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

Chapter 916: Why are you so upset?

The tomb keepers all seemed to deeply abhor the so-called "tomb beasts".

Upon hearing that the top leaders among the tomb keepers had made a decision, they were all excited and eager to try.

Gu Heng didn't quite understand. He was a newcomer and didn't know what past grudges these tomb beasts had with the tomb guardians. Anyway, all he cared about now was finding the spacetime vortex and leaving.

"It looks like we're going to be quite busy from now on."

Yue Ru sighed.

Although the tomb guardians' force is quite loose, that's only in normal times. The deputy tomb masters all guard the remains of the gods, and they would never leave without important business. And that mysterious tomb master has not appeared for a long time... So.

The secondary tomb owner is the highest-ranking one.

Their statement proves that this time, a major conflict is definitely in the works!

Wu Zhao said a few words briefly, then his gaze fell on Gu Heng. Without delay, he walked straight over and said in a very warm tone, "Brother Gu, you're finally back."

"You've been gone for quite some time now. I was worried that you might meet with bad luck on your first attempt to explore ancient ruins."

As a hall master, Wu Zhao treated the new recruits quite well.

of course.

He thought he got along well with Gu Heng, and Gu Heng didn't want to slap a smiling face.

"Don't worry, Master Wu. I have Miss Yue Ru with me, so nothing will happen."

Gu Heng laughed. Yue Ru, standing to the side, was secretly sweating.

Will nothing happen if she goes with her?

It's more like Gu Heng can go wherever he wants without any trouble. At most, she's just riding on his coattails to ensure her safety.

She was truly flattered by Gu Heng's praise.

"Haha, Yue Ru is one of my most capable assistants, and she's quite enthusiastic about helping newcomers."

Wu Zhao laughed loudly, his gaze sweeping around and immediately landing on the well-behaved and quiet girl next to Gu Heng.

"Who is this?"

Wu Zhao looked at Gu Xitong, and his expression suddenly changed.

As the head of the hall, and having been exiled to the Epoch Cemetery early on, his insight was incredibly shrewd. Gu Heng went out alone, but returned with a seemingly human girl by his side… This was definitely unusual. Moreover, this girl was too quiet, too… exquisitely beautiful.

Wu Zhao was certain that he had never seen a woman like this in his life; she was so perfect that it seemed unreal.

"She's someone I know, her name is Gu Xitong. She'll be working for me from now on. I don't think Hall Master Wu will have any objections."

Gu Heng said casually.

"of course not."

"The more tomb keepers, the better."

Wu Zhao also had some doubts, but he didn't ask any more questions. There were unwritten rules among the tomb keepers, one of which was not to pry into each other's private affairs. Everyone had their own things to do, and there was no need to meddle in other people's business.

"You heard what I just said, didn't you?"

"Yes, we need to deal with the tomb beasts, but I have no idea what they are."

Gu Heng scratched his head. Wu Zhao said in a deep voice, "The purpose of this summons is to prepare everyone. The entire Tomb Keeper will be involved. Although you are a newcomer, you are no exception this time."

"You probably don't know what kind of monsters the Tomb Beast is. Let me tell you in detail."

Immediately afterwards, Wu Zhao began to introduce the "tomb beasts" to Gu Heng.

These tomb beasts seem to be related to conceptual erosion. These monsters look very abstract and bizarre, but the only thing they have in common is that they are like walking poison. Wherever they go, conceptual erosion will even materialize and show a lot of anomalies.

Moreover, the number of tomb beasts was extremely large.

all in all.

They are not easy to deal with, and the tomb beasts are also divided into different levels, some strong and some weak.

"By the way, Hall Master Wu, do you know where the spacetime vortex is in this Epoch Graveyard?" After a brief conversation, Gu Heng brought up the important matter that he cared about.

"Spacetime vortex?"

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that Gu Heng knew this.

"I didn't expect you to know about it too. But what are you looking for that spacetime vortex for?"

"It is said that one can leave the Epoch Cemetery from there."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao was speechless: "Leave the Epoch Cemetery? Who told you that?"

"I heard about it by chance."

Gu Heng naturally had no intention of revealing the existence of the system. In any case, if he didn't say anything, no one would know Gu Xitong's true identity.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "No matter where you heard it from, you can't take it seriously. I don't know if the spacetime vortex can leave, but that catastrophic phenomenon is difficult to approach even if you want to!"

"The forces within this epochal graveyard are chaotic and complex, and spacetime distortions and collapses occur frequently. Those spacetime vortices are the manifestation of spacetime collapse!"

"I've told you before, the tomb keeper has only been replaced once. The previous one was caught in a time vortex, which is why he died a gruesome death!"

Gu Heng frowned.

"What? That's how the secondary tomb owner died?"

Is this even happening?

He knew that if the tomb keeper's deputy tomb owner were placed in the phenomenal world, he would definitely be considered a great figure in a civilization!

Conceptual Realm!

This is the most powerful realm Gu Heng knows of so far. Above that lies the realm of gods, which mortals must not touch! It is said that after Nirvana, all laws return to oneness. Regardless of one's civilization or cultivation method, whether one's strength can be further improved depends entirely on the true source of the concept.

Even someone with such power would die if caught in a spacetime vortex.

Gu Heng glanced at Gu Xitong beside him without making it obvious. The latter still had that indifferent and aloof expression, too much like a human.

But she wouldn't harm herself.

If the system says that the spacetime vortex can leave the Epoch Graveyard, then it definitely can!

Gu Heng had this kind of trust in the system.
