Chapter 181 Strange Memories
Chapter 181 Strange Memories
"Have I... traveled through time?" Qi Tongwei sat up abruptly, looked around, and a lot of unfamiliar memories emerged in his mind.
His current identity is the seventh prince of the Da Qi Dynasty, also named Qi Tongwei. He has been weak and sickly since childhood, not favored by the emperor, and lives an almost forgotten life in the deep palace.
"Seventh Prince, you're finally awake!" A crisp voice came, and a girl in a green dress walked into the room holding a bowl of medicine. She had pretty eyebrows and eyes, with a hint of worry in them.
"Who are you?" Qi Tongwei looked at the girl in front of him, but there was no information about her in his memory.
"I am Chuntao, Seventh Prince, don't you remember me?" Chuntao put down the medicine bowl, walked to the bedside, and touched Qi Tongwei's forehead. "Fortunately, the fever has subsided. You have been in a coma for three days. I was so worried about you."
Qi Tongwei looked at Chuntao's sincere eyes and felt warm in his heart. Although the original owner of this body was not favored, there were still people around him who were truly kind to him.
"Chun Tao, I'm fine, don't worry." Qi Tongwei gave a comforting smile, took the bowl of medicine and drank it all. The bitter taste made him frown.
"Seventh Prince, please drink slowly. Be careful of the heat." Chun Tao took the empty bowl and looked at Qi Tongwei's pale face. She said distressedly, "Please take a rest first. I will prepare some food for you."
"Okay." Qi Tongwei nodded and watched Chuntao leave the room, but his heart was in turmoil.
He was originally just an ordinary programmer, living a 996 office worker life. How come he woke up and traveled through time to become a prince?
Moreover, what exactly is this "Heaven-defying System"? Why is it bound to me?
"System, are you there?" Qi Tongwei asked tentatively.
"Host, I'm here." A cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind, without a trace of emotion.
"Can you tell me why I came here?" Qi Tongwei asked impatiently.
"Host, your time travel is not accidental, but the arrangement of fate." The system replied.
"Fate's arrangement? What does that mean?" Qi Tongwei was even more confused. How could he, an ordinary person, be related to fate?
"Host, you are still too weak to understand the truth." The system said, "You just need to remember that you have the power to change the world, and I will help you complete your mission."
"Change the world? I can't change a shit!" Qi Tongwei couldn't help but swear. He just wanted to figure out the situation and then live well in this strange world. Whoever wants to change the world can do it. He is not interested anyway.
"Host, please do not question the system's judgment." The system's voice was still cold and ruthless. "What you need to do now is to improve your strength as quickly as possible. Only with powerful power can you control your own destiny."
"Strength? What strength?" Qi Tongwei was even more confused. What strength could a programmer like him, who was barely able to even lift a chicken, have?
"Host, you possess the 'power to defy the heavens', which is an existence that surpasses any power in this world. As long as you can fully control it, you can become the master of this continent!" The system's voice was full of temptation, "And I will provide you with all the help you need to stand at the top of the world!"
Qi Tongwei listened to the system's words, but his heart was filled with uneasiness. He always felt that things were not that simple. This system seemed to be deliberately hiding something...
Qi Tongwei listened to the cold voice of the system, but an inexplicable resistance rose in his heart. Change the world? Become the master? These grand words were too far away and too heavy for him. He just wanted to figure out what happened to him, and then live peacefully in this strange world.
"System, I'm not interested in anything you said. I just want to know if I can return to my original world?" There was an imperceptible tremor in Qi Tongwei's tone.
The system was silent for a moment, and then the cold mechanical voice sounded again: "Host, I cannot answer your question for the time being. Please focus on improving your strength. When your strength reaches a certain level, you will naturally understand everything."
"It's the same thing again!" Qi Tongwei was annoyed. "After talking for so long, it's like saying nothing! Is your system reliable?"
The system ignored his complaints and continued, "Host, your top priority right now is to familiarize yourself with the 'Power of Defying Heaven' as quickly as possible. I have already transferred the instructions for use into your mind, please read it carefully."
A huge amount of information poured into Qi Tongwei's mind, and he felt dizzy, as if he was about to be blown up by this flood of information. After a long while, he came to his senses and began to slowly digest the information in his mind.
The method of using the "power against heaven" is not complicated. You can mobilize this powerful force just by thinking. Qi Tongwei tried to concentrate and mobilize the "power against heaven" in his body. A warm current instantly flowed through his body. He felt as if he had endless strength and could even clearly hear his heart beating.
"Is this the 'power against heaven'? It's really powerful!" Qi Tongwei clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and couldn't help feeling excited.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open roughly, and a sharp voice rang out: "Hey, isn't this our Seventh Prince? How come you finally woke up?"
Qi Tongwei looked up and saw a fat young man in fancy clothes walking in, followed by several ferocious-looking guards.
"Who are you?" Qi Tongwei frowned slightly. He saw a hint of ill intention in the other person's eyes.
"You don't even recognize this prince? You are such a loser!" The fat man sneered with disdain, "I am your good third brother, Qi Tongwu!"
Qi Tongwei sneered in his heart. Of course he remembered this Qi Tongwu. In the original owner's memory, this third prince relied on his mother's favor and bullied the original owner. Now that the original owner has been replaced by himself, this Qi Tongwu actually dared to come to provoke him. He really doesn't know how to live or die!
"It turns out to be Third Brother. What a rare guest." Qi Tongwei raised his lips with a playful smile. "I wonder what brings you here today, Third Brother?"
"Hmph, stop playing dumb with this prince!" Qi Tongwu waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately surrounded Qi Tongwei. He walked up to Qi Tongwei, looked down at him, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. "I heard that you found a treasure in the imperial garden yesterday. If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly, otherwise..."
"What else?" Qi Tongwei looked at him with a smile, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Otherwise..." Qi Tongwu's face turned grim, and he said viciously, "Don't blame me for being rude!"
Qi Tongwei sneered in his heart. It seemed that Qi Tongwu was well-informed. He knew about the "God-Defying System" so quickly. However, he was not the soft persimmon that the original owner could bully. It was wishful thinking to want to snatch things from him!
"How do you want to be rude?" Qi Tongwei stood up slowly and looked at Qi Tongwu with cold eyes. A powerful aura emanated from him, which oppressed the guards around him so much that they couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Qi Tongwu was obviously frightened by Qi Tongwei's sudden momentum, but he quickly reacted and shouted fiercely: "You...what do you want to do? I am your third brother! If you dare to disrespect me, the emperor will definitely not let you go!"
"Father?" Qi Tongwei laughed as if he had heard a joke. "How dare you mention father? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? All you do is eat, drink and have fun, and oppress the good. Are you worthy of father's expectations of you?"
"You..." Qi Tongwu was speechless after hearing what Qi Tongwei said. His face turned pale and blue. He pointed at Qi Tongwei and kept saying "you" for a long time, but no word came out.
"What? Nothing to say?" Qi Tongwei pressed on, his eyes flashing coldly, "Since you like bullying people so much, today I will let you see what real power is!"
As he spoke, Qi Tongwei mobilized the "power against heaven" in his body, and an invisible force instantly knocked Qi Tongwu and the guards behind him to the ground...
"Ah!" A scream like a pig being slaughtered suddenly rang out in the room...
Qi Tongwu was thrown against the wall by an invisible force, making a loud "bang" sound, and his fat body slid down like a puddle of mud, unable to get up for a long time. The guards he brought with him were even more embarrassed, and each of them lay on the ground wailing as if they were kneaded by an invisible giant hand.
Qi Tongwei clapped his hands and looked at them with disdain: "With just this little ability, you dare to shout in front of this prince?"
Qi Tongwu covered his chest in pain and looked at Qi Tongwei in horror, his eyes full of disbelief: "You... you actually dared to attack this prince? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the emperor?!"
"Father? Hahaha..." Qi Tongwei laughed as if he had heard a huge joke, his laughter full of ridicule and disdain, "I am standing in front of you now, and you let father blame me!"
Qi Tongwu's face turned pale. He knew that his father had always favored his seventh brother. Even if the matter today came to his father, he would probably not do anything to him. Thinking of this, he felt even more resentful, but facing the unfathomable strength of Qi Tongwei, he did not dare to make any more mistakes and could only flee with his guards in disgrace.
Watching Qi Tongwu and his group leave in embarrassment, Qi Tongwei curled up his lips into a cold smile. This Qi Tongwu, only dared to be so arrogant and domineering because of his mother's favor. When he ascends the throne, the first person to be dealt with will be him!
"System, check my personal information." Qi Tongwei said silently in his heart.
