Chapter 901: Daydreaming Again
"Alas, how many loyal and honest people have been harmed by treacherous people in this world!"
As expected, Wu Zhao believed Gu Heng's words without a doubt.
"In that case, I'll tell you about it."
Wu Zhao stood up, and Gu Heng followed him to the entrance of the Buddhist temple.
"This Epochal Graveyard isn't that complicated. It's the most ancient and malevolent place in all the realms, where epochal gods were once buried. Their residual power still tears at this chaotic spacetime!"
"And the remains of civilizations that were defeated and destroyed in struggles or completely wiped out in the great calamities of the ages were also thrown here."
"Furthermore, this place is also a place of exile for many criminals." Wu Zhao's eyes were somewhat dejected, but as he recalled the past, his eyes immediately filled with anger, as if there was still resentment lingering in his heart about his fate.
"Humph!"
"What kind of bullshit criminal are you? You can always find a pretext to condemn someone..."
"In short, Brother Gu, all you need to know is that this is not a good place. Anyone who comes here is almost guaranteed to die!"
Wu Zhao sighed and waved his hand, telling Gu Heng not to pay attention to his angry mutterings.
"So dangerous?"
Gu Heng's heart skipped a beat.
This is bad! As expected, that wretched woman from the magical civilization never intended to make his life easy!
Unexpectedly, they sent him to a cemetery where gods are buried!
He had already learned from the system that the existence of gods in the phenomenal world was not unusual. Their status was extremely high, and they were all immortal beings!
But it seems that nothing in this world is immortal; even gods have their time of decline.
But this place is called the "Epoch Cemetery," so it seems that it's not just a burial ground for gods.
Along the way, Gu Heng had passed through a junkyard that buried countless mechanical structures, and now he saw a wilderness that buried countless Buddha statues and temples.
That must be what Wu Zhao referred to as the "remnants of civilization" belonging to both technological and Buddhist civilizations.
But these two civilizations still seem to stand tall in the phenomenal world today.
And they even had the audacity to send people to cause him trouble...
wrong.
He was thinking too far ahead. He knew this place was dangerous, so there was no way he could stay long!
Gu Heng then asked, "How do we leave this place?"
"……leave?"
Wu Zhao seemed to have heard a really funny joke and suddenly burst into laughter.
The laughter made Gu Heng so embarrassed that he gripped the ground with his toes.
I'm afraid I asked a really stupid question.
"I'm not mocking Brother Gu, but there's simply no way to leave this Epochal Graveyard! It's being torn apart by the power of the gods, and the erosion of concepts is extremely severe. With our strength, it's impossible for us to leave this hellhole..."
"Once you're in, you're here forever; you can't get out."
Seeing how naive Gu Heng was, Wu Zhao wondered if laughing so loudly was a bit too immoral.
But reality won't make an exception for someone just because they're too naive.
This place was chosen as a place of exile because once you enter, there is no way you can get out unless you have the power to rival the gods of the era and the strength to forcibly tear apart the conceptual erosion left by countless gods!
Otherwise, one can only eke out a living day after day amidst the erosion of concepts, and eventually die.
Wu Zhao knew very well that his death was imminent.
In the Graveyard of the Epoch, although conceptual erosion can be resisted, it is ultimately impossible to completely withstand it. As time goes by, this omnipresent and terrifying power will slowly permeate the whole body!
It is said.
The longest-lived creature in the Epoch Graveyard only lived for eight epochs.
That being was once renowned throughout the myriad realms, so powerful that he could withstand a hundred blows from a god of the era without dying!
But ultimately, the Epoch Cemetery became his final resting place. Besides...
Wu Zhao had never heard of any living being in the world who could rival the gods. Even if there were, they would not have been reduced to being imprisoned in the Epochal Graveyard.
They all have that kind of ability, able to sit at the same table with the gods of the era; they are the kind of people everyone tries to curry favor with.
As long as one doesn't make enemies or cause trouble, establishing one's own lineage in the myriad worlds and pioneering a civilization shouldn't be a problem.
"Can't we get out...?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's heart immediately jumped.
This godforsaken place is impossible to get out of?!
He had his cat, his apprentice, Little White, and a bunch of familiar faces from the Jue Tian Pavilion waiting to see him. How could he possibly die here?!
It can't be!
“Brother Gu, it’s not your fault that you don’t understand these things since you’re new here.”
"But since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Countless cultivators throughout history have tried to escape this place, but none have succeeded. Or do you think, Brother Gu, you'll be the first one to break out?"
Wu Zhao was trying very hard to persuade Gu Heng.
"Who knows? I want to give it a try."
Gu Heng was determined.
He couldn't stay here no matter what; he had to escape!
Although only ten days have passed, he has been thinking about the other people.
But right now, the most urgent task is to figure out the situation.
Since Wu Zhao kept insisting that there was no possibility of escaping, Gu Heng had no choice but to wait and figure out as much as possible before making a move.
After all, they are elders here. If you don't listen to the advice of elders, you'll suffer the consequences.
"Hahaha!"
"If we were to meet outside, we would surely become inseparable brothers!"
Wu Zhao also laughed heartily; Gu Heng's personality was indeed very much to his liking.
Even if you know it's impossible, you still have to try, otherwise you'll inevitably have regrets.
"Here's what we'll do. You should rest first. In these ruins of Buddhist civilization, the effects of conceptual erosion are almost nonexistent. Those Buddhas were truly remarkable. Even after being dead for so long, they still possess such merit and karmic power to protect us 'sinners'."
“Such safe places are not many in the Epoch Cemetery, there are only a dozen or so, and these are all our ‘grave keeper’ territory.”
Wu Zhao led Gu Heng deeper into the Buddhist temple.
"It sounds like the gravediggers are a very powerful force."
Gu Heng seemed to be deep in thought.
To put it bluntly, the "grave keepers" are actually a group of prisoners who were exiled here and formed their own group.
But here's the question: what threats are there in this epochal graveyard that would make them band together to fight them?
He was also thinking about Wu Zhao, and the "conceptual erosion" that Yue Ru had also mentioned...
Why were these two so wary of each other, and why did Yue Ru not dare to say a word? Yet he didn't sense anything was amiss.
Wu Zhao seemed not to have mentioned this to him at all.
"Hmph! Of course!"
Wu Zhao rubbed his fists, seemingly starting to fantasize: "If we could leave this Epoch Graveyard, we could easily crush any of those powerful civilizations outside!"
"But you also said that this Epoch Graveyard is indispensable." "Yes."
Wu Zhao scratched his head.
I'm daydreaming again. I should stop fantasizing about these unrealistic things.
