Volume 3, Chapter 78: The person behind the scenes.
The dignified Immortal King is actually in the game. The person who planned it must not be underestimated, and it is impossible for them to get a glimpse of it.
"It seems this game is bigger and more dangerous than I imagined, and breaking it is even more difficult."
There was a hint of coldness and sadness in his tone.
He was even more confused about the future, and the road ahead seemed to be shrouded in fog.
The two continued to talk, discussing the things in the game and speculating about the people outside the game, what their purpose and intentions were. In the end, they could not come up with an answer that could convince themselves and each other.
Perhaps the answer to all this is only known by the person the old man once met in his dream.
Perhaps this was the game he set up.
It is possible that there are beings in this world that are more powerful than the True Spirit or the Ten Heavens.
But why did he set up all this? Ye Tingmu didn't know, and the old man didn't know either. The answer to the question was only ahead.
The former Immortal King stopped, and later Su Changge stopped, but this time, how far can Ye Tingmu go, no one knows?
But it is what the old man expects.
Before they knew it, they had been chatting for a long time, and the chessboard in front of them was filled with densely packed black and white pieces.
The old man stroked his beard, and seeing that there was no child left, he said, "Is it level?"
Only then did the two of them regain their composure and realize that the chess game was a draw, with neither of them winning.
Maybe the old man didn't release the water today, or maybe Ye Tingmu had too many concerns and worries like the old man.
Although tens of millions of years have passed and he has grown for thousands of years, Ye Tingmu can no longer defeat the old man.
In fact, winning or losing was not the purpose of the two.
Ye Tingmu just wanted to accompany the old man.
"Even if it's a draw, you can still play a new game with me."
The old man waved his hand, and with a flick of his fingertips, the chessboard in front of him disappeared and sank into the sea of stars, returning to where it came from.
"No, you still have things to do. How can I delay you?"
"What's happening here doesn't matter at this moment."
The old man continued to shake his head upon hearing this, his gray beard dancing.
"You don't understand. If I go down, both you and I will end up in a draw, because you've changed. You're no longer the sharp-edged brat you once were."
The old man had a hidden meaning. Although he was talking about chess, he was actually talking about people.
He and Ye Tingmu played this game again, one to reminisce about the past, and the other for other purposes.
As a powerful half-step immortal, Ye Tingmu quickly understood the old man's thoughts and intentions, and bowed deeply to him.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand now."
The old man stood up with great satisfaction.
"Yes, this young man is teachable."
His powerful strength allowed him to stand at the top and look down at all living beings. In his eyes, everything became small and weak.
As a strong man, he naturally has compassion for all things in the world. It is this compassion that makes him sympathize with the chess pieces in his hands.
This led to him thinking carefully and finally drawing the game.
If the old man had not explained the principles of chess to him today, he might not have realized it.
People's hearts are too sad and great things are difficult to accomplish. The situation you are in is not an ordinary one and you cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.
If your heart is not ruthless, your path will be unstable.
The old man had been defeated because of this before, and he didn’t want Ye Tingmu to be like him.
Ye Tingmu naturally guessed the old man's good intentions. He knew that he must overcome this hurdle. Only in this way could he go further than the old man.
Only in this way can he avoid following in his footsteps, being threatened by the heavens and trapped here.
"Go, go and find your way to immortality." The old man waved his hand at him, indicating that he could go.
Ye Tingmu wanted to say goodbye, but stopped and asked again.
"Senior, if I encounter the Immortal Celestial Clan in the future, what should I do?"
The old man felt relieved that the young man could ask such a question, which meant that the young man in front of him cared about his thoughts.
He also gave Ye Tingmu's answer, which was also his attitude.
"What can we do? You and I are both in this game. The road ahead is long. Anyone who stands in our way will be killed. Remember what I just said. Do not act on impulse."
Ye Tingmu nodded heavily, "Okay, I understand."
After saying this, he bowed and stood up, taking two steps back, but then stopped and turned back to ask, "There's one more thing I want to ask you, Senior. Does anyone know who left that bronze statue?"
The old man's eyes were focused. "This thing has been here since I appeared. I don't know who left it here."
"Junior understands, then I will take my leave. One day, if I can slay the heavens, I will come here and rescue you."
The old man waved his hand outward.
"Go ahead."
The two of them were together for an unknown amount of time, only that it was long enough to play a game of chess.
They separated in a hurry, but they still talked about what they needed to talk about.
In the end, he did not ask the old man if he knew Black and White. He thought that if the old man was really the master of Black and White, he would surely be able to use him to spy on the existence of Black and White.
If he really is the master of black and white and wants him to know, he will definitely tell him. Since he doesn't say it, then I won't ask.
This may be the best choice for black and white or the elderly.
In fact, what he feared most was that if he asked and got a negative answer, it would be too cruel for Hei Bai.
Rather than knowing the truth, it is better to pretend to be ignorant and acknowledge the existence of all this, which will also give Hei Bai some expectations in his heart.
Perhaps for this reason, Hei Bai was able to break through to the realm of immortality.
He also believed that this separation was not forever, and the old man and he were destined to have interactions again, just like him and Su Changge.
Just because they are all in the game.
The old man looked at Ye Tingmu's gradually retreating back, his eyes dimming. "Go forward, child. We will definitely meet again in the near future. It seems that my mission will be completed soon. Then, I will be able to see Xin'er again."
Although he didn't know who was behind the plot, he already had the answer in his heart. He had never told Ye Tingmu about it, but he hoped that the young man could be more pure and continue to move forward. Only in this way could he have a chance of survival.
Ye Tingmu left the starry sky and came to the road of reincarnation again, and came to the stone sculpture.
Looking at the Sutra in this state, he did not linger for long, but muttered softly.
"I'll wait until I achieve immortality and then try to wake you up."
He began to move towards the end of the road of reincarnation, and finally came to the huge abyss.
The abyss was still surrounded by dense ghosts, which jumped into the abyss one after another, and were then torn to pieces by the black fog inside and escaped into reincarnation.
Ye Tingmu also came to the top of the abyss and stared down.
He had nearly gotten lost at that time, but now, the abyss could no longer bring him into the illusion.
The old man said that if you understand the law of reincarnation, you will enter reincarnation, so the answer lies in this black abyss.
Without hesitation, he took a step forward and escaped into the abyss.
"The last power of reincarnation, if I can break you, I will be immortal..."
