MY SYSTEM IS THREE THOUSAND YEARS EARLY

Chapter 688: Chapter 186 When the Time Comes, You Can’t Despise Me (Please Subscribe)_2

Everyone thought that Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, had already ascended to become a Sky-Man.

But Cheng Guang himself never acknowledged it, nor did he respond much.

Wu Ling had subconsciously thought that Cheng Guang had merely used some means to exhibit that level of strength.

But now, looking back…

Wu Ling suddenly felt that she had guessed wrong initially.

Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, did not rely on any external object to possess the strength of a Sky-Man; he inherently had the power of a Sky-Man.

…

Otherwise, there was no way he could consistently demonstrate the strength of a Sky-Man as he did now.

If Cheng Guang was not a Sky-Man, Wu Ling felt that she would have certainly noticed him earlier.

But she had not noticed until Cheng Guang revealed his form, and only then did Wu Ling realize it herself.

All this had already proven that Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, probably had the power of the Heavenly Human Realm for quite some time.

At this moment, Cheng Guang was unaware of Wu Ling’s thoughts; had he known, he probably would have laughed out loud.

He wasn’t as formidable as Wu Ling imagined, but he wasn’t as weak either.

Cheng Guang, at this time, watched Wu Ling’s eyes filled with shock and confusion, and he roughly guessed the reason but chose not to explain anything.

Under Wu Ling’s gaze, he slowly walked towards a tea table at the side.

He sat down beside the tea table.

Even though Cheng Guang had no physical body at that time, his demeanor and actions still made Wu Ling feel as if he was physically in her chamber.

“Princely Heir, why have you come here so late at night?”

After a long silence, Wu Ling gradually cleared her thoughts, then spoke to Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang heard Wu Ling’s question, fell silent for a moment, then looked up at Wu Ling with a smile in his eyes.

“Why, can’t I come over?”

“Yes.”

Wu Ling sincerely nodded her head, and truth be told, when Wu Ling saw that the person who appeared in her chamber was Cheng Guang,

her heart felt inexplicably happy.

But that happiness was not expressed by Wu Ling; instead, she suppressed it in her heart.

After saying “yes,” Wu Ling pondered for a moment, “But I feel, Princely Heir, you wouldn’t come here without a reason.”

“Princely Heir, what has brought you here this time?”

Cheng Guang nodded slightly, “I indeed came because there is something, but it’s nothing major.”

Wu Ling, hearing what Cheng Guang said, had a lot of doubts in her bright eyes.

What does it mean there is ‘something,’

but it’s ‘nothing major’?

Wu Ling looked at Cheng Guang puzzlingly, her bright eyes flickering, almost adorably clueless.

Cheng Guang watched Wu Ling’s demeanor and momentarily lost his thoughts, then came back to his senses. His face flushed slightly, and after coughing once, he slightly turned his head away.

“I might be separating from Great Zhou,”

Cheng Guang slowly said.

As Cheng Guang’s words fell, Wu Ling’s eyes also slowly widened.

Such a statement was like a clap of thunder to Wu Ling’s ears.

“Separating from Great Zhou?”

“Princely Heir, what do you mean by that…?”

Wu Ling looked at Cheng Guang with a puzzled face.

At this time, Wu Ling had already been immersed in court affairs for a long time and was no longer the naive person she once was.

Hearing Cheng Guang say he wanted to separate from Great Zhou, Wu Ling immediately thought of many possibilities.

The worst possibility was that Cheng Guang and his backing, Duke of the State’s Mansion, were going to separate from Great Zhou.

Just separating from Great Zhou wasn’t much of an issue.

The fear was that the Duke of the State’s Mansion intended to rebel and directly take control of Great Zhou to crown themselves emperor.

In such a case,

For the already weakened Great Zhou, teetering on the verge of collapse, it would be a fatal blow.

Essentially, there was no one in entire Great Zhou who could resist the Duke of the State.

If it weren’t for the Duke himself lacking the Imperial Bloodline, even if he became the emperor, the world wouldn’t acknowledge him; perhaps both internally and externally, they would have already supported the Duke in ascending the throne.

In this era,

Imperial power is important, but strength is the most crucial.

Now, the reason the World Royal Family has managed to maintain its present state is largely due to the World Royal Family having the Imperial Bloodline, giving them an advantage in practicing Spirit Dao over practicing Martial Cultivation.

The World Royal Family never lacked strong individuals.

But now,

the Royal Family truly lacked strong individuals.

Just thinking about this, Wu Ling’s originally jade-like complexion instantly paled slightly, and her fingers slowly clenched, turning somewhat blue.

“Princely Heir, must you do this?”

Wu Ling spoke, then took a deep breath, adding,

“If the Princely Heir desires, I can also help the Princely Heir, and offer the throne to the Princely Heir or to the Duke.”

For Wu Ling, Great Zhou wasn’t important; the throne wasn’t important.

Only the Great Zhou Emperor as anperson was somewhat important.

But now, Great Zhou Emperor Wu Shang was no longer present.

Only the Princely Heir was closest to her.

If the Princely Heir wanted the throne, even though it was almost within her reach, she could also let it go and offer it to Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.

Cheng Guang also hadn’t expected Wu Ling to offer to give the throne to him.

Cheng Guang looked at Wu Ling’s slightly pale face, instantly understanding that Wu Ling must have misunderstood.

She had taken his words about separating from Great Zhou to mean he intended to directly overthrow Great Zhou.
