Volume 3, Chapter 77 You and I are both in this game.

Upon hearing this, the old man paused his hand in mid-air, which was about to make a move, and looked up at a corner of the starry sky. That was where he had been before, and where the legend of his life began.

"I am a member of the Celestial Clan. My name is Ye Tian. I remember they all called me the Great Mage, the Lord of the Human Race, the Supreme King, and many other names. I can't remember them all."

After he finished speaking, the starlight in Ye Tingmu's hand gathered together and formed a black piece, which fell beside him.

"I didn't expect that the Tianyi Clan, the leader of the five immortal saint clans, was actually founded by a senior. It's really surprising."

"It's all just past glory. Now I'm just a prisoner. What's the use of being the immortal king or the ruler of the world? To this universe, I'm still just an ant, a chess piece, at the mercy of others." His voice was low, but calm.

It seemed like he had already gotten used to all this.

Ye Tingmu stopped talking. He didn't know how to talk to the benefactor in front of him, or rather, he didn't know how to comfort him.

He just continued to make moves. The old man had done him a favor, and he knew from their last encounter that the old man was concerned about too many things, and his clansmen were probably one of them.

And as Guanqi said, the contemporary Immortal King is a member of the Heavenly Clan. If he crosses the Immortal Road, he will inevitably have a bloody battle with him at the end.

Between the two, only one person can survive. If the Immortal King is the descendant of the old man, what should he do, kill him or not.

This is a problem.

Before he could speak, after a brief silence between the two, the old man spoke again, breaking the silence.

"Do you know why I helped you in the first place?"

Ye Tingmu frowned, thinking, and then shook his head.

"I don't know, but if you are willing to tell me, I am willing to listen."

"Hahaha...you little fellow, are truly interesting." The old man smiled and continued, "When I first met you, I deduced your past, and the path you've taken is very similar to mine."

Ye Tingmu also chuckled, "So, Senior, are you helping me because we appreciate each other?"

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Yes, but not entirely. I'm helping you for another reason."

"Oh, please show me what's going on, senior."

"I was imprisoned here by the Tenth Avalokitesvara. I once had a dream in which I saw a man who told me that if I wanted to leave this place and get what I wanted, I needed to wait for another person to lead the way, and then I could break the impasse." He paused for a moment, the old man stared at him with his deep eyes, and said solemnly, "And you are the one he told me to wait for."

Now it was Ye Tingmu's turn to be a little confused. He originally thought that meeting the old man was just fate and a coincidence.

Now hearing what the old man said, it seemed that meeting him was a foregone conclusion. Could it be that the old man was also a hidden chess piece planted by Su Changge?

However, as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he ruthlessly erased it.

The old man was the first generation of Immortal King, who lived several eras before Su Changge. It was impossible for him to be used as a pawn by Su Changge.

So maybe the two of them had some kind of friendship, or some kind of agreement. This explanation seems more reasonable.

I wondered if this old man was also involved.

He asked quickly.

"May I ask if you, senior, have ever met Su Changge?"

In response to Ye Tingmu's question, the old man quickly gave his answer.

"Of course I know that little fellow. I've met him twice before. If my deduction is correct, one out of ten situations you've been in throughout your life were set up by him."

Ye Tingmu was stunned when he heard this. He was not surprised that the old man in front of him knew Su Changge, nor was he surprised that he called Su Changge "little guy".

What he couldn't understand was why Su Changge had only arranged one-tenth of the situation he was in, and who arranged the remaining ninety percent?

He was a little confused. In his cognition, since he traveled to this world, he had been living under the shadow of Su Changge.

The experience at every stage bears the shadow of Su Changge's layout, and the future path was also informed by Su Changge in advance.

It can be said that all chess games were played by him... Suddenly he remembered that scene, the scene he had seen in his mind.

The universe was a disk, and the stars were its particles. In that world, he saw two huge figures, and the person standing in front of him was Su Changge.

In that space, Su Changge was also a chess piece, and so were the Ten Paths of Heaven, controlled by an invisible giant hand.

The terrible thought came to his mind again at this moment, because the old man's words once again spread in his sea of consciousness.

Could it be that all this was not planned by Su Changge? Is there really someone else behind this, just as he had thought before?

This also explains why Chang He, who is in the game, can be preserved under the heavens, and why there is always an invisible big hand manipulating everything.

Perhaps it was not that Zhutian was unwilling to destroy Changhe, wipe out Su Changge, wipe out Pan Ling, and wipe out himself, but that the real chess player behind him did not allow him to do so.

The one who can make the heavens compromise must be an existence above the heavens. There have only been two people in the entire universe, and they are Chaos and True Spirit mentioned by the Star Turtle.

Chaos is dead, only the true spirit remains. Could it be that this situation was set up by the true spirit? This answer emerged in his mind, but it made him feel incredible.

I can't convince myself to admit such a guess.

If it was really the work of the True Spirit, what was his intention and purpose? Was it just to give birth to people like him and Su Changge, and ultimately overturn the order he established?

This doesn't make sense at all, unless the true spirit is sick. But if it's not the true spirit, then who could it be? Could it be that Chaos, the ancestor of the Star Turtle, has really awakened?

His expression changed from bright to dark, and his mind kept deducing various possibilities, looking for the truth of the matter. He tried to clear the fog and see who was standing behind Su Changge.

But it was always in vain.

He flipped the black chess piece over with his fingers, and finally asked the old man in front of him.

"Senior, you said that Su Changge only laid out one-tenth of my plan. Then, may I ask, Senior, do you know who the real mastermind behind this plan is?"

Looking at the confusion and puzzlement in Ye Tingmu's eyes, the old man still looked kind.

He said calmly, "I am also in this game. Since I am just a piece in the game, how can I know the person who arranged it? As far as I know, everything in the world is part of the game. I, and Su Changge you mentioned, are just auxiliary pieces on the chessboard, and you, Ye Tingmu, are the master of this game."

Since we are also in the game, how can we spy on the person who set up the game? The old man's answer is not unreasonable.

Yes, they are all chess pieces, so how can they be qualified to know who is behind the game?
