Chapter 1004: You're the Master
Gu Heng looked at the great sage named Stoll, his anger still not subsided.
He was only stopped by Gu Xitong, but that didn't mean his grudges with these important figures were wiped clean. He knew that these wise men all wanted him dead.
Without counting carefully, Gu Heng felt that all the great sages must have arrived, and the scene must have been magnificent.
It's really stupid.
Gu Heng really wanted to say that he was not actually an "enemy of the era". He did not think he was the kind of arrogant madman who dared to provoke even the gods. More importantly, he did not have the corresponding memories at all!
But even if he believes it, do you think others will? He brought Gu Xitong deep into the technological civilization, which is equivalent to presenting the evidence. The great sages naturally wouldn't think that the great enemy of the era would hand over the gods he had stolen to a complete stranger for no reason, and would definitely only keep them on his person.
There is no denying it.
Explaining anything now is pointless.
Moreover, Gu Heng also felt that someone had really tampered with his memories, causing him to have serious cognitive problems!
These wise men all remembered him, and such deep hatred must have been remembered very clearly. They were all powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of a civilization, and they certainly wouldn't be so senile as to mistake him for someone else.
Therefore, the one who is confused must be himself.
Gu Heng wasn't particularly afraid or uneasy about accidentally stepping into enemy territory; rather, he was more worried and agitated about his confused identity.
Even if he were to die right here today, that would be his bad luck, and although he was very unwilling, he had to accept it. But even if he were to die, he couldn't die a foolish death!
I have serious cognitive errors and also have problems with my abilities.
Since he is the greatest enemy of the era, what gives him the confidence to roam the heavens, clash with the gods, and wage war against all civilizations?
What terrifying strength should the great enemy of the era possess?
A major problem is that Gu Heng doesn't think he's that awesome, precisely because he doesn't have the corresponding strength.
From the day I could remember, I never realized that I had any extraordinary abilities.
If it is true that he is the "Great Enemy of the Epoch", then Gu Heng doesn't even dare to think about how many enemies he will attract if his identity is exposed in the future!
Even if these wise men don't get rid of him, there are definitely others who want to.
Thinking about this, Gu Heng couldn't even manage a smile. Oh well, it's better to die here than to have to face the cruel reality he didn't want to face later.
"You all stand down."
"The content of the following conversation should not be known to other individuals for the time being, not even you."
Just as Gu Heng remained silent, it was Gu Xitong who broke the deadlock.
The wise men looked at her, then at Gu Heng, their expressions shifting, but they all withdrew. Gu Heng paid special attention to Stoll, who was the one who left most decisively, but Gu Heng still felt that he couldn't swallow his anger.
Gu Heng could sense that Stoll's hatred was stronger than that of the other great sages. He worried that he might have had some irreconcilable grudge with him in the past, such as a blood feud. If that were the case, he would feel terrible about it.
“You were created by them, so you should obey them, right?” Gu Heng looked at her silently.
"it's not true."
"The great sages probably don't even know what I am, the one they created. Their emotions include not only anger towards you, but also suspicion and fear towards me."
“I broke free from their control in my early stages, so they have always been worried that I would become your vassal or weapon.”
Gu Heng clicked his tongue. It seemed that the brainpower kings had created a father figure that even they couldn't beat.
If this kind of behavior isn't considered courting death, then he really doesn't know what is.
No wonder he often heard people outside say that technological civilization is basically a huge force made up of madmen, and that no one could guess what these guys would do.
Although Gu Xitong was still using that girl's body, he didn't dare touch her head anymore. Thinking back to how he used to pinch her like a little cutie... ugh...
That's incredibly audacious!
"Their purpose in creating me was to allow me to continue analyzing the essence of 'cause and effect' and 'concepts' beyond the tenth level of technology. The current tenth level technology, which is said to be causal and conceptual technology, has actually only scratched the surface of higher-level powers..."
"So this is just the beginning for technological civilization. They need me, but they don't understand me, so they obey me."
"They hate you because without my existence, technological civilization would have been forced to halt all plans after the successful creation of the god, rendering all previous efforts almost meaningless."
Gu Xitong's tone was lofty and ethereal.
"It's not just this, is it?"
“That Stoll seems to hate me more than anyone else. Do you know what I did to him?”
Gu Heng asked weakly, "You didn't do anything to him, but he's the only survivor of the Mirror Moon Kingdom."
As soon as she said that, Gu Heng quickly understood.
At the Epoch Cemetery, Yue Ru had told him a conjecture: the sudden demise of the Mirror Moon Kingdom was a painful price to pay for the technological civilization's "God-Making Project." Losing such a powerful force that possessed level ten technology was nothing short of a major financial blow to the technological civilization.
For Stoll, a survivor, the immense sacrifice he made must have meant he desperately wanted the God-Making Project to be successful; otherwise, the destruction of the Mirror Moon Kingdom would have been a meaningless sacrifice.
He may have had relatives, but they are probably all dead.
Perhaps the only thing that matters to him is completing his plan to create a god.
The gods they created were then forcibly taken away by the great enemy of the era.
No wonder his hatred runs as deep as the sea.
Gu Heng initially felt quite wronged and aggrieved. "So, you really are a god of the era?"
he asked.
"No one knows how to define 'god.' Maybe I am a god, maybe I am not, but I have the ability to fight against gods."
Hmm... it seems she herself doesn't know the answer.
Gu Heng decided it was best not to ask any further questions.
There was no result.
"Um, judging from what you just said, you're not planning to kill me, are you?"
Gu Heng was also somewhat looking forward to it. Gu Xitong had sent all the great sages away, and he wondered what incredible secret she was going to reveal.
He didn't seem to be killed by the system anymore, but it wasn't exactly easy for him either.
He will likely face even bigger problems in the future.
“I won’t kill you. Our agreement isn’t completely over yet, and there’s no possibility of me unilaterally breaking it.”
Gu Xitong's words reassured Gu Heng.
"But I don't remember the agreement between us..."
"To be honest, I don't remember anything."
Gu Heng scratched his head in distress: "My thoughts are in a really mess right now. I don't know who tampered with my memories. My cognitive errors are quite serious. It's good that you're not making things difficult for me, but I can't help you with that either."
"What removes your memories and affects your perception is yourself."
Gu Heng's hand, which was scratching his head, suddenly stopped.
he himself?
"Also, you've always felt that the development of events was too accidental, and suspected that it was preordained. Your idea is correct. You yourself are the mastermind behind the whole scheme. I did guide you according to the direction you gave me in advance." Gu Xitong crossed her arms, making a gesture that was not very typical of a god.
Her words were like a thunderbolt, striking Gu Heng directly on the top of his head, leaving him speechless!
what? !
The mastermind behind all of this was actually himself?!
