Chapter 1068: You've switched sides too?
Gu Heng felt he couldn't figure out this problem.
There are only two hundred or so grave keepers left. Heaven knows how that little girl got involved with them.
"Epoch Cemetery?"
"Isn't that place a one-way street where you can only enter and not leave?"
Gu Heng answered without changing his expression.
Common sense tells people that the Epoch Cemetery is a place of exile, and normal people would think that it is a place where death is certain and that going in means never coming out.
This old monster was extremely perceptive; he didn't want to reveal anything to Gu Ce.
Upon hearing Gu Heng's words, Gu Ce's expression turned extremely strange for a moment, but he still said, "Nothing in this world is absolute."
“My disciple seems to have some connection with one of those prisoners. She went there to settle some matters of her own, and will return once she has done so.”
"As for the rest of them..."
Gu Ce said indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, they will most likely try to join the rebels' camp. In the myriad worlds of today, the only ones who are capable and dare to take them in are those disrespectful fellows."
Gu Heng felt a little relieved.
Although he knew that Qin Yiyao was not involved in the incident but had her own plan, knowing that she had a plan and being able to see her were two different things.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask more specific questions, such as her exact location.
But Gu Ce seemed to see through his thoughts, and with a gentle wave of his hand, he cut off all the questions he was about to ask: "Mr. Gu, your top priority right now is the planning of my Wanchao Civilization. You should make preparations as soon as possible. You can put other matters aside for a while."
"Thank you for your guidance, Imperial Advisor."
Gu Heng cupped his hands, forcibly suppressing his surging thoughts, "I know the importance of this matter and will do my best."
Knowing that Qin Yiyao is temporarily safe, and that Gu Ce is involved, is a thousand times better than before when there was no clue at all.
Since she's alright for now, we need to focus on our own situation.
Impersonating the Great Enemy of the Era...
This task was not difficult for him, but Gu Heng found it increasingly absurd. However, he had already gotten involved, and it would be difficult to back out if he simply stopped.
We still have to do it.
But Gu Heng had absolutely no intention of helping Wan Chaowen to persecute his own followers.
As for how to do something under the noses of these people, he'll have to think about it carefully.
Once Gu Heng left, only Gu Ce remained in this secret meeting space.
The unchanging calm and indifference on his face gradually faded, and countless calculating shadows seemed to flicker deep in his eyes.
After a while, Gu Ce slowly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing patterns in the air, and soon a figure appeared in front of him from a great distance.
"The Imperial Preceptor of the Ancient Strategist Kingdom".
Xiaoyao Jun smiled indifferently: "It's been a long time."
"Should I call you Xiaoyao Jun, or Cangshi?"
Gu Ce said coldly.
"Whatever. Although I intend to sever ties with the past, it seems that without accepting the past, I cannot embrace the future. So, I will leave it to the Grand Preceptor's preference."
"What important matter does the Imperial Preceptor have to discuss?"
Xiaoyao Jun maintained his indifferent yet thoughtful tone, his expression unchanged.
Xiaoyao Jun has not been the Holy Emperor for many years. Although he said that his method of changing his appearance and erasing the connection to fate was very appropriate, there are always a few people in the Wanchao civilization who will not be fooled by such methods. Gu Ce is one of them.
But after keeping to themselves for so long, what are they suddenly up to?
If Gu Ce hadn't been unafraid, Xiaoyao Jun would have already struck first.
For beings of their caliber, even a fleeting moment of initiative in a confrontation could significantly increase their chances of victory.
"I saw him."
Despite Xiaoyao Jun's subtle wariness, Gu Ce remained calm.
"Although it was just a guess before, I didn't expect that he would actually survive. Gu Heng's strength is probably far beyond what people can imagine. There must be an even higher realm above the Concept Realm!"
"However, it seems His Majesty the Carefree Emperor already knew about this, didn't he?"
“Grand Preceptor Gu Ce…” Xiaoyao Jun hesitated slightly, “When did you choose his side?”
Xiaoyao Jun knew perfectly well who he was referring to.
However, after Gu Ce learned of Gu Heng's identity, he would probably not hesitate to summon other epoch gods, but the current intentions have taken Xiao Yao Jun by surprise.
Back then, Gu Ce was a staunch opponent of the Great Enemy of the Epoch!
Xiaoyao Jun was also quite certain that Gu Ce was not the kind of low-level imposter or traitor.
but.
When did he change his stance?
"Your Majesty, please don't get me wrong. I'm not the kind of person who's fickle."
Gu Ce said slowly, "Compared to identity, I care more about the truth. After I know the truth, isn't it only natural to choose the right side?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Jun's eyes flickered.
His eyes were thoughtful as he seemed to be scrutinizing Gu Ce, but for a moment he couldn't figure it out.
Gu Ce is definitely not a fence-sitter, but his sudden change of allegiance is rather abrupt. After all, Xiaoyao Jun could not possibly guess what Gu Ce was thinking, so the current situation is indeed quite subtle.
As for the truth?
Where did this guy find out the truth, and what kind of truth is it?
"What Grand Preceptor Gu Ce said is quite interesting. I wonder where you got this so-called 'truth' from?"
"And why would that be correct?"
"It's very simple."
Gu Ce smiled, then his face suddenly cracked with a spiderweb-like pattern: "Because I successfully deciphered a part of the memories of the Great Enemy of the Epoch and saw the truth."
"Although the price paid was not small, it was well worth it."
The moment Xiaoyao Jun saw those cracks, his expression immediately tightened!
Those were not ordinary injuries, but decaying wounds left behind after being eroded by a powerful and terrifying concept!
"What do you see?"
Xiaoyao Jun quickly pressed for more information.
Are there any powerful beings in the world who don't want to crawl into the mind of the Great Enemy of the Epoch?
If so, he is definitely not on that list.
Obsessed with knowledge to the point of madness, he would not give up any opportunity to collect knowledge he did not know, and everything in the memories of the great enemy of the era was a treasure to Xiaoyao Jun!
It's just a pity that he didn't have those fragments of memory.
"...I cannot tell you what I have seen yet."
Gu Ce shook his head, completely covering the cracks on his face.
"As for Your Majesty, I know that there are traitors within the Myriad Dynasties civilization who are aligned with the Great Enemy of the Epoch. I suspect that every flourishing civilization has them, and I believe you are one of them."
So, are you?
