Chapter 909: The Unpredictability of Life
Gu Heng didn't seem to feel anything, but Yue Ru felt a chill run down her spine looking at the mechs, eagles, and other technological creations roaming around her. Gu Heng, on the other hand, was quite engrossed in watching these things.
Shouldn't a real man like these kinds of things?
He captured a warship and countless technological weapons from scratch!
But it's a pity.
Without the system, none of these things can be taken out.
As of now, the only weapon Gu Heng has is the goose-feather knife he pulled out a long time ago; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's completely out of ammunition and supplies.
Fortunately, he was in this Epoch Graveyard and was a cultivator, so he was perfectly fine without food or water, except for the lack of taste in his mouth, which made him quite uncomfortable...
"There are so many of these mechs and stuff."
"The territory of technological civilization is boundless, and their technological creations are too numerous to count."
"Even if you stay here for a long time, I'm afraid you still won't be able to see all of these creations."
Yue Ru hadn't forgotten the perilous situation she was in.
Each of these mechs and eagle-like technological creations exuded an aura that made her hair stand on end and her heart pound with fear. Without a doubt, if these creations suddenly attacked, they would have absolutely no chance of escaping!
and so.
It's like walking on a narrow road with abysses on both sides.
One carelessness can lead to eternal damnation.
Yue Ru watched him so relaxed and carefree, as if he were on vacation. She didn't know whether to say he was just carefree or genuinely confident that he could ignore the dangers of this place and come and go as he pleased.
"I never imagined that this entire technological megacity would end up in an epochal graveyard."
Gu Heng sighed.
This technological megacity looked somewhat dusty and dilapidated simply because of the passage of time, unlike the mechanical junkyard and desolate Buddha statues he had seen before, which seemed to have been destroyed by an irresistible force.
It's just like……
The entire city quietly became a "remains of civilization".
"Ha! Those who are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and dare to touch the taboos often end up being completely annihilated. No matter the past, present or future, not a trace of them remains. They are completely erased in the long river of time!"
"The fact that they can leave any trace in the Epoch Cemetery is already a pretty good ending for this 'Mirror Moon Kingdom'," Yue Ru said with a hint of disapproval.
Seeing that Yue Ru seemed to know a lot about this place, Gu Heng asked, "Do you know the origin of this place?"
"Know."
"Before I arrived at the Epoch Graveyard, the news that the 'Mirror Moon Kingdom' had suddenly disappeared from all the heavens and myriad worlds was widely circulated and once caused panic throughout the entire technological civilization."
Yue Ru said calmly.
"Mirror Moon Heaven?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
“The Mirror Moon Kingdom is a force within a technological civilization, one of the tenth-level civilizations. If you are not as 'detached from worldly affairs' as I imagine, you can understand what a tenth-level civilization represents.”
"Of course I know that, it's the pinnacle of technological civilization." Faced with Yue Ru's sarcasm about his "ignorance," Gu Heng simply brushed it off with a hearty smile.
The system had given him a crash course, so Gu Heng naturally understood that "Level 10" in technological civilization meant that he had reached the pinnacle of technology!
A level ten civilization means that it has mastered "conceptual technology," or in other words, it has the means to interfere with causality. Gu Heng did not understand what kind of power the concept technology room was, and he could not even comprehend how powerful the "observation technology" of a level nine civilization was.
This is all beyond the scope of the curriculum.
But Yue Ru is clearly a cultivator of the immortal civilization, so why does it sound like she also has some understanding of technological civilization?
"If you knew, you would understand that the technological power possessed by a level ten civilization is comparable to, or even on par with, those cultivation giants who severed countless lines of fate to become the only ones in all realms!"
"The Mirror Moon Kingdom once performed an astonishing feat: using its conceptual weapons, it successfully annihilated the supreme god of an alien civilization!"
Yue Ru was getting quite excited as she spoke, but when she turned her head, she saw a dismissive expression on Gu Heng's face, as if he were saying in a nonchalant tone, "Oh, that's amazing..."
Wait, why isn't this guy excited at all?
"what happened?"
Gu Heng glanced at her, seemingly wondering why Yue Ru didn't continue; he wanted to hear more.
"Killing a god doesn't seem like a particularly mystical or heroic feat to you?"
Yue Ru raised an eyebrow.
Although the Mirror Moon Kingdom is a technological civilization that does not practice cultivation and is incompatible with other human civilizations, any human would absolutely applaud and praise this feat of slaying alien gods!
Yueru still remembered that when her master told her this story, his tone and expression were even more excited than hers. After all...
To directly annihilate an epoch-making deity is something that all beings in the myriad realms would never even dare to dream of.
The gods are always high above, and no one can directly challenge them!
"No, do I look like the kind of person who could easily kill a god? I'm just not easily surprised."
Gu Heng shrugged.
Even gods die. Wu Zhao said it before. This epochal graveyard is full of the corpses of gods.
Why do gods die?
Logically speaking, the gods of this era should be immortal, so expecting them to die of old age is absolutely foolish; the only solution is for them to be eliminated.
True.
Gu Heng knew he had no right to speak on this matter. He had never been to the Phenomenon Realm and did not understand what kind of transcendent status the Epoch Gods held in that place.
But Wu Zhao and Yue Ru are both experts with a much broader vision than him!
"Tell me, how did the Mirror Moon Kingdom manage to commit this 'god-slaying' feat?"
he asked.
"...No one knows how Mirror Moon Heaven managed to do it."
Yue Ru looked at him suspiciously for a long time, but couldn't see anything, so she continued, "The supreme god of civilization is too powerful. A direct confrontation will only lead to death."
"Therefore, the most appropriate approach is to target the civilization itself, the sovereign god of civilization."
"for example."
Yue Ru flicked her long hair and said coldly, "If you want to kill the supreme god of the Dragon Clan civilization, the most appropriate way is to launch a war against the Dragon Clan civilization, do everything possible to annihilate the Dragon Clan civilization's living forces, and seize the lower-level source realms they control!"
"Simply put, if we could wipe out all life in the dragon civilization..."
"The supreme god of the dragon civilization will die because he has lost his foundation."
Hear.
Gu Heng frowned: "So, does that mean that killing an Epoch God is basically equivalent to uprooting and destroying an entire civilization?"
This is way too complicated. I didn't know that killing a god was such a troublesome thing.
But then again, if gods were so easy to kill, they probably wouldn't be called "gods."
"It was killing a 'supreme god of civilization,' not a god of an era."
"The gods of the era are divided into three categories. The only ones that can be killed are the 'supreme gods of civilization,' although it is very difficult."
Yue Ru corrected Gu Heng, but this was clearly not a topic she wanted to bring up right now.
She continued, "Normally, the only way to destroy a civilization's supreme god is to wage war against that civilization, win, and exterminate all life forms within that civilization."
"However, the Mirror Moon Kingdom did not do that."
"They didn't kill the gods by crushing civilizations, but by killing the gods, they brought that alien civilization to its complete collapse!"
"Before this, killing a god head-on was considered an impossible fantasy."
Hear the words.
Gu Heng nodded: "So, the Mirror Moon Kingdom has made history."
"It can be said that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Mirror Moon Heavenly Kingdom will stand proudly among technological civilizations, becoming the leader of the tenth-level civilizations and leading the entire technological civilization to continue to expand its territory."
Yue Ru looked at the towering buildings around her, which shone like mirrors.
She did not continue.
But Gu Heng already knew the fate of the Mirror Moon Kingdom.
The whole team was wiped out.
The few remaining traces of civilization are now being watched over by them in the Epoch Cemetery.
Perhaps this is the best proof of the impermanence of life.
