Formal Engagement!

Inside the divine treasury.

Qin Leng floated cross-legged in the air. Although he had rejected Chen Ye and was currently trapped in the Divine Treasury, he still couldn't help but take a look at Earth.

With the divine selection over and the restrictions lifted, Qin Leng once again surveyed all directions.

In addition to Earth, he also cast one eye into a previous world, a world with a cultivation system.

That world is still the same as before, but it's been a bit unsettled lately.

The cultivation world was thrown into turmoil as golden light radiated across countless star fields, encompassing tens of thousands of planets—a scale that defied comprehension.

The being capable of causing such a large-scale anomaly could not be below the sixth order, so the final answer points to the seventh order.

"A sage has been born?!"

"Could it be... that the Immortal Realm is about to undergo a major upheaval?"

"Such a scene... I've only ever seen it in ancient books..."

"I heard from my ancestors' ancestors' ancestors that 410,000 yuan ago... that is, 53.1 billion years ago, someone once saw a saint take action..."

"The sage, gentle and refined, used the chessboard as his weapon, instantly killing nine other sages of the same rank with a single move!!"

Nine?

"Indeed... Great Dao Artifact, just like that..."

"It is said that for 30 billion years after that battle, no second saint was born in the Sea of Chaos. All the saints in the Sea of Chaos perished in that battle..."

"So what could possibly have caused a sage to reappear in the world?"

"Could it be... that other Great Dao Artifact have appeared in the world?!"

"So what is Great Dao Artifact?"

"The Great Dao Artifact have existed since ancient times. Legend has it that there was a supreme Creation God who created this world with all his might. After his death, his will transformed into the indestructible Great Dao."

"After the fall of this Creation God, his physical body was divided into six Great Dao Artifacts."

"And our Sage Lord's Heavenly Dao Chessboard is one of them."

"However, not just anyone can master the Great Dao Artifact. According to records, the power contained in the Heavenly Dao Chessboard is destruction."

"Being chosen by the Heavenly Dao Chessboard is both an honor and a misfortune, because once you hold the chessboard, the player is destined to die, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless one can overcome the will of Heaven."

"The Heavenly Dao Chessboard, once a move is made, there is no going back. Legend has it that for every move you make, the Heavenly Way will follow suit. If you lose, the Heavenly Dao Chessboard will kill its master and choose a new one..."

"Throughout history, without exception, all the owners of the Heavenly Dao Chessboard have died at its hands..."

"Has no one ever defeated the will of Heaven?"

"No..."

"And what about our sage?"

"Our sage... I don't know... but if our sage has triumphed over the will of Heaven, then surely He wouldn't have agonized over that one move for five hundred billion years..."

Humans cannot calculate everything, not even sages, but the Way of Heaven can. Therefore, this is a game in which defeat is inevitable.

Moreover, you only have one chance. Once you lose, the power of the Heavenly Dao Chessboard will completely erase your existence.

Therefore, everyone throughout history has lost, and those who come after have come to understand a truth.

When you choose to pick up a piece, you've already chosen how you'll die, and there's no way to change it.

This is the price of using the 'Power of Destruction'.

But there's always a saying, "Heaven never seals off all paths; the Great Way is fifty, Heaven evolves forty-nine, and one escapes."

The evolution of the Way of Heaven is incomplete; one of the Great Ways has not evolved, hence the saying that there is a glimmer of hope.

This glimmer of hope, passed down through generations, points to other Great Dao Artifact.

The only thing that can affect Great Dao Artifact is Great Dao Artifact itself; the meaning is quite simple.

It is said that there is a Great Dao Artifact called the Heavenly Book, which can trace the long river of time, glimpse the future, and reverse the past.

Therefore, if we can obtain this Great Dao Artifact, there might be a sliver of hope that we can overcome the Heavenly Dao!

Inside the divine treasury.

Qin Leng kept his eyes tightly closed. Saint... seventh level.

The Heavenly Dao Chessboard, the Destruction Chapter.

"So the legends of that world were true. There really were seven tiers, and there really were Destruction Chapter..."

Qin Leng manipulated his perspective to try and see what the saint looked like, but as soon as he turned his pupils, a voice suddenly flooded into his mind!

Have you seen enough?

What?

Before Qin Leng could react, his right eyeball suddenly exploded, blood gushing from his eye socket, and he completely lost sight of that cultivation world!

Qin Leng covered her eyes, "I have to say, no wonder it's a seventh-tier..."

Qin Leng used his remaining eye to look towards Earth, where the angel was confronting 009 in the universe.

Chen Ye was watching Entropy, and Entropy was watching Him, even though neither of them showed themselves.

Qin Leng opened his mouth... and remained silent for a long time before closing it again.

What am I doing?

"I've already said it, I'm a dead man, everything is no longer related to me, whether it's Chen Ye or Entropy."

Thinking this, Qin Leng completely withdrew his gaze and stopped observing everything around him.

The cosmic battlefield.

A hundred Sanctuaries surrounded the angel, and Lucifer gave the angel a sound piece of advice, "Entropy hasn't made a move yet. If you run now, you might still make it in time."

The angel grinned upon hearing this, "I want to run away too..."

But judging from this situation, it seems he won't have an easy time leaving, so... since he can't run away, he might as well not run.

The angel's body trembled involuntarily. "A hundred Saints! This is truly... exciting!"

If you ask whether the angels have a chance of winning, then there's absolutely no need to ask that question.

Faced with so many holy realms, he had no chance of winning, and the angels knew this too.

As for the immortality trait, once you reach the sixth or seventh tier, which is close to the origin level, the enemy's methods are always more numerous than you can imagine.

Even if these people didn't happen to have the means to kill the angel, they would have been more than capable of suppressing him.

"I wonder where that Dragon God has gone, hehe... I guess he's learned his lesson, since he's always the first one attacked in internal conflicts, hahahaha..."

The angel laughed, then flicked his right hand to summon Cross Sword.

Lucifer was somewhat surprised by this. "Are you really sure?"

The angel replied, "If you want war, then let it be. I have never been afraid."

"I don't like to use high-sounding words to portray myself as great. I am who I am, I never hide anything. I don't fight for anyone, I only fight if I want to!"

"That's enough!"

Snap!

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed the angel's shoulder from behind. The angel turned around and saw that the Dragon God had appeared behind him at some point.

"Don't rush to your death."

The angel grinned; this guy had actually come back at this time.

"So where did you go before?"

The Dragon God said, "Code people."

As soon as the dragon god finished speaking, several figures instantly appeared beside the two.

001 wiped the grease off his lips and then started stretching. "Let's get started. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can eat."
