progress. The main reason is that he can't do experiments, otherwise this desolate, barren place would be an excellent testing ground.
Therefore, he could only guess based on appearance, to determine which civilization it belonged to, and then use his quantum computer to access the technological civilization database to see if he could find relevant information.
And hard work pays off.
Gu Heng was actually able to understand more than a dozen of the treasures.
For example, the seed enveloped in pale golden flames is the "Heart of Forging" of the Star Refining Civilization. It is said to be able to instantly reverse-forge other top-tier treasures into one-time lethal weapons desired by the holder, with almost no change in power.
The incredible power of this item lies in its ability to melt down an enemy's weapon right in front of them and then slap it back at them.
The technological civilization learned this lesson the hard way. Tens of thousands of capital ships built with level 10 technology were all reverse-forged into super bombs by the Star Refining Civilization using the "Heart of Forging" and then returned to the technological civilization.
It is said that it destroyed one-tenth of the lower-level source world within the territory of technological civilization in one go.
However, this is an old story from long ago, but technological civilization remembers it clearly, and later still managed to get revenge in the war.
Gu Heng hadn't heard much about this Star Refining Civilization, and he himself was quite low-key.
However, it is said that if any civilization in the heavens desires a particularly specific artifact, they will seek out the Star Refining Civilization to commission one...
It is the kind of top civilization that has a good reputation and develops quietly.
The broken blade is the "immortal root" of the immortal civilization. It is said to be a divine weapon derived from the Dao marrow of the Primordial Dao Ancestor, capable of injuring or even killing the gods of the era!
But is this weapon really that powerful...?
do not know.
This question will probably never be answered, because no one would actually take this thing to a god to chop it up, and the immortal civilization has never done so.
That ancient key is the "Omniscient Wizard Key" of the wizarding civilization, its purpose unknown.
"Hey……"
Gu Heng looked at each item one by one, his heart growing heavier and heavier.
Each of these cultural treasures represents a well-known history. Although he has no memory of it now, these treasures themselves silently tell the story of the past.
"No wonder so many blades in all the heavens and myriad realms want to kill me."
Gu Heng gave a bitter smile.
Having robbed so many civilizations of their lifeblood, if he were a prominent figure in those civilizations, he would spare no effort to hunt them down.
But he didn't care much about his old grudges anymore.
After thinking about it for several months, the only conclusion I could come to was that "the more debt you have, the less you have to worry."
Since reconciliation is impossible, why should Gu Heng care about what others think?
In the end, it all comes down to who has the best skills.
That being the case.
He might as well just accept these treasures honestly.
He also planned to sort out a few items that could be given away from here. With so many treasures in his hands, firstly, he didn't know how to use them, and secondly, he didn't seem to need them. Since that was the case, he might as well give them to Xiaobai and the others.
At least.
Can you guarantee they'll be even more powerful?
As for the risk of having these treasures discovered... Gu Heng hadn't really considered it yet.
He raised a rolled-up banner.
The banner was extremely light to the touch, entirely made of dark silver, and the patterns on it were miniatures of countless cities, territories, and people, as if the entire civilization of the Yun Dynasty had been embroidered on this three-foot square banner.
The flagpole is made of a kind of smooth, jade-like bone, and when you hold it in your hand, you can faintly feel the pulse of blood.
Gu Heng fully unfurled the flag.
In an instant, the city and territory on the embroidery began to flow slowly, the dark gold patterns meandering like living things, silently spreading an aura of weight, antiquity, and authority.
"This thing is the God Emperor Battle Formation..."
Gu Heng stroked the banner, lost in thought.
He had heard Gu Ce mention the God Emperor Battle Formation, which was the treasure of the Wanchao civilization. It was said that it could summon a "God Emperor Battle Army" with terrifying combat power!
The members of the God Emperor's War Army are all top-tier players with unlimited resurrection coins. In life, they were all the rulers of the myriad dynasties of civilization. Even after death, they are not idle. They are sewn into this banner as tools.
If this treasure has not been lost.
The Wanchao Civilization could definitely use the God Emperor Battle Formation to attack the Dark Realm.
Since they are afraid of too many deaths, wouldn't the God Emperor's War Army, which can resurrect without limit, be the best pathfinders?
Fortunately.
He has this thing.
Of course, Gu Heng didn't intend to let others know that he had this treasure, at least not now.
"Hmm, it can be given to that little girl as a gift."
This is a good thing, especially suitable for that girl Qin Yiyao.
She was once an empress; if she could obtain this treasure that symbolizes the civilization of ten thousand dynasties, she would surely be even more powerful in the future.
Gu Heng carefully rolled up the God Emperor Battle Banner again, put it back into the Eternal Crystal Sphere, and then looked at the other objects on the table.
He casually picked up the crimson "heart," which seemed to have magma flowing inside. Its surface was covered with fine, scaly patterns and numerous blood vessels resembling incantations.
"The 'True Dragon Blood Heart' of the Dragon Clan Civilization..."
Gu Heng examined it carefully.
This thing looks like a heart, and its name includes the character for heart, but it is actually a powerful artifact of civilization derived from the divine blood of the supreme god of the Dragon Clan, the "True Dragon".
Originally enshrined in the Dragon God Temple, it was revered as a sacred object by the Dragon Clan civilization.
Because technological civilization has a deep understanding of dragon civilization, it has recorded many uses of the True Dragon Blood Heart. The most basic uses, such as bloodline suppression and sublimation, need not be mentioned. The most important thing is that this thing can forcibly suppress all dragons, regardless of their bloodline or strength!
As long as this treasure is in hand.
Unless the true dragon himself comes forward, everyone must obey the true dragon's bloodline!
In Gu Heng's view, this thing is similar to the God Emperor's Battle Formation, except that one commands the dead and the other commands living dragons.
"Suitable for Xiaobai and his lover, and beneficial to their cultivation."
Choosing a gift is a process that deserves careful consideration.
At least that's what Gu Heng thinks.
