My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

...

In Duke Zhen's Mansion, within a secret chamber.

The surrounding walls, made of Black Iron, were air-tight, with very little light to speak of, a darkness so complete that only an Ever-bright Lamp provided a scarce amount of illumination in this pitch-black room.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, supported the body of Cheng Guang as he slowly walked into the chamber.

The sorrow that once filled his eyes gradually receded and disappeared upon stepping into the chamber.

He placed Cheng Guang onto the bed.

Examining Cheng Guang.

Something was strange.

"Grandson, your methods are quite peculiar. Although your body has sustained numerous, severe injuries, they don't seem to reach your core; most are superficial," he said.

"At the same time, there seems to be a force that is repairing your body. If you weren't actively suppressing it, the injuries you have would have mostly recovered by now."

"If I were not a Sky-Man myself, I probably wouldn't have realized it. I must admit, I was quite scared at first," said Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, still shaken.

Seeing Cheng Guang lying in a pool of blood truly frightened him.

Fortunately, after a careful examination of Cheng Guang's body, and relying on the perception unique to those in the Heavenly Human Realm, he sensed something unusual about Cheng Guang.

Even though Cheng Guang's injuries were severe, and his breathing and heartbeat had almost stopped, it was all under the influence of an inexplicable force.

Cheng Guang's life was not in danger, and his breathing and heartbeat hadn't completely ceased...

It was as if...

The flow of time had been slowed down.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, was dumbstruck after just sensing it.

Realizing that Cheng Guang was not truly injured, but had used certain means to feign this appearance, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, although unsure what Cheng Guang intended to do by deliberately injuring himself, did not expose his thoughts and played along with his plan.

Now that Qin Gaozhi was dead, his grandson's goal must have been achieved, right?

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, stroked his chin, pondering.

Meanwhile, just as the words of Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, ended, Cheng Guang's previously limp hand twitched a few times.

It was as if someone had pressed the play button on a video.

Cheng Guang suddenly gasped for air, breathing heavily, as the Bloodline Divine Powers inherited from the true Princely Heir of the Great Zhou Empire, Everlasting, spontaneously activated within him.

A mysterious Divine glossiness covered his entire body.

His wounds began to heal rapidly.

Even the meridians in his body, which for an ordinary person would be considered irrevocably damaged for cultivation, were now visibly regenerating at an astonishing pace, healing on their own.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, watching Cheng Guang at this moment, had anticipated this to some extent, but still, witnessing Cheng Guang sitting upright suddenly as if by a miracle, and then his wounds healing quickly, found his own breath catching ever so slightly.

Although he didn't fully understand the method Cheng Guang had used earlier, which made his vital signs appear paused, he was profoundly familiar with the Divine glossiness now flickering on Cheng Guang's body.

Could this be...

The Bloodline Divine Powers of the Great Zhou Imperial Family!?

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, was shocked by just one glance.

Why did his grandson possess the Bloodline Divine Powers of the Great Zhou Imperial Family!?

Could it be that after the Imperial bloodline was extracted years ago, it wasn't completely removed, but a trace was left behind!?!

Just this remnant of the Imperial bloodline enabled his grandson to awaken the Bloodline Divine Powers of the Great Zhou Imperial Family???

This...

This...

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, stretched his mouth into a wide smile, his face suddenly brimming with joy.

At this moment, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, showed no trace of the hardened warrior forged from battlefields of corpses and seas of blood, but rather resembled an ordinary aging farmer.

He nearly leaped for joy, clapping his hands like a dolphin.

For Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, there was nothing more delightful than his grandson achieving more accomplishments and prowess.

Ordinary scions of the Great Zhou Imperial Family often struggle just to awaken their Bloodline Divine Powers.

The amount of resources needed for such an awakening is immense, and without talent, the process could require innumerable immersions in the Blood Pool to achieve.

But what about his grandson?

He hadn't even entered the Blood Pool once.

Moreover, it seemed as though the Imperial bloodline within his grandson had been entirely extracted.

Yet despite this, he was still able to awaken the Great Zhou Imperial Family's Bloodline Divine Powers!

This was almost like getting a bargain for nothing!!!

Joyous!!

Truly joyous!!

If it weren't for the time and place, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, would have wanted to laugh out loud with glee.

He briefly considered why Cheng Guang was able to awaken and possess the Divine Powers of the Great Zhou Imperial bloodline, but couldn't figure it out.

There had been no precedent of someone awakening their bloodline powers after having their Imperial bloodline extracted.

Could it be that his grandson, after merging with the bloodline of the Great Chu Imperial Family, caused some reaction with the residual Great Zhou Imperial bloodline within his body?

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, stroked his chin, contemplating delicately.

He didn't ponder for long.

His gaze then turned back to Cheng Guang on the bed.

Cheng Guang's complexion was getting better.

HIs internal injuries had all healed, and the meridians that were shattered just moments ago were as good as new, and seemed even more resilient than before.
