My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang called out to Cheng Shiyuan at this moment.

"Grandfather, wait a moment."

Cheng Shiyuan paused slightly before turning to Cheng Guang with a face of stern coldness, revealing a hint of puzzlement.

"What is it?"

Cheng Guang looked at Cheng Shiyuan and said, "Grandfather, take me with you to have a look. Maybe I can be of some help."

To these words, Cheng Shiyuan shook his head with slight helplessness. "You, you might not realize the dangers of the Secret Realm. Just stay put in North City, don't go anywhere. It's enough for this old man to go and take a look."

But Cheng Guang shook his head, insisting again and again.

Seeing the resolute expression on Cheng Guang's face, Cheng Shiyuan seemed to understand something, probably thinking that his grandson was worried about that wife-to-be, Qin Yanqiu, who had not yet crossed the threshold of their home.

A look of indulgence appeared on his face.

For this grandson, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, could not really utter any words of refusal, and he sighed, saying,

"Alright then, I will take you with me. But, my grandson, you must promise me one thing."

Cheng Guang nodded. "You say."

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, said, "You must not leave my side, understand?"

In Cheng Shiyuan's view, even if the Secret Realm was dangerous, it was not likely to threaten him, a Sky-Man. This self-confidence was something that the Duke still possessed.

Of course, even if there were dangers that could threaten him, protecting Cheng Guang alone wouldn't pose much of a problem.

Besides, taking his own grandson to have a look at the Secret Realm and letting his grandson show off in front of others wasn't a bad idea.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, thought to himself, and a timely expression of happiness appeared on his aged face.

Cheng Guang agreed once more.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, upon hearing Cheng Guang being so sensible and obedient, gently picked him up and stepped out, turning into a streak of light, and dashed towards the distance.

Qi surged through the sky, imposing and magnificent, quickly catching the attention of the many soldiers in North City.

"Where is the Duke going?"

"He's streaking in the direction of the Border Area battlefield, has the Devil Clan stirred again?"

"Who knows? If the Devil Clan were stirring, wouldn't General Qin also have set out along with the Duke?"

A number of soldiers began discussing aloud.

Qin Beifeng, who remained in place, watched as Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan left with Cheng Guang, the color of worry in his eyes not diminishing.

No one knows the degree of danger in the Secret Realm.

Even if the Duke was confident that there would be no danger to himself and Cheng Guang at his side.

But this…

still couldn't guarantee that Qin Yanqiu would be able to return safely.

Qin Yanqiu was originally supposed to wed Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke's Heir.

She should not have been wandering around everywhere, let alone stepping onto a battlefield.

But...

Qin Yanqiu simply had no patience; she'd probably even go to the battlefield while pregnant if it didn't hinder her from fighting the enemy, and in the future, she might still charge into battle with a swollen belly.

Qin Beifeng felt rather helpless about Qin Yanqiu's unruly nature.

Now that the Duke himself was en route, the chances of Qin Yanqiu surviving increased significantly.

Even if he was anxious, there was little he could do at the moment; he could only wait helplessly and quietly.

"Father, what do we do now? Do we go back? Or shall we go and take a look around the Secret Realm?" Qin Gaozhi, standing beside Qin Beifeng, asked.

While speaking, his gaze involuntarily turned toward the vicinity of the Border Area battlefield.

He was somewhat lost in thought.

He also had not expected that he would hear such terrible news just after returning to North City.

If Qin Yanqiu truly died within the Secret Realm...

Qin Gaozhi could hardly bear to imagine the scene.

He hurriedly shook his head.

Qin Beifeng did not pay attention to the change in Qin Gaozhi's expression, but looked towards the distant Border Area battlefield, saying,

"Let's go take a look. Even if we cannot enter the Secret Realm, we should lead the troops there to prevent the Demon Beasts from approaching it!"

With that, Qin Beifeng pulled out a military Token and issued a command.

A moment later.

The heavy gates of North City slowly opened, and the surging flood of tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry burst forth from North City, charging toward the Border Area battlefield.

…

Cheng Guang, supported by Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan, was soaring towards the depths of the Border Area battlefield.

The Border Area battlefield was a unique space filled with chaos and order, connecting different Border Areas and serving as a focal point where various forces converged.

The closer one got to the depths of the Border Area battlefield, the figures from the Great Zhou Dynasty, or rather, from the Four Directions Mortal World, began to blur.

The sky over the battlefield resembled a shattered mirror, with its cracks revealing profound darkness.

In the far-off horizon, the silhouettes of other Border Areas were faintly visible, as if they were communicating an indescribable ancient mystery.

On the ground, endless traces of war scathed the land like enormous scars etched deeply into the barren earth. The desolate plains, ruined forests, and cities atop the rubble all silently narrated the intense battles once fought here.

The air was permeated with the smells of gunpowder and blood, filling the entire battlefield with the scent of death. This aroma stimulated the nerves of every being, keeping them highly alert to their surroundings.

When Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan finally halted, Cheng Guang found himself above a vast canyon, tens of thousands of feet deep.

Beneath the canyon was a shadowy trace like a dark little serpent.

That was the Spacetime Rift leading to the Secret Realm.

Even before getting close, one could feel the dreadful aura emanating from the rift.

"My grandson, don't stray from me when we're there," Duke Zhen Guo instructed.
