My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

A figure appeared not far down the street.

After walking a few steps,

he stopped again.

Looking at the medical hall not far away,

he remained silent.

"I have awakened, the self-imposed seal has been lifted, and they... should be soon too..." he muttered.

"Now that I am trapped in this game, I cannot continue to drag Qingqing down with me..."

"Why should I, a wretched soul, bring another down with me?"

"The struggle for the Great Dao, Who knows how many living beings will be swept up in it."

After muttering to himself for a while, Li Tongzhen clenched his fists, feeling extremely frail at the moment.

"I don't even know how long it's been since I sealed myself away."

"I was born ahead of time, my memories have yet to awaken. Wandering in confusion for all these years, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Li Tongzhen chuckled wryly and slowly headed towards the end of the street.

Gradually vanishing into the night.

And at the moment Li Tongzhen's figure disappeared,

the door of the medical hall suddenly burst open.

Bright light spilled out from within,

casting reflections on the bluestone pavement.

A small figure, clutching a large robe, dashed out into the light.

Tears streamed down her face.

She ran around frantically, seemingly searching for something.

But no matter where she looked,

she couldn't find it.

Powerlessly, she stopped, gradually squatting down, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Are you going to abandon Qingqing too?"

"Why won't you see me?"

......

Cheng Guang folded his hands behind his back,

returned to Million Specie Garden, and went straight into his house.

He began to check the task he had just completed.

The reward for this mission was called Remnants of the Imperial Relic. Emperor's Treasures stood above King's Treasures.

Even rarer.

And more precious.

Although only a remnant, the abilities it possessed might even be slightly stronger than the usual King's Treasures.

"System, claim the reward!" Cheng Guang spoke softly to the system within his mind.

As his voice faded,

strands of golden light flowed from the void like water, approaching him, and the gold gradually shifted to a deep red.

Little by little.

The crimson light finally coalesced into a piece of cloth the size of a palm.

"The remnant of the Imperial Treasure this time is a piece of cloth?"

"This cloth..."

Cheng Guang frowned slightly, reaching out slowly to pick up the remnant of the Imperial Relic.

As Cheng Guang's fingertips touched the red cloth, it instantly became solid, silky, and warm.

Simultaneously,

An information flashed through Cheng Guang's mind.

[Hun Tian Lanyard: Remnant of the Imperial Relic. After being torn apart in several battles, it scattered into countless pieces, this being one of the largest. It can stretch or shrink at will, and be used to bind others, not easily broken free from.]

"Hun Tian Lanyard?"

"It's actually this??" Continue reading at empire

Cheng Guang gently squeezed the Hun Tian Lanyard in his hand. Though he was somewhat pleased to have obtained a remnant of the Emperor's Treasures, discovering that it was the Hun Tian Lanyard did not make him quite as happy.

Nezha's combat prowess was quite impressive.

But honestly, the Hun Tian Lanyard never had much offensive power to begin with.

The Universal Ring would have been better.

Yet this broken Hun Tian Lanyard seemed to have no other use besides binding others.

For a while, Cheng Guang couldn't figure out the purpose of obtaining this Hun Tian Lanyard or whom it could be worth using on.

The average Sky-Man would not be worthy of such an effort.

Cheng Guang thought about it but didn't pay it much mind.

Obtaining the Hun Tian Lanyard was already good enough.

Given the description of the Hun Tian Lanyard, even a Sky-Man would struggle to break free.

A regular Sky-Man might not be able to escape even with all the effort they could muster.

Cheng Guang stored the Hun Tian Lanyard away.

"I wonder which unlucky Sky-Man will come by so I can test my current strength, as well as the Hun Tian Lanyard's sturdiness," he murmured. Then, while pondering, he closed the doors and windows.

He went to bed and focused on the Proving Dao Map.

On this day, observing the Proving Dao Map,

he could already make out the features of the deity quite clearly.

The divine figure that demanded one to look up, its armor mostly clear to see, the features of its face discernible.

In the center of the deity's forehead, Cheng Guang could clearly see a third eye.

That third eye was usually shut tight.

Not open.

And as Cheng Guang observed the Proving Dao Map, the deity seemed to sense something, its eyelid fluttering ever so slightly, as if it might open the next moment.

But that was all it was, a slight tremor.

In the end, the third eye of the deity never opened.

At that moment, Cheng Guang was quite curious.

"I wonder how it would look when this deity's third eye opens."

"Is it the Erlang Shen that I am familiar with, or someone else?" Cheng Guang pondered internally.

As Cheng Guang observed the Proving Dao Map, time ticked away by the minute, by the second.

When the time reached Midnight,

Cheng Guang withdrew from observing the Proving Dao Map.

At his ears, once again rang the system's cold and emotionless voice.

[On the 34th year of the Zhensheng Era, on the 30th day of the 10th month, it has been 120 days since you became a part of the Heavenly Human Realm. You have successfully made the acquaintance of Li Tongzhen.]

[After deep interactions with Li Tongzhen, you were amazed to discover that he appears not to be a person of this era. The cultivation technique he uses and his path of cultivation are fundamentally different from ordinary people.]

[Then, as you tried to uncover Li Tongzhen's background, you found out that the name Li Tongzhen was not his original name; he used to be called Nezha.]
