The Eternal Grand Game!
The Missing Corner of The Great Dao (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2 Chen Dengming’s eyes suddenly grew cold, and the Hall of Human Heart blazed with radiant light, as an unyielding will of an Ancient Human Path Immortal was born from between his spirit.
The dissipating split soul immediately stabilized completely, no longer confused.
In that moment, the child Immortal let out a light yip from the heart that faced away from Chen Dengming.
...
He chuckled while tossing the chipped chess piece in his hand, his demeanor leisurely as he spoke.
“Shenxu, the chess piece in my hand is missing a corner, could this perhaps be the Heavenly Will?
No, this is not Heavenly Will, for Heavenly Will is also my will.
It seems that this is the missing corner of The Great Dao, and this missing corner becomes the variable.
With this move, I can determine the fate of all under heaven, the grand narrative from ancient times to the present!”
He had no sooner spoken when he swiftly lifted his hand, and pressed the chipped chess piece down onto the massive chessboard, amidst Chen Dengming’s astonished and shaking heart.
Chen Dengming’s spirit immediately followed the action.
The chipped white piece suddenly landed in the center of the area surrounded by the most Heizi on the board.
With this move, the entire board seemed to come to life, the scene undergoing violent changes, and the white tiger being bitten by the black dragon suddenly bared its fangs.
Its fierce, sharp teeth fully emerged as it viciously turned to bite back at the black dragon.
The large dragon screamed and roared in agony, blood staining the chessboard, and a hazy image suddenly emerged within that blood.
Chen Dengming’s mind roared, feeling as though he had suddenly seen a terrifying scene of living beings suffering in all corners of the world, witnessing the calamity foretold during ancient divinations.
From deep within the earth, a grey-black aura surged forth like Tribulation Force.
Any Cultivator who was touched by this Tribulation Force either fell in cultivation level or died explosively.
Even Nascent Soul to Spirit Transformation Cultivators, after being tainted by the Tribulation Force, met with a tragic end.
Strong as the Divine Transformation, they entered the stage of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man’s lifespan limit prematurely, ultimately dying in misery.
However, at that moment, rainbow bridges and Immortal’s gateways suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, leading the disaster-stricken people into them.
Behind the rainbow bridges and Immortal’s gateways was a vast Domain.
Anyone entering that Domain seemed to have entered a paradisiacal haven, avoiding the disaster and tribulation.
Within that haven, there was a shadowy figure too blurry to discern the face, who, with a pinch of the fingers, sent out rainbow bridges flying, crossing time and space, and landing in the Mortal World.
“This is…”
Chen Dengming’s spirit trembled, having seen this scene, he had a hidden guess in his heart.
But just then, the image quickly began to deteriorate.
His split soul’s power was nearly exhausted and was about to dissipate.
Suddenly, another scene emerged from the deteriorating imagery.
But in the image appeared a vast starry sky, and the figure of Qu Shenzong rapidly flew through the stars like a streak of light.
Flying into the depths of space, a huge celestial body like a Star Cloud appeared.
The moment Qu Shenzong saw that celestial body, a look of joy spread across his face, and he quickly flew towards it.
The scene had not yet ended, but Chen Dengming’s split soul could no longer sustain itself and completely collapsed.
…
“Ugh!”
Outside the clouds, Chen Dengming’s spirit suddenly awoke with a muffled groan.
“Nephew Chen, how did it go?
What did you see?”
Qu Shenzong, who had already awakened at the time of the split soul’s dissipation, immediately asked.
As he spoke, there was a trace of annoyance in his expression; the split soul had dissipated so quickly before that he hadn’t been able to see the specifics of the chessboard clearly.
Observing the Immortal’s chess duel was indeed no easy feat.
One must enter deep into the clouds in person to observe for an extended period.
A split soul could not last too long within it.
Chen Dengming stabilized his spirit and looked at Qu Shenzong, immediately relaying everything he had seen and heard.
Qu Shenzong’s expression was one of astonishment, “The Great Dao is incomplete, and the missing corner of the chess piece is the variable that can set the fate of all under heaven, set the course of the past, present, and future?
Nephew, is the Immortal saying that you are the missing corner of that chess piece, that you are the variable that can determine the fate of all under heaven and the future of the past and present?”
“It’s hard to say, it might not be so…”
Chen Dengming frowned and shook his head, “Both you and I entered to observe the game with a split soul, so it’s hard to say whether what the split soul sees is an illusion.”

“Ah!——” Qu Shenzong immediately raised his hand to stop him, speaking solemnly, “Nephew, earlier you indeed managed to keep the split soul there to observe the game, something even I couldn’t do.
The Immortal didn’t manage to capture your split soul for the game, perhaps you truly are the variable.
After all, you are the only one from ancient times to the present who has inherited the paths of both Heavenly Immortal and Human Immortal, and even developed your own unique path.
It’s not an exaggeration to call you a variable, and you shouldn’t belittle yourself.”
Chen Dengming was speechless for a moment, indeed unable to refute, wanting to be modest, but his current strength indeed did not allow for modesty.
This was not a moment for humility, but a time for responsibility.
Qu Shenzong paused his words, “Based on what you’ve described, the images you saw seem to be after the He Dao.
But even those who have completed He Dao would have a hard time controlling such a vast Domain.
The scene you saw, could it possibly be the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm?”
Chen Dengming frowned in thought, “It looks similar, since I saw Immortal’s gateways, but it also doesn’t match…”
Qu Shenzong pondered and nodded in agreement, a mysterious light shining in his eyes as he looked at Chen Dengming and said solemnly, “Perhaps that is the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Remember, I once told you that when you reach the stage of He Dao, you may borrow from the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm or Mortal World’s He Dao.
You created the Tao of Heaven and Man, and if you accomplish He Dao, you truly have the power to protect all under heaven during the grand catastrophe, fulfilling the expectation of your Ancestor…”
Qu Shenzong said this, and Chen Dengming himself began to believe a little, his expression curious, “It seems that the scenes shown in the chess game are the methods for resolving the Ancient Calamity in the future.”
