My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

The Great Tang Emperor looked at Cheng Guang with a sinister face, his gaze deep and solemn.

Even though the Great Tang Emperor’s tone was very calm at this moment.

But Cheng Guang could still feel the humiliation and anger beneath the Great Tang Emperor’s composed tone.

Cheng Guang hadn’t expected the Great Tang Emperor to kick the ball back to his court.

Cheng Guang pondered for a moment. Although he planned to take advantage of the Great Tang Emperor and Chang’an City, he never truly intended to give Chang’an City back to the Great Tang Emperor.

With the strength of the Great Tang Emperor already formidable, if he had Chang’an City and the assistance of countless soldiers within it,

What’s more,

If the soldiers within Great Tang Chang’an City could leave the city, wouldn’t the entire world fall into the hands of Great Tang??

By then, what business would Cheng Guang have left of his own?

After some thought, Cheng Guang shook his head in refusal. His voice was pressed extremely low, like a sound from ancient times, mysterious and unpredictable.

“Impossible.”

“Chang’an City cannot be given to you.”

Upon hearing this, the Great Tang Emperor’s brows furrowed deeply again. His emotions, no longer containable, and his tightly clenched fists, began to tremble slightly.

“Impossible to give to me?”

“What on earth do you intend to do??”

The Great Tang Emperor’s eyes were fixed on Cheng Guang.

It seemed he wanted to see through the golden glow that shrouded Cheng Guang’s body and discern Cheng Guang’s true face.

Cheng Guang appeared indifferent to the Great Tang Emperor’s scrutiny, “I know what you’re worried about. I can’t give you Chang’an City, but I can ensure that nothing will be done to the people within Chang’an City.”

Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, the Great Tang Emperor felt a sense of relief, but then his brows creased again, as he could not see through Cheng Guang’s motives.

Cheng Guang wouldn’t return Chang’an City to him, yet he promised not to do anything to the people within Chang’an City.

This could be said to have alleviated the Great Tang Emperor’s greatest concern.

As long as Cheng Guang didn’t do anything to the people inside the Great Tang Chang’an City, then the Great Tang Emperor himself could plan what to do next; taking back Great Tang Chang’an City from Cheng Guang’s hands might not be impossible.

The Great Tang Emperor pondered for a while, then stared at Cheng Guang and asked, “Can you really keep the promise you’ve made?”

Cheng Guang nodded confidently in response to the Great Tang Emperor’s question.

“Naturally.”

Actually, even if Cheng Guang were to do something to the people inside the Great Tang Chang’an City at this moment, he wouldn’t be able to do much. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

He could use some of Chang’an City’s power, but not much.

Furthermore,

Even if Cheng Guang could annihilate everyone in the Great Tang Chang’an City,

He wouldn’t do so.

After all, Chang’an City was already his; thus, the people within the Great Tang Chang’an City should also be his.

Once his strength increased, it might be possible to turn all the soldiers within the Great Tang Chang’an City into his own use from the hands of the Great Tang Emperor.

Cheng Guang nodded decisively, causing the Great Tang Emperor to be startled, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Then what do you want?”

“Your strength is obviously much greater than mine; it’s unlikely you would be interested in what I have to offer…”

As the Great Tang Emperor spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Cheng Guang: “Could you be a member of the Heavenly Court? Or perhaps one of the Buddhas from the West?”

Cheng Guang shook his head noncommittally, not responding, but simply said, “There are only two things I want.”

The Great Tang Emperor watched Cheng Guang, not interrupting him as he spoke.

Cheng Guang continued, “First, I hope you will protect Chang’an City well.”

When the Great Tang Emperor heard Cheng Guang say this, his eyes slightly widened, looking at Cheng Guang as if he didn’t quite understand why Cheng Guang would make such a statement.

“Even if you didn’t say this, I would still protect Chang’an City.”

The Great Tang Emperor said.

Cheng Guang wasn’t particularly surprised.

But he still chose to say it.

Mainly for two reasons.

Firstly, although the Great Tang Chang’an City was under his control, he couldn’t stay there all the time.

When he wasn’t in Great Tang Chang’an City, he had no way to control it.

His cultivation and power were far from allowing him to control the Great Tang Chang’an City remotely.

Using the Great Tang Emperor to deal with the Sky-Men attracted by the city seemed like a good solution.

Cheng Guang had no control over the soldiers of Chang’an City; he could only consider them for the future.

Whether they would take action and how much strength they had, Cheng Guang was not yet clear, so he couldn’t place all his hopes on the myriad soldiers within Great Tang Chang’an City.

Secondly, by making such a statement, Cheng Guang could also gain the Great Tang Emperor’s trust.

Later, when Cheng Guang brought up his second demand, even if the Great Tang Emperor had doubts, he was less likely to question it.

Cheng Guang observed the Great Tang Emperor’s expressions, seeing him go from puzzled to a relaxed brow, and knew he had achieved his objective.

Without hesitation, Cheng Guang then stated his second demand.

“I fell into slumber years ago and am unaware of the events that took place then. I need you to tell me what happened, what caused such drastic changes in the world.”

After speaking, Cheng Guang’s gaze was tightly fixed on the changes in the Great Tang Emperor’s expressions.

The second request, or rather, the question that Cheng Guang was asking at this moment, was his primary goal.

To understand the events of the past through the Great Tang Emperor.

To unravel the mysteries of bygone days.

Nowadays, with ancient figures awakening one after another, secret realms appearing one after the other, Cheng Guang’s worldview had been greatly shaken.

Where did these secret realms come from?

Where did the Different Treasures originate?

Where did the royal bloodlines of the World Royal Family come from?

There were too many inexplicable things in this world.

Cheng Guang, finally having access to such an ancient figure as the Great Tang Emperor, who knew more, was ready to uncover more…
