Su Bai sat down beside the chessboard and looked at the man in green across from him.
The man in green appeared to be in his twenties. His features could even be called refined, with a gentle, scholarly air between his brows.
He possessed none of the resplendent divine might one would imagine an ancient supreme powerhouse to have, no imposing aura, nor the weathered marks that should belong to an ancient existence.
He simply sat there casually, in the laziest posture most comfortable to mortals, idly pinching a black chess piece between his fingers.

The deathly stillness around them blended with his plain aura. Rather than seeming abrupt, it instead formed an ultimate sense of ordinariness after all splendor had faded away and eternity had become empty.
Su Bai looked again at the chessboard before him. It was ancient and mottled, its wooden grain clearly visible, with even some faint chips along its edges.

Su Bai seemed to see countless scarlet eyes piercing through the darkness, converging into a Blood Sea that came surging toward him.
It was an incomparably bloody massacre!
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, hundreds of millions of departed souls!
Countless vibrant lives fell, and death shrouded heaven and earth!
Vaguely, Su Bai also saw that black piece transform into a terrifying Great Devil King, sweeping across heaven and earth,
