Ch. 222As the World Is a Chessboard, the Tianyuan Move Is Made
Xuan Yin learned from Dao Ancestor Hongjun that the Saints and even Pangu were constrained by a supreme existence’s rules, then used a chess game to propose changing the roles of powerful figures across epochs. Hongjun rewarded him with the Heavenly Origin Cauldron before uniting with the Heavenly Dao, and Xuan Yin left with Hongjun’s prayer mat as well.
- Xuan Yin told Dao Ancestor Hongjun about the Wisdom Demon God’s memories and Pangu’s failed attempt to tear apart Chaos, and Hongjun explained the rules governing the epoch cycles.
- Hongjun challenged Xuan Yin to a chess game, and Xuan Yin secured a one-point win by placing the first stone at Tianyuan and mirroring Hongjun’s moves.
- When Hongjun asked how to break the cycle while obeying its rules, Xuan Yin proposed that Pangu and the other powerful beings exchange roles between epochs.
- Hongjun praised the idea and gave Xuan Yin the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, then told him to return if Luohu, Taiqing, or others made unusual moves.
- After Hongjun united with the Heavenly Dao, Xuan Yin took the prayer mat from the Cloud Bed and hurried toward the Purple Cloud Palace’s exit.
