Chapter 890: Taking the Hook
Gu Heng knew very well that there was nothing wrong with his memory. He was not the kind of person who forgot things. He hadn't forgotten anything from his past life, including this one.
unless.
This guy genuinely believes he doesn't remember anything from the past.
But what exactly happened?
"……Hahaha."
While Gu Heng was waiting for Dao Tian Sheng Zi's reply, Dao Tian Sheng Zi only chuckled softly twice before closing his eyes: "Never mind, perhaps this is for the best."
He hadn't expected that his former "arch-enemy" seemed to genuinely forget the past. Of course, Dao Tian Shengzi couldn't tell if it was true or not.
But what does it matter if it's true or false? He's currently trapped inside the Black Hole Battle Star, and it's likely he'll never be able to leave in this lifetime.
But what if Gu Heng really forgot...?
That's undeniably ironic and shows how unpredictable life can be, but it's good for everyone.
It would benefit at least many civilizations throughout the myriad worlds.
"Hey, what did you mean just now?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
This Heavenly Saint Child was definitely implying something, but he wasn't saying it outright, which made him feel uneasy and restless.
He doesn't like riddle tellers, but who does?
People who only say half of what they mean are always more annoying than those who don't say anything at all. Gu Heng usually just takes care of those kinds of people.
"Means nothing."
Dao Tian Shengzi merely sneered, clearly having no desire to continue the exchange: "Anyway, you've taken everything from me. I don't believe you won't look. Whether it's the myriad realms or the immortal civilization, if you really want to understand, you certainly won't lack the means."
"I have nothing to say to you."
"Fine, since you don't want to talk about it, then go back and stay there."
Gu Heng lay lazily on the recliner, looking nonchalant. With a wave of his large, tangible hand, Dao Tian Sheng Zi was immediately suppressed back into the Black Hole Battle Star.
The system also turned off the projection screen.
"Seriously, these guys are either stubborn as muses or spouting nonsense like 'May Buddha have mercy'."
Gu Heng muttered to himself, thinking that in the past year, he had "interrogated" those four guys imprisoned in the Black Hole Battle Star. Two of them were completely unwilling to talk to him. Of the remaining two, one kept chanting Amitabha Buddha and spouting brainwashing words about the suffering of all living beings, while the other was this Daotian Saint Child, who would get emotional and start playing riddles after a few words, and then give up entirely...
They are all extraordinary people.
If these guys were willing to reveal more about the phenomenal world to him, he wouldn't mind reducing their sentences.
Unfortunately, when the opportunity was given, those people couldn't seize it.
"System, have you found those two escapees, the magic civilization and the wizard civilization?"
Gu Heng suddenly asked.
Although he had enjoyed a year of peace, he did not forget that there were still two threats outside, and who knew if they might suddenly explode at some point?
"No, this system suspects they used some method that is currently difficult to detect to hide."
The system said.
The Apocalypse is a pinnacle of technological creation from a Type 9 civilization, where "observation technology" is utilized to its fullest potential. Since taking over the Apocalypse, it has already used it to thoroughly survey and detect the entire universe, but if it still hasn't found anything…
Then we can only rely on the "conceptual technology" of a level 10 civilization.
However, the system does not currently have the authority to use this technology. The host must go to the Phenomenon Realm and find a core node within the Epochal Holy Land of the technological civilization.
"So, it's not possible to find it now?"
"I'm afraid so."
Gu Heng clicked his tongue.
It seems those two can't even be caught by the current system...
Suddenly, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.
"Master, I'm back."
It's a little girl!
Gu Heng instantly sat up from the recliner. Over the past year, his relationship with Qin Yiyao had actually stabilized, becoming a fairly normal master-disciple relationship, just like before.
She focused on cultivation and managing the Jue Tian Pavilion and the Zhongzhou Dynasty. She would occasionally come back to see him, stay for a few days, and chat about their recent situations... She also stopped mentioning the occasional ambiguous moments that had occurred between them in the past.
She would still occasionally sit on his lap.
She justified it by saying, "If the cat can sit, so can I," and Gu Heng was quite happy about it, but he didn't understand why she was getting so hung up on the cat's idea...
Gu Heng initially missed that feeling. It wasn't that he disliked rebellious disciples, it was just that the timing wasn't right.
However, Gu Heng was very pleased to see Qin Yiyao so focused on becoming stronger.
Getting stronger is definitely the right thing to do.
As for... did the little girl give up, or did she hide her feelings deep inside, waiting for them to rekindle someday?
God knows.
Anyway, it's rare to be able to return to the peace and tranquility I had when I was still in Yunling City, which is great.
The courtyard gate opened, and Qin Yiyao stepped in gracefully, a faint smile on her delicate face. She then naturally sat on Gu Heng's lap.
Gu Heng naturally put his arm around her, gently patted her twice, and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"How did Master know?"
Gu Heng hummed in agreement and chuckled as he pinched her nose.
"How could I not understand you?"
This little girl came in without reporting anything good or bad, and immediately sat on my lap. She must have some other intentions.
"Well... I want Master to accompany me to a place to see the scenery." Qin Yiyao's request was something Gu Heng hadn't expected at all.
Shall we go see the scenery?
When did she develop this kind of romantic flair?
Gu Heng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"Outside."
Qin Yiyao pointed to the sky.
"Hmm... the starry sky is indeed quite impressive. Alright, since you want to go, I'll go with you."
Gu Heng agreed without hesitation.
Qin Yiyao was overjoyed, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent shapes, and her smile radiant.
……
In the void.
Enlai watched silently as Yinya sketched the array, her staff flashing through the air, creating countless obscure and complex magical runes that intertwined and embellished each other. He couldn't understand the intricacies of magical civilization, but as this so-called "trap" took shape, Yinya's life force began to ebb away...
Especially her once beautiful blonde hair, which has now visibly lost its luster and turned grayish-white, a symbol of old age.
Perhaps this is Yin Ya's "trump card".
Forcibly using the power of an Epoch God with the strength of a World Realm expert would result in losing one's life.
That being said, Enlai Ke never intended to use this power in the first place, and he was very curious to know why Yin Ya was fighting so desperately.
Did he take the bait?
After a while, the aura surging around Yin Ya gradually subsided.
"Hmm, it seems he trusts his apprentice very much, and doesn't even have any doubts... This is quite unusual for someone like him."
Enrico chuckled. "Hmph, if it's really that simple, then things will be much easier."
Yin Ya wiped the blood from the corner of her eye, her expression naturally cold and stern.
Everything is ready.
