My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang reflected upon this, only to feel that the future seemed utterly chaotic.

Even he, living in such an era, felt a sense of helplessness, let alone the ordinary people in the world.

After Zhou Qingxu briefly introduced the situation, he prepared to leave. He gave Cheng Guang a slight bow with a smile, nodded, and then stepped away, disappearing on the spot.

Zhou Qingxu left quickly.

At that moment, Cheng Guang was still deep in thought, hardly noticing Zhou Qingxu’s departure.

When Cheng Guang finally snapped back to reality, Zhou Qingxu was no longer before his eyes.

Cheng Guang raised his eyes to look out the distant window, gazing at the celestial dome through the circular window. As he stared into the sky outside, he suddenly noticed something.

He had just emerged from the Mirror World of the Great Tang Emperor, yet the system prompt signaling task completion hadn’t sounded in his ears.

Was the system mission stuck again?

As Cheng Guang pondered in confusion, an ice-cold and emotionless voice suddenly echoed in his ears.

[Task completed.]

[Do you wish to claim your reward?]

Upon hearing this cold, unfeeling voice, Cheng Guang’s heart instantly filled with emotion.

Good, good, good, it looks like the system hasn’t completely gone haywire.

The task was finally completed.

That said, if the task had been completed within the Mirror World of the Great Tang Emperor, Cheng Guang couldn’t possibly have claimed the reward there.

Instead of the Great Tang Emperor, the two mysterious elders in the Library were not beings that Cheng Guang could afford to provoke.

If he claimed the system task reward within the Secret Realm, who knows what might happen or what consequences it might trigger.

At this point in his thoughts, Cheng Guang didn’t continue to wildly speculate.

He immediately said, “Claim the reward!”

As he spoke.

Suddenly, streams of golden light appeared before Cheng Guang’s eyes.

The radiant streams of golden light, as if flowing from the void, intertwined before him, forming a shallow stream.

Within the brightly glistening stream, a small boat could be seen floating on the surface.

Approaching from afar.

It grew larger and larger before Cheng Guang’s eyes.

As the small boat approached, Cheng Guang suddenly realized that this was no small boat, but rather a massive city.

Even as a mere shadow that had yet to solidify, it was enough to eclipse the sky and envelop Cheng Guang’s entire bedroom within its presence.

Cheng Guang looked up, unable to see the top of the city walls.

Luckily, Cheng Guang’s bedroom contained the vision of claiming the system task reward within its walls; otherwise, everyone in the Great Zhou Capital might have seen the shape of this city.

Standing at the edge of the city, Cheng Guang looked upon the partially visible city, his pupils uncontrollably dilating.

This time, the task reward was named Great Tang Chang’an City.

It couldn’t actually be an entire city, could it?

Past system task rewards had never been this substantial.

Merely a phantom, and it was already this massive; if it solidified, this Great Tang Chang’an City could potentially crush the entire capital.

Just the thought made Cheng Guang’s scalp tingle, and his enthusiasm to claim the system task reward waned.

He became exceedingly cautious.

“No, if I were to claim this Great Tang Chang’an City, there’s no telling what accidents might occur. I need to sneak off to a deserted place to claim it,” Cheng Guang murmured, stroking his chin.

But.

The system had already issued the task reward, and with a mere reach of his hand, he could solidify the system task prompt into reality.

Did he really have to carry this system task phantom around as he ran from place to place?

This thought gave Cheng Guang a headache.

After much hesitation.

Cheng Guang decided to leave Duke Zhen’s Mansion as quickly as possible and head outside of the Capital, then claim his task reward.

The Power of the Primordial Spirit surged forth instantly, obscuring much of the surrounding golden phenomenon.

Though not completely hidden, at least the golden radiance around Cheng Guang dimmed substantially.

Even if he left the bedroom without the walls to hide him, it wouldn’t be too glaring.

Cheng Guang stepped out of his bedroom and, without any hesitation, summoned the Flying Boat and soared towards the outskirts of the Capital city.

The instant he left the bedroom.

Cheng Guang brought a vast expanse of golden light with him. The brilliance enveloped him as he ascended to the heavens, resembling a deity.

The surrounding sky brightened slightly.

Fortunately, Cheng Guang had used the power of his Primordial Spirit beforehand to suppress the vision of claiming the system task reward.

With his current level of cultivation, aside from Sky-Men like Zhou Qingxu, there was essentially no one in the entire Great Zhou Capital who could detect the phenomena around Cheng Guang.

After Cheng Guang boarded the Flying Boat and entered its cabin.

The phenomenon that surrounded him was finally contained, preventing any leakage, but the powerful aura still inevitably seeped out.

This aroused the alertness of the strong beings within the Capital and, as they attempted to investigate, they found nothing. The atmosphere grew tense among the powerhouses, feeling the terrifying presence that permeated the void.
