Chapter 921: The little girl is getting impatient
The tomb owner still remembers.
The conversation he had with the adults when he was about to leave last time.
Lord Gu Heng said that as long as he can escape the pursuit of the gods and successfully enter the Epoch Graveyard from the "past", he can not only find the truth in the Epoch Graveyard, but also "jump" back to the epoch he should be in from this time-space disordered place where gods are buried!
Watch now.
He did succeed.
As for how he did it, the tomb owner didn't know either. Logically speaking, since Lord Gu Heng had returned to the past, he shouldn't have had the means to enter the Epoch Cemetery from the "past".
Unless, someone helps him. Or rather, someone wants to kill him this way, but it happens exactly what Lord Gu Heng wants!
Which possibility it is, is not important.
Anyway, with Lord Gu Heng here, everything is back on track!
"I hope you've already considered the possibility of you losing your memory..."
The tomb owner sighed.
Unlike the adults, he was forced to come to the Epoch Cemetery, and after arriving here, he couldn't find any way out.
It is foreseeable that the forces that followed Lord Gu Heng would likely be wiped out by a coalition of civilizations after he returned to the past, and now probably only one in ten survived.
otherwise.
The tomb owner wouldn't want to win over the prisoners in this epochal cemetery. The seven deputy tomb owners are already veterans who have been "serving their sentences" here for at least several epochs. Each of them is not someone to be trifled with, but they possess the strength of the Concept Realm, which can at least make up for the losses of a major battle.
He himself wasn't sure about what he had just said.
The confidence comes from the adults.
Only by contacting adults can one rely on them to leave the Epoch Cemetery.
The next step is now quite clear.
It all depends on how the adults do it!
……
"what?"
"You're saying that time flows differently here than it does outside?"
Inside a Buddhist temple.
Gu Heng frowned. "Yes, everything inside the Epoch Cemetery is different from the outside world, including time."
"Time flows very slowly here, and in some places it flows even slower. At least where you are now, one day is equivalent to one to three months outside."
Gu Xitong nodded.
Gu Heng gasped. He realized he had never considered the possibility that the flow of time might be different, but the Epoch Graveyard was clearly too special!
Is one day equivalent to several months in the outside world?
So, by all accounts, he's been at the Epoch Cemetery for about two months. Doesn't that mean several years have passed outside?!
"Oh no, oh no! According to the little girl, it means I've been missing for several years!"
If Gu Heng was somewhat unhurried before, he is now extremely anxious.
Being missing for two or three months is a completely different concept from being missing for several years.
She could wait two or three months, but if she had to wait for several years, Qin Yiyao definitely wouldn't be able to. She would probably be frantically searching for him all over the world right now!
"Don't worry, the people around you have long lifespans. They can wait for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, let alone a few years."
Gu Xitong remained indifferent as she watched Gu Heng scurrying around like an ant on a hot pan.
"How could I not worry? You're just a system without emotions, how could you understand the bond between master and disciple?"
Gu Heng rolled his eyes.
"..."
Faced with his questioning, Gu Xitong turned her face away expressionlessly.
There was no way to refute it. Although she had further improved her emotional programming after acquiring a body, she still couldn't fully understand the abstract concept of "emotion" that only existed in non-artificial life forms.
Again.
She doesn't need to understand.
I was not created to understand "emotions".
"I hope she's doing well now. But with her abilities, I think she can go anywhere in this world. Even if she's bullied, she certainly won't just swallow the loss."
Gu Heng took out a flask of wine from his system inventory, took a couple of sips, and felt a burning sensation spread through his body as the wine went down his throat, but it did indeed dispel the restlessness in his heart...
He didn't want to wait a thousand or ten thousand years; by then, the master-disciple relationship might have mutated into something quite different.
"Never mind, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you."
"There's nothing you can do."
Gu Heng took another sip of wine and pinched Gu Xitong's cheek. He had recently become obsessed with pinching her cheeks; they were so soft, and the texture was somewhat different from real flesh and blood.
It feels like a soft, cool ball of dough, and it bounces back quickly when you squeeze it.
"You can sprinkle it on me, I won't be angry with you anyway."
Gu Xitong said expressionlessly.
"I know you can't... let me lie down for a bit."
Gu Heng didn't stand on ceremony and made her kneel down. He then rested his head on Gu Xitong's lap with his eyes closed.
There's no use in being anxious.
Only after dealing with that so-called "tomb beast" can Master Wu take him to find the spacetime vortex.
This is probably something that won't happen quickly...
It will take another month or so, both before and after.
The little girl will have to wait a while longer.
