[The Final Eight-Ring Revelation, the **** Who Set the Rules, an Ant Gazing at the Azure Sky]

``` [You had no other choice.]

[Faced with the death trap on the third day, you could only put your faith in Senior Lin Feng.]

[In essence, you were trapped within the game, and you did not even qualify as a chess piece yet.]

[Still, you had some doubts.]

[You sought out Senior Lin Feng's avatar to ask him about them, recounting everything you had just experienced.]

[You explained that your third day would be the "final day."]

[In other words, you would reach that node and perish outright.]

[You also asked, "In the higher-dimensional future, can two identical Chen Fans exist at the same node?"]

[This was your main question.]

[You had not figured out Wang Hao's scheme of sending your first-day self to the third day, the "final day."]

[Didn't you possess the "authority" of [Immortal-Settling Journey]?!]

[If you used the "authority" of [Immortal-Settling Journey] to travel to a node in the [higher-dimensional future] where a Chen Fan already existed—]

[What would happen if you went to that node?!]

[Wouldn't there be two Chen Fans?]

[Looking at it another way, if this really worked, couldn't you stack an infinite number of Chen Fans?]

[Even leaving aside the anchored and sealed [higher-dimensional past], whose restrictions remained unclear, the [higher-dimensional future] alone offered this much room to maneuver!]

[However, since you had lost [Purple Talent: I Am the Chess Player], you could not determine whether attempting this would put you in danger.]

[That was why your main purpose in questioning Senior Lin Feng's avatar was to find out whether this idea was feasible.]

[After hearing you out, Senior Lin Feng's avatar fell silent for a moment before rejecting the idea:]

["It won't work. Your [Immortal-Settling Journey] is an 'authority' that has yet to undergo ascension
