MY SYSTEM IS THREE THOUSAND YEARS EARLY

Chapter 739: Chapter 209: He’s Actually Dead? How Did He Die?? (Subscribe Please)_2

The pristine Daoist robe was dyed blood red.

And by the side of this elderly man, several scattered white bones lay.

These bones, unlike the Daoist-robed old man, did not resist decay.

Most had slowly disappeared over the long river of time, turning into such bare white bones.

Cheng Guang looked at the old man, at the Daoist robe he was wearing, and suddenly felt in his heart that this old man might just be the Supreme Old Monarch…

But…

…

As soon as Cheng Guang thought this, he again felt it was unlikely.

After all, the Supreme Old Monarch was no ordinary figure.

He was one of the “Three Pure Ones,” the Celestial Venerable of the Way in Taoism.

Even the Jade Emperor would not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Supreme Old Monarch.

Such a personage, at this moment, was actually dead???

And died within his own resting palace???

Who could possibly have killed the Supreme Old Monarch??

Cheng Guang looked at the Supreme Old Monarch not far away, his eyes trembling incessantly, unable to believe it, and at the same time, he felt in his heart that this person might not be the Supreme Old Monarch.

After all, Cheng Guang had never seen what the Supreme Old Monarch looked like.

It was uncertain based on just a feeling.

Cheng Guang’s gaze fell upon Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.

“Do you know who this person is?”

Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, having heard Cheng Guang’s words, swallowed their saliva with difficulty and then let out a dry chuckle.

“Master, you jest, we do not recognize this man…”

“He is…”

Before Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha could finish their sentence, Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang, who had just regained a bit of his composure from the shock of the Southern Heavenly Gate, slowly opened his eyes and caught sight of the figure of the Daoist-robed elder.

Just one glance.

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang had just woken up and nearly fainted again.

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang’s body trembled, and then he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

“Ah!!!!!”

“Is this the Old Monarch?????”

“He…”

“How did he die??”

Hearing Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang’s voice, Cheng Guang also felt there was no need to ponder further.

The Daoist-robed old man before him could almost certainly be confirmed as the Supreme Old Monarch without a doubt.

The Daoist-robed old man before him was the Supreme Old Monarch, even though Cheng Guang initially refused to accept it, but had also anticipated it.

Only.

What surprised Cheng Guang a bit was.

That he, along with Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, seemed reasonably shocked by the death of the Supreme Old Monarch.

Why then did Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang, one of the Celestial Gods, appear so astonished???

Even if Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang was just a minor deity, tasked with guarding the gates, insignificant.

But.

All the deities who left or entered the Heavenly Court, he should have been aware of.

In terms of being informed, probably only behind Clairvoyant and Clairaudient, Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang would be the most knowledgeable.

So how could he react this way to the death of the Supreme Old Monarch?

Cheng Guang’s eyebrows involuntarily furrowed slightly, his eyes fixed on Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang, puzzled.

It wasn’t just Cheng Guang who was perplexed.

Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha were also confused.

Without needing Cheng Guang to say anything, Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha very sensibly addressed Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang with their questions.

“You didn’t know that something happened to the Supreme Old Monarch?”

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang shook his head, his face filled with horror, “I, I had no idea.”

“During the turmoil that arose in Heavenly Court back then, there were battles everywhere, I could see the Jade Emperor, the Old Monarch, and many senior deities dealing with deities who had cultivation problems and couldn’t control themselves.”

“Then the Heavenly Court collapsed.”

“After that, I don’t know much.”

“When order gradually stabilized later, I was suddenly killed.”

“If I hadn’t already prepared for reincarnation, I would likely be dead by now.”

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang spoke with an urgent tone.

In his view, it was highly improbable that the Supreme Old Monarch could be dead.

Most of the practitioners who had encountered issues in their cultivation had stabilized their conditions with pills provided by the Supreme Old Monarch.

How could someone so skilled in Dan medicine, someone who could control evil with it, possibly die just like that?

Looking at the state of the Supreme Old Monarch, it seemed he had been murdered…

Who would have the audacity to kill the Supreme Old Monarch?

Could it have been a practitioner who had accidentally killed the Supreme Old Monarch due to a mishap in their cultivation?

Or…

Was this a premeditated act?

The more Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.

He hadn’t even considered that the Supreme Old Monarch was dead before seeing his body.

And yet, since the turmoil in the Heavenly Court, there had been no news, not even a whisper.

This whole affair seemed utterly inconceivable.

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang could only feel that the entire Heavenly Court, and the disorder that had spread through it, was shrouded in an unfathomable, impenetrable mist.

Cheng Guang, listening to Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang’s words, furrowed his brows yet again.

“Heavenly turmoil?”

“What exactly happened?”

Cheng Guang latched onto the urgency in Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang’s words, known to him were the ancient times when all practitioners encountered issues in their cultivation.

Not just the Celestial Gods, not just the Western Buddhas, but all sentient beings who had already begun the path of cultivation experienced disturbances.

To various degrees, they were all affected by the influence of evil.

Cheng Guang had never heard of such turmoil in the Heavenly Court.

The Great Tang Emperor had not mentioned any such disorder taking place within the Heavenly Court to Cheng Guang either.

Perhaps it was simply because the Great Tang Emperor was not privy to such lofty matters involving the Heavenly Court.

Thus, he wouldn’t know when the turmoil had erupted, nor the causes and consequences of it.

But then again.

The Great Tang Emperor should have been aware of the turmoil, he just hadn’t shared it with Cheng Guang.

As Cheng Guang pondered, he managed to sort through some of his thoughts.

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang, hearing Cheng Guang’s inquiry, took a deep breath and his expression became complex and fearful.

He didn’t want to answer nor recall those memories.

But.

Under the gaze of Cheng Guang, as well as Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang honestly began to respond.

“That turmoil within the Heavenly Court, I’m not entirely clear about it either, I only remember that on the day of my duty, deep within the Heavenly Court, seemingly from the Jade Emperor’s sleeping chambers, there erupted a power so immense.”

“Immediately afterward, I saw many higher gods rushing to see the Jade Emperor.”

“Not long after that, the Jade Emperor and a few of the higher gods began to fight, and quickly, the Supreme Old Monarch also rushed over.”

“The conflict erupted without the slightest precursor, and I had thought it would be quickly quelled.”

“After all, no one could stand against the Jade Emperor.”

“But unexpectedly, the higher gods were able to suppress the Jade Emperor.”

“Besides the few that started fighting with the Jade Emperor initially, gods from all corners of the Heavenly Court suddenly began to stir.”

“They didn’t seem to be tainted by evil and lose clarity of their Primordial Spirits; however, they attacked those around them without any consideration.”

“This disturbance rapidly destroyed the tranquility of the Heavenly Court.”

“I had thought it would soon be calmed, but the fight went on for decades.”

“The Heavenly Court was violently shattered to pieces.”

“I too was struck down to the mortal realm.”

“When I regained my senses, I found my own cultivation was troubled, and later, I was killed by someone unknown.”

Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang spoke slowly.

In those times, Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang was but a minor deity.

As others fought, he could only watch.

He had no opportunity to intervene.

Every day was spent in fear and trepidation.

No wonder Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang did not wish to remember any of it.

Cheng Guang understood this.
