My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

```

...

Cheng Guang stepped into the entrance of the Secret Realm.

A white light flashed before his eyes.

After a brief moment of dizziness, he found himself back on the soil of Great Zhou.

At the same time.

After Cheng Guang emerged from the Secret Realm, numerous powerful beings followed suit, streaking out in succession.

Most wore expressions of utter shock.

Looking around, they suddenly realized that other than the Empress of Great Wei, it seemed none of the Sky-Men who had entered the Secret Realm had appeared; their expressions changed dramatically.

Those Sky-Men who had just entered the Secret Realm were either emperors or ancestral figures of their Sects, all of them holding positions of considerable status.

If only one or two Sky-Men had gone missing, it might have been overlooked.

But the disappearance of so many at once...

The world was liable to fall into chaos!

The recently quelled turmoil could erupt anew with the sudden disappearance of the top Sky-Men from the Four Directions Mortal World.

"Where are those Sky-Men? I was at the foot of the mountain the whole time and didn't dare to go up."

"I have no idea what happened on the mountaintop?"

A multitude of powerful beings whispered amongst themselves, stirring a wave of commotion around the entrance of the Secret Realm.

The Sky-Men were mainly around the Around Immortal Residence, and due to the presence of that strange scorpion, only Cheng Guang, Cheng Zhihai, and Qin Beifeng had managed to reach the peak and come near the Around Immortal Residence, apart from the Sky-Men.

The vast majority of powerful beings, while aware of the fall of a Sky-Man within the Secret Realm, were unaware that besides the Empress of Great Wei, news of all the other Sky-Men, including Emperor Zhou, was still pending.

Perhaps they were delayed by something and had not yet emerged?

Some powerful beings' eyes flickered as they decided to wait quietly from a distance.

They were not concerned about the welfare of all Sky-Men, only those from their own Clan Power.

A Clan Power could only truly establish itself once it had a Sky-Man; even the World Royal Family would not easily offend them.

Within the territory of Great Zhou, the Clan Powers that even Emperor Zhou could not easily meddle with were like this, as were the Four Great Hidden Sword Sects.

Most of them harbored Sky-Man-level beings.

The World Royal Family also had an unspoken agreement to avoid offending any power with a Sky-Man.

But now.

If, because of this Secret Realm, nearly eighty percent of the world's Sky-Men suddenly disappeared... Read exclusive chapters at empire

How could the world not descend into chaos??

Not only would it be chaotic!

Even the Demon Beasts lurking around the Four Directions Mortal World might mobilize en masse and turn the entire mortal realm into a purgatory!

Considering this, many powerful beings felt a shiver down their spine.

While powerful beings were observing the entrance to the Secret Realm.

Cheng Guang was also watching it.

He had known since he received the system task alert that most Sky-Men who entered the Secret Realm this time would not come out.

However, the system task alert did not mention the powerful beings present.

It was unclear whether this was an intentional omission or if they had all perished within the Secret Realm.

Cheng Guang pondered deeply, taking a deep breath.

"Those bizarre Worms, called Saint Dao Fruit by the Chicken Demon, what exactly is 'Saint,' and what is the Dao Fruit?"

"Why did that strange scorpion guard the Around Immortal Residence so tenaciously, unwilling to leave?"

"What beings exist in the depths of Five Daos Mountain??"

Question after question arose in Cheng Guang's mind, forming a fog of huge mysteries that enveloped him completely.

The deeper he delved into this world, the more ignorant he felt.

While Cheng Guang was contemplating, the entrance to the Secret Realm suddenly trembled lightly and began to fade from solid to void.

In just a moment.

It dissipated like a soap bubble.

The anomalies in the sky, following the disappearance of the Secret Realm, also began to fade, gradually losing their visibility.

The sky returned to its clear blue, with fluffy white clouds drifting by.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing peace.

However.

As the Secret Realm suddenly vanished and none of the Sky-Men inside emerged, a chill settled in everyone's heart.

Even though summer's heat was near, all the powerful beings felt as if they were in the depths of winter.

A bone-chilling cold took hold!

Seeing the entrance to the Secret Realm disappear completely, everyone realized that the many Sky-Men who had not yet come out of the Secret Realm might now never be able to.

Some powerful beings stood dumbfounded, lost in thought for a moment before turning to the surviving people around them and saying, "Let's go!"

With that, they stepped on Qi and quickly left the scene.

In a short while, the vicinity of the Secret Realm grew sparse.

"Guanger, we should leave as well."

Seeing the dwindling crowd, Cheng Zhihai spoke to Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang heard Cheng Zhihai's words but did not respond immediately. The moment the entrance to the Secret Realm dissolved before his eyes, he also heard a cold, emotionless voice at his ear.

[Task completed, would you like to receive the reward?]

After hearing this voice, Cheng Guang was momentarily stunned, then overwhelmed with joy.

He had originally thought that exploring the entirety of Five Daos Mountain was required to complete this system task.

He had not expected that just by entering the Secret Realm for a short while, just being near the Around Immortal Residence, the task would be completed.

Cheng Guang suppressed the joy in his heart, planning to claim the system task reward after returning.

"Let's go."
