Chapter 872: You're nothing but a fart, Gu Heng!
According to the system, the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc, once evolved into a flying machine, can fly in "any environment".
Then.
That endless void outside should count too, right?
Gu Heng wasn't quite sure.
But he didn't know what the outer world was like, since he had never actually been outside the world before, and his last trip to the Demon Realm was by teleportation array.
Finally, as the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc accelerated, Gu Heng left the clouds behind, soared into the high heavens, and finally entered the endless void.
"This……"
Gu Heng was shocked. He had been worried that he wouldn't be able to enter the universe, but at this moment, he felt nothing at all. It was as if he had passed through a transparent water curtain and entered this vast universe, and everything was as before.
He can still breathe, see, and hear.
Just as he had imagined, the endless void was completely dark, yet within the boundless darkness, there were twinkling stars, streaking across the darkness and leaving long, narrow trails.
Gu Heng felt the vast fluctuations brought by the endless starry river.
"It's so beautiful."
He sighed, realizing that he had never been qualified to see such a sight before. Regardless of what others called "emptiness," in Gu Heng's eyes, this was the universe!
The most realistic universe!
The universe is beautiful, but Gu Heng's gaze turned cold when it fell on the mechanical island not far away.
That island wasn't particularly beautiful, although some people who appreciate its metallic texture might find its exquisite design appealing enough.
The entire island was made of gears and metal that Gu Heng was very familiar with. Each gear was enormous, shimmering with a dark blue luster, and looked cold and eerie.
The entire island seemed alive, and the sounds of the machinery running could be heard clearly.
The ability to transmit sound within the universe, while somewhat contrary to common sense, was something that had been common knowledge in the past, so Gu Heng didn't pay much attention to it.
"Data node of technological civilization detected...Analyzing..."
Suddenly, the system's voice popped into my mind again.
He turned his head and saw the system's girl projection standing next to him, also looking at the mechanical island in front of him.
Why did you suddenly start speaking again?
What are you analyzing?
"Analysis complete... Shares the same characteristics as the system. Host, please move closer to the data node so the system can receive critical information!"
Although the system doesn't have normal human emotions, Gu Heng can still tell whether it's urgent or not. For example, when it's urgent, the volume in its brain will instantly increase by a level, giving Gu Heng a mental volume bombardment.
When there's no rush, speak slowly and softly.
Now, the system is clearly in a hurry.
But where is that "data node"?
He was completely unfamiliar with this mechanical island, and his purpose in coming here was to meet "Zero," who was said to be a great threat.
"Don't worry, it's still too early to say whether things will be settled here."
The system is in a hurry, but Gu Heng won't be in a hurry because of that.
soon.
He boarded the mechanical island.
After putting away the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc, Gu Heng began to survey his surroundings. Apart from the metal machinery scattered everywhere, the place seemed to be deserted.
The island didn't look very big from the outside, but as soon as Gu Heng stepped onto it, he felt a heavy weight on his face. In front of him was only a short tower that looked like it was built with gears and mechanical walls, standing there all alone, without any other buildings.
"The data node is just ahead," the system reminded him at just the right time.
It seems we'll have to go in then.
Perhaps that zero is sitting inside waiting for me.
Gu Heng stepped inside, his steps steady and unhurried.
The tower had no door; once inside, it was a vast, empty space. The first thing Gu Heng saw was the crystal in the center of the tower, as tall as a person, emitting a crystalline blue light. If there was anything else that gave him a sense of déjà vu, it was the large amount of visible data streams floating around the crystal. Perhaps this was what the system referred to as "data nodes."
But behind this crystal is a person, someone Gu Heng could understand as soon as he saw it, someone who could explain why he was acting strangely.
Indeed, apart from his head, the rest of his body was entirely mechanical. Moreover, Gu Heng couldn't understand how that human head could be connected to a mechanical body, and how the connection at the neck looked so seamless, which was simply a result that defied the laws of nature!
Gu Heng saw Zero, and Zero naturally saw Gu Heng as well.
"who are you?"
Zero raised his eyes and asked indifferently.
He sensed it the moment the uninvited guest stepped onto the mechanical island.
But no matter from any angle you "observe" this human, you can only get one result—ordinary, non-threatening, and not aggressive at all.
Gu Heng, in turn, used an "omniscient perspective" on Zero.
The result was... "Object: Zero"
Threat level: Unknown
Origin: Unknown
For the first time, the level of threat was "unknown," which was something Gu Heng hadn't anticipated.
If the system had clearly stated that this guy was dangerous, Gu Heng would have turned around and left without a second thought. But it turned out to be "unknown"?
So, should he run, fight, or stay and see if he can hold his own against this guy?
Forget it, I'm already here, why should I back down now?
With this thought in mind, Gu Heng steeled his resolve, straightened his neck, puffed out his chest, and declared, "I am Gu Heng!"
"I heard someone's looking for me, is it you?"
Gu Heng?
Zero paused for a moment, then stared at him intently for a few seconds.
Then his expression turned cold, and he sneered, "And who are you, this swindler, daring to put on airs in front of me?"
"You say you're Gu Heng? Look at your ordinary appearance, who gave you the audacity to impersonate him!"
Suddenly being scolded, Gu Heng was dumbfounded. The key was that he didn't know how to refute it. He was "Gu Heng", but the guy in front of him didn't recognize him!
obviously.
In Ling's mind, "Gu Heng" was definitely a different person altogether.
Gu Heng watched as he suddenly started to go crazy and curse. He also started to get anxious. This was his name from birth, and he had always traveled the world without changing his name. It was inappropriate to be rejected like this right away!
"I'm not a buddy, I'm Gu Heng!"
"You're a piece of shit!"
Zero, too, was speaking with conviction. "What I'm looking for is the 'Enemy of the Epoch' who caused a catastrophe in the phenomenal world and plunged the world into chaos, not some brainless idiot like you who calls yourself so-and-so!"
Zero grew angrier as he spoke, then seemed to have figured something out, and in a fit of anger stood up: "Fine, very well!"
"That Jue Tian Pavilion, instead of properly carrying out my requests, actually resorted to this deceptive tactic, finding just any ordinary scapegoat to fool me!"
Zero finally understood.
The most demonic tower and the supreme immortal palace had witnessed his methods, so they obediently followed his orders.
He had annihilated the demon army and killed a leader of the Immortal Palace, so they were all intimidated by him.
But Jue Tian Ge didn't have it!
So, does Jue Tian Ge think he's someone who's easy to talk to?
Damn it, if we don't strike hard, these ants will really think he's here to negotiate!
How dare they try to fool him with an ordinary guy? If it really was that "Gu Heng" appearing in front of him, he would have been able to tell immediately!
That was the "Great Enemy of the Epoch," feared by the entire phenomenal world and sought to be eradicated by even the gods of the Epoch!
The results of it?
The guy standing in front of me now exudes an air of "ordinary" from the inside out.
Be funny!
Hmph, looks like I'll have to kill a few leaders of the Absolute Heaven Pavilion and let them know that I'm not someone to be trifled with!
Ling had just stood up, intending to go to the Xuan Tian Realm to demonstrate his power...
then.
He then found himself unable to move.
