The images projected by the Heavenly Screen began moving forward again.
At that moment, not only were countless people in Douluo I and Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King watching, but Lin Yi himself was also keeping a close eye on the images projected by the Heavenly Screen.
He watched himself enter the Sun Moon Imperial City and make his way outside the grand hall, where he observed the conversation between the Sun Moon Emperor and the prince.
Naturally, Lin Yi was focused on the golden labels.
To his relief, as the Heavenly Screen advanced the images bit by bit, neither the current Sun Moon Emperor nor Xu Tianran's father received a label in golden lettering.
Both of them had a pivotal influence on the current situation.
Yet Lin Yi had not chosen to place his bets on them.
He had no intention of interfering with the running of the empire.
So he had not placed either of them as a piece.
Naturally, there were no golden labels.
Of course, Lin Yi was focused on whether there were any golden labels, while the viewers in Douluo I and Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King were focused on the conversation between the current Sun Moon Emperor and the prince.
The viewers in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King could at least compare it with their history, but those in Douluo I had no means of learning about the era Lin Yi lived in.
Their understanding of the world included no concept of the Sun Moon Continent or the Sun Moon Empire, much less ideas such as the Soul Engineer inheritance.
They simply could not understand the key issues of Lin Yi's era.
Now, the conversation between the Sun Moon Emperor and the prince had naturally become the key to understanding the background of that era.
Douluo I.
"So that's how it is. In Lin Yi's era, there were differing voices within the Sun Moon Empire. The current emperor leaned toward the peace faction, while the prince was far more aggressive."
"There's another thing. In Lin Yi's era, the Sun Moon Empire seemed to have the strength to swallow the Douluo Three Kingdoms like a whale, but it simply hadn't launched a war. No, from what they said, it sounded like it had, but ultimately failed to occupy the Douluo Three Kingdoms."
"That isn't right either. Why are there Douluo Three Kingdoms? Could it be that my Spirit Hall Empire never unified the continent?"
Qian Daoliu analyzed the information in the images, his heart growing somewhat heavy.
He caught fragments of the two men's conversation and finally resolved the question in his heart.
The Spirit Hall Empire was not among the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Instead, they were the three great empires of Star Luo, Heavenly Soul, and Dou Ling.
The Heaven Dou Empire had split apart!
However, just as Qian Daoliu wanted to hear more, Lin Yi did not stay in the imperial city any longer.
He set off toward the outskirts of Mingdu.
After leaving Mingdu, he headed straight for South Abyss City.
Although Lin Yi did not spend long on the journey, broadcasting it all in full would affect the viewing experience.
So Lin Yi tried speeding it up.
Sure enough, for the viewers' sake, it was possible to speed up this sort of delayed broadcast.
Thus, from the perspective of countless viewers, Lin Yi swiftly crossed the territory of the Sun Moon Empire and arrived at South Abyss City.
"What astonishing spiritual power. It can actually encompass an entire city."
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, streaks of golden light flickered and finally converged.
The Heavenly Screen's view also shifted automatically. Perhaps because Lin Yi was a little too far from Wang Xin, the head of the Wang Family, the view passed straight over Lin Yi, taking him out of the frame and crossing space to reach the Wang Family. It found Wang Xin and made him the main focus.
At the same time, the streaks of golden light finally condensed into large golden characters.
[Wang Xin, Martial Soul: Mutated Wind Blade (Metal-Eroding Wind), Soul Power: Level 85, eighth-tier Soul Engineer]
Seeing this, Lin Yi finally confirmed his hypothesis.
As long as he placed a piece, or settled on an idea in his mind, it would be reflected in the Heavenly Screen's projection.
At the same time, more conjectures arose in Lin Yi's mind.
The pieces placed in this Heaven and Earth Chess Game did not have to be either black or white.
So there was no need to determine whether Wang Xin would be loyal to him, or what would happen in the future. As long as he had decided to place Wang Xin as a piece, this information would appear.
"Taking that reasoning further, if Tang San places a piece, perhaps I can also see some information through the images projected by the Heavenly Screen."
A golden light flickered in Lin Yi's eyes.
If he really had this convenience, his Heaven and Earth Chess Game could be even more complete.
At the very least, he would receive more information from the Heaven and Earth Chess Game, and it would be more comprehensive.
Then he could survey the whole situation and gain more in return from the Heaven and Earth Chess Game, strengthening his own foundation.
Having verified his hypothesis, Lin Yi turned off the broadcast again.
He turned his gaze toward the Wang Family.
Would Wang Xin of the Wang Family be that gray piece?
Most likely not.
The pieces he placed were not necessarily black or white, but sometimes a person's position determined their role in the game.
Wang Xin had no reason to go over to the Douluo Three Kingdoms for no reason at all.
At that thought, Lin Yi suddenly felt that his reasoning was wrong.
"Am I the only one who can sense the Heavenly Screen's projection, or can Tang San sense it too?"
The Heaven and Earth Chess Game had been established. He was a player, and Tang San counted as one too.
Even if he was merely playing against a God King out of his own wishful thinking, it had ultimately taken the form of a chess game.
It had even drawn the intervention of an incredible special power like the Heavenly Screen. Could the Heaven and Earth Chess Game have already slipped beyond his control and reached a point even he did not understand, with Tang San quietly entering the game?
At that thought, Lin Yi instinctively looked up.
Could Tang San enter the game?
There was uncertainty in Lin Yi's gaze.
Soon, he reached a conclusion again.
Probably not!
"My coordinates have already been exposed in the Heavenly Screen's images. With my location known, there's no way Tang San wouldn't make a move."
At that thought, Lin Yi breathed another sigh of relief.
He did not think Tang San would still give him a chance to grow.
In that case, there was no need to scare himself.
After composing himself, he walked toward the Wang Family.
In just two steps, he was already inside the Wang Family estate.
In a secret chamber deep within the estate, Wang Xin was solemnly trying to craft the Soul Tool before him, completely unaware that another person had entered the chamber.
Lin Yi watched from the side as Wang Xin worked diligently on the Level 8 Soul Tool, but he had no patience to wait!
He made a little noise.
Hearing the disturbance, Wang Xin was immediately alarmed. Without regard for the state of the Soul Tool he was crafting, he tossed it aside and instantly turned to look at Lin Yi.
"Who are you?"
Lin Yi did not waste words. "My title is Chess God."
Wang Xin's pupils abruptly contracted.
Chess God Douluo was somewhat well known on the continent.
He had not expected this Chess God Douluo to appear silently in his own secret chamber.
"How may I be of service, Your Majesty Chess God?"
Lin Yi waved a hand. "It's nothing like that. I just came to ask whether you want to work for me."
Work for Chess God Douluo?
Wang Xin's eyes flickered, and he was clearly tempted.
Chess God Douluo was said to have received his title at twenty. Now that twenty years had passed, he was probably at least a Super Douluo.
With his support, the situation of Wang Xin and the Wang Family in South Abyss City would greatly improve.
