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

Chapter 1122: The Loot of the Robbery

Lonely Hill, Small Courtyard.

The sun rises just in time.

Gu Heng rubbed his sleepy eyes, walked out of the small house, and looked around the courtyard covered with fallen leaves.

Yes, it's still the same as yesterday.

The mountain breeze was cool and crisp, carrying the scent of grass and trees. Occasionally, a few birds would chirp in the distance, but there was no other sound. The place was so quiet that it made one feel uneasy.

Gu Heng knew he was leaving today, but he felt he could come back to this little courtyard in the future. It was a good place for him to escape reality and enjoy peace and quiet.

He sat down at the table and started a fire to brew tea.

At the same time, he took off a crystal ball about half the size of his palm that was tied around his waist and placed it on the table to examine it again.

This crystal ball is beautiful.

From the outside, it looks like an exquisitely crafted work of art. Inside the crystal sphere is a deep darkness that seems to contain the starry sky, slowly rotating like ink painting within the limited volume of the crystal sphere.

Gu Heng reached out his hand, and after feeling the cool, smooth touch on his fingertips, a thought struck him!

Whoosh!

A soft yet tough black scroll was taken out.

The scroll was heavy, yet it was neither metal nor wood. It felt warm to the touch, yet carried a chilling coldness. A twisted, barely recognizable symbol was engraved on the scroll cover. The symbol seemed to be constantly changing, and if you looked at it for a long time, you could even feel that it was slowly writhing and devouring the light.

Gu Heng frowned and put it aside.

He then "scooped" into the crystal ball.

This time it's an antique key, with a dull, eye-like gemstone inlaid on the handle.

Take it out again.

It was a broken precious blade, with colorful light flowing from the broken part. Inside, a powerful ripple was sealed, which was pure and sharp. Just holding the jade slip made Gu Heng feel a stinging sensation on his skin.

Next was a fist-sized, crimson-red "heart" with what appeared to be flowing magma inside, and a surface covered in scale-like patterns...

The items were taken out one by one and placed on the rough stone table in the courtyard.

A bronze mirror with cracked edges but still crystal clear; a seed enveloped in pale golden flames; an old book exuding an aura of decay and rebirth...

There was also a rolled-up banner.

"Hmm...which one was I analyzing the day before yesterday?"

Gu Heng looked at the pile of things on the table and scratched his head.

"Xi Tong?"

Gu Heng subconsciously called out in his heart.

That familiar voice, almost a part of him, with a slightly mechanical yet incredibly lively quality, did not respond this time.

"Tsk, I almost forgot, she has things to do."

Gu Heng clicked his tongue, somewhat displeased.

This seems to be the umpteenth time he hasn't been able to react and the system can't respond to him.

It seems there are too many to count.

The last time Gu Xitong spoke with him was before he cooperated with Gu Ce in acting in Qinggu Divine Capital.

In fact, Gu Heng also knew that Gu Xitong was in a state where she was not in a position to respond to him at any time. Last time, he learned that the physical body that Gu Xitong used for action was severely damaged, and at that time she said that she would make the entire technological civilization prepare for war and act according to the plan she had set.

since then.

This master of technological civilization, as if caught in radio silence, ceased to respond.

Of course, Gu Heng had a spy from the technological civilization by her side, so she knew that neither she nor the technological civilization was in trouble. However, everyone was busy with their own affairs, so there was no need to bother with telepathic communication.

but.

Before Gu Xitong completely stopped responding.

She handed all the "system functions" back to him.

It was from that moment that Gu Heng learned a fact...

The system is not omnipotent.

Although she is an artificial god of the era, what she can do is not as all-powerful as Gu Heng imagined. Most of the abilities within the system actually rely on the treasures of civilizations that he once seized from various civilizations!

For example, the system shop and system backpack are essentially provided by the treasure in front of him called the "Eternal Crystal Sphere".

Why is it called the Eternal Sphere?

Gu Heng didn't understand.

Gu Xitong didn't understand either; the name of this treasure was given to her by Gu Heng.

After connecting to the database of the technological civilization, she immediately began searching for information about the crystal ball through the data warehouse of the technological civilization, but to no avail.

and so.

The origin of this thing is unknown.

However, Gu Heng already knew very well what the Eternal Crystal Sphere was for: it was a treasure for storing items.

The so-called system shop is actually a large inventory that was originally stored in the Eternal Crystal Sphere. Gu Xitong only took some of it for Gu Heng. The system backpack is the same. Although the Eternal Crystal Sphere already contains a lot of things, there is still a lot of empty space.

According to Gu Xitong, the capacity of this eternal crystal sphere is...

It's terrifyingly large.

It seems capable of containing the entire technological civilization.

Their technological civilization's territory is already the largest in the world, including nearly a million lower-dimensional source realms under their control, all of which can be contained in this crystal sphere that is only half the size of a palm.

Even Gu Heng, who was used to hearing sensational stories, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed when he learned how terrifying the Eternal Crystal Sphere was.

It's really scary.

The reason Gu Heng was able to stay alone in this desolate mountain forest for several months was entirely because he relied on studying the things inside the Eternal Crystal Sphere to relieve his boredom.

Don’t say anything else.

The amount of stuff inside is ridiculously large.

Let alone a few months, even several eras might not be enough for him to fully understand it.

Therefore, Gu Heng could only distinguish them by importance, one by one. At least he used to know how to categorize them, so finding them wasn't difficult.

All of these items currently displayed on the table are "Treasures of Civilization".

Each piece exudes an ancient and extraordinary aura.

This is considered an important achievement that has made him a "great enemy of the era" and ensured that he is remembered by the world.

Those civilizations whose treasures he stole will certainly not forget him easily; they might even hate him for the rest of their lives.

Also no one.
