My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

"Kill him, and the royal bloodline of Great Chu will be severed."

"Back then, the prophecy on the golden list said that Great Chu would rise and unite the world. How could it speak such words? Now, we can no longer know the reasons behind it."

Figures emerged from the void surrounding Duke of the State, Cheng Shiyuan.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, paused in his step, his gaze falling on the people behind him.

Scanning the arrivals, Cheng Shiyuan ultimately set his eyes on Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou shook his head helplessly.

He also wished to kill Commandery Princess Ning.

But with so many Sky-Men around, even he was powerless to act.

Cheng Shiyuan ceased his efforts and desisted.

His gaze rested on the bewildered Commandery Princess Ning, sensing that if he didn’t kill her now, there would be great trouble later.

Meanwhile, Cheng Shiyuan did not notice that, at the moment he ceased his efforts, the figure in white robes above the clouds let down his hand with a smile.

"Duke Zhen Guo of Great Zhou, Sky-Man at the pinnacle, your cultivation is not bad. It is only a pity that you’ve been involved in too much killing, enmeshed in karma. I fear this life of yours will be halted here."

The figure in white commented, yet he paid no more attention to the many Sky-Men gathered at Skyfire City, the emperors of the major dynasties, and turned his eyes to Commandery Princess Ning.

Stroking his white beard, the depths of his eyes sparkling, he nodded slowly.

"It should be about time."

"The death of the Great Chu Crown Prince, followed by the agony of losing kinsmen, should be sufficient to awaken the origin within her body."

The figure in white observed Commandery Princess Ning closely.

At this moment, Commandery Princess Ning’s eyes were full of confusion, like a child who couldn’t find her way home. The heavy sorrow, the despair under the scrutiny of Sky-Men, made her close off her mind.

A faint light glittered at her brow.

A supremely regal aura began to brew from her brow, initially faint and barely discernible, but quickly drawing the attention of the surrounding Sky-Men.

Emperor Great Yan, Li Longhu who had just returned, Emperor Zhou, Duke of the State, Emperor Great Yuan, Empress Wei, as well as the hermit Sky-Men watching from hiding, all turned their eyes to Commandery Princess Ning.

The aging Emperor Great Yan’s eyes trembled slightly, "What is this?"

"This aura on the Princess of Great Chu from years ago is off, oppressive even to me."

Emperor Zhou’s authoritative gaze remained unchanged as he watched Commandery Princess Ning, his brow slowly furrowing.

He felt that Commandery Princess Ning seemed to be brewing something terrifying.

Originally not very interested in the remnants of Great Chu, Emperor Zhou became slightly more cautious at the sight of the changes occurring in Commandery Princess Ning.

Emperor Zhou pointed his finger, sending a golden speck drifting towards Commandery Princess Ning.

Initially, all the emperors sought to delve deeper into the secrets of the Great Chu royal lineage.

But sensing the strange change in Commandery Princess Ning, their thoughts shifted.

Commandery Princess Ning exuded an incredibly majestic aura.

This regal presence made numerous emperors and empresses who ruled over the mortal realms involuntarily bow their heads.

This was truly terrifying.

They did not understand what changed within Commandery Princess Ning.

Since Emperor Zhou was willing to make the first move, it was just as well to let him probe.

Emperor Zhou pointed again, and the golden speck manifested as a war god charging at Commandery Princess Ning.

At the same time.

A gentle breeze blew by.

The Divine Power unleashed by Emperor Zhou, the manifested divine form, became rigid in the wind, then crumbled as if eroded, vanishing in a breath.

"This..."

Emperor Zhou’s stern and icy expression briefly faltered as he seemed to notice something, looking up toward the clouds above.

Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes and saw a figure seated among the clouds.

Cheng Shiyuan and the other Sky-Men also looked upwards. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They saw the person sitting on the clouds.

The figure in white no longer concealed himself, smiling as he rose to his feet, treading on clouds, descending from above, and standing before the many Sky-Men.

"Gentlemen, she... you can’t touch her yet," he said.

Cheng Shiyuan looked towards the figure descending from the clouds, his numb, icy gaze rippling slightly.

He recognized the newcomer.

"It’s you."

Cheng Shiyuan recognized the person.

But including Emperor Zhou, numerous Sky-Men from the World Royal Family were all puzzled.

Looking at the white-robed elder, then back at Cheng Shiyuan.

Cheng Shiyuan paid no heed to the onlookers, simply addressing the white-robed elder, "Elder, was it you who revealed my grandson’s identity?"

The white-robed elder nodded with a smile, "It was indeed I."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shiyuan thought for a moment, then nodded, "It makes sense. He could hide before my eyes only if an elder, capable of seeing through the heavenly secrets, made a move. Otherwise, there would be no one else in the world who could see through his identity."

Cheng Shiyuan made his statement.

The white-robed elder neither confirmed nor denied, standing with his hands clasped behind him, his gaze falling on Commandery Princess Ning beside him, speaking, "Gentlemen, you can’t attack her now. Give it a little time, and if you still wish to make a move later, I will not stop you. Would you give me this bit of face for now?"

The conversation between the white-robed elder and Cheng Shiyuan was heard by Emperor Zhou, Emperor Great Yan, and the surrounding Sky-Men, stunning them and leaving them in disbelief.

They had come to realize the identity of the mysterious and powerful figure before them.

Could it really be the Heavenly Machine Elder, shrouded in enigma and having lived for untold years!?
