My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Let Commandery Princess of Prince Ning expose her identity to the world herself.

Who exactly is that person?

Why, upon knowing the identity of Commandery Princess of Prince Ning, did they not reveal her directly, nor act against her in advance, but wait until such a time?

And furthermore...

If it weren't for his constant vigilance, that person might have done all this without anyone noticing, then hid behind the scenes.

What was his purpose in doing all this?

A chill inexplicably rose from the depths of Cheng Guang's heart.

He lifted his eyes to gaze at the image within the pillar of light in the heavens.

It only took one glance.

And he was stunned.

Because...

The scene within the image was that of the Imperial Palace of Great Chu!

Within that image in the pillar of light.

It was the Imperial Palace of Great Chu.

Below the Imperial Palace of Great Chu.

A girl in a pink dress played happily, running around a huge cherry blossom tree.

By her side were several other figures, whose faces were too blurry to make out.

But from the robes they wore, it could be seen.

Those people were the Emperor of Great Chu and some officials.

Cheng Guang observed the faces of the Emperor of Great Chu and those around him and realized that the Emperor of Great Chu in this image did not exactly match the Emperor he remembered from his previous life's memory, though they shared a resemblance.

The Imperial Palace of Great Chu in this image also seemed to be much more ancient.

A hint of confusion arose in Cheng Guang's mind, but before he could sort through his thoughts,

A heavy voice came from within the image in the pillar of light.

"Your Majesty, the princess can no longer bear it; such an incurable disease is beyond anyone's power in this world. For now, she can still walk, but as time passes, her body will become more and more rigid until she can no longer move at all, eventually breathing will even become a problem."

"The only option is to seal the princess away and use the destiny of Great Chu to nurture her body. One day in the future, the princess will recover."

The face of the indistinct Emperor of Great Chu sighed, "It can only be so."

A beautiful woman by the side of the Emperor of Great Chu couldn't stop crying.

The little girl who was merrily running under the cherry blossoms noticed her father and mother hiding behind the door. Seeing her own mother crying, she was first stunned, then hurriedly plucked a cherry blossom and ran to give it to her mother.

"Mother, don't cry, Jing'er is being good, won't make mother angry, won't make mother sad again."

The girl, thinking she had done something wrong like a child who has erred, apologized, then stood on tiptoe, gently wiped away the tears from the beautiful woman's eyes and placed the freshly picked cherry blossom in her mother's hand.

The beautiful woman tenderly stroked the girl's head, her voice somewhat choked.

"Your Majesty, how long must we seal her away like this?"

"Will we get to see Jing'er again in our lifetime?"

With tears in her eyes, the beautiful woman looked towards the dignified man beside her.

The dignified man sighed with helplessness, "Perhaps a hundred years will suffice, or it may take a thousand. Regardless, not wanting Jing'er to suffer such great pain in her fleeting life, we must do this."

The young girl couldn't hear what her father and mother were saying.

But she saw her father stroke her forehead,

and she fell into complete darkness.

When the girl awoke again,

she found herself lying in a crystal coffin, buried deep underground. Perhaps due to the torrential rain that day, or perhaps because of the battles among the mighty,

her coffin was inadvertently opened.

Upon awakening, the young girl was frozen by the endless darkness around her and the endless cries of killing in her ears.

When she dug through the dirt in front of her with her hands,

what she saw were corpses scattered everywhere, blood staining the ground.

The once majestic and splendid Imperial Palace of Great Chu had been completely reduced to ruins.

The girl couldn't understand why her home had become like this when she woke up again.

She cried and called out, lifting her dress, calling for her father and mother.

At that moment, the girl seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world.

The world had turned to shades of gray.

The image ended there, suddenly shattering like a bubble, and stopping abruptly.

Everyone who had seen the scene within the pillar of light was stunned.

"What is this??"

"It looks like the Imperial Palace of Great Chu, is that girl in the image the princess of Great Chu from those days? Could she be the remnant of Great Chu?"

"Why would this memory image of the Princess of Great Chu appear in this pillar of light??"

"I can't make sense of it."

"Could it be that these scenes are related to the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning who is currently undergoing the four grand trials?"

As the image shattered like a bubble and dissipated, all who watched this scene within Skyfire City were at first briefly stunned, then a wave of uproarious voices swept through.

After a brief moment of confusion, they quickly realized that this phantom image couldn't have appeared for no reason.

It was very likely related to Crown Prince Li Zhongxin, who was undergoing the four grand trials, and the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning.

But Crown Prince Li Zhongxin was a man, far too different from the young girl in the image.

Many people immediately connected the pink-dressed girl within the phantom image to the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning.

This pink-dressed girl was very likely the remnants of Great Chu hiding within the Great Yan Dynasty.

Doesn't that mean that the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning is the remnant of Great Chu!?

At this thought, everyone felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
