I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 883: Catching a Turtle in a Jar

"what?"

"A mere puppet can't possibly kill me?"

Qin Yiyao bit her lip lightly. How could she be looked down upon by a lump of iron?

But this is something Master brought back, a strange and unusual thing, and the little girl doesn't really want to touch it, in case something bad happens if she does.

Moreover, there are some things Gu Heng often forbids her from touching; if she does, she will be scolded and possibly even slapped.

"Hmm... he left an iron golem here, there must be a reason for that, right?"

Su Jinxi examined the mecha and suddenly had a guess. "I don't care, I'm going to show the Epoch Immortal Scripture to other people."

Qin Yiyao muttered to herself, crumpled the note in her hand, and stormed off.

Su Jinxi looked at the debris under her feet, then looked at Qin Yiyao outside the courtyard gate.

Hmm, it's so cute when she's sulking.

……

In the endless void.

Gu Heng looked at Ling, who had been released from prison with a blank expression, and after examining him for a while, asked, "Won't his current state give him away?"

Zero is arguably the most crucial element in the upcoming plans.

Without him, his companions wouldn't have willingly walked into the trap. This was the best opportunity to wipe them all out; if anything went wrong, things would get complicated. If his companions were willing to fight him to the death, that would be fine; he wasn't too afraid right now.

But if he scares someone away, he doesn't have the energy to cast a net and catch them in the endless void. He's not afraid of being in the open, but he's afraid of being in the dark. Who knows when they might suddenly appear and give him a hard time!

The key is.

After the system took control of Zero, its eyes, which previously held a fierce and malevolent look, seemed to want to devour him, but now...

Lifeless, cold, devoid of any emotion.

I wonder what the system did to him.

"Host need not worry about this happening. This system has already reconstructed the target's thought logic and overwritten its deep thoughts, so it will never betray the host."

"There's no need to worry about the plan failing due to abnormal target conditions. According to the system's deductions, the target and the other six hostile targets do not have absolute trust, making it extremely easy for them to split." The system now puts him at ease.

Since that's been said, it seems there's no problem.

Gu Heng looked at the "beast trap" next to him—actually a "black hole war star" that had been modified by the system and concealed by special means.

According to the system, this black hole war star is also a weapon. It is said that in the phenomenal world, technological civilizations use this black hole war star to capture the source worlds, or lower universes, under the jurisdiction of other civilizations, and then take them over, erase all the concepts and rules that exist within them, and transform them into technological universes.

The fact that a weapon could capture a weapon from a lower universe suggests that there must be something extraordinary inside this black hole war star.

Nothing more.

This imperfect black hole war star was disassembled and modified by the system from many "sub-black hole war stars" in the Apocalypse's warehouse. Black hole war stars are weapons of ultimate power, dozens of times larger than the Apocalypse warship! Such things are rare even within technological civilizations, let alone one that Zero could casually squander.

The system could only disassemble and modify the available weapons on-site, ultimately creating a flawed version of the "Black Hole War Star".

Although it has flaws, it is definitely sufficient.

Gu Heng was only very dissatisfied with the system's language function, at least in the past, but he never complained about the system's other functions because they were so easy to use and often reliable!

"Speaking of which, isn't our Source Realm... or rather, lower universe, much smaller than the Phenomenon Realm?"

Gu Heng asked again.

"It's very small. If you compare it by order of magnitude, the difference is just too huge."

The system's response was also very sincere.

"Then how do we get to the Phenomenon Realm?" "It's very simple. The host can directly cross the 'Jump Galaxy' and reach the Phenomenon Realm by using the coordinates of the Phenomenon Realm stored in the data node of the Apocalypse-class warship."

"...Leap into a galaxy? What's that?"

Gu Heng frowned and pondered.

“A ‘channel’ connecting the phenomenal world and countless lower universes.”

That's a really simple explanation, but Gu Heng isn't thinking about it too much right now. The system wants him to go to the Phenomenon Realm, to the holy land of the collective technological civilization, to help it "upgrade." These things can wait until the troubles here are resolved.

Zero stood silently to the side, perhaps not even being controlled by the system. Gu Heng took the opportunity to find a place to hide and wait quietly.

This wait.

Several days passed, and Gu Heng, growing increasingly bored, chose a comfortable spot and settled into a deep sleep. ...

Six figures appeared from the farthest edge of the void.

The Xuan Tian Realm was still a very, very far away from them, but just to be on the safe side, everyone decided to observe it first.

I don't know at all.

In fact, their route had already been clearly seen by thousands of "observation eyes," which also led to the deduction of their final stopping point!

"Nothing seems out of the ordinary, but Zero has simply vanished."

Enrico stroked his chin, gazing at the distant Xuan Tian Realm: "I can send some spirit witches to investigate first..."

"no need."

Yin Ya suddenly said.

She raised her hand and pointed to a certain spot. Everyone's gaze followed her, and in the void, there was a rather inconspicuous spatial ripple. Because its fluctuation was so small, it was impossible to detect that subtle fluctuation without the strength of a World Realm expert!

"what happened?"

Dao Tian Shengzi exclaimed in surprise.

Just then, a voice appeared in the minds of all six people at the same time.

"Come here, quick!"

That was the sound of zero.

Seeing the urgency in Ling's tone, the six of them immediately rushed towards the spatial fluctuation. Only when they got closer did they realize that the fluctuation was actually a rather hidden, self-contained space.

Through it, they saw that zero was inside.

The six of them didn't dawdle and quickly entered. As soon as they came in, Zero said impatiently, "Thank goodness you've come." "What happened? Why didn't you respond to my message?"

Yin Ya asked.

"That formidable enemy of that era is in the Xuan Tian Realm!"

Zero dropped a bombshell that shocked everyone, causing their expressions to change.

Yin Ya's pupils contracted sharply, and she said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?!"

"Sure!"

I can say with absolute certainty that zero.

"I had only been in the Xuan Tian Realm for a short time when I sensed something was wrong. All the technological creations had malfunctioned. This could only be because a higher level of technology was influencing them!"

"Moreover, the emergence of technological creations has already attracted attention, so I had no choice but to go into hiding."

The system. The group exchanged glances.

If we're talking about why there are technological civilization elements in the source realm under the jurisdiction of this immortal civilization, the only explanation, besides Zero, is that the technological civilization was taken away by the epochal god "system"!

That makes sense, indeed.

In order to avoid detection by the epochal deities who also belong to a technological civilization, Zero decided to avoid responding to any information and simply hide, which is understandable.

But Yin Ya sensed something was wrong.

"Are you alright?"

Her gaze gradually turned to surprise and suspicion.

If it's true that epochal deities can so easily influence the creations of technological civilizations...

Why is Zero okay?

He doesn't cultivate and doesn't possess any cultivation level. He only has the qualification to walk and survive in the void because he has a mechanical body and a brain that has been modified by technology. Apart from that, he is just a "mortal".

If they were facing the gods of their respective civilizations, they might not even be able to see the gods' faces before they were powerless to resist.

Yin Ya said that.

The others seemed to have the same idea, and then they looked at Zero, scrutinizing him.

"Me? What could possibly happen to me?"

Zero would simply respond with a sincere smile.

"Isn't it normal to be subdued by a powerful epochal deity?"

Rumble!

A chilling pressure emanated from outside the self-contained space, sending a shiver down everyone's spine!

It felt like a vast torrent was sweeping in from all directions! We've been tricked!
