My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

[To think that they were people of Great Tang back then, and even Great Tang would lose to the Heavenly Court…]

[You can hardly imagine what the Heavenly Court truly is.]

[The Heavenly Court is a presence beyond your reach for now, exalted and unattainable, where even ordinary Sky-Men have no chance to join. If given the opportunity, you should still try to join Great Tang.]

[Following behind Zhou Qingxu, who once brought down Great Zhou, might cause some discomfort in your heart, but it’s still worth a try.]

[If you can’t join the Heavenly Court, joining the organization formed by the powerhouses of Great Tang after its fall could also be an excellent choice.]

[Four-star task: Join Great Tang.]

[Task Reward: Great Tang Chang’an City.]

The system task alert sounded clearly, word by word, in Cheng Guang’s ears.

After Cheng Guang finished listening to all the system task prompts,

his heart was deeply shaken, his eyes trembling involuntarily.

Heavenly Court?

Great Tang?

The Heavenly Court, effortlessly bringing down Great Tang?

And the individuals composing Great Tang’s power included characters like Zhou Qingxu.

Not to mention,

aside from Zhou Qingxu himself, there were actually a total of twelve others.

A power consisting of twelve Sky-Men could generally sweep across the world.

Not to mention, they were all cunning and powerful Sky-Men like Zhou Qingxu.

Cheng Guang knew that if it hadn’t been for the Tri-color Grass, relying solely on himself and Deng, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat Zhou Qingxu, let alone kill him.

If Cheng Guang were to face Zhou Qingxu one-on-one,

it can be said,

there wouldn’t be the slightest room for resistance.

At this thought,

Cheng Guang’s mood was greatly shaken.

What kind of entity was Great Tang?

Why would a powerful person like Zhou Qingxu provoke the war between Great Zhou and Great Yuan, and why join that Great Tang?

What’s the situation with the newly established Great Tang?

And what on earth was that Heavenly Court?

Was this Heavenly Court the same one I knew of before?

Cheng Guang’s mind whirled with ceaseless thoughts.

Thinking too much

made Cheng Guang’s head feel like a mushy mess, completely unable to make heads or tails of it.

One doubt after another, like great enigmas, enveloped Cheng Guang completely.

After a long while,

Cheng Guang slowly exhaled, calming his heart.

The future four great dynasties, and the numerous larger and smaller dynasties in the world, might all have a tough time.

First, the world was thrown into chaos, then two great dynasties, Heavenly Court and Great Tang, emerged out of nowhere, and afterwards, Great Tang fell, leaving only the Heavenly Court as the sole power dominating the world.

A force far stronger than Cheng Guang had imagined.

It’s likely that the powerhouses within the Heavenly Court have strengths beyond Cheng Guang’s imagination, no longer merely Sky-Men but having attained something above.

Otherwise,

how could such an organization like the Heavenly Court so easily eradicate Great Tang and the twelve powerful Sky-Men, including Zhou Qingxu?

It simply defied all logic.

Cheng Guang took a deep breath, shifting his gaze away from the system task prompt to focus on the system task and the task reward.

This time, the task seemed much simpler.

He just had to join an organization.

Join Great Tang.

It looked simple, and in reality, it was not difficult at all.

After all, Cheng Guang had just obtained an Emperor’s Face Token, enabling him to command anyone in the world.

If he could find or meet anyone from the Great Tang organization, as long as he could speak with them, Cheng Guang himself joining Great Tang would be within easy reach.

The task was not difficult.

Instead, it was the task reward that caught Cheng Guang’s attention.

Great Tang Chang’an City.

Great Tang Chang’an City??

When Cheng Guang saw the task reward, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, as if he couldn’t trust his own sight.

This task reward,

was it really a city?

This Great Tang was not the same as the flourishing Great Tang he remembered, the Great Tang of a hundred years of prosperity.

So, this Chang’an City might also be different from the Chang’an City in his past-life memories.

But no matter what,

this time the system actually planned to reward him with a city.

It must be said,

Cheng Guang’s interest was indeed piqued.

He stared blankly at his mission reward for quite some time.

Soon,

Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Cheng Guang’s eyebrows furrowed again.

This system task reward, Great Tang Chang’an City, looked truly astonishing.

But…

However he looked at it,

it seemed of no use.

It was just a city.

A city isn’t used for battle, nor for anything else; could it be that he was supposed to live in it?

Cheng Guang was perplexed, somewhat unable to understand.

Fortunately, Cheng Guang’s personality was not such that he would get bogged down by details.

Without dwelling on it too much, he cast the matter aside.

As for the use of Great Tang Chang’an City, he had not figured it out yet.

But Cheng Guang didn’t need to worry about that, for now he should think of ways to complete the task, and after receiving the system task reward, he could ponder it thoroughly.

For now, he had no clue how to fulfill the system task.

First things first,

how was he going to find people from Great Tang?

Cheng Guang only knew one person, and that was Zhou Qingxu.

But…

Zhou Qingxu had been slapped away to who-knows-where by something Cheng Guang had summoned.

For Cheng Guang to join Great Tang through Zhou Qingxu, it seemed it would not be that easy.

With that in mind,

Cheng Guang clicked his tongue, looking at the starry sky far into the horizon, and uttered,

“Difficult, indeed…”

Perhaps because the wind blew during the day, it had cleared away the clouds in the sky.

Today,

the stars in the vault of heaven were densely packed, covering the vast expanse of the night sky. Upon closer inspection, these celestial bodies seemed to have sprouted from Dafu Taixuan Palace, spanning the mid-heavens and then sprinkling across the surrounding heaven and earth.

Cheng Guang admired the night color of the starry sky for a moment.

Suddenly,

the Flying Boat made a “bang” with a crisp sound.

It was unknown what it had struck.

The Flying Boat began to shake slightly.

Cheng Guang abruptly sat up, rushed out quickly, and ran toward the deck of the Flying Boat.

“Damn it, my Flying Boat is flying tens of thousands of miles high in the sky; how could it still hit something?”

“Could it be that I hit a bird??”

Cheng Guang mumbled to himself.

He arrived at the spot where the shaking was felt.

Leaning over, he looked down.

At the same time,

the Power of the Primordial Spirit surged out, spreading downward.

Soon,

Cheng Guang saw what his Flying Boat had hit below.

There, lying on the sleek hull of the Flying Boat, was a middle-aged man with weak breath, his robes completely torn, resembling a beggar.

At first glance, Cheng Guang couldn’t make out the man’s appearance.

But,

upon a closer look,

Cheng Guang recognized the man’s features.

And then he suddenly laughed.

“Hey!”

“What a coincidence, isn’t it!?”

“It’s actually you…”

“Zhou Qingxu!!!!”
