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

Chapter 932: The Road Ahead is Long

Chapter 932: The Road Ahead is Long

"People from the past?"

Gu Heng repeated the strange title, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples. "You mean... you come from the past?"

His understanding of these concepts of time was limited to yesterday, today, and tomorrow; anything beyond that would be beyond his syllabus…

Let’s not talk about that.

These brother and sister in front of me have strange names, and they look like humans but are definitely not human. The most important thing is why I came to this place and saw them.

But...

Being surrounded by a group of tomb beasts and torn to pieces is already good enough. It's hard to say I have any right to ask for more.

"What you said is not wrong, but it may be different from your understanding."

Xi's voice was deep and resonant, like the tolling of a bell. "We have been banished to the most distant past, all the ties of fate have been severed, and there is no possibility of leaving the 'past'... Although we can still witness everything that happens, we cannot truly participate in it."

As he spoke, a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

"This is probably the cruelest punishment in the world."

"exile?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, then reached out his hand, intending to touch Xi's chest.

Then his palm went through it.

They were completely untouchable, as if two different worlds had overlapped, able to communicate but utterly unable to touch each other. However…

Xi just casually tore open a space, which clearly shows that her power is definitely not small.

And this force can also "influence" him.

What is going on here?

"...Never mind all that, I can't understand it anyway. Do you two have anything else to say to me? If not, please see me out."

"I'm still hoping to leave the Epoch Cemetery and go out to find my acquaintances."

Gu Heng withdrew his hand and said decisively.

What he was really thinking about right now was Gu Xitong. Although the old system interface was gone, he could still call up system functions if he wanted to, but that was not possible here.

So this means he's separated from the system again.

That can't be! These two siblings seem friendly and mysterious, but Gu Heng doesn't expect them to provide him with any sense of security.

Xi walked to the massive, dark gold door, her slender fingers tracing the patterns on it: "Young Master Gu, this is not your first time here."

"This is impossible."

Gu Heng shook his head. "If I had ever been to such a strange place, I would definitely remember it."

"So-called 'memory' is nothing more than a trace on the connection of fate, which can be erased or modified."

Xi turned around and looked directly into Gu Heng's eyes: "Just like you don't remember ever having been here."

These words sounded rather mystical, but Gu Heng just scoffed, trying to show his indifference that he didn't take them to heart.

But in reality, he was actually a little unsure.

His mind was brimming with memories, including those from his previous life after he transmigrated, yet the two people before him seemed to have mysterious origins and possessed considerable insight…

I am afraid.

What they say may not be false.

But I don't feel anything at all. Is that normal?

He preferred not to think about it so much. Whether what the two siblings said was true or false, it would only disturb his thoughts and not help him at all.

My goal is clear: to leave the Epoch Graveyard as quickly as possible!

"...What exactly do you want?"

Gu Heng narrowed his eyes.

Xi thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "We'll talk about these things later. There's still a lot you need to know right now. When you return to the Epoch Cemetery, remember to go to the deepest part."

After saying that, he nodded to Xi.

Xi raised her hand and casually slashed out a spacetime rift, which directly enveloped Gu Heng.

"What does it mean to go to the deepest part..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

After a flash and a dim flash.

On this isolated island in space, only Xi and Xi remain.

"He seemed to have anticipated that he would lose his memory, didn't he?"

Xi looked at his younger sister.

"Well, I don't know what he encountered outside, but it was within his expectations. Returning to the Epoch Graveyard is also... Since he has amnesia, he has to learn everything he knew before again."

Xi sighed.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It seems he'll have to wait a while longer to find out the 'truth' he wants to know."

“But this time, he’s qualified to know those things.” As the elder brother, Xi recalled their previous meeting.

It's not so much that things have changed, since although Gu Heng doesn't remember much, his appearance has remained the same.

The last time he came, he came to demand the truth.

At that time, Gu Heng was not qualified to know the truth. It was too heavy a burden, one that even the most powerful civilization of the time could not bear, and he was just a single person.

Perhaps it wasn't just one person. Xi had no doubt that someone like him possessed the courage to raise a large force to serve him and fight for him.

But that's not enough.

“I think it won’t be too long before he comes here to meet us again.”

Xi said.

"Let's just wait patiently in the 'past'."...

After experiencing another dizzying sensation and the feeling of going blind, Gu Heng managed to regain his composure this time.

This sudden teleportation was indeed unpleasant.

"Okay, where is this now?"

Gu Heng looked around and saw only silence, not even the rustling of a breeze. He could only see a thick layer of mist drifting by, mixed with some dust.

Just to be on the safe side, he tried taking out the Goose Feather Blade from his system inventory.

The system suddenly became usable again, it seems that it has re-established "connection" with Gu Xitong.

Sudden.

A path appeared amidst the thick fog, though it wasn't quite a path; some parts of the fog had thinned out. "Let me go deeper... Could it be that this is where I go deeper?"

Gu Heng recalled what Xi had said.

Enveloped in mist, I feared that if I didn't continue down this road, there was nowhere else to go.

As Gu Heng walked down the road, he was cautious, and his caution was justified, because after walking for less than half an hour, strange beast shadows began to appear on both sides!

Of course, how could this place not have tomb beasts?

"White?"

Gu Heng immediately saw at least four or five tomb beasts rushing towards him, but they were different from the tomb beasts he had encountered before. They were all white and covered with fresh blood, making them look even more ferocious!

We've encountered a new variety again.

He gripped his goose-feather saber tightly, and as the white tomb beast charged, he skillfully slashed it down one by one! "Hmm, that's all?"

Gu Heng frowned, looking at his blade, which was devoid of blood, only wisps of white smoke rising from it.

This white tomb beast is a bit too fragile.

I'm probably the weakest in the Gravekeeper faction, yet they can still take me down with a single strike.

But that's fine too. If more of those bizarre black tomb beasts or tomb beast kings came, he would probably be killed as soon as he saw them.

Gu Heng flicked his sword and continued forward.

What awaits him at the end of this road?

I never would have guessed.
