All Living Beings as Chess Pieces. Chu Mu had traversed between reality and illusion many times.
Each time, under the Anchor Point's clear imprint, it had been an utterly uneventful crossing.
But this time...
What should have been a calm crossing suddenly churned with turbulence at the final instant when illusion and reality intertwined.
By Chu Mu's senses, at this moment, he should have stepped out and arrived in the real Spirit Realm, within that desolate marshland.
Yet at the instant of arrival, it was as though the spatial passage had abruptly fallen into disorder. The originally clear Anchor Point blurred in that chaos.
Most fatal of all, that blurring completely disrupted the Anchor Point leading to reality. Thus, the final destination of this crossing from reality into illusion underwent an unpredictable change.
After that instantaneous transformation, before Chu Mu could react, the spatial passage shattered with a roar. The scene within his perception shifted from chaotic space into something utterly different.
The void was vast, and starlight blazed brilliantly.
Chu Mu stood upon empty air. Before his eyes was the dazzling sky full of stars he had once glimpsed in passing.
Every point of starlight seemed to be a convergence of the world's truths. Invisible and tangible mighty powers of rules crisscrossed amid the Stars All Over the Sky.
The void, which should have been fragile, had seemingly leaped to an unimaginable level of solidity under the influence of these intersecting mighty powers of rules. At the very least, ordinary rule power could no longer shake it.
And now, amid the Stars All Over the Sky, Chu Mu himself had become a point of starlight. Not far ahead of him, Wangcai revealed his demonic beast body, and he too had clearly become one member of this sea of stars.
