Above the void, the trajectory of Wisdom manifested itself and turned into a line, intertwining with each other to form a chessboard. The whole space was surrounded by a mysterious aura, isolated into an independent space.
“What is this? I can actually feel a strong Origins aura!”
“A real heaven and earth have been created! Not only are the Origins and Wisdom here, but even the rules of heaven and earth have been laid down!”
“Is this the chess world? What level is this chessboard that it can actually manifest a chess world!?”
“The seventh dimension is truly terrifying!”
Just when everyone was shocked, the chessboard had already blanketed them, and a brilliant light washed over them, giving them an identity as if they were newborns.
Everyone’s bodies got bigger and some words appeared on their bodies, denoting the part they would play in the chess game. Cultivator Junjun looked at his body with confusion, for his belly was printed with the word ‘pawn’, putting him in the front row of the chessboard.
“What’s going on?” Yang Jing, Xiao Chengfeng, Xing Ya, and Tong Tian stood side by side with him, for there were also pawns.
Xiao Chengfeng laughed loudly and said, “We’ve been put at the very front of the line which just shows how important we are. Hahaha, I’ll take the lead in the charge!”
Opposite them, there were also five people corresponding to them one-to-one, among them, were Shi Zhenxiang, Shi Tainong, and Shi Kelang. They were staring at Yang Jing coldly.
“The third eye’s unique to the Heaven-eyed Donkey. Why do you, a human, have it?” asked Shi Zhenxiang.
“This third eye’s well-known in all of the seven dimensions. Where did you get it from, and what connection does it have with our Heaven-eyed Donkey clan?” asked Shi Tainong.
“Bullsh*t! I’m Yang Jing and my third eye’s a gift from God. When did the third eye ever become you donkeys’ sole claim?” said Yang Jing.
“Hehe, I can feel that your third eye’s as good as ours. You must be the product of a Heaven-eyed Donkey and a human!” analyzed Shi Kelang thoughtfully.
“Your body flows with the blood of my sacred donkey clan. It’s high time you pay respect to your ancestors,” said Shi Zhenxiang sternly.
Cultivator Junjun and others were all struck dumb. They all turned to look at Yang Jing with an odd look in their eyes while a smile bloomed on their faces.
“I never expected you to come from such a tumultuous background, Yang Jing. Your parents not only had an interdimensional but also an interracial relationship!” said Xing Ya.
“Brother Yang Jing, now I know why you can’t help being such an ass,” said Xiao Chengfeng playfully.
“Yang Jing, there’s no need to keep the story of your birth under wraps anymore,” said Tong Tian.
Yang Jing’s face was as black as charcoal and he said in a low voice, “Shut up all of you! I’ll kill these three donkeys!”
Gu Ai was printed with the word ‘king’ on his body. He was surprised by everyone’s transformation but that surprise immediately turned into solemness. “Interesting. You’ve turned the void into a chessboard and us, the chess pieces. What are the rules of the chess game?”
Little Fox was in the position of the ‘king’. “This game’s called chess. As for the rules, you can use your divine consciousness to find out.”
Blackie had become the ‘queen’ standing next to her. He seemed to be a little confused and a little nervous. ‘This Little Fox is too naughty for her own good. How could she steal the master’s chessboard and use it to play chess with the intruders? We’ll definitely die if we get taken out by our opponents.”
This was a very dangerous chess game indeed. If everything was to go according to the rules, there would inevitably be pieces taken out. Everyone closed their eyes and quickly perceived the gameplay of the chess game from this world.
They were all very powerful. They were able to understand the rules very quickly due to their divine consciousness and talent in scheming.
Gu Ai was sure that he held a winning ticket in his hand. “This is going to be fun. Little Fox, you can make the first move!”
Little Fox waved her hand, and Nanan, who was a pawn, flew around and came to the corresponding position.
“Go, Gu Debai!” Gu Ai waved, and Gu Debai, who was a knight, jumped out immediately.
Thus began a fierce chess battle and everyone was flying on the board like chess pieces according to their instructions. After walking seven turns, the first victim was close at hand. Under Little Fox’s order, Yang Jing, as a pawn, crossed the middle of the board
“Hehe, you donkeys better be prepared to die for having the same eye as me!” said Yang Jing coldly. He waved the three-pronged sword in his hand and the light of mana flashed as he cut straight down toward Shi Tainong!
“Ah! No!” Shi Tainong shouted desperately. He wanted to escape or fight back but found that he could not do it at all. An unbelievably powerful rule was suppressing him and he could do nothing but stand there.
The sword light flashed and in the next instant, Shi Tainong fell to the ground in a pool of blood. He transformed back into his original donkey form as soon as he touched the ground.
“Hurray! I haven’t eaten donkey meat for a long time!” said Nanan happily.
“Even thinking about grilling it makes me want to drool,” said Blackie, as he gulped down his saliva.
“Brother Li did say that the most delicious meat on the ground is the donkey’s and the most delicious meat in the air is the dragon’s,” said Dragin.
As the ‘bishop’, Ao Cheng felt a chill in his heart and quickly reminded her, “Dragin, have you forgotten that you’re a dragon, too?”
“Hehe, lose the battle to win the war,” said Gu Ai with a sneer. He raised his hand and pointed. Gu Lie, who was a ‘bishop’ jumped and targeted Yang Jing.
In his current position, Yang Jing would definitely be killed by Gu Lie in the next turn if he stayed where he was but if he moved forward, he would be killed by Gu Debai, who was a ‘knight’. It seemed like he had nowhere to turn.
Yang Jing’s expressions changed slightly and his limbs went cold. The eyes of all the Heavenly Palace people displayed their conflicted feelings. They were all looking at Yang Jing silently.
They could not stand by and just watch Yang Jing die like that. After all, they were not made of the same cloth as the cold-blooded Gu Ai. However, this was a game of chess after all. One must sacrifice the chess pieces to win. This was an inevitable rule.
“It’s okay. I should’ve been dead a long time ago. It was the expert who gave me a new life, and also allowed me to see a broader world so I feel at peace knowing that my death won’t be meaningless,” said Yang Jing breezily.
“Hahaha, very well then. I’ll grant you your wish of death!” Gu Lie and Gu Debai both looked at Yang Jing like he was a prey of theirs while their murderous aura bubbled and boiled over.
Gu Ai looked at Little Fox and said, “It’s your turn now.”
Little Fox looked calm as she said lightly, “Little pawn, take one square back.”
Immediately, Yang Jian’s body was pulled back by a force. Seeing this, he and everyone else from the Heavenly Palace was struck dumb while the Eldritchs and the others were even more dumbfounded.
They could not believe what they had seen.
Gu Ai’s face darkened. “What are you doing? How can the pawn go back?!” He asked the question that everyone had in their hearts.
Everyone knew the rules and all of them had to abide by them. However, it was obvious that Little Fox had just completely violated the rules.
“Why are you making such a fuss? This pawn’s special so of course, it can move back,” said Little Fox in a matter-of-fact way.
Gu Ai’s mouth stayed agape for a long time before he finally said, “Then my pawns are special, too!”
“No! You’re breaking the rules!” said Little Fox immediately.
“What?!” Gu Ai and the others’ brains were about to explode and their faces were flushed with anger.
“I’ve been given special permission by Brother Li to use special pawns. Have you been permitted by him?” said Little Fox in that matter-of-fact way of hers. “Hurry up, go on! Let me see just how good you are!”
Gu Ai laughed angrily and said gloomily, “Just you wait. You’re still no match for me even if you cheat!” He continued to play with Little Fox. His eyes flickered as his mind spun with all the ways to defeat her. He became more conservative in his moves and the atmosphere between them suddenly became tense as the situation became more and more serious.
Finally, Little Fox caught another opportunity. “Nanan, capture the opponent’s knight.”
Immediately, Nanan took off to the other side of the chessboard and beheaded the opponent’s ‘knight’. Even she herself was surprised by the move. She was a ‘pawn’, meaning she could only move one square at a time, and yet…
“What’s the meaning of this?” asked Gu Ai, outraged.
“This pawn possesses a weapon that allows it to kill enemies from a long distance. By the way, Dragin, you’re no ordinary knight, but a winged knight. You can cross the chessboard to kill Gu Lie. You too, Jade Emperor, you’re no ordinary bishop, but a winged bishop. You can cross the chessboard to take out Yun Qianshan,” said Little Fox.
Talk about a one-sided game. Gu Ai had no room to fight back. His eyes were flushed with abuse as if he was about to cry. He gritted his teeth and tried desperately to take out some of her pieces, but they were always saved at the last minute by Little Fox’s own inexplicable rules. Sometimes, she would even do a takeback.
Soon, the chessboard had been cleared by half.
“This is madness! Madness, I tell you!” Gu Ai was still in his ‘king’ position and was physically and mentally exhausted by what he was seeing before him.
He looked so pitiful that even the people from the Heavenly Palace started to feel bad for him.
‘That poor thing.’
‘Why would you even agree to play chess with someone who likes to make up her own rules? Isn’t this looking for abuse?’
‘The expert’s so amazing. Even with this kind of madness, he could still teach Little Fox how to play chess. I need to make a note to myself to never play against her.’
“Your Majesty, you have nowhere else to go.” Little Fox smiled slightly, enjoying the fruits of her victory. “You’re lousy at this. I’ve won with all pieces still on the board. This is so boring.”
Hearing this, Gu Ai spurted out a mouthful of blood while his whole body trembled with anger. He gave a miserable laugh, secretly took out the Cross Dimension Mirror, and hid it behind him. He was preparing to send a message to Ancestor Eldritch before he died.
It was important to inform Ancestor Eldritch about what the Origins from the seventh dimension really was and that it was poisoned. He swept his hand across the mirror and began to dial.
“It’s over,” said Little Fox faintly. With a wave of her hand, Nanan flew up, her body surrounded by a devouring power, and blasted Gu Ai with a punch.
Gu Ai’s eyes were about to split apart and on his right hand, the power of Origins madly urged. The mighty power kicked up a storm on the chessboard. He pushed all his powers to the extreme and he was able to briefly confront the rules of the chess game. With his right hand raised, surrounded by endless Origins, he forcefully opened a hole in the chessboard.
The Cross Dimension Mirror fell from the void.
At this time, Gu Hui happened to have already picked up. Seeing the image in the mirror that it was being thrown into chaos, he asked majestically, “What happened, Gu Ai?”
Gu Ai screamed with all his might, “Ancestor Eldritch, the Origins from the seventh dimension are poisonous. It’s very important that you don’t eat it and force it out of your body right now!”
In the first dimension, Gu Hui frowned and listened carefully to the sound coming from the other end. Gu Ai’s voice was intermittent and coupled with the chaotic scene in the mirror, he naturally guessed that they had run into some trouble. The information that came at this time must be extremely critical.
“The Origins of the seventh dimension…is important…must eat…right now…?” Gu Hui analyzed the words from Gu Ai, thinking carefully. “The Origins of the seventh dimension is very important and I must eat it right now? I don’t need him to tell me that. What exactly is he going on about?”
Just when he was still puzzling it over, the Cross Dimension Mirror fell straight into the Fallen Immortal Mountain and landed squarely in the dung pit.
“Huh? This is..” Gu Hui’s eyes widened and then there was ecstasy on his face. He said excitedly, “It’s the Origins of the seventh dimension! There’s so much of it! This must be its source!
“Gu Ai must’ve worked so hard to make sure the Cross Dimension Mirror landed here! It’s no wonder he wanted to make sure I’d eat every single one of them. This is indeed very important. I mustn’t let their efforts go to waste.”
Gu Hui swept his big hand across the mirror and the two mirrors immediately connected. The Origins from the seventh dimension began to pour out from the mirror Gu Hui was holding.
“Hahaha, there’s so much of it! I’ve hit the jackpot!” Gu Hui was soaked in the Origins in the seventh dimension and there was extreme excitement in his tone. “I have to work quickly. With this much Origins, I can definitely condense the Origins of the seventh dimension in my body.”
On the other side, peace had fallen in the Fallen Immortal Mountain again.
Little Fox put away the chessboard. “Brother Li’s right! I’m actually very strong. Did you all see how I defeated the opponent just now?” she asked with a face flushed with excitement.
The Heavenly Palace were gawking at her, none of them dared to tell her otherwise. Even Blackie shrank his head and said nothing, for they all knew that things would not end well for them if they dared to offend a person who liked to make her own rules in a game.
