Chapter 1006: Gu Xitong's Guess
"...What I mean is, don't do it without my permission."
Seeing Gu Heng's somewhat disappointed look, Gu Xitong couldn't help but feel a strange emotion welling up in her heart. In the end, she relented a little and added a condition that she thought made no difference.
Anyway, I won't agree to him doing this in the future.
However, saying it this way can make Gu Heng less disappointed from an emotional perspective, since the words haven't been completely denied, he will feel that there is still a chance.
Human appetites are really easy to whet; they can keep you hooked for a long time.
She has figured him out completely.
"Okay, okay, with your permission." "Although it still feels great to squeeze, I won't do anything reckless without your permission."
Gu Heng was happy to be relieved. He didn't want to offend the system. He had only acted that way because of his emotions, and he would definitely not do it again!
We can't afford to offend our allies.
"Um... since you can still guide me, what should I do now?"
Since their lives are not in danger, they can still leave the technological civilization normally.
Then Gu Heng would have to consider the future.
His mood was becoming increasingly heavy and conflicted. His actions just now were nothing more than trying to find some comfort in his suffering.
His true identity has now become a heavy burden!
Now, not only his memory but also his cognition are in complete disarray. If he were an insignificant nobody, it wouldn't be so bad, but he is the ultimate madman with the most enemies in all the worlds! Gu Heng doesn't know, nor does he want to know, how many heaven-defying and ruthless things he did in the past, lest he hear about some overly shocking "feats" and end up choking on his own breath.
That's enough to know.
The number of potential allies in all the realms who are not hostile to him can probably be counted on one hand...
Gu Heng didn't know how to describe it, but he was very flustered.
Gu Xitong did not answer immediately, but fell into contemplation.
half an hour.
After what seemed like a long period of careful consideration, she said, "First, you need to resolve the issue of cognitive confusion. Your memories have been completely erased, and I see no possibility that you can retrieve them."
"Unless you have a backup plan that I don't know about."
Gu Heng blinked blankly. Had he completely lost his memory?
This is a bit cumbersome.
Without his past memories, he would be missing a lot of crucial information. At the very least, he would need to know why he was doing what he was doing, otherwise wouldn't he be setting himself up for future problems?
If I'm not careful, I might end up in the lurch for no reason!
But at this moment, Gu Heng had a sudden inspiration.
Got it!
It doesn't matter if we don't know his original purpose, but Gu Xitong is now a god!
Why not let the gods make a deduction?
"System, you say you don't know why I erased your memories and cognition, so try to deduce my purpose in doing so."
Hear the words.
Gu Xitong's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Without corresponding factual basis as a reference, it is difficult to make accurate inferences based on such subjective consciousness."
Gu Heng gently grasped her small hand, a gesture that made Gu Xitong's gaze freeze for a moment.
"Just try it for me."
Her gaze became distant, and after a long while, Gu Xitong said, "Alright... I think your initial goal was not to erase memories and cognition, but to completely erase all 'traces' of yourself in the world."
Oh?
"If you explain in detail, this might be a good opportunity."
Gu Heng immediately perked up.
This statement sounds particularly plausible.
"There exists a peculiar phenomenon in the phenomenal world: every action of every living individual leaves a 'trace,' or rather, an imprint, on the phenomenal world..."
"The cultivator civilization calls this trace 'fate connection'."
"After observing and analyzing this, the scientific and technological civilization believes that the so-called connection of destiny is actually a connection formed between all living beings and the world due to the influence of a higher level of power, which is what cultivators call 'cause and effect'."
"And this kind of cause and effect is extremely fatal for someone who wants to hide their whereabouts or even disappear completely."
Gu Xitong's analysis sounded a bit abstract, but Gu Heng still understood it.
Fate is intertwined.
Wu Zhao once used the analogy of "lines" to describe the connection of fate in order to explain the nature of this force to him.
The so-called "Nirvana Realm" is about bringing together the connections of one's destiny scattered throughout the myriad worlds, that is, gathering all the "lines" back and concentrating them into one's own being. The more "lines" one gathers, the fewer traces of cause and effect one reveals...
till the end.
When one achieves the unique status among all realms, all connections of destiny are completely unified, existing only within the cultivator's own body.
At that time, only the thickest "line" will remain, connecting cultivators with all the heavens and myriad worlds.
And this unique line can only be seen by those with extraordinary strength.
For example, conceptual giants and epochal deities...
"Hmm, it seems you understand too."
“I think you’re trying to evade capture, so you need to erase all ‘traces’.”
"But if you want to do that, your memories and cognition must also be erased, otherwise it won't be considered truly erasing all traces, because memories themselves are also part of the connection to fate." That's what he said.
Gu Heng suddenly understood.
That's it!
He had committed some heinous crime in the past, and a large number of well-known enemies came to hunt him down. In order to save his life, he had to hide himself. But to hide, he had to erase the last connection to his fate, that is, the only remaining "thread".
If the lines aren't erased, those powerful individuals can easily follow their trajectory to catch up.
If that's the case, it won't matter where I hide.
People will always be able to find him!
Once all the connections of fate were severed, Gu Heng naturally had to find a way to ensure his comeback, otherwise he might never know anything about his past!
This is the role of a "system".
She helped her, who had lost her memory and cognition, slowly return to the myriad worlds. Because the "lines" on her body had been broken long ago, her enemies could no longer find her!
Wonderful!
"Very good, I understand completely!"
Gu Heng let out a long sigh.
The mystery has been solved, and although it's unclear whether it's the truth, the explanation sounds particularly plausible and quite reasonable.
"I hope that's really the truth."
Seeing his eyes quickly clear up, as if all his pent-up emotions had vanished, Gu Xitong didn't want to pour cold water on him.
It's good that he's happy.
After all, they are allies, and no one wants their ally to be too depressed or confused, right?
"and many more."
"I've lost all my memories and cognition, so I can't judge other people's strength, or even know my own!" Gu Heng couldn't forget this.
No strength.
It's impossible to move an inch anywhere!
He is a great enemy of the era, so he should possess heaven-defying strength to roam the heavens!

P.S.: Lately, I've been seeing so many other people's posts being posted online that I'm starting to lose my own initiative.
This stuff can be really addictive if you watch it too much.
