Origin System, I have a barren mountain

After learning that Cheng Yunmo was no ordinary person, the old lady felt guilty.

My granddaughter is still young, so I should pray for more blessings for her.

The old woman went to the place she often worshipped, hoping the old man could give her some guidance.

Suddenly, a flickering light appeared in the dusty area.

The old lady was talking to herself when she suddenly saw something and looked at the glowing spot with some surprise.

“Old man, I heard you say that if you die one day, when I come to see you, I will see strange things and give them to a young girl.”

Half an hour later, Cheng Yunmo was dragged by the children to see the old lady.

Cheng Yunmo saw the old lady using her old handkerchief, but she didn't know what it was wrapped in.

The old lady seemed a little embarrassed, which puzzled Cheng Yunmo.

Subconsciously, Cheng Yunmo couldn't help but look at the child.

When the old lady noticed Cheng Yunmo looking at her little granddaughter with a puzzled expression, she knew that Cheng Yunmo must have misunderstood something.

"Don't misunderstand, young lady. It's like this: my late old man once said that I would see him again in the future and go to talk to him. He specifically said that one day a young lady would come, and if this young lady was special, I should give her the strange things I saw."

The old lady said.

Cheng Yunmo was filled with doubt and looked at the old woman's mysterious words with disbelief.

"Girl, look at what I brought you."

When Cheng Yunmo leaned closer, she saw tiny points of light slowly opening up before her eyes.

For a moment, I even saw the door flash by in the light.

Fragments of a portal to another dimension?

This thought actually crossed Cheng Yunmo's mind unconsciously.

These fragments seemed to be sentient, flying directly behind her.

Cheng Yunmo seemed to sense something and turned around to look. In the virtual images, he could vaguely see a desolate mountain that seemed to have come from nowhere.

What black?

He Bai?

Cheng Yunmo silently mentioned the names of these two people in his mind, and then he saw movement in the desolate mountain.

The fragments of the jade pendant flew past, and although the barren mountain seemed unchanged, it had unknowingly become more connected to her.

At this moment, in the Xu Kingdom.

Wu Hua stared coldly at the man sitting on equal footing with her. The man was dressed in a black gauze robe, which completely covered his face.

"Imperial Preceptor, you haven't come for a long time. Now that you've come, you're just sitting here without saying a word. What's the matter?"

The Imperial Advisor glanced at the Empress Dowager, whose mood was unsettled, and then his gaze swept indifferently over everything in the palace.

"Are all the things brought from modern times still working properly?"

Wu Hua was suddenly taken aback by this unexpected question. She subconsciously looked around before slowly saying, "These things are useful, but they keep burning Liang Yu and Mu Wanwan's luck. How long can they last?"

The Imperial Advisor laughed heartily, as if he had heard a fantastical joke, before regaining his composure.

"Empress Dowager, what ridiculous joke are you making? Didn't you yourself agree to this cooperation in the first place? Why are you suddenly concerned about the fate of the Xu Kingdom?"

The Imperial Advisor casually brought up the past, completely ignoring the Empress Dowager's ashen face.

How could Wu Hua not feel hatred in her heart? Although everyone believed that she, the Empress Dowager, was in cahoots with the Imperial Advisor, and that whatever the Imperial Advisor did was at the behest of her, the Empress Dowager.

But none of this was real; the imperial advisor she met when she was young had changed her.

When I was young, I met the Imperial Advisor and thought he was a profound and unfathomable master who knew all my decisions and all future events.

The imperial advisor once said that although she was very fortunate, she would not be able to conceive her own child.

Therefore, her future, and the future of the Xu Kingdom, will no longer be defined by her status as the female lead, but rather by her status as the future emperor, someone who will inherit the female lead's aura.

Wu Hua couldn't believe how she had managed to get to where she was back then.

Even she herself rarely had the chance to see the Imperial Advisor. The reason why Xu Kingdom had become what it is now was because of the Imperial Advisor's indifference; every time she tried to find him, she could not find him.

Now, although she is the most honored Empress Dowager of Xu Kingdom, her Xu Kingdom has become like this. What does it matter how honored and well she lives?

The Imperial Advisor glanced at the Empress Dowager's expression, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to look at me like that. Can you really give up your current life of luxury?"

Wu Hua immediately fell silent and awkwardly looked away.

"I'm here today because of the Gate of Time."

Wu Hua froze, glancing at the Imperial Advisor with a hint of disbelief.

"Only I know where you got the information about the portal between time and space?"

Wu Hua was a little incredulous. Although she knew the Imperial Advisor was very powerful, she didn't expect him to know such confidential information.

"I am the Imperial Advisor, He Hei, who was very fond of you back then. Do you really think I don't know his identity?"

Wu Hua glanced at the Imperial Preceptor in disbelief; this matter was indeed known only to her.

Because she knew what He Hei's identity meant; only He Hei herself knew her identity.

The Imperial Advisor watched as the Empress Dowager fell into deep thought, recalling how he had almost disbelieved his ears when he first received the news.

How did she, a seemingly weak person, gain the approval of someone like He Hei?

He not only loved her, but also lost his divine status for her.

The Gate of Time and Space was controlled by the Grand Preceptors of the various emperors of the Xu Kingdom, a fact that was only discovered later.

However, although he was the Imperial Preceptor, he did not have this jade pendant that symbolized the Gate of Time and Space, which meant that his identity as the Imperial Preceptor was no longer recognized.

"What do you mean by mentioning the Imperial Advisor now?"

Wu Hua asked.

"You probably forgot to close the basement door, and He Hei ran out."

"That's what the Imperial Advisor said."

When Wu Hua heard the Imperial Advisor say this, she subconsciously sneered and said, "Although you are the Imperial Advisor, you shouldn't talk nonsense. You just said that He Hei is dead. A dead man, and now you're telling me he ran away? How could he have run away from my basement?"

But then he realized something: He Hei was no ordinary person.

The Empress Dowager is now truly afraid. What He Bai was certain of when he was alive was that the other party really liked her and was willing to do anything for her.

But if He Bai were alive now, he would definitely be trying every means to make her his enemy.

“Your Majesty, you’ve forgotten the most crucial figure: the Imperial Advisor. Liang Yu’s Imperial Advisor is quite different from mine.”
