My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang sat in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

In the sky, the figure of Commandery Princess of Prince Ning gradually merged into the clouds, no longer clearly visible.

Not until the figure of the Commandery Princess was out of sight did Cheng Guang slowly retract his gaze.

Sitting next to the stone table, he waited for the people from the teahouse to pack up the luggage.

Once the luggage was packed, they could use the Flying Boat to return to Great Zhou. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The current task was complete, and the reward for this task, known as "Princess’s Tomb," was something Cheng Guang was still unclear about.

At this moment, with so many powerful figures gathered in Skyfire City, it wasn’t the right time to receive the system reward.

Cheng Guang planned to claim the system task reward while on the way back to Great Zhou.

......

High above the clouds.

The Commandery Princess’s gaze fell on the white-robed figure taking a break not far away.

From a distance, the figure in white had not noticed her, but as the Commandery Princess drew closer, he gradually became aware and suddenly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the Commandery Princess standing not far away.

His gaze lingered on the magnificent features of the Commandery Princess.

He was instantly stunned, as if dumbstruck.

With an expression of surprise and confusion, he furrowed his brows and calculated with his fingers before, seemingly in disbelief, he spoke to the Commandery Princess:

"Empress?"

"Have you awakened?"

The Commandery Princess didn’t respond to the white-robed figure, simply lifting her hand slightly.

Between her jade fingers, a terrifying aura brewed.

The Heavenly Machine Elder’s face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly raised his hand, attempting to dissuade her, "What is this, Your Majesty? The old daoist bears no malice towards the Empress."

The Commandery Princess gave no response to the Heavenly Machine Elder, her finger plucked, as if plucking a string in the heavens and earth.

Hum!

After a trembling sound.

Boom!!!

A terrifying and vast power swept toward the Heavenly Machine Elder.

The face of the Heavenly Machine Elder showed horror; his normally calm and old face suddenly pale, he quickly raised both hands in front of him to block.

Moments later, the clouds dissipated.

The Heavenly Machine Elder disappeared from the spot.

Only a few traces of blood remained, staining a whole expanse of the sky crimson.

Below the clouds.

From within Skyfire City, one could see the originally white clouds being stained red.

Although the colors of the heavens and earth were visible to all.

No one could sense the commotion of the Commandery Princess’s actions above the clouds.

Cheng Guang had been gazing at the sky all along, so he saw it.

Above the heavens, the originally thick clouds suddenly stirred, as if disturbed by an invisible hand.

Through the disrupted clouds, one could sense the terrifying power concealed behind them.

Cheng Guang stared intently at the sky above, completely unaware of why the Commandery Princess had ascended to the clouds.

And as for the Heavenly Machine Elder.

After being struck by the Commandery Princess’s move, he didn’t know how long he had been flying before he returned, his white robe now disheveled, his face pale, and the corner of his mouth stained with blood.

That strike from the Commandery Princess didn’t seem easy for the Heavenly Machine Elder to bear.

The Heavenly Machine Elder landed in front of the Commandery Princess, his face slightly angry, yet as if respecting the Commandery Princess, he asked sternly:

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly strike me?"

The Commandery Princess glanced at the Heavenly Machine Elder, and once again she lifted her hand ever so slightly, "Being a busybody, you care too much."

The Heavenly Machine Elder’s face changed slightly, then he looked at the Commandery Princess, stunned.

He had not expected to be attacked by the Commandery Princess for such a reason.

He had intended to help the Commandery Princess awaken early out of good intentions as fellow practitioners, and his methods were quite standard.

How could he have angered the Commandery Princess so?

Besides, he had only just revealed that the Commandery Princess’s identity could likely be the remnant of Great Chu.

He had a series of actions that he had yet to take.

Why then had the Commandery Princess awakened early?

The Heavenly Machine Elder suddenly found himself at a loss, his old face shifted slightly, no longer looking at the Commandery Princess, he lowered his eyebrows to calculate.

Upon closer calculation.

Suddenly.

The Heavenly Machine Elder spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression shaking violently as if struck by lightning, he looked at the Commandery Princess.

"This is... this is..."

The Commandery Princess looked indifferently at the Heavenly Machine Elder, "So, you understand now?"

The Heavenly Machine Elder, who was always the picture of serenity even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, seemed unable to maintain his composure looking at the Commandery Princess, he exclaimed in shock.

"How is this possible; what method did you use to travel from the future to the present? And retain your memories?"

Although the Heavenly Machine Elder could see that the Commandery Princess bore traces of traversing the river of time, he did not understand how, with the Commandery Princess’ power, she managed to achieve this.

Not to mention with the Commandery Princess’ newly awakened power, even he might not be able to accomplish this feat.

The Heavenly Machine Elder was in the dark once more.

The Commandery Princess didn’t explain any further, her gorgeous face still cold and detached, "Heh, if you can’t figure it out, roll away far and think."

The Commandery Princess drew her hand back once more.

The terrifying aura surged toward the Heavenly Machine Elder.

The Heavenly Machine Elder, still in shock, failed to react in time, and when he did, the dreadful aura was already too close. He muttered "not good" to himself and swiftly moved to defend once again.

The power that the Commandery Princess unleashed caused his expression to change.

This time, the Heavenly Machine Elder used some genuine effort, managing to stabilize his form against the fierce assault of the Commandery Princess.
