The game is played under the ancient and deep starry sky, the wind brings the vicissitudes of life from afar, and each line of the chessboard carries a sci-fi fluorescence, and the chess pieces fall on it, and the light fluctuates like water.

All the special effects are suppressed by the wonderful landscape around them, and the chess pieces become silent, and the only thing they can hear is the breath and pulse in the air that does not belong to them.

In such an environment, in addition to the artistry and competitiveness of Go itself, there is also a sacredness.

This is the symbolic spirit of the god of chess, the Liuhe universe.

Liuhe is a traditional metaphysical term of the motherland, referring to things like the universe and the laws of operation, and it is very powerful anyway.

However, Ke Zhiguang's first reaction when he saw this word was Wang Situ's "sweeping away the Liuhe and sweeping the eight wildernesses".

"Well, I didn't expect it, my fortune is not a living creature but an environment, right?" Hanye Xuan said.

"Actually, it's expected, after all, you have been named the god of chess, and it is natural that you have its own particularity." Ke Zhiguang said, "But although this place is called the universe, it should actually be under the universe, right?" ”

Ke Zhiguang looked up at the starry sky above him, which was still some distance away from the universe.

It could also be said that it is only one big title away.

Hanye Xuan smiled and said, "It's wrong to think that way, although this place is still some distance from the sky, we are still in the universe." ”

It's true that even if the two of them are on an unknown planet now, they are still in the realm of the universe.

Maybe on the other side of the distant planet, there is a finger pointing here, saying that the star where he is now is in the universe.

"But no matter how you look at it here, it's not just an ordinary personal fortune, right?" Koji looked around.

Although the night sky is beautiful above, the place below you is on the top of the trees, and the lush foliage stretches out to all corners of the sky as the land.

The wood of chess luck, Ke Zhiguang quickly thought of this metaphor that Xing Marrying said.

"Here it is...... The inner world of Go. Ke Zhiguang said.

Hanye Xuan nodded: "That's right, this is the world inside the chess world, or the metaphysical world, everything that happens here is not actually happening, but the operation of the law, I am just fortunate to have the key to here, it does not mean that I am the master of this world...... The title of the god of Go is just a joke, and in the final analysis, I am just a mortal. ”

Hanye Xuan said this in a mocking tone.

"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, play chess quickly, you have been there for a long time, and after playing something better to take you to Kang." Hanye Xuan shook his hand and greeted.

Not...... It's really, although it's now in a state of play, but it feels like it's a different background.

Stars, Orders, Stars, Orders——

In the fifth move, Hanye Xuan pointed the chess pieces on the side star in the center of the formation without thinking.

The black light of the trifecta seemed to echo the night sky overhead.

Cosmic flow, quite a good Yaxing, since Ke Zhiguang entered the profession, I haven't seen many people use this layout genre like this.

Although it is gorgeous, full of imagination and creativity, the odds of winning have always been worrying.

The essence of the cosmic flow lies in the pattern war, and the pattern war inevitably involves the attack and defense to the middle of the belly, although Go has been developed for thousands of years, but the middle belly of the chessboard is still a void for the players.

But it is precisely because of this that the beauty of the cosmic flow is intoxicating, and even if its winning rate is not high, there are still countless people who are willing to play chess like this.

In the sixth move, Ke Zhiguang guarded the chess pieces at the bottom right, building the strongest worry-free corner.

Seventh hand! Hanno Xuan slapped the chess pieces out like a whip, and his fingertips swept across the chessboard.

It was a four-way rush against Sanssouci Corner, a rather unexpectedly unrestrained selection point, and with his three-star opening, the majestic momentum of the game jumped out.

The opening four moves were all hanging high on the four lines, and there was a sharp piece that pressed straight into the opponent's strongest head.

If this game had been televised, countless players would have been thrilled by this whimsical move.

Ke Zhiguang snorted, a kind of smile.

Smack-

As if the bullseye was hit, Hanye Xuan was also stunned by the opponent's move, revealing a playful look of thought.

In one corner of the board, the inside of the star position of the black piece, the point of the three and three pieces is occupied by the white piece, which is too remote compared to the whole empty chessboard.

I have to admit that the unprecedented level of this move is ...... Much more exciting than his spiky scar-free angle.

is still the same sentence, they are like this because they are Ke Zhiguang and Hanye Xuan, and others will be sprayed stupid like this.

Hanye Xuan had an indescribable smile: "Hey, this opening point is three three, is it something you have recently researched?" Or is it ...... Did the gods tell you? ”

"It's a god's guidance, but the god only pointed out this hand, and as for how to proceed next, it won't squeak." Ke Zhiguang looked at the chessboard seriously, "Do you know the follow-up means?" ”

Hanye Xuan replied truthfully: "How could I know about such a thing, I just think that kid from Shixin seems to have been in a similar place." ”

"Do you play against him a lot?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

"It's a lot of times, of course I haven't beaten him once, and even I still don't know the specifics of playing against him, but your hand is ....... It does remind me of something. Hanye Xuan touched the back of his head, which didn't have much hair, and said.

"By the way, now can you tell me about the quantum mechanics behind me...... Phew, fortune, what does it look like? Ke Zhiguang asked, and a chess piece fell with the trend.

As the bearer of the dragon constellation, he is already qualified to know the answer to this question.

Every time a title is obtained, it is a round of insider updates, which has become an unspoken rule of the industry.

"That's ...... Extreme light. Hanye Xuan replied as he stared behind Ke Zhiguang, as if he was looking at something.

"Extreme light?"

"Yes, a very beautiful light, beyond color and shape, beyond words." Hanye Xuan said sincerely, looking a little fascinated.

Ke Zhiguang suddenly thought of what Koshikawa Ryuji might have seen at that time.

Perhaps, it really is light.

"But I can also feel that it's not far from the entity, and maybe you'll be able to see its deity within a month," said Hanno Xuan. ”

"So what exactly is it? Is it really a god? Ke Zhiguang turned his head and glanced behind him.

"As far as I know, they are a large race, spread all over the world, chess is the link between them and mortals, I was favored by them when I was young, but when my mission is completed, ......"

Hanye Xuan's words were cut off here.

"When your mission is complete, you lose all memories of them?" Ke Zhiguang guessed the next sentence by feeling.

"Yes, but I still remember how I felt at that time, it was the happiest day of my life, justice, blood, mission, and the people I loved had a good ending, although the process was very difficult, but looking back on it afterwards, it was still very moving."

He continued, "That's it, I'm sorry, I don't know much about it, but when its entity manifests, you can ask it yourself. ”

As he spoke, Hanye Xuan took out a flyer analogue from his pocket and handed it to Ke Zhiguang: "This, it should be your last piece of the puzzle." ”

Ke Zhiguang took the flyer and found that it was a propaganda for a chess match

The Dream Heaven Title Battle will be held in early September.

That's right, the final piece of the puzzle on the road to the ultimate is the trophy of the Dream Heaven title.

"This thing is going on in less than a month?" Ke Zhiguang said in surprise.

The title of Dream Heaven has always been an internal meme in the chess world, like "Heroes of the Storm is on fire".

It was announced early on, and it came with a high bonus, but it has never been seen, and whenever a chess player wants to spray another chess player's dish, it will spray you to play a dream heaven game!

It's like being sent to an uninhabited island to sell insurance.

I didn't expect it to be held so suddenly.

"The specific time of holding the competition is decided by Guojing, he does not stamp, even if the organizer holds the competition, it will not have a lucky effect, as for why he decided to hold it at this point in time, it may also be related to the instructions of the gods."

"Is there a god behind him?"

"Of course not, not everyone can be as special as you, who can be chosen by the gods to be the executor of the mission, and many more can only get its revelation, such as from dreams, such as on the chessboard." Hanye Xuan said.

Ke Zhiguang could understand these words.

For example, Koshikawa Ryuji also had the experience of brushing props on the chessboard, and this ability is probably not his unique privilege.

But there are probably only a few people in this world who can master this ability, such as Hanye Xuan in front of him, and then Yeshen Guojing.

Suddenly, just as Kojiguang fell, a strong tremor struck from the bottom up, the chess pieces were stirred uneasily, and the leaves rubbed between the notes of destruction, like a prelude to the coming disaster.

"Earthquake?" Ke Zhiguang asked calmly, not knowing if this was an earthquake in reality, or if there was something going on in this Liuhe universe.

"No, it's that kid from Guojing who has made a move." Hanye Xuan looked into the distance quietly and said.

"Night God Kunijing?"

"Look over there, you can see something very interesting." Hanye Xuan pointed to the distance, between a gap in the leaves.

Ke Zhiguang got up and walked over, brushing the leaves away—

The field of vision expands at a height of 10,000 meters, as if it has come to the stratosphere, and the field of vision of the small half of the planet is taken in.

A hundred meters down are still flourishing branches and leaves, and the fruits that symbolize fortune hang from the tops of the branches, like shining gems.

A colorful python swam up the branch, trying to bite the fruit, but was slapped in place by the claws of a saber-toothed tiger, and the two immediately began a fierce fight.

This should be the result of two players fighting for victory.

More than a kilometer down, the competition becomes more frequent, and thousands of symbolic spirits inhabit this giant tree, and the vigorous vitality makes the green leaves here even greener.

But at the bottom of more than 6,000 meters, the vegetation begins to become gentle, like a seedbed waiting to grow.

This is supposed to be the cradle of the symbolic spirit, where everyone's symbolic spirit thrives and rises to the top of the heights.

When it reached more than 10,000 meters below, the color darkened like a cliff, and instantly changed from gloomy to turbid darkness.

Tens of thousands of meters below, the black dragon coiled on the root of the Wood of Fortune, tearing the root system of the giant tree with its sharp teeth, and every time it bited, the giant tree shook once, and the fruit of fortune fell to the ground like water, falling into a rotten beach.

"This is...... Nied Hogg? Ke Zhiguang's eyes widened.

Nidhogg, the symbol of the capital of the night gods.

Seeing this scene, Ke Zhiguang reacted, and the Wood of Chess Luck can be compared to the World Tree in Norse mythology to various degrees.

When Nidhogg devours the roots, Ragnarok begins, and the World Tree collapses in decay.

As for how this prophecy should be translated into the Wood of Fortune, it is unknown.

Before, Ke Zhiguang always thought that the Night God Kingdom should be located at the apex of the Chess Luck Tree, but he didn't expect it to appear at the bottom of the root.

"Disaster is already on the way, you need to work hard." Hanye Xuan exhorted and encouraged.

"I still don't quite understand, I talked to the Night God Guojing once before, he seems to attach great importance to chess luck, it turns out that he is the person who poses the biggest threat to chess luck?"

"The main reason why he stopped Koshikawa Ryuji from harming the chess luck is to regard it as his own property, for decades, Kunikyo has been an important cultivator of the chess luck, but the reason why he poured his heart and soul into cultivating it is to wait for the day when it is completely strong and mature, let's eat it." Hanye Xuan said.

"It's not about eating the fruit, it's about eating the whole tree.......," Kojimitsu muttered, "and what exactly does he want in the end?" ”

Hanye Xuan pondered for a moment about this: "I think, maybe it's immortality." ”

"Eternal life?" Ke Zhiguang was stunned.

Before, he still thought that chess was like a fairy road, and maybe he could fly directly to the end of playing chess, but now it seems that this kind of sign has really appeared.

"Of course, this is just speculation, I don't know what he's thinking, what he wants, and how he can get what he wants, he's always been an enigma man." Hanno Xuan said lightly, as if he was reminiscing about the old times.

For a ninety-nine year old, it is no longer realistic to talk about a comeback to save the world, it is better to wait quietly for a new hero to appear as an observer.

"The task of stopping Kunikyo will be handed over to you, Ke Zhiguang."

"Yes." Ke Zhiguang nodded.

Tremors struck, the air pulsed with restless electric sparks, and thunder descended in the distance, piercing the black, rotting earth.

Tens of thousands of meters away, Kozhiguang looked down on Nidhogg, who was gnawing at the roots of the giant tree, as a watchman.

As if noticing him, Nidhogg stretched his wings to the maximum and roared at him with despair and death.

After a brief bite, it vibrated its wings and flew off into the distance, its massive body disappearing from view.

The root system of the Wood of Fortune has been gnawed a lot, and black flames are burning at the fractures, as if it has experienced a large-scale Black Death.

It must have been bitten like this for a long time, day after day.

Although Nidhogg is gone, Kozhiguang still looks at this fantasy world with curiosity, and the perspective turns around in this vast expanse, and the atmosphere of epic and desolation is inspiring.

At this time, Ke Zhiguang's perspective narrowed out a little and set his eyes on the distant distance.

He froze.

Looking beyond an ocean, he saw another land in the distance, especially in a world without clouds.

That piece of land looks so familiar......

Especially the contours of this coastline.....

No matter how you look at it, it's all along the southeast coast of the motherland!

The geographical structure of this world is connected with reality!

The fortune of the country is the soil, Ke Zhiguang suddenly remembered this sentence.

In other words, the place where this tree of fortune is located is really Japan.

And the soil here is on the verge of decay......
