Chapter 99
The moment the ancient tomb's formation disappeared, everyone's interstellar weapons returned to normal. The female ghost also felt the force that was preventing her from leaving disappear, and she was instantly overjoyed.
After Gu Bai and Han Lijun steadied themselves, she quickly floated over and bowed to Gu Bai with tears of joy.
"Thank you for your mercy, Immortal. Greetings …"
The female ghost had been trapped in the tomb for tens of thousands of years, unable to be reincarnated. Even if she was a vengeful ghost with a strong will, she was about to go crazy.
In addition, her fate was special. Not only could she not die, but as long as the ancient tomb's formation existed, her ghost body would automatically cultivate. She could not die even if she wanted to. How painful was that? Now that she was free, she was naturally happy.
"There's no need to thank me. The reincarnation passage in this world has been closed, so I can't help you to reincarnate. You've already cultivated deeply, so you can find a chance to ascend to the Upper Realm. Also, take those ghosts that you've turned into slaves with you. They've been tainted with your Qi, so the Underworld won't accept them. Their cultivation is shallow, so their souls will only disperse if they stay …"
Gu Bai instructed in a low voice. He had always been indifferent and had a strong control over his emotions. Even though he was shocked by the strange relief sculptures, he quickly calmed down.
There were too many doubts today, and his mind was in a mess. He could not sort them out one by one. He had to go back first.
"Don't worry, Immortal. I understand …"
The female ghost nodded. Tens of thousands of years had already wiped away her resentment of being buried with others. If she could continue living, she naturally did not want to continue creating evil debts and disperse her soul.
After bowing respectfully to Gu Bai again, the female ghost disappeared. The remaining survivors quickly contacted the outside for help when they realized that their communicators and other things could be used.
While waiting for help, a curious scholar came up to them. "General Han, Student Qiao, what did you see over there?"
After the danger to their lives was removed, the researchers' dedication was reflected. Everyone was very curious about what was in the main tomb that was heavily guarded.
Han Lijun did not speak. Her eyes were a little red, as if she was possessed. Gu Bai suppressed the emotions in his heart and opened his interstellar bracelet to show a few pictures of the relief sculptures that he had deliberately taken just now.
"There's nothing special about it. It's just some records and reliefs …"
Gu Bai had taken the pictures selectively. There were only a few simple pictures of people hugging each other intimately. As for the relief sculpture behind, he did not take any pictures. His instincts told him that it was best not to let others know about those things.
No one doubted him. Although they couldn't see clearly what was on the opposite side of the mountain, there was indeed nothing there when they looked at it from afar.
However, at this moment, the relief sculpture that Gu Bai showed everyone shocked everyone. What everyone was surprised about was not that the two men in the relief sculpture were in love. In fact, the Interstellar Era was already very open. Not only were men in love, there were even weirdos who fell in love with robots.
There was not much content in the few relief sculptures, but it was enough for a group of researchers to fill in the gaps. Soon, they connected the whole tomb and explained a beautiful love story.
"The man in the sculpture should be Emperor Nan Xun, right? As for the young man, he's probably Emperor Nan Xun's beloved. If he isn't, then it's really difficult to explain why such a record would be carved into this noble tomb …."
Someone sighed. Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that this explanation was very reasonable.
Gu Bai did not refute and allowed everyone to fill in the gaps. He looked at Han Lijun, who was still in a daze, and his heart shrank.
He did not know what kind of relationship he had with the young man in the relief sculpture, but those relief sculptures clearly showed the story of the man and the young man in the past.
Was the reason Ye Cang had not told him about his situation because of that young man?
Did he fall in love with him because of that young man ….
What did that half of his face represent?
Could it be telling him that the relief sculpture was his and Ye Cang's previous lives?
Did Ye Cang fall in love with him because he was his reincarnation?
All kinds of questions involuntarily surfaced in Gu Bai's mind. He could not accept this speculation.
Everyone had their own way of thinking. No matter how others saw it, to him, reincarnation was just a lie.
In his heart, he, Gu Bai, was Gu Bai. But now, what was he in Ye Cang's heart ….
No, it was not like that!
Gu Bai fiercely bit his tongue and forced himself not to think too much. Everything was really inexplicable. Guessing without any beginning or end would only disturb his mind.
But there was always a kind of panic in his heart. A large blank space made it impossible for him to think.
It was not until Han Lijun recovered from her daze that she suddenly turned around and hugged him for a kiss. Their sticky and slippery tongues intertwined, making a lingering sound that dispelled the uneasiness in his heart.
"Why did you kiss me?"
After the kiss, Gu Bai's fingers tightly grasped Han Lijun's clothes with extremely complicated emotions.
"I don't know. I just like …."
The demonic look on Han Lijun's face disappeared. She stared at Gu Bai and hugged him tightly in her arms like a treasure.
He did not tell the truth. It was not just that he liked her, but that he was afraid. It was an indescribable fear, the fear that this person would suddenly disappear.
"… …"
Gu Bai stared fixedly at him. His chaotic mind instantly cleared up and his heart settled. Yes, he liked him. It was not based on his memory of someone else.
Every man in this world had no past memories, but he would always be able to recognize him. He would always be able to fall in love with him. This was an undeniable feeling.
Since the person who left behind the relief sculpture could write the last words, it meant that this person knew his character very well.
All of this did not seem to be telling a story, but … as if it was a warning.
"Don't forget, don't believe, don't panic, don't be anxious, remember …."
The last words of the relief sculpture appeared again. Gu Bai's mind cleared up and he let out a long breath. He suppressed all the distracting thoughts and firmly engraved the relief sculpture in his mind into the bottom of his heart. His gaze became firm again.
He would not believe anyone. He only believed in his own feelings!
… …
Without the obstruction of the array and the danger of the malicious ghosts in the tomb, the remaining mortal traps were not difficult for the Galactic people. The rescue team outside the tomb quickly arrived at the main hall where the Nan Xun Thearch's coffin was buried.
When they entered the tomb, there were a total of 21 people, including Gu Bai. Now, there were only 10 people left. More than half of them were soldiers. There were a few scholars from the archaeological team who were lucky enough to survive.
They were all frightened. Under the escort of the rescue team, the remaining people returned safely. As for the remaining matters of the tomb in the Nuo Da Land Palace, they would be handled by professionals.
Everything in the tomb belonged to the people of the Galactic Empire. They were not just priceless antiques. They were proof of the ancestral roots of the people of the Empire. They were the beliefs of an entire race.
The entire journey to the tomb was shown to the Galactic people through smart cameras. When Gu Bai and Han Lijun walked out of the tomb hand in hand and smiled at each other, the entire Galactic Web cheered.
In the past, they might have looked down on Gu Bai and felt that he was not worthy of their prince charming. However, at this moment, there was only one thought in everyone's minds. Other than him, no one else was worthy of General Han.
On the other hand, Nangong Xuan's trip to the tomb not only made everyone understand her ignorance, but they were also angered by her actions of dragging her companions to their deaths in the tomb.
It was difficult for the Galactic people to reproduce. Everyone's life was the most precious. This was especially so after tens of thousands of years of war between the people of Earth and the people of other planets. It made all the people of Earth who had migrated to the Galaxy reach an unprecedented level of unity.
Every Galactic person was taught from the day they became sensible that the weapons of the Empire's people were only used against the enemy. People who killed each other were absolutely unforgivable!
When Nangong Xuan walked out of the tomb, before she could react, she was detained by the soldiers and sent to the Empire's court for trial.
The Galactic people paid close attention to her case almost as much as they paid attention to the ancient tombs on Earth. On the day of the trial, everyone in the Galaxy watched online.
During the trial, Nangong Xuan refused to admit anything. She did not feel that she had done anything wrong. She did not have the sense of belonging and unity that the Galactic people had, so she could not understand the anger of the people.
Under the strong request of the family of the unlucky scholar who died for her and the joint lawsuit of the netizens, she was sentenced to be exiled to Planet H0009 for life.
Although the family of the deceased was not satisfied with this sentence, Planet H0009 had the worst environment in the entire Galaxy. It was recognized as a prison in the Galaxy. The environment was barren and filled with insects and beasts.
Even the most powerful galactic robber could not escape from that place. Even if Nangong Xuan's mental strength was good, she could only live in fear and struggle for the rest of her life in that place. It was worse than death …
Gu Bai did not pay much attention to Nangong Xuan's news. A month after returning to the Galaxy, he registered his marriage with Han Lijun.
Although the Han family did not approve of their grandson marrying another man because they had no children, they could not do anything. Their grandson always did things his own way.
Because of his performance in the tomb, Gu Bai was invited by the Emperor to oversee the protection and development of ancient tombs on Earth.
The technology in the Galaxy was very advanced, so the development of ancient tombs was not difficult. Gu Bai completed the work in just a few years.
However, after the development of the ancient tombs was completed, he did not return to the capital planet. Instead, he continued to stay on Earth. He had too many doubts about ancient tombs and he needed to study them carefully. Han Lijun also resigned from her position as the Empire's general and went to Earth to live.
The lifespan of people in the Galaxy was much longer than on Earth. Almost everyone had a lifespan of two to three hundred years.
However, in such a long period of time, Gu Bai almost turned the entire ancient tomb upside down but still could not solve the doubts in his heart. Instead, there were more and more mysteries.
Also, the female ghost, Jiao Nu, who was supposed to ascend to heaven, returned not long after leaving the ancient tomb. She pitifully looked for him for help.
In this world, not only was the reincarnation passage to the underworld sealed, even the passage to heaven seemed to have disappeared. The entire world seemed to have been abandoned.
Without a doubt, if the Galaxy continued to develop, the reproduction of all living things in this world would become more and more difficult. In the end, all living things would cease to exist!
This was simply too terrifying. The reincarnation passage and the ascension passage could not be closed for no reason. The three thousand worlds were connected in a cycle.
Who was it that dared to do such a crazy thing? This was basically murdering all the living things in this world …
One mystery after another circled around in his mind, and he could not solve them. Gu Bai could only suppress all of them. He felt that all of this seemed to be related to him.
Unfortunately, no matter how he guessed, there was a huge gap in his heart, and he could not figure out any clues at all.
However, no matter how complicated it was, he believed that there would be a day when the truth would be revealed. He would definitely solve all of these mysteries one by one!
With strong determination, Gu Bai's soul left without hesitation at the moment his body died and returned to the starry sky.
However, when he returned to the starry sky, a huge suction force appeared in the void and sucked his soul away.
…
At the same time, a strange phenomenon appeared above a majestic palace in the nine heavens, and it attracted the attention of everyone in the Celestial World.
A few white-robed Taoists who were cultivating in seclusion suddenly felt something and opened their eyes abruptly.
"This, this aura is … No, impossible, how can he still be alive!
It's over, it's over. If that lunatic knows that he's still alive and desperately runs out of that place, the world will be in chaos again! "
A red-faced old man stood up from the futon in horror.
The other Taoists also had ugly expressions. An old man in a purple Taoist robe looked at the red-faced old man with a worried expression and said in a low voice.
"I'm afraid this time, it's not just that lunatic who is in chaos. Only the Emperor can bring him back to life … Let's go and take a look now. It's not that easy to revive that person. The Emperor will definitely not allow him to remember what happened in the past!"
"Okay …"
Everyone was shocked. Their throats were dry, and they had difficulty breathing. They nodded.
