Ch. 1501This time, we're throwing ourselves in!
While Zhou Heng played a chess match against Lord of Compassion, his allies chose to join his chaos forces and free sealed beings to strengthen him. Lord of Compassion’s counterattack blocked access to the Star Pillars, and Zhou Heng responded by sending half his Chaos Subjects through hidden routes as their contest continued.
- Zhou Heng kept his expression and chess moves steady after learning the method for activating "all beings' ten million heavens" while facing Lord of Compassion.
- The Real Universe allies discussed their inability to reach Zhou Heng and suspected he had begun fighting the Sea of Stars Lords in secret.
- The allies decided to let chaos infect them so Zhou Heng could use their power, while others freed beings sealed on the two great Star Pillars.
- Lord of Compassion placed a black stone, directing uncorrupted Sea of Stars Lords to blockade the Star Pillars and stop the allies from freeing more beings.
- Zhou Heng placed a white stone and sent half his Chaos Subjects through unusual spatial routes toward the Star Pillars, then asked Lord of Compassion what the pillars were.
- Lord of Compassion remained silent and continued playing as the contest over all beings carried on.
