Past Li Ping then warned that the passage might not exist and that the being assimilating the Longevity Realm had been manipulating Chen Fan through their intelligence trades.

• Past Li Ping guessed that Chen Fan had gathered information about the world but was left with more questions, and urged him to destroy the Longevity Realm and everyone in it.
• Past Li Ping identified Chen Fan’s Judgment talent as a means that could target beings stained with karmic sin, potentially allowing him to destroy the world.
• Chen Fan realized Judgment might even target the Northern Land of Sin, but chose not to use the talent because he wanted to find a passage to the Immortal Realm.
• Chen Fan told past Li Ping what he knew about the Longevity Realm and explained his goal of finding the passage.
• Past Li Ping questioned whether the Immortal Realm passage was real and warned that the being assimilating the Longevity Realm had deliberately steered Chen Fan through their intelligence trades.

Chen Fan struggled to accept Past Li Ping’s revelation that the Supreme True Realm he knew was fabricated and incomplete. Past Li Ping insisted he had seen the real Supreme True Realm, but withheld what else he had learned, leaving Chen Fan with more questions.

• Chen Fan realized Past Li Ping had no reason to lie about his world being an artificial realm within the Supreme True Realm.

• Past Li Ping told Chen Fan that his Dao-seeking heart was not steadfast enough to doubt the truth of his account.
• Past Li Ping claimed he had once seen the real Supreme True Realm and warned Chen Fan that the realm in his memories was not real.
• Past Li Ping stopped before explaining what else he had seen, and Chen Fan fell silent to digest the revelation.

The narrator used three sets of eight rings to verify Past Li Ping’s claims about the being assimilating the [Longevity Realm] and the passage to the Immortal Realm. The revelations showed that the being was guiding the narrator to find that passage, hoping to claim the realm’s “sliver of vitality.”

• The narrator decided to wait for [Golden Talent: Listening] to verify Past Li Ping’s claims before acting on his suggestion to destroy the ruin realm.

• On the fourteenth day, eight rings revealed that the being had willingly entered the ruin realm to seek its “sliver of vitality,” the passage to the Immortal Realm, and wanted the narrator to find it for him.

You learned from Past Li Ping that a “sliver of vitality” was a unique, game-changing chance that could guarantee victory for a chess player. You then investigated Mu Changshou’s suspicious origins, guessing he was the reincarnation of the first Jade Pool Great Emperor, but remained unsure what the reincarnation was meant to accomplish.

• You told Past Li Ping about the existence assimilating the [Longevity Realm], and he explained that every game contained one unique “sliver of vitality” that could let a chess player overturn any disadvantage.
• You wondered whether the [Gods and Devils Realms] had such a sliver and considered whether your [Gods and Devils Overlord] card might become it if advanced.
• You reviewed the clues about the passage to the “Immortal Realm” and suspected Mu Changshou reached that place through some means other than the passage controlled by Heaven and Earth.
• You guessed that Mu Changshou was the reincarnation of the first Jade Pool Great Emperor and that the intelligence’s special timing marked the completion of that reincarnation.
• You pulled Mu Changshou out of the space inside your body to inspect his [Life-Bound Divine Ability], but could not force him to awaken it.
• You considered whether the first Jade Pool Great Emperor had reincarnated into the [Longevity Realm] with only part of their true spirit, leaving their original body elsewhere for an unknown purpose.
